A peaceful night
But this night, there would be people who would not sleep.
For example, Cao Cao couldn't help but become excited when he thought of the plan that Ding Han had told him in the afternoon. He couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Like Wang Yun
After handing the Seven Stars Saber to Cao Cao, the two of them chatted until midnight. Wang Yun also knew Cao Cao's thorough plan and was excited. He only hoped that Dong Zhuo's head would be hung above Weiyang Palace tomorrow morning.
This was the end of this nightmare.
……
a sleepless night
the next morning
Cao Cao wore a grey cotton coat and wrapped himself tightly. Ding Han had instructed Cao Cao to wear this coat. If he wanted to hide a dagger, he had to wear this.
Fortunately, it was already winter, so no one would be able to tell if she wore tight clothes.
xiangfu
Cao Cao led a red and brown horse and leisurely walked to the door.
A soldier stepped forward and held the reins for Cao Cao. Cao Cao also stepped forward and said to the soldiers guarding the door,
"Valiant Cavalry Lieutenant greets the Prime Minister."
Seeing that it was Cao Cao, the guard smiled and cupped his hands,"
"Sir, please."
Cao Cao smiled and asked,"
"Aren't you going to search? See if I have any weapons on me?"
The soldier smiled again.
"That's for outsiders. You don't have to be so formal.”
"Sir, please!"
Cao Cao also smiled and didn't say anything else, striding into the Prime Minister's residence.
Cao Cao entered the inner court of the Prime Minister's Residence without anyone stopping him.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo was leisurely playing pitch-pot.
Beside him stood a burly man in armor with a handsome face.
"Prime Minister, please forgive me, Cao Cao is late!”
Cao Cao's voice was loud and clear as he suppressed the nervousness in his heart.
"Yo, Meng De is here?"
Dong Zhuo also heard Cao Cao's voice and smiled. He nodded and said,"Good! Good! Good!"
"Come! Come! Come!"
Cao Cao didn't stand on ceremony and walked up to Dong Zhuo.
"Meng De, let me introduce you.”
Dong Zhuo waved his hand at the handsome man beside him and said with a smile,
"This is my adopted son, Lu Bu.”
"He has just returned to the capital from Western Liang.”
Hearing Lu Bu's name, Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat. He was secretly glad that he wasn't planning to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, with Lu Bu here, he would have no chance of survival.
He hurriedly cupped his hands at Lu Bu.
"General Lu Bu's reputation has long since resounded in my ears.”
"People say that Lu Bu is a man, and a red rabbit is a horse. In addition to the Heavenly Halberd in the general's hand, he can be said to be rare in the world and invincible.”
"Hah! Hah! Ha!"
The three of them laughed at Cao Cao's words.
Dong Zhuo smiled and waved at Lu Bu,"
"Fengxian, did you hear that? Cao Mengde's mouth was truly invincible.”
Lu Bu smiled and cupped his fists.
"Meng De has said too much. Lu Bu doesn't dare to accept it.”
After some small talk, Dong Zhuo also asked Cao Cao why he had only arrived now. Coincidentally, Dong Zhuo had already sent someone to call Cao Cao when the sun had just risen. Cao Cao had also been delayed because he had hidden the Seven Stars Saber.
Cao Cao explained that his horse was weak and could not run on the road. Lu Bu volunteered to pick a good horse for Cao Cao as a gift.
Dong Zhuo agreed. Soon, only Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo were left in the hall.
"Meng De, let me ask you something. Are you familiar with Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu?”
Cao Cao looked around and saw that there were only two maids left in the hall. He became excited again.
He had not expected Lu Bu to choose a horse for him. At this moment, only he and Dong Zhuo were in the hall.
If he really killed Dong Zhuo, no matter how chaotic the Great Han Dynasty was, it would at least be much better than now, right?
A thought popped up in Cao Cao's mind. At that moment, the seed that had been growing wildly suddenly stopped.
Was he really going to give up this great opportunity?
Could the other dukes really kill Dong Zhuo?
Countless thoughts began to emerge, successfully attracting Dong Zhuo's attention.
"Meng De, Meng De."
"What are you waiting for? Why? Are you two very close?"
Seeing Cao Cao stunned, Dong Zhuo's eyes turned cold.
Cao Cao also came back to his senses. This was not the time to be in a daze. He quickly said,
"This subject and Yuan Benchu have known each other since young, but this subject has a different status from him.”
Dong Zhuo nodded in understanding, but he also started to curse,
"Yuan Shao, that bastard. We should have killed him when we entered the city.”
"At that time, I was worried about his fame, so I was soft-hearted and let this kid run out of the capital.”
"I didn't expect that he would actually gather all the dukes and raise an army against me.”
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo was furious.
"Don't be alarmed, Prime Minister. Yuan Shao has an undeserved reputation and no talent. The alliance army will definitely not be a match for the Western Liang army.”
"As long as we send General Lu Bu with thirty thousand cavalry, we will definitely win.”
"That's right, that's right!"
At this moment, a smile appeared on Dong Zhuo's face.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Dong Zhuo suddenly felt sleepy and yawned a few times.
"The cold weather makes people sleepy easily. Let's go inside and sleep for a while. We'll continue talking when we wake up.”
“.......”
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Cao Cao's spirit froze once more.
Dong Zhuo wanted to sleep?
Continue talking after waking up?
Did this mean that he should just wait?
One had to know that other than the maids serving them, the furthest guards were the guards at the door. They were at least 20 to 30 meters away from this place.
Wasn't this a heaven-sent opportunity?
What had he planned for so long?
Wasn't it to kill Dong Zhuo and get rid of such a great scourge for the world?
At this moment, there was no one guarding the hall. He only needed to kill Dong Zhuo in his sleep, and he would have a chance to survive.
However, was he really going to kill her?
Cao Cao couldn't help but recall what Ding Han had said to him yesterday.
"You must remember that anyone in the world can kill Dong Zhuo now, but you, Cao Mengde, can't.”
"Assassinating him is to gain more fame. Only when he is alive and escapes Luoyang will you have an excuse to recruit troops and horses to attack Dong Zhuo.”
However, if he didn't kill them…
Dong Zhuo had powerful generals like Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si under his command, as well as the 100,000-strong Xiliang Army. How could the vassals of the alliance destroy Dong Zhuo?
Kill or not kill
At this moment, Cao Cao's heart began to waver.
His heart was in a complete mess.
