Hearing Cao Pi's words, Yang Xiu could only grit his teeth and remain silent.
There was nothing he could do about it.
Although Yang Xiu's status was prominent, he was still far from Cao Pi's.
He just didn't expect that Cao Pi wouldn't give him any face at all.
Cao Zhi's heart immediately burned with anger.
Even if Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu didn't have a good relationship, Yang Xiu was still Cao Zhi's subordinate.
One had to look at the owner before beating a dog.
Cao Pi's words weren't slapping Yang Xiu's face, but Cao Zhi's.
Moreover, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu were very close.
Cao Zhi said coldly:
"Second Brother, don't go too far!"
As soon as he said this, Yang Xiu gently tugged at Cao Zhi's sleeve, indicating that Cao Zhi should suppress his anger.
After all, the two of them had come here to ask for a favor, so they had to restrain themselves no matter what.
Cao Zhi suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at Cao Pi.
However, Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhi disapprovingly and said:
"Zijian, if you have something to ask of me, just tell me the purpose of your visit."
"You and I are brothers, there's no need to be so polite."
Cao Zhi took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Second Brother, do you know that Bai Feng has already come to Xuchang City?"
Cao Pi sneered:
"Father went to welcome him personally, how could I not know?"
Cao Zhi continued:
"Okay, then Second Brother, do you know what impact Bai Feng's return will have on the two of us?"
Hearing this, Cao Pi couldn't help but frown slightly:
"What a joke, Bai Feng came back to look for Father, what does it have to do with the two of us?"
Cao Zhi sighed faintly:
"Second Brother, do you still not understand?"
"Today, I received news that Imperial Father wants to marry Elder Sister to Bai Feng."
"From now on, Bai Feng is a member of the Cao family."
"If that's the case, do you think it has anything to do with us?"
Hearing Cao Zhi's words, Cao Pi couldn't help but frown and ponder for a moment.
Bai Feng was about to become a member of the Cao family?
Thinking of this, Cao Pi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"What are you trying to say?"
Cao Zhi said coldly.
"Don't tell me that second brother still doesn't understand what I mean?"
"Bai Feng has become a member of the Cao family. This means that Father has acknowledged him."
"Who knows, it might become an obstacle to our progress in the future!"
Cao Zhi had already made it very obvious. He was just short of saying that he would participate in the struggle for the position of Crown Prince.
Even if Cao Pi pretended not to understand, he couldn't pretend anymore.
"Then what do you mean by coming here this time?"
Cao Pi sighed slowly and asked.
To be honest, Cao Pi was still a little flustered.
Although Cao Cao might not do such a thing and hand over the country to someone with a different surname.
However, the current situation was very different.
Bai Feng was almost too perfect, so much so that in the whole world,
It was hard to find anyone who could match him.
Whether it was strategy, martial strategy, or personal strength, he was far superior to all the young talents in the world.
Even veteran top generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were inferior to Bai Feng.
Compared to Bai Feng, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were much inferior.
Originally, Cao Zhi's poems were not bad, and Cao Cao was deeply fond of them.
However, Bai Feng's appearance now made the two of them pale.
Since then, the two of them had been full of hostility toward Bai Feng.
However, now that Bai Feng was going to join the Cao family, it was a situation where their interests were aligned.
The two of them were not afraid of this for no reason.
However, the two of them didn't know that Bai Feng had no intention of competing with them for the throne, and neither did Cao Cao for the time being.
However, this didn't mean that the two of them didn't think too much about it.
"It's very simple. You and I will work together and drive that Bai Feng out."
"Otherwise, both of us will be in danger!"
Cao Zhi said with an extremely vicious expression.
The current Cao Zhi couldn't wait to use all his means to drive Bai Feng out of Xuchang, and even out of the Cao camp.
"Since Zijian has this idea, do you have a countermeasure?"
Cao Pi didn't disagree with Cao Zhi's point of view and asked.
Obviously, Cao Pi also had this idea.
Cao Zhi said in a low voice.
"As for the countermeasure, it will be at the recruitment later."
"I will come to discuss it with Second Brother on the eve of the recruitment."
"Right now, I only have one question for Second Brother. Are you willing to join?"
Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu.
…
Fifteen minutes later.
Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu came out of Cao Pi's residence with ugly expressions.
The two of them didn't speak on the way back until they reached Cao Zhi's residence.
Cao Zhi finally couldn't hold back and said through gritted teeth.
"Zihuan, what do you mean by this?"
"If you agree, you agree. If you don't agree, you don't agree. Are you trying to brush me off with just a few words?"
"What do you take me for?!"
At this moment, Yang Xiu sighed.
"Young Master, please calm down. Actually, I expected Young Master Cao Pi to do this."
Cao Zhi looked at Yang Xiu in confusion.
Yang Xiu continued.
"Young Master, think about it carefully. Young Master Cao Pi must have other forces behind him. He must have discussed with them before doing this."
"Let's wait for another day. After tomorrow, we will see Young Master Cao Pi's reply."
With that, Cao Zhi had no choice but to agree.
Two days later, it would be the day of the recruitment.
At that time, the whole of Xuchang would be bustling with activity. Many young talents from all the provinces and counties would come.
Some wanted to be promoted, some wanted to soar, and some just wanted to watch the fun.
In short, there would be a lot of people.
As long as they could create a commotion at this time, it would be disadvantageous to Bai Feng.
Once the people's support for Bai Feng wavered, they would be halfway to success.
After all, in Cao Zhi's eyes, the Wei Emperor trusted Bai Feng deeply because of the people's support.
At the same time, in Bai Feng's residence.
Bai Feng did not sleep for the entire night. He sat on his bed and began to study the new system.
To be honest, after the system was updated, Bai Feng was still unclear about the new functions of the system.
He only knew that the System Store had added many good items.
However, other than seeds and the like, the other items were not useful to Bai Feng at the moment.
Almost everything that could be used in the System Store had been bought by Bai Feng.
Ever since he took Sun Shangxiang as his subordinate, he had been rewarded with 100,000 reputation points.
These reputation points could not only be used to exchange for items, but they could also unlock side missions.
With side missions, there would be different rewards.
Opening side missions was like opening a blind box. The difficulty was random, and the rewards were determined by the difficulty.
The higher the difficulty, the greater the rewards. However, the rewards were also random.
In other words, it was very likely that he would get a mission that rewarded reputation points when opening a side mission!
