Jiang Ji, who fled from Xudu, went all the way north.

After walking for dozens of miles, a group of people rushed out of the road.

Being blocked, Jiang Ji hurriedly stopped his horse.

Seeing that it was him, the people who stood in front of them said, "Duke Chiang, General has been waiting for a long time."

"Take me to see the general!" Jiang Ji ordered the man.

A group of people protected Jiang Ji into the forest beside the road.

After walking into the forest for a while, the soldiers saw many figures appearing in front of them.

As the distance got closer, he saw clearly that there were countless people gathering there.

At some point, this mountain forest became a hidden military camp.

When he arrived at the outside of the military camp, the man who led the way said, "Duke Chiang wait, I will report to the general now."

Jiang Ji nodded and watched the man walk into the barracks.

After a while, he came back and said to Jiang Ji, "General, please come and talk to Mr. Jiang."

Although his official position was not very high, Jiang Ji was also highly valued by Cao Pi.

There are not many people around Cao Pi who dare to greet him like he is greeted by his subordinates.

Following the man into the camp, not far away, Jiang Ji saw a man sitting on a bluestone in front of him.

The man was not tall and even shorter than Jiang Ji, but his whole body showed a solemn murderous aura, which made people feel closer to him and might be swallowed by the murderous aura.

He was the Le Jin who had been following when Cao Cao and Chen Liu recruited troops.

Le Jin has excellent martial arts skills, but the bad one is his height.

None of the generals of the Cao family is smaller than him.

Cao Cao used to treat him well, but the other generals looked down upon him a little.

Jiang Ji came over, and Le Jin didn't even look at him. He focused on playing with his fingers and removed the dust from his fingernails.

"I've seen General Le." Jiang Ji bowed and bowed.

"Zi Tong went to see the fourth young master. He was not in Xudu, so why did he come here?" Le Jin still didn't look at him, and his questions were slow.

"The fourth young master sent someone to capture me, but fortunately I was so contemptuous before." Jiang Ji replied: "If I lived in the museum he arranged, the general and I would not have the chance to meet."

"We are not relatives, so it doesn't matter whether we meet or not." Le Jin turned his head to look at him: "Do you mean the fourth young master has made a choice?"

"Yes." Jiang Ji replied: "He made a choice, but it was not my lord."

"If he chose the second young master, I would find it strange." Le Jin stood up: "Have you found out when the fourth young master left Xu Du?"

"Since he has decided to surrender to Shouchun, I don't think it will take too long." Jiang Ji replied: "The general can intercept it halfway."

"Halfway intercept." Le Jin curled his lips: "The Cao family was originally one, but Cao Gong was divided into two factions as soon as he passed away. What is the difference now and the Yuan family?"

If others say this, Jiang Ji will definitely scold him.

But Colejin is the Cao family's elder general, and Cao Pi seems to respect him very much.

After being said a few words by Le Jin, Jiang Ji did not dare to respond.

He glanced at him and Le Jin said, "The fourth young master made a choice, and I have made a choice too. Whether it is wrong or not, I still have to stand on the side of the second young master."

He ordered to the side: "Tell the soldiers to follow me to set up an ambush between Xudu and Shouchun. Let the soldiers listen. If they meet the fourth son, no one will hurt him, just let him go. But now our Majesty, we will take it back!"

The order was issued, and the soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests were then prepared.

Cao Shu, who is in Shouchun, has nothing to do recently, and is thinking about how to make money.

Lingyun Pavilion bought the original craftsman workshop, opened another piece of land outside the city, and built a new workshop.

The functions of the workshop are different from those of the craftsman workshop.

The craftsmen here do not need to develop weapons, most of the things they develop are used by the people.

The yard is empty.

Cao Shuo and Deng Zhan stood outside the door of a house, watching several craftsmen placing a string of firecrackers on the ground.

After the arrangement was made, the craftsmen looked at him.

Cao Shu nodded.

The craftsman who led the lead waved his hands and the others scattered one after another.

Holding a torch, he leaned over to the firecracker fuse.

Maybe it was because there was too much gunpowder in the fuse that the igniter had not had time to run away, and the firecrackers had already exploded.

The crackling sound of firecrackers shocked the craftsman.

He held his head with both hands and simply stopped running but squatted down.

Fortunately, the firecrackers are not too long.

With the last sound, the whole string of firecrackers exploded.

The courtyard was filled with blue smoke, and the craftsmen squatting on the ground were choked and coughed.

"Not bad." As the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, a smile appeared on Cao Shuo's face: "Find an opportunity, I want to let the firecrackers show their appearance in front of the people. No matter how good things are, only when people see their benefits can they reflect their value."

Cao Shu was instructing the craftsmen to speed up the production, create more firecrackers, and run in from outside the door a guard.

"Report to the lord, the fourth son of the Cao family brought some remaining soldiers to Huainan." The guard said: "General Xiahou Yuanrang is escorting them to Shouchun."

"Zi Jian?" Cao Shuo asked in surprise: "He is not in Xudu, why are he going to Shouchun to do?"

"It is said that Cao Zihuan sent a messenger to Xudu and asked him to escort His Majesty to Yecheng." The guard replied: "The fourth young master thought it would be better to send His Majesty to Shouchun than to go to Yecheng. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Le Jin and his army halfway."

"Where is Your Majesty?" Cao Shu asked hurriedly.

"I was kidnapped by Le Jin and others." The guard replied.

"Let's go!" Cao Shu greeted Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao: "Go back to the city!"

The workshop was outside Shouchun City. Cao Shu returned to the city and waited for a whole day before Xiahou Dun escorted Cao Zhi and others to come.

Taking Ding Yi, Ding Yi and others into the front hall, he saw Cao Shu sitting on the upper head, Cao Zhi's eyes turned red: "Brother, I'm useless..."

He sighed heavily and turned his face aside.

"I know everything." Cao Zhi and Ding Yi, Ding Yi and others behind him were all in a mess. They were covered in sludge, and some of their clothes were even splattered with blood.

"Zi Jian stays, everyone else will go and rest first." Cao Shu waved his hand.

Cao Zhi turned around and looked at Ding Yi, Ding Yi and others.

Everyone bowed to Cao Shu and left the front hall under Zhu Ao's guidance.

"The Han family is about to perish." Cao Shuo stood up and walked past Cao Zhi, came to the front hall door, and said leisurely in the distance.

Following him, Cao Zhi asked in surprise: "Why did the elder brother say that?"

"Zihuan wants you to take the emperor to Yecheng, but there is only one goal." Cao Shuo's eyes remained far away: "Zihuan's ambition is not as small as you and me. Once the time is right, he will definitely force His Majesty to abdicate."

Cao Zhi looked surprised: "Brother, I mean...will he usurp the throne?"

"The Han Dynasty has been in power for four hundred years, and it's time to change its surname." Cao Shu glanced at his lips: "The emperor takes turns to do it, and I'll come to my house this year!" (s:)
