The next day, in Cao Zhi's residence.
"To drink and sing, life is short!"
"Hahahaha, Father's poem is so heroic!"
Cao Zhi drank his favorite wine with a smile on his face.
In the past few days, Bai Feng had returned to Hanzhong directly from the north and did not come to Xuchang. The previous matter was also left unsettled.
Cao Zhi, who had been suppressing himself for a long time, could finally drink to his heart's content.
"Good poem, good poem!"
"As expected of Wei Emperor's work, so heroic!"
The young masters of Xuchang who had come to drink with Cao Zhi chuckled.
At this moment, Yang Xiu hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, giving Cao Zhi a fright. Soon after, he said drunkenly,
He drunkenly said, "De Zu, if you want to drink, why don't you just tell me?"
"Why are you so flustered?"
"Men, prepare a seat for De Zu and pour some wine!"
Yang Xiu's face was grave. He was in no mood to drink.
He cupped his fist and said, "Young Master, now is not the time to drink. De Zu has something important to discuss with Young Master."
Cao Zhi waved his hand carelessly.
"Just say it."
Cao Zhi glanced at the young masters beside him.
Seeing this, they hurriedly put down the wine cups in their hands, stood up in a hurry, and said with a smile,
They chuckled and said, "Since Young Master has something to discuss, let's meet another day!"
Before Cao Zhi could react, these people disappeared without a trace.
Although Yang Xiu was Cao Zhi's study companion, he was also a young master of the Yang Clan!
None of these young masters dared to provoke Yang Xiu.
Seeing Yang Xiu's pale complexion, how could they dare to stay here?
"Look at yourself, De Zu."
"There's still plenty of wine. Why did you chase my friends away?"
Cao Zhi said unhappily. He was clearly a little drunk and had completely forgotten what Yang Xiu had said.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yang Xiu closed the door and hurried to Cao Zhi.
"Young Master, wake up!"
"Jiang Wei will be rushing to Jingzhou from Hanzhong today!"
Cao Zhi waved his hand.
"Go ahead. What does it have to do with me?"
"In any case …"
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Zhi was suddenly enlightened, and his eyes widened.
"What? Is this news reliable? "
Yang Xiu nodded heavily.
"Absolutely!"
"It was a landowning household from Hanzhong who said that he would bring a hundred soldiers to Jingzhou!"
"This matter has spread to the Yang Clan. After I learned of it, I immediately sealed off the news and rushed here to inform Young Master!"
Cao Zhi immediately smiled.
"Good, good, good!"
"This Jiang Wei really isn't afraid of death!"
"Ancestor De, you've been preparing for so long. You can finally put it to use!"
"It's just a hundred soldiers. Don't you have five hundred men of sacrifice under your command?"
"Send them all out and immediately kill that Jiang Wei!"
"If he has a place in the imperial court like Deng Ai, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us!"
Yang Xiu shook his head when he heard that.
"Young Master, don't be hasty!"
"That Jiang Wei is going to Jingzhou. It's said that he has something important to do."
"But he only brought so few people. It's obvious that he's not going to help Jingzhou."
"It's probably to send a letter to Wei Emperor to Bai Feng."
"We can't make a move now. We need to wait for a good opportunity. When they return, we'll make a move!"
Cao Zhi nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.
"Yes, yes!"
"Ancestor De is still the most thoughtful!"
"Are you ready this time? Don't make any more mistakes! "
Yang Xiu whispered.
"Don't worry, Young Master. This batch of men of sacrifice is completely different from before. Although they are also from Dongying, their assassination methods are much more powerful than before."
"Moreover, they have poison in their teeth. Once they are captured alive, they will directly drink the poison and commit suicide."
"Don't worry, they won't leave any traces!"
"And these men of sacrifice are all raised outside Xuchang. Young Master, don't worry!"
Hearing this, Cao Zhi chuckled.
"Great, great!"
"It's really a godsend opportunity! It's all thanks to you, Ancestor De! "
Yang Xiu smiled faintly and said,
"Helping Young Master eliminate dissidents is part of Xiu's duty."
"Young Master, you must pretend that you don't know anything. Especially Young Master Cao Pi, you must not tell him."
Cao Zhi was puzzled.
"Why?"
"Now that we have reached an agreement with Zihuan, we should share information."
Yang Xiu shook his head and said,
"I have a feeling that Young Master Cao Pi doesn't really want to join forces with us. He seems to have some ulterior motives."
"If he finds out about this secret, I'm afraid that after dealing with Bai Feng, he will have something on Young Master."
"When the time comes, he will benefit from it!"
"Although this is only Xiu's guess, it's at least 90% likely!"
Cao Zhi patted his head and said,
"Yes, Ancestor De is right."
"This Young Master is drunk."
"Ancestor De, since that's the case, let's wait for a good opportunity and drink a cup of celebratory wine first!"
Yang Xiu also smiled faintly and downed the wine that Cao Zhi handed over.
Yang Xiu was in an extremely good mood.
He didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
Although Li Cunxiao and the hundred soldiers were not easy to deal with, his target was only Jiang Wei, not all of them.
Five hundred men of sacrifice cost Yang Xiu a lot of money.
But if he could get rid of Jiang Wei,
It didn't matter how much money he had to spend.
However, Yang Xiu still had some doubts that this was a trap set by Bai Feng.
However, when he sent someone to inquire about it, he indeed saw Jiang Wei leading a small group of people and quietly leaving Hanzhong.
But perhaps Jiang Wei didn't expect that the landowning households in Hanzhong had spies everywhere.
This kind of thing naturally couldn't escape their eyes.
After receiving confirmation, Yang Xiu was relieved.
After all, Jiang Wei really came out.
Even if Jiang Wei wanted to be bait, as long as he killed him, he could achieve his goal.
At that time, it wouldn't matter even if he sent out all five hundred men of sacrifice.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai were existences that Bai Feng wanted to develop into his right-hand men.
Deng Ai already had a high official position and was difficult to shake.
But as long as he could kill Jiang Wei, it was equivalent to cutting off one of Bai Feng's arms.
No matter how great Deng Ai's contributions were, he was still alone in the imperial court.
The main authority would still be in Cao Zhi's hands.
Cao Pi didn't rope in landowning households, and most of them had a good relationship with Cao Zhi.
Moreover, although Cao Zhi had made a mistake like breaking into the White Horse Gate at night, he hadn't lost Wei Emperor's favor.
In that case, the position of the imperial court would definitely be Cao Zhi's!
In the future, the Yang family would definitely soar, suppress the landowning households, and become the largest landowning household in the world!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiu was very happy and couldn't help but drink another cup of wine.
