Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 676 Xi Zhicai’s decision
Xun You noticed the flash of shock in Cao Cao's eyes.

However, he no longer cared about it.

After handing the letter to Cao Cao, Xun You continued to stare at Xun Yu's remains motionlessly.

After Cao Cao took the letter, he opened it and took a quick look at it.

Looking at Xun Yu's words in the letter, Cao Cao looked a little dazed.

He even felt a little sour in his nose and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

Looking at Xun Yu lying on the bed, Cao Cao choked up and said, "Wen Ruo, my Wen Ruo"

He recalled every moment he had worked with Xun Yu.

However, he never thought that Xun Yu's nickname "Xiangjun" was actually given to him because of him!

What he didn't expect was that Xun Yu's sachet actually contained a poison that was lethal.

Looking at the servants helping Xun Yu wipe his body, Cao Cao lowered his head, his hand holding the letter paper trembling slightly.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?
If you had told me everything you had done earlier, why would I doubt you?

You are Xun Wenruo!
You are my Zhang Zifang!

As long as you speak, I will believe you!

Just as Cao Cao was staring at Xun Yu in a daze, another figure walked in.

It turned out to be Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai saw Cao Cao and Xun You standing beside the bed and nodded lightly at them.

After that, he ignored the two of them and went straight to the bed.

Seeing this, the servants who were helping Xun Yu wipe his body made some space for him.

Xi Zhicai walked a little closer.

He leaned over and stared at Xun Yu quietly.

After a while, he let out a long sigh.

His heart was filled with sadness.

Xun Yu realized it too late!

too late!
He has always been caught in a dilemma between the emperor and Cao Cao, but he never thought that neither of these two people is a wise leader.

The emperor always lives in his own world and cannot see the situation clearly.

Cao Cao will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

In Cao Cao's eyes, everyone is just a tool.

Otherwise, why would Chen Gong betray and leave?
If the general had not reminded me, I might have been terminally ill and died, and no one would have cared about me after my death.

And Cao Cao still lived a carefree life.

As an ambitious prince, he could live a carefree life without anyone.

But I am different.

As a subject, if I follow the wrong person, I will end up with nothing in my life.

Looking at Xun Yu's ferocious face, Xi Zhicai lowered his waist again, put his ear close to Xun Yu's ear, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Wen Ruo."

"I didn't leave before because you were still here."

"I still have some regrets, and I want to see how far you can go to help him."

"Now that you're gone, no one can escape his suspicion."

"I won't leave. It will be my turn soon."

"Anyone's head is tied to his waist. Whether to keep it or not depends on his thoughts."

"I cherish my life."

"I have to go."

"At least, I want to keep my life."

"I will not make wedding clothes for others and gain nothing for myself."

After saying that, Xi Zhicai gently kissed Xun Yu on the side of his face, stood up, solemnly bowed to Cao Cao and Xun You respectively, and then slowly retreated.

Neither Cao Cao nor Xun You noticed anything unusual about Xi Zhicai.

Xun You's full attention was still on Xun Yu.

Cao Cao relied on Xun You.

Xi Zhicai left the room where Xun Yu was and returned to the hall of Xun Mansion, where he stayed with Xun Yu's wife Tang and several children to welcome the guests.

After dark, Xi Zhicai quietly left Xun Mansion alone.

He did not return to his residence.

He took two guards with him and went straight out of the Xudu mansion.

In his early years, he accompanied Cao Cao and Xun Yu in their campaigns and had no chance to get married.

In recent years, he has deliberately not married. Sooner or later, he will leave.

Once you get married and have concerns, you will be constrained in everything.

Today is the day when Xun Lingjun Xun Yu died.

Even Man Chong, the governor of Xudu and commander-in-chief of the school affairs office, focused all his attention on the area near Xun Mansion.

Xi Zhicai easily passed the inspection of the city defense troops and exited the city through the south gate.

Under the moonlight, nearly ten miles away from Xudu City, Xi Zhicai lowered his head and continued on his way.

The guard beside him suddenly raised a vigilant voice and asked, "Who!"

Xi Zhicai suddenly became nervous, raised his head and looked in the direction the guard was looking.

I saw a carriage lying across the road not far ahead.

After the guard spoke, the curtain of the carriage opened and a hunched figure walked out.

Xi Zhicai cried out in amazement, "Mr. Jia, why are you here?"

The figure was none other than Jia Xu, who now served as the Minister of Works under Cao Cao.

However, on weekdays, Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai did not communicate much.

Jia Xu is the kind of person who can't utter a word for half a year.

When Jia Xu saw Xi Zhicai, he nodded slightly and said, "When I first arrived in Xudu, Lord Xun hosted a banquet for me."

"I once told him to be cautious and protect himself."

"Unfortunately, Xun Lingjun is too upright and too entangled."

"But you, a cunning rabbit with three burrows, have many ways to escape."

Xi Zhicai's expression changed slightly.

Looking around and seeing that there was no one else, Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed solemnly to Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Jia's kindness today will be remembered by me, Xi Zhicai."

Jia Xu smiled without comment and signaled the coachman to drive the carriage aside.

Xi Zhicai let out a sigh, called out to his two guards to follow him, and rushed off into the night.

Jia Xu watched Xi Zhicai disappear into the night and murmured, "He is a guest today, but a prisoner tomorrow."

"Success or failure is nothing but life, which is the most reliable thing."

"Xun Lingjun, you are too pessimistic after all."

"In this life, when it comes down to it, you are just a tangled person."

He turned his head and looked towards Xudu, sighing softly, "Xudu, how long can I stay here?"

Yecheng.

College.

Zhang Sui sat obediently in a room, looking ahead.

Right in front of him, Huang Yueying, a doctor, was drawing patterns on a wooden board with soot from the bottom of a pot.

In front of Huang Yueying, dozens of men of varying ages were kneeling.

Zhang Sui is in the middle.

On the left side of Zhang Sui, kneeling was a girl in her teens with two buns on her head.

The shadows of the lady and the second lady Zhen Mi can be vaguely seen on the girl's face.

The girl was none other than Zhen Rong, the fifth daughter of the Wuji Zhen family.

Next to Zhen Rong, Qin Lang was kneeling.

On the right side of Zhang Sui sat a young man wearing coarse linen clothes.

The young man had a dull look on his face, but his expression was extremely focused.

Huang Yueying paused at this point and said to everyone, "It's noon now. Today's class ends here. We will continue after lunch."

Only then did everyone get up.

Zhang Sui stood up, walked to Huang Yueying, supported Huang Yueying's arm, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so busy."

"You're already pregnant, take a few months off, who dares to say anything?"

Huang Yueying touched her slightly bulging belly and smiled, "It's okay."

"There are only a few people who are interested in studying tricks and ingenuity."

"If I take a few more months off, no one will study with me."

"Don't worry, I really feel overwhelmed. I will tell myself."

Zhang Sui felt helpless.

He waved to the young man with a dull look and said, "Deheng, come here!"
