Chen Zhou returned to the cell and continued to wait quietly.
He could imagine that even if Cao Ang submitted the complete plan to Cao Cao, he would have to wait for a while before leaving.
However, Chen Zhou was not impatient.
"gentlemen."
The warden came again. He knew that Cao Cao was eavesdropping on the lecture just now, so he became more and more polite to Chen Zhou. He walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Young Master, we have prepared wine and food for you again."
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Excuse me, how about we come together?"
"Don't dare!"
How dare the warden sit at the same table with Chen Zhou, unless his life is at risk.
He didn't dare, and Chen Zhou didn't force it.
After finishing all the food and wine, he lay down on the soft couch and could look out through the window when he raised his head.
It's daytime now, but I fell asleep just looking at it.
It was already night when I woke up, and there were stars everywhere outside the window.
"The sky in ancient times was still beautiful. It was blue during the day and starry at night."
Chen Zhou muttered in his heart, feeling that being in jail was too boring. When other death row inmates were not taken away for execution, they could still chat. Now, he was basically the only one left in the cell, along with a few other prisoners. They and Zhang It doesn't matter to Miao and others, they were kept far away.
It's hard to talk.
"It's better to go out!"
Chen Zhou thought to himself, that young master must be more forceful.
Sometimes the more he wanted to go out, the less he could go out. Unknowingly, Chen Zhou stayed in the cell for another five days. Five days had passed since the last lecture and the plan was told to Cao Ang.
Within these five days, Chen Zhou would not see Cao Ang coming again.
Waiting can wear down a person's will. Just when Chen Zhou felt that his will was about to be worn away, someone finally came outside the cell.
Cao Ang finally arrived.
When Chen Zhou saw Cao Ang, he regained his energy.
"gentlemen!"
Cao Ang bowed and said, "I have been busy these days because Duke Cao is going to attack Yuzhou. It was just this morning that Duke Cao went to war, so I have time to come visit you again."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou understood that Cao Ang had really reported his plan.
Cao Cao may have believed the content of the plan when he attacked Yuzhou at this time.
However, if Cao Cao is attacking Yuzhou now, doesn't it mean that the time to go out will be extended. He asked tentatively: "Young master, should you report it? Has Mr. Cao given you any reward?"
Cao Ang said: "Cao Gong said that we will talk about it after we return from Yuzhou."
Chen Zhou expected this and asked, "Master, do you still want to attend classes today?"
"Sir, last time he said that the law of three hundred years of dynasty was the law. I went back and thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. So I can only come back and ask you for advice."
Cao Ang said: "Sir, please come outside!"
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Okay!"
They went out together. When they got outside, they were about to go to the private room when they saw a person walking in a hurry.
Xun Yu was dealing with documents when he got the news that Cao Ang had finally gone to the cell. He immediately rushed over to eavesdrop. He could never forget the three-hundred-year law of the dynasty and the saying that the Eastern Han Dynasty was exhausted. As a human being, these are the words that are most unbearable to hear.
I really want to know how Chen Zhou explains.
When Cao Cao attacked Yuzhou and returned to Yingchuan, Xun Yu did not follow him to fight. He and Xun You were responsible for the interior and the exterior, stabilizing the rear for Cao Cao.
But Xun Yu never expected that when he arrived, he would meet Chen Zhou and Cao Ang head-on.
The eavesdropping plan failed just like that.
Cao Ang blinked, wondering why a noble scribe like Mr. Xun would take the initiative to eavesdrop?
When he eavesdropped in the past, he could think that he was led astray by his father. Today he took the initiative to come here, and his tall image of Mr. Xun was also destroyed.
Thinking of this, Xun Yu smiled awkwardly. He wanted to leave, but it seemed like it was too late to leave now, right?
"Sir, do you know each other?"
Chen Zhou looked at the two people who were stunned on the spot, but he smelled a faint smell of incense from Xun Yu.
The scent comes from a sachet.
"know!"
It was Cao Ang who was the first to bite the bullet and said: "This gentleman, who is also someone close to Mr. Cao, is here to see me."
Father has said that their identities must not be exposed.
Fortunately, seeing Chen Zhou's reaction, he didn't know Xun Yu, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, Chen Zhou was just an ordinary subordinate official. He had met Cao Cao before, but never Xun Yu.
He often went in and out of brothels, didn't do anything serious, and didn't know many people. After time traveling, there was no impression of Xun Yu in his fused memories.
Just when they thought everything was fine and their identities were not exposed, Chen Zhou suddenly said: "But Yingchuan Xun Wenruo?"
Xun Yu and Cao Ang: "..."
"you know me?"
Xun Yu could tell that Chen Zhou had never seen him.
Judging from the tone of the question, the other party guessed his identity.
"It's through the smell, the smell."
Chen Zhou pointed to the sachet and said with a smile: "I have never met Mr. Xun, but I have heard that Mr. Xun likes to wear sachets. The fragrance lingers on his body for three days wherever he passes."
This is how Xun Ling's fragrance comes to be.
Xun Yu is simply an ancient, human-shaped walking perfume bottle.
"I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
Chen Zhou laughed.
"Good eyesight, very careful observation."
Xun Yu said with admiration.
No wonder Chen Zhou can analyze so many things in such detail and is also a careful person.
It's just that it was exposed, and it's hard for Cao Cao to explain.
After hesitating for a while, Xun Yu decided to go all out and said: "Master Cao came to ask me about the law of three hundred years of a dynasty. It is said that he heard it from here. I don't understand what this law is. Today I learned that Mr. Cao is here. , I can’t help but want to come over and listen to your lecture. Mr. Cao told us about Mr. Cao, and I am deeply impressed."
"Come in together!"
Chen Zhou did not refuse and walked into the private room first.
He was not surprised that Xun Yu knew about the lecture. Cao Ang must have reported it back, and Cao Cao would definitely discuss it with Xun Yu and the others.
After they sat down.
Chen Zhou asked: "What does Mr. Xun think about the three-hundred-year rule of the dynasty?"
Xun Yu asked back: "Mr. Chen proposed this law to show that the strength of the great man has been exhausted?"
"That's right!"
Chen Zhou nodded.
Xun Yu asked: "Why?"
Chen Zhou did not explain immediately and asked again: "Mr. Xun should know that the world is in chaos outside. Isn't this a sign that he has exhausted his strength?"
Xun You asked again: "After Emperor Ping, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and the world was in chaos, but it was restored by Guangwu."
"The big man at that time was less than three hundred years old, but he still had great strength."
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, what is Qi Shu?"
"The strength of a dynasty is difficult to define. It may be the political power, the economy, or some specific laws."
Chen Zhou looked at Xun Yu and continued to ask: "Since Mr. Xun can know the three-hundred-year law from the young master, he should have heard about the relationship between the Yellow Turban Uprising and the economy that I talked about some time ago?"
