Cao Cao's soul transmigrates into Murong Fu's body

Cao Cao's words proved prophetic!

He knew that the Four Evils' attack on his door was not simply for revenge, but had a specific purpose.

At least for now, Duan Yanqing's skill level is above that of Duan Zhengchun and even Duan Zhengming.

Furthermore, with the help of the Western Xia Yipintang, it's not impossible for Duan Yanqing to lead troops to attack Dali.

Therefore, the question of who will inherit the throne from the Duan family might also be the reason for Duan Yanqing's uninvited visit.

Having finished recounting the story of the Four Evils, Cao Cao, as an outsider, could only touch upon the matter further.

The reason they were allowed to stay in Luoyang for a few more days was because of something related to Duan Zhengchun.

"Lord Duan, I couldn't speak frankly when facing the Four Evils just now, but I'll be frank now."

Cao Cao took a sip of tea, paused for a moment, and gave everyone time to prepare themselves.

Then he slowly asked, "Is the son of Prince Duan named Duan Yu?"

"Does Young Master Murong know my son's whereabouts? We've traveled north without finding him. It's all my wife's fault for spoiling him too much; she left Dali not long ago, saying she was going on a trip..."

When Duan Zhengchun left Dali, Emperor Baoding repeatedly instructed him to bring Duan Yu back.

Duan Zhengming had no sons and could only rely on Duan Zhengchun's branch of the family. He had long planned to hand over the throne to Duan Yu.

"Yes, Brother Duan is traveling to Luoyang with my Murong family's merchant caravan!"

"My son must have learned about the martial arts conference being held at Shaolin Temple after he went to Jiangnan, so he has bothered Young Master Murong. Let's wait here for a few days."

Duan Zhengchun knew that Murong Fu had no reason to lie.

However, seeing Ruan Xingzhu's eyes, my heart skipped a beat. Would Ruan Xingzhu go to see Murong Fu these next few days?

"Women need to be kept in close watch; Murong Fu, that junior, almost took advantage of the situation."

Ruan Xingzhu was the woman Duan Zhengchun loved the most, and she even bore him two daughters.

It should be noted that Ruan Xingzhu had a child out of wedlock when she was young, which incurred the wrath of her family, so she did not remarry.

Occasionally, when Duan Zhengchun came to visit, she would become his mistress, without any formal status.

In comparison, Duan Zhengchun's other lovers all had families and their own careers, while Ruan Xingzhu seemed to be a rootless duckweed.

Moreover, she still regrets the things she did when she was young.

What he regrets is that neither of his two daughters are by his side anymore, and he doesn't even know where they are.

Cao Cao was exceptionally skilled in intelligence work, both during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and in this world.

After transmigrating and becoming Murong Fu, he quickly established his own intelligence network system.

After years of development, it has long been comparable to a country's intelligence gathering system.

Therefore, Cao Cao also knew some of Duan Zhengchun's secrets, and with the fragments in Kang Min's memory, Cao Cao didn't actually have much affection for Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun claimed to be deeply in love, but in reality, he was the kind of guy who would just leave without a second thought and had absolutely no sense of responsibility!

Cao Cao was different. Although he might not have had genuine feelings for any of the women, he was at least truly responsible for them.

They have official titles, financial resources, and emotional value; moreover, they dare to take responsibility for their actions.

In contrast, Duan Zhengchun, though a king, lacked Cao Cao's carefree personality.

The possibility of tragedy occurring later is still very high.

Cao Cao was very good at judging people. Not only was Duan Zhengchun's lover both ruthless and loving towards him, but the same was true for others.

Therefore, the probability of something going wrong is still quite high.

Although Cao Cao had not read the original novel of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, he could roughly guess Duan Zhengchun's tragic end.

"Come in, Sister Xingzhu, do you mind if I call you that?"

After dinner, Ruan Xingzhu went to Cao Cao's room with a heavy heart, as if she had something difficult to say.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind, Young Master Murong. Last time you saved me and said I looked like someone I knew. Could it be...?"

"Sister Xingzhu, you guessed right, you'll be able to meet this person in a few days."

"You also came from Jiangnan? With Duan Yu?"

"Yes, all I can say is that she not only looks somewhat like you, but she also has the character 'Duan' on her left shoulder!"

"My daughter, my daughter!"

Ruan Xingzhu exclaimed in surprise, and Duan Zhengchun, who was prying open the door, rushed inside.

Seeing that the two hadn't done anything too outrageous, Ruan Xingzhu hugged him and cried, "Zhengchun, we've found our daughter! Young Master Murong said she'll come to Luoyang with Yu'er soon!"

"Our daughter?"

Duan Zhengchun was stunned. He never expected that his daughter, who had been missing for many years, would reappear. However, he was still very happy after learning the whole story.

Although I don't know if it's the eldest daughter or the youngest daughter, at least we've found her.

Duan Zhengchun had always missed them. Although they had only spent less than a year or two together, he had experienced what it meant to enjoy family life during that time.

Unfortunately, Duan Zhengchun had a shrew at home, Dao Baifeng, which made him dare to have affairs outside but not bring them home. This made many of his lovers hate him, and there were many cases of love turning into hate.

"Thank you, Young Master Murong. We won't disturb your rest any longer."

Cao Cao knew what Duan Zhengchun was thinking; he was simply afraid of being cuckolded. But hadn't he already cuckolded enough others?

Considering that they were likely A'Zhu's parents, Cao Cao still wanted to see A'Zhu's opinion, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference.

As one of the three giants of Tianlong, Duan Yu had many adventures. After learning the Six Meridians Divine Sword at Tianlong Temple, the unreliable Six Meridians Divine Sword was no match for him, so he was kidnapped by Kumārajīva and taken to Gusu.

Thanks to A Zhu and A Bi's clever and mischievous actions, Duan Yu was rescued, and then she and Wang Yuyan joined a merchant caravan to find their cousin.

I don't know exactly what happened, but Duan Yu always called Wang Yuyan "Fairy Sister," which is probably related to his own extraordinary encounter.

Wang Yuyan had been deeply in love with Murong Fu since childhood, and after Cao Cao traveled through time, he took great care of her.

Having lacked a father's love since childhood, Wang Yuyan also relied on Cao Cao as if he were her father, so when she learned that Cao Cao was in Luoyang, she followed him there.

"Azhu and Abi are still so clever. Kumārajīva, who can't swim, is just asking for death by coming to Jiangnan. Fortunately, he doesn't have any hostility towards the Murong family, so he can still be subdued."

Cao Cao reviewed the intelligence reports that had been coming from Gusu in recent days, put them together, and roughly understood what was going on.

Kumārajīva had some connections with Murong Bo in his early years. Although it was somewhat inexplicable that he brought Duan Yu along as the living sword manual for the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he actually had his own reasons. Now that Duan Yu has run away, Kumārajīva will probably follow him.

"The martial arts tournament has gained another master; Kumārajīva's martial arts skills should not be underestimated!"

Cao Cao never underestimated anyone. Although he had never fought against Kumārajīva, judging from the descriptions in A'Zhu's letters, Kumārajīva's martial arts skills were not weak.

If it weren't for Kumārajīva's connection with the Murong clan, and the fact that he didn't kill A'Zhu and A'Bi, the Yanziwu area in Gusu would probably have been thrown into chaos by Kumārajīva.

The most crucial thing is that he just happened to arrive in Luoyang, and it would be bad if Suzhou were to be raided.
