Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 220: Wood that is as beautiful as Lin Feng will be destroyed!

Cao Chong raised his head and said confidently: "At this moment, we are just sacrificing our lives for others. Killing them will have no effect, and there will even be another assassination."

"If you want to avoid assassinations, you have to stop them at the source. That is to find the people behind the assassins, let them go back, and tell the people behind the scenes how terrible my father is."

"This way, no one will dare to assassinate my father again!"

Cao Cao was extremely satisfied with this answer and kept stroking the top of Cao Chong's head. His attitude was completely different from when he faced Cao Pi and the others.

"Hahaha, Chong'er is really smart. I like this method very much, so I will do as you say!"

Cao Chong replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It's all father's teachings. The child still has many things to learn from his father."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and patted Cao Chong's shoulder heavily.

"well said!"

Then he looked at the other sons, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"You guys, when you encounter problems, don't just fight and kill, learn more from your brothers, and take a long-term view of the problem!"

Cao Pi and the other two hurriedly replied: "I understand, father."

Cao Cao loved Cao Chong very much, so he directly brought Cao Chong to Ye Fan.

"Sir, you see my son is so smart, can I let him stay with me?"

His intention was very obvious, that is, he wanted Ye Fan to become Cao Chong's teacher.

At this time, Cao Pi and others also set their sights on Ye Fan. When they saw an unfamiliar face, and Cao Cao treated him so politely, they all guessed Ye Fan's identity.

Cao Pi was definitely the most anxious when he saw this scene. If Ye Fan really agreed to be Cao Chong's teacher, what else would he have to do?

Even Cao Chong was full of expectations at this moment.

But Ye Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, waving his hands and saying: "Prime Minister, I have many people to serve me, and I am used to being undisciplined. I am afraid I will neglect the young master."

How could Cao Cao not hear Ye Fan's evasiveness, and suddenly felt a little surprised. It seemed that Ye Fan's move had a deep meaning, so he did not force it.

"In that case, let's talk about it later. It will take a long time anyway."

Cao Chong's eyes were a little disappointed, while Cao Pi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, all of you, please step back. Let's do what Chong'er said about the assassin."

Cao Pi and others saluted one after another.

"Yes, father."

……

In the hall, Cao Cao and Ye Fan sat opposite each other. There was no one else around them at this time.

"Sir, why did you refuse today? My son Cao Chong is very smart and alert. Doesn't it mean that my son doesn't like me?"

Ye Fan quickly shook his head and explained: "The Prime Minister has misunderstood. Naturally, I am very optimistic about Young Master Cao Chong, but the Young Master is still young. I wonder if the Prime Minister has ever heard of the truth that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind?"

This was as close as telling Cao Cao that if Cao Chong was so prominent, something might happen.

But Cao Cao looked unbelieving and threatened: "Everyone knows that Cao Chong is my favorite son. Who dares to do anything against him?"

"Sir, don't worry. I will naturally send someone to protect Chong'er. But if you don't want to accept a disciple for the time being, I won't force you."

Only then did Ye Fan cup his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, Prime Minister."

As for other things, he didn't say much. royal palace.

The news of Cao Cao's assassination at the city gate had already reached the palace. When he learned that Cao Cao was safe and sound, Liu Xie immediately panicked.

If Cao Cao knew that he was instigating this matter, according to Cao Cao's character, who knows how terrible things he would do.

Even the old eunuch who arranged this moment for him was panicked. After all, he had learned from the past that Dong Guiren was executed while still pregnant. As an eunuch, he was afraid that his end would be even worse.

But the strange thing is that Cao Cao didn't come all day yesterday, as if nothing happened.

Such calm made Liu Xie and the old eunuch even more panicked. They didn't even sleep all night and got together early in the morning to discuss countermeasures.

"Didn't you say that the assassination operation was foolproof?" Liu Xie's tone was trembling slightly.

The old eunuch knelt on the ground in fear, almost crying.

"Your Majesty, the assassin did succeed, but who knew that Cao Cao was not in the chariot, and even broke away from the army and returned from the west gate alone."

Liu Xie immediately gritted his teeth: "What a treacherous Cao Cao! Sure enough, it's not so easy to kill him!"

"But, what should we do next? If Cao Cao finds out that he is the assassin I hired, he will definitely harm me!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel fear, his eyes filled with despair.

When Dong Zhuo controlled the government, he even directly deposed the Young Emperor before supporting him as Emperor Xian to ascend the throne.

Cao Cao was no weaker than Dong Zhuo at the time, and was even more powerful. Even if he killed him, he could still calm things down secretly and support another emperor.

But the old eunuch shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. Those assassins did not fall into Cao Cao's hands. They had already hidden the poison before taking action, and they all died."

"For those assassins who escaped, Cao Cao even sent people to open the city gate and let them go, so Cao Cao didn't even know it was us."

Hearing this, Liu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart still couldn't calm down.

At this moment, a young eunuch came to Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao has an audience."

Liu Xie's heart suddenly thumped, but he quickly pretended to be calm and waved his hand: "Let the Prime Minister come in."

They were not as serious as in the imperial study room. Cao Cao walked in directly and bowed his hands to Liu Xie.

"Cao Cao has met your Majesty."

Although he saluted, he did not kneel down. This was a privilege granted to Cao Cao by Liu Xie.

"My dear, you have worked so hard to pacify the four directions. This time when I return to the court, please be sure to have a good rest in the city, so as not to exhaust your body."

"I am counting on the Prime Minister."

After hearing the compliment, Cao Cao didn't seem too happy. He just stood there and started to report what he had done during this period.

From the pacification of Jingzhou to the Battle of Chibi, he experienced a lot, and Cao Cao only made routine reports.

But after he finished speaking, he changed the topic and stared at Liu Xie's face.

"Your Majesty, when I returned, I was assassinated by assassins. These people are so audacious."

The last few words were almost shouted, making Liu Xie's body tremble suddenly.

But he soon forced himself to show a concerned smile and said repeatedly: "I also heard about this incident. I am really heartbroken. Someone actually wants to do harm to the Prime Minister. Is this trying to destroy our Han Dynasty? "
