Cao Cao clenched the seven-star sword in his hand and slowly walked towards Dong Zhuo. Just as he was about to raise the sword, Dong Zhuo suddenly turned over and saw the sword in Cao Cao's hand. He was shocked and said: "Mengde, what are you going to do?" Cao Cao looked at it.
He immediately bowed and said: "Cao Cao got a precious sword the day before yesterday. I know that the Prime Minister loves swords, so I came here to present the sword today!" Dong Zhuo heard this and glanced at Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao's expression was as usual, he took the sword with a smile, took a look, and saw a cold light.
Shining laughed and said: "Mengde, is this the seven-star sword of Wang Yun's family? I hinted to him several times that he wanted this sword, but he didn't give it to me. I didn't expect that he actually gave it to you. It seems that you two have a close relationship!"
"
Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Dong Zhuo. Although he saw that Dong Zhuo was smiling, but his eyes were already flashing with murderous intent, Cao Cao was shocked and quickly clasped his fists and said: "The Prime Minister has misunderstood. This Wang Yun hates me so much, how could he give me the sword?"
! This knife was actually stolen by me, Cao Cao!" "Stolen?" Dong Zhuo had a look of doubt on his face. Cao Cao quickly remembered that it was Wang Yun's birthday that day and went to celebrate his birthday himself. What he encountered in the mansion was the same.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Good at stealing, good at stealing. This old man Wang Yun is really abominable. He treated Meng De like this! Do you want me to deal with him? Give Meng De some vent?" Cao Cao said.
Upon hearing this, he quickly showed a smile on his face and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be so polite between you and me!" After saying this, Dong Zhuo glanced at Cao Cao sideways and said: "But, you also know
This Wang Yun is cunning and cunning, and it will be difficult for me to deal with him if he doesn’t show any clues!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he sneered in his heart. Dong Zhuo would definitely not deal with Wang Yun, because Wang Yun was still useful to him. After all, he also knew that the generals and soldiers in the court had been offended too much. He had to have someone to ease the conflict, and Wang Yun
Yun is the middleman. Although Wang Yun is dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, in Dong Zhuo's eyes, this person is timid and fearful, and does not distinguish between public and private affairs. This kind of person is the most suitable! Cao Cao quickly clasped his fists and said: "This matter can be discussed in the long term, and then we can deal with Wang Yun."
, Meng De also has a way!" Then Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "Okay, since you have a way, then you can solve it yourself. If you have any difficulties, just tell me!" Cao Cao cupped his fists and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister!
"
Dong Zhuo talked to Cao Cao for another conversation, and gradually started to yawn again. Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhuo's eyes were bruised, and knew that this man must have been caused by excessive sexual indulgence last night. He sneered in his heart, and quickly clasped his fists and said
"I think the Prime Minister is also tired, so Cao Cao won't disturb the Prime Minister's rest!" Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Well, you can go down first. When you come over in the afternoon, you can go riding with me!" Cao Cao smiled and said, "Don't you dare?
Do you obey?" He said and exited the study!
Cao Cao walked out of the study and hurried out. He happened to meet Li Ru and Lu Bu outside the door, who were coming in hand in hand. They saw Cao Cao leaving in a hurry and shouted a few times. Cao Cao pretended not to hear and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mounting his horse and leaving, Li Ru was confused, and Lu Bu smiled and said: "What's going on with Mengde? Why is he in such a hurry today? He can't even hear us when we call him. Let's see if I don't speak to him well tomorrow. Is there anything wrong with him?"
What are you hiding from us!"
He said it unintentionally, but it sounded intentional. Li Ru didn't know Cao Cao thoroughly at first. When he saw Cao Cao walking out quickly and saw that the direction he just walked was the study, his expression changed greatly. He quickly pulled Lu Bu towards the study and entered.
In the study, Dong Zhuo was seen sitting on the couch, holding a knife in his hand and looking at it carefully. Then Li Ru felt relieved. Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru coming in and breathing heavily, so he asked: "Wen You, why are you like this?"
Urgent, what happened?" Li Ru shook his head and said: "Master, did Cao Cao come here just now?" Dong Zhuo showed a smile on his face and said: "Yes, he just brought me a sword!" He raised the sword.
When he got up, Li Ru took a look and his expression changed drastically, "My lord, this Cao Cao is not offering a sword, he is trying to kill you, my lord!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, there was a look of disbelief on his face. He waved his hand and said: "Wen You, don't talk nonsense. Meng De and I have known each other for a long time. Besides, I have never treated him badly. How could he come to kill me?"
?" Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't believe it, Li Ru sighed and said, "My lord, does the sword offered by Cao Cao have a scabbard?" Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "No? But this doesn't mean that Cao Cao wants to kill me!"
Li Ru shook his head and said: "My lord, how can I offer a sword without offering a scabbard? Besides, my lord has entered Luoyang, but Cao Cao has no family members in his house. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo still didn't believe what he said, so he bowed and said: "My lord, if you don't believe it, you can ask Feng to go to Cao Cao's mansion first and have a look. If Cao Cao really comes to offer the sword, he will definitely be there.
If he is not in the house or has escaped, it means that he is here to assassinate the lord!" Seeing that Li Ru thought that Cao Cao wanted to kill him, Dong Zhuo also showed a trace of doubt on his face. He also remembered that he had just seen Cao Cao holding the handle of the knife, and he felt sorry for him in his heart.
Cao Cao became suspicious, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Feng Xian, you go and see if Cao Cao is in the house. If he is, tell me that I will ask him to have a meal. If not, you go quickly."
Come and report!" Lu Bu cupped his fists and said, "No!" and withdrew!
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Bu had returned, "Father, Cao Cao's man is no longer here, and not a single servant can be seen in the mansion. It is obviously an empty mansion!" Lu Bu reported to Dong Zhuo as soon as he entered the house, and Dong Zhuo heard it.
, he made a "bang" sound, inserted the knife in his hand on the couch, and said angrily: "Cao Ah Man, I trust you so much, how dare you assassinate me, please lead someone to chase me, and you must bring him back alive.
I want to cut off his flesh with my own hands and feed it to the hunting dogs!" Upon hearing this, Lu Bu quickly accepted the order and left!
As soon as Lu Bu left, Li Ru hurriedly said: "My lord, this Cao Cao is really hateful and has wasted my lord's trust. Why don't we issue an edict in the name of the emperor and let the states and counties capture Cao Cao!" Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, that's it.
According to your wishes!" Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru also retreating and glanced at the sword on the bed again. He remembered that the sword belonged to Wang Yun. Since Cao Cao came to kill him, he must have said what Cao Cao said before.
He was lying to himself, and he was filled with hatred that Wang Yun was actually on the same side as Cao Cao. He shouted loudly: "Come here, tell General Niu to mobilize the troops and horses, and listen to my orders!"
More than a thousand Xiliang soldiers had already gathered outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of them exuding murderous intent. These were Dong Zhuo's soldiers who fought in hundreds of battles. Although he lost the battle against the Yellow Turbans, he relied on the Qiang people in Xiliang to build this army.
A brave soldier, he glanced at his sergeant with satisfaction, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Let's go to Wang Yun's Situ Mansion!"
