When I arrived at Wang Yun's mansion, it was getting late. The wine has passed three rounds. The attendants invited us to sit down, but saw that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were here. People like Na Lu Zhi, Cai Yi, Huang Fu Song and others are all present.

Just sat down, but heard Wang Yun suddenly hide his face and cry, Cai Yi and Wang Yun knew each other, and asked, "Today is Situ's birthday, but why are you sad?"

Wang Yun said: "Don't hide it, today is not my birthday, I just want to pull all the adults to reminisce about the past, and I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will be suspicious, so I have to use this method." ”

"But I don't know what Lord Wang wants to hide from Dong Zhuo?" asked Huangfu Song.

"All the adults also saw it in the morning court today, the captain of the Yue cavalry Wu Fu hid a knife in his sleeve, and wanted to follow the example of Jing Ke to stab Qin, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Lu Bu's gang, and was dragged to the execution ground with thousands of knives, which was very tragic! Poor loyal ministers and good generals were killed by that traitor like this!"

I was secretly frightened, could it be that this Wu Fu is also a member of the Mo family, so he is so righteous and awe-inspiring?

I only heard Wang Yun pause, and then said: "Back then, Emperor Gaozu punished Qin and destroyed Chu, so that there is today's Han world. However, Dong Zhuo is a puppet, but he relies on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to bully the lord and seize power, and the society is in danger! I have been in the Han Dynasty for 400 years, but I did not expect to be buried in Dong Zhuo's hands today......

His words were very moving, and the ministers of the scholar clan also quietly wiped their tears. I only heard Lu Zhi put the wine bottle on the table and said loudly: "I will gather the old ministry and come to King Jingqin, and never let this traitor's conspiracy succeed!"

"Lu Shilang, how easy is this to talk about? At the moment when the world is in turmoil, the gold has not been removed, and the princes in various places have their own ghosts, how can we old ministers say that we can mobilize troops and horses? Besides, Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, who would dare to risk the crime of disapproval and come to King Jingqin?"

"Hey, what do you say?" Lu Zhi asked.

"Haha, hahaha......" but listening to one person laughing wildly at the banquet, it was none other than Cao Cao. I was shocked, and I don't know how stimulated I was.

Wang Yun said angrily: "You have eaten the court for generations, and today the court is in trouble, what is the purpose of laughing instead of serving the country?"

Cao Cao said: "My lords, what I am laughing at is that everyone is gathered here, as if there is no plan to kill Dong Zhuo, but they can only cry here like a woman." Although Cao Cao is not talented, he should do his best as a Han minister, and he is willing to assassinate Dong Zhuo tomorrow and hang his head above the city gate!"

Wang Yun didn't believe it, stared at Cao Cao for a long time, and asked, "What is Meng De's opinion?"

"During the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, I advised He Jin not to issue an edict to let the princes enter Beijing, but I didn't expect him to listen, and as a result, not only did he die, but also caused Dong Zhuo's disaster. Today, Cao Cao is under Dong Zhuo's account, and what he is doing is nothing else, but to deceive the trust of this thief, so that he can get close to him, and wait for the opportunity to kill the traitor!

"Can I help in any way?" asked Huangfu Song.

"I heard that Wang Situ's family has two treasures, one is the beautiful Diao Chan, needless to say, the other is a seven-star knife, I hope Lord Situ can cut his love and lend it to Cao Cao, tomorrow I will enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to kill it, I am afraid that the knife is not fast enough!" Cao Cao said.

"Although the sword is good, it must be matched with a hero! Meng Deguo has this heart, what is a knife? Sit down, my lords, and I'll go get the knife. After Wang Yun finished speaking, he left the table and went to the back hall.

After a while, Wang Yun brought the treasure knife, the knife was not long, only the length of the dagger. Nested on it are seven gemstones, sparkling. Cao Cao got a "hey" sound and cut to the corner of the table, like cutting tofu, and the corner of the table fell in response.

"Good knife!" Cao Cao praised. Everyone was full of praise.

"Since you pretend to celebrate my birthday, and Meng De is willing to kill Dong Zhuo with a knife, double happiness is coming. Why don't you let the singers in my house dance for all of you?" Wang Yun said.

The crowd said in unison, "That's very good." ”

Wang Yun clapped his hands three times, the music sounded, and the women moved the lotus steps lightly and walked out. The dance steps are graceful and dazzling to watch. It was already wonderful, but I saw a woman in pink suddenly appear in the center of the stage, her face covered with a light veil, her waist was gentle, and she danced in the palms of all the women. Although I can't see my face, I am full of brilliance between a pair of wonderful eyes.

"This should be Diao Chan. Cao Cao whispered.

But I heard Cai Yi say: "What a beautiful woman with a slender waist and a light palm! I would like to write a poem to match the dance." "Everyone applauded better. But I heard Cai Yi say slowly: "The grass on the banks of the Qingqing River is thinking about the long way." The distance is incredible, and I dreamed of it in the past. I dreamed that I was near me, and suddenly I felt in another country. They are in different counties and don't see each other. The dry mulberry knows the wind, and the sea knows the cold. The entry is flattering, who is willing to talk to each other. Guests come from afar, leaving me with a double carp. Hu'er cooks carp, and there is a ruler book. Kneel down and read a plain book, what is the book like. The above words add meals, and the next words look like memories. ”

After the poem ended, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and everyone cheered loudly. Diao Chan bowed and said, "Little girl, thank you for the poem." ”

Cai Yi laughed and said: "Poetry with beauty, just like a sword with a hero, the two are suitable." ”

Diao Chan thanked again.

Everyone had a drink, the night was already dark, and they were afraid that Dong Zhuo would be suspicious and inquiring, so they all said goodbye to Wang Yun. Cao Cao and I left last, Wang Yun took Cao Cao's hand and said: "Meng De, you must be careful when you go tomorrow, whether my Han family can prosper or not is all in your hands! Wang Yun please!"

He bowed deeply, and Cao Cao hurriedly returned the salute.

I didn't say anything all the way, and when I returned to Cao's mansion, I asked, "Brother Cao, are you really going to assassinate Dong Zhuo tomorrow?"

"It's not me, it's us. Cao Cao smirked slyly.

"What, am I going too?" I was shocked.

"If I don't go with a master like you, I dare to assassinate that old horseman? As soon as I thought that this trip was indeed dangerous, I said: "Okay, you are that Jing Ke, I will do Qin Wuyang once!"

Cao Cao stretched out his thumb and said, "Righteousness!"

I was afraid that this would be dangerous, and I thought that if I didn't come back tomorrow, I would have to make preparations. I went to Xiao Hanyi to tell him first, but I didn't expect him to have fallen asleep, so I went to find Xu Qianxue, and the lights were still not extinguished. I wanted to go in directly, but after a little groaning, I felt that it was very inappropriate for the three men and widows to be in the same room in the middle of the night, and I was hesitating, but I heard the door "squeak" open, Xu Qianxue smiled, and said: "It turned out to be a big brother, I thought it was a thief, come in." ”

I blushed and walked in. She made me another soup, apparently waiting for me.

"Brother Duan, are you okay?" asked Xu Qianxue.

I told me about going to the banquet in the evening and going to assassinate Dong Zhuo with Cao Cao tomorrow. Xu Qianxue said: "It's not okay to assassinate directly like this, if it fails, then we will all lose our lives." ”

"And what can you do?"

"That seven-star knife is a treasure knife, if the timing of the assassination is not right, you can take out the knife and present it to Dong Zhuo, just say that it is a knife, or there is a glimmer of life. Xu Qianxue groaned.

"You're still smart. I boasted.

"Go tomorrow, if the assassination fails, go to the east gate immediately, I will wait for you there then, and we will go away together. Xu Qianxue said.

"Hmm. ”

But I saw her slowly leaning her head on my shoulder and said, "Brother Duan, I want to be your wife." ”

"Hmm...... "I don't know what to say.

"Would you like to?"

"But Xiao Hanyi, Brother Xiao ......"

"I knew he was good to me, but I didn't like him, and I ...... Just like you. ”

"I have no fixed place to live, and I don't have much money, so follow me...... It will only make you suffer. "I speak incoherently.

"No matter what, I just want your people. Do you know, at the Heroes Meeting that day, I recognized you when I saw you for the first time, and later, when my father entrusted me to you on his deathbed, I was actually very happy in my heart. ”

I was very grateful, and thought to myself that I was a poor boy, how could I be worthy of such a beautiful girl as her. was emotional at the moment, so he gently hugged her in his arms. Said: "Xue'er, you are so good-looking, I like you too......"

She smiled happily and closed her eyes.

The candle finally burned out, and the night was hazy and entered the boundless darkness.
