Soon the man suspected of being an assassin was brought to Cao Liang.

Cao Liang took a look, this person was extremely thin, wearing a cloth coat, and it was the kind with a few holes in his body, his face was dirty, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his face was covered with ash from the bottom of the pot, and he could barely see his eyebrows.

This is no different from a beggar on the street, but if he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and runs to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion to listen to the ghosts, it will definitely not be a normal beggar.

Cao Liang would not regard him as an ordinary beggar, and said coldly: "Who are you and what is the purpose of coming here?" ”

The man looked at Cao Liang vigilantly and said nothing.

Ah Fu also shouted and asked: "Our little marquis asked you, you had better explain honestly, otherwise you will have to suffer!" ”

The man looked at Cao Liang cautiously and said, "Are you Cao Liang and Cao Gongzi?" ”

Cao Liang nodded and said, "It's me, you might as well say anything directly, I don't like to go around in circles." ”

The man looked at Fang Bu behind Cao Liang and Ah Fu on the side, and stopped talking, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.

Cao Liang saw it in his eyes and said calmly: "They are all my close confidants, so it doesn't matter if you have anything to say." ”

The man finally spoke: "The villain was sent by Prince Xiahou, and it was inconvenient for Prince Xiahou to come in person, so he specially sent a villain in disguise, and wanted to ask Gongzi Cao if everything was according to the original plan?" ”

Cao Liang suddenly realized, it turned out that this person was sent by Xiahou Xuan, but Cao Liang had never seen this person, and he did not dare to easily determine the authenticity, the last time he was not gullible that the assassin was from Yangfu, and as a result, he was ambushed by the assassin in the Dragon Garden.

Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, at this moment, Cao Liang must have an extra heart, and said calmly: "You said that you were sent by Prince Xiahou, do you have any credentials?" ”

Xiahou's slave was obviously prepared, and when he heard this, he immediately took out a letter from his arms, handed it over, and said, "This is our son's handwritten letter, please take a look at it from Gongzi Cao." ”

Ah Fu took the letter and handed it to Cao Liang, Cao Liang opened it and looked at it, sure enough, it was Xiahou Xuan's handwritten letter, he nodded and confirmed the identity of the person who came.

Xiahou Xuan was indeed cautious enough, and the people he sent were disguised and disguised, presumably to hide people's eyes.

Of course, Xiahou Xuan's caution is understandable, after this assassination case, Xiahou Xuan knew that Cao Liang must have been targeted by the Sima family, if he came over blatantly, wouldn't he take the initiative to tell the Sima family that he and Cao Liang had joined forces.

This kind of thing, it is necessary to kill the Sima family by surprise, so that there is a great chance of winning, otherwise once the Sima family is aware and prepares in advance, it is very likely to fall short.

Originally, according to the agreement between Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan, he would just act according to the plan tomorrow, but after such a big change, Tingwei changed people, and Xiahou Xuan was a little undecided, but he didn't dare to come to interview Cao Liang in person, so he sent a powerful henchman to ask Cao Liang.

Cao Liang thought about it for a while, now that Tingwei has changed people, it is actually the biggest benefit, Li Sheng is Cao Shuang's confidant, and he is obedient to Cao Shuang's words, and when he is the Tingwei to try this case, it is more likely that Sima Shi will be killed.

As for tomorrow's plan, Cao Liang has no intention of changing it, just act according to the original plan.

However, Cao Liang still told Xiahou Xuan to pay attention to the timing of Cao Shuang and Li Sheng's appearance, they can only give the Sima family a fatal blow when they appear at the most appropriate time.

This requires Xiahou Xuan to greet Cao Shuang in advance and determine a better time to cut in.

Xiahou's slave understood it and immediately left.

As soon as he left on his front foot, Ah Fu came in and reported: "Little Hou Ye, the sheep boy asks to see you." ”

Cao Liang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yanghu to come, and immediately ordered someone to invite Yanghu in.

Anyway, the relationship between Cao Liang and the Yang family has long been there, and Yanghu naturally doesn't have to be as sneaky as Xiahou Xuan, he came to Cao's Mansion brightly.

"Brother Ziming, are you okay, you haven't been injured, right?" As soon as he entered the door, Yanghu asked with concern.

Cao Liang showed a smile on his face and said, "No, don't you think I'm good?" ”

Yanghu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My sister heard that you were assassinated, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, so she made a special trip to let me come over to take a look, if it wasn't convenient, my sister might come to see you in person." I'm relieved that you're okay, and I can go back and tell my sister that I can also make her feel at ease. ”

Cao Liang felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and Yang Huiyu's concern made him very pleased, and he smiled and said, "Why, without your sister's explanation, you wouldn't have seen me coming?" ”

Yanghu's face turned slightly red, and said, "No, of course I was anxious when I heard that you were assassinated, but no one cares more about you than my sister." Brother Ziming, tomorrow is my sister's wedding date, do you really have a way to prevent my sister from marrying into the Sima family? ”

Cao Liang said firmly: "Uncle, you go back and tell your sister that I have made all the arrangements for tomorrow, let her put her heart back in her stomach steadfastly, don't be impulsive, don't do anything stupid, no matter what the circumstances, you must believe me!" ”

Yanghu said: "I'm relieved to have your words, then I'll go first, my sister is still waiting for me to reply." ”

"Good." Cao Liang personally sent Yanghu out of the house and said goodbye.

Looking at the back of Yanghu leaving, Cao Liang took a deep breath.

Tomorrow will be the moment of decisive battle with the Sima family, this will be a battlefield without gunsmoke, this will be a duel without swords, success or failure, may determine the trend of the future war with the Sima family.

If the Sima family can be hit hard this time, Cao Liang's road may be smoother in the future, but if it fails......

No, there must be no failure! Cao Liang will never allow the woman he likes to be snatched away by Sima Shi, the Sima family is already determined to take his life, and in the current situation, he and the Sima family are already endless, and there is nothing to worry about anymore.

Thinking of Yang Huiyu's sad eyes, Cao Liang's heartstrings can't help but tremble, whether it is for a woman, or for the sake of the Great Wei Dynasty, Cao Liang will definitely go all out, who said that if you love beauty, you can't love Jiangshan, this beauty and Jiangshan are not contradictory or conflicting,

Cao Liang will never let Yang Huiyu down, so tomorrow's big drama directed by him himself must succeed and must not fail.

It was late at night, the wind was cold and the dew was heavy, Cao Liang stared in the direction of the east, his eyes were rarely firm and resolute.
