After the news of Lü Bu's defeat of the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan and quelling the turbulent situation in Hanoi County reached Luoyang, it was a few families who were happy and a few who were sad.

Needless to say, for a few days, his face was full of red light, full of smiles, and he was extremely proud to see that everyone was hahadaxiao. The courtiers were also happy in front of the people, but some people, after returning to the mansion, immediately changed their faces, sighed from time to time, and frowned.

Among them, the most typical is the servant Wang Yun.

Just when Lu Bu led the army to Linfen City at night, the grand banquet had ended in the palace of the servant Wang Yun, but the guests were not gone, and a few stayed.

Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, was one of the guests who stayed.

On the night when his friend Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang, Cao Cao was still the captain of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, and there were hundreds of remnants of the soldiers under his command who had not been replenished.

Because of this, after Dong Zhuo took control of the government, he was worshiped as a captain of the Xiao Cavalry, and his rank was not low, but there was not a single soldier under his hands, it was just a noble position.

Now, Taiwei Dong Zhuo is in charge of the government alone, conquering the world's famous people into the imperial capital Luoyang, hiring the opposition party, his prestige is increasing day by day, and the government and the opposition seem to have forgotten.

However, for the government, Cao Cao has long stopped reporting any hope, and at this time, he is even more desperate.

At the banquet, Cao Cao looked at the courtiers who were drinking and having fun, and his heart was full of boredom, so he ran out alone under the pretext of being drunk and went to the study of the master Wang Yun to sit quietly.

The moonlight outside the window was cold, Cao Cao held the scroll in his hand, read it to his heart, and couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, eager to dance with his hands, so that he could relax the pride in his chest.

The door creaked open, Cao Cao retracted his gaze, and saw that it was the servant Wang Yun, so he hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and saluted.

"Meng De doesn't need to be polite, sit, sit!"

Wang Yun is over fifty years old, with a slender figure, no wrinkles on his handsome face, and he can still see the demeanor of a beautiful man when he was young.

In front of Wang Yun, Cao Cao is much inferior, he is more than a head shorter, and his facial features are not as handsome as he is, and the only thing that is commendable may be his full forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Thank you, Lord Servant!"

Even though Wang Yun said this, Cao Cao still thanked him respectfully, and then sat down honestly when Wang Yun sat down.

Just glanced at it lightly, and Wang Yun knew that what Cao Cao had just recited in a low voice was the [Warring States Policy. Yan Ce], and it is also the "high gradual departure from the building", and the cover is the volume he often reads, and it is placed on the desk for easy access at any time.

"Meng De also likes Yan Zhao's tragic song?"

Wang Yun smiled and stroked his beard with a smile.

Cao Cao nodded, clapped the scroll with his hand, crackled, and replied: "The tragic singer of Yan Zhao is recorded in the annals of history, but in today's world, it is gradually unheard, which makes people sigh." ”

Wang Yun was relieved, put away his smile, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Meng De's words are very popular with me, now the imperial family is weak, and the powerful ministers cover the sky, but it is a pity that the government and the opposition do not notice, and there are more flattering people, sad, lamentable!" ”

In just a few words, the two of them knew each other's intentions, and they were silent for a long time, Cao Cao's face was angry, and he stood up and said: "Why is the servant so sad, there are many people with lofty ideals in the court, but no one is an example. ”

"Good!"

Wang Yun also got up from the case, applauded loudly, was dressed properly, and bowed to Cao Cao and shook it to the ground: "Meng De has this heart, let him be taught!" Yun has a family heirloom "Seven Star Treasure Knife", blows hair and breaks hair, and is willing to give it to Meng De to participate in the grand event. ”

As he said, Wang Yun immediately ordered his servants to go and fetch the treasure knife, solemnly holding the knife in both hands and handing it to Cao Cao.

What a knife!

The knife is more than a foot long, the scabbard is inlaid with seven treasures, the light of the lamp and candle is shining, Cao Cao holds the knife handle, slightly forced, the sound of "sonorous" is like a dragon's roar, in the quiet room, it sounds so crisp and pleasant.

The blade was unusually sharp, shining with a cold glow, Cao Cao had no doubt that this knife would pierce the flesh into the body, and it would definitely be like a sharp arrow breaking cloth, which was easy.

"Good knives! Good knives! ”

Cao Cao raised the sword in front of his eyes to take a closer look, and his eyes were like a sword, glowing with light.

It was three o'clock in the morning, Cao Cao turned over and got on the horse, coinciding with the moon in the middle of the sky, as clean as a plate, just a broken corner, the surroundings were cold and remote, just at this time the Han court, the court and the opposition seemed to be asleep, and let Dong Zhuo do nothing.

Looking up for a long time, Cao Cao suddenly became proud in his chest, and his heart was horizontal, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the Taiwei Mansion.

Although Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Taiwei Dong Zhuo in his heart and had the intention of removing him, he usually ran to Taiwei's mansion, one was to intercede for his friend Yuan Shao, and the other was to ask for some soldiers from Taiwei Dong Zhuo, or allow him to recruit himself, so that he could live up to his name.

In order to quell the rebellion in Hedong and Hanoi, Dong Zhuo ordered Niu Fu and Lu Bu to lead a large army to go out, and today's imperial capital Luoyang has many fewer groups of Liang and soldiers, and even after the curfew, the patrol soldiers are much less than before.

In front of the Taiwei Mansion, the same is true, it is so late, the avenue in front of the Taiwei Mansion is still full of all kinds of crowned carriages, all of which are courtiers and officials queuing up to meet Taiwei Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao came every day, and the gatekeepers of the Taiwei Mansion were already familiar with it, plus Cao Cao's family background was prominent, and his father Cao Song also served as the Taiwei, this Taiwei Mansion, Cao Cao also lived in it, and he was brought into the mansion as soon as he was notified.

Dong Zhuo was originally strong, and now he is in Luoyang, and he is in and out of a large sedan chair, rarely riding a horse and walking, coupled with the daily wine and delicacies, in just over a month, the waist circumference has increased again.

The servant Wang Yun's family banquet was originally personally invited to the door, Dong Zhuo was suspicious of many people, and it was troublesome to go in and out, and he was really reluctant to give several beauties from the Empress Dowager He in his heart.

Now that he was feeling sleepy and tired, he heard that Cao Cao had come to the door, and immediately asked people to bring him in, ready to meet him, and ask the servant Wang Yun about the family banquet, so he was ready to rest.

After a while, Cao Cao Jian stepped inside, respectfully bowed to Dong Zhuo, the captain who was sitting on the wide couch, and stood quietly aside.

"Mengde, why is it so late today?"

Cao Cao took a step forward, bowed down and replied: "Captain Yu, the subordinate horses are thin and weak, and they have been delayed for some time when they come out of the palace of the prince. ”

"Oh?!"

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Cao Cao's frank confession, so he turned to the guards standing on the left and right: "Come on, go and choose a good horse from Xiliang sent today and give it to Meng De!" ”

The guards standing on the left and right went out in response, Dong Zhuo was fat and couldn't sit for a long time, so he simply reclined on the couch, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked about the family banquet of the servant Wang Yun.

Cao Cao had to answer all questions, and after a while, seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't ask any more questions, he looked up slightly, and couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly, and his mouth was dry.

It turned out that after just such a while, Dong Zhuo actually fell asleep, snoring loudly, his head resting on his elbows, and he was eating there.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Cao Cao's eyes only hesitated for a moment, and then his essence flashed and he made up his mind.

Fang Cai's hesitation and determination was that he remembered that a few years ago, he entered the mansion of the eunuch Zhang Rang to assassinate Zhang Rang, that is, after hesitating for a while, the original opportunity for the great haode had passed, so that the assassination was a failure.

This time, he decided not to hesitate anymore, immediately put his right hand into his arms, took out the Seven Star Treasure Knife, held his breath, gritted his teeth, stood on tiptoe, and quietly walked towards Dong Zhuo step by step.

Outside the hall, Ana's beautiful maid holds the tray in her hand, on which there is a cup of fragrant tea, the footsteps are fine, the body sways from side to side, and it seems that the buttocks are round and straight, just walked into the temple door, just looked up, she couldn't help but stiffen her whole body, and her hands could no longer hold the tray.

"Bang!"

The tray fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and then she was at a loss, and screamed, and the high-pitched screams immediately resounded throughout the night sky, and the entire Taiwei Mansion could be heard clearly.
