However, at the time of parting, Cao Cao invited Wei Hong to come to Chen Liu as a guest.

Wei Hong just nodded and said yes, and continued along the river with the convoy.

Cao Cao and others went through many hardships and dangers and finally arrived in Chenliu County.

Cao Song's family went to Cao Cao's uncle Cao De, and Cao Song and Cao De cried with joy when they saw Cao Cao coming back safe and sound.

Nephew Mengde, are you finally back? Uncle Cao De said.

Cao De is also the uncle who loved to accuse him of black form when he was a child in Cao Cao's eyes, and now Cao Cao's family has come to seek refuge in Cao De.

The grievances when he was a child have long since disappeared, so Cao Cao did not have any dissatisfaction with Cao De, and he was also very excited to see his uncle who began to grow gray hair: Uncle, I'm back!

It's good to be back! Cao Song's old tears are full of tears, since he learned that Cao Cao committed a dangerous assassination of Dong Zhuo and was wanted by the imperial court, Cao Song's heart has always been hanging, worried about the future and fate of his son Cao Cao, and now seeing Cao Cao's safe return, Cao Song's hanging heart has finally landed.

Cao Song asked Cao De to set up a banquet to entertain Cao Cao and the three, and Cao Cao introduced Chen Gong and Lu Hu to Cao Song and the two, and the two old men were grateful to Chen Gong and Lu Hu for saving Cao Cao's life, and they were extremely enthusiastic about the two of them.

Everyone sat together, and Cao Song and Cao De couldn't help but ask about Cao Cao's experience after escaping from Luoyang.

Cao Cao said: "The two uncles knew that I was a young friend with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and after I went to Kyoto to take up my post, I often met with the Yuan brothers, and they told me that there was a sword in Situ Wang Yun's mansion that was as sharp as clay, called the Seven Star Knife.

Cao Cao thought about finding a suitable time to go to Wang Yun's mansion to come to the Seven Star Knife, and at this time, Situ Wang Yun said that it was a secret birthday celebration, and Cao Cao came uninvited.

Cao Cao knocked on the door of Situ's mansion, the housekeeper opened the door, and Cao Cao reported to himself: Cao Cao, the lieutenant of the military academy in Xiadian, has come to celebrate Wang Situ's fifty-third birthday, and please give a word.

The housekeeper squinted at Cao Cao, and seemed to be a little disdainful, but it was not good to offend Cao Cao in person, so he had to coldly throw down a sentence: Please wait!

shut Cao Cao out of the door, making Cao Cao's face very ugly.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and could guess what the reason was, the housekeeper was the person close to Situ Wang Yun, and Wang Yun hated Cao Cao's background the most, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Cao Cao took refuge in Dong Zhuo, and was entrusted with a heavy task by Dong Zhuo as a military captain, Cao Cao's power also made some officials unconvinced.

Situ Wang Yun will inevitably mention Cao Cao in front of the housekeeper, there must be no good words, they are all scolding Cao Cao, such as stooping to be a thief, aiding and abusive, etc., after a long time, it also caused the housekeeper to see Cao Cao and not have a good face.

You people underestimate me Cao Cao too much, and you also mislook at me Cao Cao. Cao Cao was even more determined about what he was going to do next, to wash away his shame and win a good reputation.

Just as Cao Cao was pondering, the door opened again, and the butler invited him in.

When Cao Cao arrived in the lobby, he saw that the ministers and ministers were there, and greeted everyone separately, but in exchange for treating him coldly, and even pointing at Cao Cao behind his back.

Cao Apu is embarrassed to come?

This person is Dong Zhuo's eagle dog, and I am afraid that he is uneasy and kind.

Meng De can't be a spy sent by Dong Zhuo, right?

Cao Cao didn't pay attention to how ugly the words were, and saluted Situ Wang Yun, who was sitting on the main seat, and said: I learned that King Situ came to celebrate his birthday on his birthday, and he was careful to show his respect.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he offered a delicate wooden box, Wang Yun asked the housekeeper to accept it, and when he opened it, there was a pair of jade ruyi in the box, which was worth a lot of money.

Thank you Mengde, Mengde has put your heart, please take a seat. Although Situ Wang Yun doesn't like Cao Cao, since the other party is here, he can't drive people away, and if Cao Cao is a person sent by Dong Zhuo, this will offend Cao Cao to death, and Cao Cao will go back and say bad things about him in front of Dong Zhuo, and it will not be easy at that time.

Cao Cao saw that both sides of the lobby were full of people, and there was no place for him at all, until he walked to the last row, only to see a futon without a seat, so Cao Cao knelt on the futon and sat down.

Situ Wang Yun chattered on it, and Cao Cao just wanted to doze off when he listened.

Speaking of which, it is nothing more than that the 400-year-old Han is coming to an end, and the traitor Dong Zhuo is bullying the monarch and doing nonsense.

Wang Yun wiped his tears as he spoke, and the ministers wept.

Ha ha! Cao Cao deliberately laughed out loud.

Cao Cao's laughter came so abruptly that it was particularly harsh in everyone's ears, as if he was mocking them.

I only heard one person speak angrily and reprimanded: Cao Mengde, your ancestors also ate Hanlu, and now that the society is in danger and the Son of Heaven is in trouble, you can laugh?

Cao Cao regarded it as someone else, it was Yuan Kui, the prince of the dynasty, that is, Yuan Shao's brother and uncle.

The relationship between the Yuan family and the Cao family is very complicated, the relationship between the people of the previous generation is relatively estranged, while the generation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is hot, not siblings, but closer than siblings.

Cao Cao's face was as usual: I laughed all over the court, and I was a daughter! You just cry from morning to night, from night to morning, and you can't cry Dong Zhuo.

Good you Cao Agui, you dare to be so rude! Many ministers were angry. The scholars of this era were most dissatisfied with others comparing themselves with women, and Cao Cao's words were extremely disrespectful to them, and they were insulting.

That is, how can you Cao Mengde and He De dare to speak out in front of us.

said that we only know how to cry and be a daughter, let me ask you Cao A to hide that Dong Thief is a father, and what kind of behavior is it to be servile?

It's not a big talk, as long as you are willing, you can take the life of Dong Thief and dog overnight! Cao Cao said loudly: I'm laughing and waiting, no one in the audience has the courage to get rid of Dong Zhuo!

Situ Wang Yun asked Cao Cao, what are your plans?

Although a certain is not talented, I am willing to take the head of Dong Thief and hang his head at the city gate, I Cao Cao said that it will be done!

Cao Cao made a generous statement, but was driven away by Wang Yun, Cao Cao left the lobby, and was about to go outside, when the housekeeper came in a hurry and stopped Cao Cao and said: General Cao is leaving, my master asked you to wait a while, and after the secretary left, he also asked General Cao's mansion to talk.

General Cao? Cao Cao sneered when he heard this, and he didn't speak anymore, just waited in a side room, about half an hour later, the secretary of state began to disperse, and when the people were gone, Situ Wang Yun personally came to invite: Meng De came with me.

Wang Yun led Cao Cao to the lobby and sat down with Cao Cao as the guest of honor.

I only heard Wang Yun say: There are many suitable people, so I reprimanded you, and I ask you to bear with me.

It doesn't matter, he stooped down to become a thief in order to gain the trust of Dong Thief so that he could assassinate him. Cao Cao took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then continued: Now that I, Cao Mengde, am quite a thief, I have many opportunities to get close to him, I heard that there is a sharp blade in Wang Situ's mansion called the Seven Star Treasure Knife? I am willing to use this knife to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to assassinate Dong Zhuo's old man! I wonder if Lord Situ can cut his love?

Wang Yun was overjoyed when he heard this: If Meng Deguo has this heart, the society is very lucky, and the people are very happy!

Saying that, he led Cao Cao to watch the seven-star knife, Cao Cao took the seven-star knife and looked at it: this knife is a kind of short knife, the shape is as short as a dagger, its knife is more than a foot long, and the knife body is inlaid with pearls, agate, glass, amber and coral, and other seven treasures, the legend says that the seven-star knife is made of meteorite iron outside the sky, and its blade is as sharp as mud.

I got the seven-star sword, and then left Wang Situ's mansion, and the next day I went to the prime minister's mansion with the treasure knife, and saw Dong thief lying in the small pavilion, and Lu Bu was serving next to him. Cao Cao took a sip of wine during the banquet and said: I asked Dong Thief for a good horse, Dong Thief asked Lu Bu to choose a horse for me, I saw Lu Bu leave, and I silently thought in my heart that Dong Thief would die today!

Meng De deliberately supported Lu Bu and let him choose a good horse, and at the same time designed a retreat for himself after the failure of the assassination of Dong, right? Chen Gong looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile.

Brother Gongtai knew me, and that's what I thought at the time, if the assassination of Dong was unsuccessful, I could get on a horse and run away. Cao Cao responded.

It's too dangerous! Cao Song and Cao De broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

Wealth and danger are sought! Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao talked a few words, and then fell asleep on the couch sideways.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's face was facing inward, and his back was just exposed, which was a godsend for Cao Cao!

Cao Cao took out the seven-star knife, pulled the knife out of the sheath, and was about to stab it from his back, not wanting Dong Zhuo to suddenly be surprised, Cao Cao reacted quickly, hurriedly knelt down, and offered the seven-star treasure knife: Enxiang I have been kneeling here for a long time, just to offer treasures to Enxiang.

Although Dong Zhuo had some doubts, he saw that he was red, so he took the seven-star knife and looked at it carefully: What kind of knife is this?

This is a seven-star knife, which is a first-class treasure knife in the world, Xiangguo may wish to give it a try. Cao Cao looked flattering.

Dong Zhuo faced a bronze mirror, and with a wave of force, the seven-star knife immediately cut open the bronze mirror, just as casually as cutting radish and cabbage.

What a knife! Dong Zhuo couldn't help but admire.

Dong Zhuo accepted the knife, Lu Bu also led the horse over, Cao Cao said that he wanted to try to ride the horse, and Dong Zhuo allowed it.

I rode this Xiliang horse, escaped from Luoyang overnight, and went straight to Zhongmu County. Cao Cao continued: When I arrived in Zhongmu, I was recognized, and the officers and soldiers took me away and met Chen Gongtai, who was the commander of Zhongmu County at the time.

Haha, it was Zhongmu County Ling Chen Gong, when I saw Meng De at that time, all I thought about was old things. Chen Gong laughed.

You're holding a grudge, aren't you? Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

Everyone asked why, and Cao Cao replied: When Chen Gong entered Beijing to ask for an official, he asked for my door, and I saw that he had neither a foundation nor any special ability, so I blasted him out, and then the public platform remembered me.

What happened? Cao Song asked curiously.

Cao Cao's uncle Cao De also urged on the side: Don't hang your appetite, talk about it quickly!

As soon as Cao Cao wanted to speak, Chen Gong spoke first: When I saw Meng De, I asked him who are you?

He replied that I am a merchant and my surname is Huangfu, so I interrupted him and said that you are clearly Cao Cao!

Then I said Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you also have today!

He was immediately ordered to be taken into custody.

Chen Gong ordered Cao Cao to be thrown into prison, but ordered his subordinates to serve him with good wine and meat, which Cao Cao also found strange.

It stands to reason that if Chen Gong holds a grudge against him, there is no need to treat him favorably.

Just when Cao Cao was puzzled, Chen Gong went to the prison to see him.

I heard that the prime minister treats you well, why did you betray him? Chen Gong couldn't help but ask.

Cao Cao said: The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird!

In the next wish to hear its auspiciousness! Chen Gong made a gesture of invitation and motioned for Cao Cao to continue.

I am the Han Prime Minister Cao Shen, the Cao family has eaten Hanlu for generations, and I don't think about the difference between serving the country and animals? I approached Dong Thief to kill him and eliminate harm for the country, but it can't be done today, this is the will of God, since I was captured by you, if I want to kill him, I have to listen to him. Cao Cao's iron bones are strong, and he is not afraid of death, which makes Chen Gong admire him!
