"How are you, are you ready?" Wei Xu's voice sounded in the dark corner.

"Well, the soldiers on the east city wall are all under the control of my personal guards. Hou Cheng, what about you?" Song Xian said first.

"The same goes for the west wall." Hou Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Wei Xu's eyes flashed: "The northern city wall is now completely under my control. In this way, we only need to control Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and we can directly welcome Duke Cao's arrival."

Hou Cheng looked at the slowly sinking seawater under the city and the gradually exposed ground, and said softly: "The time given to us by Duke Cao is running out. Before the seawater recedes completely, we must capture Lu Bu and others. Why not do it now?"

Act late!”

Wei Xu nodded slightly: "Lü Bu should have fallen asleep drunk under Wang's service. Chen Gong should be handling government affairs at this time. It is the time for us to take action. Song Xian, you send a team of soldiers to go forward.

Go and tie up Chen Gongmi with poison. Hou Cheng, you also dispatch a team of soldiers to deal with Lu Bu with the three of us."

"Okay!" Song Xian and Hou Cheng nodded in unison. They and their subordinates knew Lu Bu's terror best. Even without the Red Rabbit Horse and Fang Tian Huaji, they couldn't deal with it. Fortunately, Lu Bu was already dizzy at this time.

After being tied up, he could still be restrained even if dozens of people pressed him down. After all, Lu Bu's strength was not as strong as Xiang Yu's.

However, they who were discussing the seller inside the house did not know that in the corner outside the house, a lifeless figure like a stone suddenly opened its eyes. However, the surrounding Wei Xu soldiers who were guarding the place turned a blind eye to it, as if

He didn't see anything. The figure lurking outside the house slowly retreated along the blind spot in the sight of the soldiers, preparing to inform Chen Gong of the matter.

In the temporary government affairs hall of the south city wall, Chen Gong was handling government affairs here as Wei Xu expected. Since the south city wall was Cao Mengde's main attack direction, in order to respond promptly, both Lu Bu and Chen Gong were stationed here. These days, the city is

The water level gradually dropped, and it was expected that the sea water would completely recede within a day. Chen Gong was overjoyed about this, but also full of vigilance, because he knew that Cao Cao's actions were definitely not out of kindness, but had a back-up plan.

As he thought, water warfare was not what Cao Cao was good at, and he was far inferior to Gan Ning's navy. Moreover, Gan Ning's navy moved extremely fast. If the dug coast was not blocked, it would be easy for Gan Ning to take advantage of him.

After Gan Ning and others who were wandering near the coastline discovered this, Zhou Yu quickly realized that Cao Cao might be taking action. He had already secretly joined Zhao Yun with the help of Gan Ning's navy and led 5,000 cavalry to a coast and disembarked.

Prepared to rescue Lu Bu. However, because Cao Cao's spies near Huang County were too dense, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun did not dare to get too close.

While Chen Gong was concentrating on handling government affairs, the spy who had just been eavesdropping outside Wei Xu and others' house quietly climbed in through the window and knelt down in front of Chen Gong.

Seeing the person in front of him, Chen Gong put down the pen and paper in his hand with a heavy expression, and said slowly: "Have they really taken this step?"

The person below nodded slightly and whispered: "Wei Xu, Song Xian and Hou Cheng are preparing to start an uprising tonight."

Chen Gong sighed softly and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Inform the lord, Wei Xu and others have rebelled, and we can prepare to close the net."

"yes!"

After the person in front of him left, Chen Gong turned around and looked at the letter placed beside the table. His expression was incomprehensible and he murmured with a hint of shame: "My lord, don't blame me for choosing for you. Cao Mengde is not the master of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what

No matter what, I will try my best to save your life!"

After the spies gave orders to Chen Gong, they avoided all the soldiers and rushed directly to the tower where Lu Bu was.

In the city tower, Lu Bu did not drink and have fun as usual. Although he was still enjoying Wang's dancing to the music, the wine glass on the table was not moved at all. When he saw the spies appearing in the room, Lu Bu's face suddenly turned ugly and his tone was difficult.

Said: "Is he serious?"

The spy nodded, and then said: "Master, do you need verification?"

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, Chen Gongtai never deceived me, so what's the point of further verification?"

When Chen Gong told him a few days ago that Wei Xu had colluded with Cao Cao to plot rebellion, Lu Bu was full of disbelief. Because Wei Xu was the person he trusted and treated most favorably, he was wary of all the generals because of his suspicion.

He had no doubts about this brother-in-law, and he relied on him to be used in important ways. Even if he was incompetent, he took more care of him and placed him above all the generals. But now, the person who took the lead in betraying him was precisely the person he had the least suspicion about.

But it was impossible for Lu Bu not to believe it, because he believed in Chen Gong's character more than Wei Xu. Chen Gong never lied, and even in that situation, Chen Gong did not allow himself to immediately take Wei Xu to task.

Instead, he said that he had no solid evidence yet, and asked Lu Bu to wait for a while, and then Lu Bu would verify it himself.

Originally, according to Chen Gong's plan, Lu Bu should put on a show at this time, pretending to be drunk, and see if Wei Xu and others would come with swords and ropes. As long as Lu Bu was prepared, let alone Wei Xu and others.

, even if there are thousands of soldiers together, they can still be easily defeated.

But now that things have happened, Lu Bu has lost all desire to verify. He is unwilling to deceive himself and others anymore.

"Let's go!" Lu Bu's majestic body slowly stood up, took the Fangtian Painted Halberd on the shelf on the right side in his hand, and walked out gently.

Wang, who was dancing gracefully, looked panic-stricken at this time, and secretly winked at the accompanying maids beside her. The maid understood and sneaked out secretly. These accompanying maids were all sent to serve by Wang Yun when Wang married.

, are all proficient in music theory and dance, and are loyal to the Wang family.

After the maid went out, she saw her walking to a remote corner of the city wall. There was a guard who seemed to be lazy. When she saw the maid's arrival, she looked shocked. After some words between the two sides, the guard immediately picked up his body.

With the bow and arrow behind him, he ignited the flammable material on the arrow, and then shot it into the sky with force. In the dim night sky, a small flame suddenly flashed across, making it look so conspicuous.

Wei Xu, who was in the city and was coming to the north wall with his guards, and Cao Cao, who was outside the city looking at Huang County, saw this, and their expressions changed.

After the archer shot the fire arrow and saw it streaking across the night sky, he was slightly relieved. But then his body suddenly stiffened and his face showed cold sweat, because at some point, he was surrounded by soldiers. Chen Gongzheng was behind the soldiers.

He looked at him and the maid beside him who was also panicking with a sneer.

"Arrest these two people and interrogate them severely!" Chen Gong said coldly with an expressionless face.
