Chapter 40: Who Committed the Assassination

After making eye contact with Sun Ce, Liu Xie spoke, which does not mean that he is cowardly, but if the two of them don't speak, the atmosphere will be very awkward for a while.

"I saved your life, and now that you're in Wu County, Bo Fu won't thank me?"

Liu Xie's words were very arrogant, but the pertinence was also quite strong, and after finishing speaking, Liu Xie sat with his back against the bench, waiting for Sun Ce's answer.

"Your Majesty has been in Xuchang all these years, and it seems that he was held hostage by Cao Cao, but everyone in the world seems to look down on His Majesty immediately, if it weren't for Your Majesty, Sun Ce might indeed have died at the hands of assassins, but I still have a lot of things I don't understand about this matter, although I have been investigating during this time, but I have found nothing."

Sun Ce did admit that Liu Xie saved his life, but at the same time, he also threw Liu Xie a question, that is, how did he know about this matter, or who was behind this matter.

This is very important to Sun Ce, although he has used the power of thunder to pacify Jiangdong in the past few years, and he has indeed made a lot of enemies during this period, but he really can't think of someone of this level to deal with him.

Although the three assassins disguised themselves as Orions, their skill, Sun Ce, could see that there were indeed people with such skills under his command, but there were no more than five, and he would not use them easily.

From this point of view, the strength of the person who sent the assassin is not below Jiangdong.

Sun Ce did have a few people in his head, but he couldn't be sure for a while.

In addition, this matter was told to him by Liu Xie in the letter, so he couldn't reveal it to his advisors and generals before he knew the cause and effect, so the first time he saw Liu Xie, in fact, what Sun Ce wanted to know most was indeed this matter.

"If you could get the results from your investigation, I wouldn't have written that letter to you, I would have told you about this sooner or later, but I put forward my conditions in the letter at that time, I don't know this condition, how did you think about it?"

When Sun Ce heard this, a look of shock and helplessness appeared on his face.

Liu Xie was nothing different from what he imagined, originally he thought that Liu Xie was a stupid young man who had been in the palace in Xuchang for several years.

However, after verifying that the incident that Liu Xie told him in the letter was true, he felt that Liu Xie was a calm young man who was very able to hide his clumsiness.

But now the person sitting across from him is like a son of a family, and he not only speaks straightforwardly, but also spans a very large span, as if he can handle a lot of things.

"Where did Your Majesty learn that I sent back two women from Qiao's? Your Majesty's hand is a little long, those two women are ordinary women on the Jiangdong territory, and there should be no shortage of people in His Majesty's harem, right? ”

Of course, Sun Ce knew that the conditions that Liu Xie was talking about now were written in the letter, and if he really said it right and saved himself from death, the two women of the Qiao clan would belong to him.

Now although the truth is indeed that Liu Xie is right, he originally coerced the Son of Heaven by himself, but as soon as the Son of Heaven arrived, the Son of Heaven took away two stunning beauties, and it was a bit like what he did as a little overlord in Jiangdong.

"Woman, give you a hundred, do you think one is more than one who looks like a fairy? Of course, you can also treat me like Cao Cao, and the set of objects that I have brought with me, whether it is a person or an emperor, but do you think that you can defeat the winner between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao with just one me? There are also Liu Biao, Ma Teng, and those princes in the Central Plains who have never stood in line, is your Jiangdong heritage really enough? ”

Liu Xie said that at the end, he still had a little momentum to come out, and after leaving Xuchang, Liu Xie set a rule for himself, no matter where he went, he couldn't be cowardly! It's just over!

When Sun Ce heard this, he was speechless for a while, indeed, he was indomitable in Jiangdong, and when he saw whoever did whom, it was all because the enemy was not so strong.

Now if you want to let yourself take the children of Jiangdong out of Jiangdong, Liu Biao himself may not be able to do it.

"Just two women, I naturally will not be stingy, since Your Majesty has decided to move the capital to my Wu County, I will naturally greet Your Majesty in accordance with Your Majesty's due etiquette, but before that, please also ask Your Majesty to inform the ministers of the origin of these assassins!"

This time, Sun Ce's eyes showed a trace of sincerity, at least he was no longer superior.

"You let Zhang Hong go to Xuchang two years ago, although it was nominally to express your respect for me and Cao Cao on your behalf, but do you think that such a statement will allow Zhang Hong to be in Xuchang for two years, and he can hide from those strategists around Cao Cao who claim to have talents of gods and ghosts?"

"Your Majesty means that these assassins were sent by Cao Cao? Hum! He has lived for such a long time, doesn't he know the disputes between the princes, what they do and what they don't do? If he does this, he Cao Cao will also die here in the future! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he finally revealed his true nature, and his eyes widened angrily for a while, obviously very annoyed by Cao Cao's blatant violation of the unspoken rules.

You know, it's not an exaggeration to say that he walked outside the Ghost Gate this time, if it weren't for Liu Xie's letter reminding him, even Sun Ce himself couldn't say what the result would be.

"It is said that your Sun Bofu is an impatient, and now it seems that this is really the case, after you give the two women of the Qiao family to me, I will have to check them carefully......"

After Liu Xie joked, seeing that Sun Ce was about to explode, he hurriedly continued to divert the topic.

"If you say that about Cao Cao, you will really blame him a little wrong, I have been friends with him for many years, he is a person who is much more afraid of death than you, and he will never provoke such an incident as assassination first."

"Is it Cao Cao?"

Obviously, Sun Ce was a little confused by Liu Xie's words, and he didn't understand whether the person he was talking about was Cao Cao.

"Now, I'm afraid Cao Cao wants to know about this matter, when Guo Jia arranges this matter, Cao Cao will definitely not know, Guo Jia is afraid that he will lose his life if he does this, but fortunately, Bo Fu is safe and sound, and it can be regarded as his own creation!"

Although it was still not a direct answer to his question, the answer that Sun Ce wanted had already come out of Liu Xie's mouth.

Guo Jia...... As Cao Cao's adviser, how could he dare to act like this? ”
