The following day, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos. The strategists, staff, and generals obeyed Cao Cao's orders and transferred back the troops that had been marched to Hebei to fight against Yuan Shao. Led the army east and rushed to the garrison of Sun Ce in Eastern Wu.

Doing so is tantamount to disrupting all the previous plans, and transferring troops will also allow Yuan Shao's army to intercept his own back road. Everything has to be replanned. That night, it was a busy night, and before dawn the next morning, there were already staff members who had already written a memora to present the emperor. Although Prime Minister Cao Cheng's power is now tilted towards the government and the opposition, such a major event still has to be carried out in the court as usual.

Now there are still two or three hours before the early dynasty, and at the moment, under the persuasion of the staff, Cao Cao reluctantly agreed to take a nap for two hours. The shock I received yesterday has almost subsided, and it's time to take a break.

Prime Minister Cao was too lazy to go to the dormitory, so he asked the housekeeper to make a bed in the middle of the hall. When everyone saw that the prime minister wanted to rest, they retreated from the middle hall one after another, and Xiahou Yuan personally guarded the door for Cao Cao at the door.

At this time, Cao Cao was also extremely tired, and it didn't take long to fall asleep on the bed. Just after Prime Minister Cao Cheng fell asleep, a middle-aged man dressed in black suddenly appeared out of thin air on the roof of the beam of the middle hall. Looking at Cao Cao below, there was a slight snoring sound in his mouth, and the man took out a thin silk thread from his arms.

The man in black skillfully tied one end of the silk thread into a circle, and then put the silk thread at one end of the circle towards the position where Cao Cao was asleep. This silk thread was in the hand of the man in black, as if it had life. It was like a spirit snake hovering over Cao Cao's head, and then silently put the circle around the prime minister's neck. I don't know if Cao Cao is extremely tired, he has a silk coil around his neck, and he doesn't feel it at all.

At this moment, the man in black held his breath and jerked the silk thread in his hand. In the midst of a bloody light, Cao Cao's head was cut off, and at this time, Prime Minister Cao Cheng still didn't shout a word in his sleep.

The man in black was also a little excited when he saw that he had gone to Cao Cao's neck. He adjusted his breathing to return to normal, and then the man in black still used the silk thread tied in a circle to the man's head. Finally, little by little, he lifted the head and placed it in a brocade box that had been prepared and filled with lime.

After everything was cleaned up, the man in black stood up from the beam. Gently removed the roof tiles from the top of his head one by one, revealing a hole that could accommodate a person to enter and exit. Sensing that he could get in and out of the hole, the man in black rolled over and got out of the hole, and then disappeared into the first rays of the morning.

After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the man in black suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Navigating through a stretch of rooftops, it wasn't long before he climbed over the walls. When he left Xuchang City, the sky was already bright. In the excitement of ecstasy, the man in black felt light. He himself couldn't imagine how simple it would be to kill Cao Cao and bring disaster to Sun Ce in Jiangdong. When I returned to Hebei in this way, I saw my father-in-law, and I didn't know what kind of reward I would receive.

The man in black ran to a long-abandoned Fangshi dojo twenty miles outside Xuchang City, which had not been inhabited for many years, and was already dilapidated and crumbling. After the man in black entered the dojo, he first walked around and made sure that the person he was waiting for did not appear, so he carried the person pretending to be Cao Cao on the beam. Guarding the beams of the house, he closed his eyes and fell asleep......

The man in black is also a very tired person these days, but he is asleep, and his heart is also vigilant, as long as there is any wind and grass around, he can wake up immediately.

I don't know how long I slept, but the sleeping man in black suddenly heard the sound of someone entering the dojo. Sensing that an outsider had entered this dojo, the man in black had already opened his eyes, and his eyes were staring at a man in sackcloth who walked into the dojo below.

After seeing the faces of the people who came, the man in black laughed and jumped off the beam. After shaking the brocade box in his hand for a while, he said: "Huang Bingxing is not dishonored, and he has already cut off the head of the national thief Cao Cao." The lord must have rejoiced when he saw the head of the deceased. ”

As he spoke, Huang Bing, the man in black, had already opened the brocade box by himself, and saw that the grinning human head in the lime inside was undoubtedly Cao Cao. The Mai man also couldn't believe his eyes, the man in black and his companions were originally used as outcasts to bring disaster to Soochow. Unexpectedly, this outcast could take Cao Cao's head back.

After confirming that the lime was Cao Cao's head, Mai Man believed it. He glanced at the man in black with some envy, and now he didn't talk about the reward given by the lord after he went back, but said that Cao Cao died in his own hands. This reputation is enough for the juniors, how could such a great good thing fall into the hands of this outcast.

At that moment, the Mai people used their own secret method of sound transmission to inform their companions nearby of the news that they had obtained Cao Cao's head. It didn't take long for seven or eight men in sackcloth to gather here. When these people saw Cao Cao's head, they couldn't believe their eyes. After confirming that the owner of the head was Cao Cao, the Mai man who took the lead said: "Since Cao Cao is dead, Xuchang is bound to be in chaos. There's no need for us to stay here anymore. Back to Hebei ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded outside the dojo. Just when these people suddenly felt that something was wrong, countless arrows shot in from all directions. Including the man in black, there were ordinary people who died on the spot and were killed by arrows.

There are some monks who have survived, and they don't know what the situation is outside, and these people don't dare to act rashly. At that moment, several people found a place to hide, and at the same time began to use the Five Elements Escape Method to prepare to escape from here. But at this time, they realized that they didn't know what had been banned here.

At that moment, the Mai man who took the lead reacted, opened the brocade box containing Cao Cao's head again, and saw where Cao Cao's head was. It was obviously a stranger in his twenties or thirties with a scarred face, and he was tricked......

"Hit the mark! We still have a chance to escape. The four of us are divided into four positions to break through separately, and if we can escape, one counts as one......" Before the words fell, this man had already got up and rushed out towards the relatively sparse position of arrows. Seeing that he hadn't been hit, the second Mai man rushed down from behind him.

But at the same time as this person rushed over, the arrows that were still sparse instantly became dense. "Whoosh!" With a bang, 1,800 arrows flew over at the same time, instantly shooting the two people into hedgehogs.

After seeing the tragic scene of the two people, the faces of the remaining two people changed. The two men gestured, motioning for them both to get up at the same time and run towards the two positions. With a bit of luck, maybe one person will be able to escape this fate.

At that moment, just as he had promised, a person suddenly jumped up from the ground. Before he could take a few steps before he was shot by a bow and arrow, his speed slowed down slightly. More arrows were fired at him, and the moment the man fell to the ground, he saw his companion, who should have been running in the opposite direction at the same time as him, and fell to the ground trembling.

After seeing that all the people were dead, the last Mai man shouted, "Descend! I lowered my ...... Don't kill me, whatever you want to know, I say ......"

Upon hearing that someone had surrendered, a group of lightly armored soldiers rushed in with knives and guns in hand. Tied up this person, two hours passed, and the only surviving Mai man was sent to the prime minister's mansion in Xuchang City.

When Cao Cao personally interrogated this person, in the pavilion, Zuo Ci said to the smiling Gui Gui: "Thank you Mr. Gui for your clever plan, if it weren't for Mr. Gui's help, Zuo Ci couldn't have imagined that there would be such a fine uprooting of Yuan Shao in Xuchang City......"

Without waiting for Zuo Ci to finish speaking, Wu Mian, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly sneered and said, "Do you think this is over?" ”
