Chapter 17: Assassination of Dong

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter, and Situ Wang Yun and the others all looked at Cao Cao.

"This young general, what are you laughing at", Wang Yun looked at the person in front of him strangely, he didn't remember that he had invited him to the table, and he had never seen him in the court.

"Under Cao Cao Cao Mengde", Cao Cao walked to the middle of the banquet hall, looked around, and saluted.

And the people in the audience exploded, and it became very chaotic in an instant, the news of Cao Cao's defection to Dong Zhuo, others may not know, but as the minister of the court, everyone knows that Cao Cao also mixed in if he didn't come to this banquet, doesn't it mean that he listened to the content discussed just now, and if he told Dong Zhuo, they would be worried about their lives.

"Traitor, you're not welcome here, get out", someone stood up and rebuked.

Even in the current situation, this group of ministers only scolded Cao Cao to leave.

"The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, the pillar of the Han Dynasty, actually talked about Dong Zhuo's change of style, which really disappointed Cao Cao", Cao Cao looked at the frightened minister in front of him, and was very disappointed, he just wanted to make a contribution now, so that everyone in the world could know him.

But the situation in front of him disappointed Cao Cao, a group of ministers were submissive, a little bit of wind and grass, like a frightened rabbit, panicked, is this the big man he wants to be loyal to.

"You Cao Mengde have been someone else's lackey, and you are still here to mock us, and you are here to show off your might", another minister was angry with Cao Cao's humiliation and stood up to mock Cao Cao.

"Who in the world can understand my Cao Cao's hard work, I just pretended to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, so that I could get close to him, find a good opportunity, and remove this big trouble for my Han Dynasty", Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, pretending to be very sad, and said a lot, which means that you misunderstood me, I Cao Cao is a loyal minister, if Liu Yi is here, I will definitely not be able to help laughing, but today sitting here is a group of sour Confucians.

When the ministers present heard Cao Cao's remarks, they looked at each other and didn't believe it.

"You really weren't sent by Dong Zhuo", Wang Yun believed a little and asked.

"If I was sent by Dong Zhuo, I would just pass the news to Dong Zhuo directly after the banquet, why stand up and endure your insults again, maybe my life is in danger", Cao Cao looked like he was digging out his heart and lungs, and he was deeply affectionate, and the ministers present believed it a little.

"Brother Meng De Gaoyi, he actually went deep into the tiger's den and lurked in Dong Zhuo's old thief", Wang Yun praised, after knowing that Cao Cao was not sent by Dong Zhuo, the anger on the field was much easier, and everyone praised him with a smile.

"Cao Cao's heart is to the Han Dynasty, and it is incumbent on him to serve my Han Dynasty", Cao Cao said with a fanatical face, and those who didn't know really thought he was a loyal courtier.

"I don't know what Meng De found during his days in Dong Zhuo", Wang Yun hurriedly asked, and now his confidence in getting rid of Dong Zhuo has increased a little more.

"Dong Zhuo takes a lunch break every day, and Dong Zhuo has no defense against me, at that time, as long as Cao Cao enters with a sharp weapon and stabs the knife into Dong Zhuo's chest, Dong Zhuo will die", Cao Cao said confidently.

"But will Meng De still be able to run by then", Wang Yun asked worriedly, although he really wanted Cao Cao to go, but as a great Confucian, he had to pretend to think about everything for their sake.

"As long as you can get rid of Dong Zhuo and save my Han Sheji, what can you do if Cao Cao's life is sacrificed", Cao Cao said as if he was dead, and the ministers present were shocked.

"Meng De Gaoyi, I have a seven-star treasure knife, it is very sharp, you can use the excuse to go to see Dong Zhuo with a knife, after killing him, maybe you can still run", Wang Yun said bitterly, the seven-star treasure knife is his family's ancestral weapon, sharpening iron like clay.

"Okay, Cao Cao will live up to your expectations, you just wait for the news of Dong Zhuo's death."

This banquet was really a pleasure for the guests and hosts, and then they kept touting Cao Cao, and they hit it off, Cao Cao gained fame, they got rid of Dong Zhuo, and they all calculated each other.

After the banquet was dispersed, Cao Cao stayed in Wang Yun's house, Wang Yun took out the seven-star treasure knife slowly, he knew that this give, no matter whether it was successful or not, the knife could not belong to him, this knife, from tonight, has been 'stolen', Cao Cao took the knife, touched it, and cut it to the table next to him.

"Good knife, good knife, Wang Situ Dayi, Meng De has taken his leave first, wait for my good news", after Cao Cao got the knife, he boasted about him and left.

……

Liu Yi also heard about the banquet at Wang Situ's house last night, he knew that tomorrow was Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Cheng, and he fled in a hurry, and he planned in his heart, whether to help him and let Emperor Wei Wu owe him a personal favor, which is quite interesting.

Cao Cao went to Dong Zhuo's mansion as usual the next day, but there was a knife hidden in his arms, a murderous knife.

When he arrived at Dong Zhuo's door, the doorman did not stop him, and easily walked to Dong Zhuo's bedroom, and saw Dong Zhuo sleeping there, Cao Cao whispered tentatively.

"Xiangguo, Xiangguo"

didn't get a response, he quietly came to Dong Zhuo's side.

Slowly pulling out the Seven Star Treasure Knife, who would have expected that because the knife was too sharp, the reflected light just shone on Dong Zhuo's eyes.

Dong Zhuo opened his eyes in a daze, and was startled when he saw a knife in front of him, and when he looked closely, Cao Cao was kneeling and holding the knife with both hands.

"Cao Cao accidentally got a treasure knife some time ago, sharpened iron like clay, and came to present it to the prime minister", Cao Cao had some thin sideburns, and said calmly.

"Oh, sharpen iron like clay, bring it over and I'll take a look", Dong Zhuo was attracted by Cao Cao's description, completely ignoring what Cao Cao was doing here while he was napping.

"Yes, Sangkook"

After offering the knife without danger, Cao Cao came out of Dong Zhuo's mansion, breathed a sigh of relief, turned the corner, and immediately started running, he knew that Dong Zhuo would soon suspect him, and Luoyang should not stay for a long time.

As he ran, he saw a young man in white in front of him, smiling, leading a white horse.

After walking in, I found that it was Liu Yi and Liu Ziang, Cao Cao was not in the mood to say hello, and was about to staggered to continue running.

"Brother Meng De, the journey is far away, and the manpower will eventually be exhausted, Yi has prepared a good horse for you, be careful in everything, cherish it", Liu Yi stopped Cao Cao, and without waiting for him to speak, he handed the horse rope to Cao Cao, and left without looking back.

Cao Cao was shocked in his heart at this time, looking at Liu Yi's appearance, he should have waited here for a long time, he knew that he would not succeed in stabbing Dong I would run, and he also knew where I would run, Liu Yi's figure became much more unfathomable, but time did not allow him to think too much, Cao Cao rode on the horse sent by Liu Yi, galloped up on the horse, and rode away.
