Chapter 53: The Sun Dawns in the East

Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo is a small story in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xiang Xiaoer carried out a magic change according to the world he was in, and everyone's sense of substitution was very strong, coupled with Xiang Xiaoer's extraordinary storytelling skills, everyone present listened very attentively for a while.

However, no one noticed that just as everyone was listening, there were several guests with twinkling eyes among the guests, pretending to be nothing, but in fact secretly observing the surrounding environment.

"I saw that Dong Zhuo lying down."

As soon as Xiang Xiaoer's words fell, a few of the guests stood up from their chairs, and there were many guests present, everyone only cared about listening to the book, even if they noticed the actions of a few people, they didn't care for a while.

"Cao Cao drew his knife and wanted to stab."

As if agreed, several people instantly launched an attack on Dongfang Riming, who was sitting in the first place.

Xiang Xiaoer didn't say anything, and quietly continued to tell his story, but everyone present had no intention of listening, and Dongfang Riming's henchmen were furious.

"You dare."

However, many of the Assassins were expressionless, and their movements did not pause in the slightest.

The surrounding guards drew their knives and rushed forward to stop the other party, however, the assassin made the first move, and everyone did not expect that someone would dare to murder the only king of the opposite sex in the palace.

Sitting next to Dongfang Riming were all his henchmen, and they all shot at once, and they were going to stop the assassin.

The Assassins made a beeline for the Eastern Sun, which was located in the very center.

There were many assassins, and I don't know how to infiltrate the guests, even if everyone around them stopped a few people, there was still one missing assassin, and he went straight to the east of the sun.

Seeing the assassin attacking, everyone around him was shocked and stayed away, only Dongfang Riming was still sitting quietly on the chair, listening to the story like Xiao Er's mouth.

The assassin was getting closer and closer to him, and even the long sword in his hand was almost piercing Dongfang Sun's clothes.

"Lord Wang."

The people around them all let out a worried exclamation.

At this moment, Dongfang Yuming raised his eyes and glanced at his assassin directly.

"Send someone to assassinate me, you have to find a decent one!"

As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Riming stood up instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the assassin, his left hand was raised, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the assassin.

"I can't escape."

The disparity in strength was like a curse in front of the assassin.

"Smack!"

Dongfang Riming's hand gently grasped the assassin's face, and then with the force of his five fingers, the assassin's head was instantly crushed like a watermelon falling to the ground.

Blood splattered and stained the clothes of the people around him.

Dongfang Riming raised the bloodstained hand and said lightly:

"You don't have to stay alive."

"Whoa!"

At this time, many guards also rushed up, surrounded the assassins, and then swarmed up, subduing several people in an instant.

At this time, the maid who was serving on the side hurriedly ran up with a snow-white towel and respectfully handed it to Dongfang Riming.

Dongfang Riming glanced at the other party casually, then took the towel and began to wipe his hands.

"It's too dirty, bring a basin of water."

The maid nodded, and hurriedly went to prepare the water again.

At this time, the guards of the Eastern Palace also showed their ability beyond ordinary people, almost all the assassins were subdued, and some assassins who wanted to see no hope of escape simply gritted their teeth and fell to the ground in an instant.

One of the henchmen of the Eastern Japanese Alliance crouched down and put his hand on the opponent's carotid artery, and then broke the opponent's mouth.

stood up coldly and said to Dongfang Riming:

"Dead."

Dongfang Riming nodded, this was not what he expected, he could assassinate himself in this environment, whether he succeeded or not, these people's lives would not be alive.

The assassination broke out very suddenly, and ended quickly, as one of the Assassins committed suicide, one by one, the remaining Assassins suddenly convulsed and then lay on the ground, apparently also poisoning themselves.

"Professionally trained, everyone has a poison sac in their mouth, from the action to the present, without saying a word, no accident, it should be a dead soldier who has been cultivated since childhood."

One of the fathers said and touched the face of the lifeless assassin lying on the ground, and then ripped the skin off with a single force, and the skin looked like another face.

"It seems that they deliberately pretended to be guests to attend the prince's birthday, but I don't know if these disguised faces are cooperating with these people or are already dead."

The eastern sunset did not speak, stretched out his hand and washed his hands cleanly in the basin of water held by the maid.

After washing, he took a new towel and wiped his hands, and then spoke again:

"Clean up, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something, today is a good day, don't lose your interest."

"Whoa!"

Many guards and henchmen nodded, and in pairs they removed the corpses lying on the ground.

After the entity was cleaned up, the subordinates quickly rushed up with tools, quickly cleaned the floor and the bloodstained tables, chairs and benches, and then respectfully retreated.

Dongfang Riming glanced at the opening that everyone didn't care about:

"Sit, it's just a few idiots who don't have long brains, I'm not Dong Zhuo in the story, they are naturally not Cao Cao, this story is really exciting today, you have to listen to it."

Many henchmen took the lead in sitting down, and the other guests also recovered from the panic just now, glanced at Dongfang Riming, who spoke, and all nodded and sat down.

Seeing this, Dongfang Riming also sat back on the chair, looking at Xiang Xiaoer on the stage, even if there was such a big movement in the audience, this Xiaoer still didn't react, and the stories he talked about kept talking.

The voice in his mouth sometimes changed to Dong Zhuo, sometimes to Lu Bu, and sometimes to Cao Cao.

The story was very exciting, but this was delayed by the assassin for a while, and the story of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo was already short, and Xiang Xiaoer finished talking after everyone sat down for a while.

Dongfang Yiluo glanced at Xiang Xiaoer, who was expressionless and couldn't guess what he was thinking, and after speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank tea quietly.

After hesitating for a moment, he was the first to applaud.

The other guests reacted one after another, stretched out their hands and slapped them without hesitation, and even heard a few cheers.

Although in the eyes of many people who don't know Xiang Xiaoer's identity, such a big incident happened to the other party, and they continued to say that it was a bit unreasonable, but Miss Dongfang took the lead in slapping, and they had to give a face.

And the owners of the family have no opinions, and they listeners naturally have no opinions, and the story is really wonderful, and everyone will naturally not be stingy with their applause.

Dongfang Riming also stretched out his hand, slapped it gently, and then looked at Xiang Xiaoer, who put down the tea bowl, and spoke:

"Mr. Xiang's story is very exciting, but why do I feel like there is no beginning and no end? This Dong Zhuo is a traitor of the Han clan, and the assassination of Cao Cao of the Shen clan failed, and the other ministers of the court, especially Situ Wang Yun, will definitely think of other schemes to get rid of him.

And that Cao Cao, so the assassination failed, but he also gained a great reputation, but in the face of the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, I am afraid it will not be so easy to escape, what happened to these two people afterwards? ”

Xiang Xiaoer put down the teacup and looked at the only king with a different surname in Tianhan with a smile and spoke:

"This Dong Zhuo's assassination of Qin is a story at the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of these two people is naturally very long, as the prince said, this Cao Cao gained a lot of fame after the assassination of Qin, although it was a little difficult when he fled, but after returning to his hometown, he recruited troops and horses, and soon gathered a large number of teams and raised the banner of crusading against Dong Zhuo.

Later, it was released to discuss Dong Zhuanwen, and gathered the army of the 18 princes in the world to enter the palace Dong Zhuo, although Lu Bu is the first fierce general in the world, and the red rabbit horse under the crotch is also the first in the world, but in the end it was defeated, and in the face of the coalition of the 18 princes, Dong Zhuo could only hold the young emperor hostage overnight and lead the Manchu Dynasty to leave Luoyang.

And that Situ Wang Yun naturally would not give up, and as soon as the serial plan came out, Peter Dong Zhuo and his righteous son Lu Bu turned against each other, and was finally killed by Lu Bu in the court.

It's just that this story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not shorter than the story of the Romance of the Gods that I am talking about, and naturally it is not something that can be finished in just one or two days, so today we will only talk about this short paragraph of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo. ”

As a storyteller with professional ethics, Xiang Xiaoer explained the reason to everyone very responsibly.

Dongfang Riming picked up the teacup and took a sip, he just heard that the white dragon who was reborn in Chu seemed to be quite interesting, not only did he not become domineering a thousand years ago, but he became amiable, and he liked to tell stories very much.

It is said that in the Yumen Pass is specifically for women to say a story called Jinling Twelve Hairpins, although he has not heard of it, but there are people who have a heart to make a book to send to his daughter, he still remembers that when he first got his daughter also read it again and again for a long time, even now sometimes take it out for entertainment.

Therefore, my daughter will occasionally tell him some of the stories inside, although I am not interested, but I want to see my daughter's reaction is also very good, but I heard my daughter say that it is a pity that the story of the twelve hairpins of Jinling is only told 80 times, and it was delayed because of the war at Yumen Pass.

For this reason, they naturally don't believe the true identity of the storyteller, and they just think that the other party has forgotten, or they haven't thought about the next story.

At that time, he thought that this white dragon who had escaped from Mangdang Mountain would only do it in Yumen Pass because of his panic, and this storyteller's business, but he didn't expect that after more than a month, the other party appeared in their Yingzhou, and actually started this business again, and also set up a shop decently.

As a local snake in Yingzhou, he naturally knows everything that happened to the Liu family, and he has no surprise about the other party's helpfulness, but he is curious that this dragon seems to have been trapped for thousands of years, and some have been sleepy for a long time, so he likes to tell people this interesting story.

He has never heard of it, but his daughter often goes, and I heard that the story recently is called the Romance of the Gods, and some generals under his command will occasionally dress up in disguise to join in the fun.

There are often people who tell him the story, according to his daughter's words, although this story is not as good as the twelve hairpins of Jinling, it is still novel and interesting.

But his subordinates said the opposite, there was no war in this battalion, and there was no way to train troops in this ice and snow, so his subordinates were also idle and panicked, and they went to the Qingguan enough, and they naturally went to join in the fun of this novelty.

After going once or twice, people praised the story for telling it well, and several of them always wanted to take them with them.

It's just that it's not that he feels superior as a prince, but that he really doesn't think there will be anything new, although the storyteller Yingzhou doesn't, but as the only king with a different surname in Tianhan, he has naturally heard a lot.

Therefore, most of the stories I feel are told like that, no matter how good they are, there will be nothing new.

But when I heard it today, I found out that it was worthy of being a thousand-year-old white dragon, and it was really a bit of Taoism, and this change of voice made him immersive, and the story was indeed novel, so he couldn't help but be a little impressed, so he spoke.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be ready to continue, he glanced at it and it was still early, and he hadn't heard enough, Dongfang Riming spoke again:

"Although I don't know what the story of this Romance of the Three Kingdoms is, but the story of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo seems to me to have a head but no end, this background and the reason for Cao Cao's assassination of Dong, we all know, this is the result, it is a failure, we also know, but this process of Cao Cao's escape should naturally be regarded as a process of assassination, right?

But we only know that he failed to assassinate and escaped, but we don't know anything about the process of escaping, is this a head and no tail? ”

Xiang Xiaoer was stunned, although he knew that the other party seemed to be a little messy, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made a lot of sense.

"Reasonable."

Dongfang Riming smiled when he saw the other party's attitude, probably because of some bad taste, he also spoke out of embarrassment for the other party, and wanted to test this Cao Cao assassination of Dong on this short period or there is a long story after that, looking at the other party's attitude, it seems that there is really such a story as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Since it is reasonable, if it is still early today, little sir, why don't you tell us about it again?"

Xiang Xiaoer looked up at the sun in the sky and spoke:

"It's almost noon at this time, isn't it time for this feast to begin? This Cao Cao's escape journey is quite tortuous, if I continue to talk about it, will it delay the banquet time? ”

Dongfang Riming smiled and said: "It's okay, this story naturally doesn't affect eating and drinking, we can listen and eat at the same time, and Mr. Xiao can also talk while drinking." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and whispered a few words to the housekeeper beside him.

The housekeeper of the palace nodded, and soon many subordinates took the table and placed the dishes in front of the eastern sunset.

Immediately afterwards, food and wine were also placed on the table in front of Xiang Xiaoer and the other guests.

Xiang Xiaoer glanced at Ma Xiaosan, who was standing not far away, and just wanted to beckon him to come up and eat, when he saw Dongfang Yiluo speak:

"Ma Gongzi will come to my table to eat."

Watching that big scene, listening to the second brother's urging, Ma Xiaosan, who honestly stayed in place and waited for the other party to find him to eat together, raised his finger and pointed to his uncertain opening:

"Me?"

Dongfang Yiluo nodded with a smile, looked at Dongfang Riming, who didn't react, and then turned his head to look at his second brother.

Xiang Xiaoer glanced at the people present, thought a little and nodded.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaosan hesitated and sat at the table of Dongfang Tomorrow.

Xiang Xiaoer saw that everyone had arranged his third brother clearly, and this good wine and food was also carried on his back, if he didn't say that the fate was true, he couldn't get over it so he spoke.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll tell you the story of Taotao's escape."

"Good!"

The East will open its mouth tomorrow.

"Smack!"

As soon as he slapped the waking wood, Xiang Xiaoer told the story of Cao Cao's visit again.

(After escaping from Luoyang, Cao Cao did not dare to rest, and rode all the way to Zhongmu County, where he was captured by the soldiers guarding the pass.) In the middle of the night, the county ordered Chen Gong to interrogate Cao Cao. Cao Cao couldn't hide it, so he said that he had assassinated Dong Zhuo and his ambition to raise troops to defeat Dong Zhuo. Chen Gong was deeply moved, so he abandoned the official and went with Cao Cao.

The two walked for three days and came to Chenggao. Chenggao and Lu Boyu were friends of Cao Cao's father, and the two went to Lu's house to stay. Lu Bo was hospitable, asked about the situation, and rode a donkey out to drink.

Cao Cao and Chen Gong sat for a long time, and suddenly heard the sound of sharpening knives in the back of the village. Cao Cao said: "Lu Boyu is not my dearest, this is suspicious, you should go and listen to the movement secretly." The two quietly came to the back of the cottage, only to hear someone say: "How about tying it up first and then killing?" Cao Cao said: "I see! If you don't do it first, you'll be caught and rewarded! So they drew their swords and went straight in, killing men and women when they saw them, and slew eight men in a row. When they searched the kitchen, they saw a pig tied to be killed. Chen Gong regretted and said: "Meng De has a lot of heart, he killed a good person by mistake!" “

The two hurriedly got on their horses and left the village, and when they walked less than two miles, they saw Lu Boyu riding a donkey and coming towards them with wine and food. Lu Boyu met and asked, "Why did the virtuous nephew and the envoy leave?" I've asked my family to kill pigs for hospitality. Cao Cao didn't answer, rode forward, walked a few steps and suddenly drew his sword and came back, calling Lu Boyu and said, "Who is coming over there?" When he looked back, Cao Cao swung his sword and slashed him under the donkey.

Chen Gong was shocked: "It was a manslaughter just now, what is this doing now?!" Cao Cao said: "When Bo Yu arrives at home, how can he give up when he sees that so many people have been killed?" If we lead men after us, we will suffer. Chen Gong said: "Knowing that you are wrong, you still want to kill indiscriminately, this is too immoral!" Cao Cao said: "I'd rather let the world bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me!" Chen Gong listened and was silent.

Staying at the inn at night, Cao Cao slept first, and Chen Gong pondered: "I originally thought that Cao Cao was a good person, and he abandoned the official with him, who knew that he was such a wolf-hearted person!" He wanted to draw his sword and kill Cao Cao, but then he thought about it: "I came here with him for the sake of the country, and it would be unjust to kill him, so it is better to switch to someone else." So without waiting for the dawn, he got on his horse.

Cao Cao woke up, disappeared Chen Gong, figured out the reason, and got on the horse and went straight to his hometown. Cao Cao issued an edict to inform all the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and then set up the banner of "loyalty and righteousness", scattered all the family wealth, and recruited volunteers. There were countless recruits, among them, Lejin, Li Dian and fellow clansmen Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc., all brought people to defect. Cao Cao then reorganized his army and horses and prepared to raise troops. )
