At the palace gate.

High security.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were in charge of guarding the palace.

But these two know what they're talking about.

They love fighting; they have no interest in standing guard and checking posts every day.

This is just a part-time job.

Therefore, this kind of trivial "security captain" job,

Naturally, the responsibility fell to Wang Bi, the garrison commander of Xudu.

Wang Bi was a meticulous man, and he was fiercely loyal to Cao Cao.

His main task was only one thing: to keep an eye on the man inside and prevent him from causing trouble.

Zhao Yu walked to the door.

Wang Bi led the Tiger Guards on a routine inspection.

Everyone leaving the palace,

Regardless of rank

They all need to be searched.

Especially those carrying burdens.

Zhao Yu swaggered over.

He was holding a plate (containing deer tendons).

A conspicuous jade belt was tied around his waist.

"Yo."

Wang Bi, with his sharp eyes, spotted it from afar and reached out to stop it.

"General Zhao,"

"Did they go to the palace for a banquet?"

"What good food did you bring? This smells... pretty good."

Zhao Yu handed the plate over.

"Deer tendon".

"It just came out of the pot not long ago, it's still hot."

"It's pretty bad, want to try some?"

Wang Bi didn't stand on ceremony; they were all brothers, they saw each other every day.

In particular, Zhao Yu saved the Prime Minister several times, so their friendship is beyond question.

He grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Yes! Imperial cuisine is truly exceptional!"

"This tastes just right!"

Wang Bi chewed on the deer tendon, squinting as he sized up Zhao Yu.

My gaze naturally shifted downwards.

I noticed the belt around Zhao Yu's waist.

"Whoa!"

Wang Bi's eyes lit up.

"This belt... is quite exquisite."

"The workmanship and materials used are clearly of high quality and come from the palace."

"Was it a gift from His Majesty?"

Several guards nearby also gathered around, looking on with envy.

"Commander, this is a really good thing."

"It's worth a fortune, isn't it?"

"It all comes down to General Zhao's influence; he gets to have a meal at the palace and takes things with him."

At this moment.

If it were Fu Wan, his legs would probably be weak by now.

Because the belt contained a blood-written letter of treason.

You can tell just by touching it.

But who is Zhao Yu?

He is a man who executes orders 100%.

Since you want to watch, then you can watch as much as you want.

Zhao Yu reached out and unfastened the jade belt buckle.

He threw it directly to Wang Bi.

"like?"

"Let me put it on you."

"If it suits you, I'll give it to you."

"Anyway, I think it's a bit flashy and doesn't quite match my low-key personality."

One should keep a low profile; the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

Wang Bi took it instinctively.

I touched it.

It's a bit thick in the middle.

It looks like there's something padding inside.

It feels somewhat hard.

It feels like folded silk.

But he didn't think much of it; after all, it was a gift from the emperor, and its craftsmanship was exquisite.

Putting some lining cloth or stuffing it with filler is standard practice, isn't it?

Besides,

If there were some hidden trickery in this, would Zhao Yu dare to just throw it to me like that?

Wang Bi gestured to his waist.

Embarrassed.

It's too short.

He was broad-shouldered and burly, and his belly was a bit big because he ate too well.

They're not as thin as Zhao Yu.

The belt could only cover more than half of his stomach.

No, no.

"I am not worthy of enjoying it."

Wang Bi shook his head with a regretful expression.

Throw the tape back.

"My waist is too thick."

"It's too tight."

"You should keep it yourself."

Zhao Yu caught the belt.

Tie it back on.

"OK."

"Then I'm leaving."

"I still need to go to the residence of the Emperor's father-in-law, Fu Wan."

"What are you going there for?"

Wang Biwen.

"His Majesty instructed me to finish submitting this tape."

Zhao Yu spoke the truth.

"He said he wanted to take a look."

"I guess it's to let him see the new design. He can also learn to make a few himself, after all, he's the emperor's father-in-law."

Wang Bi curled his lip.

"cut."

"His Majesty must be bored out of his mind in the palace."

"I spend all my time studying how to dress and style myself."

"Instead of wasting time on this, you should read more military books."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get going, don't delay my duty."

"I'm looking for you and Zhongkang to drink tonight, don't run away!"

Zhao Yu nodded.

See you tonight.

……

They left the palace gates.

Walking on the streets of Xuchang.

Zhao Yu touched the jade belt at his waist.

System prompt:

Foreign objects were detected inside the item.

Texture: Paper/Silk.

Scan?

Zhao Yu paused.

He saw it when Wang Bi touched it.

There's something in the interlayer.

"scanning."

Scanning...

Perspective mode enabled.

Writing medium: human blood (DNA match: Liu Xie).

Text recognition:

"I have heard that... Cao Cao deceived the emperor... abused his power and brought disaster to the country... he is truly a traitor to the Han Dynasty..."

"You should use this edict to... unite the loyal and righteous... and destroy this traitor..."

"Signature: Liu Xie (Blood Seal)."

Zhao Yu stood in the middle of the road.

People were coming and going around.

The steamed bun vendor and the monkey trainer.

Crowded.

But Zhao Yu's world fell silent.

The system is still analyzing.

Document type: Complaint letter.

Complaint level: highest (written by the chairman).

Target of complaint: General Manager (Cao Cao).

Complaint details: Domineering work style, bullying the chairman, demanding the general manager be fired (to eliminate this traitor).

Designated person to handle this matter: Fu Wan (father-in-law).

Writing method: Blood letter (The chairman is extremely emotional; it is suggested that if this is not addressed, he may harm himself).

"This matter... is a bit difficult to handle."

Although his history is not good

But they also knew what happened to the last imperial edict in the belt.

Dong Cheng, Wang Fu, and their entire families were executed.

Liu Bei was fast enough to escape, otherwise he would have died here too.

Now, this hot potato is going to be a problem if we give the letter to Fu Wan.

Fu Wan, that old coward,

Reading this letter will definitely get your blood pumping.

Don't get involved in all that nonsense.

Yes, the emperor told me to deliver the scroll, but he didn't mention the blood letter inside.

……

"Why aren't they here yet?"

"Why aren't they here yet?"

It's getting dark, why hasn't Zhao Yu arrived yet?

Around two or three o'clock, Fu Wan heard that Zhao Yu had already set off.

No matter what, six hours have passed.

Haven't you finished eating yet?

If he doesn't come, there are only two possibilities: First, Zhao Yu has betrayed him and sold him out.

Second, Zhao Yu was arrested and implicated him.

Regardless of which one it was, Fu Wan felt a chill on his neck.

"master!"

The butler stumbled in.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"They're here!"

"That person is here!"

Fu Wan shuddered in fright.

"Who?"

"Who's here?"

"Xu Chu? Or Cao Ren?"

(Subtext: Are they here to raid our property?)

The butler swallowed hard.

"no."

"It's... Zhao Yu."

"Marquis of Guannei, Zhao Yu."

"Thump."

Fu Wan truly knelt down.
