He nodded immediately, greeted the guards and rejected Sima Fang.
Yang Xiu nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the fourth son Cao Zhi had lost his way and returned.
He didn't know that Cao Zhi was thinking about how to get his second sister-in-law. If he was punished by his father Cao Cao because of this, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?
In Cao Zhi's opinion.
Now the most core action must be carried out centered on "Zhen Mi", everything else is just magic horses and floating clouds...it doesn't matter!
The guard ran out in a hurry.
He prevaricated: "Master Sima, the Fourth Young Master is seriously ill in bed, why don't you go back first?"
"sick?"
Sima Fang's expression was unusually flat.
Today, because of this reason, it is commonplace to be turned away.
Chapter 375 Why don't you ask the Fifth Young Master!
Only the second son is left!
Cao Pi's name appeared on Sima Fang's forehead.
He has always been the closest to the Sima family, even if he is away on an expedition now, it would be great if he could write a letter and say a few words for the Sima family!
Now, go to Zhaoyang Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, just after walking out of the trail near Lingyan Pavilion, he saw He Yan and Qin Lang standing there, as if deliberately waiting for him.
He Yan and Qin Lang are the confidantes of the second son Cao Pi, Sima Fang knows this.
Seeing them, Sima Fang suddenly felt hopeful.
"Second Young Master Zhai is kind-hearted, and at this moment, dare to help this old man!"
Quickly walked over.
He shouted: "Nephew He Yan, Nephew Qin Lang!"
Sima Fang's tone at this time was gentle and courteous.
It really doesn't look like the elders shouting to the younger generation.
Unexpectedly, He Yan in front of him hastily stretched out his hand, signaling Sima Fang to stop over there.
Qin Lang threw him something.
When Sima Fang caught it, it was a piece of traditional Chinese medicine - angelica!
Angelica, should return?
Immediately moved, could it be that the second son Cao Pi meant, "The Sima family should be under his second son's sect now?"
Sima Fang's thoughts changed sharply.
As long as he can save the lives of all members of the Sima family and join the second son Cao Pi, so what?
At the time of life and death, even Sima Fang, who had never stood in line or participated in party struggles, compromised.
Uh…
wrong…
The angelica in the hand has only a body but no head and whiskers!
Angelica is a traditional Chinese medicine, the most important thing is the head and beard!
What is the reason.
Sima Fang raised his head, looked at He Yan and Qin Lang, and wanted to get the answer from them.
"Master Sima Fang, isn't it obvious what the decapitated angelica means?
An angelica whose head and beard can hardly be kept?
Even if it is used as medicine, how much medicinal property can it still have? "
After all, He Yan and Qin Lang shook their heads lightly.
This…
Sima Fang was shocked!
He didn't expect that the second son Cao Pi would compare the Sima family to an angelica about to be beheaded.
The beheaded Sima family?
The second son Cao Pi has no interest at all.
"Master Sima Fang has sent a letter to Second Young Master, so hurry up and spend time with your family!
Your time is probably running out..."
After He Yan finished speaking, he turned and left with Qin Lang without even stopping.
Only Sima Fang was left, kneeling on the stone path.
This……
Sima Fang barely caught his breath.
Especially in my heart, there is air stuck in my chest.
Is this the attitude of the second son Cao Pi?
When the Sima family was wooed back then, it was coins and gifts.
Every day, Cao Pi even visited in person, and never missed a day!
But now, when the Sima family is in trouble, Cao Pi chooses to protect his life wisely and cuts off contact with him so directly that he dare not even accept a single letter!
Sima Fang sighed.
"Heaven perishes my Sima family, heaven perishes my Sima family!"
For a moment, a few drops of tears fell down uncontrollably.
Some government soldiers passing by helped Sima Fang to comfort him.
When Sima Fang was in an important position, he was generous and generous, so he had a good reputation!The government soldiers also felt sorry for him.
"Master Sima, why don't you try to ask Fifth Young Master?"
"Fifth Young Master?" Sima Fang only felt that this name was very familiar.
Immediately searching for the name in memory.
Oh!
It's the fifth son Cao Xiong who has been in the limelight recently!
"Where is his courtyard?"
Sima Fang hurriedly asked the soldiers.
The government soldiers informed them in detail.
Sima Fang seemed to have hope rekindled, moving his 60-year-old body, and ran towards that side quickly.
……
Chapter 376 The presence or absence of the Fifth Young Master!
Choose outside the pavilion.
"Fifth Young Master is not here, he went to Xinying in the suburbs early in the morning!"
After Sima Fang explained his purpose, the guards immediately replied to him.
...I saw his complexion turned pale immediately.
Are you not there?
Today, the most common excuses for refusing him are sickness or absence!
Strictly speaking, it seems that there are more answers of "absence".
Sima Fang turned around lamentingly, and didn't want to say anything more.
Cao Pi, the second son with a close relationship, chose to be wise and protect his life.
How could Cao Xiong, the fifth son who had never dealt with him before, help him?
Sima Fang asked himself, it was too naive.
Even if the fifth son Cao Xiong deliberately avoids him with excuses, it is reasonable!
To blame can only blame the injustice of God!
The cautious Sima family encountered a catastrophe because of a dream of Prime Minister Cao!
It's ironic to think about it!
Sigh, a day of closed doors!
His civil and military colleagues and all the princes regarded him as a plague god.
"——The Sima family is closed!"
With a silent sigh in his heart, Sima Fang walked towards his Sima Mansion step by step with heavy steps...
He knew in his heart that once he entered the mansion, fortune and misfortune would be unpredictable...
…really.
Before entering the door, I found a group of soldiers surrounded by the gate of Sima Mansion!
The leader is the general, Cao Ren.
call!
Sima Fang exhaled.
Among the generals around Cao Cao, Cao Ren was the closest to him.
He was dispatched, which shows that Cao Cao attached great importance to the encirclement and suppression of Sima Mansion.
"Cao... General Cao!"
"Where the military order is, Master Sima has offended!"
Cao Ren's tone was flat, without any emotion.
Sima Fang also visited Cao Ren earlier in the morning, and the reply he got was that he was not in the mansion.
Reminiscent of his mobilization of troops to surround Sima Mansion, he reckoned that he was one of the few who didn't keep Sima Fang out with lies.
of course!
If there is a first, there is a second.
No, the fifth son, Cao Xiong, was standing at the gate with Sima Yi, meeting Sima Fang who was walking with his head bowed.
"Father!"
Sima Yi saluted first.
"Zhongmou...you should spend more time with your mother!"
Sima Fang didn't raise his head, and walked forward on his own.
But I heard a somewhat immature words coming.
"Lord Sima!"
