Cao Cao was shocked when he saw the assassin. He dodged backwards and reached behind his waist, but he felt empty air.
It could be seen that he usually carried a sword with him, but for some reason, he did not bring it out today.
Just as one of the assassins was about to stab Cao Cao, Li Suo finally arrived.
It was clearly just a hoe, but he had brandished it like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix.
Li Suo was not full yet, and his strength was weaker than the average person. The only thing he could do was to use his martial arts.
Fortunately, he was holding a long weapon now. As the saying goes, fists are afraid of the young, and rods are afraid of the old. If he was barehanded, Li Suo would really not be able to defeat them.
Li Suo stabbed the hoe forward, and an assassin dodged with his head tilted. However, after Li Suo adjusted the head of the hoe slightly, he pulled it back, and the head of the hoe hit the back of the assassin's head. At that time, the assassin fainted.
There were only three assassins in total. After removing one, the pressure on Li Suo was greatly reduced. In a short while, the remaining two assassins followed in the footsteps of the first assassin.
At this moment, Cao Cao calmed down and looked at Li Suo in surprise,""Since a warrior has such martial arts, why would he faint from hunger in the forest?”
Li Suo thought for a moment. He couldn't tell the truth at this time. After all, the people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were still relatively ignorant. She couldn't accept what he said. What if she burned him to death as a spy?
"I was originally an orphan. Fortunately, my master picked me up and taught me martial arts. I grew up in the mountains. Two days ago, after Master left on his crane, I went down the mountain. However, he did not have the skills to make a living. Master also forbade me from burning, killing, and looting, so I fainted from hunger in the forest.”
Cao Cao was overjoyed. After all, according to the modern game, this was a general in the wild. Moreover, it seemed that he had high morals. This was especially important in the current era. As the saying went, virtuous people should be respected. A person who was both virtuous and skilled would be popular in this era.
"Then, warrior, are you willing to come with me? Although my official position isn't high, it's still very easy for me to support a person.”
Li Suo said: Of course I want to, I dare not refuse.
Cao Cao was delighted to hear this."You still don't know the name of the warrior?" he asked.”
Li Suo: My name is Li Suo. As for my name, Master didn't give it to me.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said,""Since that's the case, then you'll be called Xuanzhang.”
Li Suo said,"I dare not refuse the gift from my lord."
Cao Cao laughed after hearing this. Good! Good! In that case, Xuanzhang, follow me."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he pulled Li Suo's hand and came to a military tent.
He took out a knife from a knife rack at the side. It was about four feet long and had a wide blade. When Li Suo saw it, he could not help but pull out a strand of hair and put it on the blade. He blew on it and directly broke it into two pieces, slowly falling down.
Cao Cao laughed and said,""How is it, Xuan Zhang? I've taken good care of your saber, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao heard a rumbling sound coming from Li Suo's stomach.
It turned out that after Cao Cao saved Li Suo, he had fed him some food, but it was only enough for his body to use up. He had just fought three assassins today, so the energy was being consumed very quickly.
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed out loud and said," Haha, my fault, my fault. I actually forgot that Xuan Zhang had just recovered and had not eaten yet. Today, it's my treat. Xuan Zhang, don't stand on ceremony."”
On the road. Li Suo finally understood what time it was. It was the second year of Chuping, 191 AD, which was the year Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo.
After returning home, Cao Cao regretted his words because Li Suo had shown him what a good-for-nothing was.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Cao Cao forced a smile and said to Li Suo,"Xuan Zhang, there are still a few guest rooms in the residence. I'll get someone to lead you there.”
Li Suo, who was eating so much at the house of someone he met for the first time, was also a little shy. He took the opportunity to leave.
Li Suo was unaware of the situation. Cao Cao muttered to himself,""Can't the officials give a way out?。”
After thinking for a while, Cao Cao stood up. He walked out of the mansion and walked towards a road. At the end of that road was the Imperial Residence.
Before leaving Cao Cao's residence, Cao Cao instructed an old acquaintance who had watched him grow up,""If I'm not back by 11:00, then send Xuanzhang to Dong Zhuo's residence to save me.”
When they arrived at the Prince's mansion, the servants at the gate did not dare to stop Cao Cao. It was not only because Cao Cao was now a popular person in front of Dong Zhuo, but also because Cao Cao had used a five-colored bat when he was young. He had killed Jian Shuo's uncle.
Cao Cao, who had just entered the mansion, saw Wang Yun covering his face and crying.
Many of the officials were even more shocked when they saw Cao Cao. Some of them even wanted to pull out their swords and kill Cao Cao.
Cao Cao laughed coldly in his heart, Still pretending?”But he couldn't say this out loud.
Cao Cao said,"I have long wanted to kill Dong Zhuo. Recently, I have been flattering him in order to gain his trust and find an opportunity to assassinate him." I heard that Situ has a seven-star treasured saber. Please lend it to me and kill him!”Wang Yun was overjoyed and personally poured him a glass of wine.
Then, he returned to the back of the manor and took out the Seven Star Treasure Saber. After handing it to Cao Cao, he held Cao Cao's hand and said,"Meng De, take care."
Other than Cao Cao, who was behind the Prince's mansion, he also arrived in front of the Dong Residence. Cao Cao's heart was filled with complicated emotions, and he had even thought of turning around and running away more than once.
Dong Zhuo's servant knew Cao Cao.""Yo, isn't this Lord Cao? The Prime Minister had said that if Lord Cao came, he could enter without any notice. Lord Cao, please.”
Cao Cao stopped in front of Dong Zhuo's room. The struggle in his heart intensified because he knew that this was a business that would destroy his family. If he failed, his entire family might be exterminated.
Dong Zhuo, who was in the room, heard footsteps outside the door. His years of military life made him alert."Who is it?"
At the same time, she touched the sword hanging in the room.
"The Prime Minister is Cao Cao."
Hearing Dong Zhuo's question, Cao Cao quickly said.
"Oh, it's Meng De. Please come in.”Dong Zhuo put down his sword and shouted at Cao Cao.
"Cao, I heard that the Prime Minister is sick and came to visit.”
Cao Cao stood in front of Dong Zhuo's bed with the seven-star sword given by Wang Yun.
Dong Zhuo was ill the day before and could not get up. He asked Lu Bu to bring a good horse to Cao Cao to thank him.
Seeing that Lu Bu was leading the horse and Dong Zhuo was facing the inner room, Cao Cao knew that this was his only chance to assassinate Dong Zhuo. He picked up the Seven Stars Saber and prepared to assassinate him. Dong Zhuo did not expect to see a mirror in front of him. He saw Cao Cao holding the Seven Stars Treasure Saber in the mirror and asked loudly,"What are you doing?"
At this moment, Cao Cao heard a noise outside the room. It was Dong Zhuo's most elite guards, the armored soldiers. Now that Dong Zhuo had discovered the assassination attempt, even if he fought to the death, he might not be able to succeed. Thus, Cao Cao did not retreat but instead advanced,"This saber is something I want to present to Lord Dong.”
Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao's fearless face in the mirror. The blade in his hand was inlaid with seven precious stones. The blade was refined and refined. He knew that it was indeed a treasure. He stood up to take the blade.
Seeing Dong Zhuo come to take the saber, Cao Cao thought that as long as Dong Zhuo accepted the saber, he could leave with an excuse that he had something to do. Even if the assassination failed, he could still keep his life.
However, Li Ru, who was waiting outside, walked into the room and was shocked when he saw the Seven Stars Treasure Saber in Cao Cao's hand.
He had seen this saber in Wang Yun's residence before, so he could not be mistaken. Everyone knew that Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo were fighting for power. Now that the Seven Stars Saber was in Cao Cao's hands, although it was a treasure, the assassination was probably the real deal.
Without waiting for Dong Zhuo's order, Li Ru had already gathered dozens of armored warriors to surround the house.
