However, Ma Teng was very disgusted, but for the sake of the overall situation, he endured it.
"Huai Lihou, do you still have dead soldiers? Just in case, we should get rid of Zhong Ji as soon as possible." Dong Cheng was still a little scared after all.
The five hundred dead soldiers are all dead and injured, where can I find another dead soldier for you?
"Master, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that it's too late to dispatch the dead from Xiliang," Ma Teng said.
"Marquis Huaili, why can't you keep a hand?" Dong Cheng sighed.
Blame me?
Ma Teng was also impatient, and the great opportunity was just missed.
After this incident, the princes will definitely be cautious, and it is hard to say whether Cao Cao will leave the camp.
In the temporary prison, Zhong Ji was beaten into a shapeless shape.
"My lord, I'm almost out of breath." Xiahou Dun said.
"Have you checked Zhongji's address?" Cao Cao said.
"I checked, but I didn't find anything, and I have already sent people to Chang'an to arrest Zhongji's family members." Xiahou Dun said.
"Okay, if Zhongji's family is still there, then the assassination was done by the princes. If not, it is most likely the gang of ministers who have nothing to do. Of course, they may have joined forces." Cao Cao said.
"It will definitely not be found out in a short time. What about Dongyang Hou?" Xiahou Dun said.
"Isn't a captain of Changshui enough to deal with?" Cao Cao calmly said, "Just cut it off."
One sentence determines the fate of the series.
So, Cao Cao did another slap in the face, that is, just as soon as the front foot said that there was nothing wrong last night, he cut off the Changshui Xiaowei Zhong Ji who was on duty last night.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be a problem.
"Zi Huan, your father's IQ is not good." Zhou Bu doubted.
"..." Cao Pi was speechless.
"Don't bully Zihuan all the time, Meng De's behavior is a little perverted, at worst, he just stays away in the future." Liu Ke said.
"..." Cao Pi really wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in.
"Teacher, let's forget it?" Zhou Buyi said unwillingly.
"As expected, it was your enemy Dong Cheng who did it." Liu Ke said.
"Teacher, it's also possible to confuse the public." Zhou Bu doubted.
"You are still too immature. Lieutenant Changshui is not a petty official. Both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have served as eighth lieutenant. Who else can win over such a general besides the court?" Liu Ke said.
"Now the imperial court has existed in name only, but it will be dirty if you touch it. Let the prime minister do these dirty jobs." Zhou Bu doubted.
Chapter 420 Disruption
After Zhong Ji was killed, Dong Cheng finally felt relieved.
But he is not a stable master, he has a plan in mind.
"Uncle Liu Huang, I hope you can do one thing."
Although Liu Bei was unwilling, he still decided to listen to Dong Cheng's request.
"Master, please tell me!"
"You also know that a shocking incident happened last night. Since Dongyang Hou and Prime Minister Cao were engaged in a bloody fight, why did Changshui Xiaowei Zhong Ji die inexplicably? Please bring it up in the court meeting and let Cao Mengde give His Majesty an explanation! "Dong Cheng said.
The reason why Dong Cheng brings up this matter again is to muddy the water, so that no one will suspect him.
This kind of thing is absolutely thankless, Liu Bei thought for a long time, and finally agreed.Anyway, he, Cao Cao, and Liu Ke didn't deal with each other, so what if we hit the enemy's prestige?
Dong Chengxi smiled brightly, with Liu Bei in front as a pawn, and his assistance at the side, Cao Cao would definitely feel ashamed.
But Liu Bei still has doubts in his heart, is there something key to this matter that he doesn't know?
The next day, when the court meeting began, everyone was not in high spirits, because a lot of things happened yesterday, so no one went out to hunt.
Rambling about some innocuous things.
Liu Bei finally got angry and said: "The autumn hunting is a great matter for the king, and the princes have put aside their disputes. Why did Prime Minister Cao suddenly kill Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji?"
Liu Bei's words made Emperor Xian on the dragon chair look confused, what, Captain Changshui is dead?
Seeing this scene, Liu Ke couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.
Cao Cao had a serious face. Was there really collusion between the princes in this matter?
"Uncle Liu Huang, do I need your consent to do things for the Prime Minister?" Cao Cao asked.
Dong Cheng jumped out and said, "Prime Minister Cao, the lieutenant of Changshui is not young anymore, there must be a valid reason, right?"
Cao Cao glanced at Dong Cheng, this man harbored evil intentions.
It's as if the prime minister only needs one reason to kill someone.
But Cao Cao was only concerned with explaining to Liu Ke yesterday, how could he have thought that little people like Liu Bei and Dong Cheng would embarrass him?
Suddenly his face was gloomy.
