Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 237: Leave your life and death to God’s will!
Swish!
The long sword swept across and cut off Cao Pi's bun, causing Cao Pi's body to tremble violently.

"You still don't admit it?"

Cao Pi slowly opened his eyes and saw the hair falling on the ground.

As long as Cao Cao's hand shook just now, he would really be dead.

Boundless fear spread throughout his body instantly.

But Cao Pi kept Ye Fan's words in mind and did not let go until such a critical situation.

"It wasn't Brother Chong who killed Hao'er. Hao'er has never done this before, let alone a murderer!"

"The father only wants to believe what he guesses, but he doesn't want to believe the child. The child has nothing to say."

Cao Cao's eyes were fixed on Cao Pi, and he returned to the couch after a while.

There was a chessboard on the couch, and he put the messy chess pieces back into the chess jar little by little.

"Come, sit down in front of me."

Cao Cao pointed to the opposite side of the chessboard and said.

Cao Pi did not refuse, but stood up slowly. At this moment, he realized that his legs were weak and he almost couldn't stand up.

The father and son sat in front of the chessboard, as if they were playing against each other.

"Pi'er, you said you didn't kill Chong'er, then let God decide. If it's an odd number, it means you didn't lie to your father. If it's an even number, it means you killed Chong'er, and I will kill you!"

Of course Cao Pi refused to leave his fate to God, but he also knew that he could not stop it.

But until the last moment, he was still defending himself.

"The father is wronging the child. The child has never done anything to be sorry for his father or brother."

"No matter what the final result is, the child will still not admit what he has not done."

Cao Cao said nothing, just grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess jar and started placing them on the chessboard one by one.

Bang, bang...

Every crisp sound was like a reminder, causing Cao Pi to close his eyes in fear, not daring to look again.

This heavy pressure made him want to run away, but if Cao Cao wanted to kill him, he would not be able to escape no matter where he ran, so he could only keep praying in his heart.

Finally, when placing the seventh chess piece, Cao Cao stopped.

"It seems that you really didn't lie to your father. Chong'er's death had nothing to do with you."

Cao Pi slowly opened his eyes and almost cried with joy. He didn't realize that his fingertips were deeply embedded in his flesh.

"Father, child..."

His voice was full of grievance, but he was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

Cao Cao's tone was much softer and somewhat comforting.

"Okay, go back and rest first. The burden on your shoulders will be very heavy in the future."

Cao Pi nodded repeatedly, stood up, bowed to Cao Cao, hid his bleeding hands in his sleeves, and then slowly withdrew.

After Cao Pi left, Cao Cao spread his hands, and there was a chess piece in his hand!
What happened here really came true to what Ye Fan said.

Cao Pi's life and death does not depend on Cao Pi or Ye Fan, but on Cao Cao!
……

After returning, Cao Pi first rearranged his hair, and then hurried to Ye Fan's mansion.

"gentlemen!"

As soon as they met, Cao Pi stepped forward and took Ye Fan's arm, looking grateful.

"Thank you sir for your life-saving grace. According to what you sir said, my father did not kill me!"

When Ye Fan saw Cao Pi's appearance, he knew that Cao Pi must have gone through a lot of suffering in front of Cao Cao.

He sighed slowly: "It's already good that the young master is alive."

Cao Pi nodded repeatedly, feeling more and more that Mark was unfathomable. If he could get Ye Fan's help, who else would be his opponent?

"Sir, I don't understand something. My father clearly wanted to kill me at first, but why did he let me go?"

On the way back, he also figured out that Cao Cao used the chess pieces in the end to crush his last psychological defense.

In fact, whether the chess pieces in his hand are odd or even, is it not in Cao Cao's own hands?

So he was very confused.

Ye Fan sighed slowly.

"The Prime Minister has good intentions."

"Now that Cao Chong is dead, the prime minister also realizes that the battle for the crown prince should come to an end, otherwise more things that will make him sad will happen."

"And calling you over today is a test for you. If you persist and are not scared by the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister will have achieved his goal."

Cao Pi suddenly looked like he was suddenly enlightened.

"I see, sir, does this mean I have passed the test now?"

Ye Fan nodded slowly.

"That's right. If you don't admit it, you have withstood the Prime Minister's test. No matter what you say is true or false, the Prime Minister will never do anything to you again."

"And the position of Crown Prince will also fall on you."

Cao Pi was immediately overjoyed, remembering the last words Cao Cao said to him, and suddenly understood the meaning in his heart.

He bowed deeply to Mark again.

"Sir, your kindness will be greatly appreciated by Cao Pi!"

Xichuan Chengdu.

Since Liu Zhang took the initiative to send military rations to Cao Cao, he really didn't get any news that Cao Cao was planning to send troops to Xichuan.

This made Liu Zhang feel that his original decision was very correct, so he felt relieved.

On this day, he suddenly received a letter from Liu Bei.

"Hey, has Liu Bei already come to Xichuan?"

Liu Zhang frowned deeply. He knew Liu Bei's situation. No matter where he went, he would suffer disaster. He was simply an ominous person.

Opening the letter, I saw what Liu Bei wanted to say.

"Brother Liu Zhang, now Cao Cao is using the emperor to order the princes and destroy the majesty of the Han Dynasty. We are all members of the Han family and should share the worries of the imperial court.

However, Liu Bei is weak and unable to fight against Cao Cao, so I wrote a letter asking my brother to join me in fighting against Cao Cao's thieves..."

Liu Zhang slowly read out the contents of the letter, but his face slowly turned gloomy.

After reading it, he placed the letter on the table and frowned deeply.

How could he not understand the principles stated in the letter?
But he has no idea of ​​dominating the world. What he wants to do is to stay in Xichuan, be a free prince, and live a life of glory and wealth. Why bother to fight for life and death?

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he decided to reject Liu Bei, so he wrote a letter.

The letter stated his attitude, and also warned Liu Bei that he would not cause trouble to Liu Bei because he was a member of the Han clan, but he ordered Liu Bei to leave Xichuan as soon as possible.

Soon, the letter reached Liu Bei's hands.

When he learned the contents of the letter, Liu Bei was greatly disappointed.

"Oh, I'm so confused. I'm still trying to please Cao Cao, but how could Cao Cao let Xichuan go?"

Liu Bei sighed sadly, his face full of sorrow.

Zhuge Liang sighed, looking gloomy.
