Cao Zhi's residence.

This is now the General’s Mansion of the Western Expedition.

Cao Zhi had just walked into the courtyard.

He met Cao Zhang head-on, who looked anxious.

"Where is Zilong?" Cao Zhi asked.

"He's drinking alone in his room!" Cao Zhang said.

Without waiting for Cao Zhi's response, Cao Zhang continued:

"Zijian, do you think Zilong and we are on the same page?"

Seeing that even Cao Zhang could see that something was wrong with Zhao Yun, what else could Cao Zhi say?

Patting Cao Zhang on the shoulder, Cao Zhi said seriously:

"I'll try my best!"

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Cao Zhi came to Zhao Yun's room.

As soon as he opened the door, Cao Zhi smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Afterwards, Cao Zhi saw Zhao Yun slumped on the ground, and a dozen empty wine jars beside Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun's eyes were blurred.

I don’t know where the hairpin on my head fell.

Her long black hair fell across her face.

The whole person gives people a sense of decadence.

Just from his appearance, Cao Zhi could see Zhao Yun's dilemma at the moment.

However, it’s better to be entangled.

Cao Zhi would only be sad if Zhao Yun really acted as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the person coming was Cao Zhi, Zhao Yun opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out.

As for Cao Zhi, he did not speak at this time.

Under Zhao Yun's gaze.

Cao Zhi found a jar of unopened fine wine from beside Zhao Yun.

He drank it all at once.

After drinking a jar of wine.

Cao Zhi looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile:

"Zilong, I know what you are thinking now!"

……

"Zilong, I know what you are thinking now!"

That simple sentence was like a thunderbolt.

The smell of alcohol on Zhao Yun was mostly dispelled in an instant, and Zhao Yun was just about to open his mouth to explain.

But Cao Zhi smiled and said:

"No need to explain, I understand you!"

"Do you want to hear my opinion of Uncle Liu?"

"Ever since the Eighteen Princes went to fight Dong Zhuo, each of them has been under the banner of fighting against the rebels and supporting the Han Dynasty, but in reality they are all fighting for power and profit. Today I fight you, tomorrow you fight me. All they see is profit!"

"Among these people, only two truly supported the Han Dynasty: my father, Cao Sikong, and Liu Bei, Liu Xuande!"

"My father only cares about the results, not the process. During his conquest of the world, his methods in Xudu were not glorious. In truth, Uncle Liu is sincere and trustworthy, and he loves the people like his own children. Although he and I are now on different sides, I admire Uncle Liu very much!"

Cao Zhi asked himself and answered himself.

A heartfelt conversation.

Zhao Yun was completely stunned by what he heard.

However, seeing that Cao Zhi praised Liu Bei so much.

A possibility suddenly arose in Zhao Yun's mind.

"Fourth Young Master, can we cancel our bet and allow me to follow Uncle Liu again? I swear on my honor that after returning to Uncle Liu, I will never kill a single person in Cao's camp..."

"cannot!"

Cao Zhi said with determination.

Seeing Cao Zhi's refusal so bluntly, Zhao Yun smiled bitterly.

"That's right, he is Cao Cao's son, why would he let me go back to help Uncle Liu?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun's decadent look became even more severe.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was not in good condition, Cao Zhi had no doubt that Zhao Yun had already decided to fight to the death.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi could not help but speed up his pace to attack Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, what do you think of me? Tell me what you really think of me."

"This……"

Zhao Yun was stunned at first, then fell into deep thought.

Change to usual.

Given Zhao Yun's personality, he would not answer such questions.

No matter how approachable Cao Zhi is.

Zhao Yun would never discuss such issues with Cao Zhi.

Because Cao Zhi was the master and Zhao Yun was the minister.

It is not Zhao Yun's character for a minister to criticize his lord without authorization.

But now, because he had the determination to fight to the death, Zhao Yun spoke without any scruples.

"Initially, in my eyes, the Fourth Young Master was just a promising young man, both in literature and martial arts. The reason I followed you was because I lost the bet..."

"...Later, after following the Fourth Prince into Youzhou, I witnessed him personally torture Lu Yu to death in Zhuo County; slaughter 15,000 surrendered soldiers in Ji County; annihilate the three Wuhuan cavalry at the Great Wall; and, with just one letter, persuade Gongsun Kang to surrender..."

"Since then, the Fourth Young Master, like Uncle Liu, has become the person I admire the most!"

Zhao Yun sighed.

"Then do you know why I do this?"

Cao Zhi asked back.

"This……"

Zhao Yun fell into deep thought again.

Zhao Yun originally wanted to say that it was because Cao Zhi was kind.

But think about it, a kind person would not do such things as lingchi or killing prisoners of war.

But if you say that Cao Zhi is not kind.

But the people Cao Zhi killed were already extremely evil.

The starting point of everything we do is for the people.

As Zhao Yun thought deeper, he suddenly discovered.

The image of Cao Zhi was constantly magnified in his own mind.

"In your heart, am I the same as Uncle Liu, or am I not as good as Uncle Liu?"

Cao Zhi's plan was exhausted and he revealed his trump card.

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to answer, Cao Zhi continued:

"In terms of personal morality, I may not be as good as Uncle Liu, but in terms of justice, ten Liu Xuandes are not as good as one Cao Zhi!"

After saying this.

Cao Zhi immediately closed his mouth and stared at Zhao Yun.

And Zhao Yun, after hearing Cao Zhi's words at this moment.

My heart is in turmoil.

On the surface, the current state cannot be maintained.

Feel Cao Zhi's sharp gaze.

Before he knew it, beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Yun's forehead...
