Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

Chapter 156 Guo Jia as a Persuader

Cao Cao, who was standing to the side, had been wanting to say something for a long time.

But he paused for a moment before he could finish speaking.

He recalled what Su Chen had just said.

If we were to praise Su Chen using his actual battle record at this moment...

At that time, Su Chen will not be granted any official title.

Let alone others, even Madam Ding would certainly not understand.

Just then, Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "Madam, don't you trust Sikong's judgment?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Ding was taken aback.

She naturally recognized Guo Jia and held him in high regard.

Seeing this, Guo Jia continued, "Madam, although Jingming holds no official position in the court..."

"But Jingming enjoys a very high reputation in the army."

"If Jingming were merely an incompetent person, how could he have received such a evaluation?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liao frowned slightly.

She came not to prevent Qinghe from marrying Su Chen.

After all, it was Cao Cao who made the decision.

How could she possibly control it?

"Sikong, I have only come to see my future husband. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After a brief bow, Madam Ding turned and left.

Seeing this, Qinghe had no choice but to follow.

Cao Cao sighed softly and said, "Qinghe cares too much about what her mother thinks."

"I can control this matter, but someone needs to find a solution to this problem."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly: "Sikong, shall I go?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "How can you go?"

"Jingming, what did you say when you went there?"

"Praising yourself as incredibly capable, a true talent?"

Su Chen immediately chuckled and said, "It's alright, I'm thick-skinned, it doesn't matter."

"Whether Madam will listen to this is another matter."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and clicked his tongue, saying, "If someone happens to be famous..."

"And it just so happens that I can speak well of you."

Su Chen, with his hands clasped in his pockets, asked, "Then, Minister Sikong, would you like to go?"

Cao Cao raised an eyebrow: "How can this be?"

The two of them sang in unison.

Guo Jia, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and cry, saying, "Sikong, Jingming."

"I think I understand."

"If you want me to leave, just say so."

"What's going on—are you putting on an act here?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Fengxiao, did you say that?"

"I've noticed that you and Jingming have a very good relationship."

"It is very good that you will go today."

Su Chen also looked at Guo Jia with a solemn expression and said, "Brother Fengxiao."

"Brother, my future happiness depends entirely on you."

Hearing this, Guo Jia said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Jingming, there's something strange about the way you're talking."

"Never mind, Jingming is talented."

"My trip this time was not exactly a deception of the lady."

After saying that, Guo Jia turned to leave.

"Cough cough cough."

But then he started coughing again.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Guo Jia.

Fortunately, Guo Jia's cold was not serious.

It's just an occasional dry cough.

The description of his illness before his death is quite different from the historical accounts.

Otherwise, he would be having trouble even standing up now.

"Brother Fengxiao, I won't let you do this for nothing."

After saying that, Su Chen put his hands in his pockets and said, "I can help you cure your cold."

"I won't say it'll cure everything, but I guarantee you'll be coughing again in just a few days."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia's expression changed: "You also know medicine?"

Cao Cao, who was listening nearby, was quite surprised: "Jingming also knows medicine?"

Su Chen waved his hand: "I know a little bit, curing a cold is nothing."

"Don't worry, back in our day, a cold was a minor illness."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia was skeptical.

Even if it didn't cure his cold, he still intended to help Su Chen with this favor.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries...

He then strode away.

Meanwhile, in a pavilion somewhere in the Sikong Mansion.

"Mother----"

Seeing that Madam Ding's expression was not good, Qinghe wanted to say something.

But I didn't know how to start the conversation.

"If he truly possessed ability, how could he be merely a registrar?"

"I wonder what Sikong is thinking."

Madam Ding sighed softly and began to speak.

She was different from Lady Bian, who would later follow Cao Cao.

Madam Ding was outspoken and said whatever came to mind.

Even so, there were still some things that could not be said in front of Cao Cao.

"Mother, didn't Mr. Fengxiao also say that he is not as bad as you think?"

Qinghe couldn't help but speak up, "When I first met you, sir, I was immediately captivated by your literary talent."

"His literary talent is in no way inferior to his father's."

"How could he be a mediocre person?"

"Mother, don't listen to your elder brother's nonsense."

At this point, Qinghe felt an urge to slap Cao Ang twice.

I have no idea what's wrong with my older brother.

She had to speak ill of Su Chen in front of her mother.

Unable to gain Madam Ding's approval, Qinghe was somewhat sullen.

"lady."

Just then, a maidservant rushed over and whispered, "Master Fengxiao requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ding was taken aback: "Please."

Soon, Guo Jia walked over slowly, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I greet you, Madam."

"What brings you here, Mr. Fengxiao?"

Madam Ding asked with some doubt.

She still respected Guo Jia very much.

After all, he made considerable contributions after following Cao Cao.

"Madam, I have come on behalf of my friend Jingming."

Guo Jia spoke frankly: "Does Madam feel that Jingming, without an official position, will only neglect Miss in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Ding frowned: "Exactly."

"But this was arranged by Sikong, so what can I do about it?"

She naturally wouldn't try to hide it.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and asked, "Does Madam know how Jingming came to serve under the Minister of Works?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Ding was taken aback: "I don't know."

She wasn't with Cao Cao at that time, so how could she have known?

Guo Jia spoke up: "Jingming is not from the Central Plains."

Madam Ding raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that Jingming is a foreigner?!"

Guo Jia was taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. Jingming comes from Penglai Immortal Island."

"On Penglai Island, I received guidance from an immortal."

Therefore, Jingming can foresee the future.

"His first words upon arriving here saved the young master's life."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ding's expression immediately changed.

Zixiu?

Is this matter also related to Zixiu?

Madam Ding cared about nothing but her children.

Although Cao Ang was not her biological son, she always treated him as her own.

Now that Guo Jia has said so, how could she not be excited?

"Sir, please explain in detail."

Madam Ding immediately spoke with a serious expression.

"When Jingming came here, he predicted that Sikong would definitely fight Zhang Xiu in Wancheng."

"He bluntly stated that Zhang Xiu harbored rebellious intentions."

""

"And the eldest son and General Dian will perish in this battle."

Guo Jia said with a serious expression.

Since he wasn't lying, he naturally felt no guilt.

However, compared to something as outrageous as time travel...

The idea that she came from the Penglai Immortal Island was more likely to be accepted by Madam Ding.
