Chapter 122: Subversion of the Three Kingdoms (29)

The moon and stars are scarce, the cool breeze is gusting, the streets of Chang'an City are full of gloom, there is no one on the royal street, and from time to time there will be a team of soldiers from the Taishi Mansion who come out to patrol. The armor of these soldiers is not Central Plains attire at first glance, and many of them speak with a Western cool accent.

The city, which had been abandoned for more than a hundred years, was finally revived, a month ago, when the young Son of Heaven officially settled in the majestic palace left by his ancestor Han Gaozu. Unfortunately, due to the erosion of time, the palace has long been mottled. But the young Son of Heaven didn't seem to care about all this, in fact, he really didn't care. Because his life is in the hands of others at any time, as the king of a country, he is thrown around like a puppy carried by his master at will, and this young son of heaven may really not care about the environment of his residence.

Before coming here, he still had the most basic illusions about this dilapidated palace, fantasizing about the heroic spirit of his ancestors. But when you are immersed in the scene, you know what is wrong with things, and when the sun sets, mourning is greater than death.

Compared with this seemingly majestic but dilapidated palace, a mansion in the east looks extraordinarily splendid. There are lights and drums every day, compared with the deserted palace, it seems that this is the real Qionglou Yuyu. The person who lives here is none other than Dong Zhuo, who came to Chang'an with the little emperor a month ago, and he is also a figure who can cause a landslide and tsunami in this great empire at any time.

Lan Xi and Lu Bu came here three days ago, and the two of them did not rush into action, but kept watching in secret, trying to find the most suitable time.

In fact, according to Lan Xi's footsteps, he could rush over in a few days, because after Lan Xi re-cultivated the Book of Heaven, although his cultivation speed was very slow because the spiritual root was particularly good, after more than a year of hard cultivation, he still re-cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building.

In this way, you can practice the art of spells, although you are not proficient, but the power of spells is still very good, more than one percent better than the spells that come with the system. For example, the fire bullet talisman that Lan Xi has just begun to cultivate is directly a high-level talisman, and the production method is much simpler than the one that comes with the system, it only needs to be written with spiritual power, and it does not need to be written very standardly, this technology is simply foolish.

Also, making a charm painting for half a day is too time-prolonging. Tianshu is really a necessary exercise for home practice!

Thinking of the Book of Heaven, Lan Xi couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that she still wondered why Zhang Jiao had been dead for a year, and those people could still succeed. It turned out that this was all Zhang Jiao's younger brother Zhang Bao's idea. Because Zhang Jiao hasn't shown up for more than a year, but time waits for no one, so they took on Zhang Jiao's name and started an incident under the banner of Zhang Jiao. There are not many people who have seen Zhang Jiao, but there are many people who have seen Zhang Bao, so it is that there is no Zhang Jiao who can carry out the "Yellow Turban Uprising" smoothly!

"Xiaolan, what do you want?" Lu Bu looked at her in a daze and pushed Lan Xi.

"Oh, nothing, I'm going to be in a daze!" Lan Xi said embarrassedly.

At this time, it was midnight, and it was terrible to be quiet outside, Lan Xi simply gave up the supervision of Dong Zhuo's mansion, and lay on the table in the inn room, a little drowsy.

Just then, a shout broke the silence of the night.

"Catch the assassin!" The cry was not loud, but it was enough to wake everyone who cared about the city from their sleep.

"What's going on?" Lu Bu suddenly stood up.

Gently opening a window of the inn and looking out, Lan Xi instantly felt many different eyes searching in the dark night like searchlights, and also saw many people sneaking their heads out of different buildings, looking out curiously.

"What's going on?" Lan Xi muttered to himself, and then glanced at Lu Bu, and the other party was also surprised: "The ghost knows what's going on, no matter, let's watch the excitement first, depending on the situation, something happened to the Taishi Mansion, maybe someone killed that Dong Zhuo old thief for us!" ”

"Aren't you going to be disappointed, then?" Lan Xi teased.

"There are some disappointments, but everyone will be punished for such a national thief, and whoever kills them will be the same. However, it would be better if you could kill the old thief with your own hands. Lu Bu said with a little regret.

At this moment, I suddenly heard that all the pursuers suddenly gathered in one direction, could it be a pity to catch it.

Lan Xi and Lu Bu glanced at each other, and also took advantage of the night to secretly follow these soldiers in the direction where they had gathered.

As the distance approached, Lan Xi felt a familiar aura rushing to his face, could it be that the assassin of Dong Zhuo's old thief was an acquaintance? Lan Xi hurriedly opened Tianyantong, and after a closer look, he found that it was indeed an acquaintance, an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time - Cao Cao!

Lan Xi remembered that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it was not written that Cao Cao pretended to offer Dong Zhuo a seven-star treasure sword, and then waited for the opportunity to assassinate, but he didn't expect to be recognized by Dong Zhuo. In the original book, Dong Zhuo was able to recognize Cao Cao thanks to Comrade Lu Bu beside him, but now that there is no Lu Bu, I don't know if Dong Zhuo has seen through it.

Suddenly, Lan Xi thought of Xiaohong, that is, Diao Chan, didn't know if she came to Chang'an?

I saw that Cao Cao was surrounded by the soldiers of the Taishi Mansion, and it was impossible to escape.

In fact, Lan Xi was able to rescue Cao Cao immediately, but for some reason he just didn't want to save him, at least he didn't want to save him immediately, and he wanted him to suffer more. Thinking about it, maybe it's because he doesn't like Cao Cao too much, who let him kidnap Xiaohong away, he deserves to be beaten!

Therefore, Lan Xi pulled Lu Bu back and returned to the inn.

"Why don't you save him, isn't he the husband of your good sister Diao?" Lu Bu was curious.

"Don't worry, you can't die! What do you think, how could Dong Zhuo kill Cao Cao like this, he will definitely be tortured to extract a confession, don't worry, he won't die for a while! Lan Xi smiled and comforted Lu Bu, but he was a little weak for some reason when he said this.

Not long after the two of them sat down in the room again, Lan Xi's expression suddenly moved, his eyebrows furrowed quickly, and he rushed out of the inn as if he had no time to explain to Lu Bu, and rushed towards the place where Cao Cao was besieged just now.

"Don't!" The current Lan Xi really hates himself for why he is only in the foundation building period, and there is no way to fly in the sky.

In a few moments, Lan Xi arrived. But the moment he arrived, he was stabbed by a bright red in front of him, and he couldn't open his eyes. It was a puddle of blood, a puddle of blood that had just been left from a person. Even the spear hadn't even been pulled back from the man, and the blood was still gurgling down the hole.

It's Diao! No, it's Xiaohong!

I saw Xiaohong stubbornly protecting her high bulging belly with her hands, her eyes were still full of horror and disbelief and some more complicated looks, maybe a little regretful, maybe a little relieved. However, those looks were already dead in her eyes.

Behind her was Cao Cao, who looked demented, maintaining the movement of reaching out to hug Xiaohong's shoulder, and his mouth was stiff and unable to close because of too much surprise and pain.

In an instant, Lan Xi moved. One after another, the soul blades shot towards the soldiers of the Taishi Mansion, and when Lu Bu arrived, he saw this scene. Those soldiers were instantly torn apart by an invisible force, and before long, the ground was covered with shattered corpses and blood, and the scene was extremely eerie.

And Lan Xi's eyes were red with blood, as if he was a demon from hell. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
