Outside, the wind was howling and running in.

The flame faltered and shone on the screen according to the shadow of the person, Cao Cao took the empty bowl and knocked it on the table, he muttered: "You know ......"

Bumped again.

"...... you know ....."

Then he stopped, raised his eyes to look at the person next to him, and said again: "You know, why do you want to assassinate Your Majesty!" Don't you know that once the world is in chaos, there will be enemies everywhere. ”

"...... but the emperor will not die, in the future, you and I will bear the charge of killing the emperor?" Gongsun slammed on the table, stood up violently, turned around and walked a few steps, "Or do you want to give away the country we worked so hard to give away?!" Are you worthy of those below who were born and died? ”

"You can't do it right now!" Cao Cao followed.

"Killed in the sea of corpses and blood, why not be afraid of those who move their mouths behind their backs!" Gongsun stopped waving his hand violently, turned around, and clenched his fist: "You can't do it, then I'll come-"

The main hall was quiet, and the maids had withdrawn from the place at some point.

The two of them said a few words suddenly, and they were a little angry, but in front of the two of them's bigger enemies, this anger was nothing at all, Cao Cao waved his hand, and walked back and sat down with staggering steps: "Don't quarrel with you, let's put this matter down first, no matter what, if you come to Xu Du at such a juncture, I will thank you on behalf of my son......"

At the mention of Cao Ang, Gongsun Zhi pursed his lips and sat down next to him. Over there, the figure that lost his son sighed, trembled slightly, and looked up at the dome with his face up, as if talking to the air: "....... When Ziyu was a child, his mother died early, and he was raised by Ding...... Very filial....."

The words paused, and he choked up: "...... When he was older, he took him with me, and I thought about teaching him to become more responsible, Ziyu had never traveled far away, and when I went to the grassland, I was worried about whether it would be injured or worse...... I heard your letter about how bloody and heroic Zi Yu fought in Liaodong, but my heart was about to jump out. ”

"Later, I asked Zihe to bring him back, thinking that taking him with me would make him worry-free......" Cao Cao wiped his face, and his straight back withered slightly, "...... is in the Cao family, originally this is his life. ”

Gongsun Zhi listened quietly to the words of the man named Father.

Cao Cao's eyes were red, he took a deep breath, poured wine, and poured it down: "This is fate...... But what can I do? Can killing Zhang Xiu get my son's life back? ”

"Can't-"

He slammed the table, the wine dripping from the tip of his beard, and laughed: "In front of people, I am Sikong, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and I govern countless people, but behind people, I can't even cry once in front of them——"

The long case flew out with a bang, and fell down the stone steps, Cao Cao's eyes were red, and tears finally fell, he looked at Gongsun Zhi, still smiling, but his fingers swept around the hall, "Gongsun, look...... You see if they're laughing at me, and I'm still telling them it's okay, isn't it just a son! I also want to tell the whole world that it doesn't matter if my son is dead, and if the general is injured, I have to shout and ask for warmth, this is how I Cao Cao loves it! ”

"Haha......."

He sat down on the stone steps, kicked the flask away from the ground with one foot, laughed more ugly than cried, and after a while, his hand grabbed his hair in a bun, and cried out, slamming his fist on the ground, his face distorted.

"....... but ....... I lost my son! Gongsun! My son is gone...... Gone...... In the midst of the chaos, he also gave me his horse...... He's gone. ”

He just smashed the ground, his hands dripping with blood, his eyes red and crying, distorted like a madman in the dim light.

Outside, the guards who heard the movement wanted to rush in, but they had just crossed the threshold.

Gongsun Zhi raised his head, waved his hand, and shouted at them: "Get out-"

When the guards saw the situation inside, they were so frightened that they hurriedly withdrew, and even closed the door as they left. After a long time, the man's hoarse and ugly cry stopped, Cao Cao rubbed his forehead and shook it, "Seeing the smile, you really can't do this in front of the people under your command, only you can understand the chill of standing on a high place." ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will talk too much about Cao Sikong's ugliness today?" Gongsun Zhi put the long case back, poured wine and handed it over.

"I'm afraid!" Cao Cao wiped his face with his long sleeves and smiled dryly: "But your grandson won't say, it's late at night, go back to your room to rest, and take you to see the emperor tomorrow." ”

The two of them were about to get up, the door was suddenly pushed open, a girl poked her head into it and glanced inside, and quickly retracted it, Cao Cao beckoned: "Qinghe, what are you doing, there are distinguished guests here, how can you be rude." ”

"Father.....

Hearing the words inside, the door opened a little wider, and the girl came in carefully, and timidly glanced at the man standing next to her father on the stone steps, "Yu saw that it was late at night, and his father had not returned to his mother's residence, so he came to take a look, since his father still had important things to discuss, then ....... Nayu will retreat first." ”

Cao Cao probably had some love for this daughter, and he also knew her eccentric nature, so he just smiled, waved his sleeves to let her out, turned around and asked, "Gongsun, can you marry a wife?" ”

"How...... Cao Sikong first mentioned the seniority and be my father-in-law? Gongsun Zhi laughed and walked out side by side with him, "But unfortunately, I have already married, and the child will be one year old this month." ”

"Depending on the age, I can be your father."

The conversation between the two was unrestrained, Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, he walked a few steps, and looked at Gongsun, "It's really a pity...... Qinghe and Ziyu are both mothers, and there was originally a son named Cao Shuo, but unfortunately he died early and went with his mother. If I can find a good match, I will marry her off immediately. ”

"You're driving people, it seems that this daughter is giving you a headache." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand, "I already have a wife at home, do you want your daughter to be a concubine?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and didn't mention it again, but then asked: "I am afraid that the person who can enter your grandson's eyes is not an ordinary woman, I don't know where it is?" ”

"Commonplace."

"I know?"

Gongsun Zhi thought of Cai Yan who was far away in Shanggu County, and his gaze softened, "Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Zhaoji." ”

"Then Gongsun is going to be a generation shorter than me." Cao Cao laughed suddenly, walked in front, and turned his head slightly: "I have an acquaintance with Cai Shizhong, and when Zhao Ji sees me, she has to call uncle, and you really have to change your words in the future." ”

The two walked through the corridor, and after laughing for a while, Gongsun Zhi pressed the words and looked serious: "There is something I want to explain to Sikong." ”

"What?"

Gongsun stopped walking, the swing of his robe shook a few times, and he spoke: "At this time last year, Zhao Ji gave birth, and a woman in the Hedong Wei Family United Palace sent a strong assassin to infiltrate my mansion, wanting the lives of the mother and son and the two sons, and wanting to cut off my liver and intestines, and now that the court is in the hands of Sikong, then tomorrow, I will kill two people!" ”

There was anger in his voice.

"There is only one person in the Wei family in the court, Shang Shulang Wei coveted, who else is there?"

"Is there a woman named Ren Hongchang in the palace?"

Cao Cao frowned, turned around, and waved his hand: "Yes, only you can't kill her now." As for Wei Qi, I will see him tomorrow, and if you want to kill, you can only go outside the city, otherwise the face of the court will be maintained. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say to Sikong about the following......"

Gongsun Zhi walked over, bowed his head slightly and whispered a few words in Cao Cao's ear, the latter squinted his eyes and nodded: "I can help you with this, but be careful of self-defeating, you are unstable in the north, and then let Yuan Benchu drill the gap." ”

"I just want to see what is unstable in my family."

The night breeze blew through the two of them, creating an air of conspiracy.
