In recent days, Xu Du has been extremely lively up and down. Especially in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are lights everywhere, and the doors are like a city. Not for anything else, just because half a month later is Cao Cao's fourth or fifth birthday.

Since Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xudu, he has monopolized power. flattered, and there were countless people who befriended Cao Cao. The scale of his birthday was even faintly larger than that of the Son of Heaven, so there were many people loyal to the Han Dynasty who hated Cao Cao even more. But they all dare to be angry...

Wang Ling trembled and took a crimson invitation, threw it aside, and slapped the table.

"Humph!! What a big pomp!! ”

Wang Hao, who was pushing the door in, was startled, and looked at his angry father with some puzzlement.

"What are you doing here?!"

Wang Ling put his hands behind his back and suppressed the anger in his heart!

"I took the family heirloom jade from my father as a congratulatory gift from the prime minister! My father once said that children dare not forget! ”

Wang Ling turned around violently and looked at Wang Hao gloomily. Suddenly laughed, turned and went into the inner room. He came out with a brocade box and placed it on the table.

Wang Hao cautiously picked up the brocade box and opened it gently, only to see a piece of jade lying in it, and the whole piece of jade was natural. It does not contain a trace of impurities, and it is overflowing under the reflection of the light...

Wang Hao swallowed his saliva, this piece of jade is the ancestral thing of his family, it is said to be the treasure jade of the Spring and Autumn Period. On weekdays, even he can't watch it at will, but now his father can really take it out and give it to Cao Cao as a gift. It seems that the day of prosperity of the Wang family is not far away.

"Hao'er, give it to the prime minister for your father."

Wang Hao bowed excitedly.

"Yes!!"

Just as he was about to exit, Wang Ling suddenly spoke

"Hao'er, as far as my father knows, your Imperial Forest Army is responsible for all the defense of this birthday. You have to be careful not to make any mess!! ”

"Remember, child!! Father, don't worry!! ”

Wang Hao slowly exited the room holding the brocade box.

Wang Ling's eyes were cold.

"Cao Cao, my stone will be your sacrifice!!"

At the same time, the Shadow Guard Mansion was equally busy. Xu Chu and Zhang He, as Cao Cao's favorite generals, are favored on weekdays. On Cao Cao's birthday, the two of them also racked their brains to prepare their congratulatory gifts.

Xu Tian has not rested since he came back from the Xianghua Building, and has been preparing for the defense of the birthday in the room. All signs indicate that Wang Ling will make a big move on his birthday. It's a pity that Yang Yuan didn't hear the detailed plan, just relying on one-sided words. He Yu Fei's letters may not be able to shake Wang Ling's foundation.

As long as he can't completely destroy Wang Ling at one time, his situation will be very bad. And this time, Cao Cao handed over the defense secrets to himself, once he made a mistake. You will also be in danger. So he must be fully prepared...

The silence was broken by a knock on the door, and after getting Xu Tian's permission, a guard pushed the door and entered

"Great Commander, the Prime Minister is invited!!"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao sat at the table. Holding a piece of jade and admiring it carefully, he made a sound of admiration from time to time.

Seeing Xu Tian come in, Cao Cao smiled.

"Come, come, take a look. This is a congratulatory gift that Wang Ling just sent to his son, look at it, what a good jade!! ”

Xu Tian understood this, and coped with a few words perfunctorily. Kneeling opposite Cao Cao.

"Xu Tian, tell me. This Wang Ling gave me such a good thing, why?! ”

"The prime minister is powerful and powerful, and everyone wants to try their best to tie the knot. Of course, Wang Ling is no exception!! ”

"Hey, hey!! I just like real people like you. You're right, there are a lot of people who have squeezed their heads and want to send me things because they are dragging their relations around, but this Wang Ling is not among them. He is a man of his own pretensy who never takes me seriously, and now that I am in power, he wants to eat my flesh and drink my blood. But why do this to me?! Well?! Hey!! It shows that his ambition is not small!! ”

Cao Cao said with a smile and slowly stood up. As he walked, he played with the jade in his hand.

"Good stuff, really good stuff!!"

"Smack"

A crisp voice came, which really startled the silent Xu Tian.

When I turned my head to look, I saw that the beautiful jade was now scattered all over the place, turning into countless fragments. Splashed in all directions.

"Good things are good things, but I don't like jade. This kind of thing is flashy and useless. I love swords!! ”

Cao Cao clapped his hands, shook his head and said. Without looking at the debris on the ground, he returned to his seat and sat down.

"What, it's distressing?!"

Xu Tian came to his senses and smiled reluctantly.

"I don't like these things either!!"

"Oh?! So what do you like?! ”

"I like to be in charge of my own destiny!!"

"Hahahaha..."

Cao Cao laughed.

"It seems that the Grand Commander has great ambitions!! If you want to control your own destiny, you have to destroy the fate of others, you have to be like me, do you want to be like me?! Do you know how many people dream of taking my Cao Cao's head?! ”

Cao Cao got up violently, almost touching Xu Tian's face. Said gloomily.

Xu Tian felt Cao Cao's gaze and clenched his fists.

"But the person who wants your head will die before you!!"

Cao Cao glanced at Xu Tian again meaningfully.

"On my birthday, there will be a lot of people coming. There are congratulations, there are those who watch the excitement, and of course, there are those who want to kill me!! You're the one who protects me, guess what they're going to do to you?! Is your fate in their hands?! Hey!! ”

"You go first, just remember what I said to you last time, I'm a little tired. Rest, rest, rest..."

Cao Cao said, lying on the bed beside him.

Xu Tian was still silent and slowly stood up. Exit the room.

Just before he was about to exit the door, Xu Tian suddenly turned around. Shen Sheng said:

"Remember the Prime Minister's teachings below!!"

Cao Cao, who was lying on his side, closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly...
