Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 711

Langya's work efficiency was very high, so he rushed over with Xu Gong in casual clothes that afternoon.

When Xu Gong saw Cao Cao and the others, he immediately smiled and cupped his hands!

"Prime Minister Cao! It turns out that you are the employer this time. How do you know... that you own a killer organization?"

Seeing the harmless Xu Gong approaching, King Xu Chu immediately protected Cao Cao and several advisers.

When he heard Xia Houzhe say that this guy could kill Jue Shi, Xu Gong had already been classified as a dangerous person.

Cao Cao smiled disapprovingly, then pointed at Xia Houzhe beside him.

"You hide it very well. I didn't know it at first, but my virtuous brother is a secret. Few things in the world can be hidden from him."

Xu Gong suddenly realized, and bowed to Xia Houzhe again with admiration.

"I've met Lord Tianji, I've heard about his name for a long time, and I finally see you today! Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved!"

Xia Houzhe flicked his sleeves lightly, without being polite to him at all, and went straight to the point.

"Not to mention anything else, I know your hidden strength. You used all your strength to assassinate Sun Ce!"

"We will give you three thousand gold as a reward, and we can pay first! How?"

Hearing this, Xu Gong hesitated for a long time.

He thought over and over again the difficulty of Xia Houzhe's words in his mind.

Finally Xu Gong sighed.

"I'm afraid that if I have money, I will lose my life! Sun Ce is superb in martial arts, and he is the leader of the Jiangdong Army. If I am against him, how can I leave alive?"

"Even if I can kill him, I will suffer great revenge and lose my place! I won't do it!"

Hearing Xu Gong's refusal, Cao Ying's generals frowned, not knowing how to persuade him to act.

Judging from Xu Gong's tone, the other party seemed to really have this strength.

Only Xia Houzhe chuckled lightly, not obviously in a hurry.

"As long as you kill him, we can accept you, and you can continue to be your sheriff! I can guarantee this to you in my name!"

Faced with such a high reward, Xu Gong still rejected it righteously.

"No! Sun Ce is unparalleled in loyalty and my lord, and now I live with him!"

"It's too risky to kill him. It's possible that I'll die before I make a move."

"Besides, I, Xu Gong, acted in an upright manner all my life, how could I kill my lord just because of three thousand pieces of gold? Am I that kind of person?"

"So...you have to pay more!"

Chapter 811 The Death of Sun Ce

Everyone staggered.

They raised their middle fingers to Xu Gong.

What he said was so righteous, so it turned out that he didn't have enough bargaining chips?

"Plus! Five thousand gold, Sun Ce is worth the price! No matter how much more, anyway, when our army's killer comes, he will be dead!"

"It's just that he died sooner and later. I kill him now, just to vent my anger on my father-in-law!"

Xia Houzhe said indifferently, and flicked five thousand shining gold with his backhand, and appeared in the flat ground.

The setting sun shines on the gold, and the reflected light dazzles the viewers.

Xu Gong was directly attracted to it, and he couldn't extricate himself from it, even ignoring the opponent's method of taking things out of thin air.

five thousand gold...

After working as a sheriff all his life, he can't get five thousand!

"Fresh! I, Xu Gong, like to do business with a rich man like Mr. Xiahou! It's just...are you afraid that I won't work for the money?"

Xia Houzhe sneered at these words.

"Do you dare? If you dare to covet my money today, tomorrow I will bring an army of 80 to crush your Xu family!"

Hearing this, Xu Gong straightened his face, put away his little thoughts and smiled embarrassingly.

"Use other people's money to do things for others, then leave it to me, little Sun Ce! From now on, I, Xu Gong, will be the prime minister's man."

"If you want to lie on your stomach, I will never lie with your legs apart! The good news is for you all to wait for me!"

Xu Gong carried the gold onto the fast boat, and left Cao Ying by himself.

Looking at his leaving back, Cao Cao's complexion was complicated, but he was also deeply moved.

"Brother...thank you!"

"I've always thought you were an invincible slut, but I didn't expect you to spend five thousand gold today just to help me out!"

"Except for your sister-in-law, no one has ever treated me so well!"

Cao Cao turned his head and secretly wiped the mist from the corners of his eyes.

In troubled times, this kind of brotherhood made him cherish it very much.

Cao Cao secretly swears in his heart that whoever dares to make my virtuous brother angry in the future, I will step on a horse and stand up for him no matter what!

This...is the brother!

"Okay, what are you doing so sensational, I'm going back to study new things with Zixiu!"

"Oh, by the way, when Qing'er and I's child is born, don't forget to bring a greeting gift! Anyway, you are also the baby's grandfather..."

"The requirements are not high, just six thousand gold will be fine."

Xia Houzhe waved his hands and left the barracks with a playful expression.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched... All the previous emotion dissipated.

Sure enough, the capitalists never suffer, and this baby is thinking about the meeting gift even before he was born.

Cao Cao waved his hand and dismissed the meeting, and he himself went to find Mrs. Cai Qianli Jiangling.

After all, there is no boat, and even a sailor can't train or fight, so he can only eat and think about lust.

Time flies, ten days have passed.

During these ten days, there was no fighting.

However, in the Sun Liu coalition army, an earthquake-like event happened!

Sun Ce was assassinated and seriously injured!

"Brother! How are you doing, brother?"

Sun Quan rushed in from outside the army tent.

Looking at Sun Ce who was dying on the hospital bed with bandages all over his head, his eyes were full of worry.

"What's going on! Who can give me an explanation!"

Sun Quan roared.

He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his roar was full of power.

Zhou Tai and Lu Meng bowed their hands in shame.

"Zhongmou...my lord, he...went hunting with us in the countryside today."

"But because he was riding a fast horse, he left us behind when he chased his prey."

"Then... when we arrived, we found that the lord had been pinned to the ground by three people. We immediately killed the three assassins. Before they died, they said... that Xu Gong instructed them."

"In addition... we suspect that there is something wrong with the wine the lord drank before hunting! Otherwise, those three people would not be able to kill Bofu who is in the peerless realm."

After hearing the explanation of the two, Sun Quan burst into tears, and the murderous look in his eyes was undisguised.

Regardless of his young age, he is also a master who advocates violence.

"Go and kill Xu Gong! I want to destroy his entire clan!"

"It has been killed, and no one was left alive, and we found thousands of gold in the Xu family."

"We reckoned that Xu Gong was paid to assassinate the lord, and someone must have instructed him behind! But we don't know who this person is, could it be Cao Ying?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, looking at the unconscious Sun Ce, lost in thought.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the military tent.

"I think I know who is behind the scenes, maybe...it's not Cao Ying!"

Hearing the sound, everyone looked sideways.

I saw Zhou Yu walking in aggressively with a sword on his waist.

"According to reports from my spies stationed in Cao Ying, Cao Ying dances and sings all day without any military training at all."

"Furthermore, Cao Cao doesn't know Xu Gong well, so how could he know that he owns the Assassin Organization? Even we...are kept in the dark!"

"Thus, the one who can buy him to kill people must be someone from our side, who has a big enmity with us, and who is familiar with Xu Gong!"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed fiercely. Seeing Sun Ce's appearance like this, he felt very irritable.

Sun Quan frowned: "Gongjin, what do you mean?"

"Brother offended quite a few families when he unified Jiangdong, could it be their fault?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu immediately interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"No! They don't have the guts, they have already been scared by Bofu! The only ones who have the courage to attack Bofu are those who are not afraid of us."

"And the only one who has made enemies with us recently... is Liu Bei! Because Bo Fu and I made him and Kong Ming lose face in public."

"Besides, the day before Bofu's accident, Kong Ming came to ask Shangxiang to marry Liu Bei, but Bofu angrily refused."

"Based on what I just said, I have to suspect that Liu Bei bribed Xu Gong out of embarrassment! After all, he knew Xu Gong. A few days ago, someone saw Xu Gong drinking with Kong Ming and Chen Gong."

Zhou Yu's murderous aura surged, and he thought about this matter several times.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Liu Bei was very suspicious!

Sun Ce is Zhou Yu's good brother, but now he has been made like this, and this hatred must be avenged.

Sun Quan frowned and asked in doubt.

"I remember that Liu Bei was very poor. Where did he get so much money to pay for murder? That's thousands of gold!"

"If he wants this money, how can he still default on the salary of the general?"

After listening to Sun Quan's words, Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled contemptuously.

"Zhongmou, don't underestimate Liu Bei, he now owns four counties, no less powerful than us! And...have you forgotten Yuan Shu? Back then Liu Bei backstabbed Yuan Shu!"

"Bo Fu and I know exactly how much money Yuan Shu has. Liu Bei has occupied Shouchun for so long, so how could he have no surplus food deposits?"

"The reason why he looks poor is that he wants you to see this. This old fox is not simple!"

Sun Quan suddenly realized!

He found that compared with this old world, there was still a gap.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot, and the eagle is still his big!

Seeing that Sun Ce was dying, Sun Quan pointed to the sky and swore angrily.

"Liu Bei? If you dare to hurt my elder brother, I will cut off your siblings in the future! I, Sun Quan, will do what I say!"

As soon as the words were finished, Sun Ce quietly opened his eyes, and his pale lips parted slightly.

"Gong...Gongjin, Zhongmou..."

"Brother! Are you awake? Did my oath, brother, move you?"

Sun Quan helped him up and said excitedly,

Sun Ce laughed miserably: "No, your voice is too loud...it's disturbing me..."

Sun Quan: ...

Looking at his younger brother, Sun Ce sighed slightly.

"Zhongmou, big brother... you may not be able to bear it. From now on, the Sun family's hope can only be pinned on you."
