No matter how strong one's martial strength was, no matter how brave one was, it was still impossible for one to walk silently and leave the end of one's vision in a few steps. For such a person, Cao Cao could not think of any other possibility other than an alchemist like Demonic Priest Zhang Jiao.
"Bad luck…" Cao Cao secretly spat, his face filled with grievance. He was shocked by a Demonic Priest and fell to the ground in a sorry state. This was a great humiliation for a general.
Previously, he had seen Zhang Jiao who could summon the wind and rain. Countless aristocrats were terrified of Zhang Jiao's power, but Cao Cao looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
In his mind, necromancers were people with strange powers. Naturally, there would be people who would do their own things. Since necromancers had chosen another way of life, they should not interfere in this matter.
Li Xuanling's warning seemed like nonsense to him. He had planned for this for a long time. He couldn't say that it was foolproof, but the chances of success were quite high!
Once they succeeded, Cao Cao and Wang Yun expected that without Dong Zhuo, the people from Western Liang would not dare to resist Emperor Xian's orders. At that time, they would be able to set things right.
At this time, he encountered an alchemist who said that he would not succeed. If it was not bad luck, what was it? As for how the other party knew that he wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao looked at Diao Chan's back thoughtfully.
He had seen Diao Chan more than once in Situ Wang Yun's residence. Although her clothes had changed and her temperament had changed, he was confident that he would not recognize her wrongly.
“... A woman will harm the country." " Hmph!" Cao Cao frowned as he looked in the direction the two of them disappeared. He snorted coldly and hurriedly headed toward the Imperial Palace with his birthday gift.
When the time came, all the civil and military officials carried the gifts into the palace. The true owner of the palace was revealed at this moment. Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, could only tremble like a helpless child under Dong Zhuo's power, not daring to make a sound.
After a grand ceremony, Dong Zhuo was in high spirits. He led his officials and rode a carriage around Luoyang. He was delighted to see the festive atmosphere.
After patrolling for nearly four hours, this huge group slowly returned to the palace. Dong Zhuo was not young after all. He was addicted to wine and meat, and his body was not as good as before. However, he ordered the banquet to go on as usual. He would take a rest first.
Back in the inner palace, under the service of a group of beauties, Dong Zhuo was drunk and did not care about fatigue as he galloped around. Just as he closed his eyes to rest, Cao Cao began to move.

"Chan 'Er, do you like this?" Li Xuanling looked at the roadside stalls with interest. He had never strolled around the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty before. Everything on the street was somewhat novel to him.
" To draw sugar, heat the cane sugar with water and boil it until it's sticky. Then, pour the sugar juice onto a smooth copper plate and draw the shape while it hasn't solidified. The sugar from the Western Regions is the sweetest. This..."
Diao Chan looked at the peddler and explained everything to Li Xuanling. In her eyes, her lord was truly otherworldly. Compared to him, the things of mortals were like heaven and earth.
"Chan 'Er, I'm only asking if you like it?”Li Xuanling raised an eyebrow and flicked Diao Chan's forehead with a smile.
"Hi... I like it." Diao Chan's face was slightly red. A woman's nature was lively and lively. How could she not like such an exquisite thing?
"Old man, can I borrow your stall?”Li Xuanling walked up to the stall and bowed slightly to the old man. He raised his hand and handed over a small piece of gold.
Gold was a hard currency in any era. He was the Crown Prince of the Tang Empire. Although he did not have ready-made gold ingots on hand, there were many things made of gold in the palace. He could use a piece of it anywhere.
In order to make it easier for him to travel outside, he had used the Eternal Heavenly Lord Sword in his hand as a chopper and torn apart the Crown Prince's golden carriage that originally belonged to him.
"Sir, sir…This is too much, too much. This old man can't afford it…" When the old man saw the gold, he panicked and quickly refused.
He was a sugar figurine artist. He had never even seen a golden bean before, let alone such a small piece as thick as a finger. A windfall fell from the sky. An honest man was so scared that he did not know what to do.
Li Xuanling didn't think too much about it. He went to the stall and fiddled with the spoon and sugar board. This kind of money was worthless to him. If he didn't want to save trouble, he wouldn't even bother to put it in the system warehouse.
"Old man, please accept it. It's good to add some new clothes for your wife and children at home.”Diao Chan saw the flustered old man and comforted him. She then stood opposite Li Xuanling and quietly watched him fiddle with the spoon.
When the old man saw Diao Chan's heavenly beauty, his expression stiffened slightly. He clenched the gold in his hand tightly and put it into his pocket. He smiled bitterly and bowed to the two of them.
This gold ingot was not only enough to buy a few new clothes, but it was also enough to buy the clothes he would wear in this life. With this gold ingot, his widowed and foolish son might even be able to get a new wife.
Li Xuanling and Diao Chan, who were like a celestial couple, had undoubtedly become a beautiful sight on the street. Many people could not help but stop to look.
There were men and women among them. The men stared at Diao Chan while the women stared at Li Xuanling. There was something in their eyes that was not something that could be revealed to outsiders.
Of course, there was no lack of upright people. The Eastern Han Dynasty was prosperous, and the way of gentlemen prevailed. Many people were able to suppress the thoughts in their hearts and treat it as a picture of an immortal couple.
"Sir…Why did you draw me…This…This is so embarrassing…" Diao Chan saw that after Li Xuanling had adapted to it, he quickly used sugar to sketch her appearance on the copper plate. Her eyes instantly lit up and her face flushed red.
"Only beautiful things can leave a deep impression on people, right?”Li Xuanling replied casually. With a flick of his fingertips, he conjured a portrait of Diao Chan.
He didn't know how to draw a sugar figurine, but as an Earthly Immortal, he could move his body freely and the pattern in his mind could accurately outline it.
The way she danced, the way she looked around, the way she was shy and graceful, the way she lowered her eyebrows and shed tears…Although each gesture was only outlined with a few strokes of sugar juice, it was vivid.
Li Xuanling's casual answer sounded like the most beautiful words of love to Diao Chan. Even her body couldn't help but go soft.
"Sir…The thing in this painting…" When Diao Chan saw Li Xuanling draw a hibiscus with a few strokes, her face flushed red. She came back to her senses and hurriedly grabbed his arm. When she reacted, she hurriedly bowed."Milord, I was rude. Please forgive me.”
