Chapter 176: Assassin Dong flees
The two discussed for a long time in the inner hall, and Cao Cao proposed to borrow Wang Yun's seven-star treasure knife as a stabbing object.
Wang Yun took out the treasure knife and handed it to Cao Cao, held his hand, and said earnestly: "The little girl is sixteen years old, and she has lived in the boudoir for a long time, so I am afraid that people will laugh at her." Whether you can have a good husband or not depends on Mengde. ”
Cao Cao patted his chest and promised: "Situ rest assured, I, Cao Mengde, will take the head of the Dong thief!" ”
Out of Situ's mansion, being blown by the cold wind on the street, Cao Cao's alcohol strength subsided a lot. Thinking of what he had promised, he couldn't help beating his chest and said angrily: "I should ask him to give me Diao Chan first, and then promise to assassinate me!" Mistakes, mistakes!! ”
It was too late to regret it, and the carriage had already left towards Xiangguo's mansion. Cao Cao patted his head to sober himself up, thinking about how to deal with this. If he wants to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he does have this intention, and he has been racking his brains to gain trust, just to get the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo. In the Battle of Luoyang, his assassination of Guo Yi was greatly praised by Dong Zhuo, and he was no longer fortified against him.
Now the ministers of the court and the central government are also extremely dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, and the princes of Shandong are also ready to move, so it can be said that the right time, place and people are on their side. If it succeeds, then it is not impossible to get rid of a major problem. It's just that if you have to take your own life, it's a bit more than worth the loss.
After thinking about it, when the carriage stopped, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Big husband, death is death, what are you afraid of!" ”
"Please inform Xiangguo, Cao Cao asks to see you."
Dong Zhuo is sitting on the kang reading a book, it is "Spring and Autumn". Lu Bu sat on the side and looked straight ahead, Fang Tian's halberd was placed on the wall behind him, and he was equipped with a delicate short sword at his waist, ready to fight at any time.
As soon as he bypassed the screen and came to the door, Cao Cao felt a terrifying murderous aura, and he couldn't help but swing his way, avoiding the source of this murderous aura, and bowed to Dong Zhuo, "Cao Cao has seen Xiangguo." ”
Dong Zhuo raised his eyelids and continued to read, "Mengde." Why is it so late? ”
Cao Cao apologized: "The horses are old, and they can't be driven, so they are late, please forgive Xiangguo." ”
"Haha. It turns out that you Cao Mengde also have a time to look away. Dong Zhuo laughed, put the book aside, and carefully folded the pages to mark. He asked, "How?" Wang Yun set up a banquet, but what was he trying to do? ”
Cao Cao's face was unhappy, and he said coldly: "This group of wolf-hearted and dog-lung people, they got together just to discuss how to deal with Xiangguo. Thanks to the favor of many people, they have high-ranking officials, which is shameless! ”
"Humph! What can a bunch of rotten people do? "Dong Zhuo doesn't take these civil officials seriously, everyone's routine of getting promoted and making a fortune is the same, and Dong Zhuo knows very well how many abilities this group of people have." This time, I happened to introduce a good horse from Xiliang, so I will send one to Meng De. Bongxian, you go and pick a horse for Mengde. ”
"Yes." Lu Bu lifted Fang Tian's halberd, glared at Cao Cao, and turned to leave.
The source of the murderous aura disappeared, and Cao Cao felt that he was already sweating, blown by the cold wind, and his heart was cold! Secretly said: "Lu Bu is really a dragon and tiger, with him by Dong Thief's side, the world is unlucky!" ”
raised his head and looked at Dong Zhuo again, thinking to himself that Lu Bu was not here at this time, and it was a good time to assassinate. As soon as his mind moved, he thought about how he should live. Although he was ready to die before entering the door, when the time came, it was false to say that he was not afraid of death, and there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death.
"Hmm...... Wang Yun ...... "Dong Zhuo thought about it and didn't have a clue. He asked Cao Cao again, "Meng De, in your opinion, who else in this court wants to clean up?" ”
Cao Cao pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "Xiangguo has the power of the world, these rotten Confucians only have the share of worship, why should Xiangguo worry about mediocre people?" ”
"Hahaha!" Dong Zhuo laughed and praised: "Meng De has really seen people. Sit down, the old man is a little sleepy, take a nap first. ”
"Yes." Cao Cao sat respectfully, Dong Zhuo lay on the kang casually, his fat body was like a lifebuoy, and after a while, the sound of snoring came, and he was already asleep.
Cao Cao's eyes were locked on Dong Zhuo, and heaven and man were at war in his heart, and he couldn't decide how to decide. Once the assassination is successful, it will remove a big scourge for the world, and when the time comes, Yuan Benchu will come out to take charge, which will definitely restore order to the imperial court and the world will be peaceful. Although Yuan Shao has a lot of problems, as the successor of the Yuan family, it is completely fine for him to command the world, and he also has this ambition.
But if there is a slight mistake, he is a dead end, and Dong Zhuo's troops will definitely pursue him to the death. Is it the world, or is it your own life? This is a dilemma.
Time passes little by little, and if it continues like this, Lu Bu will come back, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be missed. Cao Cao's eyes suddenly became extremely firm, and the belief in his heart finally became firm.
"If I had died, I would have taken care of my wife and children, and I would have no worries. I, Cao Cao, am a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and I should be loyal to the Han Dynasty! How can a husband retreat from battle? ”
Overcoming the fear in his heart, Cao Cao stood up suddenly, quickly pulled out the Seven Star Treasure Knife and stabbed at Dong Zhuo.
"Phew!" At this moment, there was the neighing of horses outside the door, and the sound of Lu Bu dismounting.
Cao Cao froze there in fright, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Dong Zhuo, who was taking a nap, was disturbed by the sound of the horses, and also woke up, and saw that Cao Cao's condition was not right from the mirror on the bed, and hurriedly asked, "Meng De, what's wrong?" As he spoke, he quickly turned around, his hands clenched into fists, and prepared to face the enemy.
Cao Cao quickly knelt down, kowtowed violently, and said loudly: "I got a treasure knife and I am about to sacrifice it to Xiangguo." ”
At this time, Lu Bu walked in, and the murderous aura suddenly enveloped Cao Cao, overwhelming him.
"Oh! What a good knife. Dong Zhuo didn't react to Lu Bu's entry, but reached out and took the knife and looked at it carefully. However, I saw that the body of this knife was inlaid with seven gems of different colors, and the workmanship was very exquisite, and it was a treasure of great value.
"Good! Good! Dong Zhuo took the knife in his hand and played happily.
Cao Cao hurriedly Lu Bu's sword was already on his neck, and he hurriedly resigned, "Xiangguo, Weichen still has official business to deal with, please allow me to retire temporarily." ”
"Well, you go back." Dong Zhuo's mind was already on the treasure knife, and he casually dealt with him and sent him away.
Cao Cao was pardoned, so he quickly got up and ran out of the door, and saw that the horse was in the yard, and it was indeed a good horse. Without saying a word, he turned over his horse, raised his whip and ran out.
Lu Bu frowned and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, did this Cao Cao want to assassinate just now?" ”
This sentence scared Dong Zhuo so much that he didn't even have any interest in playing with the treasure knife, he had only been assassinated once less than two months ago, and he still had palpitations. Hou was afraid: "I just saw that he looked flustered, and it seemed that something was wrong." After you say this, it seems a bit of a possibility! But I treat him well, and I don't care about my past suspicions, why does he want to murder me? ”
Lu Bu didn't have an idea, he just relied on his instinct and just sensed the murderous aura released by Cao Cao, but he couldn't deduce who this murderous aura was aimed at. Compared to Lu Bu, Cao Cao's force was too low to concentrate his murderous aura on one person.
Just then, at this time, Li Ru came in. Dong Zhuo told him about it. Li Ru chuckled: "This matter is simple. Xiangguo only needs to summon him back, if he comes back, it means that he has a clear conscience, but he is afraid of General Lu's domineering. If you don't come back......
Dong Zhuo said viciously: "Reward Wanted!" ”
