In Cao Shuo's room, Nanlou sat across from him.

Holding a cup of tea and taking a sip, Cao Shuo put down the teacup and asked Nanlou: "The king came to see me, did the assassin have eyebrows?" ”

"We Wuhuan people are incompetent, and we really can't find out who the assassins are." Nanlou said: "This time I came, just to ask the prince to raise his noble hand and leave a way for the Wuhuan people to live." ”

"I don't understand what the king says." Cao Shuo grinned: "Why do you want me to leave a way for the Wuhuan people to live?" ”

"If this kind of thing happens, I'm afraid the conditions that Childe prerequisites are not enough." Nanlou said: "If the son wants too much, Wuhuan really can't give ......"

"You can really see it." Cao Shuo took out a list: "This is the compensation list that Wuhuan can't find the murderer, and I will ask the king to look at it." ”

When he took the list, Nanlou's hands were trembling.

After reading the list, he swallowed his saliva and said to Cao Shuo: "The things that Gongzi wanted, the horses have multiplied tenfold, and the others have also doubled......"

"Originally, I was going to ask you Wuhuan for this." Cao Shuo said: "Forget it, the cows, sheep and women are the same as before, but I need more horses." ”

Hearing that Cao Shuoniu and Yang were in accordance with the precedent, Nanlou breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked Cao Shuo: "Dare to ask Gongzi, how many horses do you want?" ”

"What do you think of 50,000 horses?" Cao Shuo asked.

"50,000 horses......" Nanlou said with a bitter face: "There are really not so many ......"

"There were more than 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry who fought with our army before." Cao Shuo said: "Why is there no horse here? ”

Nanlou said with a bitter face: "Gongzi Mingjian, there are so many horses in the Wuhuan cavalry, but the Wuhuan people have grown up on horseback since they were children, so they can't let them hand over all the horses?" Please also ask the son to leave a way for the Wuhuan people to live! ”

mentioned to Cao Shuo one after another and asked him to leave a way for the Wuhuan people to live, and Nanlou's expression was very sad.

Cao Shuo could also see that he had guessed the origin of the assassins.

If you continue to make things difficult and make the Wuhuan people anxious, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

Cao Shuo asked Nanlou, "How many horses does the king think he can give us?" ”

"Twenty thousand." Nanlou swallowed and hesitated to say the number.

stared at the difficult building for a long time, and Cao Shuo didn't speak.

Cao Shuo was uncomfortable looking at him, and Nanlou asked, "Does Childe think it's too little?" ”

"What does the king think?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

"But we Wuhuan people can only make up so many horses......" Nan Lou said: "No matter how much there is, there is really no ......"

"Okay." Cao Shuo said magnanimously: "The king has said so, of course I can't push it anymore, but you have to ensure that every horse given to our Cao family is a good horse." We don't want old horses. ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Nan Lou said: "The horses we put together must be in the prime of life, and the Cao family can use these horses to train a strong army." ”

Picking up the teacup and taking another sip, Cao Shuo said: "Of course I believe in the sincerity of the king, but when will I be able to get these people and livestock?" ”

"I'll have someone prepare it tomorrow." Nanlou said: "In less than ten days, preparations must be made." ”

Sending off the difficult building, Cao Shuo got up and walked to Cao Cao's residence.

There were still dozens of steps away from Cao Cao's residence, and he saw Xu Chu coming head-on.

"Childe will go later." Stopping Cao Shuo, Xu Chu said: "The second son is in Cao Gongfang. ”

"Zihuan is here?" Cao Shuo asked, "Did my father say anything?" ”

"There are Cao Gong and the second son in the room, and I can't hear anything outside the door." Xu Chu whispered to Cao Shuo and asked, "Childe, did you say that the second son is going to be unlucky this time?" ”

"Why does Brother Zhongkang ask that?" Cao Shuo asked him in feigned surprise.

"If Gong Cao is not very angry, he will definitely shout and reprimand the second son." Xu Chu said: "Today is surprisingly quiet, I feel uncomfortable outside. ”

"It's not necessarily unlucky." Cao Shuo said: "I don't think he can get much benefit recently." ”

"I think the second son really doesn't know much about current affairs." Xu Chu said: "Gong Cao loves his son, and we all know it. He is just the second son of the Cao family, and he still wants to compete with his son. ”

"Even Brother Zhongkang can see it?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"How many people in the entire Cao family didn't see it?" Xu Chu said: "The second son's work is too obvious, the previous son was assassinated......

Speaking of this, Xu Chu closed his mouth and didn't say any more.

Cao Shuo gently patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Zhongkang, don't say some things even if you can't see them, it's not good for yourself to say too much." ”

"Thank you Childe for reminding me, I won't talk nonsense in the future." Xu Chu agreed.

After waiting for a while, Cao Pi walked out of the room.

Seeing his face, Cao Shuo knew that he must have been severely reprimanded by Cao Cao.

And this time Cao Cao didn't give him a chance to turn over at all.

As a father, Cao Cao certainly didn't want his sons to fight each other.

No matter which son was killed in the fight, it was difficult for Cao Cao to accept.

When he went out to see Cao Shuo, Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and then made a big salute and greeted Cao Shuo: "I've seen the eldest brother." ”

"Did Zihuan come to greet his father?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Cao Pi.

Cao Pi lowered his head and did not respond.

Cao Shuo continued: "Zihuan must have been shocked earlier, otherwise as the son of the Cao family, how could he be scared to pee?" This matter must not be spread, otherwise Zihuan will not be able to save face in the future. ”

Looking down and listening to what Cao Shuo said, Cao Pi's teeth itched with hatred.

Originally, he was scared to pee, but only a few people such as Cao Shuo and Wu Zhen knew.

But Cao Shuo said it in front of Xu Chu.

In addition to Xu Chu, there were actually a few guards nearby.

There are more and more people who know about this matter, and I am afraid that he will not be able to cover it if he wants to cover it in the future.

"The eldest brother still wants to see his father, so I will retire first." Knowing that the longer he stood here, the worse he would be humiliated by Cao Shuo, Cao Pi hurriedly retired.

"Go ahead." Cao Shuo waved his hand, and didn't forget to tell him: "Be calm when you encounter things in the future, don't be scared of the big fart, it's not just your face that you will lose when you spread it." ”

Cao Pi bowed to Cao Shuo and ran away.

Looking at his back, Xu Chu whispered to Cao Shuo and asked, "Childe, the second son is really scared to pee?" ”

"When have I ever lied?" Cao Shuo said: "Brother Zhongkang, I have to remind you that in addition to talking to the guards close to you about this matter, you must not go outside and talk nonsense. ”

"I know." Xu Chu agreed, and asked Cao Shuo: "Do you want me to go and talk to Cao Gong, just say that the son is here?" ”
