When Cao Cao arrived at the Guo family's tomb, white smoke was rising from the window of the straw hut. Although it was a distance away, he could still smell the smell of incense. Guo Tai stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, just like when he served Guo Jia.
"In the past, Fengxiao also liked to burn incense and boil wine. Every time I went to visit, I could see Guo Tai guarding outside the door.”
Cao Cao's joy of obtaining the heads of the two Yuan brothers had faded, replaced by sadness.
Xu Chu's expression was gloomy as well. He looked at Guo Jia's grave in front of him and suddenly shed tears.
Seeing that Cao Cao had arrived as promised, Guo Tai was overjoyed. He walked over quietly and saw that Xu Chu was carrying two boxes. He guessed something.
"Prime minister, you've finally come! I thought you had forgotten about my second brother and would not come again.”
"What are you talking about? I followed Mister's plan and immediately rushed over after taking Er Yuan's head. I didn't dare to delay for even a moment in the middle!”
As Cao Cao spoke, he took the box from Xu Chu's hand and shook it. Two Yuan's head inside immediately made a series of banging sounds.
"Good, good, good!" When Guo Tai heard that Yuan Er's head was indeed taken, his eyes couldn't help but heat up. He thought of Guo Jia's dying wish, thought of Guo Yu's strange plan being approved and used by Cao Cao, and thought of the Guo family's promising future. He was filled with emotions and choked up.
Seeing him like this, Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the two heads had subdued Guo Tai and Guo Yu, so he was looking forward to this trip.
"Is Mister in the hut?"
"Yes, yes!"
"If Mister isn't back to sleep, please inform him that I, Cao Cao, have visited him again.”
"Go back to sleep?" Guo Tai, on the other hand, was amused by Cao Cao." Prime Minister, you must be joking. Second Brother is not sleeping. It's just that a few old friends from Jingzhou heard that Feng Xiao had passed away and sent letters. Second Brother is busy replying to them.”
An old friend from Jing State?
Cao Cao recalled the letter that Guo Yu had sent to Guo Jia and realized who these so-called old friends were.
"Could it be that it's a letter from the wandering clouds and wild cranes like Shui Jing and Pang De Gong?”
Guo Tai nodded proudly.”
Cao Cao looked at the straw hut and felt that the white smoke seemed even more elegant, so he was stunned.
"If it wasn't for Feng Xiao's sudden departure, I'm afraid that Teacher would still be in Jing Xiang, touring the mountains and rivers with those immortals and discussing the world! Such a celestial being wants to give me advice now, I can't bear it.”
As he spoke, Cao Cao was secretly happy that he had taken in an immortal for his own use.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chu could not help but push him."My lord, my lord? Wake up! It's hard to say whether Little Sir is willing to see you or not. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Cao Cao's mood was ruined by Xu Chu and he could not help but glare at him.
"Since Mister is replying, then I will wait here for a while. When Mister is free, please inform him for me.”
Guo Tai immediately went to look outside the straw hut and saw that Guo Yu had already put away the letter.
"Second brother, are you free now?" Guo Tai asked.
"You can be considered to be free. Looking at your appearance, could it be that the prime minister has come?”
"That's right! The Prime Minister has also brought the heads of Yuan Er and has been waiting for you outside for a while!”
"The head has arrived?" Guo Yu immediately pushed open the door and walked out in a hurry. He only glanced at Cao Cao once before his eyes focused on the two boxes.
Cao Cao knew what he meant and immediately carried the box over.
"Sir, I didn't fail my mission and took the head of Yuan Er!”
Guo Yu took the box and opened it. There were indeed two heads inside. Both of them were glaring angrily, showing their unwillingness before they died.
"Good, good! His eldest brother's last wish had finally been fulfilled! This is a joyous occasion. I want to personally offer sacrifices in front of my eldest brother's grave!”
Guo Yu then presented the two Yuan's heads and rambled on in front of Guo Jia's tomb for half a day. During this time, he kept pouring wine. One cup was poured on the yellow soil as a toast to Guo Jia, and the other was drunk by himself.
After a long time, Guo Yu gradually passed out and was carried into the straw hut by Xu Chu.
Guo Tai was a little apologetic." Prime Minister, please forgive me. Second Brother is thinking of his late brother. Today, I was too happy to get Second Yuan's head, so I got drunk and caused trouble. When he wakes up tomorrow, I will ask him to apologize to the Prime Minister.”
Cao Cao waved his hand." Fengxiao and I know each other very well. I understand your heart the best!" If I wasn't in a hurry to see Sir, I would have gotten drunk with Feng Xiao! You can leave. Today, Zhongkang and I will sleep in the straw hut and take care of teacher together.”
Guo Tai opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Cao Cao to return to the city. However, he remembered that Cao Cao was doing this to please Guo Yu, so he didn't say much. After returning with two blankets, he really left Guo Yu in Cao Cao's care.
"My Lord, you are the Prime Minister, you can't sleep on the ground! Why don't I throw Little Sir on the ground and let you sleep on it?”Xu Chu scratched his head, deliberately trying to disgust Cao Cao.
"Zhongkang, why are you becoming more and more mischievous these days?”Cao Cao couldn't help but complain," You threw Sir on the ground, and I still have the face to talk to Sir tomorrow?”
Guo Yu was in a good mood today and had really drunk too much. In his daze, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully using the scheme. You have received the system reward: Ship Craftsmanship (improved)"
"Turret Ship (improved): The improved turreted ship can overcome the problem of unstable center of gravity caused by the tall hull. It is no longer limited to coastal battles and can achieve long-distance sailing. The ship was equipped with an archery room, a ballista, and a catapult. It was a weapon for a great sea battle!”
Guo Yu couldn't help but cheer in his sleep,""With this treasured ship, I think that Sun Quan can still rest easy?”
Cao Cao was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by Guo Yu's ravings. Seeing that Guo Yu was still sleeping soundly, he felt slightly relieved.
However, when she thought of what she had just heard, she could not help but ponder over it repeatedly, and she could not fall asleep anymore.
"Sun Quan is a tiger in Jiangdong, and his navy is powerful. Under Zhou Yu's command, he has been attacking Jiangxia many times. I heard that Huang Zu was beaten so badly that he didn't even dare to show his face!”
"I wonder what's so special about the treasured ship that Mister spoke of that Sun Quan can't rest easy?”
Now that the north had been settled, Cao Cao was already considering conquering Liangzhou in the west or pacifying Jing Yang in the south.
In order to pacify Jing Yang, he had to rely on the navy, and Cao Cao knew this.
Therefore, he was especially sensitive to Guo Yu's words.
"Regardless of whether Mr. Tomorrow is willing to come out and help, I have to ask about this treasure ship! If he could get the teacher's guidance, perhaps it would not be so difficult to pacify Jing Yang!”
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel his entire body heat up. He stared at Guo Yu with a burning gaze.
"When ambition dies, there is filial piety. When filial piety dies, there is Guo Yu! Guo Yu's talent was unfathomable! Just the current pieces of the claw are enough for me to benefit endlessly! He really didn't know how many more secrets he had! If I can get his help, I can look forward to the future!”
