Cao Ju said with a smile: "If not, how can I take you down." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

At this time, Dian Wei also led someone to step forward, took down the assassin, and lifted the cloth from his face, revealing a white face of about thirty years and beard.

"Qu Mu?"

Cao Ju recognized this assassin as the Shangfang eunuch Qu Mu in the palace, that is, the eunuch who killed He Jin in history, because of this, Cao Ju paid special attention to him, but he didn't want this person to assassinate him late at night.

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were more than 3,000 eunuchs in the South Palace and the North Palace, not to mention newcomers like Cao Ju, even Liu Mu, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, couldn't recognize much.

Qu Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "The Guardian Ling makes the Lord recognize the miscellaneous family?" ”

Cao Ju smiled and said: "I recognize it, but I don't know that your martial arts are so powerful, hehe, Qu Mu, who are you instructed by, and what do you want?" ”

"Hmph." Qu Mu sneered and said, "Lord Guardian Ling, since the miscellaneous family has fallen into your hands, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it, but if you want the miscellaneous family to confess, you can't." ”

"Hey, okay." If Qu Mu really said a name now, Cao Ju couldn't believe it, so he waved his hand and said, "Brother Dian, first detain him, and then interrogate him slowly after I report to the emperor tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Dian Wei hugged his fists and ordered the two guards to take Qu Mu to the prison.

Looking at Qu Mu's back, Cao Ju thought to himself, it seems that Zhang should have made them can't wait and is ready to do it, but, what is more strange is that why did Zhang Rang and others attack the emperor?

Cao Ju was not sure whether Zhang Rang and the others had sent Qu Mu alone, so he immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Rang and suggested increasing the number of Yulin in the North Palace, while he led the guards to temporarily strengthen the defense of Changle Palace, Changning Palace and Yong'an Palace before the additional Imperial Forest Army arrived.

Changle Palace is where the Empress Dowager He and Empress Dowager Dong live, Changning Palace is where the three princesses live, Yong'an Palace is the residence of the emperor Liu Bian, of course, in addition, there is also the Ciyun Palace where the emperor's concubines live. It's just that Liu Bian is young, and there is only one queen at present, which is Tang Ji.

Cao Ju came to Changning Palace and found that Liu Mu, the princess of Wannian, was standing at the gate of the palace, accompanied by two palace maids.

Cao Ju's heart moved, and he immediately stepped forward, saluted Liu Mu, and asked, "It's already dark at night, why hasn't Her Royal Highness the princess gone back to rest?" ”

Liu Mu looked at Cao Ju affectionately and asked softly: "General Cao is fine, the palace is relieved, I don't know if the assassin has been caught?" ”

It turned out that she was worried about me, Cao Ju smiled slightly: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the assassin has been caught by the lowly position, and it turned out to be the Shang Fang Supervisor Qu Mu, which is really unexpected by the lowly position." ”

Liu Mu didn't know Qu Mu, and he didn't care who he was, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and secretly thought, it turned out to be a eunuch, it's okay, otherwise, the reputation of me and my two aunts would not be able to be saved.

However, Liu Mu suddenly thought of it again, Qu Mu is a eunuch, but Cao Ju is not, just now Cao Ju has seen the scene of the three of them wearing obscene clothes. Liu Mu is better, because it is not the first time that she has walked in front of Cao Ju, and she admires him, and the Empress Dowager He even agreed to propose marriage to Cao Ju, and there will definitely be no surprises.

However, what about Princess Liu Jian of Yingyin and Princess Liu Xuan of Yangzhai, their appearance of wearing obscene clothes was seen by Cao Ju, and if it spread, it would definitely damage their reputation. Of course, there will be no accidents if she kills Cao Ju, but Liu Mu is definitely reluctant, not to mention that she still has the heart to recruit Cao Ju as a concubine.

The two palace maids walked up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, it's not too early, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to go back to the palace to rest." ”

Liu Mu frowned and said, "You guys retreat first, there are assassins in the North Palace tonight, and the Palace has a few words to explain to General Cao." ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." The two palace maids glanced at each other, responded in unison, and retreated to the vicinity of the palace gate, not far away, and could basically hear the conversation between Cao Ju and Liu Mu.

Cao Ju's heart moved, and he thought secretly, it seems that these two palace maids are used to spy on Liu Mu, well, I don't know if it was Empress Dowager He's people, or He Jin's people, or Zhang Rang and others sent them.

Cao Ju smiled slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the addition of the Royal Forest Army has not yet arrived, so it is better to let the humble post accompany you for a walk." ”

So shrewd, Liu Mu secretly praised in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, there is General Lao Cao." ”

The two palace maids hurriedly shouted, "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's too dangerous......"

Liu Mu's face sank, and he shouted: "You guys are waiting here, this palace is accompanied by General Cao, what is there to be dangerous." ”

Helpless, the two palace maids had to watch Liu Mu and Cao Ju leave together, glanced at each other, and sighed together.

One after the other, after the two were silent for a while, Cao Ju opened his mouth first: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Queen Mother has already asked for a humble position just now, and the humble position is about to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for her favor." ”

With a brush, Liu Mu's pretty face immediately turned red, his head was lowered, his heart was beating faster, and he didn't know how to answer.

Pure princess, mature queen mother, Cao Ju turned his head to look at Liu Mu's pretty face, his heart fluttered, and he secretly thought, this kind of life is also very good, but as soon as Dong Da Fat Man comes, at least the Queen Mother He can't keep it, but Liu Mu can, when the time comes, he can take Liu Mu out of the palace and return to live in the city.

Cao Ju immediately changed the topic and chatted with Liu Mu about his story of chopping and sending firewood, and after a while, Liu Mu was fascinated by it, and even interjected a few words from time to time.

The two of them circled around the North Palace, and it took half an hour for them to return to the gate of Changning Palace, at this time, the reinforcement of the Royal Forest Army had arrived, Cao Ju looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not too early, you go back and rest." ”

"Hmm." Liu Mu nodded and said with a slight smile, "Thank you, General Cao, the story you told is very good, the palace likes to listen to it, and I really want to go out of the palace to have a look." ”

Cao Ju smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you will have a chance soon." ”

Cao Ju said that Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, but Liu Mu misunderstood, thinking that Cao Ju was talking about the marriage of the two, and then she could move out of the palace and live in the Horse Mansion.

This girl, true love blushed, Cao Ju didn't know that Liu Mu had misunderstood, and watched her walk into Changning Palace, and then turned around and left.

The night passed quickly, and no second assassin appeared, and it seemed that Zhang Rang and the others only sent Qu Mu alone.

After dawn, Cao Ju didn't sleep all night, so he immediately left the North Palace and went to the General's Mansion in Buguangli to report the matter to He Jin.

When Cao Ju arrived at the General's Mansion, He Jin hadn't gotten up yet, so Cao Ju had to wait in the mansion.

When he was bored, Cao Ju went to the back garden of the General's Mansion, but found that Yin was playing with two maids and a wet nurse in the back garden with He Yan.
