Chapter 457 Historical Level +1 [Subscribe]

"The eldest princess has been abducted. Your Majesty, do you know?"

Xu Chu's ears fluttered, taking in all the noises in the entire county, and he quickly locked onto the whereabouts of that group of people.

They kidnapped the eldest princess and ran to an alley next door at a very fast speed.

Princess Cao Ning was restrained and immediately fainted.

The other party rushed out of the alley and came to a busy long street.

They wrapped a cloak around the eldest princess to cover her clothes and accessories, so that she could blend in with the crowd and it was difficult to see any flaws.

Chen Ying: "Someone has already caught up with her. The princess will be fine. You don't need to be so nervous."

Xu Chu leaped up and ran as fast as flying.

Chen Ying, who was accompanying him, said, "You and General Dian have never been involved in other people's affairs. Do you know how many foreign merchants who came to our Wei Dynasty to do business were extorted and killed last month? The amount of money involved is equivalent to the tax revenue of two or three counties.

Because the case was so serious, it even alarmed Weiwei Cheng. "

"Is there someone secretly embezzling huge sums of money and destroying the business of our Great Wei?" Xu Chu said.

As the two were talking, they leaped forward above the building.

Chen Ying: "Jia Wenhe received news that the person who kidnapped and extorted a huge amount of money might be hiding in Cang County.

When we entered the city, our carriage, guards, and attire all looked like wealthy merchants!"

Xu Chu suddenly realized, "Your Majesty came to visit the people, and wanted to find out who was behind these things."

Chen Ying rolled her eyes and said, “Although this matter is not small, it is far from the point where Your Majesty needs to handle it personally.

Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and someone will investigate the case.

However, since we have encountered this, it is not our business to guess what Your Majesty is considering.

There are arrangements in the team just now, and your highness's safety will not be lost."

"That means the other party didn't know that they kidnapped His Highness and thought they were robbing the heir of a merchant family?" Xu Chu sighed.

Chen Ying: "Of course, if they knew it was His Highness, how could they be so stupid as to use such a despicable method to rush out in the street to snatch someone!"

The two of them stopped quietly on top of a building.

In an alley below, the group of people who had captured the eldest princess were placing her in a wooden cart waiting in the alley. Their preparations were quite thorough and they showed great experience.

It was a water truck with a large hollow wooden barrel on it.

There is a secret compartment in the middle of the barrel. Push the wooden board up and hide the unconscious person inside. Even if someone searches, it will be difficult to find.

……

Princess Cao Ning woke up from her coma and looked around with blinking eyes.

The experience before fainting emerged in my mind.

But she was not afraid at all, and was even a little excited.

My father is the emperor, and he has the most powerful generals and guards around him. Would he allow his daughter to be captured so easily?
It’s fake… or maybe my father knew about it and let someone else do it?

Cao Ning tilted his head calmly.

She was in a room that had been transported here, with a narrow window above.

She was thrown onto a pile of straw lying on the ground.

This place looks like a woodshed.

The princess found that she could move freely and was not tied up. She immediately stood up from the haystack, put her hands on her waist, and said to the outside:
"Is there anyone outside? Come in."

A middle-aged man came in from outside. He looked quite ferocious, but his expression was slightly surprised.

The people who snatched the princess back used some tricks.

According to their estimation, the eldest princess would not wake up until tomorrow at the earliest, so they did not put any additional restraints on her.

I didn't expect to wake up so soon.

The middle-aged man walked up, and Cao Ning suddenly raised his chubby little legs and kicked the kidnapper fiercely at a surprisingly fast speed.

A fierce look suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he raised his hand and was ready to slap.

At this moment, a sword appeared out of nowhere and stabbed the middle-aged man's temple.

He fell down immediately.

The eldest princess raised her lips and looked at Wang Yue who came out.

She kicked the middle-aged man, not to hurt the enemy, but because she calmly judged that her father's people would not allow themselves to be abducted.

She just wanted to anger the other party. If the other party dared to hit her, the guards in secret would have to take action.

"Grandpa Wang?" Cao Ning asked.

Wang Yue performed the ceremony respectfully, thinking that the child was like His Majesty, who remained calm in the face of adversity, and he exposed the truth as soon as he woke up.

When she woke up, she looked around the room and called the kidnappers in.

Wang Yue was hiding nearby and saw everything clearly, including angering the kidnapper, forcing him to show up.

This little princess is smart and courageous, and even adults may not have her insight.

Now that the traces have been revealed, the matter is over.

Wang Yue asked, "I will take Your Highness back?"

"Is Father investigating the case?" Cao Ning regretted exposing this trick and wanted to continue to participate.

Wang Yue smiled and said, “There is no case that requires Your Majesty to handle it personally.

It just happened that the situation happened, and I dare to think that Your Majesty probably wants to train Your Highness. You are the daughter of the emperor, and it is always good for you to have more experience.

Your Majesty probably hopes that you can know that not all problems can be solved by relying on Your Majesty and your status."

"Father just wants me to learn calligraphy and study with an open mind."

Cao Ning rolled his bright eyes:

"I said this is such a stupid idea. It doesn't seem like something my father would think of. Having someone snatch my child to scare me seems more like something my mother would use."

Wang Yue almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

At this time, Xu Chu and Chen Ying also came in from outside the door after hearing the sound.

Chen Ying picked up the eldest princess, and the group disappeared without a trace.

As for this group of kidnappers, they are real kidnappers. They mistook Boss Cao for a wealthy businessman passing by. Kidnapping and extorting huge sums of money is their usual tactic.

The subsequent case involved a large number of cases, and officials were involved. The relevant people under Cao Wei were responsible for the thorough investigation. Even Cao Cao was quite surprised by his daughter's response.

This child is as intelligent as himself - Boss Cao's theory is that he should have all the advantages.

In mid-September, he continued to move eastward and arrived at the eastern coast where Qingzhou and Xuzhou meet.

On the sea, two new ships are being launched.

At present, the shipyards along the eastern coast of Cao Wei mainly build large ships, while small and medium-sized ships are built by Japan.

After several years of preparation, Cao Wei now has one ship, the Dawei, and five larger ships, second only to the Dawei and capable of carrying 2,000 soldiers.

The six ships together can form a fleet with sea navigation capabilities.

It combines the functions of guarding, troop transport, assault and cargo transportation, which is spectacular.

There are even more smaller frigates.

Cao Cao came to inspect and issued an official order to explore the southern waters.

If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, the strategic attributes of the sea area are more important and it has more resources.

Going west from the South China Sea, you can land in the later Yue State, and continue westward to reach the eastern end of India.

There are several important archipelagos on the sea, including Yizhou, Zhuyazhou, that is, Taiwan Island and Hainan, which can be occupied first.

From the South China Sea to the south, the Filipino territory can also be occupied.

They have a stronger slave mentality and are definitely good at hard labor.

The Cao Wei fleet received an order and, led by Gan Ning, who was transferred back from Japan, sailed south.

The fleet will go to the waters near Jianye, dock for a period of time and complete the sea trial.

Then continue south.

Once we have stronger sea navigation capabilities, we will consider increasing the sea navigation distance.

Cao Cao came to the coast to have a look, then turned west and prepared to return to Yecheng.

At this time, the entry gives a new hint:

[You have been practicing diligently for many years, and your physique has become stronger day by day. Your physical sign +1, officially breaking through to the historical level]

Cao Cao was somewhat surprised that his physique had strengthened again, but this couldn't grow any longer.

The three-legged tripod should be balanced, otherwise it is easy to be caught in a dilemma.

He already has an imperial physique, and it would be inappropriate for him to grow any taller.

What is the historical level of this aspect...

That evening, the team set up camp in the wild.

Jia Xu entered Cao Cao's tent.

Cao Cao was reading the memorial that was sent to him.

"His Majesty."

"I received a message that a caravan has entered the Wei Dynasty from the Western Regions, and there are Parthians in the caravan."

Foreign caravans will be recorded at the border.

Besides the border troops, the border guards of the Wei Dynasty were also heavily guarded by spies. Although commerce was open, security was not relaxed.

Jia Xu obviously found something unusual among them.

"After entering the customs, this caravan split off into a small group. Among them was a woman who was registered as a princess of a small tribe under the Parthian Empire. She was seventeen years old."

Jia Xu: "They traveled along the way, enjoying the mountains and rivers, and gradually approached Fuping County."

Fuping County is adjacent to Yecheng. Cao Ang is working in Fuping County, in charge of farming-related matters.

Cao Cao glanced at Jia Xu, then lowered his head to continue reviewing the memorial.

"Cao Ang should be able to handle things on his own. The civil and military officials around him are all very strong. If someone is going after him, it may not be a bad thing to experience some changes. We will not interfere."

"Yes."

Jia Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll take my leave."

Cao Cao: "However, how did the other party know that Zixiu was in Fuping? There are no more than a dozen people who know Zixiu's whereabouts. Go and find out who leaked it."

Jia Xu bowed again and retreated.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao finished reviewing the memorial and came to the door of the tent.

Dian and Xu were outside the military tent, having a simple meal of pork head, donkey intestines, hot beans and a little wine as usual.

Supper time.

Cao Cao chatted with the two of them for a while and glanced in the direction of Yecheng.

There are innumerable disputes and conflicts in this world caused by interests.

After the unification of the Wei Dynasty, the country was generally stable, but there were always some people, inside and outside, who were unwilling to settle down.

Back then, Cao Cao tested Chen Gong and found no problems.

Chen Gong is currently serving as a county magistrate in a local area. Although he has not entered the central government, he is not treated unfairly.

And there is Xu You. Cao Cao didn't kill him, not because he was soft-hearted.

This is like an egg. A fly wants to bite the egg. If the egg is intact, it is impossible to know in advance where the fly will land.

But if you deliberately leave a gap to allow the egg liquid to seep out, flies will definitely bite the broken area.

Things will become clear.

Xu You once revealed Cao Cao's whereabouts for the sake of greed. Later it was confirmed that it was a Buddhist sutra preacher hiding in the dark.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry to execute Xu You. He wanted to see if anyone would contact him again.

Xu You is the egg that broke and revealed a crack.

He is currently placed in a less important position but has access to some secrets.

If there are hostile forces to the Wei Dynasty, they are nothing more than the Xianbei, Buddhism, and perhaps now there is also the Kushan?

They are in cahoots with each other and are at a disadvantage in head-on combat, so they can only plan in the dark.

In early November, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng.
