The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sat down on the edge of the bed carefully.

"Don't cry, this day will come." Cao Cao raised his hand to help the woman wipe away her tears, but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift his arm.

The unruly hero who has been unruly all his life hid the imperceptible unwillingness, and said deeply: "After I die, you can no longer live in this prime minister's mansion, there are boxes of jewels on the table, you can take them and divide them." ”

After that, Cao Cao gave the woman on the side of the bed a look, and the woman walked to the table, hugged the box, and opened it to see that there were very few jewels inside.

"There is only so much I can leave to you, from tomorrow, you will move to Tongquetai to live, make more female red on weekdays, and weave some cloth, it will be enough for you to live."

Several women burst into tears and cried around Cao Cao's bed.

"Don't cry!" Cao Cao frowned, and then coughed violently.

Several women were so frightened that they hurriedly took a few steps back and fell to their knees.

Looking at these former favorite concubines, Cao Cao's face gradually softened, and he waved at them and motioned for them to leave.

Several women didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated respectfully.

A young man who had been waiting at the door for a long time waited for the women to go away before entering the house.

Seeing the young man walk in, Cao Cao was very excited, and he was about to sit up, but he struggled a few times, but he still couldn't get his wish.

The young man didn't care about giving a gift, so he hurriedly stepped forward and supported Cao Cao, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, the child is here, the child is here." ”

Cao Cao looked at the young man's eyes, and there was a kind of kindness that was rare in his life, "Zijian, do you know why your father called you here?" ”

Cao Zhi nodded vigorously, his face full of concern for his father, "Father, you better talk less and rest more." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There are some words, if you don't say them now, I'm afraid there will be no more chances." Zijian, before you die, I want to hear you tell the truth, do you blame me in your heart? ”

Cao Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "The child doesn't dare to blame his father, but he doesn't understand why his father made such a decision. ”

A trace of desolation flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, he sighed, and said softly: "It seems that you still have resentment in your heart, blaming me for choosing your second brother, but not you, right?" ”

Cao Zhi was silent.

"If this family business is just a few houses and a few acres of fertile land, I will leave it to you, not your second brother, but unfortunately, this family business of our Cao family is really too big."

Cao Zhi was unwilling when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "The child wants to complete the great cause for his father, and he is confident that he will not lose to the second brother." ”

"But he can kill you and your third brother for the great cause, can you do it?" Cao Cao lay on the bed and said calmly with his eyes closed.

Cao Zhi heard the words as if he had been struck by lightning, and after a long while, he spoke: "Now the third brother is on the way back to Xuchang, he doesn't know that his father changed his mind at the last moment, if the third brother he ......."

"Ziwen, he won't come back," the corners of Cao Cao's mouth showed a hint of bitterness, "Your second brother has already sent someone to intercept and kill him halfway." ”

Cao Zhi was shocked, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and begged bitterly: "The child has no intention of fighting for power, and asks his father to save the third brother's life!" ”

After saying this, Cao Zhi suddenly woke up to the fact that this is what his father said, he is not as good as his second brother.

Cao Cao looked at his son, who was full of remorse, sighed, and said softly: "Don't worry, I have a friend who will rush over, and the killers sent by your second brother will disappear from this world, and no one will know where these people came from, what they are doing, and no one knows what happened between my three sons of Cao Mengde." That friend of mine will stop your third brother on the way, and if he is there, your third brother will not come to Xuchang again. ”

Cao Zhi doubted: "Is the friend my father said worth entrusting?" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Don't worry, he is the only person I have said in this world, I will ask him in person now, and he will definitely help me." ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, which seemed to be deliberately raised in a raised voice, Liu He suddenly stood up, jumped onto the high wall, and disappeared into the night.

"Father, the guards in the house, I think it's better to strengthen it a little more, tonight you ordered the removal of the guards around the bedroom, isn't it ......?"

"Just do what you want, anyway, I've already finished what I should say, you go down, I'm tired and want to rest." Cao Cao waved his hand at Cao Zhi and slowly closed his eyes.

Cao Zhi stood up and gave a deep salute, "Father rest early, and tomorrow morning, the child will come to visit his father again." ”

After that, Cao Zhi respectfully stood in place and waited for his father's response until he couldn't cry.

Leaving from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu He went straight to the gate of Xuchang.

Cao Cao was seriously ill, a curfew was imposed in the city of Xuchang, and the city gates in all directions were closed early, and the guards were quite tight.

No one is allowed to go out of the city without the official documents of the Prime Minister's Mansion, of course, these so-called official documents issued by the Prime Minister's Mansion are all written by the staff of the second son Cao Pi.

To put it bluntly, without the order of the second son, no one would want to take half a step out of Xuchang City.

Not to mention those outside the city, even the palace maids and eunuchs who do errands for the royal family have to honestly wait outside the city until dawn before entering the city.

Liu He turned the city gates in four directions, and suddenly felt a big headache.

Although he had been mentally prepared, the strict guarding of the city gate still greatly surprised Liu He.

This kind of big battle that can only be seen by the death of the emperor in the previous dynasty clearly indicates that a bloody storm will be set off in Xuchang City, and those people who have been pushed to the forefront because of the death of a person have begun to act in secret.

Breaking out, with Liu He's ability today, it can still be done, but Liu He doesn't seem to make too much movement, after all, he is saving people under Cao Pi's nose, if he startles the snake and makes any mistakes, I am afraid that he will be entrusted with Cao Cao's deathbed.

Liu He didn't expect that Cao Cao would regard himself as a friend, thinking from Cao Cao's point of view, Liu He really couldn't think of any reason to be friends with this generation of heroes who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

But Cao Cao's words finally moved Liu He.

In Liu He's eyes, Cao Cao is an out-and-out old fox, and his ability to buy people's hearts is even better than that Uncle Liu Huang who said that he shed tears.

Liu He didn't believe his words, but there was only one thing, Liu He was convinced.

If anyone in this world has heard Cao Mengde's heart, it must be him Liu He.
