Chapter 225: Assassination

In the following days, both Yuan Shao's envoy group and Gongsun Zhan's envoy group were very stable. Of course, this is for the people of Xuchang City. For the two missions, it was not the kind of stability that everyone saw.

At first, it was okay, but since Tian Feng figured it out, he didn't take the initiative to go to Gongsun Zhan's mission to find trouble. However, to Tian Feng's surprise, he didn't have trouble going to Gongsun Zhan's mission, but Gongsun Zhan's delegation came to find his own trouble.

On the way back from visiting Taiwei Du Chen, Tian Feng encountered the assassination of others. Fortunately, he was alert enough to avoid the assassin's assassination and avoid such a crisis.

Surrounded by many guards, Tian Feng returned to his post house. However, it was not that Tian Feng didn't want to pursue the assassins, but after he found out that someone had assassinated him, the soldiers of the Cao army had already appeared there, so Tian Feng had no way to pursue them.

Back at the post house, Tian Feng's brows condensed into a Sichuan character, because the stabbing he encountered today was full of weirdness. These doubts made Tian Feng a little overwhelmed. It stands to reason that martial law in Xuchang City is so strict now, but that assassin still dares to assassinate himself, Tian Feng has to admire, but the assassin's courage is very great.

And, in addition, Cao Jun's appearance was too weird. As soon as he discovered the assassin and was about to order someone to come forward to arrest him, Cao's soldiers appeared in front of him. For this, Tian Feng was also puzzled.

If this is just a coincidence, then Cao Jun's sudden appearance is really a coincidence and there is no way to explain it. But if this incident is not a coincidence, could it be that Cao Jun wanted to shield the assassin?

If this is really the case, then Tian Feng is even more confused. Why did Cao Jun shield an assassin who had come to assassinate him?

It stands to reason that he has no enemies, and the only one who wants to assassinate him is Gongsun Zhan's mission. Then there would be no one else. Assassinate himself, and then Gongsun Chan was able to tie Cao Jun to his chariot. Moreover, Tian Feng also thought of this method, but it was canceled because of the martial law in Xuchang City.

If the assassin was really Gongsun Zhan's envoys, then Cao Jun's shielding of the assassins sent by Gongsun Chan shows that Gongsun Chan had reached some secret agreement with Cao Cao. If that's really the case. That's a bad situation for me.

But after thinking about it for a while, Tian Feng felt that this idea was not reasonable. If Cao Cao really allied himself with Gongsun Zhan, then Cao Cao could naturally kill himself. After all, he was in the Cao camp, and he was surrounded by the Cao army.

Moreover, with the strength of Cao's army, they categorically would not send assassins to carry out assassinations. Cao Cao wanted to die by himself, there were absolutely countless ways, and they all did it when he had no way to detect it. There was no need to find an assassin to assassinate him, and he was so above board.

If it weren't for Cao Jun shielding the assassins. Could it be that Cao Jun sent it to protect him. After that idea was rejected by himself just now, Tian Feng came up with another idea, and this idea was somewhat realistic.

The reason why Xuchangcheng was under martial law was not to prevent himself from having any conflict with Gongsun Zhan's mission. After all, the current Cao army belongs to the neutral stage, and if they do not achieve their intentions, they will not let themselves fight with Gongsun Zhan's delegation to lose both.

Moreover, if one of the two sides really has any problems, the impact on Cao Jun will be very huge. After all. The death of one party will tighten the relationship between Cao Cao and the other party.

For this. Cao Cao never expected to see it. After all, if he has a competitor, Cao Jun can use this to increase the chips in his hand, and if Tian Feng wants to complete the task smoothly, he will pay much more than he expected.

Thinking of this, Tian Feng's expression turned into a bitter face again. It's been a long time since I arrived in Xuchang. Except for seeing Cao Cao on the palace hall, Cao Cao has not met him for the rest of the time. I went to visit several times, but I was refused to come back by the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In addition to Cao Cao, Tian Feng also tried to take the line of Du Chen, and compared with Cao Cao. The refusal of the Taiwei Mansion was even more cold. A sentence that Lord Taiwei was recuperating, so Tian Feng had no room to refute.

However, according to what Tian Feng himself learned, although Du Chen was indeed seriously ill for a period of time ago, it was already the old yellow calendar, Du Chen's illness was already clear, and not long after he recovered from his serious illness, he also personally presided over the construction of the medical center, is this a person who needs to recuperate.

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Even if Tian Feng knew that this was a perfunctory remark, he could only listen to it as true.

In addition to Du Chen, Tian Feng also went to the homes of other important ministers of Cao Jun. Unlike Cao Cao Du Chen's mansion, the other important ministers of Cao Jun visited by Tian Feng did not turn him away. However, when he wanted everyone to reveal the information about the alliance between the two armies, everyone shook their heads and rejected themselves.

In this regard, Tian Feng was even more helpless. Although Xun Yu and others are all important ministers in the court, it is obvious that their status is not as good as Du Chen, and they cannot be the master. Therefore, the matter of forming an alliance still has to be discussed with Cao Cao or Du Chen, because only these two people have the right to decide.

Just when Tian Feng was full of thoughts, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the door. Tian Feng collected his thoughts, and then called the guards in.

"My lord, Cao Jun sent someone to visit you, and he is outside the door at this time." The guard came to Tian Feng's side and said.

Tian Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, then turned his head to the guards and hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" ”

"Shang Shuling, Lord Xun Yuxun." The guard hurriedly spoke.

Hearing that it was Xun Yu, Tian Feng's eyes couldn't help but dim again. Although Xun Yu is also an important minister of Cao Jun, his status is not as important as Du Chen. Moreover, Xun Yu himself has visited, but the effect is not very ideal.

But since Cao Jun is here, it is not bad for him. After all, during the time I came to Xuchang, I was visiting others everywhere, and no one had ever visited me in person. This assassination can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but I hope that after this incident, the next thing can be very smooth.

"Don't hurry up yet, please!" Tian Feng hurriedly said. Although Xun Yu's status cannot be compared with Du Chen, he is also an important minister in the court, and he is the number two person under Cao Cao. At important moments, Xun Yu can also play a key role. As long as you can have a good relationship with him, you can still complete your tasks to some extent.

Hearing Tian Feng's order, the guards hurriedly walked out. A moment later, Xun Yu walked in.

Xun Yu saw Tian Feng and hurriedly stepped forward. He came to Tian Feng's side and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Hao, how are you doing?" ”

"Let Wen Ruo worry, Feng is in good health, although the assassin intended to commit murder, but before that, Feng had already detected it." Tian Feng hurriedly said. While speaking, Tian Feng kept looking at Xun Yu, but he didn't find any valuable clues on Xun Yu's face.

"It's fine." Xun Yu nodded. Xun Yu came here on order, he listened to Cao Cao's order, saying that Tian Feng, the envoy of Yuan Benchu, was assassinated, so he came to visit to express his guilt.

explained his intention to Tian Feng, and Tian Feng was somewhat comforted. It seems that Cao Cao did not completely ignore himself, and at some point, Cao Cao would still remember that there was such a number one person as himself.

In addition to explaining his intentions, Xun Yu also brought Tian Feng the news that he dreamed of, that is, Cao Cao planned to invite Tian Feng tomorrow to shock Tian Feng.

In this regard, Tian Feng can be said to be flattered, this time it may really be a blessing in disguise. I have visited Cao Cao for so long, but Cao Cao has excused himself for various reasons. And now, Cao Cao finally showed up, and sent Xun Yu to inform him, it was obvious that this matter was true, and Xun Yu had no reason to deceive himself.

Tian Feng hurriedly thanked Xun Yu, after all, he had been waiting for this time for a long time, and Tian Feng said that it was false that he was not excited.

After thanking Xun Yu, Tian Feng asked again; "I don't know if Wen Ruo knows, has the assassin who assassinated Feng been caught?" The assassin was arrested by Cao Jun, and after Tian Feng saw Cao Jun intervening, he did not order anyone to continue the pursuit, so Tian Feng didn't know anything about the follow-up.

Hearing this, Xun Yu nodded, but his expression was not very good. And Tian Feng obviously saw Xun Yu's expression, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to him?" ”

Xun Yu looked at Tian Feng, and then said: "I'm ashamed to say that although I caught this assassin, I never thought that the assassin's mouth contained poison, and when he was caught, he took the poison and is now dead." ”

Hearing the news, Tian Feng was slightly shocked. He couldn't have imagined that in order to assassinate himself, the other party worked very hard. Obviously, the Assassin is a well-bred dead soldier by others, and if he does not succeed, he will become a benevolent, and since he cannot kill himself, and he is captured, he can only die.

Now that the Assassin is dead, the clue is broken. However, through the various expressions of Cao Jun, Tian Feng finally locked the assassin as sent by Gongsun Zhan. After all, apart from Gongsun Zhan, it was difficult for Tian Feng to come up with someone who wanted his life so much.

"Do you want Yuan Hao to take a look at the corpse and confirm if this person is the assassin who assassinated you?" Xun Yu suddenly asked.

And Tian Feng shook his head, since the person is dead, it doesn't make much sense to see it or not. Moreover, since Cao Cao planned to summon him, he could be regarded as a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for this assassin who came to assassinate him, Tian Feng really didn't know how long he would be dragged in. (To be continued......)
