Chapter 1771: The Only Way
Cao Shuo was still thinking about how he could make more money, and news came from Yecheng that he didn't want to hear.
When he returned to Shouchun and found that Ma Teng was not there, he sent someone to Yecheng.
But Cao Cao refused to ask Ma Teng to return to Shouchun.
I planned to go there in person in a few days, but I didn't expect that not long after he came back, he actually got the news that Cao Cao was going to kill Ma Teng.
It was Xun You's cronies who came to deliver a letter to Cao Shuo.
After reading Xun You's letter first, Cao Shuo unfolded Ma Teng's letter again.
After reading the letter, Cao Shuo asked the sender, "Did Xun Gong say anything?" ”
"I didn't say anything, just asked me to send these two letters to Childe." The messenger replied.
From his answers, Cao Shuo judged that he did not know the contents of the letter.
"Good work." Putting away the letter, he shouted out the door: "General Zhu, come in." ”
Zhu Ao walked into the room.
Cao Shuo instructed: "Bring the messenger down to rest, and let General Deng invite Guo Fengxiao and Xun Wenruo." ”
"Please come with me." Zhu Ao stepped aside and led the messenger to retreat.
Deng Zhan, who was guarding the door, received Cao Shuo's order from him, and immediately left to invite someone.
Cao Shuo didn't wait long, Guo Jia and Xun Yu arrived under the guidance of Deng Zhan.
"Childe came to us over, is there something wrong?" After taking his seat, Guo Jia asked.
"Let's look at these two letters first." Cao Shuo handed the two letters to Deng Zhan.
Deng Zhan sent a letter to Guo Jia and Xun Yu respectively.
The two exchanged looks, and Guo Jia asked Cao Shuo, "What is the son going to do?" ”
"I'm asking you to come here to discuss what to do." Cao Shuo said: "Aside from the fact that he is my father-in-law, just talking about this matter, you shouldn't kill him." ”
"Ma Chao and Han Sui rebelled, as his father, Ma Teng should be ambushed." Xun Yu asked, "Why does Childe think he doesn't deserve to die?" ”
"If he doesn't die, Ma Chao won't dare to do anything." Cao Shuo replied: "If my father really killed him, what else did Ye Cheng have to worry about Ma Chao?" Although the Xiliang army can't do anything to the Cao family, once they invade the territory on a large scale, the people along the way will suffer. ”
"When Childe said this, I think it makes some sense." Xun Yu nodded, and then asked Cao Shuo, "I don't know how Gongzi plans to rescue Ma Teng?" ”
"I don't have any ideas." Cao Shuo said: "I sent someone to Yecheng before, and asked Ma Teng to return to Shouchun, but my father refused. Now that things have gotten to this point, I don't know what to do. ”
Guo Jia said: "I think Gongzi still has to go to Yecheng." ”
"What do you have in mind about Bonghyo?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Previously, Cao Gong did not agree to release Ma Teng, just because Gongzi sent a messenger to go." Guo Jia said: "If Gongzi goes to Yecheng in person, Cao Gongyi can see Gongzi's sincerity, and secondly, Gongzi can also explain the pros and cons of killing Ma Teng in person." Ma Chao rebelled, although Cao Gong was angry, but he would not be irrational. As long as Childe speaks with his heart, he may be able to convince him. ”
"If you can't convince your father, Ma Tengke will die." Cao Shuo said: "Although what Feng Xiao said is good, it is too risky. ”
"Besides this method, Childe has any other way?" Guo Jia asked, "Could it be that Gongzi plans to send someone to rob the prison?" You know, if you don't do that, Ma Teng may live. If he really did that, Cao Gong chased Shouchun and wanted to kill Ma Teng in front of Gongzi, and Gongzi could stop him? ”
Cao Shuo didn't say anything yet, and Xun Yu continued: "Feng Xiao is right, I also think this is the only way." ”
"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds and definitely save people?" Looking at the two of them, Cao Shuo asked.
"Nope." Guo Jia said with certainty: "We have followed Cao Gong for many years and know his temperament very well. At the beginning, Cao Gong killed Dong Guifei, and someone persuaded him, but had he heard of it? ”
Frowning slightly, Cao Shuo was still thinking about whether he could find a better way.
Guo Jia continued: "What Cao Gong decides, unless someone can really convince him, if he secretly messes with him, the trouble may be greater than the original trouble. ”
"I see." Cao Shuo said to the two of them: "Fortunately, there are two reminders, otherwise I might have done things badly." ”
"Childe is concerned and chaotic." Xun Yu stroked his beard and said: "Mrs. Ma is in the back house of the son, if she knows that Ma Teng was killed by the Cao family, how can she bear it silently?" Childe cherishes his wife, so he wants to save Ma Teng. It is precisely because of these that the rescue of Ma Teng must be successful. Not everything in the world can go well, even if you are as strong as a child, some things will be inadequate. Regardless of the outcome, the most important thing is that Childe did it. ”
"Do you want to hide it from Yunlu?" Cao Shuo asked the two of them again.
"Such a big thing, can Childe think he can hide it?" Guo Jia said: "Regardless of whether Ma Teng can be saved or not, the most important thing for Gongzi is to stabilize his wife first." told Madame about the matter, she saw Childe rush to Yecheng to save people, even if the result was unsatisfactory, she couldn't spread her resentment on Childe's head. ”
"I'm not worried that she's taking her anger out on me." Cao Shuo said: "Yunlu was born in Xiliang, and before I brought her to Shouchun, she had already lost her mother. If Ma Teng is killed again, no matter how strong her heart is, she will not be able to withstand it. ”
"If Madame knew the mind of the childe, she would be very moved." Guo Jia asked, "When does Childe plan to leave?" ”
"When something goes wrong, of course, the sooner the better." Cao Shuo stood up and said to the two of them: "I went to see Yunlu first, and then I went to Yecheng." Shouchun still has a lot of things to take care of, and the two of them have to worry about it. ”
"Don't worry, Childe." Guo Jia and Xun Yu said: "Since we are in Shouchun, of course we will do our best to assist the son." ”
Sending the two out of the house, Cao Shuo went straight to Ma Yunlu's residence.
I didn't know what happened in Yecheng, Ma Yunlu was dancing in the courtyard.
When she danced, she suddenly saw Cao Shuo, and as soon as the gun was retracted, she saluted Cao Shuo and asked, "Why is the husband here?" ”
"I'm here to see you wielding a gun." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Your marksmanship is more refined than when you were in Xiliang." ”
"What's the use of being diligent?" Speaking of Xiliang, Ma Yunlu thought of the scene when she tried martial arts with Cao Shuo, and she pursed her lips: "Even if I improve more, I am not my husband's opponent." ”
"If you want to be my opponent, you really need to practice for a few more years." Cao Shuo is not modest.
"Husband, this will come to me, it's impossible to have nothing to say." Putting the gun on the weapon rack in the courtyard, Ma Yunlu asked Cao Shuo, "I don't know what the husband commands?" ”
