System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"He is our great enemy, Liu Bei, but a minor ailment."

Cao Cao looked serious, leaning forward with his hands on the table, and shouted loudly to the civil and military officials.

"My lord...My lord, something bad has happened."

"Xi...Xi Military Advisor...Xi Military Advisor Yu just passed away."

At this moment, Man Chong, who was sent to visit Xi Zhicai, exclaimed with a sad look.

"What!!"

"What!!"

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"How could Zhicai leave me!"

Cao Cao's face was filled with anger as he shouted in disbelief.

"I'm going to see Zhicai!"

As Cao Cao said this, he stood up and ran out of the hall quickly, even forgetting to put on his shoes.

"Lord!"

“My Lord!!”

Everyone exclaimed and followed.

戏府

A cry of wailing.

Women, children and servants all knelt in front of the coffin and cried loudly.

"Woo~"

"Husband~~"

"Daddy~~"

Everyone was dressed in mourning and wept on the ground.

"Zhicai!"

“Shicai, my Shicai!!”

Cao Cao's eyes were red and wet, and he ran over with staggering steps.

Running all the way from Cao's mansion, Cao Cao left behind bloody footprints wherever he passed.

“Ahhhhhhhh~”

"What a talented man! What a pity for him!"

"Why did my ambition and talent die so early?"

"You made a great wish to help me achieve my great cause, but why did you leave so early? Why did you leave so early?"

Cao Cao ignored everyone's attempts to stop him and lay on Xi Zhicai's coffin, crying bitterly.

"My lord...my condolences!"

"My lord, I'm so sad!"

Outside the mourning hall, civil and military officials expressed their condolences and persuasion.

“Zhicai!!”

"My ambition and talent!"

"Ahaha... How could you leave me?!"

"Your death has left me heartbroken and inconsolable."

Compared with people like Cheng Yu and Chen Gong, Xi Zhicai was the first counselor to join him.

He has always worked hard and never shown favoritism.

The plans and strategies offered.

Although he suffered occasional failures, they helped him achieve the power he has today.

Especially in the matter against Yuan Shao, Xi Zhicai even let Yuan Shao bribe Xu You, Guo Tu and other powerful villains after Yuan Shao was defeated, and thus annexed Yuan Shao's troops.

"Ming...Ming Gong."

"Before my husband left, he asked me to give this letter to you, my lord."

Xi Zhicai's wife, Lin, held a letter in her hand and spoke to Cao Cao.

"Madam...Zhicai...was he able to pass away peacefully?"

Cao Cao's narrow eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help asking as he took the letter.

"Before my husband left, he cried out in frustration, wishing he could help you achieve hegemony."

Mrs. Lin looked sad and heartbroken.

"Ah~"

"My ambition and talent are envied by heaven."

Cao Cao sobbed and tilted his head back to let the tears flow back.

"Woo~"

Mrs. Lin's tears burst out, unable to hold them back any longer.

"Madam...Zhicai and I are not master and servant, but close friends."

"Now that Zhicai has passed away young, leaving behind an orphan and a widow, I will take care of his wife and children."

"If you need anything in the future, just send someone to let me know, and I will do whatever I want."

Cao Cao looked at Lin, then at the child kneeling on the ground in pain, and spoke in a moving tone.

"Thank you, Lord Ming..."

Lin sobbed and thanked him.

After crying for a while, Cao Cao even fainted from crying.

In the end, he was carried back to Cao's mansion by the civil and military officials who followed him.

Even when he was fainting, Cao Cao still held tightly the last letter left to him by Xi Zhicai.

"Uh~"

"Ah, ah!!"

"Someone, come quickly!"

Cao Cao suddenly woke up from his dream and shouted to scare people.

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian, who were guarding outside the door, came in immediately.

"Ah Man, are you feeling better?"

Mrs. Ding held Cao Cao's hand and asked with concern.

"Madam...I dreamed that Zhicai had gone."

"Quick, come with me to the theater. I won't feel at ease until I see Zhicai."

Cao Cao was very excited and was about to get off the bed and put on his shoes.

"Aman!"

"Military Advisor Xi has already left."

"You were injured and fainted yesterday. You can't go anymore."

Mrs. Ding, with tears in her eyes, shouted to stop Cao Cao.

"Yes...it turns out it's all true..."

Cao Cao sat on the couch with his eyes wide open, looking distraught.

He didn't dare to admit, nor was he willing to admit the fact that Xi Zhicai had died of illness.

Both publicly and privately, Xi Zhicai was a close friend and right-hand man to Cao Cao.

As a friend, Xi Zhicai can make Cao Cao happy and also help Cao Cao make the most appropriate decision for him when he is in trouble.
