Chapter 3: The Horror of the Assassin
In the bedroom of Xiangguo's mansion, Cao Cao put the seven-star knife that had been unsheathed in his hand behind him, slowly came to Dong Zhuo's side, and called in a low voice: "Xiangguo, Xiangguoγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't react in the slightest, Cao Cao's left hand that didn't hold the knife tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and after going back and forth like this a few times, Cao Cao took a deep breath and raised the seven-star knife hidden behind him high.
&, what do you want to do?! β
A loud shout made Cao Cao, who was already full of nervousness in his heart, completely frightened, the seven-star knife in his hand fell to the ground, turned his head, and looked at Lu Bu who was standing at the door with a shocked face.
& Maybe, this is impossible, this is completely different from what history says, how could Lu Bu come back at this time, shouldn't he still be picking horses for me?! β
Frightened, incredulous and panicked, Cao Cao watched Lu Bu walking towards him with a blank face, completely forgetting his reaction, and watching Lu Bu grab his hands behind his back.
Lu Bu's angry shout, the sound of the seven-star knife falling to the ground in Cao Cao's hand, and the sound of the armor colliding when the soldiers guarding the door entered the room, made Dong Zhuo, who was originally asleep on the couch, wake up, Dong Zhuo, who opened his eyes, looked at Cao Cao who was caught by Lu Bu with some confusion, and asked in surprise: "Feng Xian, why did you catch Meng De?" β
After letting the Xiliang soldiers on the side catch Cao Cao, Lu Bu gave Dong Zhuo a fist salute and said, "Back to my father-in-law, when the child just came in, I saw Cao Cao holding a sharp blade, and I wanted to be unfavorable to my father-in-law!" β
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo looked at Cao Cao, who was kneeling on the ground, with some surprise, and asked, "Cao Cao, but that's the case?" β
Although Cao Cao couldn't react and was arrested because of Lu Bu's sudden appearance and changes in history at the beginning, no matter how big the surprise was at this time, it was also over, Cao Cao, who calmed down, heard Dong Zhuo's words, his brain spun quickly, and his face was full of wronged expressions: "Wronged, Xiangguo, the minister doesn't want to be unfavorable to Xiangguo, but just wants to dedicate this treasure knife to Xiangguo and ask Xiangguo to see clearly!" β
& Someone, bring the knife to our family, let our family see! β
Cao Cao's words made Dong Zhuo a little puzzled, in fact, in Dong Zhuo's heart, he didn't believe that Cao Cao would assassinate him, after all, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, he didn't have anything to be sorry for Cao Cao, so after hearing Cao Cao's explanation, although Dong Zhuo couldn't say that he believed it immediately, the doubts in his heart were also reduced by half.
Cao Cao, who was kneeling on the ground, watched Dong Zhuo take the seven-star knife in the hands of the Xiliang soldiers, looked at it and said, "Xiangguo, you can try the bronze mirror in the room." β
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Well, okay, let our family see how precious this knife is." β
Dong Zhuo came to the back of the bronze mirror with a seven-star knife in his hand, waved it hard, and with a click, the bronze mirror was divided in half, and the fracture was very smooth, and people who didn't know saw it, and thought that the bronze mirror was originally half, and he wouldn't have thought that it was cut like this by a knife, seeing such a scene, Dong Zhuo laughed: "Good, good, it's worthy of a treasure knife!" β
Waving his hand to let the Xiliang soldiers in the bedroom retreat, Dong Zhuo came to Cao Cao's side, helped him up and said, "Meng De, our family really almost wronged you just now." β
"Father, I wonder if the child can look at this knife?" β
Cao Cao, who had just stood up with a sigh of relief, was nervous again after hearing this, after all, in his memory, Cao Cao stabbed the director because Lu Bu saw that the treasure knife offered by Cao Cao was the heirloom of Situ Wang Yun, and the relationship between Cao Cao and Wang Yun was not good enough for Wang Yun to send such a precious thing.
> However, Lu Budu came back early, so I think this history should also change, right? β
Cao Cao, who begged God to bless him in his heart, subconsciously, also produced a kind of disgust, he felt disgusted for his weakness at this time, for his own fear at this time, and for his previous groveling.
It's just that the subconscious mind is just the subconscious after all, and such thoughts are so fast that even Cao Cao himself didn't notice it, and at this time, he looked at Lu Bu with nervousness.
After Lu Bu took the seven-star knife from Dong Zhuo's hand, he looked at it slowly, and after a while, Lu Bu's face became a little wrong, he glanced at Cao Cao, bowed to Dong Zhuo, who was still full of smiles, and said: "Father-in-law, if the child hasn't seen it, this knife should be the seven-star knife that has been passed down from generation to generation in Situ Wang Yun's mansion." β
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, especially the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, even if a person like Dong Zhuo can achieve the position of Xiangguo, in addition to his strength, his brain is also not to be underestimated.
Since Wang Yun would give the seven-star sword that has been passed down from generation to generation to Cao Cao, this eunuch in their eyes, such a big flaw, if Dong Zhuo can't see it, it would be strange.
Dong Zhuo, who was furious, pointed at Cao Cao and shouted: "Okay, you Cao Mengde, you really want to assassinate our family, Feng will catch him for our family first!" β
Cao Cao, who originally felt a little bad, was ready to escape from here when Dong Zhuo suddenly realized, but unfortunately, he was fast, Lu Bu was faster, Cao Cao didn't escape a few steps, he was caught up by Lu Bu, and at the same time, Lu Bu kicked his knees fiercely, and fell to the ground on his knees.
& You Cao Mengde, our family is not thin on you, I didn't expect you to assassinate our family today, but do you think that with a powerless person like you, you can really kill our family?! β
Dong Zhuo was a little angry at first, and then looked at Cao Cao with a look of mockery and contempt, his gaze was like looking at a frog at the bottom of a well who didn't know how wide the sky was.
I don't know if it was because of the shame of being forced to kneel on the ground by Lu Bu, or because of the various pressures he had suffered since he crossed over, or because he thought that he would never be able to live today, Cao Cao finally broke out, he raised his head and looked at Dong Zhuo with difficulty: "Strength? Dong Zhuo, if I Cao Cao doesn't die today, one day, I will get enough power to overthrow you! β
Dong Zhuo, who was taken aback by Cao Cao's tiger-like gaze, said with some annoyance: "Feng Xian, take Cao Mengde down to our family and kill him, and then hang his head at the city gate to show the public!" β
& Father-in-law! β
Cao Cao, who was arrested by Lu Bu, squinted slightly, glanced at the sun in the sky, closed his eyes, and thought with some bitterness: "I didn't expect that I would die on the second day of the crossing, if there is a time-traveler with the shortest time in history, I must be the champion." β
