Chapter 28: Urgent Escape
Walking outside the house, Yuyi bowed and said: "Thank you Brother Meng De for his righteousness, although the eldest husband should be loyal to the country, he can't be numb, please be careful!" ”
"That's natural, I'll act as a camera, don't go back on what Lord Yu promised!"
Cao Cao smiled.
So Cao Cao sorted out some things, emptied the residence of Luoyang City, leaving no clues, and then wore a treasure knife, went to Dong Zhuo's mansion to report, and asked the guards: "Where is the prime minister?" ”
Answer: "In the attic." ”
Cao Cao's kung fu was very good, and he was a person with whom Dong Zhuo had a close relationship, so he went directly into the attic.
After entering, Yuyi found Dong Zhuo lying on the bed, and Lu Bu sitting next to him.
After Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao, he was a little angry and said, "Why are you so late?" ”
Cao Cao sighed: "It's not because of me, it's that the horse is running too slowly. ”
Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu and said, "You go back and get a good horse from our Xiliang to Meng De, you have to pick it for him personally, go now!" ”
Lu Bu took the order and left, leaving only Dong Zhuo alone, Cao Cao secretly observed the surroundings, thinking, this is the heavens that want you to die, Dong thief.
Seeing Dong Zhuo suddenly turn his back, Cao Cao thought that the time for assassination had come, so he was about to make a move, and in a blink of an eye, he remembered the previous scene when Wu Fu was held down by Dong Zhuo, and was afraid that Dong Zhuo's strength was great, so he put the knife he drew back again.
Dong Zhuo turned his back and said, "Hey, my body is not as good as before, I feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, so let's lie down." ”
It is also a godsend, after Dong Zhuo lay down, he actually turned his back to Cao Cao, this time it was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Cao Cao didn't do it, he didn't stop, took out the treasure knife in his hand, and prepared to stab it in the back.
Halfway through the stab, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to raise his head and wipe it in the mirror, and when he saw Cao Cao pulling out a knife behind him, he was very puzzled, and said, "Meng De, what are you doing here?" ”
It just so happened that at this time, Lu Bu's footsteps also came, he should have found a good horse and came to the outside of the attic, at this time the assassination was impossible, but Dong Zhuo didn't know what he saw in the mirror, it was really urgent.
But Cao Cao has his superiority after all, he hurriedly put the knife between his hands, showing a posture of offering a knife, and then knelt down and said: "I have a treasure knife, I want to give it to the prime minister!" ”
Dong Zhuo knew the reason, his emotions recovered a little, took the knife over, looked carefully, and found that this knife was more than seven feet, the knife body was inlaid with seven gems, it was extremely bright, the blade was polished and smooth, and at a glance, he knew that it was extremely sharp, and it was really an unborn treasure knife.
At this time, Lu Bu came in, Dong Zhuo handed the treasure knife to Lu Bu, asked him to put it away, and then took Cao Cao to the outside of the attic to try Xiliang's war horse, he first boasted about the situation of the war horse, and then talked about the growth of the war horse, it seemed that he was proud of Xiliang's things.
Cao Cao was terrified at this time, thinking of a way to get out, but he didn't listen to Dong Zhuo's explanation, he just kept nodding his head as a pretense.
"Dong Cheng treats me very well, and I am willing to test ride it once to show the majesty of the Xiliang war horse."
Dong Zhuo nodded, watching Cao Cao ride away on horseback. After Cao Cao got on the horse, the horses galloped very fast, and after a while, they left the prime minister's mansion and left quickly in the southeast direction.
Lu Bu walked out of the attic, and after knowing that Cao Cao was far away, he said: "When I came in just now, I found that Cao Cao had the intention of stabbing you in the back, because you scolded him, one is cowardice, so he said that he was offering a knife." ”
Dong Zhuo recalled the whole process, and also felt some doubts in his heart, during the discussion, Li Ru arrived, and Dong Zhuo told him the cause and effect of the matter.
Li Ru thought for a moment and said: "Cao Cao's wife doesn't seem to be in Luoyang, he just lives in an inn, please ask the prime minister to quickly order a recall, if he has no doubt, he will definitely come back, that is to offer a knife, if he can't shirk it, it will be an assassination, and then you can catch him to ask for the guilt." ”
Dong Zhuo thought it was feasible, so he ordered Cao Cao to be summoned in the direction of the four city gates.
At this time, Cao Cao walked to the vicinity of the east gate, and there were guards at the door, and Cao Cao was in trouble for a while.
After Yu Yi saw Cao Cao, he inquired about the situation, and learned that the assassination plan had failed and he was going to run away, so he provided him with a way, and several of the guards at the east gate were bought by Yu Yi, and he had already said hello, but Cao Cao was a court official after all, and he couldn't go out without a suitable reason, so there must be a reasonable excuse, such as doing things in the name of Dong Zhuo.
After hearing this, Cao Cao arched his hand to Yuyi and said, "The coming day is long." With that, he walked to the east gate.
"Don't leave the city without a reason!"
The guards at the east gate blocked Cao Cao's way.
Cao Cao deliberately made a very anxious look, and said: "I am Yuyi's friend, and now the prime minister has sent me out to do errands, and the matter is urgent, if it is delayed, what should you be guilty of!" ”
The guards looked at each other and had no choice but to let Cao Cao go.
Yuyi looked at the direction of the east gate, remembering Cao Cao's description of the assassination, and admired this person's courage very much, if it weren't for the fact that he and Liu Bei had already worshipped, and had a brotherhood, working with this Cao Cao might also be a beautiful conversation.
Soon after Cao Cao left, the people sent by Dong Zhuo found the east gate, learned that Cao Cao had left, and after asking the reason, they went back to Dong Zhuo to return to his life.
report: "Cao Cao has not returned to his residence, and all the items inside have been transferred!" ”
Newspaper: "Cao Cao went out of the city from the east gate, according to the guards at the east gate, Cao Cao claimed to be sent out by you as the prime minister, and they didn't dare to stop him!" ”
Dong Zhuo felt very angry after hearing this, and Li Ru said: "Prime Minister don't be angry, Cao Cao has a weak heart, so he escaped, which confirmed his assassination." ”
"Hmph, I use him so much, and it's also very good to him, and he actually wants to kill me in turn, it's really hateful!" Dong Zhuo said angrily.
Li Ru said with a smile: "This matter is not over yet, Cao Cao can assassinate so smoothly and leave so smoothly, there must be a careful plan, there must be other accomplices, only if Cao Cao himself is caught, he can know." ”
So Dong Zhuo ordered someone to draw Cao Cao's figure and appearance, wanted Cao Cao in the whole city, and issued a notice: If Cao Cao is caught, he will personally dedicate it to the imperial court, reward a thousand gold, seal ten thousand households, and if someone is found harboring Cao Cao, then he will be guilty of the same crime.
After the notice came out, Yuyi secretly went to see Wang Yun and told him in detail about Cao Cao's assassination, saying: "Now that Dong Zhuo is arresting people in the whole city, he may start with the matter of the treasure knife, what should I do?" ”
Wang Yun began to cry again, and said, "God really bless my big man!" ”
"What are you crying about, although it failed this time, it also aroused the people's disgust with Dong Zhuo's tyranny, and it was only a matter of time before Dong Zhuo was assassinated."
Yuyi heard a big man crying and felt very depressed.
