Xu You was leaving when he suddenly heard Cao Pi's words behind him. He couldn't help but feel shocked and stopped before leaving.

Cao Pi's men rummaged through Xu You's mansion for almost two hours, turning almost the entire mansion upside down, but found nothing.

When Cao Pi saw that he had not found the target, he was greatly disappointed, and without even apologizing to Xu You, he took his men and left, leaving behind a large family of men, women, and children who were frightened and in a mess.

Xu You stood in the middle of a messy courtyard, his eyes wide open, his face red, and he looked extremely angry.

Xu You's wife came to Xu You's side with the support of her maid, and couldn't help but said: "I heard that Cao Pi only searched our place! But he didn't dare to harass other civil and military ministers' mansions. This is clearly bullying us!...

"

Xu You was already very angry. When he heard this, he seemed to add fuel to the fire. He couldn't bear it anymore and cursed angrily: "Cao Pi, I'm not done with you!"

Cao Pi returned to his mansion, and Chen Qun, who was waiting for him, immediately came up to him. After taking a look at Cao Pi's face, he understood the general idea, clasped his fists and asked, "Young Master, nothing gained?"

Cao Pi shook his head and said: "I almost turned over the land in Xu You's mansion, but I found nothing! Alas, it seems we have wronged Xu You!"

Chen Qun thought: "It seems that Liu Xian is probably hiding in Miss Xiahou's mansion..."

Cao Pi immediately waved his hand and said: "This is just a guess. I don't dare to search there rashly! I would rather search the madam's natal residence than to invade her place!"

Chen Qun smiled and said: "Master, don't panic, I don't want you to search Miss Xiahou's residence! Now these are all speculations, maybe Miss Xiahou has nothing to do with this matter!"

Cao Pi walked to his seat and sat down, rubbed his forehead, frowned and murmured: "Where is Liu Xian hiding? It would be great if I could get the exact information!"

Chen Qun cupped his fists and said, "Sir, I have rethought this issue and feel that we have gone too far..."

Cao Pi looked at Chen Qun and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Qun said: "Why do we have to look for traces of Liu Xian in this huge city? Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Cao Pi nodded and said, "That makes sense. But what if it's not true?"

Chen Qun said: "Sir, we can consider this issue from Liu Xian's perspective. If Liu Xian is in the city at this moment, how can he escape from Yanzhou?"

Cao Pi thought for a while, suddenly his expression changed, and he clapped his hands and said: "I understand, Brother Zhi's baggage team! He must be planning to sneak out of the city among the civilians in the baggage team!"

Chen Qun showed an expression of admiration, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master is wise! That's exactly what it is! Now in Yanzhou, this is the only way to escape!"

Cao Pi got into trouble and frowned: "But Brother Zhi's baggage train belongs directly to my father, and I have no right to interfere. If I go there rashly, I'm afraid I will arouse Brother Zhi's anger in vain and fail to achieve my goal!"

Chen Qun cupped his fists and said: "I have sent dozens of people as civilian husbands to sneak into the baggage team. They have all seen the portraits of Liu Xian and Dian Wei. As soon as they find Liu Xian and Dian Wei, they will report to us immediately.

!”

Cao Pi exclaimed: "Sir, you are really my son-in-law!"

Chen Qun was flattered and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Young Master is so complimentary. I only wish to assist you in achieving your great cause!"

Cao Pi laughed heartily, patted Chen Qun on the shoulder, and said pointedly: "Sir, if you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down, sir!"

Chen Qun was deeply moved.

Cao Pi thought: "All armies must be prepared. Once Liu Xian is discovered, they will take action immediately. As long as I am sure that Liu Xian is in the middle of Brother Zhi's baggage team, I don't have to worry about anything."

Chen Qun clasped his fists and said, "Master Cao Zhi's baggage team will set off early tomorrow morning. My subordinates will lead a troop of soldiers and horses to accompany the master, ready to take action at any time."

Cao Pi thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: "No, it would be better for me, the handsome man, to follow the baggage team. You are a minister, and I am his brother. If there is to be a conflict, it would be better for me to be there!"

Chen Qun worshiped with admiration: "Young Master is wise!"

Cao Pi patted Chen Qun on the shoulder and said, "Sir, you will stay in Yanzhou for me. After I leave, I can't be careless!"

Chen Qun cupped his fists and said, "I understand."

Early the next morning, at dawn, Cao Zhi, who had not yet woken up from his hangover, was carried into a carriage by his cronies. Soon after, the carriage drove into the military camp.

Not long after, the huge baggage team drove out of the military camp, out of Yanzhou, and headed straight to Xingyang in the west.

Almost at the same time, the army led by Cao Pi also set off, not far behind the baggage team.

Cao Zhi finally woke up from his hangover, opened the car curtain, saw the beautiful scenery outside the window, couldn't help but feel happy, and began to chant his own poems.

At this time, one of Cao Zhi's cronies rushed forward and reported to Cao Zhi: "Sir, the second master has led the army to follow us. I don't know what the purpose is?"

Cao Zhi looked toward the rear, and sure enough he saw smoke billowing from behind, and a large army following him. He immediately laughed and said: "Second brother has brought all the troops guarding Yanzhou here!"

He glanced at his confidant and said, "Don't worry, the second brother is just protecting me! He really means it!"

The confidant said quickly, "Young Master treats others with sincerity, but others may not be as good as Young Master! In fact, all the way west from Yanzhou is under our rule, so how can there be any risk of safety?"

The Second Young Master’s move is obviously unnecessary and is nothing more than an attempt to snatch the Young Master’s credit for escorting grain and grass!”

Cao Zhi frowned and said nothing.

Cao Zhi's team and Cao Pi's team were marching one after another. Unknowingly, the teams had reached the halfway point. At dusk that day, the two teams camped in the wilderness to rest.

A man who looked like a common man came to Cao Pi and paid homage to Cao Pi: "I pay my respects to the second young master!"

Cao Pi frowned and said: "It's been many days! Why haven't you heard any news? Haven't you found any traces of Liu Xian and Dian Wei? That's all Liu Xian, Dian Wei's characteristics are very obvious, haven't you found anything suspicious?

personnel?"

The civilian husband cupped his fists and said: "Master Mingjian, I have been searching carefully for several days. I have searched all the civilian husband teams and found no suspicious person!..."

Cao Pi couldn't believe it and muttered: "How is this possible?!" He paused, frowned and said: "Did Chen Qun and I all guessed it wrong?!"
