Chapter 84

Zhang Liao told Cao Peng everything, including the fact that Lu Lingqi had come to beg him in Xuzhou City before.

These assassins were not members of the army, but desperadoes Zhang Liao had found for her.

I thought that the person she was going to assassinate should be Liu Bei, but I didn't expect that the target was Cao Cao.

After Cao Peng heard everything, his face was always gloomy.

He didn't expect this girl to be like a little wild wolf, perfectly disguised in front of him.

Or, it was because he liked her that he was cheated, and he should have been vigilant long ago.

After explaining everything, Zhang Liao still had lingering fears. He had never seen such a terrifying Cao Peng.

The sense of oppression and momentum given to him just now was just like that of Lu Bu.

"General, I..."

Zhang Liao expressed his apologies. If he had expected Lu Lingqi to assassinate Cao Cao, he would not have helped her anyway.

Cao Peng said coldly: "Let's find Sikong first! You'd better keep this secret in your stomach and resign yourself to fate. If you find out, you and I will die!"

"Obey!" Zhang Liao was so annoyed that he was dying, but just as Cao Peng said, he could only resign himself to fate.

Regardless of whether it was Cao Peng, Zhang Liao, or the soldiers led by Cao Ren who came down first, Cao Cao had not yet been found, but the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were one step ahead of them.

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed at this time, and after seeing the three brothers Liu Bei, his eyes became even more panicked.

Now he is the only one facing these three big men. If these three have evil intentions, it will be useless for him to break his throat.

That's right, no one will notice here at all, and killing Cao Cao is simply the best opportunity.

Guan Yu raised the eyebrows of the crouching silkworm, opened the eyes of the red phoenix, raised his knife and patted his horse, and was about to step forward to kill Cao Cao.

When Liu Bei saw him, he grabbed his arm and rode his horse in front of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's hand hidden behind him and shook desperately, signaling him not to do it.

"Brother, why stop me?" Guan Yu asked in a low voice, puzzled.

"Shut up, Yun Chang, I have my own arrangements!" Liu Bei whispered and went towards Cao's steering horse.

When Liu Bei was still some distance away from Cao Cao, he smiled and bowed his hands in salute, and then said, "Master Sikong, fortunately you are fine, Liu Bei's rescue came late, which surprised you!"

Cao Cao: "??!"

He took a serious look at Liu Bei's expression, and saw that this person was really relieved, as if he was happy that he escaped danger.

This operation made him a little confused. What is going on with Liu Bei?Where is he from?

"Let Xuande worry about it, but it's just a bunch of young people, and it won't kill me. After all, the big man still needs me to support him!"

Cao Cao was indeed a little bold, the more he wanted to test Liu Bei at such a time.

He carefully looked at Liu Bei's facial expression, but he couldn't see anything on the other's face.

He even wondered for a while, did Liu Bei really plan to submit to him?

In fact, if Liu Bei made up his mind to attack at this time, he could really kill Cao Cao.

However, Liu Bei faltered at the critical moment.

Uncle Liu Huang's analysis is very good. If he makes Guan Yu and Zhang Fei make a sudden attack at this time, even if Cao Cao is killed, the three of them will never escape.

At this moment, Cao Peng and Zhang Liao also arrived.

When Cao Peng saw the situation, he didn't even think about what was going on?

The three brothers Liu Bei and Cao Cao bumped into each other, and Cao Cao was spared in the end. This is simply...

Cao Cao also saw it, and when Cao Peng and others came, they were finally completely relieved.

This time Xu Tian hunted, it really scared him.

"Anmin, quickly send someone to find General Dianwei, he may have been swept away by this swift river."

So Cao Peng sent people to search for it along the river, and they did find Dian Wei downstream.

Falling from a high cliff, fortunately, the river stopped the momentum. Although Dian Wei was dying, he should still be saved.

People asked Dian Wei to be taken back for treatment, but Cao Peng advised Cao Cao not to go back for the time being.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy. This incident almost cost him his life, and also caused his beloved general Dian Wei to be seriously injured.

He is full of anger and wants to vent it now!

"Anmin, is it true that the little emperor and the minister did this?"

Cao Peng said: "According to the clues I have now, I'm [-]% to [-]% sure!"

At that moment, he immediately told about the rebellion, and then immediately admitted his mistake to Cao Cao:
"Uncle, it's all my fault for being careless at this time. I thought the seed was their only card, but I didn't expect there to be an ambush here!"

Cao Cao's face became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly:
"If that's the case, then why do you let me stay here? You should let me go back and clean up these guys!"

But Cao Peng immediately objected: "Uncle, the evidence in our hands is not enough now, you might as well use your tricks and let all these clowns jump out eagerly, and when you go back, you can catch them all in one go. The minister can be changed!"

After listening to Cao Peng's words, Cao Cao showed a thoughtful expression, and then asked: "Please tell me your strategy in detail!"

Cao Peng said: "Uncle, just imagine, if you suddenly disappeared, what would those officials and gentry do?"

"In Xudu, I'm afraid there will be many demons and ghosts jumping out!"

Cao Cao immediately understood what he meant.

That is to say, anyway, except for the people here, other people still think that they have fallen off the cliff, and they don't know the specific situation.

If he didn't show up, Xu Duzhong probably would have various speculations.

At that time, people with ulterior motives will definitely cause undercurrents to surge.

"Okay, it's a good strategy, but what about the three guys over there?"

As Cao Cao spoke, he pointed to the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang who were some distance away from them.

Cao Peng forgot about these three guys, but after thinking about it, he said: "Let me take them back together! I will keep these three people by my side and see if they are really loyal! "

Cao Cao nodded, and finally confessed: "You have to move faster, I'm afraid that if you are late, you will change!"

Cao Peng cupped his hands, "Uncle, don't worry! I will definitely bring you a big surprise this time."

Zhang Liao and Cao Ren were left to lead the army to guard Cao Cao, while Cao Peng returned to Xudu with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang.

Before leaving, Zhang Liao handed over a jade pendant to Cao Peng.

Cao Peng's face changed drastically. He knew that it was something that Lu Bu asked him to hand over to Lu Lingqi.

"Where did you find it?"

"there……"

Cao Peng asked Zhang Liao to lead the way to the place where the jade pendant was found.

This time, the two of them searched for clues carefully, only to find traces of someone passing by in the grass by the river.

It seems that Lu Lingqi has gone ashore and escaped...

Even though Cao Peng was worried, he had no other choice at this time. All he could do was to clean up these traces.

After finishing all this, Cao Peng patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder, and said: "Don't think about anything, as if nothing happened, nothing will happen!"
