"Wen Yuan, I didn't disappoint you.”
In a manor outside Luoyang, Cao Cao walked in and immediately handed an exquisite sword to Xun Zhen.
Receiving the green sword from Cao Cao, Xun Zhen pulled it out of its sheath.
A cold light flashed, and the sound of the sword being drawn echoed throughout the courtyard.
"Good sword!"
Holding the Green Scale Sword in his hands and carefully examining it, Xun Zhen immediately discovered the difference between this sword and an ordinary sword.
The blade of the Green Scale Sword was covered with countless cloud patterns that looked like fish scales.
"This sword was forged from an extraterrestrial meteorite that the Marquis Champion obtained at the Wolf Mountain. It is extremely sharp and can cut through iron like mud.
The cloud patterns on it were formed naturally when it was forged. They were shaped like fish scales, so it was called the Green Scale Sword.”
Cao Cao explained on behalf of Xun Zhen.
At this moment, Xun Zhen placed a strand of hair on the blade of the Green Scale Sword and lightly blew at it.
Instantly, the long hair broke into two.
"What a sharp sword.”
After exclaiming, Xun Zhen suddenly sheathed his sword and threw it to Wan 'er, who was standing beside him.
"Wan Er, this sword is for you."
"Young Master, this is too valuable."
"What's so precious about it? It's just a sword. It's not as important as you, Wan 'er.”
Hearing Xun Zhen's words, Wan 'er's face under the veil could not help but turn slightly red. Immediately, she nodded and said,"Yes, Young Master."
Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and think,"
"Heh, Wen Yuan, you're really good to the people around you. You gave away this kind of famous sword just like that.
Oh right, Wen Yuan seemed to be unmarried. Oh, I heard that Cai Zhonglang had a gentle and virtuous daughter who was waiting to be married.
Perhaps, I can speak up for Wen Yuan.
However, would Wen Yuan blame me for being nosy?”
Seeing Cao Cao frowning and shaking his head, Xun Zhen frowned and asked,
"Meng De, what are you thinking about? Frowning and shaking your head?"
"Oh, I see. It's alright, it's alright. Oh right, Wen Yuan, I have a secret to tell you.”
Seeing Cao Cao's serious expression, Xun Zhen knew that what Cao Cao was about to say was not simple.
"Wait a moment, Meng De," he said,"come with me to the study."”
Cao Cao looked at the servants around the manor and nodded,""Alright."
When he arrived at the study, Xun Zhen asked Dian Wei and Wan 'er to guard the door and the study carefully. He then looked at Cao Cao and said,"
"What is it about Meng De? Why were you so serious just now?"
"The emperor wants to get rid of Great General He!"
"When did this happen?"
"Yesterday, after Great General He reported the plan to the emperor according to Wen Yuan, the emperor sent someone to summon Great General He into the palace at night.
However, Great General He was able to escape because his old friend Sima Panyin had told on him in front of the palace gates.”
"Then I wonder if Great General He has done anything since yesterday?”
"Not yet. I've been pretending to be sick at home.
However, when I came over, I saw that his servants were all in a hurry, as if they were secretly contacting some people.”
"Looks like there's going to be a move."
As soon as Xun Zhen finished speaking, Wan 'er knocked on the door.
"Hmm? Wan 'er, what's the matter?"
"Young Master, it's Lord Cao's Deputy General Xiahou Yuanrang who wishes to see Lord Cao. He says he has an urgent matter to attend to.”
Hearing Wan 'er's words, Xun Zhen and Cao Cao could not help but look at each other. Soon after, Xun Zhen said,
"Bring him to the study."
"Yes, Young Master."
Not long after, Xiahou Dun walked in from outside under Wan 'er's lead.
At this moment, Xiahou Dun was sweating profusely, as if he had just ridden over.
When he saw Cao Cao, he immediately went forward and said,"
"Meng De, He Jin's servant just came to the residence to look for you. He said that Great General He wants you to go to his residence immediately.”
"Alright, I understand. Yuan Rang, you can leave first. I'll be there soon.”
After Xiahou Dun left, Cao Cao immediately turned to Xun Zhen and whispered,"
"Wen Yuan, if I and the others take this opportunity to instigate General He to kill the Ten Attendants, what do you think the chances of success are?”
"Yes, but in the end, it might not be as Meng De wishes.”
Hearing this, Xun Zhen could not help but smile.
"Why?"
"Because He Jin is a coward on the inside and is not worth scheming with!”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he clenched his fists and said,
"No matter what, we still have to try.”
After Cao Cao left Xun Zhen's manor, he immediately rode his horse to Luoyang City's General He's Residence.
When he came to the secret room under the recommendation of He Jin's servant, the secret room was already filled with people.
"Meng De has also arrived. In this case, most of Luoyang's soldiers will be in our hands.
Great General, quickly give the order. If you don't take what the heavens give you, you'll be punished instead!”
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. Let me think about it…think about it.”
Just as He Jin was hesitating, another person walked into the secret chamber. It was Jian Shuo's subordinate, Sima Pan Yin.
"Everyone, the emperor has died. Just now, Saishuo discussed with the ten constant attendants and secretly did not announce the funeral. He wanted to fake the imperial edict to summon General He into the palace to prevent future troubles and confer Prince Xie as emperor.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant who had just walked out hurriedly came in and reported,
"Great General, the Imperial Court has issued an edict to summon you into the palace.”
Hearing this, He Jin's face immediately turned ashen and he collapsed on the chair beside him.
Seeing this, Cao Cao coldly snorted. He strode forward and cupped his fists,
"Great General! Now that Luoyang's army is in your hands, what are you afraid of?!
If we don't kill the thief now, when will we?
Men! On behalf of the general wearing armor, select the imperial army, follow us into the inner palace, support the new monarch, kill the traitor!”
