The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Chapter 272 Undercurrent

Xun Yu cast his eyes on the belt around Dong Cheng's waist.

Dong Cheng's belt was very new, but when it was wrapped around the opponent's body, there was always a sense of incompatibility and abruptness.

Although Dong Cheng is the head of the state, he still wears simple clothes, but this belt is too bright, and it doesn't match Dong Cheng's clothes at this time.

There must be something wrong with this belt, and Xun Yu noticed it at a glance.

"The belt on Guozhang's body seems to have just been put on." Xun Yu asked.

"Your Majesty understands your hard work, so I reward you with this thing." When Dong Cheng heard Xun Yu mentioning the belt, his heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm and said slowly, but his tone was unavoidable There was a hint of tension.

This belt is really very important, the emperor's imperial decree to resist Cao is hidden in it, if Xun Yu finds out, the consequences will be really unpredictable.

Although many people say that Xun Yu is loyal to the Han, he is Cao Cao's man after all. If he finds the imperial decree in his belt, no one can be sure what he will do.

Seeing what Dong Cheng said, Xun Yu, who originally wanted to make the other party take off his belt and search, hesitated.He knew that there was probably something wrong with this belt, but Dong Cheng had clearly stated that it was bestowed by the sage, and he couldn't ask him to hand it over for him to check.

If I really want to do that, I really have no eyes.Even if Cao Cao were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't do such a rebellious act so blatantly.

"It's Xun Yu who is being rude. I am here to apologize to the father-in-law. I hope the father-in-law will not take it to heart... Xun Yu has resigned first." It seems that there is no result if I continue to ask. After all, Xun Yu has a gentle temper. Something too drastic.Now the only option is to retreat first, at worst, send people to pay more attention to the movements in Dong Cheng's mansion, and then take corresponding countermeasures.

In fact, although Xun Yu suspected that Dong Cheng and the Son of Heaven had plots, he didn't take it too seriously. Now that the Cao family's influence was deeply entrenched, it was basically difficult for them to do anything even if they wanted to.

Seeing Xun Yu leave, Dong Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Finally, he didn't show any big tell and was caught by the other party, otherwise he really couldn't explain to the emperor, and he would disappoint the emperor's trust in him.

But as soon as he left the palace gate, Xun Yu suddenly appeared in front of him, which also reminded Dong Cheng that his actions might have been watched by others.

Thinking of this, Dong Cheng couldn't help being in trouble. If he was really under surveillance, how would he hand over the emperor's imperial decree to Ma Teng who was far away in Liangzhou?

The imperial decree must be handed over to Ma Teng, and it must not be handed in too late. If Cao Cao has almost beaten Jingzhou, and Ma Teng gets the imperial decree, it will basically be useless.

After Dong Cheng returned home, he kept pacing in the room, thinking hard about relevant strategies.

The eagerness really made him come up with a plan.

Dong Cheng first took out the imperial decree from his belt, then copied a copy himself, and then put the copied copy into his belt.Immediately afterwards, Dong Cheng summoned all his retainers, and distributed a belt to each of them, asking them to hold the belt and leave through the four gates.

The news that there were many diners running around the four gates of Dong Cheng's mansion immediately reached Xun Yu's ears, which made Xun Yu quite surprised, and hurriedly ordered people to arrest these diners one by one.

After all the doormen were arrested, after a search, it was found that these doormen had an extra belt hidden on their bodies. After careful screening, Xun Yu found that the belt held by a certain doorman was actually the one he had seen on Dong Cheng in the afternoon. The one that arrived.

Taking the belt over, Xun Yu soon discovered that there was something hidden in it, and after checking it, he found that it was an imperial decree!

An imperial decree calling on Ma Teng from Xiliang to attack Xuchang when Cao Cao went south to conquer Jingzhou.

Xun Yu was sweating profusely, even though he was as calm as others, he couldn't help but feel rather panicked at this moment.

If Ma Teng really sent troops to violate the border at this pass, it would be really tricky. Although Chang'an was guarded by Zhong Yao, it should not be easily breached.However, Ma Teng and Han Sui have managed Xiliang for many years, and their strength is considered strong. If they really invaded with troops, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

Fortunately, I was aware of the conspiracy early on, otherwise, I would really have failed my lord.

On the other hand, Xun Yu also felt a little uneasy. The Son of Heaven obviously wanted to quarrel with Cao Cao by doing this. If Cao Cao learned of this after his return, how would he react?

Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, haven't you seen it through yet?Even if Ma Teng kidnapped you or occupied Xuchang, so what?Can you live a better life than now?Haven't you realized that only Cao Mengde is your best reliance?

So far, only Dong Cheng can be used to top the tank. As long as Dong Cheng can admit that all this is his own idea and has nothing to do with the emperor, then after Cao Cao's return, the relationship with the emperor may still turn around room for.

In any case, Xun Yu didn't want to see Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven fall out completely. If sacrificing Dong Cheng could bring about a relatively stable ending, that's the only way to do it.

However, a wise man is bound to make a mistake, but Xun Yu did not realize that the imperial decree he had read just now was not stamped with a seal...
