The post house of Xudu is located in North Xuli.

When you go out, you can see an avenue that leads to Wumen Street.

After Liu Chuang took Xiahoulan and his party out of the gate of the post house, he was about to walk in the direction of Wumen Street, but suddenly heard a bowstring sound, and a sharp arrow came out of the alley on the left side of the gate of the post house. The appearance of this arrow was extremely sudden, which caught Liu Chuang a little off guard.

He instinctively drew his sword and snapped to block the sharp arrow, who knew that a shout came from the alley on the right: "Thief, take your life!" ”

In the alley, dozens of black-clothed people rushed out, and they rushed over with sharp weapons in their hands.

Liu Chuang frowned, and was about to catch up, only to hear Xia Houlan shout behind him: "Stop the assassin for me." ”

The ironclad guards stepped forward with Hulala, and Xia Houlan held a sword in both hands and stopped in front of Liu Chuang.

"Hengruo, there are archers in the alley on the left."

Xia Houlan didn't say a word, and rushed into the alley with his sword.

At the same time, Liu Chuang strode with his sword, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the crowd of assassins, and the giant sword flew over, the sword flashed, and several black-clothed assassins were stabbed to the ground by him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Assassins shouted and retreated.

Liu Chuang wanted to chase after him, but he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the direction of Wumen Street, and a team of patrols hurriedly ran over.

At the same time, nearly a hundred guards rushed out of the post house and protected Liu Chuang in the middle. Seeing this situation, Liu Chuang was also a little difficult to chase and kill the assassin again. Xiahou Lan ran from the alley on the left side, and said with a puzzled expression: "Childe, that assassin has committed suicide." ”

"You didn't kill you?"

"No, when I went over, I saw that the Assassin was dead.

Alley is a dead end. There are no other exits. So it is impossible for other accomplices to survive zài. It could only be that the Assassin committed suicide. ”

"Uncle Liuhuang, it's okay!"

A fast horse, galloping in the distance.

Immediately, the man was about thirty years old, and he was quite handsome.

Liu Chuang recognized this person, he was a son of Cao Cāo, named Cao Xiu, whose character was Wenlie, and joined the army for Sikong Mansion. Ruling Jin Wuhou, responsible for the security of Xudu.

Cao Xiu came to the door of the post house, and when he saw the appearance in front of him, he couldn't help frowning, revealing a touch of anger.

However, he still stepped forward to ask about Liu Chuang's safety first, and when he saw that Liu Chuang was fine, he persuaded him: "Uncle Liuhuang, it is really my fault that this kind of thing has happened in the capital city now. Please ask Uncle Liu Huang to return to the post house temporarily. Don't go out lightly. After I thoroughly investigate this matter and report it to Sikong. I will definitely do justice to Uncle Huang. ”

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, nodded and did not object.

He also knew that in this capital city, I don't know how many people want him to die.

It's just that he still feels a little strange, because today's assassination is really a little weird, and he feels ......

"In this case, please ask General Wenlie."

Liu Chuang surrendered his hand and returned to the post station with Xiahoulan and the ironclad guards.

After Liu Chuang returned to the post station, Cao Xiu ordered someone to check the scene. He dismounted and walked over to the bodies of the men in black, squatted down and ripped off the face toggles off their faces. What caught his eye was a few unfamiliar faces, which made Cao Xiu frown. He ordered the weapons used by the Assassins to be brought over, but he did not see any clues. Dead? In Cao Xiu's mind, these two words suddenly flashed.

If it is a dead man, then there is a lot involved behind it.

Cao Xiu did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly ordered someone to send the assassin's body and weapons to Sikong Mansion, and at the same time sent people around the post station to strictly enforce jǐng rings.

"Hengruo, I always feel that there is something strange about the assassination of today."

After returning to the residence, Liu Chuang immediately ordered the ironclad guards to quit outside, and then called Xiahou Lan into the house.

"Weird?" Xiahou Lan showed a puzzled look and asked softly, "Childe, what's so strange?" ”

"I always feel that these assassins don't seem to want to assassinate me, it's more like, it's more like ......" Liu Chuang couldn't say how he felt, rubbed his cheeks, and said to himself: "These assassins are more like assassinating me for the sake of assassinating me, and they don't seem to want to take my life." ”

Assassination for the sake of assassination? Isn't that still going to be assassinated?

Xia Houlan was a little confused, and she didn't quite understand the meaning of Liu Chuang's words.

Liu Chuang said: "I can't tell you clearly, but I just feel that they don't want to take my life......"

Yes, this assassination seems too sudden and too simple.

Liu Chuang is known for his courage and is well known to the world.

If someone really wanted to assassinate Liu Chuang, they would never act so simply. I remember that two years ago in Gaomi, Liu Chuang also suffered an assassination, which was instigated by Peng Xuan. But Liu Chuang remembered that the assassination was extremely dangerous, and the other party arranged three consecutive killings, which can be described as extremely thorough. Peng Xuan can make such a careful assassination arrangement, but today's assassination seems very simple and has no technical content.

This is also where Liu Chuang is most confused.

If Cao Cāo wanted to kill him, he would not have done so in such a way, and it might even have been done with great fanfare.

If it was Cao Cāo's songs, he would not have used such a simple way, or even sent only a few dozen people...... At the very least, they will have some weighty assassins. Liu Chuang couldn't figure out who could have arranged such an ugly assassination?

He stood up, lingered in the room for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Hengruo, let's not ask about this matter again, it won't take too long to see the mystery of this." ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The assassination outside the gate of the post house soon spread throughout the city of Xu.

When Liu Bei heard the news at his residence, he couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing, "If you want that little thief, dare to be rampant?" ”

"Xuande Gong, don't be complacent."

Chen Deng couldn't help but say: "I always feel that this assassination is strange. ”

"Weird?"

"Yes, this assassination came too suddenly, and according to the post guards present at the time, the means of assassination were also very simple.

In this capital city, although there are countless enemies with Liu Chuang, if it is said that the one who wants to put Liu Chuang to death the most. It seems that there is only Xuande Gong alone. I know. Xuan Degong has nothing to do with this matter. But inevitably others will take care of it. It involves Xuande Gong, you.

No matter what you say, Na Chuang Er came by the edict of the Son of Heaven and waited for the Son of Heaven to summon him.

Now that this kind of thing has happened, if you don't get it right, you will be involved in it...... These two rì, Xuande Gong should be more careful, so as not to be caught and hurt his feet. In addition, Xuande Gong, you'd better go to Sikong and show your heart to Sikong. lest Cao Gong finally misunderstand. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, the spirit of the spirit shuddered.

He suddenly realized that behind this assassination, I am afraid there are other mysteries hidden.

I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, and hurriedly nodded and said, "What Yuanlong said is very true, I'm going to visit Cao Gong." ”

It's just that when Liu Bei was about to visit Cao Cāo, he found that it was too late.

He was about to go out with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but saw a team of ironclad soldiers come to his residence and surrounded Liu Bei's mansion.

The general who led the troops. It is Cao Xiu, the Marquis of Jinwu.

Cao Xiu said: "Xuande Gong, there is a fate. Please ask Xuande Gong to go to Sikong Mansion for questioning.

From today on, if there is no order, it is best not to go out of Xuandegong. At the same time, please restrain the subordinates and do not act rashly...... Uncle Liu Huang was stabbed outside the post house today, and many people thought that it was Xuande Gong who prompted him, so that he questioned Sikong in front of him, and Sikong had no choice but to do it. ”

"What does this mean?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious, stood up and shouted, "Could it be that my brother has become a prisoner?" ”

"Yide, shut up."

Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei, and then arched his hand to Cao Xiu and said, "Wen Lie, I was about to go to see Sikong, and this matter has nothing to do with me." ”

Cao Xiu said: "Sikong also knows that this matter has nothing to do with Xuande Gong.

However, many spearheads were pointed at Xuande Gong, so Sikong issued this order. Xuande Gong, let's go and see Sikong first, as long as Xuande Gong is cleared of suspicion, nothing will happen. The point is that Sikong now has to give an explanation to all the ministers and His Majesty. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled bitterly......

Liu Chuang was suddenly stabbed, which made Xu Du's atmosphere suddenly become tense.

Initially, some people thought it was Cao Cāo's doing.

Zhao Yan even accused Cao Cāo of disrespecting the Son of Heaven and not protecting Liu Chuang well. In response, Cao Cāo tried his best to defend himself, saying that the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Uncle Liu Huang came here under the edict, why hasn't the Son of Heaven seen Uncle Liu so far?"

"Uncle Liu Huang came here with an edict, and meeting the Son of Heaven is a big event, and it needs to be done well, so as not to lose the face of the Heavenly Family.

Zhao Yilang, please rest assured, a certain has been reported to the Son of Heaven, and Ji Rì has been chosen. Early in the morning, Uncle Liu Huang should meet the Son of Heaven in Yuxiu Terrace, so please don't worry. The assassination of Uncle Liu Huang this time was an oversight of a certain person. I have ordered someone to strengthen the protection of the post house, and I will protect the safety of Uncle Liu Huang. ”

Zhao Yan listened, and then stopped.

Subsequently, Cao cāo sent Liu Bei again, and after asking in detail, he said with a wry smile: "Xuande, I'm afraid these two rì will wronged you, before Liu Chuang meets the Son of Heaven, please don't leave the mansion for half a step." You know, the current situation is not good for you. Many spearheads are pointed at you, thinking that it was Xuande that you sent assassins to assassinate Liu Chuang. And for now, it's you who are the most suspicious. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but cry out, "Gong Cao, I admit that I have a grudge with Uncle Liu Huang, and I am indeed very resentful of him.

But Uncle Liu Huang was allowed by the edict of the Son of Heaven, how could I go and sweep the face of the Son of Heaven? This matter really has nothing to do with me, and I ask Cao Gong to investigate. ”

Of course I know that this matter has nothing to do with you.

But the problem now is that the situation is complicated.

If I don't clean you up, I'm afraid I'll be implicated......

Of course, it was impossible for Cao Cāo to sue Liu Bei, and after the news of Liu Chuang's assassination spread, Zhong Xuan Xun Yu Xun was ...... Even Guo Jia, including Guo Jia, came to plead with him. What does this mean? This shows that Liu Chuang's assassination has touched the bottom line of the Yingchuan family.

If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to cause conflicts between Cao Cāo and the Yingchuan clan.

After all, Cao Cāo had promised Zhong Xuan that he would not harm Liu Chuang's life.

Not to mention, a cadre of the Han family is also behind the scenes...... If Cao cāo didn't take any action, he couldn't say it at all.

Liu Bei and Liu Chuang have a feud, and he still has 800 white men under him, which can be called a dead man.

To be honest, if Cao Cāo didn't know, Liu Bei wouldn't have made such an unwise move, and maybe he would have thought that he had instructed it.

But. The situation now is. It doesn't matter if it's you, Liu Bei. You have to share some suspicions for me in this matter.

Otherwise, if all the spearheads are aimed at Cao Cāo, even Cao Cāo will be a little unbearable.

Xudu, Zhanghua Lane.

This is an extremely quiet alley, and there is a gorgeous mansion in the alley.

Sima Yi walked hurriedly, and after passing through the middle pavilion, he came to a stop outside a study in the back house. Reaching out and knocking softly on the door.

"Come in!"

From the room, a loud voice came.

Sima Yi hurriedly tidied up his clothes, opened the door, and walked into the room.

In the house, there was a brazier, which was lit with a blazing charcoal fire, which crackled from time to time.

An old man was lying on his side on a couch chair, holding a volume of "Shangshu", and was reading it with relish, not sighing. Praise is endless.

"Zhong Da, this "Commentary on the Book of Shang". Have you read it? ”

"But Kang Chenggong's new book?"

"Exactly!"

As the old man spoke, he sat up from the couch chair and put the book in his hand on the desk, "I am very happy that the former Kangcheng Gong sent someone to send a set of commentaries on the Thirteen Classics. Kang Chenggong is worthy of being a master of scripture and a Confucian in the world. After reading the commentary on the Thirteen Classics he made, I gained a lot.

Kang Chenggong also said that now they are compiling the Thirteen Classics and collecting commentaries from various families.

Hehe, he wants me to ask your great-grandfather's "Commentary on Poems" to be compiled into the Siku classics. I think that this is also a good thing, and I am about to send someone to send the articles written by your great-grandfather and your grandfather to the Nanshan Academy...... Chung Da, what do you think? ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly, "Uncle Liu Huang summoned the world's celebrities to compile the Siku Quanshu, which is a grand event for thousands of years.

With such a grand event, how can I, the Sima clan, stay out of it? The child thought that he should not only send the articles of his great-grandfather and grandfather, but also send the treasured classics of the family to Nanshan Academy to participate in the grand event, so as to live up to the name of the Sima clan in Hanoi. ”

The old man, named Sima Fang, the word Jiangong, Si Li, Hanoi Wen County, Xiaojingli people's clan, is also a Hanoi wang clan.

Sima Fang was born in the family of the official eunuch, and his father Sima Jun was once the Taishou of Yingchuan, so he was also regarded as one by the Yingchuan family. And Sima Fang himself was even more tired of moving to the positions of Luoyang Ling and Jing Zhaoyin. Now that it is over fifty years, although the Han Emperor went east from Chang'an and came to Xudu.

His position is very vague.

On the one hand, Sima Fang is a veteran of the Han family.

On the other hand, he was more knowledgeable about Cao Cāo.

The reason why Cao Cāo was able to be the lieutenant of northern Luoyang was because he was recommended by Sima Fang. Therefore, Cao Cāo also has great respect for Sima Fang.

After Sima Fang came to Xudu, he resigned from his official position and recuperated at home.

Cao Cāo worshiped him as a cavalry captain, and although he was a loose official, no one dared to underestimate him.

He picked up a glass of warm wine on his desk, and after taking a sip, he suddenly asked, "How are things going?" ”

"Back to my father, it's all settled!"

Sima Fang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "Can you leave a flaw?" ”

"Father rest assured, the child personally supervised this matter, and there will be no flaws left."

"That's good."

In the study, there was a sudden silence.

Sima Fang didn't speak, while Sima Yi stood with his hands down, not daring to make a sound.

You must know that Sima Fang has eight sons under his knees, and the eldest son, Sima Lang, is now serving under Cao Cāo, and he is very important to Cao Cāo. But in contrast, Sima Fang is more important than his second son, Sima Yi, who has always stayed by his side. His family education is very strict, even if the children are already weak-crowned, they also require 'not to enter, not to sit and not to sit, not to know what to hear, not to speak', can be described as strict rules.

"What do you think, what about your cousin?"

"Huh?"

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Cousin, now, the tiger has fallen in Pingyang." However, if you get the storm, you will be able to do it...... The last time I was in Gaomi, I saw my cousin's rule, and it was very orderly. Although my cousin has something to hide, I know that he has a lot of ambitions and great plans. ”

"Hehehe...... If he had no ambition, why was Mende jealous of him?

Previously, I had been worried that he would inevitably be rude and not have a wide vision when he started in the market. But listening to what you said, I'm a little worried. Liu Ziqi's son, how can he be a person with low vision? His defeat in Xuzhou this time was not a crime of war, and it was really untimely. ”

Sima Fang stood up and wandered around the study.

And Sima Yi continued to stand with his hands down, looking cautious.

"Back then, the Marquis of Zhongling and your grandfather were good friends, and the two had a very close relationship, like siblings.

How do you know that when the Marquis of Zhongling was in Chang'an, he accidentally saved your aunt...... Your eldest aunt didn't know what to think, but she had feelings for the Marquis of Zhongling, and even went to Yingchuan with him, willing to be a concubine. For this reason, your grandfather and the Marquis of Zhongling turned against each other, and even broke off the father-daughter relationship with your eldest aunt. But I know that your grandfather has always missed your aunt...... Your eldest aunt is also stubborn, and after marrying the Marquis of Zhongling, there was no correspondence. Although I know that your eldest aunt is worried about ruining your grandfather's reputation, how does she know that your grandfather will miss her until he dies...... When your eldest aunt was killed, your grandfather couldn't wait to run and fight Zhang Rang. When he was dying, he told me that he must try to find your aunt's blood and bones, and don't cut off Liu Ziqi's blood.

I sent people around to inquire around, and I thought it was ......

Hehe, I didn't expect him to suddenly rise ten years later. If your grandfather knew about it, he would be very happy. ”

Sima Yi was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Sima Fang, speechless for a long time.

He only knew that Liu Chuang was his cousin, but he didn't know that there were so many stories in it.

It's no wonder that Liu Tao and Sima Jun are friends of the same generation, like brothers...... Mrs. Sima married Liu Tao, which involved human ethics.

No wonder few people know the relationship between Sima and Liu Chuang's family.

I believe that including Liu Tao, it will not be hyped up, except for a few people who know, no one knows the connection between the two families.

Sima Fang's eyes flashed with tears.

He turned his head suddenly, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, if I want you to assist your cousin, are you willing to go?" ”

"What?"

Sima Yi looked at Sima Fang in amazement.

He had thought that Sima Fang would help Liu Chuang, but he never thought that he would ask him to assist Liu Chuang.

For a while, Sima Yi didn't know how to answer...... (To be continued......)

ps: There is only one change today......
