Since Cao Cao asked this sentence, it proves that he has regained his sobriety.

Even if he didn't speak, it could be seen from his surprised expression and clear eyes.

Squinting at the Son of Heaven Sword at his throat, combined with his injuries and the environment he was in, Cao Cao easily guessed what had just happened. In this case, he asked the above sentence.

It turned out that Cao Cao found that he had many shortcomings after he was promoted to the ninth rank, not to mention that the head disease caused by Xuanyang Divine Skill was like the gangrene of the appendage, which intensified with the increase of cultivation, and the demons in his heart would attack at any time.

The head disease is small, but the heart demon is big. A person who is not well controlled and kills people everywhere in his own territory, the most likely to kill is his own general, military advisor, and even relatives and sons. If it is rumored that the Cao family will definitely have a bad reputation, the foundation will be ruined in an instant, how else can they be?

After staying in the state governor's mansion for a few days, Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore and kept looking for it in the direction provided by Guo Jia. Finally, they arrived near Shennongjia.

It's off the beaten track, but it's a hidden place. But he couldn't find a suitable place to suppress yang energy.

Later, by chance, he broke into the Forest of Death, and like Shi Xin, he was lost here at first. When he was desperate, he found the same stream, saved the same idea, and followed the stream to find this secret cave.

The human traces at the entrance of the cave are the ones where Cao Cao usually stays.

Although the waterhole here in the cave is not as good as Xuanbing, it does have the effect of suppressing yang energy, and Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed, so he stayed here.

At first, the demons still attacked, and the roof of the cave and the surrounding rocks were bombarded by him several times, but gradually they got better, and the number of attacks became less and less.

Without the worries of yang energy and head disease, Cao Cao went all out to attack the fortification, relying on his extraordinary talent to break through all the way, and his cultivation was promoted to the ninth rank and fifth level.

He was also familiar with the use of sword qi and sword qi, and perfected Meng De's new book and promoted it to the ninth rank.

The most gratifying thing is that he seems to have found some ways to actively suppress yang qi without going through external conditions, and if he studies it, he can forever remove the drawbacks caused by Xuanyang Divine Skill, and the head disease that has plagued him all his life will be solved.

Everything is developing in a good direction, and Cao Cao is still thinking beautifully, when he rises to the tenth rank, it will be the time for him to break through. When the time comes, the Quartet will be killed, whether it is Shi Xin or Sima Yi, they will all be wiped out.

It had always been peaceful, until today Shi Xin inadvertently broke in.

At that time, Cao Cao was practicing at a critical juncture, and suddenly the voices of Shi Xin and Cai Yan came from outside the cave, and he was suddenly in a state of confusion, and his inner demons tended to have seizures.

This place is so hidden, probably only Guo Fengxiao knows the direction, how could Shi Xin appear? or at such a sensitive time. It's like ...... As if you've been watching from the sidelines?

He was already suspicious, and began to wonder if Guo Jia had been bought by Shi Xin, who came to kill him and annex his four southern states.

The more I think about it, the more confused my thoughts become, the neuropathy is in full swing, and the yang energy bursts out again, this time the chance of healing will be lost forever, and the head disease will accompany you for a lifetime.

When this kind of thing happens, in fact, Cao Cao is a bit of a cocoon. If it weren't for his suspicious nature, he wouldn't have suspected that his only henchman, the military master, had betrayed him, and he was deeply stimulated by this.

If it were Shi Xin, he would never doubt Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others. Even Jia Xu, who has always been unfathomable and easily does not reveal his thoughts, and even Sun Ce, who once wavered between Jiangdong and himself, will not appear in his suspicions.

When Shi Xin heard Cao Cao's question, he naturally wouldn't answer easily, but only smiled mysteriously, "You guess?" It makes things even more confusing.

But Shi Xin obviously underestimated Cao Cao's finesse, and when the frightened Cai Yan appeared behind him, Cao Cao instantly ruled out his suspicion of Guo Jia.

If Guo Jia betrayed himself, Shi Xin must have known his strength, and if he secretly assassinated, how could he make a noise on it?

Even if Guo Jia didn't know where he was hiding, he would definitely remind Shi Xin of the place he needed to find, after all, he had mentioned it in detail.

Cool, secluded, quiet......

All the conditions were met here, and it was impossible for Shi Xin not to prepare in advance.

On top of that, he also brought Cai Yan with him. Cai Yan is Shi Xin's biggest weakness, although he has also been promoted to the ninth rank, but a pulse control master is obviously not worth mentioning in Cao Cao's eyes.

If Cai Yan is caught and wants to blackmail Shi Xin, or simply kills her, Shi Xin will be in a state of confusion, and there will be no way to talk about the assassination.

Inferred from all sides, Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was to blame, and the injuries on his body were very wronged.

But the matter has come to this point, it is not the time to regret it, Cao Cao has never been a person who complains.

He began to look for a way out.

Who would show up in such a place for nothing, unless they were looking for something. Since it's not looking for me, it's definitely looking for somewhere, something......

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Sect Master Shi is looking for a place. ”

"No, I'm here for tourism. ”

Shi Xin controlled the Son of Heaven Sword and handed it forward, barely a millimeter away from stabbing Cao Cao's throat. 12

Cao Cao didn't panic, he didn't speak, he just looked at Shi Xin with a smile.

Shi Xin sighed: "Anyway, what are your last words? Except for asking me not to annex the four southern states, not to destroy all your soldiers, and not to let you go, I can talk about it and listen to it, I can think about it carefully." ”

"Hahaha, if you kill me, the place you want to find will never be found. You won't be able to get out of this jungle. ”

"There are so many ways to get out, I can burn all the trees here......"

"The air here is humid, the fog is so heavy that you can't burn it off. ”

"I started cutting trees from here, a little every day, a little every day, and there was always a time when I was done......"

"Depending on the area here, you're going to cut it for a year. ”

“......”

"What? Nothing more?"

"Yes, it's just that I don't want to say it. I don't think you necessarily know the way out. ”

"Sect Master Shi underestimated me Cao Cao too much, I vouch for my life, I not only know the way out, I also know how to get to the place you are looking for. ”

"I know, too, isn't it just going down the other stream?"

When Shi Xin said this, he admitted Cao Cao's guess that he was looking for a certain place.

"Basically correct, but you're thinking too simply. Behind that stream, there were countless forks, only one leading to that place, and the rest were all detours. Stretching for dozens of miles, crisscrossing and going around, I am afraid that the Sect Master Shi will not be able to find his destination if he finds the old world. On top of that, there are countless dangerous places in the forest, countless unknown creatures, and unless you follow the right direction, you can easily be swallowed by these dangers. ”

Shi Xin pondered for a long time, and finally asked, "How do you know this direction?"

Cao Cao looked at the top of the cave leisurely, "Anyway, I just know, don't ask." ”

His scoundrel appearance was somewhat similar to Shi Xin, and Cai Yan was stunned for a moment.

When trading with smart people, you can't just look out for your own interests, a win-win situation is the best outcome. Shi Xin understood this truth, and chose to believe his words.

Cao Cao's city government and will are superior to others, if he uses the method of coercion and coercion, I am afraid that he will resist to the death, but it will have the opposite effect. And Shi Xin didn't want to treat him in this way, after all, Cao Cao had only one, and defeating him on the battlefield or in a fair competition situation was the way Shi Xin longed for the most.

"I still remember that when Zilong was in Cao Ying, he was taken care of by Cao Gong, so he was able to escape. Zilong told me afterwards that he always owed Cao Gong a favor, and if he encountered special circumstances in the future, he would still have to repay the favor. ”

Cao Cao had to nod and sighed: "Zhao Zilong is a hero in the world, he is indeed an iron-clad man, and there are many generals under my command." ”

Shi Xin bowed slightly, and deeply agreed, "Zilong is the general I rely on the most, so his favor is my favor, and I must pay it back for him." But Cao Gong tried to put me to death many times for no reason, and I can remember this account clearly. ”

"Just be honest and honest. Cao Gong is very wise, but Yan'er and I are not necessarily so bad when they join forces. Kong Ming, Wen He, Gong Jin and others under my command are even more outstanding for a while, comparable to Zhang Liang. After I kill you, I will call them again, and I will be able to find a way out. ”

"Before killing you, I can inject Xuanyang True Qi into your body, and your head disease will attack, that kind of life is worse than death, I guess Cao Gong doesn't want to feel it. ”

Cao Cao's face turned pale, but he still looked uncompromising, he hadn't heard Shi Xin's last thoughts.

"Why don't we make a deal?"

"What deal?"

"I'll let you go, safely, without losing a hair. You give me some pointers - I believe that with the status of Cao Gong, he will not deliberately point me to a dark road. Then, I hope that Cao Gong will not start a war against my territory within a month. If Cao Gong agrees, our grievances and Zilong's promise to you will be written off. Wouldn't it be nice to encounter them on the battlefield in the future and do a big job with open swords and guns?"

Cao Cao squinted at Shi Xin and sneered: "Sect Master Shi's wishful thinking is really loud, so many conditions are added together, you have taken advantage of it." ”

"No way, who called Cao Gong's life precious?"

Cao Cao pondered the gains and losses, and quickly made a decision, "Okay!"

But I sneered in my heart, you want to die yourself, but you can't blame me.

Shi Xin put away the Sword of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao swam out of the water, and the palms of the two slapped loudly in the air.

saw that this big man in his previous life was covered in water and in an embarrassed shape. Shi Xin couldn't help but think that the reason why he became like this was entirely because he secretly practiced the Xuanyang Divine Skill, and he sighed in his heart.

When he was young, he was greedy for a while, and he caused trouble for a lifetime, and the torture he suffered was enough.

Seeing Shi Xin's sympathetic eyes, Cao Cao sneered, "Sect Master Shi is really merciful, but I Cao Cao doesn't need to be pitied!"

Shi Xin said: "If I have a way to relieve Cao Gong's yang qi problem forever, the head disease will not attack, but at the same time, it will greatly reduce Cao Gong's strength, probably ...... Probably let your cultivation fall back to the seventh level. Would Gong Cao be willing to hear it?"
