Sima Shi suddenly had an opportunity to quibble, and he hurriedly said: "Gong Cao, I didn't want to betray you, but I thought that the letter of surrender was humiliating you, so I didn't want you to see it, so I moved my hands and feet." ”

There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in his tone, as if he was forced to do such a thing.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was very tense.

Yao Maoyu's eyes flashed with anger.

Yao Maoyu listened to Sima Shi's words, and the anger in his heart was even worse, and he said loudly: "Do you think that this will cover up your crime? What you have done has betrayed the king, what face do you have to quibble here! ”

Sima Shi's face became even paler, and he knew that he could no longer deny it.

"Cao Pi, I'll talk about this matter later, you can read the persuasion book first." Qin Feng Dao.

Although the first letter of persuasion had been destroyed by Sima Shi, Xi Yu knew what he had written, so he wrote another one.

Qin Feng handed the letter of persuasion to Cao Pi, Cao Pi slowly took it, unfolded the letterhead, and saw Xi Yu's familiar handwriting.

Qin Feng looked at Cao Pi nervously, only to see that Cao Pi's face gradually became solemn, and his fingers gently rubbed on the letterhead, as if he was feeling the emotions revealed between the lines of the words.

Cao Pi looked at the letter quietly and didn't say a word, but his eyes revealed his inner struggle.

Xi Yu spoke earnestly in the letter, expressing his admiration for himself and his analysis of the general trend of the world, and the words were full of sincerity.

However, thinking that this letter was written by Xi Yu to persuade him to surrender, Cao Pi's heart swelled with anger again.

He felt that this was an insult to himself and a challenge to his ambition and dignity.

Cao Pi clutched the letter tightly, his fingers slightly white from excessive exertion. His eyes were gloomy and flashing with rage, as if he wanted to burn the letter to ashes.

Qin Feng said that whether Cao Pi was willing or unwilling, this letter should always be seen by Cao Pi, but Sima Shi cut off the beard halfway and wrote a letter in the name of Cao Pi, and the guilt could not be escaped.

Qin Feng's words echoed in the air, with a firm and fair tone.

"This is a letter made by the Sima family, written in the name of Cao Pi." Qin Feng sneered, and then took out a letter from his cuff.

Cao Pi's brows furrowed slightly, he took the letter from Sima Zhao handed by Qin Feng, and carefully studied the handwriting on the envelope.

Qin Feng stood quietly aside.

Cao Pi slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the stationery. His eyes fell intently on the letter paper, reading Sima Zhao's words word by word.

There was silence in the room, save for the sound of Cao Pi flipping the letter paper and the slight sound of breathing. Every moment is full of suspense and makes people take their breath away.

"Bastard? How could Ben Hou do such a thing? Cao Pi was particularly angry.

Cao Pi's face was full of anger, he clutched the collar of Sima Shi's clothes, and his eyes revealed anger and disappointment. The anger in his heart burned so fiercely that it threatened to set the room on fire.

"You're ruining my reputation!" Cao Pi's voice was filled with irrepressible anger, and he felt that his reputation had been greatly insulted, "It is absolutely impossible for me to write such a letter!" ”

Sima Shi's face turned pale.

A trace of pain flashed in Cao Pi's eyes, and his heart was full of contradictions and disappointments. Originally, he planned to treat the Sima family well, but he didn't expect Sima Shi to do such a thing, which made him feel sad and disappointed.

"Sima Yi was killed by me, and I originally planned to treat the Sima family well in the future. But you did such a thing! There was endless sadness and disappointment in his voice.

Sima Shi sighed and closed his eyes.

"I've made a big mistake, please punish Gong Cao."

Cao Pi's face was gloomy and frightening, and his eyes were full of determination.

"Master Sima, your behavior is intolerable to me!" His voice was cold and stern, "I must dispose of you!" ”

Qin Feng said: "Slow, although this matter is led by Sima Shi, this letter cannot be written by Sima Shi, in my opinion, it should be his younger brother Sima Zhao." ”

Sima Shi's face became even paler, and there was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"No, Cao Gong, this letter is indeed written by me, and it has nothing to do with my brother! I would like to vouch for my personality! ”

Cao Pi's eyes became more and more aggressive, and he stared at Sima Shi tightly, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"Do you really want to deny it to the end? Master Sima, I'm not so easy to fool! "Qin Feng said.

Sima Shi straightened up and did not flinch.

The earth met Cao Pi's gaze.

"Cao Gong, don't listen to his nonsense, everything I say is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. If Cao Gong doesn't believe me, I have nothing to say. He clearly wanted to deliberately choreograph. ”

Cao Pi was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed tightly at Qin Feng.

"Do you have conclusive evidence that Sima Zhao did it?"

Of course, Cao Pi knew that Sima Shi also had a younger brother named Sima Zhao, but he was still too young, how could he do such a thing?

Qin Feng said: "There is no conclusive evidence yet, but the king of drama believes that with Sima Zhao's intelligence and means, it is not impossible to do such a thing." ”

A trace of doubt surged in Cao Pi's heart.

Sima Shi suddenly laughed, although the smile was so desolate.

"What are you talking nonsense about? King Xi Yu thinks what is what you are, you are really a loyal lackey. ”

Qin Feng immediately kicked him.

"It's a great honor for me to be the king's dog, what can you do?"

Cao Pi also felt that Qin Feng's statement was a bit exaggerated.

And Yao Maoyu has always wanted to speak, but after all, his identity is very humble, and it is difficult to say.

Qin Feng saw it, so he asked, "Do you have anything to say to Cao Pi?" ”

Yao Maoyu nodded, he did have something to say.

Although Qin Feng could call Cao Pi by his name, Cao Pi was also a big prince, and he didn't dare to call him directly.

But when he was asked to call Cao Gong, he also felt very disgusted, so he simply didn't call him anything.

"I do have something to say, who is pretending to be a fake Cao Pi, who else has done this matter except Sima Shi, and all these people must be wiped out."

When Sima Shi heard this, sweat flowed from his forehead, and he stared at him fiercely.

"Why are you so desperate? I've confessed that I did it. ”

"It's a joke, if you admit it, will it be okay?"

And Cao Pi sat down and told none of them to speak, he was thinking about what to do.

The other generals sat around in silence, each thinking about how to deal with the matter. Their eyes reveal doubts and worries, as if weighing the possible consequences.

Sima Shi's face was as pale as paper, and he defended himself with a trembling voice: "Cao Gong, this letter is indeed written by me, and it has nothing to do with my brother Sima Zhao!" ”

Cao Piyue didn't speak, which made Sima Shi feel even more bottomless in his heart.

Cao Pi fell into deep thought, and the anger in his heart was gradually suppressed by reason.

He understood that Qin Feng's words were not unreasonable, and that treating Sima Shi like this in front of everyone today was equivalent to being commanded by Qin Feng.

He didn't want to lose face, but he didn't know how to deal with it properly.

At this time, Cao Pi noticed the expressions of the generals, and he realized that he had to be cautious.

He thought to himself: "I can't make people feel that I am being influenced by Qin Feng's decision-making. But Sima Shi is my side after all, and I can't deal with him easily. ”

Qingfeng sneered: "Is it difficult to make a decision?" ”

Cao Pi immediately put his hand on his forehead.

"I don't know what's going on, Ben Hou suddenly had a headache, maybe he was infected with the cold."

Of course, everyone present understood that he was pretending to be confused.

Sima Shi was stunned for a moment, does Cao Pi have to face himself?

After his doubts, he quickly understood his situation.

Yes, even if Cao Pi hates himself to the core, but in front of outsiders, he represents the people of Luoyang and Cao Wei.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.

Therefore, it is impossible for Cao Pi to dispose of himself easily.

When he thought about it, he suddenly felt his waist straighten.

Then he looked at Yao Maoyu with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

Yao Maoyu glared at him, and finally looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng knew that his guess was correct.

Cao Pi immediately said: "You guys have come so far, let's arrange a room for you to rest and drink tea first." ”

Then, he shouted, "Someone." ”

A few people hurried over, and Cao Pi ordered a few people to lead Yao Maoyu and the others to the guest room.

As for Sima Shi, he must be imprisoned first.

Soon, Qin Feng and Yao Maoyu were brought to the guest room.

And a lot of people also brought some snacks for them to eat.

Yao Maoyu was very angry and said to Qin Feng: "Haven't you always been brave? When Cao Pi decided to bring us into the guest room. Why don't you object to it at all? ”

Qin Feng asked the other party to calm down.

Yao Maoyu was anxious, and his voice resounded throughout the room, full of anxiety and anger.

"How can this matter be left like this? Cao Pi is obviously biased in favor of the Sima family! ”

Qin Feng looked at him helplessly and shook his head.

"Don't be impatient. The king has already made arrangements. ”

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Yao Maoyu was stunned.

"What else does the king have in charge? Did he already have a plan to deal with it? ”

Qin Feng lowered his voice and said: "The other secret guard sent by the king will definitely not leave, he will go to Sima Zhao's house, and when the time comes, he will persecute Cao Pi, if you want to deal with it, you have to deal with it, and if you don't deal with it, you have to deal with it." ”

Only then did Yao Maoyu understand, it turned out that Xi Yu had already expected this step.

He was secretly glad in his heart.

"It's a good thing that I didn't do anything excessive impulsively, otherwise it might ruin the king's plan."

At the same time, he also realized that his temper really needed to be changed, and he could no longer act so impulsively.

Qin Feng glared at him and said in a stern tone, "It's time for your temper to change." In the future, when you encounter things, you must think calmly and not be so impulsive. ”

Cao Pi continued to hold meetings with the generals, his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water, and the atmosphere in the whole room became solemn.

"Generals, as for the matter of Sima Shi, you all discuss how to deal with it, and let's wait for other things." Cao Pi's voice came coldly.

An impatient general couldn't hold back and stood up suddenly.

"Gong Cao, Sima Shi's behavior like this is simply very happy! Xi Yu dared to write a letter of persuasion, this is obviously a humiliation to us! He insulted Xi Yu in the name of His Majesty, as he should! ”

Another general immediately said.

"Cao Gong, don't kill Sima Shi! I just killed Sima Yi, if I deal with Sima Shi again at this time, won't it make the generals chill? This will definitely affect the morale of our army! ”

"No, we must kill Sima Shi, this is just the opportunity to take this opportunity, otherwise he will have to avenge his father in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Didn't you mention Sima Zhao just now? By the way, Sima Zhao was also destroyed. ”

The general thought that this would be a good way not to look ahead.

So the two sides began to argue.

"Humph! Could it be that you are the lackey of the Sima family, and you dare to defend him! ”

"You don't want to talk nonsense! I'm just talking about things! The accused general was also furious.

For a time, tension was raging, tension was spreading, and the generals' arguments were getting louder and louder, as if they were about to break through the roof.

Seeing this, Cao Pi's irritability in his heart became more and more intense. He slapped the table hard and shouted.

"Enough! Shut up! ”

Everyone suddenly fell silent, looking at Cao Pi's angry face, no one dared to speak easily.

Cao Pi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"This matter is put on hold for the time being, Ben Hou needs time to think. Let's talk about the battle plan. ”

Therefore, for the time being, the issue of Sima Shi will not be discussed.

At the same time, Xi Yu in the camp recalled the story he had told about Wuhu Chaohua, and his heart was full of resentment towards the Sima family.

"The incompetence of the Sima family led to that terrible disaster." He thought to himself, "How many innocent people have died. ”

I've already crossed over, so I have to make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again.

"This time, I must use Cao Pi's hand to destroy the Sima family!" He clenched his fists, and his eyes gleamed with determination.

Although he had the strength to attack the Sima family directly, he preferred to let them fall into infighting.

He is well aware that internal strife is often more deadly than external attacks.

"Let them kill each other." A sneer appeared at the corner of Xi Yu's mouth, "I want to watch the Sima family gradually decline in the struggle." ”

His plan grew clearer in his mind.

He believed that with a little guidance, Cao Pi would become a sharp sword in his hand and eradicate the great trouble of the Sima family for him.

And Sima Zhao was restless in the room, he didn't know what to do next.

Slowly at noon, the sun was shining, and the sunlight had already spilled into the ground through the window, but Sima Zhao's heart was desolate.

However, in this case, suddenly someone looms in the doorway, like a ghost.

It was strange for Sima Zhao because he told his subordinates that they should be quiet for a while and that no one should come near their rooms.

So in this case, what kind of person is so bold that he dares to appear at the door of his room?

And the figure directly pushed the door in, it was the secret guard sent by Xi Yu's side to hand over to Qin Feng.

Sima Zhao was full of vigilance and immediately asked, "Who are you?" ”

"You're so smart, I think you can guess who I am."

There was a cold aura on the body of the dark guard, which was a little different from ordinary people, Sima Zhao was indeed very smart, and immediately guessed the identity of the other party.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the secret guard next to Xi Yu, I have long heard that there are secret guards around Xi Yu, but I didn't expect to see it today."

"Are you surprised? I was also surprised, I didn't expect you to be so different at such a young age, you are really young and old. ”

The dark guard said this not only as a compliment, but as a sign that he really admired Sima Zhao.

Many people have praised Sima Zhao, so Sima Zhao is no longer surprised by such praise.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you here?"

Sima Zhao also understood what was going on with the other party, but he still showed a very calm and confused look.

Once again, he showed that some of his temperament was inconsistent with his age.

"I just said you're smart, and I'm sure you should know why I'm here."

As soon as the dark guard said this, he sat down directly on a chair, and then crossed Erlang's legs, as if he was in his own home.

Sima Zhao sensed that he was a little rude, but he didn't say anything, but looked out the window.

He already understood, the Dark Guard already knew, that the letter was written by himself.

To be exact, it was Xi Yu who knew about it.

This shows that Xi Yu is going to kill everything, because his brother Sima Shi will definitely take all the responsibility on himself.

But Xi Yu definitely doesn't want his brother to protect him.

He really didn't understand why Xi Yu wanted to kill his family.

And Xi Yu can attack directly, but he has to make these small actions before attacking, what is he doing?

He immediately shook his head.

"I'm not smart, and I don't know what you're talking about."

The Dark Guard sneered.

"Whether you know it or not, I'll give you the answer. You should also know the question of that reply, the king thinks that it was written by you, not your brother, and I don't know what you think about this issue. ”

"What do you mean by that? What does this letter have to do with me? ”

"Your brother is willing to watch him suffer for the sake of you taking all the blame? Why are you so unresponsible? Besides, this letter was originally written by you. ”

The words of the secret guard made Sima Yi's face hot.

He didn't want to take the blame for his brother, but he was really at a loss now.

"And the purpose of my arrival is to make you admit it, and then to admit it to the whole world, and let Cao Pi destroy you, specifically to destroy both of your brothers, so that the Sima family will exist in name only."

The dark guard did not shy away from it, and directly stated the purpose. (End of chapter)
