Chapter 316: Condolences at the door
In Cao Cao's house, there is more than mourning, in the main hall, there is a mourning hall, the white flag and canvas are all set up, and everyone around is hiding their faces, and Cao Cao is wearing mourning clothes, his eyes are red!
At that time, Gao Fei also came to the Prime Minister's mansion, and he couldn't say anything, but said, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng mourns, first the eldest son died in the war, and then the youngest son died in Shekou, fortunately, Lord Cao has enough heirs, otherwise, it will really be ......."
Cao Zhang, dressed in white, saw Gao Fei coming, so he approached Gao Fei and shouted angrily in a low voice, "Why is Gao Fei coming? Is it just to see my Cao family's jokes? ”。
Gao Fei was dumbfounded, "The second son is too worried, Gao Fei doesn't mean this!" ”。
Cao Zhangming didn't say anything on his face, in fact, the relationship between Gao Fei and the Cao family, Cao Zhang also knew very well, and the death of his eldest brother must be Gao Fei's ghost, so this time the death of the fifth brother Cao Chong, Cao Zhang should also count it on Gao Fei's head!
At that time, when he found out that Cao Chong was killed, Cao Zhang said to his father Cao Cao, "In the north, there are pit vipers as a disaster, although it is the end of summer at this moment, it is the mating season for snakes, and snakes are active, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there will definitely be no trespassing vipers who can break into the fifth brother's room, so this matter is strange, someone must harm my fifth brother!" ”。
At that time, Cao Cao hugged Cao Chong's corpse with both hands, and said with tears on his face, "I have already observed, it is indeed the wild viper that trespassed into Cangshu's room, causing this disaster to happen, but God is punished by me Cao Cao, and the order is to go down, martial law in the house, and prepare for the aftermath of the young son!" ”。
Although Cao Zhang is a reckless man and is used to galloping in the army, but at this time, the matter of the fifth brother Cao Chong also realized that someone was doing it, and his father was silent, which made Cao Zhang puzzled, and when Cao Zhang wanted to say something, Cao Cao said, "This matter should not be mentioned again!" ”。
Cao Cao is not a reckless and stupid person, Cao Chong's death is indeed strange, can he be a capable minister in the world and a traitor in troubled times? And the reason why Cao Cao wants to settle things is because he has already lost two sons, and he doesn't want to lose the third!
Cao Zhang came out angrily, Cao Pi came to the side of his father and the fifth brother, burst into tears, and said intermittently, "How can there be a snake in the house, and it is also a highly poisonous viper ......", Cao Pi swept his eyes, and said, "Father, please see, there is a potted plant of vermilion orchid by the window, Ziheng knows that the viper likes the smell of vermilion the most, is it not that this pot of vermilion has caused a big disaster to the fifth brother?" ”。
Cao Cao looked in the direction pointed by Cao Pi, and sure enough, there was a pot of blooming vermilion orchids, and Cao Cao knew that vermilion flowers could attract vipers, but now, Cao Cao really didn't have the strength to pay attention to that pot of vermilion orchids!
Cao Pi saw that his father was indifferent, so he said tentatively, "How can there be a potted plant like a vermilion orchid in the fifth brother's room?" Cao Pi suddenly stopped, but in a "hey" tone, he said, "Ziheng saw the fourth brother fiddling with a pot of vermilion orchids half a month ago, presumably the fourth brother gave the vermilion orchid to the fifth brother, causing this disaster!" ”。
Cao Cao didn't listen to Cao Pi's words, but asked Cao Pi instead, "Are you afraid of snakes?" ”。
When Cao Pi heard this, he was stunned, and said, "Ziheng is timid by nature, don't say it's a long worm and a big snake, even hamsters and mice are afraid, why does my father ask this?" ”。
Cao Cao said sharply, "My Cao family's disciple, how can you be guts, you go and cut the viper's corpse into seven or eight pieces, so as to avenge Cangshu!" ”。
Cao Pi took the long knife thrown down by his second brother Cao Zhang just now, walked to the side of the snake corpse tremblingly, held the knife with both hands, and cut it hard, in fact, Cao Pi was very bold, and the reason why he wanted to cover up this fact in front of his father was that in addition to pretending to be weak, he also had to cover up his own suspicion!
Cao Pi made a fear of snakes, but deceived everyone around him, but he couldn't hide Cao Cao's sharp eyes, he may not know the son in front of him, but maybe this Cao Pi is the person who can inherit his great cause the most!
Cao Pi deliberately transferred the suspicion of killing Cao Chong to Cao Zhi's body, although what he said just now was careless, but Cao Pi had been planning for a long time, and Cao Pi saw that his father was not gullible, so he didn't say anything more, because he knew his father, and if he was a little careless, he would be seen through!
On the vertical day, Cao Cao's mansion was mourned, Gao Fei and other ministers all came to mourn, and Cao Cao didn't want to be so public, but the right prime minister Cao Cao lost his son, who dared not come!
After Cao Zhang's anger at Gao Fei, Cao Cao showed grief on his face, and said to Gao Fei, "Don't worry about the rudeness of dogs!" ”。
In fact, Gao Fei's words just now were obviously to ridicule Cao Cao, nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Cao Cao's disaster is Gao Fei's luck, at this moment, how can Gao Fei not make a joke, but this Cao Cao's tolerance is very much, and he is indifferent to Gao Fei's words!
The eldest son Cao Ang and the young son Cao Chong, these two are all loved by Cao Cao, and they don't want to die one after the other, but it is a bit of providence to play tricks on Cao Cao, and Gao Fei knows that this is a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster!
At that time, Gao Fei was among the crowd and saw a young man dressed in sackcloth, estimated to be sixteen or seventeen years old, thin and thin, his eyes flashing and scheming, and Gao Fei knew that his person was Cao Cao's third son, Cao Pi Cao Ziheng!
Gao Fei thought secretly, "At a young age, you have such a scheming to kill people with vipers without revealing anything, if you stay in power, then you can still get it!" Gao Fei looked at that Cao Pi carefully, there is such a strong enemy in the future, Gao Fei can't help but take countermeasures early!
At that time, Gao Fei approached Cao Pi's side, and when he saw no one, he whispered to Cao Pi, "I can kill my brother today, and I can kill my father tomorrow, I can't imagine that Ziheng is really a young hero!" ”。
That Cao Pi was facing away from Gao Fei, when he heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly looked back, and when he saw Gao Fei next to him, he had a look of panic, "I don't know what Prime Minister Zuo said, why can't Ziheng understand anything?" At this time, Gao Fei attached himself to Cao Pi's ear and said, "Your means are unknown to others, but you can't hide my Gao Fei's eyes, if you don't recruit from the truth, I'm afraid that the name of your brother will spread soon!" ”。
Cao Pi was sixteen or seventeen years old, and after a moment of trembling in his body, he calmed down and replied, "Presumably Prime Minister Zuo's words, no one will believe it!" ”。
Gao Fei smiled, "Does Ziheng Gongzi want to make this bet?" ”。
Cao Pi's expression did not change, "It seems that Master Gao has a request for Ziheng, but I don't know what I, the third son of Cao Mansion, can do?" ”。
Gao Fei stopped laughing and said, "For the time being, Gao Fei has nothing to ask for the third prince, but please remember me Gao Fei, but if there is any difficulty, you can come to Jizhou to find me, Gao Fei will help!" ”。
Cao Pi smiled and said, "I am the third son of Cao Mansion, what can I ask you to do to your high flying mansion?" ”。
Gao Fei didn't care, "But with that, please remember the third son!" After finishing speaking, Gao Fei turned around and went elsewhere, but Cao Pi was suspicious, "My plan is not leaky, and it will be recognized by this outsider, who is this Gao Fei?" ”。
In fact, the reason why Gao Fei will see through Cao Pi's tricks is not because he has any sharp eyes and can see through this Cao Pi's flaws at a glance, it is really Gao Fei's good history, because Cao Pi's death, in the eyes of historians, is also a headless public case, each with its own rhetoric, nothing more than an accident and his killing, and the matter has come to this, Gao Fei as a witness, it is obviously Cao Pi He is more likely to kill, so Gao Fei is just an exaggerated temptation to test Cao Pi, I don't want to say it!
Cao Pi is very black-bellied, which Gao Fei appreciates very much, because as long as this Cao Pi is there, Cao Cao's other two sons will also die inexplicably, but it saves Gao Fei to do it, so strategically speaking, this Cao Pi is really not Gao Fei's enemy, at least not in this period of history in the early Three Kingdoms, so Gao Fei said what he just said, the purpose is to give Cao Pi a reassurance, maybe there will really be a moment when these two people join hands with each other!
Cao Pi saw that Gao Fei had left, so he pretended to be a demeanor, squeezed out a few tears from his eyes, and then made a sad appearance, at that time Xun Yu paid attention to the third son Cao Pi for a long time, and then found something strange, Xun Yu originally wanted to report to the lord Cao Cao immediately, but then thought about it, "This is the lord's family matter, it is better to touch less!" Just when Xun Yu hesitated, there was a commotion outside the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Xun Yu hurriedly walked out, and when he saw the prime minister's mansion, it was the second son who was fighting with someone!
At that time, Gao Fei was about to leave his body and return to Jizhou, but he suddenly chased a person behind him, as if he was ready to kill, and next to Gao Fei was Zhao Yun's guard, even if he used the gentian gun to block, it just blocked a long knife, and the tip of the knife was just facing Gao Fei's back heart!
Gao Fei didn't need to look back to know who the sneak attack was, except for Cao Zhang, who had a quarrel in the mansion just now, who could be so bold!
Zhao Yun shouted angrily, "Second son, what is this doing, Hugh wants to let Zhao Yun make a move?" ”。
Cao Zhang withdrew the blade, swept over, dodged the tip of Zhao Yun's gun, beckoned to Gao Fei's body, and shouted to Zhao Yun, "Where is there so much nonsense, can't you see that Lao Tzu wants to kill someone?" ”。
Gao Fei turned back abruptly and smiled very much, "If the second son thinks that he can kill me Gao Fei with the power of one person, he will inevitably look down on himself!" Before the words could be spoken, Gao Fei punched out, just against Cao Zhang's blade, flesh and bone against the long knife, Gao Fei did not hesitate for a moment, but in an instant, the blade in Cao Zhang's hand shattered and fell to the ground, and Cao Zhang's person also leaned back, just in front of a group of people!
Seeing this situation, Xun Yu walked quickly in front of Cao Zhang, and asked, "Is the second son okay?" ”。
Cao Zhang restrained his anger and wanted to strike again, but was stopped by Xun Yu, "Second son? ”。
Gao Fei turned around and wanted to go in the direction of Jizhou, but shouted with his back to Cao Zhang, "It's easy to kill people, it's hard to steal the country, the second son is so reckless, but it's not as good as your third brother Cao Ziheng!" ”。
