Seeing this, Cao Cao's face gradually turned ugly.
It was normal for Cao Pi to be afraid.
Emperor Xian of Han did not have the prestige of an emperor, and Cao Pi had never seen such a scene.
But Cao Zhi's reaction was a bit excessive.
Cao Zhi slowly stood up and murmured:
"Imperial Father …
"This son has nothing on his mind, but there is something I would like to ask of Imperial Father."
Hearing this, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Speak."
Cao Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said:
"Imperial Father!"
"This son would like to ask Imperial Father to forgive Yang Xiu!"
"Yang Xiu definitely has no intention of assassinating Imperial Father! Imperial Father, please understand! "
For the past few days, Cao Zhi couldn't figure out why Yang Xiu would be involved in the assassination of his father.
Furthermore, those words that Yang Xiu said before leaving, Cao Zhi also engraved them in his heart.
Given Cao Zhi's understanding of Yang Xiu, he would definitely not have any intention of harming his Imperial Father.
From the start, Yang Xiu's only target was Bai Feng.
The purpose of this scheme was to kill Bai Feng. There was no other intention.
But why did things turn out like this?
Cao Zhi really could not understand.
Cao Zhi did not care that his entire family was about to be executed.
Whether these people died or not had nothing to do with him. After all, they were all disloyal to his Imperial Father.
Cao Zhi did not even care if the entire Yang Clan was slaughtered.
Cao Zhi only hoped that Yang Xiu would live!
When Cao Cao heard this, his face became extremely gloomy.
"You wanted to tell Us this?!"
"For a Yang Xiu, you actually kneeled and begged Us for mercy?!"
Cao Zhi continued when he heard that.
"Imperial Father!"
"Ancestor De has been with this son for the past few days. He definitely has no intention of harming Imperial Father."
"Imperial Father, for this son's sake, please forgive Ancestor De!"
"This son has no other request!"
Yang Xiu could bear to see anyone die, but not Yang Xiu!
Yang Xiu was his childhood playmate, and he was also his only confidant!
Other than Yang Xiu, no one else understood him.
Even Ding Yi couldn't do it!
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's face became even gloomier. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he shouted in a low voice,
"Get up!"
"A real man should kneel before gold," he said. "And yet, you're willing to kneel and plead for leniency on behalf of Yang Xiu?"
"Do you know that I was injured because of this?!"
"Do you know that if it weren't for Mr. Bai and his men, I would have died at the Copper Sparrow Pavilion?"
Cao Zhi's eyes were immediately filled with tears. He did not stand up. Instead, he kowtowed a few times to Cao Cao.
"Father!"
"I know. I'm also very worried about Imperial Father! That night, I couldn't wait to come to the Copper Sparrow Pavilion to block the sword for you! "
"Father, please spare Ancestor De this time!"
"As long as I can save Ancestor De, even if … even if I don't fight for the position of Crown Prince, it's fine!"
"I beg you, Father!"
At this moment, Cao Zhi did not care about anything else.
For Cao Zhi, as long as he could save Yang Xiu, he would not fight for anything else.
What bullsh * t position of Crown Prince? It could be whoever he wanted. As long as Ancestor De could live and return to his side, that was more important than anything else!
Cao Cao looked coldly at Cao Zhi, who was crying bitterly. He could not contain his anger. He immediately pulled out the Sky Sword from his waist and placed it directly on Yang Xiu's neck.
"I said!"
"I told you to stand up!"
Seeing this, Cao Zhi trembled all over and stood up shakily.
"Father …"
Cao Zhi wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Cao Cao's slap.
"Get lost!"
"Don't ever appear in front of me again!"
At this moment, Cao Cao completely understood.
Cao Zhi could not achieve great things at all.
As the Emperor's Reserve, he could not do anything alone at the very least.
Whether it was Yang Xiu or anyone else, as long as they stood in the way of the Emperor, they had to die!
Only others could kneel and beg for mercy in front of the Emperor. When had the Emperor ever knelt and begged others?!
Cao Zhi's actions reminded Cao Cao of what Emperor Xian of Han had done to Dong Zhuo.
How could such a person inherit the great cause?
No matter how much Cao Cao felt that Cao Zhi was like him, no matter how much he liked Cao Zhi.
The Emperor's cause was not a joke!
…
Late at night, in front of Xuchang's prison.
Cao Chun came forward obsequiously and smiled.
"Sir, oh no, Marshal Bai!"
Seeing Cao Chun's malicious look, Bai Feng immediately had a look of disdain.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly! Don't be a sissy. "
Cao Chun chuckled and said, "Marshal, look.
"Marshal, you see, now that we've captured all nine generations of these landowning households and locked them in prison, shouldn't we get down to business now?"
Hearing this, Cao Ren, who was at the side, grinned.
"That's right, Marshal, business is more important!"
Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun had just arrived with their men. Hearing Cao Ren's words, they also came forward and grinned at Bai Feng.
Bai Feng's face was instantly filled with confusion.
Business?
Right now, the business had just been completed, which was to capture all of these people.
What kind of business could these four fellows have that would be more important than this?
Looking at Bai Feng's expression, Cao Chun suddenly clapped and said,
"Marshal!"
"You've just been promoted. How can we not have a drink to celebrate?"
"Previously, you were a military counselor and had nothing to do with us. You were a civil official."
"It's different now. You're our immediate superior. If we don't curry favor with you, how can we survive in the future?"
The other three nodded.
Good fellow!
Bai Feng was now exclaiming, "Good fellow."
Why did this Cao Chun speak in such a philistine manner?
It was completely different from the upright and plainspoken image that he had when he first met him.
There was also Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun.
They had delicate features and looked like decent people. Why were they so disgusting when they weren't?
Bai Feng felt goosebumps all over his body.
"The four of you …"
Bai Feng's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. Seeing that the situation was not good, the four quickly stopped smiling and stared at Bai Feng.
Bai Feng shook his head and said, "Forget it.
The matter has been resolved. It's not like we can't have a drink. We've been promoted, so I'm happy! "
Bai Feng felt that these four people were completely different from Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and the other civil officials when he interacted with them.
Generals were truly heroic!
These four people had no other intentions towards him. To them, being able to fight and strategize was a big brother!
There was nothing to be unconvinced about!
Seeing these four honest people, Bai Feng immediately thought of his good buddies who often ate skewers and chatted with him before he transmigrated. Suddenly, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.
Moreover, these four people were extremely loyal to him. Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao, who he only met later and only interacted with when he was attacking Xiliang, had already reached 85 points!
Bai Feng had great trust in them.
"Let's go, the Marshal has to pay for this meal no matter what!"
"Of course, I saw the silver in the Marshal's pocket. It's a lot!"
