Chapter Ninety-Five
"In that case, I will shoot it myself." After a long pause in the extremely embarrassing atmosphere, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty finally spoke.
It happened that a mountain deer passed by, about fifty steps away from Liu Xie. Liu Xie raised the treasure eagle bow, put on the golden arrow, resisted the urge to turn the arrow towards Cao Cao, and shot an arrow at the mountain deer.
The arrow landed on the grass a few feet in front of the deer's head and missed.
Liu Xie's heart was depressed, and he shot two arrows in succession, but they all missed.
"But shoot it out of the air!" Seeing this, Liu Xie said to Cao Cao angrily.
The size of the mountain deer is relatively large among many prey, and the distance of fifty steps is not particularly far, so it stands to reason that even if the archery skills are mediocre, all three opportunities will not be wasted. Now that all the three arrows are shot in the air, Liu Xie, who is the Son of Heaven, has completely lost face. In this case, he can only let Cao Cao shoot his deer again, and then hope that Cao Cao will not be able to shoot either, so that he can still dismiss some face.
Of course, this can only be a self-soothing thought. Although Cao Cao's archery skills are not good, they are not too bad, and just now he also shot a hare. Shooting a deer at a distance of fifty paces is not very difficult for him.
"May your majesty use a bow and arrow." Cao Cao opened his mouth and said to Emperor Han, looking at the posture, it was clear that it meant "If you don't give me the treasure carving bow and golden arrows, I won't shoot".
Liu Xie saw that Cao Cao wanted to ask for the treasure carving bow and golden arrows by himself, although he was unhappy, he still handed over the bow and arrow in his hand to him.
Cao Cao tightened the bowstring and shot an arrow, right on the back of the mountain deer. The mountain deer screamed and fell to the ground and died.
The ministers in the distance did not know what was happening on the side of Cao Cao and the Han Emperor, and when they saw the golden arrow inserted in the back of the deer, they all thought that it was shot by the Son of Heaven himself, so they all bowed and shouted long live in the direction of the Han Emperor.
At the same time, Cao Cao slowly rode out and sheltered himself in front of the Son of Heaven to greet the courtiers.
Seeing that Cao Cao dared to be speechless to such an extent, everyone was shocked, and Emperor Han gritted his teeth behind Cao Cao, eager to pull out the sword on his waist and stab Cao Cao in the heart.
Xun Yu's face turned pale when he saw all this. Could it be that between Cao Cao and the Han family, it has really reached the point where there is no incompatibility, so where should he go?
Guan Yu had already frowned at this time, and his right hand holding the Qinglong Glaive Knife was trembling continuously, obviously angry to the extreme.
I saw that he pulled the horse rope lightly, obviously preparing to leap out of the horse, and split Cao Cao into two with a knife.
And Zhang Fei on the side was also angry, ready to rush out with his second brother and take Cao Cao's head.
Liu Bei noticed the abnormality of his two righteous brothers, and hurriedly glanced at them again and again, telling them not to be impulsive. When Guan and Zhang saw Liu Bei's hint, they could only hold back the stuffiness in their chests and did not dare to act rashly.
"Superb marksmanship." Liu Xie was probably already churning in his body at this time, but he had no choice but to squeeze out a smile on his face and congratulate Cao Cao.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings!" Cao Cao laughed. Later, I saw him hanging the bow of the treasure carving from the belt and not returning it to the Son of Heaven.
Liu Xie originally waited for Cao Cao to return the treasure carving bow to himself, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao took the things used by the emperor as his own, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"You!" Liu Xie pointed at Cao Cao, and the abusive words had already spit out to his mouth, but he couldn't spray it.
What's so scary! No matter how arrogant he Cao Cao is, he is just my courtier after all, I don't believe it, scold him a few words, he still dares to rebel!
Although he encouraged himself like this, Liu Xie just couldn't make a sound from his mouth.
"What else does Your Majesty have to say?" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie with a smile. But in the eyes of Emperor Han, that smile was a little chilly.
"No, it's okay, please take care of yourself." Although he shouted in his heart countless times, such as "scold him and tell him to return the treasure carving bow to me", in the end, what came out of Liu Xie's mouth was just such a weak sentence.
————————————————————————————————
"That Cao thief deceived the king, there is no discipline, I want to kill him, for the country, why should the eldest brother stop it!" The hunt was over, and the ministers went home. At this time, in the side hall of General Zuo's mansion, Guan Yuzheng was full of confusion and asked Liu Bei.
Liu Bei sighed and said slowly: "Cao Cao, the traitor of the country, I also want to get rid of it quickly, but I have no choice but to cast a mouse trap." At that time, Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven were only one head apart, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei were guarding him. Second brother, you have just recovered from your major injury, and your strength has not fully recovered, even if you combine the strength of your two brothers, in that case, I am afraid you will not be able to complete the work. If it was just that Cao Cao couldn't be killed, it would be a big deal for the three brothers to be harmed. But if it affects the Son of Heaven, we will be unable to escape the blame for our death! ”
Liu Bei burst into tears at this time, which was quite infectious. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei only said that they cared about the safety of the Son of Heaven, and they sighed again and again at the moment.
"By the way, Gongtai, Cao Thief suddenly held a field hunt, what do you think he meant?" Liu Bei pretended to be sad for a while, and then asked Chen Gongdao on the side.
Chen Gong is now Liu Bei's mastermind. Liu Bei will not snub Chen Gong like Lu Bu, on the contrary, he has always attached great importance to Chen Gong. Liu Bei's ministers, such as Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others, were all good at political affairs and inferior to strategy, so Liu Bei had long lacked a role that could advise him. The arrival of Chen Gong made up for this vacancy very well.
"Cao Thief's move is nothing more than two purposes, one is to establish authority, and the other is to test the hearts of the ministers and investigate dissidents." Hearing this, Chen Gong replied, "If you don't expect to leave the palace, the lord's actions in recent days have aroused the suspicion of Cao Thief. And when Tian was hunting, although the lord stopped the movements of the two generals, Guan and Zhang, the demeanor and expression of the two of them must have fallen into the eyes of Cao Thief's personal servants, and Cao Thief's vigilance against the lord will definitely be further deepened, and I am afraid that there will be some action next......"
"So what do I do now?" When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Although he is now the emperor's uncle, if Cao Cao really wants to insist on dealing with himself, although it will be a little troublesome, it will not be too difficult after all.
Liu Bei knows the truth of employing people without doubt, and he knows that Chen Gong is an upright person, so he trusts Chen Gong very much. As long as it is a suggestion made by Chen Gong, he will generally adopt it.
"The best thing to do...... It's self-staining. Chen Gong said after a slight sigh, "After Cao Thief's Lu Bu family, he has never disposed of it. The lord can make a message to the thief and ask for the sable cicada. ”
"What!?" Liu Bei's eyes widened, obviously frightened by Chen Gongcai's words.
