Cao Cao seemed to notice the change in Liu Bei's face, and smiled lightly: "Liu Bei, do you feel that your heart is unbalanced?" Obviously, you worked hard to bring the criminal Tang Zhou into Beijing to face the saint, but in the end, you didn't have anything, but the criminal got the benefit and felt that he was wronged? ”

"Uh~!"

Cao Cao saw his thoughts, and Liu Bei suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Just listen to Cao Cao continue: "Alas! In fact, those of us who are courtiers just need to do our job well. As for the so-called rewards, let them be. I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life! That's how you can get away! ”

Cao Cao said, put his arms around Liu Bei's neck, and then whispered: "If you really feel uncomfortable, Brother Liu, why don't you be the east tonight, let's go to the bar in Luoyang together, drink some wine, look at the beauties, how about the sister?" ”

Looking at Cao Cao's somewhat lustful eyes, he saw that Liu Bei's expression suddenly became correct, and then said with a straight face: "That~ I'm still young, let's forget about this kind of thing like picking up girls in the bar." Now that my mission is complete, I'd better go back and get back to my life! ”

Liu Bei, in line with his noble sentiments, didn't want to be spoiled by Cao Cao, a somewhat evil bad guy, and finally decided to return to Rende University to resume his life.

And he has been out for a long time, I don't know how Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other brothers are doing now! I miss them very much in my heart, and I should have taken Dian Wei back to recognize the door as soon as possible, don't call yourself a student of Rende University but don't even know what your school looks like, this is too ridiculous and generous!

Now that Tang Zhou has been handed over to the alliance leader, although he is a little unhappy with Liu Hong's verdict, he can't interfere with Liu Hong's decision as a student.

And through his face, Liu Bei found that Liu Hong's qi and blood had been lost to the extreme. Although he is acting like a normal person now, he can't tell when he will suddenly die violently.

For a dying person, he has no reason to worry about Liu Hong, and he can't afford it! And the most important thing is that if you stay here, I'm afraid that you will really be spoiled by Cao Cao.

So Liu Bei still decided to leave, politely declined Cao Cao's invitation, and planned to return to Zhuo County immediately.

Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything, but asked him to find him when he came to study in the Han Academy in the future, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

"Captain Cao, if I am really lucky enough to study at the Han Academy one day, I will definitely come to visit, and I hope that Captain Cao will not be disgusted and disturbed by the time!"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he said goodbye to Cao Cao, and took Dian Wei behind him to the city gate.

But when he saw the confined city gate, Liu Bei remembered that because of Ma Yuanyi's matter, the whole city is now under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave Luoyang City.

With a "snap", Liu Bei patted his head. The heart said that I was really confused by the old guy Tang Zhou, and he asked Cao Cao to do the thing of blocking the city gate, but several people forgot about it!

And just as Liu Bei turned around to leave, he felt a chill suddenly emerge from the bottom of his heart. Liu Bei couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly looked at the surrounding environment.

"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Dian Wei, who didn't know why, saw Liu Bei suddenly look around nervously, and asked suspiciously.

"There is a murderous aura, someone just had a strong killing intent towards me. If I'm not mistaken, that Ma Yuanyi is around here! ”

Liu Bei looked around vigilantly while answering Dian Wei's question in a low voice.

Dian Wei was also nervous after hearing this, although he had not fought with Ma Yuanyi, but from the fact that he was able to escape under the combined attack of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, he could see that he was definitely not his opponent.

And it is estimated that even if he joins forces with Liu Bei, it is estimated that he will be the first to die!

So when he heard that Ma Yuanyi was nearby, he also began to look nervously at the pedestrians around him.

Suddenly, Liu Bei felt that his shoulder was patted, and then he saw Liu Bei suddenly withdraw and step sideways, and reflexively punched the rear.

Seeing that the man was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged Liu Bei's fist, and then shouted loudly: "Alas, don't fight!" Liu Bei, it's me Cao Cao! ”

Hearing the voice, Liu Bei saw that the person who came was Cao Cao, who had just been separated from him for a long time.

"Uh~! It turned out to be Captain Cao, why are you here? Didn't you take someone to search for Ma Yuanyi? ”

I heard Cao Cao say: "I didn't forget to remind you that the whole city is under martial law now, I'm afraid that you won't have a place to go, so I specially came over and invited you to live in my Cao family's compound temporarily." ”

"Uh~! Isn't this a little too good? Dian Wei and I still don't bother Captain Cao! You see, this Ma Yuanyi doesn't know when he will be caught, and Dian Wei and I can't stay at your house all the time! ”

Liu Bei said, suddenly remembering what he had just been peeped at. So he hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "Captain Cao, I just felt that someone suddenly showed a trace of killing intent to me, although now that the feeling has disappeared, I think that Ma Yuanyi is probably hiding somewhere near here." So please also ask Captain Cao to focus on searching this neighborhood! ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, and then immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone and said: "Immediately send a team here at the gate of Xicheng, Ma Yuanyi is likely to be around here, give me a careful and careful search of this area!" ”

Then Cao Cao said seriously: "Liu Bei, I think you should go to live in my Cao family's compound!" My Cao family has a big business in Luoyang, and it is not bad for the two of you.

And based on what you just said, I think you are likely to be targeted by that Ma Yuanyi. If you're staying outside in a hotel, it's too unsafe. If Ma Yuanyi secretly attacks you, I think even if Liu Bei can escape, this Dian Wei classmate is probably more than lucky! ”

Seeing that Liu Bei thought about it slightly, he nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "That's true!" Then we can only be cheeky to go to Captain Cao's house to disturb for a few days, and trouble Captain Cao to take care of it! ”

I saw Cao Cao smiling and waving his hand: "Alas, what are you talking about!" For a young hero like Liu Bei, I, Cao Cao, absolutely welcome him, why bother! ”

So Cao Cao took Liu Bei Dianwei to the Cao family compound and settled down. The so-called Cao family compound is a mansion of the Cao family in Luoyang City. The interior is heavily guarded, and it can be said that there is a post at ten steps and a sentry at five steps. Staying here, Liu Bei is not so worried that Ma Yuanyi will come here to seek revenge on him!

After telling his subordinates to take good care of Liu Bei and Dian Wei, he took a team back to where Liu Bei had just been, and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

"It's surrounded by a shopping street, and it's really a great place to hide. As long as you drill into the crowd, even the best eyesight will lose the target in an instant. ”

Cao Cao thought about it, and suddenly ordered someone to take Ma Yuanyi's photos to various merchants to inquire one by one to see if he had seen Ma Yuanyi.

Then he took people to a nearby hotel to search for Ma Yuanyi's traces.

Not to mention, the search carried out here was really found by Cao Cao some clues.

In the vicinity of the shop, someone has indeed seen someone suspected of being Ma Yuanyi. It's just that the man was wearing a mask on his face and his hair was covered by a cotton hat. It's just that it looks like Ma Yuanyi from the figure!

But even so, there is still favorable evidence. Because of such a witness, combined with Liu Bei's words, it shows that it is very likely that there is a stronghold of their Yellow Turban University hidden in this vicinity. Because only in this way will Ma Yuanyi come to this vicinity as soon as he escapes.

So Cao Cao transferred more people to search near the West City Gate, and anyone who encountered a suspicious person, whether he was an undercover agent of the Yellow Turban University or not, would be caught in the interrogation room for interrogation. If the suspicion is ruled out, it will be released safely. Those who are not excluded will be kept in custody, and those who will not answer all the questions in the end will be strictly interrogated!

Luoyang City has a prosperous appearance of not closing its doors at night for a while, because those petty thieves and some ruffians have been restrained because of this martial law. As for those who did not relent, they were caught in the interrogation room and ruthlessly investigated!

And among them, Cao Cao did find some spies from Yellow Turban Universities. It's just that when asked about Ma Yuanyi, these people gritted their teeth and didn't let go.

Even the torture of beating the foot did not make them feel relieved, and Cao Cao had no choice but to temporarily detain them. And he continued to get people to increase the search near the West City Gate.

Until late at night, Cao Cao dragged his tired body back to the Cao family compound. Thinking that things were still making no progress, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Liu Bei Dianwei with a sullen face.

"Uh~! Captain Cao, what's wrong with you? Isn't there any difficulty? ”

"Alas! Liu Bei, according to your information, I sent people to search near the West City Gate, and I did find some undercover spies, but they were killed and refused to confess the information about Ma Yuanyi. I'm worried about these things! ”

After hearing this, Dian Wei on the side said disapprerovingly: "What should I do, it turns out that there is no problem with the interrogation!" You leave this matter to Brother Liu, and you will definitely be satisfied. You don't know, Brother Liu, he has never missed a hand in interrogating prisoners. No one will survive his punishment! ”

saw Cao Cao's eyes light up, "Liu Bei, is this true?" Have you really never missed? ”

Liu Bei smiled confidently and said softly: "I don't dare to say anything else, but the prisoner who fell into my hands has indeed not failed to confess the truth!" ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he didn't care about resting at the moment, and directly took Liu Bei to the interrogation room to interrogate the prisoner.

So, under Cao Cao's surprised gaze and a series of terrifying laughter, someone finally couldn't stand up to the punishment and exposed Ma Yuanyi's whereabouts.

Looking at the confession he had just gotten in his hand, Liu Bei said narcissistically in his heart: "This smile education I invented is really the most powerful!" I'm afraid that today, no one can survive my noble method of education! ”

It turned out that Ma Yuanyi was hiding in a mansion near the West City Gate, which was the back hand he left for himself, which was a specially prepared hiding place to prevent him from being wanted one day. It's just that there is a secret passage in the courtyard, so the people sent by Cao Cao did not search for it.

Cao Cao, who got Ma Yuanyi's hiding location, immediately led people to search for him, but when he led people into the secret passage, he found that Ma Yuanyi had long since disappeared, and only found a lost letter in the corner.

I saw that it was written: Cao boy, if you can find here, you can count how capable you are. But it's naïve to want to catch me! Leave you a note warning you not to meddle in the matter between me and Liu Bei, otherwise even if your Cao family compound is heavily guarded, I will go over to ask you for a lesson or two!

After reading the letter in his hand, Cao Cao angrily tore the note to shreds.

"Damn! This Ma Yuanyi is so rampant that he blatantly threatens me! I want to see how he forcibly broke into my Cao family's compound, and let him come back when the time comes! ”

Cao Cao finished speaking angrily, and with a wave of his hand, he led people away.

Back in the Cao family's compound, Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's gloomy face and knew that Ma Yuanyi must have not been caught. couldn't help but be relieved: "Captain Cao, but Ma Yuanyi is cunning and let him escape again?" ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "This hateful Ma Yuanyi not only ran away first, but also left a note to humiliate me. It's really infuriating!

It's been a day now, and the alliance leader asked me to capture him within three days. But just got a little news from him, and it was interrupted. This Ma Yuanyi is too cunning! ”

Cao Cao didn't mention Ma Yuanyi and asked him to leave Liu Bei and his grievances alone.

I saw Liu Bei suddenly stand up, paced back and forth in front of Cao Cao for a few minutes, and then suddenly said: "I have an idea, maybe I can lure Ma Yuanyi to take the initiative to show up." It's just that this method is a little careless, but it is very likely that he will get out of Luoyang City directly. I wonder if Captain Cao wants to hear it? ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and nodded immediately: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Then Liu Bei said his thoughts, and Cao Cao was silent for a while after listening to it. The method Liu Bei said is indeed very likely to lead to Ma Yuanyi's escape, but now the clues about Ma Yuanyi are interrupted, if this method is not used, then the whole city can only continue to search for him step by step.

After a long time, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei, the method you said is indeed a bit dangerous. Let me prepare for the day, and then it's not too late to carry out your plan after I have ordered someone to fetch something. And if we are lucky enough to catch Ma Yuanyi tomorrow, we don't need to use such a dangerous method! ”

Seeing Cao Cao say this, Liu Bei had no choice but to nod and say, "Then just wait for a day!" ”

So early the next morning, Cao Cao continued to lead people throughout the city to search for Ma Yuanyi, and asked people to bring a letter from him to his Cao family's secret research room.

And Liu Bei took Dian Wei to the four city gates one by one to see if Ma Yuanyi would still stare at him secretly.

It's just that maybe it was the incident last time that made Ma Yuanyi more vigilant, but Liu Bei never felt anyone peeping at him along the way.

In desperation, he had to concentrate on studying the layout of each city gate in order to study his plan to capture Ma Yuanyi.

Four city gates, the west gate is the most luxurious because of its proximity to the commercial street. The east gate is the most deserted, as it is a passage reserved for officials. And the south gate and the north gate are relatively ordinary, nothing special!

After studying for a day, Liu Bei, who had some insights in his heart, returned to the Cao family's compound and saw Cao Cao also dragging his tired body over.

"Alas! The day didn't come of it. It seems that you still have to do what you said, Brother Liu! ”
