The news of Yuan Shao's death reached Xu Du.

Cao Cao sat in the study, and Guo Jia and Xun You sat on either side of him in front of him.

"Yuan Benchu is finally dead." Cao Cao said: "Last time I went back to Shouchun, I left him a bottle of poison when I left, I thought he wouldn't use it, but I didn't expect that after a year, he actually used it." ”

"The eldest son wanted to protect Yuan Shao, but Cao Gong killed him." Xun You said: "And the idea is still from Feng Xiao, with the ability of the fire dance under the command of the eldest son, it is impossible not to find out." ”

"You don't need fire dance to find out." Guo Jia smiled and said, "But what can you do if you find out?" Can the eldest son still question Cao Gong because of this matter? ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "I always feel that it doesn't matter if Yuan Shao dies or not. ”

"Of course it is." Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao is not dead, the people of Hebei still have thoughts, and they have always come to Hebei to produce righteous people." They are not afraid of death, if Yuan Shao is given a chance, he will raise his arms in the future, and there may still be people in Hebei who will gather under his banner. ”

"With the eldest son here, I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't have that chance." Xun You said: "This time, Cao Gong and Feng Xiao really gave the eldest son a problem. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand: "It's not a problem for Zirong. Every time he comes to Xudu, he will always cause me some trouble, and I will also cause some trouble for him, he should not say anything. ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia didn't care too much about Yuan Shao's death, thinking that Cao Shuo would definitely not be anything.

But Xun You didn't feel it that way.

Yuan Shao is dead, and the Cao family is indeed more at ease, but Cao Shuo is not easy to explain to the outside world this time.

The trouble Cao Cao caused him, even if all the troubles Cao Shuo caused before were added up, it couldn't be worth this time.

After appeasing Yuan Fang for a long time, and watching her eat some porridge with her own eyes, Cao Shuo left her residence.

Just as he was about to go to the study to think about how to lay down Izumo, Guo Xin walked over from the opposite side.

"Husband." With a bow, Guo Xin said: "The sisters want to invite their husbands to go to the Fire Dance Camp, and there are some important things that are not suitable to talk about at home. ”

"Is it Yuan Gong's business?" Cao Shuo asked.

Guo Xin responded: "Exactly." ”

"Go to Camp Fire Dance." Cao Shuo waved his hand.

Accompanying Cao Shuo to the outer courtyard, Guo Xin asked in a low voice, "I wonder if my husband found out who gave Yuan Gong the poison?" ”

"Did you find out?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's too easy to check, I'm a little unsure." "All the evidence points to ......"

Cao Shuo waved his hand to stop her: "Let's talk about it when we get to the Fire Dance Camp." ”

Leaving the house, Cao Shuo and Guo Xin were escorted by Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao, and a group of guards and Huo Wu to the Fire Dance camp.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, Jia Pei, Wang Yan, and Qingwu greeted them.

"Husband!" The three ladies greeted in unison.

"Let's go inside." Cao Shuo waved his hand.

Walking into the fire dance camp and coming to Guo Xin's room, Cao Shuo sat down and asked the ladies, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

"I already told my husband just now that the poison that Yuan Gong took was secretly given to him by someone." Guo Xin said: "This person is ......"

"Isn't it father?" Cao Shuo interrupted him and asked lightly.

"Husband already knows?" Jia Pei asked in surprise: "Now that you know, what are your husband's plans?" ”

"What can you do?" Cao Shuo said: "My father wants to kill my father-in-law, although I will try my best to stop it, but I can't do anything about things that I can't stop." After all, his father-in-law was once a Hebei hero, and it is reasonable for his father to think that he is a threat to his life. ”

"But if Gong Cao does this, won't he put his husband in a dilemma?" Wang Yan said: "Could it be that Cheng Fujun still wants to question Cao Gong for Yuan Gong?" ”

"I already know who did it, so what if I run to ask it?" Cao Shuo said: "My father doesn't need to hide it at all, he directly admits it, and then asks me what I plan, how else can I answer?" Turning against your father? Reverse out of the Cao family? How can it be! ”

"That's why I said that my husband was in a dilemma." Guo Xin said: "When Cao Gong did this, didn't he take care of his husband at all? ”

"Father did it on purpose." Cao Shuo said: "Give poison to your father-in-law, as long as your father-in-law really eats it, he will kill two birds with one stone." ”

Guo Xin and Jia Pei immediately understood what Cao Shuo meant.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both sighed softly.

Wang Yan and Qingwu didn't understand why Cao Shuo said this.

Wang Yan asked, "Why did the husband say that?" Could it be that Cao Gong deliberately embarrassed his husband? ”

"Harness." Cao Shuo said: "It's nothing more than a control." Although I am the son of the Cao family, I have also been canonized as the king of Huainan, and the Cao family is likely to give it to me logically in the future. But after all, I am not the head of the Cao family at present, and it is my father who is really in charge. For someone like me who supports the army and doesn't obey orders very much, how can my father not give me a dismount? ”

"Husband still doesn't obey orders?" Jia Pei pursed his lips and said: "Guo Yuan's battle asked Cao Gong to send others to fight, and it wasn't that Fujun broke the Hun cavalry, so that the Xiliang army had a chance to break Guo Yuan?" Fujun went to Hetao again, and subdued and frightened the Huns, not to mention that within thirty or twenty years, the Huns would not enter the Central Plains again......"

At this point, Jape didn't go on.

A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Cao Shuo's mouth, and he asked Jia Pei, "Figured it out?" ”

"Got it!" Jia Pei sighed and said, "Husband exposed his strength too early, I'm afraid that Cao Gong will stare at you in the future." ”

"I don't understand." Wang Yan said: "The husband is also a member of the Cao family, and he has been fighting for the Cao family in the past few years, why does Cao Gong still treat him like this?" ”

"Speaking of which, isn't it because I'm too strong?" Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "Father has no malicious intent, he just wants to use this incident to tell me that even if I want to protect Yuan Gong, if he really wants to kill, people will die under my nose." ”

"That is to say, if it is not protected by Gongzi, whether Yuan Gong is dead or alive, Cao Gong doesn't care?" Qingwu asked in surprise.

"If you care, you definitely care." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that I won't make such a big determination to kill him." ”

His eyes wandered over the faces of the four ladies, and Cao Shuo said, "If Yuan Fang asks you who gave poison to your father-in-law, you can't say it anyway, and you can't run away from her, just tell her that you have sent Fire Dance to investigate." ”

"Don't worry, husband." Guo Xin said: "It is impossible for the eldest lady to know who secretly gave Cao Gong poison in her life, it really can't work, let's say that the person who gave the poison has been killed by Huo Wu, and there is no one else behind the scenes, but the poison that Yuan Gong begged you to send him." ”

"This method is good!" Cao Shuo said: "According to this prevarication, Yuan Fang will definitely believe it, but you have to unify your voice." ”
