Summary of the previous chapter: Cao Pi wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet to kill his father Cao Cao, but Ma Xiao, who had gone to the toilet early to use the toilet, looked at him. Cao Pi had no choice but to stop again...
"What should I do? What should I do..." Ma Xiao was young after all. Although he was calm, Ma Xiao, who had never experienced such a big thing, still panicked.
"No, I must tell my father about this, I must tell my father..." Ma Xiao said, gritted his teeth, stood up, and rushed out of the toilet.
...
Cao Pi followed his father, feeling very dissatisfied. Cao Pi felt suffocated because Ma Xiao's sudden appearance ruined his good deeds.
"What should I do? Ma Xiao saw me...what should I do?" Cao Pi secretly thought about the next step.
"Huh? If Ma Xiao dares to publicize it, as long as I have a chance, I will completely eradicate the Ma family..."
Having made up his mind, Cao Pi no longer hesitated. After all, he was the crown prince of Wei. He had wanted to kill his father, Cao Cao, and Cao Pi couldn't wait any longer. After Ma Xiao saw him like this, Cao Pi figured it out.
My father had a headache, which was very torturous once he got sick. Cao Pi once sent people to inquire privately, and one of them, a more courageous doctor, said that my father was not going to die soon.
It’s been more than ten years, I don’t care how many more years I have to wait.
"Well" thinking of this, Cao Pi smiled...
...
Ma Xiao ran to the study in panic and saw his father, Ma Xiaoquan.
Seeing Ma Xiao's nervous expression, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Xiao'er, what made you so nervous?"
Ma Xiao gasped for breath and was just about to start when he looked up and saw Cao Cao and Cao Pi.
Ma Xiao's heart tightened, and he quickly said loudly: "Father, my aunt asked you to come over to entertain guests."
While Ma Xiao was speaking, his eyes kept blinking at Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan was stunned at first, and then he had an idea in his mind: "Oh, that's right, then you tell your aunt that Xiao Cao and I will go after two drinks.
.....Eh? Why is little Cao here too?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled and stepped forward, patting Cao Pi's shoulder gently.
Cao Pi felt guilty as a thief, and when Ma Xiaoquan slapped him like that, he sat on his butt on the ground with a pop.
"Uh..." Ma Xiaoquan felt that he had no strength. Why was Cao Pi so weak that he sat on the ground?
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Cao Pi with wide eyes. Seeing Cao Pi's face flushed, he remembered that his son kept blinking at him just now.
Ma Xiaoquan said sincerely: Xiao'er must have something to tell me, and it must be about Cao Pi. Well, let's ask Xiao'er later.
"Little Xiao Cao, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you. Just look at you. Oh, come on, come on. I'll pull you up."
Ma Xiaoquan said, stretching out his hands to pull Cao Pi.
Cao Pi was so frightened that he dared not stretch out his hand, so he quickly pushed himself up and stood up. He patted himself hastily, Cao Pi shook his head and said: "Haha, Lord Immortal, I'm not afraid, I just drank a little too much, haha...
..."
Cao Pi said, looking at Ma Xiao who was next to Ma Xiao.
Ma Xiao understood the meaning of Cao Pi's gaze. He smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and handed over his hands to his father Ma Xiaoquan, King of Wei Cao Cao, and Prince Cao Pi respectively: "Father, I have conveyed what the aunt said. The aunt said, if you
If you don't go, I won't let you go to bed tonight..."
"Go, go!" Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be angry and kicked his son, "No matter how big or small, tell your aunt, I will go there in a while."
"Yes" Ma Xiao smiled and walked out of the study.
The moment Ma Xiao left the study, Cao Pi suddenly exhaled heavily.
My father, Cao Cao, once said that some things are highly time-sensitive. As long as the time limit has passed, you can just refuse to acknowledge the debt.
Cao Pi was secretly proud, and at the same time quite satisfied with Ma Xiao's actions just now. It seems that the new head of the Ma family is still timid, haha...
Cao Pi smiled slightly, cupped his hands to Ma Xiaoquan and said: "Master Shangxian, if there is nothing to do, I will go to the banquet hall..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and signaled to go quickly. Cao Pi nodded and exited the study.
As soon as Cao Pi went out, Cao Cao sighed.
"Huh? Xiao Cao, why are you sighing?"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Although my son is very talented, he is too aggressive in doing things. He may not be able to achieve great things in the future."
"Oh? Why did Xiao Cao say this?"
Cao Cao said: "Among the several sons of Cao Mengde, only the eldest son Ang is my favorite heir. Unfortunately, the eldest son Ang died early. Secondly... I have a son Chong who was also deeply loved by me. Unfortunately, he also died early.
Now, among the remaining sons, there is no one who I can fully like... Although Pi'er is calm, there is a hint of instability in the stability, and although Zhi'er is extremely talented, he is...
He is also arrogant and untamable. As for Zhang'er, he is nothing more than a general..."
"Well," Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said, "According to what you said, in fact, from the bottom of your heart, you are not optimistic about Cao Pi, right?"
Cao Cao sighed, shook his head and said, "I hope he will treat his brothers and sisters well after inheriting my position..."
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart. Although Cao Pi was calm, he was a petty-minded guy. His younger brother Cao Zhi didn't recruit him or mess with him. He insisted on forcing his younger brother to compose a poem in seven steps, otherwise he would be punished with death. Afterwards, he even asked his younger brother to guard the imperial mausoleum. This way
Brother, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and poured Cao Cao a glass of wine, clinked another glass with Cao Cao, and comforted Cao Cao: "But overall, among your sons, Cao Pi is the most suitable to inherit your position as King of Wei.
Yes, right?"
Cao Cao nodded slightly: "That's right. Apart from Pi'er, there is really no one who can do the job..."
Ma Xiaoquan patted Cao Cao on the shoulder: "In that case, don't worry about it anymore, come on, let's have two more drinks..."
Cao Cao smiled and picked up his wine glass, clinking it with Ma Xiaoquan: "Okay"
Holding the wine glass to his mouth, Ma Xiaoquan was very confused. He had traveled through time six times before and saw different ways of death for Cao Cao. Why was Cao Cao safe and sound during this time travel? What happened?
...
While Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao were having a drink in the study, Cao Pi found Ma Xiao at the banquet hall.
Cao Pi was very smart. Relying on his status as the crown prince of Wei, he did not openly tell what happened just now.
Ma Xiao was not stupid either. He knew what Cao Pi meant, so he whispered: "Prince...I didn't see anything..."
Cao Pi sneered in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.
Ma Xiao would not believe that Cao Pi would let the matter go because of Cao Pi's smile. His father Ma Xiaoquan once said that although Cao Pi was calm, he was narrow-minded. If something happened to him, don't even think about living a good life.
.
"Hey" Ma Xiao sighed, raised his head and looked at the blue sky, thinking that he had just taken the position of the head of the family and encountered such a terrible thing. If only... he had the ability of his father...
....
Cao Pi was very proud. Ma Xiao's sigh was enough to prove the other party's fear. At this moment, Cao Pi was really thinking about how to deal with Ma Xiao and even the Ma family in the future.
Not far away, Wang Dali, who was pretending to be Kuizi, saw the looks on Ma Xiao and Cao Pi's faces and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Ma Xiaoquan, it seems that Cao Pi, the rebellious son, will not kill his father, but your family is in danger again...I, Wang Dali, will I help you or not? Hum hum."
...
Cao Pi proudly took the wine glass and went to clink glasses with others, leaving Ma Xiao alone in a daze.
The groom, Guan Ma, was walking to his brother. Seeing his brother motionless and stunned, he asked quietly: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You look ugly..."
Ma Xiao hesitated for a moment, raised his head, glanced at Ma Zheng, and asked quietly: "Third brother, if the eldest brother gives you the position of head of the family, are you willing to do it?"
Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Brother, what did you say? How did you..."
Ma Xiao smiled, shook his head, and walked away.
Ma Zheng looked at his brother's back and was very confused. He was a good head of the family, so why did he suddenly ask this? Did something happen?
While he was hesitating, Ma Zheng's sleeves suddenly moved. When he came back to his senses, he saw that there was no one around him?
"Huh?" Ma Zheng felt something on his sleeve. He stretched out his hand to touch it and pinched it twice. It seemed to be a small paper ball.
I took it out and saw that it was indeed a ball of paper. I opened it quietly and saw the word "toilet" written on it.
Ma Zheng's heart trembled and he quickly ran to the toilet.
...
"Aren't you slow..."
Ma Zheng was a little excited: "Second brother Wang, Wang Dali, why are you suddenly asking me for something?"
"Brother Ma Zheng, let me make a long story short. If I help you take the position of the head of the Ma family, are you willing?"
"Huh?" Ma Zheng asked doubtfully, "Brother Wang, why do you say the same thing as your brother?"
"Haha... Ma Xiao is indeed Ma Xiao. Yes, to tell you the truth, your brother probably encountered something he shouldn't have encountered, so he said this to you."
"How do you know?"
"It's very simple, because I have been staring at your brother, oh, by the way, and Cao Cao and Cao Pi's father and son..."
Ma Zheng asked: "Didn't you say you wanted to kill Cao Pi? Why didn't you do it?"
Wang Dali chuckled: "Cao Pi, I don't want to kill him, I want to help you rise to power...Brother Ma Zheng, you and I have been working together for several years. I know you are ambitious. Are you willing to be your brother?"
