Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 72 Betting on two boats, two-way betting

Maybe it's thinking too much.

Or maybe the mental pressure was a bit high, which made Li Ru extremely nervous.

So much so that there were streaks of blood in his eyes at this moment, and his lips were a little pale because of dryness, but he still looked at Cao Ang with piercing eyes.

"What kind of escape route can you give me? I want to hear it. If it's worth the risk, what if I have the courage to help you once?"

Therefore, Li Ru was afraid of Dong Zhuo, and under Dong Zhuo's oppression, he could do anything.

If he had no other choice, he would of course advance and retreat with Dong Zhuo, live and die together, even if he sank, he would sink in the same boat.

But now that there are other choices, Cao Ang clearly stated that he could put a retreat in front of him, so this loyalty can naturally be loosened.

I saw Li Ru looking a little loose.

Cao Ang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

Still full of confidence, he patted himself on the chest very firmly, and then said proudly.

"Brother Wen You's escape route is not elsewhere, but on me, Cao Ang!"

"you?"

Li Ru didn't quite believe it.

Although the kid in front of him is indeed extraordinary, in terms of interpersonal communication, courage, and vision, this is not the reason why Li Ru entrusted him with his wealth and life.

Find a way out for yourself, and the way out must be stable and safe at the same time.

Following Dong Zhuo's rebellion is definitely a heinous crime, and he also killed many officials in the court, which can be said to have deep grievances.

If it is not someone with certain strength, if Dong Zhuo falls in the future, he will definitely not be able to keep him.

So how is it considered a retreat?

Faced with Li Ru's doubts, the most important thing at this time is to increase his confidence and demonstrate his importance.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Brother Wen You, don't tell me you look down on me and think that I will be mediocre in the future, and my mediocre life will not be enough for you to entrust your family and life?"

"My father is now the general of the court, the middle and the right, and I am the captain of Huben. My father and son are in command of thousands of elite soldiers."

"At the same time, my grandfather used to spend money to serve as the Taiwei in the court. The most important thing our Cao family lacks is money. If there is no shortage of money, naturally there will be no shortage of food."

"If you have money and food, with my father and son's abilities, I can conquer a world and turn it into a prince wherever I go outside."

"Based on this, isn't it enough to find a way out for Brother Wen You?"

……

Li Ru remained silent.

Although what Cao Ang said was very pleasant.

He described the future prospects of the Cao family and his son as smooth sailing, but he still has concerns.

Because of such things as human destiny, who can explain clearly?

Maybe Cao's father and son look good now, but they may not always be able to go smoothly in the future. Things like this are not a lesson.

Seeing that Li Ru still clenched his teeth and did not let go.

Cao Ang couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Thoughts raced through my mind.

A flash of inspiration soon followed.

Then he pointed to the Empress Dowager's family who had just retreated to the side of the Nuan Pavilion, and whispered.

"I can't guarantee it myself, so adding the Queen Mother and King Hongnong is enough, right?"

"As long as they are rescued, if Dong Zhuo gains power in the future, I will not dare to let them show up in the world. I can guarantee that I will keep my mouth shut, and there will never be a day when things will come out."

"On the other hand, once Dong Zhuo loses power, the emperor he helped up will become a false emperor. Naturally, he will welcome King Hongnong back to the throne again."

"At that time, the few of them naturally cared about your merciful grace today. Once the emperor Jinkou opened, are you still worried that you have no way out?"

"Is this the greatest guarantee?"

"Shh!" sounded.

Li Ru suddenly raised his head.

Thoughts flashed like thunder.

Excitement shone in his eyes.

He is a very smart person, it can be said that he can understand a little bit, not to mention Cao Ang's words are so clear.

That's why!

If Dong Zhuo's orders were followed to kill the Empress Dowager and the Deposed Emperor today, it would be nothing more than adding a few corpses, which would be very meaningful to Dong Zhuo, but useless to him.

But if he had the guts to let the queen mother and the others out of the palace quietly, if Dong Zhuo failed in the future, it would mean that the deposed emperor would make a comeback.

What I have done today is a great kindness. The Queen Mother and others will take care of their feelings and will come forward to protect themselves.

Coupled with the investment in Cao Ang himself.

This deal is definitely done!

It is indeed a safe and secure retreat!
What he, Li Ru, did was like betting on both sides at the same time, stepping on two wooden boats with both feet.

It's just that one party bets too much, and if he wins, he can win a big victory, and he will be rich and prosperous from then on.

The other party's bet is a little less, and after winning, they can only keep this life.

But that's enough!

What more can I ask for?
There are not many gambling games that can keep capital!

……

After thinking about it all.

Li Ru took two steps forward decisively, closing the distance he had opened just now.

Immediately afterwards, he asked eagerly: "Is there any way you can properly send the Queen Mother and the others out of the palace?"

"You must know that even if I am, it is impossible to leave the palace with such obvious figures as the Queen Mother and the others. As long as someone reports to the higher authorities, it will definitely arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicion!"

"If you want me to help you, you have to come up with a proper method, just relying on enthusiasm is useless!"

Li Ru's attitude was completely opposite to before.

Instead, he began to urgently ask Cao Ang to come up with a plan.

Cao Ang is quite satisfied with this.

Li Ru's attitude changed and his willingness to cooperate with him meant that the entire rescue plan was [-]% successful.

The last achievement depends on the specific implementation.

Facing Li Ru's inquiry.

Cao Ang groped in his arms for a while.

Then he took out a glass bottle, put it on the palm of his hand and presented it in front of his eyes, it was those few pills of suspended animation.

"Brother Wen You, please take a look. This is a fake death drug that I got from a merchant in the Western Regions. After taking it, it can make people look like they are dead, without breathing or pulse."

"I will give these pills to the Queen Mother and the others later, and it will be like a few corpses in just a moment, and no one will be able to notice the difference."

"You can leave the city openly!"

Hearing Cao Ang brag about this thing so magically, Li Ru couldn't help but took the bottle from him.

He rubbed the bottle slightly with his thumb.

Then he opened the lid and smelled it, only to smell a stench, he couldn't help frowning, and closed the bottle tightly again.

"Is this thing sure to work?"

"I've never heard of it. There are such miraculous pills in the world."

Of course Cao Ang had never tried it, but he believed in the things he fished from that river.

Therefore, he affirmed without hesitation: "Don't worry, I've found someone to test the efficacy of the medicine, if I swallow it, I will fall into suspended animation within a few breaths, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of me, I can still keep my face intact! "

See Cao Ang said so firmly.

Li Ru also nodded involuntarily.

Then he made a fist with his right hand and waved heavily in the air.

"That's it!"

……

ps. Changed the cover, and lost five oceans. It is really ugly to use such a long name on the cover that comes with it.
