Chapter 344 Cao Ang: Anyone who touches my brothers will not live!
Cao Pi walked out of the alley in a daze.
He couldn't deny that the two men's proposal was very appealing to him.
but……
My elder brother Cao Ang has always treated him very well!
Cao Pi was not a fool.
He wouldn't have been able to sneak into Cao Ang's study to steal the notes so easily without Cao Ang's tacit approval.
In fact, Cao Ang took very comprehensive notes so that Cao Pi could understand Su Yu's lectures.
Other than that.
Whenever Cao Ang obtained any delicious food, he would immediately share it with his younger brothers, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang.
Although Lady Bian distrusted Cao Ang and was unwilling to let Cao Pi and his party eat the food that Cao Ang brought.
But in Cao Pi's heart, Cao Ang was a typical good older brother!
Although they weren't blood brothers, for him to lay a hand on his good older brother Cao Ang was truly...
but.
If my dear brother were no longer here.
He would then have the opportunity to become an adopted son and a disciple of Mr. Su!
Cao Pi struggled violently.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the gate of the Sikong Mansion.
Two little heads peeked out from the Sikong Mansion.
One was the refined and quiet Cao Zhi, and the other was Cao Zhang, who seemed to be born with ADHD.
"Second brother!"
Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang were excited and pulled Cao Pi into the mansion.
Exhausted, Cao Pi took out sugar cubes from his pocket and gave them to Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi.
"Don't let Mother find out, you're eating secretly..."
Cao Pi whispered his instructions.
Cao Zhang, oblivious to everything else, simply tore open the candy wrapper and began to devour it.
Cao Zhi, however, broke the candy in his hand into two equal parts and handed one part to Cao Pi.
"Second brother, I bet you didn't keep a copy for yourself."
"Ahhhh, open your mouth."
Cao Zhi put one of the candies into Cao Pi's mouth.
Seeing his second brother eat the candy, Cao Zhi smiled with satisfaction.
At this moment, Cao Pi's eyes were already blurred.
He recalled a scene from his childhood, when his older brother Cao Ang and he shared a roast chicken.
……
Zhijinwu's Mansion
"Yes, I understand."
"Damn it, in broad daylight, they dare to lay a hand on the lord's son? Do they really think my old Jia's blade is incapable of killing?"
Jia Xu crossed his legs (a move he learned from Su Yu) and said angrily.
After the Battle of Guandu, Jia Xu was appointed as the Commander of the Imperial Guards.
Although this official position is not one of the Nine Ministers, it is still considered a high-ranking and powerful position, and the person in charge is also responsible for maintaining the security of the capital.
Just now, two of Jia Xu's subordinates reported to him that Cao Pi did not bring any attendants with him when he returned to his residence.
This is clearly against the rules.
Although Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang were all very low-key.
However, when traveling, Cao Cao instructed that at least two attendants should be brought along.
The fact that they didn't bring any attendants suggests that something went wrong along the way.
As for Yang Biao, Jia Xu had already sent someone to inquire about him.
Yang Biao explicitly told Jia Xu that the two attendants were always with Cao Pi.
This immediately led the old strategist to conclude that someone was planning to attack the Sikong Mansion!
As for the target, whether it is Cao Pi, Cao Ang, or someone else, it is still uncertain.
But with the old mastermind, anyone who touches his long-term meal ticket must die!
If Cao Ang or Cao Pi were to die, he, as the Commander of the Imperial Guard responsible for the security of Xuchang, would certainly be implicated.
Although Su Yu would certainly plead for him before Cao Cao.
But sitting idly by and waiting to die is not the style of the old sleight of hand!
Take the initiative and beat him up!
"Investigate this thoroughly and find out which bastard did this."
……
next day
Sikong Mansion
Cao Ang got up very early.
Although Xun Yu, along with the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, were responsible for handling matters related to government affairs, the problems were still being addressed.
But many important decisions still require Cao Ang's approval.
Therefore, Cao Ang has been very busy these days.
"I almost forgot, Zihuan's birthday is coming up soon."
"As his older brother, I have to prepare a gift for him in advance."
Cao Ang thought to himself.
Cao Ang cherished his brotherhood.
Cao Pi, in particular, was the eldest and most sensible of all his brothers.
(The so-called Cao Ang's second brother, Cao Shuo, is not recorded in any historical materials. He is probably a character created by various novels or anecdotes in later generations, or he was a Cao family descendant who died before he even opened his eyes at birth and was not recorded in the official records.)
(On the contrary, the Records of the Three Kingdoms clearly states that Cao Pi was the second son of the Cao family.)
"Good morning, brother."
Just as Cao Ang was about to leave, Cao Pi stopped him.
"Good morning, second brother."
Cao Ang greeted Cao Pi with a warm expression.
Xu Chu's attitude towards Mi Heng mirrored Cao Ang's attitude towards him.
Although Xu Chu was sent by Su Yu to assist him.
But as Su Yu's disciple, Cao Ang was naturally of one heart and mind with him, and had deeply inherited his master's true teachings.
Cao Ang was a good elder brother to his younger brothers.
"Brother, there is something very important I need to tell you."
There was no more hesitation in Cao Pi's eyes.
Instead, there is steadfastness.
"Second brother, your elder brother might be a little busy later."
"But since it's you, it must be something very important that I have to tell you, which is why I got up so early to stop you."
"Otherwise, you, who like to sleep in, should still be in bed right now."
Upon hearing Cao Ang's words, Cao Pi's face instantly turned red.
"Brother, actually..."
Cao Pi told Cao Ang the whole story of why Ji Mu and Ji Miao had come to see him the previous night.
"hateful!"
"I never imagined these guys' reach would extend so far!"
"Second brother, thank goodness you weren't in danger, otherwise I would have felt guilty to death."
Cao Ang held Cao Pi's hand and carefully examined him. Only after confirming that Cao Pi was not injured did he gradually feel relieved.
"Big brother, you...aren't you angry with me?"
Cao Pi looked ashamed.
Why should I blame you?
"A few petty scoundrels can't harm your elder brother!"
"But you must protect Zhangdi, Zhidi, and Xiongdi."
"If those people dare to attack you now, they'll dare to attack them too!"
"No, I can't take it anymore, big brother!"
Anyone who dares to hurt my brothers must die!
A palpable killing intent flashed in Cao Ang's eyes.
Cao Pi looked at Cao Ang with a face full of admiration.
"This older brother is so handsome!"
This is Cao Pi's true feeling at this moment.
"Come on, second brother, let's go and capture all these guys!"
Cao Ang held Cao Pi's little hand, and the two brothers walked out of the mansion.
however.
As soon as the door opened, Jia Xu was seen yawning, standing at the entrance of the mansion with a slightly hunched posture.
"Good morning, Young Master Ang; good morning, Young Master Pi."
"Good morning, Commander Jinwu, what brings you here...?"
Cao Ang and Cao Pi stared in disbelief at the several guards behind Jia Xu and the two sacks.
"This sack contains two petty thieves who intend to disrupt the security of Xuchang."
"However, they have now been captured alive by me!"
"One is named Jimu, and the other is named Jimiao. They seem to be the sons of that traitor Ji Ping!"
"Big brother, it's them!"
Cao Pi pointed to the two sacks.
Cao Ang ordered his soldiers to open the sacks, where they found Jimu and Jimiao wriggling inside.
Cao Ang smiled amiably and waved his hand, leading Jimu Jiping into the dungeon.
Here, what awaits the two of them is inhuman torture.
