"You! You actually dared to kill a doctor! "
"You're simply lawless! If the Prime Minister finds out, he'll definitely sentence you to death! "
"Just you wait, we'll report this matter to the Prime Minister right now!"
"…"
The landowning households were instantly enraged. They glared at Bai Feng, but no one dared to step forward.
The Azure Blade in Bai Feng's hand was still dripping with blood!
"This …"
Cheng Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Cheng Yu had never imagined that Bai Feng would dare to kill a landowning household in the middle of the night!
Although Cheng Yu was also dissatisfied with these landowning households, he didn't dare to voice his anger.
These landowning households were simply too powerful. Even the Prime Minister wanted to get rid of a few of them as soon as possible.
However, there were simply too many things to take care of. The world was still uncertain. If these landowning households banded together and rebelled, it would be troublesome.
Cao Chun also widened his eyes.
Although he had followed the Prime Minister on many expeditions in the past and had seen countless bloody scenes and killed countless enemy soldiers, he still found it hard to accept this scene.
It wasn't because of the smell of blood, but because of Chen Deng!
Chen Deng had been following Cao Cao ever since Cao Cao rose to power. His family had also contributed a lot to Cao Cao in the early stages. Although he was somewhat arrogant, his status could be said to be rather high among the landowning households!
Now, Bai Feng actually killed him without even batting an eye?!
"You, are you trying to rebel?!"
Xun Yu's mouth was wide open as he spoke.
However, at this moment, Bai Feng coldly looked at the crowd. He then took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and handed it to Cheng Yu.
"Have someone deliver this letter to the Prime Minister."
Cheng Yu stretched out a trembling hand, took the letter, and hurriedly walked out of the hall.
Bai Feng had given Cheng Yu and the others a way out. Although the landowning households were indignant, they didn't say anything.
Bai Feng turned to Cao Chun and said in a low voice,
"Zihe, let's go."
Seeing this, Cao Chun hurriedly followed Bai Feng out of the hall.
Only a group of frightened landowning households was left behind. They looked at Chen Deng's corpse, which was still bleeding on the ground, and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Jia Xu, Xun Yu, and the others also watched as Bai Feng left, not daring to say a word.
This Bai Feng was not to be trifled with!
Bai Feng was a smart man. Jia Xu and Xun Yu both knew that he would never act on impulse. He must have made preparations beforehand.
Although the landowning households were not to be trifled with, the Prime Minister had long been prepared to deal with them. It was just that the time had not yet come.
"Could it be?"
Xun Yu shot a glance at Jia Xu, and both of them left the grand hall with a tacit understanding.
Xun Yu whispered.
"Could it be that killing Chen Deng as a warning to others was ordered by the Prime Minister and Bai Feng?"
"Now that I think about it, this matter isn't impossible. It's not like the Prime Minister can't do such a thing!"
Jia Xu also frowned and said, "Yes.
Bai Feng can be said to be a blank piece of paper in the Cao Camp. He has no backing and only relied on his own strength to reach his current position. But a blank piece of paper is the best weapon against the landowning households! "
"At this moment, whether it's the civil officials or the generals, including the Prime Minister, there are many reasons why they cannot attack the landowning households. But Bai Feng is fearless."
"At most, the Prime Minister can only pin a crime on Bai Feng."
Xun Yu nodded.
"Battle reports are constantly coming in from the Battle of Red Cliff. This is almost all thanks to Bai Feng's strategy. How can such a great contribution not surpass a mere Chen Deng?"
"But …"
Jia Xu hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Prime Minister did not explain this to us.
"The Prime Minister didn't explain this to us. Previously, when the landowning households caused trouble, the Prime Minister had to gather us to find a way to deal with them."
When Xun Yu heard this, he looked up and sighed.
"Sigh … Think about it. How would we know about letting Lady Mi and her son go and the Tiger Tally?"
"In this world, only the strong can rule. We're getting old. This Bai Feng can easily resolve one of Wolong's schemes after another. Be it the Battle of Xinye or the Battle of Chibi today, this Bai Feng can always break our plans."
"From the looks of it, it is reasonable for the Prime Minister to favor him."
Jia Xu stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.
"I don't care. As long as I can survive in this chaotic world and enjoy the rest of my life, isn't that better than anything else?"
"Brother Wenruo, do you think that Bai Feng's prediction of the Shu army attacking Xuchang is accurate?"
Xun Yu shook his head slightly.
"Although Bai Feng's words make sense, if I were to guess, Liu Bei's decision to abandon what is near and seek what is far away is too risky."
"Jiangxia is now an empty city. If the attack fails, Liu Bei will have no way out."
Jia Xu said, "Forget it.
This Bai Feng's thinking is indeed very different from ours. He can always catch us off guard. This time, let's strictly guard the city and watch the show. "
Xun Yu sneered.
"You're still talking about self-defense. Now that Bai Feng has taken the Tiger Tally and led the Tiger Leopard Cavalry out of the city, there are at most two thousand soldiers left in the city."
"If Liu Bei really comes to Jingzhou, I'm afraid we will die here."
"There's no other way. The Tiger Tally is in his hands."
Jia Xu shrugged and left after saying that.
At this moment, Bai Feng had already led Cao Chun's army to the street.
"Sir, Zihe still doesn't understand why you want to attack the nobles."
Cao Chun saw that there was no one around and only a few of his trusted aides were closest to him, so he asked in a low voice.
Bai Feng glanced at Cao Chun and said,
"It's not that I want to attack the nobles."
"You're in a high position in the camp. How can you not understand this?"
Cao Chun was confused by Bai Feng's words. He racked his brains but still couldn't understand Bai Feng's meaning.
Just as Cao Chun was about to ask more questions, a woman in black with a bamboo hat and a veil suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Who are you?"
Cao Chun shouted and then drew his sword.
"Protect Sir!"
Bai Feng waved his hand and stopped Cao Chun. He said to the newcomer,
"Why are you here?"
That person was none other than Da Qiao!
She dared to walk around in Jingzhou City dressed like this. Except for Da Qiao, who was specially authorized by him, who would dare to do this?
Da Qiao was expressionless. She walked straight to Bai Feng's horse and said in a low voice,
"You promised before that if I helped you, you would take me out of Jingzhou City."
Bai Feng was slightly taken aback and said,
"Did I say that?"
Da Qiao raised her head and glanced at Cao Chun, but didn't say anything else.
Cao Chun saw this and immediately understood that this woman was the old friend that Bai Feng mentioned before. He quickly turned around and ordered,
"Sir still has important things to deal with. Follow me out of the city and wait outside the city."
"Yes!"
The Tiger Leopard Cavalry received the order and immediately left as fast as lightning.
Da Qiao saw that everyone had left and said in a low voice,
