Chapter 141
"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu Huang stood up.

He knew that it was time for him to play his role, and he had to cooperate with Cao Cao to protect Gao Shun.

"Yi Cong and I are good friends. Yi Cong has always been a loyal and courageous person. This time must be an accident."

Xu Huang spoke, and several other people also spoke intermittently, including Xiahou Dun who had a somewhat tense relationship with Gao Shun.

Seeing that his generals understood what he meant, the smile on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth became more and more intense.

Gao Shun did it unintentionally, of course he knew it well, but it didn't affect him using this incident to test Liu Xie's bottom line.

The mistake Gao Shun made was not a small one. To be honest, it would be no problem to kill everyone in his family.

But whether Gao Shun can be safe and sound depends on whether Liu Xie wants to punish him or not, and whether Cao Cao wants to protect him.

The latter accounted for a significantly larger proportion.

And Cao Cao naturally made a choice, Bao.

He has this confidence, and now she can save anyone she wants, as long as that person doesn't chase Liu Xie in the court with a knife, he can save it.

Now, relying on the persuasion of himself and several generals in Shenhu, it is impossible for Liu Xie to punish Gao Shun.

Therefore, Cao Cao had to observe Liu Xie's reaction, and observe Liu Xie's expression after he had to compromise due to his strength.

Is it numb?Still have to be indifferent?Is it depressed?Or angry?This will affect how much benefit he can get from Liu Xie in the future.

Cao Cao looked at Gao Shun whose face was getting better gradually, then at Liu Xie who was uncertain, and nodded slightly.

He has done what he should do, and then just wait and see what happens.

Gao Shun is now sober, or much calmer.

He has escaped the embarrassment of being locked by Guan Yu's Qi, that is to say, he should not be in danger of his life.

At least he won't be stabbed to death by Guan Yu suddenly.

On Liu Xie's side, with the help of Cao Cao, Xu Huang and others, he shouldn't make things difficult for him.

At most, he would be demoted to an official position and punished for his salary, which is not a big deal.

When Gao Shun kept calculating his result in his mind, Liu Xie spoke slowly.

There was no anger or frustration on his face, only indifference, as if nothing in the world had anything to do with him.

Liu Xie is pretending.

It wasn't because of how deep his city was, or because he had guessed Cao Cao's intentions, but because he was afraid.

He was afraid.

Originally he was furious, even if Gao Shun explained to him, he still refused to forgive Gao Shun easily, but when Cao Cao spoke, Liu Xie suddenly thought clearly.

Gao Shun's life was not in his hands, nor in Gao Shun's own hands, but in Cao Cao's hands.

If Cao Cao wants Gao Shun to live, Gao Shun can live, if Cao Cao wants Gao Shun to die, he has to act according to Cao Cao's wishes.

Not only Gao Shun, the lives of everyone present are in Cao Cao's hands.

Whoever Cao Cao wanted to die, the guards around would swarm up, without hesitation, drag them off their horses and behead them.

Even the hundreds of officials in the distance who were shouting long live just now are the same, because the surrounding area is full of guards that Cao Cao has placed for safety.

His imperial army only occupies a small part, and if there is a conflict, even a small splash will not be splashed.

But now, Cao Cao obviously wanted to keep Gao Shun, so he couldn't rebel against him, otherwise he would be killed.

Liu Xie figured this out in just a dozen seconds, but he wasn't half-complacent, only unwilling and incompetent and furious.

As the Son of Heaven, I can't do what I do according to my own will. Instead, I have to act according to Cao Cao's face. How can I not sigh with sorrow!

But Liu Xie is used to it now, anyway, it is not the first time, Cao Cao has long since ignored him, why bother asking for trouble?

"If General Gao is really like this, how can I bear to blame? If General Gao is punished, then I will not be a fool." Liu Xie said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his head in surprise, because he found that Liu Xie had no follow-up.

He was not demoted, not fined, not even blamed.

Just let him go so easily?Gao Shun seemed to be in disbelief.

However, he reacted very quickly, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty is wise, the last general..."

"Okay, don't need to say more, General Gao please hurry up and continue hunting with me."

Liu Xie waved his hand grandly and said with a smile.

Gao Shun quickly got on his horse and returned to the queue.

However, he did not go to Liu Xie and accompany him to hunt as Liu Xie said.

It's not that he doesn't know how to flatter, Liu Xie is just a polite remark, it's enough to talk about it, if he really takes it seriously, he is a fool.

A group of dozens of riders continued to walk slowly towards the hunting ground. After this incident, Liu Xie's interest did not diminish in the slightest.

It's not just pretending, but it's really carefree.Gao Shun thought in his heart, and immediately focused.

He was afraid that there would be another accident. What happened just now was because he saw the excitement.

Cao Cao was still only half a horse behind Liu Xie, and advanced slowly.

He was in a good mood, not the same as Liu Xie who pretended to be later, he was really in high spirits.

Liu Xie was as weak as ever, which made his plan much easier, how could he be unhappy?
Through that incident just now, he has figured out Liu Xie's bottom line.

Liu Xie's bottom line is much lower than he imagined, even to the point where there is no bottom line at all.

A courtier enjoyed the applause of all the officials in front of him, and enjoyed it several times. If it were any other emperor, he would have been furious and beheaded long ago.

But Liu Xie was different, he was counseled, and she was afraid that Cao Cao would attack him, and she also knew that Gao Shun's status under Cao Cao's account seemed to be quite high, so she simply admitted her counsel.

Afraid that I will attack him, it's ridiculous.

Cao Cao sneered secretly, Liu Xie thought too arrogantly of him.

Naturally, his military strength is enough to crush Liu Xie, and his strength in the court also occupies the mainstream, and the Cao Party has become the main party.

But Cao Cao is a minister after all, and Liu Xie is the emperor after all.

The minister of the big man, the emperor of the big man, you can tell at a glance which is more important.

But Liu Xie, the person involved, couldn't see it.

And he is a reputation-loving person!
Since the news of Cao Cao's massacre of several small cities came out, his reputation has declined unstoppably. He had almost lost the reputation of the emperor in the fire and water when he originally conquered the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo.

Everyone said that Cao Cao was cruel, ruthless and cruel, and the three-year-old child stopped crying after hearing it, so Cao Cao was quite troubled.

It stands to reason that as a hero, no, even if it is a hero who occupies one side, such things as reputation are dispensable.

But Cao Cao is different. He values ​​fame more and more.
