Not long ago, Cao Cao, who had returned from the palace, invited Liu Bei, who had just been named General Zuo, to Meilin. The two of them cooked a bottle of sake, and when they were happy, Cao Cao began to ask Liu Bei cheekily who were the heroes in the world.

Originally, I wanted to praise myself through Liu Bei's mouth, but who would have thought that Liu Bei, who had just been canonized as General Zuo, would also be bold after three glasses of wine, but he ignored this stubble. From Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao brothers, to Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and others. almost said all the princes who were a little famous in the world, but they didn't mention Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, the Han prime minister in front of them.

In the end, Cao Cao really couldn't bear it. grabbed Liu Bei's hand and said, "In my opinion, there are only two people in the world who can afford the word hero." It's Xuande Gong and Cao Cao......"

As soon as he finished saying this, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded overhead. Then a bolt of lightning the size of a water tank struck a plum tree not far from the two of them, and then a heavy rain fell in the sky. By the time the people waiting around reacted, Cao Cao and Liu Bei had already fallen to the ground.

What the servants around didn't see was that at the moment when the lightning struck down just now, Liu Bei and Cao Cao both saw with their own eyes that there were more than a dozen vicious-looking evil ghosts with their mouths wide open and jumping down from the sky with this lightning.

These demons have clubs and chains in their hands, and they are a good blow to the two of them. As if they didn't see it, the surrounding servants let these evil ghosts beat Cao Cao and Liu Bei. I don't know why, these two people completely lost the consciousness of resistance, and they couldn't even speak. It seems that these two people were shocked by the thunder and injured by the heavy rain, but in fact, they were beaten by these evil ghosts.

While the servants brought the two of them back indoors, the demons continued to beat Cao Cao and Liu Bei with sticks and chains in their hands. Until the moment Zuo Ci suddenly opened the door, those fierce and vicious demons suddenly disappeared. After taking the charcoal stove handed over by Zuo Ci, Cao Cao's body was regained control by himself, and at that moment, the Han prime minister hurriedly retreated left and right, and sent someone to send Liu Bei back to the room to rest. Seeing that there was no one around, he told the old man what had just happened.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Zuo Ci sneered and said, "Prime Minister, this is a method for someone to use illusion spells on adults again. The man's spell was beaten back by me, and he was already seriously injured, so he should hide somewhere in the house to heal. Please order a search in the house......"

Hearing that Zuo Ci had already restrained the man, Cao Cao sneered and shouted into the air, "Who is so bold...... Where is Xiahou Yuan? ”

At this time, a general in battle armor came out of the corner not far away. It was Xiahou Yuan, the general who tested Cao Cao's poison not long ago, and this military general was responsible for Cao Cao's usual safety. Although the prime minister had already retreated, he still hid in the corner and did not dare to leave easily. After walking in front of Cao Cao in a few steps, Xiahou Yuan fell to one knee. Said: "The end will be here! Please ask Prime Minister Cao to instruct ......"

After Cao Cao nodded, he said, "Seal several exits in the mansion and not allow anyone to enter or leave." You take someone to search the house, and if you encounter an injured or suspicious person, you will immediately take it down, and I will interrogate it myself. If you encounter the slightest resistance, you will not be forgiven......"

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Cao Cheng looked back at Zuo Ci and Wu Mian, Gui Fu and others who had already come out. Knowing that these people were all Fang Shi who were with Zuo Ci, Cao Cao suddenly felt a lot more at ease. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Zuo Ci and the others: "Since this person dares to use evil methods to murder me, he must have a great deal of magic. It's still a good ...... for Mr. to search the mansion with Xiahou Yuan."

After Zuo Ci shook his head, he said, "No need, don't worry, Prime Minister, that person is now being eaten by magic." At this time, it is difficult to protect itself, and there is no way to fight back. ”

Seeing Zuo Ci's refusal, Cao Cao did not force it anymore. How can I say that it is good to have a master by my side at this time.

At that moment, Xiahou Yuan took 500 soldiers to seal the Prime Minister's Mansion. Then room by room was searched, and it was not long before a freshly dead body was found in the cellar. The corpse's head was separated by a sharp weapon, and the entire cellar was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Beside the corpse lay a dozen puppets dressed as demons, as well as runes that no one could see. Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to easily check the corpse, so he immediately sent someone to invite Cao Cao and Zuo Ci down. Coming down with Wu Mian, those people and demons.

At a glance, seeing the puppets beside the dead corpse, Cao Cao immediately recognized that it was the evil ghosts who had just intimidated and beaten him. But before he could explain to Zuo Ci, the old guy next to him who was not looking good smiled and said in advance: "Little doll Zuo Ci, you still missed a step, right?" Unexpectedly, two of them came, one was injured, and the other immediately fled. ”

Cao Cao saw Zuo Ci's respectful appearance towards this old guy, and he didn't dare to snub this person at the moment. The Han Cheng said to the non-returnee: "Since the old gentleman can see the clues, he must be able to find the person who killed and killed the mouth." Please also ask Mr. to give me some guidance and see who has the courage to dare to kill the prime minister of the dynasty in broad daylight. ”

He smiled and said to Cao Cao: "The Prime Minister is polite, at this time, the Lord has already made a judgment, and there is no need for the old man to show ......."

While the old guy was talking, Cao Cao had already signaled to Xiahou Yuan to search the body. As soon as he untied the robe of the dead body, he found that this person was wearing a brocade robe unique to the land of Eastern Wu. The search continued, and a letter written by this person to Yu Ji, a famous monk in Eastern Wu, was also found on the body of the dead body.

Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to open such a letter privately, and respectfully handed it to Cao Cao's hands at the moment. When Prime Minister Cao opened the letter, he saw that it said that the person who wrote the letter had arrived in the new capital of Xuchang. In the near future, he was going to do the important things he had discussed with Yu Ji, and it seemed that the person who was the exterminator did not expect that there would be such a letter in the arms of the dead body.

"It turned out to be a good thing done by Sun Ce of Dongwu." After Cao Cao sneered, he returned the letter to Xiahou Yuan and continued: "What a little overlord, I originally thought that after pacifying the Yuan brothers, I would sweep Jiangdong again. Now it seems that I will go to meet Sun Ce and Sun Bofu earlier......"

After finishing speaking, Prime Minister Cao Cheng gave the order for the assembly of the army, and after returning to Zhongtang, he gathered his staff and asked them to write a letter of rebellion, pointing the spearhead directly at Sun Ce of Eastern Wu. Originally, this was a great change from the established order, but for the sake of Cao Cao's attempted death just now, for a while, no staff dared to stop Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao was busy in the middle hall, Gui Wu Gui, Zuo Ci and the others had already returned to their rooms. Seeing that people kept coming and going in the distance, Xiao Rensan frowned, and said to the returnee: "Old immortal, we ginseng looks at this thing strangely." Look for yourself, who came out to kill people and still carry letters that were not sent? Once you miss and are caught, you don't need to torture to find your home. No matter how Cao Cao said it, he is also the prime minister, we can think of ginseng, can't he think of it? ”

"I didn't expect it to be you" After smiling, he continued: "The face of the prime minister is not to be bullied, who said that his serious illness must go to fight Dongwu?" See, in the end, it's not necessarily who is unlucky. ”

"Old fellow, tell me then, who came to curse and kill that prime minister this time?" At this time, Bai Wuqiu couldn't help but open his mouth and continued: "Isn't it Dongwu's strategy? Who would that be? ”

"I'm going to ask Prime Minister Cao Cheng about this, it seems that he has a lot of opponents, who can't wait for his life, and can't hide it." After smiling, he continued: "Later, we will see who his army really fights, who is the mastermind of today's incident." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Mian not far away. He just wanted to ask the white-haired man a few words, but Wu Mian glanced at him and said, "That's fine, at least it won't be boring." A monk escaped and waited for him to return......"
