At the same time, in Xuchang City …
"De Zu, what did you say?"
"Bai Feng and his men are back?!"
Cao Zhi's heart tightened as he hurriedly confirmed.
Yang Xiu nodded.
"Young Master, it's absolutely true!"
"I've long sent men to keep watch near Fan City, but I didn't expect Bai Feng to really come back!"
Cao Zhi's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Why? Why?!
"This Bai Feng is just an ordinary man. He brought more than twenty men to the Shanyue, but he came back unscathed?!"
Yang Xiu looked at Cao Zhi with an extremely solemn expression.
"Young Master, should we make a move?"
"The assassins I've been secretly training have been waiting for a long time. We can set off now."
Cao Zhi frowned. After thinking for a long time, he said,
"De Zu, what do you think are the chances of making a move on Bai Feng now? Will Father find out? "
These were the two points that Cao Zhi was most concerned about.
Previously, the assassination of Jiang Wei had nearly caused Cao Zhi to worry to death.
But even so, so many assassins had died, but not a single one had been killed. Not even a single soldier had been injured.
This matter had dealt a heavy blow to Cao Zhi.
He couldn't help but wonder if the assassination would really work.
If it didn't, it would only bring him trouble.
Another point was that Bai Feng's return would not escape his father's eyes.
If the assassination was discovered, he would really be finished.
At this moment, Yang Xiu's expression was also rather grave.
Finally, he said, "It depends on whether Young Master is willing to take the risk."
Cao Zhi was slightly taken aback.
"What do you mean?"
Yang Xiu continued.
"It's clearly somewhat difficult to assassinate Bai Feng or Jiang Wei now. Even if I send out all my hangers-on, they might not succeed.
"If they don't succeed, Young Master will be consigned to eternal damnation.
"If they succeed, everything will be fine.
"But if they don't kill Bai Feng, they'll have to gamble that Bai Feng won't tell Wei Emperor about the assassination.
"After all, Wei Emperor still has a grudge against factions. Bai Feng is a smart person. If he tells Young Master, even if Wei Emperor blames Bai Feng, Wei Emperor will dislike him.
"Therefore, it's time for Young Master to make a choice."
Cao Zhi's head start to hurt.
Gamble?
These two options were both gambles!
However, he was betting on his own future. Perhaps he was betting on his own life!
Yang Xiu would never lie to him.
Because the current Yang Family was already tied together with Cao Zhi.
The Yang's Yang Master's father's's's Young Master's's
"Dezu, what do you think?"
In the end, Cao Zhi still couldn't make a decision and asked Yang Xiudao again.
Yang Xiu sighed softly and said,
"I've been thinking about this all this time.
"But if I think about it carefully, it's safer not to send anyone out.
"Why don't we wait for Bai Feng to return to Hanzhong and find an opportunity to take down Jiang Wei?
"It's better to be safe now."
This period of time, Yang Xiu was really scared.
He was not afraid that Bai Feng would take revenge on him, but on the Yang Clan.
In the past, Bai Feng did not have the power to do so.
But now, not only did Bai Feng hold the position of governor, but she had also entered Shanyue, fought back and forth, and even returned unscathed.
He brought the same number of soldiers with him when he went, and he returned with the same number of soldiers. He was not injured at all!
Once Bai Feng returned to Xuchang, Wei Emperor would definitely put him in an important position.
Most importantly, Bai Feng had won over the hearts of the people.
Therefore, no matter what, Bai Feng could not be killed.
If they wanted to weaken Bai Feng's strength, they could only start from the people around him.
But who did Bai Feng have?
Li Cunxiao!
Li Yuanba!
！
Qin Liangyu!
These three generals were all top-notch generals. The Five Elite Generals were no match for them.
Of course, this was only Yang Xiu's opinion. No one else would dare to say this.
If they did, Wei Emperor would be extremely displeased.
Therefore, Li Cunxiao and the others tried their best to keep a low profile.
The difficulty of killing them was simply too great.
Yang Xiu had previously thought of attacking Deng Ai.
In the end, Bai Feng went to Hanzhong, and Wei Emperor left Deng Ai in Xuchang.
This was Xuchang!
If an assassin was sent here, how could that work?
If Wei Emperor found out, the Yang Clan would definitely be doomed!
If they dared to cause trouble in Xuchang, they would be courting death!
Therefore, Yang Xiu could only admit defeat.
Yang Xiu was really at his wit's end when it came to Bai Feng and the others.
Among them, the easiest to attack was Jiang Wei, who had just been groomed by Bai Feng.
Now, he could only attack Jiang Wei.
However, Yang Xiu did not expect that the assassins he sent out would be completely wiped out!
These assassins were extremely skilled. Even if they were fighting against a top-notch general, as long as it was not a top-notch general like Guan Yu, there was no chance of them failing.
However, the assassination of a little brat who had just turned ten had actually failed!
Yang Xiu was really scared.
Now, he could only wait for a good opportunity to attack.
If Bai Feng turned the tables on him, it would be extremely disadvantageous for both Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu.
"Okay! Then I will listen to Dezu. "
"During this period, the two of us will not go out."
"If I meet Bai Feng, I won't be able to rest for a year!"
Cao Zhi waved his hand helplessly and sighed.
Previously, when he met Bai Feng at the market, Cao Zhi was still angry until now.
He did not expect that.
They said that Bai Feng was a military general, but he was especially good at talking and had all kinds of dirty tricks.
They said that Bai Feng was a civil official, but he was also very good at fighting. It was not difficult for him to fight against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alone.
They said that Bai Feng was a commoner, but he was not one now.
Not only was he not, but he was about to become his brother-in-law.
This matter almost made Cao Zhi die of anger.
However, these things were not something that Cao Zhi could change.
After the two of them made their decision, Yang Xiu immediately went home and temporarily dismissed all the mercenaries. He asked them to leave Xuchang and wait for an opportunity.
If Bai Feng were to use this incident as an excuse, he would at least be prepared.
At the very least, he would not be able to discover the existence of these mercenaries in Xuchang.
These mercenaries were from Yamatai. Yang Xiu was well aware of this.
If King Wei were to find out about this, the Yang Clan would definitely be exterminated.
Therefore, Yang Xiu did not dare to take the risk.
Fortunately, Cao Zhi understood Yang Xiu and agreed to his idea.
Otherwise, if the entire Yang family was destroyed because of him, then Yang Xiu would be the sinner of the entire family.
…
A few days later, Bai Feng and his entourage arrived at Xuchang safely.
Cao Cao had received the news early in the morning and personally led the civil and military officials to line the streets to welcome them.
