Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Not long after Xiaoqiu and Ji Ping left, there were several more figures on the scene, and someone immediately went to check on the dead man in black.

Cao Lan walked out among these people, followed by other shadowy people immediately surrounded the room in front of them, and finally found that the room was empty, but their vigilance did not relax at all.

"General, the man is dead!"

The man who went up to examine the body came back and said.

The dead man in black was dressed exactly the same as the shadow. The man added: "It seems to have died of poisoning."

Cao Lan also observed the corpse for a while, only to see that the skin on his face was dark green, and his eyes became serious.

"All of us underestimated her strength." Cao Lan murmured.

This dead man was also a member of the Shadow.

He followed Xiaoqiu's trail to come here, and just after passing the news back, he was killed.

When Cao Lan and the others arrived, they saw only one corpse.

After watching the fighting scene for a while, Cao Lan muttered to himself: "There were at least three people present at the time, so continue to track down her whereabouts!"

Those shadowy people, like black shadows, melted into the night in an instant.

Cao Lan glanced at the surrounding environment, he frowned, and strode away from here.

What he didn't know was that not long after he left, a figure slowly appeared from the back of the house.

"Chen Yang's movements are really fast, and he has already found this place. I want to see how this variable of yours will change!"

Ji Ping also walked slowly into the darkness.

-

Its daybreak.

"Husband!"

When Cao Ning woke up, he found himself nestled in a warm embrace.

"Are you awake? Are you better?" Chen Yang opened his eyes slightly, rubbed her little head, and said pitifully.

Cao Ning's mood is still not very high, but compared to yesterday, he is much better, with a wry smile on his face: "I'm fine, because of my father's affairs, thank you husband."

"We are a family, Ning'er doesn't have to be polite to me."

Chen Yang hugged her tightly, and continued: "I know this will be difficult for you to accept, but it has already happened, even if I can't reverse it, I can only try my best to find out the people behind it, and then save her. Go back to Lao Cao."

Cao Ning nodded lightly: "My husband is doing very well, thank you husband!"

"Silly girl, wake up, I will accompany you back to Cao's Mansion later." Chen Yang said again.

Cao Ning felt warm in her heart. She looked at Chen Yang's face and felt that she was really happy. She also hoped that she could continue to be this happy forever. She didn't want similar things to happen again.

After getting up, they went to Cao's mansion together.

"Zian!"

As soon as Chen Yang walked into Cao Cao's room, he saw the haggard Madam Ding sitting beside her.

Mrs. Bian was wiping Cao Cao's face carefully with a warm towel. She also said softly, "Zian, Ning'er. You are back!"

"Father!" Cao Ning walked slowly to the edge of the bed, crying.

When the others saw Cao Ning like this, they were infected by her emotions, and their eye circles turned red.

"After Yuanhua's treatment yesterday, the prime minister's health is much better, but he still can't wake up."

Mrs. Ding's voice was also a little hoarse, maybe it was because of crying too much, she said again: "Ning'er, are you here with us? Zi'an, you go to Zixiu first, he said he has something to discuss with you."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Okay!"

Cao Ang was in Cao Cao's study, and just as Chen Yang entered, he was surprised to see that Cao Lan was also there.

"Zian, we have news about Xiaoqiu!" Cao Ang was a little excited, but also a little discouraged.

Cao Lan briefly described what happened last night, and said again: "That maid Xiaoqiu is definitely not an ordinary person."

Cao Ang clenched his fists with a faint killing intent lingering on his body.

"Where is the corpse? I want to go and see it too!" Chen Yang said again.

"I'll take it to Yuanhua and ask him to check the poison," Cao Lan said.

A while later, in a room where the dead bodies were kept in the medical school.

"He died from poisoning. The poison is very powerful. Basically, if he sees blood and seals his throat, even if he smells a little poison powder, he will die immediately."

Hua Tuo looked at the green-faced corpse in front of him, and said, "I've never seen this kind of poison before. That maid should be a master at using poison, and her strength is not weak."

Looking at the green face, Chen Yang felt a creepy feeling.

"Can poison be used to determine who that maid is?" Chen Yang asked.

"No, but in this world, there are not many people who are good at using poison. I didn't expect Ji Ping to be a master at using poison."

Hua Tuo continued: "The poison that caused the prime minister to become unconscious should not be owned by us big men. It is very likely that it came from the barbarian area. I suggest you follow the Western Regions to track it down, or gain something. As long as I know what kind of poison it is, Only then can the antidote be prepared."

Cao Ang said: "Cao Lan, I will leave it to you to track down the source of the poison."

"Yes!"

Cao Lan beside him nodded.

Hua Tuo continued: "In addition, the prime minister's head wind was also affected by that poison, and it has become more and more serious now. Poisoning is only one of the reasons for unconsciousness, and another reason should be head wind. "

"What should I do?" Cao Lan asked impatiently.

"I can't think of a solution for the time being. I will investigate the ancient books in the past few days. If possible, please ask the eldest son to help me find some patients with headaches. I want to find a solution in this way. "Hua Tuo said in a deep voice.

"No problem, as long as I can save my father, I can do whatever I want." Cao Ang nodded.

Since they couldn't find any other useful clues on the body, they temporarily left the room.

Chen Yang said again: "Yuanhua, do you think opening the head can cure headache?"

He thought of Hua Tuo in the novels of later generations, who mentioned that he would perform a craniotomy on Cao Cao, but was killed by Cao Cao in the end.

However, the ancient craniotomy is not easy to do. First of all, disinfection is already a big problem. If you are not careful, it will lead to bacterial infection. Even if Cao Cao can survive and wake up, he may be paralyzed, or he may be an idiot. .

Chen Yang didn't want Hua Tuo to take risks like this unless he had to.

However, Chen Yang's words made Hua Tuo fall into deep thought.

He has done surgery, but it is also the simplest operation, and he has never thought about the high risk of craniotomy.

"If the head is opened, how can a person live?" Cao Ang asked questioningly.

"I just mentioned it casually, you don't have to take Yuanhua to heart." Chen Yang smiled, and then they left the medical school together.

Cao Ang's face was already full of fatigue, his nervousness and worry did not diminish with the passage of time.

"This morning, I also received a letter from Wen He from the north. He said that we retreated very suddenly, which made many people suspicious. Some of Yuan Shao's former troops who surrendered to us have secretly assembled their forces."

Cao Ang let out a long sigh: "I think people in the north are still waiting and watching. As long as some people dare to resist first, others will rebel unwillingly."

"The most important thing at the moment is Xiao Cao, you take Lao Cao's position as soon as possible, so that people can be convinced and let others fear."

Chen Yang said: "I have a way. I can secure your position first, and then I will help you stand up."
