In the wind and snow, the trembling eunuch was dragged away for an hour.

The sound of beating the bell came from the quiet long street, and on the snow covered with the streets and alleys, suddenly a big foot fell into the snow, and when the snow was raised, more black shadows ran through here silently with weapons, stepping on the sound of 'squeak', these people were dressed in black and masked, and they drove towards the side of the palace not far away.

Glancing around the courtyard wall, someone shook his eyes at his companion, approached the courtyard wall, and turned around to join hands, the companion with a weapon in the back rushed over, stepped on his palm, and his body surged upward, and hit the wall.

"Assassin—"

The moment a voice shouted out the words, the three guards immediately drew their knives and rushed out of the side hut, and the figure who lowered the courtyard wall rushed directly towards the side door, and the three blades were handed to his back, and the blood splashed, and the person "Ah-" sounded, waved the knife and cut the door bolt, dragged the bloody back and turned abruptly, and pounced on the oncoming palace guards, and was forced to be blocked by the blade.

Immediately, the courtyard door was slammed open.

…….

Dian Wei and the others, who were drinking under the eaves, stopped, and when they raised their heads, they heard a faint shout of killing in their ears, Dian Wei rubbed his red ugly face, grabbed the double halberd leaning on the wooden fence and stood up, "What a fucking disappointment." "Let Chu go." The big fat man waved his hand at him, and the tiger's head and big knife turned with a bang, resisting on his shoulder, and strode towards the side courtyard with a few tiger guard battalion armor soldiers.

The light of the lamp was re-lit in the study, and in the room, Gongsun Zhi took a sip of the cold water from the desk with a single coat, and when he walked to the window lattice, Dian Wei's voice came from outside: "Lord, Zhong Kang brought people over." ”

"Hmm."

Gongsun Zhi pinched the weapon in his hand and shook it: "Keep a live mouth and confirm who sent it." As he spoke, he drank the cold water in the bowl in one sip, turned around and threw it on the desk, "The third watch will not stop in the middle of the night. ”

Behind the screen, Fu Shou stood up straight wrapped in the quilt and looked at him worriedly: "Won't the husband go out to have a look?" ”

"Late, if a gang of thieves can kill in, all the guards under the command of Lone should be dragged out and beheaded." Gongsun Zhi held her in his arms and whispered, "This Central Plains is not a lonely knife and a single shot, how many people are red-eyed, but it's okay, who did it doesn't need to know, just go to the court tomorrow and ask clearly." ”

Fu Shou leaned on the man's shoulder and sighed: "Someone will have another head hit the ground tomorrow." ”

"They brought it on themselves." Gongsun Zhi patted her, "You sleep for a while, you should go out and have a look." ”

After pressing the woman back into the futon, he took the seven-star knife hanging on the wall, put on a big coat and pushed open the door and walked out, beckoned to Dian Wei, and ordered Li Ke to guard the study, and then rushed with dozens of guards and wolves to rush towards the faintly loud fighting cry over there. All around, the alarmed guards in the palace rushed over there one by one, and when they met Gongsun Zhihui here, they formed a team of hundreds of people, and the murderous atmosphere was surging.

Stepping into the side courtyard, the bloody air came to the face, and the rows of guards had formed a gun array and a knife formation, pushing the twenty assassins who had rushed into the courtyard gate only five or six feet into the middle of the courtyard, and the broken corpses were all over the ground, and on the eaves, there were also soldiers who aimed their bows at this side, and occasionally a few arrows were shot into the crowd looking for a space, nailing an assassin who wanted to chop a knife to the ground.

Xu Chu stood at the front of the front with a big knife, his thick arms waved violently, and the heavy blade directly split an assassin on the other side into two with a knife, and the colorful intestines were splashed all over the place, drenching everyone's face, and he shouted: "Leave one alive, and kill the rest." ”

In the quadrangular array, spears and blades frantically stabbed and slashed towards the center in a roar, and the viscous plasma accompanied by a series of miserable screaming figures splashed into the air, only one of them was broken by Xu Chu with the back of the knife, grabbed it from the inside, flipped it to the ground, rolled to the stone steps not far away, and after the shaking vision stopped, he saw a pair of cold eyes standing above and looking at him condescendingly.

"Who sent you? Say it, and loneliness will give you a way to live. ”

"Yes..... is .....Your Majesty......" The man said, while constantly twisting to look at his companion who was stabbed to death by countless spears and iron spears, his eyes were full of horror, and when he turned around, he saw that in the scabbard inlaid with seven precious stones, the cold light slowly pulled out, and he hurriedly shouted: "King Jin, you said to let me live ......"

Gongsun Zhi glanced at him with a lowered gaze, and the blade was raised, "Lonely has broken his promise." ”

With a pop, the head and neck of the person who had not finished speaking were severed and rolled on the ground a few times. Soon after, the sound of fighting in the side courtyard was annihilated in this wind and snow, and the figure who turned to leave wiped his knife and returned to the sheath, and the voice came coldly: "Clean the ground, find a carriage and load it, and pull it to the imperial city tomorrow." ”

******

The sky gradually brightened, the wind and snow stopped in the early morning, the whole Xu Du was already a white scene, the streets and alleys gradually lively, when the pedestrians shuttled, Cao Ang took a team of soldiers through the lively streets, stationed in the palace of the King of Jin, and saw several teams of tiger guard battalion armor soldiers waiting in formation, he entered the courtyard gate just to meet Li Ke who passed the order.

"What's going on?"

Li Ke spread his hands, pointed in the direction of the side courtyard, and said with a smile: "That emperor's butt is itchy, and he owes a pump." ”

The two of them separated after saying a few words, and at the end of the corridor connecting the front yard and the back yard, they saw Gongsun Zhi who was dressed up and went out, the latter came over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Ziyu came here so early, is it to intercede with your brother?" Let's go, go to the palace with Lonely. ”

Cao Ang was stunned when he heard the words straight to the point, followed behind, walked out all the way, and at the same time that the steward of the house waved his hand to drive away the next person, the guard wolf rode from other directions one after another to assemble, followed by the two of them, is to step out of the roaring footsteps, Cao Ang then also explained the intention: "Ang is indeed here to intercede with Zihuan, and ask the King of Jin to let him live, Ang is willing to exchange this title for him." ”

"Zi Yu laughed, how can the matter of the title be rewarded and taken back at will." Gongsun Zhi walked in front with his hands in his hands, and when he saw his daughter running out of the side hall of the front yard, he reached out and pinched her face, and continued to move forward, "...... Gu never thought of killing him, one is negative Cao Gong's friendship, and the other is that you and I have a lot of affection, it always depends on your face." ”

Walking down the stone steps, someone in front of him quickly swept away the snow in the middle of the walk.

"But ..... this matter, Lone has to go down the stairs, among these people, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang, and Zhang Xiu, you can pick one out and be a scapegoat, and the rest can be lightly dealt with." Gongsun stopped walking a few steps, paused for a moment, he turned his head slightly sideways, and looked at Cao Ang: "...... Zixuan, you choose. ”

Cao Ang stood in place, his face trembled slightly, some things are indeed as Gongsun Zhi said, if you make a mistake and want to excuse yourself, you must always give an explanation, otherwise others will be dissatisfied in their hearts. After hesitating for a moment, he clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "..... then choose Zhang Xiu." ”

"Good! Then let Zhang Xiu carry it. ”

Gongsun Zhi walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and laughed freely, "Who in this world can't die?" Now that you've made your decision, it's time to be more relaxed. When he walked to the gate of the mansion, he didn't care about Cao Ang's mood, and turned over on his horse, "...... Don't be depressed, since the person is saved and brought back to be disciplined, Lone will not tolerate next time. ”

"Yes!" Cao Ang replied softly, watching the King of Jin on his horse with a knife, he raised his hand and said goodbye: "The palace will not go, Ang took Zihuan back to the house, and he has to go to the military camp to deal with some affairs, and then come to the palace in the evening to ask the King of Jin for a bowl of wine." ”

"Haha, this is like a lonely general, so let's go and get busy."

After saying goodbye and leaving, Gongsun Zhi rode a horse and walked in front, his smile gradually converged, and his eyes became serious, not Cao Pi's business, but the assassination day and night, now that I think about it, I always feel a little strange inside.

Mighty processions spread across the long streets.

Soon after, the king of Jin led his troops into the palace and rushed into the imperial city, at this time the Chengguang Hall was in the court, hearing the news from outside, the hundred officials looked at each other at the same time, Liu Xie sat on the golden steps, his body was trembling slightly.
