Xiahou Yuan walked on the street, his eyes staring at Cao Cao in front of him, but he was not the one who stared very closely. From time to time, he would take his eyes off Cao Cao's body and glance at the others, and immediately retracted it.

Since Cao Cao was assassinated, Xiahou Yuan and his brother Xiahou Yuan, as long as Cao Cao went out, one of the two people would inevitably follow behind Cao Cao. Although both of them belong to that kind of general, they can rush and kill a few people back and forth on the battlefield, and now they are reduced to retinues, messengers of guards. However, Xiahou Yuan Xiahoudun didn't care, the two brothers had the same idea, the two of them could not kill the enemy, Cao Cao's safety must be guaranteed!

In the world, there can be no two brothers, but there can't be no Cao Cao!

Today it was Xiahou Yuan as an escort, accompanying Cao Cao out to protect his safety. He followed behind Cao Cao, and when some pedestrians got too close, he would walk forward and block them with his body. If the pedestrian continued to move forward, Xiahou Yuan would use his hand to push him away with skillful force. If he doesn't leave, then the sword on Xiahou Yuan's waist will be decisively unsheathed.

Anyone, in his eyes, is a potential enemy. He is ready to act at any time, and as long as there is a need, he doesn't mind setting off a bloody storm in Luoyang City.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes were fixed on a man walking towards Cao Cao, and his eyes were sharp. The man, who had just lifted one foot and had not stepped down, suddenly jumped his eyelids, and subconsciously looked in the direction that made him feel bad.

Just saw Xiahou Yuan, his feet hanging in the air were silently retracted. It's not easy to mess with, just when I saw Xiahou Yuan, his body was so tall and mighty. In addition, those terrifying eyes, just one glance, his gaze did not dare to meet again. Lowering his head and keeping his eyes on his feet, he just wanted to get away from here as quickly as possible.

Cao Cao suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Xiahou Yuan with a smile: "Miaocai, take it easy, take it easy." Don't be so nervous, in this kind of crowded street, who doesn't come back and assassinate me? So you can take it easy and have nothing to do. ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't care to answer, and stared fiercely at another pedestrian walking towards them. After forcing the pedestrians away, he frowned dissatisfiedly and said in a low voice: "If you are still relaxed, how can you relax." It's okay, and I don't know who was openly assassinated under the city walls..."

"Still relaxing? Hum. Muttering to himself, Xiahou Yuan took a step forward, blocking the path of another pedestrian. If those people dare to assassinate under the city walls and with a garrison, then how can they care about openly coming on the street? ”

Xiahou Yuan said very quietly, but because of his loud voice and some complaints that hated Cao Cao for being too lax, Cao Cao heard it clearly. Suddenly, Cao Cao's face turned green, and he quickly turned around, not ready to say anything more to make Xiahou Yuan relax.

Since Xiahou Yuan didn't give him face so much, then Cao Cao didn't mind, let him be so worried all the way! Really, kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!

"Phew." Cao Cao hurriedly snorted twice, isn't he Cao Mengde a donkey?

Thinking of the donkey, Cao Cao thought of the donkey of the candle shadow. If you really want him Cao Mengde to be a donkey. To be like this donkey, belong to the master of donkeys!

A wry smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, it seemed that he really teased the donkey of Candle Shadow too often, causing the long flat donkey face to immediately appear in his mind now The scene of the long donkey face baring its teeth and smiling at him, and spitting from time to time! Uh-ang, uh-ang's cry echoed, constantly in his mind and ears.

"Phew, bah, bah." Hurriedly snorted a few times, and it was really unlucky to go out and think about that stupid donkey like this!

Xiahou Yuan felt quite inexplicable, hearing the snorting of his eldest brother Cao Cao, he probably ate some sand, right? He didn't think much about it, didn't waste this time, and began to stare vigilantly at the pedestrians around him again.

After walking for a while, Cao Cao finally stopped and stopped in front of an inn. Looking at the plaque on the door of the inn that read Dongfeng Inn, Cao Cao recalled it in his mind, and finally nodded heavily.

"yes, it should be here." He muttered to himself.

"Whew. It's finally here, I'm exhausted. Xiahou Yuan let out a heavy breath and touched the beads of sweat on his forehead. With a flick, the sweat on his hands flew out with his action.

Too tired! His mind was tense at any time, and it made Xiahou Yuan feel tired and tired more than fighting any enemy. If it were an enemy, a fight, and his mind would have to be in a state of complete tension, but it wouldn't take so long! Generally, Xiahou Yuan will solve the enemy as soon as possible, solve all the enemies, and kill them, so that he can relax and relax.

This is different, unlike the fight on the battlefield, on the battlefield, the enemy is very easy to distinguish, and it cannot be hidden at all. But here, the several streets that Xiahou Yuan followed and walked just now, and the pedestrians who passed by along the way were all enemies. Xiahou Yuan was on the premise of facing the enemy and guarded against them.

His heart never relaxed for a moment, in the process. Tired, so tired, more uncomfortable than any physical exhaustion. After all, his body is far better than many people, but the heart, a big heart, is so tight that it is impossible to recover casually if he wants to recover. Unlike the body, mental exhaustion can last for a long time.

"What's the matter, tell you to relax, you still don't listen!" Cao Cao saw Xiahou Yuan's relieved look, and simply ridiculed, in order to repay the experience of being also ridiculed just now.

"Oh yes, I don't have a good memory lately." Cao Cao stretched out his hand and touched his face, well, it was very slippery, and it felt like I couldn't put it down. Yes, yes, Cao Cao nodded, and Shen took Candle Shadow's suggestion for himself to wash his face with the sticky liquid of aloe vera.

Recently, when he looked in the mirror, he felt that he had become much wiser and more powerful, and now when he touched it like this, he felt smoother than any woman's face!

"Oh. Wrong. Cao Cao realized again that his thoughts had somehow gone astray.

He raised his head and continued to say what he was about to say, and said, "Alas, now I can't figure out whether Sun Wentai has settled here. ”

"Nima!" Xiahou Yuan chuckled in his heart, and when he heard Cao Cao's kind reminder, he instantly scolded his mother.

When these two words came out, Xiahou Yuan felt that something was wrong, and took back the last half of the Ma character. It's really not that he likes to scold his mother, but no matter how Cao Cao looks at it now, he feels very hateful. So unconsciously, I used the words that Mr. Candle Shadow taught them to scold people to express the emotional surge in my heart at this moment.

Well, Xiahou Yuan's mood fluctuated for a moment, and he quickly calmed down again. If he did it again, Xiahou Yuan would not let his guard down, even if he was tired, his vigilance would still not relax. They are in the open, the enemy is in the dark, the open guns are easy to dodge, the hidden arrows are difficult to defend, any relaxation and relaxation is an opportunity for the enemy.

Uncertainty, because you can't be sure, you can't relax. No matter what Cao Cao said, Xiahou Yuan still adhered to the habit he had always had, and when he came here, he would be the same when he left.

It is his task to protect the eldest brother, so Xiahou Yuan will never allow any problems to arise in himself. He won't allow a daze!

"Okay, Miaocai, let's go. I'm sure Sun Wentai should be staying here temporarily, and when the time comes, you can take a break in the inn. Thank you for your hard work. Cao Cao stopped joking and said seriously.

In fact, he didn't want Xiahou Yuan to relax, because he knew that no matter what he said, Xiahou Miaocai would still be the same. The reason why I said this was just a gag, and I used a joke to let Xiahou Yuan take a break.

Now, Cao Cao is no longer joking. arrived at the place, also because, if he continued to joke like this, when he returned home, he would not only face Xiahou Yuan, but also Xiahou Yuan and Candle Shadow. Or, along with the donkey, will Shi Shiran pass in front of him, flick his tail, spew saliva from his mouth, and mock silently.

How did he think of the donkey again? What, another word?

Shaking his head, Cao Cao suddenly sighed a little more, and secretly made up his mind to really stay away from the donkey of the candle shadow. If he continues like this, his state is worrying, and his future is worrying.

Cao Cao stepped into the inn and greeted a junior second with a smile on his face.

"Guest, where are the two of you? Do you want to eat or stay at a hotel? ”

"I'm looking for someone. If you want to go down, I'll call you when something happens. Cao Cao took out a few copper plates from his waist, threw them to Xiao Er, and sent him away.

Standing still, Cao Cao glanced around the hall on the first floor of the inn. His gaze finally stopped at a table in the corner and fell on the guest with his back to him. To be precise, Cao Cao saw the knife on the table, the knife that had a deep impression in his memory.

Sun Wentai.

Because the knife knows people, he knows Sun Wentai, first he knows his ancient ingot knife, and then he knows his people. Similarly, Cao Cao now, because he saw the knife, he was sure that the man with his back to him was Sun Jian Sun Wentai.

Some people's knives, even if they are stained with blood, may not be too profound in Cao Cao's memory, and they will soon be forgotten. Only Sun Jian, the knife of the tiger, and the person is like a tiger, left a deep impression on him.

In the battle to eradicate the yellow scarf, the other party's shine is not the same as everyone's.

Walking towards Sun Jian, Cao Cao stopped beside Sun Jian, and Sun Jian's hand was already pressed on the hilt of the knife when he was standing.

Although the inn hall was noisy, the sound of people's conversation, and the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding, it could not affect Sun Jian's ears. He is always very sensitive to the sounds he wants to hear clearly, and he is always wary of those who approach him.

"Wentai." Cao Cao sighed. It is extremely risky to approach others casually like this, especially behind the backs of generals like Sun Jian. If he didn't speak, then the next moment the tiger's knife would be on his neck, or he would directly raise the knife and fall from his hand.

Cao Cao saw that Sun Jian's hand holding the handle of the knife let go again. He turned, pulled the bench away, and sat down.

Sun Jian was pouring wine, and the wine flew down into the bowl, and when it was almost full, a lot of wine splashed out and spilled on the table. The mouth of the wine jar was raised, and a few drops of wine fell on the edge of the altar, and no more wine dropped, so Sun Jian pushed the bowl of wine in front of Cao Cao.

"Drink." He picked up his bowl of wine, lifted it, and touched it towards the bowl that Cao Cao handed over.

The edge of the bowl collided, and a few drops of wine flew up in front of the eyes of the two of them, and fell heavily, and the wine in the bowl began to ripple. After this, the two of them raised their heads and drank their wine.

"Mengde, long time no see." Sun Jian put down the wine bowl and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his fingers.

"Yes. Long time no see. Cao Cao also put down the wine bowl and said.

"It's been a long time, since it's been a long time, so presumably Meng De is here, not because it's so simple, right?" Sun Jian said lightly. He was a little surprised by Cao Mengde's arrival, but it didn't mean that he would think it was a coincidence.

Luoyang City is so big, there are so many inns, plus people everywhere, how difficult is it to meet another person? Unless it's a deliberate search.

"Those who know me, Sun Wentai also." Cao Cao laughed.

He simply didn't ramble, and went straight to the point: "Wentai, I want you to help me." ”

"What's the matter?" Sun Jian didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Eradicate the Ten Permanent Servants. And also... Big changes that can happen after that. As he spoke, Cao Cao stared at Sun Jian tightly.

The sharp glint in Sun Jian's eyes flashed away.

"Ten permanent attendants. Big change? He repeated, asking again in doubt.

"Yes. Big change. The general has ordered all over the country to assassinate Shi into Beijing and punish the ten permanent servants together. What I'm worried about is the changes in this, that is, those who have entered Beijing have seen an opportunity to take advantage of it, and perhaps their ambitions will not be able to suppress it. Cao Cao explained, but he didn't say exactly who he was wary of.

"That's right." Sun Jian lowered his head and looked at the wine bowl in front of him, the bottom of the bowl was still a little wet.

"How am I going to trust you? Cao Mengde. Raising his head, Sun Jian asked again.

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed, and he stretched out his index finger and pointed at the ancient ingot knife that Sun Jian had placed on the table.

"Wentai, you don't need to trust me. Just look at it, and if you have any questions, you can take your knife and ask me. If you think that I, Cao Mengde, have deceived you and done something harmful to the country, you can also kill me with the knife in your hand. ”

"I'm sure this isn't a difficult thing for you, right?"

"That's right. Since this is the case, then I will take a look with you to see what changes you Cao Mengde are worried about. Sun Jian nodded, put his right hand on the scabbard of the ancient ingot knife, and stroked it gently.

Cao Cao is not wrong at all, he will never easily trust anyone, in this Vanity Fair in Luoyang. He also doesn't have to worry about being deceived by anyone, because he has a knife, and with an ancient ingot knife can solve most of the problems.
