Cao Xuan also paid attention to Cao Cao's look and dress, Cao Cao was already wearing armor at the moment, and the look on his face was a little flustered, as if he was going to enter the palace to do something.

Cao Xing's heart felt a little unfortunate, but he didn't expect that he was just about to come to visit Cao Cao, Cao Cao had something to enter the palace, in this case, he didn't bother Cao Cao much, but Cao Xing didn't expect that before he could say this, Cao Cao grabbed Cao Xing's arm, Cao Cao looked Cao up and down carefully, and Cao Xing was a little confused.

"What, what's wrong? Brother Mengde! ”

After a long while, Cao Cao said in disbelief: "Is Cao Xing really you?" How did you end up here! ”

"Oh, yesterday I went to the Cai family's mansion for a banquet, and I was going to leave Luoyang City today, but I wanted to visit Brother Meng De before leaving, what, Brother Meng De is in any hurry!"

However, Cao Cao frowned as soon as he heard this, he looked at Cao Xuan and said: "I know that Cai Yong sent you a banquet invitation, and invited you to his mansion to attend the banquet, I just came back from duty this morning, and I learned through my channels that you seem to have been arrested into the palace, and the crime seems to be that you slandered Dong Zhuo at the banquet, and you are going to be arrested in the palace and beheaded, when I heard the news, I immediately jumped up from the bed, ready to go to the palace to see what was going on, but I didn't expect you to appear here!" ”

Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled, although Cao Xuan did drink a lot yesterday, and all the good spirits prepared by Cai Yong's mansion were all good spirits, but Cao Xuan had a characteristic when drinking, that is, even if he was drunk, he had to maintain a high degree of sobriety.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Xuan did not enter the language trap of Yuan Shao and his two brothers yesterday, so Cao Xing can also be sure, although he was drunk yesterday, but he is still sober-minded, and he has never said anything to slander Dong Zhuo, I don't know how Cao Cao's news came from.

Cao Cao also felt very strange, he frowned and said: "Today, one of my henchmen just conveyed the news to me, saying that he saw you being carried directly into the palace gate by a group of guards!" ”

In this regard, Cao Xing could only say to Cao Cao that Cao Cao's news may have gone wrong, isn't he Cao Xuan doing well here? How could he be arrested in the palace for no reason?

Cao Xing just wanted to say that Cao Cao was too worried, but at this moment, his nerves jumped suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes immediately looked at Cao Cao, and asked, "Brother Meng De, I don't know when this happened today!" ”

"About three hours ago!" Cao Cao thought for a moment and said.

Three hours in ancient times, it was equivalent to half a day, and Cao Xing was still asleep in these three hours, but it may have been when he was sleeping, Luoyang had already undergone a little inexplicable change.

Cao Cao has also been operating in Luoyang for many years, although his status is now somewhat declining, but others want to inquire about a news, it is also a breeze, if it is really according to what Cao Cao said, then someone pretended to be Cao Xuan early this morning, entered the palace gate, and sent out the news to cut Cao Xing.

This kind of news will arouse anyone's nervous sensitivity the most, and that is undoubtedly Cao Xing's army stationed outside the city, thinking of this, Cao Xing's nerves jumped suddenly.

Cao Xuan punched the stone wall next to him, the stone wall trembled slightly twice, seeing this, Cao Cao was a little stunned, looking at Cao Xuan in a daze, and Cao Xuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth at the moment, he suddenly figured it out, entering this Luoyang, he Cao Xuan has been on guard, will he be plotted by others, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are two brothers in front of their eyes, Cao Xuan can be said to be a drop of water, so that the two of them have no loopholes to drill.

But Cao Xing forgot, although he guarded the two brothers Yuan Shao very well, but the two brothers of Yuan Shao had no need to attack Cao Xing at all, they could attack the people around Cao Xing, as long as the people around Cao Xing fell in, they were not afraid that Cao Xing would not join, they thought of this, Cao Xing only felt a tingling of the scalp.

"Brother Meng De, you have horses in your house, lend me one!"

Looking at the change in Cao Xing's face, Cao Cao also knew that something was definitely wrong this time, he didn't say a word, and immediately asked people to bring two fast horses, Cao Xuan immediately turned over and got on the horse, but before leaving, Cao Xuan suddenly turned around and said to Cao Cao as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Brother Meng De, thank you very much this time, but I don't want you to get involved in this matter!"

"Hey, Cao Xing, what are you talking about, if you really encounter something, how can I, Cao Cao, stand by and watch!"

Cao Cao was so upright, Cao Xuan was silent for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao again: "Since Brother Meng De is so upright, then I want to ask you to do me a favor!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned, and Cao Xuan didn't talk nonsense, he directly said a place and a person, and then rode away, Cao Cao looked at the back of Cao Xing's departure, and finally did not follow Cao Xing's footsteps and passed away, directly mobilized his soldiers and horses, and then quickly rushed in a certain direction.

Cao Xuan rode a fast horse and frantically rushed in the direction of the palace, just walking, Cao Xing, suddenly saw a large number of soldiers and horses in front of him slowly moving forward, the flag on it was still the banner of Xiliang, and the leader was none other than Li Ru.

Seeing Cao Xing's nerves, he was suddenly startled, and without saying a word, he directly beat his horse and whipped and stopped in front of the army.

Seeing that someone dared to intercept the way, someone in Li Ru's army immediately pulled out his sword and shouted loudly, but Cao Xing said to these people loudly and fearlessly, he wanted to see Li Ru. And people. Li Ru in the group also looked at Cao Xing in front of him, and after finding that it was indeed Cao Xing, he asked his subordinates not to act rashly, and then he walked up, looked at Cao Xing with a smile and asked Cao Xing what was the matter.

"Wen Xiansheng, Dong Zhuo is in danger!"

As soon as Li Ru heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, but he still asked calmly: "Hehe, I don't know where I heard these words from Brother Cao Xing!" ”

Cao Xuan looked at Li Ru's appearance, and obviously had some distrust of him, but now that the time was urgent, Cao Xuan didn't have time to say so much, so he said directly: "Wen Xiansheng, the reason why I told you this news is that firstly, I don't want Dong Zhuo to die like this, and secondly, I want to ask you to help me two things, now hurry into the palace, if you find that assassin, please spare his life, if I am not wrong, those troops outside my city are also confused, and please send someone to stop them all!" ”

Li Ru listened quietly to Cao Xing's statement, and his face began to become more and more serious.

Since Dong Zhuo monopolized power in the court, the whole person's temperament has changed a little, staying in the palace every day to have fun, stationing his army outside the city, it seems that he is confident that he has firmly controlled the palace by himself.

And what Cao Xing said today is exactly what Li Ru is worried about, Li Ru just led the troops to patrol every day, after hearing this, his nerves immediately tensed, I saw that he recruited a deputy general, whispered a few words in his ear, the deputy general got the order, immediately led the troops out of the city, and then Li Ru looked at Cao Xing and said.

"Cao Xing, I will remember everything you said, but I went here to protect the Taishi, and I didn't make any other plans, if you want to keep some people, you better go by yourself!"

Saying that, Li Ru ignored Cao Xing, waved his hand directly, and led everyone to rush towards the direction of the palace frantically, while Cao Xing stood in place in a daze at the moment, a little at a loss.

The whole thing went through in his mind, and at this moment he also figured it out, with the personalities of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, coupled with the grudges among the powerful people in the capital like Cao Xingyu, how could this matter be written off because of Cai Yong's words or two, those nobles still regarded Dong Zhuo as a thorn in the flesh, but they didn't dare to touch Dong Zhuo, so they used Cao Xing as a venting bucket.

They can't move Cao Xuan today, but they can choose the people around Cao Xuan to start and release fake news that Cao Xing will be arrested in the palace for slandering Dong Zhuo and beheaded.

This news may have reached Cao Xing's military camp early this morning, and of course Che Wu and the others did not do it.

It will take some time for Che Wu to dispatch troops, if someone goes out of the city to intercept at this moment, it should still be able to be stopped, but for Shi A, who was born in the rivers and lakes, there are not so many scruples, if Cao Xing's guess is correct, Shi A should have sneaked into the palace with his vigorous skills, thinking of this, Cao Xing's mind has a feeling of explosion.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, his mind began to spin rapidly, if Shi Ah was really as he imagined, then which way would Shi Ah go? The word Xuanmen suddenly popped up in Cao Xing's mind.

Shi A entered the palace to assassinate, it seems that it is not the first time to do this kind of thing, the assassination will definitely take the most familiar road, if Cao Xuan remembers correctly, the last time Shi A entered the palace from the direction of Xuanmen, thinking of this, Cao Xuan no longer hesitated, and hurriedly whipped his horse and chased in the direction of Xuanmen.

Before entering the palace, those guards in the palace watched Cao Xuan rushing over and wanted to stop Cao Xing, but Cao Xing ignored them, and even gave the door a whip, and scolded directly, I was ordered by the Taishi to go to the palace to report first, who dared to stop it, it didn't matter if I was killed, those guards were terrified when they heard Dong Zhuo's name, and Cao Xuan didn't care so much, he rushed in directly.

Along the way, Cao Xing was secretly praying, hoping that he could catch up with Shi A, as long as he could catch up with Shi A, I believe that this crisis can be solved.

Half an hour later, Cao Xuan finally rode a fast horse to the Xuanmen where he had been stationed, and he looked around and found that there was no one around.
