……

This is the real reason why in those classical empires, until the last moment of the country's continuation, the leadership still maintained that ridiculous pomp and etiquette!

……

Yes, it's a bit unbelievable, but this is the truth, and it is also the difference in the way of thinking between a person from a real family and a person from an ordinary family.

Dong Zhuo came from an ordinary family, so the way he thinks is more about how to "govern" the country than "maintain" the operation and stability of the country.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt that the mighty Dong Zhuo in Luoyang didn't seem so scary anymore, not much stronger than himself.

At the very least, it can be seen from the details of this kind of governance that if he is the decision maker of the current imperial court, he will definitely be more mature and excellent than Dong Zhuo's approach.

……

Chapter 5 People's Luck Is Conserved

Not much to say, Cao Cao just followed behind a young eunuch who led the way, gradually bypassed various courtyards in the palace, and came to a palace where Dong Zhuo is currently living.

Afterwards, after greeting the soldiers guarding the gate, Cao Cao was led into the palace by the little eunuch.

……

"Lieutenant Cao, please wait here for a while. The Taiwei has been working day and night recently, and he is a little sleepy. He is still resting in the inner hall."

"When he wakes up, he will come out to see you."

Before leaving, the little eunuch gave Cao Cao some instructions, and then quietly left the palace.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, looked at the furnishings in the palace thoughtfully, then waved his hand at the little eunuch, and sat down on the cushion beside him with an honest face.

……

The current hour is just past noon, which is the most tiring time of the day.The reason why Cao Cao chose to visit Dong Zhuo with a knife at this time was naturally thinking that he could take advantage of the sleepiness of the other party to increase his chances of taking him down.

It's just that he never thought that Dong Zhuo happened to be resting now!

Wouldn't this be a good opportunity given to him by God?

……

After carefully observing the hall, besides myself, only the inner hall behind the corridor could be heard from time to time with slight breathing and snoring.

If Cao Cao's guess is correct, the person in the inner hall is probably Dong Zhuo himself.

And apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the hall.

Only the soldiers guarding the gate were left, turning their heads to look in their direction from time to time.

Although they put themselves into the palace, they did not relax their vigilance against Cao Cao at all.

Looking at their appearance, as long as Cao Cao draws his sword in the hall, or intends to enter the inner hall, he will definitely be stopped by these guys.

……

"Could it be possible to forcefully rush into the inner room and kill Dong Zhuo?"

Cao Cao lowered his brows, thinking secretly.

Cao Cao didn't know the size of the inner hall, where Dong Zhuo was, or whether there were other people present.

What if Dong Zhuo was not around if he just rushed in like this?What if there are other personal servants besides Dong Zhuo?

Cao Cao had already stumbled once at Zhang Rang's mansion, so naturally Cao Cao would not make the same mistake again.

……

It's just that in the current situation, there is no chance for him to get closer to Dong Zhuo.

If the delay continues like this, then when Dong Zhuo wakes up from his afternoon nap, he will miss the great opportunity!

How can this work?

……

Almost instantly, Cao Cao decided in his heart that he must not just rush in so hastily, and he had to find a way to sneak into the inner hall before Dong Zhuo woke up.

Regardless of the method, only after meeting Dong Zhuo would there be a chance to carry out the next assassination.

But wanting to mix in there is obviously not a simple matter.

Leaving aside whether Dong Zhuo was wary of his arrival, it would be very difficult for Cao Cao to hide the truth from the guards outside.

Dragging his chin with one hand, Cao Cao caressed the scabbard of the Seven Star Sword in his arms with the other, feeling a little worried for a moment.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he heard a faint quarrel outside the door.

After a while, a young and beautiful girl jumped into the palace.

……

"where is the guy?"

"I heard that someone came to offer a knife to Dafu, but where is that person now?"

As soon as she entered the door, the little girl yelled a few words into the room.

I saw that the other party was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a simple inner armor, not to mention his exquisite figure, but also quite handsome and tall, not like a child of the same age at all.

What surprised Cao Cao even more was the girl's hair.

As we all know, Han people have black hair and black eyes, which has almost become common sense.

And that girl, not to mention her long snow-white hair, her eyes were even more light brown, like two clear lakes, which shocked Cao Cao a lot.

……

"Hiss... is this Hu Nu?"

"No, Hu Nu only has brown eyes, and her hair is no different from that of my Han people. How can there be such a white hair, which is as weird as an old woman..."

He secretly guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, before Cao Cao had time to come to a conclusion, he saw the girl turned around and saw him.

Then, as if seeing something happy, the other party jumped up and down in front of Cao Cao, and asked him with a somewhat haughty expression:

"Who are you, why did you appear in this palace when my father was resting..."

"Could it be that you are the one who presented the sword that the guards said?"

"Quickly bring up the treasured sword and show it to me!"

……

It seemed that she was interested in the seven-star sword held in Cao Cao's hand. In the blink of an eye, the girl's eyes became a little bright, and she reached out and grabbed the scabbard in Cao Cao's arms.

And listening to her words, Cao Cao also had a vague guess about her identity...

"Could it be that this girl is Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, Weiyang Lord Dong Bai?"

"But I've never heard that Dong Bai has such a strange appearance. It's really... really a bit..."

Frowning subconsciously, Cao Cao took a step back and hid more than one meter back with the scabbard.

……

"The girl's guess is right. I am Cao Cao, the captain of the Dianjun School of the Great Han. I came to look for the Taiwei today. I found a treasured sword at home. I also heard that the Taiwei was searching for precious weapons in Luoyang recently, so I wanted to get this treasured sword. Dedicated to the Taiwei."

"I don't know who this girl is, so why come to find me?"

Frowning and asking Dong Bai, Cao Cao had already secretly planned a plan in his heart.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Dong Bai naturally snorted with some disdain.

Then, she introduced herself carelessly:

"I am Weiyang Lord Dong Bai, the granddaughter of Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, the current Taiwei and Marquis of Mei."

"Since you know that my father is looking for weapons in Luoyang City, you must know what he is talking about!"

"Father searched for military equipment, but he wanted to find a suitable weapon for me as a birthday present. Since this precious sword will fall into my hands sooner or later, why don't you hurry up and show me the sword?"

"If this knife is really as good as you said, I will directly accept it for Dafu!"

……

"Besides, I have been skilled in martial arts since I was a child, and my understanding of weapons is better than my father and others. If you use bad things as good ones and fool us with some garbage that no one wants, you will definitely not be able to hide it from my eyes!"

"At that time, I will tell my father about this and let him severely punish a guy like you!"

……

In just two or three sentences, Dong Bai vividly expressed his domineering attitude.

Between the words, there was a faint threat to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao frowned when he heard it.

Fortunately, Cao Cao is now in his 30s, so how could he care about such a little girl?

When he rolled his eyes, he thought of a plan.

Afterwards, he did not directly reject Dong Bai, but took back the Seven Star Knife in his hand a little, and then said:

"This, this can't be done."

"This knife is the treasure of Luoyang. I brought him here today to dedicate it to the Taiwei. If it was given to you directly, wouldn't it be..."

"In short, in short, it is not possible!"

After saying this, Cao Cao's face turned red in a rare way.

……

Of course, it wasn't because of urgency, it was just that he had a vague feeling that a middle-aged man in his thirties would use words like this to deceive a girl in her teens...

It's really disgusting.

……

Fortunately, his somewhat clumsy acting skills were not discovered by Dong Bai.

As in the rumors, Dong Bai is obviously more interested in personal martial arts and commanding the army than ordinary interpersonal relationships and calculations.

I saw that she was taken aback for a moment, and then she showed an expression of "I knew you were uneasy and kind":

"Do you have to give it to my eldest father instead of giving it to me directly?"

"Oh, could it be that you, like those officials in the city, want to rely on this thing to claim credit with my eldest father in exchange for rewards?"
