The forgiveness of the goddess of dawn is known as freezing all things;
Roar of the Phoenix - Vulcan Wings Slash, known as burning the sky and destroying the world!
The combination of Aquarius and Phoenix, the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire, I am the ice and fire phoenix!
The three realms are free, flowing freely, fluttering their wings to reach the sky!
On the west bank of the river, Tian Yu could see clearly.
When Cao Peng was rescued from the water and put on the boat, he breathed a sigh of relief. But then, Tian Yu became furious.
He knew very well the importance of Cao Peng in Cao Cao's heart. Let Cao Peng accompany him on this mission. To be honest, Cao Cao gave Cao Peng a buffer opportunity. Appoint him directly? He would definitely encounter resistance from the veterans of the Han Dynasty. Even if Cao Peng could be allowed to
If he becomes an official, then the sanctions against Fu Wan must be lifted accordingly. Cao Cao is not worried about Fu Wan, he is worried that the royalists will take the opportunity to cause trouble and cause trouble. The situation is now very good, and the reunification of Hebei is imminent. Cao Cao really does not want that
Again, some obstacles hindered the great cause of unifying the north. Therefore, Cao Peng took the initiative to send an envoy to the north of Saibei.
When Cao Peng was on an envoy mission, just returning smoothly would be a great achievement.
With this achievement, Cao Cao had a sufficient excuse. Tian Yu knew that if something happened to Cao Peng in Saibei, even if he returned to Xudu, he would be greeted by Cao Cao's thunderous wrath. But he didn't expect that it was still a close call.
Something happened! He immediately ordered his soldiers to search along the river to find the whereabouts of the assassin. When Liu Guang's boat docked, Tian Yu's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water. He even ignored Liu Guang and walked to the ferry.
wait.
In the distance, Wang Shuang's ferry is approaching the ferry.
"Hold the camp, no one is allowed in or out today!"
Liu Guang ignored Tian Yu's attitude at all and immediately issued the order after getting off the boat.
He is an envoy, so he is naturally qualified to give orders. At least in name, everyone, including Cao Peng and Tian Yu, is under his control.
At the gate of the camp, Liu Guang stopped.
He turned his head and glanced at the ferry that had arrived at the ferry, and sighed secretly: Youxue, you and I both know that sooner or later we will turn against each other. But I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly... I'm sorry, I will definitely get rid of you.
A flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

When Cao Peng stepped off the ferry, he looked very weak.
There seemed to be no obvious external injuries on his body, but in fact, Leng Fei's sword hit his chest. Although he was protected by armor, he was still injured by the dark energy on the sword, and his heart was somewhat damaged. Fortunately, the injury was not serious.
It's serious. He will recover immediately after a period of rest. However, in a short period of time, it will be difficult for Cao Peng to fight with others, otherwise the injury will be aggravated...
"Youxue, I will definitely find the assassin!"
Tian Yu stepped forward and whispered.
Cao Peng coughed twice, spit out a small mouthful of blood, and shook his head at Tian Yu.
"No!"
"Why?"
"The assassin is extremely skilled. Even though he was injured by me, he is not someone who can catch him. Since this person dares to take action on the ship, he must have a perfect plan. It is not that easy to find him... Why waste time anymore?
"
"But……"
Cao Peng smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, if he doesn't die, he will definitely come back."
"oh?"
Cao Peng looked towards the camp gate.
At this time, Liu Guang had disappeared into the camp gate and was out of sight.
He said coldly: "Someone wants me to die, but I'm not dead yet... Then how can he just give up?"
Tian Yu immediately understood the meaning of Cao Peng's words.
However, he started to feel a headache again, because that person... was not only a relative of the emperor, but also an envoy on this mission. If he wanted Cao Peng to die, he could have many tricks, and he didn't even need to spend too much money.
Many twists and turns.
This time I not only have to cooperate with him, but also protect Cao Peng.
This is really a tricky thing...
"How's your injury?"
"It's nothing serious!"
Tian Yu hesitated for a moment, looked at Cao Peng who was all wet, rolled his eyes, and said softly: "From tomorrow on, you will no longer be in charge of the guard army."
"Why?"
Cao Peng looked at Tian Yu in surprise.
He is in charge of protecting the army and has military power in his hands, so he still has the ability to protect himself.
If we lose military power, wouldn’t we have to surrender without mercy?
Tian Yu smiled slightly and patted Cao Peng's arm, "You are sick, you are injured, you need to rest!"
After saying that, he said to his entourage: "Why don't you help Captain Cao back to his tent to rest... Don't worry, Youxue, I will let your people follow you. From now on, all you have to do is to take care of your body."
, don’t bother yourself anymore.”
Tian Yu's smile revealed confidence.
Although Cao Peng didn't quite understand his intentions, he also knew that Tian Yu was on the same side as him and would never harm him.
So, with the support of two servants, he walked to the camp.
Tian Yu stood with his hands behind his hands and suddenly called out: "Yan Nian."
"exist!"
A man came out from Tian Yu's retinue and stepped in to salute Tian Yu.
"From tomorrow onwards, you will temporarily lead the escort... However, if there is any matter, discuss it with Captain Cao in secret, and don't make your own decisions.
Protect Commander Cao well, if there is even the slightest mistake, I will kill you."
"Tian Shao understands!"
This Tian Shao is Tian Yu's nephew, but he is older than Tian Yu. After Gongsun Zan died, Tian Yu took some tribesmen from Yuyang to defect to Cao Cao, and Tian Shao also came with him. His ability is not that great.
, but the emphasis is on stability. He has always been Tian Yu's most trusted confidant... handing over the military power to Tian Shao can also reassure Tian Yu.
At this time, soldiers from the east bank of the river continued to come.
Pang Tong and Han De got off the boat and said with anxious expressions: "Where is the young master? Where is the young master?"
Tian Yu immediately ordered people to lead the two of them into the camp, accompanied by... four Fei Qi guards. Almost running all the way, Pang Tong and Han De came to Cao Peng's tent. They saw Wang Shuang standing with a sword across his bow.
At the door of the big tent, I was extremely alert.
"Wang Shuang, how are you doing, young master?"
"Rest in the tent, Mr. Yanpang will go in immediately."
"what about me?"
"Bring all the horses and luggage here... The young master ordered that the two brothers' nameplates be retrieved and they be buried in a grand ceremony after returning to Xudu. Brother Xinzhi is here to take care of me. I will go and pack my things right now to avoid any mistakes.
"
Han De nodded and took Wang Shuang's place.
Holding an ax in one hand and a knife in the other, he stood quietly outside the big tent door.
Pang Tong walked into the military tent with some trepidation and saw Cao Peng leaning on the couch, looking sick and weak.
"Afu, you..."
"I'm fine." Cao Peng smiled at Pang Tongtong and said softly: "It's just the country giving up my military power. I don't understand."
"ah?"
"The governor said that I was injured, sick, and needed to recuperate, so I no longer command the army."
When Pang Tong heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Ah Fu, why worry? Guorang is doing this for your own good. He wants to protect you. As for the army guards... there is no need to worry. You, the captain of the Qiang expedition, will
The commander-in-chief of the regiment guard army is Sikong. How can the state depose you? He is trying to hide you and protect you secretly... Just imagine, your disease will naturally reduce your room for movement. Even if someone wants to attack you
Even if you are not in a good position, you must still look for suitable opportunities.
At the same time, wouldn’t it be easier for you to spy on your opponents if you hide in the dark?”
Cao Peng couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this.
Concealing the truth...
What a great trick to conceal the truth.
Tian Yu used this method to protect himself, and at the same time it could also serve as a hidden move.
Thinking of this, Cao Peng felt relieved. But he immediately smiled bitterly: "But this journey is long, and I can't always have nothing to do."
"Haha, please be patient for now."
After Pang Tong said this, he felt relieved.
He chatted with Cao Peng for a while and then walked out of the military tent.
Cao Peng stayed alone in the military tent, looking at the empty tent and feeling bored.
At least before arriving at the southern Xiongnu, Tian Yu would not let himself go into the light. In this case, he had to find something to do to avoid being too boring on the way. But what thing to do? Cao Peng turned over and looked at the book on the desk.
Stacking papers, my eyes suddenly lit up. Since I have nothing to do, why not write something to save myself from boredom on the road...
What to write?
Cao Peng's eyes were rolling.

The sudden assassination made the atmosphere in the mission camp suddenly tense.
The Forbidden Army and the Guards were instantly separated, forming two completely different systems. Although the Forbidden Army was in the Guards' camp, it was independent. From patrolling to guarding, all the soldiers were Guards soldiers, while the Guards
You can only stay outside and cannot get close.
The night is already deep.
Liu Guang wandered in the big tent, unable to sleep.
He was waiting for Leng Fei's return.
He also knew that the previous assassination must have alarmed Tian Yu and others. If Leng Fei wanted to take action again, it would not be that easy. He was a little worried, because on the river, he clearly saw that Leng Fei was injured.
Although he had made careful arrangements, the river was very fast and if something unexpected happened, he would lose an excellent assistant.
Although Leng Fei was an eunuch, he did not have military power.
But his martial arts skills are undoubtedly the sharpest sword in the hands of the Han Emperor. If anything happens to Leng Fei, it will definitely be a big loss. Liu Guang closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, turned around and sat down on the bed,
He gently stroked the green beard stubble under his chin. Growing up, it was really a hard job... He didn't like this kind of thing.
It feels uncomfortable to personally order the death of one of the friends you value most.
However, he must kill Cao Peng.
Even though Cao Peng lived in seclusion for three years, his reputation grew bigger and bigger day by day, which would sooner or later cause disaster to the Han Dynasty. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, from the day he entered Chang'an to fight dogs for the Han Emperor,
It is doomed and there is no turning back.
Youxue, Youxue, if you want to blame me, I blame you for not knowing what is good and what is wrong, and for going against the will of heaven.
This world belongs to the Han Dynasty, and this country belongs to the country surnamed Liu. As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, you do not want to serve the Han Dynasty, but you want to help those rebellious officials and traitors. Even if you are from the same clan, you are treason and committing crimes... Sooner or later
Must die.
If you die now, I will keep your family safe in the future.
There are only these things I can do...
Thinking of this, Liu Guang let out a long breath. Suddenly, there was a popping sound outside the big tent. Liu Guang hurriedly raised his head and saw a man covered in blood, walking into the tent wet, and fell to the ground with a splash.
"Leng Gong!"
Liu Guang was startled and quickly ran forward to help him.
I saw that the knife edge on Leng Fei's shoulder was as scary as a split baby's mouth.
There were two steel arrows stuck in his shoulders and thighs, almost half of them submerged in his flesh. Leng Fei's face was pale, without any blood.
He whispered: "Liu Hou, quickly deal with the imperial troops outside."
"Waiting in the cold palace for a moment."
Liu Guang helped Leng Fei sit down and quickly ran out of the tent.
He saw two chamberlains fainted on the ground, unconscious for a long time. His heart moved, and he immediately took charge...
Leng Fei found two close servants, pointed at the unconscious eunuch, and whispered: "Get rid of these two people immediately, leave one body behind, and throw the other into the river. Do it more beautifully, Hugh
The traces will be discovered."
The two house slaves quickly agreed, tied up the two eunuchs, carried them and sneaked away.
Liu Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the tent. He saw Leng Fei sitting on the couch, gritting his teeth and pulling out the two steel arrows on his legs and shoulders. There were thorns hanging on the two steel arrows...
...With this pull, two ounces of flesh were pulled off. The blood flowed gurglingly, and Leng Fei almost fainted. Fortunately, he was well prepared and chewed the golden medicine in his mouth before pulling out the arrow. Poof.
Spray it on the palm of your hand and press it hard on the wound, almost shrinking into a ball.
"Leng Gong..."
"Liu Hou, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you for a while.
This Cao family is cruel and ruthless, and he actually possesses such a sharp weapon... In thirty days, it will be difficult for me to fight with others, so I have to ask Liu Hou for everything... Liu Hou, I know that you and the Cao family cherish each other. I also know that our trip this time
The Huns in the South will be infamy for thousands of years in the future. But you and I are all working for His Majesty, and there are some things we cannot help ourselves. If Your Majesty had no other choice, he would never use such a method... In the future, there will always be someone who will seek justice for us.
Therefore, there is no need to be kind to women.
If you continue like this, I'm afraid our last hope will be shattered... Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others are not worthy of belief. The only people your Majesty truly believes in are you and me. You must not
hesitate."
"Leng Gong, I just remembered it."
"Then Cao Peng... was also injured by me, and he will probably need some time to recover.
Don't pay attention to him until I recover from my injury. That boy has too many tricks up his sleeve, and a big mistake will happen if he is not careful. Leave this child to me, and after I recover from my injury, I will take this child's life...otherwise
, after all, it is the trouble of the Han Dynasty."
Leng Fei stared at Liu Guang with burning eyes.
Liu Guang nodded vigorously, "Leng Gong, don't worry, I will never be reckless."
"I can rest assured that……"
After Leng Fei said that, he stood up, endured the pain in his body, and quietly left the tent.
Liu Guang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and roared as if he was suppressing it: "Cao Youxue, I will never be merciful again!"

"Ah sneeze!"
Cao Peng suddenly sneezed and turned over to sit up.
In the tent, candlelight flickered.
Pang Tong was sitting aside, holding a volume in his hand.
"Youxue, why did you wake up?"
"What time is it?"
"It's past Yin hour... You can sleep a little longer. We won't set off until after Chen hour today."
"what happened?"
"After you went to bed, the Marquis of Linyi sent someone over to tell Deputy Envoy Tian that two of the servants accompanying him were missing. Deputy Envoy Tian found one of them on the river beach, but the other one was missing. The Marquis of Linyi said
, the missing person is probably your assassin. And the person who was found is probably the assassin’s accomplice..."
"What did Deputy Tian say?"
When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and asked, "What would you say if you were Deputy Tian?"
Cao Peng was startled and immediately understood what Pang Tong meant. As if talking to himself, he whispered: "This Marquis of Linyi is indeed a man of means..."
