Sitting and watching the pedestrians coming and going, Guo Jia couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, so he had to use wine to vent the depression in his heart.

"Fengxiao, since you are so reluctant, why do you have to set off in a hurry?" Xun Yu, who was sitting opposite him, was a little puzzled.

"I'm not in a hurry. The reason why the lord saw me late at night was because His Majesty went to see him late at night. The lord must have sensed His Majesty's anxiety. ”

"If the situation is really so urgent, then you and I will leave ...... at this time"

"Gongda is by the side of the lord, as long as the four sages and old Zhang Jian don't make a stupid move, it won't be anything. Besides, even if he did it, Zhong Kang would not let people get close to the lord casually. ”

"Then why are you and I in such a hurry?"

"It's not a long-term plan, Wen Ruo. I'm not afraid of them doing it, I'm afraid that after they do it, other people who don't like the lord will also take the opportunity to make trouble. ”

"Then why do you want to go to him!" This is what Xun Yu is really upset about, because the person they want to see on their secret eastward trip this time is Duan Xuan.

"What? You were the one who introduced him in the first place, but now why are you so annoying to him? ”

"Humph!" There is no need for Xun Yu to answer, Guo Jia is just idle to tease him.

This is probably Xun Yu's biggest self-reproach in his life, and he actually introduced Duan Xuan to Cao Cao.

Seeing that Xun Yu no longer spoke, Guo Jia knew that he couldn't make fun of him anymore, so he had to explain: "There are some things that we can't come forward with. There are three reasons to find him: first, he has been in Yefeng for many years and knows their style best; Both, this white is a matter of Yefeng after all, let him solve it; The three ......"

Xun Yu found that Guo Jia had paused, so he turned his head to look at him.

But Guo Jia's eyes at this time made him feel that he didn't know this person at all - cold and ruthless.

"The three, you can also use this matter to test Duan Xuan."

"What do you mean......"

"Just look at his choice, whether he is on the side of the lord or the side of the night forward."

"But if he chooses Yefeng......" Xun Yu didn't finish speaking, because from Guo Jia's confident appearance, he already knew the answer.

This person is even more terrifying than Duan Xuan.

He had already thought of a countermeasure, and the reason why he was looking for Duan Xuan was just to test him.

As for dealing with the four sages and Concubine Dong, Guo Jia didn't expect Duan Xuan to succeed at all.

Guo Fengxiao......

There is an opportunity in any difficult situation.

Xun Yu couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart - fortunately, this person did not fall under the account of the lord's opponent, otherwise, it would be too terrible.

——————————————————

Although Guo Jia and Xun Yu were worried, they didn't know what happened at this time.

In fact, Cao Cao had already been ambushed once.

However, due to the escort of Xu Chu and others, most of the assassins had been killed, leaving only a few alive.

At this time, Xu Chu was tying them to a stake and whipping them, wanting to ask the master.

Several of the Assassins had been beaten to a bloody pulp, and their clothes were all torn, and the reason why they did not fall off was only because they were stained with blood.

"Say! Who have you been commanded to? Xu Chu picked up the leather whip again, and the strong strength was matched with the leather whip soaked in cold water, and the feeling of hitting his body was unbearable for ordinary people.

However, several of the Assassins were surprisingly hard-mouthed and refused to say anything.

Xu Chu raised his arm again, but was held down.

"My lord?" Xu Chu turned around and found that Cao Cao had come over at some point.

"How?"

"These thieves are hard-mouthed."

Cao Cao let go of the hand holding Xu Chu and came to the bound assassin.

He slowly swept past each of them, examining their countenances one by one.

You're still young......

"The hearts of several protectors, Cao admires. It's just that a few of you have ever thought that you are just a pawn of others, even if you die, the Lord will not care too much about others, at most find a few more assassins. And the lives of several people ended here, and they didn't even leave their names. ”

"Phew! …… Cao Cao! You...... Controlled the dynasty and put His Majesty under house arrest in ...... Xu Du, how is it different from Dong Zhuo? A man who appeared to be the leader spoke.

"Oh, that's what the Lord said. Those few might as well tell Cao, how do I control the court? And why do you say that I have placed Your Majesty under house arrest? As for Dong Zhuo...... I have said that Hugh will compare me to this man. When I assassinated him back then, I had already made it clear that I had taken a different path from him Dong Zhongying. ”

"Humph! You claim to be a supporter, but you are all in the name of the Son of Heaven to send troops to conquer and eradicate dissidents. If you want to kill, you will kill, and we will never bow our heads! ”

There was a trace of sadness in Cao Cao's eyes.

Wrong! What kind of misdirection is it that makes these people so determined?

He glanced at the men again.

The youngest, I'm afraid it's not as big as Cao Angda......

Thinking of Cao Ang, Cao Cao's heart was even more painful.

"Kill it......" The short moment of conversation had already made Cao Cao a little tired.

Xu Chu never hesitated about Cao Cao's orders. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers beside him untied several of the Assassins and pushed them to their knees.

The shadow of the knife swept away, and several heads fell to the ground.

Cao Cao closed his eyes, tilted his head and took a deep breath.

"My lord, the assassin has been executed."

Cao Cao nodded, in response.

"Lord...... Is there something on your mind? ”

Cao Cao turned his head and smiled, if everyone in the world could be like Xu Chu, maybe it would have been peaceful a long time ago.

"Wait for Wen Ruo and them to come back......"

Yes, now I only hope that they can bring Duan Xuan back and put an end to this matter.

"Lord, Xu Chu has always wanted to ask, why did Feng Xiao go to Duan Xuan in person?"

"Hehe, with Zimo's temper, only if he goes, can he be invited back."
