"Young Master, I advise you to give up on this idea."
Yang Xiu sighed helplessly.
Seeing Cao Zhi's confused expression, Yang Xiu continued.
"Now, Bai Feng has taken the initiative to resign from his position and sent himself to Hanzhong to be the governor."
"This is obviously a show of sincerity to Wei Emperor.
"Wei Emperor already knows that Young Master and Bai Feng are not on good terms. He will definitely pay close attention to Young Master's movements.
"If Young Master tries to stop the two of them now, I'm afraid that Wei Emperor will be displeased.
"Moreover, Bai Feng probably didn't forget to mention it, but rather didn't want to talk about the assassin.
"If we offend Bai Feng because of this, I'm afraid …"
Cao Zhi was instantly enraged.
"Ancestor De, don't forget!
"If Bai Feng enters the Cao Clan, he will be a member of the Cao Clan from now on!
"At that time, both Zihuan and I will most likely be forced to withdraw from the struggle between the clans!
"You know how much Father loves Bai Feng!
"Even if I have to take this risk, I will not let this happen!"
How could Yang Xiu not know this?
But whether it was for the Yang Family or for Cao Zhi, the best thing to do now was to behave and not cause any trouble.
But seeing Cao Zhi so resistant, Yang Xiu thought for a moment and could only sigh.
"If Young Master insists on this, then Xiu will definitely comply.
"Due to the recruitment event in two days, Bai Feng and Miss Cao Jie's wedding will have to be delayed for a while.
"This period of time is our chance."
"However, I'm afraid that the two of us alone won't be enough. We need a helper."
Cao Zhi smiled.
"Helper? Just say it. "
"Many young masters come to drink with me every day. Which one of them can help you?"
"Just say the word. I'll definitely get him to help!"
Yang Xiu shook his head heavily and said,
"These are just some ordinary people, not worth mentioning."
"I'm talking about Young Master Zihuan."
Zihuan?
Hearing these two words, Cao Zhi was immediately at a loss. He opened his mouth and said:
"De Zu, what is the meaning of this?"
"You know that Zihuan and I don't get along."
Yang Xiu shook his head.
"No, Young Master. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Since Young Master believes that the marriage between Bai Feng and Miss Cao Jie will affect the fight between the two of you, how could Young Master Zihuan not know?"
Cao Zhi said coldly.
"Zihuan? Zihuan is so mediocre, and he doesn't even have a single official by his side. "
"How can he help?"
Yang Xiu shook his head and continued.
"Young Master Zihuan might not be able to help in this matter."
"But we don't need his help at all."
"What we need to do is to get Young Master Zihuan on the same side as us."
"If that's the case, if Wei Emperor finds out that both of you were involved in this matter, Wei Emperor will definitely not punish you too severely."
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Zhi was suddenly enlightened.
"Excellent, excellent! As expected of De Zu! "
"Then I'll leave this matter to De Zu! I'll bear with it for a while. "
Yang Xiu smiled bitterly.
"Young Master, if you want Young Master Zihuan's help, I'll need Young Master to come with me."
"If I go to find Young Master Zihuan and Wei Emperor finds out, he will definitely be suspicious."
"But if Young Master goes to find Young Master Zihuan, Wei Emperor will definitely not care."
"Moreover, Young Master Zihuan has always liked to shut himself in and not receive guests. I'm afraid that I'll only be rejected if I go."
"But if Young Master goes, things will be different."
Cao Zhi's expression turned even uglier.
There were two people that Cao Zhi hated the most in his life.
One was Bai Feng, and the other was Cao Pi.
Although Cao Pi was his second elder brother, he was also his main rival in the struggle between factions.
As such, Cao Zhi didn't have the slightest bit of goodwill towards him.
But now, there was nothing he could do.
Since he wanted to deal with Bai Feng, he definitely needed Cao Pi's help. Only then would he be able to provide himself with a layer of insurance.
As long as the two of them were together, Imperial Father would definitely not punish them too harshly.
"Alright, since that's the case, the two of us will make a trip."
Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
It was currently nighttime, and the two of them could use this opportunity to visit Cao Pi at his residence.
This way, it would be easier to hide it from others.
After all, Cao Pi didn't want others, especially Bai Feng, to know about this.
But as luck would have it, Bai Feng happened to be on his way back to his residence after sending Cao Jie back.
Bai Feng could see the silhouettes of Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi from afar.
"What are these two doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?"
Bai Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.
Could it be that they were plotting against Jiang Wei?
Bai Feng wasn't sure whether it was Cao Zhi or Cao Pi who sent the assassins, so he simply suspected both of them.
Moreover, looking at the direction that the two of them were heading, it seemed that they were heading towards the south of the city.
If it was the south of the city …
Could it be that they were going to look for Cao Pi?
Bai Feng immediately frowned slightly and quietly followed them.
Right now, Bai Feng wanted to see what these two people were up to.
However, after walking for a long time, the two of them finally stopped in front of Cao Pi's residence!
After some small talk, the two of them finally entered Cao Pi's residence.
This time, Bai Feng suddenly became suspicious.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had always been at loggerheads. Bai Feng knew this very well.
But why would Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu go to Cao Pi's residence at night?
Could it be that these two were already in cahoots?
If that was the case, it wasn't impossible!
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi might have teamed up to find the assassins and wanted to deal with him!
Thinking of this, Bai Feng couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that he had to be careful of these two during this period of time.
Since the two of them were meeting, there might be some big movements.
As Cao Pi's residence was heavily guarded, Bai Feng couldn't enter, so he simply returned home.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. If these two had any tricks up their sleeves, they could just use them.
Perhaps Boss Cao was watching the two's actions carefully.
If he was discovered to be secretly following Cao Zhi, it wouldn't be good for him.
…
At this time, in Cao Pi's residence.
Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Zhi in front of him.
He slowly said, "What a rare guest."
"Zijian, why are you visiting so late at night?"
Seeing Cao Pi's strange attitude, Cao Zhi was furious.
At this time, Yang Xiu saw the situation and bowed respectfully.
"Yang Xiu greets Young Master Zihuan."
"To be honest, the two of us are here today …"
Before Yang Xiu could finish, Cao Pi sneered.
