I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Is it her?

Cao Xiong thought of the beautiful maid whom he bumped into this afternoon, and Xiang Yu also mentioned that her martial arts were very high.

Thinking about it this way, it is really possible that the outer wall of the Sikong Mansion is extremely high, and every gate is guarded by soldiers, let alone an assassin, even a bird wants to fly in, and you have to ask these soldiers if they agree.

It is very likely that the assassin himself is in the Sikong Mansion.

From this point of view, the maid with high martial arts skills is very suspicious, and she can directly recognize Cao Xiong as the fifth son, so she is very familiar with the faces of every son in the Sikong Mansion.

I wanted to continue to let Xiang Yu recall that woman.

Unexpectedly, a pungent smell rushed over, and in the black night, very unusual thick smoke quickly filled the Sikong Mansion.

In the Sikong Mansion, there is a large courtyard in the north direction that faintly glows with fire.

First, a few people shouted: "The water is gone!" Then more and more people shouted.

In the end, the wife, son, maidservant, and soldiers of the Sikong Mansion shouted one after another: "The Qilin Pavilion is flooded."

The entire Sikong Mansion was in a mess.

Chapter 40 The Assassination of Cao Sikong

After Cao Xiong confirmed the safety of the surrounding area, he walked out from the corner where he was hiding.

"Isn't the place where the fire started the 'Kirin Pavilion' where Cao Cao and the Xiahou brothers discussed their affairs?" Cao Xiong said.

in the live room.

Cao Xiong: "My lords, post a barrage!"What would happen if the palace suddenly caught fire? 』

Yingzheng, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Yang Guang, Li Shimin, Zhu Youxiao, and Temujin sent barrages almost simultaneously.

"Assassination! 』

Cao Xiong was startled: "Damn it, someone actually assassinated Cao Cao!" 』

Thinking of this, Cao Xiong hurried out.However, the direction of running was not to go to the Qilin Pavilion to fight the fire, but to the opposite direction.

Since the emperors proposed the assassination, the purpose of this fire is probably to create chaos, so as to provide an opportunity for the assassination to win.

That being the case, if you rush to Qilin Pavilion rashly.

Cao Cao, who is suspicious by nature, will inevitably doubt whether he is here to assassinate him or to rescue him?

At this time, you can't be greedy for merit, it's important to be wise and protect yourself.

In the live broadcast room, Li Shimin sent a super barrage.

"Think of a way, run back to your own Jingxuan Pavilion, if it is really an assassination.You are wandering around Sikong Mansion, if I were Cao Cao, I would be the first to take your head off. 』

Li Shimin thought of something with Cao Xiong, but the key question is, how to run back to Jingxuan Pavilion?

If you didn't get lost and ran back early in the morning, would you still hang around here?

Just when Cao Xiong was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Fifth son, Xiong'er?"

Cao Xiong turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged woman approaching gracefully with the help of a maidservant.The blue and white clothes are not luxurious, but very elegant.

Based on the sporadic memory of this face, Cao Xiong has some doubts. Could this be Mrs. Bian, Cao Cao's regular wife, Cao Xiong's mother?

"Mother?"

Cao Xiong asked tentatively, his voice was very low, he was still a little worried, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he made a mistake?

Unexpectedly, the woman walked over quickly and hugged Cao Xiong.

"Xiong'er, are you cured?"

After blurting out this sentence, Cao Xiong basically concluded that she was indeed his mother, Mrs. Bian.

It was just five years of being bedridden, why did she never visit herself?Thinking of this, Cao Xiong was a little puzzled.

"I haven't seen you in five years. Xiong'er has grown so tall! His body...is much stronger."

From Mrs. Bian's concerned words, Cao Xiong felt that Mrs. Bian was not as indifferent to him as he imagined.Instead, she cared about her little son very much.

But?Why……

Forget it, now is not the time to ask these questions.

If you don't run back to Jingxuan Pavilion, after a while, Cao Cao's suspicious character will definitely link the assassin with himself who is wandering in Sikong Mansion.

Just about to speak, borrow Madam Bian as a bodyguard and let him lead the way and run back to Jingxuan Pavilion.

Madam Bian asked first, "Xiong'er is so late, why did he appear here?"

If she said she was lost, would she believe it?

Forget it, who would believe that a young master from the Sikong Mansion lost his way in the Sikong Mansion!

Then only...

Cao Xiong turned his back to Mrs. Bian and stretched out his hands.

"Mother, I'm here to protect you. The Qilin Pavilion is on fire, and Xiong'er is worried that someone will use the chaos to hurt Mother!"

In the live broadcast room, because of Cao Xiong's reaction.

On the bullet screen, "666" and "witty as a hero" appeared one after another.

Li Shimin put forward a feasible suggestion: "There is a fire in the conference hall, so staying with Mrs. Bian is more effective than staying in Jingxuan Pavilion!"It can also bring you closer to your mother-in-law by the way.Kill two birds with one stone! 』

Cao Xiong: "That's what I thought!" 』

I heard Cao Xiong say that he wanted to protect his mother.

Mrs. Bian chuckled, there are more than a dozen servants and guards in this pavilion, how can he, a 15-year-old young man, be needed to protect him?

What's more, in Madam Bian's impression, the fifth son Cao Xiong has been recuperating in bed for five years.

Even if he is in good health now, it should be just not long ago.

Even so, when encountering a fire, I think of my mother first.This kind of filial piety is really rare.Behavior is in line with his age.

"Xiong'er, it's just a fire, how can you protect it?"

Mrs. Bian just finished speaking.

The yelling outside the pavilion quickly changed from the previous "water is gone" to "Cao Sikong has been assassinated"!And more and more people shouted.

Madam Bian was not panicked at first.But when she heard the words "Cao Sikong was assassinated", her face was full of worry.

She almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Cao Xiong was beside her and supported her.

Isn't it a fire?

Why was Cao Sikong assassinated?

As a woman, she naturally wouldn't think of the connection.

Chapter 41 The Flaws of the Sikong Mansion

"Go to Qilin Pavilion quickly!" Madam Bian's voice was very urgent.

After saying that, Mrs. Bian rushed to Qilin Pavilion with all the servants and guards.

Cao Xiong hurriedly caught up.

Being with Mrs. Bian can avoid being suspected by Cao Cao.

When they rushed to Qilin Pavilion, there was still no trace of fire.

There are more than 2000 single soldiers in the Sikong Mansion. One bucket of water per person may be able to extinguish the fire.

There is no fire, but it does not mean that Qilin Pavilion is calm.

From the gate of the courtyard to the main hall of Qilin Pavilion, there are corpses all over the place.There are men in black, and there are soldiers from the Sikong Mansion.

It was the first time Cao Xiong witnessed such a bloody scene, he grabbed his neck with one hand and almost vomited out on the spot.

If he hadn't traveled to this era of massacres, Cao Xiong believed that even if he spent his whole life, he would never have seen the corpses with blood in them like before his eyes.

"Where's Sikong... Where's Sikong?" Mrs. Bian was not frightened by the battle.

He eagerly asked one after another the soldiers in Qilin Pavilion.

Where did the soldiers know where Cao Cao was, they all shook their heads.

"Here!" The deep voice came from the woods behind Qilin Pavilion.

Cao Cao came out, Xu Chu beside him was holding a dagger and a dagger was pinned to his waist.Be aware of everything around you at all times.

In addition to Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Pi also appeared beside Cao Cao, but there were obvious scars on his body!It can be seen that these four people have just fought against the assassin.

Cao Gun, Cao Lin, and Cao Chong also appeared in the Qilin Pavilion courtyard.

Cao Zhang is calling the government soldiers to search carefully.

All the princes in Yecheng, except Cao Zhi, were all gathered near the Kirin Pavilion.

"Sikong, are you injured?" Mrs. Bian asked with concern.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "I'm fine, it's windy here, Madam, let's go back first." Then he arranged several guards around him to escort Madam Bian back to her courtyard.

Since Cao Cao was fine, Mrs. Bian was relieved.

For Cao Cao's orders, she has always only obeyed.

"Sikong, the servant will leave first."

"By the way, ma'am, was the fifth son Cao Xiong with you just now?" Cao Cao asked again, looking at Cao Xiong.

"We are together!" Mrs. Bian replied.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Bian left here under the escort of the guards.

Cao Cao asked, "Wu'er, why did you go looking for your mother?"

Cao Xiong said in his heart: "Fortunately!" On the surface, he said with a serious face: "It's a fire again, and it's an assassin. Naturally, I want to protect my mother's safety!"

Cao Xiong said a word with seriousness and confidence, as if it should be so.

Cao Cao seemed angry: "Father's safety, don't you need protection?"

Cao Zhang and Cao Gun secretly rejoiced. The Qilin Pavilion was on fire, and their father was assassinated. Instead of protecting his father, this kid ran to his mother (Ms. Bian) first. What is the reason for this?

Cao Lin also sweated for him, thinking: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, father caught fire and was assassinated here, and you ran to mother's place, and father blamed it, how can you explain it!"

Cao Xiong was a little unhappy when he heard Cao Cao's accusation, and curled his lips and said, "Father's safety is protected by Guannei Hou Xu Chu, and the two uncles Xiahou are here too! I just ran over, and with my three-legged cat's skill, I don’t know if it’s to protect my father? Or to cause trouble for my father?”

Cao Lin was startled, the fifth elder brother is addicted to contradicting his father today?

His words were astonishing early in the morning, and he still dared to question his father late at night.What is the fifth brother thinking?

Cao Cao was satisfied with Cao Xiong's answer.Because of his suspicious nature, he didn't trust these things to save his son.

Cao Cao's expression was still serious, but he didn't speak, he was waiting.

Not long after, a man dressed as a military soldier ran over quickly and whispered something in Xu Chu's ear.

Xu Chu wanted to listen to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao yelled: "Speak loudly, let these young masters listen to how negligent the guards of Sikong Mansion can be!"

Xu Chu put away the dagger, and then said loudly:

"A total of 21 assassins, [-] were dead, and one escaped. The escaped assassin had a sword wound on the left chest and was a woman.

The seventeen assassins who died were newly recruited soldiers from the Sikong Mansion! . "

I have heard what Xu Chu said.Cao Cao nodded and said, "Sure! The majestic Sikong Mansion let a group of assassins sneak in."

Although Cao Cao's remarks were not straightforward, the meaning of blaming Cao Zhang was already very obvious.

Cao Zhang hurriedly knelt down: "My boy has ordered the soldiers to surround the entire Sikong Mansion, and inspect each pavilion one by one. Father, give me an hour, and I will definitely catch this female assassin."
