    Princess Wannian and Emperor Xian chatted for a long time, and an eunuch came out an hour later and told Liu Ke not to wait any longer, the princess wanted to stay in the palace.

    After Liu Ke said a brief farewell to Cao Cao, he left Emperor Xian's temporary palace.

    "Brother, is it inappropriate to just let Princess Wannian stay in the palace?" Dian Wei said.

    "Are you worried that this is not Princess Wannian's wish?" Liu Kedao said.

    "Yes, the palace is in danger, so why not follow us?" Dian Wei said.

    "Forget it, the reunion of brother and sister is a happy event. If we make random guesses, wouldn't it be a joke? Cao Mengde doesn't have the courage to attack the royal family." Liu Kedao.

    "Hehe, aren't we a little worried? After all, this place is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den." Dian Wei said.

    Just when a group of people passed a street corner, Liu Ke suddenly felt uneasy and found Xu Chu in front of him suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Lord, be careful!"

    careful?

    Although Liu Ke's sight was blocked, his movements were not slow at all. He twisted around and pressed his back against the wall as a cover.

    Whoosh whoosh whoosh¡ª¡ª

    The sound of firing crossbows sounded.

    Due to Xu Chu¡¯s timely warning, Liu Ke was not injured and the guards around him were also intact.

    Out of the corner of his eye, Liu Ke saw another group of assassins suddenly appear from behind the street. They were charging towards Liu Ke with big knives in their hands.

    "Brother doesn't need to do it himself, leave it to us." Dian Wei said.

    Then Dian Wei rushed forward and chopped down more than a dozen people with three strikes, five and two, which shocked the group of dead soldiers.

    Although their lives are worthless, the bloody scenes are still terrifying.

    Liu Ke was protected by the guards in the middle. He wanted to go out to help, but he was afraid of messing up his own position, so he simply did nothing.

    Anyway, with Xu Chu and Dian Wei here, these dead soldiers are not worth mentioning.

    As soon as the battle started, someone notified the city guards.

    The general on duty was Le Jin.

    After Le Jin got the news, he was filled with despair. If something happened to Liu Ke here, Xuchang would be doomed.

    "Quick! Follow me to protect Dongyang Hou!"

    Le Jin immediately led his troops and set out. When he saw that Liu Ke was well protected, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

    As long as Liu Ke is fine, that's fine.

    "Get the assassin!" Le Jin waved his hand, and the soldiers around him swarmed forward.

    Suddenly, three arrows were shot from the city guards, and the target was Liu Ke!

    Liu Ke had quick eyesight and quick hands. Just as he was about to dodge, a guard blocked Liu Ke with his flesh and blood body.

    Three crossbow arrows hit the guard in the shoulder, stomach, and thigh. He looked very embarrassed.

    Liu Ke could tell at a glance that no vital points were hurt, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

    Flesh wounds are nothing to a sergeant.

    However, this matter is not over yet!

    Le Jin, who led the army, was stunned.

    There are assassins among the city guards!

    Although the three were captured quickly, they had already taken poison and were frothing at the mouth and fell unconscious.

    This is a real dead man.

    "Close the team!" Le Jin ordered. He didn't know how many dead soldiers were hidden in the team.

    What if there is more?

    When Le Jin closed the team, he also had some regrets.

    Why was there no successful assassination of Dongyang Hou?

    Le Jin couldn¡¯t help but take action personally.

    Fortunately, Taishi Ci came after hearing the news and led the Yangzhou army to blockade several streets and began to hunt for the assassins.

    "My lord, it's too late, please punish me!" Tai Shici blamed himself.

    "Ziyi, you came just in time to arrange for military doctors to treat the wounded." Liu Kedao.

    "I obey," Taishi Ci said, clasping his fists.

    As for the assassins who made the assault, they had already been dealt with by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

    There was a long and shocking wound on Xu Chu¡¯s arm.

    "Why are you still injured?" Liu Ke asked in surprise.

    "My lord, the general is unlucky and was injured by an old man disguised as an assassin." Xu Chu said.

    "Since you are injured, bandage it well and don't run around." Liu Ke warned.

    "Aren't you worried about my lord? Since my lord is fine, I'm relieved." Xu Chu said with a smile.

    Seeing this, Liu Ke can¡¯t be blamed.On the other side, Cao Cao also hurried towards this side.

    When Cao Cao arrived at the street where Liu Ke was assassinated, the entire street was filled with murderous intent, and all Yangzhou soldiers were fully armored.

    Le Jin was waiting outside the blockade. After seeing Cao Cao, he finally had a backbone. He quickly stepped forward to salute and said in a panic: "My lord, something serious has happened!"

    "I know that Marquis Dongyang was assassinated. As long as he is fine, I will handle the matter of Marquis Dongyang." Cao Cao said confidently.

    "My Lord, there is actually a more troublesome thing." Le Jin said embarrassedly.

    "What do you look like, hesitating? Say it quickly!" Cao Cao said impatiently.

    Then Le Jin told the story about the traitors among the city guards.

    Cao Cao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

    "how so?"

    "The general is not strict with his subordinates, please punish me, my lord!" Le Jin said.

    What¡¯s the use of blaming our own generals now that things have come to this?

    It¡¯s better to win people¡¯s hearts.

    "Okay, check it for me, check it hard, and just give me an explanation." Cao Cao said.

    "Yes, lord!" Le Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    Now, Cao Cao has a headache, how can he stabilize the Marquis of Dongyang?

    ??We must not let Dongyang Hou take the opportunity to explode, otherwise it will be unthinkable.

    "Please inform the Marquis of Dongyang, Meng De, please see me." The current situation is not conducive to Cao Cao. He had to suppress the anger in his heart and speak to the soldiers guarding the streets in a low voice.

    "Prime Minister, please come back. My lord was assassinated and is in shock. He has no time to receive the Prime Minister." The soldier replied coldly, without any intention of informing him.

    Cao Cao¡¯s smile froze, what does it mean to be in shock?

    Can you find a better excuse?

    "If you don't have enough brain power, I can help you think about it. Why do you have to deal with me?"

    How is it possible that Dongyang Hou is such a heroic figure, but one assassination left him in shock.

    It¡¯s so disrespectful!

    How could Cao Cao be willing to go back? He just hated that in order to win Liu Ke's trust, he didn't bring any guards with him, only a few servants, otherwise why would he be so humble.

    "I must see the Marquis of Dongyang!" Cao Cao refused to leave.

    The Yangzhou soldiers were stubborn and had no choice but to report.

    Cao Cao was able to enter. However, after preparing a lot of emotional cards, he did not see Liu Ke, but Guo Jia, Liu Ke's first counselor.

    "Please don't take offense to the lack of discipline among Yangzhou soldiers." Guo Jia apologized.

    How could Cao Cao care about these polite words and asked quickly: "Where is the Marquis of Dongyang?"

    "My lord is feeling unwell and has returned to the camp to rest." Guo Jiadao.

    Cao Cao's expression suddenly became strange. This time, he might be bleeding heavily.

    I want to cry but have no tears!

    Cao Cao originally wanted to invite Liu Ke over to meet Emperor Xian, so as to extend the court's presence and get closer to Liu Ke.

    But, I didn¡¯t expect this to happen!

    If Cao Cao knows that it was a bastard who did it, he will definitely be killed!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
