Chapter Eleven Failed Assassination
Wang Family Courtyard.
"Have you heard? Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo!" A maid asked, looking over her head.
"Really or not? Isn't Cao Cao a member of Dong Zhuo? I heard the master scolding this man before." The remaining two maids did not believe it.
"Is there still a lie? Now the city gates are closed, and the city is arresting Cao Cao. Everyone knows about the commotion outside, and the officers and soldiers are searching like crazy."
"So, Cao Cao is pretending to be close to Dong Zhuo, but he is actually a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"
"This... is really amazing! It's amazing..."
The three maids were shocked and chattering as they walked forward.
"How did it turn out?"
"What else can we do? The assassination attempt failed, but Cao Cao is really impressive. He managed to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion after his assassination attempt failed. Now General Lu Bu has ordered the city gates to be closed and is searching for people everywhere."
"I don't believe it. Then Cao Cao has been to the mansion. I saw him at the dinner party a few days ago when the master was chasing people away. He is not a strong man. How can he still fight his way out of the prime minister's mansion?" One of them hesitated for a while and said.
The maid who originally spoke was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said anxiously: "Really! I heard from Xiao Liuzi who was in charge of inquiring about the news. I just went outside the house and saw that the whole street was under martial law, and soldiers were going door to door.
Searching."
"Oh my God, you can still run away after assassinating the Prime Minister! Could it be that the late emperor showed up and saved Cao Cao's life?"
The maids, while excitedly talking about Cao Cao's heroic stories, became suspicious of ghosts and ghosts, muttering words of respect to ghosts and gods as they drifted away.
Sure enough, it is still the case.
Ji Shudai stood in the courtyard, the scissors cutting flowers and plants in his hand were put down at some point, and his thoughts were a little confused.
At this time, there was a commotion in front of the Situ Mansion.
"Bold, where are you from? Do you know where this is? You can search the Situ Mansion at will?" The old housekeeper angrily stood outside the door and confronted a group of sergeants.
But it happened that Sergeant Dong Zhuo came here to search.
The soldiers were ordered to search the residences of various officials. After hearing what the housekeeper said, they knew it was the residence of a high-ranking official. They did not dare to mess around like they did elsewhere, but they did not dare to retreat against the order. They were in a dilemma for a while.
A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted: "It's General Lu. Let's go report to General Lu for treatment."
The old butler had been serving Wang Yun for many years. After all, he was not comparable to those of the servants. As soon as he heard this, he knew who this "General Lu" was. He also understood that he did not just happen to be here, so he did not dare to stop him anymore and had to hurry up.
Go in and report to the master.
Not long after, Lu Bu arrived in person with his troops, and no one dared to stop him.
The soldiers rushed in, and a group of people rushed the house servants to the side to take care of them. A group of people entered the house and searched them one by one.
At this time, Ji Shu and other servants were guarded by Dong Zhuo's soldiers in a corner of the courtyard.
Countless pairs of eyes were quietly looking at Lu Bu, because he was the most controversial topic during this period.
He had just helped Ding Yuan win a battle, so he killed his adopted father in the evening, surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and then became Dong Zhuo's adopted son!
A villain who is so greedy for profit!
Ji Shu carefully looked at this man who was scolded as a "house slave with three surnames" in later generations.
He is tall and burly, with a resolute appearance, and can be regarded as a handsome man. He is also a brave general who dominates the world and dominates the three armies. You can see a calmness in him, which is the confidence that comes from fighting.
It's a pity that there is gold and jade on the outside, but decay on the inside.
Ji Shu secretly sighed. Even if he has not yet been recognized by the princes, in the near future, he will be the undisputed number one in the world. How many people are not ashamed of his character, despise him, but at the same time fear him.
.
"Is this person coming General Lu Bu?"
Wang Yun walked out with the old housekeeper, saw Lu Bu at a glance, stepped forward and asked.
"Lu Bu has met Lord Situ. The military affairs office is here. I hope you will forgive me."
Lu Bu's new defection to Dong Zhuo was naturally unwilling to offend anyone casually. What's more, Wang Yun was one of the three princes in the dynasty and the leader of the royalist faction.
Even Dong Zhuo, although he hated Wang Yun, was still unwilling to fall out with Wang Yun easily. Because the Xiliang army had a weak foundation in the capital, Dong Zhuo could run the army, but no one could run the government. These literati opposed him secretly, so what happened to Dong Zhuo?
I don't know, he hates them but has to use them.
But Dong Zhuo believed that this was only a matter of time, because he had military power and he could slowly cultivate civilians who were loyal to him. The royalists would never want to take away military power from themselves.
"It doesn't matter. I, the Situ Mansion, am not afraid of shadows, nor are I afraid of your searches. Just don't search once today and again tomorrow. After all, I also need to save face with my old face."
Wang Yun looked at Lu Bu carefully and replied in a lukewarm tone.
"How dare you, how dare you. Lord Situ is too worried. We are just searching for key criminals, and we do not intend to offend Lord Situ."
