When Cao Cao heard Ying Yuan's order, he was immediately stunned.
What do you mean?
It would be fine if you didn't let Guo Kai return to his country, but why did you let him stay in Jin?
Give him back the money?
What's this routine?
Cao Cao really couldn't understand.
But he did not dare to disobey Ying Yuan's order.
He had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Revenue to announce the decree.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Revenue and sent someone away with 10,000 taels of gold.
After thinking about it, he went to the Jinyiwei Yamen and met Ji Gang.
Cao Cao said to him, "This ten thousand taels of gold is a gift from your majesty to Guo Kai. This letter contains your majesty's original words to Guo Kai."
"I thought to myself, since Your Majesty wants to give money to Guo Kai, then the State of Jin must not know about it, otherwise the money will definitely not fall into Guo Kai's hands."
"But after much thought, I realized that only you, the Jinyiwei, could secretly deliver this money to Guo Kai without being discovered by the Jin State."
Ji Gang looked at the boxes of gold with a sad expression on his face. He murmured, "Prime Minister, you have given me a good job!"
It was normal for him to not help but complain. After all, ten thousand taels of gold was not a small amount, and it had to be delivered to Guo Kai safely and without being noticed by the State of Jin.
It is indeed a bit difficult.
Cao Cao was also quite helpless and said: "This is not what I mean, but what Your Majesty means!"
Ji Gang nodded, "Please tell His Majesty that I will complete the mission at all costs!"
Cao Cao praised him, saying, "A hero is known in times of turmoil. It is time for you, the Jinyiwei, to show your talents."
After he left.
Ji Gang then gathered all the masters of the Jinyiwei.
Lu Wenzhao, Chen Lian, Qinglong and others jointly took on this task.
As for Ding Baiying, now, like Jing Ke and Nie Yinniang, she is in the palace closely protecting Ying Yuan's safety.
They can be considered as palace guards, but their status is higher than that of ordinary palace guards.

Wu State.
Jingzhao Prefecture.
Royal Palace.
Wu Meiniang's father, Wu Shihuo, and all the Wu family members were kneeling in front of a palace called "Ziwei Palace".
Inside the hall.
Wu Hua, who is seriously ill and dying, has fallen into a coma.
I don’t know how long it took.
Wu Hua suddenly woke up, coughed twice, and called Wu Shigui and his daughter Wu Meiniang over.
The two of them looked at Wu Hua's shriveled body and gloomy eyes, and for a moment, they felt tormented in their hearts.
Wu Hua snuggled on the bed, took a sip of the medicine, and vomited it out as soon as it entered his stomach.
Seeing this, Wu Meiniang wanted to step forward to help, but was rejected by Wu Hua. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Grandpa... Grandpa is old..."
"I can't even drink some soup."
At this point, Wu Hua coughed twice, and after a long pause, his expression finally calmed down. He continued:
"Grandpa has built such a huge business in his lifetime. He has no regrets in his death. I think his name will go down in history."
"But, Grandpa is only worried about you and your father..."
