King of Glory: Catch All the Female Heroes

Chapter 219 Pointing out a clear path

Xu Fu was finally executed, and his death made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

And with Xu Fu's death, Cao Cao became nervous again.

He stared at Zhang Cheng and asked in a low voice: "When do you plan to leave Weidu?"

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Lu Bu and Ma Chao turned their heads to look at Zhang Cheng at the same time.

Just at this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded in the direction of the Bronze Sparrow Tower.

Cao Cao quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Bronze Sparrow Tower. Seeing thick smoke and flames rising from the direction of the Bronze Sparrow Tower, Cao Cao immediately frowned.

"Zhang Cheng, are you trying to play a trick on me?"

"You don't want the reputation of Jixia Academy? You don't want the lives of the three old masters?"

"You should know how important Tongque Tower is to me. You are forcing me."

Zhang Cheng glanced at Cao Cao, then turned to Mai Shiranui and the others and asked, "Are our people all here?"

Mai Shiranui nodded heavily, "We didn't know how powerful Xu Fu was before. In order to ensure that we can kill Xu Fu, all our people are here."

"Cao Cao, did you hear that? All our people are here. If the explosion just happened in the Tongque Tower, could it be that the husband of a married woman has come to visit?"

"Wei Du is so big, you can't put all the blame on me for what happened in Wei Du."

"How could I joke about the reputation of Jixia Academy and the life span of the three sages of Jixia?"

Cao Cao glared at Zhang Cheng fiercely and asked, "Are you sure it wasn't your people who destroyed the Tongque Tower?"

"Of course!"

"That's good!"

Cao Cao nodded, then turned to Lan and Xu Chu and said, "Lan, Xu Chu, take your men and charge over. Make sure to stop the people who destroyed the Bronze Sparrow Tower in the capital of Wei. I will grind them to dust."

Lan and Xu Chu nodded and were about to turn around and leave, but were blocked by Zhang Cheng.

Cao Cao's face suddenly turned gloomy when he saw this. "Zhang Cheng, what do you mean by this?"

"Cao Cao, we need to talk some more. Xu Chu and Lan can't leave for now."

"Let's talk?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, "Xu Fu has already been killed by you, what else is there for us to talk about?"

"We certainly have a lot to talk about."

Zhang Cheng smiled at Cao Cao and said, "First, you need to sign an agreement with Ma Chao to support Xiliang's independence and not to use military force against Xiliang in the next three years."

"Secondly, you need to promise Lu Bu that you will allow him to leave the capital of Wei with his personal guards, and that you will not use military force against him within three years."

After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Cao Cao frowned immediately.

"Of course you can refuse. If you choose not to agree, our previous verbal agreement will be invalidated and the battle will continue."

Zhang Cheng was directly threatening Cao Cao.

This made Cao Cao frown in displeasure.

However, since Zhang Cheng and others were able to kill Xu Fu, they must also be able to kill Cao Cao.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng’s threat was very effective to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and turned to look at Lu Bu.

"Lü Bu, I allow you to leave with your guards, but the rest of your troops must stay where they are."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Lu Bu smiled and said, "I don't have any other soldiers. I have 10,000 men, all of whom are my personal guards."

"You've gone too far."

"You are too much. You haven't paid my 10,000 soldiers for half a year. I found ways to raise their salaries myself. I'm paying them, but they are not my personal guards, so how could they be Cao Cao's army?"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and finally chose to compromise.

"Where are you going to lead your troops? To Xiliang?"

"No, I want to lead my troops to surrender to Xuanyong. You don't dare to use me without confidence, but I believe that Xuanyong's Miyue can use me with confidence."

Xuan Yong defeated Meng Tian and had a large army under his command, and he was still valued by Mi Yue.

In Lu Bu's opinion, although Mi Yue is a woman, she is more open-minded than Cao Cao.

Going to Xuanyong to join Miyue was not a decision made on a whim by Lu Bu, but the result of Lu Bu's repeated thinking and consideration.

In addition, Lu Bu was very confident in his appearance.

Lu Bu believed that after arriving in Xuanyong, he would have a high probability of conquering Mi Yue with his strength, ability and handsome appearance.

When Lu Bu makes Mi Yue his woman, he will even have the opportunity to control the entire Xuanyong.

To take a step back, even if he couldn't make Mi Yue his woman, there would definitely be no problem in making Mi Yue his godmother.

This path is no longer feasible for my godfather.

There is still room for improvement in this path of godmother.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then nodded to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is very powerful, like a thorn in the side.

In addition, Lu Bu had a bad reputation and often betrayed others.

If he went to Xuanyong, the people of Xuanyong might not tolerate Lu Bu.

Therefore, after Lu Bu went to Xuanyong, there was a high probability that he would have a conflict with the people of Xuanyong.

At that time, I will send someone to work secretly, and maybe I can kill Lu Bu with the help of Xuanyong people.

"Okay, I'll let you and Ma Chao take your men out of Wei's capital. I promise you that within three years, as long as you don't provoke me, I will never send troops to deal with you."

"You have three years. After three years, don't blame me, Cao Cao, for being cruel and ruthless."

After Ma Chao and Lu Bu nodded, Cao Cao looked at Zhang Cheng again.

"Can you let my people leave now?"

Before Zhang Cheng could reply, Cao Cao added, "I have already given great respect to the Jixia Academy. I hope you won't push your luck."

Zhang Cheng estimated that Sun Shangxiang and the others had most likely evacuated safely. He nodded gently to Cao Cao and said, "Don't be angry. I'm being fair. If you give me a favor, I'll give you a favor."

"Well, I'll show you a way."

"Three months from now, it will be the old master's thousand-year-old birthday. The old master's birthday has never been made public, but you should also know that elderly people like to be lively."

"You can prepare gifts and go to Jixia Academy. As long as you can make the old master happy, you will definitely get huge benefits. Also, take this opportunity to communicate with the students of Jixia Academy. As long as you can leave a good impression on the students of Jixia Academy, after they graduate, if three or five of them are willing to be loyal to you, you will have no shortage of talents around you in the future."

Zhang Cheng's words immediately made Cao Cao raise his eyebrows.

After a while, Cao Cao asked Zhang Cheng enthusiastically: "Brother Zhang Cheng, I wonder what the old master likes?"

"Clocks! The old man likes clocks. He has collected many big clocks. He will be very happy if you give him a clock."
