"Congratulations to the lord, the fire burned away the worries of his subordinates, and won back the heart of unity." Ren Jun gave a deep salute, and he confessed everything he thought in his heart. Because he has long known that in the face of Cao Cao, he must not be clever, and he should not hide it, just say what he sees.

When Cao Cao heard this, a look of satisfaction and joy appeared on his face, and he cordially beckoned Ren Jun to sit down. was as amiable as an old friend for many years, which made Ren Jun a little flattered, and then Cao Cao said frankly: "If it weren't for Xun Wenruo and Cheng Zhongde's two double reeds singing well, I wouldn't have been able to win over everyone's hearts so easily." But at this time, it seems that this hard work has not been in vain, at least I don't have to worry about the collapse of the army's heart for the time being. ”

At this time, Ren Jun didn't dare to answer casually, and he naturally saw that Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's performance today was too flashy. However, at this time, Cao Cao himself admitted that he knew that today's things were all being planned. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Cao Cao's right-hand man, played a trick in front of everyone.

However, he couldn't say anything next, seeing Cao Cao looking at him with a smile, Ren Jun said: "Duke Ming, since we have conquered the hearts of the people today, whether we finally press Youzhou once, or retreat to Yanzhou, we have the strength to fight." In that case, I don't know why Ming Gong wanted to keep me? ”

"Boda, you're right, with today's events, we have made sure to spare a little bit of strength. But in fact, we only have one chance, so we must cherish it and make sure that nothing goes wrong. Cao Cao's tone unconsciously became solemn, got up slowly, and drank all the wine on the table. Then, when Ren Jun couldn't react, he took out a dagger and threw it on the desk!

Ren Jun was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then his expression calmed down again, and he looked carefully at the dagger that pierced into the desk. I saw that the dagger was shining with cold light, and there were sparkling forging marks on the one-foot-long blade, which was obviously a fine blade that had been tempered for thousands of years. However, this dagger still has flaws, and Ren Jun, who is a little familiar with the art of forging, can see that although the blade of the dagger is faintly bright, it does not have the kind of condensation that is soaked in the fiery red, and there is an indescribable dark texture.

"Ming Gong, what does this mean?" Ren Jun looked at it for a long time, and after he was completely familiar with the information that could be transmitted through the dagger, he asked.

"Boyda, where did you come from?" Cao Cao asked, not making any waves on his face or tone.

"It is made by the imperial smelter in the hands of His Majesty." Ren Jun replied, although he still wanted to confirm the basis for his judgment, he could also see that Cao Cao did not need to know this.

"Yes, Berta is as wise as a torch." Cao Cao's smile was very weird, and then he pulled out the dagger and put it in Ren Jun's hand: "This dagger is also the weapon used by the seven assassins to assassinate me a while ago!" ”

"What?!" Ren Jun couldn't help but be surprised at this time, he suddenly felt that what Cao Cao handed over to him was not a cold dagger, but a red-hot soldering iron: the weapon made by His Majesty's Imperial Smelting Factory today has become the murder weapon to assassinate Cao Gong, such a fact, fools know what it means.

"I can pretend not to know about the surrender of Yuan Shao and Ma Chao before, but this matter is different." Cao Cao glanced at Ren Jun, as if to make him feel relieved: "You probably know what happened to this incident, and I thought it was just a conspiracy played by Ma Chao to force our army back." But now it seems that it is not that simple at all - and what is even more terrifying is that I really can't guess what kind of unimaginable story is behind this incident. ”

Ren Jun can understand Cao Cao's mood very well at this time - the relationship between the Cao family and His Majesty today has always been a secret for everyone. The two seem to be intimate, virtuous and loyal. But in fact, anyone with a hint of political sense can smell something extraordinary.

Now the momentum of the Ma family is like the sky, and it is indispensable. In troubled times, Li Shu regarded the Ma family as an emerging savior, and even rumors said 'Ma Dai Han family', which made the Cao family and other princes in the world very uneasy. And Cao Cao is okay after all, he has an orthodox Han ace in his hand, and he can fight with the Ma family....... but now, such a thing has provoked Cao Cao's most sensitive nerves.

"Boda, I hope you can find out what is behind this." Cao Cao solemnly spoke, making Ren Jun feel that the thin dagger in his hand weighed more than a thousand catties.

"Why did you choose me?" Ren Jun's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked cautiously. To be honest, he really didn't want to participate in the whirlpool of the storm between the Cao family and the Han family: "There are Xun Wenruo, Cheng Zhongde, Jiang Zitong and others under the main account, all of whom are scheming and decisive. In particular, Jing Ancao, the director of Xi Zhicai, is the best person to deal with this matter. ”

But Cao Cao's answer was laughter: "You are my brother-in-law, it is naturally better for your own family to handle this kind of matter." ”

Ren Jun was silent when he heard this, he did marry a woman from the Cao family, but this was by no means Cao Cao's real reason. However, at the same time, he also knew that he had been in charge of Tuntian affairs, and had followed Cao Cao for a lot of years, and he had never made any major mistakes. Cao Cao did trust him more.

"Boda, I know you don't want to be involved in this. However, I'll be honest with you, Xun Yu is an orthodox Confucian, and he always has some pity for the Han family; Cheng Yu is arrogant, although he has great wisdom, but he acts too strongly, he can't deal with such soft things; Jiang Ji is suitable, but unfortunately his qualifications are still shallow, and it is not appropriate to contact this matter too early; As for Xi Zhicai, he is indeed the best candidate, but during this period, he is carrying out a more important event than this. Right now, you are the only one I can trust and entrust. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes rarely showed a look similar to expectation, and he spoke softly again: "Boda, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Wechen understands." Looking at Cao Cao's eyes, Ren Jun knew that he had no reason to refuse.

Cao Cao's face was overjoyed, and he took off a talisman from his waist and handed it to Ren Jun. It was a yellow copper square seal, with a tiger head button on it, firmly tied by a blue silk.

"This is the talisman of Sikong Mansion, take it, you can go anywhere and ask anyone." Then Cao Cao admonished again: "But this matter should be done in a low-key manner, and don't make it known to everyone in the camp." ”

"Understood."

"This time, I'll give you a title." Cao Cao said again that this time he looked serious, not like a joke.

But Ren Jun didn't answer, he walked out of the big tent with a dagger and a talisman. I happened to see a guard with a big waist and a round waist approaching. The guard was like a giant mountain bear, almost covering half of the camp. Ren Jun wanted to leave with a polite greeting, but in an instant, he looked at the guard and said, "Captain Xu, I want to talk to you." ”

"What are you talking about?" Xu Chu's expression looked surprised.

"About the incident of the assassination of Cao Gong."

Xu Chu's eyes became sharp, Ren Jun felt it in his heart at the moment, and he intuitively told him that he had found the right person. Seeing that Xu Chu didn't want to say more, Ren Jun immediately took out the talisman and showed it to Xu Chu. Xu Chu pondered for a moment, saying that he was still on duty now, and he would be on duty in the afternoon, and he could go to the guard tent to find him when the time came.

Ren Jun asked the location of the guard's tent, and then said goodbye to Xu Chu. Just as he was leaving completely, Xu Chu turned around and said, "General Ren, I don't think the assassination of Cao Gong was done by Ma Chao's shadow. Shi A, that person, I know, although he has nominally taken refuge in the Ma family, there is still an order that can unconditionally drive him to die! ”

"What kind of order?"

"Tianhua Sect Master's Kill Order!"

Ren Jun was stunned for a moment, he naturally knew that the three sects in the troubled times would have this life and the next life. I also know that the Shenbu Sect has now been completely integrated into the Ma family, and the sect master of the Tianhua Sect is His Majesty today......
