Back then, in Huarong Dao, Liu He saw Cao Mengde, who no one in the world had the opportunity to see, perhaps it was the first and only time in Cao Cao's life that he confided what he thought to others.

Liu He didn't think that it was his own whim to save Cao Zhang, but it was just a matter of being entrusted by others to be loyal.

Tried every possible way to find an excuse for his behavior, but he still had to go out of the city first, Liu He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of someone.

The shopkeeper of the tavern may be able to do something, and at this time, he is also the only person in Xuchang City who can speak to Liu He.

When he came to the tavern, Liu He was surprised to find that it was brightly lit.

In Xuchang City, which is in this curfew, no one comes to drink, and the other shops have turned off their lights and closed their doors, but this tavern, which is not at all conspicuous during the day, has become the most eye-catching place on the street.

Walking into the tavern, the shopkeeper did not stand at the counter, but sat at a table in the middle.

The table was full of wine and food, Liu He stepped forward to take a look, and saw two pairs of chopsticks and two wine glasses on the table, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then sat down generously.

Liu He was not polite, he took the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, drank it clean without saying a word, and then put the wine glass on the table, and looked at the shopkeeper sitting opposite with a smile.

The shopkeeper calmly picked up the wine jug, filled Liu He with another glass, and said, "Aren't you afraid of poison in the wine?" ”

Liu He smiled: "Although I don't know who you are, I think I'm still a little useful to you, so you won't kill me." ”

The wine jug in the shopkeeper's hand paused in mid-air, he raised his head, stared straight at Liu He, and said, "Just based on this, you think I won't kill you?" ”

Liu He smiled even more, "Of course it's not just that, even if you want to kill me, you can't kill me." ”

After that, Liu He mentioned his true anger and forced the wine he had just drunk from his stomach again.

The shopkeeper glanced at the wine that Liu He spit on the ground, and frowned, "It's very good wine, it's spoiled like this." ”

Liu He's face sank, and he said, "You deliberately approached me and told me that, what are your intentions?" ”

The shopkeeper did not look up, but said slowly: "This tavern is dead, but the man is alive, and his legs are on you, and no one invited you in, but you walked in by yourself." ”

Liu He was silent for a long time and asked, "Are you the fourth son?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you get out of the city quickly."

Liu He took the case and said angrily: "Who are you!" If you go around in circles with me, I'll kill you with one palm! ”

The shopkeeper was not afraid at all, and still said calmly: "Mr. Su Wen Tianji is both civil and military, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. The name under it is really not enough to worry about, so don't mention it. Mr. has something to do, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I have an official document from the Prime Minister's Mansion here, Mr. should take it, and go quickly. ”

After that, the shopkeeper took out a bamboo slip from his arms and put it in front of Liu He.

Liu He stared at the person in front of him tightly, and after making sure that the other party was indeed not malicious, he picked up the official document on the table, turned around and left without saying a word, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Not long after Liu He left, the richly dressed man who had appeared before reappeared outside the tavern door.

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper said to the famous man: "The official document has been given to him, with him, presumably the third son will not come to Xuchang again, and the second son can rest assured." ”

The second son, Cao Pi, smiled faintly, saluted the shopkeeper, and then turned away.

The shopkeeper poured another glass of wine and poured himself a drink.

"Father, there is something that the child has never understood, and I ask my father to make it clear." A man in a green shirt appeared at the side of the shopkeeper and said respectfully.

The shopkeeper glanced meaningfully at the man in green shirt and said, "Do you want to ask, why do I want to help Cao Pi instead of Cao Zhi?" ”

The man in the green shirt said respectfully: "Exactly, Cao Pi is calm and sophisticated, and he is very urban, I heard that he also secretly recruited a group of talents, for this day, it can be seen that his ambitions are ambitious." On the other hand, Cao Zhi, although he is brilliant in writing, does not trespass on the governance of the country, and there are many criticisms worth criticizing in the discipline of his subordinates. If someone like Cao Zhi is allowed to take power, then the implementation of his father's plan will definitely be much smoother. ”

The shopkeeper did not answer immediately, but drank another glass of wine unhurriedly, and then slowly spoke: "Do you believe it or not, everything in this world has its own number of days?" ”

The man in the green shirt was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The ability to penetrate the heavenly machine, the child is far inferior to the father, and he can't understand the mysteries in it." ”

The shopkeeper beckoned to the man in green shirt, motioned for him to sit down, and continued: "For my father's life, there is only one person, and that is Cao Mengde." Looking through the history books, I can't find an all-rounder like him. It's a pity that a person like Cao Cao may not have one in a few hundred years, and his five sons, although none of them are mediocre, can only inherit one thing from their father. The eldest son, Cao Ang, has the ambition of the world and is the undisputed heir of the Cao family, but in the first battle of Wancheng to save Cao Cao, he took his own life. The youngest son, Cao Chong, has been smart since he was a child, and often has amazing actions, which won Cao Cao's heart, Cao Cao had the intention to pass on the Cao family foundation to him, but he didn't want Cao Chong to die before he was a minor. With that said, you should get the idea, right? ”

The face of the man in the green shirt gradually showed a look of surprise, "Could it be that the Cao family's qi is ......?"

"Yes, the Cao family's qi is the qi of seven killings," the shopkeeper nodded, "With this kind of qi, he should be the master of the world, but it will damage Yang Shou, so the person who inherits the Cao family's family business will definitely not live long, thinking that Cao Ang and Cao Chong will not be able to accept this qi number, even if Cao Cao just moved his mind and was urged by heaven's will, he took the lives of the two of them." ”

The man in the green shirt was puzzled: "Then why is Cao Pi safe and sound?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled weirdly, "Whoever said that he was fine, at least five years, at most seven years, Cao Pi will definitely die." ”

The man in the green shirt suddenly realized, and then showed an excited smile, "No wonder my father wants to support Cao Pi to take the throne in order to clear the obstacles for the future." ”

The shopkeeper's face sank, shook his head and said, "Cao Pi inherited the family business, I just assisted him from the side to make him less troublesome." But the person who can really decide everything is not me, but Cao Cao. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked to the door, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed at the night sky, "After tonight, people in future generations will probably think that Cao Cao values his second son Cao Pi, and who would have thought that Cao Cao did this all for his most beloved fourth son Cao Zhi?" ”
