"Minister Yan, what did you say?”
"How did the Cao army break through? Why didn't the soldiers guarding the city give any warning?”
Qiao Rui asked hoarsely, her eyes full of shock.
Yan Xiang said in a deep voice," I don't know what the Cao army did, but a hundred people suddenly came out of the city and took the city gate, allowing the Cao army to enter!"”
Qiao Rui was stunned, her face full of disbelief.
"Impossible!"
Yuan Shu woke up and jumped up, shouting,"The Cao army doesn't have wings. How can they enter Shouchun? Impossible!”
"I don't understand why either!"
Yan Xiang let out a bitter sigh and said,"But the Cao army still charged in. Your Majesty, Shouchun has fallen."”
Yuan Shu sat down once again. He was in a daze as he muttered to himself,"Why? How did Cao Aman do it? Why?"
Suddenly.
" What?" Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and said in a trembling voice," Could it be that this is the trick of the schemer behind Cao Aman?" Could it be that there was really such an intelligent person in this world?”
Yan Xiang suddenly came to a realization, a look of horror flashing across his face.
The two of them fell into a panic.
"Yuan Shu, your fate is finally over. You are fatuous and lecherous. You deserve to die."
Qiao Rui's thoughts flew, and a cold light gradually flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly.
He stepped forward and cupped his hands." No matter how Cao Cao broke through the city, Shouchun has already fallen. Your Majesty, please let me make preparations so that I can escort Your Majesty out of the siege."”
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get ready!" Yuan Shu shouted.”
"Yes!"
Qiao Rui left in a hurry without looking back.
Yuan Shu sat down and drank a few mouthfuls of wine to calm his mind.
The sounds of killing outside the palace were getting closer and closer, indicating that the Cao army was approaching the palace, but Qiao Rui was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Qiao Rui? Why isn't she here to protect me?”
Yuan Shu was getting impatient and roared.
At this moment, the Royal Guards entered the hall in a panic and shouted,""Reporting to Your Majesty, General Qiao forcefully took away the Imperial Jade Seal and left the palace alone!”
"What?"
" What is Qiao Rui doing?" Yuan Shu jumped up and shouted." What is she doing with my imperial seal?"”
"Your Majesty!"
Yan Xiang suddenly sobered up and sighed bitterly." Qiao Rui saw that the situation was not good. She betrayed His Majesty, stole the Imperial Jade Seal, and fled alone!"”
Boom!
Yuan Shu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank and he sat down.
He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
After that, Yuan Shu cursed in grief and indignation,"" Qiao Rui, you disloyal traitor, even you dare to betray me-"
Looking at Yuan Shu who was almost crazy, Yan Xiang could only look up at the sky and sigh.
Just as Yuan Shu was about to go berserk, Cao Cao's army had already charged into the Imperial Palace.
"Crack!"
With a loud bang, the door was knocked open.
Le Jin, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan, and the other Cao camp generals led thousands of Cao soldiers into the city.
Cao Cao rode on Vanishing Shadow and stepped into the hall with a sword in his hand.
"Cao…Cao Aman!"
Yuan Shu's face twisted as he spat out these words through his teeth.
Cao Cao pointed his horsewhip at him and snapped,""Yuan Shu, you have overstepped your authority and proclaimed yourself emperor. You are unpardonable. I have been ordered to punish you. Today, I will kill you!”
Yuan Shu was filled with hatred and shame. He sat stiffly on the Dragon Throne and did not say a word.
"Men, drag this traitor down and behead him on the spot!”
Cao Cao didn't bother to speak and gave the order to kill.
The Tiger Guards on the left and right rushed forward and dragged Yuan Shu away from the Dragon Throne. They took off his dragon robe and dragged him out of the hall.
"Cao Aman, you are the descendant of an eunuch. You are not worthy of killing me!”
" Cao thief, Yuan Shao will unify Hebei in the future. Sooner or later, he will go south to destroy you. I will wait for you in the underworld..."
The sound of Xie Si's hysterical voice gradually faded away.
Cao Cao's gaze fell on Yan Xiang and he said coldly,""Yan Xiang, you can be considered a talent, but unfortunately, you're with the wrong traitor, Yuan Shu. I can only send you on your way!”
The tiger soldiers around him rushed up.
"Lord Cao!"
Yan Xiang's expression was sorrowful. He cupped his hands and said," I know that I will die for sure. I only hope that before I die, Lord Cao, you can let me die with an explanation."”
Cao Cao nodded.
"I don't understand how Cao Gong's men managed to sneak into Shouchun."”
"It's very simple. I dug a tunnel that leads to Shouchun."”
"Tunnel?"
Yan Xiang's eyes were filled with suspicion, but he asked doubtfully,"" We've clearly planted more than a hundred vats around Ring City to monitor the situation. Why didn't we notice anything?”
Cao Cao laughed coldly,"I'll beat the drums and gongs for you every two hours. It would be strange if you could notice."”
Yan Xiang's body shook and he was suddenly awakened, falling into a state of shock.
After a long time.
"I didn't expect that Cao Gong would dig a tunnel without anyone noticing.”
Yan Xiang's face was full of admiration, but he asked again,"However, such a wondrous plan is probably not something that Cao Gong's strategists can come up with. Could it be that the rumored hermit Gui Mou really exists?”
Cao Cao sneered and did not answer. He only raised his whip.
The Tiger Warriors on his left and right stepped forward and escorted Yan Xiang out.
"Cao Mengde, you are blessed by the heavens to be assisted by such an extraordinary person. You are destined to take over this world…"
Before he was escorted out, Yan Xiang let out a sorrowful laugh.
Cao Cao waved his sleeves and turned around." Bring Yuan Shu's head to the capital and present it to the Emperor. Tell the world that the traitor Yuan Shu has surrendered!"”
"Yes!"
The Cao Camp generals shouted in unison.
…
North of Xiacai City, Su's house.
The sound of crashing echoed in the courtyard.
Diao Chan, Cao Jie, and Zhou Tai sat around the table.
They stared at each other as they watched Su Yi fold the small cubes with words into four walls.
"What I'm going to teach you today is called mahjong.”
Su Yi played with the die in his hand and said.
"Mahjong?"
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.
"That's right, it's called mahjong."
Su Yi nodded and said seriously,"Don't underestimate mahjong. The knowledge involved is not inferior to that of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. You have to listen carefully to my explanation.”
In the following period of time, Su Yi was in high spirits and patiently taught them how to play mahjong.
The rules were not complicated. The three of them learned it right away and could start fighting very quickly.
"Liu Tong, it's over!"
Cao Jie shouted and pushed his cards backward.
Su Yi's eyes lit up. He looked at her cards carefully. She had indeed won, and she had drawn herself.
"Madam, you're amazing. It seems that you're quite talented in mahjong.”
Su Yi raised his thumb and praised.
"Thank you for your praise, husband. Then let's hurry up and come again!”
Cao Jie was even addicted to shuffling the cards.
At this moment.
The door of the manor opened. Xu Chu returned with the people who had gone out to purchase goods. He even brought back an additional carriage.
Arrows were nailed all over the outside of the carriage. Clearly, it had been attacked by archers.
"Zhongkang, what's going on?"
Su Yi could tell that something was wrong.
Xu Chu cupped his hands and said," Young Master, I came back from my shopping trip and encountered this carriage on the way. It seemed to have been attacked by bandits. There was a woman lying inside. She was injured and unconscious, so I had no choice but to bring her back."”
An injured woman?
Su Yi's gaze was strange. He jumped onto the carriage and opened the curtain.
There was indeed a young girl lying inside.
The young girl's back had been hit by an arrow, and half of her body was covered in blood. She was already on the verge of death.
