Xun Yu's mansion was not far from his. He arrived after walking for about a mile.
When he arrived at Xun Yu's room, he saw two people standing inside.
Xun Yu and Xun You were both here?
Bai Feng could not help but be curious.
The uncle and nephew were the most authoritative people in the Xun family. Now that they wanted to see him together, they probably had something important to discuss.
"Mr. Bai, you're here. Please take a seat and have some tea."
Xun Yu smiled faintly and raised his hand.
"Mr. Wenruo, Mr. Gongda, there's no need to be so polite."
Bai Feng waved his hand and continued.
"It's just dawn, and you've already invited me here. What do you want to discuss?"
Seeing how polite Xun Yu was, Bai Feng did not believe that the two of them invited him over for a chat.
Bai Feng knew that the Xun family and the Chen family had always been on good terms. The two families had been connected by marriage for a long time. He had killed the leader of the Chen family, Chen Deng.
The two of them definitely did not have a good impression of him. However, they definitely would not dare to take the opportunity to kill him at the Hongmen Banquet.
Not to mention whether they would kill him or not, if Cao Cao found out, the Xun family would probably be ignored by Cao Cao.
It was not that Cao Cao trusted him that much, but he had just been appointed as the Military Advisor by Cao Cao. If the two of them dared to do anything to him …
It was tantamount to openly provoking Boss Cao.
The two of them would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
Xun Yu smiled faintly and said,
"Mr. Bai is a smart man."
"From the attack on Xinye and Jiangdong to the rescue of Gongda and the defense of Xuchang, I can see that you are very talented."
Bai Feng was unmoved. He narrowed his eyes and said,
"Please speak clearly, Mr. Bai."
Xun Yu immediately stopped smiling when he heard that. He said with a serious expression,
"Mr. Bai, do you think the current Prime Minister is a minister of the Great Han Dynasty?"
The moment he said that, Bai Feng was surprised.
Originally, Bai Feng thought that Xun Yu had invited him here either to befriend him or to declare war.
But why would she say that to him?
Although he knew that in history, Xun Yu and Xun You only wanted to serve the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly.
Because of this matter, Xun Yu and Cao Cao did not agree with each other and were sentenced to death.
However, it was better to bury these words in his heart. He wasn't particularly familiar with the two of them, so how could he dare to ask him this?
"I don't understand what Mister Xun means."
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Now, he could only play dumb and not express his stance.
However, Xun Yu slowly approached him. His eyes were a little red, and tears actually flowed down his face.
"Mister, do you think the Prime Minister is still working for the Han Dynasty?"
Xun You was the same. His eyes were a little moist, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
"Why is that, Sir?"
Bai Feng frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Although he knew that Xun Yu's ending was related to Cao Cao's proclamation as King, he didn't know that Cao Cao had yet to proclaim himself as King. Could it be that Xun Yu had already seen through it?
And Xun You's attitude towards Cao Cao's proclamation as King had never been described in the official history. He was still working for Cao Cao.
Why did the two of them act like this?
Xun Yu heaved a long sigh and said,
"Mister, don't play dumb anymore. Please rest assured that no one is eavesdropping around here. I've sent all the servants away."
"Now there are only the three of us in this mansion. Mister, please tell us the truth."
What he said was true. Bai Feng's five senses were extremely sensitive now. The whole mansion was silent. Except for the three of them, there was no sound of breathing at all.
Seeing that Bai Feng still didn't speak, Xun You couldn't help but stand up and sigh.
"Mister Bai, the two of us have figured it out. It's all thanks to Mister Bai."
"Mister, you killed Chen Deng before. Not only did the Prime Minister not blame you, but he even promoted you to the position of Military Counselor."
"Mister Bai must have felt it himself. The Prime Minister obviously wants to use you to suppress the landowning households!"
"That Chen Deng can be said to be the representative of the landowning households. After Mister killed him, the landowning households will not be appeased. How could the Prime Minister not know?"
"Since the Prime Minister has done this, there's only one possibility!"
At this point, Xun Yu wiped his tears and said in a choked voice,
"So it seems that the Prime Minister has long had the intention to rebel. For the Prime Minister, the world is already his."
"Mister Bai can't not know what the landowning households represent."
"The landowning households represent the imperial court. If you touch the landowning households, you'll be touching the roots of the Han Dynasty!"
"If the Prime Minister has no disloyalty and only wants to conquer the world for the Han Dynasty, why would he touch the landowning households?"
Bai Feng finally understood. This time, Xun Yu and Xun You really didn't have any ulterior motives.
Their intentions were very simple. They just wanted to confirm if there was any mistake in their understanding of the situation.
In their eyes, Bai Feng was an absolutely intelligent person. His understanding was definitely above theirs.
Even if Bai Feng was lying and deceiving them, the two of them would still be comforted.
After all, the two of them followed Cao Cao purely because back then, Cao Cao had dared to submit to the traitor Dong Zhuo for the sake of the Han Dynasty.
They had endured such humiliation in order to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and had almost succeeded.
Putting aside Xun Yu, Xun You had also been imprisoned for trying to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
With the same ambition, these two, and even the entire Xun Clan, were willing to follow Cao Cao.
How could Bai Feng not understand their intentions?
But Bai Feng didn't want to deceive them.
The truth was right in front of them. Even if he had deceived them, how could they not be confident?
When the time came, Cao Cao would definitely proclaim himself king. When that time came, wouldn't their endings be the same?
It was better to deal with the pain quickly than to prolong it.
"Actually, you don't need to ask for my opinion. The two of you already have an answer in your hearts."
Bai Feng couldn't bear to say that their loyalty to the Han Dynasty had already moved Bai Feng.
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Xun Yu and Xun You looked at each other.
"Hahahahaha! Mr. Bai, we understand. "
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if relieved.
That's right. Since we already know, why should we deceive ourselves and ask for Bai Feng's opinion?
Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Feng felt a little distressed.
These two were rare talents, and their names would go down in history. They were still so loyal even when the Great Han Dynasty was in decline.
Just this point alone made Bai Feng feel that these two were better than Cao Cao.
But it was just that their ambitions were different.
"Now that you have the answer, what will the two of you do?"
Although Bai Feng had already guessed the outcome, he still couldn't help but ask.
The two of them were speechless.
After a moment of silence, Xun Yu spoke first.
"The two of us serve the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty, not the current Cao Cao.
"If the Prime Minister is wholeheartedly devoted to the Han Dynasty, then we are wrong. We will definitely follow him to death.
"But if the Prime Minister is really disloyal and wants to covet the world, the two of us will definitely not follow him.
"If the Han Dynasty is finished by then, the two of us will definitely follow him."
Xun Yu was very straightforward.
Bai Feng sighed.
"In that case, I won't say more. I only have one piece of advice."
