Cao Cao, who was already about to make a move, was suddenly frightened half to death by Dong Zhuo's exclamation, and the treasure knife in his hand was hurriedly put back into the sheath.

"Lord Xiangguo, the villain is fortunate to have a treasure knife, and he specially came here to present the knife to the adult!" Seeing that Dong Zhuo had already sat up, Cao Cao was in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and lied that he was here to offer a knife.

Dong Zhuo, who was in a daze, didn't care about Cao Cao's panicked expression at this time, and shouted after a few clicks, "Haha~ It turned out to be Meng De!" What sword? Present it to our family! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao hurriedly handed over the seven-star knife in his hand.

Dong Zhuo took the seven-star knife, pulled it out, and after a brief look, he shouted happily, "Oops! What a sword! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he saw that Dong Zhuo hadn't discovered his abnormality yet, so he hurriedly said, "It's good that Lord Xiangguo can like it!" Since the knife arrived, the subordinates took their leave! ”

Dong Zhuo saw that Cao Cao was so anxious to leave, so he hurriedly said, "Zhongde, why don't you take a sip of tea and leave?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" Fang Cai's subordinates were in a hurry to offer knives to the adults, and there were still some urgent matters in the house that had not been dealt with. Please allow your subordinates to go back and take care of it, and then come and say hello to your lordship! ”

Dong Zhuo was still immersed in the joy of getting the treasure knife at this time, so he didn't think much about it.

"Alright! Then we won't keep you much! ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo relieved, Cao Cao hurriedly bowed, then got up and hurriedly ran out of Dong's mansion.

As soon as Cao Cao came out of Dong's mansion, he ran out of the city.

Cao Cao had just run in front of Daoyi Hutong when he suddenly pulled him into the alley with a big hand.

The sudden change gave Cao Cao a start, and he was about to resist, but he saw that the person who grabbed him was Liu Yi. Then he said to Liu Yi in a panic, "Brother Yi, the assassination has been revealed!" You and I get out of the city! ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Yi did not make any surprised expressions, but stuffed the reins of the war horse behind him into Cao Cao's hand.

"Meng De, you go first, I still have something to do!" Liu Yi refused.

"Oh, I said Brother Yi! It's all about saving your life now! If there's anything you want to do later, let's wait until later! Cao Cao tried his best to dissuade Liu Yidao.

Hearing this, Liu Yi shook his head and did not speak, but helped Cao Cao onto the horse with force.

Seeing this, Cao Cao sighed, and then stopped advising Liu Yi, and rode his horse to run out of the city.

Seeing Cao Cao walking away, Liu Yi stayed in the alley for a while, feeling that Cao Cao was almost out of the city, so he straightened his clothes and walked towards Dong's mansion.

......

Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, but Xi Zhicai's side perfectly put Li Ru in trouble.

I saw that Li Ru and Xi Zhicai were drinking tea in a small teahouse on the side of the road at this time.

"Master Li, I'm glad to have you today! If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I don't know how many more wrongful roads I would have to take! Xi Zhicai drank tea and looked at Li Ru with a grateful face.

Li Ru on the side laughed twice when he heard this, and then checked the gold and silver that Xi Zhi gave him just now. I thought, "If it weren't for your money, Lao Tzu wouldn't bother to pay attention to you!" ”

Two people

After drinking tea, Xi Zhi saw that the time was almost up, so he said goodbye to Li Ru.

I saw Xi Zhicai leading the guards behind him, turning the road a few times, and then disappeared into the lively crowd.

Seeing that Xi Zhicai and the others were gone, Li Ru called the guards around him and continued to walk towards the palace.

......

"Is Sangkoku-sama here?"

At this time, Liu Yi had already come to the Dong Mansion, and after seeing the little guard beside him, Liu Yi stepped forward and asked.

The little guy who guarded the door saw that it was Liu Yi, and replied respectfully, "Back to Lord Liu's words, Lord Xiangguo and General Lu are discussing in the inner hall!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly walked towards the inner hall.

Before Liu Yi walked into the inner hall, he heard Lu Bu's exclamation from inside: "Father-in-law, this knife is really a treasure knife!" Xiao'er has been under Ding Yuan for so many years, and he has never seen such a sharp weapon! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi knew that Dong Zhuo must be showing the seven-star treasure knife with Lu Buxian, and after sneering in his heart, he walked quickly towards the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw Dong Zhuo sitting happily on the bed, while Lu Bu was standing beside him and playing with the seven-star knife.

"I've seen Lord Xiangguo and General Lu!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo and the others looked out of the door and saw that it was Liu Yi, Dong Zhuo warmly beckoned to Liu Yi and said, "Come here!" We've got a baby for you to see! ”

Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly pretended to be surprised and walked briskly towards the two of them.

As soon as he walked to Dong Zhuo's side, he saw Dong Zhuo take the seven-star knife from Lu Bu's hand and hand it to Liu Yi.

"How about taking a look at the sword we just obtained?" Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Yi with an upstart-like expression.

Liu Yi took the knife, looked at it thoughtfully, and then praised it aggressively.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was choked by Liu Yi's hypocritical praise, he held his palms and laughed.

"Lord Xiangguo, where did you get this knife?" Seeing Dong Zhuo finish smiling, Liu Yi asked knowingly.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he said proudly, "This knife is a gift from Meng De!" ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Liu Yi suddenly made a surprised expression.

"Huh? Gifted by Brother Mengde? My subordinates saw Brother Meng De just now! I didn't hear him talk about it! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he said disapprerovitously, "Meng De said that there was something in his house and he was in a hurry to go back, so he probably didn't say much to you!" ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he hurriedly leaned over and said to Dong Zhuo, "My lord, Brother Meng De just told you that he was in trouble?" ”

Dong Zhuo, who was still smug just now, saw that Liu Yi's expression was wrong, and immediately asked with some straight colors, "That's right!" That's what he told us! What's wrong? ”

Then, I saw Liu Yi think for a while, and then said to Dong Zhuo with a difficult face, "Don't hide it, sir, when my subordinates saw Brother Meng De just now, Brother Meng De left in a very hurry, saying that you sent him out of the city to do business." So the subordinates didn't dare to ask more. I don't know why this Brother Meng De wants to deceive his subordinates? Saying that, Liu Yi made a puzzled look.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately frowned in surprise.

"Huh? Meng De is out of town? ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "When I saw him just now, he hadn't left the city yet

, but it should be out of town by now! ”

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes and began to recall the scene when Cao Cao offered the knife before.

Thinking about it like this, Dong Zhuo suddenly found the clue.

"Not good! This kid said he was offering a knife, but he actually came to assassinate our family! Dong Zhuo patted the jade pillow next to the bed and shouted.

Without waiting for Lu Bu and Liu Yi to speak, Dong Zhuo hurriedly got up and pointed at Lu Bu and ordered, "Fengxian, you immediately take someone out of the city to chase Cao Cao back for me!" ”

"Yes!" After Lu Bu answered, he immediately ran quickly outside the mansion.

As soon as Lu Bu left, he saw Dong Zhuo angrily and began to scold Cao Cao.

"This traitor! It's a waste of our family trusting him so much on weekdays! He dared to plot to assassinate our family, and when he was caught, Lao Tzu must draw his tendons and his blood! ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo's thunderous appearance, Liu Yi was secretly refreshed in his heart.

"Lord Xiangguo, that Cao Cao has always been cunning, General Lu is afraid that it will be difficult to recover it alone, and his subordinates are willing to take the guards in the palace to chase after General Lu together, and promise to arrest that Cao Cao back for you when the time comes!"

Dong Zhuo, who was angry at this time, didn't see Liu Yi's careful thinking at all, he only thought that Liu Yi was helping him, so he agreed to Liu Yi without thinking about it.

Seeing this, Liu Yi bowed to Dong Zhuo, then turned around and ran outside Dong's mansion.

Because he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would change his mind temporarily, Liu Yi walked in a hurry, just keeping his head down and running quickly, not caring if there was anyone in front of him.

Just when Liu Yi was about to step out of the gate of the Dong Mansion, suddenly Liu Yi stumbled and collided with a person.

"Lord Liu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly looked up and saw that it was Jia Xu, so Liu Yi simply told Jia Xu what had just happened.

After speaking, without waiting for Jia Xu's reaction, Liu Yi snatched the reins from Jia Xu's hand.

"Mr. Jia, you will borrow this horse for use first, and when you come back later, you will definitely return the horse to Xia!"

After speaking, Liu Yi turned over and was about to slip away. Seeing this, Jia Xu behind him grabbed Liu Yi's trouser leg.

"Mr. Jia, what are you doing here? Are you still short of a horse? Besides, I've said it all, I'll pay you back when I get back later! Liu Yi looked at Jia Xu anxiously and shouted.

I saw that Jia Xu did not let go because of Liu Yi's words, but stepped forward and solemnly whispered to Liu Yi, "Lord Liu can return this time when he goes out of the city?" ”

Liu Yi, who was still holding Jia Xu's hand, immediately stiffened when he heard this, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes when he looked at Jia Xu.

Although the horror in Liu Yi's eyes was only for a moment, it was still captured by the keen Jia Xu.

I saw Jia Xu looking at Liu Yi thoughtfully, and Liu Yi also looked at Jia Xu with a cloudy expression.

After the two were deadlocked for a while, just when Liu Yi was about to pull out his knife and cut Jia Xu before running, the hand holding Liu Yi's trouser leg suddenly let go.

"Alas~ Lord Liu's heart, I already understand it below!"

After sighing, I saw Jia Xu look at Liu Yi sternly and said, "I just hope that my lordship will not forget that day."

The promise of the government! ”

After speaking, Jia Xu turned around and walked into the Dong Mansion.

Jia Xu's sudden change stunned Liu Yi, but this matter was not a good time to be in a daze, Liu Yi didn't think much about it, and quickly rushed to the mansion on horseback.

After separating from Liu Yi, Jia Xu walked into the inner courtyard of the Dong Mansion with a worried face.

As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I heard the sound of broken porcelain and scolding from the inner hall.

Seeing this, Jia Xu no longer thought about what had just happened, and walked quickly to the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw Dong Zhuo holding a large porcelain vase and slamming it to the ground.

"Lord Xiangguo, don't be angry!" Seeing Dong Zhuo's face red and his neck thick smashing the porcelain vase treasure beside him, Jia Xu hurriedly ran forward to comfort him.

Seeing Jia Xu coming, Dong Zhuo gasped and stopped what he was doing.

"You've come just in time! Immediately draw up a thief arrest edict for our family! Who can catch Cao Cao, reward thousands of gold, and serve ten thousand households! ”

Jia Xu didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring pen and ink, and began to write according to Dong Zhuo's meaning.

......

After Liu Yi ran back to the house, he saw that Xi Zhicai had just entered the house with a money bag.

"Zhicai, what's going on in the palace?" Seeing Xi Zhicai, Liu Yi hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai nodded hurriedly and said, "It's all done!" ”

Seeing that everything had been done, Liu Yi turned over and got on his horse, looked at the people in front of him who were ready to go, and shouted in a low voice, "Get out of the city!" ”

Afterwards, everyone in Liu Yi's mansion got on their horses and followed Liu Yi out of the city.

Just when Liu Yi saw Cao Cao, a team of 100 people at the city gate slowly walked towards the outside of the city.

"Stop! Who dares to leave the city without permission? Do you have an edict from Lord Xiangguo? As soon as the procession reached the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

Seeing that the team was blocked by the guards, the driver of the carriage in the middle of the procession jumped down.

"Lord Sangkoku's sword is here! Don't wait for a quick release! ”

When the soldier defending the city saw the sword in the coachman's hand, he hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.

Seeing that it was indeed Dong Zhuo's sword, he hurriedly bowed to the coachman flatteringly.

"Damn it, I don't know it's the team of Lord Xiangguo! I collided with adults, and I hope you don't blame them! ”

After saying that, I saw that the soldier guarding the door greeted his companions behind him, and then prepared to let him go.

But before the big team could get out of the city, a shout suddenly came from not far away, "Stop!" ”

The whole team was stunned and immediately stopped to look in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a man who looked like a Duber (a petty officer in the army of fifty) approached.

"My lord, they have the sword of Lord Xiangguo in their hands, and the small one is only allowed to go!" The soldier guarding the city just now saw Du Bo coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

When Natub heard this, he ignored the soldier and walked straight to the carriage in the ranks.

"Lord Xiangguo's sword has already been given to Lord Liu Duwei, how dare you pretend to be Lord Xiangguo's team? Say! Who's in the carriage! "That's all

Bo shouted angrily.

It turned out that after Liu Yi got Dong Zhuo's saber that day, he came to the gate of the city and wandered around, and it happened that this Dubo was on duty at that time and saw the saber on Liu Yi's waist.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, and the soldiers on both sides of the carriage touched their hands behind their backs.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, suddenly the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and then a beautiful and eye-catching woman stepped out.

"General Guan, what's wrong? Didn't my Lang Jun say that Master Dong had already agreed to let us go out of the city? ”

I saw that the woman was none other than the Diao Chan that Liu Yi saw at Wang Yun's mansion that night, and the coachman of the carriage was Guan Yu, who had not shown up for a day.

Hearing Diao Chan's words, Guan Yu instantly understood, and then jumped out of the carriage and respectfully bowed to Diao Chan, "Madam, don't worry, wait for Guan to talk to this general!" ”

After Guan Yu finished calling "Mrs.", he saw Diao Chan's little face turn red all of a sudden, and after saying "um", Diao Chan hurriedly returned to the car.

It is said that in front of beautiful women, no matter how irritable a man is, he will become a gentleman, which is not true at all. After seeing Diao Chan's beauty, Dubo, who had a fierce face just now, suddenly softened his face.

"Oh, it turned out to be General Guan! Rude, rude! ”

Seeing that Du Bo turned his face faster than turning a book, Guan Yu said with a smile, "I didn't make it clear to the adults below, and there was a misunderstanding, it's all wrong!" Please forgive me! ”

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Na Du Bo said with a smile on his face, "It's okay!" Later, he pointed to the carriage and asked curiously, "General Guan, what is this?" ”

Seeing this, Guan Yu hurriedly glanced at the carriage, and then said with a smile, "The car is the wife of my family, because I am homesick, my family is the one who escorted him back to his hometown!" ”

Na Dubo smiled obscenely when he heard this, and then said loudly to Guan Yu happily, "I see, then hurry up, don't delay Madame's business!" ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he thanked him, then jumped into the carriage and led the team out of the city.

The team had just left the city when a boy's voice suddenly came from the carriage.

"My sister was so witty just now!"

Guan Yu, who was outside the carriage, couldn't help but cry out in his heart when he heard this: "If the lord knew that I brought Diao Chan out, he wouldn't kill me, right?" ”

Less than half an hour after Guan Yu's team walked out, Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai took a large team out of the city.

Liu Yi didn't have as much trouble going out of the city as Guan Yu, because of Dong Zhuo's order, the soldiers guarding the city didn't even dare to ask more and let Liu Yi and the others out of the city.

......

Just after Liu Yi and the others left the city, about a cup of tea, Li Ru finally entered the palace with the soldiers.

On the same day, after Liu Wei was demoted to the king of Hongnong, he and his biological mother, the Empress Dowager He, have been under house arrest in Yong'an Palace.

Yong'an Palace is in the corner of the Imperial Palace, and if you want to think of Yong'an Palace, you must pass through the Jiade Palace.

When Li Ru and the others walked all the way to the Jiade Palace, they happened to see Wang Yunzheng walking slowly from the front.

Seeing Wang Yun here, Li Ru greeted him and walked up.

"Master Li, why are you here?"

Seeing that Li Ru had arrived, Wang Yun asked with a puzzled expression.

Hearing this, Li Ru casually made up an excuse to prevaricate, and then asked rhetorically, "Lord Situ, are you here?" ”

When Wang Yun heard this, he made a surprised expression.

"I am ordered by Xiangguo to invite King Hongnong out of the palace! Don't you know? ”

As soon as Li Ru heard this, he immediately screamed in his heart, and then grabbed Wang Yun's arm. He asked sharply, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Originally, Wang Yun couldn't look down on Li Ru's face, but at this time, seeing that he was so rude in front of so many people, Wang Yun suddenly became angry.

"Master Li, although you are a celebrity around Xiangguo, but the old man is the Situ of the dynasty after all, you are so like a teacher and asking for guilt to catch the old minister, I'm afraid it's not quite legal, right?"

When Li Ru heard this, he realized that he was a little rude just now, so he hurriedly let go of Wang Yun and pretended to bow to him.

"This matter is very important, and the official has a bit of a gaffe, and I ask Lord Situ not to blame!" After Li Ru apologized to Wang Yun expressionlessly, he urgently asked what Wang Yun meant by what he said just now.

I saw that Wang Yun glanced at Li Ru with a loving look, and said, "Before, General Guan under Lord Liu came to the old man with the sword of Lord Xiangguo, saying that Lord Xiangguo wanted the old man to invite King Hongnong and Empress Dowager He out of the palace, and the old man saw that it was the order of Lord Xiangguo, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only do what General Guan said!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Ru suddenly felt his scalp numb.

"Not good! We have fallen for Liu Yi's trick! ”
