    "Do a good job."

    Cao Cao encouraged Sima Lang and said, "It's a pity that you left, and I lack a good helper by my side."

    Hearing Cao Cao's sigh, Sima Lang's heart moved. He thought of his younger brother Sima Yi who was doing nothing at home. He thought about it and recommended his younger brother to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, I have a younger brother who is a hundred times more intelligent than me."

    "Oh? Is it true?"

    Cao Cao suffered a lot at the hands of Liu Zhe, and even the importance of talent. Now that he heard that Sima Lang actually had a younger brother who was better than him, Cao Cao was immediately excited.

    "In that case, Boda, when you go back, ask your brother to come see Gu."

    "Yes!" Sima Lang agreed.

    Then when Sima Lang went home that night, he told Sima Yi about it.

    "Brother, you, how could you do this?"

    After Sima Yi heard this, he was anxious and angry, and said, "Why don't you discuss it with your younger brother?"

    "What's the problem? You are so talented, do you just want to do nothing at home?" Sima Lang asked strangely.

    "Brother, the imperial court's national destiny has declined, and it may not be that good to follow Cao Cao any longer."

    Sima Yi became anxious and called Cao Cao by his name. He said: "If the imperial court is destroyed, there is no guarantee that Cao Cao will be killed as prime minister. If I follow him, won't I be buried with him? So I don't want to work under him."

    "What should we do?"

    Sima Lang did not force his brother, he said: "I have already boasted in front of the prime minister."

    "Don't worry, brother, I'm just pretending to be sick."

    Sima Yi said: "Go and reply to Cao Cao, saying that I am ill and cannot serve as an official."

    ¡°Then, that¡¯s all we can do.¡± Sima Lang nodded.  He responded to Cao Cao the next day.

    But who is Cao Cao?

    Sima Lang was still recommending his younger brother the day before, but the next day he said that his younger brother was sick and could not serve as an official. Isn't this treating him like a fool?

    "Is it true?" Cao Cao sneered and stared at Sima Lang.

    "Yes, it is."

    Sima Lang had to bite the bullet and answer, "Prime Minister, just send someone to check."

    "This guy will naturally do it"

    Sima Lang felt depressed. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao would actually send someone to his home.

    Sima Yi is eating well and drinking well at home now. He is lively and energetic. If Cao Cao sends someone to check and find out that Sima Yi is not sick, then he, Sima Lang, will be killed by Cao Cao.

    So all day long, Sima Lang was absent-minded and spent the day in a daze. As soon as he got home in the evening, he immediately told Sima Yi that Cao Cao was going to send someone to investigate.

    "Brother, don't panic."

    After hearing this, Sima Yi calmly said: "He sent someone here, wouldn't I pretend to be sick? Just feel at ease."

    "Zhongda, why don't you become an official?"

    Sima Lang doesn¡¯t want to cause trouble. Cao Cao is not easy to mess with. If Cao Cao gets angry with him, he will have something to wear in the future.

    "Brother, don't worry."

    Sima Yi said confidently: "Cao Cao can't do anything to me. What's more, if he wants me to serve as an official, how can he do it without some skills?"

    "What if he gets angry and becomes ruthless?" Sima Lang asked.

    "Brother, you can rest assured."

    Sima Yi said more confidently: "Cao Cao doesn't know how. He is not Liu Zhe, so he doesn't dare to do this."

    "Why?" Sima Lang was surprised.

    ¡°Brother, think about Cao Cao¡¯s origins.¡±

    Sima Yi said: "He is also from a big family. The Cao clan and the Xiahou clan are both big clans. If he dares to be cruel to big families like us, he will die faster than Liu Zhe."

    "I hope so." Sima Lang knew that his younger brother was smart, so he could only let him go.

    As expected, two days later, Cao Cao sent someone to express condolences to Sima Yi.

    Sima Yi immediately lay on the bed, motionless, pretending to be sick.

    "Envoy, you see, my second son is suffering from wind paralysis. He is very painful. He can only lie in bed all day long. It is difficult to even get up." The housekeeper of the Sima family said to the man sent by Cao Cao.

    The people sent by Cao Cao couldn't find any clues, so they had no choice but to go back and report to Cao Cao truthfully.

    How could Cao Cao believe it, so he once again sent his confidants to spy.

    Cao Cao¡¯s confidants received Cao Cao¡¯s instructions and immediatelyI sat in Sima Yi's room all day and watched carefully.  Sima Yi's patience and endurance were very strong, and he could stay still for a whole day. His servants helped him eat, drink, and defecate.

    In this way, Cao Cao's confidants could not see anything, and in the end they could only go back in despair and tell Cao Cao that Sima Yi was really sick.

    Cao Cao was depressed. Two of his subordinates sent out in succession said that Sima Yi was ill. Although he didn't fully believe it, he was also half-convinced.  In addition, he was busy with official duties, so he put aside the matter of recruiting Sima Yi for the time being.

    Being busy with official duties, Cao Cao gradually forgot about Sima Yi, but a few months later, someone suddenly told Cao Cao that he saw Sima Yi on the street.

    "What?"

    Cao Cao was furious and said, "Don't he have wind paralysis and can't move? How come he still has the heart to run outside?"

    At that moment, Cao Cao called Sima Lang back from Chenggao, scolded Sima Lang severely, and ordered him to go back and ask Sima Yi to report for duty.

    That night, Sima Lang went home depressed, with Cao Cao's drool on his face, and told Sima Yi what had happened.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
