In an inconspicuous corner of Xuchang City.
In a deserted house, there were a few armored soldiers dressed in night clothes.
"Brothers, the world is in chaos."
"We received a secret letter from Mr. Bai."
"Traitor Cao usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself. He's now a king and will soon become an emperor. He even killed Xun Lingjun and Xun You."
"Mr. Bai is a righteous man. He's willing to fight the traitor with us!"
…
On the way to the Prime Minister's residence.
Bai Feng's expression was gloomy.
It wasn't that Bai Feng was afraid of Yang Xiu's tricks.
On the contrary, Bai Feng was very excited.
In the past, when he fought with Wolong, Zhou Yu, and others, Bai Feng didn't use his full strength.
Apart from Zhuge Liang's surprise attack on Xuchang, everything else was under his control.
It was a good feeling, but it was boring.
As for taking Xiliang and destroying the Xiongnu …
When he took Xiliang, Ma Chao's IQ wasn't high enough. Destroying the Xiongnu relied purely on force.
Compared to these people, Yang Xiu was more interesting.
He dared to use such a dangerous trick against him. His courage was commendable.
It had to be said that Yang Xiu was indeed a smart person, and not just an ordinary kind of smart.
But now, he was facing Bai Feng.
"No, the Prime Minister shouldn't be in the residence right now."
Bai Feng's heart tightened. He immediately walked in another direction.
Copper Sparrow Pavilion!
In history, Cao Cao was assassinated at Five Phoenix House. But after Zilong and Bai Feng came, history changed.
Although Cao Cao built his capital in Ye City, he still lived in Xuchang.
The Copper Sparrow Pavilion that was supposed to be built in Ye City was renovated in Xuchang.
And Cao Cao still had plans to build his capital in Xuchang.
Cao Cao had just ascended the throne. Obviously, he couldn't stay in the residence. It was very likely that he would be at the Copper Sparrow Pavilion.
The Copper Sparrow Pavilion today was different from the one in history. It was where Cao Cao discussed matters.
On the way to the Copper Sparrow Pavilion, Bai Feng suddenly smelled something burning.
Bai Feng's sense of smell, hearing, and vision were far superior to ordinary people. This kind of vague smell could never escape Bai Feng's nose.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the burning smell.
It was already late at night. Although he couldn't see clearly, Bai Feng could still see some faint light.
"Oh no!"
Bai Feng's heart skipped a beat.
This direction was where the Cao Army's supplies were stored!
Sure enough, he didn't guess wrong!
This morning, Cao Cao declared himself king, and at night, someone came to assassinate him!
Although he wasn't sure if it was Geng Ji, Bai Feng still fell into a dilemma.
It was unknown if there were any assassins at the Copper Sparrow Terrace.
At this moment, the other direction suddenly caught fire.
Which side should he go to first?!
Moreover, the current situation was extremely critical. How could they come up with a plan to defeat the enemy?!
Xu Changcheng was going to change tonight!
"Put out the fire!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
… …
While Bai Feng was thinking, a burst of shouts suddenly sounded.
Clearly, someone had discovered that the supplies were on fire.
Li Cunxiao frowned slightly.
Bai Feng didn't tell Li Cunxiao his guess.
But as a general, Li Cunxiao knew very well that if the supplies were on fire, it would be an extremely dangerous matter.
With so many soldiers in Xu Changcheng, it would be difficult to gather supplies in a short period of time.
Once the army ran out of supplies, it would be extremely troublesome.
Thinking of this, Li Cunxiao, who had been silent all this time, whispered:
"Sir, should we inform Prime Minister Cao?"
Bai Feng didn't answer. Instead, he suddenly thought of someone.
Cao Pi!
Bai Feng did have a plan to defeat the enemy, but he needed someone to help him.
Yang Xiu couldn't be cut off from the current situation. In other words, Cao Zhi couldn't be cut off.
But Cao Pi was different!
"Come with me to Young Master Pi's residence!"
Bai Feng ordered. Li Cunxiao hurriedly followed Bai Feng to Cao Pi's residence.
Bai Feng was very clear that the ultimate goal of Yang Xiu's plan was definitely to label her as a traitor.
But Bai Feng hadn't expected Yang Xiu to make such a risky move, even going so far as to sacrifice Cao Cao's life!
Yang Xiu had already taken his handwriting, so he had probably already contacted the assassins in the city.
If he went directly to Cao Cao, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he was in the right.
Moreover, this matter was bound to have many connections with the landowning clans.
After all, only the landowning clans wanted to deal with him.
But in this situation, there were two people in the city who could help him.
One was Cao Pi, and the other was Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi obviously knew that Yang Xiu had a plan to deal with him. But he certainly didn't know that this plan would put his father's life in danger.
But even if he went to Cao Zhi now, Cao Zhi might not be willing to help him.
After all, Yang Xiu was the one who Cao Zhi trusted more than him.
But Cao Pi was different.
He had met him a few times when he was guarding Xuchang.
It could be seen that Cao Pi trusted him quite a bit.
If he went to Cao Pi, this matter might work!
Thinking of this, Bai Feng's pace became faster and faster.
He had to be fast!
Time was tight!
If he was late and something happened to Cao Cao, then it would be troublesome.
He had followed the system's mission with great difficulty and stood firm in front of Cao Cao. He was about to become his son-in-law.
If something happened to Cao Cao at this time, then he only had one path to take.
Independence!
Sun Quan and Liu Bei couldn't wait to get rid of him.
But if he became independent, then he wouldn't be able to complete the system's main mission.
There were still many functions of the system that hadn't been opened yet. If he didn't open these functions, then it would be much faster to just rely on his five thousand soldiers and a few generals under Cao Cao's command to pacify the other forces.
However, although Bai Feng went to Cao Pi, he didn't plan to form a long-term alliance with him.
Bai Feng was very clear that the only landowning clan that supported Cao Pi was the Sima Clan!
Bai Feng didn't want to be on the same side as Sima Yi, this kind of scheming, scheming, and vicious character.
If he formed an alliance with him, he was afraid that he would be tricked several times.
And if he wanted to kill Sima Yi, it would be several times harder than killing Yang Xiu.
After all, although Yang Xiu's Yang Clan was a large landowning clan, it was about the same as Chen Deng. When Cao Cao gave an order, they didn't dare to say anything.
But the Sima Clan was different.
The Sima Clan's foundation was extremely deep. Otherwise, in history, how could Cao Cao, who had seen through Sima Yi's wolf tendencies, not get rid of him quickly?
As he was thinking, Bai Feng had already arrived in front of Cao Pi's residence.
At this moment, Bai Feng suddenly noticed a group of people dressed in night clothes and armor galloping through the city in front of them on a street further away!
