At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Cao Chongzhi can be sure of this.

Those who rule the people with gods are fooling the people, and sooner or later they will overturn.

Forget it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I came here to increase my knowledge. Now that I can increase my knowledge, I can also exercise my ability and exercise my ruling thinking, which is great.

In this way, it will be more useful when I go back, and I can do more things to make my father proud.

Cao Chongzhi was very happy.

Walking like this, he could already see the location of the stone temple from a distance. Caracalla suddenly felt a little anxious and stopped the guards.

"I'm going to relieve you. You are here to defend. Chong Zhi, come with me and help me watch."

He got off his horse and walked towards the grove not far away, intending to put water there.

Cao Chongzhi also dismounted, followed him into the woods, and helped him look around from a little distance away.

It's not the first time anyway.

The members of the guard dismounted in twos and threes, surrounded the entire grove to protect the emperor, then drank water, ate something, looked at the surrounding scenery, chatted a little, talked about the gains from the expedition, and how to enjoy themselves after going back.

Julius felt that this was an indispensable opportunity, so while his colleagues were not paying attention, he naturally left everyone's sight and walked into the grove.

In the grove, Caracalla was taking off her troublesome armor and preparing to release the water.

Cao Chongzhi stood not far from him, helping him to look around to see if there were any perverts who wanted to spy on the emperor to release the water.

At this moment, Cao Chongzhi saw Julius approaching sneakily.

chapter 1490 one thousand four hundred failed assassinations

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Julius' sneaky behavior, Cao Chongzhi stopped Julius from advancing.

Julius frowned and secretly called for trouble.

For some unknown reason, this kid from the Wei Kingdom was favored by the emperor, and he was almost inseparable from the emperor.

The emperor was still willing to follow his advice on military affairs, and won several good victories, so his status gradually became higher.

Many people in the Imperial Guards admired this young nobleman from the Wei Kingdom who traveled thousands of miles to Rome. He felt that he was very courageous. He traveled far and wide without fear of storms. life, adrift.

This courage is very admirable.

By the way, they also admired the powerful and wealthy Wei Empire even more—in recent years, people have returned from the Wei Empire, bringing back a large amount of Wei Empire’s goods and Wei Empire’s knowledge, describing the Wei Empire as a powerful and wealthy paradise country.

Businessmen and officials from the Wei Empire continued to arrive in Rome to communicate with the Romans on a daily basis.

The exchanges between the two sides have become increasingly close and the relationship is very good.

Those who came back often praised the prosperity of the Wei Empire, various convenient facilities, and very delicious food.

The merchandise they brought back was also very popular, and often being able to buy an item from the Wei Empire was something to show off for a Roman family.

This is true among folks, and even more so among officials. A long time ago, probably in the era of Caesar, the Roman Empire was prevalent in wearing silk from the Han Dynasty, and it is even more so now. Many clothes and fabrics from the Wei Empire are being competed by powerful families. buy.

Any new fashion trends in Wei State, the Roman Empire could quickly know through maritime merchants, and then scrambled to follow suit.

Under the love of the house and the black, this noble young man from Wei State was of course sought after by many Roman nobles.

So this kid is very troublesome in various senses.

Caracalla's trust in him surpassed that of many people. Some cronies who had followed Caracalla for a long time could not get such trust. He even had to watch outside to go to the bathroom.

But now, this kid has become the only obstacle between him and Caracalla, without this kid, he can move smoothly.

"I want to relieve myself."

You can't scare the snake.

Julius thought so.

He could only communicate with Cao Chongzhi, trying to pass through Cao Chongzhi's obstacles and get to Caracalla's side smoothly.

"Relieve? Go to another place, His Excellency the Emperor is inside, don't you want to relieve yourself with the Emperor?"

Cao Chongzhi looked at him suspiciously.

I have long heard that there are many people in Rome who have prostitution hobbies. They don't like women and like to have sex. After coming here, you can see a few men getting together to have sex from time to time. The picture is almost impossible to look at.

But Cao Chongzhi never expected that these guys are even interested in that rough guy Caracalla?

This is too taboo, right?

Sensing the strange look in Cao Chongzhi's eyes, Julius could only immediately deny it.

"Um, that's actually not the case. I...I have something I want to discuss with His Majesty."

"matter?"

Cao Chongzhi's alarm bells rang out: "Wait until His Majesty the Emperor is done with his convenience and comes out. You can go to another place."

Julius was very helpless, but seeing the vigilance of the other party, he had no choice but to turn around and leave, thinking about finding another opportunity to do such a thing again.

He turned around to leave, but suddenly realized that he couldn't see the outside from the inside of the grove, and of course he couldn't see the inside from the outside. In fact, he only had to face Cao Chongzhi here.

No one pays attention here.

So if I suddenly attack and kill this kid, and then kill the emperor, no one can stop me?

There is no time at all, even if someone finds out and wants to stop it, they can't stop it at all.

Thinking of this, Julius gritted his teeth and decided to follow this idea.

If you don't do this, you will die, and you will definitely be killed by the moody guy like Caracalla.

If you don't kill him, you will definitely die!

right!Must die!

To survive!

After completing the psychological construction, Julius moved forward slowly while reaching out to his chest, holding the dagger hidden in his arms.

Then he turned around abruptly, rushed directly towards Cao Chongzhi, drew out his dagger and went straight to Cao Chongzhi himself.

In his thinking, Cao Chongzhi should turn pale with fright and turn around and run away in a panic.

As a result, Cao Chongzhi didn't show any panic on his face. Instead, his face was full of sternness. He drew out his saber, swung his hand, and chopped off the dagger in Julius' hand.

Then he chopped off his wrist with a knife, chopped off one of his hands, kicked him in the face, and kicked him to the ground.

"what!!!!!!"

The screams of Julius resounded around, startling Caracalla who was putting on her armor after draining the water happily.

The soldiers of the guards also noticed the screams coming from the woods, they were taken aback, and ran into the woods in a panic to check the situation.

Then they saw Cao Chongzhi holding a saber and pointing at Julius who fell to the ground and howled in pain.

One of his hands had been severed, and blood was spurting from the cut.

Caracalla also ran over in a panic at this time, and was surprised to see this scene at a glance.

"What's going on here?"

"He sneaked in here. At first he said that he wanted to relieve himself, and then he said that he had something to find you. After I refused, he suddenly attacked me with a knife, but I don't think he wanted to attack me, but wanted to assassinate you , Your Excellency the Emperor!"

Cao Chongzhi stared intently at Julius who fell on the ground.

"what?"

The guards panicked along with Caracalla.

Then they quickly realized something was wrong.

The emperor only asked one of Cao Chong to go in to help him keep an eye on it. The other guards had to defend the outside of the grove, and they never said they would go in, but Julius appeared here inexplicably.

"He also carried a short knife."

Cao Chongzhi's eyes signaled the dagger he knocked down to the ground, and everyone saw that it was indeed so.

Then everyone's face collapsed.

After a brief astonishment, Caracalla became furious. In a rage, she rushed forward and snatched the knife from Cao Chongzhi's hand, about to kill him.

"How dare you assassinate me!!!"

He raised the knife and was about to chop down.

Cao Chongzhi immediately stopped Caracalla.

"Your Excellency the Emperor, he should have an accomplice! You can't kill him! You must ask the accomplice!"

When Caracalla was told this, she immediately reacted, looked at Cao Chongzhi, suppressed her anger and nodded.

"You're right, this traitor is just one person, why did he kill me alone?"

Caracalla looked at Julius' fellow guards with wary eyes.

The guards turned pale with fright, stepped back one after another, then knelt down on one knee to express their loyalty to Caracalla.

"We really don't know what's going on!"

"Your Majesty, we really have no intention of betraying you!"

"Your Majesty, we are innocent, we really don't know why!"

Seeing their flustered looks, Cao Chongzhi felt that this matter should not be a group crime, otherwise they should have rushed to make up the knife at this time.

If the guards rebelled collectively, he and Caracalla would not be enough to watch, and they would be chopped into minced meat every minute.

At this time, Caracalla felt that everyone was suspicious, and the only person who could trust him was Cao Chongzhi.

So he clenched the knife in his hand.

"Chongzhi, what do you think?"

"It should not be the collective behavior of these guards. If it is not his own spontaneous behavior, it is someone else's instruction, otherwise the guards will not be so flustered."

Caracalla looked at the panicked guards kneeling on the ground, and felt that what Cao Chongzhi said made sense.

"You are right, you all get up, this traitor...I want to interrogate him myself! Arrest him! Bind him!"

"Yes!"

The guards were still in shock, and rushed forward to arrest Julius who was still howling, hastily bandaged his wound, then tied him up and tied him to a tree.

Emperor Caracalla held the knife and stared at him fiercely.

"Why did you assassinate me?"

Julius looked pale and said nothing.

"Who ordered you?"

Julius still didn't speak.

"Do I have any grudge against you?"

Julius moved his eyes, but still said nothing.

Caracalla was furious, raised her hand and slashed his right arm with a knife, drawing a bloody gash.

Julius groaned.

"Say!"

Julius still didn't say anything.

Caracalla got even more angry, and slashed at his left leg again, and a bloody cut began to bleed.
