Chapter 449 - Can We Talk?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

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?"

Liu Xie: "I hate Cao Cao and his family. I don't want to see her again."

Tong: "I just kidnapped all Cao Cao's family members, and they are in Ye City right now. Cao Ang has also come with a stupid offer that I should marry Cao Xian and Cao Qinghe, so I won't kill his entire family."

Everybody: "WHAT!?"

The entire chat was thrown into an uproar as all strategists advised Tong to ransom them for Cao Cao's surrender. Many generals also wanted to dispatch their men to attack Cao Cao's territory immediately as they had the upper hand.

Yet, Tong stopped them.

Tong: "I'll ask you again, Liu Xie. Do you want Cao Xian back?"

Liu Xie: "No. You can take her."

Tong: "Is this your final answer?"

Liu Xie: "I don't care. Take her if you want to."

Tong: "Be honest. Do you hate me like you hate Cao Cao, now? I stole your throne, and I'm about to steal your former wife."

Liu Xie: "Do whatever you want. I manage to survive so far, thanks to you. Take her as the repayment of my past debts. But once the election event comes, I won't hold back. I'll snatch that throne right from your ass, fair and square!"

Tong: "I see. Then, do your best. I'll root for you."

.

Liu Xie currently sounded like a rebelling teenager in puberty. Everyone in the clan chat was perplexed by the complication of this family, thinking if Liu Xie and Tong were still sane, especially Sima Yi.

The strategist was reading the chat with interest.

'An incompetent former emperor and a history-changing pedophile. Well, both are dumb in a way that they look so cute. Oh wait, I can't call them dumb since they are doing well by improving the quality of our citizens. No embezzlement, no triads, lessor bandits, and thieves on the outskirts … Heck, no yellow turban!'

Sima Yi stopped snickering and turned his attention to Zhang Wang, an official who served as one of Tong's minor county governors.

Zhang Wang was the father of someone Sima Yi knew well, Zhang Chunhua, aka Sima Yi's future wife.

The little 5-year-old girl was with Zhang Wang as well. She sipped her tea and stuck out her tongue because the tea was too hot.

"Are you sure about this, junior Sima? My daughter is too young to be your wife," Zhang Wang was concerned.

"Ah, don't worry about it. Let's just say I hope that our Sima Clan can get the help of your family and your county. The engagement is my sincerity that I'm willing to tie our bond with you. As for the wedding, I'll wait until she reaches adulthood. I'm not a pedophile like a certain emperor, you know?"

"Uh, well. That's unusual, so please forgive me for my odd manner. If you say so, then I hope for our future cooperation."

"Hahaha. Don't be. I'll be the one who will actually rely on you."

Under the radar, Sima Yi held on to his past relationship. Unlike the others, he would not allow Zhang Chunhua to join Tong's harem and changed the course of history. After all, he still wanted his talented sons, such as Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, back to him.

.

Back at Ye Palace, Tong made his decision.

He took a deep breath and looked at the hostages in his throne room.

"If that relieves you from that stupid misunderstanding, then both of you can join my royal harem as my consorts. I'll ask my men to send your mother some betrothal gifts later."

Cao Ang and everyone was delighted that Tong accepted. On the other hand, Cao Xian and Cao Qinghe looked bitter that they became sacrificial lambs for the sake of their family's survival. The two ladies gave up their fate.

Seeing the two girls' expressions, Tong had another headache.

"You two."

"… Yes, your majesty?"

"From the start, I have no intention of killing Cao Cao or your family. As a matter of fact, I'm trying my best to make him understand that he's no match against me, and he should surrender to me willingly. Then, I can work with him for our country's better future."

"…"

"To be honest, your sacrifice is not actually a sacrifice."

Cao Xian was angered, "Are you looking down on your decision?"

"Wrong," Tong stepped down from his throne and walked toward them, "Let's take it this way. I'm taking your entire family hostage because I'm smitten by the two of you. I desire you to the point that I have to kidnap you here and force you to marry me."

Tong walked to Cao Xian and wrapped his arms around her slim waist, "You didn't sacrifice anything. It's me that is taking advantage of you two."

"Y-You!"

Tong covered his mouth over Cao Xian's and stuck his tongue in.

A naïve girl who never kissed anyone was shocked. She struggled to free herself from Tong, but she was powerless.

After 2 minutes of kissing, Cao Xian was exhausted. Her face reddened as she was embarrassed.

Tong parted his lips from her. Then he turned to Cao Qinghe.

The same kiss happened in front of their family.

After Cao Qinghe almost fainted from the embarrassment and the kiss, Tong turned toward the onlookers and smiled, "Please excuse us."

Six black wings appeared and wrapped around both Cao Xian and Cao Qinghe. Using Lamia's steps, Tong disappeared from the throne room and arrived at his private chamber in a few seconds.

To get the two new consorts in the mood, Tong cast [Lust] curses upon them. What happened afterward was their first wild night.

.

.

A week later, Tong placed a new message scroll in Cao Cao's room at Xuchang palace.

It said,

[Hi, Father-in-law. I slept with your daughters. Can we talk?]
