Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 592: Peace in the World?

"You killed His Majesty?"

Zhen Mi seemed really calm, and there was no ripple in her tone.

Xing Daorong won't take the blame for this.

He immediately said: "Cao Pi committed suicide by hitting his head against a pillar."

As he said this, seeing that Zhen Mi had an indifferent and expressionless look on her face, he thought to himself that this person might be ready to die with Cao Pi for love.

Then he said, "Madam, please follow me now. My Majesty has always been kind and benevolent. Even if you are in the harem, you can still find a way out in your life."

After these words were spoken, Zhen Mi's face finally showed some emotional changes.

Suddenly, a baby's cry was heard from the house.

Only then did Xing Daorong discover that there was a baby sleeping soundly on Zhen Mi's bed.

He was awakened by the noise and was crying loudly.

Zhen Mi’s son... seems to be Cao Rui!
Just as Xing Daorong was thinking this, he saw Zhen Mi hurriedly turned around and left, holding the young Cao Rui tightly in her arms.

But she saw her fingers gently stroking the child's cheek, her fingertips trembling slightly, but she did not dare to let the child in her arms notice it at all.

Cao Rui was sleeping soundly, his little face pressed against her chest, his breathing even, as if all the disputes in the world had nothing to do with him.

Xing Daorong's mind was also a little mixed at this moment.

Although I have to be lenient, I don't know if keeping Cao Pi's biological son will be a disaster...

Thinking this in his mind, Xing Daorong deliberately stood in front of Zhen Mi, holding a long sword in his hand, the blade shining coldly in the sunlight.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring straight at Zhen Mi, as if trying to find a flaw in her expression.

However, there was no fear or pleading on Zhen Mi's face, only a calm determination, like a bottomless lake, without ripples.

"Madam, please hand over the heir of the Cao family to me." Xing Daorong's voice was low and unquestionable. "You should know that there is no room for maneuver in today's matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone pulling on his side.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Huaman who had been following him all the way, staring at him with bulging eyes.

Obviously he was very dissatisfied with his arrangement.

Huaman is still kind-hearted after all, and cannot bear to see the mother and son separated.

Although Cao Rui is young, he is Cao Pi's eldest son after all. Today, the world is peaceful, and we really don't want to kill any more people.

The people have had a hard time after decades of chaos.

Since controlling Cao Rui can bring peace to the world, we should be ruthless.

But Zhen Mi was obviously unwilling to part with Cao Rui.

But he raised his eyes slightly, his gaze was as clear as water, but it revealed a tenacity that could not be ignored.

She gently patted Cao Rui in her arms, as if to comfort him, and as if to comfort herself.

The voice was soft, but every word was clear: "General Xing, Cao Rui is just an ignorant child. What crime has he committed? Why do you insist on separating me from him today?"

Xing Daorong frowned and paused the knife in his hand.

He had never expected that this usually gentle and weak lady could be so calm and composed at the critical moment of life and death.

There was no pleading in her tone, only an unquestionable firmness, as if she had already put life and death aside.

"Madam, why are you doing this?" Xing Daorong's voice was filled with hesitation. "Although Cao Rui is young, he is of Cao's bloodline. Even if Your Majesty is kind and raising him alone is a great gift. If you insist on following him, you will become a disaster in the future!"

Zhen Mi shook her head gently, her eyes still as calm as water: "General, Cao Rui is just a child. He doesn't understand power and hatred. If you are willing to let him go today, I am willing to swear for the rest of my life that I will never let Cao Rui set foot in the court. I only hope that he can grow up safely and be an ordinary person."

"I've always heard that the general is a kind-hearted person, but do you have to make things difficult for a baby today?" Zhen Mi turned the tables.

Hua Man, who was standing beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Oh, it's just a toddler, there's nothing to worry about!"

"If you're really worried, just live in Nanzhong."

What Huaman said does make some sense.

Now that the world is settled, there will always be a place for Zhen Mi and her son to live. They don't have to be separated.

Xing Daorong was silent for a moment, and the knife in his hand slowly dropped.

Looking at Zhen Mi, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Thinking about the beauty of that year, who had now become a queen with such grace and composure, he was unable to make a move for a moment.

After thinking for a while, Xing Daorong finally said, "Madam, I can let Cao Rui go for now. But if he makes any unusual moves in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhen Mi nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, General, for your help."

Xing Daorong then asked someone to bring the two men along and follow him.

Such scenes could be seen everywhere as Xing Daorong swept through the harem.

However, being able to survive in the palace of a defeated army is already a good thing. Being captured alive is also a good result.

As for what the subsequent ending will be, it is purely a matter of fate.

...

Ye City was captured and Cao Pi was killed in battle.

Cao Wei was thus destroyed!

The night was as dark as ink, and the city walls of Yecheng looked particularly desolate under the moonlight.

However, at this moment, the city was a completely different scene. Torches were blazing, lighting up the entire city, and cheers, laughter, and drums and music were intertwined, as if they were about to tear apart the silent night sky.

Zhuge Liang stood on the city wall, gently waving a feather fan and looking into the distance with deep eyes.

There wasn't much joy on his face, but instead a hint of fatigue.

After years of fighting, they finally came to an end at this moment.

He sighed softly and whispered to himself: "Peace in the world and a safe life for the people are what I wish for in my life."

The servant beside him handed him a glass of sake. Zhuge Liang took it and drank it slowly. As the wine went down his throat, it tasted bitter with a hint of sweetness.

In the square under the city, Guan Yu stood among a group of soldiers, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. His red face and long beard looked particularly majestic in the firelight.

At this moment, he raised his glass high and said in a loud voice: "Today, Yecheng was captured, Cao Pi was killed, and the world was united. All this is due to the bravery of all the soldiers! Guan, please toast to everyone!"

Zhang Fei on the other side was already drunk with his face flushed, and his rough laughter was particularly loud among the crowd.

He held the wine jar in one hand and patted the shoulder of the soldier beside him with the other hand, shouting: "It's great! It's really fucking great! Cao Pi, that brat, is usually very arrogant, but today he finally met his fate! Come on, brothers, drink more!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine, which dripped down his beard, looking unrestrained and uninhibited.

The soldiers around him were also infected by his emotion and they raised their glasses to drink, making the scene very lively.

As for Ma Chao, he was already drunk and unconscious.

Everything was settled, revenge was achieved, Ma Chao was so drunk that he fell into a dream, and told his father that he had avenged them all!
Only…

Xing Daorong looked at everything, but it seemed a little unreal...
