Chapter 130: Failed Assassination
Seeing Dong Zhuo's anger, Cao Cao suddenly laughed: "Dong Xiangguo, in fact, if you want to find a way to kill the two brothers, Cao Cao has an idea." ”
"Oh? Tell us about it! ”
Cao Cao then spoke: "Although the Yuan brothers rely on the shadow of their ancestors and have a grand reputation, in the final analysis, they are just two stinky dolls, Cao Cao has known their brothers since he was a child, and later worked with them in the West Garden, and he has been in charge of the West Garden Guards for many years, and he knows them well. ”
"Yuan Shao, scheming and indecisive, indecisive, unable to make a decision, hesitating, when the two armies faced each other, the fighter plane flashed by, Yuan Shao's temperament was very easy to lead to him, missed the opportunity, and led to his final defeat."
"Yuan Shu, a direct descendant of the Yuan family, was supposed to lead the Yuan clan in Runan, but he was pressed by Yuan Shao, who was a concubine, he is a good person, he is not a thing, he is so happy and boastful, and he is not half of Yuan Shao."
Cao Cao finally concluded: "Lord Xiangguo, if the Yuan brothers really have that day and lead the army to attack, they don't need to panic too much, just send a few generals, and they can beat their brothers crying dad and mother, hugging their heads and running away!" ”
"Oh? If this is the case, what Meng De said is really a relief from the sorrow in our family's hearts for many days! ”
Dong Zhuoyou turned his worries into joy, his joy and anger were colorful, and the expressions on his face were colorful, and he looked at Cao Cao stunned for a moment.
Before he could say a few words, Dong Zhuo suddenly yawned and said to Cao Cao: "Hey, Luoyang, a place where birds don't, nothing else, the weather is so hot for birds, it's not good, our family is going to sleep in the inner room for a while, Meng De, please take care of yourself." ”
After that, Dong Zhuo stood up and slowly walked into the inner room, and it didn't take long for him to even snore, and Cao Cao looked left and right, and there was no one around.
Flame Heaven had already left Xiangguo's Mansion to choose a war horse for Cao Cao, and he shouldn't be back so soon in a short time.
And Dong Zhuo talked to him secretly about some things, and he had already retreated, with Dong Zhuo's violent temper, no one would take the initiative to come without opening his eyes, and he couldn't wait to stay away from Dong Zhuo.
At that moment, Cao Cao moved his steps and cautiously walked into the inner room, the closer he got to Dong Zhuo's sleeping couch, the louder he could hear the snoring, which was deafening.
Cao Cao called softly a few times, Dong Zhuo did not react, and even turned over and turned his back to Cao Cao.
Staring at Dong Zhuo's back, it was really a godsend, Cao Cao said that Yuan Shao was indecisive and hesitant, and it was very easy to miss the opportunity, and he Cao Cao would not be like this.
With a fierce light in his eyes, Cao Cao suddenly took out a treasure knife from his arms, which was the seven-star treasure knife handed over to him by Wang Yun, which was a short knife a little longer than a dagger, and gently pulled the knife out of the sheath, Cao Cao bent on his waist and approached Dong Zhuo.
At the moment, it is the afternoon of September, it is the hottest time of the day, the weather is hot, the sun is dazzling, the Seven Star Treasure Knife is really well forged, the blade actually reflects the sunlight, and reflects on the bronze mirror on the inside of Dong Zhuo's sleeping couch!
The sword flashed, flashing Dong Zhuo's fat face, Dong Zhuo was awakened violently, and immediately turned his head, and saw Cao Cao's face with a fierce light, holding a seven-star treasure knife approaching him!
Dong Zhuo was frightened and shouted, "Meng De! ”
"What are you doing?!"
Cao Cao was stunned that Dong Zhuo actually sensed the danger, and at this time he was in a dilemma, he was just about to forcibly stab Dong Zhuo to death with a knife, but his ears trembled and he heard footsteps coming in from outside.
It's... Dong Zhuo's shout aroused the vigilance of the soldiers outside!
Cao Cao had an idea, his gloomy face flashed, and he changed it to a respectful look, and then he turned his wrist, held up the seven-star treasure knife with both hands, raised the treasure knife above his head, knelt down on one knee and said: "Dong Xiangguo, Cao Cao recently obtained a divine weapon, called the Seven Star Treasure Knife, which is rumored to be cast by the cadres and Mo Xie, and specially came to dedicate the divine weapon to Xiangguo!" ”
Cao Cao lowered his eyebrows, his head was lowered, his back was wet with cold sweat, and he roared in his heart, he must not be discovered! Gotta Live!
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was cold, and he wanted to see through Cao Cao's move, but at the position of the handle of the Seven Star Treasure Knife, a red gem suddenly emitted a dazzling light under the sun, completely attracting Dong Zhuo's attention.
He immediately got up from his bed, hurriedly snatched the Seven Star Treasure Sword from Cao Cao's hand, and placed it in the sun, admiring the seven gems of different colors inlaid on it.
The more I looked at it, the more I couldn't put it down, Dong Zhuo was extremely satisfied: "Well, good knife, good knife!" ”
Dong Zhuo was satisfied, laughed and helped up Cao Cao, who was still kneeling: "Meng De, this treasure knife you offer is indeed a divine soldier, you... Attentively! ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and said respectfully: "Thank you Lord Xiangguo for your false praise, Cao Cao just did a good thing." ”
"Well, yes, yes."
When Dong Zhuo was admiring the Seven-Star Treasure Sword, Flame Heaven finally walked in from outside and said, "A certain has already fallen in love with a high-quality war horse for Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you can go out and have a look." ”
Cao Cao said happily: "Thank you! ”
"I'll go out and try to ride a warhorse."
Immediately, he left immediately, as soon as he walked out of Xiangguo's mansion, he saw a war horse covered in pitch black and shiny, quite a divine horse, Cao Cao turned over and got on the horse, shook the reins in his hand, and immediately rode the war horse away quickly.
In the mansion, Dong Zhuo told Flame Heaven about Cao Cao's sacrifice of the knife, and Flame Heaven frowned fiercely: "Cao Apu, that kid, according to a certain opinion, it doesn't look like he came to offer a knife, but more like he came to assassinate Lord Xiangguo!" ”
"Huh? Flame Days, why do you say that? ”
Flame Heaven replied: "Since it is a sacrifice of the sword, why didn't Cao Cao take the initiative to offer it in the first place?" Do you have to wait until Lord Xiangguo is resting, and suddenly comes out from behind? ”
"Moreover, since Lord Xiangguo entered the government, during this period of time, he has encountered several groups of assassins in a row, all of whom pretended to be unknown people such as subordinates and small servants around him, and it is impossible for a celebrity like Cao Cao to suddenly assassinate, which shows that the hostile forces of Xiangguo have become stronger!"
Flame Heaven analyzed 2 points in a row, piercing Dong Zhuo's heart, the more he reminisced about Flame Tian's words, the more he felt that it was possible, and suddenly scolded: "Straight thief!" ”
"It's a shame that our family has always cared about Cao Cao and cared for him, he, he actually dared to assassinate our family!"
Dong Zhuo's eyes rolled, patted his head, and shouted: "Not good! ”
Flame Tianqi said: "Lord Xiangguo, what's wrong with you?" ”
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "War horse! ”
"Cao Cao's guy ran out to try riding a war horse, can't he just ride a war horse out of Luoyang?"
"You quickly send someone out, close the city gate, and look for Cao Cao!"
Flame Heaven nodded and said, "If Cao Cao rides a war horse and never returns, then it means that he is really here to assassinate Lord Xiangguo!" ”
Half a day later, the city gate order reported: "Half an hour ago, Cao Cao had already rushed out of the city on a war horse, and the city gate guards couldn't stop him." ”
"Damn!"
Dong Zhuo wanted to get more and more angry, but he couldn't catch Cao Cao, so he could only shift the target, and said: "It seems that recently, our family has left a bad impression on these civil and military officials in the court. ”
"They thought that our family would not touch them, and today, our family will go on a killing spree!".
After that, he ordered his subordinates to call all the civil and military officials over and gather at the Luoyang campus, and Flame Heaven rushed up and said: "Lord Xiangguo, I suddenly remembered, isn't that seven-star treasure knife the family heirloom sword of Situ Wang Yun?" ”
Dong Zhuo's eyelids twitched: "Give him to our family and arrest him!" ”
