Episode 400. Also Zhuge! (1)
“We follow orders.”
As the vanguard strode forward, the two guards next to Cao Cao held him down tightly.
Cao Cao looked into the avant-garde’s eyes and smiled.
“Come to think of it, if it wasn’t for you back then, I wouldn’t have been alive until now. I don’t think I was able to properly say thank you.... Thank you.”
“Goodbye. My old lord!”
The avant-garde slightly bowed his head toward Cao Cao, then swung his spear and cut his throat at once.
squeak.
Fuahak .....
The neck was cut off, blood was exhausted, and Jojo’s body was torn down.
After closing the spear, the vanguard took a step back and looked at the fireman.
“I have carried out my main mission.”
“Good work. After showing it to His Majesty, I have to send it to my family.
“I take orders.”
The avant-garde collected Cao Cao’s body with a strange expression that could not be said.
The fireman looked up at the vanguard who was collecting the corpses, and looked up at the western sky, which was dyed red as the sun had already gone down.
“The sky is so red that it comes up once!”

When the news of Cao Cao’s beheading spread everywhere, many of the soldiers who fled returned and surrendered, but some who did not escaped hid into the mountains and became bandits or went to Cao Cao’s sons.
The fireman entrusted Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu with the task of organizing them, and he carried the body of the deceased Cao Cao back to Heo Island, where the emperor was.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”
When the painter raised his bow, Emperor Heon-je nodded.
“I heard that you killed the wicked traitor Cao Cao. It was a lot of work.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“I would like to thank you for your hard work. Do you have anything you want?”
“I just wish for the safety of His Majesty.”
“Heh heh heh, because of the godfather, my heart has never been as calm as it is today. Furthermore, the Hwasaja who governs Seoju reassuringly guarded the imperial kingdom, so much so that the flesh on his face grew like a wolf.”
The painter smiled bitterly at the emperor’s greasy face.
It was a matter of looking at things from a different point of view between just talking and saying things and actually feeling better and gaining weight because my body and mind were at ease.
The current emperor was like a lantern in front of the wind.
If he was asked to hand over the imperial power right away, he would not have the power to refuse.
But how can I feel at ease?
‘Is the country like this because the emperor’s vessel is this much?’
It occurred to me that maybe it wasn’t because of the ten thousand times or the corrupt officials.
The emperor himself might not have been that immature.
“We will dispose of Seung-sang Cho’s body at will and send it to his family.”
“family? Did you save Jo Seung-sang’s family?”
The emperor tilted his head at the fireman’s words.
“I don’t intend to lay a hand on my family because I have a friendship from the past.”
“Even if Father Hua was generous, the family members of Seungsang Cho would not accept it innocently.
“I’m thinking of sending the body away and telling them to leave. If you don’t accept it, you will have to bleed.”
“Hehehe Godfather is really unique in distribution!”
“I didn’t know it before... Now that my situation has changed, I’m starting to see how devastated the lives of the people are! last time it was A mother puts her children in a pot and boils them to eat?”
“yes.”
“I hope that doesn’t happen now.”
“Since His Majesty’s edict banning cannibalism has been issued in counties, counties and counties across the country, the occurrence of people eating people will significantly disappear from now on.”
“If this era continues, how can such a miserable reality disappear with the emperor? In the end, it will disappear only if you don’t go hungry.”
“.....”
“Since ancient times, a benevolent ruler like Godfather Hwa governs the country so that the people can live well.”
“I really have no interest in the throne.”
“Do I have to do something funny, such as I recommend several times in front of my servants and then Godfather refuses one after another?”
“no. I’m not really interested in the throne. So, please delegate the throne to my brother who ruled well in Xuzhou.”
The Emperor looked into the fireman’s eyes with a disbelieving expression, but when the fireman’s eyes were too serious, he shook his head.
“If you’re really serious, I don’t understand!”
“My wish is to heal the sick as a doctor. Please consider the meaning of the small sign.”
“Heh, I knew. If Godfather of Hua refuses even after saying this... I will hand over the imperial power to the Hua company. Please take good care of Hwaja so that he can rule this country well.”
“Your last name is ruined.”
As the painter bowed his head deeply, the emperor smiled bitterly.

“The son of Cao Cao, the Duke of Zhou, came to retrieve his father’s body with an offering.”
Hearing the report from his subordinate, the fireman put on a slightly stunned expression.
Joang was the one who treated the painter directly together with the vanguard.
It’s nice to see it, but it’s a strange evil that can’t be welcome.
“Angi came all the way here? It’s quite a long way, and I would have had to pass through numerous castles...
”
“Ah, that’s how it happened. Okay, go ahead.”
“yes.”
After a while, Joang came in with his men carrying gifts and prostrated himself in front of the fireman.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Uncle.”
“It’s been a while for me too! I haven’t seen you on the battlefield, but are you feeling better?”
“After receiving treatment from my uncle, I feel much better, and now I am able to do various chores.”
“Are you still calling me uncle who killed your father?”
“The relationship between my father and my uncle was ruined because of the cruel world, but I think the friendship between the two of them will never change.”
“It’s a savage world... Yes, maybe we live in a savage world. In fact, I was going to have my subordinates send Joe’s body to you.”
“I think it is the right thing for a child to come and take care of his father’s body.”
“Yes, you are right. Ah, before I kill your father, I have a pact with your father. Will you listen?”
“Tell me.”
“Your father did not want you and your family to die at my hands.”
“.....”
“So I made a pact not to pursue you if you guys ran away to Nangrangguk at the eastern end of Yuju.”
“It’s Nakrang-kun.”
“So, are you thinking of going to Nakrang County?”
In response to the fireman’s question, Joang couldn’t open his mouth for a while with a complicated expression on his face.
