"Big brother, is there anything wrong?" Xiahoudun came behind Cao Cao.

"It's okay, but what's going to happen? Compared to the big things in my hands now, what is just a small thing in comparison. Cao Cao shook his head and took his mind back.

Xiahoudun turned around and looked around, and only after seeing that it was Xiahouyuan who was coming, he let down his guard.

Xiahou Yuan, who came to Cao Cao's side, looked puzzled, and asked, "Big brother, why didn't you let me shoot Jian Shuo with one arrow just now?" ”

"Miaocai, are you sure you can really shoot Jian Shuo with one arrow?" Cao Cao asked with a smile on his face.

"This..."Xiahou Yuan thought carefully about the state just now, and then weighed the possible implications, and in the end he could only reluctantly admit it. I only have a 50% chance of shooting Jian Shuo. ”

"Really?" Cao Cao continued to ask quietly.

"Big brother, I think so. Fifty percent is enough to gamble, and people are not motionless targets, it is impossible to be ten percent sure, fifty percent is okay. Xiahou Yuan always felt that he had a chance to shoot Jian Shuo just now.

Cao Cao shook his head, his clan brother is good at everything, but there are some times when he is too confident and can't see through in some places. There will be no problem in small things, but in big things, in battle, this small problem can turn into a fatal crisis at any time.

Cao Cao opened his mouth and denied: "No, you only have a thirty percent chance." Because Li Ru was beside him, the big black man stood in front of Jian Shuo again, and what they were guarding against was not us late captains, but cold arrows shot from the shadows. ”

Xiahou Yuan's brows furrowed, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. The reason why he hesitated just now and didn't shoot the feather arrows that were already on the bowstring was because of the big black man who was in front of Jian Shuo. Xiahou Yuan tried to find the gap, but he didn't see that around Jian Shuo, there were his personal guards, surrounding him, only in front of him, the black and strong man who was in the way. It can be said that what the black man blocked was a weakness of Jian Shuo, which was originally captured by Xiahou Yuan, and the direction in which Jian Shuo was killed with one arrow.

It's a pity that there is such a big black man. Don't look silly, Xiahou Yuan can see the essence in his eyes, and when he looks around, he seems to be looking for something.

Warlord! For people like them who come and go on the battlefield, there is always a special sense of the same person, and they can perceive the same breath from the other party's body. Therefore, he is really not sure whether he can get past this black man and shoot Jian Shuo. Especially when the other party is on guard, the chance of fifty percent has dropped to thirty percent.

No, it's lower than thirty percent, only one percent. For a person who uses a bow, the chance of a feather arrow hitting the opponent is pitifully rare when the opponent is prepared and vigilant. Even a marksman like him is not sure.

Xiahou Yuan was silent, and did not hear Xiahou Yuan speak again, so Cao Cao nodded. He wanted to make Xiahou Yuan think about it, so that he could understand that he couldn't be too confident in everything, and if he was too confident, he was conceited. Conceit is often a matter of killing people and messing up a thing, Cao Cao doesn't want to be missing Xiahou Yuan by his side in the future.

"Mengde, this time I failed, and it's hard to start after that." Xiahoudun sighed lightly on the side.

After an assassination failure, Jian Shuo will definitely strengthen his defense, and there is not much possibility of successfully assassinating him. Xiahoudun was just sure that he would kill Jian Shuo, but it was impossible to kill Jian Shuo in an instant. Then, before Jian Shuo died, there must be a mutiny, they have no righteous reputation, they will only become the rebellion in Jian Shuo's mouth, and they will be surrounded and killed by soldiers.

"yes. However, he must die. No matter what method is used, let him die as soon as possible, otherwise there is still a possibility that the jade will be burned. ”

"Wait..."Cao Cao fell into deep thought, his right hand clenched into a fist, and slammed into the center of his left palm, making a crisp sound.

"The jade is burned, the jade is burned, the stone will be burned, and the jade will be fine. Since you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, then I will let you poke your head out, and you will have to come to me with this sword. Cao Cao laughed, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other, and then looked at Cao Cao's back, their faces full of confusion. Although they didn't know what the eldest brother was laughing at, they could probably feel the joy in his heart by his laughter. Out of trust, the two did not hesitate to believe that the problem in front of them would not become a problem.

"Stop coming!" At the top of the palace wall, there was a shout. Under the light of the fire, a famous soldier of the Yulin Army leaned out from the palace wall, and the feather arrows on the longbow in his hand pointed at the bottom of the palace wall, the figures who were getting closer and closer to the palace gate.

At the same time, the two bed crossbows that were erected above the palace gate and at the battlement were offset at an angle, aiming at the position where the figure was. As soon as these men stepped into the position of 400 paces, the bed crossbow would be fired, killing them into scattered limbs.

Whoever is still close to the palace wall at night, after the curfew, the Yulin army kills them without thinking about any consequences. The only thing they will do before killing the other person is to warn, and after a warning, if the person who comes does not come up with the proof of identity, does not listen to the warning, does not retreat, and continues to move forward, then shoot them decisively.

It was close again, and when the figures came to the range of the farthest brazier standing in front of the palace gate avenue, the identities of these people were already about to be revealed. Running over were a few eunuchs dressed in eunuch service, and the Yulin soldiers on the palace wall only needed to take a closer look and immediately distinguish them. In the palace, the soldiers of the Yulin Army saw the eunuchs and palace maids the most, but they saw that in the middle of the night, there were eunuchs who dared to storm the palace, which was rare in a hundred years.

These people are eunuchs and palace people. But, so what? No matter who it is, whether it is an official, or a eunuch or a maid in the palace, after dark, no one can enter and exit casually. If you don't listen to repeated persuasions, then you will die, and you will be innocent.

Looking at the eunuchs who were getting closer and closer, several Yulin Army soldiers began to count their steps silently in their hearts, their eyes unblinking, staring at them, like hunters watching their prey fall into a trap. For the eunuchs, the soldiers of the Yulin Army also did not have much good feelings, especially the old people who had felt the most deeply, in the past, when the ten permanent servants were powerful, the soldiers of their Yulin Army, which one of them was not beaten and scolded when they were slightly dissatisfied.

When did the Son of Heaven guard also become driven and ignored by a group of minions and eunuchs at will, and it was time to beat and scold? It wasn't until they had a new leader that they changed so that they no longer suffered from that kind of scumbag. Especially in the current days, the few blows that Commander Liu Xuan and Commander Liu gave Zhang Rang so hard that he lost his teeth made the soldiers of the Yulin Army even more excited, and all the grievances in their hearts were vented.

Now, the few soldiers of the Yulin Army who were counting the steps in their hearts had begun to gear up. What's the point of killing a few eunuchs? Getting closer to step into that demarcated line and killing a few eunuchs is not a big deal.

"Who's coming?!" The soldiers of the Yulin Army who were guarding in front of the palace gate stood up, pointed their spears at the eunuchs in the distance, and asked loudly.

"I... We can't get any closer, can we? A eunuch cowered, never wanting to move any further. He felt a murderous aura, a timid like him had always felt deeply about this kind of aura.

It's going to die, it's really going to die. He felt like he was running out of breath, and even more visions appeared in front of him, shooting arrows from the palace wall and flying towards him.

"Yes, yes. Come any closer, and we'll really die. Besides, besides, we are only here to summon the news, and we can't still enter the palace at this time, so we just stand here and shout a few times from afar. Another eunuch chimed in, if it weren't for the death of Song Dian, who he served, he wouldn't have come here!

Originally, he had to wait for dawn before he came to arraignment, anyway, Song Dian was dead, and the dead were all dead no matter how powerful they were, and they couldn't bring him any threat. But think about it, although Song Dian is dead, the other middle attendants are not dead yet! Any person who is dissatisfied with him and stamps his feet is enough to make him doomed. Therefore, he immediately rushed to the summons, and met other eunuchs on the road, and then learned a terrible fact.

Tonight, not in the palace, but outside the palace, all four of the lieutenants died! They were Song Dian, who he served, as well as Feng Xu, Cao Jie, and Xia Yun, a total of four people, and four middle attendants, all of whom died at the hands of the assassins.

In the past, this was enough to shake the imperial court, and I don't know how many officials were imprisoned. That is the ten permanent servants, the most trusted people by the emperor, in the past, there were ministers who impeached them, and they were all sent to prison by the emperor without hesitation!

But now it is different from the past, even a eunuch like him can feel that the power of the ten permanent servants is decreasing more and more, and even he has some uneasiness in his heart. Afraid of the ten permanent servants in front of him, the Song Dian he served fell, and even with him, he had to be torn apart by those officials who were eyeing him outside. But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"It's fine." The other two eunuchs all nodded.

The atmosphere was not right, and for eunuchs like them, who were good at observing faces, they felt it very clearly. The unkind look on the faces of those soldiers of the Yulin Army was not hidden in the slightest under the reflection of the firelight.

Not to mention, when they first entered the palace, they all memorized the palace rules. Many years had passed since they first entered the palace, but they still knew what they could and couldn't do.

If you want to leave the palace at night and be blocked back, there is no problem, because you are a person in the palace, at most, where do you come from and where do you go back. But at night, after nightfall, if you want to enter the palace from outside the palace, this is absolutely not possible. If you don't have a certificate to enter the palace, if you want to enter the palace, you can only die!

No matter how you dress it, whether it is a familiar face or not, you can be regarded as an outsider! People outside the palace are people who are threatened, and people who are threatened, close to the palace, the Yulin Army will not hesitate to cut off the threat.

In the distance, four people stopped. You look at me, I look at you, no one wants to go forward.

After hesitating for a while, the eunuch who served Song Dian stood up and shouted at the Yulin Army soldiers at the palace gate in a long voice: "We are the eunuchs under your Chang Servants, if you want to report today, please trouble the eldest brother of Yu Lin Jun to inform Zhang Chang Shi in the palace, or the eunuchs under Zhao Chang Shou, and let them stand on the palace wall and listen." ”

"No, I can't. The night is already over, and we are waiting for military affairs, and we can't leave without permission! The soldiers of the Yulin Army guarding the palace gate replied categorically.

Hearing the answer, the eunuch had some sighs, and it was exactly the same as what he thought in his heart. In the past, it was very normal to be accommodating like this, and these Yulin Army soldiers would not refuse so decisively. Now, it is not surprising to get such an answer, the commander of the Yulin Army has nothing to do except for Zhang Changshou, how can these soldiers of the Yulin Army still be afraid of these eunuchs under them?

"Then trouble, can you tell the palace about our news?" He tried to ask again.

"Nope." There was another categorical refusal, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army at the gate of the palace straightened their waists and spoke with confidence.

"Damn, this group of martial artists, it's really hateful!" The eunuch who served Cao Jie scolded in a low voice, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

His voice was so low that it could only be heard by himself and a few eunuchs around him. A little farther away, it became blurry. He didn't dare to scold, the devil knew what these Yulin soldiers would do, and his small body would not be able to withstand a few beatings at that time.

Like Zhang Changshou, after being beaten, he can also ask the imperial doctor to heal him. A eunuch like him, invite the imperial doctor to come, but now the imperial doctor may not come, more likely to be secretly licking the wound in a corner.

"What should I do?" The eunuch, who had the audacity to talk to the soldiers of the Yulin Army, turned around and asked.

You look at me, and I look at you, all four of them have a look of confusion on their faces. Anyway, they couldn't enter the palace, let alone summon and shout outside, except for the soldiers of the Yulin Army guarding the palace wall, no one could hear the slightest sound when they went in.

"But that's fine..."One of the four eunuchs rolled his eyes, and there was no way to summon him to enter the palace, anyway, they didn't want to enter the palace, but they were blocked out of the palace by the soldiers of the Yulin Army! In this way, there is also a way to explain.

Someone had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought that there were not only four people who were not in the palace, and he said: "By the way, Jian Chang Waiter, there should be nothing wrong, right?" ”

"There should be no problem. In the army, Jian Chang is also accompanied by a close eunuch, and if something happens to him, then it won't be just the four of us who are here now. ”

"That's... We can go to the Servant! ”

"These soldiers outside are not as difficult as these soldiers of the Yulin Army, at least when they see us, they will not offend!"

After discussing it, the four of them decided to go to the station of the Xiyuan Army and find Jian Shuo to tell him about the changes that happened tonight.
