Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103
The night is getting dark, and the moon is on the west building.

Above the Wanfu lobby, the lights were still brightly lit, and the noise continued unabated.Du Ji, Wan Qian, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang and others knelt anxiously on the mat.They looked restless, silent, and looked out of the hall from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

Soon, in the cold night outside the hall, a person walked in. This person was as big as a bear, with a resolute face and eyes as big as copper bells. It was Dian Wei.

As soon as Dian Wei came in, the eyes of everyone in the hall lit up, and at the same time, there was joy on their faces.Others were reserved, but Xu Chu stood up straight away, patted Dian Wei on the broad shoulders, and asked loudly, "What's the matter, have you begged Duke Cao?"

"Oh!" Dian Wei didn't reply, sighed, shook his head, and sat down in a muffled voice.As soon as he didn't speak, he didn't feel anything, but Xu Chu was very anxious.

Xu Chu couldn't help but ran up to him, and asked impatiently, "You tell me, what's the situation? Is it because Mr. Cao is unwilling to let the general go? Could it be that the bridge family's influence is really that great?"

Seeing that Xu Chu was in such a hurry, Dian Wei raised his head to look at him, and then said softly, "Mr. Cao has been bored in the mansion for the past few days. Not only did he not go to court in the morning, but he also didn't even see the ministers. I have no way to intercede."

"This..." Wan Qian couldn't help hesitating when he heard Dian Wei's words.

But before Wan Qian could speak, Du Ji first said: "Looking at Cao Gong's practice like this, you should know how much he blames himself. Even if he comes to plead for mercy, it's probably nothing."

"That's true. Duke Cao rarely felt so sad in his life, and that was the time when his father died in Xudu. Alas, Yanzhang is really mysterious this time." Wan Qian said with a wry smile and shook his head, extremely disappointed.

As soon as Wan Qian finished speaking, the entire lobby became quiet, except for the sound of burning oil lamps.

After a long time, seeing that everyone was silent, Dian Wei said hesitantly: "Are you thinking too seriously, you have to try to know. How about this, I will go to Sikong Mansion to see Mr. Cao tonight."

When Dian Wei said this, even though Xu Chu and the others had no hope in their hearts, their eyes lit up involuntarily.But Du Ji and Wan Qian looked at each other and smiled wryly.

After a wry smile, Du Ji said to Wan Qian: "It seems that we can only pin our hopes on Dong Cheng, alas, I don't know if he can..."

"Forget it, don't think about it too much, we can only do this, if Yanzhang is really... that's fate!" Wan Qian said as if accepting his fate, but in fact he was very sad in his heart, but he didn't show it That's all.

After sitting for a while, Dian Wei suddenly stood up and said to everyone: "It's getting late, I'm going to Sikong Mansion."

"Well, let's go!" Xu Chu nodded towards him, his eyes shining with hope.The others were also refreshed, and looked at Dian Wei with all eyes.Even Du Ji and Wan Qian, who said they had no hope, couldn't help looking at Dian Wei.

But how to put it, it is always a road. Who knows if it won't work if you haven't walked it?

Dian Wei also nodded to everyone, and then rushed into the night without hesitation.He got on his horse and galloped towards Sikong Mansion in the face of the biting cold wind.

"Hurry up and report that Dian Wei has something to see." Soon, Dian Wei came to Sikong Mansion, and said to the guards in a deep voice.The guards recognized Dian Wei, so if they dared to say anything more, they reported it immediately.After a while, he came back with Cao Cao's order to let him in.

Without saying a word, Dian Wei handed over the horse to the guards, and strode into Sikong Mansion.

"Come on, what's the matter so late?" Cao Cao, with a ruddy complexion and wearing pajamas, met Dian Wei in the side room.

As soon as Dian Wei came up, he knelt down on one knee without saying a word.

Seeing him kneeling down, Cao Cao was surprised, and quickly helped Dianwei up, but he couldn't help Dianwei at all, so he had no choice but to ask, "What are you doing? Kneel down?"

Dian Wei knelt motionless, remained silent for a long time again, and then said softly: "Cao Gong, Yan Zhang is still young and ignorant, please let him go."

When Cao Cao heard Dian Wei's words, he sighed and stopped helping him, but sat down by himself.After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "It's evil, if Zixiao kills your best friend, and I come to intervene, will you let Zixiao go?"

Dian Wei heard Cao Cao's words, raised his head to look at Cao Cao, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak the words after all.His Dianwei temperament determined that he would not let it go, and also determined that he would not say yes against his conscience.Of course, even if he said yes, Cao Cao would not believe it. How could Cao Cao not know Dian Wei's character.

"Mr. Cao, you really can't let Yanzhang go?" Dian Wei couldn't speak, so he could only ask dully.

Cao Cao shook his head, and said earnestly again: "If evil comes, Liu Yu will die no matter whether he acts privately or publically."

"Well, Elai knows, then... Mr. Cao, let's rest, Elai will go down first." Dian Wei was expressionless, with a trace of grief flashing in his eyes, but he still said in a soft voice.

In fact, Dian Wei and Liu Yu didn't have any friendship at all, and they met only because of Gao Meng.But Dian Wei was not a good friend, so he always treats his friends generously. In addition, Liu Yu admires and is honest with him, so he naturally regards Liu Yu as a friend.Therefore, he was so sad when he heard Cao Cao's words.But he is different from ordinary people, the more he grieves, the more silent he becomes.

After Dian Wei said that, he retreated without waiting for Cao Cao to speak.He was silent all the way, even if he met Xun Yu on the way, he didn't say a word, and he didn't even reply to the other party's greeting.

Xun Yu looked at Dian Wei's back, and was not angry that Dian Wei ignored him.He shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Evil comes with too much love, and you will die from love."

What he said was correct, but he probably didn't expect that he himself died of loyalty.

After sighing, Xun Yu turned his gaze to Sikong Mansion, and strode in.

"It's really strange today, why did you come one after another?" Cao Cao motioned Xun Yu to sit down, and then teased him.

But Xun Yu couldn't laugh, and said directly: "Sikong, Yu was entrusted by someone to come to intercede for Liu Yu."

"I just talked about this matter when I was evil, why don't you talk about it, can you say something else?" Cao Cao rubbed his head in distress, as if he had another headache.

Xun Yu waved his hands and said with a helpless smile, "Mr. Wan begged me for help, but I can't help it."

In fact, Xun Yu knew that Cao Cao had no intention of letting Liu Yu go.This is not only because Cao Cao misses the past and wants to give Qiao Gong an explanation, but also because he can't break the laws he made.Especially at this time, once he makes a mistake, he is likely to stumble.On the contrary, there are many benefits for him to kill Liu Yu, not only to rectify the law, but also to kill chickens and monkeys.

"Okay, Wen Ruo, don't bring up this matter again, let's talk about other things." Cao Cao said in one sentence, obviously telling Xun Yu that this matter has been decided, so don't talk about it any more.

Xun Yu is not stupid, so he naturally knew what Cao Cao meant, so he didn't mention it again.That's right, he has no friendship with Liu Yu at all, and the reason why he pleads is because of Wan Qian's face, so if Cao Cao disagrees, he will naturally stop talking.

After what happened just now, Xun Yu started to say some important things, and Cao Cao finally listened seriously.

While Cao Cao was talking with Xun Yu, Dian Wei finally came to Wanfu.

He was expressionless and silent.

After coming in, he didn't care about everyone's hopeful gazes, and just sat down.After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Grand Cao, I refused!"

After speaking, he fell silent again.

As for Xu Chu and the others, their eyes darkened, and they let out a long sigh.As for Du Ji and Wan Qian, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly, as if to say that it was so.

"Okay, come on, I don't blame you for this matter, and you don't have to blame yourself." Although Xu Chu was disappointed, he still said to Dian Wei, because he saw Dian Wei's loss.

Dian Wei didn't reply, and remained silent.Everyone didn't know what to say, and fell silent for a moment.

Above the lobby, the atmosphere is dull, only the faint sound of burning oil lamps.

Suddenly, a servant came in, and he said respectfully to Wan Qian: "Master, there is a man outside who claims to be a slave of the Dong Mansion, and he says he has something important to tell you."

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, and they couldn't help looking at the servant with fiery eyes, which made him tremble with fright.

After Wan Qian was stunned for a moment, he immediately said excitedly: "Quick, bring him in."
