"I... seem to remember you."

"Are you the grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng? When your grandfather Cao Teng was a captain, I met him a few times."

"It's just that you are like this..."

He glanced hesitantly at the five-short Cao Cao. Dong Zhuo hesitated for a long time before waving to the guards to let them loose Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao naturally got up from the ground rolling and crawling.

……

In fact, it's really no wonder that Cao Cao is short...you know, with his stature of less than seven feet, converted to the height of later generations, he would be more than 1.6 meters tall.

This big guy who is underdeveloped in terms of height per capita can't really be called a dwarf...

It's just a pity that, as the descendants of Cao Shen, the heirs of the real family of military generals, the ones used to compare with Cao Operation are naturally not ordinary stuff.

Especially those guys like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, which one is not over seven feet tall and beautiful in appearance?

After getting used to seeing these strong men, Cao Cao's appearance is naturally not considered outstanding in Luoyang's yamen circle.

……

"Bai'er, is it true that Cao Cao is here to present the knife as you said?"

Suspiciously glanced at Cao Cao who got up, Dong Zhuo was still a little suspicious.

But Dong Bai nodded quite naturally:

"Yes, Father!"

"He was brought here by me to find you, how did he become the assassin you call him?"

"Look, the long knife in the opponent's hand is so beautiful, and it is full of jewels and has not been maintained. It is obviously not for practical use!"

Somewhat puzzled, he said something to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Bai handed the Seven Star Saber into Dong Zhuo's hands.

And Dong Zhuo naturally found the rust on the knife after playing with it.

……

"Hiss... From this point of view, I blamed him by mistake."

"If you really came to assassinate me, why would you choose such a rusty long knife that is useless?"

Dong Zhuo thought silently in his heart.

……

"Then, father, after you finish reading, I will take this knife back?"

Blinking his eyes lightly, Dong Bai looked at the Seven Star Knife in Dong Zhuo's hand, with a longing look on his face.

The knife is different from ordinary military equipment, it is only about two feet long, which is suitable for a woman like her to use.

After just one glance, Dong Bai fell in love with this precious sword.

As for the rust on the knife, as long as it is polished and maintained by someone afterwards, the problem like today will naturally not occur again.

……

"Hehe, that's good, Bai'er, you can accept this knife."

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo also lost the will to continue to pursue, so he threw the knife to Dong Bai who was aside.

"You celebrated your birthday a few days ago, but I couldn't find a suitable gift for you."

"Now I will present this Seven Treasure Sword to you as a gift. When you go back, you must continue to practice martial arts. Don't be like your ineffective father who can't even lift the simplest weapon."

"Do you understand?"

There was a hint of softness in his eyes, Dong Zhuo patted Dong Bai's head just like that, waved his hand, and told her to leave first.

As for Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"Captain Cao, I, Dong Zhuo, will accept your wish today."

"You go back first, and I will find a good place for you when you go to court tomorrow!"

……

Hearing that Dong Zhuo finally let go, Cao Cao didn't dare to stay longer, but bowed his head and bowed to Dong Zhuo to thank him, and then left the Luoyang imperial city in despair.

After sending Cao Cao away, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then waved and called a soldier holding a weapon, and then said:

"You go and inform Niu Fu, and tell him to strengthen the defenses in the palace in the near future, such as today's situation, and don't let it happen again in the future."

"No matter who the visitors are, even if they are relatives of the emperor, let them wait outside the palace, don't come into this palace at will."

……

Hearing this, the armored soldier bowed to Dong Zhuo and planned to leave.

But just as he was about to go out, Dong Zhuo called him back...

"Oh, by the way, you go to our Xiliang military camp to find Fan Chou first, and tell him that I have something to arrange for him."

"That brat from the Cao family who just entered my palace...you let Fan Cong bring five hundred soldiers to find out where he lives, and kill him at home tonight, just say it's my intention!"

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo stroked his beard with one hand and waved the other casually, making the soldier leave the palace where he lived.

That's right, even after the exchange just now, and with Dong Bai as a guarantee, Dong Zhuo still felt somewhat resistant to Cao Cao's behavior just now, and was even a little wary.

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

And if he remembered correctly... just now when he just woke up in a daze, he saw a trace of murderous intent in Cao Cao's eyes.

Even though it might be his hallucination...but Dong Joo doesn't care.

He didn't intend to investigate this matter at all, or to bet on Cao Cao's attitude towards him.

……

Since he came today and drew his sword in this hall, he is a threat to Dong Zhuo.

Who knows what the other party said is true or false?

If it was fake, who would Dong Zhuo find to be responsible if this person would intensify his efforts to assassinate him in the future?

It's better to take advantage of the other party's vigilance and kill the possible danger in the cradle!

……

It's just a pity that Cao Cao is not good at other abilities, but he is no worse than Dong Zhuo in terms of suspicion, or caution.

Dong Zhuo failed to trust Cao Cao, so did Cao Cao trust Dong Zhuo?

of course not!

……

After leaving the palace, Cao Cao braved the cold wind in late autumn, and there was still a lot of cold sweat on his forehead like a waterfall.

At the same time, he seemed to have finally relaxed, only feeling that his hands and feet were a little weak at the moment.

A few minutes ago, in front of Dong Zhuo, he thought that he was really going to die in the hands of the other party!

……

Now that he narrowly escaped death, not only did Cao Cao not relax his vigilance, but he was even more wary of Dong Zhuo.

After finding an inn at random, Cao Cao first changed himself into coarse clothes, spread out his bun, and pretended to be a poor family. He just jumped down from the second floor and left the inn through the window.

As for the original delicate clothes, he left them all in the inn.

After that, he didn't talk too much, but quietly pulled out a pony from the stable of the inn.

If it were the same as before, Cao Cao wouldn't even take a look at such a bad horse.

But now, it is obvious that there is no time for him to pick and choose!

Cao Cao, who was full of doubts about Dong Zhuo in his heart, just rode his stolen pony with a little gold and silver on his body, and left Luoyang City before the sun set, heading towards his hometown Pei Guoqiao County escaped.

……

Chapter 7 The Beginning of the Crash

What happened after that was very simple.

Cao Cao left Luoyang in despair, and fled all the way to his hometown of Pei County.

On the way, he also ran into an old friend from his hometown; Lu Boshe from the Lu family.

This Lu Boshe is also a warm and hospitable person.

After seeing Cao Cao, whom he hadn't seen for many years, he immediately invited him to stay in his home.

It's just that Cao Cao at this time has long been like a frightened bird.

After leaving Luoyang, he heard from passers-by on the road that Dong Zhuo had issued a hunting order for him in Luoyang, and even offered a reward worth hundreds of gold.

This immediately made Cao Cao feel a little bit desperate.

That night, after hearing the sound of knives being sharpened in the backyard of the Lu family, Cao Cao thought it was Lu Boshe who was about to attack him, and planned to take his life to receive the reward.

Cao Cao, who had no sense of security in his heart, simply took the first step and killed Lu Boshe first, and beheaded all the witnesses around him, and left Lu Boshe's home overnight.

……

It's just that this time, I don't know if his luck is better than before...

In the original world line, when Cao Cao passed through a county town, he would be recognized by the guards guarding the city and handed over to the local county magistrate for trial.

This time, he took country roads along the way, so there was no such trouble.

……

Of course, this can be said to be Cao Cao's luck, or it can be said to be his misfortune.

After leaving the border of Sili along the country road all the way, Cao Cao failed to meet his counselor Chen Gong who was said to be the magistrate of Zhongmu County.

Without Chen Gong's support, Cao Cao rushed towards his hometown alone.

……

Leaving aside Cao Cao's actions for the time being, in Luoyang City at this moment, Dong Zhuo, who failed to assassinate Cao Cao, was naturally furious because of this.
