Just as Bai Feng and the others were about to leave Wulin and head for Yuzhang …
At the same time, in Cao Zhi's residence in Xuchang …
Cao Zhi frowned as he looked at Yang Xiu.
"You failed?"
Yang Xiu's expression was also extremely ugly as he nodded solemnly.
"Gongzi, this one is incompetent.
"I didn't expect that Bai Feng would have already taken precautions.
"None of the people I sent survived, and two of them were captured alive.
"The two of them haven't said anything yet, but if they rat me out, things will be bad."
Hearing this, Cao Zhi staggered, and the wine in his hand instantly lost its fragrance.
If they rat me out, won't I be finished?
He didn't expect that Cao Pi would be finished before Cao Zhi did anything?!
This matter wasn't as simple as breaking into the White Horse Gate at night.
He had already lost one of his right-hand men.
Once this matter was exposed by Bai Feng, his life would definitely be in danger!
Most of the factional struggles were covert. If it turned into an open struggle, and they even wanted to kill the most capable official of Great Wei, the Hanzhong Governor, things wouldn't be so simple.
At that time, even if Cao Cao wanted to protect Cao Zhi, the other officials wouldn't agree.
Moreover, whether it was in the army, the imperial court, or among the common people, Bai Feng had an extremely high prestige.
They wouldn't agree to killing Bai Feng.
Even if he was the son of Wei Emperor and was likely to inherit the throne in the future, he still couldn't do it!
Because there was still Cao Pi!
Even if there was no Cao Pi, there were still other brothers and sisters.
He wasn't the only one.
Furthermore, the matter of breaking into the White Horse Gate at night had already made many officials unhappy.
If something happened to him at this time, they would definitely not let him off.
"Gongzi, Gongzi!"
Seeing that Cao Zhi almost fell, Yang Xiu quickly helped him up and said in a deep voice,
"Gongzi! Just in case, I hope that Gongzi will cut ties with me immediately! "
"I was the one who did this, not Gongzi!"
Hearing this, Cao Zhi finally regained his senses.
"How can I do that?"
"De Zu, I've already lost Ding Yi, I can't lose you too!"
Hearing this, Yang Xiu smiled bitterly.
"Gongzi, this is easier said than done."
"If you don't cut ties with me, Gongzi's life will be in danger!"
"Gongzi's life!"
Although there didn't seem to be any movement, Yang Xiu was prepared for the worst.
The two captured were not leaders, but ordinary assassins.
If they were to be exposed, he would die!
He couldn't implicate Gongzi because of this matter!
Only Yang Xiu knew that these weren't ordinary assassins!
Feng and Yang's to the Wei Yang!
If King Wei were to find out about this, the entire Yang Clan would be finished!
.......
. "Cao Zhi tried his best to remain calm as he spoke slowly.
"De Zu, do you know what Bai Feng is doing now?"
Yang Xiu paused for a moment before replying.
"A few days ago, I heard that Bai Feng submitted a memorial to the Wei Emperor to bring some of his men to Jiangdong to spy on the situation."
"Furthermore, he has to train his soldiers."
Cao Zhi was surprised.
"That means that he's not in Hanzhong now?!"
Yang Xiu nodded his head heavily, then said:
"Gongzi, are you planning to send someone to kill Bai Feng?"
"But that's impossible!"
"Gongzi, although Bai Feng's trip to Jiangdong is a good thing, and we can use this opportunity to get rid of him."
"However, Gongzi should know what Bai Feng is capable of!"
"Even the generals under the Wei Emperor can't get close to him!"
"Furthermore, he's extremely cautious. I'm afraid that the assassins will be discovered by him!"
Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and said,
"So we can only sit here and wait for our deaths?"
Yang Xiu shook his head and said,
"No. Since Bai Feng hasn't made a move yet, it means that the two assassins haven't said anything. We still have a chance."
Cao Zhi immediately understood.
"De Zu, are you saying that you want to send someone to silence them?"
Yang Xiu shook his head again.
"No, we can't!"
"Bai Feng must have sent people to guard his trip this time. He must have set up an inescapable net and is waiting for us."
"If we're caught by him, it will only increase our danger."
After fighting with Bai Feng for so long, Yang Xiu understood Bai Feng's character very well.
Given Bai Feng's style of doing things, he would never do anything he wasn't confident in.
"De Zu, what's the chance you're talking about? Aren't we still sitting here and waiting for our deaths? "
Yang Xiu was almost roaring.
He really didn't expect that he would be reduced to such a state.
The reason for all this was because Bai Feng had become a governor.
If Bai Feng was just a military advisor, it would be fine because he didn't have an official position!
Although the military advisor had a high status, it was only an empty position.
In the army, the military advisor had an extremely high status.
But in the imperial court, no one would admit this.
But it was different now. Bai Feng now had an official position!
And it was a governor of the upper three ranks!
Under such circumstances, who could shake his position?
Cao Cao was now the Wei Emperor!
If he murdered an official under his command, he would definitely be criticized by the imperial court officials!
Even if he didn't die, he would probably lose his chance to compete for the throne!
He might even be demoted to a commoner!
Yang Xiu heaved a long sigh and said,
"Young Master, our chance now is that Bai Feng will be found in Jiangdong and he won't be able to leave Dong Yue Wu!"
Cao Zhi was slightly stunned.
"De Zu, you mean …"
Yang Xiu nodded solemnly.
"Send someone to Jiangdong and spread the news!"
"Just say that Bai Feng is in Jiangdong."
"Sun Quan is extremely suspicious, let alone news about Bai Feng. Even if he doesn't believe it, he will definitely search for it."
"Once he searches, he will definitely find some clues."
"It's best if Bai Feng dies. Even if he doesn't, it will be difficult for him to cross the river and leave Jiangdong."
"After all, Liu Bei also hates him to the core. He will definitely be stricter in Wulin."
"Bai Feng only brought 18 soldiers and a few generals. How can he fight against an army of hundreds of thousands?"
"Moreover, this will allow the Wei Emperor to use this opportunity to attack Jingzhou!"
"This is killing many birds with one stone!"
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Zhi was pleasantly surprised.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"As expected of you, De Zu!"
"Let's do it! Immediately send someone to spread the rumor. It must be spread like wildfire! "
"Since that Bai Feng is so conceited, I'll definitely make him suffer a great loss today!"
