Cao Thief

Chapter 605 Death Warrior (22)

The second update is here, and I will ask for a recommendation ticket on Monday.

The commotion in the hall of Cao Mansion suddenly disappeared.

The whole hall became quiet and silent.The atmosphere went from joyful to dignified and tense, but in the blink of an eye.Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood in front of Cao Cao, watching Cao Peng and the beautiful maid in his hands vigilantly, their big hands seemed to be inadvertently placed on the sword at the waist.

In this hall, there are three people wearing weapons.

Apart from Xu Chudian and Wei, Cao Peng was the only one.

Gao Shun was startled for a moment, and then he glanced at the Tongjue on the table, his face suddenly changed.

He clearly remembered that the glass of wine in front of him was filled by the beautiful maid in the hands of Cao Peng.Could it be... Gao Shun's eyes narrowed into a line.The big hand placed on the table, showing its veins, is eager to try and attack at any time.As for Cao Cao, his face sank like water.But he didn't make a sound, just looked at Cao Peng quietly.He knew very well that Cao Peng would never make trouble at this time.

In Xudu City, it is neither Cao Cao nor Gao Shun who most hope that the Han Kingdom of the Lu family will belong to them.

The person who really hopes to be successful is undoubtedly Cao Peng.

The beautiful maid showed fear and looked pitiful, "My lord, how can a servant be able to taste such jade pulp?"

"I allow you to taste."

Cao Peng looked directly at the maidservant.

Cao Cao suddenly said, "Eat."

The beautiful maid was startled, her expression changed.

Suddenly, she slammed the jug in her hand at Cao Peng.

Cao Peng dodged his head sideways, but he didn't want the long skirt of the beautiful servant girl to flutter, and a foot shot out from the shadow of the skirt.The exquisite bow shoes, with a flash of coldness, kicked Cao Peng's chin fiercely.Nima, Shadowless Foot... Cao Peng was also taken aback, and stepped back.Unexpectedly, the beautiful maidservant took the opportunity to shake Cao Peng's palm away, and at the same time Cao Peng's arm exerted force, and suddenly flew into the air, like Ling Yan returning to her nest, volleying towards Gao Shun behind the table.From the sleeve, a dagger slipped out, with a blue glow on the blade.

Cao Cao was protected by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, so it was quite difficult to kill Cao Cao.

But Gao Shun...

Seeing the beautiful maid rushing towards him, Gao Shun let out a loud roar, regained the food table, and suddenly exerted force with his hands.

The heavy food table suddenly flew up and threw it at the beautiful maidservant.But seeing the beautiful servant girl in the air calmly, stepping on the table with her slender feet, her figure was raised again.Only this time, the target of her assassination was not Gao Shun, but Cao Cao on the other side.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were taken aback.

Because the figure of this beautiful maid actually passed over the heads of the two of them.

"Uncle, be careful!"

Cao Peng was also caught off guard.

He never expected that the maidservant was actually a master.Looking at her kung fu, I'm afraid she is not inferior to that Leng Fei back then.

In other words, her way of attacking is similar to that of Leng Fei.

Seeing that the beautiful maidservant was about to approach Cao Cao, Cao Peng had a quick wit and threw the saber in his hand.

It can be said that he used all his strength in this throw.The sword flashed a cold light in the air, and with a clang, it was knocked to the ground by the beautiful servant girl with the dagger.However, in the blink of an eye, Xu Chu had already stood in front of Cao Cao.And Dian Wei roared, drew his sword and stabbed at the beautiful servant girl.

Cao Cao's face was pale.

If Cao Peng hadn't thrown his sword to save him just now, he might have been injured by the beautiful servant girl.

Suddenly furious, Cao Cao shouted sharply behind Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, Jun Ming, Hugh let go of this lowly maidservant."

Xu Chu immediately responded, drew his sword and rushed over.

That beautiful maid's skill is indeed not bad, and her figure and steps are extremely flexible.Even people like Dian Wei, facing the beautiful servant girl, could not immediately end the battle.He was so angry that he roared like thunder, and the saber in his palm danced and whirred.But seeing the glint of the knife, the momentum is frightening.

But Xu Chu joined the battle group from the side, and the maid immediately lost her sense of proportion.

The two masters were attacking, and the maid was absolutely no match.

She took a sneak peek and found that the civil and military officials in the lobby had retreated one after another.

And Cao Cao and Gao Shun had already been protected by the guards, and if they tried to assassinate them again, it would be difficult to succeed.However, the maid found that Cao Peng was standing aside with his bare hands.There was a flash of hatred in a pair of beautiful eyes.She suddenly dodged sideways, and at this moment, Xu Chu came to her with a punch.Seemingly unable to dodge, the beautiful maid was hit by Xu Chu's punch.Her petite body flew out immediately, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, but with the force of Xu Chu's punch, her body flew out quickly, and the dagger in her hand flashed, and she rushed towards Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, be careful..."

Cao Cao was shocked when he saw it.

He hurriedly thought of going up to pick up Cao Peng's saber and hand it to Cao Peng.

But it's too late!
It was too late, but soon, the beautiful maid came to Cao Peng.

Seeing that Cao Peng didn't rush or dodge, he raised his arm, turned his wrist suddenly, with a bang, a steel crossbow flew out from his sleeve, and hit the shoulder of the beautiful maid.With such a huge force, the beautiful servant girl thumped back a few steps, and fell on her back.

"Tie Cao, I can't kill you now, and even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go."

While the beautiful maid was speaking, she flipped her hand and stabbed the sword into her chest.Her body twitched for a moment, her delicate face showed a look of pain, and she died immediately.On the chest, the blood was black and flowed all over the place in an instant.Cao Peng wanted to stop it, but it was too late.He hurried forward a few steps and came to the side of the beautiful maidservant.He stretched out his hand under the nose of the beautiful maidservant to snort, and frowned.

"Ah Fu, what's up?"

"died!"

Cao Peng raised his head while speaking.

"It's a dead man."

He stretched out his hand and pulled out the dagger from the chest of the beautiful maid.

A guard stepped forward and wanted to take it, but Cao Peng said in a deep voice, "Be careful, it's poisonous."

"Come here, cut this lowly servant girl into pieces."

Cao Cao was so frightened that he couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment.

Several guards stepped forward immediately, but they heard Cao Peng say: "My lord, wait a minute."

"Afu, are you okay?"

Cao Peng cupped his hands, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern, I'm fine."

While talking, he glanced at Gao Shun, and said seriously: "Gao Sima, please don't blame me. Just now I noticed that the clothes on this woman don't fit well, and the clothes should not belong to her, so I'm taking the liberty... This happened because someone wanted to destroy the friendship with your country. When she poured wine for Gao Sima, her hands trembled slightly, so I felt that she was a little abnormal."

The banquet tonight was arranged by Cao Peng.

All the serving maids have also undergone some preparations.

The clothes are specially made to order; and before the banquet, they have arranged for each person to serve the wine.

Cao Peng didn't expect such a thing to happen at first, he just thought that the maidservant was a little abnormal, so he stepped forward to stop her.Unexpectedly, this beautiful maid turned out to be a specially trained dead soldier.He explained it to Gao Shun, and then said to Cao Cao: "The Sikong mansion is heavily guarded, and this woman managed to sneak in. I'm afraid...in view of my humble position, it's best to find someone first to identify her."

That's right, the guards of Sikong Mansion can be said to be extremely strict, even stricter than that of the Imperial Palace.

It is really not easy for outsiders to sneak in.

Being able to sneak into the crowd without anyone noticing, and also taking on the important task of serving wine... How could this be done by ordinary people?Most importantly, how did this woman know that she was pouring wine for Gao Shun?and not others?Inside, there must be something wrong.

Cao Cao also calmed down at this time, "Let's leave it to Ah Fu to handle it."

Cao Peng agreed, turned around and glanced at the women in charge of serving wine in the hall.

"Come on, get the list."

Since it can be arranged to pour wine, there must be detailed records.Cao Peng stepped forward, came to a maidservant, and said in a deep voice, "Do you recognize that assassin?"

"Master Hui, the little maid doesn't recognize you!

Originally, Xiaoyu was responsible for pouring wine for Gao Sima.Before serving the wine just now, she suddenly ran over and said that Xiaoyu was ill and asked her to take over temporarily.At that time, the maidservants were busy preparing wine, so they didn't care...Young Master, we really have nothing to do with this assassin. "

"The lowly maidservant is cunning and needs severe punishment."

Xu Chu roared angrily, and the little servant girl trembled in fright.

Cao Peng looked at her quietly, then turned around suddenly after a while, "Sikong, I'd better invite someone to identify this woman's background first."

"Ah Fu, what do you mean..."

"This woman must be a servant girl in the mansion, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to know about Xiaoyu pouring wine for Gao Sima. Also, please send someone to search the mansion immediately. I think that Xiaoyu may have been killed by now. It is in the wine room Dead bodies must be found around here."

Cao Cao quickly ordered, "Zhongkang, lead someone to search immediately."

"Here!"

Without saying a word, Xu Chu rushed out of the lobby with brisk strides.

"Who is it that wants to destroy Gao Sima's life?"

Cao Peng didn't answer, but walked up to the maid, squatted down, and groped on the corpse.She wanted to find some clues from the woman.However, there was no trace left on this woman.The dagger, named Yuchang, is not the fishgut sword in history, but is specially made according to the style of the fishgut sword.Just as Cao Peng stood up, he heard someone asking.

So he sneered, "Of course it was done by those who didn't want the lord to make such great achievements."

His words made everyone in the hall shut their mouths.

Don't you want Cao Cao to get such a great feat?
Expansion of territory is definitely an unworldly feat.Even the emperor is very much in favor of this.Some people just don't want this to happen, who?In the entire Xudu, if there is one person who least wants Cao Cao to be a big leader, then the imperial party is probably the only one.Cao Cao's face was cloudy, but he didn't speak.His gaze swept across the veterans of the Han Dynasty in the hall, causing their faces to turn pale as paper.

"Hey, isn't this a little confused under the Fifth Young Master's sect?"

When a retainer was cleaning up the mess, he accidentally saw the body of the beautiful servant girl lying in a pool of blood, and said in surprise.

"What did you say?"

Cao Cao couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and asked sharply.

The retainer was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, "Little man, what does the little man mean...it looks a bit like a little confused under the Fifth Young Master's family."

"Show me carefully."

The retainer tremblingly walked to the side of the corpse.

He knelt down, identified it carefully, raised his head and said, "Sikong, it's just a little confused. I've seen... the little confused who grinds ink for the fifth son on weekdays. We don't know what it was originally called. But she always She is confused and loses things, so we call her Little Misty. That's right, villains will never admit mistakes... If Sikong doesn't believe it, you can find someone to identify it."

Fifth son, isn't that Cao Chong?

As a result, even Cao Peng shut his mouth, stepped aside and made no sound.

This matter seems to have become a little complicated.How could it be so good that Cao Chong was also involved?Cao Chong, haven't you already sent him to study in Yingchuan?Could it be that he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's arrangement, so he sent someone to assassinate Cao Cao?It sounds ridiculous, but it's not impossible.Since ancient times, there have been many cases of father and son turning against each other. It is not impossible for the father to kill the son and the son to kill the father.

Cao Peng believed that this matter had nothing to do with Cao Chong.

But at this time, he didn't dare to speak again, because he saw that Cao Cao's face had turned ashen...

Cao Cao clenched his fists, and after a while, he suddenly roared, "Where is Cao Zhen?"

"The end is here!"

Cao Zhen rushed in from outside the hall.

"You take people immediately, Xingye to Yingchuan Academy, and catch that rebellious son back for me."

"This one……"

"Why, are you going to disobey?"

Cao Zhenxin secretly complained.

He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "If you don't dare to be humble, you will take orders."

"slow!"

Cao Peng stood up suddenly and knelt down in front of Cao Cao, "Uncle, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Cang Shu. Cang Shusu understands the truth, how could he do such a treasonable thing? Seeing from my nephew, this matter should be taken seriously." There is something strange. I'm afraid even Cang Shu doesn't know the origin of this woman.

It's better to ask first how this woman got into Mr. Cang Shu's side.

If the lord has any doubts, he can ask his elder brother to go to Yingchuan Academy to inquire in person. Why bother to make a big fuss, it will be of no benefit to the lord. "

Cao Cao couldn't help hesitating.

He also knew that Cao Chong would not do such a thing.

But the assassin was recognized as someone beside Cao Chong.If he didn't make a statement, he would be misunderstood by Gao Shun.Glancing at Gao Shun secretly, he saw that Gao Shun's face was as usual, and he stepped forward, "Sikong, in my opinion, what Mr. Cao said is quite reasonable. It would be unsightly to pursue it with great fanfare. I'd better check it out first." , How did this woman sneak into the mansion, it will not be too late to ask the Fifth Young Master."

Now that Gao Shun spoke, Cao Cao naturally stopped insisting.

After a while, Xu Chu returned, "Reporting to Sikong, in the snowdrift behind the wine room, I found a naked woman, it was that Xiaoyu."

"Check, find out for me how this woman sneaked into the mansion."

Cao Cao was really angry this time.

Such a woman sneaked into the mansion, but no one noticed.

If she wants to assassinate Cao Cao, then Cao Cao is really very dangerous... Fortunately, Cao Cao is very vigilant on weekdays, Dian Wei and Xu Chu always have one to follow.If not... Cao Cao shuddered Lingling, and couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

At this time, an old butler came over.

"Sikong, this old slave has some impressions of this woman."

"Oh?"

"It should be at the beginning of the year. Once, the fifth son went out and brought this woman with him when he came back. At that time, the old slave remembered that the madam asked, and the fifth son said that when he and Zhou Buyi went to Fangshi, he saw this woman selling her body to bury her father. So I couldn't bear it, so I bought it back to serve.

That's right, it's this woman!
The old slave still remembered that the madam planned to let her go to the kitchen at first, but the fifth son said that she could read and write, so he stayed with him. "

"Are you sure?"

"Old slave is absolutely true..."

Cao Peng's face suddenly changed at this moment.

He stood up abruptly and yelled, "No!"

Before Cao Cao asked, he rushed out of the hall.

"Jun Ming, hurry up and take someone, and go with Ah Fu."

Although Cao Cao didn't quite understand why Cao Peng reacted so violently, instinctively, he still chose to believe in Cao Peng's experience.

Dian Wei agreed, took ten guards, and followed Cao Peng.

Standing in the hall, Cao Cao glanced at the corpse in the hall, then turned to look at Gao Shun again, with a bitter smile on his face...
