It's just that Guo Jia and others, like Cao Cao, felt that the Chuanguo Yuxi had fallen into Cao Mao's hands.

But he didn't want Cao Mao to answer Cao Cao like this.

This caught them off guard.

Xun Yu considered his words carefully and said carefully,

"My lord, it's really not necessary. It's just a jade seal passed down to the country. If you lose it, you lose it."

Cao Cao frowned slightly, with a displeased expression,
"I'm afraid Chuan Guo Yuxi was hidden by him!"

Guo Jia and Xun Yu secretly looked at each other.

They knew in their hearts that Cao Cao's suspicious character broke out.

Guo Jia thought for a moment, then said softly,

"My lord, compared with Chuan Guo Yuxi, ensuring the loyalty of Mr. Su Lie to the Cao family is the most important thing."

"That's right, even if the young master keeps the jade seal of the country, does the lord still think that he will have something different?"

Xun Yu also nodded in agreement.

They were considered to have received Cao Mao's favor in the last clothing edict incident, so their words were somewhat biased towards Cao Mao.

Even if there were no such factors, Guo Jia and Xun Yu would not suggest that Cao Cao and Cao Mao had an unhappiness because of passing on the jade seal of the country.

After all, Cao Mao's ability lies there.

If Cao Cao scolded Cao Mao today because of the jade seal passed on to the country, there is no need to wait until tomorrow. Tonight, forces such as Yuan Shao and Sun Ce will send people to win over Cao Mao.

Hearing what the two said, Cheng Yu wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again.

His hesitant appearance fell into Cao Cao's eyes.

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and he said softly,
"I see, you go down for now."

He waved his hand, and the three of them cupped their hands and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly spoke and stopped Cheng Yu,
"Zhongde, you stay here for now, I have something to tell you."

"Here!"

Cheng Yu stopped in his tracks.

After Guo Jia and Xun Yu left, Cao Cao smiled lightly.
"Zhongde, just now I saw that you hesitated to speak, but what do you want to say?"

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

"I hope my lord will forgive my remarks."

"Don't worry, I will never blame you for your remarks."

Cao Cao laughed generously.

"Then I will say it straight, my lord."

Cheng Yu straightened his back, with a dignified expression,
"I'm afraid that Mr. Su Lie's ambition is far greater than that of the lord!"

Cao Cao's complexion changed slightly, but he smiled and said,

"Why did Zhongde say that?"

"Liu Bei has a tenacious character and is well-known. He can be called a hero in the world, but this is a serious concern for you, Prime Minister."

"But after Mr. Su Lie captured Xuzhou, he let Liu Bei go."

"And when he besieged Sun Quan in Huainan, he had the opportunity to capture him alive, take Sun Quan as a hostage, and then blackmail Jiangdong Sun Ce."

"But he made a deal with Sun Ce, exchanging Sun Quan for money and beautiful women."

"Now the young master has hidden the Jade Seal of Chuanguo privately. If he has no ambition, will the lord believe it?"

Cheng Yu's eyes were piercing, and he slowly expressed the thoughts in his heart.

Cao Cao was silent, but his eyes were shining brightly.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu continued,

"I heard that your son founded an intelligence agency called Factory Guard, not to mention Xu Du, even Hebei and Jiangdong have spies from Factory Guard."

"It can be seen from this that the son's ambition is definitely not inferior to the lord's!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly,

"Zhongde, I understand, you go down for now."

"As ordered."

Cheng Yu turned and left.

After Cao Cao was left alone in the study, his complexion became gloomy.

Yes, what Cheng Yu said really hit his heart.

Cao Mao included heroes such as Guan Yu and Lu Bu in his pocket, and vigorously developed the factory guards. This move has already made Cao Cao a little suspicious.

But the reason why he didn't do it for a long time.

One is that he needs to rely on Cao Mao's ability, and the other is that Cao Mao is his own son!

But then again, so what about my own son.

Back then, I didn't like to see their mother and son. If Cao Mao felt jealous, what should I do?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao had a complicated expression on his face, and he sighed for a long time, and said to himself,
"Mao'er, don't let your father down..."

……

After Cao Mao bid farewell to Cao Cao, he first went to the back house of the prime minister's mansion, visited his mother Zhao Ji, and then returned to his mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, he saw a group of young women waiting for him.

"Husband..."

They exclaimed in unison.

Cao Mao raised his eyes and saw Mi Luyun, Lu Lingqi, Guo Zhao, Zhang Chunhua, Zhen Mi, Guan Feng, Zhang Xingcai, Huang Yueying, and Bu Lianshi all looking at him affectionately in their beautiful eyes.

He couldn't help but smiled, stepped forward a few steps, and embraced them in his arms in turn.

Guan Feng, Zhang Xingcai, Huang Yueying, Bu Lianshi are alright,

The other women hadn't seen Cao Mao for so long, and they missed her so much that they almost shed tears.

This made Cao Mao coax for a while.

After some intimacy, the mood of the girls calmed down, and Cao Mao then chatted with them about the business in the mansion.

During the time when Cao Mao was not in Xudu, Mi Luyun was in charge of the Moutai business, with Zhang Chunhua and Guo Zhao assisting inside, and Cao Yingjie and Cao Fengyang taking care of outside, the business was safe and sound.

As for the three girls, Lu Lingqi, Guan Feng, and Zhang Xingcai, they practice martial arts when they have nothing to do.

It's just that Zhen Mi is pitiful, since she has nothing to do, she misses Cao Mao very much.

Cao Mao smiled slightly and said to the women,

"In a few days, I plan to return to Hanoi County, and then you will go with me."

The girls were slightly taken aback, and then they all cheered.

They didn't want to stay in Xudu and part with Cao Mao.

But Mi Luyun frowned slightly, looked at Cao Mao with a puzzled expression, and said softly,

"My lord, is there any change?"

Cao Mao just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

Today, when Cao Cao asked about Chuanguo Yuxi, Cao Maoneng could clearly sense that something was wrong with his attitude.

Cao Mao had naturally heard the reports from the spies of the factory guards about the rumors in the Xu capital.

Combining the two, Cao Mao couldn't help being cautious.

After all, Cao Cao was famous for his suspicious personality in history.

Now under his suspicion, Cao Mao must be fully prepared.

In the eyes of overlords like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce, all things are as insignificant as ants in the face of the great event of fighting for world hegemony.

Don't look at Cao Mao's great scenery now, and he is deeply loved by Cao Cao.

But he also knew that he was not indispensable in Cao Cao's eyes.

If sacrificing himself can achieve the unification of the world, then Cao Cao will never be merciful.

This is a qualified hero!

If Cao Mao wants to dispel Cao Cao's doubts, the best way is to hand in the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and dedicate all the forces under his command to Cao Cao.

But is it possible?
Cao Mao's rebirth is to establish a career, not to be mediocre.

How could he hand over his wealth and life to Cao Cao?
