[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

Not long after Cao Cao returned, he sent everyone away to make a pilgrimage to see the emperor.

Cao Zhi sat leisurely in the garden pavilion.

Xuchang has entered February.Dressing in the spring breeze, the willow branches are floating.After the rain, the weeds are green and full of vitality.

While admiring the plum tree in front of him with all the plum trees in green, he drank to himself.

He is waiting for two people.

The first one is naturally Cao Zhang.He heard that his father ordered Cao Zhang to send Guo Jia away from Liucheng, but he didn't know whether Guo Jia really lived through this calamity in history, or passed away at this time.

But no matter what, the letter he wrote to Cao Zhang must have aroused his suspicion.

Cao Zhang came soon.

Seeing his fourth younger brother enjoying the flowers leisurely, he frowned and said: "Fourth younger brother, you are not riding a horse to practice martial arts, and you are actually admiring the flowers in the garden! Really... that rotten wood can't be carved!"

Before that, Cao Cao scolded him because he couldn't recite an allusion, not to mention feeling depressed.Seeing Cao Zhi always so leisurely now, he became more and more depressed.

The corner of Cao Zhi's mouth twitched.

He took a sip of water unhurriedly, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhengzhi is ordering Zhi to write a poem. Is the third brother interested?"

Cao Zhang was speechless.He sat down opposite Cao Zhi: "The third brother is here to ask you something."

Cao Zhi asked curiously, "Oh? What does the third brother want to ask?"

Cao Zhang stared at his fourth younger brother, curiously: "Do you still remember the letter I wrote to my third brother in April and May last year?"

Cao Zhi thought for a long time, blinked and smiled and said, "I don't remember."

"..." Cao Zhang suddenly widened his eyes.

Xu was inherited from the Bian family, and Cao Zhang's eyes are very similar to Cao Zhi's.Looking at it now, it looks a little cute.

"Why did you forget?" Cao Zhang became more and more depressed.He couldn't forget what happened for several months, but the instigator couldn't remember it!

Cao Zhi was also a little puzzled: "Why can't I forget?"

Cao Zhang said anxiously: "That's not right, it was obviously you who told me that the military commander would be seriously ill, and you must send him out... and you also know that Hua Tuo is not far from Yizhou, just in time to save the military teacher !"

Cao Zhi's expression was also a little dazed.

But he suddenly smiled inscrutablely: "Third brother, do you believe that I can predict the future?"

Cao Zhang heard the rock suddenly and just stared at him blankly.

Cao Zhi spread his hands, seemingly helplessly said: "This is the end. I can't predict the future, how would I know that my husband will be seriously ill, and my father will ask the third brother to send him out, and then meet the miracle doctor Hua on the way? "

Cao Zhang still looked at him blankly.

"Do you still remember the contents of that letter?" Seeing that his third brother was still shaking his head, Cao Zhi said, "What I wrote at the time was what if. Mr. is in such poor health, and Liucheng is not a good place. He sent it back. As for Hua Tuo..." At this point, he paused again, and said helplessly, "Third brother, even you don't know who Hua Tuo is, so how could Zhi know him?"

Cao Zhang pondered.

He didn't know where to throw that letter, and he couldn't remember most of the contents of the letter.It's just that once he believed Cao Zhi's words, Cao Zhang felt quite reasonable.

He stopped being entangled, and happily drank the water Cao Zhi poured for himself, smashed his mouth and said, "I said, fourth brother, you are 16 years old anyway, why do you still drink this kind of plain water? Brother, tell me, If you are a man, you have to drink a lot! By the way, didn’t we hide a few jars of wine in the past two years, go and get them out, we brothers will not get drunk today!”

Cao Zhi sighed: "Those jars of wine have already been drunk by Mr. Sheng."

Cao Zhang squinted at him: "Stop making trouble, Mr. Yang Xiu doesn't know how to drink at all."

"It's Mr. Wang Qi."

"What?!" Cao Zhang still remembered how badly he was beaten by Wang Qi back then, but it was only after these years that he was away for many years that he gradually forgot.Hearing Cao Zhi mention this name again at this time, he rushed out immediately, "New and old hatred! Brother, go find him now, and beat him to the ground!"

Cao Zhi couldn't laugh or cry.

When Cao Zhang went out in a hurry, he also ran into Guo Jia.Seeing that he was wearing a thick coat, he only saluted and left in a hurry.

Guo Jia withdrew his gaze and put it in the pavilion not far away.

He has seen Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi has also seen him.

At a glance before, I could only get a general idea, knowing that this person is exaggeratedly thin now.Looking closely now, although he has a sick face on his face, he is still as handsome and outstanding as ever.

Cao Zhi felt both uncomfortable and proud.

It turns out that liking someone is this feeling.

He sighed in his heart, got up involuntarily, helped Guo Jia into the pavilion, looked at his pale face, and poured him a glass of water: "How do you feel, sir?"

Guo Jia looked at the glass of clear water and said calmly, "I can't die."

Although his life was saved, his spleen and lungs were injured, and he could no longer drink alcohol in a short period of time.

——If he was not close to death, he would really think that not being able to drink alcohol would be a real life that would be worse than death.

Cao Zhi had already sat across from him, and was staring at him with a smile, his eyes were indescribably gentle and soft.

This 16-year-old boy is already very gentle.

Guo Jia coughed a few times involuntarily, and then said: "Guo Jia has a question in his mind, please let Fourth Young Master know."

He was not Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi didn't bother to play riddles, so he said straightforwardly: "Mr., do you want to ask why Cao Zhi saved Mr.?"

Guo Jia said nothing, just stared at Cao Zhi quietly.

When I saw Cao Zhi for the first time, I thought he was a very cute boy, and now he has become a handsome boy.It's a pity that the passage of time has turned his fun when he was young into the complexity of today.

He was thinking about these messy things in his mind, and he heard Cao Zhi say: "Of course it is because Mr. Cao Zhi is a close friend. How can Zhi Zhi not worry about the safety of his friend?"

His voice was as humble as ever, as if this was really the truth.

Guo Jia took a sip of warm water: "Although the third son believed it, I don't believe it."

Cao Zhi smiled: "So, what do you want to hear, sir?"

Guo Jia said slowly: "Are you telling the truth, or are you lying?"

Cao Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at his close eyes: "If you believe what Cao Zhi said, it is the truth; if you don't believe it, it is naturally a lie."

Guo Jia heard it, paused for a moment, and then coughed suddenly.

After he finished coughing, Fang was startled to realize that Cao Zhi had stood behind him, and even patted his back to comfort him.

They were so close that even speaking softly seemed to have the illusion of tenderness.

Guo Jia stared at him for a moment.He also had to admit that he couldn't see through this person.

Based on his friendship with Cao Zhi, is it worth racking his brains to save him?

The answer is obviously no.

So he didn't understand before, and he didn't take Cao Zhi's warning to heart.

Until Zhen Zhen couldn't get sick, until Zhen Zhen almost died, until Hua Tuo happened to go to Yizhou for a certain friend to see a doctor.

Why bother?

Guo Jia is just a lowly life, how can he be worth such a mobilization?

If he was just a friend of Cao Zhi, not a counselor beside Cao Cao, someone whom Cao Cao valued... Would Cao Zhi still go to such lengths to save him?

Even if you think about it, you won't.

The only explanation... so Cao Zhi has long coveted the position of the son?

Thinking of this conclusion, Guo Jia sighed slightly.Combined with the mediocrity and dullness of his childhood, he really can't think of anyone who can hide his strength and bide his time for so long, but seems to have no intention of revealing his extraordinaryness to their advisers.

For him, Yu Xunyu made Cao Cao have a very good impression, but he would never think that he showed his sharpness.

Will a child know how to draw slowly, will he know what it means that a tree is as beautiful as the forest, and the wind will destroy it?

Such scheming, is it really just a child?

Guo Jialue sighed slightly, with indescribable disappointment and indescribable helplessness.

It is naturally very pleasant and warm for a person to be cared for by his friends.However, if his friend had ulterior motives, the taste of it would be subtle and unspeakable.

Cao Zhi's complexion was also a little subtle.

——He hasn't explained anything yet, why does Guo Jia seem to understand?

Before Cao Zhi figured it out, Guo Jia said indifferently in this subtle feeling: "The kindness of saving life is unforgettable. From now on, the four sons will be used wherever they are useful...except for the position of the son, I will be determined to be there. No excuses."

Then, he saw the little boy opposite him widen his eyes slightly.

Cao Zhi finally understood.

It turns out that the person he likes actually thinks that he is getting close to him for the sake of being the son of the world?

Cao Zhi laughed.

He stared at Guo Jia's eyes, his eyes gradually softened.He used to find these eyes very attractive to him, and it seems to be the same now.

He didn't refute, but showed a harmless smile: "Except for the position of the son?"

Guo Jia carefully judged his expression, and for some reason suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He forced himself to suppress this feeling, and said indifferently: "Except for the position of the son."

Then, he saw the boy on the opposite side smiled and rolled his eyes.

"..." Guo Jia restrained her face and took a sip of warm water.

So, what's the deal with this ominous premonition?

When Cao Cao returned, he encountered a problem.

Because Cao Hong's family committed a crime, they were detained in the cell by the prefect of Xuchang.Cao Hong went to ask the prefect to raise his hand, but was locked out by the other party for two hours.

Cao Hong returned in a rage and asked Cao Cao to mediate.

Cao Cao readily agreed, and asked Cao Pi and others: "If this matter is entrusted to you, what will you do?"

Cao Zhang immediately said decisively: "His clan committed a capital crime, he should be beheaded!"

Cao Pi frowned.

When Cao Cao asked his opinion, Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao calmly.Seeing that there was not much expression on his face, he said cautiously: "It is well known that Cao Hong saved father's life seven years ago, how can father ignore his clan?"

Cao Cao nodded his head and sighed: "Pi'er is right, I think my father can't ignore it!"

Cao Zhang frowned tightly: "But my father once taught my son that the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, so how can we leave Cao Hong's family alone?"

Cao Cao glanced at him and laughed out loud: "You remember these things, how can you read and write poems for your father, just like killing you?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Cao Zhang's disheveled face, but instead asked Cao Zhi, "How about you, what can you do?"

Cao Zhi thought for a moment.

Since Cao Cao asked them, he must not want to release them, but unfortunately he had to order them to do so.Leave this kind of matter to Cao Chong.

He also shook his head.

Cao Cao sighed, and finally looked at Cao Chong: "Cang Shu, what do you think?"

Cao Chong said confidently: "Father, why don't you invite Cao Hong and the prefect to a banquet in the evening, and discuss this matter in detail."

Cao Cao smiled.

A gleam of coldness flashed across Cao Pi's eyes, and he quickly covered it up and smiled.

On the occasion of the banquet, the eunuch came late.Cao Cao asked why, and replied: Cao Hong's relatives have been beheaded.
