Chapter 538: Ritual
Next.
The award ceremony was held in front of the Xudu Palace, on a large open space.
The platform has already been set up here, large flags have been erected around it, and all the things needed for the award ceremony have been prepared.
Early this morning, Cao Cao led a group of strategists and generals around him to come here.
At this time, Cao Cao, wearing a robe for accepting rewards, stood in the middle of the field with high spirits, looking at many people in Xudu who came to see the excitement, and seeing the people's hearts falling on him, he couldn't help laughing loudly and was in a happy mood.
Unconsciously, he went from an ordinary Taishou to the position of the Duke of Wei of the Han Dynasty, but it took a few years to have such an achievement, which he had never imagined before, and sighed: "If there is no crossing, there will be no me today." ”
Of course, Chen Zhou also followed him, originally wanting to make soy sauce, but when he heard Cao Cao mention himself, he had to say: "Actually, I really didn't do anything." ”
Hearing this, they all laughed.
Thinking about Chen Zhou, he was as low-key as ever.
They have done so many things, formulated a detailed direction for Cao Cao's development, and said in such a low-key manner that they have not done anything, and none of them can compare with this mentality.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
At this time, someone shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the gate of the palace at the same time, and saw Liu Xie coming out of the city gate.
Before he came out, his expression was iron-blue and indifferent, as if someone owed him a lot of money, but the moment he appeared in front of Cao Cao and the others, his face was full of smiles, and his expression changed quickly, which can be called a change of face.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao and the others had no choice but to bow hypocritically and say.
"Duke Wei, and all of you, no courtesy!"
Liu Xie is very hypocritical, and his acting skills are also very good, he suppressed all the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said enthusiastically: "Today is a good day for me to reward Duke Wei, you don't have to be polite, the next big man has to rely on Duke Wei." ”
Cao Cao also said hypocritically: "As long as there are ministers in the Han Dynasty, they will definitely not fall, and the ministers will definitely be able to calm the world for Your Majesty!" ”
It is with you Cao Cao that the big man will definitely fall!
Liu Xie just dared to think about this sentence in his heart, but of course he didn't dare to say it, and said: "Please Wei Gong take the stage to accept the seal!" ”
"Good!"
Cao Cao bowed again and walked to the sealed platform.
Seeing this, Liu Xie sneered in his heart, thinking about today's Cao Cao, that is dead!
Fu Wan and Sima Fang their plan should be successful, today is still the time when Cao Cao is the most carried away, as long as people are too inflated, they will definitely lower their vigilance, as long as someone raids at this time, then Cao Cao will die.
Liu Xie not only wanted to kill Cao Cao, but also wanted to kill all the people around Cao Cao.
Those people betrayed the Han, no matter how good their ability is, Liu Xie will not use it, anyway, he still has Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Wolong, and he can succeed in anything.
"Wait a minute, it must be exciting!"
Liu Xie was secretly thinking, and there was a flicker of murderous intent in his eyes.
Chen Zhou noticed Liu Xie's killing intent, and sighed secretly: "This puppet emperor, still can't put himself in the right position, if he can keep to himself, in the future Cao Cao will replace the Han, he may still be able to live, but now he will definitely not live." ”
It's just that when the entire platform is sealed, it will be a whirlpool of contradictions.
There will be a lot of deaths, and it will be a mess.
Chen Zhou, as a scumbag of war, didn't want to be involved, so he took Ma Yunlu and Lu Lingqi's hands and said, "Let's go to the side, don't get too close, let them play slowly." ”
Later, you can see the blood flowing, and it can be very exciting.
Ma Yunlu and Lu Lingqi, but Chen Zhou specially came to protect himself, who knows if Liu Bei will kill himself by the way, after all, he is a person who has long been on Liu Bei's blacklist, and it is necessary to be cautious.
"Don't worry, husband, it's safe to have us."
Lu Lingqi said.
Having said that, they still stepped back, avoided the contradictions here, and went to the side to watch the play.
Fu Wan and Sima Fang were also among them, and at this time, the two sides glanced at each other, and then looked at the people who were watching the ceremony nearby, as well as those entourage, and their hearts were suddenly stable!
Those assassins had long been mixed in, waiting for action, waiting to kill Cao Cao with one blow.
At the same time, there are also many archers, hiding on the nearby rooftops, in case the close assassin is useless, they can also give Cao Cao a 10,000 arrow through the heart, and shoot Cao Cao directly.
They thought they were well arranged, and they had everything ready, just waiting for one to do it.
Be sure, foolproof!
"It's time to go."
When Liu Xie saw this, he shouted.
The officials in charge of etiquette moved quickly.
Cao Cao had already ascended the sealing platform, and when he saw the sense of ceremony here, he sneered in his heart, and raised his hands to accept the admiration of the people of Xudu.
In the current Xudu City, Liu Xie's reputation is zero, and the sense of existence is almost zero, and the people only know Cao Cao, but not Liu Xie.
After all, they can live well in the troubled times, they can have a full bite to eat, and it all depends on Cao Cao to pacify the Central Plains and the northern regions.
Otherwise, there will be countless people who will starve to death.
When Liu Xie saw this, his face was gloomy, and he was very envious and jealous, but he quickly put all kinds of thoughts behind him, thinking that Cao Cao was about to die, so let him be arrogant again, and see what Cao Cao could do later!
At this time, the official in charge of etiquette came to the sealing platform and stood beside Cao Cao.
"Gong Wei, please take the ribbon."
The official said.
Cao Cao first laughed, put away his raised hands, and said, "Take the seal ribbon!" ”
Behind the officer, there was also an entourage.
He was holding a tray in his hand, and the seal ribbon was on the tray, so he lowered his head and stepped forward, but when he walked, his eyes inadvertently glanced up, and he peeked at Cao Cao again.
Cao Cao caught this look, but he didn't care, just looked at the seal that belonged to him.
"Gong Wei, please take the ribbon."
The official picked up the seal ribbon and was about to hand it to Cao Cao.
The attendant suddenly threw away the tray in his hand, flipped his wrist, took out a short knife from his sleeve, and stabbed Cao Cao directly.
This assassin is also Liu Bei's dead soldier.
The movements are very clean and neat, and they don't talk too much about anything, as long as they have the opportunity to get close to Cao Cao's side, seeing Cao Cao relax his vigilance, without saying a word, he shot very decisively, and stabbed Cao Cao fiercely, as if he could see the picture of blood splashing in the next moment.
However, there was no blood water.
The short knife in the hand of the attendant seemed to be stabbed on an iron plate with a "bell".
The force of the shock made his arm numb.
"Now that the reward is awarded, do you still need to use the knife?"
Cao Cao looked at the short knife stabbed in his robe and sneered.
Since he knew that someone was going to assassinate him, it was impossible for Cao Cao not to prepare, and in the cover of the robe, he also wore a suit of armor dedicated to the camp.
An ordinary sword can't hurt yourself at all.
