Chapter 218 Cao Cao is assassinated!

However, Cao Pi took the initiative to come to Xun Yu and said respectfully: "Sir, since there is danger here, I will prevent others from coming."

"But I also thought that as my father's son, it was really unreasonable for him not to come out to greet my father when he returned, so I came here on my own. Wouldn't it cause trouble to my husband?"

After all, Xun Yu was an important minister whom Cao Cao trusted. Cao Pi did not dare to offend him, so he found an excuse to explain.

Xun Yu smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. If the young master has this intention, the prime minister will definitely be very happy."

"That's good."

Cao Pi smiled, and then stood aside, waiting for Cao Cao to return.

Xun Yu sighed silently in his heart. Cao Pi was indeed smart, but sometimes he was too arrogant. The prime minister would definitely not like him.

Cao Pi didn't know what Xun Yu was thinking. When he saw that he was the only one here, and none of the other brothers came, he couldn't help but feel proud.

It seems that he is destined to be in the limelight today!

If the assassin really shows up today, he will be able to show off in front of Cao Cao. Don't miss this opportunity!

The team came slowly in the distance, with the army following behind. Cao Pi felt even more excited when he saw this. He couldn't wait to show off!

The army at the rear marched silently and in mighty force. There were many ordinary people who came to watch the excitement at the city gate. They were all shocked when they looked at the army in the distance.

But Xun Yu frowned immediately after seeing Cao Cao's chariot. He had sent someone to inform Cao Cao about the assassin a few days ago.

"The Prime Minister has been informed in advance that there is an assassin, so why do you still come from the main entrance in such a arrogant manner?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the army following Cao Cao. He seemed to have thought of something and stopped worrying about it.

After all, even if Cao Cao was unprepared, he secretly sent a lot of additional men.

Cao Cao's army came towards the city gate in a mighty manner. The chariot was at the front. Without any hurry, it slowly stopped in front of the city gate under the gaze of everyone.

Xun Yu, Cao Pi and the officials were about to greet him, but they didn't expect a sudden change at this moment!

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the soldiers standing on both sides to isolate the ordinary people were assassinated in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, many assassins appeared in the crowd, holding crossbows and shooting hidden arrows at Cao Cao's carriage.

Because the assassins appeared in various places in the crowd, and the hidden arrows were shot from very tricky angles, there was no way to resist them. Therefore, while Xun Yu and Cao Pi watched helplessly, the arrows fiercely shot through the carriage.

When Cao Pi saw this scene, his eyes widened immediately, with a look of panic on his face, and he kept shouting: "There is an assassin, catch the assassin quickly!"

As he spoke, he ran towards the chariot, looking brave.

Xun Yu was very conscious at this moment. He quickly drew the sword from his waist and ordered: "Protect the Prime Minister first!"

After all, he knew that Cao Cao was the most important, and even if he caught the assassin, it would be of no use if Cao Cao was assassinated.

In an instant, the soldiers brought by Xun Yu reacted. Many people rushed to the chariot and quickly protected the chariot. Some of them began to arrest the assassins.

At the same time, the army brought by Cao Cao was not just a display. Several groups of soldiers were also separated to capture the assassins.

It's just that these assassins were very cunning. They created chaos and made the surrounding crowd restless. Seeing such a dense number of arrows shot into the carriage, Cao Cao would definitely not survive, so they began to escape according to the plan.

Unfortunately, even if they had already thought of a way out, Xun Yu had arranged people around them, and they would be caught not far after they ran out.

Some of them would rise up to resist at this moment, but unfortunately they were vulnerable to the elite of Cao's army and were captured one after another.

Not long after, the ordinary people here were driven away. The assassins were either killed or arrested, but a few managed to escape. "Tell me, who sent you here!"

A soldier stared at the assassin fiercely and asked.

Dare to assassinate Cao Cao in Xuchang City, which shows the audacity of these people.

But these assassins were very tough, and even had poison hidden in their mouths. After being captured, they actually drank the poison directly and died soon after.

"If you can kill Cao Cao, this life is enough!!!!"

"Hahaha!"

Before dying, the assassin screamed to the sky, and then died laughing.

At this time, there was no more panic on the other side of the carriage. Cao Pi hurried to the carriage and shouted anxiously: "Father, are you okay?"

Suddenly, a figure rolled out of the carriage with a few arrows stuck in his body. Judging from his clothes, he was undoubtedly Cao Cao.

When Cao Pi saw it, he screamed and rushed forward. But when he saw the man's face, he was stunned. Although the man looked like Cao Cao, he was not Cao Cao at all, just a substitute.

Xun Yu and others also ran over. When they saw that it was just a substitute who died, they all took a long breath and secretly thought about how to survive.

If Cao Cao is really assassinated, then Xuchang will be shaken! ! !

Cao Pi's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Sure enough, his father did not die so easily.

At the same time, he was sighing in his heart. His father was indeed very cunning and used a stand-in to lure out the assassin. But where is his father now?

At this time, a messenger hurriedly came to Cao Pi and Xun Yu, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report, the prime minister has entered through the west gate, and the young master will greet them at the west gate."

After hearing the news, Xun Yu and others were truly relieved.

"As expected of the Prime Minister!!!"

Xun Yu secretly admired, finally knowing why Cao Cao returned with great fanfare.

Cao Pi also laughed immediately. If Cao Cao had nothing to do, he would not only come to greet him, but also capture and kill the assassin together. Cao Cao would definitely praise him.

But as he smiled, he realized something was wrong.

"I've obviously informed Cao Chong so that he doesn't have to pick me up, so why does he come again? And how did he know that his father entered through the west gate?"

Thinking of this, Cao Pi felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He naturally knew that Cao Cao favored Cao Chong, and he tried every means to perform in order to overpower Cao Chong and other young masters.

But now Cao Chong's performance has far surpassed him, making all his plans come to nothing, which made him feel wary.

Under the current situation, if he doesn't try his best to fight for it, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not pass the throne to him in the future, but to Cao Chong!

This was something the ambitious Cao Pi couldn't bear.

No one noticed that there was a sinister flash in Cao Pi's eyes.
