Chapter 6: Assassination of Dong (Part 2)

Wang Yun felt her heart racing as he looked at her, and she said in a hushed voice, "What do you want to do"

It seems that Dong Zhuo usually has a formidable presence, but with just a little intimidation, everyone fled. After wandering around for so long, I have not seen Lü Bu or Li Ru; they must not be nearby. With this thought, Cao Cao felt a slight relaxation in his mood, while simultaneously resolving that if he were to encounter Lü Bu, he would definitely apply oil to his feet and make a quick escape

Cao Cao boldly called out: "Fat pig, fat pig"

Dong Zhuo carefully examined the two fixed thin sheets, his eyes flickering with uncertain brilliance

A few days later, when Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang with a large amount of jewelry, he turned back and shouted, "My students, wait for me, your Grandpa Cao will return." Just as Liu Bei sold straw sandals to the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao also left behind a large number of insiders in the enemy's rear. A great hero of his time, he ultimately possessed his own exceptional qualities

Respectfully, Minister, there is a woman in the royal residence named Diao Chan, who has always kept her face covered and refuses to meet anyone. I bet that she is a beauty, but Wang Yun does not believe me

As Wang Yun watched Cao Cao walk out the door, he felt as if he were in a dream. In an instant, the Seven Star Dagger had changed hands, and a wave of immense pain surged through his heart. However, would Cao Cao truly go and assassinate Dong Zhuo?

Cao Cao had never entered Dong Zhuo's bedroom, and as he quietly pushed the door open, he couldn't help but gasp in cold surprise

The person who was eating with his head down took several bites of the dish before slowly raising his head, making an effort to swallow the food, and it was none other than Cao Cao

Cao Cao lowered his voice: "As a result, Wang Yun's saliva flowed half a bowl, I swear, that was truly stunning."

It is no wonder that some people would greatly praise this bed (the one that has been decapitated), for this bed is so grand that it can only be described as "majestic".

Cao Cao glanced out the window to confirm that no one was around, and only then did he draw out the Seven Star Precious Blade, intending to take action

Although Dong Zhuo was not an extraordinary figure, he had experienced many trials and tribulations, and could be considered well-informed and knowledgeable. At this moment, he felt a slight unease, so he silently circulated his true energy throughout his body a few times, but found no issues, and immediately felt relieved.

This series of actions took no more than the blink of an eye, swift as lightning, yet Dong Zhuo's eyes had already opened wide

Today, everyone is here to brainstorm and come up with a way to seize all of Dong Zhuo's wealth... Oh, no, that's not right. It is to overthrow Dong Zhuo, restore the integrity of the court, and revitalize the Han dynasty

"Nonsense, you Cao Cao, how dare you use fake diamonds to deceive me?" Dong Zhuo slammed the table with the Seven Star Blade

Indeed, Dong Zhuo breathed through his mouth while sleeping. When a person is excessively overweight, the nose can easily become blocked, leading to obstructed airways, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Over time, this results in the evolution of mouth breathing. Dong Zhuo's mouth was not particularly small, but his face was so large that, compared to the excess flesh hanging down, the area of his mouth seemed pitifully small. Coupled with the pressure from the abundant fat, the air expelled was particularly sharp. If there were people sleeping in this room at night, they would not fear the absence of a draft.

The fixed diamond's silver thin sheet slightly opens, and the scattered form appears very natural

The Prime Minister is indeed formidable; as soon as I revealed this Seven Star Treasure Blade, I sensed the precious aura emanating from it

Wang Yun exchanged a few glances, and several military generals surrounded Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's soul flew far away, retreating two zhang. He reached into his bosom and grasped the watermelon knife, only to see Dong Zhuo, after finishing his curses, actually closed his eyes and continued to make "shoo shoo" sounds. It was then that he understood that the earlier reaction was actually a physiological response to the sight of the fat pig.

However, where should one begin? At this moment, Cao Cao realized that choosing a good place to strike was indeed not an easy task

I just smelled something delicious at the door, so I came in. It's fine, you all continue. " After saying this, he buried his head back into his food.

Hahaha, I have just sensed that this knife is extraordinary. Once I have further researched it later, I will inform you in detail.

Having been in Beijing for such a long time, I have a clear understanding of the current political situation and the state of the world. From my perspective, the delicate balance of power today hinges entirely on one individual, and that individual is Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo were to be removed, chaos would undoubtedly ensue across the land. Moreover, Dong Zhuo has long been the target of public resentment; if he could be eliminated, the current emperor would surely place great trust in the one who accomplishes this. However, the power dynamics within the court are complex, and it is utterly impossible for me to replace Dong Zhuo. Nevertheless, I hope to gain control over a military faction and plan for future developments.

Cao Cao walked forward with his head held high, while behind him, in the flower bushes and behind the rockery, there were many idle servants and ignorant young girls, following him in a large group, numbering at least a hundred. Cao Cao felt a sense of unease in his heart, realizing that being too famous was not necessarily a good thing. Fortunately, these people breathed heavily and walked lightly, which was not a cause for concern.

Dong Zhuo's small eyes glimmered: "Oh, Diao Chan."

It has long been known that Dong Zhuo takes a nap at this time. Once a person becomes overweight, they tend to have a particularly strong affection for their bed

Hello, Old Wang, if it can't be done, then it can't be done. Return my birthday gift to me, and send it again next time

"How outrageous!" A thunderous roar echoed from the Dong residence.

Suddenly, Wang Yun saw a legendary figure, and his heart skipped a beat, cold sweat pouring down. He pointed with his hand and exclaimed, "You, how did you get in here?"

Dong Zhuo took the knife and examined it closely, saying: "Could this possibly be the Seven Star Treasure Blade of Wang Yun? But looking at it like this..."

With a determined heart and a stomp of his foot, Cao Cao planned to strike at the head. Although the skull is quite hard, it is relatively a part with less flesh. With a focused strike infused with true strength, the hardness of the skull could be considered negligible... as long as he could act quickly before Dong Zhuo awoke

Thus, upon encountering Cao Cao, everyone thought about how to ingratiate themselves, and not a single person considered whether to stop him and inquire about his intentions. As a result, Cao Cao proceeded without any hindrance.

Cao Cao thus easily approached Wang Yun, his gaze fixed upon Wang Yun

No response

Cao Cao stood up and walked towards Wang Yun. The several martial generals, with their internal energy circulating, were ready to unleash a full-force strike to kill Cao Cao in one blow. However, unexpectedly, they were met with a gentle glance from Cao Cao, which immediately shook their spirits. The internal energy that was originally brimming and ready to strike became disordered, backfiring upon themselves, rushing chaotically through their meridians. They all spat out fresh blood and staggered back. Without having made a single move, Cao Cao had already severely injured these individuals.

Dong Zhuo did not have the bad habit of snoring, but now Cao Cao could clearly hear the "whoosh whoosh" sound, which came from the small mouth of Dong Zhuo as he pouted.

Cao Cao approached Dong Zhuo and gently called out twice: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister"

Although I do not consider myself a top expert, at present in the Dong residence, apart from Lü Fengxian, there is no one who truly poses a threat to me. Therefore, I will take a risk this time, for the lords and nobles, to see if I have this fate.

Dong Zhuo became interested and asked: "What is the result?"

A terrifying large hat descended, causing everyone to scatter like birds and beasts

Oh, so many people, it looks like a parade. If the Prime Minister sees this, he might think it's a collective strike demanding a raise. It wouldn't be good to be misunderstood, given the Prime Minister's wise and decisive methods, swift and resolute...

Dong Zhuo glared and scolded: "You brat, who is the fat pig? Take him out and behead him"

However, when Cao Cao had exerted seven parts of his strength, he stopped, for if he were to go all out, he would be unable to conceal his astonishing killing intent and momentum, which would not only awaken Dong Zhuo but could also alarm the nearby experts

Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to sell you

Come out, let me see who is so thoughtful

Hmm? Dong Zhuo touched the place where he was struck, suddenly falling silent, staring at the hole in the blade

It turns out that this diamond was newly set by Wang Yun, and it was not securely embedded at the time of setting. Now, under the vigorous energy of Cao Cao, it has fallen out again

Dong Zhuo felt as if he had just been bitten by something. He opened his eyes and saw Cao Cao's face, which was smiling like a blooming trumpet flower

Wang Yun pointed at him with his hand, then gestured to the surrounding people: "You, and you, you, you, you, you, have all been placed on Dong Zhuo's assassination blacklist, do you understand?"

The current situation is that on this grandiose bed, a mountain of flesh is imposing itself with great force.

Cao Cao was not born into a wealthy family and did not understand how to distinguish between real and fake diamonds. Dong Zhuo, having seen numerous jewels, was able to discern the difference upon close inspection

To be honest, this birthday cannot be celebrated any longer. Under the tyrannical rule of the traitor Dong, with the holy majesty sullied, what thoughts can a subject have about celebrating a birthday? It is no longer worth celebrating.

Cao Cao felt a tightness in his heart, wondering how to respond to the situation. A thought flashed through his mind, recalling the day he visited Wang Yun's residence and caught a glimpse of a woman. Although she was veiled in black, the faint outline of her face still made his heart race. He made a point to inquire and learned that she was a foreigner from a distant land called something like Abo, here in China for academic exchange, named Diao Chan

At this moment, Cao Cao's reputation in Dong's residence can truly be described as being at its zenith. In fact, Cao Cao has not accomplished any earth-shattering feats; Dong Zhuo's admiration for him at this stage is still limited to verbal praise and has yet to be put into action. However, the rumors surrounding Cao Cao are heard by the people in Dong's residence more than ten times a day, and everyone believes that Cao Cao is currently the favored individual before the Prime Minister Dong, with a significant potential to replace Li Ru or even Lü Bu.

Cao Cao suddenly revealed an extremely amiable smile and said, "Hand me the Seven Star Sword, and I will go and assassinate Dong Zhuo"

After collecting and hiding everyone's gifts, Wang Yun began to deliver a speech

Cao Cao was greatly startled, and without thinking, he increased the force of his strike. Regardless of the consequences, he aimed to cut down, but suddenly felt the blade tremble slightly, and a large diamond unexpectedly shot out, flying diagonally towards Dong Zhuo's arm

Cao Cao took over the conversation and said: "A couple of days ago, Wang Yun lost this knife to a minor official in a bet. However, after examining it, the minor official could only see the seven diamonds on it and could not discern anything else of significance. Given its renowned reputation, it should not merely be a diamond-encrusted watermelon knife; there must be some hidden secrets. The minor official, being foolish and lacking insight, specifically presented it to the Prime Minister, believing that with the Prime Minister's keen observation, he would surely be able to uncover its mysteries"

After circling around Dong Zhuo three times, Cao Cao still could not decide where to strike. Even the fat around his neck bulged out beyond his chin.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, signaling that he could leave. While holding the knife, Dong Zhuo's mind was still occupied with thoughts of beautiful women; even if Cao Cao had any suspicions, he would not be able to notice them at this moment

Cao Cao, who was favored by Dong Zhuo, unexpectedly appears here. If the plan to oppose Dong Zhuo is leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable. It is no wonder that Wang Yun is so anxious

To my surprise, I initially thought there were several rooms, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was actually an extraordinarily large bedroom, spacious enough for four or five horses to run in circles simultaneously. In such a vast room, there were very few pieces of furniture, and the most striking feature was the enormous bed located in the center of the house

Cao Cao walked along the long street with the Seven-Star Sword in hand, his emotions surging, for just a moment ago, he had made the most important decision of his life.

Suddenly, a dense crowd of people emerged from various places.

Although it is said that with complete concentration, even iron can cut through gold and sever silver, as soon as the blade descends and penetrates three-tenths into the flesh, Dong Zhuo would immediately awaken. With his internal strength activated, his entire body would become as hard as steel, allowing him to block or parry with his hands before the blade could penetrate any further. This five-tenths penetration, combined with the fierce blade aura, would be fatal for anyone else, but given the thickness of Dong Zhuo's flesh, it is unlikely to achieve a lethal effect. If one cannot achieve a decisive blow, engaging in conflict within Dong's residence could alert Lü Bu, and one might end up in a dire situation.

Dong Zhuo was renowned for his exceptional martial arts skills, and his corpulent physique served as an excellent shield. Moreover, he had closely examined the broken Seven Star Blade last night, studying it for quite some time. Aside from the seven diamonds on it, the blade was not much different from an ordinary watermelon knife, and the diamonds even had the counterproductive effect of increasing resistance. Despite its fame, he still brought the knife along, as it might exhibit unexpected functions when it came to actual combat, yet he remained uncertain in his heart.

Cao Cao smiled faintly again, holding the tip of the knife, and extended the handle of the knife towards Dong Zhuo

On that night, in order to avoid drawing Dong Zhuo's attention, Wang Yun, under the pretext of celebrating a birthday (which was actually still early), invited all those in Luoyang who were displeased with Dong Zhuo or who had fallen out of favor with him to a banquet.

Dong Zhuo exerted all his strength to unleash his true energy, his face turning crimson, and finally, yet another newly set fake diamond shot out.

This is an epilogue. First, let us speak of Wang Yun. Life had truly become unbearable. After countless inquiries about the ancestors of Dong Zhuo, he finally resolved to take action.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to say: "Prime Minister, I shall take my leave now"

This time it is truly obedient, although this diamond is said to be fierce, the only consequence of striking Dong Zhuo's arm is to awaken him

If you are unwilling, then I shall take my leave

Cao Cao secretly sighed, for after today, the world would lose a great wonder

Yes, bring his money over

Alas, all thoughts are fixated on money; how can one contend with Dong Zhuo in this manner? Wang Yun silently cursed in his heart, his gaze sweeping over the dining tables, searching for anyone who could genuinely offer constructive suggestions.

Cao Cao broke into a cold sweat, thinking to himself that his boastful claims contained a kernel of truth. By the time Dong Zhuo figured it out, he would have long since fled to safety.

Yours, Cao Cao

Damn, I should have known he looked down on me. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Old Wang, do you have any solutions

In a fit of rage, Dong Zhuo gripped the knife tightly, unknowingly channeling his true energy. The diamond had already fallen once, and with a slight activation of his vital energy, it burst forth again, striking Dong Zhuo's face

Not far from Dong Zhuo's resting hall, Cao Cao stopped, turned around, and waved his hand.

At this moment, fifteen miles outside Luoyang, Cao Cao had seized a horse and was heading straight for his stronghold in Qiao County

Cao Cao slowly raised the Seven-Star Precious Sword, just about to strike down, when suddenly he heard a soft sound of "ka".

The day after noon, the figure of Cao Cao appeared in front of the Dong residence

Seven Star Precious Blade, this, this

Half an hour later

It turned out that Wang Yun could not find the diamond that night, so he sent someone to polish a fake diamond of the same shape to substitute it. Later, Wang Yun had a change of heart and simply replaced it with several more fakes, a mix of real and fake, which others could not discern. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, it would not lead to total ruin.

It was only then that Dong Zhuo noticed the knife held in both hands by Cao Cao (his observational skills were naturally not as sharp right after waking up), and he couldn't help but be taken aback

Bring it over, bring it over, I want thirty percent

Wait a moment, someone, bring the watermelon, oh, the Seven Star Dagger.

"Bang!" Wang Yun slammed the table, causing the utensils on it to jump.

Cao Cao held a diamond in his left hand, tapping it against the blade, successfully embedding the diamond back into place

Thank you very much, Prime Minister

After making up his mind, Cao Cao fully activated his Tianyi True Qi, and the Seven Star Precious Saber began to emit a faint blue blade aura as his power coalesced. If Cao Cao were to gather enough strength, this strike would possess earth-shattering might

Cao Cao's reaction was extremely swift; as soon as the diamond flew out, his left hand moved like lightning, pinching the diamond securely between his index and middle fingers. However, by the time he grasped it, the diamond had already sunk five tenths into Dong Zhuo's arm. When the diamond was extracted, the skin that had been penetrated immediately returned to its original state, showing no signs of injury.

Dong Zhuo seemed to recall something, his brow twitching as he said: "It is said that this knife, the Seven Star Treasure Blade, is highly valued by Wang Yun, who keeps saying he wants to give it away, but in reality, he guards it tightly. Last time, he specifically sent someone to retrieve it, but they couldn't bring it back. Bah, that old fox. What kind of bet did you make with him to actually win back this Seven Star Treasure Blade?"
