"There are assassins!"

There was an uproar, and everyone's reflex nerves moved. And after Pang Tong's face was illuminated by the firelight, no one doubted his intention. This is Cao Zhi's guard, and no one can replace that sense of trust, and he has an absolute loyalty to Cao Zhi, which the guards must not doubt.

"Search me around now, several Assassins have already entered." Pang Tong said in a deep voice. "What are you all doing?"

The crowd was in a commotion, but someone had to keep it safe. The soldiers did not dare to leave the house. Pang Tong disagreed, walked over, and opened the door directly, and it was dark inside. Behind the screen on the left, on the bed, Cao Zhi was sleeping soundly. Pang Tong took a deep breath, pulled over a chair and sat down.

At dawn, the sky was bright, Cao Zhi woke up, and saw someone sitting on one side, and he was shocked. At the moment when his six gods were masterless and his soul was scattered, Pang Tong said coldly: "Can the king sleep well?" ”

After hearing this, Cao Zhi, who was already leaning against the wall, gasped and said, "What is Commander Zhou doing...... I'm really not very daring, I'm going to scare you to death! ”

"It's good to be scared to death, if you die under the blade, I'm afraid I don't know if there is a whole corpse." Pang Tong said, Cao Zhi looked shocked. "I won't mess with you, there were more than a dozen assassins last night, and when I came to you, there were still people watching from the tiled roof."

Hearing this, Cao Zhi sat on the bed silently, as if he sank into infinite fear. Then, Pang Tong coughed dryly.

Cao Zhi raised his head and said, "Did you catch anyone?" ”

"Nope." Pang Tong shook his head. "These men are very good, and the infantry commander has pursued them and has not returned yet. Those guards of yours can't even find a human figure. If I didn't want to protect you, I would have caught one of them and tried them for trial. ”

Cao Zhi stepped out of bed, took clothes from the hanger on the side, and put them on alone without calling anyone.

"It's a dangerous situation, how can this be." Wearing clothes, his hands were trembling, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Is this still the imperial capital of the Wei Dynasty, or the royal palace? There's simply no royal law......"

"A person who is free outside the king's law should be a king in himself." Pang Tong said calmly.

Cao Zhi shuddered.

"Commander Zhou's words are like urging orders."

"It's the enemy who is urging you to die, but you're not prepared."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhi turned around and waved his white sleeves and said, "How can I prepare, I am a weak scholar, and there are these guards around me." Do you want me to become a second brother? ”

He slapped his thigh again.

"The wound here is still faintly painful, not as good as a sword stabbing the heart."

"You want the assassin to kill you?" Pang Tong stood up and arched his hand: "I'm just a minor official, and I ask the king for forgiveness." If you have something to say, I will say it bluntly, with your mentality, isn't it precisely that the only thing you can do when you are threatened by the enemy is to escape with death? ”

"Grab someone else's weakness and hit it hard." Cao Zhi stared at Pang Tong tightly. "Commander Zhou is not an ordinary person, whether it is skill, courage or foresight. Yes, your vision. Are there all such people around Emperor Ren? ”

"Emperor Ren has no shortage of people like me." Pang Tong said with a vertical face.

"How about thinking about staying in the Wei Dynasty?" Cao Zhi asked calmly.

"That's right......" Pang Tong looked up with a smile. Then Chen Siwang has to become Emperor Wei. ”

"Say it."

“？”

"Say what you think, in this situation, Commander Zhou should have thought of what countermeasures."

"Win over Cheng Yu, or kill him." Pang Tong lowered his voice.

Cao Zhi took a deep breath.

"It's a bold assumption, that man is extremely not simple, and if he doesn't do it well, he will get killed." Cao Zhi frowned and said, "Even Lord Xun Yu shouldn't be able to push him down." Unless...... With the support of the Great Sima and the Great General, in that case, basically everything will sit back and relax. ”

"If you can really have the support of these two men, I'm afraid no one in the government and the opposition will dare to say a word." Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "How sure are you?" ”

"Not sure. Da Sima stood at the eldest brother's place, that was an undoubted thing. He and his eldest brother got too close. Cao Zhi said: "The general may have a chance, but he is now on an expedition outside, and he can't quench his thirst from afar." ”

"What about Sima Yi?" Pang Tong suddenly thought of this man.

"That's right......" Cao Zhi sighed, "What's going on...... Isn't it supposed to be in the middle of the court? Why haven't I seen these banquets? ”

"He's been in the middle of the court? How do you know? ”

"He didn't participate in any war, he must have been in the court, and I haven't heard anyone say he's outside. But who said last time that he was cultivating at home, but he shouldn't have been missing? ”

Pang Tong gritted his teeth, he had an assumption, but it was inconvenient to tell Cao Zhi now.

"If you have his help, it will be much more convenient, at least there is a chance to get rid of Cheng Yu." Cao Zhi seemed to have a sad face. "So many Assassins...... I can only think that Cheng Yu's people did it. Under the whole world, he can be so rampant in the imperial capital of my Wei Dynasty, either his Praetorian Guards or his flying camp. ”

"It's similar to what I thought, then Cao Zhang shouldn't have such subordinates."

"Hiss......" Cao Zhi took a deep breath. The second brother will not do this kind of thing, he wants to start, he will definitely seize the military power, and directly behead us and other heads to show the public. ”

"This person is so vicious?"

Cao Zhi was silent, with a stiff wry smile.

While the two were talking, the maids outside were knocking on the door.

"Yo, the waiter is here." Pang Tong chuckled.

Cao Zhi took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and straightened his waist.

"Come in!"

Then the maid came in, and Cao Zhi sent a few words away, but the main bookkeeper in the house said that the study room had put the paperwork. Cao Zhi walked directly over with Pang Tong, and after entering the study, Cao Zhi yawned and sat down.

Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "I guarded you well, you didn't sleep, but you dozed off." "Speaking of this, I was shocked, Xue Yue is still back - although this kind of thing happens from time to time, but there were many enemies last night, and it would not be good if he fell into the trap.

"Commander Zhou?" Seeing that Pang Tongyi's face was rarely hesitant, Cao Zhi called out.

"Huh?"

"What do you want?" Having said that, Cao Zhi opened a volume of documents, and Pang Tong did not answer him.

"Ma Chao and Zhang Liao stopped the general, which seems to be related to the serious illness of the military advisor Guo Jia." Cao Zhi frowned. However, this news is just a good thing for Pang Tong to stretch his heart, but he also feels sympathy for the misfortune of a generation of talents. "We have a different position, you can see forgiveness. When I ascend to the throne will be the time for peace. Cao Zhi lost no time in adding. However, Sima Yi is too old and cunning, saying that he is in the city, but he has deceived all of us, and only his father knows about it. ”

Pang Tong trembled, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that he has already gone out?" ”

"Of course." Cao Zhi looked at the document and nodded: "Leading 100,000 troops along the coast of Qingzhou, he actually raided Nanpi County in Jizhou, and took down the city in only six days, it's really ......fast."

Pang Tong let out a deep sigh.

"I'm afraid Commander Zhou is displeased." Cao Zhi said jokingly: "This Sima Yi is a bit of a ghost. ”

"This person has always been valued by Emperor Ren, and he is indeed a great minister of the Wei Dynasty, and he is very talented in military affairs...... I don't know how it is in internal affairs? Pang Tong asked.

"Since his father became emperor, he has never participated in internal affairs, what a strange man." Cao Zhi frowned and stared at the paper. "This person is too weird, why don't you call Xindu County? Why did you still hit Zhangwu County along the coast......" Then he fell silent.

Pang Tong couldn't wait anymore, so he could only ask.

"Did you lay it down?"

"Hmm." Cao Zhi nodded slightly and said: "Xindu and Zhangwu's soldiers and horses formed a defensive line, but Sima Yi bypassed from the coast and directly broke through Zhangwu County. What the hell was he thinking? ”

Pang Tong's temples were covered with cold sweat, and he thought to himself: "This guy is not playing tricks, he gave up the opportunity to encircle and suppress Xiahoudun...... It's to swallow Youzhou, so the biggest possibility is to have an affair with Karasuma! Yes, only this possibility will allow Sima Yi to venture across the coast of Jizhou and attack Youzhou. Yu Fuluo and Mrs. Guo can't get them. In the end, Youzhou was lost, the north was in danger, and Zhang Liao and Ma Chao were only equal to the enemy on their backs. But...... What is Gong Jin doing? ”

Cao Zhi put away the scroll and threw it aside, then took another volume.

"I came here the day before yesterday, and I forgot to read it." He opened as he spoke, "Oh...... The Ren Dynasty army in Xiyang County was motionless, there was no battle, and Da Sima was about to hold back his birds in the city, right? However, there must be a plan in it, and if you act rashly, you will definitely suffer. ”

"Presumably Emperor Ren is sitting there."

Cao Zhi sighed and said, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing...... If Emperor Ren is there, Da Sima will be finished. It's a good thing if you're lucky. It is inevitable that he is the eldest brother's person, but how to say it is also my Cao family, watching him die tragically as a third duke, it makes people feel unbearable. Even if I am defeated, I will flee back quickly, and I will find a way to fight him. Yan Bi threw the scroll to the ground and closed his eyes.

"Commander Zhou, we have to hurry up and make a move, what happened last night is a dangerous signal."

"I'm guarding the left and right with the Bu Tong, you can sleep in peace." Pang Tong said: "But you must have more powerful helpers, Xun Yu and his nephew Xun You are both civil officials, and they are smarter but they can't fight with swords." It's not as good as ......."

A knock on the door interrupted him, and Cao Zhi shouted in displeasure, "Who? ”
