The knife is one foot, two inches and seven minutes long, extremely sharp.

Ding Chen knelt on the bed, looking at the short knife in front of him, his mind was blank.

His hands were trembling a little.

He slowly picked up the short knife and gently slid his fingers over the blade. The knife seemed to have spirituality, and a cold light flowed through it.

The short knife flipped in his hand and a knife flower appeared.

Ding Chen swallowed and looked at the two ancient seal characters on the hilt of the knife, and was a little dazed!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ding Chen was from Qiao, Pei State. He was born in the ninth year of Yanxi, that is, 166 AD.

In Pei Country, the Ding family is not a prominent family, it can only be said to be an ordinary family. Ding Chen is the youngest in his family and ranked tenth, so everyone in his family habitually calls him "Xiao Shi" or "Zhuro".

When Ding Chen was very young, his mother passed away.

My father is an honest man, busy with his livelihood all day and has no time to take care of Ding Chen.

So my elder sister was very good for him. After getting married, she took him to her husband's house and took care of him and grew up.

Ding Chen's brother-in-law is an amazing person named Cao Cao, and now he is appointed as the lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy.

He served as the Northern Commander of Luoyang, and set up a five-color stick to beat Jian Shu, and had a very famous reputation.

Later, Cao Cao was dissatisfied with the general attendant Zhang Rang, so he took a knife to assassinate, but the assassination failed in the end. Fortunately, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was also a eunuch and had been kind to Zhang Rang, so he did not hold him up for his crime. However, because of this, Cao Cao was dismissed from his official position and demoted back to his hometown... Until the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao participated in the fight to quell the Yellow Turban Army as a cavalry commander and made many military achievements. Later, the Han emperor set up the Eight Captains of the West Garden, and Cao Cao was also promoted.

He has always respected Cao Cao and Ding Chen.

But at this moment, he was a little confused and was stunned when he looked at the short knife in his hand.

The Seven Treasure Sword, it actually was the Seven Treasure Sword... Three days ago, Cao Cao was invited by Situ Wang Yun to go to the mansion for a banquet. He returned home from the royal palace drunk, and then took him to the study, took out the short knife, and showed off in front of him with a smile.

"This is what Wang Situ loves. What does Ziyang think?"

Of course, Ding Chen praised it all the time, and then asked casually: "I heard that Wang Situ regarded this knife as a treasure for a long time, so why would he give it to his brother-in-law?"

Cao Cao did not answer at the time, but just laughed and kept the Seven Treasure Knife.

But now, the Seven Treasure Swords actually appeared in Ding Chen's room... What's the situation? Ding Chen couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Juro, have a meal!"

The voice of my sister came from outside the house, which made Ding Chen come to his senses.

He thought about it, put the Qibao Knife into the sheath, then carefully placed it in the cabinet, and pressed his clothes on the Qibao Knife.

"Here you come!"

Ding Chen dusted his robe, smiled and then walked out of the bedroom.

It was early winter.

A cool and scorching sun hangs high in the air. The sun is very bright, but I can't feel the warmth at all, adding a little bit of bleakness.

This is a two-entry house, and the area is not too large.

Although Cao Cao was appointed as a military captain in the military and two thousand stones, he was not considered rich in Luoyang City, where every inch of land was valuable. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, prices in Luoyang soared. If it weren't for the wealthy family of my brother-in-law, he might not even be able to live in this house with his salary alone. Whenever he thought about this, Ding Chen couldn't help but feel a little lucky...

Sister, I am not yet in my thirties.

She is not a beauty, but she has a very good temperament and is particularly dignified.

She was wearing a cloth skirt and her long black hair tied into the most popular fallen bun, with a hint of warm smile on her face.

"Juro, are you doing something bad when hiding in the house?"

"What is my sister saying? I'm just thinking about things."

"Okay, go wash your hands, the meal is ready. If you don't come out again, Ang will cry and be looking for you."

Ding Chen grinned, hurriedly ran to the well to wash, and then walked into the dining room.

There are several food tables in the dining room, and each food table has a dining plate.

A young man sat upright behind the food table. When he saw Ding Chen coming in, he quickly lifted his clothes and stood up, bowed and called out: "Uncle!"

He looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his every move showed a calmness beyond his age.

Ding Chen nodded, sat down after a meal table, and said with a smile: "And, I heard your mother say, you are going to cry, don't you look for me?"

“Where is it?”

The boy blushed and said a little shyly: "Ang is just hungry."

"Since you're hungry, then eat! Sister, I'm not polite."

My sister sat next to her, smiling without saying a word.

Ding Chen no longer gave in. He picked up a steamed cake and started eating it.

"Juro, your brother-in-law has been worried these two days and hastened out again today. Do you know what happened?"

Ding Chen's face changed slightly, and he immediately put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand and whispered: "What else can I do?"

On the first day of September, the Taiwei summoned all officials in the Chongde Front Hall and forced the Empress Dowager to issue an edict, deposed the emperor as King Hongnong, appointed King Chenliu, and forced the Empress Dowager to return to power. The ministers in the court dared to be angry but did not dare to speak... My brother-in-law was depressed because of this, but he didn't know that the Empress Dowager suddenly passed away within three days after being moved to Yongning Palace. It is said that it was the Grand Marshal's work, so my brother-in-law was naturally unhappy.

After Ding Chen said that, he sighed.

"I heard that the Taiwei wanted to be the prime minister and wanted to take charge of the court.

He is now in great power, and the knowledgeable people in the court have left one after another. My brother-in-law is quite dissatisfied with this, so he feels depressed."

"Yes, the changing storm of the court is really scary."

The sister also sighed, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "I can't see clearly at this moment. I always feel that it will be dangerous to stay in Luoyang... Juro, why don't you persuade your brother-in-law to resign from his official position? Let's go back to your hometown in Qiao County. Your brother-in-law has always listened to you, and if you open your mouth, he will definitely agree."

Ding Chen thought about it and nodded.

Luoyang is indeed not safe, so it is best to prepare early.

Thinking of this, Ding Chen had already made plans, so he raised his head and said to his sister: "Sister, I think we should prepare in advance. It is best to pack our luggage first to avoid being caught off guard when something happens. What do you think?"

"Well, what you said makes sense, but what can happen?"

As soon as my sister finished speaking, she heard a noise coming from the yard.

Immediately afterwards, an old butler stumbled in and crawled in as soon as he entered the dining room, saying, "Madam, something happened!"

Is it such a coincidence?

My sister's face changed and she couldn't help but look at Ding Chen.

Juro just said that something was wrong, and something happened?

She suppressed her panic in her heart and stood up and said, "Cao Xin, what happened? She was so panicked."

Cao Xin was from his brother-in-law's family. He has followed his brother-in-law for many years and is also his brother-in-law's confidant. Before, when his brother-in-law was the Northern Territory of Luoyang, Cao Xin followed his brother-in-law. Later, his brother-in-law's ups and downs, and Cao Xin never left and was loyal.

Ding Chen's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly stood up.

He thought of the seven treasure sword, and a bad omen suddenly appeared in his heart.

"And, go pack your bags."

The boy looked confused and didn't understand what was going on, but he obeyed and stood up and hurried out of the dining room.

"When the villain was buying outside, I heard that the lord failed to assassinate the Grand Marshal and had fled from Luoyang alone."

"What?"

When my sister heard this, she was shocked and her face showed horror.

Why is Ah Man so bold that he actually wants to assassinate Taiwei Dong... But the question is, why didn't he say it in advance, so he would be somewhat prepared. Now that he failed to assassinate and fled from Luoyang, what should these people in his family do?

"Are you sure?"

"It's true!"

Ding Chen walked forward at this time and held his sister's hand.

My sister's hands were very cold and trembled slightly, showing her panic.

"Cao Xin, prepare horses."

"ah?"

"Don't be too long-winded, prepare your horse immediately, let's go."

The thing Ding Chen was most worried about finally happened! This also made him feel a little angry... He had always respected his brother-in-law. But he never thought that he didn't even remind him, so he suddenly launched, which put them in danger.

"Sister, let's leave immediately. Before the Grand Marshal can react, we will leave here first and then find an opportunity to escape from Luoyang."

"Juro..."

"It's okay, sister!" Ding Chen held his sister's hand and whispered: "With Juro, there are thousands of troops, so you can't even think that A sister and Ang can hurt him at all. Don't hesitate, let's leave immediately. You go and help Ang clean up now."

My sister finally came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.

She quickly walked out of the dining room and headed straight to the back house.

Ding Chen didn't dare to hesitate and trotted straight to the bedroom.
