Chapter 459 Fury
In an instant, Yuan Shu seemed to be getting old. Ji Ling clearly saw that Yuan Shu's back was a little rickety and his expression was weak. He didn't have the spirit when he became emperor.
Since the failure of the last battle, Yuan Shu has been staying in the palace all day. He sings all night and does not think about the military and politics. The officials and generals are in danger. The number of concubines in the harem has doubled. What is Yuan Shu thinking about all day long? When he goes to the concubine at night, there are quite a lot of people who are proud and happy.
On the surface of calm Xuzhou, the undercurrent is surging. The Cao family, the Chen family and the Mi family, are doing their best to fight for military power and officials. Judging from Tao Qian's tone, Xuzhou is determined to give up to Liu Bei.
The two conditions of generosity and generosity and royal family, together, made Tao Qian choose Liu Bei and instead hang his children aside. In the bottom of his heart, Tao Qian still regards himself as a loyal minister. When the emperor asked for food and fodder from the states, Tao Qian did not hesitate to sell the grain and fodder in the warehouse to the royal family, which was better than Jia Rong. I don't know how many times the wine is stronger.
In the study of Zhou Mufu, Tao Qian put down the books in his hand and praised, "Chang'an made these books much more comfortable than Shujian. If I had this kind of books when I was young, I didn't need a carriage when I moved."
Liu Bei laughed and said, "What Lord Tao said is very true. It is rumored that there are countless strange things in the Chang'an craftsman's workshop. The fairy love moonlight cup is all out of this, and I don't know where Jia Rong wants to make these things."
"Xuan De, no matter what the means, as long as you can have strength, it is a good means. Jia Rong was just a small lieutenant behind Dong Zhuo, but now he has become a famous general of a man. Compared with you, Jia Rong's background is worse, and he is a hero in troubled times." Tao Qian sighed.
Referring to Jia Rong's family history, Liu Bei's face showed exclamation, "Jia Rong is also very human."
"I'm old, and there is no one in the Tao family who can provoke Xuzhou. Tomorrow I will mention once again that Xuande will serve as Xuzhou Pastoral, and I will resign this time." Tao Qiandao.
Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Your excellency, why do you have to do this? Now Cao Cao is fighting against Yuan Shu. It is difficult to take care of Xuzhou for a while. I will try my best to assist you."
"I don't have much time." Tao Qian said with a flat face.
"I will also do my best to assist the prince to govern Xuzhou!" Liu Bei's face was sincere.
Tao Qian stared at Liu Bei for a moment and laughed happily, "Xuan De is indeed a benevolent and righteous person. None of the descendants of the Tao family can achieve it. Only deliver Xuande."
"I just hope that Xuande can be kind to the Tao family." Tao Qian finished his words and closed his eyes without saying anything.
Liu Bei bowed his hand and left the study.
Jia Rong is not worried about all kinds of changes in Xuzhou. He just needs to completely arrange the Mi family before leaving and take the life of Cao Yan by the way. The more chaotic Xuzhou is, the more calm the Xiliang army will develop.
In the dark night, soldiers in a hurry can be seen everywhere in Xuzhou, rushing to the gates of Xuzhou.
At this time, the Mi family had already arranged everything properly. Mi Zhu's prestige in Xuzhou was not a joke. Most of the soldiers in the army obeyed his orders. On the surface, Cao Baoxu and the snake, and the movement about Cao Bao had already spread to Mi Zhu's hands.
Looking at the shadow not far away, Jia Rong's body lying in the sun couldn't help moving.
"You must know what's wrong with my eldest brother. He actually asked me to leave Xuzhou with you and believed in a wandering murderer." Mi Huan said dissatisfiedly.
Jia Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't this exactly what you want? You are still complaining here. Be careful that I go to Mi Zhu and tell him that you don't want to go."
"I thought I wanted to take you, but I was just a dragging oil bottle." Jia Rong muttered.
"What is the oil bottle?" Mi Huan asked with his eyes flashing.
Jia Rong made a mistake and accidentally came up with a new term.
"Who the hell are you? Don't lie to me about what a Jianghu killer has killed hundreds of people." Mi Huan stared at Jia Rong and said, "My eldest brother will definitely not hand me over to a murderer, and my eldest brother is respectful to you. Don't hide it from me, or I will give you an order that you can't get out of Mi's house."
Jia Rong took a look at the strange Mihuan and smiled and said, "The Mi family is now difficult to protect themselves in Xuzhou. They are still playing with the young lady's temper here, which makes me angry. They turn around and leave. Unfortunately, it's your Mi family." Closing his eyes and humming an unknown song, Jia Rong ignored the ring on the edge of the rampage.
Mi Huan muttered dissatisfiedly, "Nonsense, my eldest brother is Xuzhou. Don't drive, but you can't protect yourself. You are just a murderer in exile."
Jia Rong did not argue. He closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be thinking about something.
The days in Mifu seem to be calm, but in fact it is not that simple. After a loss, Cao Bao's actions will become more secretive. This is not Chang'an. Although the Lone Wolf's ability is very strong, it can't cover the sky with one hand in Xuzhou City.
Late at night, Cao's house was still brightly lit. A team of armored soldiers patrolled back and forth. The defense could be extremely strict in the city. The three men in black took advantage of the night and gently climbed over the courtyard wall, with only a slight sound of landing.
The man in black touched Cao Yan's residence and avoided the soldiers along the way.
There was a woman's cry and a man's heavy gasp in the room. The man in black frowned slightly, pulled out the dagger, gently opened the door, and dodged inside. The other two people in black guarded outside the door with a guard.
" Mr. Cao is really so elegant. He doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and still harms the good girl here." The man in black glanced at the two people who were naked and entangled under the red candle and said with a smile.
Cao Yan was shocked when he heard the words and pushed the woman beside him away. He was about to shout. A dagger gently touched his neck. "Don't scream, my hand is sometimes unstable."
The man in black looked at the woman beside him and said, "Put on your clothes, don't make a sound."
The woman looked at the man in black in horror, nodded blankly, and then picked up her clothes.
The man in black turned his eyes to Cao Yan and smiled, "I'm also entrusted to take your life. Don't blame me for being cruel."
Cao Yan's face was pale and he begged, "This hero, the Cao family still has a lot of family assets. If you don't give up, just go and get it. Please forgive me."
The man in black shook his head gently: "That won't work. It's the rule of our industry to take people's money to eliminate disasters."
"How much money does the buyer give you? I'm willing to pay double, no, five times." Cao Yan said hurriedly.
"Five million." The man in black whispered, "Five times is 25 million yuan."
The woman beside her had long been stunned by such a conversation. She had never seen so much money in her life. She held her mouth tightly with both hands for fear of making a little noise, which made the man in black dissatisfied and did not realize that she was not even aware of it all over her body.
Cao Yan's eyes turned slightly, "This hero, my Cao family is willing to pay 30 million yuan."
The man in black smiled, looked at the woman next to him, showed his white teeth and said, "I still want to take your life."
Cao Yan looked excited and said in horror, "You can't kill me. My father is General Xuzhou. You can't run away."
In the night, the voice seemed a little abrupt, and only the shouts of many soldiers came from outside.
The man in black's face changed slightly. He mercilessly scratched the dagger across Cao Yan's neck and brought a touch of blood. Cao Yan covered the neck that was constantly bleeding, opened his eyes, and reluctantly looked at the world that gradually became gray.
Looking at Cao Yan, who was lying in a pool of blood and trembling gently, the woman screamed and couldn't help her inner panic and struggled to escape to the door.
The man in black looked at the woman pitifully, crossed the dagger without mercy, and walked out of Cao Yan's room without looking back.
The soldiers who heard the news from Cao's house saw a dark shadow rushing out of Cao Yan's room and hurriedly followed up, but the man in black was extremely fast and very familiar with Cao's house. After a few turns, there was no trace, and the shouts of soldiers kept coming from Cao's house.
Cao Yan died under the defense of dense soldiers. Cao Bao was on the verge of rage, and his face was surprisingly ugly. The Cao family was the only seed of Cao Yan, and the heavy responsibility of passing on the succession fell on Cao Yan. As the saying goes, unfilial piety is great, but now Cao Yan's death makes Cao Bao face to face his ancestors. Tonight's Cao's house must be a sleepless night.
"It's all waste." Cao Bao was so angry that he overturned the table and shouted, "A bunch of rice buckets."
"Look, you must check. Even if you turn over the whole city, you have to find the murderer. I want to divide the murderer into five pieces, remove eight pieces, and hang it at the gate." Cao Bao roared.
"No!" The generals in the room answered in unison.
In Xuzhou City, hurried soldiers broke the silence of the past. The city gate was closed and the soldiers were rampant. Merchants' goods were knocked over, but these soldiers did not look back and continued to rush. The city turned into chickens and dogs, but some soldiers came, and the people hurriedly fled.
In the state pastoral mansion, Tao Qian said with an ugly face and said, "General Cao, immediately withdraw the soldiers to the barracks. Look at what the city looks like. The merchants dare not do business, and the people dare not go out."
Cao Bao said with a cold face, "Your Excellency, I can't agree. The child was killed in the house last night. I feel sorry for the only son in my Cao family, but he died."
Tao Qian also heard some news before, but now when he saw Cao Bao mention it, his face changed slightly, "Is this really true?"
Cao Bao nodded slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "No matter who it is, he has to pay for this matter." There has already been a conclusion in my heart. Mi Zhu must have known everything when he sent soldiers to attack Mifu last time. He didn't expect that Mi Zhu acted so fiercely that he attacked Caofu at night and killed his only son. This hatred is irrecongruous. No matter how much the price is, Cao Bao will not hesitate.
"Don't disturb the order in the city." Tao Qian sighed and waved his hand to signal Cao Bao to leave.
Originally, I planned to cede Xuzhou to Liu Bei today, but it seems that it can't be realized. How can strange things happen in Xuzhou, which has always been peaceful? Tao Qian showed puzzled. Could it be that the people of Cao Jun took the opportunity to sneak into the city?
It's Singles' Day. It's not easy. Let's update one more chapter. Let the big guys see it faster, but it seems that I was careless. I clicked to post two chapters yesterday. I'm sorry.
