Sima Shi shouted loudly: "Someone, call the second young master." ”

So some people immediately went to call Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao was studying at the time, and when he learned that it was night, the eldest brother was still looking for him, so he asked his subordinates what was going on.

The subordinate shook his head, so Sima Zhao didn't ask anymore, and hurried to Sima Shi's study.

Sima is sitting at his desk, his face heavy.

Sima Zhao stood aside with a worried look on his face.

"Big brother, I don't know what's going on?"

Sima Shi said: "Brother, I just got the news that the soldiers we bought have confirmed that tonight is the day of my father's death. ”

Sima Zhao felt a pain in his heart, and his eyes were slightly red, but he endured his grief and asked, "What, then what should we do?" ”

Sima Shi took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect this day to come, and the eldest brother was worried, so he came to ask you."

He looked at Sima Zhao, and a hint of love and firmness flashed in his eyes.

Sima Zhao clenched his fists, he knew that he couldn't be emotional at this time, and he had to deal with it calmly.

"Big brother, or let's rob the prison."

Sima Shi shook his head with a wry smile.

How is this possible? It must be very well guarded now.

"It's definitely not going to work."

"Otherwise, the two of us brothers will go to Cao Gong and kneel in front of him until he takes back his life." Sima Zhao said again.

Sima Shi didn't know if this would work.

Because after all, Cao Pi had already given an order, and he couldn't change it rashly, but there seemed to be no better way, so they decided to give it a try.

He nodded, and the two fell silent, a tense atmosphere in the study.

They know that tonight will be a decisive night and they will have to give it their all to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

"Big brother, since that's the case, let's hurry up."

Sima Zhao urged, and Sima Shi nodded.

He just wanted to grasp a life-saving straw, and he also knew that his brother couldn't come up with any good ideas, in fact, he had thought about this idea himself.

But if he didn't involve his brother in it, he would feel miserable.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao came to Cao's Mansion in a hurry, and Cao Pi had already expected them to come, so he specially let them go.

In the hall, Cao Pi sat on his seat with a serious face. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao fell to their knees and bowed their heads and begged for mercy.

Sima Shi said: "Gong Cao, please be merciful and let my father go!" He is old and in poor health, and he can't afford to go to prison! ”

Sima Zhao immediately chimed in.

"Gong Cao, my father is loyal to Dawei and has never had two hearts, please remember his past merits and spare his life!"

Cao Pi sneered, looking at Brother Sima, his heart was full of disdain.

"Your father Sima Yi plotted against you, tried to murder Ben Hou, a great rebellion, an unforgivable crime, Sima Shi, you found that Meng Yulei is a liar, Ben Hou didn't settle accounts with you, it's good, but you are still here to plead."

Regarding this matter, Sima Shi naturally understood, he only learned about Meng Yulei's ability through the introduction of others, and he also blamed himself for doing such a stupid thing without a good investigation.

His bowels are green now, if it weren't for this incident, maybe Cao Pi wouldn't be so angry and angry with his father.

In short, everything is rushed together.

Sima Shi's heart tightened, he knew that Cao Pi had always been ruthless, but he still decided to fight for his father's life, so he kowtowed and said: "Cao Gong, my father is confused for a while, please be gracious!" ”

Cao Pi stood up and looked down at Brother Sima, his eyes revealing a hint of indifference.

"Humph! Conclusive! Sima Yi intended to rebel, and the evidence is ironclad! You two go quickly, or you will be guilty of the same sin as him." ”

After hearing this, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were heartbroken with grief, but they could only pin their hopes on Cao Pi's ability to open the net.

Sima Shi retreated.

"Cao Gong, please! Even if my father is demoted to a commoner! ”

Cao Pi looked at the two people begging in front of him, and there was a trace of pleasure in his heart.

"You don't have to intercede anymore! Sima Yi committed a rebellion, and he should have been beheaded all over the house, but thinking of his past achievements, I can open the net and only execute him! ”

When Sima Shi and Sima Zhao heard this, they were like being struck by lightning.

The two brothers slowly got up and hobbled out.

As Sima Zhao walked, he thought to himself, "Father, why are you doing this...... What can we do to save you...... Is it worth it to do this for the sake of a woman"?

Sima Zhao glanced at his brother, hoping to rob the prison.

Sima Shi immediately denied it, and said in a low voice: "Daddy also knows that we will save him, he will definitely want to leave the bloodline, and he will definitely not want us to save him, because it is impossible for us to save him." ”

Sima Zhao also sighed, and the two brothers had no choice but to go back.

After Sima Shi returned home, he not only drank sullen wine, but also wanted to anesthetize himself.

Sima Shi sat in the room, full of wine and his eyes were confused. He drank alone, his thoughts disorganized.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of Sima Shi like a ghost.

It's the Dark Guardian.

"Mr. Sima, you drank too much." The Tenhu smiled sarcastically and folded his hands behind his back.

"What are you. How did you end up here? At this moment, Sima Shi seemed to have woken up a lot.

"I'm here to see you. I heard that you have been in a bad mood lately, so let me introduce myself, I am the Secret Guard Tiger next to King Xiyu. ”

Sima Shi's face was full of anger, his eyes were like burning flames, and the anger made his body tense, as if it was about to explode at any moment.

"Damn! It turned out to be the person next to Xi Yu! Sima Shi's voice was loud and majestic, and his anger filled the air.

Tianhu stood silently to the side, his face gloomy and a sneer in his eyes.

Sima Shi glared at the Heavenly Tiger angrily, and said in a trembling voice: "The reason why my father is like this is because you are harmed. ”

Tianhu nodded and said with a smile: "You are very right. ”

Sima Shi became even more angry after hearing this, and pointed at Tianhu's nose and continued to scold.

Sima Shi's emotions became more and more excited, and his voice almost turned into a roar: "You get out of here immediately, my father, he was actually calculated by that bastard who played Yu!" ”

"The drama king is strategizing, and the organs are exhausted, all of this is a game set by him. Hum! It's all Sima Yi's old guy to blame! He was self-righteous and tried to murder Zhao Yun, but he turned out to push himself into a corner! So your father deserves it. ”

Sima Shi stood up excitedly, waving the wine glass in his hand like a trapped beast.

"How can every man be called bad for his own master?"

"There is no doubt that he plotted to kill Zhao Yun. In any case, it is an unpardonable sin. ”

"Why are you telling me this? You're here to humiliate me, aren't you? ”

In the face of Sima Shi's irritability, Tianhu was happy again.

"You're right, I'm here to humiliate you. I just want you to see the despair, because I have to report to the drama king when I go back. By the way, it's better to have a good drink, because when you wake up tomorrow, you'll receive your father's body. ”

After that, the Celestial Tiger laughed and immediately left.

Sima Shi angrily slapped the table, and then immediately lifted the table, and all the things on it fell to the ground.

Some soldiers hurriedly ran over and asked what was going on, and after learning about the situation, they immediately went to duel with the Heavenly Tiger, but where were they the opponents of the Heavenly Tiger, and in an instant, the Heavenly Tiger solved several of them.

Late at night, the tranquility of Caofu was shattered by a bustle. Sima Yi was taken to a remote place, and his fate was about to come to an end.

Cao Pi tossed and turned indoors, unable to sleep.

He was entangled in Sima Yi's execution, and he admired Sima Yi's resourcefulness and talent.

He was hesitant to go to the execution ground and witness Sima Yi's death.

In the end, Cao Pi decided not to go to the execution ground. He was afraid to face that cruel scene, afraid that he would not be able to bear Sima Yi's death.

He preferred to wait in the palace for a debriefing from the soldiers to learn the results of the execution.

After a long time, a soldier hurriedly entered Cao Pi's dormitory, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported: "Cao Gong, Sima Yi has been executed. The head has been delivered, please take a look. ”

Cao Pi's heart was filled with grief, he knew that this was an inevitable end, but he still regretted Sima Yi's death.

He nodded silently and waved for the soldier to bring the head.

The soldier carefully placed the wooden box containing Sima Yi's head in front of Cao Pi.

Cao Pi stared at the head that was once full of wisdom and ambition, and his heart was full of emotion.

Cao Pi took a deep breath, he gently closed the lid of the wooden box, and said to the soldier: "Bury him well, give him a decent funeral." ”

The soldiers took the order, and Cao Pi sat alone in front of the window, staring at the starry sky in the night.

He suddenly regretted it, he knew it was a trap, why did he jump down?

Du Yujie sat alone in the room, her mood was heavy, and a sore feeling in her heart welled up.

She had a premonition that Sima Yi might have suffered misfortune, and Cao Pi's ruthlessness made her feel extremely sad.

Du Yujie wept silently.

Du Yujie sat alone in the room, and she felt that she could no longer live. Despair and grief filled her heart, and she decided to end it all by committing suicide.

She stood in her chair, tied the string to the beam, her mind in turmoil.

"Father, I can no longer endure this painful world, and I will go with you." Du Yujie said softly.

She kicked away from her chair, her body gradually becoming heavier, and her breathing became more and more difficult.

At the last moment, her heart was filled with peace and determination.

The next day, the soldiers found Du Yujie's body. They shouted in horror and immediately reported the news to Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi heard the news, he was shocked.

He hurried to Du Yujie's room, and when he saw her, his heart was full of pain and remorse.

Cao Pi stared at Du Yujie's body, tears welling up in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, "Yujie, why am I so ruthless? I didn't want to hurt you, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. ”

He regretted his original decision, regretted that he did not perceive Du Yujie's despair in time.

Cao Pi realized that he had lost a lot of precious things.

Cao Pi closed his eyes in pain, his heart full of self-blame and sorrow.

It was because of his own willfulness that Sima Yi lost it, and Du Yujie also lost it.

"Bury her at once." Cao Pi ordered, and then returned to the room in pain, and the soldiers went to be buried.

Cao Pi ordered Du Yujie to be buried next to Sima Yi's grave as a sign of his respect and repentance for the two.

It turned out that Sima Yi had just died and had been buried by Cao Pihou.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were dressed in white filial piety clothes and walked heavily to Sima Yi's cemetery.

The white fabric of their filial clothes fluttered gently in the breeze, as if to tell endless sorrow.

The sky was overcast, as if mourning the deceased. The gray clouds hung low, casting a sad aura over the whole world.

The mountains in the distance also appear blurred, as if shrouded in sadness.

The trees around the cemetery stood quietly, and the wind blew, bringing a chill that seemed to blow away the sorrow in their hearts.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao knelt silently in front of Sima Yi's tomb.

At this moment, several soldiers came carrying Du Yujie's coffin, placed it next to the grave, and then began to dig the grave.

Sima Shi hurriedly asked, "Who is this person to be buried here?" ”

The soldiers also told the story.

When the two brothers saw Du Yujie's coffin being carried over, an indescribable emotion surged in their hearts.

Although Du Yujie is related to them by blood, she has brought them great pain and loss.

Sima Shi clenched his fists, his eyes revealing anger and pain.

He whispered to his brother, "This woman has harmed our father, and her death will not wash away her sins. ”

Sima Zhao nodded, his face was equally gloomy.

"But now that she's been punished, let it all pass," he said. ”

The brothers watched silently as Du Yujie's coffin was buried next to Sima Yi's grave.

They turned to leave, their steps a little heavy.

Although they have hatred for Du Yujie, they also feel a trace of helplessness and sadness in the face of her departure.

The news of Sima Yi and Du Yujie's death together reached Xi Yu's ears.

Tianhu had come back quickly, and then reported the news to Xi Yu.

After a while, Xi Yu came to Ouyang's room.

Xi Yu's face instantly became gloomy, and his heart was full of complicated emotions.

He stared silently into the distance, thoughts rushing to his heart.

Ouyang Linlin noticed the change in Xi Yu, and she asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xi Yu came back to his senses, his voice with a hint of hoarseness.

"Sima Yi is dead."

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly, she understood the grievances between Xi Yu and Sima Yi, but she also knew that Xi Yu had been working hard for revenge.

There was a hint of confusion in Xi Yu's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Am I too vicious?" Their deaths make me feel a little uneasy. ”

Ouyang Linlin held Xi Yu's hand and said gently: "No poison, no husband." They are your enemies, this is the way to survive, and you are not wrong. ”

Xi Yu nodded, but his heart still couldn't be calm.

"Okay, you don't have to think about anything. Let's not do anything tonight. ”

Ouyang Linlin suddenly said this, which made Xi Yu suddenly feel a little overwhelmed.

Xi Yu had some doubts in his heart, he felt that Ouyang Linlin seemed to be a little cold, and he didn't know if he had offended her.

Xi Yu asked softly, "Madam, you seem to have something on your mind today, did I do something wrong?" ”

Ouyang Linlin raised her head, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

She sighed softly and said, "Husband, tomorrow you are going to go on the expedition, I am just a little worried." So you might as well have a good rest tonight, and we won't do anything. ”

Xi Yu held Ouyang Linlin's hand, felt her nervousness, and comforted: "Don't worry, I will return safely." I am confident that I will win this expedition. ”

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, she knew that Xi Yu was a brave warrior, but war was always full of uncertainty, and her heart still couldn't be completely calm.

Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin's eyes and felt her worry and concern.

Ouyang Linlin quietly listened to Xi Yu talk about her ideals and beliefs.

He spoke of the security of the country, the expectations of the people, and the pursuit of justice.

Ouyang Linlin's eyes gradually became firm.

She understands that Xi Yu's expedition is not only for personal honor, but also for the future of the people.

Xi Yu continued: "This expedition, I will bring your blessings and expectations, and I will fight hard for our future. ”

Ouyang Linlin was moved to tears rolling in her eyes.

She held Xi Yu's hand tightly and said, "I believe in you, you will definitely return safely." I will be waiting for you here, waiting for the news of your victory. ”

Xi Yu hugged Ouyang Linlin into his arms, feeling her warmth. On this silent night, their hearts are tightly connected as they face the coming separation and challenges together.

The moon hung high in the sky, shedding a faint glow that illuminated their countenances.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin snuggled up to each other in the moonlight, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.

Xi Yu really didn't do anything.

After a while, he returned to his room.

Tomorrow, the black and white riders will go out with them.

Tonight, he couldn't sleep a little, although Ouyang Linlin asked him to go to rest early.

also couldn't sleep, as well as Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu, who led the troops this time.

They feel a great responsibility, and they have to overcome obstacles and open up the world for the show.

Although Zhuge Liang did not go on the expedition, he also couldn't sleep at night, and he felt that he was about to change the world.

When Cao Pi was destroyed, the entire Central Plains was basically owned by Xi Yu.

Some of the other minor princes are not to be feared at all.

He sat on the bed with a fan, shaking it constantly.

And this night, it seems that it is still passing very slowly.

It's really a long night, and Zhuge Liang has thoroughly realized it.

But Ouyang Linlin came to the small Buddhist hall, and then began to pray for Xi Yu, wishing him all the best this time.

Xiaohong told her not to go so late, but she said that only doing so would be a sign of piety. (End of chapter)
