I seemed to have found the key to solving the problem at once, and the eyes that looked at the jade chapter were full of greed. "Cao Cao" accidentally caught a glimpse of my almost green eyes, and immediately put the jade medallion back in his pocket, as if he was afraid that I would snatch it.
As soon as I saw the action of "Cao Cao", I realized that I was acting a little gaffe, coughed embarrassedly, and then asked seriously:
"Afu, where did you get this thing?"
"When I woke up, I found it on my body. ”
"Can you lend me a look?"
"No, you can't. ”
It was probably my performance that cast a shadow on "Cao Cao", and he rejected my request with the utmost determination. However, I did not give up, and continued:
"You don't want to show me, you can borrow Sinan to see the head office, right?"
Sinan, who had been standing by and watching the play, didn't expect that I would pull the matter on him, and almost subconsciously turned around to leave when he heard me mention his name. I grabbed him quickly, gave him a "there is a secret here" look, and then looked at "Cao Cao" expectantly.
With Sinan, the middleman, "Cao Cao" had no reason to refuse, and after hesitating for a long time, he reluctantly handed over the jade medal to Sinan. However, before Sinan could hold it, the jade medal was snatched from my hand.
Seeing that his treasures so cherished had fallen into my hands like this, "Cao Cao" couldn't wait to pounce on me and beat me. But I didn't give him a chance to burst into anger, because when my hand touched the jade medallion, I was sure that the person we had been looking for was sealed inside.
The excitement was beyond words, and I repeatedly rubbed the jade medal with a warm texture, trembling and said to "Cao Cao":
"Ahu, the person we are looking for is here. ”
Neither of them expected such a result, and they were stunned for a while, and neither of them did not speak. When "Cao Cao" reacted, he almost went crazy and held my shoulders with both hands, asking over and over again if what I said was true.
I was very excited, but when I was shaken by "Cao Cao", my excitement was almost as loose as my bones. Finally stabilizing "Cao Cao's" mood, we went to his room together to study how to break the seal.
These things are what Chenbei is best at, and he likes to study some magic circles and seals and things like that when he has nothing to do, so when I handed over the jade medal to Chenbei, his interest was higher than those of us who were waiting for the seal to be lifted. Since we can't help with this kind of thing, we just sit and wait.
Half an hour passed, and Chenbei was just playing with the jade seal, without any movement, or even any change in expression. "Cao Cao" and the others were a little anxious, and couldn't help urging:
"It's been half an hour, haven't you found a way to break the seal?"
"This seal is not as simple as we thought, and to break it, I need to know a problem first. ”
"Asked. ”
"Cao Cao, Guo Jia's thoughts, are you ...... You know?"
Chenbei's knowledge of "Cao Cao" came entirely from those novels, so much so that he always felt that "Cao Cao" was a person with a stinky, bad temper and unapproachable temper, so he first asked tentatively to avoid guessing the minefield and then being blown up by "Cao Cao"'s violent temper.
Faced with Chenbei's question, "Cao Cao" thought for a long time, and finally asked:
"What's on Bonghyo's mind?"
"Huh?"
"Cao Cao's" reaction surprised several of us, and our reaction also made "Cao Cao" scratch his head. I looked at "Cao Cao" with a blank face, and said with hatred:
"You said you let me say what is good about you? Are you thinking about how to fight, Guo Jia has something on his mind, this is something that everyone can see, you have never cared!"
"I ......"
For a long time, "Cao Cao" has almost been a domineering existence, even if it is wrong, he has never let go of his identity and status. But now, he was so arrogant that he sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, with his head bowed, at a loss.
I realized that what I had said was a bit heavy, and whispered sorry to him. "Cao Cao" shook his head and said slowly to us:
"No need to apologize, you're right, all these years in my mind have been thinking about things related to war. Maybe at the beginning, I did have the intention of bringing down Dong Zhuo and supporting the Han family, but after experiencing too many wars, I began to get used to the pleasure that war brought me. For you now, this habit is terrible, but for me at the time, it was extremely exciting. I was so immersed in the excitement of blood that I couldn't extricate myself, and I was entangled in self-blame and enjoyment over and over again, and I couldn't stop myself. ”
"The first person to find out about this was Bonghyo, but he didn't say anything, just tried his best to make sure that I could return to the place where he was alive every time he decided to send troops. He cares about me, I know, but I don't give him the same sincerity. I didn't stop until he died, and if Xun Yu hadn't left me in the end, I don't think I'd ever realize that I had failed him. How can I live up to him, who is so good......"
As if talking to himself, and as if he was accusing us of himself, the suppressed voice of "Cao Cao" lingered in the room, pulling the whole air a little depressed. Chenbei really couldn't stand such an atmosphere, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say:
"Thousands of years have passed since your business, I don't want to judge, and there is no point in arguing about right and wrong. So I'll tell you frankly, the reason why I asked you this is because I found that it was Guo Jia himself who fell this seal, and as long as he wanted, he could break this seal at any time. Since he wants to seal himself, there must be a reason, and there must be a reason why he is unwilling to break this seal until now. None of us, including you, are in a position to make a choice for him unless he agrees to it. But if you insist, I can also break the seal from the outside world. It's just the consequences, I'm not responsible. ”
As soon as Chenbei said this, let alone "Cao Cao", even I began to hesitate. Will Guo Jia miss us as much as we want to see him?
I was suddenly very unconfident.
