At the end, Zhao Yun did not recognize Zhang Xiu as his senior brother. There was no way. Zhang Xiu's martial arts were too slow in Zhao Yun's eyes... No, it would be a bit of a praising Zhang Xiu when he used it too slow. In fact, it should be a cry!

If it were someone else, he would barely recognize Zhang Xiu, the senior brother, but what kind of person is Zhao Yun? Hebei's most powerful general and the first butcher under Yuan Shang's tent, he would not be considered a arrogant master. A proud and arrogant master generally would not recognize a person who was a second-handed person as his senior brother. He put himself in his shoes. This is indeed no wonder Zhao Yun. Just imagine that anyone in Zhao Yun's position, calling a "brother" who was beaten by himself every day. No one can stand it.

So, Zhang Xiu's plan to recognize his relatives was ruined.

Yuan Shang is in the hall of the temporary residence of Chang'an.

"Hiss!" Zhang Xiu's face was covered in blood, and he grinned while allowing the military doctor to treat him, while muttering: "Unfortunately, the master has a bad brother... It really makes the lord laugh... Hissing, it hurts so much... I laugh at you."

Yuan Shang smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, is Xiaoxiao healthier.... Alas, General Zhang, you said you are the same. If he doesn't recognize you, you won't recognize you. It's good to compare martial arts. Now, I asked him to abort a tooth for you. The slightest bite of white teeth leaked out. Do you think you are wronged or not?"

Zhang Xiu's face turned red when he heard this, but he quickly straightened his back and said, "Lord, you're just looking at me. I'm giving in to him. He is my junior brother. As the saying goes, elder brother is like a father. Can I bear to take action?"

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly, "General Zhang is really... righteous, and he values ​​affection and righteousness."

"That's it! Although Zhang is a martial artist, he is quite aware of the way of a gentleman."

Yuan Shang couldn't help but be happy: "Cao's army is really blind to our camp by forcing you, a humble gentleman."

Zhang Xiu sighed and nodded, "It's not so... If it weren't for Cao Pi, how could I, Zhang Xiu, be abandoned and do this thing that was stung by the world."

Yuan Shang touched his chin and suddenly said, "What kind of person is Cao Pi...?"

Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "Cao Pi is young, but he is very cunning and his flaws will be reported. When I first entered Cao's camp, in order to protect myself, I sent someone to give New Year's gifts to all the young masters of Sikong's mansion on the New Year's Day. All the young masters gave Zhang a little bit of shame for Cao Sikong's face and also returned the gifts. Only Cao Pi. After receiving the gifts, he only sent someone to send me a letter, with only one sentence on it... If you harm my brother, I will kill him in the future, so how dare I pretend to be!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "He has a good relationship with Cao Ang who was killed by you?"

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "There is no good relationship, it's just a purpose, so that Cao cāo can know it. Show that he values ​​brotherhood."

When Yuan Shang heard this, he nodded. It seemed that Cao Pi was indeed the same as what later generations described. He was a dark-hearted man.

Yuan Shang thought for a while and suddenly said, "So in General Zhang, you think Cao cāo is dead now. Who is the most likely person among the Cao family's sons who will inherit his position?"

Zhang Xiu said without any hesitation, "Then it's more than that? It must be Cao Pi! Although this kid is young, he has a good temperament and has the style of Cao cāo. He is also the eldest son. My sons are not as smart as him in terms of his wit. How can he compete for Cao Pi?"

At this point, Yuan Shang's mind suddenly popped up for some reason. He was gentle and elegant, and a little natural. He looked like a young girl with a stake like a wooden stake. He was not someone else, but Cao Zhi, who had had a day and night experience with him in Mobei.

Could it be that... the wheel of history has changed to this day, and Cao Zhi... still can't compete with Cao Pi?

*********************

Xu Du, Guo Jia’s mansion.

"What a powerful plan, spreading messages about Yuan Shang sending troops, made Cao Zhang delay his return to Xudu, and made him lose his position in Xun Yu's heart in an instant. It's hard to have the bargaining chips to compete with him for the position of the next position. The second young master is indeed very ordinary." Guo Jia looked at the gold, silk and silk all over the floor, and his pale face was slightly rosy on the bed, and he smiled and shook his head.

On one side, Jia Xu was still half-squinting his eyes, looking calm.

"Not only that, he also bribed these old ministers, including you, to bribe them. This shows how scheming they are... Great, really amazing. If it weren't for such an extraordinary period, I would have to work hard to protect the second son."

Guo Jia smiled and shook his head and said, "Stop talking about him, old fox, I want to ask you, I heard that you have no time to be idle in the past few days, and run to Mr. Cao Chong every day, what is the purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu raised his eyebrows gently and said calmly: "Young Master Cao Chong is talented and intelligent, and he is a rising talent. I like him, so I often take care of him. Why? No?"

"Hmph!" Guo Jia snorted indifferently and said, "Take it aside, you have the same dear behavior as a dead fish. Who else can you like in the world except yourself? Tell me quickly! You are running to Mr. Cao Chong every day now, what are your intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu ignored Guo Jia. He just threw himself into his sleeve, stood up, bowed and said, "It's time to say goodbye. You should take good care of yourself and try to live a few more months." After that, he ignored Guo Jia and walked straight out.

"Hey? Don't leave... Cough cough cough cough... Stop for me! You said... Cough cough cough, what are your attempts to go to the young master... Cough cough cough."

Guo Jia's obstruction was useless after all. Jia Xu walked out of Guo Jia's mansion on his own, came outside the mansion, got on a carriage, and still walked towards Cao Chong and Cao cāo's former concubine, Mrs. Huan.

Jia Xu's car had just disappeared, but two figures slowly flashed out from the side of Guo Jia's mansion, their eyes were as bright as light, and they stared at Jia Xu's direction gloomyly.

Cao Pi and Chen Qun.

"Second Young Master, judging by the way Jia Xu's attitude, I guess he has gone to Cao Chong's residence again."

Cao Pi nodded coldly and said, "This old man runs to Cao Chong's mansion every day. I may not be sure to support Chong's brother ascend to the throne... Chong's brother has always been smart and known as a genius. His father loved him the most when he was alive. Once he gets help from Jia Xu, he will definitely become a powerful person! It is my enemy!"

Chen Qun smiled and shook his head and said, "Cao Chong is a genius, but he was born to his concubine and was also young. Since he brought Cao Zhangyin down, the second son has operated daily. Now most of the old ministers, including Xun Yu, are optimistic about the young son. The succession to the throne has been a foregone conclusion. Why bother to worry too much?"

Cao Pi nodded when he heard this, but immediately shook his head and said, "Otherwise, Cao Chong is smart, although he is a concubine, once he gets help from Jia Xu, he will not cause any storm. Jia Xu's old man is known as a poisonous man and has always been low-key. That day, outside the city, he told me in front of me that I had planned to attack Cao Zhang. This is definitely not his usual way of being a human being. Since this old man dares to openly make it clear to me, he must have decided to take action. Once this person takes action, it will be a poisonous kill. I must guard against it! We need to take action first. Taking advantage of Jia Xu's failure to fully support Cao Chong, we will cut off future troubles so as not to be counted by him in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qun looked up and saw the cold gaze in Cao Pi's eyes. He immediately shivered all over and whispered: "Stop the troubles?...Second Young Master...What are you...what are you going to do?"

************************

Jia Xu was still the same today as usual, and went to Cao Chong's mansion to visit. Mrs. Huan's status was just as good as her. Now that Cao cāo died, she lost her support and was already nervous. Now that her son was attracted by Jia Xu, she was naturally happy in her heart. She kept asking Cao Chong to call Jia Xu a teacher, but Jia Xu didn't refuse and agreed indifferently.

Today, he casually gave Cao Chong some knowledge, and Jia Xu said goodbye immediately, but he did not return to the mansion this time, but went to another place.

This place is not another place, but it is Cao Zhi’s residence!

When Jia Xu arrived at Cao Zhi's mansion, Cao Zhi was sitting in the yard drinking and reciting poems. He looked sad and sad. The poem was full of nostalgia. Obviously, he had not yet walked out of the shadow of Cao's death.

Seeing Jia Xu coming, Cao Zhi was slightly happy and walked to Jia Xu with a little drunkenness, pulled his sleeve and smiled, "Doctor Jia is here? It's just right! Come on, come and drink with me!"

Although Jia Xu was pulled by Cao Zhi, his figure remained unmoved. He looked at Cao Zhi quietly and said indifferently: "The young masters are all striving to succeed the throne. For the young master, you will be with poetry and wine every day, and Cheri is sad for the death of the old lord... Alas, what do you think?"

Cao Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes became moist.

"How long has my father left? They... They know every day that they are really a son of their lives. I, Cao Zhi, are different from them! They fight forever, and if they like to grab, what do they have to do with me?"

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Don't you want to inherit the position of the old lord?"

Cao Zhi almost had no hesitation and shook his head and said, "I don't want to!"

Jia Xu sighed and said helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you don't think so, but if someone with an incorrect heart inherits the position of lord, harms your brother's flesh and blood, and makes your Cao family's sons split from then on, and their family is destroyed... would you like to see such a situation?"

Cao Zhi shook his body when he heard this, then frowned and said, "What are you talking about! My sons of Cao are all open and loyal. Who can do such a shameless thing?"
