When they got closer, Cao Cao cupped his hands at Lu Bu." General."”
Lu Bu casually raised his hand, his expression cold.
"General, where are you going instead of protecting the Prime Minister?”
Cao Cao was curious. Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo had always been inseparable. Why did Lu Bu leave without permission today?
Lu Bu frowned slightly, clearly impatient. He said coldly,""Godfather has always had the habit of taking an afternoon nap.”
"I often take advantage of this time to rest.”
"General, you've worked hard." Cao Cao said.
Lu Bu didn't say anything. He waved his hand and left.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu, who was walking away.
Although Lu Bu was arrogant and taciturn, he basically never made friends with others and ignored him when he met him.
However, in his heart, he actually had a good impression of Dong Zhuo's adopted son.
Putting aside Lu Bu's martial arts skills, his strict military management ability was amazing.
Especially the Bing Province Cavalry under him, they were the cream of the crop.
Even the Flying Bear Army, the most elite of Dong Zhuo's 100,000 Western Liang cavalrymen, was not inferior.
Dong Zhuo had also discovered Lu Bu's talent after he had obtained him.
Lu Bu's severely underestimated military ability.
Among the three great cavalrymen, Gongsun Zan's " White Horse Righteous Follower " was the best in terms of the quality of the horse and overall combat strength.
Lu Bu's Bingzhou Cavalry had the best martial arts skills.
On the other hand, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry dominated in terms of numbers.
In terms of actual combat ability, Dong Zhuo's Western Liang cavalry was undoubtedly the strongest among the three.
In the face of absolute numbers, what was the use of individual combat ability?
However, in a situation where they had the same number of people, Dong Zhuo's Western Liang cavalry was actually the weakest.
Even the most elite "Flying Bear Army" was inferior to the two above.
But now, with Lu Bu's arrival, everything would change.
When the cavalry with the largest number of people had a commander with the highest martial arts skills.
At the same time, this person also had the ability to govern the army.
The future of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was worth imagining.
In Cao Cao's eyes, Lu Bu was definitely a rare talent.
Just as he was thinking about Lu Bu, he had already made a few detours and finally arrived at Dong Zhuo's courtyard.
Cao Cao stood on his tiptoes and looked inside.
A Confucian in green walked out.
He recognized him. He was Dong Zhuo's chief strategist, Li Ru.
Cao Cao cupped his fists at Li Ru.
Under Dong Zhuo, Li Ru had an extraordinary status.
Even Lu Bu couldn't compare.
Dong Zhuo treated him as a true confidant, and almost everything he did was left to his own devices.
Although Li Ru was born in a poor family, he was also a rare talent.
Through these few days of contact, the talent he had displayed had amazed Cao Cao.
He did not dare to underestimate them.
Li Ru also smiled faintly and cupped his hands at Cao Cao. Then, he pointed in the direction of the house, indicating for Cao Cao to enter quickly. Dong Zhuo was waiting for him.
Cao Cao nodded and walked in.
"Commanding Officer Cao Cao greets the Prime Minister.”
He cupped his fists and bowed.
However, after waiting for a moment, no one responded.
"Commanding Officer Cao Cao greets the Prime Minister!”
He raised his voice and shouted again.
"Who is it?"
A head peeked out from a corner through the window.
They were the servants of Dong Zhuo's residence.
After seeing that it was Cao Cao, he heaved a sigh of relief and immediately walked out, raising his hand to greet him."So it's you."
Cao Cao had been going in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion these days, so Dong Zhuo's servants were familiar with him.
"Where is the Prime Minister?"
Cao Cao asked.
"The Prime Minister said that if you come, you should go in and find him yourself. He is in the hall where you often discuss matters with him," the servant said respectfully.”
"Oh." Cao Cao nodded and asked,"Why is it so quiet in this courtyard today? Where are the servants?"”
The servant replied," This is the prime minister's resting time. The prime minister likes peace and quiet, so this is usually our resting time."”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed." Then you should continue to rest. I will go and find him myself."”
After saying that, he strode inside.
Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister's estate was already incomparably luxurious, and the courtyard within the estate was even more ingeniously designed, exquisitely refined and elegant.
There was a front courtyard in front of the door, and the front courtyard was connected to a front hall. There was also a small garden between the front hall and the main martial arts hall.
After passing through the garden and another door, they arrived at Dong Zhuo's room.
If it was someone else walking here, it would probably take some effort to find Dong Zhuo.
However, Cao Cao had been going in and out of this place for the past few days. In addition, Cao Cao had an outstanding memory, so he was already familiar with the roads here.
Soon, they arrived at Dong Zhuo's room.
The door was open, and one could faintly see Dong Zhuo's burly body lying on the side of the couch. There was also a very obvious snoring sound.
"Is he…asleep?"
Cao Cao's mind moved.
At this moment, Lu Bu and Li Ru were not by Dong Zhuo's side.
The entire courtyard was silent. The servants had already gone to rest.
Dong Zhuo was sleeping five or six meters away from him.
Was this a godsend opportunity?
Cao Cao reached his hand to his waist and grabbed the lethal weapon!
"No!"
Cao Cao was alarmed. This was too much of a coincidence.
Lu Bu wasn't around, and Li Ru had left. The entire courtyard was empty except for Dong Zhuo, who was sleeping!
How could there be such a coincidence?
He narrowed his eyes." Could it be that…this is a trap set by that old bastard Dong Zhuo to test me?”
"Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I happened to meet Lu Bu and Li Ru when they went out?”
"Isn't this clearly telling me that there's no one around him?”
"There must be a trap!"
Cao Cao had always been suspicious. As he thought about it, he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. He loosened his grip on the hilt of his saber.
"But…what if this is true?”
This was definitely a good opportunity for an assassination.
There was no one around Dong Zhuo. He was still sleeping.
With just a light slash, he could end his life without anyone noticing and save the burly man from danger.
After the matter was settled, it would not be difficult for him to escape. The servants in the residence and Dong Zhuo's people were all familiar with him, so no one would stop him if he wanted to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the Prime Minister's estate, according to the agreement, the men arranged by General Jiang Chen would immediately take him out of the city.
At that time, not only would Dong Zhuo die, but the burly man would also be saved.
When the emperor took control and everything settled down, he could come back as the minister who protected the dragon!
Cao Cao furrowed his brows, feeling extremely conflicted.
He was wavering between whether this was a trap or not.
