Chapter 528 Cao Pi makes a show(2/2)
Just this morning, he discussed another issue with Sima Zhao.
It was not Cao Pi who really killed his father, but Xi Yu. They should have to seek revenge on Xi Yu.
But the two of them knew that it would be difficult to really seek revenge on Xi Yu.
Sima Shi was quietly in front of his father's mourning hall, his eyes were deeply engulfed, and his eyes revealed endless sadness and pain.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then the butler's voice came: "Young Master, General Xu Lei is asking for a visit."
Sima Yi frowned slightly, feeling puzzled in his heart.
He had no close relationship with Xu Lei, so he came to visit him at this time. What was going on?
After thinking for a while, Sima Yi decided to meet Xu Lei. He waved his hand and signaled the butler to bring Xu Lei in.
Xu Lei walked into the mourning hall, his steps were steady and firm, and his body exuded a majestic aura.
He stood quietly in front of Sima Yi's tablet, with a hint of respect in his eyes.
Sima Shi raised his head and said in a low voice: "General Xu, what's the point of being here?"
Xu Lei took a deep breath and said slowly: "I heard that Lord Lingzun passed away, so I came to pay my respects. Although I have no deep friendship with Lingzun, his achievements and virtues have been widely praised in the court."
Sima Shi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Thank you for General Xu's concern. My father's death was a heavy blow to me, and I am still immersed in pain. Since I am here, let's go indoors for tea."
Xu Lei nodded slightly.
He whispered: "Mr. Sima, I understand your feelings. Losing a loved one is a very painful thing, but life still needs to continue. Lord Zun devotes his whole life to his life and dies as his own."
"Thank you very much for General Xu."
But Sima Shi certainly understood the principle of not entering the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. He did not think that the other party was just coming to pay his respects.
Soon, I arrived at Sima Shi's study.
Sima Shi also asked the servants to come over quickly.
"General Xu, don't know what happened to come"?
Of course, Xu Lei also understood that the other party must know that he had something to do and that he could not come for no reason.
Because it was so strange that I had no close friendship with Sima Yi, and those who had close friendships did not come to pay their respects to me. Why should I come here?
"Yes, there are some things indeed."
At this time, Sima Zhao walked in.
His steps were light and steady, and he exuded a sense of confidence and intelligence.
When Sima Shi saw Sima Zhao coming in, he stood up and introduced to him: "Brother, this is General Xu Lei."
Sima Zhao bowed to Xu Lei with his fists and said respectfully: "General Xu Lei, I have heard of the great name for a long time."
Xu Lei looked at Sima Zhao and couldn't help but feel moved.
He felt the extraordinary temperament, the calm and wise eyes emitted by Sima Zhao.
He felt that Sima Zhao was extraordinary and would become a great man in the future.
Xu Lei smiled and replied, "Young Master Sima Zhao, he is indeed a handsome talent and extraordinary talent."
Sima Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you General Xu Lei for the praise. It seems that the general has something to do with my brother. Since that's the case, I will take it back first."
He smiled and finally left.
"Okay, General Xu, now you can tell me what the hell is it?"
Xu Lei told Sima Shi about Cao Pi's performance on Sima Yi's cemetery.
Cao Pi actually couldn't stand up in front of the tomb, which surprised and confused everyone present.
No matter who persuades him, Cao Pi will not listen.
Sima was shocked after hearing this. He widened his eyes and showed an incredible expression on his face.
He did not expect Cao Pi to do such a move, which was completely inconsistent with his understanding of Cao Pi.
However, Sima Yi quickly calmed down and began to think about the motivation behind this.
He frowned and immediately realized that Cao Pi was winning people's hearts, and he was just doing it for others to see.
He said angrily: "Cao Pi is a despicable villain. It is really abominable that he used this method to gain sympathy and support. This is trampling on my father's blood!"
Sima Shi's face turned gloomy, he clenched his fists, and anger flashed in his eyes.
"Young Master Sima, please be careful and never say that."
In fact, for Xu Lei, he certainly understood what Cao Pi was thinking in his stomach.
But he had to do things for Cao Pi, so he persuaded Sima Shi in this way.
Sima Shi's sharp eyes immediately stared at him.
"General Xu, do you think what I said is wrong? I think you are pretending to be confused with your understanding."
Xu Lei immediately blushed and didn't say anything.
Sima Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Pi's methods are really despicable, and he uses any means to make the power."
The atmosphere became tense, and Xu Lei seemed to be able to hear Sima Shi's heartbeat.
"Young Master Sima, maybe Cao Gong really has this meaning, but no matter what, if he can put down his airs, it is valuable to do so."
Xu Lei didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say that.
"I don't need him to put down his airs. He was very disgusting to kneel on my father's cemetery. I hope he leaves quickly, otherwise I'll be polite to him."
Just as Sima Yi and Xu Lei expressed dissatisfaction with Cao Pi's behavior, Sima Zhao walked in again.
Sima Zhao's face was also full of anger, which seemed to be exactly the same as Sima Shi's face.
His appearance surprised Sima Yi and Xu Lei.
Sima Zhao said, "So you are talking about Cao Pi here, I have heard your conversation."
Sima Shi frowned slightly. He didn't expect Sima Zhao to eavesdrop at the door.
He looked at Sima Zhao dissatisfied and asked, "Brother, why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Sima Zhao said: "Brother, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. But I think General Xu Lei must have something important to discuss with us when he comes here. I waited at the door for a while and finally heard some interesting topics."
Sima Shi looked at Sima Zhao and felt helplessness in his heart. He knew that Sima Zhao was smart and clever, but sometimes he was too cunning.
Xu Lei looked at Sima Zhao, and then said to Sima Shi: "I think we should handle the matter in front of us first. Cao Gong knelt in front of the tomb for a long time, and this matter must be handled properly."
Sima Shi said to Sima Zhao: "Brother, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Sima Zhao said angrily: "Brother, I should support your suggestion. He is obviously malicious when doing this with a despicable villain like Cao Pi."
"You two, don't go to extremes."
Xu Lei had already sweated at this time.
He also considered that he would face various blame and difficulties in the future.
If he didn't get things done, but instead told the two brothers about Cao Pi and made them hate Cao Pi even more, then he really did a bad thing with kindness.
"General Xu, if you want to drink tea here, stay. If you want to talk about this, I will blame you for being ruthless." Sima slapped the table angrily.
And in the military camp, many people were worried about Xu Lei.
"General Xu can only be humiliated by himself, but he just doesn't listen to us."
"Although I have never been in contact with Sima Shi, I have heard of him as a kind of person. It would be strange if he agreed to persuade Cao Gong."
"Maybe not only will it not persuade, but it will have murderous intentions to Cao Gong."
"Although General Xu's idea is very good, it is not realistic at all."
At this moment, everyone kept talking.
"But what should I do when Mr. Cao is like this? The army is approaching soon."
Many generals' faces were filled with frown.
"Forget it, we shouldn't think too much, maybe General Xu will do the work."
On the other hand, Xu Lei smiled bitterly after hearing Sima Shi's words.
"I know, no matter what I say, you won't listen to it, but..."
Sima Zhao immediately interrupted him.
"Nothing, but my brother is right. If you want to drink tea, you stay. If you don't want to drink tea, you will see you off."
Sima Zhao's eyes were like eagles, which made Xu Lei feel a sense of absent-mindedness.
