Meanwhile, in Xuchang …
"De Zu, how is it?"
Cao Zhi was pacing back and forth in the courtyard anxiously. When he saw that Yang Xiu had returned, he immediately asked anxiously.
For the past few days, Cao Zhi had not even been able to drink.
After all, Bai Feng's life and death were closely related to his own.
If Bai Feng was still alive, he would be in grave danger!
This was the first time that Cao Zhi felt that his life was in someone else's hands.
Yang Xiu's expression was grim.
"Young Master, there is no news yet.
However, the rumors have already spread to Jiangdong. Sun Quan is furious and has sent people to search for him in Yuzhang!
"Bai Feng should have just arrived in Yuzhang. After entering the city, I'm afraid that he won't be able to get out.
"With so many soldiers surrounding him, even if Bai Feng has wings, he won't be able to escape!"
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.
However, this news was only used to comfort Cao Zhi.
Yang Xiu knew very well that if Bai Feng was still alive, this matter was not over yet!
Only by seeing Bai Feng's corpse could the Yang family and Cao Zhi's safety be guaranteed!
Otherwise, everything would be in vain!
After all, even though the Jiangdong Army was searching for Bai Feng, they had seen how powerful he was.
It was likely that the Jiangdong Army would not be able to find Bai Feng for a while.
However, there was an advantage to this.
If that was the case, Bai Feng would definitely not be able to get out of Yuzhang in a short period of time. In fact, it was possible that he would not be able to get out of Yuzhang for a long time!
As long as they delayed Bai Feng until they ran out of ammunition and food, Bai Feng would naturally be forced into a corner.
When that time came, Bai Feng would definitely be defeated.
However, Yang Xiu did not expect that Bai Feng would actually find Tai Shici and the two of them had already started working together.
In Yang Xiu's opinion, Bai Feng was a dead man. It was just a matter of how long he lived.
Just the issue of food and fodder alone was enough to give Bai Feng and his soldiers a headache.
However, at this moment, Bai Feng was eating heartily. He was not worried at all.
Originally, there were only dried rations and meat jerky, but Tai Shici's subordinates would occasionally send over a few high-quality fish.
Jiangdong was near the Yangtze River, so there was no shortage of fish.
With the addition of Bai Feng's special sauce, the fish was extremely delicious.
Even the young general couldn't help but praise wildly after taking a bite.
"De Zu, I'm still worried."
"Should we send some people to confirm it?"
Cao Zhi said with lingering fear.
Yang Xiu waved his hand.
"No, Young Master. At a time like this, you should be calm."
"No matter what, Jiangdong is not our territory. Besides, there's Liu Bei's Jingzhou between us."
"Right now, the entire city of Yuzhang is on high alert. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If we send our men there, we will only be sending them to their deaths."
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Zhi immediately sighed.
He never thought that Bai Feng had done nothing. He was the one who had done all the dirty work.
But now, he was forced into a dead end.
Bai Feng was like an invulnerable person. No matter what he did, he could not be harmed in the slightest.
This made Cao Zhi very vexed.
In fact, Cao Zhi even began to wonder if he had made the right choice to go against Bai Feng from the beginning.
Looking at his father's expression, it seemed like he had no intention of dealing with Bai Feng!
Some time ago, he even praised Bai Feng in the imperial court. If it were not for Bai Feng, there would not be so many new equipment and weapons, not to mention large quantities of provisions.
These various matters added up were simply driving Yang Xiu crazy.
"Don't worry, Young Master. It's not like we don't have a chance."
Yang Xiu said coldly.
"Whether Bai Feng manages to escape from Yuzhang or not, he won't be able to come back."
Cao Zhi was shocked when he heard this.
"What do you mean by that, Ancestor De?"
Yang Xiu sneered.
"That Bai Feng planned everything and came up with this idea to go to Shanyue."
"Little did he know that Sun Quan was planning to attack Shanyue at this time."
"Coincidentally, Yuzhang has gathered many soldiers from Jiangdong."
"More than fifty thousand soldiers!"
"If this continues, Bai Feng will definitely die!"
"He only has twenty or so men under him."
"No matter what, can he fight against fifty thousand soldiers?"
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, the gloomy look on Cao Zhi's face immediately disappeared.
"Good, good! This is really good news! "
"As expected of you, Ancestor De!"
"Who would have thought that there would be such good news!"
"Awesome, awesome!"
"That Bai Feng better die without a burial place and be torn apart by five horses!"
Yang Xiu smiled faintly, but in his heart, he hoped that it would be so.
He hoped that Bai Feng would really be at the end of his rope one day.
In that case, no one would be able to threaten the Yang family, and no one would be able to threaten Cao Zhi.
"Young Master, compared to Bai Feng, we should pay more attention to Cao Pi."
Yang Xiu changed the topic.
The smile on Cao Zhi's face gradually disappeared.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong with Zihuan?"
Yang Xiu sighed and said,
"For the past few days, Young Master Cao Pi has been at Young Master's residence and has never left. I don't know what he's doing."
"I'm just afraid that he's plotting something against Young Master."
"If news of Jiang Wei's assassination reaches Young Master Cao Pi's ears, who knows what he'll do."
Yang Xiu's meaning was actually very simple.
Cao Pi was Cao Zhi's greatest rival now, and the two of them would definitely do anything to get their hands on him.
But Cao Pi was extremely quiet, so quiet that it was frightening.
He didn't even leave his room!
Perhaps only Wei Emperor would come to see him, or perhaps Cao Pi would come out.
But Wei Emperor had been patrolling the various provinces and counties recently and had no time to care about him.
This period of time gave Cao Pi the greatest buffer time.
He was not afraid of the enemy moving, but he was afraid of the enemy not moving.
It was easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to dodge a hidden arrow. Yang Xiu knew this all too well.
"Send a few men to see what Zihuan is doing."
"If we keep guarding against Bai Feng and end up being stabbed in the back instead, we'll be in trouble."
Cao Zhi's expression immediately changed.
During this period of time, Cao Zhi's personality had gradually changed.
At first, Cao Zhi didn't like fighting for the throne, but now, Cao Zhi realized how tempting power was.
Moreover, Cao Zhi had a much better competitive environment than Cao Pi.
After all, Cao Cao liked Cao Zhi, not Cao Pi.
At this moment, he was even willing to harm his own brothers and sisters for power.
Yang Xiu immediately nodded solemnly.
"Rest assured, Young Master. Xiu will not let Young Master down!"
With that, Yang Xiu turned and left.
In this period of time, Yang Xiu had been very busy.
On one hand, he had to keep an eye on Bai Feng, and on the other, he had to keep a close eye on Cao Pi.
