Liu He didn't answer, but picked up the jade back into the sack one by one.

After picking up all the jade and sealing the mouth of the sack, Liu He smiled and said: "This matter, I will sell it first, and when Lu Zijing of Eastern Wu arrives, I will explain it to you together." ”

Cao ** stared at Liu He in disbelief: "What did you say?" Lu Su is also coming to Xuchang? ”

Liu He thought about it, stretched out his hand and counted a few times, and said calmly: "I estimate that in the next few days, he should be able to arrive." ”

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked with a sneer, "Do you still dare to live in Xuchang City?" ”

Liu He smiled, "Then why don't you dare, you are a prime minister, you can't snub the guests who come from afar, right?" I heard that when Second Master Guan was here, you had a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days, and you also gave him a lot of jewelry beauties. Beauty, you don't have to send it to me, those big and small banquets are also exempt, I'm a quiet person, I don't like to be lively, but delicious food and drink must be indispensable, as for jewelry...... If you have to send it, I won't stop you, I can't refute your good intentions, right? ”

Cao Cao looked Liu He up and down, smiled with relief, called his subordinates loudly, and instructed to treat this Mr. Tianji well.

Liu He smiled and clenched his fists, said thank you, got up and walked to the door.

didn't take a few steps, Liu He suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked seriously: "That Fazheng, how is he now?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at him, and the few subordinates who had just come in immediately retreated.

After everyone left, Cao Cao said unhurriedly: "To be honest, I didn't expect that Fa Zheng would really come to Xuchang. Yesterday he has met the Son of Heaven, and in a moment he will come to my house for a feast, and I think that after this feast, there will be another great strategist to my account. ”

Liu He thought about it, turned around, put down the sack, and said calmly: "I want to hear what he will say, okay?" ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and pointed to a corner of the room, "I'll ask someone to put a screen there in a while, and when he comes, you can hide behind the screen and listen." ”

Liu He smiled and waved his hand, "Don't bother so much, I'll just stay on the roof." ”

Cao Cao nodded expressionlessly, "Whatever you want, but I have one condition, no matter what Fa Zheng says, you can't make it difficult for him." ”

Liu He said calmly: "He is no longer a person from Shudi, I have no right to investigate what he says, I'm just curious." ”

Turning over to the roof, Liu He lay on the ridge of the roof, looking at the sky in a daze.

The reason why he made this request to Cao Cao was not out of curiosity, but because he was worried that Fa Zheng would tell Cao Cao about the fake Liu Bei.

Once Cao Cao knows about this, it will not be as simple as just seizing power like Fazheng, I am afraid that the entire Yizhou will experience a catastrophe.

Liu He thought very clearly, once Fa Zheng told this matter, he could only give up this tripartite negotiation first, rush back to Yizhou overnight, and discuss countermeasures with Zhuge Liang.

At the time of the lantern, Fa Ru came to Cao Cao's mansion as promised.

Liu He sat up and watched the faint light at the entrance of the mansion.

Fa Zheng is still up and down, exuding a feminine aura, which makes people very uncomfortable to watch.

Entering Cao Cao's mansion and getting in touch with this Cao Cheng is an opportunity that many people can't envy, but Fa Zheng doesn't seem to take these things to heart.

Looking at his thoughtful appearance, I don't know what is going on in my heart, and from the moment he entered the door, there has never been a trace of a smile on his face.

Entering the house, the two sat down separately, Cao Cao immediately raised his glass and said loudly: "I have heard Mr. Jiu's name, like thunder, when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”

Fa Zheng hurriedly got up and gave a salute, "Cao Gong has won the award, and it is an honor to meet Cao Gong today." ”

Liu He, who was on the roof, pouted, this kind of vulgar compliment, it is really rare for Fa Zheng to listen to it seriously, and Fa Zheng's answer was obviously full of flattery, which made Liu He feel disgusted.

After only listening to the beginning, Liu He jumped off the roof and left Cao Cao's mansion.

In the latter words, even if he doesn't listen to it, Liu He can guess a rough idea, but one party wants to keep the available people, and the other party wants to take the opportunity to sell himself at a good price.

However, hearing Fa Zheng's humble words, Liu He was relieved, a person who was waiting for the price to sell would not be so easy to throw out all the hole cards in his hand in one go, so fake Liu Bei's matter, Fa Zheng will not tell Cao Cao immediately, but will wait for a more suitable time.

This understanding of officialdom, Liu He also has some experience recently.

There are some things that you always have to experience to understand.

As for when he had an epiphany, Liu He himself can't remember, he can't understand it, he can't guess it before, and he can't figure it out, but it seems that one day, it suddenly became enlightened.

In Liu He's view, Fa Zheng is a person with great ambitions, who has just failed in the struggle for power in Yizhou, and when he comes to Cao Ying, he will first restrain himself for a while, and then make some plans when the time is ripe.

Moreover, when he first arrived in Xuchang, although Cao Cao appreciated his talent, he may not really trust him.

At this time, if the fake Liu Bei's affairs are fully revealed, Fa Zheng may not be able to get any benefits from it, but will give up this great opportunity to others, this kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others, how can the shrewd Fa Zheng do it.

It's just that Liu He didn't expect that when he jumped off the roof and walked out of Cao Cao's mansion, the glass of wine that had just been served in Fa Zheng's hand was put down again.

Cao Cao was very satisfied with the deference and respect shown by Fa Zheng before, and it could be seen that Fa Zheng did not drink the glass of wine he personally toasted, and Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy.

Fa Zheng put the wine glass on the table, fumbled in his arms for a while without hurry, took out something, and put it on the table.

Cao Cao didn't say anything, just looked at the thing on the table that was tightly wrapped in a handkerchief, and frowned slightly.

I heard that Fa Zheng has a gloomy personality and many quirks, which made Cao Cao a little unsure for a while, what Fa Zheng wanted to do, and he was in urgent need of talents, so it was not easy for him to ask rashly.

Since he wants to use Fazheng, he should save face for him, or keep it, Cao Cao's face softened, and he also put the empty wine glass in his hand on the table, quietly waiting for Fa Zheng to give him an explanation.

Fa Zheng smiled and opened the handkerchief layer by layer, revealing a red flower.
