Chapter Twenty-Three: Escape
"Meng De, it's not in vain that I have high hopes for you, if you have any requirements, I will definitely help you do it!" Dong Zhuo said to Cao Cao with a smile while playing with the Seven Star Knife.
"Xiangye is serious, it is a blessing for the villain to be able to do things for Xiangye!" Cao Cao said very modestly, panic flashed in his eyes from time to time, and he was thinking about a way to get out! At this time, Dong Zhuo put down the Seven Star Knife, pondered for a while, and said: "That's it, seeing that the horse you ride on weekdays is not good, I recently got a new BMW from the Western Regions, so I'll give it to you!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, God really helped me, and hurriedly said: "Then thank you Xiangye!" As soon as the words fell, Dong Zhuo sent someone to call Lu Bu and said, "Feng Xian, you go to the backyard now, pick out my newly acquired Western Regions BMW and give it to Meng De!" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he took Cao Cao and walked to the backyard. "Oh, Brother Meng De, you are still amazing, you can let Xiangye give you a BMW!" Lu Bu said enviously, in fact, it is false to say that he is not jealous, this is a BMW in the Western Regions, Dong Zhuo can't put it down on weekdays, so he gave it to Cao Cao. This is enough to show that Cao Cao's sycophant skills have reached the realm of perfection, and even he, a modern person, sighs to himself!
"What's the matter, brother Xian, you are too humble!" Cao Cao wiped a few drops of cold sweat from his sideburns and laughed dryly. At this time, the two of them had already arrived at the stable in the backyard, and they recognized the Western Regions BMW at a glance, with a wide body and pure coat. The horses around it were nested in the corners, and they didn't dare to approach it at all, and they didn't even bark!
No matter how much the man in charge of the horse pulled, he couldn't make it move a single step. "Get out of the way, let me come!" Lu Bu pushed away the man in charge of the horse, put his right hand on the horse's neck, and dragged the Western Regions BMW out of the stable.
"Sure enough, it's a rare good horse, Brother Xian, let me try this horse!" Cao Cao couldn't help but admire, and before Lu Bu could speak, Cao Cao was already sitting in the saddle. "Brother Xian, I suddenly remembered that there was something at home, so I went back to the house first!" Before the words fell, Cao Cao whipped his horse and ran forward at great speed in an instant.
"Oh, this Cao Cao is too anxious, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to rob his horse!" Lu Bu muttered to himself, complaining that Cao Cao didn't let him see the BMW of the Western Regions. After a while, Lu Bu returned to the hall and looked at Dong Zhuo's advisor Li Ru standing aside, whispering something to Dong Zhuo.
"Feng Xian, come, you analyze it for me!" Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Bu was back, and hurriedly called him over. When Lu Bu heard this, his heart was full of doubts, but he still walked in front of Dong Zhuo.
"Cao Cao, this guy is good at offering a knife to Xiangye, I think he has bad intentions!" Li Ru touched his beard and said in a matter-of-fact manner. "Offering a knife?" Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo and Li Ru blankly, not understanding what he was talking about. At this time, Dong Zhuo took out the seven-star knife, and Lu Bu suddenly realized.
History says that Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo with a seven-star knife, but he never believed it, it seems that this is the real thing! Then again, this Cao Cao is really bold, Dong Zhuo's mansion is heavily guarded, and he dares to assassinate Dong Zhuo single-handedly.
Just when Lu Bu secretly admired Cao Cao's good courage, Li Ru was analyzing it with oil and vinegar on the side, Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that when he just woke up, Cao Cao's expression was indeed a little weird.
"Ungrateful fellow, I am not kind to you on weekdays, and you want to kill me!" Dong Zhuo scolded angrily, so angry that his hair stood on end. "Xiangye, let's do it, you send someone to talk about Cao Cao, saying that you want to invite him to the banquet, if he comes, if you don't come......" Li Ru said at the end, and let out a sneer.
Dong Zhuo immediately sent someone to chase Cao Cao. But Lu Bu knew very well in his heart that this was obviously redundant, Cao Cao might have run away now, and what was waiting for Dong Zhuo was the anti-Dong Alliance! Hmph, anyway, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao are not good people, so let these two guys eat dogs!
Having said that, since Cao Cao left Dong Zhuo's mansion, he didn't even dare to return home, so he hurried out of the city. "Lord Rider, what are you doing here?" The guards at the city gate stopped Cao Cao and said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Xiangye sent me to do a very important thing!" Cao Cao said as he gave the guard some money. "Hehe, since it's Xiangye's business, you have to hurry up!" The guard quietly put the money in his arms and said with a smile. And Cao Cao didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, and immediately rode out of the city.
"What? Ran away? Dong Zhuo stood up from the bench and said in disbelief. At this time, Li Ru came up and said with bad intentions: "Xiangye, this guy really wants to assassinate you!" As soon as the words fell, Dong Zhuo scolded Cao Cao for ten minutes, and immediately asked Li Ru to draw pictures and write in various places, and sent people to various states, and each county posted Cao Cao's graphics in Simen.
Since Cao Cao left the East Gate, he has not stopped, all the way to his hometown in Qiaojun. He was afraid that Dong Zhuo would send someone to chase after him, so he chose a small path to walk, day and night. But this horse is not a machine, it also needs to rest, not long after, the horse died of exhaustion on the side of the road, Cao Cao had no choice but to enter an inn in the city to rest.
But when he just walked to the city gate, he was recognized by the guards, who immediately surrounded him and escorted him to the county office. "Who's in the hall?" The county commander Chen Gong was shocked and said sharply. Seeing this, Cao Cao still said without changing his face: "My surname is Dugu, my single name is a jade character, and I am a businessman from the Western Regions." Unexpectedly, before entering the county seat, he was brought here! ”
At this time, Chen Gong didn't seem to hear his words and kept staring at him. After a while, Chen Gong suddenly realized and sneered: "What Dugu Yu? I already saw you when I was in Luoyang! If you think about it, am I right? Cao Mengde! ”
Needless to say, as soon as Cao Cao entered here, he had already recognized that he was just holding a fluke. As soon as he heard this at this moment, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and Chen Gong didn't say a word, so he asked Cao Cao to be put in prison and prepared to go to Beijing the next day to receive the reward. But when Cao Cao left, Chen Gong thought about it, this Dong Zhuo was a thief in troubled times who brought disaster to the country and the people, and Cao Cao's assassination of him was the act of a hero!
Seeing that such a heroic and heroic person was about to die, didn't he become Dong Zhuo's accomplice, and this infamy for eternity was on his back! Thinking of this, Chen Gong asked the official to take Cao Cao to the backyard.
"Hmph, Dog Officer, what did you ask me to do?"
"Brother Mengde, don't get me wrong. I'm the same as you, I wish Dong Zhuo, a rebel and thief, would die sooner! ”
After the two talked for a while, they hit it off. Cao Cao exerted his eloquence and successfully won over Chen Gong, so Chen Gong simply cleaned up, and left the county government with Cao Cao in a hurry and continued to Cao Cao's hometown.
