Chapter 1111 The Follow-up of the Assassination Incident

"Congratulations, my lord, you have burnt away the worries of your subordinates, and won back the unity of purpose." Ren Jun gave a deep salute, and he confessed all that was in his heart.Because he knew a long time ago that in the face of Cao Cao, he must never pretend to be smart, and don't hide it. It's better to tell what he sees.

After Cao Cao heard this, a look of satisfaction and joy appeared on his face, and he kindly called Ren Jun to sit down.Ren Jun was a little flattered by his affability as an old friend for many years. Afterwards, Cao Cao said frankly: "If Xun Wenruo and Cheng Zhongde were not good at singing double reeds, I would not be able to win the hearts of everyone so easily. But at this moment, it seems that this All my hard work was not in vain, at least I don't have to worry about the army's morale breaking for the time being."

At this time, Ren Jun didn't dare to answer casually. He had naturally seen that Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were too flashy today.But at this time, Cao Cao himself admitted that he knew that today's affairs were all planned.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Cao Cao's right-hand man played another trick in front of everyone.

However, he couldn't say nothing next. Seeing Cao Cao looking at him with a smile, Ren Jun said: "Minggong, since everyone's hearts have been conquered today, no matter if you press Youzhou for the last time, or just retreat here." Yanzhou, we all have the strength to fight. If so, I don’t know why Minggong wants to keep me?”

"Boda, you are right. With today's incident, we have indeed reserved some strength. But in fact, we only have this one chance, so we must cherish it and make sure that nothing will go wrong." Cao Cao's tone was unsettling. Consciously dignified, he slowly got up and drank the wine on the table in one gulp.Then, before Ren Jun could react in time, he took out a dagger and threw it on the desk!

Ren Jun was taken aback when he saw this, and then his expression calmed down again. He carefully looked at the dagger pierced into the desk.The dagger was shining with a cold light, and there were sparkling forging marks on the one-foot-long blade. It was obviously a high-quality sword that had been honed over thousands of years.However, this dagger still has flaws. Ren Jun, who has a little knowledge of forging, can see that although the edge of the dagger is bright, it does not have the condensedness after being soaked in fiery redness, and has an indescribably dark texture. .

"Ming Gong, what is the meaning of this?" Ren Jun asked for a long time, after he had fully familiarized himself with the information that could be conveyed through the dagger.

"Boda, tell me, where did this dagger come from?" Cao Cao asked, without any disturbance on his face or tone.

"It's made by the Royal Smelting Factory in the hands of His Majesty." Ren Jun replied, although he still wanted to confirm the basis of his judgment, but he could also see that Cao Cao didn't need to know this.

"That's right, Boda really has sharp eyes." Cao Cao smiled strangely, and then he pulled out the dagger and put it in Ren Jun's hand: "This dagger was also used when the seven assassins assassinated me a while ago. Use the weapon!"

"What?!" Ren Jun couldn't help being surprised. He suddenly felt that what Cao Cao handed over to him was not a cold dagger, but a red-hot soldering iron: the weapon made by His Majesty's Royal Smelting Factory today has become The murder weapon used to assassinate Cao Gong, such a fact, even a fool knows what it means.

"I can pretend I don't know about the surrender of Yuan Shao and Ma Chao before, but this is different." Cao Cao glanced at Ren Jun, and smiled as if to reassure him: "You probably know what happened. You know, I thought it was just a conspiracy played by Ma Chao to force our army to retreat. But now it seems that the matter is not that simple at all--what's more frightening is that I really can't guess now, the behind-the-scenes What an unimaginable story."

Ren Jun can understand Cao Cao's mood very well at this time - the relationship between the Cao family and His Majesty has always been kept secret by everyone.The two seem to be intimate and loyal.But in fact, as long as anyone with a hint of political smell can smell the extraordinary taste.

Now the Ma family's momentum is at its peak, and it is invincible.In troubled times, Li Shu regarded the Ma family as a new savior, and there were even rumors of "Ma Dai Han Dynasty", which made the Cao family and other princes in the world very uneasy.After all, Cao Cao is fine, he has an orthodox trump card of the Han family in his hand, and he can fight the Ma family upright... But now, something like this has happened, it is like provoking Cao Cao's most sensitive nerves.

"Boda, I hope you can find out the behind-the-scenes of this incident." Cao Cao said solemnly, making Ren Jun feel that the thin dagger in his hand weighed more than a thousand catties.

"Why did you choose me?" Ren Jun frowned and asked cautiously.To be honest, he really didn't want to be involved in the vortex between the Cao family and the Han Dynasty: "My lord has Xun Wenruo, Cheng Zhongde, Jiang Zitong and others in his tent, all of whom are resourceful and good at making decisions. Especially Xi Zhicai, who is in charge of Jing'an Cao is the best person to handle this matter."

But Cao Cao's answer was laughing: "You are my brother-in-law, so it's better for my family to handle this kind of thing."

Ren Jun was silent when he heard the words. He did marry a woman from the Cao family, but this was by no means Cao Cao's real reason.However, at the same time, he also knew that he had been in charge of farming affairs, had followed Cao Cao for many years, and had never made any major omissions.Cao Cao did trust him more.

"Boda, I know you don't want to get involved in such things. However, let me tell you the truth, Xun Yu is an orthodox Confucian, and he has some sympathy for the Han Dynasty; Cheng Yu is arrogant. Although he has great wisdom, he acts too much. He is too strong, he can't deal with such gentle things; Jiang Ji is suitable, but unfortunately his qualifications are too young, it is not appropriate to get involved in this matter too early; as for Xi Zhicai, he is indeed the best candidate, but during this period he I am carrying out a more important event than this. Right now, only you are the one I can trust."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao rarely had a look of anticipation in his eyes, and said softly again: "Boda, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Looking into Cao Cao's eyes, Ren Jun knew that he had no reason to refuse.

Cao Cao's face brightened immediately, and he untied a talisman from his waist and handed it to Ren Jun.It was a square seal made of bright yellow copper, with a tiger head button on it, which was firmly tied by a blue ribbon.

"This is the talisman of the Sikong Mansion. With it, you can go anywhere and ask anyone." Then Cao Cao warned: "But this matter must be done in a low-key manner, and don't make it known to everyone."

"understood."

"This time it's done, I'll give you the title of Marquis." Cao Cao said again, this time his expression was serious, not like he was joking.

But Ren Jun didn't answer, he walked out of the big tent with a dagger and a talisman.I happened to see a big-armed guard approaching.The guard was like a huge mountain bear, almost covering half of the camp.Ren Jun originally wanted to greet the guard before leaving, but in an instant, he looked at the guard and said, "Lieutenant Xu, I want to talk to you."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Chu looked surprised.

"About the assassination of Duke Cao."

Xu Chu's eyes became sharper, and Ren Jun felt it in his heart immediately, and he intuitively told himself that he had found the right person.Seeing that Xu Chu didn't want to say more, Ren Jun immediately took out the talisman and gave Xu Chu a look.Xu Chu pondered for a moment, and said that he is still on duty now, and his shift will be over in the afternoon, and he can go to the Suwei tent to find him then.

Ren Jun asked about the location of Suwei's tent, and then bid farewell to Xu Chu.Just as he was about to leave completely, Xu Chu turned his head and said, "General Ren, I don't think the assassination of Duke Cao was done in the shadow of Ma Chao. I know about Shi A, although in name He has joined the Ma family, but there is another order that can drive him to work unconditionally!"

"What order?"

"Sect Master Tianhua Sect's killing order!"

Ren Jun was taken aback for a moment, he naturally knew that the three sects of the troubled times were in this life and the next life.I also know that the Shenbu Sect has now been completely integrated into the Ma family, and the suzerain of the Tianhua Sect is His Majesty today...
