Cao Pi was shocked when he heard this.
The contrast between before and after is too great!
I was still pointing at your nose and scolding you, wanting to kill you.
How can I be grateful for such a great skill?
No one can stand such a drastic change, right?
"General Wang's words are serious! I never take it to heart."
"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"
Cao Pi patted Wang Lie's arm and said with a smile,
"General Wang is the confidant of Grand Administrator Gongsun and has repeatedly made military exploits. How can Grand Administrator Gongsun bear to punish him?"
"Even if there are no brothers waiting for mercy, I believe General Wang will be safe and sound."
"Why!"
Wang Lie sighed heavily, feeling extremely disappointed.
"Master Cao doesn't know something!"
"Gongsun Grand Administrator is a person...tsk tsk..."
In the middle of speaking, Wang Lie closed his mouth and looked cautious.
After a moment, he shook his head.
"Hey, forget it, just don't say it!"
"Why, General Wang has something to hide?"
How can we not make people confused after saying half a sentence?
Especially a very curious person like Cao Pi.
"I...forget it, let's not mention it."
Wang Lie thought for a while and shook his head.
Obviously, there is some reluctance to mention it.
After all, speaking out against one's master in front of others is unbecoming of a minister.
But the more Wang Lie acted like this, the more curious Cao Pi became, and the more he wanted Wang Lie to tell him.
Of course, it's not just curiosity, there are more important reasons.
Many words, hiding in the heart and speaking out are completely different concepts.
You can keep it hidden in your heart, but speaking it out is completely different.
If you say it, there is no possibility of taking back the water that is thrown out.
"General Wang, why is this so?"
"Didn't we call you brothers just now? Don't you trust Gu?"
Cao Pi deliberately showed an angry look, wanting Wang Lie to know his disappointment in him.
As he expected, Wang Lie was very anxious.
"Young Master Cao has been wronged!"
"Young Master is the King of Wei. It's too late for me to climb high. How can I question it?"
"It's just... just saying it, I'm afraid it will bring harm to the young master!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Cao Pi waved his hand, showing an immediate indifference.
"As brothers, we should share blessings and hardships!"
"If General Wang truly regards Gu as his brother, there is no need to care about anything else. Even if he is attacked by swords and axes and his country is destroyed, he will have no regrets!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lie was moved beyond measure.
His eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"I, Wang Lie, am free and lonely, without a father or a mother, so I have wasted half my life and encountered countless twists and turns!"
"Since I was born, I have never been as kind and kind to my subordinates as Mr. Cao!"
Seeing that Wang Lie became more and more excited as he spoke, Cao Pi quickly put his arm on his shoulder to comfort him.
"General Wang, you don't have to be like this! If the general is willing, you and Gu will be brothers from now on!"
Wang Lie nodded repeatedly.
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"
"good!"
Cao Pi grabbed Wang Lie's fist and stacked his hands tightly together.
"From now on, we live and die together!"
"We share the blessings and bear the hardships together!"
"good!"
Wang Lie was so moved that he replied with a trembling voice.
"Blessings and hardships are shared together!"
Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi on the side were extremely shocked. They didn't expect that the heroic words just now would become apparent so quickly.
Although there is no credit from Cao Pi, it is more like the result of Wang Lie's initiative.
But if you have results, you have results. Even if you are lucky, it is still merit.
Luck is always part of strength.
Maybe if it were another person, he might not have such luck.
"General Wang, do you know whether to say something or not?"
Wang Lie nodded heavily.
"Since we are brothers, it's okay! Mr. Cao can speak out if he has anything to say, no matter what he says, it's okay!"
Cao Pi's eyes lit up and his expression became rich.
This sentence touched him in an extraordinary way.
At the same time, Cao Zhixin on the side immediately raised his throat.
What if Cao Pi's head gets hot and he wants to surrender Wang Lie?
What if he surrenders and Wang Lie refuses?
Countless possibilities passed through my mind, none of which were beneficial to one's own side.
Cao Zhi was worried and his whole body became tense.
At this moment, Cao Pi finally spoke.
"General Wang, I actually think that Governor Gongsun loves you... very much, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
But Wang Lie's expression changed instantly.
"Extremely? Haha..."
"Young master Cao doesn't know something, Grand Administrator Gongsun...it's not as you think."
Cao Pi suppressed the joy in his heart and asked again.
"I wonder what General Wang means by this? I heard that General Wang owes his success to Grand Administrator Gongsun for his promotion?"
"Of course, the rumors may be false. If Gu said something wrong, General Wang should not blame him."
Wang Lie laughed sadly and shook his head slightly.
"Mr. Cao's words are serious, how dare I blame you?"
"This...is right to say it, but also wrong to say it is wrong."
Cao Pi pretended to be confused and showed concern.
"What do you mean by this?"
Wang Lie was depressed for a while before he made up his mind to tell.
"It's like this. The one who has the kindness to know and meet me is indeed the Grand Administrator Gongsun. The one who has the kindness to promote me is also the Grand Administrator Gongsun."
"It's just that this Grand Administrator Gongsun is far different from that Grand Administrator Gongsun..."
After hearing this, Cao Pi probably had an understanding and guessed what Wang Lie meant.
But in order to intensify the resentment in Wang Lie's heart, he once again pretended not to know.
"General Wang, please forgive me for being so stupid. I don't quite understand what this means."
"Why..."
Another lament came out of his mouth, and Wang Lie's eyes gradually became disappointed.
"To be honest with Mr. Cao, the person who has shown great kindness to me is actually Governor Gongsun Du."
"It's a pity that Grand Administrator Gongsun Du died early and is now in such a bad condition."
"To be honest, if it weren't for Mr. Cao today, it would be hard to predict whether I would be dead or alive..."
