Officials close to Cao Pi were killed, and Cao Cao also got the news.

He didn't say anything, retreated from everyone, and led Xu Chu to Ding Yao's residence.

When Cao Cao came, Ding Yao hurriedly greeted him.

"Why does my husband have the leisure to come to me?" Ding Yao bowed and asked him.

"It's not that Zirong provoked me, I'm upset." After entering the room, Cao Cao sat down and asked, "Have you heard that Wu Zhen and the others died?" ”

Ding Yao lives in the back house of the Cao family, and the news is relatively closed, of course she hasn't heard of it yet.

When Cao Cao asked, Ding Yao asked in surprise, "Could it be that the husband thinks that the son melted dry?" ”

"Who else but him?" Cao Cao said: "Overnight, the people close to Zihuan were killed, and I am afraid that only Zirong can do it in the whole world." ”

"Husband, too." Ding Yao said: "Good things don't go to Zirong's head, but this kind of thing is insisted that he did it." ”

"No one else can do it so neatly except him." Cao Cao said: "He must be for Chong'er, how can I blame him?" ”

"What does the husband mean......" Cao Cao linked the death of Wu Zhen and others with the death of Cao Chong, Ding Yao, who had not expected this, was stunned for a moment and asked him: "Chong'er was ......"

"I suspect it's Zihuan." Cao Cao said: "If there is really evidence that it is him, I will definitely not spare him." But I asked people to check for a long time, but there were no eyebrows at all, but I found Chong'er's personal attendant in a well in the back house. ”

"No wonder Zirong has always been bad for Zihuan." Ding Yao said: "He has long known that Zihuan's heart is not right. ”

"At the beginning, I still wanted Zihuan to control Zirong." Cao Cao sighed and said, "Now it seems that Zirong is the one who really values his brother very much. Zihuan never thought about the opportunity to get any benefits from me in his life, gave him power, and didn't know how many sons I would die at his hands. Now that Wu Zhen and the others are dead, it's a good thing for me. ”

"With so many officials dead, the husband actually said it was a good thing." Ding Yao poured a cup of tea for Cao Cao and said, "I really don't understand what my husband thinks. ”

"Do you really not understand or do you not understand?" Cao Cao said: "These people are dead, but it's a good thing for Zirong." From now on, Zihuan will not be able to compete with Zirong. ”

"I'm just a woman, how can I understand this." Ding Yao said: "If you don't say it, I'm afraid I won't understand it for the rest of my life." ”

"Chong'er's death is related to Zihuan, and Zihuan must have been Wu Zhen's idea to do this." Cao Cao said: "Even if Zirong doesn't kill Wu Zhen, I will find an opportunity to kill him." Now that Zirong has done it, it has saved my strength. ”

"The husband melted it one by one." Ding Yao said: "If someone else did it, wouldn't Zirong be wronged?" ”

"If someone else had done it, I would have been disappointed." Cao Cao said: "Even in such a situation, he did not kill Zihuan, which shows that he still has some affection for his brother." I have to reward him. ”

Ding Yao didn't say anything.

It's been a long time since Cao Cao had spoken so much to her.

It's obviously in a good mood to be able to sit here with her about this.

"Don't tell anyone what I tell you." Cao Cao said: "Especially Mrs. Huan, although I suspect that Chong'er died at the hands of Zihuan, I have no evidence. Once there is a disturbance, the entire back house will not be peaceful. Implicating the back house is not good for Zirong. ”

"Don't worry, husband, I won't talk nonsense." Ding Yao said: "I know that this kind of thing can only rot in the stomach. ”

"If only you understood." Cao Cao stood up and said to Ding Yao: "I'll go first, and I have to think about what reward I will give Zirong when I turn back." ”

Sending Cao Cao to the door and seeing him go away, Ding Yao instructed the personal maid: "Get some wine later, I will invite the ladies of the back house to get together." Mrs. Huan lost her beloved son, as for Mrs. Bian, she should have a lot of things to do, so these two don't need to be invited. ”

The maid retreated.

Back in the room, Ding Yao actually covered her mouth and smiled softly.

Cao Cao was completely disappointed in Cao Pi, and from then on, Cao Pi never had the opportunity to compete with Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo secretly killed so many people, but it could make Cao Cao feel happy, and Ding Yao couldn't understand what Cao Cao was thinking in his heart.

However, none of this matters.

The important thing is that Cao Pi is not treated by Cao Cao, and from now on, Cao Shuo will not have to worry about someone secretly slandering.

Of course, Ding Yao would not be so stupid as to go against Cao Cao's intentions and talk to the ladies in the back house about Cao Shuo's killing of Wu Zhen and others, as well as Cao Pi's secret plot to kill Cao Chong.

She still knows Cao Shuo very well.

Cao Cao thought he wouldn't kill Cao Pi, but Ding Yao didn't believe it at all.

Ding Yao believes that Cao Shuo kept Cao Pi for the time being, entirely because Cao Cao was still there.

As the son of the Cao family, of course, he can't bear the charge of killing his brother, once he is disgusted by Cao Cao, he will lose far more than he will gain by killing Cao Pi.

Cao Pi will die sooner or later, but it's not time yet, of course Ding Yao doesn't need to deliberately fall into the trap at this juncture......

Huo Wu, who returned to Shouchun after carrying out the mission, almost came to Shouchun with the messenger sent by Cao Cao to reward Cao Shuo.

The news brought back by Huo Wu, Cao Shuo didn't need to ask, it was already clear.

Of course, he had to receive the envoy sent by Cao Cao first.

The envoy who came to Shouchun was Cui Yan, who was loyal to the Yuan family at the beginning, and after the official crossing, he served Cao Cao.

When he came to the front hall and saw Cao Shuo, Cui Yan bowed and saluted: "I've seen the eldest son." ”

"Cui Gong is a messenger sent by his father, so there is no need to be polite." Cao Shuo asked: "Cui Gong, who dares to ask, this time I came to Shouchun, is there something my father wants me to do?" ”

"Gong Cao doesn't have anything to do with Gongzi." Cui Yan said: "He just thought that Gongzi had outstanding military exploits but did not reward him, so he specially came to Shouchun to reward Gongzi." ”

"What is my father going to reward me?" Hearing that there was a reward, Cao Shuo grinned and asked Cui Yan.

"Childe doesn't lack anything now, Cao Gong thinks about it, so he can only let me send this treasure." Cui Yan beckoned behind him.

An accompanying guard walked in with a tray in his hand.

Uncovering the silk cloth covering the tray, Cui Yan said: "This knife is the seven-star treasure knife presented by Cao Gong when he assassinated Dong Zhuo, I don't know if Gongzi likes it or not?" ”

Deng Zhan stepped forward, took the treasure knife from the tray, and handed it to Cao Shuo with both hands.

Taking the knife, Cao Shuo took out the scabbard and looked at it and praised: "It's really a good knife, but I'm good at using a sword, and I'm afraid this knife can't go with it." I would put it in the most conspicuous place, always thinking of my father's kindness to me. ”
