In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

Yan Xing sighed.

"My lord." (In public, use "my lord.")

"Ma Chao was young and impetuous, and the loss of his father had distorted his mentality."

"Plus, Cao Cao's methods were indeed treacherous and insidious."

"It's about recognizing you as family again, and then there's butter."

"Ma Chao doesn't trust anyone anymore."

Han Sui was indignant; he had been putting up with Ma Chao for a long time.

"I think he wants to take over my troops!"

"He dared to point his finger at me and curse me today."

"He'll dare to draw his sword and attack me tomorrow!"

Han Sui grew angrier the more he thought about it.

"We're here to help him and avenge his father."

"What does he take us for?"

His gaze gradually turned cold.

"No!"

"This war cannot be fought."

"If we keep fighting, I'm afraid we'll be sleeping tonight..."

"He didn't die at Cao Cao's hands, but instead died at the hands of his own nephew."

Yan Xing understood the unspoken meaning in Han Sui's words.

"Does my lord mean...?"

"withdraw?"

Han Sui nodded.

"Yes, we need to leave ourselves a way out."

"This allied forces are now defunct in name only."

"Once there's a gap, it's a dead end."

Han Sui summoned all his generals to his side.

"Pass down the order."

"Have the brothers pack their valuables."

"Especially money and provisions."

"Keep an eye on Ma Chao's movements these next few days."

"If things turn sour, we'll leave and stop playing along."

"Back to Jincheng (Han Sui's stronghold)!"

"Let's ignore that crazy horse!"

"Let him play with Cao Cao by himself!"

Everyone nodded.

"This subordinate understands."

"I'll arrange it right away."

"only……"

Yan Xing had some questions.

"But what if we leave?"

"What if Cao Cao ignores Ma Chao and continues to hunt us down?"

Han Sui snorted.

"Cao Cao's primary target right now is Ma Chao; he is the one who will stand out in the entire Xiliang region."

"If we leave, Ma Chao will be all alone."

"Cao Cao will only focus on biting him."

"If he comes after us, I will personally cover our retreat, so you can rest assured."

The agreement has been reached.

Han Sui's mood calmed down a little.

Since the decision has already been made to sell out teammates.

Then there's no burden at all.

"Alright, everyone go and get ready."

……

It was around nightfall, just as darkness fell.

Outside the gate.

One man and one horse.

Zhao Yu.

No armor was worn.

He had a smug grin on his face.

He was carrying two things in his hands.

A mailbox and an oil paper package.

"Who goes there!"

The Xiliang soldiers guarding the camp shouted loudly.

"take it easy."

"I am Prime Minister Cao's special envoy."

"They came to deliver a gift to General Wenyue."

The soldier guarding the camp looked like a messenger, but he seemed vaguely familiar; I couldn't quite place him.

"What...what do you want to do?"

You'll find out soon enough.

"System, turn on the loudspeaker."

【Received, opened.】

Then, a commotion arose outside.

Even through the tent, it could be heard clearly.

Because Zhao Yu's voice was just too loud.

It has a built-in amplification effect.

"A special envoy from Prime Minister Cao!"

"I have come specifically to deliver a message to General Han Wenyue!"

Han Sui was startled.

"At this time?"

It's already dark.

"Why did Cao Cao send someone here?"

Before he could react...

The noise outside rose another octave.

They wanted the entire Xiliang camp to hear it.

"General Han!"

"My Prime Minister said so!"

"Our meeting in the middle of the Wei River that day was not very enjoyable."

"I feel like I haven't had enough!"

"A special letter of repair!"

"This is to share our innermost feelings with you!"

"The Prime Minister specifically instructed me to do so!"

"The contents of this letter are confidential; please open it personally!"

"Make sure it's well hidden!"

"Remember to eat this other thing while it's hot, and whatever you do, don't let any 'outsiders' see it!" (emphasis added)

To pour out their hearts to each other?

Don't let outsiders see it?

Yan Xing had already arrived, and his expression changed drastically.

"My lord, this..."

"If Ma Chao heard this..."

Han Sui's legs went weak.

"Cao Mengde!"

"Are you trying to kill me?!"

This is just like mud falling onto your crotch.

It can't be washed clean at all.

As for Zhao Yu, after he finished speaking and the mission was completed...

Zhao stuffed the things into the arms of the soldiers guarding the camp.

"Let's go!"

"No need to deliver it!"

The neighboring camp.

Ma Chao was sharpening his sword in his tent.

Hearing the shouts outside, he paused in his actions.

"To confide in each other?"

"Eat it while it's hot?"

"Still calling them 'outsiders'?"

"It couldn't be me, could it?"

"OK!"

"He tried to stop me during the day and undermine morale."

"The letters arrived that evening."

"The fox's tail has finally been revealed."

"Someone come here!"

"Gather the personal guards!"

"Go see my 'good uncle'."

"Just what kind of love letter did that traitor Cao Cao receive?!"

……

Then,

The two items were presented to us by the soldiers guarding the camp.

Han Sui accepted it.

A package wrapped in oil paper.

turn on.

A rock-hard block of butter.

It was the very pot of broth that Ma Chao had overturned during his hundred-day reign.

There was also a mailbox.

The inscription reads "Korean marriage proposal".

Han Sui's hand trembled.

"this……"

"Why are you giving me butter?"

"Let me eat it?"

Yan Xing, standing nearby, smelled that odor.

It took a while before I realized what was happening.

His expression changed drastically:

"My lord!"

"broken!"

"This thing just drove Ma Chao crazy during the day."

"Cao Cao delivered it to you that very evening."

"If Ma Chao saw this..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The curtain was lifted.

Ma Chao has arrived.

He arrived as soon as he heard the voice.

Ma Chao entered.

The attendants were all outside.

Hand on the hilt of the sword.

His nose twitched twice.

They instantly locked onto the oil paper package in Han Sui's hand.

"Where did you get that butter in your hand?"

Ma Chao's eyes immediately turned red.

"uncle."

"Is this Cao Cao's return gift to you?"

"butter?"

Han Sui panicked.

He subconsciously hid the butter behind his back.

But the smell was too strong to be hidden.

"Mengqi... don't rush, listen to me first."

"This is stolen goods."

"I don't eat this!"

Aren't you going to eat?

Ma Chao approached step by step, his aura so overwhelming that even Yan Xing, who was standing next to Han Sui, had to back away.

"If you're not going to eat it, why would that traitor Cao Cao specifically send it to you?"

"You want me to eat it while it's hot?"

Ma Chao lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the piece of butter.

If eyes were fire, the butter would have melted long ago.

"This is my dad's secret recipe!"

"That traitor Cao Cao cooked my father alive!"

"Now I'll give you a piece of the 'spoils' I got from my father!"

"Han Wenyue!"

"You still dare to say you haven't colluded with the enemy?"

"You've already gotten a share of the profits!"

"You're profiting from human suffering!"

Han Sui was speechless and unable to defend himself.

Holding that lump of oil in my hand, I didn't know whether to throw it away or not.

"I don't,"

"A person with an upright character has nothing to fear."

"That bastard Cao Cao tricked me."

"And that letter!"

Ma Chao's gaze moved downwards and landed on the envelope.

"The messenger called from outside the door."

"They said it was confidential."

"Give it to me!"

This time, Han Sui dared not refuse.

If you don't give it to them, then you have something to hide.

If I give it to them, perhaps I can still explain it.
