Chapter 29: Sharpening the knife and killing

Wang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Yi, as if he didn't know this person, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to have such a profound insight.

"Lord Rain will leave for the time being, if there is an accident, it will naturally not implicate you!" Wang Yun issued an eviction order.

Yuyi wanted to explain something more, but was already locked out of the door by the guards.

After Cao Cao left the east gate of Luoyang City, he rushed to Qian County, passing through Zhongmu County, and the sergeant guarding the pass received a pursuit order, so he captured Cao Cao and went to see the county order.

Cao Cao loudly defended: "I'm not Cao Cao, I'm just a merchant, surnamed Huangfu, and please let the villain go." ”

The county magistrate walked up to Cao Cao, observed it carefully, groaned for a while, and said: "When I went to Luoyang to seek an official position, I saw you before, you are Cao Cao, why do you lie that your surname is Huangfu, quickly press him into prison, and wait until tomorrow to go to Luoyang City to find the prime minister to receive the reward." ”

Cao Cao stood in the prison and remembered his fate, he assassinated Dong Zhuo in order to win people's hearts, not to sacrifice his life, and now that he was arrested, he naturally couldn't be careful with his thoughts.

That night, the county commander separated the sergeant guarding the cell with wine and food, went to see Cao Cao alone, and then ordered someone to take him out and interrogate him in the backyard, asking: "I heard that Dong Cheng is very good to you, why did you go to assassinate him and cause such a big disaster?" ”

Cao Cao was arrogant at this time, and said with a smile: "The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird!" Since you have caught me, please take it and ask for a reward, so why do you need to ask? ”

The county commander let the left and right retreat, walked up to Cao Cao, and said, "Don't underestimate me, I'm not an ordinary official, but I haven't met a wise director." ”

Cao Cao felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and further explained: "My ancestors all ate the food of the Han Dynasty, if I don't want to serve the country, then what's the difference between me and a beast? Although I stooped down to serve Dong Zhuo, in fact, I wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate him and eliminate harm for the world, and now that Heaven's will is like this, I can only accept my fate! ”

The county commander stepped forward to untie the rope in Cao Cao's hand, and said: "Meng Degaoyi, I admire you, but I don't know where you are going if I let you go?" ”

Cao Cao bowed, expressed his gratitude, and said: "I am going to return to my hometown, and then recruit some warriors, after becoming a climate, I am willing to crusade against Dong Zhuo with the heroes of the world, this is my long-cherished wish!" ”

After hearing the county order, he was very moved, personally helped Cao Cao to sit down, bowed, and said: "Meng Degong is really a rare loyal and brave man in the world!" ”

Cao Cao stood up and bowed back: "Dare to ask the name of the county order?" ”

replied: "The surname is Chen, the name is Gonggong, and the word is Gongtai." The old mother and wife are all in East County. Now I feel loyal and righteous, and I am willing to abandon an official and flee from the public. ”

Cao Cao didn't expect things to take such a turn for the better, and he was very happy and invited Chen Gong to accompany him.

In the middle of the night, Chen Gong packed up some coils, used them as travel expenses, changed his clothes, and together with Cao Cao, each carried a sword on his back, and threw himself in the direction of his hometown on horseback.

After Yu Yi came out of Wang Yun's house, he kept sending ears and eyes to inquire about the situation, on the one hand, whether Dong Zhuo's side began to seek evidence from the treasure knife, and on the other hand, about Cao Cao's whereabouts.

Staying at home, nothing else happened, Yu Yi smiled secretly in his heart, this Li Ru is not a qualified strategist, and it is estimated that he is now devoting most of his energy to women, so the strategist's sharpness has decreased a lot.

There is a very large brothel in Luoyang City, which is the gathering place of high-ranking officials in Xiliang, and it is Li Ru who is the leader.

As for Cao Cao's side, after Yu Yi learned the news that he was arrested, he was very anxious, on the one hand, he was very worried about Cao Cao's safety, on the other hand, he was more concerned about whether Cao Cao would confess himself if he was escorted back to Luoyang, fortunately, he was too worried.

In the end, the news was that the county order actually packed up his belongings overnight, released Cao Cao, and left with him. This is like a woman, if you don't marry the multimillionaire in front of you, you must start a business with a poor boy.

Because of the martial law in Luoyang City, Yu Yi did not go to Situ Wang Yun again in addition to the early court on time, but continued to write letters to Liu Bei, but the frequency of writing letters decreased a lot, because he found that there were too many people who knew about this matter, and if it continued like this, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

In Chenggao, Cao Cao and Chen Gong finally arrived here after several days of trekking, and it was getting late, so they planned to spend the night here.

Cao Cao pointed to the depths of the forest with a horsewhip and said to Chen Gong: "There is a family living here, the owner's surname is Lu, his name is Boyu, it is my father's borrowed brother, we won't live in the inn today, so we will go to his house to settle down, what do you think?" ”

Chen Gong nodded and replied, "That's great!" ”

So the two rode all the way, dismounted in front of the manor, and went in to see Lu Bohao.

Lu Boyu was overjoyed when he saw that it was Cao Cao, and said: "I heard that the imperial court has issued a wanted warrant for you, and in order to arrest you, a reward of 10,000 gold and the condition of sealing the marquis of 10,000 households have been proposed. ”

Cao Cao recounted what happened in Guanzhong, and said, "If it weren't for Chen County's order, I would have died on the road a long time ago." ”

Lu Bo bowed and said, "If it weren't for your help, the Cao family would definitely be wiped out, and I would like you to stay in the cold house tonight, and we will prepare dinner." ”

After saying that, he walked into the house, and after a while, he came out of the house and said, "I have finished drinking the wine at home, let me go to the West Village to buy a jar, please wait patiently." ”

With that, he rode out on a donkey.

Chen Gong and Cao Cao sat together and said to Cao Cao: "Meng Degong is righteous, it is a blessing for Sheji to be able to rescue, where do you dare to claim credit, please let Lu Boyu not be too enthusiastic." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Sir saved my life, how can I not be grateful!" ”

Chen Gong had to persuade again, but Cao Cao had stopped talking, so he had to sit like this.

Suddenly, the sound of sharpening knives came from behind the manor, and the two of them showed hesitation in their eyes.

Cao Cao suddenly became suspicious, and said to Chen Gong: "Lu Boyao is not my close relative, and we have not been in touch for a long time, they are now sharpening their knives in the back, whether they have the idea of killing people is unknown, let me listen to it secretly." ”

So the two of them sneaked to the back of the manor together, and they didn't see the scene yet, but they heard a voice that said, "You say, isn't it easier for us to tie it up and kill it again?" ”

replied: "It's better to kill it directly, it's so troublesome to tie it up, what if they resist, they can't be tied up." ”

Cao Cao was originally very suspicious, and now his identity is also problematic, so these two sentences have become a talisman for Lu Bo's family.
