?

Dali Temple completely awakened in this fire.

No.

Not only Dali Temple, but the entire Yecheng woke up because of this fire.

Even those timid citizens could not help but poke their heads out when they saw such a huge fire in Dali Temple.

Of course, they only dare to look out at home, but not really go out.

This fire has decorated some colors to the spring night, but it definitely cannot bring warmth. This is well-known.

This fire is more like a fuse.

The fuse of war!

Many people in Yecheng have seen this fire.

In fact, when the Luoyang Marquis was imprisoned in Dali Temple, many eyes were observed outside Dali Temple. They originally thought there would be a scene like Jia Xu attacked Dali Temple from outside.

But obviously, this time not.

Although there is no one on the surface, the formation is no less powerful than Jia Xu's that time.

The first person to receive the news was Cao Pi.

At this time, he was in the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion, but not in Queen Guo's room, but on a high platform.

This high platform is a defensive archery platform and a place to monitor people.

On this high platform, you can see that although the Dali Temple in most parts of Yecheng is a distance from Chang'an Hou Mansion, it is not too far. From this high platform, you can see the firelight inside.

There was a sandalwood santhemum on the platform. At this time, wine was boiling on the santhemum. The fragrance of wine slowly rose in the wine jar.

Cao Pi held a wine bottle in his hand, and there was hot sour wine inside.

Drinking sour wine late at night also made Cao Pi more sober while stinging his throat.

Wine does have the effect of keeping warm, otherwise people's demand for wine will not increase to such a terrifying level in winter.

The fire from Dali Temple in the distance seemed to shine on Cao Pi's face, but Cao Pi could not feel any warmth on his face, so there was no joy on his face.

The conversation he had with Cao Chong before was still vivid, but now the fire in Dali Temple is already intoxicating.

Of course, Cao Pi didn't believe that Cao Chong would be assassinated by aristocratic families.

Based on his understanding of this cheap brother, he didn't even dare to drink the wine he gave him in Dali Temple Prison. How could he really put himself in danger?

He certainly won't.

This means that he must be confident.

He was confident, but at this time, Dali Temple was in full swing.

Cao Pi smelled a little bad smell.

Cao Pi's silence did not last long, and soon, a person walked on the high platform.

Wu Zhi.

As Cao Pi's chief strategist, Wu Zhi always appears when Cao Pi asks him to appear.

At this time, Wu Zhi was still gasping for a long time, obviously coming up.

"Ji Chong, look at the fire in Dali Temple, what's going on?"

Wu Zhi took several deep breaths and calmed down his breathing, and then he said, "What is Junhou referring to?"

Cao Pi turned around, put the black wine bottle in his hand on the food collapse and asked, "Do you think the people in Dali Temple are living or dead at this time?"

The people in Dali Temple naturally refer to Cao Chong.

Hearing Cao Pi's question, Wu Zhi lowered his head and said, "That depends on the news later."

"I want you to guess."

"Guess?"

"You can't say it's a guess. I want you to speak with your current feeling. Is Luoyang Marquis alive or dead at this time?"

By feeling?

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment. As a strategist, he always used analysis to draw conclusions.

He never did this kind of thing, based on his feelings.

Sometimes, you can get the answer based on your feelings, but more often, you can only get a wrong conclusion based on your feelings.

Wu Zhi looked at Cao Pi and knew that he was really going to feel it once.

Wu Zhi lowered his head and pondered for a while. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "If it were based on his feelings, I think the Marquis of Luoyang should not be dead, but maybe."

"How do you say this?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Junhou wants Wu Zhi to rely on his feelings, but Wu Zhi will inevitably add some inferences. Please don't mind if you ask Junhou."

Cao Pi waved his hand and signaled Wu Zhi to continue.

Huh ~

Wu Zhi gently exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "It is said that Luoyang Marquis was not dead because Luoyang Marquis was willing to enter Dali Temple without resisting, which proves that he has a basis. Since he has a basis, it would be very difficult to die in Dali Temple."

Have some basis?

Full of favor?

Cao Pi immediately told Wu Zhi what Cao Chong had had before to talk to him.

After listening, Wu Zhi lowered his head and digested for a while before he raised his head again.

"If you are a lord and lord, you dare to enter Dali Temple with Man Chong's guards?"

This is a question of putting yourself in your shoes.

Cao Pi quickly shook his head.

He never entrusts his life to others.

Hearing Cao Pi say this, Wu Zhi nodded and said, "The Marquis of Luoyang and the Marquis of Lords are all good people involved. Naturally, he will not hand over his life to others, especially those who are as cautious as the Marquis of Luoyang, so the conclusion is here."

"What conclusion?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "This conclusion is that Luoyang Marquis has other backup plans, but he didn't say anything about the Lord. From this perspective, Wu Zhi felt that Luoyang Marquis was not dead."

Cao Pi fell into deep thought, and Wu Zhi did not pause and continued to speak.

"As for the Luoyang Marquis may die, it is because Luoyang Marquis is a master of the world."

"What's the solution?"

"The people who can be called the world's outstanding people will think of things that others cannot imagine, do things that others cannot do, and achieve achievements that others cannot achieve. The Marquis of Luoyang is obviously such a person. Perhaps he really only has Man Chong, and he is really betting. If this is the case, then the Marquis of Luoyang will be really dead at this moment."

"In other words, now you and I cannot be sure whether the Luoyang Marquis is really dead or fake."

Wu Zhi nodded.

Cao Pi took out a new wine bottle, poured a bottle of wine for Wu Zhi, and handed it to Wu Zhi.

"Ji Chong, drink a bottle."

Wu Zhi bowed to Cao Pi, took the bottle of wine carefully, and then sipped it slowly.

"No matter whether the Luoyang Marquis is dead or alive, now you and I have to make a decision."

Wu Zhi knew what Cao Pi meant.

If Cao Chong was not dead, then Cao Chong, who was assassinated by a noble family and completely broke up with the noble family, would directly face the noble family. If this is true, Cao Pi would be willing to see it.

But if Cao Chong died, the remaining threats of the aristocratic family would be themselves and a group of people from the Cao family's Xiahou family.

Especially because most of the troops around Yecheng were transferred far away, it is obviously easy for aristocratic families to operate.

In other words, he will directly compete with the aristocratic family.

Cao Pi still knew his own weight. He is very powerful now, but if he really wants to deal with the previous aristocratic family, it is obviously not enough.

So he wants Cao Chong to survive now.

Cao Chong, who survived now, is more useful than Cao Chong who died.

Of course it is for him.

"If the Marquis of Luoyang dies, what do Ji Chong thinks of this Marquis?"

If Cao Chong was not dead, he would have too many choices.

Choose to fight against the aristocratic family with Cao Chong, or wait for Cao Chong to fight with the aristocratic family to fight to the death and then go on when both sides have lost money...

If Cao Chong was not dead, he had many choices.

And if Cao Chong died, he seemed to have only one choice.

When Wu Zhi heard about Cao Pi's question, he also fell silent.

This time he was silent for a long time.

"If the Marquis of Luoyang really dies in Dali Temple, what will happen next depends on the Marquis of Lord."

"It depends on me? What's the solution?"
