"You mean that last night Wang Yun secretly left Cao Yingshang to talk about late at night?" Lu Bu looked at the little guy in Wang Yun's mansion in front of him and asked.

"My lord, it is the villain who is responsible for delivering wine to Cao Ying, who is offline in the palace. He said that during the banquet, Wang Yun also summoned Mrs. Diao Chan over, and there was a meaning in his words that Mrs. Diao Chan was promised to Cao Ying. "That little guy surnamed Wang on Wang Yun's Mansion is actually a fine work sent by Lu Bu to Wang Yun's Mansion, and he is responsible for monitoring Wang Yun's every move in the Mansion and the task of protecting Diao Chan at critical moments.

"Humph! It seems that Cao Ying is still ready to do that, Wang Yun, an old horseman, wants to give Lu's cicada to others for the sake of this Han family! How unforgivable! Lu Bu pinched the copper wine cup in his hand into a ball of copper balls with one hand, and said hatefully.

"Does the lord need a villain to assassinate Wang Yun?" That Lu Bu asked softly.

Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about it for the time being, you will continue to keep an eye on Wang Yun after you go back, and as long as there is any trouble, you will report to me quickly." ”

"Obey!" That fine work gave Lu Bu a military salute and retreated.

A scribe came out from behind Lu Bu's screen, it was Jia Xu, the 'poisoner' who had just joined Lu Bu's camp. Jia Xu looked at the 'miserable' bronze cup on Lu Bu's case and said with a smile: "Does the lord attach great importance to that woman named Diao Chan?" ”

Lu Bu exhaled and said, "Diao Chan is my Lu Bu's woman, so Wang Yun is really too much this time." ”

Jia Xu said with a straight face: "Although 'My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good'." But the lord must not be too obsessed with it, now that the situation in Luoyang is confused, if we are not careful, we and the state army will have the same bad reputation as the Xiliang army. ”

Lu Bu nodded: "This is natural, Wen He rest assured, I won't mess around." And I suspect that good news is coming from the west side of Luoyang City soon. ”

"Is it about that Cao Ying?" Jia Xu said without thinking.

"Eh, how does Wenhe know?" Lu Bu asked in surprise, saying that these well-known strategists always hit Lu Bu very hard.

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Since that fine work just now said that Wang Yun kept Cao Ying to discuss important matters until late at night, and even risked offending the lord to take the woman named Diao Chan as a reward, then Wang Yun must ask Cao Ying to do something he wanted to do but didn't dare to do." Wang Yun has always claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han family, and now Dong Zhuo dominates the court and disrupts the court. So I boldly guess that the upcoming news that the lord said must be related to Cao Ying and Cao Mengde. ”

Lu Bu sighed in admiration: "Wen He is really a rare talent in the world. ”

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Hahaha, didn't the lord also guess it?" Speaking of which, the lord even guessed faster than his subordinates, and the lord was so humble that this is what other subordinates admire. ”

Lu Bu just shook his head but didn't explain much, sometimes giving subordinates a little mystery is also a way to be a master. Lu Bu said softly: "Wen He, and call Yide for me, and we will go to save someone later." ”

Jia Xu didn't ask who the person to save was, but after saluting Lu Bu respectfully, he quickly walked out of the tent to find Zhang Fei. After all, although Jia Xu decided that Lu Bu was the main father, he was not a strategist who liked to get to the bottom of it, and he also guessed who the person to save was.

At the same time, the Xiangguo Mansion in the west of Luoyang City.

"Yo, Meng De is so late today, Xiangguo is already impatient." The one who spoke was Hu Zhen, the general who was in charge of guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Hehehe, the horses under it are really bad, and now they are skinny and bones, and Cao is reluctant to ride it, so he came." Cao Ying said that after waking up today, he had a lot of thoughts about whether to assassinate Dong Zhuo, so he came to Xiangguo's Mansion until noon.

"Meng De, hurry up and go in, Xiangguo has already sent someone to ask me several times, it seems that his old man attaches great importance to you." Hu Zhen's words faintly revealed a sourness.

If it were usual, Cao Ying might have replied with a few words of modesty, but now Cao Ying doesn't have the heart to care about the little role of Hu Zhen at all. After handing over the thin mount behind him directly to Hu Zhen, he walked quickly into Dong Zhuo's Xiangguo Mansion.

"Cao Ying is late, and I ask Dong Xiangguo to forgive him." Cao Ying crouched on the ground and said loudly.

Dong Zhuo, who had just finished lunch, patted his bulging belly and said, "Why did Meng De come so late?" We thought something had happened to you. ”

Cao Ying said calmly: "The price of grain and grass in the city is quite expensive today, Cao's car has been full for dozens of days and is now skinny, Cao has not taken care of his mount is already uneasy, so he can't bear to ride it anymore." So, Cao led the horse from the mansion and walked to the Xiangguo Mansion on foot. ”

"As a general, how can you not have a good horse? How can you say that you are also a general under our family, our Xiliang has always been famous for producing good horses, how can I wronged you to ride a weak horse? Huaxiong, you go to the army and choose a good horse to give to Meng De. Dong Zhuo casually said to Hua Xiong, the Xiliang brave general standing beside him.

Hua Xiong looked at Cao Ying contemptuously and snorted coldly, and walked out of Xiangguo's Mansion very unhappily. Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Meng Demo wants to meet these people in general, these people are rough people from a barbaric land, so they don't know the etiquette of my Central Plains. Let's go, come to the backyard to play chess with our family. This Lu Fengxian is very talented, and he actually created such a magical thing as 'chess'. ”

Cao Ying replied, and he slowly walked to the backyard of Xiangguo Mansion, where there were no guards, with the obese Dong Zhuo in his arms.

Cao Ying and Dong Zhuo fought against the wooden chessboard for a while, and Dong Zhuo suddenly felt sleepy. Dong Zhuo got up and said: "Meng De go to read some official documents first, our family is too sleepy, go to the couch to rest for a while, and then come back to continue to fight with Meng De after our family wakes up." ”

Cao Ying looked at Dong Zhuo, who was facing away from him, and his heart suddenly moved with murderous intent. But just as Cao Zhuo pulled out the seven-star knife on his waist that was as sharp as clay, Dong Zhuo actually saw Cao Ying's action of drawing the knife from the bronze mirror hanging on the wall, Dong Zhuo hurriedly turned over and shouted: "What does Meng De want?" ”

At this time, Hua Xiong, who went to find a good horse for Cao Ying, had returned, and Cao Ying hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "Cao got a treasure knife by chance, and he specially wanted to dedicate it to Xiangguo because he was grateful for Dong Xiangguo's cultivation." ”

Dong Zhuo took the seven-star knife that Cao Ying was holding, looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Meng De really didn't lie, this is indeed a rare treasure knife." ”

Cao Ying vaguely wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and when he saw Hua Xiong leading a yellow horse, Cao Ying pretended to be surprised and said, "This horse is such a miracle horse." ”

Dong Zhuo came back to his senses, looked at the horse and said with a smile: "This is one of our Xiliang Eight Horses, named Jueying." Although it is not as good as the red rabbit at the head of the eight horses, it is also a rare horse. Now we will give it to Mengde! ”

"Red Rabbit? Is it the divine horse under General Anbei, Bingzhou Mu, and Wen Hou Lu Bu's crotch? Cao Ying was really surprised this time, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to give him such a precious Maxima.

"Hahahaha, a good horse with a hero. Now we will give you this Shadow, I hope you can treat it well. Dong Zhuo boldly gave the Jueying to Cao Ying, which made Cao Zhuo feel for the first time that Dong Zhuo might not be so hateful, at least he did a very good job in being the master.

"Since this horse is such a divine horse, can you let Cao give it a try?" Cao Ying asked with a little expectation.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since it has been given to Meng De, then the absolute shadow is yours." Now you can certainly go and test the strength of this horse's feet. Oh yes, Meng De is going to come back early, our family is going to have a banquet in the evening to thank Meng De for giving the knife. ”

A cold sweat appeared on Cao Ying's forehead again, and he hurriedly promised and pulled the shadow out of Xiangguo's mansion. When he was out of the house, Cao Ying was only in a hurry, but he didn't expect to bump into a figure who was hurrying to the house.

Cao Ying looked at it and was dumbfounded, it turned out that this time Cao Ying bumped into Li Ru, the number one think tank in front of Dong Zhuo! Cao Ying was afraid that if things were entangled for too long, Dong Zhuo in the backyard would see through what he had just done, so he hurriedly helped Li Ru up and apologized a few times.

Li Ru saw that the 'daredevil' just now turned out to be Cao Ying, who had recently defected to Dong Zhuo, and the anger in his heart suddenly turned three points: "Why is Meng De so reckless today? It's not like you're used to be. ”

Cao Ying hurriedly said: "Cao Mou said that he got this thousand-mile horse presented by Dong Xiangguo today, so he was in a hurry to try the foot strength of this horse, but he didn't expect to collide with Master Li, I'm really sorry." ”

"Since that's the case, forget it, Meng De can pay more attention next time." Li Ru is an empathetic strategist, so he didn't continue to dwell on this trivial matter with Cao Ying.

Cao Ying hurriedly led the shadow out of the Xiangguo Mansion as if he had been amnestied, and as soon as he got out of the Xiangguo Mansion, Cao Ying turned over and fled to the north gate of Luoyang.

said that when Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo's backyard, he saw Hua Xiong talking to Dong Zhuo with a gloomy face, and it was obvious that Dong Zhuo's unhappiness came from what Hua Xiong said. Li Ru stepped forward curiously and asked, "Lord, what's wrong?" Hey, how can this have a short knife? ”

Dong Zhuo exhaled and said, "Wen You came just in time, our family is hesitant about one thing." Dong Zhuo told the story of Cao Ying's sudden sacrifice of the knife.

"Now Hua Xiong said that Cao Ying intended to assassinate, but he was discovered by our family, so he pretended to offer a knife. Wen You has always been resourceful, do you want to assassinate this Cao Mengde or sacrifice a knife? Dong Zhuo asked with some concern.

Li Ru thought for a moment and then said: "This matter is extremely easy to distinguish, as long as the lord sends someone to find Cao Ying now and comes to Xiangguo's mansion immediately, he can tell it." Because if Cao Ying comes, it means that there is no ghost in his heart, and this time he is offering a knife. If Cao Ying didn't come under his pretext, then he must have intended to assassinate him this time, so there is a ghost in his heart! ”

ps: Cao Ying's assassination of Dong Zhuo is indispensable, because it is up to him to lead out Chen Gong
