That night.

News of Xu Zhen's raid on the Jinwuwei camp spread, and the Assassins crossed the Jinwuwei and entered the Jinwuwei camp on the side of the Imperial City.

The direct assassination of Xu Zhen is said to have been successful, and that night, the main tent of the Jin Wuwei camp was full of blood, and the imperial city was in chaos.

In the second half of the night, Dong Cheng finally learned the news, and immediately couldn't sleep, so he sat up from the bed, looking puzzled and panicked.

"Who killed him? Yang Biao? Who else could there be? I've never sent anybody! ”

"If Xu Bowen is really dead, this crime will definitely be suspected on my head, bastard, who wants to harm me?!"

Dong Cheng muttered to himself, pacing back and forth by himself, and he had already sent out at least three waves of people before, all to find out the current situation.

and to find out about Xu Bowen's current life and death.

According to the rumors that circulated, he was already dead, but Cao Cao personally went to the Jinwu camp and blocked the news, and was not allowed to spread it in Xu Du.

But now the whole inner city is almost known.

The officials in the inner city were all amazed, some were lamenting that Dong Cheng's methods were extremely ruthless, and some were lamenting that Xu Zhen's fate was ill-fated, and he had just improved, but he was dismissed because of the collision.

Now he is in his camp again, and he has been assassinated.

Moreover, a team of people rushed into the camp and hacked Xu Zhen to death directly, because during this time period, Xu Zhen was generally sleeping, and this habit had long been known.

When he arrives, Xu Zhen must sleep peacefully, which is also a matter of his strict self-discipline, after all, he must get up early in the morning, although he will continue to sleep when he arrives.

It is estimated that someone caught this matter, so he calculated the time and assassinated him directly.

At this moment, in a scholarly and antique house in the inner city, a woman wearing a green and radish robe suddenly rushed out of the courtyard, and asked the maidservant in surprise: "Xu Bowen, dead?" ”

"Miss, this is true, Cao Sikong's guard came to report it."

"Dead?" The woman's eyes were sad, she gritted her teeth, and said: "He said last time that he invited me to drink in the future, but he has not fulfilled it for a year, and I have rejected many talents in Hedong for this reason, and I am determined to stay in Xudu as a female doctor and compile it for Sikong." ”

"I even wrote down many books from my father and gave them to Sikong as a thank you gift."

This woman is Cai Wenji, and since she saw Xu Bowen at the last banquet, she didn't take a fancy to it at a glance.

And I just think that it is general, it is to decide to meet him again, to look at his character to learn, and not to make conclusions based on appearance.

As a result, he was rejected by Xu Zhen nineteen times.

Recently, the arrogant Cai Wenji was ready to block Xu Bowen once, if not for anything else, just for this evil breath.

As a result, he was assassinated?!

"I'm afraid the whole inner city knows about this news."

"Today, this prince scolded General Wei in the court, and then his General Wei Dian beat General Wei on the school ground."

"Ah Qing, don't inquire about this, it's already very difficult for us to survive, don't get involved in any struggle."

Cai Wenji frowned and scolded, how her father died in Chang'an in the first place, she still knows it in her heart.

Just because when Dong Zhuo died, his father showed a sad expression, and he was imprisoned and killed, and Cai's family was also driven out, selling his property all the way and fleeing, and all the books in his house were robbed by thieves, and they were left behind.

And she was inexplicably taken to Yanzhou Juancheng halfway, and she has survived to this day.

However, due to fate, I met Xu Bowen, but it was also a creation, and I don't know if it was fate or fate.

At this time, he finally made up his mind to block him once, but he was assassinated.

It's just a microcosm of the city.

In the entire Xu Capital, almost everyone reacted, and the concern was naturally anxious, and of course those who had a grudge against Xu Zhen were happy.

But no matter how much he hated Xu Zhen, he didn't dare to laugh heartily at the moment.

For example, Dong Cheng, after hearing the news, he paced uncomfortably at home for a long time, and finally decided to ask Yang Biao to go with him to meet the Son of Heaven.

First, it is to make it clear in advance, this is not to fall into the net and be a thief. It's Dong Cheng's heart, and this plan may be that Cao Cao wants to take this opportunity to splash dirty water.

Taking advantage of today's grudge between Xu Zhen and himself, he wants to pull him down, and even Xu Zhen killed by Cao Cao himself.

This is not impossible, Xu Zhen has a life-saving grace for the Cao family, and with something like today, which angers the courtiers and the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will inevitably protect him with his life.

But if he is pampered and arrogant, and every time he uses this to coerce, can the Cao family always protect him without any worries?

What's more, he has offended so many people, and he has slept in Jinwu Camp every day during this time, how can he not be disliked.

Xu Zhen is a typical person who is proud of his merits, and it is only reasonable that he was killed by Cao Cao.

And it just so happened that Cao Cao could blame himself for all this matter, so Dong Cheng had to go and talk to the Son of Heaven first.

After he returned home, he kept losing his temper, and then he saw Yang Biao, and then fell asleep peacefully.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that I learned the news.

These things must be explained clearly to Cao Mengde, or find someone to prove his innocence, and Cao Cao must not be allowed to have the possibility of adding crimes.

At this time, Dong Cheng went to Yang Biao's mansion and asked him to enter the palace with him to check the safety of the Son of Heaven at this time.

The two of them drove quickly to the imperial city, and after checking it, they walked into the palace late at night.

Walking on the wide school field, I didn't expect to bump into Cao Cao head-on, "Dong Guozhang!" Hello great official! ”

As soon as Cao Cao saw him, it was like a thunderbolt, which made Dong Cheng's heart swell, and he suddenly surged with anger: "I slept early last night!" ”

"At this time, Sikong don't talk nonsense, I have Taiwei and Taifu to testify! There are also many generals under his command who can swear to death in front of His Majesty! ”

"Really?" Cao Cao stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, leaned forward casually for a moment, approached Dong Cheng to see his face, and then leaned back and said: "I only know, Xu Bowen was assassinated, blood flowed all over the ground, the assassin is unknown, and he fled into the imperial city, if it weren't for your internal guard's fornication, how could there be such a route!" ”

"Humph! Why you can enter and leave the palace, I'm afraid your Excellency knows better than me! Dong Cheng immediately gritted his teeth, and his heart was even more angry.

I've put up with it yesterday.

Originally, I was really going to fight with Xu Zhen, but I couldn't help it! I've even swallowed my anger and become a shrunken turtle! and you will persecute me.

I Dong Cheng is loyal to the Son of Heaven, and the sun and the moon can be learned! By the way, be a loyal minister of the country who will go down in history, and save the fame of helping the Han Dynasty to die and be praised by future generations.

Why, so many people want to harm me?

"Haha, what Dong Guozhang meant, did I assassinate Xu Bowen?"

"Isn't it? If Xu Bowen dies, it can be said that it is my time to take revenge on yesterday, so I will do it! ”

Cao Cao laughed, "Dong Guozhang inevitably despises Cao too much, such a stupid plan, how can Cao use it?" ”

Dong Cheng snorted coldly, turned his face away, and said unconvinced: "Perhaps, if you do the opposite, you will make some achievements!" The way of reality and reality, Sikong is unparalleled in the world! ”

"Well," Cao Cao lowered the corners of his mouth and nodded thoughtfully, "It also makes sense." ”

"Your Excellency doesn't think I'm boasting, do you?" Dong Cheng looked at it modestly, and his mood was even more unhappy, you Cao Mengde was in such a situation, and if you tried to harm others, your reputation would be damaged.

And if it spreads out at this time, whether it is Xu Bowen you killed or not, as long as someone speculates like this, who else will be willing to join you in the future?

Why is it so easy to be at such a critical moment?

"I'm going to meet the Son of Heaven now and explain this! As for who did it, it is up to the Son of Heaven to decide! ”

"Haha," Cao Cao immediately stopped and said, "I have some little things to report to the Holy Driver, but I heard that the Taiwei and the Guozhang have come to meet each other, so they welcome each other, why don't you go together?" ”

Cao Cao smiled kindly, just like when he met with civil and military officials in Luoyang every day.

At that time, he was on an errand for Dong Zhuo, like the sky, and was ashamed of the scholars, and secretly scolded him as an eagle dog lackey, but when they met, Cao Cao followed him as long as he was faceless.

These old Hanchen must be respectful, based on what Cao Cao said, because after Cao Cao discovered this, he must walk with them whenever he is on the same road.

In order to enjoy it, these scholars hate it to the bone, but they can't help it at all.

Now it's here again.

But Dong Cheng and Yang Biao glanced at each other, but they both sneered.

Doesn't Cao Mengde know his current situation? But you still dare to be so arrogant, this plan can't kill me, but it will kill your reputation as a corporal of Lixian.

Although Xu Bowen is disliked by the scholars, if he dies, especially such an assassination mystery, it will definitely discourage many people.

Let more people join Yuan Shao's command.

"Hmph, let's go, go to the palace, see how I play him!"

Dong Cheng's heart was full of resentment, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

……

Temple.

At this time, it was also a mess.

The Son of Heaven was not in the inner courtyard, so he directly asked Jin Wuwei to escort him from the dormitory to the main hall.

The two rows of guards were all Jin Wuwei, and Dian Wei was stationed outside the gate of the main hall, with angry eyes.

It was Dong Cheng who glanced at Dian Wei when he stepped on the last step of the stairs.

"Humph!"

Dong Cheng glared at him from afar, and walked around to Cao Cao's other side.

As soon as he entered the main hall, when the Son of Heaven saw Dong Cheng, he immediately got up excitedly, his eyes were full of excitement, "Guozhang!" Today's dormitory was attacked by assassins! The internal guards are all fighting with this moment, and they are all martyred at this moment! ”

"Huh!?"

Dong Cheng's eyes immediately widened, as if he had been struck by lightning, his steps were originally still lifted in mid-air, but at this moment, he stomped down like lightning, and immediately rushed forward, running from big strides to small broken steps, and at the same time arched his hand in front of the Son of Heaven.

He asked eagerly, "All dead?" No life? ”

Cao Cao asked loudly, "Your Majesty has not been injured, has he?" Can the dormitory be peaceful? Did the assassins catch it? ”

Liu Xie was shocked, his face was slightly pale, he trembled a little at the moment, ignored Dong Cheng, looked up at Cao Cao, and said: "Love, love Qing Zhongjun, I am fine, fortunately, Dian Wei arrived in time, fought with the assassins, and killed dozens of people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

"Oh, that's it! Isn't that Dian Wei a rescuer? ”

"Yes, I, I will reinstate the official of the warden, seal the internal marquis, and issue an edict to reward him on a certain day."

Liu Xie's mouth pursed, a little aggrieved, and he looked at Cao Cao's eyes in disbelief.

And Dong Cheng was left aside, and he was suddenly annoyed in his heart, forgetting to care about the Son of Heaven.

As a result, the right to speak completely reached Cao Cao's mouth, but soon, he was hit by these news like a heavy punch in his heart.

Cao Cao then asked, "Your Majesty, are all the internal guards dead?" ”

"All Dead......

Liu Xie's eyes were glazed, he didn't know how he died, and he didn't understand who sent those assassins.

In short, when the guards came out, almost all the schoolyards, Lang Pavilions, and courtyards outside the dormitory were corpses, and none of the internal guards survived.

Basically, they are all slashed to death with heavy blades, and the death is not beautiful at all.

"Then, it won't be the abbot, just now I still suspect that the abbot will do it, it's really damned." Cao Cao patted the back of his head and shook his head helplessly.

Then you are going to die.

Dong Cheng scolded angrily in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it, his whole body was cold, and he only felt like falling into an ice cellar.

The guards, all dead?

These internal guards, which I have finally inserted, are the old departments of our army, and they are all elite people, and they have followed me for many years.

No one survived......

Dong Cheng completely understood at this time.

There are ghosts, there must be ghosts in this matter!

My internal guards must have been killed by Cao Cao, otherwise what assassin would be able to kill three hundred experienced and well-armed internal guards?!

And these people ...... They wouldn't have died, if they were still in the army, or had been secretly training dead soldiers for me.

That's not all.

It was Cao Cao who showed weakness and revealed a flaw, and it was I who naturally defeated him in the court, and then pushed three hundred internal guards to protect the Son of Heaven.

I thought that I had regained the power to protect the emperor and gradually squeezed out Cao Cao's position.

During this time, Cao Cao really didn't fight with me, but just watched the fire from the other side.

Now, all the 300 henchmen personally trained in the army have been killed, and the cause of death is the heroic rescue of the Son of Heaven, and he should be a warrior of the country and be buried with generous gifts.

Just the bereavement pension can shut up their families, but Dong Cheng wants to speak, but he doesn't dare to speak, if he doesn't even say the bereavement pension, how will he face their family in the future.

Fortunately, it is rumored that Xu Bowen is also dead.

Cao Mengde, if you cut off my arm this time, you will also have to hurt yourself and your confidants.

Although until now, Dong Cheng is still convinced that it was Cao Cao's hand.

"Dang, of course it can't be Dong Qing, don't forget, Dong Qing is my father-in-law...... How can it hurt me? ”

"Haha, some sons have killed many fathers-in-law, and they still believe that their father-in-law killed their sons-in-law, but Dong Guozhang should not be this kind of person, and the three hundred guards he cultivated are still very heroic."

"So, who is the assassin, have you found out?"

Cao Cao asked with concern again, and Dong Cheng's original mind was no longer here, but after hearing this, he immediately became interested.

He also wanted to hear how it would be explained.

This group of people is neither Cao Cao, nor himself, nor other Hanchen, can it be Yuan Shao or people from outside the Guan?

"The assassin is from Huainan, the minister thinks! It should have been secretly sent by Yuan Shu. ”

At this moment, a figure took off his shoes from the threshold and entered, his expression serious and galloping like the wind, and his robe rose with the wind.

Xu Bowen!!

Dong Cheng looked back at the person and was petrified on the spot.

He's not dead???

I didn't expect to catch up today, but I was too tired, I didn't change in the early morning, and I slept and got up to 20,000
