Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang, was placed by Cao Pi in a village outside Yecheng. Cao Pi did not let him enter the city because the transfer of Liu Xie from the Yanzhou fiefdom to Yecheng was carried out completely in secret. When Cao Pi issued the transfer order, he didn't want the people of Yecheng to know that Yanzhou was in danger, nor did he want Nan Ye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan to get the news, so he kidnapped Liu Xie halfway. So until this time, there were not many people in Yecheng who knew Liu Xie's location, and Sima Yi was one of them.

On the sketch map given by Sima Yi to Sima Bai, it is clearly marked that Liu Xie's Zhuangyuan is under house arrest. Guarding the courtyard were thirty guards, who were nominally protecting the Duke of Shanyang, but in fact they were monitoring Liu Xie's family. After Empress Fu and Concubine Dong Guifei died one after another, there were not many people around Liu Xie, and thirty guards were enough to guard.

Since Emperor Liu Xie was demoted to the Duke of Shanyang, he felt that the world was hot and cold, and life was like a dream, so he was extraordinary, enlightened, no longer attached to the royal life, ploughed the vegetable garden in the fief every day, and used a little medical skill learned in the palace to help the world. Queen Cao Jie is also a husband and wife, and followed Liu Xie to live an idyllic life involved in agriculture and mulberry.

The people of Shanyang have never seen such easy-going princes and nobles. At first, they didn't dare to get close to Liu Xie, but over time, they found that Liu Xie had no shelf, and he rarely charged money for treatment, so they began to live in harmony with Liu Xie.

The love and respect of the people made Liu Xie feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. He felt that he was not so respected when he was the emperor, but he was far away from the deep palace and heavy buildings, and he felt the joy and dignity of being a man. Since then, Liu Xie has integrated into the idyllic landscape, from a nest emperor, to a competent doctor, enjoying a peaceful life.

Liu Xie thought that he would spend the rest of his life in peace from now on, but he didn't expect that Cao Pi's order would break the pastoral life he had just become accustomed to. The gears of fate turned again, and Liu Xie couldn't resist at all, so he had to rush to Yecheng according to Cao Pi's arrangement and live in the village outside the city.

After coming to Yecheng, Liu Xie obviously felt that he had lost his freedom, and his range of activities was strictly controlled within the manor. He also heard some news about the outbreak of war, but these news were really far away for Liu Xie, even if he was the emperor, he couldn't control the war between the princes, let alone now? Liu Xie didn't expect that his life had entered the countdown stage because of this war.

Late that night, Liu Xie, who was asleep, was awakened by the screams coming from the yard, and Cao Jie, who was asleep next to him, also woke up at the same time, looking a little panicked.

Originally, Liu Xie didn't like this queen of the Cao family, but after many things, Liu Xie found that Cao Jie and her father and brother were not the same kind of people, and they were also sincere to themselves, which made Liu Xie very moved and gradually accepted Cao Jie. Although Liu Xie was also flustered in his heart, he still didn't forget to comfort Cao Jie and said, "Don't be afraid! There are quite a few guards outside, and a few thieves are not opponents yet. ”

Cao Jie calmed down when she heard Liu Xie's comfort, she didn't expect that the guards she hated the most on weekdays would become her biggest support at this time. When she saw Liu Xie put on his clothes and was about to go out of the house to check, she suddenly felt a palpitation, and grabbed Liu Xie and said, "Don't go!" Concubines are afraid! ”

Liu Xie was about to comfort Cao Jie for a few more words, but the screams outside the house and the sound of weapons colliding stopped abruptly, which made Liu Xie and Cao Jie stunned, and then they reacted that the battle was over, but they didn't know what the result was.

No footsteps were heard, the door was open, and a fair-skinned and pretty woman appeared in the doorway. Sima Bai did not disguise himself this time, he was wearing the same black clothes as other dead soldiers, there was no trace of a smile on his face, except for being cold or cold, looking at Liu Xie and Cao Jie with the same gaze as if he were looking at two dead people or livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

Liu Xie had long been sure that the woman in front of him, who was even more beautiful than Cao Jie, did not belong to this village, and the blood stains and bloody smell on Sima Bai's body also revealed her identity as a killer. After all, Liu Xie was a person who had been an emperor, and he had experienced life and death in his life, so he could still keep his composure and asked loudly: "Did Cao Pi send you to kill me?" ”

Years of habit have made Liu Xie's identity revealed as soon as he opened his mouth, and there are few people in the world who are used to calling themselves "I". Sima Bai was also stunned when she heard this, although Sima Yi did not reveal the goal of this operation, she immediately guessed who the person in front of her was.

Liu Xie's identity did not stop Sima Bai, she took a step into the house without saying a word, and two black-clothed dead soldiers soon appeared behind her. Sima Bai's actions gave Liu Xie the answer, except for Cao Pi, I am afraid that no one dares to order to kill him, and no one can cultivate such an elite dead soldier. The short pastoral life in Shanyang made Liu Xie full of nostalgia for life, and he yelled unwillingly: "I have already given up to him, why doesn't he let me go?" ”

Sima Bai didn't know the answer to this question, so naturally she couldn't answer Liu Xie, she simply stepped forward and slashed at Liu Xie with a knife. There is nothing fancy about this knife, nor is there any soft-heartedness, if you just look at the knife and don't look at people, no one can think that this cruel knife came from the hand of a beautiful woman, and you will definitely think that the handle of this sharp blade is in the hands of a veteran of a hundred battles.

"Ah~" Liu Xie and Cao Jie shouted at the same time, Liu Xie's voice was full of pain, and Cao Jie's voice was full of horror. Soon the screams of the two people stopped, and the black-clothed dead soldier behind Sima Bai had already hacked Cao Jie to death on the bed. In the face of Queen Cao, who was naked and had a good face, the two dead soldiers did not have any pity for the jade, and they were as decisive and ruthless as Sima Bai.

"Chief, do you want to cut off your head and go back to the errand?" After the black-clothed dead man killed Cao Jie, he asked Sima Baidao.

Sima Bai glanced at his subordinates and snorted coldly: "This is the sister of His Majesty today, if you kill it, you will kill it, if you don't even leave the whole corpse, I will definitely die." ”

The black-clothed dead man trembled when he heard this, didn't dare to speak again, and retreated behind Sima Bai. Sima Bai carefully inspected the courtyard around the village again, and only after confirming that there were no more living mouths did he lead the dead to evacuate. More than a dozen of the fifty dead soldiers who came with her were killed by the guards, but their bodies were all taken back by Sima Bai.

Sima Yi listened to Sima Bai's report while looking at the living and dead black-clothed dead soldiers in front of him. When it was determined that there was no more life in the village, all the dead soldiers were returned. Sima Yi nodded slightly and said, "You are doing a good job!" With that, he opened a wooden box in front of him, which was full of gold.

After distributing the gold to the dead, Sima Yi said: "If all the princes are enemies of His Majesty today, and Nan Ye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are all confidants, you will go and assassinate the three and their generals, if you can get a bounty of 10,000 taels for the head of the three people, and a bounty of 1,000 taels for those who can behead their generals, this order is not limited, you can wait!" ”
