"Master, the Fourth Young Master and Captain Xu request an audience!"

The servant bowed.

"What--"

After hearing the news.

The three people in the room were shocked.

They don't understand.

Why did Cao Zhi appear here at this time?

“Could it be???”

Xun Yu cast suspicious glances at Zhong Yao and Cao Pi.

"I was very careful when I came here, no one would notice!"

Zhong Yao said in a deep voice.

"I, I don't know anything!"

Cao Pi hurriedly explained.

The panic on their faces was not fake.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment.

So he decided to let Cao Pi hide.

As for Zhong Yao.

As Zhong Yao.

You can't tell when you're leaving the house.

He was discovered by the secret agents from the school history office.

Therefore, Zhong Yao was asked to hide at this time.

Instead, it only makes things more obvious.

After doing all this.

Xun Yu then said to his servants:

"Go and invite the Fourth Young Master and Captain Xu in!"

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Under the leadership of the servants.

Cao Zhi and Xu Chu walked in.

I saw Zhong Yao was there too.

Cao Zhi was stunned at first.

Then he bowed and said:

"Greetings to Lord Xun, and Captain Zhong!"

As for Xu Chu, he just bowed symbolically.

"sit!"

Xun Yu pointed at the chairs and motioned for the two to sit down.

Then he smiled and asked:

"I don't know what wind brought the Fourth Young Master here!"

"Hehe... I heard that Xun Lingjun was ill recently, so I came to visit him!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

visit???

As soon as Cao Zhi said this.

Xun Yu and Zhong Yao's faces turned dark.

How can you visit a patient at home without bringing a gift?

Could you be a little more perfunctory?

"Xun Lingjun, Fourth Young Master, you two can chat first. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now!"

Zhong Yao bowed and prepared to leave.

He was afraid to stay any longer.

I couldn't help but slap Cao Zhi.

And it suddenly occurred to him.

Since Cao Pi's current identity is not public.

Instead of taking Cao Pi away by himself, he hid here and there.

It would be better to throw Cao Pi to Xun Yu's house, increase the pressure on Xun Yu, and force Xun Yu to make a choice as soon as possible.

"You're leaving after just a cup of tea. Captain Zhong is so concerned about Lord Xun?" Cao Zhi said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out.

Xun Yu and Zhong Yao were stunned.

Nothing else——

Because from what Cao Zhi just said.

Let these two understand.

Cao Pi knew exactly the time when Zhong Yao entered Xun Yu's mansion.

And when I think about all my actions.

They were all under Cao Zhi's surveillance.

Zhong Yao panicked!!!

"Fourth Young Master, I, I, I...you sent someone to follow me?" Zhong Yao said angrily.

He tried to get away with it by being angry.

"Haha, Captain Zhong, what are you talking about? Why would I follow you for no reason?" Cao Zhi laughed.

After hearing this, Zhong Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since Cao Zhi did not send anyone to follow him.

Then someone was sent to supervise Xun Yu's residence.

Although in this case.

There is also a risk of exposure.

But now Cao Pi is in Xun Yu's house.

The one who should be worried about is Xun Yu, not himself.

"Haha... Since the Fourth Young Master has said so, I will stay a little longer!" Zhong Yao said with a smile.

He wanted to see how Cao Zhi would force Xun Yu and what choice Xun Yu would make.

"Why are you so happy? I haven't finished speaking yet." Cao Zhi sneered:

"Now that my father is about to be crowned king, I have placed spies from the school's history office around every prominent figure in Ye City!"

"It's not just you, even Cao Pi, who had already left the city, has the same problem!"

As Cao Zhi spoke, he admired the expression on Zhong Yao's face.

really--

Zhong Yao was completely dumbfounded.

And just as his head was buzzing.

Cao Zhi glanced at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu understood and immediately took out a wine jug from his waist and started drinking it.

Xun Yu: “???”

Zhong Yao: “???”

Xun Yu and Zhong Yao looked confused.

Xu Chu walked straight up to Zhong Yao.

"brush!"

I saw a flash of white light.

next moment.

Zhong Yao's head was already in Xu Chu's hand.

His body fell heavily to the ground.

……

"Yuan Chang (Zhong Yao, courtesy name Yuan Chang)!"

Xun Yu lost his voice.

Then he quickly ran to Zhong Yao.

Looking at Zhong Yao's dismembered body.

Xun Yu was completely paralyzed.

"Fourth Young Master, why are you doing this? Yuan Chang is a pillar of our Yingchuan noble family. Even if he is wrong, he does not deserve the death penalty!"

Xun Yu murmured.

"Oh? In Xun Lingjun's opinion, I was wrong?"

Cao Zhi asked back.

"you--"

Xun Yu was choked by Cao Zhi's words.

After a while, Xun Yu said helplessly:

"Fourth Young Master, I know you are naturally intelligent, but don't you know that the end of politics is compromise?"

"Even last time, when we, the Yingchuan nobles, supported the Second Young Master, we never considered killing anyone!"

"I know, that's why I chose to kill this Liao in front of you instead of sending troops to capture him with great fanfare!"

"I killed him because he deserved to die!"

"I didn't kill him in public, which meant I was giving you a chance to compromise!"

Cao Zhi sneered.

Xun Yu: “…”

Seeing that Xun Yu did not answer.

Cao Zhi continued:

"Lord Xun, my father has always remembered the help you and the Yingchuan nobles have given him. He sent me here because he couldn't bear to see you go astray and end up drawing your sword against your long-time friends!"

"I'm not here to threaten or intimidate you, but to save you!"

Cao Zhi stated the purpose of his trip!

That is, he did not want Xun Yu to lead the Henan gentry to oppose Cao Cao, thus bringing disaster upon himself.

Of course, from Cao Zhi's heart.

Based on Cao Zhi's understanding of Xun Yu.

And the relationship between Cao Zhi and Xun Yun.

Cao Zhi also didn't want Xun Yu to die because of this.

After all, Xun Yu has talent in domestic affairs.

But he is comparable to the later Zhuge Liang.

It would be such a pity to kill such a talent.

Plus the current Henan gentry.

They all followed Xun Yu's lead.

If Xun Yu surrendered voluntarily.

By then, there would be dissatisfaction within the imperial court with Cao Cao becoming king.

There are only a very few people loyal to the Han Dynasty who have not yet jumped out.

And a few members of the Liu royal family who still couldn't see the situation clearly.

But Cao Zhi believed it.

There must not be many of these people.

Just deal with Xun Yu yourself.

These people may even change their stance directly.

Become a staunch supporter of Cao Cao's claim to the throne!

In a word.

Whether out of personal feelings or subjective interests, Cao Zhi could not let Xun Yu die.

As for Xun Yu.

After hearing Cao Zhi's words.

The whole person was stunned.

As smart as he is.

You can see it naturally.

The reason why Cao Zhi brought Xu Chu to the door at this time.

There is definitely a threat to myself.

But more people are unwilling to "go the wrong way".

"why?"

Xun Yu expressed his inner doubts.

He remembered that he and Cao Zhi had no personal relationship.

"I can't explain it clearly. I just think that people like you should have a good ending!" Cao Zhi said with a smile.

Seeing Cao Zhi say this.

Xun Yu was stunned.

It was a long time before Xun Yu finally recovered.

The look he gave Cao Zhi was filled with gratitude.

"Thank you!" Xun Yu said seriously.

After saying this.

Without waiting for Cao Zhi's response.

Xun Yu pointed behind the screen.

Cao Zhi understood.

Then Chu tiptoed to the screen.

"brush!"

Cao Zhi pushed the screen down suddenly.

In Cao Pi's face of horror.

Cao Zhi smiled and said:

"Second brother, long time no see!"
