When Yang Ling decided to officially go out to help Cao Cao, he did not consider that he would be involved in factional disputes and encounter assassination.
But he never expected that he would encounter such a dangerous situation today just after he accomplished a great feat.
If he hadn't reacted in time and noticed something was wrong with the guard, he might have been shot into a sieve by Ling Yue's crossbow!
After calming down, Yang Ling immediately took Zhao Yun towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
study.
"What? Someone dares to assassinate sir?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao became furious!
Putting aside the fact that Yang Ling has made great contributions to him, you must know that Yang Ling is his future son-in-law.
Someone dared to assassinate Cao Mengde's son-in-law in broad daylight in Xudu City.
How do you know that he won't be assassinated in the future?
"Zixiu!"
Cao Cao shouted gloomily.
"The child is here."
Cao Ang on the side did not dare to neglect and stood up quickly.
"You have been in charge of the school affairs office for a while, but you don't even know about this kind of thing?"
Cao Cao asked sharply.
He is suspicious by nature. Although he has great trust in Guo Jia, the school affairs office is too important.
Therefore, after Cao Ang returned triumphantly from Huainan, Cao Cao gradually handed over the school affairs to Cao Anglai.
"Father...this is my dereliction of duty!"
Cao Ang lowered his head with a guilty look on his face.
Assassination of Yang Ling was such an important matter, but he didn't even receive any news in advance. He couldn't be said to have neglected his duty!
"Check! Check for me immediately! Anyone involved in this matter, even the emperor, will not let him go!"
Cao Cao said sharply.
There is no doubt about Yang Ling's importance. If anyone dares to attack him, it will be equivalent to destroying his great cause.
How could he let that person go?
"My child obeys!"
Cao Ang accepted the order and left the study in a hurry.
Cao Cao took a few deep breaths before calming down and comforting him,
"Mr. Geng is frightened. Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely find out the truth about what happened today."
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Yang Ling nodded slightly.
"Fortunately, General Zilong is here today, otherwise I would have killed Mr. in vain."
Cao Cao paused, took out a long sword from behind and handed it to Zhao Yun.
"Zilong has made great achievements today. This green sword can cut iron like clay, and I will reward you with it!"
"This is the duty of the last general. How dare the last general be greedy for merit?"
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said sincerely.
"The Prime Minister is kind to you, just accept it."
Yang Ling smiled.
"Sir, you are right. Youdao is a sword that matches a hero. Zilong is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery, and this sword is suitable for him."
"Besides, with this sword, you will be able to better protect your brother in the future."
Cao Cao advised.
Zhao Yun stopped refusing and took the Qingzhi Sword respectfully.
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, then frowned and said softly,
"My husband was assassinated today, which gave me a wake-up call. He has a lot of strategies and talents. I'm afraid more people will attack him in the future. How about this? You can recruit people on your own to protect yourself."
"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness, but I don't know how many people the Prime Minister allows his subordinates to recruit?"
Yang Ling did not refuse, but agreed.
He had encountered Lu Bu on the battlefield before and was assassinated again today, which reminded him.
Nowadays, he is no longer unknown, and there are many people who want his life.
It was also time for him to recruit people to protect himself.
"Three hundred!"
Hearing this number, Yang Ling was slightly shocked.
You must know that there are only a few hundred personal guards around Cao Cao.
Young masters such as Cao Ang and Cao Pi only had dozens of guards around them.
And Cao Cao actually allowed him to recruit three hundred people, which shows how much he values him.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Yang Ling quickly handed over his hand to thank him.
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. As long as you are safe and sound, that's the best."
Cao Cao smiled.
…
While Cao Cao was talking to Yang Ling, Cao Pi was furious in the yard!
"You guys are really useless, so many people haven't killed Yang Ling yet!"
He growled in a low voice.
The originally handsome face was now extremely distorted!
There was a group of guards standing in the yard. They were the men in black who assassinated Yang Ling.
At this time, they had taken off their black clothes and were standing there, bearing the wrath of Cao Pi.
Yes, it was Cao Pi who sent people to assassinate Yang Ling!
"Sir, it's completely because Yang Ling is too cunning..."
one of the guards argued.
"Shut up!"
Cao Pi's eyes were red and he said viciously,
"I got four Lingyue Repeating Crossbows for you, and you didn't even kill him. How dare you make excuses?!"
The guards were so frightened that they quickly shut their mouths and did not dare to breathe.
Cao Pi was pacing back and forth, feeling extremely depressed.
In order to get rid of Yang Ling smoothly, he took the risk and borrowed four Lingyue Repeating Crossbows from the army.
If the people under him were not so useless and could get rid of Yang Ling with clean hands and feet, then there would be nothing to worry about.
Unfortunately, these losers failed and allowed Yang Ling to escape!
If the father were to find out, with the ability of the school affairs office, it would be very likely to find out!
Otherwise...kill all these people?
A fierce light flashed in Cao Pi's eyes.
But before he could make up his mind, he heard a flurry of footsteps coming from outside the door.
"boom!"
The courtyard door was kicked open.
A group of wolf-like soldiers rushed in.
"What do you do?"
"This is the residence of Master Zihuan, don't mess around!"
Cao Pi's guards quickly blocked their way.
"The school affairs office is on business! Anyone else who is not involved should get out of the way!"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of Cao Pi and the guards changed drastically!
Who in Xudu City doesn’t know that the School Affairs Office is extremely powerful and its methods are extremely cruel. As long as they are caught, they will be peeled off even if they don’t die!
"It doesn't matter that you are from the school affairs office, you are just dogs raised by my father! If you don't get out, don't blame me for getting angry!"
Cao Pi forced himself to calm down and scolded coldly.
However, the people in the school affairs office seemed to have not heard anything and just stood there quietly.
Cao Pi frowned and was about to scold them, but he heard a sigh and remembered.
"Zihuan, why did you do such a thing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Ang slowly walked in from outside, staring closely at Cao Pi.
"Brother, why are you here? Just come, why are you bringing so many people?"
Cao Pi said with a strong smile.
But Cao Ang didn't mean to joke with him at all, and said seriously,
"You know what you did!"
"Brother, what do you mean by this? I..."
Cao Pi still wanted to quibble, but Cao Ang sighed,
"Father already knows, let me take you there."
Cao Pi stood there numbly, his face turned pale instantly!
When Cao Ang saw this, he said nothing and just waved his hand.
The spies from the school affairs office rushed forward and arrested everyone, including Cao Pi.
"take away!"
Cao Ang turned around and led everyone towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
