If he hadn't come, he could have gone to find Ah Bei with his doubts, but now…
After solving some doubts, if he didn't want to leave because of this and just stayed in Cao camp as a Marquis, his life would be worth it.
At this moment, Guan Yu was gloomy and silent, as if he didn't want to say anything.
"Chief Yun."
" Heh," Guan Yu shook his head with a bitter smile. He picked up the wine and drank a big bowl.
"Cao Mengde was benevolent and loved the people in Xu Prefecture. He had never slaughtered or oppressed the people. The people spread the news. When we arrived in Xu Prefecture, many people even wrote a letter asking Cao Cao to come back and be the Prefecture Overseer to implement Cao Cao's original regime.”
"Now that I think about it, we're the thieves, and I'm the thief.”
Throughout his entire life, he pursued self-restraint. Although he looked down on the heroes, he had never done anything petty. Now that he knew the truth, he did it.
"Now, where do you plan to go?"
Guan Yu asked," Should we go north or south? Or should we live in seclusion and wait for the chaotic times to pass?”
"I have nowhere to go. I don't know where Ah Bei is either. It's so difficult to go north from Xudu. I'll just live in seclusion here for the time being.”
"But Chief Yun, what you asked me today, will it shake your heart to follow the lord?”
Guan Yu shook his head with a bitter smile." I owe you so much. I still need to repay you slowly.”
"If I can't repay this favor, I won't be able to leave.”
"Sigh, since that's the case, I'll stay here with you first. After the war between the north and south, I'll consider where to go.”
"Alright."
Guan Yu knocked on the table and the servant girl who was waiting outside immediately came in. She then brought Jian Yong to find a house to live in. There were more than a hundred houses in this mansion, enough for people to live in.
But tonight, Guan Yu was even more unable to sleep.
Xu Zhen was the bravest general in the world.
Back then, he was ranked last on the Advisor Board.
On the other hand, Liu Bei was a benevolent person, but that was only on the surface. In times of danger, he was also an ambitious figure. In the past, Guan Yu would never think like this.
However, after arriving at Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao invited many celebrities to his banquet.
Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, Cheng Yu, and even Zhong Yao of the older generation had told him before they left for the pass that once Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, the north would be unified.
In recent years, the people's food and clothing expenses were a hundred times more than during the war.
Living and working in peace and contentment was truly a way to live in peace and contentment. In this way, the prosperity of the past was restored, and it was even more prosperous than the Xiping years.
There were no more starving people.
At this moment, Guan Yu's heart was filled with righteousness, but he was also thinking about a problem.
Why did he still want to fight?
Because Cao Cao was a traitor, but the so-called imperial edict was fake.
Tian Zi didn't have such intentions. He was only twelve years old.
Thinking of this, Guan Yu's heart was in a mess.
Surrender to the Han Dynasty, not to the Cao Dynasty.
Why should I go again?
As for Big Brother…
For some reason, Guan Yu actually smiled bitterly.
"I, this Guan, actually don't want to know about big brother's whereabouts anymore?”
……
Late at night, Guan Yu was in a dilemma.
Within the Imperial City, the guards began to change.
Jingdou's garrison, Sima Fang, had removed the soldiers outside and replaced them with a new wave of soldiers. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, but in the inner city, Cao Cao's soldiers were still there and could not be shaken.
In the Imperial City, the five hundred guards still did not know what had happened.
At the same time, the city gates opened, and a group of people rushed into the city from outside the city, scattering in all directions.
At this moment.
A painful cry came from the Prime Minister's residence!
"It hurts!"
"It hurts!"
"Annoying, it's happening again! Summon the imperial physician!"
As Cao Cao shouted, his son Cao Ang immediately ran out of the inner hall and down the stairs in a panic. At the same time, he shouted," Go and get Imperial Physician Ji Ping!”
"Hurry up! Quickly go and invite Imperial Physician Ji Ping!"
"Prime Minister, you have a headache. Immediately, immediately go and call Imperial Physician Ji Ping!!”
Cao Ang's face was filled with shock and panic. His crown was already crooked. At this moment, he grabbed a soldier and patted his shoulder armor." Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up and go!"
"Run!"
"Here!"
……
Not long after, Ji Ping was invited over from the inner city. He brought along the first aid box and continued forward. After that, he entered the inner courtyard. He walked past the courtyard, crossed the wooden bridge, and entered.
Then, he saw Cao Cao lying on the bed in pain.
At this moment, Cao Cao's head was covered with a towel and his body was covered with a blanket. His face was pale.
Ji Ping immediately went to take his pulse, and his heartbeat gradually became faster.
This, this was the best time.
Now was the time to wipe out the country!
He had just said that he wanted to repay his debt in the middle of the night, and now the opportunity had come?!
This was truly a heaven-sent opportunity. The heavens had sent you to hell!
After I take your head and bring it out of the Prime Minister's residence, I'll go to the Imperial City and succeed!
Ma Teng has already sent his men of sacrifice into the city. With this, we can definitely change the world, rescue the emperor, and rebuild the glory of Great Han!
Clang.
Ding ding dang dang…
After Ji Ping checked his pulse, he began to slowly brew the medicine.
At the same time, he looked for an opportunity to secretly put the poison into the soup when no one was looking.
At this moment, once Cao Cao drank the medicinal soup and fell asleep, everything would flow naturally.
This thief could be eliminated! From then on, the Great Han Dynasty would welcome Yuan Shao into Xudu and move the capital back to Luoyang. Then, the chaos that lasted for more than ten years would end.
" From now on, the Darkhan Dynasty will return to the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the commoners will be able to follow the prescribed order and have a full meal and sleep. Even if I, Ji Ping, die, it will be worth it.
But at this moment, Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Ji Ping, how many years have you been practicing medicine?”
Ji Ping's body suddenly trembled, and his expression changed a few times. Fortunately, there were no guards in front of him, so they could not see the change in his expression.
"Twenty-three years."
Ji Ping tried his best to keep his voice steady as he replied slowly.
" Hmm…It's been more than twenty years. You should have saved many people's lives," Cao Cao sighed."Why? As a doctor, not only do you want to save people, but you also want to kill people? This will ruin your reputation."
"It's such a pity that my illustrious reputation is gone just like that.”
"This…"
Ji Ping sprinkled some medicinal soup on the ground. He instantly panicked, but he forced himself to calm down. Cao Cao killed people in his dreams. If he wanted to scare people, no one in this world would kill people in their dreams.
Perhaps this was a hint from Cao Cao.
"I don't understand. When have I ever killed anyone?”
"Oh?"
Cao Cao sat up and covered himself with a blanket. Then, two guards came in from outside and lit a brazier for him. The hall gradually became warmer.
Behind the guards, Xi Zhicai and Cao Ang also entered.
Xi Zhicai stood straight and expressionless as if he was looking at a dead man. His beard was even fluttering slightly due to his heavy breathing.
As for Cao Ang, he bowed and waited. He had always been like this in front of Cao Cao since he was young. He was humble and would never go beyond the rules.
Ji Ping instantly lost his confidence. Had he been exposed?
That's impossible. Why would I be exposed?
It had only been six hours since they left Dong Cheng's mansion. Moreover, everyone had signed the alliance agreement. How could they have been exposed?
" Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please take the medicine first." Ji Ping happily carried the medicine over, trying to be as steady as possible. His footsteps were still hurried, thinking that he had not given himself away.
At this moment, Cao Cao looked at him with a faint smile and said,""Since ancient times, when the sovereign medicine is tested, will you help me drink first?”
"This…"
Ji Ping was instantly shocked. This, this meant that he really knew? Could it be that he was not sick just now? Was he still pretending?
" Aiya…" Cao Cao let out a long sigh and slowly stood up. Cao Ang quickly went over to help him up.
"In the past, Cao Mengde tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo. He wanted to achieve eternal fame and leave his name behind.”
"Today, there is also you, Ji Ping, who gave him a taste of his own medicine. Assassinating Cao Cao and returning the Great Han Dynasty to its former glory? Hahaha! Good words."
"This, you!" Ji Ping turned pale with fright. He actually knew these words clearly.
Clang.
Crash…
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards behind Xi Zhicai threw down more than ten small wooden signs. The figures of their gatherings were drawn on the wooden signs, and there were even numbers of people and how many times they had gathered.
He knew what he said in secret.
Although it wasn't detailed, it could already tell who was doing what.
"Do you know where the manpower of the school affairs office comes from?”
"It comes from the Snowy Dragon Cavalry, Scouting Camp. Drawing is their forte.”
"I selected 500 people to enter the school affairs office and gave them brocade clothes. They were all people with strong martial arts skills and were Xu Zhen's men.”
"Who is Xu Zhen? You are the savior of my Cao family and now, you have also saved my life. Ji Ping, you have rebelled against your superiors and plotted against the emperor. You should be executed!”
" You…you…" It was him again, it was him again!
It was that young man again.
Where did this person come from? Where did he come from?
"Tell me, how many of your accomplices are there?”
"Who are they?"
Cao Cao asked coldly, even though he knew that this old man wouldn't say it.
"Hehe, hehehe…Thief Cao!”Ji Ping suddenly changed his benevolent look and glared at Cao Cao.
"You are the leader of the traitors in the world. You should be the one who usurped the Han Dynasty!”
"I won't tell you who instigated me until I die.”
" As for accomplices, hehehe…" Ji Ping immediately said,""Lieutenant Huang Kui, Minister of Justice Zhong Yao, Cheng Yu, former General Xu Zhen.”
Cao Cao's eyes widened.
"Huang Kui is old friends with my son Cao Ang.”
"Zhong Yao is an old official of the Han Dynasty. He is currently guarding the border for me.”
"Cheng Yu is my trusted subordinate and is accompanying me.”
" Xu Zhen." Cao Cao leaned closer and smiled. His smile was full of disdain." He's my son-in-law."”
"This…you, you…so what if you're the son-in-law of a dragon!! So what?"
"Let me tell you another thing. Xu Zhen had long expected that you would rebel against your superiors.”
"If it were anyone else, I would still be skeptical. Xu Zhen, it's absolutely impossible. Do you believe that everyone in the Imperial City will be wiped out by him tonight?”
" Ahhhhh!!!"
Ji Ping couldn't listen anymore. It turned out that he had been secretly plotting for a long time, but Xu Zhen had seen through it. This person was far-sighted and knew the enemy first.
He was far more terrifying than Cao Mengde!
And he was still so young, only in his twenties.
It was hateful and lamentable. In the future, the Great Han would definitely fall into the hands of others!
What should he do…
As he shouted, he crashed into a corner of the bed. Blood gushed out as he died.
Countless guards poured in from outside the door and were all extremely shocked.
Only Cao Cao laughed coldly. He looked around and pointed at Ji Ping's corpse."Alas, coward!"
"These are cowards. Even if they die, they don't dare to watch. Pass down my order, invite Dong Cheng to the main hall of the Imperial Palace. I want to see how they rebel.”
"Here!"
……
That night, Guan Yu was alarmed by some movements and sent out a small school to take a look.
He was rarely in the city and was usually in the military camp.
Today in the city, he felt that something was wrong.
In the dark night, the city was filled with shadows.
This was the inner city.
Thus, he immediately knew that someone had infiltrated the Imperial City.
Jian Yong quickly ran over from the backyard and said helplessly,""Tonight is not peaceful."
"Yes, you sleep first. I'll go to the Prime Minister's residence. The opportunity to return the favor has come.”
Guan Yu was extremely excited. He knew that if he could save Cao Cao's life, it would be of great benefit to him in the future.
"Be careful."
"Yes."
Guan Yu had lost his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, but now he had a long sword. He walked out of the door with the sword in hand, stroking his long beard as he walked, disappearing into the night.
……
In the third watch.
In an instant, countless people began to light fires. Someone pushed open the gates of the Imperial City from the inside.
Shouts of killing shook the sky.
At this moment, Cao Cao was already seated in the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
Waiting for dawn.
Liu Xie was right behind him, moving the dragon chair out. Other than Liu Xie, there was also a young girl who was still young. She was Liu Xie's childhood sweetheart.
Dong Cheng's daughter, Dong E.
At this moment, Dong Cheng was also called over. The first thing he saw was Cao Cao setting up a table in front of the throne room.
He was drinking.
" Hmph." Dong Cheng's heart turned cold. He knew the moment he saw Cao Cao. Ji Ping was probably…gone.
"Prime Minister Cao is in such a good mood! It's only three days past and they actually set up a banquet here. Could it be that they want to invite me to drink?”
"Hmph hmph hmph…"
Cao Cao laughed a few times before waving at Dong Cheng." Tonight, I have a headache and can't sleep. Therefore, I invited General Dong to accompany me for a drink."”
"Hmph, I don't usually drink."
Dong Cheng sneered and glared at Cao Cao,"Sir, I'm afraid you know that you can't mobilize so many soldiers in the Imperial City and want to make me pay with my life!”
"Oh?"
Cao Cao laughed," My army is just outside the city. There are a hundred thousand of them. Why would I be afraid of you? Tonight, one after another, it's time to settle the score. Come up and wait for the results with me.”
"There are only five hundred people in the Imperial City. I don't believe that you can defeat ten thousand people!”
"Ten thousand people?" Cao Cao supported himself with his knees and leaned forward slightly. He revealed a puzzled expression and asked in disbelief,"Xu City, there are actually so many people who want my head?! I want to see what they are.”
"Humph! Thief Cao!"
Dong Cheng looked at his daughter and then at Tian Zi, who was trembling in fear. His heart couldn't help but tremble.
However, he still did not feel despair.
After all, they had been planning this for a long time. From the first time Cao Cao sent out his troops, when he was not in Xudu, they had already started discussing under Xun Yu's nose.
After that, every time Cao Cao left the capital, he would take the opportunity to discuss.
That was why the situation today was like this. Although there were many people on the Brave General Rankings under Cao Cao's command, they definitely couldn't fight against ten times or even ten times more people.
Furthermore, Dong Cheng's troops had already taken control of the armory.
Those swords, bows, and arrows were all taken without respect.
Even if he shot arrows, he should be invincible and kill anyone who blocked his path.
"Don't worry. Let's wait and see."
Cao Cao smacked his lips, full of confidence.
Tonight, he felt that he had done something very romantic.
In the midst of danger, above the sword.
His heart was as calm as water, and he was extremely confident. This was an invincible stance.
……
At this moment.
In Guanglu Mansion.
The guards outside the door started to make a ruckus, disturbing Xu Zhen's sleep. Xu Zhen was in a soft and fragrant environment.
Cao Xian.
Sixteen years old, a young girl.
She was quite similar to her father in that she was magnanimous, like a graceful and noble person. She grew up under Lady Bian's knees and had Bian Yu-er's gentleness.
With these two auras combined, even if she was only sixteen, she was like a big sister.
She was plump, beautiful, and had fair skin.
"Lord…"
At this moment, she was resting a little, but she did not object to Xu Zhen doing such a more polite action. After all, he was already her husband.
However, she was a concubine and couldn't call him husband yet.
"Someone is shouting outside the door. I'm afraid there's someone causing trouble nearby.”
"Aren't you afraid?" Xu Zhen was lying on his knees, and Cao Xian's face could be seen when he looked up.
"Of course not. The Lord is the sky, and the sky hasn't collapsed. What is there to be afraid of?”
"Hehehe…"
Xu Zhen laughed a few times before stretching lazily in her arms. He yawned and looked up at the door."Xian 'er, help me give the order."
"Me?" Cao Xian was stunned.
"That's right. Just go to the door and inform the maidservant.”
"Alright, please speak, Lord."
"En, order Dian Wei to lead 300 people to the southern street, occupy the inner city's city pass, and close the city gates.”
"Order Dian Wei to lead 500 people to the west outer city gate and open it.”
"Order Guo Fengxiao to go to the School Affairs Office with my orders and invite 500 school affairs and all the officials to go to the palace immediately. After that, come back and sleep with me.”
Cao Xian was silent for a moment.
Xu Zhen opened his eyes and saw that she was blushing.
"I'm not afraid. I'm just sleeping."
"No, it better not be just…"
Cao Xian's face was so red that it was about to drip water. He immediately stood up and went to the door to tell the servant girl outside. Although his thoughts were unstable, the words he said were stable.
It was as if a real queen was giving orders.
Then, he returned and knelt in front of Xu Zhen. He smiled and said,""Lord, you don't need to go to the battlefield to give orders at home?”
"Not bad."
"In this case, I'll be laughed at by the other generals tomorrow.”
" Which dog dares to laugh at me?" Xu Zhen patted Cao Xian's hand, yawned again, and lazily got up to go to bed.
……
Inside the city, Xu Chu's 500 men of sacrifice immediately left the inner city and headed straight for the outer city at the west gate. When he arrived, Dian Wei had already taken down the inner city's city pass. Once he was released, he immediately closed the city gate.
As for the school affairs, they invited all the officials to drag and shove them from each family to the Imperial City.
Only Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Zhong Yao, who were actually sleeping at home, changed into their official robes and left without hesitation.
……
Gradually, the sun rose.
At the moment of dawn, the Imperial City was still shouting and killing countless people.
From the small path of Shu Jian Pavilion, they killed all the way to the square, their shouts shaking the sky.
At this time, it was just dawn. The gate of the Imperial City opened, and a few people fled in a panic.
He fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
A general was slowly walking out.
Dressed in silver armor and a silver helmet, he was extremely handsome. He held a bright silver spear in his hand, and the tassel of the spear was even more blood-red. He looked at these people coldly.
He then looked at the civil and military officials who had just arrived, as well as the various generals.
"I, Zhao Zilong of Chang Mountain, was ordered to protect my master. Tonight, 500 guards killed more than 8,000 people!”
"This, this…"
" Five, five hundred to eight thousand?!"
At this moment, Yu Jin, who was ranked 29th, could not help but be a little enlightened.
Was there really such a fierce general in the world?
"Pass it on, pass it on, Zhao Zilong 500 broke 8000!”
"Pass it down, Zhao Zilong saved the world by himself and broke 8,000!”
"Pass it down, Zhao Long fought 8,000 soldiers alone and wiped them all out!”
The corner of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched. Aiyo, here it comes again!!!
