Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this.
Ma Chao was now Bai Feng's general.
When Bai Feng escaped, it was because of Ma Chao that Cao Cao was so wary of him.
Otherwise, he would have sent troops to kill Bai Feng.
This sudden attack on his city must have been ordered by Bai Feng!
This was not a good thing for Cao Cao who was nearing the end of his life!
He had just caught his breath when he was attacked. He wanted to cry but no tears came out!
"Bai Feng is indeed vicious!"
"He probably knew that I was nearing the end of my life and wanted to join forces with Liu Bei to attack me."
"That's why he sent Ma Chao to attack my city!"
The Tiger Marquis, Xu Chu, said angrily.
"Don't worry, Wei Emperor. I'll go to Western Liang now and bring Ma Chao's head back!"
"If you can't do it, I'll bring my head back!"
At this moment, Cao Cao wanted to say something, but his face suddenly became twisted and he looked like he was in great pain.
It was obvious that Ma Chao's sudden attack had triggered him.
His head was acting up again!
"Damn it! How could he … "
"It hurts …"
Seeing this, Cheng Yu and the others hurried forward to support Cao Cao.
At the same time, they shouted to the outside.
"Oh no! Wei Emperor's head is acting up again! "
"Call for the imperial physician! Quick! "
At this time, Cao Cao suddenly pulled Cheng Yu and shook his head with difficulty.
"No! Don't call for the imperial physician! "
"Go! Call for Cao Pi! "
Cheng Yu was stunned.
"Wei Emperor, what did you say?"
Cao Cao stared at Cheng Yu with bloodshot eyes and said with difficulty.
"Call for Cao Pi!"
"But your condition …"
"Listen to my orders! Help me back to the dormitory and quickly call Cao Pi to see me! "
"Yes, Sir!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was so determined, Cheng Yu had no choice but to stop refuting.
After ordering Xu Chu to take Cao Cao away, he strode out of the hall.
…
In Cao Cao's dormitory.
The old man sat on the bed.
His eyes were closed and he was drowsy.
At this moment, he was already extremely handsome. It was as if he could die at any moment.
Outside, Cheng Yu's voice sounded.
"Reporting to Wei Emperor, Young Master Cao Pi has arrived!"
"Yes!"
Cheng Yu excused himself and only Cao Pi came in.
Seeing Cao Cao's weak state, Cao Pi couldn't help but ask.
"Father, how is your body?"
Cao Cao did not answer, nor did he raise his head to look at him.
"Pi'er!"
"Your son is here!"
"Come here!"
"Yes!"
Cao Pi knelt in front of Cao Cao and raised his head to look at the old man's face.
Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes and stared coldly at Cao Pi.
Cao Pi trembled slightly and asked tentatively.
"Father, why did you call me here this time?"
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly asked.
"Xu Chu!"
"Yes, Sir!"
"Drag this unfilial son who harmed his own people and behead him!"
Although Cao Cao was speaking to the outside world, his cold eyes were fixed on Cao Pi's eyes.
Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this. He stood rooted to the ground and didn't know what to do.
Although he was Cao Cao's most capable and most trusted general.
As long as Cao Cao gave the order, he would rush over without hesitation even if there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire in front of him.
However, Cao Cao wanted him to kill Cao Pi. This made him very troubled.
After all, the former was none other than Cao Cao's own son!
If he killed him directly, it wouldn't be too good!
Cao Cao didn't care and continued to stare coldly at Cao Pi.
But that sentence of his earlier gave Cao Pi quite a fright!
Cao Pi almost collapsed to the ground. He crawled to Cao Cao and said hurriedly.
"Father! Your son is innocent! "
"I didn't harm my own people and I didn't do anything wrong!"
"You have no evidence. Aren't you wronging me by doing this?"
Cao Pi was so frightened that his face was covered in cold sweat. He kept kowtowing in front of Cao Cao and begged for mercy.
Although that was his father, Cao Pi knew very well in his heart.
If the other party had enough reason, it was entirely possible for them to kill him!
Therefore, he had to beg for mercy now, even if he really did something wrong.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi who kept begging for mercy and said indifferently.
"Hmph! Look at your sorry state now. It's really shameful! "
"Every sinner will frantically say that they are innocent when they are about to be punished!"
"It's exactly the same as you now!"
"Let me ask you. Your brother Cao Chong, who is also my youngest son."
"My favorite son, how did he die?"
When he said this, Cao Cao's eyes were extremely cold.
It was as if he was ready to chop Cao Pi's head off at any time!
This made Cao Pi even more shocked.
Especially when he heard how Cao Chong died, his heart leaped to his throat!
"How did Father know? He disguised himself very well! "
"If Father finds out this time, he will definitely kill me!"
"No! That's not right! Right now, Father is only suspicious. He doesn't have enough evidence to kill me! "
"Even if there is! I have to deny it! "
"No matter what happens, I won't admit to it!"
After an intense mental struggle, Cao Pi pretended to be confused and looked at Cao Cao.
"This, Brother Chong, wasn't he bitten to death by a venomous snake?"
"Father, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Cao Cao's face was expressionless, but he sneered coldly in his heart.
This lad is indeed good at pretending!
However, he didn't know if he could withstand this final test!
"Do you know that your Brother Chong wasn't bitten to death by a venomous snake, but by someone else!"
"That so-called venomous snake was released by someone else!"
Hearing this, Cao Pi pretended to be innocent and hurriedly said.
"What! Brother Chong was bitten to death by a venomous snake! "
"Father, who would be so vicious as to harm such a young Brother Chong!"
At this moment, Cao Cao's face was filled with complex emotions. Soon, it turned cold.
This lad is really getting more and more convincing!
"The culprit who killed Chong-er is you!"
The moment these words came out, Cao Pi panicked. Tears even came out from the corners of his eyes.
Of course, this was just on the surface.
If he didn't show the truth, how could Cao Cao believe him?
"Father! Are you suspecting that I am the culprit? "
"You want to kill a child without any evidence, aren't you accusing me wrongly?"
"Accusing you wrongly?"
"Hehehe! Pi-er, you are really not an outstanding assassin! "
