Cao Cao could not help but laugh." Renlu, you just arrived. You might not know this, but I have a sleepwalking disease. I can kill people in my dreams." Therefore, if there's nothing important in the future, it's best not to approach me when I'm asleep to avoid being killed by me.”
Hearing this, Jia Renlu's heart trembled. He suddenly remembered that Cao Cao had such a strange habit. At that time, he didn't remember and almost lost his life. He nodded and said,"I really don't know, but I will definitely remember in the future.”
"Hehe, Renlu, is there something you need from me?" Cao Cao laughed.”
When Jia Renlu heard this, he almost fainted again."Didn't you ask me to come? You're still urging me to come and find you. How did it become me looking for you? Could it be that he lost his memory after sleepwalking?”Thinking of this, he hurriedly said,"It was indeed the Ming Official who called me here to play chess. I didn't dare to be negligent and immediately followed that person."”
Cao Cao's face darkened and he said angrily,"Nonsense! I'm a little tired from handling official business today, so I specially took a nap to recuperate. How could I send someone to play chess with you?”
Jia Renlu cursed in his heart. He was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his back was covered in sweat. He quickly knelt on the ground and said,"Someone came, indicating that you wanted to invite me to play chess, so I came.”
"Guards!" Cao Cao shouted. Not long after he shouted, Guard A came out from the door and knelt down in front of him. He replied,"Yes!"
Cao Cao said," Go and ask the guards at the gate. See who led Ren Lu here. Once you know his name, immediately capture him and bring him here. I want to interrogate him personally."”
"Yes!" Guard A replied. He turned around and left.
Cao Cao helped Jia Renlu up and said,"Renlu, someone must have wanted to harm you. That's why they led you here." Don't worry, I'll definitely find out who the mastermind is. I'll interrogate him properly and give you justice. Have you offended anyone recently?"
Jia Renlu thought, Who is it? If it's because of Diao Chan, then I've offended a lot of people, including Cao Cao. If it wasn't for Diao Chan, who would harm me? I'm usually quite popular and have no grudges against anyone.”Thinking about it, he had a headache, but he couldn't figure out who it was. Just as he was feeling depressed, a person's appearance suddenly popped out from the depths of his mind and appeared in front of him. Jia Renlu snapped his fingers and cried out involuntarily,"Could it be her?"
"Who is it?" Cao Cao asked.
"That mysterious man called himself Zhang Quan," Jia Renlu said. That day, she disguised herself as a man and came to my house. She played the song " Phoenix Seeking Phoenix " to me, then said two or three unimportant words and left. I made that tigress in my house drink a vat of vinegar and punished me to kneel on the washboard for a long time. My knees are still hurting.”
"How old is that man?" Cao Cao asked."What does he look like?"”
Jia Renlu quickly described Zhang Quan's age and appearance. Cao Cao frowned and his face was ashen. He was obviously furious and shouted,"A girl actually dares to play such a lewd song in front of others. She really has no shame. She must be a bad person! I've never seen this person before, so he's obviously not from my residence. However, Renlu, don't worry. I'll draw a picture and issue a warrant to capture her. As long as she's still on my ground, she won't be able to escape even if she has wings.”
Jia Renlu said," Maybe I've wronged her. I guess she was just acting on a whim and playing a little prank. I think it's fine. You don't have to go through so much trouble for a small person."”
As they were talking, Guard A led Guard B to kneel in front of them. Guard B reported,"Reporting to Ming Gong, Jia Renlu came alone today. He said that he had something important to report to Ming Gong, but no one brought him here!”
Jia Renlu was so angry that his face turned purple. He widened his eyes and stammered,"You…you…how can you lie with your eyes open?!”
Guard B glanced at him." I'm telling the truth. Jia Renlu came alone." Not only did I see it, but several brothers beside me also saw it. If Ming Gong does not believe me, you can call them over to testify.”
"Renlu, what are you here for?" Cao Cao's face darkened.”
Jia Renlu quickly knelt on the ground and said,"I dare not lie. It was indeed Ming Gong who summoned me."”
"Nonsense!" Cao Cao said angrily. I have sleepwalking and once killed someone in my dream. Even now, when I think about it, my heart is still filled with grief. Since that was the case, why would I send someone over when I was resting? You said that someone lured you here, but now everyone says that you came on your own accord. What else do you have to say?”
Jia Renlu was secretly complaining in his heart. His entire body was trembling, and large beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead. The clothes on his back had long been soaked, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his flesh. He thought,'It's over, it's over, I've been hit. Why did this move sound so familiar? Where had he seen it before? He couldn't remember it at the moment…Right, Instructor Lin from Water Margins had mistakenly entered the White Tiger Festival Hall. Damn it, Gao Yamen forced his father to do this in order to steal Lin Chong's wife. Cao Dada, you actually did this in order to snatch Diao Chan. Have you seen Water Margins? Or was this a special trick you painstakingly developed to steal other people's wives, and Grand Commandant Gao and the others just plagiarized it from you to deal with Master Lin Chong?”
Seeing that Jia Renlu was speechless, Cao Cao shouted,""Men, take down this madman who wants to commit an assassination!”
Bodyguard A and Bodyguard B quickly rushed to his left and right sides, bending his two arms back and pressing down on his joints to restrain him. Another guard came out from the dark and cut off the knife from his waist. He then took a few steps back and kicked his butt.
Jia Renlu felt pain in his heart, but he did not dare to make a sound. His heart was in a mess, and he could not think of any clever plan to escape. He could only beg,"Ming Gong, spare me! Ming Gong, spare me! I came here because you asked me to. I didn't mean to offend you.”He thought to himself,'It's the monarch who wants me to die, and I have no choice but to die. Now that I'm using this plan, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River.'”
"Jia Fu, it's already come to this, yet you're still quibbling!" Cao Cao shouted. Someone, slap him and see if he can remember anything!”
Guard C, who had stabbed him, rushed to the front with a sinister smile on his face. He raised his hand and slapped him. Before Jia Renlu could react, he turned his hand and slapped him again. Two palms landed, and Jia Renlu's ears buzzed. His cheeks were swollen, and the five finger prints on them were very clear.
Cao Cao asked,"Why did you come to assassinate me?"”
Jia Renlu thought to himself,'It's useless to say anything now. I might as well give him a big fortune in silence. I won't say anything even if I'm beaten to death.'”Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and widened his eyes. He put on a posture of a revolutionary martyr whose head could be cut off and blood could flow. He did not say a word and stared straight at Cao Cao. His eyes were as sharp as knives and swords. If looks could kill, Cao Cao would have died more than a hundred times.
Cao Cao said,"You're quite stubborn. Slap your mouth again!"”
Bodyguard C didn't dare to be negligent and slapped him ten times in a row. Jia Renlu had already disregarded life and death, he didn't care about it and tried his best to smile. Seeing the strange expression on his face, Cao Cao raised his right hand and shouted,""Stop!"
Guard C immediately stopped. Jia Renlu waited for him to stop and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the nine heavens.
"Why are you laughing?" Cao Cao was surprised.”
Jia Renlu laughed." Haha, Cao Cao, oh Cao Cao. Do you think you can shut everyone's mouths with this lousy plan of yours?" In your dreams! If I die today, the entire Xu City will be in an uproar tomorrow. They will say that you coveted Diao Chan's beauty and plotted to kill her husband. Your reputation will be ruined. However, you are destined to be notorious for thousands of years. It doesn't matter if you bear this bit of reputation. Haha!"
Cao Cao was furious and gritted his teeth. His Qi and blood surged, and his old headache came back. In an instant, he felt a splitting headache. He reached out to cover his head and shouted,"Drag him down and chop him up. Throw his corpse into the mountains to feed the wolves!”
"Yes!" Bodyguard A and Bodyguard B replied.”He lifted Jia Renlu up and pushed him out. Jia Renlu thought to himself,"Don't, Diao Chan!" Although I only had a girlfriend for a short month, I already felt extremely happy. I would be satisfied with such a day, let alone a month. I've always wanted to protect you, but unfortunately, I don't have any ability at all. I only know how to joke around. I can't do anything but spoil things. Instead, I've caused you a lot of trouble. I really feel sorry. Now that I'm leaving, I can't protect you anymore. Take care of yourself. It's a pity that I can't even write a letter to you. But that's good. If I wrote it, you probably wouldn't understand it and would laugh at my handwriting. I actually have something to say to you in my heart, which is: 'Diao Chan, Diao Chan, I love you like a mouse loves rice!'，Poor little mouse, I'm about to be sent to the guillotine. The moment I'm about to be beheaded, I must shout this sentence out. I hope you can hear me!”
The Second Guard had just pushed Jia Renlu out of the palace door when he suddenly heard Cao Cao shout,""Come back!" He quickly turned around and pushed Jia Renlu back to Cao Cao, pressing him to the ground. Cao Cao said angrily,""Since he dares to act like this, there must be someone behind him. Take him away and interrogate him!"
