When Wu Liang received the news, Chen Liu had already sealed the city.

Moreover, Boss Cao also tightly blocked the news. If Boss Cao's personal guards had not been ordered to deliver the message, he, like most people in Chenliu City, would still not be able to figure out the reason for this blockade.

"Mysterious disappearance...what are the specific circumstances?"

Wu Liangzi naturally thought of the "Nightmare Technique" that he had discovered before. When Cao Ang and Cao Zhen left the camp of the Hu army two days ago, they made it clear that they planned to investigate the "Nightmare Technique".

So, did these two guys accidentally get into trouble?

"I'm sorry, General Wu, but I have already issued a silence order on this matter. Not to mention that I don't know much about it. Even if I heard something, I wouldn't dare to say anything without permission."

The guard cupped his hands and said, "However, since the envoy has sent a villain to summon General Wu, he must discuss the matter with General Wu. General Wu must not delay. Please follow the villain immediately."

"good."

Wu Liang nodded and immediately stood up and asked someone to prepare his horse.

This time, he did not ask the backbone of the Hu army to accompany him. Since Boss Cao had issued a silence order, he naturally did not want this matter to be spread.

After all, Boss Cao will be commanding troops in Xuzhou soon, and Cao Ang is the eldest son he relies on most.

Now that something like this suddenly happened, regardless of whether Cao Ang and Cao Zhen can be recovered or not, for the relatively superstitious people of this era, it has a bit of a "unfavorable start" meaning, and it will inevitably have some impact on the morale of Cao's army.

As for everyone in the Hu army except himself, they are all "outsiders" to Boss Cao. Naturally, Boss Cao would not want these "outsiders" to be present.

at the same time.

Wu Liang was also thinking about the situation of Cao Ang and Cao Zhen.

He is still not sure how long these two guys have been missing, but what is certain is that the longer they are missing, the slimmer the possibility of being found, and the more dangerous their situation becomes.

After all, they might have been possessed by the "Nightmare Art", and might have turned into some kind of animals and been hidden, or even...killed and silenced!

If the time is longer, the caster will have enough time to leave Chenliucheng, or to complete the operation of killing people and destroying the corpses and eliminating traces.

It is understandable how difficult it is to trace this.

If the time was shorter and the caster was left in the city, there would be a glimmer of hope.

But even so, Cao Ang and Cao Zhen may not still be alive.

After all, there were several elite soldiers and Cao Mansion guards who disappeared with these two people. This undoubtedly increased the possibility of their identities being exposed. People who did such things were desperadoes. If the caster knew the identity of the two of them,

The true identity, in order to protect oneself and avoid a series of subsequent risks, is naturally the safest way to kill someone and silence them.

If this really happened.

Boss Cao is too miserable.

Imagine that my father died last year, and now the attack on Tao Qian has not been successful, the great revenge has not yet been avenged, and now the eldest son has mysteriously disappeared, it is simply a table of trash.

However, this is linked to real history to a certain extent.

Because historically, Cao Ang and Cao Zhen died together, but in Wancheng, more than two years later than now.

besides.

Also dead with these two people were Dian Wei and Jueying...

However, Dian Wei and Jueying are obviously not involved in this matter yet, there is no danger at present, and it seems to be quite different from the historical trajectory.

…

When Wu Liang followed his guards to the living room of the Cao family's old house.

Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu were standing on one side, while Boss Cao was pacing back and forth, his brows already twisted into knots, like an ant on a hot pot.

"You are talented, you are here!"

Seeing Wu Liang, Boss Cao's brows still didn't relax, but he quickly walked up to him regardless of his identity and asked, "I heard that Zixiu and Anmin were investigating a strange thing after they came back from your place two days ago. Please tell me quickly." Let me tell you what Zixiu and Anmin have been doing these past few days, and where might they have gone?"

Cao Ang and Cao Zhen didn't tell Boss Cao about the "Nightmare Technique" at all?

Wu Liang was slightly startled.

Cao Zhen didn't have many palaces, and he only wanted to fight and make meritorious deeds, so he probably wouldn't hide this matter deliberately.

Therefore, Cao Ang should be the one who suppressed the matter. As for his purpose, Wu Liang is more willing to believe that he wanted to handle the matter well and give Boss Cao a surprise, or he didn't want Boss Cao to bother with such a "little thing". It's not that he has any other selfish motives... After all, Wu Liang and the soldiers of the Hu army know this, so they may not be able to hide it from Boss Cao. Cao Ang is not only Boss Cao's biological son, but also Boss Cao's most suitable successor. Don't think too much about it.

in addition.

He had seen before that Cao Ang had some ideas about the "Nightmare Art", and if he really wanted to use this evil art for Cao's army, he had to avoid being criticized by the world, and naturally he had to pay attention to keeping it confidential.

"A strange thing did happen. When the eldest son left the Hu army camp, he said that he would investigate the matter to get to the bottom of it, and so on..."

Wu Liang did not hide anything. He told the story of that day in detail. He also explained the rumors about the "Nightmare Technique" in detail.

"Is there such a powerful evil magic in the world?"

After listening to Wu Liang's description, before Boss Cao and Xi Zhicai spoke, Cheng Yu couldn't help but marvel.

It is obvious that this guy, like Cao Ang, has developed a strong interest in the "Nightmare Art".

But Wu Liang was not surprised at all.

Historically, this old man could use human flesh to make meat jerky to cope with the problem of insufficient food and wages, so it is natural to think of using "Nightmare Technique" to supplement war horses, and he may have less psychological burden than Cao Ang.

only……

At this time, shouldn’t we first pay attention to the comfort of Cao Ang and Cao Chen?

"..."

Upon hearing this, Boss Cao and Xi Zhicai both turned to look at Cheng Yu with strange expressions.

"I ask you to forgive me for my sin, but my old minister made a mistake."

Cheng Yu finally came to his senses and quickly and cautiously bowed and saluted.

"In this case, Zixiu and Anmin have been investigating this matter for most of the past two days... Their mysterious disappearance is probably also closely related to this matter."

Boss Cao said attentively.

"If this is the case, please don't delay any more!"

Xi Zhicai then said, "Please give the order immediately. First of all, order the prefect Cheng to lead the Chenliu garrison to search the whole city and check the animals from house to house. Every animal must be tested by pouring water on it. If there are many animals in someone's home, If there are too many or too few, they will be brought back for interrogation, and those who speak vaguely and resist can be severely tortured;"

"Secondly, order the personal guards of the palace to go to the butcher shop where the meat was previously purchased to collect people. No matter they are shopkeepers, clerks, servants, or even the nobles behind the meat shop, no one can be spared. They will all be brought back for detailed interrogation;"

"Again, please entrust the investigation to General Wu. General Wu is a foreigner who often deals with sorcery. He is undoubtedly the best candidate!"

Xi Zhicai spoke very quickly this time, and his tone was very decisive. It was not at all the tone he usually used when discussing with Boss Cao, but a request similar to a request.

It can be seen that he has also realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, his emotional intelligence is not low, and he did not directly tell the dangerous situation of Cao Ang and Cao Zhen.

certainly.

Boss Cao is also a good person. He has known this kind of thing for a long time, so there is no need for Xi Zhicai to explain it too clearly. So after listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Boss Cao did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded to Cheng Yu.

Said: "Zhongde, you have heard what Zhicai said, go and do it quickly!"

"promise!"

Cheng Yu responded quickly and hurried out with his legs that were no longer very agile.

"Zhicai, go and arrange the personal guards of the house, and we will do as you wish. Be quick!"

Boss Cao said to Xi Zhicai again.

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai also ran out quickly.

Boss Cao finally came to Wu Liang, pressed his shoulders heavily, and said sternly: "If you are talented, I will leave this matter to you. Whether it is Chen Liu's garrison or our personal guards, you can mobilize them at will, even if they are

You can use me as you wish, I only have one request, that is, I have to dig three feet into the ground to find Zixiu and Anmin!"

Boss Cao's hand was very heavy this time.

Wu Liang was under such pressure that he could not maintain his body balance.

This is the outward expression of Boss Cao's state of mind at the moment. It's hard to say what Cao's nature is, but Cao Ang is too important to him and there must be no room for mistakes!

"promise!"

Wu Liang answered with his hands raised.

But he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

This matter is not a trivial matter. Although Boss Cao did not force him to issue a military order, it also put great pressure on him... If Cao Ang and Cao Zhen can be recovered, it will be another great achievement, but if they cannot be found, Boss Cao will

You may not be directly angry with him afterwards, and you will definitely be extremely disappointed in your heart.

This burden is not light at all...

But even if Boss Cao doesn't put pressure on him, he will still do his best. Cao Ang aside, Cao Zhen can be regarded as a good friend who can piss in the same pot with Wu Liang. Wu Liang also doesn't want him to encounter any accidents.
