"Hasn't she come back yet?" Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, wandering anxiously in the study.

Seeing the moon to the atrium, there is still no news.When I went back to the mansion to look for her, there was no one there, and I thought I would go back right away, but I didn't know she hadn't returned yet.

Hongxue and Luyi stood quietly by the side, how could they dare to say a word in front of him.

After a long time, Cao Cao glanced at them coldly, and the timid Luyi trembled with fright: "She went to chase the thief alone, so why don't you just let her go? What if she is in danger and there is something wrong with her?" , I’m just asking you.”

Hongxue was quite bold, and wanted to defend herself, but seeing Cao Cao's cold and stern eyes, she finally obediently knelt down on the ground: "This servant is willing to accept the punishment."

In Xudu Jiaofang, a woman in a lotus-colored light gauze dress is dancing to the Yuefu songs.

The posture is elegant, the footsteps follow the rhythm of the beat, the bright and moving face is even more captivating, and the amber-like eyes make the viewers envious.

"Liu Yuzhou, why do you have the time to come here for entertainment today?" After the dance, she poured a cup of tea for the brown-clothed man who was sitting at the bottom admiring it, and offered it respectfully.

Liu Bei took the teacup and looked at her with great interest: "I heard that Jiaofang has made a new piece of music, so I came to appreciate it. I don't want the piece to be intoxicating, but Miss Huanpei's dance made Bei amazed."

Huan Pei chuckled, leaned closer to him slightly, and whispered in his ear: "Although the music is not intoxicating, Yuzhou doesn't have to pretend to be drunk anymore."

"Bei didn't pretend to be drunk, but Miss Huan Pei danced like a celestial being, and Bei didn't dare not be drunk."

"Oh?" Huan Pei's eyes fluttered, "But does Yuzhou want to keep a low profile and be controlled by others? Cao Sikong is like him, his suspicion of Yuzhou will not be given up because of Yuzhou's obsession with sensuality."

"How could the dragon Liu Yuzhou be trapped in the hands of Cao Cao?" She thought about Liu Bei's expression, seeing that the other party's expression did not change suddenly, she knew that these words just estimated his intentions.

So she calmed down and said, "Cao Cao wants to put Yuan Shu to death this time, but Yuzhou doesn't want him to get Shouchun so easily. Did Huan Pei guess wrong?"

She glanced at Liu Bei nervously, but found that his face was still calm, as if he didn't agree with her words.

But Huan Pei knew that Liu Bei was not very human, and she would not easily relax her vigilance and vigilance, so she boldly said: "Yuzhou wants to escape from Cao Cao's control, and it is an excellent opportunity to pursue Yuan Shu. Therefore, Shouchun City must not be destroyed easily, and Yuan Shu must have a breathing space to escape, otherwise he will lose such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Liu Bei squeezed the teacup tightly, fixed his eyes on her for a while, and finally said leisurely, "What does Miss Huanpei want?"

"To be honest with Yuzhou, Huanpei loves power and position the most in his life, and the one he admires the most is Empress Lv, who overshadows the sky with one hand in the court. Huanpei hopes to use Yuzhou's hand to get close to Cao Cao to gain power."

She didn't hide her ambition at all, and said bluntly:

"If Liu Yuzhou can help my daughter get close to Cao Sikong this time, my daughter should do her best to repay it."

Liu Bei looked at her and gave her a vague smile, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Huan Pei smiled lightly, knelt down to him with a "plop", raised her stunningly beautiful face and stared at him, her charming eyes in Qiushui were touching, and her voice was gentle yet decisive: "My little girl swears here, if you are lucky enough to be able to If you get what you want, you will help Yuzhou get what you want, and you will never be ungrateful. In heaven, if Huan Pei violates this oath, she will suffer and die alone in the future."

"Miss Huan Pei doesn't need to swear such a poisonous oath. The only thing I can do is to give the girl a human skin. Then, the girl knows what you should do?" Liu Bei stared at her meaningfully. Her eyes seemed to want to read the true thoughts in her heart, and she smiled slightly, "Since you dare to swear a poisonous oath to negotiate a deal with me, you must understand what I mean."

"Then let my daughter guess, whether Yuzhou's strategy coincides with my daughter's?" Huan Pei glanced at Liu Bei, making a little test.

Seeing the latter looking at her with a smile without saying a word, she knew what to do, and continued,

"As long as the little girl wears the same pantyhose as Bian Sheng, the little girl will deliberately fall into the trap of the Yan family and Yuan Shu, and be a hostage to keep their longevity. It is impossible for Cao Cao to give up his beloved Mrs. Bian, I would definitely rather give up Shouchun than save me."

Liu Bei clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Miss Huan is indeed a hero among girls. It's just that Bei has been worrying about one thing. If this matter fails, the painstaking efforts of the girl's planning may all be in vain."

"Could it be that Yuzhou is worried that Cao Cao will willingly give up Shouchun for Mrs. Bian?"

"The most important thing for me, Liu Bei, to walk half my life is to be cautious. I will never make rash bets." Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, as if waiting for her response.

Huan Pei understood his hesitation, raised her head confidently and smiled and said: "Don't worry about this in Yuzhou, my daughter already knows everything about Cao Cao's mansion well. She knew Bian Sheng when she was young. Although he has always been a cruel and cruel person, he treats his Bian Madam is devoted to her. Just like Yuzhou, my daughter will not do things that I am not sure about. But besides that, I also want Yuzhou to do one thing."

After following for a long time, these people entered Xiangcheng before dark.A Sheng followed behind quietly, and saw them walking into a seemingly ordinary restaurant to rest.

A Sheng was sitting at a table behind them, an old man with white hair and gray beard was eating a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

Seeing a female customer sitting here, the waiter hurried over to greet her courteously.

"Guest officer, what do you want?"

Ah Sheng was not very hungry, so he just ordered a bowl of chrysanthemum jujube tea.His eyes were fixed on the speech and behavior of the person in front of him, not daring to miss any important information.

After a while, jujube tea was served, and Xiao Er humbly made a "please" gesture, "Guest officer, please use it slowly."

A Sheng nodded, "Thank you, brother."

"Where is the girl from? It doesn't seem to be from this place." Seeing that her accent was not from the local area, the old man at the same table asked her casually.

"I'm from Hanoi County."

"Hanoi County?" The old man looked at her with some sympathy, "I remember that the place was plagued by locusts in the past, and the tax collectors under the emperor still squeezed and plundered the people, and the poor people all ran away. Just like Shouchun today, the emperor Yuan Shu did everything Fish and innocent people, I watched all the victims who escaped from there being tortured until they were skinny."

A Sheng shook his head and sighed, in this troubled world, no one is destined to have an easy life.

"However, Yuan Shu's good days are coming to an end. The old man heard that even Jiangdong Sun Ce, who used to recognize him as his uncle, revolted. I think Yuan Shu is just a broken egg under the nest, and he will not live for a few days."

After the old man expressed some opinions on the current affairs, the bowl of Yangchun corn noodles was exhausted, and just about to continue talking, the waiter suddenly came over and ordered to evict customers, "Old man, your bill has not been paid yet."

Hearing this, the old man was too embarrassed to say any more, so he apologized embarrassingly to Xiao Er, lightly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, went to the clerk to calculate the money, and left.

At this moment, Ah Sheng felt that his throat was smoking with thirst, and he hadn't had a good drink yet, so he couldn't help but picked up the jujube tea on the table and put it in his mouth.

The aroma of white chrysanthemums came to the nostrils, with a slight spicy taste, which was very refreshing. She just took a sip and wanted to swallow it, when she suddenly felt someone staring at her out of the corner of her eye.

This uncomfortable feeling made Ah Sheng unintentionally glance at the people at the front table, and suddenly met the eyes of the two people who were facing her.

They were watching her in the dark!

She screamed inwardly, and hurriedly pretended to look around casually, these guests were still chatting eagerly, but she felt vaguely strange.

Not daring to swallow the tea in her mouth anymore, she moved her elbow quietly, pretending to accidentally knock the spoon on the table to the ground, and there was a soft "clang" sound immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ah Sheng leaned down while picking up the spoon, and gently spit out the tea in his mouth.

With a "snap", the teacup was knocked over, she quickly closed her eyes and lay down on the table, breathing evenly and pretending to be unconscious.

Almost instantly, a few people gathered around him very quickly, his hands were tightly bound by the hemp rope, and his wrists hurt from the rough feeling, but he could only endure it forcefully, not even daring to wrinkle his brows.

Their rustling conversation sounded in her ears, she didn't dare to say a word, and closed her eyes to remember their words in her heart.

"The potency of this medicine is very strong, she will be unconscious for at least three days."

"Cao Cao's army will surely arrive at the city of Shouchun within three days, and we have to tie her back as soon as possible."

"Using her as a pledge, the Cao thief will not dare to attack my Shouchun."

It turned out that they had planned it long ago, and this restaurant was waiting for her to throw herself into the net.

A Sheng was secretly annoyed at his negligence, and he should never have done it, because his momentary recklessness and stupidity became his burden.

She didn't dare to move, she could only close her eyes tightly, and she didn't even dare to breathe abnormally.She felt herself being carried into a carriage, and soon there was the sound of wheels rattling.

She secretly raised her eyelids slightly, peeking at the movement around her.

It was probably because they thought they were completely drugged and passed out, and there were only two guards in the compartment.All that could be heard was the sound of the coachman whipping the horse's back in front of him, as well as the whispering between the two from time to time.

It was getting late, and the old crows outside were singing mournfully.The slight moonlight penetrated in, casting lonely and colorless spots, mixed with the sparse and light shadows of the trees, and casting them on the inner wall of the carriage, and the shadows whirled with the wind.

The two of them seemed to be fast asleep, leaning against the window and letting out steady breaths.

She couldn't help pinching the sharp broken pottery in her hand. It was the broken piece of the spoon when it fell to the ground, and she carefully picked it up quietly.

The sword at the waist has been taken away by them, and only this fragment can save lives now.
