Chapter 948 Black Pot
Looking up at the gate of the Sanssouci Palace, it was pitch black, as if no one was on duty.Moreover, it was quiet inside, without any sound at all.Dong Cheng listened intently for a while, his heart beat gradually accelerated, and a very bad premonition rose from his heart.

"Your Majesty, the subject is here." Dong Cheng shouted, but there was no response for a long time. Just when Dong Cheng became more suspicious, an object was thrown from the top of the city, and after a few laps, it happened to stop at Dong Cheng's feet. side.

The bad premonition in Dong Cheng's heart became stronger, he leaned over to look with the lantern in hand, and found that it was a human head.The face of the head was very familiar, it was the one who should come to greet him at this time.

"Zongji?" Dong Chengchao took a step back, his expression changed drastically.The lantern in his hand trembled violently, and the candle inside could barely stand.

Suddenly, the lights on the top of the city were brightened, the armor clanged, and hundreds of figures rushed out at once.With the light of the fire from the top of the city, Dong Cheng could clearly see the face of one of them who had not changed for thousands of years.And behind this and that person, there is a face that turns all sentient beings upside down, and it is almost indistinguishable from male to female.

"Xi Zhicai, Cao Tai! It really is you..."

The attendants behind him raised their sabers vigilantly, but Dong Cheng regained his composure in an instant.Xi Zhicai is a man with a deep strategy, and Cao Tai is a leader among the next generation of the Cao family. Now that they have appeared in Miyagi, it means that they have already noticed Dong Cheng's plan.What Dong Cheng needs to know at this time is how much Xi Zhicai and Cao Tai knew and how much they stopped.

"General Dong didn't go back to the mansion late at night to rest, why did he go to the palace late at night?" Xi Zhicai asked condescendingly.

Dong Cheng flicked his robe sleeves, looking like an important minister, raised his head and shouted: "You are a talented person, why bother to be hypocritical. Today, I am entrusting my clothes and belts to hunt down thieves and eliminate traitors. You will be the minions of tigers, and you will not come down sooner."

"What a coincidence, I also have an edict here, saying that General Dong, you gathered a crowd to rebel, and ordered Xu Duwei to destroy it immediately." Xi Zhicai calmly took out a roll of edict with dark yellow borders. "I don't know the army in Beijing, which edict should be followed."

Dong Cheng sneered and said, "Your Majesty, please come to the court to make a holy judgment, won't you know?"

Dong Cheng was indeed confident, even if Suwei was controlled by the Cao family, Dong Cheng had the greatest military power in the entire Xudu.As long as Wang Fu captures Cao's family members and rushes here, even if Xi Zhicai has all kinds of means, he can only bow his head to His Majesty.

However, at this moment, Cao Tai was standing at the top of the city leisurely and leisurely, looking in no hurry, and asked Xi Zhicai intentionally or unintentionally: "Xi Gong Cao, you said five hundred tiger and leopard riders, against fifteen hundred miscellaneous Bing, how long will it take?"

"Xi Mou is not a member of the army, but if I let my officials speculate, the time for two sticks of incense is enough." Xi Zhicai said solemnly, his expression made people think that he was just telling a fact.

"I also feel the same way, and the journey for the chariot general to enter the palace is about two sticks of incense. Now it seems that the battle on Zhuque Street should be over..." Cao Tai said this lightly, looking at it with a smile He glanced at Dong Cheng at the bottom of the wall.

Dong Cheng suddenly understood what the two men were talking about.However, his face remained motionless, waiting for the development of the situation—unfortunately, what he couldn't stop was that his heart was beating more and more weakly because of the conversation between the two.

But at this moment, a rush of horseshoes came from a distance, and Dong Cheng quickly turned his head to look.The people came one by one, and there were bloodstains all over their bodies.

"General Dong..." Wang Fu shouted from his horse, "There are still five hundred tiger and leopard riders in Xudu City!"

Dong Cheng's heartstrings twitched suddenly, as if he heard Yu Sui's voice: the painstaking strategy of emptying Xudu's soldiers and horses was resolved by Cao's treacherous officials with a trick out of nothing.

All the hopes of the Han Dynasty were completely shattered!

Dong Cheng raised his head again, his expression became distorted: "Xi Zhicai, Cao Tai, you traitors, you must die!"

The torches on the top of the city were flickering, and Xi Zhicai's expression seemed to be erratic.Facing Dong Cheng's curse, he did not answer, but stretched out his hand, threw the imperial edict in his hand into the city, and said loudly: "Dong Cheng accepts the edict."

Dong Cheng's shoulders trembled slightly. From the moment he heard the news about the tiger and leopard rider, he knew that his plan had collapsed.But the dignity of being a chariot and cavalry general does not allow him to be disrespectful in front of the enemy.He leaned over to pick up the imperial edict from the ground, opened the scroll and read it, it was nothing more than clichés, but what surprised him most was that the seal on the signature was four inches in size, and there was His Majesty's private seal.

It is exactly the same as the seal in the clothing belt edict, there is no difference!

Could it be that the emperor has also been controlled by them?No, it's not that the emperor was controlled, but the emperor was already under their control... Dong Cheng's thoughts were spinning rapidly.

Afterwards, a sharp whistling sound passed through his ears, Dong Cheng was startled and looked back, and saw the expressions of all the followers behind him suddenly froze, and at least a few crossbow arrows were shot on their bodies and died!Especially Wang Fu, who received the most attention, was pierced by thousands of arrows. Before he died, Dong Cheng also saw the unwillingness and anger in his eyes of "willing to kill the enemy, but unable to return to heaven"!
"Cao Tai!" Dong Cheng was suddenly furious. He felt the blood under his feet being drank by the dry stone bricks, and he couldn't help shouting hoarsely: "Who is it? Tell me, who is it?!"

Xi Zhicai and Cao Tai naturally knew what Dong Cheng was asking.As a result, Cao Tai took a step forward and said, "It's really sad, until now, you don't know who died..."

As soon as he said this, Xi Zhicai turned his head and glared at Cao Tai, but the playfulness on Cao Tai's face disappeared immediately, and he looked at Dong Cheng with pity, and said nothing again.

"Cao Tai, tell me, who actually betrayed us?" Dong Cheng stood under the top of the wall, almost wanting to jump up to the top of the wall and question Cao Tai: "Even if you know our plan, you can't know it in such detail. Among them, there must be a traitor who told you all the plans!"

Faced with such a shocking change, countless faces of people flashed before Dong Cheng's eyes: Wu Shuo?Wu Zilan?Jiping?Yang Biao? ... No, none of these are possible, none of them have any reason to betray the Han family!
However, just when Dong Cheng was about to go crazy, an old man slowly appeared at the top of the city and said, "General Dong, it's the old man who is sorry for you."

"Yang Biao?!" Dong Cheng looked at the top of the city in disbelief, he could hardly believe his eyes: Yang Biao has been acting as the most behind-the-scenes planner in this plan.All the details that Dong Cheng couldn't care about were handled by Yang Biao.It can be said that Yang Biao is the mastermind of this mutiny, and his role is far greater than that of Dong Cheng!
But it was this mastermind who actually gave up his torso and sold it to Mrs. Cao!

"Why?" Dong Cheng yelled, at this moment, he no longer had the demeanor of an important official of the Han Dynasty, but more like a wild beast whose mind was overwhelmed by anger.

"No reason, just be an old man greedy for power." Yang Biao spoke again slowly, and then walked back behind the shadows.

Dong Cheng, who was about to burst into tears, suddenly froze his expression after this sentence. He stared at Yang Biao's back in a daze, unable to say a word——Would Yang Biao be greedy for power?This is simply a big joke!
"Yang Biao, don't you even have the courage to answer me?!" Dong Cheng finally shouted with all his strength.

However, what he got in return was Cao Tai's extremely cold answer: "Come here, catch the traitor and go to prison!"

The city gate finally opened, but Dong Cheng couldn't take half a step. He was captured by Xu Duwei, who was like a wolf and a tiger, like being caught by a walking dead, only his mouth was murmuring.At this time, Xu Duwei beside him, if he listened carefully, he could hear Dong Cheng saying: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent...I'm sorry for the Han Dynasty."

"Old Yang, thank you for your hard work, I let you take the blame for me." At this time, the big man emperor said to Yang Biao in the bedroom.

"As a Han official, I should be loyal to the Han family." For some reason, Yang Biao said these words leisurely.It fell into Liu Xie's ears, but he couldn't tell whether it was sincerity or irony.
