In the wind and snow, the trembling eunuch was dragged away by someone an hour.

The sound of clamoring in the quiet long street came. On the snow covered with snow, a big foot suddenly fell into the snow. When the snow was raised, more black shadows ran over here silently with weapons, making a squeaking sound. The men were masked in black and walked towards the side of the palace not far away.

Looking around the courtyard wall, someone shook his eyes at his companion signaled toward the courtyard wall. When he turned around and put his hands together, his companion with weapons rushed over, stepped on his palm, and jumped upwards, leaning on the wall. When he jumped off, a door and several guards were burning for heat. He heard the sound of landing and looked over.

"assassin--"

The moment a voice shouted, the three guards immediately drew their swords and rushed out of the side hut, and the figures that descended from the courtyard wall rushed directly towards the side door. Three blades were handed to his back, and blood splattered. The man waved his knife to cut off the door bolt, dragging his bloody back suddenly, and rushed towards the oncoming guards of the royal palace, and was forced to block the three of them by the blade.

Immediately, the gate of the courtyard was knocked open.

....

Dian Wei and others who were drinking under the eaves stopped. When they raised their heads, they heard a faint shout of killing in their ears. Dian Wei rubbed his ugly red face, grabbed the double halberds leaning against the wooden railing and stood up, "It's so fucking disappointment." "Let Chu go." The fat man waved his hand at him, and the tiger-headed sword buzzed and fought on his shoulders. He took a few soldiers from the Tiger Guard Camp to strode towards the side courtyard.

The light of the lights lit up again in the study. In the room, Gongsun Zhi wore a single piece of clothing and took a sip of the cold water from the desk. When he walked to the window frame, Dian Wei's voice came from outside: "Lord, Zhongkang brought people over."

"Um."

Gongsun Zhi held the shang vessel in his hand and shook it: "Leave a living mouth and confirm who sent it." As he said that, he drank the cold water from the shang, turned around and threw it on the desk, "It doesn't stop at midnight."

Behind the screen, Fu Shou stood up in a quilt and looked at him worriedly: "Wouldn't you go out and have a look?"

"Go late. If a group of thieves can kill in, all the guards under Gu's command should be dragged out and beheaded." Gongsun Zhi hugged her in his arms and said softly, "This Zhongyuan was not shot by Gu with one sword and one shot. There are many people who are jealous, but it's okay. No one needs to know who did it. Just go to the court tomorrow to ask clearly."

Fu Shou leaned against the man's shoulder and sighed: "I'm going to have someone else going to the ground tomorrow."

"This is what they asked for." Gongsun Zhi patted her, "If you sleep for a while, you should go out and have a look."

After pressing the woman back into the bedding, he took the seven-star sword hanging on the wall, put on a cloak and pushed open the door and walked out. He waved to Dian Wei, and then ordered Li Ke to stay in the study. Then he led dozens of guards and wolf cavalry to rush toward the vague shouts of fighting. Around, the alarmed guards rushed over there, and met Gongsun Zhihe here, forming a team of hundreds of people, with murderous auras.

When he stepped into the side yard, bloody smell came to his face. Rows of guards had formed gun formations and knife formations, pushing the twenty assassins who had rushed into the courtyard only five or six feet into the middle of the courtyard. The broken corpses were all over the ground. On the eaves, some soldiers also took their bows and aimed at this side. Occasionally, a few arrows shot into the crowd in the air, turning a nail to the ground with a assassin who wanted to slash.

Xu Chu stood in front of the front line with a big sword, his thick arms swung violently, and the heavy blade directly split the opponent's assassin in two pieces with the person and the knife. The colorful intestines and organs were splashed all over the surroundings, pouring everyone's faces. He shouted: "Leave a living mouth, kill the rest."

The four-sided array, spear, and blade were slashing wildly in the roar. The sticky plasma splattered into the air with a series of shrill screams. Only one of them was broken by Xu Chu's arm with the back of the knife, grabbed it from the inside, overturned it to the ground, rolled to the stone steps not far away. After the shaking vision stopped, he saw a pair of cold eyes standing above and looking down at him.

"Who sent you here? Tell me, I will give you a way out."

"Yes...yes...yah...yah..." The man said, twisting and looking at his companion who was stabbed to death by countless spears and spears, his eyes full of horror. When he turned around, he saw a cold light slowly pulling out from the scabbard inlaid with seven gems. He quickly shouted: "King Jin, you said let me live..."

Gongsun Zhi looked at him with his eyes down, and raised his blade, "I broke my promise."

With a puff, the head and neck of the person who had not finished speaking broke and rolled on the ground a few times. Soon after, the sound of fighting in the side yard was destroyed in the wind and snow. The figure who turned around and left was wiped back into the sheath. The sound came coldly: "Clean the ground, find a carriage to load it, and take it to the imperial city tomorrow."

*******

The sky gradually became brighter, and the wind and snow stopped in the early morning. The whole scene was already white, and the streets and alleys gradually became lively. As pedestrians were passing by, Cao Ang led a team of soldiers through the lively streets and stationed at the residence of the King of Jin. When he saw several teams of soldiers from the Tiger Guards waiting in line, he entered the courtyard and happened to meet Li Ke who was passing the order.

"What's going on?"

Li Ke spread his hands, pointed to the side yard, and smiled, "The emperor's butt is itchy and he deserves to twitch."

The two of them said a few words and separated. At the end of the corridor connecting the front and back yards, they saw Gongsun Zhi in a dressed dress. The latter came over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Zi Hui came here so early, was he pleading for your brother? Let's go and go to the palace with me."

Cao Ang was stunned when he heard the words straight to the point, and followed behind him. He walked out all the way. While the mansion manager waved his hand to drive him away, the guard wolf cavalry came one after another from other directions to gather behind the two of them. He took a loud footsteps. Cao Ang then explained his purpose: "Ang is indeed here to plead for Zihuan, and he also asked the King of Jin to let him live. Ang is willing to exchange this title for him."

"Zi Xiu was joking. How can I reward or take back the title at will?" Gongsun Zhi walked in front with his hands in his arms. Seeing his daughter running out of the front yard and side hall, he reached out to pinch her face and continued to move forward, "...... I never thought about killing him. One is to have the friendship of Cao Gong, and the other is, how close you and I are, it depends on your face."

As he walked down the stone steps, someone in front quickly swept away the snow while walking forward.

"But... I have to go down the steps in this matter. Among these people, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang and Zhang Xiu, you pick one out to be a scapegoat, and the rest can be taken lightly." Gongsun Zhi took a few steps and paused for a moment. He turned his head slightly and looked at Cao Ang: "...Zi Xiu, you choose."

Cao Ang stood there with his face trembling slightly. Some things were indeed as Gongsun Zhi said. If he made a mistake and wanted to excuse him, he would always give him an explanation, otherwise the others would be dissatisfied. After hesitating for a moment, he tightened his fists and whispered: "... Then choose Zhang Xiu."

"Okay! Then Zhang Xiu will bear this matter."

Gongsun Zhi walked over and patted his shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Who can't die in this world? Since he has made a decision, then be more happy." When he walked to the mansion, he didn't care about Cao Ang's mood and turned over, "...Don't be depressed. Since the person has been saved, he will take him back to discipline him well, and the orphan will not tolerate the next time."

"Yes!" Cao Ang responded softly, and looked at King Jin carrying a knife on his horse. He raised his hand and said goodbye: "I won't go to the palace. Ang took Zihuan back to the mansion and had to go to the military camp to handle some affairs. In the evening, come to the palace to ask the King Jin for a bowl of wine."

"Haha, this is like a lonely general, then Zixiu will do it."

After saying goodbye and leaving, Gongsun Zhi rode a horse in front, his smile gradually calmed down, and his eyes became serious. It was not Cao Pi's business, but the assassination day and night. Now when he thought about it carefully, he always felt a little strange inside.

A vast army spread across the long street.
