Chenliu County City.

Cao Chun sent someone to send back the news early. Boss Cao naturally attached great importance to the matter and came to the city gate in person early to wait for Wu Liang and others.

"Where is Zhicai's head? Have you ever found it?"

After the meeting, Boss Cao immediately saw Lu Bu who was tied into a rice dumpling on the carriage. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but the first question he asked was Xi Zhicai.

"Why don't you come up quickly!"

Cao Chun shouted in a deep voice.

A soldier behind him quickly brought something up with both hands. Wu Liangming's eyes were bright and he could see at a glance that Cao Chun had at some point replaced the rag that was originally used to wrap Xi Zhicai's head.

It is a piece of silk cloth as white as wash.

This is a rough guy with finesse, and this move is undoubtedly to take care of Boss Cao's mood, and it also expresses respect and respect for Xi Zhicai.

But when Boss Cao really faced the head wrapped in silk cloth.

But he subconsciously took a step back, as if he still couldn't accept the facts in front of him, even though he had personally confirmed Xi Zhicai's body.

After staring at the head blankly for a long time.

Boss Cao finally walked up again, carefully took it from the soldier's hand, and then very slowly peeled off the outer layer of silk with slightly trembling hands.

The familiar face of Xi Zhicai gradually appeared in front of him.

Cao Chun had already ordered people to clean the blood that was originally stained on the head, and carefully tied the messy hair. Now that Boss Cao saw the head, the complexion was as pale as that of the dead, but it had returned to its original state.

A little dignity and dignity, as if he had just fallen asleep.

"Zhicai..."

Boss Cao's body shook slightly, and upon seeing this, Cao Chun quickly stepped forward to help him.

"Zhicai, you are suffering, I will take you home right now!"

Boss Cao immediately stopped him with his eyes, regained his balance, took a deep breath, covered the layer of silk again, turned around and walked towards Cao's mansion.

"..."

Looking at Boss Cao's slightly stooped lonely back, everyone felt a lump in their throats, no matter whether the people present had seen Xi Zhicai or had any friendship with him.

What they felt was the regret and grief radiating from Boss Cao, and this emotion was also contagious.

Even Wu Liang couldn't figure out whether this was Boss Cao's showmanship to win people's hearts, or whether it was an expression of true feelings from the bottom of his heart. However, it is undeniable that Boss Cao never follows the truth in this regard.

Historically, Cao Ang, Cao Zhen and Dian Wei died together in Wancheng, as was the case with Boss Cao.

He did not bury his eldest son and nephew with great fanfare, but held a grand funeral for Dian Wei, cried in person and buried him in Xiangyi. Every time he drove through Xiangyi, he had to pay homage with the etiquette of Zhonglu...

...Anyone who sees Boss Cao like this will feel lucky to be his subordinate.

"Brothers, send the military advisor home!"

As if he was infected by Boss Cao, Cao Chun suddenly let go of his throat and roared.

"Send the theater strategist home!"

Under his inspiration, hundreds of tiger and leopard riders immediately roared in unison. Wu Liang noticed that many people had red eyes in such an atmosphere.

The next moment.

"Send the theater strategist home!"

The more than a thousand accompanying soldiers roared in unison.

"Send the theater strategist home!"

On the city wall, more defenders began to roar, as if they had been practicing before. The sound spread farther and farther, and more and more people responded.

The shouts echoed over Chenliu City, as if they wanted to convey this grief to everyone in Chenliu City.

"Fuck..."

Infected by such an atmosphere, Wu Liang's nasal cavity was inexplicably sour. He had never regarded Xi Zhicai as his friend. Even when he saw Xi Zhicai's body yesterday, he didn't feel much, just a little regret and surprise.

But it is undeniable that this is a person worthy of respect, and Wu Liang respects him from the bottom of his heart.

But he ended his life in this way...

…

Wu Liang doesn't need to worry about the next thing.

Wu Liang just followed him back to Cao Mansion, and then sat in the living room and waited for Boss Cao to come and talk to him after he had placed Xi Zhicai's body, Lu Bu and others.

Of course, Boss Cao couldn't just skip Lu Bu's interrogation.

Because Wu Liang had not yet used the "Soul-Reviving Incense" to relieve Lu Bu, Lu Bu could not speak at all for a short period of time.

Sitting on the futon and playing with "Gang Mao" like this, Wu Liang was bored and unconsciously began to review the entire process of this incident.

There are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved.

Although Wu Liangzhong had some guesses, he still needed Lu Bu to confirm them. Before that, he thought it would be better not to talk too much to Boss Cao... Besides, the things he could think of should be based on Boss Cao's IQ.

As he can think of it, he doesn't need to say much.

I waited like this for about half an hour.

Boss Cao finally brought Cao Chun to the living room. At this moment, his eyes were slightly red. When he saw Wu Liang was about to stand up and salute, he waved his hand slightly to express his disapproval, and then leaned on a futon next to Wu Liang regardless of his identity.

superior.

"You two have done a great job in this matter, especially you who are so talented. You controlled Lu Bu without spending a single soldier. I'm afraid no one else would have the ability like you."

When Boss Cao opened his mouth, he first affirmed the contributions of Wu Liang and Cao Chun.

"Ming Gong's false praise is just a small precaution that cannot be put on the stage."

Wu Liang said modestly, and then he consciously took out the small bottles containing the "Lost Soul Incense" and "Returning Soul Incense" to Boss Cao and introduced them, "My lord, please take a look, what is in this small bottle"

The thing in it is called 'Lost Soul Incense', which can make the person who smells it unable to move for several hours, and this vial is 'Returning Soul Incense', which can resist and eliminate the toxicity of 'Lost Soul Incense'.

I found it accidentally in an ancient tomb, so I took it with me for self-defense."

Since Boss Cao praised him so much, he had naturally learned about what he did at that time through Cao Chun's mouth. What Wu Liang knew better was that Boss Cao was a complete careerist. Although he would be curious about this kind of sneak attack and conspiracy, he was still curious about it.

However, he was not particularly interested in it, nor would he take away his self-defense items, so he displayed them openly.

"It is indeed a rare and wonderful thing."

As expected, Boss Cao just glanced at the two small bottles a few more times, then nodded slightly and looked away, and continued, "Now that most of Lu Bu's troops have fallen into my hands, there are only a few people in the world who can be my enemies."

, but when I thought about it carefully, I found that a key person was missing."

"I wonder who Brother Mengde is talking about?"

Cao Chun was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.

"?"

Wu Liang also looked suspicious. After Boss Cao reminded him, he immediately started to recall the main personnel of the Lu Bu Group in his memory. This thought really reminded him of a person.

This person played a crucial role when Zhang Miao ushered in Lu Bu's rebellion against Boss Cao, and he has been Lu Bu's chief adviser ever since.

In history, Lu Bu was defeated at Xiapi.

This man was captured by Boss Cao together with Lu Bu and Gao Shun. In the end, he refused to surrender, causing Boss Cao to kill him together. However, Boss Cao later supported his family...

"Chen Gong?"

Wu Liang blurted out.

When they were in Anyi before, all the generals under Lu Bu's command had been surrendered to Boss Cao, including Gao Shun, who was historically led by Boss Cao, but Chen Gong was the only one missing.

But this time, Lu Bu also became Boss Cao's prisoner, but Chen Gong, the chief adviser under Lu Bu's account, was still missing.

This is indeed an issue worth pursuing.

The important thing is that Boss Cao is actually a grateful person. When Boss Cao came to Yanzhou, he received a lot of help from Chen Gong. Therefore, historically, after Boss Cao captured Chen Gong, he couldn't bear to kill him and once persuaded him to become an official again.

For his own use, but Chen Gong remained unmoved, so Boss Cao had no choice but to kill him.

I have to admit that if Boss Cao hadn't mentioned him now, Wu Liang would have ignored this person.

"Exactly this person."

Boss Cao nodded and said, "Lü Bu is brave and foolhardy. If someone hadn't been there to guide him, it would have been very difficult for him to implement some of his tricks flawlessly, let alone almost force me into a desperate situation in Anyi."

"Brother Mengde, I have carefully checked the cave where Lu Bu and others are hiding, and there is absolutely no omission. If this person is with Lu Bu, there is no possibility of escaping from my hands."

Cao Chun quickly stood up to express his position.

"Um."

Boss Cao nodded slightly, "I'm afraid only Lu Bu can tell the whereabouts of this person clearly. Compared with Lu Bu, I want to catch this person more. Lu Bu is just a reckless man, and all he can do is conspiracy."

, but the conspiracies Chen Gong can use are all to undermine my foundation. If we talk about the harm, this person is more harmful."

"Besides, he is talented."

Boss Cao looked at Wu Liang again and said sternly, "Just now Cai Zihe has told me that according to Lu Bu's close aide, Zhicai's death was most likely not Lu Bu's fault, but the man behind Wang Mangtou's manipulation.

He was sent there deliberately to frame him. Now that Wang Mangtou has been taken down by you, do you have any discoveries or guesses?"

"Reporting to Duke Ming, I am currently trapping Wang Mangtou in the cellar of my home."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said, "Last night after I designed to trap Wang Mangtou, the person behind Wang Mangtou also threatened me. Unfortunately, I still couldn't tell who the other party was through just a few words, and Wang Mangtou left.

The person who did it seems to be unable to speak independently like a living person, so it is impossible to trace this person through it."

"But now Lu Bu has fallen into our hands. He has been in contact with Wang Mangtou for several years, and he often communicates with the people behind the scenes through Wang Mangtou. Therefore, I have reason to think that Lu Bu should know a lot of information about the people behind the scenes.

, we should start the interrogation as soon as possible."
