Chapter 571 Dealing with Cao Pi(2/3)

"Or it's just thrown it in the wilderness." Zhou Yu suggested.

Zhao Yun frowned and retorted: "No matter what, Cao Pi is also a hero of his generation. It seems inappropriate to treat him like this. It is better to bury him with a grand ceremony. I believe the Prime Minister will be happy to see this. I will decide this matter. If the Prime Minister blames it, I will bear all the consequences."

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhou Yu nodded in agreement: "This is very good, and handling this way will also be beneficial to the Prime Minister's reputation."

"You go find a suitable place and then buy a coffin." Zhao Yun ordered.

The soldiers took the order and left.

The soldiers acted quickly and efficiently, and soon they found a suitable place and the coffin was successfully purchased.

Cao Pi's body was carefully placed into the coffin.

In this way, Cao Pi was eventually buried.

The instructions in the letter were clear that after completing the task of burying Cao Pi, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu needed to report the news to Liu Xie.

So, they embarked on a journey to the place where Liu Xie was.

"I heard that the manor where Your Majesty lives is very good, and we have never been there yet." Zhou Yu said to Zhao Yun as he walked.

"Yes, I'll have a chance to see its charm this time." Zhao Yun responded.

Along the way, they passed through green mountains and clear waters, passing through bustling towns and quiet villages.

The wind gently brushed across the cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness.

Finally, they came to the manor where Liu Xie lived. The solemn door was closed tightly, and the stone lion in front of the door was lifelike.

Zhao Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker. After a while, the door slowly opened and a eunuch appeared in front of them.

"What are you doing with you?" the eunuch asked.

"We are here to report to Your Majesty about Cao Pi at the order of the Prime Minister." Zhao Yun said.

"Since that's the case, you guys come with me."

When Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu stepped into the manor, they saw that the courtyard was decorated in exquisite and elegant manner, with flowers, plants and trees scattered in an orderly manner.

A clear stream flows, and the rockery by the stream is rugged.

Walking through the courtyard, they came to the living room.

Liu Xie was sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, reading a book with a focused expression.

"See Your Majesty!" Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu bowed and bowed.

Liu Xie put down the book and stood up with a smile.

"It's you, is there anything?"

The two of them told me about handling Cao Pi.

Liu Xie really didn't expect that Xi Yu had arranged such a thing.

If he had long hoped that Cao Pi would die, Xi Yu should do so.

Moreover, Xi Yu knew his thoughts, so he asked the two of them to report to him.

So at this moment, Liu Xie also showed a smile on his face.

"That beast should have died long ago. The Prime Minister is eliminating the harm for the people."

When Liu Xie learned that Cao Pi was dead, he took the courage to make his own remarks.

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun looked at each other.

They naturally understood that Liu Xie had always hated Cao Pi to the core.

Only then did Liu Xie realize that Xi Yu actually went to Jiangnan.

After a while, Zhao Yun offered to say goodbye.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, we will take it back first."

"Okay, you guys go. I hope you come here often in the future."

Now Liu Xie has really regarded this place as his home.

The two of them left.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu walked side by side on the road, talking while walking.

"The emperor is living a very pure mind and few desires now, but it is actually very good." Zhao Yun said.

"Maybe the emperor is also depressed. After all, the implementation of constitutional monarchy actually weakened his power." Zhou Yu said thoughtfully.

Zhao Yun shook his head slightly.

"I think the emperor may be happy about this. You think that if the country was taken away by others, the emperor's life would probably be difficult to protect. It would be a blessing to be able to save his life now."

"With that being said, the weakening of power is not an easy thing for anyone to accept," Zhou Yu said.

"What I said is very much. However, the times are changing and the system needs to change accordingly. It is a wise move for the emperor to put the overall situation first." Zhao Yun looked ahead with a firm look.

On the other side, Xi Yu and Xiao Cui rode on the horse and moved forward slowly.

Xi Yu suddenly felt a premonition in his heart, and he stopped the horse's reins.

"I feel that Cao Pi should be dead." Xi Yu said softly.

Xiao Cui looked at him in surprise.

"How do you know? Is this what you call telepathy?"

Xi Yu nodded.

"My telepathy has always been very accurate. But..." His voice was slightly low, and his mood seemed very complicated.

Xiao Cui looked at him silently, as if she could understand his inner contradictions.

"This is the destined ending sooner or later." Xi Yu sighed long.

Xiao Cui sat on the horse's back and shook her feet gently.

She looked at Xi Yu with anticipation and said, "Sir, can you tell me a story?"

Xi Yu asked with a smile: "What kind of story do you want to hear?"

Xiao Cui thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "Anything is fine, just tell some things you have experienced or stories about war."

Xi Yu nodded, his eyes turned into the distance, and his thoughts gradually drifted back to the past.

"Then I will tell you about my experience with Cao Cao." Xi Yu's voice was filled with emotion.

The breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of the fields in the distance.

"Once, Cao Cao led a large army to fight. On the battlefield, flags fluttered, and the sound of killing shook the sky. As a general, I led the way and charged into battle..."

Xi Yu's story is vivid and exciting, as if he brings Xiao Cui back to the battlefield full of gunpowder.

Xiao Cui listened attentively, her eyes full of admiration and appreciation for Xi Yu.

As the story progressed, Xi Yu's expression became serious and sometimes smiled.

Xiao Cui was deeply attracted by Xi Yu's story. She interjected a few words from time to time and asked for some details. Xi Yu also patiently answered her questions.

Gradually, their conversations were integrated into this peaceful landscape.

Xiao Cui was particularly happy to listen to Xi Yu’s story.

She originally thought that Xi Yu would hate her for some reason, but she didn't expect that Xi Yu was willing to tell her a story.

So, Xi Yu suddenly heard Xiao Cui's crying.

He turned his head and asked with concern: "Xiao Cui, why are you crying?"

Xiao Cui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice choked.

"I was so moved. I thought I had become a thorn in your side."

Xi Yu's expression became serious.

He said to Xiao Cui seriously: "As long as you are honest and have no special thoughts, I won't hate you."

Xiao Cui nodded slightly, her heart full of gratitude.

Jia Xu was depressed and came to a restaurant alone.

He sat by the window and looked at the crowded streets, and a hint of loneliness rose in his heart.

He ordered a few pots of wine and poured it into his stomach one by one.

After a while, Jia Xu's mood became heavier.

He thought, "I have made great contributions to the Prime Minister. What should he discuss with me if he has anything, why did he ignore me?"

The noise in the restaurant was coming one after another, but Jia Xu's heart became more and more peaceful, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

Jia Xu kept pouring alcohol on himself and numbing the pain in his heart.

His hands were trembling slightly, and the wine glass collided with the tabletop with a crisp sound.

"Isn't everything I do worthy of his trust?" Jia Xu smiled bitterly.
