The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 162 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind

Chen Dao saw all this clearly, seeing that Cao Xiu was about to kill Xu Chu, he couldn't take care of all that for a while.He felt a stone from his side, and threw it casually. It just hit Cao Xiu's wrist, and the steel knife fell to the ground with a "bang".Cao Xiu was shocked, and hurriedly hid behind a person, exposed his head and looked around: "Who! Come out!"

There was no movement in the yard, and the breeze rustled the leaves.Cheng Yu walked in quickly from the gate of the courtyard with two soldiers.Seeing the tense atmosphere in the courtyard, he was taken aback.Cao Zhen hurriedly stood in front of Cheng Yu with his sword.The soldiers began to search the courtyard, but no one was found in every corner.Cheng Yu glanced at Xu Chu who was lying on the ground, and immediately took a breath.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Cao Zhen asked hastily.

Xu Chu and Cheng Yu knew each other, and Long Fei met him several times when he came to get married last time.I have also heard about the Xujiazhuang incident. From a logical point of view, it is not too much for Xu Chu to seek revenge from Cao Hong. After all, Cao Hong killed all the old and young in Xujiazhuang.Xu Chu's arrest is bound to be a dead end, but when Long Fei is involved, the problem becomes a little more complicated.He just received Cao Cao's battle report this afternoon, and things on the front line are not going well.According to his speculation, someone would definitely suggest making peace with Long Fei. If he killed Long Fei's subordinates at this time, he was very clear about the consequences.

Under the persuasion of Cheng Yu and others, Cao Xiu finally agreed to put Xu Chu in prison, and deal with it as soon as Cao Cao came back.Watching Cheng Yu take Dian Wei away, Chen Dao came out from hiding and went straight to the high wall of Cao Mansion.Long Fei once ordered that regardless of the success or failure of this assassination, all members must not be injured in any way.Xu Chu's arrest was a big deal.Hurrying back to the inn, he woke up the smartest subordinate overnight and told him to go back to report the news, and he waited here with the others, and rescued Xu Chu if he had the chance.

Long Fei was furious: "Bastard! Those who dare to arrest me, ordered the army to turn around immediately, and sent Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao to lead the army to seize Xiangcheng immediately. If Cao Cao dared to move Xu Chu's hair, he vowed to break into Dongjun , destroy him!"

Cao Cao's army had just returned to Chenliu when they received a message from Yingchuan.Before he finished listening, he became angry: "What does this Long Fei want to do? To tear up the covenant so soon?" Cao Cao's army also immediately turned around and rushed back to Yingchuan to confront Long Fei again.

Dong Zhao also didn't want to understand what the reason was.On the day they arrived in Yingchuan, news came from Dongjun Cheng Yu.It is said that one of the assassins who assassinated Cao Hong has been captured is Long Fei's general Xu Chu.Cao Ren gasped, and it was Cao Hong again, so he knew that this kid was definitely the stuff of bad things.Cao Cao was in a dilemma.If Xu Chu is released, he will not be able to explain to the tribe, and if Xu Chu is killed, the crisis in Yanzhou will be unsolvable.He sighed and waved his hands to let everyone back down.

In the evening, Cao Cao called Dong Zhao, Jiang Ji and others into his big tent alone, frowning, and asked: "What should we do about this matter? Xu Chu is Long Fei's man, and he can't be killed or let go. Do you have any?" What method?"

Jiang Ji packed his fists: "This time Long Fei made a mistake and sent someone to assassinate General Cao Hong, but we caught him. He should have nothing to say."

Dong Zhao shook his head: "Although Long Fei is insidious and cunning, the only good thing about him is that he is kind to his subordinates, so there are so many people who are willing to work for him. Xu Chu is his favorite general, and Dinosaur Fei will kill him regardless of the consequences." If you get entangled with me, Yanzhou will be in danger, but my lord don't have to worry, Long Fei is more anxious than us at this time, presumably he will send people to Yanzhou to rescue, as long as my lord talks to Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu should know how to deal with it."

Dong Zhao's guess was correct, but Long Fei didn't send someone to Yanzhou, but went there himself.On the second day after receiving the news, the power was handed over to Zhao Yun and Guo Jia.Long Fei took Dian Wei and Meng Shuo to Dongjun immediately.They wanted to use all means to rescue Xu Chu while Cao Cao hadn't returned, and they must not let their hands fall into the hands of the enemy.

Dongjun City is still as tightly defended as ever.The soldiers at the gate of the city carefully inspected everyone who came and went.Long Fei was riding Yufeng, with weapons and everything hanging outside, without concealing his identity at all.At the gate of the city, a soldier was about to step forward to stop him.Dian Wei stared at him, and snorted coldly, the frightened boy backed away quickly.Long Fei didn't even look at him, and rode his horse into the city with a gloomy expression.

Chen Dao greeted him at the gate of the city.Ever since he stepped into Dongjun City, Long Fei's complexion was not good.Chen Dao didn't dare to say a word, and followed Long Fei silently.Just as his buttocks were sitting firmly, Long Fei glared at Chen Dao: "What's going on?"

Chen Dao then recounted the process of assassinating Cao Hong and visiting Cao Hong's mansion at night.Long Fei was furious: "You can't even distinguish such an obvious trap? Is this how Heibing taught you to assassinate?"

Chen Dao hastily knelt down: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish the general!"

"Hmph! You can rescue Xu Chu by punishing you!" Long Fei panted coldly: "Get up! How is Xu Chu now? Where is he being held?"

Chen Dao hurriedly said: "After being taken away by Cheng Yu, he was put in the prison of the yamen, and 100 people from Cao Cao's guards were specially mobilized to guard it day and night. I have visited several times, and the security is so tight that it is difficult to get close."

"Is there anything you can do to Xu Chu?"

"Yes! The Cao family's nephews have been there once or twice to torture them, but since Cheng Yu said it, no one has gone there again!"

"Torture?" Long Fei was angry: "The person who treats me like this will definitely be repaid double! Who are they? Where do they live?"

"Headed by Cao Xiu, there are several nephews of the Cao family, I have ordered people to record them all, and wait for the master to decide!"

"Send someone to deal with them tonight!"

"Think twice, general!" Meng Shuo hurriedly said: "General, we are here to take care of Xu Chu. If we do this, we may expose our identity, and it will be even more detrimental to saving General Xu Chu. We should wait until General Xu Chu is rescued before taking action!"

Long Fei thought about it, and what Meng Shuo said was still reasonable, and he snorted coldly: "That's right! Write it down first, this account will definitely be settled!"

Cheng Yu felt a little troubled when he received Cao Cao's vague reply.It seems that Cao Cao wanted to let him go, but it would hurt the face of the Cao family, so he left this problem to himself.No matter what the final outcome is, Cheng Yu must be the one to blame.If Xu Chu is released, the Cao family will not let him go, and if Dianwei Longfei is killed, they will not let him go.

Just when Cheng Yu hesitated, Xi Zhicai patted Cheng Yu's shoulder lightly.Cheng Yu shuddered, turned around and saw that it was Xi Zhicai, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhicai, you surprised me!"

"Brother Zhongde, what's the matter, why are you so distracted?" Xi Zhicai sat down by himself without waiting for Cheng Yu's invitation, looked at Cheng Yu's face, and said with a smile: "But it's about the assassin?"

"Ask knowingly!" Cheng Yu handed the letter in his hand to Xi Zhicai: "Brother Zhicai give me an idea? I really have no good idea."

Xi Zhicai read it again: "Oh! My lord is going to let that assassin go! How should I explain to everyone in the Cao clan if I let the assassin go?"

"That's right! That's where I'm in trouble! What's your opinion, brother Zhicai?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "No, it's up to Brother Zhongde whether to let him go or not. If Brother Zhongde finds it difficult, why don't you hand over the assassin to the people of the Cao clan? When the lord asked about it, he said that he was forcibly removed by them." That's it."

"Brother Zhicai said it so easily! If this assassin is killed, our Yanzhou will be in danger!"

Xi Zhicai smiled: "If the assassin escaped from the hands of the Cao people, wouldn't Brother Zhongde have an explanation to everyone?"

"How do you say that?" Cheng Yu hurriedly moved to Xi Zhicai's side.Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and stopped talking.

The next day, Cheng Yu came to Cao Hong's house suddenly.Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are all there.Cao Xiu immediately stepped forward: "Sir, what's your answer? When will the assassin ask to beheaded?"

Cheng Yu looked helpless, and shook his head gently: "Your generals also know that the relationship between us and Long Fei is somewhat delicate now. Although the lord has made up his mind, in order to avenge General Cao Hong, he must kill the assassin, but in order not to be left behind Let's talk about it, let Long Fei take advantage of it, we need to find a good opportunity, if we can't kill him, it doesn't mean others can't kill him."

"Sir, you mean..."

Xi Zhicai whispered a few words in Cao Xiu's ear.Cao Xiu nodded again and again: "Don't worry, sir, this matter is on my shoulders, and I will handle it properly!"

Xu Chu was soundly asleep.Ever since entering this cell, knowing that he is dead or not alive, everything seems to have been let go all of a sudden.It doesn't matter whether it's Cao Xiu and those boys who tortured him severely, or Cheng Yu's teaching words.Xu Chu appreciated it as if it was a play.There is no concept of time in prison, Xu Chu sleeps when he is full, and eats after waking up.Fortunately, Cheng Yu had explained it before, so he should not be negligent. Generally speaking, he lived comfortably.

The cell door was opened, and two men in black suddenly barged in. Two steel knives were thrown at Xu Chu's neck, and his arms were stretched out.Xu Chu was a repeat offender, and he was wearing all the handcuffs and shackles. They were equipped with the configuration of a death row prisoner, and it was difficult to open without a key.He was taken out of the cell in a daze, blindfolded, and stuffed into a carriage.The royal hand shook the whip, and the carriage started slowly.

Xu Chu understood that his own death was approaching, so he didn't struggle and let these people manipulate him.The carriage was a little bumpy on the stone roads in the city, and the rough wooden boards felt uncomfortable.As soon as Xu Chu moved, someone immediately threatened: "Don't move, if you move again, I will kill you now!" Xu Chu didn't care at all, turned over and lay down.

After walking a short distance, Yushou found seven or eight black shadows standing motionless on the road ahead.I looked closely and couldn't tell what it was.It wasn't until the carriage had arrived that they could see clearly how many people there were.Hastily pulling the reins, the driving horse neighed and stopped.The people in the carriage immediately jumped forward and almost fell down.

Cao Zhen stuck his head out of the car, with a displeased expression on his face, pointed at the men in black and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you to wait at the west gate? What are you doing here?"

Those few people didn't respond.One of them said coldly: "If you let the people in the car go, I will let you go!"

Cao Zhen immediately realized that something had happened, hurried out from behind the carriage, trotted all the way, and disappeared into the night in Dongjun.
