The silence of the night has been completely broken.The camps of various princes are full of lamps and shadows, and people are constantly coming and going.Liu Biao could be assassinated in his camp, and they could be in the same danger.

In Liu Biao's camp, there was a gloomy cloud.

Wenpin held the sword that was stabbed from Liu Biao's chest, his eyes were full of hatred: "If I were that assassin, I would never be able to come and go like this without being noticed by anyone."

"There are only two possibilities. One is that the opponent is very skilled, like a ghost, no matter how tight the defense is, he cannot be found; the other is that there is a traitor in the camp, and he is covered!" Wen Pin suddenly raised his head. Staring at Han Song, "What do Master Han think?"

Han Song nodded: "Liu Bin's bad stomach is very suspicious." He has sent people to guard all the guards who are close to protecting Liu Biao, especially Liu Bin.Not too late, but at this critical moment, he had a bad stomach and ran out frequently. Even if it wasn't his problem, it was the problem of the people around him.

Wenpin looked at the sword in his hand.The sword body is tough, the blade is like snow, and the lines on the sword body are neat and smooth-this is not an ordinary sword!

He drew out his saber, held a sword in each of his left and right hands, and slashed together vigorously.The sound of the two swords clashing was not loud, but the sword in his right hand was cut off from the middle without a sound.What was broken was his saber.

Han Song looked at this scene in astonishment. Is this the legendary sword that cuts iron like mud?Such a sword is not something ordinary people can have!

Wenpin turned the sword body, and showed Han Song the two seal characters woven with gold silk on the hilt: Yitian!

This is also a clue.Although Wenpin suspected that the assassin used such an obviously extraordinary sword to assassinate, and deliberately left the sword at the scene to frame someone, but at least there was an additional direction for investigation.

There was a commotion ahead, and Cao Cao finally came in person.He must have got up in a hurry, dressed in light-colored homely clothes, with a mournful expression on his face, and when he entered the big tent, he saluted and wept a few times in front of Liu Biao's spirit, before he sent someone to invite the person in charge of Liu Biao's camp.

Seeing the sword Wenpin took out, Cao Cao's complexion changed greatly: "This, this is my Yitian sword!"

He loves the Yitian Sword that Chu Tianshu gave him very much, and usually wears it himself.This hunting was no exception. When Tiantian and the little emperor climbed onto the high platform one after the other, what he held was the hilt of the Yitian sword.

It was only at night when I was taking a bath and changing clothes that I was about to fall asleep, did I hang the Yitian Sword by the head of the bed.He remembered that when he got up, he still had the Yitian Sword hanging on his waist!

Cao Cao pressed his finger, and the sword from his waist popped out. He pulled out the sword and raised it to his eyes, his face immediately changed.The scabbard is still the scabbard of Yitianjian, but the sword inside has been replaced!

Cao Cao suddenly broke into a cold sweat.When he was about to take a bath, he took off the Yitian sword from his body and handed it to his personal guard.The person who can switch Yitian Sword is definitely the one who can get close to him.If that person doesn't want to assassinate Liu Biao, but wants to assassinate him...

Wenpin took a step forward, but was blocked by a big man: "Stand back."

Such an incident just happened tonight, Dian Wei and Xu Chu are both with Cao Cao, how can Wenpin be allowed to approach Cao Cao?What if Wenpin felt that Liu Biao was killed by Cao Cao and wanted to assassinate Cao Cao desperately?

"General Wen, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and not only give an explanation to Jingsheng and Jingzhou, but also to myself!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand and asked Wenpin to give him the Yitian Sword.

Wenpin took a few steps back, holding the Yitian sword tightly: "This is evidence, please forgive me for not giving it to the prime minister."

He didn't believe Cao Cao, if Cao Cao took Yitian Sword away and denied it later, who would he turn to for reasoning?Who would believe it?

Cao Cao heaved a long sigh: "Okay. I'll go back now and find out about the theft of the Yitian Sword, and ask General Wen and General Han to believe that I'm the one who doesn't want anyone to have misfortune in Xutian. .”

Wenpin gripped the Yitian sword tightly, and didn't say a word.

He doesn't believe any of these people's words!For the sake of the world, for the benefit, they can't say anything, can't do anything!

As soon as Cao Cao left, Liu Bei came with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and asked them their next plan with a sad face.

Han Song told Liu Bei about Yitianjian, and Liu Bei was shocked: "Cao Mengde pretends to be a hero, so he probably wouldn't do such a lowly thing? And if he sent someone to do it, why would he use such a conspicuous sword as Yitianjian? And still keep it?"

"I think Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers are very suspicious." Han Song said a word seriously.

Sun Ce and Sun Quan's father, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Jingzhou and fight against Huang Zu.Huang Zu was not his opponent, and was pursued by Sun Jian all the way. During his escape, he laid an ambush, and Sun Jian was shot dead by a hidden arrow in the bamboo forest.

Of course, Brother Sun Ce must remember Liu Biao's hatred.These two brothers definitely have the motive to assassinate Liu Biao!

This night, the lights of all the camps stayed on all night, and every family was discussing how to deal with it.

The next morning, Liu Xie, Cao Cao and the princes met again in front of the stage, and everyone knelt and sat on the seats according to their positions, with solemn expressions.

The guards lined up beside their lord, all vigilant, as if an assassin would come out at any moment.

Cao Cao asked Wenpin to stand on the open space in front of everyone and told the whole story.

"My Patriarch came here at the invitation of the Prime Minister, but Xu Tian lost his life! The sword that killed my Patriarch is the Yitian Sword that the Prime Minister loves most! If this matter is not clarified, no one in the world will dare to trust Prime Minister Cao." , who would dare to be Prime Minister Cao's guest!" After Wen Pin finished speaking, he held the Yitian Sword in his hand and showed it to everyone, his face full of anger.

There was silence in the arena, and everyone was staring at Cao Cao to see how he would explain.

"Come on!" Cao Cao waved his hand, and the soldiers around him escorted the two men up, and knelt them down in front of the crowd.

"This person is Yilang Wu Shuo."

"This person is Ji Ping, the imperial physician."

Wu Shuo bought the guards around Cao Cao, saying that he loves swords very much. He heard that the prime minister has a rare sword. He usually loves it like a treasure and does not let anyone play with it. He couldn't help but want to see this How powerful the sword is.After many efforts and many benefits, he finally persuaded the guard to let Cao Cao play with the sword for a while when he took it down.

Wu Shuo chose the time last night. After the guard secretly handed him the sword, he stabbed the guard to death with a sword, and secretly took the Yitian sword out of Cao Cao's camp.

But Ji Ping provided Wu Shuo with a laxative, which was given to Liu Biao's guard captain, causing him to keep entering and leaving Gong's room, causing a huge loophole in the entire defense and providing convenience for the assassin.

Yuan Shu frowned and asked, "But who is that assassin?"

The sword and the laxative are second. The most important thing is how did the assassin assassinate Liu Biao silently and get away without a trace?

Cao Cao also showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. Wu Shuo and Ji Ping refused to recruit at all. The conclusions just now were all speculated by his subordinates from various witnesses and material evidence.But there is no clue about the identity of the assassin, so it is impossible to speculate.

"Is the prime minister blocking their mouths because he is afraid that they will say something they shouldn't say?" Yuan Shao asked with a sneer.

Cao Cao was helpless: "I'm just afraid that they will insult you with their foul language."

As soon as he waved his hand, the soldiers took out what Wu Shuo and Ji Ping had put in their mouths, and Ji Ping yelled: "Cao Aman, Cao Mengde! You are actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty under the name of Han Chancellor! You are disloyal and unrighteous!"

But Wu Shuo said very weakly: "Prime Minister, are you going to throw me out to take the blame? I just did what the Prime Minister ordered, so what's wrong with me? His life? Didn’t the prime minister say that the assassination of Liu Jingsheng would frighten the princes, cause mutual suspicion and cause fights, so that we can reap the benefits? Seeing that the situation is wrong today, the prime minister is going to throw the two of us out to take the blame, how heartless!”

Ji Ping seemed to understand something, and the content of the scolding changed accordingly: "A traitor, Cao, you ordered me to prepare the laxatives. I am just an imperial doctor, and I follow orders. How do I know that you will use laxatives to harm people? Now that the incident happened, but you want to accuse me, I refuse to accept it!"

Hearing the names of these two people, Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun guessed who was behind this incident.Yilang Wu Shuo, Imperial Physician Ji Ping, Yueqi School Wei Zhongji, and General Zhaoxin Prince Fu are all members of the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" who participated in the Yidaizhao operation with Dong Cheng to assassinate Cao Cao.

In other words, maybe Dong Cheng was behind the assassination of Liu Biao?Does he want to save the country with a curve, kill Liu Biao, plant Cao Cao, and make all the princes who came to participate in the field hunting hostile to Cao Cao?

But now that Wu Shuo and Ji Ping have been caught, following the clues, Dong Cheng will not be far away when he is caught.

And in this battle, apart from the Yuan brothers, there were not many who directly opposed Cao Cao.

The two Sun Ce brothers were happy to see Liu Biao's death. Gongsun Zan might be Cao Cao's ally now. Liu Bei was always alert and best at protecting himself. Chu Tianshu, after guessing who was behind it, of course he didn't want to go into this muddy water.

Wenpin and Han Song stood aside on behalf of Jingzhou. After hearing what Wu Shuo and Ji Ping said, they looked at each other and frowned.They are not fools, and they will be fooled by such an obvious framing.

"Prime Minister Cao, we don't care who is trying to frame you, we just want to avenge our lord!" Wen Pin shouted sharply, "If we can't catch the murderer today, we will return to Jingzhou in mourning, passing through all the towns and counties along the way." The county will let them know how my lord was killed by the prime minister!"

A little guy like this has no value at all.What they want is the person who planned this matter, and the assassin who personally killed Liu Biao!

Han Song turned his head to look in one direction, and asked coldly, "But I don't know where you were, Sun Bofu last night?"If he took the Yitian sword and sneaked into Liu Biao's tent under the cover of the traitors in Jingzhou, he would be able to stab Liu Biao to death with one sword, turn around and leave!

As for Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan, he does not yet have this ability.

Sun Ce was sitting on his seat, as if he had expected that the people in Jingzhou would doubt him.He smiled softly: "Me?" His voice was pleasant, like the sound of jade and stone colliding, clear and magnetic.Chu Tianshu turned his head to look, and saw the young man sitting upright and kneeling.

He was born extremely handsome, with eyebrows like crow feathers, eyes like stars, high nose bridge, thin lips, elegant chin, and a slender neck surrounded by cross-collars—among the middle-aged people with big belly and full beards. Among the uncles, it is simply eye-catching.

"I have a new beautiful concubine. I played with her for half the night last night. It was quite pleasant. If General Han is interested, I can give it to you." Sun Ce replied casually.

Han Song yelled: "Sun Ce, you are too deceitful!" He drew his sword and rushed towards Sun Ce.

Liu Biao's new funeral made the people in Jingzhou very sad, but Sun Ce said such words with such a frivolous attitude, he was deliberately humiliating them!

Before Han Song could get close, Sun Ce had already stood up, and the sword at his side popped out like an electric bolt, clang clang clang several times, drawing a snow curtain, which not only blocked Han Song's attack, but also slashed fiercely, causing the Han Song cut back again and again.

There was a cold smile on Sun Ce's handsome face: "I want to pin everything on my head because our brothers are young and easy to bully!"

The sword in his hand was used like a big knife, opened wide and closed, whistling with a sharp wind, and smashed at Han Song, coupled with his slender figure and vigorous steps, he was full of domineering!

The author has something to say: Sun Ce is said to be the most handsome among the princes.His father Sun Jian is very handsome, he is even more handsome, Sun Quan is not as handsome as the two of them.

Chen Shou said of Sun Ce: "He is beautiful, good at speaking, magnanimous in temperament, good at employing people. He is a scholar and the people see him, and he will devote himself to death with joy."

The tragedy is that, like his father Sun Jian, he was also shot to death with an arrow.

However, Pei Songzhi quoted historical data and said that it is said that Sun Ce's injury was not fatal. The doctor said that he should recuperate for a hundred days, don't do strenuous activities, and don't let the wound open, then there will be no problem.But the injury was on the face, and Sun Ce couldn't stand it.He took a mirror to look at it, and couldn't bear his perfect face to be like this, and shouted, "My face has become like this, how can I make a contribution!"So he overturned the table angrily, smashed the mirror, yelled loudly, the wound burst open, and he died that night.
