And the initiator of this incident is Xi Yu.

Who would have thought that Xi Yu, who was once ostracized by the Cao family, would actually start a desperate counterattack after enduring the Cao family three times after saying "nothing can be done until three times".

Starting from Qingzhou's use of military tactics against Yanzhou, his subsequent plans were interlocking and endless, without giving the other side any time to react.

It was also because Sima Yi saw what the Cao family did to Xi Yu after Cao Cao's death that he made up his mind not to be completely devoted to the Cao family.

In fact, at the beginning, their father Sima Fang once told their brothers that it would be best for each of them to have a good relationship with a young master, so that the Sima family can be prosperous forever.

It's a pity that the youngest Cao Chong has passed away long ago, and Cao Ang went to Xuzhou to follow Xi Yu. Only himself and his brother Sima Lang who chose to follow the two brothers Cao Zhi and Cao Pi barely had some weight in Cao Wei, and they were more or less important in the court.

sentence.

Apart from this, the other brothers of the Sima family have little power.

Of course, because their official positions were spread throughout Jizhou and Yanzhou, although their power was not great, they still had some influence.

It's just that... with just such a little influence, he may not be able to save his brother Sima Lang who is following Cao Zhi.

At this moment, he could only pray that his brother was not in the house, otherwise, he might die.

While he was thinking wildly, Cao Pi also got off the carriage and walked towards the stairs of the mansion, followed by hundreds of guards.

After a while, the servant who heard the knock on the door rushed out and opened the door. When he saw Cao Pi, his face turned pale with fright, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

"Greetings... I'm paying my respects to Duke Wei. I don't know that Duke Wei is here and I hope to forgive you. I... I'm going to pass the message here -"

"No need, I just want to see what he is doing?"

After saying that, Cao Pi decisively walked in without even glancing at the servant.

If the old servant in front of him had not been in the house for several years when his father was still alive, Cao Pi, who felt that he was vaguely familiar, would not let this old guy go.

Of course, not being embarrassed does not mean there is no punishment.

The old servant, who was kneeling motionless on the ground, did not dare to stand up from the cold stairs until the sound of Cao Pi's footsteps completely disappeared.

As for Sima Yi, he followed Cao Pi quickly and anxiously, not daring to say a word.

After a while, the guards who were clearing the way in front surrounded the entire courtyard house. At this time, a figure walked out from the front yard.

Sima Yi took a closer look and thought it was going to be bad!

Because this person is none other than his brother Sima Lang.

It seems that... the thing we were most worried about has happened.

Although he was extremely panicked, Sima Yi didn't dare to show any signs of it on his face.

Fortunately, there was no trace of alcohol on Sima Lang's body, and he looked very clear-headed.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Cao Pi, and then quickly walked forward, with a bit of hope and expectation, and bent down deeply.

"My subordinates have met Mr. Wei, and you are finally here!"

Cao Pi naturally recognized the person opposite him. He turned to look at the expressionless Sima Yi, then turned to Sima Lang and asked: "Why? Do you think I'm late? Or do you think I'm delaying your fun?

"

"This... subordinate has no such intention!"

Sima Lang had a crying face and was in a dilemma for a moment before explaining: "My subordinates have tried to persuade the Fourth Young Master several times not to drink alcohol or have fun, but nothing can be done... I can't stand the Fourth Young Master being raped by other people."

The doormen are bewitching you."

"Not only did he not listen to his subordinates, he also ordered them to pour wine and apologize for other guests. Among them was a man named Chen Lin, who was really eloquent. He refuted several attempts by his subordinates to console him, and the Fourth Young Master also trusted him.

.”

"Oh!"

The more Cao Pi listened, the angrier he became, and his face became darker and darker.

He still knew Sima Lang. He was known as a loyal and honest person in Xuchang, so he believed his words to a certain extent.

"Those are just poor Confucian scholars. Just because you can't say it doesn't mean I can't say it!"

As he spoke, he laughed out loud and continued: "Today, I will teach you how to talk to them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked boldly into the front yard, then walked around the intricate porch and walked straight to the middle and back yards.

In fact, after arriving in the middle courtyard, the various sounds of silk and bamboo orchestral music, singing, and talking... all gathered together in one place. When Cao Pi suddenly heard it, his ears were a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Cao Zhi's voice also came over.

Listening to his eloquent comments, the anger in Cao Pi's heart suddenly rose to several levels.

He strode around the central courtyard, and after walking on the bluestone path for a while, he raised his foot and kicked towards the closed door in front of him.

With a bang, the scene inside the door was completely taken in.

In addition to Cao Zhi sitting on the main seat, there are also seven or eight literati dressed as counselors sitting inside, the most conspicuous of which is undoubtedly the man sitting directly below and first on the left.

Probably because he was drunk, he squinted his eyes for a long time when he saw the person coming. After finally confirming that it was Cao Pi, instead of standing up to salute, he said boldly: "This person is the Duke of Wei? How come he looks far less elegant than the Duke of Wei before?"

"

These words are extremely heart-wrenching and extremely bold.

Just because he didn't recognize Cao Pi immediately because he was separated by a door, he said that Cao Pi didn't have the style of his father, Cao Cao.

Cao Zhi smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said, "Sir, please be careful, this is my second brother!"

"Second brother, this is my protégé Chen Lin. It's fate to meet you today. Come on, second brother, let's raise a glass to today's sixth round of wine!"

Cao Zhi was probably drunk now, his cheeks were red, and although he didn't speak with a big tongue, his figure was shaking somewhat uncontrollably.

It's just... He's already drunk like this, but the wine cup in his hand is still stable.

This made Cao Pi unable to control the anger he had suppressed all the way.

With a dark face, he looked at Chen Ling and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, has Sima Lang ever advised Zijian not to drink?"

"What does he know like a piece of wood? You should be free and unfettered when you are in the world. When you are in politics, you should be attentive. After you are relegated, you should also be attentive. You should do whatever you want, take pleasure in time, and enjoy life. This is the true temperament and the true meaning of Jian'an's character.

!”

"You're right, second brother, it's rare for you to come here once. Wouldn't it be nice for us to take advantage of our free time today to recite poems and write poems to show the character of Jian'an?"
