Xiangyang, the state pastor's house, Cao Cao's residence.

Cao Cao sat on the Taishi chair, his brows furrowed slightly, and his already red face became even redder, and he was full of exhaustion.

Opposite him, sat Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, have you memorized the mantra I taught you?" Cao Cao sighed and asked with difficulty squeezing out a smile.

"I've memorized it, Lord Xie taught the secret method. Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao worriedly, "Lord, why don't you rest?"

He had already seen Cao Cao tap his temples for the fifth time, and he couldn't help but remind.

Cao Cao shook his head and shook his head, "It's okay, time is pressing, let's do it early." ”

"My lord, forgive my subordinates for talking too much. Now that Sima Yi is allied with us, Shi Xin does not dare to act rashly. We can develop slowly, so why fight Shi Xin in a month?"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, his eyes drifted out of the window, and he said in a barely audible voice: "I'm afraid I won't have time." ”

Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Guo Jia's heart sank, "What did the lord say?"

"Hehe, nothing. Cao Cao quickly cleaned up his mood, "Fengxiao, you have been running around and dealing with military affairs during this time, and you only now have time to cultivate Meng De's new book, which is really hard for you." Yuzhou side...... cough cough cough~"

I was about to discuss the military situation with Guo Jia, when I suddenly felt a hot reverse qi rushing from my chest to my throat, and I couldn't help coughing violently.

Under this cough, his body seemed to have touched a certain mechanism, and his complexion suddenly changed drastically, and his head was like being stabbed by a steel needle, and he broke out in a cold sweat in pain.

Cao Cao secretly screamed from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly suppressed his breath. What made him desperate was that the wheezing could be suppressed, but the tingling sensation in his head changed from a few hits at a time, and there was a tendency to get out of control.

"Huh~" Cao Cao let out a beastly roar, holding his head in both hands, and rolled to the ground.

"Lord, what's wrong with you?" Guo Jia's reaction was not unpleasant, and he hurriedly reached out to help Cao Cao up, "Hiss~ Why are your hands so hot?"

Guo Jia's face turned white, this is a harbinger of the eruption of the lord's yang energy, after going outside for so long, the problem of the lord's yang energy and head disease has not been solved.

"Bong...... Bong Hyo...... You get out of here and close the door by the way. ”

Douda's cold sweat dripped from Cao Cao's head, and he finally squeezed out this sentence, and there was already a trace of strange light in his eyes.

"Master ......"

Guo Jia was about to say something, but was suddenly rudely interrupted by Cao Cao.

"Get out, you get out of here!" The strange light in Cao Cao's eyes became more and more vigorous, from the posture of holding his head with both hands to holding his head with one hand, and with the extension of his right hand, the seven-star treasure knife was sacrificed.

At this moment, the door suddenly darkened, and a frightened voice said, "Father...... Father, what's wrong with you?"

Then there was a clang, and a steaming bowl of potion fell to the ground, and the potion and broken tiles fell to the ground.

The person who came was Cao Pi.

He saw that Cao Cao had been teaching his subordinate Meng De Xinshu for a long time, and he hadn't really rested for a day, so he instructed the kitchen to boil him a bowl of decoction to calm his nerves and nourish his brain to show his filial piety.

I didn't drink the decoction, but I saw the scene of my father's imminent seizure.

Suddenly seeing his son, Cao Cao was also stunned, his consciousness was a little sober, and he whispered in Guo Jia's ear: "Fengxiao, I can't let Zihuan see what I'm going to look like next, you take him out quickly." I...... I'm going to retreat for a few days...... During this period, no one is allowed to appear in my yard, otherwise they will be killed!"

Guo Jia saw the opportunity very quickly, quickly calmed down, and nodded. Standing up straight and blocking in front of Cao Cao, Cao Pi's direction just seemed to be missing.

was about to lift his feet and leave the room, when he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, is it Shi Xin?" The tone had dropped to the freezing point.

The root cause of the problem of yang qi and head diseases was that Cao Cao secretly learned the Xuanyang Divine Skill, but at the bottom of the cave in the Death Forest, he had every chance to cure these stubborn diseases, but because of Shi Xin's unintentional invasion, he lost this only opportunity.

At this time, Cao Cao was already kneeling on the ground, and his other hand was also empty, and he was about to sacrifice the Heavenly Sword. Half-dazed and half-sober, he heard Guo Jia's question, and hissed: "Yes, it was Shi Xin's dog ‖ mother who raised me to harm me like this!"

After getting Cao Cao's affirmation, Guo Jia only felt a wave of anger rushing from his chest to his head, and he almost fell. The always shrewd and calm mind became blank, and he didn't realize that the lord, who had always been magnificent, and praised Shi Xin, was like a shrew scolding the street, saying that Shi Xin was "raised by a dog ‖ mother". He didn't even notice that Cao Cao's eyes were shining and he was in a state of confusion.

Guo Jia didn't say much, hurried to the door, and pushed Cao Pi out. Since Cao Cao cares so much, then his next appearance must be ugly, he is afraid of scaring his son, and he is even more afraid that it will leave an indelible shadow on Cao Pi's heart.

After all, Cao Cao's image in front of his son has always been brilliant, lofty, loving and patient.

But Guo Jia was still a little slower, and the moment Cao Pi turned around, he saw Cao Cao's pulse device coming out, crazy and crazy, and raised his pulse device and slashed into the void.

It's like...... It was as if there was a man standing across from him.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi shuddered uncontrollably.

Guo Jia quickly pulled Cao Pi out of the courtyard, and suddenly there was a banging sound in Cao Cao's room, and the furniture and house seemed to be in trouble. Follow-up

In addition, Cao Cao's wheezing sound can be vaguely heard, which is not made by a normal person at all. In addition, Cao Cao also said something crazy from time to time.

"Shi Xin, Sima Yi, aren't you dead? Why are you still ghostly? Nyima, Lao Tzu fought with you today!"

"Shi Xin, I didn't kill your father, how many times has Lao Tzu said it. It's not that I'm afraid of you, but I don't want to take the blame for the real murderer!"

"Sima Yi, you long-necked thief is really uneasy and kind, I won't join you if I die...... When it comes to the point of last resort, it will also end up together!"

"Hmph, come together! Lao Tzu is different from the past, you want to beat me and wait for the next life!"

Cao Cao's voice gradually became smaller, and Guo Jia pulled Cao Pi away from his room without saying a word.

The place of the Governor's Mansion was very large, and Cao Cao had asked Yang Xiu to find a place on the edge of the Governor's Mansion as his new residence after the upgrade of the leyline smashed the garden.

Yang Xiu knows him best, and after several expansions in the past six months, this place has become quite large-scale. The most important thing is that the place is big enough, far away from the center of the state pastoral mansion, and Cao Cao has no problem smashing it as much as he wants.

Guo Jia found guards and ordered them to block all visitors for Cao Cao, and no one was allowed to go in and disturb them, including several sons.

waved back the guards, and saw Cao Pi standing in place stunned, for fear that he would be frightened, and shouted: "The eldest prince, the eldest prince, are you okay?"

Cao Pi woke up like a dream, "I, I'm fine." By the way, what's wrong with my father?"

Cao Pi usually shows filial piety and humility, and even Guo Jia is kept in the dark by him, and the entire Cao Ying knows Yang Xiu's ambition to compete for the throne.

How could such a person be frightened by such a scene?

Guo Jia smiled reluctantly, but it was more ugly than crying: "The lord is not breathing well for a while, just expel the restless true qi, and the eldest prince doesn't need to worry." ”

"Really?" Cao Pihu looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, obviously not convinced.

Guo Jia couldn't care about him, and while saying comforting words insincerely, he dragged him to the conference hall.

"Where are you going?"

Guo Jia didn't answer, and the two broke up after pulling him halfway. Cao Pi suddenly remembered what Guo Jia asked Cao Cao at the end, "It was Shi Xin who did it."

"Guo Jia, with such a big anger, he won't want to advance the war against Shi Xin, right?" Cao Pi thought as he walked, "No, I have to discuss it with Yang Dezu." ”

Cao Pi found Yang Xiu, and the two hid in a secret ‖ and discussed in a low voice.

When Yang Xiu heard Cao Cao's symptoms, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to be surprised: "It seems that the lord's illness is very serious, the eldest prince should have made plans early!"

He exchanged letters with Shi Xin on weekdays, and knew very well about Cao Cao's hidden illness, and heard that he almost couldn't hide his son, so he had a rough judgment on the severity of his hidden illness.

"So anxious to attack our army, is Cao Cao's old age approaching?" Yang Xiu thought to himself.

"What's going to be?" Cao Pi was startled, and his tone trembled slightly.

Yang Xiu looked at him meaningfully and smiled, everything was silent.

Cao Pi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "If that's the case, what should I do now?"

"The first thing you should do is to get in touch with the people in power who you think absolutely support you. In particular, generals who control the army have the right to speak only with the army. Secondly, the other two sons must not be allowed to know the news that the lord is seriously ill. Finally, send and buy all the characters you can mobilize, monitor everyone's whereabouts, and report back every day. ”

"Every day...... Is it so troublesome?" Cao Pi looked embarrassed, "My identity has a lot of inconvenience, and I'm afraid I can't handle it, can Dezu help me?"

"This ......"

Yang Xiu's heart was beating wildly, but there was a look of hard thinking on his face. After years of hard work in Cao Ying, he took advantage of his position and Shi Xin's strong support to have already inserted a line of eyes to enter Xiangyang, many of whom were elites of the Eagle Department. Now that Cao Pi is asking for his help, he can take this opportunity to arrange his manpower in openly.

But he can't be very happy, after all, this is more or less a bit of a rebellious element, and Cao Pi is not a fool, but he is afraid that he will easily see the flaws.

Sure enough, Cao Pi was fooled. The tone was a little anxious: "Dezu, I have relied on your guidance all these years, and my father has become more and more important to me, and he has completely suppressed the second and third brothers." You are my right-hand man, and your ability is much stronger than people like Xun Yu and Guo Jia. If we work out, do you think I'll do you a bad treat?"

This remark was full of emotion, but it seemed too utilitarian, as if it was said temporarily in order to win over people, and it sounded insincere.

Of course, Yang Xiu would not reveal it, he sneered in his heart, but his eyes turned red, "The kindness of the eldest prince, Yang Xiu can't repay it if he dies." ”

With Yang Xiu's consent, Cao Pi was overjoyed.

Yang Xiu reminded: "Eldest son, you have to calm down, and don't have any abnormalities in your usual daily life. We can only deploy first, the lord is alive for a day, and we have no chance for a day. After that, his eyes flashed, "But I can guarantee that as long as the lord dies, the entire Cao Ying will be ours." ”

"I'll take care of that. The corners of Cao Pi's mouth lifted.

He only has power in his mind now, and he doesn't care about his father's life and death at all.

"Ruthless and unrighteous people, it's not a pity to die!" Yang Xiu scolded secretly.
