[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

Cao Zhi was in a very happy mood.

If Cao Cao does not come to the main entrance, it means that he does not need to face his father for the time being, and then say a few words about missing his father, and hear many words about how others miss his father and the wives miss their husbands.

Regardless of whether Cao Chong guessed that Cao Cao was going to come back from the side door after a flash of inspiration, or whether he knew it a long time ago and just left everyone at this moment.Even if this matter can be hidden from the brothers for a while and make Cao Cao happy, it will do more harm than good in the long run.

Just imagine—everyone waited patiently in the ice and snow for a long time, only to learn that Cao Cao had actually gone to the side door, and they would not be happy in their hearts.And in the cold, exhaustion, and disappointment, I suddenly heard that someone in Cao's mansion had greeted Cao Cao alone and won all his favor-what would happen?

——Aren’t they all going to resent this smart and loving child?

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi suppressed his full smile and frowned slightly.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Cao Chong's behavior. In Cao Cao's eyes, he is also superior in his youth and intelligence.It's a pity, it's a pity that Cao Chong is too young, still only a child at heart, and doesn't know how to win over others.If he had told Mrs. Bian about this matter, and the troops were divided into two groups to meet Cao Cao, the final result would be different.

Cao Cao still values ​​him, and his brothers will be grateful to him.

However, Cao Chong did not.

Cao Zhi sighed.

Although he is not very familiar with Cao Chong, Cao Chong is at least his younger brother.It's just that Cao Chong's actions were so extreme that he was silent in his heart.

... He still firmly follows the second brother, watching the majestic and majestic city gate of Xuchang, and waiting for the galloping horses of the soldiers to rush into the city like a gust of wind!

Cao Zhi did not see this matter, but the development of the situation was not as he expected.

Except for the female relatives, more than a dozen brothers got out of the carriage.In this way, Cao Pi soon discovered that Cao Chong and his carriage were gone.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cao Chong disappeared!

Cao Pi was shocked immediately.If he was kidnapped or died in Xuchang, how would he explain to his father?

He suppressed the fear in his heart, looked around first, and then asked Mrs. Huan.After getting her suspicious reaction, she informed Mrs. Bian and sent everyone to search carefully.

Cao Zhi looked up to the sky and was speechless.

After half an hour, they got the reply from the guard that someone saw the calm Cao Chong and his carriage at the side door.

——Why is Cao Chong at the side door?

Was someone threatening?But who is it that would threaten Cao Chong to drive the carriage to the side door and wait at the side door?What is the reason that Cao Chong's expression is still "calm and calm"?

Cao Pi's face sank like water, and after a while, he laughed angrily: "I often heard my father praise Cang Shu for his intelligence, and now it seems that it is true!"

Cao Zhang was still at a loss: "Since we have found Cang Shu, the second brother will bring him back quickly. Why are you talking so much?"

Cao Pi's eyes were cold: "Did the third brother think he was taken away by someone? Wrong, he left by himself!"

Cao Zhang felt more and more confused: "Father is coming back soon, how could he go to the side door alone?"

Cao Pi almost squeezed out the words between his teeth: "What if father also comes back through the side door?"

Cao Zhang finally understood.His complexion changed suddenly, he clenched his fist tightly, and then said: "But second brother, how can you be sure that father will not go through the main city gate, but the side gate?"

Cao Pi glanced at him, and the helplessness in his eyes was self-evident.This is very obvious. If Cao Chong was not sure, how could he leave so many people alone and go to greet him alone?

And was this ordered by Cao Cao, or did Cao Chong guess it himself?

If Cao Cao instructed...

Cao Pi closed his eyes, concealing the irrepressible killing intent.

Cao Zhang figured it out, and he gritted his teeth for a while and said, "Lao Liu is too unkind! No, father is coming back soon, let's go to the side door to greet him."

After saying that, Cao Zhi only felt a flash of darkness, and saw Cao Zhang had got on his horse.

"..." Cao Zhi's mouth twitched.Seeing that Cao Pi actually had such intentions, he quickly said: "It's too late, the soldiers are all ahead."

Cao Pi paused slightly.

He raised his head and saw black spots slowly approaching on the straight road outside the city gate, which became more and more conspicuous against the backdrop of snow.

It wasn't too early for them to come, and after all this time, the army was already close at hand.

Cao Pi's face was livid!

He stared coldly at the front, gradually getting rid of the coldness all over his body.

This account will have to be settled with Cao Chong sooner or later.

Now he is in no rush, not at all.

"Third brother, get off your horse first." Cao Pi looked at the black spots in front of him and said calmly, "After a while they see you still on the horse, what will you look like?"

Cao Zhang got off his horse angrily, and said angrily, "When I get back, brother will definitely make that kid Cao Chong look good!"

Cao Zhi felt speechless.

He could only persuade: "Actually, the situation is not too bad."

"Oh?"

Cao Zhi said: "Zhi thinks that even if my father really wants to test us, the second brother can 'do whatever he wants'."

Cao Pi's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips: "Oh? How does the fourth brother think it should be done?"

"Since the army is in front of us, we will welcome it safely. Although we can't guess what father is thinking, we have already fallen behind. But what if we are standing here to welcome the soldiers who have worked so hard to fight all over the world?"

Cao Zhang curled his lips when he heard the words: "Father is not here, why welcome them?"

Only Cao Pi's eyes lit up.

It was not early when Cao Cao returned home.

When he came to the side door, he heard Cao Chong's childish voice say: "My son welcomes father back!" Then he opened the curtain, and he saw Cao Chong standing alone in the side door, waiting patiently for his return.

Cao Cao's heart was half happy, half sad—how come there are so many children, only Cang Shu knows what he wants?

This obviously disappointed a father, so Cao Cao was naturally lost.

But it wasn't long before he disappeared, because at this moment, there were actually two assassins who came to join in the fun!

The two assassins were probably Tan Shangzhi's men, and they were quickly caught.Cao Cao originally wanted to execute him directly, but he heard Cao Chong say, "I think it's better to open the city gate and let them go."

Cao Cao was surprised: "Why?"

"If you kill them, you can only make Yuan Jun hateful; but if they are captured and released, it will deter Yuan Jun even more."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, released the two as promised, and returned home happily.

When he returned home, all the women and children came back.Only Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi never returned.

Cao Cao was suspicious, so he asked Mrs. Bian.

Mrs. Bian glanced at Cao Chong calmly, and said with a smile, "Pi'er led Zhang'er and Zhi'er, and is now welcoming the soldiers. We, the women's family, came back early because of the inconvenience."

"Oh? Welcome the lonely soldiers?"

Mrs. Bian narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Husband, when you come back from the side door, you will be greeted by Cangshu; so the soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time naturally need someone to welcome them."

Cao Cao was a little surprised.

When the three of Cao Pi came back, the soldiers around them treated them with respect.

Seeing such a change, Cao Cao was relieved and said, "Gudao just wanted to test you, but I didn't expect you to do better today than Gu thought."

Cao Pi smiled and said: "Thanks to the fourth brother reminding my son, the soldiers must have been exhausted in such a cold winter. My son is not as smart as a cang, and he can guess what his father is thinking, so he stays here and has the right to meet the three armies."

Cao Cao was also very satisfied with his answer, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, for the emperor, you should comfort the three armies. You have done a good job this time."

Cao Pi's heart was shocked when he said the word "junzhe", and he bowed hurriedly.

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Cao Zhi: "Since you can't figure out Gu's thoughts, but you have an idea to deal with it. I am very satisfied as a father. From now on, follow Xun Yu and Jia Xu and learn a lot. .”

Cao Zhi responded respectfully.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang again.Seeing that Cao Zhang opened his mouth and was about to speak, he waved his hands and said, "Come on, I know that it must not be your business. Learn from your second brother and fourth brother, and don't let Gu worry all the time."

Cao Zhang was depressed.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved and ordered the three of them to come out.

After suffering from the cold for half a day, my stomach was growling with hunger, but in exchange for Cao Cao's praise, I still made a profit in the end.

Except for Cao Zhang, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are in a good mood.

At this time, Mrs. Bian had prepared lunch and ordered the three of them to go.

Cao Pi walked beside Cao Zhi.He looked at the young boy beside him, and doubts flashed in his heart.Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, and half-truthfully said: "Thanks to the fourth brother for today's matter, unexpectedly, the fourth brother is also resourceful."

When Cao Zhi heard it, his heart tightened.

——Sure enough!

When he said those words earlier, he had expected that Cao Pi would be suspicious.But getting along day and night, this suspicion will never be very deep, maybe it is just doubts about why Cao Zhi, who has always been ordinary, would make such an appropriate suggestion.

When Cao Zhang heard the words, he also agreed deeply: "Yes, fourth brother, you are really smart this time, otherwise the three of us will be miserable!"

The corners of Cao Zhi's mouth twitched slightly.

The third brother of his family is really stupid to the extreme when it comes to these things.

But he also wants to learn from Cao Zhang at this time.He seemed unable to comprehend the meaning of Cao Pi's words, so he sighed slightly, and then there was a wry smile in his eyes, and he stared sideways at his second brother's eyes: "Second brother is absurd. If Zhiruo is really resourceful, how can he fail to see the meaning of his father's letter?" , go to the main gate."

Hearing this, Cao Pi subconsciously thought of the frail but enviable back, and said indifferently: "Cang Shu's intelligence is really unmatched among us brothers. But the fourth brother has always been generous and loving, so there is no need Presumptuous."

Cao Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Second brother, you are praising me again! The master said that the world is full of these soldiers who fought with their lives, so Zhi Zhi felt that he should respect them."

When Cao Pi thought of Yang Xiu, he showed respect on his face.He looked at his fourth brother helplessly, and his previous doubts disappeared: "Mr. Yang is smart, and the second brother admires him very much. You, you have to study hard!"

Cao Zhi wrinkled his nose.

Cao Pi smiled and said, "Why, does the fourth brother not trust the second brother, or Mr. Yang?"

Cao Zhi lowered his head and whispered, "Sir always bullies me..."

Cao Pi chuckled lightly.

Only Cao Zhang patted his chest and said: "In the future, if he dares to bully you again, the third brother will secretly beat him up for you to vent his anger!"

"..."
