Xudu’s inn is located in Beixuli.

When you go out, you can see a great avenue that leads directly to the Meridian Street.

After Liu Chuang took Xiahou Lan and his group out of the inn gate, he was about to walk towards the Meridian Street, but suddenly he heard a bowstring sound, shooting a sharp arrow from the alley on the left side of the inn gate. The arrow appeared extremely, which caught Liu Chuang off guard.

He instinctively drew his sword and blocked the sharp arrow. A shout came from the alley on the right: "Break the thief, come your life!"

Dozens of men in black rushed out of the alley, holding sharp weapons and rushed over.

Liu Chuang frowned and was about to meet him, but Xiahou Lan behind him shouted loudly: "Stop the assassin for me."

The iron-armored guards rushed forward, and Xiahou Lan held a sword in her hands and jumped in front of Liu Chuang.

"Hengruo, there are archers in the alley on the left."

Without saying a word, Xiahou Lan rushed into the alley with her sword.

At the same time, Liu Chuang walked with his sword in a big stance, and in the blink of an eye he rushed into the group of sprinters. The Juque sword flew, and the sword light shone. Several black-clothed assassins were stabbed to the ground by him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassins shouted loudly and retreated.

Liu Chuang wanted to chase him, but heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the direction of Wumen Street, and a team of patrolmen rushed over.

At the same time, nearly a hundred guards rushed out of the inn and protected Liu Chuang in the middle. Seeing this, Liu Chuang was a little uncomfortable to chase the assassin again. Xiahou Lan ran from the alley on the left and said with a puzzled look: "Young master, that assassin Yijing committed suicide."

"Didn't you kill?"

"No, when I went past, I saw the assassin Yijing dead.

The alley is a dead end. méiyou other exits. So there are no other accomplices. Only the assassin committed suicide.”

"Uncle Liu, you're fine!"

A fast horse galloped from afar.

The man was about thirty years old and was quite handsome.

Liu Chuang recognized this person as Cao Cao's clan, named Cao Xiu, and his courtesy name was Wenlie. He joined the army of Sikong Mansion. He was the Marquis of Jinwu and was in charge of the security of Xudu.

Cao Xiu came to the entrance of the inn and saw the appearance in front of him, and couldn't help but frown and reveal anger.

However, he went up to ask about Liu Chuang's safety first. Seeing that Liu Chuang was not seriously injured, he persuaded him: "Uncle Liu, it is my fault that this kind of thing happened in Xudu City. Please return to the inn for a while. Don't go out easily. After I thoroughly investigate this matter and report it to Sikong, I will definitely be fair to the emperor."

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, nodded without objecting.

He also said that in this capital, how many people want him to die?

But he was still a little qiguài, because today's assassination was really weird, and he was...

"In this way, please General Wenlie."

Liu Chuang bowed and took Xiahou Lan and the Iron Armored Guards back to the station.

After Liu Chuang returned to the post station, Cao Xiu ordered people to check the scene. He got off the horse and came to the corpses of men in black, squatted down and pulled off the face towels from the people's faces. What caught his eye was a few strange faces, which made Cao Xiu frown. He ordered people to bring the weapons used by the assassin, and also saw the clues of Shime. Dead Soldier? The two words like this flashed in Cao Xiu's mind.

If it is a dead soldier, there will be a lot of involvement behind this.

Cao Xiu did not dare to delay any more, so he quickly ordered people to send the assassin's body and weapons to Sikong Mansion, and also sent people to the inn to strictly guard the police.

"Hengruo, I always feel that today's assassination is strange."

After returning to his residence, Liu Chuang immediately ordered the iron armored guards to alert outside, and then called Xiahou Lan into the house.

"Strange?" Xiahou Lan showed a look of confusion and asked softly: "Young Master, what's weird?"

"I always feel that these assassins do not seem to want to assassinate me, but rather like, more like..." Liu Chuang couldn't say anything, rubbed his cheeks and said to himself: "These assassins are more like assassinating me for assassination, and do not seem to want to take my life."

Assassination for assassination? Isn’t it still necessary to assassinate?

Xiahou Lan was a little confused and didn't think what Liu Chuang said.

Liu Chuang said: "I said no, but I just said that they didn't want to take my life..."

Yes, this assassination seemed too turán and too simple.

Liu Chuang is known for his courage and is well known to the world.

Ruguo There are really people who want to assassinate Liu Chuang, and they will never act so simply. I remember that in Gaomi two years ago, Liu Chuang also encountered an assassination, which was led by Peng Qi. But Liu Chuang remembered that the assassination was extremely dangerous, and the other party arranged three consecutive kills, which was extremely thorough. Peng Qi could make such a careful assassination arrangement, but today's assassination seemed very simple, with the technical content of méiyouyiidiǎn.

This is also what Liu Chuang is most confused about.

If Cao Cao wanted to kill him, he would not use this method, and there was even a big fanfare.

Ruguo is Cao Cao's troops, and he would not use such a simple method, and he would even send dozens of people over... At least, they would arrange some assassins with weight. Liu Chuang would not think that he would be a Shime man who arranged such an ugly assassination?

He stood up, wandered in the room for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Hengruo, let's not ask about this matter anymore. I think it won't take too long to see the mystery of it."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The assassination outside the gate of the inn soon spread throughout Xudu City.

When Liu Bei heard the news at his residence, he couldn't help but laugh, "If you want that little thief, how dare you be arrogant?"

"Don't be proud of Xuande."

Chen Deng couldn't help but say, "I always feel that this assassination is strange."

"eccentric?"

"Yes, this assassination came too much, and according to the postmen present at that time, the assassination method was very simple.

Although there are countless enemies of Liu Chuang in this capital city, if you say that you want to kill Liu Chuang the most, it seems that only Duke Xuande is the only one. I. Duke Xuande has nothing to do with this matter. But others will inevitably involve you.

No matter what, Chuang'er came here by the emperor's edict and was waiting for the emperor to summon him.

Now that this happens, you may get involved in it... In the past two days, Xuande Gong should be more careful, so as not to be caught and hurt your feet. In addition, Xuande Gong, you'd better go to see Sikong and express your feelings to Sikong, so as not to misunderstand Cao in the end."

After hearing this, Liu Bei shook the cicada.

He realized that there might be other mysteries hidden behind this assassination.

He couldn't help but tremble and nodded quickly, "Yuanlong said so much, I'll go to visit Mr. Cao now."

However, when Liu Bei was about to visit Cao Cao, he found that it was too late.

He took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and were about to go out, but he saw a team of iron armored troops coming outside his residence and surrounding Liu Bei's mansion.

The general who led the troops was Cao Xiu, the Marquis of Jinwu.

Cao Xiu said: "Mr. Xuande, Sikong has a fate. Please ask Duke Xuande to go to Sikong Mansion alone for questions.

From today on, if there is no Sikong's order, it is best for Duke Xuande not to go out. At the same time, please restrain the troops and do not act rashly... Uncle Liu was assassinated outside the inn today. Many people think that Duke Xuande was instructed by you, so that Sikong had to do it in front of Sikong.

"Cao Cao means shime?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious and stood up and shouted loudly: "Can my brother become a prisoner?"

"Yide, shut up."

Liu Bei quickly stopped Zhang Fei, then bowed to Cao Xiu and said, "Wenlie, I am about to see Sikong, but this matter is absolutely true to me."

Cao Xiu said: "Sikong is also zhidào, this matter has nothing to do with Duke Xuande.

However, many of the spearheads pointed at Xuande Gong, so Sikong issued this order. Xuande Gong, let’s meet Sikong first. As long as Xuande Gong clears the suspicion, nothing will happen. The key is that Sikong now wants to give an explanation to all the ministers and His Majesty.”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled bitterly...

Liu Chuang was stabbed, which made Xu Du's atmosphere suddenly become tense.

At first, some people thought it was done by Cao Cao.

The congressman Zhao Yan even accused Cao Cao of being disrespectful to the emperor and not protecting Liu Chuang in person. In response, Cao Cao tried his best to defend himself, saying that the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Uncle Liu came under the order of orders, why can't the emperor meet with Uncle Liu until now?"

"Uncle Liu came to the imperial edict, and meeting the emperor was even more of a major event. It would take good care of it so that he would not lose face to the heavenly family.

Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao, I have submitted the report to the emperor and chose an auspicious day. Early in the morning of the following day, Uncle Liu will meet the emperor at Yuxiutai, so please don’t worry. This time Uncle Liu was assassinated, which was my negligence. I have ordered people to strengthen the protection of the inn and protect Uncle Liu’s safety.”

After hearing this, Zhao Yan gave up.

Then, Cao Cao sent Liu Bei again, asked in detail, and said with a wry smile: "Xuande, I'm afraid you will be wronged in the past two days. Please do not leave the mansion half a step before Liu Chuang meets the emperor. You want to be the current situation is quite unfavorable to you. Many fingers are pointed at you, thinking that Xuande, you sent an assassin to assassinate Liu Chuang. And for the moment, it is indeed the most suspicious thing for you."

Liu Bei couldn't help but scream, "Duke Cao, I admit that I have a grudge with Uncle Liu, and I am indeed very resentful to him."

But when Uncle Liu was ordered to come to the emperor, how could I go and wipe out the emperor's face? This matter has nothing to do with me, so please let Cao Gong investigate."

Of course I qingchu, this matter is with you.

But the problem now is that the situation is very complicated.

If I don't deal with you, I'm afraid I'll be implicated...

Of course, Cao Cao didn't tell Liu Bei that after the news of Liu Chuang's assassination spread, Zhong Yao, Xun Yu, Xun You... and even Guo Jia came to plead with him. This shows that shime? This shows that the assassination of Liu Chuang touched the bottom line of the Yingchuan clan.

If this matter cannot be handled well, it will cause a conflict between Cao Cao and the Yingchuan clan.

bijing, Cao Cao promised Zhong Yao that he would not ruin Liu Chuang's life.

Not to mention, a group of old Han officials were also fueling the fire behind the scenes... Cao Cao's actions could not be said at all.

Liu Bei and Liu Chuang had a grudge, and he still had eight hundred white wolves under him, which could be called a dead soldier.

To be honest, it was not Cao Cao that Liu Bei would not have made such an unwise move. Maybe he would think that it was his command.
To be continued...
