outside the house.

"General Cao, my lord said please wait in the inner courtyard first! People can't speak well!" The servant explained to Cao Cao with an apologetic face.

"Hehe! It's really like what Wang Situ did!" Cao Cao didn't know whether it was contempt or what it meant, but without explaining, he followed the servants to the inner courtyard.

The Grand Tutor Yuan Huai and a group of people in the mansion were still talking about Cao Cao, "This lowly character dares to speak wild words. I think his name is Zhushou, and he is actually monitoring us for Dong Zhuo!"

"With this person here, I'm afraid the effect of today's banquet will be dangerous, so why don't we leave?"

"good!"

"Then let's talk about it in detail next time?"

Perhaps it was because of concerns about news leaks, or other reasons, for a while, the originally scheduled Thieves Elimination Conference ended in a mess.

The people who were still filled with righteous indignation just now rushed to find a reason and left one after another.

No one had the courage to challenge Dong Zhuo's position. Even the current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Huai, who was well-known all over the world, kept silent about the matter of eliminating thieves, which made Wang Yun feel heartbroken and helpless.

However, he is not yet desperate, because now he has another choice - he pinned his hope on Cao Cao!

Cao Cao did not disappoint him, and soon informed Wang Yun of his series of ideas.

It turned out that Cao Cao came here to borrow a treasured sword—the Seven Star Sword!

It was used to assassinate Dong Zhuo, because according to rumors, Dong Zhuo suspected to have a treasured armor to protect his body, making it difficult for swords and guns to penetrate.

At the beginning, Wu Fu was killed because he didn't pierce Dong Zhuo. In comparison, Cao Cao thought more than him.

Nearly a year!

Cao Cao approached Dong Zhuo step by step, flattered him, and gained Dong Zhuo's trust, just to assassinate him!

Now, Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and thought that the time had finally come!

Therefore, after a gentleman's agreement with Wang Yun, Cao Cao, who got the Seven Star Sword, finally began to implement the plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao, holding the Seven Star Knife in his hand, went straight to the palace and headed towards Dong Zhuo's mansion without delay.

The Xiliang soldiers guarding the gate were all Dong Zhuo's confidant guards. They had seen Cao Cao go in and out more or less, but they didn't care.

After all, Dong Zhuo valued Cao Cao very much, and these guards obviously saw it, so naturally they didn't dare to neglect him.

"It turned out to be Lieutenant Cao. The younger one offended me a lot, and I hope you will forgive me." The first person bowed respectfully.

As he said that, Cao Cao changed the subject and said with a smile, "Don't dare, in terms of hard work, it can't compare to everyone beside Xiangguo!"

When the guards heard this, they subconsciously stood upright, with a hint of joy on their faces, even the leader of the guards was smiling, after all, who wouldn't listen to polite words.

"Is Xiangguo in the garden?" Cao Cao asked.

"Here, Captain Cao was mentioned earlier," said the head of the guard, blinking his eyes, pointing, and said with a smile, "The humble officer saw Xiangguo practicing martial arts in the room a while ago, what will happen now?" I'm afraid I'm a little tired..."

Looking at his frowning look, it is obvious that the martial arts practice in his mouth is not the same thing, besides, is there anyone practicing martial arts in the room?

Ha ha...

"That's just right, Mr. Cao has something to see Xiangguo, and I hope this brother will report it on his behalf!"

"There is no need to report. The brothers are familiar with Captain Cao, but..." As he spoke, the guard leader's eyes fell on Cao Cao's hand, which was a long flat weapon.

He said with some embarrassment, "Lieutenant Cao, you know the rules, you are not allowed to carry weapons in this palace!"

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao laughed, pulled out the sword in his hand, and said with a bit of arrogance, "This is not an ordinary weapon, but a priceless treasure!"

In fact, as early as the moment Cao Cao drew his sword, those Xiliang soldiers had already widened their eyes. They were obviously dumbfounded. They saw that the sword, which looked like a sword but not a sword, was inlaid with seven treasures, shining with pearls, and Regardless of whether this weapon is peerless, those gems alone are enough to make people covet.

The so-called seven treasures refer to the seven kinds of purple gold, silver, colored glaze, water essence, giant clam, coral, and amber.

Gold, silver, and colored glaze are probably known to most people, and water essence refers to crystal, which was once praised by the ancients as [the essence of water], so it is also called water essence; Rare shell; remaining coral agate, roughly similar to later generations.

And the precious sword in Cao Cao's hand now is the famous Qibao sword in history, and it is also Situ Wangyun's precious collection.

True to its name, the Seven Treasure Sword, the Seven Treasure Sword!

"This... this..." Seeing Cao Cao put the treasured sword into the scabbard, the guards still had unsatisfactory expressions on their faces, and their throats were throbbing endlessly.

"This is the treasure Cao wants to dedicate to Xiangguo!" Cao Cao said with a little pride.

Only then did the guards suddenly realize, but for the sake of caution, they still planned to search the body.

"Sorry, Captain Cao!"

And just when those guards were going to search Cao Cao, they saw Cao Cao take the initiative to say a word, which was enough to show the strategy and courage of the future overlord of the Central Plains.

"Heh, you are doing your duty with all your devotion. How could Mr. Cao be offended? No matter how close Mr. Cao is with Xiangguo, he is still an outsider, and even if you are far away from Mr. Xiangguo, you are always on duty. Is there any difference between closeness and closeness! "

If Cao Cao hadn't said this, those Xiliang soldiers would have dared to search Cao Cao to see if he was wearing a weapon, but when Cao Cao said this, they would have been a little embarrassed.

That's right, Cao Cao is now deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo, but he is still polite to them guards, but now he wants to search him instead. Isn't this a slap in the face?

In case this person is upset and says a few gossips in front of Xiangguo...

Thinking of this, the leader of the guard frowned, looked at Cao Cao in embarrassment, and then said in relief, "Forget it, what kind of character is Captain Cao? He is a confidant of Xiangguo. How dare we offend Captain Cao?"

When he thought about it, Cao Cao would go to Xiyuan to meet Dong Zhuo almost every day, and he searched his body every day, but nothing was found on him.

After thinking about it, he let Cao Cao into Xiyuan, but he never imagined that Cao Cao's many visits before were all for today's aspect.

And this is the plot of Cao Cao, the future overlord of the Central Plains and now a righteous man!

53 The Strange Dong Zhuo, the Assassination Failed

Everything seems to be under Cao Cao's control, from borrowing a knife to cheating and infiltrating into the palace, according to the plan, proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, many times, the sky does not go as planned, and some accidents often occur...

Unfortunately, Cao Cao just happened to run into an accident head-on...!

Just an hour later, Cao Cao, who was originally full of ambition and thought that everything was proceeding steadily, was deceived in the process of implementing the last step.

Yes, you read that right, it is blinded (bi)!

However, the original intention of quoting this word here is not to swear, nor is it used to complain, but a true portrayal of Cao Cao's inner feelings at this moment.

To be more precise, his whole state... is completely dumbfounded!

Cao Cao's small squint eyes, which were not very big, were now staring wide open, as if his eyeballs would pop out of his eyelids, and he was staring at Dong Zhuo's neck.
