The man in the green shirt followed closely behind the shopkeeper and said with a slightly sad face: "Father Fang Cai said that Cao Pi has at least five years to live, so wouldn't my father's plan have to wait for many more years?" ”

The shopkeeper slowly turned around and looked at the man in green shirt with a smile, "Five years or seven years, it's just a flick of your fingers." I, Sima Yi, have been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting a few more years. ”

On the official road from Xuchang to Chang'an, Liu He sat alone on a big stone on the side of the road and closed his eyes to recuperate, and beside him, there were several black-clothed people, who had already died of anger.

Coming out of Xuchang last night, Liu He went straight to Chang'an, and finally caught up with the killer sent by Cao Pi here.

What surprised Liu He was that the martial arts of these black-clothed people could only be regarded as ordinary masters, and they were simply vulnerable in front of Liu He.

Liu He sat alone on the boulder and thought about it all night, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

Although Cao Zhang was born in the Cao family, he is a famous general in the world, how high Cao Zhang's martial arts are, it is impossible for Cao Pi, who is an elder brother, not to know, and Cao Pi himself is also good at swordsmanship, and he should understand that a killer of this level will definitely not last ten rounds under his younger brother.

The stakes are very high, and with Cao Pi's cautious character, it is impossible for such an omission, and the only explanation is that Cao Pi did it on purpose.

But why did Cao Pi send a killer who couldn't work at all to intercept Cao Zhang?

Liu He clearly remembered that last night in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao once used a word, interception and killing.

Liu He subconsciously glanced at a few corpses on the ground, the kung fu of these people, not to mention intercepting and killing Cao Zhang, I am afraid that it will be a problem to make Cao Zhang stop the war horse.

On the official road, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, which greatly confused Liu He's thoughts.

He sighed, picked up two weapons used by the man in black from the ground, and stood on the official road with a sword in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, waiting for the man in the distance to approach.

The person who came rode a high-headed horse with a red red helmet, black armor, and a large knife pinned to the seat buckle, with a burly figure and an extremely brave appearance.

What was even more surprising was that the man's hair and beard were very different from ordinary people, and they were burnt yellow.

The unique appearance in this world is Cao Cao's third son, Cao Zhang, Cao Ziwen, who was called by Cao Cao as Huang Xuer.

Liu He silently watched Cao Zhang's fast horse gallop over, flipped his wrists with both hands, waved his sword in the air a few times, and then put on a posture to meet the enemy.

The master has made a move, and there is no need for so much nonsense, so he will fight first.

Cao Zhang is a master among the masters, and naturally he will not drag the mud and water, seeing a person holding a weapon standing on the road, he immediately took off the big knife and held it in his hand, and at the same time urged the war horse under his crotch to start accelerating.

The position in front of you is like a cavalry charging against an infantryman.

It stands to reason that this should have been a crushing trend for the cavalry to crush the infantry, but after the weapons of the two collided together, Liu He, who was under the horse, seemed more at ease.

Cao Zhangwan didn't expect to encounter such a difficult opponent, and he flew him off the horse.

Cao Zhang took a few steps back, and then he barely stood still, and his arm still felt sore.

He was just about to question Liu He, but he found the corpses of the black-clothed people next to the official road, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

"I'm not here to be your enemy, I'm just entrusted by someone to bring you a message, Xuchang's matter is over, you can go back." Liu He threw the sword in his hand to the ground, making it clear that he had no intention of fighting Cao Zhang again.

Cao Zhang also put away the big knife, turned over and got on the horse, and without saying a word, continued to go in the direction of Xuchang.

Liu He sighed, suddenly turned around and caught up with Cao Zhang, jumped high, grabbed Cao Zhang's heart, and pulled him off the horse again.

This time, Cao Zhang did not make any resistance, but just let Liu He drag him to the ground, and when Liu He let go of his hand, Cao Zhang said: "I recognize you, you are Mr. Tianji of Shudi, even my father wants to give you some face, but this is my Cao family's business, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Liu He said calmly: "Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but this was entrusted by your father himself, so it has something to do with me." ”

Cao Zhang turned around, stared at Liu He for a while, and asked, "How is my father's illness?" ”

"I don't know, but at least he was sane when he entrusted this to me last night."

Cao Zhang's fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's impossible for my father not to let me go back to Xuchang, the fourth brother is still there, and the second brother won't let him go easily." ”

Liu He smiled bitterly: "I didn't understand this matter at first, but after sitting here for a night, I realized something to some extent, do you remember, what happened to the Yuan family in Hebei at the beginning?" ”

Cao Zhang's brows were still furrowed, but his clenched fists gradually loosened.

"The situation of your three brothers today is the same as that of Yuan Shao's three sons back then, your father really doesn't want to watch your three brothers kill each other and repeat the mistakes of the Yuan family, other than that, I can't think of any other reason."

Seeing that Cao Zhang still didn't open his mouth, Liu He continued: "As for your fourth brother, I don't think Cao Pi will harm him. The corpses on the side of the road were sent by Cao Pi, I fought with them, and I couldn't hurt you at all, since Cao Pi didn't even have the intention of killing you who held the military power outside the city, then Cao Zhi in the city would not be able to do anything. ”

"Is that true?" Cao Zhang looked at the corpses on the side of the road, but he was still skeptical.

"I think there are two possibilities for this matter, one is that there is some kind of agreement between your father and your second brother, he will pass the throne to your second brother, and at the same time, Cao Pi must not harm you and your fourth brother to protect the reputation of the Cao family. The second is that Cao Pi really thinks about the love of flesh and blood, and he can't bear to attack the two of you. ”

Cao Zhang snorted coldly, "He? He only has the world in his heart, how can there be these two brothers of us! ”

Liu He said calmly: "What kind of situation it is, in fact, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that Cao Zhi's life is not in danger now, and if you take care of the reputation of the Cao family, it is better to return to Chang'an earlier." ”

Cao Zhang was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "As a son, I should always go to see my father for the last time." ”

Liu He sighed lightly and said: "From the day you were transferred out of Xuchang, you should have expected that sooner or later there would be such a day, and you should also understand that this last meeting, your father and son are destined to not see each other." ”

Cao Zhang held a big knife and was silent.

"Okay, I've done what he asked me to do, and I've said what I shouldn't say, how to do it, you choose, if you still want to go to Xuchang, I won't stop you."

After that, Liu He turned around, and after stepping out of Cao Zhang's sight, he immediately jumped onto a big tree on the side of the road, and secretly observed Cao Zhang's movements from a high place.
