"Bang dang!"

In the mansion of the general of Xuchang Xiaocai, where Cao Cao was sleeping, the door was rudely slammed open by the close attendant. Cao Cao, who had just gotten up and was dressing and washing under the service of the four beauties, was about to get angry, but after the panicked report of the servant, it was the copper bottle that Cao Cao had handed over to the beautiful woman to rinse his mouth and fell to the ground.

"What did you say?" Cao Cao grabbed the clothes of the panicked waiter who was kneeling on the ground, his extremely thin eyes were also round, condescending, and asked in a fierce voice.

"Heavenly ...... The assassination of the Son of Heaven...... Drive...... Crashed. Although the chamberlain was very afraid of Cao Cao, who suddenly became angry, he did not dare to hesitate at Cao Cao's question, and he forcibly suppressed the trembling all over his body, and said in a panic.

"Humph!" Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and his eyes narrowed into a line again, making people unable to see through Cao Cao's thoughts now, but slowly let go of the hand holding the waiter, slowly sat on the couch, pondered for a moment, Cao Cao's words returned to a calm coldness, and asked the waiter who was still kneeling on the ground trembling: "When did this happen, have you ever found out who did it?" ”

"Return to my lordship." Cao Cao's calmness eased the pressure of the inner servant kneeling on the ground a little, and his speech became a lot smoother, and he swallowed his saliva carefully, only then did he dodge Cao Cao's forced gaze, and said: "According to the two generals Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, who were ordered to enter the palace to clean the palace last night, at least at the third watch, the Son of Heaven is still fine." At about two minutes after the third watch, the eunuch of the Son of Heaven found that the Son of Heaven had been assassinated to warn. At that time, the Son of Heaven had already been assassinated. ”

"According to your intentions, that is to say, it is very likely that the palace people committed the murder?" Cao Cao's expression was noncommittal. asked lightly.

"I think so, right?" The chamberlain said worriedly. In fact, it is not impossible, the son of the old Liu family has always acted strangely, and there was a previous conviction that the emperor was almost strangled to death by the palace people. So the waiter's words sound a bit ridiculous, but it is indeed a possibility. "But ......"

"But what?" Cao Cao's patience seemed to be excellent today, and he was not angry because of the intermittent speech of the chamberlain, and he still had a calm face and asked.

"No!" Perhaps it was Cao Cao's calm face that eased the panic caused by the shocking news a lot. said: "It's just that when General Xu Huang was patrolling Fang City in the early morning, he once met two eunuchs who escaped from the palace. It is said that it was because of the change in the palace and the old age that he wanted to flee to the people. General Xu Huang has always been soft-hearted, and let him go without asking for details. At this moment, I will report that it is a big deal. According to General Xu Huang, the appearance of the two is speculated, and they are very similar...... It's like Yuan Shang and the two thieves who the lord wants to search. ”

"Huh?" When the chamberlain said this, it seemed that Cao Cao's interest had just been aroused. The corners of his eyes twitched, and his voice became more and more softened: "You mean to say." Most likely, it was last night's movement. disturbed these two thieves, so that they had the opportunity to assassinate the Son of Heaven and create chaos, so as to take the opportunity to escape from heaven? ”

"This ...... It's ......" Although no emotion could be heard from Cao Cao's questioning, the chamberlain intuitively felt that something was not quite right with Cao Cao, but he still said stubbornly.

In other words, it was because Cao was incompetent that he made this decision. It made these two thieves panic and cornered. Do you want to do this kind of rebellion? Cao Cao's voice finally cooled down, and the chilling killing intent made the inner servant stunned. Immediately, his face was full of anxiety, as if he wanted to argue something, but who expected Cao Cao to give him no chance to speak at all, and said: "In your words, it was Cao who aroused the killing intent of the two thieves!" The one who let the two thieves escape from the palace was Zi and Tong Wenlie! And the one who let these two thieves go privately was Xu Gongming, who was entrusted with an important task by an unknown person, yes or no? ”

"Lord...... Lord...... I didn't ...... Lord's life! Lord's life! The waiter was only now alarmed, grabbed the ground with his head, and after a while, the blood flowed profusely, but he still kowtowed, crying and begging for mercy.

"You've been serving Cao for almost five years, right? It has been more than a year for a certain generation to take charge of the source of information! has been working hard, to be honest, I have suffered you! Cao Cao turned a blind eye to the tearful words of the servant begging for mercy. He muttered as if he were talking to himself.

"Lord, villain...... The villain is willing to smear his liver and brain for the main public cause! Hearing Cao Cao suddenly talk about the past, although the intuition in his heart became more and more uneasy, he still saw a little hope of Cao Cao's pity. Lian Lian expressed his loyalty, and at the same time carefully observed Cao Cao's face with the corner of his eye.

"Of all the chamberlains, you are actually the most caring! Also the most trusted! Cao Cao noticed the gaze of the chamberlain, as if affirming his merits, nodded at the chamberlain, and saw that the chamberlain's eyes were full of joy, but he suddenly changed his words, his tone became cold, and said, "But what have you done?!" You're just a waiter, what do you know? But here to guess Cao's thoughts! Framing the Imperial Ministers! Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and Xu Huang are the generals of the imperial court! Is it you and other villains who can talk lightly? When something like this happened, in order to shirk responsibility, he was still thinking about making waves of dirty water! is still alluding to Zihe and Wen Lie to provoke palace changes, Gongming is soft-hearted, and let go of the robbers? A certain general, is it your district servant who can be evaluated? Hum! Besides, the reason for this, in the final analysis, is it not because you neglected your duties and did not find out the identities of those two people earlier? Not? Come! ”

"My lord! Spare your life, my lord! For the sake of the villain's years of hard work, spare your life, my lord! The more Cao Cao spoke, the heavier the words became, so that the chamberlain finally understood that Cao Cao was afraid that he wanted to kill him from the beginning. While he was extremely frightened in his heart, he was also very proud of himself before, thinking that he was familiar with Cao Cao's thoughts, and felt ridiculous and pathetic. Seeing that Cao Cao was not moved by his words begging for mercy, the waiter's eyes were filled with despair.

"This person pretended to be a military machine, cleverly argued, slandered the general, spread rumors, and pulled out and beheaded!" Cao Cao's indifferent face did not show a trace of emotion. Ignoring the desperate eyes of the servant in front of him, he waved his hand at the soldiers who were already waiting at the door, and shouted coldly.

"My lord, Mr. Xun Yu and Mr. Xun Yu and the three generals Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and Xu Huang ask to see me." Just when the inner attendant was dragged out of Cao Cao's dormitory by the soldiers, the servant came to report.

"Ask them to change their clothes later." As if he had just killed someone, he couldn't stay in Cao Cao's heart for a moment, Cao Cao groaned and said lightly. When the servant received the order, Cao Cao, who was alone, showed an anxious and anxious look on his face. The copper bottle on the ground was hit again and was kicked away by Cao Cao.

Emperor! It took all kinds of efforts, so much effort, and several years to win the banner of righteousness of the Son of Heaven in the hands of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, the two thieves, and Ma Teng Han Sui. And before the strength was unstable and the princes were not satisfied, he pulled down his face and pretended to be a grandson in front of the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials for a long time, so that it was easy to pass the deterrence of Hebei, the deterrence of the bloody night in Xuchang, and the clever operation, only to the point where the hundred officials were shocked and the Son of Heaven was jealous, and he acquiesced that Cao someone, who had returned to the court, could borrow the prestige of the imperial court.

Cao Cao can almost imagine that once this "habit" or convention is formed, the rapid development of Cao's power is just around the corner. As long as he marries Liu Xie again, he will be able to use the banner of the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven to gain more political capital, so that no one dares to rebel; Then rely on the benefits of the soldiers, sweep the eight wildernesses and pacify Liuhe, and become an immortal achievement. At that time, what Gongsun Zhan, the children of the Yuan family, and a group of relatives of the Han family and the rebels who surrendered to Cheng will all become the stepping stones of his Cao, even if Lu Bu has the Son of Heaven as a shield, he will no longer be regarded as the number one enemy and is helpless.

Cao Cao has never felt so smooth since he started his army. And Cao Jun is also under the influence of Cao Cao's mentality, the soldiers will use their lives, and the ministers will be dedicated, waiting to show their strength. But suddenly someone said, Brother Cao, don't be busy, the Son of Heaven is hanging. This makes Cao Cao embarrassed.

That's fine. After all, because Liu Xie was put on the throne by Dong Zhuo, in the eyes of many "thoughtful" and "thoughtful" Han clan relatives, such as Jingxiang Liu Biao and Yizhou Liu Yan, it was not right to win the country, even Yuan Shao in Hebei had the idea of setting up another son of heaven back then. It can be said that all the other princes who see him Cao someone is not pleasing to the eye, or covet the resources obtained by his Cao someone's development speed, but they dare not move because of their strength, will they think so?

Indeed, in this matter, he Cao Cao really has the posture of a "victim". But just like Cao Cao's rhetorical words before when he was beheaded, if it weren't for him Cao Cao sending troops to "clean" the palace in the middle of the night, would such a series of things happen? And this move itself is particularly easy to "misunderstand" and cannot be explained at all. Now Cao Cao really feels what it means to lose his crotch with yellow mud.

What worries Cao Cao even more is that there is much more to it. Just now, the servant came to report that in addition to Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and Xu Huang, the three Cao Cao henchmen and generals, the uncles and nephews of the Xun family also came to ask to see them, which made Cao Cao have a headache. Cao Cao never doubted the loyalty of Xun Yu and Xun You, who were comparable to Xiao He and Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty. But Cao Cao knew more about these two people, especially Xun Yu, who were the real diehards of the Han family. I'm afraid that just explaining last night's behavior to this old brother will take a lot of effort, let alone clearing the suspicion of killing the king. The troubles are all because of the strong head. Now Cao Cao even has some doubts that the plan of borrowing the Son of Heaven to promote the Han Dynasty and achieve the cause of the king is not proportional in terms of the ultimate risks and benefits.

Thinking that overnight, he was so satisfied that he suddenly fell from the sky to the mortal world, Cao Cao suddenly had some envy for his "old neighbor" Lu Bu for some reason.

It is foreseeable that once this thing that can't contain the fire is known to the world, what kind of hostile scene will he Cao Cao face? He, Cao Cao, alone fought against the world's heroes with the power of the five states? As Lu Bu, who has the same identity, status, strength, and strength, but was always reprimanded by Cao Cao as a reckless man in the mountains, but because he withdrew from the Hebei dispute early and retained his strength, not to mention, this time he will definitely become the biggest beneficiary as long as Cao's forces are in chaos and are attacked by the world.

That's not going to work! Where can there be such a cheap thing, so that the luck is so good that it is off the charts, just because he got a good son-in-law, he can profit as easily as Lu Bu, who is now powerful? Looking down at the name embroidered with gold thread on the bottom of the sleeve of the robe, Cao Cao, who was frowning, suddenly had a plan in his heart.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. (To be continued......)
