() Gently hiding the scabbard under the table, Cao Cao moved towards Dong Zhuo, who was sleeping soundly.
A sword light flashed, and a bright light flashed on the mirror. Dong Zhuo felt his eyes flash, and he stood up. He was in a high position. Dong Zhuo's consciousness did not decrease at all. When he saw Cao Cao coming with a sword, he shouted: "Meng De,
What do you mean?"
Cao Cao wanted to draw his sword and go up to fight Dong Zhuo, but looking at Dong Zhuo's broad body and recalling his superb martial arts, he sighed deeply and said, "Sir, I got a sword by chance in my lowly position, and I came here to offer it to you."
To your lord."
Dong Zhuo, who had just woken up, did not think about assassinating Cao Cao. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and said, "Bring it up." Cao Cao handed over the Yitian Sword respectfully.
The soldiers outside the door heard Dong Zhuo's shouting and broke in with swords and guns without Dong Zhuo's permission.
Dong Zhuo waved his hand to signal these soldiers to go down, carefully looked at the sword handed over by Cao Cao, and praised: "It is indeed a good sword, but why doesn't it have a scabbard?"
Cao Cao explained: "I didn't even know about this even though I was in a humble position. I looked like this when I got it."
Dong Zhuo said: "I understand Meng De's kindness. I will not treat you badly. There are not many people in the court who are as talented and practical as Meng De."
Cao Cao repeatedly said yes.
"Sir, if there is nothing to do, I will resign first because of my humble position." Cao Cao bowed.
Dong Zhuo bowed his hands and said, "Go back." Although he felt that Cao Cao's behavior today was a bit strange, he couldn't find what it was.
After leaving Dong Zhuo's bedroom, Cao Cao hurried out of the house. With Dong Zhuo's character, if he was aware of his assassination intention, he would never be lenient.
"Mengde, where are you going in a hurry?" Li urged and came holding the war horse.
Cao Cao was startled, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said calmly: "I just met Mr. Taiwei, and he is about to return home."
Li Jie didn't feel anything unusual, and said with a smile: "Mengde, this war horse is the best one among the horses brought this time, so I gave it to Mengde." Thinking of Li Ru's words in his ear just before the day.
After teaching, Li Ji reluctantly handed the reins of the horse to Cao Cao. Even among Dong's army, such a war horse was a rare good thing.
Cao Cao was secretly happy, he couldn't delay his escape from Luoyang for a moment, but without making a sound, Li urged the horse's reins in his hand and said, "How about I try this war horse first?"
Li Ji hurriedly stepped forward and put Cao Cao on the horse. The horse was not fully assembled and did not even have the most basic saddle, so he was brought over by Li Ji.
After saying this, Cao Cao got on his horse and rode away.
Li Ji laughed and walked towards the mansion.
"General, your Excellency invites you." A guard from the Taiwei Mansion walked up to Li Cui and said.
Li Ji heard this and hurried to Dong Zhuo's bedroom under the leadership of his guards.
"Do you recognize this sword?" Dong Zhuo waved the Heavenly Sword gently and asked. After Cao Cao left, Dong Zhuo felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it. How could a sword have no scabbard?
Li Ji looked at it carefully and bowed: "This sword was brought by Cao Mengde. Mengde saw it once when he entered the mansion just now, so he has some impressions."
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "See how this sword is different from the ones you saw before."
Li Ji thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed a difference. When I saw it before, this sword had a scabbard."
Dong Zhuo was shocked and asked, "Can you see clearly?"
Li Ji nodded and said: "I'm sure you will be humble."
Dong Zhuo violently threw the Yitian Sword aside and cursed: "What a Cao Mengde, how dare you assassinate me."
Li Ji's demeanor changed drastically. Thinking of the possible consequences of this matter, he broke into a cold sweat and knelt down and said: "My lord, you are humble and incompetent."
Dong Zhuo said: "I don't blame you for this, it's because I trust Cao Mengde too much." Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo felt very sad. The person he wanted to win over actually wanted to assassinate him.
"Go down with the order. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find the scabbard of this sword." Dong Zhuo shouted, "Go and bring Cao Mengde here."
Li Jiu took the order and left, and the entire Taiwei Mansion instantly moved. There was no need for his servants to search for it. Dong Zhuo found the scabbard under the table, and it was just right to bring the Yitian Sword, which strengthened the idea that Cao Cao was here to assassinate.
.
Let's say that Cao Cao slapped his horse on the back and headed out of the city. When he was still some distance away from the city gate, a cavalry of fifty people appeared in front of him. Cao Cao secretly screamed.
Looking at the posture of this cavalry, it was obvious that they were coming towards him. Remembering that there were too many loopholes in the panic of the Taiwei Mansion, Cao Cao became even more panicked. If you can't go through this city gate, you can go to another one. Anyway, Luoyang's
There are twelve city gates.
Just as Cao Cao turned around and left, a loud shout came: "Mengde, where are you going?"
Cao Cao felt guilty and almost fled immediately.
"I see Mengde is in such a panic, where are he going?" Jia Rong rode his horse and came slowly.
Cao Cao forced out a smile and said: "Zhiyuan, I have something to do when I leave the city on the order of the Grand Master, why are you so panicked?"
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Meng De doesn't want to hide it from me. If the grand master sends Meng De out of the city, how can there be no soldiers accompanying him? Meng De also
He is a popular figure in front of the Grand Master, and Meng De’s war horse is also a bareback horse, so how can he go far away."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Zhiyuan, don't make fun of me. I really have important things to do when I leave the city. I can't delay it. I will definitely invite Zhiyuan to drink in the city later."
Jia Rong stared at Cao Cao without saying a word, for fear of missing something. After a long time, he sighed: "Mengde, let's go. I hope that next time we meet, we won't be at war with each other, and you and I can still get together and drink wine."
Yan Huan." Cao Cao was the subject of close attention by the lone wolf soldiers. When Cao Cao entered the Grand Master's Mansion with his sword, Jia Rong had already received the news and came in person to see him off.
Cao Cao was shocked and realized that Jia Rong had discovered some clues. He saluted Jia Rong Changji on horseback and said, "If we meet in the future, we will definitely repay our great kindness and kindness."
Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "Mengde doesn't need to be so polite. You and I are our brothers. It's my great fortune to get to know a great man like Mengde. I hope I can have a good time with Mengde again."
"I'll have a detailed talk with Zhiyuan in the day, and I'll take my leave." Cao Cao bowed his hands and bowed, without delay, Dong Zhuo's pursuit team might arrive soon.
Jia Rong said: "Meng De, wait a minute."
"How can a horse go far without a saddle? Come and bring a group of horses to Meng De."
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with tears, and all the emotions were deeply buried in his heart. He was already sure that Jia Rong knew about his assassination.
"Mengde, you go alone. There are many eyes and ears of Dong Zhuo in the city. If I send Mengde outside the city, it will arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicion." Jia Rong said with cupped hands.
Cao Cao nodded firmly and slapped the horse's belly suddenly. The horse was frightened and galloped towards the city gate.
"I reported to the Grand Master that Cao Mengde had left the city. He claimed that it was the Grand Master's oral instruction. The soldiers guarding the city gate let him go. By the time the humble army arrived, he had already left." Li Ji knelt down on one knee and worshiped.
Dong Zhuo was furious. In this way, Cao Cao's assassination of him was completed. Thinking of the trust and promotion he had given Cao Cao in the past, Dong Zhuo became angry.
"You lead an army of one hundred flying bears to hunt down Cao Cao and send orders to all counties. If anyone discovers Cao Cao and reports it, he will be promoted to one rank. If Cao Cao is caught, he will be made a marquis and rewarded with thousands of gold coins." Dong Zhuo was also angry, and the only one
He was a respected member of a family, but he turned around and assassinated him.
Li Ji walked out confidently. The Flying Bear Army was the most elite soldier in Dong Zhuo's army. Cao Cao was riding a bareback horse just brought from the army and could not go far at all.
"Xian son-in-law, you are responsible for checking who Cao Cao has been close to recently. These ministers are itching."
Li Ru bowed to his promise and left in a hurry. The assassination was of great importance.
"To report to the Grand Master, someone saw Jia Rong and Cao Cao meeting in the city and chatting for a long time. Moreover, Jia Rong also gave Cao Cao a war horse." Li Su did not dare to neglect after receiving the news and hurried over.
Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly, a ray of light flashed from his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Jia Rong, you bullied me too much. I have written this down. Pay attention to Jia Rong's movements. Maybe you will assassinate me this time."
It has something to do with him."
Li Su bowed and agreed, secretly glad that Li Ru was not here. Where there was Li Ru, Li Su had no right to speak and could only be Li Ru's follower. Suddenly being awarded an important task, Li Su felt full of energy all over his body.
Got fighting spirit.
Jia Rong and his party headed in the direction of Situ's Mansion. Needless to say, Wang Yun was also involved in this matter. He just took the opportunity to take a look at the other of the two jade stones in Situ's Mansion.
"General Jia, my master said he is not feeling well and is not seeing guests." The manager of Situ's mansion walked out of the mansion after a long time and said with an apologetic look.
When the soldiers of the Xiliang Army heard the words of the Chief Situ Mansion, they all looked at each other angrily. Jia Rong was a hussar general of the Han Dynasty. Even Wang Yun did not dare to be arrogant in front of Jia Rong.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If you go and tell Mr. Wang, just say that Meng De just fled outside the city."
After a moment, the manager came out of the house again, saluted and said, "General Jia, my lord has invited me."
Jia Rong handed the war horse to the soldiers behind him and followed the steward into Situ Mansion. Behind him, Zhang Zhi and Zhao Yun hurriedly followed. This was not the Xiliang Army. Anything could happen. Two soldiers were left to guard the war horses, and the rest of the soldiers filed in.
After entering, the Situ Mansion was tightly guarded, and all the irrelevant persons were blown away, and the guests were the main ones.
When the manager saw this, although his expression was not kind, he did not dare to speak. Wang Yun was shocked when he heard the news he reported just now, knowing that Jia Rong's purpose of coming was definitely not simple.
"Master Situ!" Jia Rong bowed respectfully.
Wang Yun stood up in a hurry and said, "You're welcome, General Jia. Please take a seat quickly." Nowadays, Dong Zhuo and Jia Rong rule Luoyang City. Wang Yun excused himself from illness in order not to arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicion.
Seeing the kind-faced old man sitting upright, it was difficult for Jia Rong to connect him with Dong Zhuo's assassin.
Wang Yun took the lead to break the peaceful atmosphere and asked: "General Jia, I heard from the housekeeper in the mansion that you hurried out of the city when you saw Meng De."
Jia Rong said: "That's exactly it."
The more red tickets you collect, the better. These things are the driving force for the cliff update. You all work together to push the iron cavalry up. It is already eleventh, and it will rush to the classification list soon.
