As the jailer frantically beat the two of them with a whip, the two groaned and gradually fell into a coma again.

"Stop it! Don't beat me to death, I still have to save my breath for the prime minister!" At this moment, the prison chief looked at the two people who had fainted again, and immediately stopped the prison guard who was beating them with a whip, and said in a low tone. Said the jailer.

The jailer heard what his boss said, and watched the two people who had fainted again pick up two wooden barrels from the side, and poured cold water in the barrels on them.

The two people who suddenly fainted gradually opened their eyes, squinted their eyes and looked at the jailer, then at the cell leader, and said weakly, "You guys should kill us! Kill us!"

"Hehe, when the time comes for your life, the prime minister will still have to decide life and death. I, as a prison chief, have no ability to decide life and death." The prison chief looked at the two people who were tied to a wooden stick and begged to die. Said to the two of them gloomyly.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the darkness in the distance. Hearing the sound, the prison chief immediately looked into the darkness, stood up from his position, and bowed respectfully. I saluted.

In the darkness, Cao Cao brought his subordinate Xu Chu slowly into the prison cell, and then saw Wu Zilan and Wei Huang who were tied to wooden sticks looking like they were dying, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth .

Cao Cao slowly turned his gaze to the prisoner who was saluting aside, waved his hand to signal him to get up, and then asked the prisoner with a heavy tone: "Did the two of them recruit their accomplices?" ?"

"Prime Minister, these two people are very hard-spoken. They are absolutely unwilling to name their accomplices." Hearing Cao Cao's question, the prison chief looked at Cao Cao with a bit of shame and said.

"The mouth is very hard!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao walked silently between the two people who were tied to the wooden sticks, looked at the two people with scars all over their bodies calmly, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said in a cold tone: "You guys If you can confess your accomplice, maybe the truth can be seen for the sake of this credit, and I will spare you!"

"Hehe...hehe..."

At this time, Wu Zilan gave a sneer with a weak breath, then turned her head to Cao Cao's side with great effort, and looked at Cao Cao ferociously with blood on her face.

"What are you laughing at?" Cao Cao looked at Wu Zilan who was sneering at him calmly at this time, and asked with a heavy tone.

"Cao Cao, you have always been so treacherous, do you think you can deceive me? If I really say it, I am afraid I will die. If you are a hero, give me a good one!" Wu Zilan was weak at this time He squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Cao, blood slipped from his hair to the ground, and then said to Cao Cao in a low tone.

"Hehe! What you said, Wu Zilan, you said it very well!" Cao Cao heard what Wu Zilan said, turned his head, looked at Wu Zilan, and said in a calm tone.

"What about you?" Cao Cao looked at Wei Huang, who was drowsy, and asked in a low tone.

"Hehe...Me neither..." The corners of Wei Huang's mouth cracked slightly at this moment.A trace of blood flowed from his mouth, and then looked at Cao Cao's appearance, and replied to Cao Cao with a smirk on his face.

"Yes, very good!" Cao Cao listened to the two men's answers, walked to the side of the cell boss silently, looked at the bruises of the two men, gently clapped his palms, and said in a mocking tone.

"Prime Minister, do you still have to make a confession?" Seeing Cao Cao's smiling face at this moment, the prison chief felt frightened and asked Cao Cao cautiously.

Cao Cao listened to what the cell leader beside him said, and slowly took out the imperial decree he had snatched from Han Emperor Liu Xie from his sleeve, and said calmly to the people around him: "Now Your Majesty has decree , Wu Zilan and Wei Huang's rebellion in Xuchang is an unforgivable crime, and they will be executed after ten days!"

Wu Zilan and Wei Huang were silently tied to the wooden sticks. When they heard the news, they lowered their heads slightly. Death is already the final destination for them, and they already knew it in their hearts.

Cao Cao looked at the dead dog-like appearance of the two, carefully put even in his sleeve, turned slightly, and wanted to take Xu Chu away.

"Take good care of the two of you, don't make them too uncomfortable!" Cao Cao subconsciously turned his head to look at the prisoner when he reached the door of the prison, and told the prisoner in a calm tone.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, I will entertain you two naturally." Hearing Cao Cao's words and looking at Cao Cao's cold face, the jailer quickly lowered his head and replied to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao silently returned to his prime minister's mansion, looked at the damaged state of the prime minister's mansion, shook his head slightly, and then said to Xu Chu calmly, "Xu Chu, what do you think of Xu Chang's place?"

"Xu Chang, it's okay! The prime minister likes it, so I, Zhongkang, like it!" Xu Chu was slightly taken aback when he heard Cao Cao's sudden question, and then whispered back to Cao Cao.

"Although Xuchang is the capital of emperors now, it is still much worse than Yecheng. You go and ask Zihuan to come over!" Cao Cao smiled slightly after hearing what Xu Chang said, then looked at his mansion, He said with some emotion in his tone, and then walked towards his mansion with big strides.

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xu Chu rubbed the back of his head slightly, looked at the back of Cao Cao who had already entered, and hurried over.

"Father, you call me!" In Cao Cao's room at this time, Cao Pi came to Cao Cao's room with a serious expression and looked at Cao Cao who was sitting in the main seat. Cao Pi whispered to his father.

"Zihuan, how are you doing these days in Xuchang!" Cao Cao calmly looked at the son who looked like himself in front of him, and asked Cao Pi in a soft tone.

Cao Pi listened to Cao Cao's words, looked at Cao Cao's bottomless pupils, and said to Cao Cao respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, father. I also stayed relatively stable in Xuchang."

"If I let you stay in Xuchang alone, would you be willing?" At this time, Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Cao Pi calmly.

"Could it be that father is going on an expedition again?" Cao Pi was slightly surprised when he heard Cao Cao's words, and then asked Cao Cao in a slightly shocked tone.

"I'm going to live in Yecheng for a while. If I keep you in Xuchang, would you like it?" Cao Cao stroked his beard after listening to Cao Pi's questioning words, and then said calmly to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi looked at his father looking at him, carefully lowered his head, thought for a while, and then raised his head confidently.

"If the father believed in the words of the son, the son would have stayed in Xuchang well." Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao staring at him, and replied to Cao Cao calmly.

Cao Cao listened to what Cao Pi said, and nodded towards Cao Pi. Suddenly, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and he heard an urgent knock on the door.

"Let's talk about it directly." Cao Cao looked at the closed door, and shouted to the outside with a bit of displeasure.

"Prime Minister, General Xia Houyuan hastily rushed back to Xuchang, and now he wants to see the Prime Minister." The servants outside heard Cao Cao's shouting, and quickly replied to Cao Cao.

"Miao Cai?!" Cao Cao was a little surprised when he heard the words outside, and then stood up from his seat, his face began to be a little panicked.

"Father!" Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao at this time, and shouted to Cao Cao with a concerned face.

"Miaocai is in Shouchun, and now he came back without my order. Something big must have happened." Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi at the side with a dignified expression, and said in a nervous tone.

"Go and bring Miaocai in!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi on the side, hesitated for a moment, and then ordered to Cao Pi in a heavy tone.

Cao Pi nodded after hearing what Cao Cao said, and then walked out of the room cautiously.

Chapter 672

At this time, Cao Pi led Xia Houyuan behind him to Cao Cao's room. Seeing Xia Houyuan's complexion a little heavy and tired, Cao Cao frowned silently.

"Prime Minister, the Eastern Wu army is now sending troops to attack Shouchun, and now Gongming is guarding Shouchun. I broke out and asked the Prime Minister to send troops to rescue Shouchun." Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Cao who was sitting on the main seat with a guilty expression. Said to Cao Cao with a hoarse tone.

Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan, and asked Xia Houyuan with a gloomy expression, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the Eastern Wu army?"

"At least 5 horses?" Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Cao's uneasy expression, and replied to Cao Cao in fear.

Cao Cao closed his eyes silently, thought for a while, and finally turned his gaze to Cao Pi who was on the side, and said to Cao Pi with a heavy tone: "Go and invite Mr. Gongda and Zhongde over, and say that you want to to discuss."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Pi nodded quickly, left the room quickly, and went to invite Xun You and Cheng Yu.

Cao Cao watched Cao Pi leave the room, silently looked at Xia Houyuan who was ashamed, and asked Xia Houyuan with a heavy tone, "How about the Eastern Wu army, Miaocai tell me!"

"The army of Soochow may not be as good as ours, but the people who lead the troops of Soochow are all capable of fighting, especially now..." Xia Houyuan replied to Cao Cao with a serious face after hearing what Cao Cao said. But when it came to the person in command of the other party, Xia Houyuan hesitated again.

"Who is the commander of the other party? Could it be that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin?" Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan's hesitant speech, stroked his beard, and asked Xia Houyuan in a suspicious tone.

"It's not Zhou Yu, it's Ding Feng!" Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Cao looking towards him, and said to Cao Cao with a guilty tone.

"Ding Feng, but who is it? Why haven't I heard of such a person?" Cao Cao heard such a name from Xia Houyuan's mouth, looked at Xia Houyuan with some doubts on his face, and asked Xia Houyuan with a heavy tone.

"This man is Bai Zifu's apprentice. He returned home after finishing his studies, and now he is serving under Sun Quan." Xia Houyuan said with a displeased face when he heard what Cao Cao said.

"Bai Zifu's apprentice, how could this guy have such an identity to join Sun Quan, but Bai Zifu is really good, he has trained such an apprentice!" Cao Cao was not very angry when he heard what Xia Houyuan said, but touched him. Touching his beard, he said with some emotion.

"By the way, does Bai Zifu still have a few apprentices? Do you know his apprentices because you have some contacts with Bai Zifu?" Cao Cao was flicking at this time, stroking his beard, looking at Xia Houyuan below, with a soft tone asked Xia Houyuan.
