The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 291 Assassination
Cao Cao deeply agreed with Sima Yi's attention, and immediately ordered Sima Yi to take full responsibility for this matter, and within seven days to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice.

Sima Yi took the order with confidence, and was not worried at all about whether he could complete the task.

Cao Cao ordered the generals to go back and stay at home, and wait for Sima Yi to investigate clearly before they can regain their freedom.

Cao Cao waved his hand and left, all the generals shook their heads and sighed, and when they started to hold grudges against Sima Yi, they knew that flattery was a bad idea.

That night, Sima Yi took his two sons and a large group of soldiers back and forth through the streets and alleys of the city. The shining armor and cold weapons filled the night with a quiet murderous look.

All of a sudden, everyone in the city was panicked, not knowing what happened.

A sense of crisis permeated the air.

In a private house, there was a young man dressed in simple clothes peeping through the window hole to see the situation on the street outside.

After watching for a long time, the man frowned and returned to the house to sit down at the table. He was wondering what happened to require such an extensive search.

However, this should have little to do with him, because he has been away from here for a long time, and Cao Cao may not miss him.

Forget it, let's inquire about the news tomorrow!

The young man blew out the oil lamp after contemplating for a while, and then slept under the bed. Although it was difficult for people to recognize his previous identity after a simple disguise and disguise before coming, he was still afraid of it. It's better to be cautious.

Before closing his eyes and going to sleep, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tie Cao, I didn't expect that you really killed my whole family. If you don't avenge this revenge, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth."

It turned out that in order to find out whether Cao Cao was the murderer, he went back to his hometown to investigate. After many visits, he finally asked an old man who was hunting in the next village. Well, the Lu family even warmly entertained them. When he first saw them, he thought they were relatives who had come. He was very envious at that time.

"Cao Cao, it was in vain for my whole family to entertain you warmly. I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You killed my whole family. You are such a vicious person. You don't even have a little bit of guilt in your heart. You don't even have the face to say that you would rather call me a villain than the world." It is a shameless person who betrays me, a shameless beast"

The anger in her chest fluctuated, and Lu Ying slowly forced herself to sleep with an unparalleled murderous look in her eyes.

At noon the next day, Lu Ying went to find out what happened last night. After some hard work, he finally heard the gossip in the teahouse. It turned out that someone had destroyed the secret weapon Cao Cao was making, so Cao Cao was furious and appointed Sima Yi is the investigator, and he has a limited time limit of [-] days to thoroughly investigate the matter. The focus is on those generals, so the common people don't have to worry too much.

Lu Ying was shocked when she heard the news, she couldn't believe this fact, secret weapon?In addition to the peacock crossbow, what secret weapon can Cao Cao make?
Immediately, Lu Ying thought of her friend Yuexi. Before leaving, Yuexi said that she would help him solve the matter of Peacock Liannu, so now the murderer Cao Cao is chasing must be Yuexi. Yuexi really risked his life to destroy Peacock Liannu. crossbow?

Lu Ying was very moved. Yuexi really made friends with him sincerely, and he did what he said.

Lu Ying gradually calmed down, Yue Xi must be under investigation now, if Yue Xi is punished because of my affairs, or even sentenced to death, then I really have a bad conscience.

I have to do something to make Cao Cao think that I destroyed the Peacock Crossbow. Only in this way can Cao Cao not continue to pursue this matter.

Anyway, I came here to avenge the assassination of Cao Cao, and life and death have long been ignored.

After making up her mind, Lu Ying narrowed her eyes, "Yuexi, after passing this test, I hope you can leave Cao Cao. I don't want my friend to serve under the enemy's command!"

A day later, Lu Ying killed a soldier and pretended to be inside the soldiers. This soldier was a personal guard and followed Sima Yi.

As for whether he will be discovered, Lu Ying is not worried. He knows things in the army too well, and there are so many personal guards that not every general knows each other. This personal guard looks as ordinary as Lu Ying, and it is difficult to attract the attention of others. It is God helping me.

The guards are well-trained and are not allowed to talk and chat, so Lu Ying is not worried about being seen through.

By following Li Dian and Sima Yi, the chances of getting close to Cao Cao are much greater.

On the other side, Yue Xi waited calmly at home, but his breathing was slightly constricted. According to the news, many generals have been ruled out as suspects. Now there are only a few generals who have not been ruled out because there are no witnesses to prove them. There was no time to commit crimes that day, and Yue Xi was one of them. Now the guards outside his mansion are getting stricter.

Yue Xi is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die now, he hasn't made any achievements and become famous all over the world, how can he die so easily?
No matter what, you have to fight for it. Your life is in your own hands. He has no complaints or regrets in helping his friend Lu Ying. Even if he never helps, he will still help.

If there is no way to survive, then kill a bloody way out.

Yue Xi's eyes were a little red, and his resentment towards Cao Cao turned into hatred.

However, now is not the time to kill him. The murderer has not been confirmed to be him. He has always kept a low profile, and no one knows that his martial arts are hidden.

Escaping now will only reveal that the murderer is him, so it will be extremely difficult to escape, and you must not act rashly until the last moment.

After calming down, Yuexi gently inserted the drawn long sword back.

On the streets of the city, Sima Yi walked out of a general's mansion with two sons in armor and holding swords around their waists.

Sima Yi frowned deeply. At first he thought that the general was very suspicious, but he was mistaken. The general's evasive eyes were not because of guilty conscience, but because of bad eyesight.

After knowing the truth, Sima Yi's face turned dark, he snorted heavily and strode away.

"Father, there is a general's mansion in front of him. It seems to be called Yuexi. Shall we continue to investigate and interrogate him?" Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi, walked to Sima Yi's side and said respectfully.

Hearing that the investigation was getting worse, a soldier in the personal guard behind Sima Yi was startled, but quickly hid himself.

"Don't go!!!" the soldier begged in his heart.

"Yuexi? You don't seem to be very famous!" Sima Yi frowned and thought. He was in a bad mood today, and he didn't want to continue.

At this time, the second son, Sima Zhao, who was observing words and expressions, said respectfully, "Father, you haven't reported the progress to the lord after a few days of investigation. The lord is afraid that he will blame you. Why don't you go and report the progress to the lord first, and continue tomorrow. The murderer must be restless now. Now, maybe he is planning to abscond himself, if this is the case, we don’t need to bother to find it.”

Sima Yi thought so deeply, nodded and smiled admiringly at Sima Yi, "Zhaoer's words are right, let's report the progress to the lord now."

Sima Zhao was very happy to receive his father's praise, and quickly said, "Yes, father!"

Sima Shi also became happy. He and Sima Zhao had a good relationship, so he was not jealous that Sima Zhao was praised by his father.

Inside the personal guard, Lu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, he was so nervous just now, fortunately Sima Zhao persuaded Sima Yi to see Cao Cao.

And to see Cao Cao, isn't the opportunity to assassinate Cao Cao coming?

Thinking of this, Lu Ying tightened the long sword in her hand.

　Take the day off, so the update breaks out.
