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

Chapter 157 Good Brother Guo Fengxiao

"Is what you say true, sir?"

Madam Ding looked at Guo Jia with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Although she still trusted Guo Jia to a certain extent.

But these words are truly baffling.

It didn't even sound like something Guo Jia would say.

"Whether it's true or false, Madam can find out by investigating in the camp."

"Or you could ask the eldest son directly."

Guo Jia smiled slightly.

Madam Ding's expression turned somewhat serious.

She found it hard to believe Guo Jia's words.

"Mother?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

The speaker was none other than Cao Ang.

Seeing the three of them discussing matters in the pavilion, Cao Ang asked with some confusion, "Your son greets Mother."

"What's going on with Military Advisor Guo here?"

Madam Ding was taken aback at first, then asked, "Zixiu, just now Military Advisor Guo said that Chief Clerk Su is from Penglai Immortal Island."

"When you entered the camp, I said that you and General Dian would face a calamity in Wancheng."

"I later rescued you two in Wancheng."

Are you aware of this matter?

Now that Cao Ang had arrived, Madam Ding naturally sought confirmation directly.

Cao Ang was clearly taken aback.

Penglai Immortal Island?

What does this mean?

But he soon understood what Guo Jia meant.

After all, it was obviously impossible to get Madam Ding to accept such an absurd premise as a "time traveler".

"Indeed."

After much deliberation, Cao Ang finally nodded in agreement.

After all, that's the truth.

Although Cao Ang did not initially think Su Chen was right.

They thought it was just pure luck.

But now, he has completely changed his mind.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

If Su Chen hadn't predicted it beforehand and made preparations accordingly.

Not to mention himself and Dian Wei, even his father would probably perish in Wancheng.

Jia Xu's plan is insidious because it can kill in one fell swoop, without any hesitation.

"If that's the case, then why did you tell me before that Chief Clerk Su was a mediocre person?"

Madam Ding's expression immediately turned sour.

Cao Ang was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

You can't exactly say that you just made it up because you didn't want Qinghe to get married, can you?

When Madam Ding saw the silent Cao Ang, she quickly understood everything.

She looked at Guo Jia apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Military Advisor Guo."

"Please ask Strategist Guo to convey my gratitude to Mr. Su."

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for saving Ang'er's life."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "I will certainly convey your words to you."

Since Madam Ding said so, it means that her mission has been completed.

For Madam Ding, nothing and no one was more important than Cao Ang and Cao Qinghe.

She was deeply moved to learn that Su Chen had averted Cao Ang's calamity.

I never imagined that the person I had always looked down on would actually be so powerful!

So much so that the way Su Chen was addressed changed from "Secretary Su" to "Mr. Su".

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

""

Seeing that the mission was accomplished, Guo Jia cupped his hands in greeting.

He was still suffering from a slight cold.

It would be better to go back and rest early.

She also told Su Chen the good news.

However, before Guo Jia could finish speaking, Madam Ding said, "Military Advisor Guo, please wait."

"I have another question, and I would like to ask Strategist Guo to answer it."

"Speak freely about anything you know."

Guo Jia stopped and spoke.

"Since Mr. Su is so talented..."

Why was Sikong unwilling to grant him official rank and title?

Madam Ding asked in bewilderment, "I have never heard of any connection between his merits and those in the Battle of Wancheng."

Why is that?

Madam Ding really didn't understand.

She knew how much Cao Cao valued talent.

Since that's the case, why not give Su Chen a minor position as a registrar?

Wouldn't that break his heart?

"Madam, Jingming is no ordinary man."

Guo Jia seemed to have anticipated that Madam Ding would ask this question.

He smiled calmly and slowly explained, "Jingming is from Penglai Immortal Island and has never been interested in fame or fortune."

Even if they have made contributions, they are unwilling to accept any official position.

Madam Ding was immediately stunned: "Then why did he stay in the camp?"

"If that's the case, why not return to the mountains and forests and live a carefree life like a hermit?"

Lady Ding had met hermits before.

Su Chen's behavior was like that of a hermit.

Why come out of seclusion?

There are too many things that have left her puzzled today.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and looked at Cao Qinghe behind Madam Ding, saying, "This matter is mainly due to Miss Qinghe."

"The main reason Jingming stayed here was because of Miss Qinghe."

97

At this, Cao Qinghe's face immediately flushed pink.

Sir—did you choose to stay in the camp for your own sake?!

This answer surprised and delighted her.

Madam Ding's expression also became quite subtle.

"Excellent, excellent."

Madam Ding's previous worried expression vanished, and she immediately smiled: "In that case, I must discuss the marriage arrangement between the two of us with Sikong as soon as possible."

"Qinghe, you and Jingming are truly a match made in heaven."

Madam Ding's attitude has now completely changed.

She hadn't realized that she had underestimated Su Chen.

They also greatly underestimated how much he cared about Qinghe.

Lady Ding originally thought that the marriage agreement between the two was just a tactic employed by Cao Cao.

Perhaps it's because Su Chen possesses something Cao Cao desires.

But to my surprise, that wasn't the case.

Su Chen was only doing this for Qinghe.

With that, she was completely relieved.

In this way, even if Qinghe marries Su Chen, she will not suffer any unfair treatment.

And then there is————

Look at Qinghe now, she's acting like a spoiled little girl.

Mrs. Ding knew her daughter very well.

If I continue to hold a grudge about my official position...

I'm afraid it will only hurt Qinghe's feelings.

"Thank you for your understanding, Madam."

"Then I will go and report back."

Upon seeing this, Guo Jia smiled calmly and turned to leave.

Cao Ang, standing to the side, felt a mix of emotions.

He admired Su Chen and wished he could become sworn brothers with him.

However, he still found it hard to accept being Su Chen's brother-in-law.

Meanwhile, Guo Jia leisurely made his way towards the study in the Sikong Mansion.

"Jingming, oh Jingming."

You owe me a drink.

As he spoke, Guo Jia felt much more at ease.

Guo Jia truly regarded Su Chen as a close friend.

Just as Guo Jia was about to enter the study.

Suddenly, he stopped.

His entire body began to tilt slightly.

For some reason, Guo Jia felt dizzy and disoriented.

My vision gradually darkened.

"This is----"

Guo Jia was startled and realized something was wrong.

Clearly, this is most likely caused by a cold!

"Bang!"

However, before he could recover, Guo Jia could no longer hold on.

He fell heavily to the ground.

"Fengxiao, Fengxiao?!"
