Demon of the Three Kingdoms

"Okay, Bufan, you go down, Feng Xiao will tell you the detailed situation!" Cao Cao waved his hand, indicating that Guo Jia and Lu Rui can go down.

"No!" Lu Rui and Guo Jia cupped their hands and retreated.

"Come on, you stay outside the tent, no one is allowed to enter without my military order."

"No!" Dian Wei cupped his hands and stood guard outside the military tent.

"Master, what about Teacher Xun?" Lu Rui immediately asked Guo Jia as soon as he sat down.

"I don't know the exact situation, but Xu Du's situation is not very good."

"Master, what do you mean Master Xun is going to betray Father Zhong?"

"That's not enough. If Wen Ruo is a sensible person, His Majesty's life or death will be uncertain if he falls into the hands of any prince, but with the lord, at least there is still a place to live and live." Guo Jia took a sip of hot wine and sighed helplessly. in one breath.

"What does the master mean?"

"It seems that there may be someone who is causing trouble, and wants to use His Majesty to deal with the Lord."

"What clue does the master have?"

"One heart!" Guo Jia resolutely spit out two words from his mouth.

"One heart? The master doubted that the resourcefulness and one heart around His Majesty back then?"

"That's right. According to the information, Yixin is the most suspected. Han Sui's son died under the meat jerky bestowed by the imperial court. It was definitely not our fault. From the intelligence point of view, it was the people from the Royal Manor who did it. Gao, it's the same as Yi Xin at the beginning."

"Then what is Teacher Xun's attitude?"

"Wen Ruo wants to be a responsible Dahan Xudu official!"

"Well, Rui understands, so Rui returned to Xudu this time. It is to eliminate hidden dangers for Zhongfu!"

Guo Jia's meaning is very clear.Xun Yu would not betray Cao Cao.But for those who opposed Cao Cao and supported Liu Xie, Xun Yu probably just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. Although there is no major threat to Cao Cao now, water dripping through stone, if it takes a long time, it may be a serious problem.

"It's good that Bufan understands, this time I return to Xudu. Lord Sikong will ask General Cao Hong to lead troops to assist Bufan. Bufan must remember that a politician must not be soft-hearted!"

"Rui understands! So Teacher Xun?"

"My lord's meaning is: Wen Ruo is an important minister of our army, and he has made great contributions. He can be banned but not killed, and he must be treated according to the etiquette of the teacher!"

"Rui understands, please rest assured, master, Rui will definitely investigate the matter of Xudu."

"Well, it's still winter now, so Bufan will return to Xudu. We should eradicate the enemy with thunderbolts, and wait until next spring when the snow melts. Bufan should arrive here with rations for our army's westward march!"

"Yes, Rui understands!"

In a mansion in Xudu City, Yixin was reading the roster in the study room. This is the list of those who are loyal to Liu Xie in the imperial court, and Kong Rong's name is ranked first.

"Eighth Brother?" A man's voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Second brother? Why are you here? Aren't you attending a poetry conference for scribes in your hometown?" Yixin got up immediately when he saw the old horse coming.

"Eighth brother, the poetry conference is not very interesting. I came to Xudu to have a look. How are you preparing?" Lao Ma smiled, pushed open the door, and walked into the study.

"Second brother, don't worry, the younger brother will handle everything seamlessly. Everything has been arranged. As long as we propose it at the New Year's court meeting, our plan will be successful." Yixin smiled, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and came to the old horse's side.

"Eighth Brother, you still have to be careful, Cao Cao's staff are not easy to deal with."

"Why can't the second brother trust the younger brother? Now there is less than one month left before the New Year's court meeting, when the time comes, the second brother will be optimistic!" Yixin answered the old horse confidently.

"Well, eighth brother, what's the situation with Xun Yu?"

"Second brother, don't worry, as the second brother expected, Xun Yu was doing his job honestly. After the death of Han Sui's son, he launched a routine investigation, caught the killer, and executed him. The case is closed, Han Sui's son died in a romantic affair, he was murdered by seeking vengeance after arguing with others in the Land of Flowers and Willows."

"It seems that Xun Wenruo is really loyal. As long as it is beneficial to His Majesty, Xun Yu will not interfere." The old horse smiled. Xun Wenruo did not expect Xiao He of Cao Jun to have such a weakness.

"Second brother, since Xun Wenruo is loyal to His Majesty, why don't we make more demands?"

"Eighth brother, although Xun Yu is loyal to His Majesty, he is also Cao Cao's aide, and his loyalty to Cao Cao cannot be ignored. It is enough for us to get these official positions. Don't rush everything, or you will reap the consequences!"

"Hmph! Second brother, you are too cautious. In my opinion, we can be bolder..."

"Eighth brother! Needless to say, Xudu came here to remind you not to rush, and everything is going according to plan."

"Second brother?"

"Eighth brother!" The old horse stared at Xinxin, then shrank his head and stopped talking.

"Eighth brother, who are we going to choose this time?" Lao Ma Yufeng changed the topic.

"Kong Rong!"

"Kong Rong? Hahaha! The eighth brother is good at planning. Kong Rong has a high reputation and is a good candidate. Let Kong Rong open a way for our Sima family!"

"Second brother, don't worry, younger brother will definitely open up a road for our Sima family!"

"Well, the second brother is very relieved. I will leave this matter to the eighth brother. The second brother still has important matters. He wants to go to Jingzhou. Xu will depend on the eighth brother."

"Second brother, please don't worry, the younger brother knows that it will definitely not spoil the important affairs of our Sima family!"

Outside Xudu City, there was heavy snowfall, and Cao Hong waited for Lu Rui in the western suburbs with his personal guards.

"General, a carriage is coming!" The lieutenant pointed to a group of soldiers protecting a carriage coming towards Cao Hong not far away.

"This is an extraordinary carriage, let's go, let's go up!"

"Rui met uncle!"

"There is no need to be too polite for Bufan, but I have been waiting here for a long time for my uncle."

"It's my nephew's fault for keeping my uncle waiting for a long time. When the matter of Xudu is over, my nephew will definitely bring some fine wine from the house to visit my uncle."

"Okay! I'm just waiting for the extraordinary wine."

"Uncle, nephew asked uncle to prepare the casual clothes, uncle ready?"

"Don't worry, Bufan, it's already prepared. After you change into your clothes, you will be the caravan of the Cao family in Qiao County. You won't be noticed by others when you enter."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Afterwards, Lu Rui and his party changed into the costumes of the caravan, entered Xu Capital City, and lived in a manor owned by Cao Hong.

"Uncle? What's going on with the court?" Lu Rui had just settled down, and asked Cao Hong about the situation in Xudu.

"There is no change in the court, but His Majesty has advanced the annual selection and assessment of officials, and Lord Xun has no objection."

"The selection and assessment of officials has been advanced?"

"That's right. I heard that it was Kong Rong who wrote the letter, and His Majesty approved it. The reason is that there will be a big review this year." The so-called big review refers to the substantial selection of officials and the transfer of official positions.

"Thank you uncle, Rui understands, uncle, where is Bo Ning?"

"Bonin has already returned to Xudu, and my uncle will arrange for Boning to come tonight."

"Okay! Thank you uncle!" Man Chong should have found out the real cause of Han Sui's son's death. (To be continued..)
