After saluting Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu moved, leaned to Cao Cao's side, and said in a low voice:

"This Zhuge Kongming is a disciple of Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, and it is said that he is better than Guan Zhong and Le Yi. and Yingchuan Shi Guangyuan, Runan Meng Gongwei, and Boling Cui Zhouping, these people are called the four friends of Lumen. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was also a little surprised.

Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping, all three of them are masters outside the world, and Cao Cao heard of their names when he was a teenager.

A young man like Zhuge Liang in front of him can be said to be on a par with Shi Guangyuan, even if his talent is not necessarily comparable to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, he is not much worse than him, right?

Those who can be called the four friends with the world's masters, how can they be general?

Besides, Zhuge Liang is standing in front of him now, and that kind of independent and out-of-the-world appearance is very capable of bluffing people.

"I don't know what Mr. Kong Ming is here, what are you doing?"

Knowing the origin of Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao's attitude was also a lot more correct, and he sat on the top and asked.

Cao Cao naturally hoped that talented people would come to him.

Just looking at Zhuge Liang's current outfit, whether he came to defect to him Cao Cao, Cao Sikong is really not sure.

Zhuge Liang held the feather fan, bowed to Cao Cao again, and replied: "The student is here to ask Cao Gong for one person and one thing. ”

"One person is Lu Bu's widow; One thing is the seven-star knife in Cao Gong's bag. ”

After that, Zhuge Liang bowed again.

This trip to Xuzhou to see Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang's main purpose is to save Lu Bu's daughter from the tiger's mouth, so as to have the cause and effect with Lu Bu.

Cao Cao is a wife, but he will not spoil Lu Bu's daughter. However, it is recorded in the wild history of later generations that after Cao Cao returned to Xuchang this time, he rewarded the daughter of Lu Bu to a meritorious general, and then there was no follow-up.

If he didn't take advantage of the moment to rescue Lu Bu's daughter, the cause and effect that he Zhuge Liang owed Lu Bu would basically not be able to pay off.

In this way, the road to immortality has added a great calamity.

As for asking for the Seven Star Knife, it was only incidental.

The material of the Seven Star Knife was originally Extraterrestrial Meteorite, and Zhuge Liang was ready to refine it into a magic weapon.

Cultivating the Dao method of the Sea of Stars, there is a magic weapon recorded in it, which can make the monk practice twice the result with half the effort.

Zhuge Liang's injuries have basically healed in the past few days, but he is not in a hurry to cultivate, what he is waiting for is to ask for the Seven Star Knife, and then refine the treasure that assists in cultivation.

There is a way that does not bother the two masters.

Since they all opened their mouths to ask Cao Cao for Lu Bu's daughter, what does it matter if they ask him for a seven-star knife again?

They all need to owe Cao Cao cause and effect, so they simply combine these two causes and effects together, and they will be repaid in the future.

……

It turned out to be asking for Lu Bu's daughter and the seven-star knife!

Cao Cao was a little disappointed in his heart, but he was also a little curious.

"Lu Bu is dead, and his daughter doesn't matter, it was originally meant to be rewarded, and it doesn't hurt to give it to Mr. Kong Ming."

"It's just that Cao is very curious."

"It stands to reason that Mr. and Lu Bu have no connection, but why are you asking for Lu Bu's daughter now?"

"Moreover, that seven-star knife has a lot of origins and is very valuable, but it is not a good blade for fighting."

"Mr. wants the Seven Star Knife, don't you want to collect this knife?"

In Cao Cao's words, he called Zhuge Liang Mr., but it was also based on Zhuge Liang's sanctimonious appearance.

After Lü Bu was defeated, his family was also captured by Cao Cao.

For Cao Cao, Lu Bu's concubine Diao Chan could still make him fascinated. As for Lu Bu's daughter, it is not his Cao Cao's dish, and it will only be given to a certain general in the future.

Now, Zhuge Kongming asks for it in person, even if it is to make friends with talents, it doesn't hurt to give the tiger girl to Zhuge Liang.

It's just that this Zhuge Kongming also asked for the Seven Star Knife.

If Zhuge Liang had no reason to convince, Cao Cao was not prepared to give away this knife easily.

Hearing Cao Cao's questioning, Zhuge Liang smiled, bowed again, and then replied: "Cao Gong is respectful." ”

"Mr. Wen Ruo already knows that the student is a disciple of Mr. Shui Jing, that is, he is a person outside the square, who jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. On weekdays, it is just a quiet ode to "Yellow Court", smiling at Fengyue. ”

"It's just because of the night that Lu Bu fell, the student's cultivation made a breakthrough, but it was also because of the disorder of the heavens, which caused the student's qi practice to go wrong."

"This is the cause and effect between the student and Lu Bu!"

"We outsiders pay the most attention to cause and effect. If cause and effect fail, cultivation will be like sailing against the current. ”

"Yes, the student came to Xuzhou and asked Cao Gong for Lu Bu's daughter, but the cause and effect with Lu Bu."

"Wan Wang, Duke Cao has mercy, and send the daughter of Na Lu Bu to the students!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang bowed again.

When Zhuge Liang explained the reason for asking for Lu Bu's daughter, Xun Yu came to Cao Cao's side again and whispered: "What Zhuge Kongming said is not bad. ”

"He is a disciple of Mr. Shuijing, and he can be regarded as an outsider."

"The night Lu Bu died, it was indeed a disorder of heaven."

"A few days ago, there were suddenly a lot of people of unknown origin in Xuzhou, all of whom looked like immortals and masters outside the world, maybe it was for the chaos of heaven when Lu Bu fell."

Xun Yu just proved from the side that what Zhuge Liang said was true, and he did not intend to help Zhuge Liang.

……

At the top of the place, Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's report, but Zhuge Liang said: "As for the seven-star knife, it was more than 700 years ago, the cadres Mo Ye and his wife obtained a piece of extraterrestrial meteoric iron, cast two divine weapons, and then cast it with the rest of the materials. ”

"Gan General, Mo Ye, these two divine weapons have long disappeared now, and only this seven-star knife that the world doesn't know has been inherited."

"In this dynasty, the seven-star knife has become the heirloom knife of the Situ Wang Yun family."

"It is said that in the past, when Dong Zhuo was in trouble in Beijing, it was Cao Gong who borrowed this knife from Wang Situ to assassinate Dong Zhuo."

"Later, Dong Zhuo rewarded this knife to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu handed it over to Diao Chan."

"A few days ago, I heard that Diao Chan cut himself with this knife."

"This treasure knife has been turned around several times, and now it is back in the hands of Cao Gong, what the student said, Cao Gong thinks it is right or not?"

As Zhuge Liang talked eloquently, Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others were a little surprised.

The Seven Star Sword is not as famous as the cadre and Mo Ye, and its origin has always been known to only a few people. If it weren't for the need to assassinate Dong that day, Cao Cao would not have known the origin of this knife.

Even now, only a few people know the heel of this knife.

So, how did Zhuge Liang know about this knife and foot?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly became clear about the identity of Zhuge Liang's outsiders.

Zhuge Liang continued: "The Seven Star Sword has risen with Cao Gong, and it will become a famous sword in the future." ”

"However, the students did not seek this knife for the purpose of collecting famous knives."

"Recently, the students were preparing to refine a magic weapon, but the only material they lacked was the Extraterrestrial Meteorite."

"It just so happens that the Seven Star Sword is made of extraterrestrial meteoric iron."

"Yes, I beg Gong Cao to give the seven-star knife to the students together!"

……

Giving Lu Bu's daughter to Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao is not indispensable, it is just a seven-star sword......

After a little silence, Cao Cao asked: "Mr. begged for Lu Bu's daughter for the sake of cause and effect between him and Lu Bu. Then, if I send Lu Bu's daughter to Mr. Yu, won't Mr. and I have another cause and effect? ”

"Besides, the Seven Star Knife is a favorite thing, if it is given to Mr. Yu, wouldn't it add cause and effect?"

The way of cause and effect, Cao Cao didn't understand very well.

But he knew that if Zhuge Liang took Lu Bu's daughter and the Seven Star Sword from him, there would be cause and effect between Zhuge Liang and him Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very curious, what should happen to Zhuge Liang about this cause and effect.

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "This cause and effect owed to Cao Gong is actually the best." ”

"There is a way, the sky has unpredictable storms, and people have good and bad luck. Those who are stumbling today may not be able to achieve their aspirations; Those who are complacent today may not be imprisoned one day. ”

"Now, Cao Gong serves the Son of Heaven to please him, but he may not be able to be proud of everything in the future."

"Today, I, Zhuge Liang, am not talented, and I made a promise: If he is imprisoned in prison for Cao Gong one day, I, Zhuge Liang, will save your life!"

"Cao Gong thinks that this promise, can this cause and effect be resolved?"

Zhuge Liang remembered that whether it was in the memory of his previous life or in the romance records of later generations, when Cao Cao was killed in Chibi, Zhuge Liang deliberately arranged for Guan Yu to block Huarong Road, and finally allowed Cao Cao to escape.

This is inevitably not Zhuge Liang in the previous life, repaying Cao Cao's cause and effect!

If Zhuge Liang in his previous life really wanted to intercept and kill Cao Cao, why did he arrange for Guan Yu to block Huarong Dao?

There are lessons from the past, and when he repays Cao Cao's cause and effect in the future, he Zhuge Liang only needs to follow suit.

Although it is said that because his Zhuge Liang is no longer the original Zhuge Liang, the Battle of Chibi may not happen. However, since he Zhuge Liang will go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei sooner or later, he will also fight against Cao Cao on the battlefield sooner or later.

At that time, just let Cao Cao live, which is also the cause and effect of today.

……

Cao Cao was complacent at the moment, and although Zhuge Liang didn't like what he said, Cao Cao still listened to it.

Mainly, Cao Cao thought of an upcoming big war from Zhuge Liang's words.

Nowadays, in the north, Yuan Shaozheng is defeating Gongsun Zhan.

Once Yuan Shao completely takes Youzhou, he will inevitably turn his troops south.

At that time, the first to bear the brunt was him Cao Cao.

Decisive battle with Yuan Shao?

Cao Cao really didn't have much chance of winning.

Yes, when Zhuge Liang said, "If he Cao Gong is in prison one day, I, Zhuge Liang, will come out to save your life." Cao Cao's first thought was that when he fought Yuan Shao in the first day, he Cao Cao was likely to be defeated.

And Zhuge Liang's promise was to save his Cao Cao's life.

Compared to life and power, the Seven Star Sword is nothing!

After a little silence, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Okay, Lu Bu's daughter and the Seven Star Sword can be given to you." ”

"However, I hope that Mr. Zhuge will not forget today's promise!"

People outside the party may not be able to turn the tide of the war, but it is not too simple to save someone's life on the battlefield. Therefore, Cao Cao still believes what Zhuge Liang said that he would save his life at a critical moment.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Cao Gong, please rest assured, I Zhuge Kong Ming Yinuo, it will not be easy for eternity!" ”
