The faces of Cao Ji and his son were gloomy.
On the way here, they had already thought of such a result, but they did not expect that Xun Yu would put it forward so straightforwardly.
Moreover, Xun Yu's tone was unquestionable and commanding.
Cao Ji was feeling better, but Cao Peng felt very uncomfortable.
"Why?"
Cao Peng stared at Xun Yu and almost asked through gritted teeth.
Xun Yu hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I received news in the evening that Yuan Shao launched an attack in Guandu this morning!"
Yuan Shao attacks?
This is not beyond Cao Peng's expectation. The Battle of Guandu was doomed! After Yuan Shao imprisoned Ju Shu, history was destined to develop in his original direction. The rest is just a matter of time. Yuan Shao**
*Futianzawa, isn’t this just for this battle?
call-
Cao Peng let out a long breath.
He felt more or less comfortable in his heart, because he had roughly guessed what Xun Yu was thinking.
"If Fu Jun would do such a thing in normal times, I would never forgive him. But now, I must stop you from causing trouble for the Fu family." Xun Yu stared at Cao Peng with burning eyes. After a while, he stood up.
I wandered in the hall, and after a long time I stood still, clasping my hands behind the hall door, looking at the swaying branches outside the house. The apricot flowers had bloomed, and they were all white, giving off a touch of elegance in the night.
Xun Yu said: "I don't need you to say this, but I don't want you to have a grudge against me because of this.
Ah Fu, you have a bright future and will surely achieve great achievements in the future. So I am telling you this because I hope you know that sometimes, those who want to do great things need to know the choices and know how to advance and retreat. I hate what Fu Jun did.
But at this time, I can only let you feel wronged... Do you know why? Fu Wan is the father-in-law of the country, and Fu Jun cannot help but have royal blood, and he is a relative of the country. If you touch him now, it will inevitably cause turmoil in Xudu.
You also know that many people in the court are ready to make a move. At this time, Xu Du cannot be in chaos! Many people say that Duke Cao controls the court and coerces the emperor to order the princes. This is the act of a traitor. Sooner or later, he will inevitably cause trouble in the court and seek to usurp the throne.
But they have no excuse and can't get into trouble!
Even Kong Wenju and others could only suggest that the lord cooperate with Yuan Shao to jointly assist the Han Dynasty.
At this time, if you touch Fu Jun, it will be enough to give them an excuse. And you are the lord's favorite nephew, so it is easier for them to find an excuse... Ah Fu, for the sake of the face of the Han Dynasty, they will think
For various reasons, there will inevitably be an uprising in Xudu in the end. And the lord in Zhongmou will fight Yuan Shao with all his strength. If Xudu is in chaos, Zhongmou will be in chaos; if Zhongmou is in chaos, the lord will be in danger."
Cao Peng remained silent, just lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He understood Xun Yu's intention and hoped that he would not take action for the time being, at least to endure it until the battle of Guandu was over and the winner was determined.
But, that’s my sister!
Cao Peng suddenly raised his head and wanted to refuse.
Xun Yu said: "Ah Fu, I can give you a guarantee that when the time comes, you will be able to vent your anger."
"I……"
Cao Peng's words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.
I have to say that Xun Yu gave him enough face.
With his current identity and status, speaking this way is like pleading.
Cao Peng opened his mouth and finally lowered his head.
After a long while, Cao Ji finally said, "Xun Shangshu, I believe in you."
With that said, he stood up and said to Cao Peng: "Ah Fu, let's go back!"
Cao Peng got up and followed Cao Ji out.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "I can not hold Fu Jun accountable for the time being, but the perpetrator must be handed over to me, otherwise it will be difficult to relieve the bad breath in my heart. Mr. Xun, I
My father and my son respect you, so I trust you. I hope you will not disappoint my father and my son."
Xun Yu smiled slightly and nodded.
Cao Peng stared at him for a moment, then turned around and followed Cao Ji and walked away.
Seeing the figures of Cao Ji and his son go away gradually, Xun Yu couldn't help but feel relieved, let out a long breath, and felt relaxed.
It has to be said that when he learned the truth of the matter, he was also very angry.
In his opinion, what Fu Jun did was not only ignorant of the importance, but also morally wrong.
But he had to stand up and suppress Cao Peng's counterattack, because he knew that Cao Peng's attack on Fu Jun at this time would definitely cause a big commotion. Xu Du was not as calm as he seemed. In this regard,
Xun Yu also knew it very well in his heart.
What a hassle!
Xun Yu sat on the couch for a moment, and after recovering his emotions, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Xun Meng!"
"The villain is here."
"Go to General Fuguo's mansion immediately and tell General Fuguo to hand over the perpetrator, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
"Here!"
"Someone, prepare a car!"
Xun Yu stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Master, it's so late, where are you going?"
"I think I should pay a visit to the Marquis of Linyi!"
Xun Yu spoke with a bitter smile on his face.
This matter seems to be over, but in fact, it has just begun... He still has to do a lot of things next, otherwise he will definitely be in trouble.

When he returned home, Cao Nan was still awake.
Hua Tuo did not leave Cao Mansion, but stayed to prevent the injury from recurring.
Madam Hong, Madam Guo (wife of Guo Yong), Guo Yu, Guo Huan, and Buluan didn't rest. They were either talking with Zhang or taking care of Cao Nan. Deng Ai had already fallen asleep under Huang Yueying's care. Cao
Peng went to visit him and saw Deng Ai lying on the couch with tears on his face. His immature face had a hint of worry. In his sleep, he softly called "Aniang, Aniang" from time to time.
Huang Yueying was on the side, her eyes were red.
"Afu, how are you?"
"found it!"
Cao Peng walked out of the room quietly, with a deep look of anger in his eyes.
Huang Yueying walked behind him, gently stretched her arms, and hugged his waist. Today, Huang Yueying has become a slim figure. She is only a little shorter than Cao Peng, about 173 centimeters. She is tall and slender, wearing a long goose-yellow coat.
The skirt reveals infinite charm.
He only felt his back being pressed by two soft balls. Cao Peng stretched out his hand and held Huang Yueying in his arms.
"Yueying, do you know what is the most annoying thing in the world?"
"What?"
"I clearly know who the enemy is, but I can't do anything about it."
He gritted his teeth and softly told what happened.
"I hate Na Fujun...if Shangshu Xun had not stopped him, I would not have spared his life."
Huang Yueying was startled, got out of Cao Peng's arms, looked at Cao Peng, and after a while said softly: "Ah Fu, do you think you can take revenge?"
"Xun Yu said that when the war is over, I can take action."
Huang Yueying smiled bitterly and said: "The war is over? Let alone the victory or defeat, if the war is over, I can guarantee that you will not be able to take revenge."
"oh?"
Cao Peng couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
"Yueying, what do you mean?"
"I feel that Shangshu Xun will never let you do whatever you want.
After all, this is about the face of the Han family. You have to know that the Han Dynasty is in decline now, so it attaches great importance to this face. If Fujun dies at your hands, the face of the Han Dynasty will be gone. Although I don’t understand what is going on in the court,
But based on Xun Shangshu’s actions, we can feel that he has quite a lot of affection for the Han Dynasty... I think he will definitely try to protect the Han family’s face and Fujun.”
Cao Peng was stunned!
"What should we do?"
"You might as well ask Mr. Yuan for advice on this matter."
Cao Peng slapped his forehead and thought to himself, how could I forget him?
There is also a great man hiding in Cao's mansion. Li Ru changed his name to Yuan Xuanshuo and practiced in Cao's mansion, so he could ask his advice.
"Yueying, thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten!"
Huang Yueying smiled slightly and pushed Cao Peng gently, "You can go ahead. I will take good care of Xiao Ai here, so there is no need to worry."
Under the moonlight, Huang Yueying stands tall and pretty.
Cao Peng couldn't help but hold her in his arms, and kissed her gently on her delicate cheek.
It has been three or four years since I met Huang Yueying. This was also the first time that Cao Peng made such an intimate gesture, but Huang Yueying's dimples that could be broken by blows suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
She pushed Cao Peng and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Go quickly, maybe Mr. Yuan has already rested!"
"kindness!"
Cao Peng nodded, turned around and hurried away.
Huang Yueying stood on the porch, watching Cao Peng's retreating figure, and returned to the room after a long time.

Li Ru, haven't rested yet.
It seemed that he had guessed that Cao Peng would definitely come to see him, so he waited in the Buddhist hall.
When Cao Peng walked into the Buddhist hall, Li Ru was saluting a Buddha statue. When he heard the footsteps, he straightened up, turned his head, and smiled at Cao Peng.
The face covered with scars looked a bit ferocious because of this smile.
Cao Peng bowed to Li Ru and said, "Sir, I'm here to ask for advice."
"Has the murderer been found?"
"Um!"
"which one?"
"Fu Jun...the son of Fu Wan, the general of the auxiliary state, and the brother of Queen Fu."
Li Ru hissed, his expression serious.
After a while, he sighed softly, "I think it won't be easy for you to take revenge."
"Yes, Xun Yu just called my father and I to the Shangshu Mansion and strictly ordered me not to cause trouble or cause trouble for Fujun.
After returning, Yueying also said that she was afraid that revenge would be difficult.
So I want to ask sir, how can I take revenge?"
Li Ru didn't answer and fell into deep thought.
"It's really not easy for you to take revenge. I know a little bit about the man who defeated me. He is a well-planned guy. Xun Yu must have done this because he was afraid of causing some trouble. Judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not suitable.
Take revenge or you will be in endless trouble.
As long as they can delay this period of time, they will definitely send Fu Jun away from Xudu. It will probably be more difficult for you to find Fu Jun by then."
"I thought so too, so I came here to ask for advice."
"I can't say I can give you advice. This matter is indeed a bit tricky."
Li Ru couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It should be said that this happened by chance. A few days earlier or later, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. But now, it's really hard for you to do it... Unless, you don't care
In everything, follow what that reckless man did. But then, this trouble will not only be yours, but also Cao Ah Man, I am afraid he will also face endless troubles, which is not advisable!"
"What should we do?"
"Tolerate!"
After a long time, Li Ru raised his head, looked at Cao Peng, and uttered a word from his mouth.
Tolerate?
I also know that I have to endure it, but for how long?
Cao Peng gently moved his temples and felt a headache, "Then how long can I endure it?"
"When the Han Dynasty loses all face, that's the day for you to take revenge."
This is not nonsense...
But Cao Peng knew that Li Ru was right.
"Afu, just follow me and chant the Buddha... Keep yourself calm and calm. Only by being calm and calm can you come up with better ideas."
"Forget it, I don't believe this."
Cao Peng rejected Li Ru's kindness, got up and left the Buddhist hall.
This conversation with Li Ru had to be fruitless. At least, he could tell that Li Ru was not very optimistic about the future of the Han Dynasty. As for where history will go? Cao Peng doesn't know, at least for now.
, he had no intention of thinking about it.

The next day, Magistrate Xu came to inform him that the perpetrator had been caught.
The man who injured Cao Nan with his horse was named Niu Xian, a native of Chenjun County, Yuzhou. There was a severe drought in Yuzhou in the fourth year of Jian'an, so Niu Xian fled with his family and came to Xu County.
When asked why he hit Cao Nan, Niu Xian explained that the horse was frightened!
Immediately, Magistrate Xu announced that the case had been solved.
Niu Xian rode his horse in a busy city and injured Cao Nan, and was sentenced to be executed by Queen Qiu...
After Cao Peng got the news, he always felt a little strange.
However, he did not bother to ask about this matter, because the battle of Guandu had already begun!
Yuan Shao led an army of 120,000 troops, stationed troops in Putianze, and launched a fierce attack and defense against Cao Cao in Guandu. At the beginning, Yuan Shao's attack was extremely fierce, and Cao Cao seemed unable to withstand it. The two sides fought fiercely for several days.
, Xiahou Dun led his troops to Guancheng, which forced Yuan Shao to temporarily slow down his offensive. Cao Cao took the opportunity to reorganize his troops and garrison Junyi County, and at the same time mobilized troops to stabilize his position.
A large amount of supplies were continuously sent from Xudu to Zhongmou.
The case of Cao Nan being injured also disappeared from people's sight...
Cao Ren continued to recruit Xiangyong, intensified training in the suburbs of Xudu, and was ready to be transferred to Guandu at any time; Xunyu also transferred his energy to the Guandu battlefield and ordered Cao Peng to immediately draw troops and horses from the Xiangyong and reorganize the Yueqi camp... The entire Yueqi camp...
Xudu, in just a few days, was shrouded in a thick cloud of war.
All the previous sounds in the court suddenly disappeared!
But everyone knows that this disappearance is only a short-lived silence. Those ministers who oppose Cao Cao are accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity.
As soon as Mr. Cao is in crisis, various voices will reappear.
Cao Nan has woken up and is not in danger of life.
However, she couldn't get out of bed yet, so she could only lie down on the bed...
Seeing that his sister was gradually recovering, Cao Peng finally felt relieved. The Yueqi Battalion was still being reorganized, so there was no need for him to worry about it for the time being. But there was another thing that Cao Peng had to start immediately.
In addition to being the captain of the cavalry camp, he also has another position, that is, the assistant commander of the palace.
Early in the morning, Cao Peng put on his armor and walked out of the gate of Cao's mansion.
Just as he was about to mount his horse, he saw a man rushing out of the alley across the street. The man came very quickly and was in front of Cao Peng in the blink of an eye.
The guards on both sides stepped forward and were about to stop him, when they saw the man kneeling down with a plop.
