Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

Chapter 157 Jia Xu's Wisdom

"What's written on this paper is correct. I am indeed the Fourth Young Master's backup in Yecheng!"

Jia Xu said seriously.

As soon as Jia Xu said this, the air in the room stagnated.

After a moment, Cao Pi smiled and said:

"I admire Mr. Jia's honesty, but I want to know why."

"reason?"

Jia Xu paused, then said helplessly:

"I'm afraid of death. The Fourth Young Master once held a knife to my neck and forced me to submit to him. To survive, I had no choice but to acknowledge him as my master!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi was stunned.

After staring at Jia Xu's face and confirming that Jia Xu was not joking, Cao Pi couldn't help but exclaim that it was a bad decision.

Although he was complaining about his own mistakes in his heart, Cao Pi said angrily on the surface:

"Zijian actually dared to be so rude to you, sir. It's really disgraceful!"

"Please rest assured, sir. I will take care of it for you and make Zijian apologize to you!"

Having said that, Cao Pi changed the subject and continued:

"But I don't understand why you're telling me this, sir. Don't you know that admitting you're Zijian's backup in Yecheng will bring you disaster?"

"I know!" Jia Xu said with a smile:

"I just told you the reason, because I'm afraid of death!"

Jia Xu shook the stack of papers in his hand.

Although Jia Xu said he was afraid of death, his words and actions showed that everything was under control.

For a moment, Cao Pi couldn't tell whether Jia Xu was telling the truth or a lie.

However, what Jia Xu had just said reminded Cao Pi.

That is, although Jia Xu is smart, he does not have a knife in his hand.

As long as he noticed that there was something wrong with Jia Xu, he would just kill him with one blow!

Thinking of this, Cao Pi immediately extended an olive branch to Jia Xu.

And Jia Xu also recognized Cao Pi as his lord at the first opportunity.

As for Sima Lang standing aside.

Seeing that Cao Pi easily believed Jia Xu's words.

At that moment, he couldn't help but cry out in his heart that something was wrong.

Sima Lang had no way of knowing whether Jia Xu was truly or pretending to surrender to Cao Pi.

But there is one thing Sima Lang can guarantee, that is, Jia Xu is very smart.

The thought that there is such a smart person around Cao Pi will inevitably affect his plans.

Sima Lang was bad:

"Second Young Master, this person cannot be trusted easily!"

In order to arouse Cao Pi's disgust towards Jia Xu.

Sima Lang even brought Cao Cao into his group.

The "Wancheng Love Story" that has never been mentioned has been brought out.

"Second Young Master, remember back in Wancheng, Young Master Ang, General Dian Wei, and Jueying Horse all died because of this man's scheme!"

"You were also in the military camp at that time. Have you forgotten how embarrassing it was to escape Wancheng on horseback alone?"

When Sima Lang said this, Cao Pi couldn't help but pause.

There was some anger in the look he gave Jia Xu.

As for Jia Xu, he ignored Cao Pi's eyes that were almost spitting fire, and just said lightly:

"You are so jealous of talented people, you are worthy of being Sima Lang!"

In one sentence, Sima Lang's behavior was directly characterized.

Then, without waiting for Sima Lang to explain, he continued:

"If the Second Young Master only wants the position of heir, Sima Lang is naturally enough. But if the Second Young Master wants the entire world, then I, Jia Xu, am the Second Young Master's best choice!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi was stunned.

All he wanted originally was the position of heir.

As for the supreme position of the Son of Heaven, Cao Pi only thought about it occasionally in his dreams.

But at this moment, after seeing Jia Xu's solemn look.

Cao Pi's heart was filled with ripples.

If Jia Xu really has a solution, then...

When he thought of this, Cao Pi felt his breathing quicken.

The look he gave Jia Xu was now filled with excitement and excitement.

"Such a talent, I must get it!"

Cao Pi shouted in his heart.

But at this moment, Sima Lang said again:

"Mr. Jia's talent is naturally unquestionable, but how can you prove your loyalty to the Second Young Master?"

"What do you mean?" Jia Xu asked back.

"Simple. Take your men and capture all those hiding in Cao Zhi's mansion. Prove your loyalty to the Second Young Master with your actions!"

Sima Lang said in a deep voice.

"idiot!"

Jia Xu sneered.

"What did you say?" Sima Lang frowned.

"I said you idiot!"

Jia Xu raised his voice.

Then, under Cao Pi's gaze, Jia Xu said seriously:

"The Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master are brothers from the same mother. This is known to everyone in the world. The Minister of State has allowed the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master to compete fairly for the position of heir. In Ye City, everyone knows this!"

"Our Han Dynasty values loyalty and filial piety. The Second Young Master has just been appointed Minister of Works, and his foundation is still unstable. At this time, he should demonstrate to the outside world the kindness and integrity of a father and a son, and the friendship and respect of brothers, so that outsiders can see the Second Young Master's kindness and integrity..."

"But what did you do? As soon as you gained power, you immediately attacked your own brothers, brothers from the same mother. Are you afraid that others will not know that the Second Young Master came to power illegitimately? Are you afraid that others will not know that the Second Young Master cannot even tolerate his own brothers?"

"Sima Lang, as a counselor, you can't even see this. I call you an idiot, but I'm still praising you!"

Jia Xu pointed at Sima Lang's nose and cursed angrily.

"You... I think you just want to protect them. If you ask me, your allegiance to the Second Young Master is fake, and your real intention is to protect the people in the Fourth Young Master's mansion!"

Although he knew that what Jia Xu had just said made sense, Sima Lang still insisted.

"Since you want to kill everyone in the Fourth Young Master's Mansion so badly, how about this? You lead your troops to slaughter them all. I will not stop you!"

Jia Xu looked at Sima Lang and provoked him.

"This……"

Sima Lang was stunned.

Looking at Jia Xu's righteous look.

He recalled what Sima Lang had just said.

Sima Lang really didn't dare to do that.

There are two reasons why he dared not do so.

First, Cao Zhi has not yet fallen into his hands.

Given Cao Zhi's methods and character, what if he turns the tide in the future and finds out about his actions today?

Then the Sima family would definitely be slaughtered by Cao Zhi.

Second, it was because Jia Xu’s words just now reminded Sima Lang.

That is, the massacre at Cao Zhi's mansion would be a lifelong stain on Cao Pi.

If Cao Pi succeeds in this rebellion and wants to wash away the stain of slaughtering his brothers in the future, then he will definitely be used as a scapegoat by Cao Pi.

Take all factors into consideration.

Sima Lang did not dare to respond to Jia Xu.

On the other side of the living room.

Sima Lang was choked by Jia Xu's words.

Lu Xiang was dumbfounded.

Before this moment.

He was also complacent and thought that as long as he took the initiative to do the dirty work for Cao Pi, he would quickly become Cao Pi's confidant.

But now, after listening to Jia Xu's analysis.

Only then did Lu Xiang realize how deep the water was here.

In front of Jia Xu and Sima Lang, he was just a rookie!

And the thought of such deep water.

The Sima family let the two brothers rush forward foolishly.

At this moment, Lu Xiang was full of hatred towards Sima Lang.

As for Cao Pi, he was speechless when he saw Sima Lang was rebuked by Jia Xu.

Only then did he realize that Sima Lang was also dishonest at times.

But out of trust in Sima Lang.

Cao Pi instinctively thought.

The reason why Sima Lang did this.

He just wanted to use his own hand to avenge Sima Yi!
