Seeing what Cao Pi said, Zhuge Jin was already prepared. He looked directly into Cao Pi's eyes and asked: "What does King Wei mean by this? Is it sooner or later to congratulate and give gifts? Wouldn't this chill the hearts of those who love Wei in the world?"

"Oh? No matter how late someone who is pro-Wei comes, I will not refuse you. It's just that you don't understand the current affairs. If I hadn't come personally with the troops, Sun Zhongmou wouldn't have come to congratulate him even after half a year, maybe two years, right?"

Cao Pi sneered.

"Well...it's actually because Jiangdong cooperated with Wei to attack Jingzhou. After the failure, the lord has a lot of things to deal with, and the news of the king's accession to the throne has just spread..." Zhuge Jin deliberately brought up the alliance, meaning that Jiangdong

In response to Cao Cao's loss of troops and generals, don't blame me for being late in coming to congratulate you.

Cao Pi knocked on the case and asked coldly: "Sun Zhongmou has a lot of troubles? So he is preparing assassins to kill the entire Sima family?"

In this crusade against Sun Quan, Cao Pi not only brought Jia Xu, but also Wen Hui, Jiang Ji and others who were familiar with Huainan. Jiang Ji and Sima Yi both served in the prime minister's office. Because there was not much conflict of interest, the relationship between the two was pretty good.

He was more suspicious that the cause of the Sima family's death was at least not an assassin sent by Jiangdong.

There were more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the big tent staring at Zhuge Jin, wanting to hear what the other party would answer.

"Why did the King of Wei say this? Our lord has no contact with the Sima family. How could he send an assassin to assassinate him? There must be a misunderstanding." Zhuge Jin quickly denied it. He just wanted to find out this matter.

"We had no contact before, but recently you have become very close. Don't you want to sell Yu Jin to Wei? One billion is not a small amount..." Cao Pi snorted coldly.

Zhuge Jin was at a loss for words. Selling to the ban at a high price was not a good move. Cao Pi said it at this moment, and it seemed to be a joke. He was about to say that he had only contacted Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren, but he was worried that Sun Quan was also contacting him privately, so

I couldn't refute for a while.

Seeing Zhuge Jin's "acquiescence", Cao Pi then scolded: "You are right to find Zhongda to smoothen the relationship. The relationship between Zhongda and Gu is indeed close. It's a pity that the bribery failed and the assassination was not achieved. The method is really underhanded..."

"It's absolutely impossible. There must be a misunderstanding. King Wei, please don't believe the slander." Zhuge Jin strongly denied it.

Cao Pi did not speak when he saw this, but winked at Jia Xu, who then stepped forward and took out a few letters, then handed them to Zhuge Jin and said, "Mr. Ziyu, take a look at this first..."

Zhuge Jin accepted it with some doubts, looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, and those bizarre and absurd reasons, and said incredulously: "A plan to alienate... a plan to alienate... King Wei, it is definitely a plan to alienate, the handwriting on the letter

Although it is similar to Wei Chen, it is definitely not written by me, so you have to check it clearly."

With Xia Houchong's reminder, Cao Pi certainly knew that the letter was a copycat. He was deliberately framing it to Jiangdong just to show it to Chen Qun and the nobles behind Zhong Yao, so he foresaw Zhuge Jin's behavior.

Cao Pi didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he waved his hand to stop it and said: "There are no absolutes in the world. I'd better ask your master about this matter. There is no point in arguing now. Since I came here specifically to give you a gift, I don't know what it is? As the saying goes

The south of the Yangtze River is prolific with beauties, wouldn’t Sun Zhongmou try to trick a solitary envoy into beauties?”

"No, I mainly return General Yu Jin to the King of Wei. Yesterday I sent people to Jianye to move it. I believe it will be delivered to Huainan soon." Zhuge Jin also played a trick.

"Sun Zhongmou is so generous? He spends one billion dollars, which is not easy..."

Cao Pi was very sarcastic, and all the civil and military officials in the tent laughed. Zhuge Jin awkwardly added: "Although there is a rift between Jiangdong and Wei, there are many times when the alliance is good, and now the world has become a tripartite power. Sun

There is no sure winner between Cao and Liu. Others are the beneficiaries of the feud between Sun and Cao. I ask the King of Wei to consider the common people in the world, cease war and live in peace..."

"The orphan brought troops to conquer, and Sun Zhongmou used the ban to exchange for peace. Don't you think it's too funny, sir? Do you really think he is worth a billion? You should go back to Jianye and ask him, does the orphan seem to be easy to talk to?"

Cao Pi had a look of contempt on his face, as if he was saying, 'It's hard to do anything for you with this little money.'

"Uh... don't get me wrong, King Wei. The peace talks in Jiangdong are very sincere. Besides, my lord has arrived in Ruxu. I will go back immediately to ask for instructions, and I will definitely bring back a satisfactory answer." Zhuge Jin replied confidently.

"That's good. The late king praised your lord for having a son like Sun Zhongmou. I really want to know what his sincerity is." Cao Pi's expression softened, and he nodded slightly to Zhuge Jin, then called Xu Chu into the tent and asked: "

Send Mr. Zhuge out of the camp to prevent him from getting lost and wandering around the camp. If he sees military secrets, he must be careful and kill him..."

"Wei." Xu Chu clasped his fists.

"Wei Chen...Wei Chen is following General Xu..." Zhuge Jin did not expect that Cao Pi would come to threaten him at the end. He was really frightened when he heard it just now.

"Come on, listen to General Xu." Cao Pi waved his hand.

Zhuge Jin bowed and saluted, and followed Xu Chu out of the Chinese army's tent. Xu Chu was moving very fast, and Zhuge Jin increased the swing frequency of his calves. He was afraid that he would fall behind and see something he shouldn't, and he didn't want to be executed as a trickster.

After passing through a large number of tents, the two finally walked out of Cao Ying, and Zhuge Jin let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sir, go early and come back early." Xu Chu reminded.

Zhuge Jin nodded and replied: "Yes... yes... I will definitely bring back a satisfactory answer to King Wei..."

"Wait a minute." The moment Zhuge Jin turned around, he was suddenly stopped by Xu Chu.

Zhuge Jin stood there in confusion, thinking that Cao Pi would not regret it temporarily, right? Xu Chu followed him in two steps, giving him a huge sense of oppression.

"General Xu, what advice do you have?" Zhuge Jin swallowed.

"The Sima family was wiped out by Jiangdong assassins. This matter has been closed in Wei State. Your Majesty, he doesn't want to hear other answers..." After Xu Chu finished speaking, he patted Zhuge Jin on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards Cao Ying.

Although Xu Chu had extremely controlled his power, Zhuge Jin still felt the huge impact. He stood motionless in place because Xu Chu's words were so evocative. What did it mean that Cao Pi didn't want to hear other answers?

Zhuge Jin remembered that Cao Pi had specifically asked him to listen to Xu Chu's words when he left the Chinese army. Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin sweated all over, and then left Cao Ying in Shu County angrily.

After Xu Chu and Zhuge Jin left, the atmosphere in Cao Pi's main tent was very strange. Many of the officials accompanying the army hesitated to speak. They were silent for a long time before Chen Qun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Zhuge Jin denied it. Zhongda's family may have hidden secrets."

?”

"This crime is not a small crime. Even if it was done by people from Jiangdong, Zhuge Jin would not admit it from the beginning. Anyway, now that Gu's army is pressing down on the country and destroying Jiangdong, won't the truth be revealed if Sun Quan is captured?" Cao Pi's expression of indignation was

To dispel the suspicions of the nobles, after all, the Cao family was somewhat wrong in this matter.

Jia Xu stood up at the right time to advise and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice. The purpose of sending troops this time is to show off your power. Now in the south, Guan Yu is eyeing the Central Plains, and in the west, Zhang Fei is spying on Yongliang. We must not be dragged into the quagmire of war by Sun Quan. I think this is a good idea."
