Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 241 Zhang Sui vs. Xi Zhicai: Doubts about Cao Cao
Zhang Sui played with the Qingguang sword for a while, and without hesitation, tied it around his waist.

This Qinggang sword is Cao Cao's personal sword in Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

During Zhao Yun's seven ins and outs at Changbanpo, the sword was taken away by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun relied on this Qinggang sword to kill many of Cao Cao's generals.

In a movie before the time travel, in which Andy Lau played Zhao Yun, Cao Cao's granddaughter Cao Ying launched a series of battles to regain the Qinggang sword, and finally killed Zhao Yun and took back the sword.

Although Zhang Sui was not particularly interested in this sword.

However, if I accept it, I always feel that it has some extraordinary meaning.

When Xi Zhicai saw Zhang Sui accept the Qinggang sword, he smiled and said, "A hero deserves a sword."

"With this Qinggang sword, the young general will be invincible on the battlefield."

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"Sir, please feel free to speak up."

"The reason you gave me this Qinggang sword instead of others is because you thought I was young, short-sighted, and could not resist temptation."

"Well, now let's start the show!"

Xi Zhicai: “.”

Why do I feel like I miscalculated?

How could he see through my own thoughts?

Xi Zhicai was at a loss for words when Zhang Sui suddenly said, "Oh, sir, your forehead is dark and your complexion is not good. Do you want me to tell your fortune?"

Xi Zhicai asked suspiciously, "Fortune telling? General, do you know this?"

Zhang Sui motioned Xi Zhicai to stretch out his left hand and said with a smile, "Didn't the general just say that my first teacher was Ding Jianyang, Mr. Ding?"

"He practiced the art of fortune-telling."

"To be honest, when he was summoned to Chang'an by General He Jin to serve the king, he had just accepted me as his disciple."

Zhang Sui lied without blushing, "Before he set out, he had calculated that he was going to die, so he gave me the books and told me to study hard and come out of the mountains after I had learned enough. I would definitely achieve something great."

Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Sui quietly without refuting.

He didn't know much about Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou.

However, he knew that Ding Yuan quickly gained a foothold in Bingzhou and trained an outstanding army.

However, he did not refuse.

He stretched out his left hand and let Zhang Sui hold it. Xi Zhicai said, "Okay, please help me calculate it, General."

"I wonder which book the young general's fortune-telling technique came from?"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "My fortune-telling skills come from Mr. Ding himself."

"It's different from the previous divination techniques."

"For fortune-telling, we mainly look at the three lines on the palm."

"It is clearly the life line, career line, and marriage line."

Zhang Sui raised his head and looked at Xi Zhicai, smiling, "Have you heard of it?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head.

Zhang Sui stroked Xi Zhicai's marriage line and shook his head, "Sir, this is your marriage line."

"Your marriage line is ridiculously thin, like a woman's."

"It was bare during that time, without any twists and turns."

"This means that you, sir, have not married, and you have no chance of having children."

Although Zhang Sui disliked Cao Cao very much.

However, in history, Cao Cao treated the descendants of his meritorious officials well.

Although Xi Zhicai was Cao Cao's early adviser, there is no detailed record of him, and there is no news of any offspring after his death.

The most likely reason is that Xi Zhicai has no living relatives and no children.

Of course, Zhang Sui did not say anything absolute, but observed Xi Zhicai's reaction while speaking.

As soon as Xi Zhicai showed a look of disapproval, he immediately changed his words.

Seeing Xi Zhicai's face looked a little ugly, Zhang Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's true.

Xi Zhicai has no relatives and no children.

Zhang Sui pointed at Xi Zhicai's cleavage and said, "Sir, this is your cleavage."

"Your cleavage is very thick, rising straight up from the bottom, but it's very short."

"It means that after Mr. Wang came out of seclusion, he was respected by others and the relationship between the ruler and his subjects was harmonious."

"pity--"

Xi Zhicai: “.”

Although he didn't quite believe it, he unexpectedly found that what Zhang Sui said was very accurate!
He was born into a small family in Yingchuan, and all his relatives died of plague during a year of severe drought.

As a young boy at that time, he could only follow the Xun family, a prominent family from Yingchuan, to flee north to Jizhou and seek refuge with Han Fu, a fellow villager from Yingchuan.

During the years he stayed in Jizhou, his intelligence and talent were noticed by Xun Yu, so he followed Xun Yu all the way.

At that time, Xun Yu followed Cao Cao in his campaigns, and as one of his aides, he had no energy to get married and have children.

In addition, he had been traveling all the time since he was a child and his health was very poor, so the doctor asked him to abstain from sex and take care of his health.

Therefore, until now, he has not married and has no children.

And because he was introduced to Cao Cao by Xun Yu and had some ideas, he was always valued by Cao Cao.

only--

Xi Zhicai frowned and said, "What a pity?"

Zhang Sui stroked Xi Zhicai's cleavage and said, "The cleavage is too short, it stops halfway."

Zhang Sui touched the life line again and said, "The life line is the same, and it merges with the career line and eventually disappears into nothingness."

"This means, sir, you are about to die."

"Moreover, it happened within this year and a half."

In history, Xi Zhicai died around the third year of Xingping.

That is next year.

It was also in this year that Cao Cao asked Xun Yu for new talents to replace Xi Zhicai, and then Guo Jia officially came forward.

Xi Zhicai quickly pulled his hand back, his face pale as he said, "Young General, please don't try to trick me."

Zhang Sui sighed and said, "If you don't believe it, you can wait."

"Finally, let me tell you one more thing."

"After your life line and career line meet, there is a dotted line extending."

"This means that after your death, your former lord and others no longer remember your contributions."

"Someone has taken your place and enjoyed all your kindness."

"The dotted line circles around and eventually returns to the point where the career line and life line meet. This means that the person who replaced you and enjoyed all your benefits is your fellow countryman."

"And, because this person hasn't shown up yet, it's a dotted line."

“Because the dotted line connects your career line and life line, it means that this person only appeared after your death.”

"That's all."

"Sir, you can figure it out yourself.

After Zhang Sui finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the governor's residence.

In history, Cao Cao smoothly welcomed Emperor Liu Xie to Xudu.

And this time, even if Cao Cao can succeed, the process will be full of variables.

This is what I must do as a member of Yuan Shao's army!
It would be best if Yuan Shao could welcome the emperor.

But, apparently, it's too difficult.

Then, we can only give Cao Cao a little trouble.

Xi Zhicai watched Zhang Sui's back disappear in the governor's mansion, then he lowered his head and looked at the lines on his left hand.

His body was trembling slightly.

I had exhausted my health and worked tirelessly for my lord Cao Cao, but he replaced me with someone else?
Moreover, this person is from my hometown Yingchuan?
Or will it appear after your death?
If his fellow villager could replace him, he must have been introduced by Xun Yu.

Xi Zhicai clenched his fists.

After I go back this time, I will ask Xun Yu.

Zhang Sui explained this in such detail and with such certainty.

If what he said was true, then the person who replaced him must have already emerged and was known by Xun Yu.

Xi Zhicai walked towards the audience hall while coughing.

Although he was willing to work hard for Cao Cao, even to the detriment of his health.

However, he found it hard to accept that he had to pay the price of his life and was eventually forgotten by Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others, and had to have others take over his favor!

Xi Zhicai recalled the experience of following Cao Cao in his battles over the years.

It seems that Cao Cao did do a lot of ungrateful things.

In the past, he fled from Chang'an to avoid the traitor Dong Zhuo, passed by the home of his father's old friend, and killed his father's old friend's entire family.

Afterwards, Chen Gong helped him lobby the aristocratic families in Yanzhou with his eloquent tongue, allowing him to take Yanzhou without bloodshed. However, because some of the aristocratic families spoke rudely to him, he beheaded the children of the aristocratic families in the street, which led to Chen Gong's direct betrayal.

Once I die, I will be of no use to him and will probably be forgotten soon.

Suddenly, Xi Zhicai shivered and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

what's the situation?
Why did I begin to question the character and motives of my lord Cao Cao?
