Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 461 Spreading the News (Thanks to AQ Chenyi, Shao Qiansui, and Charged Up for the monthly ticket support~)
a few days later.

The assassin who was imprisoned was treated to delicious food and drink every day.

In this situation, he did not seek death like the assassin at the beginning.

Who wants to die if they can live?

That day, he was lying comfortably on the straw mat in the cell when he suddenly heard two patrolling jailers talking in low voices not far away:

"Have you heard? Cao Cao and his six generals were all executed by Lord Chu!"

"Is this true? Lord Chu has always valued talents, but he is willing to kill them all?"

"Well, no matter how much you cherish talents, if they threaten your life and status, you can't let them live.

"What's more, they dare to covet Lord Chu's woman. Isn't this courting death?"

……

Hearing the conversation between the two, the assassin in the cell suddenly revealed a strange smile.

It seems that he acted very well and successfully deceived Lu Bu and his men.

In fact, their real purpose of sneaking into Lu Bu's mansion was not to assassinate Lu Bu.

Instead, he wanted to use Lu Bu to destroy Cao Cao!

After Cao Cao's death, Lu Bu lost several powerful helpers.

To achieve this goal, they are ready to make sacrifices.

Now that he has finally completed his mission, he will have no regrets even if he dies...

And in the late night of the same day, the cell suddenly caught fire!

The jailers quickly led all the prisoners out of the cells, and most of them were busy putting out the fire.

There were not many people left to guard the prisoners.

Seeing that the defense was so weak, the assassin immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to escape!
He used his life to bring wealth and glory to his family.

If you can also enjoy it yourself, then it will be a complete merit!
Thinking of this, the assassin quietly retreated behind the crowd.

While the jailer behind him turned his head to look elsewhere, he suddenly dived into an alley not far away.

All of this was seen by the jailers and other prisoners.

However, the assassin didn't know that except for him, everyone else here was Lu Bu's men...

After passing through the alley, the assassin suddenly saw several cargo carriages parked near the exit.

There were many oval wooden barrels on the back of the carriage, and a wooden shed above the carriage to keep out the rain.

The assassin learned from the conversation between the two drivers that this was a batch of goods to be transported to a village outside the city.

The assassin was overjoyed, and immediately took advantage of the driver's inattention, quietly got on the carriage, and hid in the gap between several wooden barrels, which was just big enough for one person to hide.

He felt that he was extremely lucky tonight, everything went so smoothly!
There is no doubt that all this was deliberately arranged by someone.

The two coachmen smiled at each other and drove the carriage towards the outside of the city.

Soon, the assassin successfully escaped from the city following the carriage.

After getting away from the city, the assassin seized the opportunity and quietly jumped off the carriage from the back.

Despite the noise, the coachman seemed not to hear anything and continued to drive away...

The assassin looked at the carriage going away, a sneer appeared on his face:
“The defense of Wancheng is just so-so, no wonder I was able to sneak into Lu Bu’s residence so easily.

"Hehe, now that the mission is completed, I can go back and enjoy myself!"

As he said this, the assassin found a big rock and smashed the handcuffs on his hands upwards.

With the sound of metal breaking, he successfully broke free from the shackles and fled towards the northwest at full speed.

And on the ridge of the field not far away, there were several people lying down.

One of them was General Ding Feng.

Looking at the assassins fleeing towards the northwest, he was basically certain that the two assassins must be from the imperial court.

Ding Feng immediately made a gesture to the people around him to chase forward.

He then rode on a horse not far away and returned to the city to tell Lü Bu the news. Meanwhile, Lü Bu was moving with his wives.

Since the capital was moved to Wancheng, the prefectural government's mansion began to be rebuilt into a palace.

Now, nearly a year has passed, and the palace was finally completed two days ago.

After a series of complicated ceremonies, Lu Bu was finally able to move from his original cramped mansion into this spacious palace.

And because the palace is wide enough, more guards can be deployed here for defense.

It will be even more difficult for the assassin to sneak in again!

Just as Lu Bu, who had been busy all day, was preparing to go to bed with Huang Yueying and his one-and-a-half-year-old son Lu Xuan in his arms.

The guard suddenly informed Ding Feng that he wanted to see him.

Lu Bu understood what was going on, so he let Ding Feng enter the inner hall.

Soon, Lu Bu also came to the inner hall, looked at Ding Feng who was walking quickly, and asked:
"In which direction did the assassin flee?"

"Replying to Lord Chu, it's in the northwest direction!"

After hearing Ding Feng's answer, Lu Bu was not too surprised.

Although Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang both hated Cao Cao.

However, the former was held hostage by Cao Cao for many years, and eventually his precious throne was taken away by Cao Cao's son.

Compared with Liu Xie's hatred, Zhuge Liang's disgust is obviously incomparable.

Therefore, Lu Bu had previously speculated that it was more likely that the assassin was sent by Liu Xie, whose purpose was to use him to get rid of Cao Cao.

After learning that it was an assassin sent by Liu Xie, Lu Bu felt angry again:

"It seems that Liu Xie has ignored him for too long, and he is starting to get restless again.

"In that case, Cheng Yuan, you send people to spread the news within our military territory, saying that the imperial court has sent assassins to kill me.

“In the end, Gu was not killed, but was seriously injured, and many of Gu’s family members were killed.

"I will soon raise an army to attack the imperial army and avenge my family!
"In this way, our army will have a legitimate reason to go to war in the future."

Ding Feng immediately took the order and left.

half a month later.

Sili, Chang'an City.

In the magnificent palace, Liu Xie, wearing a black dragon robe, sat upright on his dragon couch, listening to Huangfu Song's report about the assassin.

Because the Li-Guo Rebellion did not occur, Huangfu Song, who should have died of illness in 195 AD in history, is still alive today.

But his temples were already gray and wrinkles appeared on his face, and it was obvious that he was not young anymore.

"Your Majesty, news has spread from Lü Bu's territory that Lü Bu was hit in the face by an assassin and was seriously injured.

"His Red Hare was also shot dead, and several of his family members were killed...

"Lü Bu then interrogated the assassin and found out that it was Cao Cao who sent the assassin.

"So Cao Cao and his six family generals were killed together!"

After hearing the news, Liu Xie stood up in surprise, his face full of excitement:

"Is this serious?!"

Huangfu Song did not reply, but just looked at Jia Xu standing aside.

Jia Xu had his hands in his sleeves, his eyes closed, and looked like he was resting.

Seeing Huangfu Song looking at Jia Xu, Liu Xie, who was just pleasantly surprised, immediately calmed down and asked in a deep voice:
"Could it be that these news are all false?"

Huangfu Song nodded bitterly:

“That’s true… because Lu Bu then continued to spread the news, saying that he had investigated the matter thoroughly and that he had killed a good man by mistake.

"And it is stated that the assassin is from the imperial court and will soon raise an army to attack our army to avenge Cao Cao and his own family!"
