Chapter 449 – Can We Talk?

Ye Palace

Tong was exhausted, flying back and forth between Ye and Xuchang as he kidnapped Cao Cao's family here.

Cao Cao's 4 wives, his sons, and daughters gathered in the throne room to receive their judgment as all officials gathered to be the witness of this occasion.

Tong looked at them and massaged his head, having a headache, ”I won't kill any of you. From now on, Cao Ang will take care of you until Cao Mengde gives me the response. Well, if he mobilizes his forces before he gives me the answer, it means that he abandons you.”

20 Prisoners in the room were shaken in fear.

Cao Ang rushed to the throne room when he heard that Tong summoned him. When he saw his relatives and his mother, Lady Liu, he was surprised.

”Y-Your Majesty, what has happened?”

”Your father attempted to kill Zhang Min, so I've kidnapped your mothers, your brothers, and your sisters here.”

Cao Ang was panic as he thought that Tong would kill everyone. He knelt and begged Tong, ”Please don't kill them! You can kill me, but please spare them! They have nothing to do with our conflicts!”

”Eh,” Tong waved his hand, ”I never plan to kill anyone. I call you here to shelter them in your courtyard. You're a palace guard commander, so your annual stipend should be able to support these people, right? From now on, they are your people. Protect them.”

”Y-Yes, your majesty!”

Cao Ang thought that his family was a goner. He kowtowed to Tong and was about to guide everyone to his mansion.

However, he was afraid that Tong might still slaughter everyone later had his father chose hegemony over his family members. He came up with a plan to ensure all Cao Clan's safety.

He turned toward his two sisters, Cao Qinghe and Cao Xian.

Cao Qinghe was Cao Ang's sister with the same mother, Lady Liu. In her 18, she inherited her mother's beauty and manner as she was raised as a princess of the clan. Meanwhile, Cao Xian was another sister from a different mother, who Cao Ang was not familiar with. She's 16 this year.

In history, Cao Qinghe married Xiahou Dun's son, Xiahou Mao. As for Cao Xian, she was wedded to Liu Xie as a bribe to control the imperial court.

Yet, in this world, both of them were currently young girls, whom Cao Cao had not given them to anyone.

With his intelligence and his experience in Ye for years, Cao Ang understood Tong's personality and his traits. He came up with a plan without consulting with anyone.

”Your majesty, before I take them to my resident, I want to introduce two sisters of mine.”

Cao Ang patted Cao Xian and Cao Qinghe, gestured them with his sad look that they might have to sacrifice their purity for their family.

Their mothers understood the gesture right away. They whispered their daughters about what Cao Ang was trying to do.

The two daughters of Cao Cao were shocked.

”What!? We have to … do that?”

”I'm sorry. The situation is currently not in favor of our family. Father will likely abandon us, so we have to do it.”

Cao Xian was braver than Cao Qinghe. She stood up and looked at Tong.

”Your majesty. My maiden name is Xian, the second daughter of Cao Cao. Will you spare my brothers, sisters, and my mothers? I will give you everything you desire, including my body, so please spare them.”

Cao Qinghe realized what was going on. She also stood up and walked forward, ”You can also have me. Please spare my family!”

Tong widened his eyes and looked at the development in shock.

”What dafuq!? Cao Zixiu! What the hell are you thinking!? Do you think I'll kill you, so you'll bribe me with your sisters!? Who do you think I am!?”

Cao Ang gritted his teeth and confronted Tong, ”Your majesty. I know my father very well. He's a person who treasures his family, yet he can abandon us for the bigger picture. You kidnapped them to threaten my father, right? I think he will not yield easily and force you to kill everyone to soil your reputation. In my opinion, he will exploit this event and propaganda about this family execution about being unfair. Then, he will use this reason to mobilize his people to wage war against you in the open!”

He went all out to save his family even though his father's potential plan might be ruined.

Cao Ang's insight and courage froze Tong on his track. It made Tong reconsider his options.

Still, Tong was confused about why Cao Ang jumped the gun.

'I never planned to kill anyone in the first place. Why are they panicking? At best, I'll just change their name and have them live under my wings peacefully. What the hell?'

Tong turned toward the girls and opened his mouth, thinking about declining their offer.

Looking at the princesses, Tong paused as another perverted idea came to his mind.

He messaged to Friday and Medusa right away.

Tong: ”@Dong Bai, @Diaochan, My dear moms, requesting permission to add two new members to my harem.”

Everyone: ”…”

My dear moms?

He called his wives, moms!?

Everyone was speechless.

Dong Bai: ”It doesn't matter. Fuck them to your heart content, but you have to take care of our sons.”

Diaochan: ”Take care of your kidneys, too. When the war is over, we will monopolize you later.”

Tong clenched his fist as his two main wives gave their permission so easily. However, there was a conflict about Cao Xian.

'I wonder if Liu Xie will be alright if I steal his former wife. He should have obtained his past memory of his emperor's life right now.'

Tong: ”Liu Xie. Are you there?”

Liu Xie: ”Yes, your majesty?”

Tong: ”Do you remember Cao Xian?”

Liu Xie: ”… Yes. She's my first wife in my previous life.”

Tong: ”Do you want to marry her again?”
