A fireworks street in the Xicheng District of Yecheng is extremely deserted in the early morning. At a side doorway, a woman doing rough work dumps a bucket of sewage down the steps and slowly flows down the steps along the bluestone slabs.

Three or five people bent over, looked left and right, and then slipped through the side door. All the way to the second floor of a building, a woman with a beautiful face approached her and handed her the letter she had received. But he didn't dare to look up.

The main thing is that this woman is too beautiful, no matter what kind of man she is, she always has to become cramped and uneasy in front of her, let alone these young people.

She handed the letter to a poor scholar standing beside her, and the poor scholar looked at it twice and said, "The second prince has figured out the movements of the Yuan Mansion......

The beauty sitting in the center is Diao Chan, she was still young when she met Lu Bu, but now after seven or eight years, she is more and more radiant, and she is charming in her beauty. Zhen Ji was taken hostage by Mrs. Liu, and then fell into the hands of Cao Cao, she knew this, but she couldn't do anything about it. She found Gao Mian, the poor scholar who was now standing in front of her, and hid in this place of fireworks. Fortunately, Yuan Xi left a lot of money for intelligence work before, which was easy for them.

The place of fireworks in the Qinglou is a place where information is exchanged, and Diao Chan only covers his face slightly, but he can still be like a fish in water in this place. She was already good at maneuvering among nobles, and she quickly got the information inside and outside the city clear, even if it was the temperament and hobbies of Cao Cao's subordinates, and who was in the family, she also inquired clearly at this time.

Cao Cao planned to take root in Yecheng, Xu Du was too close to Sun Liu in the south, and Hebei was the richest place at this time. In addition to the emperor still in Xudu, most of the staff and scribes in his Sikong Mansion migrated to Yecheng to handle official business here. And recently there is news that Cao Cao is going to take another step and be named prime minister by the emperor.

Prime Minister, who was not in the official position, originally had this position in the early Han Dynasty, but was later replaced by the Third Duke. Now, Cao Cao is going to become prime minister, which is a signal. Moving the capital to Yecheng is probably a logical thing. However, before that, if the Yuan brothers in Youzhou are not wiped out, it will definitely not work.

However, Diao Chan's gang is like a nail stuck in Yecheng, and now they have only one goal, that is, to rescue Zhen Ji.

Diao Chan asked, "What is the situation in Yuan Fuzhong now?" ”

Gao Mian said: "I have figured out where Mrs. Zhen is, as well as the surrounding defense situation. ”

"This ...... He is far away in Nanpi, how did he know? Diao Chan couldn't help asking. She had to be cautious, after all, there was only one chance, and if there was any false information, all these people in her hands would be in it.

Gao Mian was also puzzled, but said: "It is indeed a letter written by the second son." ”

Diao Chan let out a breath and said, "The news we have in our hands will also be passed on to Nanpi as well." Then take advantage of the absence of Cao Cao's army, and arrange the dead to act. ”

Naturally, she couldn't participate in specific actions, but she was also prepared to fail. The dead soldiers in Gao Mian's hands were all trained after the Battle of the Boundary Bridge that year, needless to say, loyalty, most of them were selected from the outcasts, and if they hadn't taken them in, they would have starved to death a long time ago. Now that the soldiers are raised for a thousand days, it depends on the specific effect.

Cao Cao is now in the plains, in the former Yuan Mansion in Yecheng, and his defense must be empty, but his strength is still stronger than that of them. can only be taken by surprise, and now with this piece of information passed by Yuan Xi, it is possible to act with confidence.

Now a few days later, several people on Diao Chan's side and Gao Mian worked together to formulate a roadmap for rescue. Diao Chan is naturally familiar with the structure in the Yuan Mansion, and Gao Mian's drawing ability is also very strong, after everyone's analysis and the information sent back from Yuan Xi's side, they finally studied a weak link in the defense of the Yuan Mansion.

On this night, Cao Zhi Cao Zijian sat in his courtyard, admiring the crescent moon in the sky, the cool breeze, he sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, drinking sip of wine.

Before he knew it, the night was getting late, and he wanted to return to his room, but he frowned and continued to sit down.

Last year, he just married a concubine, this concubine is not only beautiful, but also very temperamental, and the two are also like glue. This concubine has no other problems, but she likes to wear beautiful clothes. Women, this preference is also common. But in Cao Fu, this is a big taboo. Cao Cao himself was thrifty and strict with himself, and even his family members were not allowed to dress too luxuriously at will. This concubine was bumped into by Cao Cao one day wearing gorgeous satin clothes and directly ordered to be given death. Everything was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made Cao Zhi suddenly attacked.

Not only was he given to death because he wore a little extravagance, but Cao Cao also had doubts about Cao Zhi's style of life, and the order that was supposed to make him the prince of the world was immediately taken back, which made him even more depressed.

In short, without this concubine, Cao Zhi's heart was like entering a cold winter and frozen. Since then, like Cao Pi, he has completely suppressed himself, tried to cater to his father's preferences, and slowly won favor.

But this time, when he met Zhen Ji, it was like the cold winter had passed, and he suddenly found the sweet feeling when he was newly married. It's just that this Zhen Ji seems to have been circled by her father, and she can't easily approach her.

On the one hand, it was Cao Cao's order. On the other hand, it was Yang Xiu's instigation. Yang Xiu has already made two or three plans to secretly kill Zhen Ji, thus putting his second brother Cao Pi in danger. Killing Zhen Ji, although it will anger Cao Cao, the final benefit will definitely be Cao Zhi himself. But Cao Zhi couldn't kill Zhen Ji ruthlessly, so he grinded down.

After drinking a little wine today, a certain thought in Cao Zhi's chest suddenly fermented, and he wanted to see the secluded beauty and tell her his heart.

This Cao Zhi is different from his second brother Cao Pi, Cao Pi always suppresses his own nature, while Cao Zhi does it when he thinks of it. He dropped his glass and went out. After three turns, I came to the outside of Zhen Ji's courtyard.

There seemed to be a voice inside, and the guard at the door was on duty as usual.

"Let me in." Cao Zhi went straight inside, and then was stopped. He let out a loud shout, the smell of wine wafting out.

The guard hesitated, but let this man in and die himself, so he hardened.

Cao Zhi suddenly touched the hilt of the sword on his waist and shouted, "Believe it or not, I'll cut you right now." ”

And the other party also began to draw his sword. The atmosphere immediately became tense.

There were many guards guarding the door, and one of them began to run to find Mrs. Bian. They knew that only Madame Bian could stop what this noble prince was doing. While others continue to block the door.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of me, and it seemed that someone had climbed the wall.

Cao Zhi hurriedly rubbed his eyes, for fear that he had seen it wrong.

"Someone has escaped!" He hurriedly shouted.

But where would the guards at the gate believe him, thinking that it was just his voice.

"Someone really escaped, chase after it."

Just now, several black shadows flashed in front of Cao Zhi's eyes, and one after another climbed over the wall.

He suddenly had a premonition in his heart, could it be that he would never see that pretty figure in the future?

A commotion immediately sounded in Cao's mansion, and the guards, Cao Zhi, immediately rushed into Zhen Ji's residence, but found that the building was empty.

"Chase!" Cao Zhi in turn commanded the guards in the palace to come and chase outside. The other party was able to rob Zhen Ji quietly, and it seemed that he was very familiar with this place. It is very likely that it is someone sent by Yuan Xi.

Cao Zhi was immediately anxious, although Zhen Ji didn't have any good colors for him, he still didn't want to lose this woman.

Then he chased him all the way to the outside of the house, but there was no one in sight.

Outside the walls of Caofu, under the moonlight, there are shadows of swaying branches, and under the mottled light and shadow, a figure is from far and near.

Cao Zhi furrowed his eyebrows, this person was his nemesis, Wu Zhi. The official position was to sing the order, but because of the rescue of Cao Pi, he stayed in Yecheng.

"Oh, Wu Jizhong, why are you here?"

Wu Zhen walked up to him, looked at him, and said, "Oh, I'm here to meet Mrs. Bian." ”

Cao Zhi said: "How is the situation on the second brother's side?" ”

Wu Zhi said: "Nanpi has been surrounded, and he will see the victory or defeat immediately, and his life is hanging by a thread." ”

Cao Zhi felt a little relieved, and then asked hesitantly, "Did you see someone passing by with a woman on his back just now?" ”

Wu Zhen showed a strange expression and said, "Is there anyone?" Nothing. ”

A vague thought flashed in Cao Zhi's heart, but before he was sure, he said to the guards behind him, "Keep chasing." ”

Wu Zhen watched them run outside, and a back figure was quietly aimed in the other direction.
