"That's the case? How could Cao Cao be assassinated?" Zhang Lang asked.

Dong Ying said: "According to the news, it was Liu Bei and Guan Yu who took the opportunity of Cao Cao summoning them to assassinate Cao Cao." Zhang Lang was very surprised: "Liu Bei?!" He paused, "This is wrong! Liu Bei was tired of living, would he assassinate Cao Cao?" Dong Ying said: "It is said that Cao Cao was discovered because Liu Bei colluded with the Xianbei people. Liu Bei killed Cao Cao in panic!" Zhang Lang said angrily: "This is even more unreliable! Who is Cao Cao? If he wanted to expose Liu Bei's collusion with foreign races in person, would he be completely prepared?"

Only then did Dong Ying think of this question, "Yes! Something seems wrong!"

Zhang Lang thought for a while and said to Dong Ying, "Call Wenhe, Yueying and Cai Yan to the back hall." Dong Ying shouted and ran away. The main civil officials and strategists in Luoyang are Jia Xu, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan. Other major civil officials and strategists were sent by Zhang Lang to preside over the internal affairs of the land. Chen Gong was still in charge of Bingzhou, Zhuge Liang was in charge of Jingzhou, Fa Zheng managed Xichuan, and Cai Yong coordinated Xiliang and Guanzhong.

Not long after, in the back hall, Jia Xu, Huang Yueying and Cai Yan paid a visit to Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang asked the three of them to sit down. The three of them thanked each other and sat down separately. Jia Xu sat on the left and Huang Yueying sat on the right. The second was his eyes sitting under Huang Yueying.

Jia Xu clasped his fists and asked, "The lord summoned his subordinates and others at night, but what urgent matter happened?"

Zhang Lang sighed, "Things of the world are unpredictable, and God's will is unpredictable!" He glanced at the three of them, "Just just received news from Xuchang, Cao Cao was assassinated and killed by Liu Bei."

The three of them were shocked, and Huang Yueying said in disbelief: "This is so strange! How did Liu Bei go back to assassinate Cao Cao? And how could Liu Bei kill Cao Cao?"

Jia Xu said: "Miss Huang said so well! Lord, is this news reliable?"

Zhang Lang glanced at Dong Ying beside him, and Dong Ying said, "This is the news from the envoys who stayed in Xuchang, which is absolutely reliable!"

Jia Xu thought, "Can this be a conspiracy Cao is playing?"

Zhang Lang asked: "Wenhe suspected that this was Cao Cao's plan to commit suicide?"

Jia Xu said, "It's not impossible!" He looked at Zhang Lang, clasped his fists and said, "Lord must also know Cao Cao's character! This person is deceitful and difficult, so it's not a trick he used to commit death against us." Zhang Lang said, "Everything is done has a purpose. If Cao Cao uses a trick to commit death against us, what is the purpose?"

Jia Xu said: "The first possibility is to use this to deceive the lord and take the opportunity to get rid of the lord. The second possibility is to make us unprepared for them so that they can take the opportunity to raid us."

Cai Yan said: "I'm afraid the first possibility doesn't exist, right? How could the elder brother go to someone else's place easily?"

Huang Yueying said: "That's not the case. If Cao ** comes, it is very reasonable for the successor to invite the elder brother to Xuchang in the name of hope of continuing to negotiate system reform with his elder brother. First, the other party showed sincerity, and second, because the other party is filial, it is indeed not suitable to leave Xuchang, so the elder brother can only go to Xuchang." Cai Yan frowned and nodded, "But this may be a trap!"

Yang Kun ran in and knelt on one knee and replied, "Report to General, Cao Pi's envoy is here."

Several people looked at each other, and Jia Xu said unexpectedly: "It's so fast!"

Zhang Lang said, "Please come in." Yang Kun Yingnuo said, ran down, and after a moment, he led an envoy wearing an official robe and black sand in. The envoy looked exhausted and obviously came here.

When the envoy saw Zhang Lang, he immediately bowed: "I will pay homage to the great general of the Han Dynasty in the prime minister's office!"

"No need to be polite. What's the point of being a noble envoy?"

The envoy took out a letter from his sleeve and raised his hands, saying, "My lord was murdered. The eldest prince was worried that the matters planned by the first lord and the general would be interrupted, so he specially asked the lord to go to Xuchang to continue to discuss the system reform. The eldest prince said: No matter what, the father's wish cannot be let go to the fore. He must continue his wish!"

Dong Ying walked to the messenger by the sword, took the letter, turned around and presented it to Zhang Lang, and then stood back next to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang opened the letter and read it carefully. Except for some diplomatic and polite words, what he said was basically the same as the urgent items he found not long ago.

Zhang Lang put down the letter and said to the messenger: "This fact is too sudden! I am completely unprepared! Many things need to be handled! Go back and tell the eldest son that I will send an important minister to pay my condolences and consult with the eldest son on the follow-up matters of the system reform!"

The messenger said, "This matter is of great importance. If the general doesn't go, I'm afraid it's not good!"

Huang Yueying said: "It's really a sudden incident, and many things cannot be separated from the general! We all know that the envoy's concerns are the ones who can fully represent him to Xuchang for condolences!"

Seeing Huang Yueying say this, the envoy was not good to say anything else. He clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "Since that's the case, the official will say goodbye." Zhang Lang said to Yang Kun, "Send the envoy to me." Yang Kun said with a promise and led the envoy away.

After the messenger left, Huang Yueying sneered: "They really want to use this incident to plot against the elder brother!"

Cai Yan frowned and said, "Is Cao Cao really pretending to die?"

Jia Xu said: "This is not necessarily true! But no matter whether Cao Cao is really dead or not, the other party will take advantage of this opportunity."

Huang Yueying clasped her fists at Zhang Lang and said, "I'll walk for my elder brother."

Zhang Lang opposed without thinking, "No! If those bastards take action, wouldn't I compensate my wife and soldiers!" Several people looked at Zhang Lang with a strange expression, but Huang Yueying's delicate face was red, and there was a tenderness like water in her beautiful eyes. Huang Yueying said softly: "Brother, don't worry, as long as the brother doesn't go, they will definitely not move!" Jia Xu smiled and said, "I know my lord's concerns, and my subordinates can guarantee it with a head. Miss Huang's trip is absolutely fine. If the other party cannot plot against my lord, he will definitely not break up with us at this time, which is very unfavorable to them!"

Zhang Lang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The next morning, Huang Yueying left Luoyang under the protection of the Hu Ben Guard. Zhang Lang stood on the city gate and looked at the team gradually moving away, feeling ups and downs. Jia Xu saw Zhang Lang's worries and smiled and said, "My lord, please be relieved, Miss Huang will never be in trouble!" Zhang Lang nodded.

Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, we should make some preparations." Zhang Lang nodded and sighed, "I saw that my ideal is about to come true! But such an accident suddenly occurred! Sometimes it is impossible to believe in God's will!"
