The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 504 Burying the Corpse
When everyone came to the city gate, the city gate officer inspected the goods. When he saw that Li Yuan was also in the caravan, he quickly walked over and saluted, "It turns out that Deputy Commander Zhao is also here. What kind of goods is this, and you have to personally escort it?" .”

"Hahahahaha, you misunderstood, Mr. Zijing is my good friend, and now he is going to transport this batch of goods to Chenliu, and it will take a while before he comes back, so I will give him a ride." Li Yuan casually found someone prevarication.

"So that's the case. Since he is a friend of Deputy Commander Zhao, there is no need to check. Let's all go." The city gate officer is very good at life, and he directly let Lu Su's caravan go. He knows that Li Yuan is now a celebrity around Cao Cao, and his status Second only to Dian Wei, and his martial arts are superb, so he deliberately curry favor with Li Yuan.

"Brother is really good at handling things. I will give you some good words in front of the lord in the future so that he will remember you." Li Yuan said some good words to win over the city gate officials.

"The villain first thanked Deputy Commander Zhao." The city gate officer couldn't help but beamed when he heard this, and was very grateful to Li Yuan.

Lu Su's caravan left the city gate without any surprises, and Li Yuan sent them back to the city after walking for three miles. Who knew that he had just entered the city, and a man dressed as a commoner immediately came over and pulled him aside and asked softly. Said: "Deputy Commander Zhao, everything is done?"

Li Yuan took a careful look at the commoner, he was a stranger, he had never seen him before, and asked: "But the person sent by the lord?"

"That's right, I belong to the lord, and the lord said that he will go to check it in person in an hour." The common people replied.

"Okay, everything is done. I will leave the city with my lord in an hour." Li Yuan nodded.

An hour later, Li Yuan and Cao Cao went out of the city one after another. This time Cao Cao did not act alone, he took Dian Wei with him.Li Yuan was a little surprised when he saw Dian Wei, because he thought Cao Cao would hide this from Dian Wei, but it seems that Dian Wei knew about it, but thinking about it, how could Cao Cao act alone? With a master at his side, Dian Wei is naturally the best candidate.

The three came to the place that Li Yuan had agreed with Lu Su in advance. Of course, Lu Su was no longer there. He handed over Zhou Yu's "body" to others, and then led the rest of the people to Chenliu. In fact, going to Chenliu was only part of it. If he is a human being, he will disguise himself as a commoner and return to Yecheng on the way.

At this time, Zhou Yu's "corpse" had been put into the coffin, and a large pit was dug next to it, with enough space for the coffin to be placed inside.Cao Cao saw the coffin and said, "I didn't expect you to prepare so well that you even bought the coffin."

Li Yuan explained: "After all, Zhou Yu has been kind to me, and he is also a famous general of the generation. Since he is dead, give him a coffin, so as not to be eaten by insects and ants."

"You're right." Cao Cao walked to the coffin and saw that there seemed to be no wound on Zhou Yu's body. "How did you kill him? Why didn't he have a wound? Have you changed his clothes?"

Li Yuan replied: "I didn't change my clothes. I invited him to come to my house as a guest today. Zhou Yu still had a little trust in me. He didn't bring his guards with him. Neither did Zhou Tai and Chen Wu. Mouth and nose, let him suffocate to death, this will prevent blood from flowing out, otherwise it will not be easy to transport out of the city."

Cao Cao walked around the coffin, he looked very carefully, and saw that Zhou Yu's face was pale, and he looked like he was dead. He reached out to feel the pulse on his neck, but there was no response at all, and the "corpse" was also a little cold. , Cao Cao suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, and wanted to stab Zhou Yu's body with it.

Li Yuan was startled when he saw this, he flew up to block Cao Cao, and asked, "My lord, what are you going to do?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I want to see if Zhou Yu is really dead."

"My lord, Zhou Yu must be dead. You can see that his face is pale and his pulse is unresponsive. Can he still be alive? If you don't believe me, I will prove it to you," Li Yuan pulled out his knife and placed it on Zhou Yu's arm. There was a knife mark that wasn't too big, and the clothes were cut by the sharp blade on the spot, and a trace of blood came out from inside, but Zhou Yu didn't respond at all.

Cao Cao knew that even though the wound wasn't serious, it would still hurt a lot. However, Zhou Yu didn't respond at all, which meant that Zhou Yu was really dead. He looked at it for a while before saying, "Bury it."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, and let the servants on the side start to do it. At the same time, he was relieved. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise Zhou Yu would really be killed by Cao Cao.

Now those who are in charge of burying are all Lu Su's cronies, so Lu Su is relieved to keep them.The crowd covered the coffin, then hurriedly carried the coffin into the pit, and then filled the pit. After working back and forth, it took less than half an hour to finish it.

When Cao Cao saw that the servants had filled the pit, he suddenly winked at Dian Wei who was beside him. Dian Wei understood, and immediately took out the short halberd around his waist to kill them. How could those servants expect Dian Wei to attack suddenly? , without any precautions, all seven people were killed by Dian Wei in an instant, Li Yuan couldn't help but angrily said: "Dian Wei, what are you doing!"

In a rage, Li Yuan drew out a big knife from his waist and slashed at Dian Wei. Dian Wei quickly turned around to meet Li Yuan's attack with the short halberd in his right hand.Li Yuan's strength surged under the fury, and a frenzied attack forced Dian Wei to retreat seven or eight steps in a row.Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly called Li Yuan to stop, fearing that Li Yuan would really kill Dian Wei, "Zhao Yu stop, I'm doing this for your own good."

"For my own good, why is it for my own good?" Li Yuan stopped attacking and looked back at Cao Cao coldly.

Cao Cao trembled a little under Li Yuan's icy eyes. He said calmly, "The less people know about this secret, the better. Dead people can't speak. If today's news gets out, not only me, but you will too." I was implicated, so I killed them, I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Li Yuan took a deep breath, he knew it was not time to turn against Cao Cao, otherwise what he did just now would be in vain, he clasped his fists and said: "The last general is guilty, he was dazzled by anger just now, please punish me, my lord."

"Forget it, this matter is nothing to worry about. If these people are your subordinates, you would do this and it's normal. Go back." Cao Cao took a deep look at Li Yuan. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Li Yuan It was someone he couldn't control, because Li Yuan's cold eyes just now made him feel an unprecedented threat, and he had only seen this kind of threat from Li Yuan.

Li Yuan also knew that now was not the time to argue with Cao Cao, he had to go back to the city immediately and ask Lu Meng to bring someone to dig Zhou Yu out, otherwise the air in the coffin would not be enough for Zhou Yu.
