Chapter 73 Three Letters, Big Upgrade [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

The moonlight is bright and clear.

Cao Cao was walking forward when he suddenly heard a very faint sound.

Dian Wei behind him also sensed something and looked to the east.

In that direction was a courtyard of Cao's mansion. A figure climbed over the wall, swayed slightly, and disappeared into the night.

Female assassin Chen Ying.

"This woman is very skilled and goes out to kill people at night." Dian Wei muttered.

Cao Cao walked towards the bedroom without stopping and had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs.

Here, Chen Ying left Cao's house and used the stabbing technique she had practiced to blend into the night, advancing on top of each building as swift as a cheetah.

A quarter of an hour later, she arrived outside a heavily guarded mansion.

There was a leather scroll in his hand, covered with complicated spells.

These spells were in harmony with the spiritual charm of heaven and earth. Chen Ying opened her mouth and took a breath. The spells actually separated into wisps of light from the leather scroll, which fell off and were swallowed into her mouth and sank into her body.

Her figure became increasingly ethereal, cutting off all perceptible breath fluctuations.

She sneaked into the mansion silently and came deep inside the house. She curled up on the porch outside a bedroom in an extremely strange posture, motionless.

The space at the beam on the porch was so small that it was only half the size of a person at most.

It was incredible that Chen Ying could hide completely inside, her body was so soft and boneless.

She hid in the groove of the beam, closed her eyes, switched her breathing to internal breath holding, used the military scout's dormant technique, and waited calmly.

Wang Ji was a general under Dong Zhuo. He was tall and had a face full of short, thick black beard.

He was responsible for guarding the north gate of Luoyang, controlling the troops and deploying defenses.

As night fell, Wang Ji returned to his residence in the north city.

Dong Zhuo's men had no place to live in Luoyang, but after occupying the northern city, several generals robbed private houses and used them as a place to stay.

The house that Wang Ji chose was owned by an owner who originally had two beautiful concubines and a young daughter, and he took them both.

He returned to the inner house, and his personal guards helped him open the door of the bedroom.

Just as Wang Ji was about to enter the house, Chen Ying, who was on the beam, stretched her body in the groove, like a folded piece of paper that suddenly unfolded.

She used the process of spreading out to vibrate the secret orifices in her body, and the power that burst out instantly was extremely powerful.

Chen Ying flipped over, swung her sword, and a cold light flashed like rain, passing by.

A slender sword pierced through Wang Ji's neck.

Along with four of his personal soldiers, they were stabbed in the vitals almost at any time.

The sword light suddenly retracted and converged into one point.

These movements seemed complicated, but in fact they only took a moment. Chen Ying put away the sword and disappeared, escaping quickly.

Wang Ji was pierced through the throat by the sword. The terrifying force of the storm shattered all the vitality in his body.

The dark moon kills the night.

Chen Ying launched an assassination attack on Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

……

In the bedroom of Cao's mansion, Yu Qing was yawning, feeling very sleepy. Her watery peach blossom eyes were full of sleepiness.

It was so hard to hold on and not fall asleep.

Hearing footsteps from afar, Yu Qing became alert, tiptoed to the door and hid behind it.

Cao Cao had naturally heard it a long time ago, but he pushed the door open as usual. Yu Qing jumped out from behind the door and wanted to jump onto Cao Cao's back, but didn't dare.

Cao Cao was startled when he saw her coming out from behind the door, which made Yu Qing smile.

She was actually only twenty-three years old.

"If I come back late, you should go to bed early." Cao Cao said.

Yu Qing shook her head. During these days of contact, if Cao Cao didn't come back at night, he would send someone to inform him in advance.

And if there is a light on at home, a man will know that someone is waiting for him and will look forward to going home. This is what Yu Qing’s mother told her when she was a child.

Seeing the leather bag Cao Cao brought back, she asked curiously, "What did my husband bring back?"

Cao Cao handed the leather bag to Yu Qing.

She opened it and took a look, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

There were three fat carps in the leather bag, one big red, two green, and three jujubes.

When Yu Qing was under house arrest in the palace, she chatted with her three good friends in front of the water tank. "How did you become so thin?"

Yu Qing was very happy that Cao Cao thought of helping her get the three fish back.

In the current palace, Dong Zhuo has blocked the core area of ​​the North Palace.

The side hall where Yu Qing originally lived was no longer occupied.

Cao Cao ordered Xiao Xiang to ask his confidant to get a few fish. It was a simple task and there was no hidden danger.

At this time, Yu Qing reunited with the three fishes and hurried to the window.

The imperial guards had just received the order and brought a large vat. Yu Qing opened the leather bag and poured all his good friends into the vat.

She turned around and took Cao Cao's arm: "Husband." Her voice was sweet.

She was wearing a cold moon-colored Han-style skirt with the neckline of her top half open, revealing a touch of plump white, outlining her graceful figure vividly and attractively.

"If you want to thank me properly, move yourself up there."

Cao Cao said this with a smile and ran to the warm pool at the back.

Yu Qing thought about it before she understood what it meant and spat softly.

The night is gentle and suitable for treating diseases.

Nothing happened that night, and Cao Cao happily treated his headache.

The next morning.

In the study, Cao Cao was discussing with Jia Xu: "...We must seize the opportunity to recruit the skilled craftsmen of the Mohist School. Their preparation capabilities are indispensable."

"Most of the Mohist people are in the hands of the nobles in various places."

The two met early in the morning and had a brief conversation. When Jia Xu left, Diao Chan came in from outside, while Cao Cao was writing something at his desk.

She walked lightly, moved closer and took a look, and saw Cao Cao recording some numbers.

Eight thousand, eight thousand, seventeen thousand, one thousand two hundred.

These numbers are the Xiyuan Army, Huangfu Song's troops, the Bingzhou Army led by Zhang Liao and Yao Lu, and a group of people that were requested from Chen Ying yesterday.

The total number of troops was more than 30,000, which was a force that Cao Cao could influence and even directly mobilize.

Among these people, Huangfu Song's troops have the strongest combat effectiveness, followed by Xiyuan Army and Bingzhou Army, which are also not weak.

Cao Cao roughly estimated Dong Zhuo's troops and used the method of military calculation to deduce the enemy and our own side.

With these troops at hand, it is not difficult to defend the city gate.

[The people you arranged to go to Yecheng have arrived at Yushi]

[He is the person you carefully selected. He is reliable and will personally deliver your letter to the head of the Yu family.

The head of the Yu family is Yu Qing's father. He has been paying attention to the changes in Luoyang. He used his connections to find out that his daughter was missing in the palace. He was worried. When he saw your letter vaguely revealed that his daughter was still alive and had escaped from the palace safely, he was half-believing and half-doubting, and was very emotional.

The scout you sent out observed the situation and then took out the second letter you asked him to show at his discretion.]

[After reading the letter, Yu's father knew that his daughter was rescued by you. Although he was still skeptical, he was willing to follow the instructions in the letter and send his trusted men to Qiao County to establish initial contact.

He asked your personal soldiers to bring back his handwritten letter, wanting to make sure his daughter was still alive and to meet Yu Qing.

Your personal guard found that his reaction was consistent with your instructions, and took out the third letter you wrote.

[Yu Qing's father was very surprised. He realized for the first time your cunning and tactful thinking. He wrote three letters and took them out one by one depending on his response.

He doesn't have a very good impression of you, thinking that you are very cunning and afraid that his daughter will be bullied in your hands. But he also dispelled his doubts, seeing that you are prudent and resourceful and have plans for everything, and guessed that you really have the ability to rescue his daughter from the palace.

He began to ask his personal soldiers about you, and he was very worried about Yu Qing.]

My father-in-law is a good father-in-law, but he has a bad impression of me because I am too calculating and thinks I am cunning?

Cao Cao was not very satisfied with his father-in-law's reaction.

What happened in the Yu family was as expected. There was no conflict of interest between the two parties. It was normal for the father to be anxious to find his daughter after hearing the news.

Cao Cao made a basic judgment before sending people to test the Yu family. Things turned out pretty much as expected, and the work with Qiao County went smoothly.

[Your reputation has reached 19289/20000. The first direction will appear at reputation, and you will gain new ability upgrades]

In the morning, Cao Cao communicated with Qiao County again and made some arrangements.

In the afternoon, he went to the east gate of the imperial palace and patrolled the Xiyuan Army’s garrison.

When I returned to Cao's Mansion, the entries reappeared in front of me. My reputation rose steadily and finally reached 20,000.

[Your reputation is 20003/40000, your reputation reaches , and the prompting method is changed;
You get a boost from the infusion of reputation, your luck grows, your military strategies and cultural talents improve, and you can check them.

You have obtained the first 'direction', a hundred miles north of Luoyang, please send someone to explore and obtain it.]
