Finally, Cao Cao made his decision.
Although this might be a trap, he still chose to jump into it regardless of his life.
This opportunity was too rare and too tempting!
For this opportunity, he was willing to take this risk and bet that this was not a trap!
He slowly walked over. The surroundings were silent, and every step he took was particularly ear-piercing.
Luckily, Dong Zhuo was still snoring and didn't wake up.
As they got closer, Cao Cao held his breath, his heart thumping in his chest.
He held the Seven Star Treasure Saber with one hand and slowly pulled it out. The scabbard and the saber made a soft sound.
After today, Dong Zhuo would no longer exist in the world, and the Great Han would be saved!
His hand trembled slightly as he aimed at Dong Zhuo's back.
Just as he was about to stab it, he suddenly saw a flash of light on the wall.
It was the shadow of the Seven Stars Treasure Saber reflected on the wall.
Cao Cao had a bad feeling. There was no time to lose. He had to strike first!
He held the knife in both hands and was about to stab it fiercely.
"Who is it?"
Dong Zhuo suddenly woke up and shouted.
Cao Cao was startled. Dong Zhuo suddenly woke up after he had pulled out the saber. He wondered if he should stab him or not!
Ta!
Unfortunately, heavy footsteps could be heard from outside the door.
Cao Cao knew that something was wrong, but he did not panic.
He immediately knelt down on one knee, holding the Seven Star Treasure Saber in his hand.
"Commanding Officer Cao Cao recently obtained a treasured saber, and he is offering it to the Prime Minister.”
Dong Zhuo, who had just woken up, also hurriedly sat up. When he saw that it was Cao Cao, he heaved a sigh of relief and caught the treasured saber.
"So it's Meng De."
He looked at the knife in his hand. He had doubts in his heart, but he did not show them on his face.
"Meng De is so thoughtful. Please get up.”
Cao Cao stood up.
At this moment, the person who walked to the door said in a clear voice,"Greetings, foster father!"
"Fengxian, come in quickly."
Dong Zhuo said.
A majestic figure walked straight in.
It was Dong Zhuo's adopted son, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian!
"Fengxian, what's the matter?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"I met Lord Li just now. Lord Li ordered me to come and protect him.”Lu Bu glanced at Cao Cao.
"Fengxian is very thoughtful."
Dong Zhuo smiled." But since Meng De is here, what's there to be afraid of?”
Lu Bu's expression was cold as he remained silent.
Cao Cao cupped his fists and said,"I will protect the Prime Minister!"”
"Good, good, good!"
Dong Zhuo smiled and nodded." Fengxian, what do you think of this treasured saber that Meng De gave me?”
Lu Bu held the Seven Stars Treasure Saber and examined it carefully. He then said coldly,""Good saber!"
"Hahahaha!"
Dong Zhuo laughed." I like it too. Meng De is really thoughtful this time!"”
He patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said,""Why is Meng De late this time? I waited until I fell asleep.”
"It was only because the mount was old that it delayed the Prime Minister's matter.”
Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief. This matter had finally been temporarily put off.
"Old mount?"
Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu." Fengxian, go pick a good horse from Liangzhou and give it to Meng De."”
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Bu cupped his fists.
Dong Zhuo then looked at Cao Cao." How can a general not have a good horse?”
Cao Cao clasped his hands and bowed.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for gifting me a horse."
Dong Zhuo waved his hand." It's nothing. As long as Meng De works for me with peace of mind, I'll be rich in the future.”
"Thank you, Lord Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao bowed again.
"Yes."
Dong Zhuo responded and waved his hand.
"You may leave. Meng De and Feng Xian will go and choose the horses. I want to rest.”
He then said to Cao Cao,"Come back in four hours. This time, you have a good horse. Don't be late again!"”
"All of you can leave!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Bu and Cao Cao clasped their fists and slowly retreated.
After the two of them had walked far away, Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up and walked to the door. He said to a servant,"Quickly go and invite Lord Li Ru over!”
"Yes, sir!"
The servant raised his hand and left quickly.
Not long after, a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing a green robe and a mustache walked over. He raised his hand and bowed."My lord!"
"Wenyou, come over quickly."
Dong Zhuo waved at Li Ru.
"My lord, what's the matter?" Li Ru walked over quickly and asked.
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes." I was resting just now, but Cao Cao took a saber and stood behind me. When I turned around, he said he was here to offer a saber.”
"The more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong!”
Li Ru frowned slightly and quickly asked,"Where is Cao Cao now?"”
"He said that the mount was old, so I asked Feng Xian to go with him to choose a mount.”
Dong Zhuo answered.
"Not good!"
Li Ru sighed." There must be something fishy about this!”
"Since ancient times, there has been a ceremony of offering a saber behind one's back?”
"I also saw that this matter was unusual, so I sent someone to invite Wenyou to discuss it.”
Dong Zhuo's face darkened." I just didn't expect him to treat me like this!"”
"My Lord, don't rush to make such a conclusion!"
Li Ru narrowed his eyes." Let me test him first."”
"What plan does Wenyou have?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"My lord, you should quickly summon Cao Cao. If he's willing to come, he might be offering his saber.”
"If you don't want to come, or if you run away, then it's undoubtedly an assassination.”
Li Ru sneered." But…where can he run to? Luoyang City is now our world!"”
Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly." Yes, good plan!”
"Men!"
He shouted at the door.
|"Yes!"
A servant walked in and raised his hand.
"Immediately go to the horse farm and find General Cao Cao.”
"Yes, sir!"
The servant raised his hand and bowed before hurriedly leaving.
Not long after, the servant returned with Lu Bu.
"Fengxian, where is Cao Mengde now?”
Dong Zhuo asked.
"I took Cao Mengde to look for a horse. As soon as we went out, Cao Mengde said that he had a stomachache and said that he would come back another day to look for a horse.”
"He should have returned to the residence now.”
Lu Bu cupped his fists.
"Immediately go to the residence to find him!"
Dong Zhuo said to the servant.
The servant hurriedly left.
However, Li Ru frowned slightly." We can't find him. Cao Cao doesn't have any family in Luoyang. I'm afraid he has already hidden himself."”
"Find him!"
"I trusted him so much, yet he tried to assassinate me." Dong Zhuo slammed the table and rebuked angrily.”
Lu Bu frowned slightly." Father, did something big happen?"”
"That Cao Cao came to assassinate me in the name of offering a saber!”
Dong Zhuo said fiercely.
"Assassination?"
Lu Bu pondered for a moment." Now that I think about it, I did see Cao Cao trying to assassinate him from afar!”
Dong Zhuo's eyes widened in anger." Cao Cao, I swear I'm not human if I don't kill you!"”
"Immediately order Cao Cao's portrait to be pasted everywhere and put up a reward for his capture!”
