It was night.
The stars were shining brightly.
The spring rain yesterday had washed away the dust on the steps of the ancestral temple.
In the dark night.
A figure walked straight towards the ancestral temple.
That person was Zhao Zilong.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, two guards of the ancestral temple blocked Zhao Zilong's way.
Zhao Zilong nodded slightly, took out his token, and waved it in front of the two.
"I am Zhao Zilong. I am going to the ancestral temple to bid farewell to Cao Cao!”
When the two guards heard this, they looked at each other and let them in.
Zhao Zilong also walked up the stairs, one step at a time.
Today, you, Cao Cao, can let me go. It can be considered as saving my life.
In the future, if you fall into my hands…
I'll let you off for the time being!
Zhao Zilong's thoughts came back to him, and he made up his mind.
At this moment, Cao Cao had already received a report from his subordinates.
Zhao Zilong was here!
"Your Majesty, it's up to our acting skills now.”
Cao Cao said indifferently, then glanced at the crowd.
"Understood," said Liu Xie.
Pa!
Cao Cao clenched his right hand into a fist and the guards retreated.
Although he knew that Zhao Zilong was outside the ancestral temple, he still pretended not to notice.
"Sigh, Your Majesty, I didn't expect Brother Xuande to abandon me in the end!" he sighed.”
Liu Xie naturally reacted and persuaded,"Prime minister, don't be too sad, your health is more important.”
Zhao Zilong, who was standing outside the ancestral temple, stopped in his tracks.
What did Cao Cao mean?
You clearly wanted to kill Liu Bei, so why are you saying this now?
Could it be that there was another mystery behind this matter?
Thinking of this, he hid outside the door and pressed his ear against the wall. He did not immediately enter the ancestral temple.
Firstly, it was extremely impolite to disturb the emperor's worship of his ancestors.
Secondly, he also wanted to know what Cao Cao wanted to say.
"Your Majesty, how can I not be sad? I, Cao Cao, am loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in the face of the Han Dynasty's survival, who stood up?”
"Only I, Cao Cao!"
"Only I, Cao Cao, saved His Majesty from the abyss of suffering. Heaven and earth can witness my sincerity! But gossip is terrible!"
As he spoke, he sighed again.
Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao, clenching his fists, feeling extremely indignant.
Cao Cao, you are clearly threatening me and making me your puppet. To think that you can still say such words now?
Won't your old face turn red?
If I were a few years younger, wouldn't I have been fooled by you?
However, Liu Xie knew that if he didn't cooperate now, he would be embarrassed in the future.
He sighed.
"Prime Minister, you are a righteous person. You are willing to bear the infamy to help the Han Dynasty, but now you have been misunderstood by the world. I didn't expect that even Imperial Uncle Liu would be the same! Why is he so selfish?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Cao Cao's expression.
Seeing that Cao Cao had no intention of interrupting him, the grief in his heart became even more difficult to calm down.
He gritted his teeth and said,"Uncle Liu, you're really judging a gentleman's belly with your petty heart!"”
Hearing this, Cao Cao opened his eyes.
He looked at Liu Xie with his eagle eyes, satisfaction written all over his face.
What was even more outrageous was that he actually gave her a thumbs up.
These lines had not been rehearsed beforehand.
Liu Xiezhen was a peerless actor. He acted so well that he almost believed it!
"Hey!"
Cao Cao sighed and said with a sorrowful expression,"This is not Brother Xuande's fault. I can only blame myself. I, Cao Cao, am the one who bears the infamy. Everyone says that I, Cao Cao, am a cunning and tyrannical person.”
Liu Xie, ah, Liu Xie, if you cooperate with me today and put on a good show.
But you won't be spared the benefits!
However, why did the words 'treacherous, cunning, and tyrannical' sound so much like praise when they came out of my mouth?
After thinking about it, he closed his eyes again and thought about the next script in his mind.
Outside the ancestral temple, Zhao Zilong was shocked.
From the conversation between the two of them, it was really a wise monarch and a wise minister!
How could such a scene happen to Cao Cao and Emperor Liu Xie?
This was clearly…
This was clearly too discordant!
Zhao Zilong didn't believe it.
He wiped his ears. I must have heard wrong.
Cao Cao's treachery was known to everyone, and there was no way he could be wrong.
If he really wanted to help the Han Dynasty, why didn't he let Liu Xie take charge of the army?
Why did he still want to monopolize military and political power?
Zhao Zilong couldn't understand at all.
In the ancestral temple.
Liu Xie was silent for a while.
He thought to himself,'You're finally right. You, Cao Cao, are a crafty, cunning, and tyrannical person.'
However, how could he dare to say this?
Seeing that Liu Xie did not speak, Cao Cao opened his eyes.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and as sharp as a knife.
That sharp and fierce aura actually caused Liu Xie's body to tremble.
"Imperial Uncle Liu has forgotten how happy the Prime Minister was when he sought refuge with me!" he said hurriedly.”
"I vaguely remember that the Prime Minister said to me that day: With Liu Xuande's support, the Han Dynasty was like a fish in water.”
After hearing this sentence.
Zhao Zilong's arms suddenly dropped.
Cao Cao, did he really think so?
Liu Bei, were you really wrong?
Cao Cao, perhaps he is not the person you think he is?
He also remembered that although Cao Cao had captured him alive these few days, he had never mistreated him.
Even when he wanted to leave, he didn't stop him.
Could it be that Cao Cao had really been misunderstood?
The knot in Zhao Zilong's heart was slowly resolved by Xu Wen's plan!
How could he have imagined that the scene he saw was actually designed by an ordinary tea stall owner?
If Zhao Zilong knew about this…
Then, he would probably be shocked because a mere person could plot against the world without even stepping out of the thatched cottage. How shocking was this!
