Boss Cao has gone mad with killing; even pigs and donkeys must die.

"The next story is about killing a donkey."

Zhu Dijun's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Everyone's curiosity was piqued.

Especially Zhuge Liang, who had just suffered a setback in the tongue twister, felt a sense of foreboding upon hearing the word "donkey."

Cao Cao, on the other hand, unconsciously straightened his posture.

For some reason, he always felt that this story was related to him.

Above the sky, a new title slowly emerged.

[The Ninth installment of Unofficial Histories of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Choice – Slaughter the Pig First, or the Donkey First?]

"puff--"

Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.

"Cao Cao again? Haha! Has this young man gone against Cao Mengde?" He laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was also amused: "Slaughtering a pig or a donkey? What kind of unofficial history is this? Look at this young man, he's just trying to find ways to ridicule people!"

Meanwhile, in Xuchang, at the Prime Minister's residence.

Cao Cao's face had turned completely black.

really!

It is him again!

He gritted his teeth as he stared at the sky, cursing inwardly, "This young man, once I unify the world, I will dig you out of your grave and whip your corpse three hundred times!"

The AI ​​animation, amidst much anticipation, has begun.

The scene then shifts to a rural courtyard with thatched cottages and a fence, a picturesque pastoral scene.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, and a kind and gentle appearance, was warmly greeting a travel-worn guest.

This guest was none other than Cao Cao in his youth.

"My dear nephew Mengde!" The chibi-style old man, with the words "Lü Boshe" above his head, patted Cao Cao's shoulder warmly. "Your presence at my humble abode is truly an honor!"

"But... my family is poor, and we don't have anything good to offer you right now."

Lu Boshe pointed to a corner of the courtyard.

There, a fat black pig was grunting and rooting around on the ground.

Next to the pigsty, there was a... donkey tied up.

It's the same long-faced donkey from the tongue twister we just heard!

Lu Boshe said with a troubled expression, "There's only one pig and one donkey left at home. Nephew, what do you think? Should I kill the pig first, or the donkey?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

Isn't this just a simple matter of hospitality? What's there to say?

However, Cao Cao, standing before the sky, suddenly narrowed his eyes!

This scene...

He remembers!

This is a scene from when he failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was on the run, staying at Lü Boshe's house!

But... at the time, Lu Boshe only said he was going to buy wine, and he didn't ask anything about slaughtering pigs or donkeys!

This young man is about to start making things up again!

In the image, a chibi version of Cao Cao is touching his chin, lost in thought.

The narrator, with a cheeky grin, explains: "This is a fatal multiple-choice question! It tests not only your taste, but also your intelligence!"

The chibi version of Cao Cao thought to himself: (Donkey meat is delicious, a hundred times better than pork! This is it!)

So he said loudly to Lü Boshe, "Uncle, kill the donkey first!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Boshe clapped his hands and laughed, revealing an extremely eerie smile on his face.

Congratulations, you got it right!

"Because that's what pigs think too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black pig surprisingly nodded in a human-like manner, exhaling two puffs of white breath from its nostrils, as if to say: You know what's good for you!

"???"

Everyone in the myriad realms and timelines was completely dumbfounded.

What... what kind of plot twist is this?

Can pigs think? Can they even reach a consensus with donkeys?

At the Prime Minister's residence in Shu Han, Zhuge Liang saw the donkey and, upon hearing the multiple-choice question, instantly understood what was going on.

His lips twitched uncontrollably.

"Brother... Brother Ziyu..." He covered his face, unable to bear to look anymore.

That young man is too wicked!

He's really taken the "Zhuge Ziyu's donkey" meme to a whole new level!

In the picture, the chibi version of Cao Cao also looks completely bewildered.

Unconvinced, he changed his mind and said, "Then...then let's slaughter the pig first!"

Lu Boshe smiled even more broadly: "Congratulations, you got it right again!"

"Because that's what the donkey thinks too!"

The donkey proudly raised its head, flicked its tail, and its eyes were filled with contempt for Cao Cao.

Now everyone realized what was happening!

"Hahaha! I get it! I get it!"

"It's a setup! No matter which one Cao Cao chooses, this old man will tease him!"

"The pig wants the donkey to die, and the donkey wants the pig to die! So true!"

"I can almost see political enemies attacking each other in the imperial court..."

"The key point is that donkey! It's not an ordinary donkey, it's Zhuge Ziyu's donkey! Hahahaha!"

In Eastern Wu, Sun Quan was laughing so hard he was rolling on the ground.

He pounded the ground while pointing at Zhuge Jin: "Ziyu! Ziyu! Look! Even that traitor Cao knows that between a pig and a donkey, you have to kill the donkey first! Hahahaha!"

Zhuge Jin's old face turned a deep shade of liver, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He feels like vomiting blood whenever he sees the word "donkey".

Cao Cao in Xuchang had a face so dark it could drip water.

He felt that his intelligence was being repeatedly rubbed into the ground by this young man named Zhu Dijun!

He, the mighty Cao Mengde, a hero of his time, was actually tricked by a country old man, a pig, and a donkey.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

On the sky, the story continues.

The smile on the chibi version of Cao Cao's face gradually disappeared.

Looking at Lü Boshe's "kind and amiable" face, he thought to himself: (I don't believe you for a second! You old geezer, you're wicked!)

Suddenly, he smiled slightly, pointed behind Lü Boshe, and said in surprise, "Uncle, look, who's coming over there?"

Lu Boshe turned around instinctively: "Huh? Who is it?"

Just as he turned around!

The chibi version of Cao Cao's eyes suddenly turned icy cold!

He drew the Seven-Star Sword from his waist and swiftly brought it down!

"Pfft!"

A streak of blood shot out.

Lu Boshe's head, filled with astonishment, rolled to the ground.

At that moment, the screen turned black and white.

A chibi-style Cao Cao, holding a blood-dripping sword, stands beside a corpse and speaks slowly in an icy voice:

"It's so noisy."

"After much thought, I'll decide to kill you first."

"That way, the pig, the donkey, and I will all be happy!"

The video ends with a freeze-frame on Cao Cao's face, which is wearing a cold smile.

The narrator concluded in a philosophical tone:

When you can't choose between two options, perhaps you can choose to kill the person who set the question. —A quote from Cao Cao

Dead silence.

After a brief burst of laughter, the entire universe fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden reversal and the overwhelming aura of a powerful and domineering figure!

One second it was a funny comedy.

The next second, it turned into a bloody horror movie!

The contrast is huge!

"So...so cruel!"

The First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, looked at the sky and for the first time revealed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Decisive and ruthless, unconcerned with trivialities! This man possesses the bearing of a tyrant!"

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, nodded in approval: "Indeed, rather than being bound by rules, it's better to break them! This Cao Cao is someone who can achieve great things!"

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his chin and chuckled, "You have some of my former glory! We can't be soft-hearted towards the enemy! Whether they're pigs or donkeys, if they're in the way, just chop them all down!"

Liu Bei of Shu Han was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Brutal! Shameless! Indiscriminate killing of innocent people!"

He pointed at the sky and roared at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him, "Do you see this? This is the true face of that traitor Cao! To protect himself, he even killed his own benefactors and elders! We swear to be his sworn enemies!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked indignant.

Only Cao Cao himself sat there blankly.

He looked at his own cold reflection in the sky, and at the alternative interpretation of the phrase "I would rather betray others than be betrayed by them," and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

This young man...

He was fabricating stories about himself and trying to vilify himself.

But for some reason, he sensed a certain... from this vilification.

What does it feel like to have a soulmate?

It seems he truly understands what's deep within him.

Cao Cao exhaled a long breath, a complex smile appearing on his face. He raised his cup to the sky.

"Young man, you are very good."

"Once I have pacified the world, I will surely drink three hundred cups of wine with you, across time and space!"

At this moment, across countless worlds and timelines, a bizarre and absurd historical account has given rise to an unprecedented, multi-dimensional, and profound understanding of the figure of Cao Cao.

He was both the "father" who would be teased and the ruthless and decisive tyrant.

He was Cao Cao.
