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

"What does Wenhe mean by that?"

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard this.

What, Mr.?

But he soon understood what Jia Xu meant.

"You mean, let Su Chen come?"

Cao Cao's face showed no emotion.

He frowned slightly and looked Jia Xu up and down.

What a clever tactic of shifting the blame!

However, everyone in the room understood Jia Xu's meaning, but remained silent.

Clearly, they had no other options.

Jia Xu's sudden mention of Su Chen is simply because he has no other choice.

He didn't say it explicitly, but it was clear to everyone that he couldn't do it either.

Since neither of us can do it, then no one can criticize the other.

Xun Yu and the others, however, were taken aback.

They all knew that Su Chen was about to marry Qinghe and join the Cao family.

Isn't that going to offend him?

Even if Su Chen didn't think anything of it, Cao Cao would definitely disagree.

"Exactly."

Jia Xu, without batting an eye, said in a deep voice:

"This method was devised by Mr. Su."

"If we don't change the rules now, we might as well consult Mr. Su."

"He should have had a countermeasure in place before setting up this method."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have stated this challenge so directly."

Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

When everyone was at a loss for what to do, Su Chen made this suggestion.

However, now they say that the suggestion is too difficult and no one can do it.

Since that's the case, should we still ask Su Chen?

Jia Xu could swallow his pride and say such things, but Cao Cao couldn't.

What if Su Chen gets angry and runs away if we treat him like this?

Such a fine son-in-law, yet he also has a mysterious veil of time travel.

I'm afraid we'll never see another one like it again.

"Sikong, I am not asking Mr. Su to take on this challenge himself."

"I was just listening to his advice."

Jia Xu sighed softly and began to explain.

He's completely out of options right now.

He has some ideas when it comes to offering advice.

But this is about how to live frugally.

Jia Wenhe is an extreme egoist; would he have any insights into this kind of thing?

If even Su Chen can't do it, then indeed no one else can.

"Father, Father!"

However, before Cao Cao could say anything...

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the door.

Immediately afterward, Cao Ang rushed in excitedly, panting and bowing, saying:

"Father, there's news! There's news!"

"Just now, someone tore down the sign and accepted the challenge!"

Cao Cao originally wanted to reprimand Cao Ang for not being composed enough.

However, upon hearing this, he immediately stood up:

"What?!"

"Who is it?"

"Is it someone from the Yang family or the Sima family?"

Cao Cao didn't even consider it and directly brought up the names of these two prominent aristocratic families.

It should be noted that, looking at the entire Xudu, these two families are considered to be long-established aristocratic clans.

In this situation, if they don't dare to step forward, who else would dare to?

Cao Ang shook his head and said:

"No, it's Mr. Su!"

"Mr. Su just tore down the notice."

This action immediately alarmed all the noble families and common people in the city!

"They all focused their attention on Mr. Su."

"I want to see what method Mr. Su can use to survive a month on twenty copper coins!"

Cao Cao was completely dumbfounded.

Not only him, but everyone in the room was stunned.

They all stood up, but they all looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Cao Cao suddenly burst into laughter.

But that laughter sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"The solution must be devised by the teacher, and the challenge must be undertaken by the teacher."

"You old folks."

Cao Cao scanned the crowd below, muttering to himself.

Although he disapproved of them, Cao Cao couldn't say anything more because these people were all from the gentry class.

Moreover, it was Su Chen who took down the notice first.

"Sigh, it seems only Jingming can untangle this knot!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh softly and murmur.

Upon hearing this, the people around felt ashamed.

But what they were more curious about was how Su Chen would complete this challenge.

The difficulty of this challenge can be described as hellish.

Have you ever seen Mr. Su's daily expenses?

Just then, Xun Yu asked the people around him in a low voice.

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Most of them had just met Su Chen and had never seen his daily expenses.

"The only one who knows about this should be Sikong, right?"

"After all, Mr. Su has just arrived in Xuzhou and has no place to stay yet; he is temporarily staying at the Sikong Mansion."

Cheng Yu responded from the side.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but reflect for a moment.

In his memory, he had never seen Su Chen buy anything.

Even Cao Cao was unaware of his spending habits.

They usually ate and drank in the camp and the Sikong Mansion.

In other words, Cao Cao has not spent a single copper coin since he met Su Chen!

"Ahem, anyway, we owe a lot to Jingming this time."

"Otherwise, how we get out of this mess is a problem."

Cao Cao glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice.

Jia Xu, standing at the back of the crowd, paused slightly.

He was eager to know just how extraordinary this extraordinary person was who had so easily seen through his scheme in Wancheng.

"Sikong is right."

"Mr. Su is an extraordinary person; he must have a way to overcome this challenge he has set."

Cheng Yu chuckled and echoed.

"Indeed, having such an extraordinary person is a blessing for Sikong!"

"This is a blessing for our army!"

Xun You chimed in from the side.

Hearing these people singing in unison, even Cao Ang, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

When something happens, they all run away faster than anyone else.

Now that someone has stepped up, they're starting to brag?

"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now."

"As long as Jingming can complete this challenge."

"Then, our methods of thrift will be much more effective!"

A glint flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he immediately ordered the guests to leave.

Now, whenever he sees this group of old guys, he gets furious.

"Here you are."

Everyone understood without saying a word and hurriedly left.

Fortunately, a solution was found, which put their minds at ease for the time being.

After everyone left.

Cao Cao waved his hand, summoning Cao Ang to his side, and said:

"Ang'er, tell me, how should Jingming overcome this challenge?"

"And why did he take down the notice?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Ang was immediately at his wit's end.

So many people can't understand Su Chen's intentions.

How could he possibly have thought of that?!

But since Cao Cao had already asked, Cao Ang certainly couldn't refuse to answer.

He frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Father, I...I can't figure it out!"
