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

After a cup of tea time.

After Cao Zhi and Chen Dao exchanged information.

Only then did Chen know.

My own momentary courage.

It actually ruined Cao Zhi's big plan.

"Fourth Young Master, I was wrong in this matter!"

Chen Dao said guiltily.

"It's okay, you're thinking about me too!"

Cao Zhi patted Chen Dao on the shoulder and comforted him.

"No, the clue is not broken!"

At this moment, a voice came from the depths of the ruined temple.

Accompanied by this voice.

A figure in night clothes.

Appeared in front of Cao Zhi and the other two.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Cao Zhi frowned.

"Since I'm covering my face, I naturally don't want you to know my identity!"

"But please rest assured, Master Cao, I have no ill will towards you!"

"I know who sent them to assassinate you. I can tell you the murderer behind the scenes, but - I need Master Cao to promise me one thing!"

The masked man said quietly.

"Scrape!"

I see that this person knows the real culprit behind the scenes, but doesn't tell me.

Cao Zhi immediately lost his patience.

Glancing at Ju Qi and Chen Dao.

The two of them understood immediately.

After a few breaths.

The man in black who just looked so smug.

At this moment, he has been caught by Cao Zhi.

"Let me see your true face!"

Cao Zhi smiled and unveiled the man's face.

The next moment, Cao Zhi was stunned.

Because Cao Zhi knew the person in front of him.

"Miss Rushuang, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this place!"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Cao Zhi smiled.

That’s right, the person in front of me.

It was the first time that Cao Zhi went to Baoyue Tower and invited the courtesan Ren Rushuang.

As for Rushuang.

At this moment, he looked at Cao Zhi coldly without saying a word.

It was obvious that she was very concerned about Cao Zhi's immoral behavior.

"Tell me, who is behind this?"

Cao Zhi said seriously.

"I know, but I don't want to tell you now!"

Ru Shuang said stubbornly.

The reason why Rushuang said this.

Except angry.

The more important reason is.

She wanted to use this as leverage.

And then exchange it for greater benefits from Cao Zhi.

"I advise you not to test my patience. If a woman falls into the hands of the enemy, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

At this point, Cao Zhi deliberately showed an expression of "you know" on his face.

"you--"

Rushuang's pretty face turned pale.

But after a moment, Rushuang's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Anyway, I've fallen into your hands, so I accept my fate. Master Cao, please have mercy on me!"

"Think beautifully!"

Before Rushuang could finish her words, Cao Zhi interrupted her, saying, "With your looks, you still want to climb onto my bed? Why don't you look in the mirror?"

"The consequences I'm talking about aren't just for me, but for tens of thousands of troops, maybe even hundreds of thousands!"

"What, you dare to let me—"

Having said this, Rushuang could no longer speak.

Her pretty face was filled with fear.

"Whether I dare or not depends on whether you cooperate or not!"

Cao Zhi teased.

Rushuang was silent...

After a long time.

Just when Cao Zhi lost his patience and was about to try another method, he heard Rushuang say, "My real name is Liu Min, and I'm the daughter of the current Prince Zhao. Baoyue Tower is part of our Prince Zhao's Mansion. My purpose is to gather information for our Prince Zhao's Mansion..."

"King Zhao?"

After hearing Rushuang's words.

In Cao Zhi's mind.

Immediately, a memory belonging to the original Cao Zhi emerged.

Same as the Western Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The parallel system of counties and kingdoms was also implemented.

But he was the ruler of a county or kingdom in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

His power was not as great as that of the county lords in the Western Han Dynasty.

Most of the county lords.

They only enjoyed financial rights and clan treatment within the fiefdom.

The State of Zhao was such a county-state.

It is located in the south of Jizhou.

After Yuan Shao entered Jizhou.

In order to consolidate rule.

He immediately ordered that King Zhao's entire family be brought to Yecheng.

In order to show his determination to support the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao himself married the sister of the current King of Zhao, Liu She, as his second wife.

That’s right, Yuan Shao’s wife, Liu, was from the Prince of Zhao’s Mansion.

However, the Prince Zhao's Mansion acts low-key.

So not many people know about this.

At least Cao Zhi and Cao Pi didn't know.

……

At this moment, after hearing that the woman in front of him came from Prince Zhao's Mansion.

In fact, there was not much turmoil in Cao Zhi's heart.

After all, he is a big man in front of us.

The emperors are all puppets, let alone the Han royal family?

In today's Jizhou, today's Yecheng.

The most honorable surname is Cao, not Liu!

"Hey, what's with that expression on your face? I'm a member of the Han royal family and I'm talking to you about cooperation, but you don't even react!"

Seeing that Cao Zhi remained indifferent after she said so much, Rushuang couldn't help but get angry.

"Cooperation? Miss Rushuang, you are indeed cooperating with both parties, and it is not your Zhao Palace that is seeking asylum!"

Cao Zhi hit the nail on the head and revealed Rushuang's thoughts.

"you!!"

Seeing Cao Zhi's direct words, Rushuang was speechless.

In fact.

Just as Cao Zhi said.

The current Prince Zhao's Mansion.

It does not have the glory of its ancestors.

It looks magnificent, but in fact it is just an empty shell.

Originally they wanted to seek protection from Cao Cao.

You can hear it from Mrs. Liu.

They knew that Cao Cao intended to tie Cao Zhi to the Hebei gentry.

In addition, Cao Pi had insulted Mrs. Liu many times.

So after some careful consideration.

The Prince of Zhao chose Cao Zhi.

Coincidentally.

Just when the Prince of Zhao's Mansion decided to contact Cao Zhi.

The fact that Cao Pi got drunk and hired assassins in Baoyue Tower was known to the people in Baoyue Tower.

In order to seize this opportunity, Rushuang followed all the way.

Later, the previous events happened.

Chen Dao, unaware of the truth, killed Lieutenant General Lin and two others, causing Cao Zhi to lose all clues.

Rushuang chose to stand up and negotiate terms at this time.

According to her plan.

In the name of cooperation, Cao Zhi was asked to protect the Prince of Zhao's Palace.

But I didn't expect that I couldn't beat Cao Zhi!

Rushuang felt very depressed when she thought that Cao Zhi had seen through all her thoughts.

"Haha, Miss Rushuang, no, I should call you Princess. It's not easy for your Zhao Palace to get my protection. I heard that the current Zhao King is the sixth generation of Zhao Kings. The accumulation of six generations of Zhao Kings must have left behind a considerable wealth!"

At this moment, Cao Zhi said quietly.

That’s right, Cao Zhi had his eyes on the wealth of Prince Zhao’s Mansion.

There's nothing I can do. It's my fault that I'm short of money right now!

"You... want money, that's fine too. As long as you agree to protect our Zhao Palace, we can give you 100,000 taels of gold!"

Rushuang thought for a moment and gave a price that she thought was reasonable.

"One hundred thousand taels? You're giving it to a beggar!"

Cao Zhi said dissatisfiedly.

You have to know that the Zhao Palace is the accumulation of six generations.

"Five hundred thousand taels of gold, and in addition, I will marry my daughter Min'er to you!"

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

Accompanied by this voice.

A short and fat middle-aged man who looks about 60% similar to Rushuang.

With a dozen guards.

Appeared at the door of the ruined temple.
