In order to avoid arousing Dong Cheng's suspicion, Guo Jia has not visited Gu Yuejue these days, but he still entrusted the replacement of Hua Tuo to check Gu Yuejue's injuries every day, and inform him of the situation when he came back.

It was learned that under Sima Yi's careful care, Gu Yuejue's recovery was slow, but he finally developed in the direction of recovery.

Since Gu Yuejue had many wounds that penetrated the flesh and blood, not to mention that she is unconscious now, even in a state of awakeness, it is impossible for her to hold the medicine cup with her hands and drink the medicine by herself, so basically Sima Yi fed it spoonful at a time.

In most cases, Gu Yuejue would frown and spit out the medicine after the medicine entered his mouth. Sima Yi was very patient with this. Sometimes a cup of medicine soup would often be fed for a long time.

In order to slow down the cooling of the medicine, he also placed the stove on his legs.

All the behaviors were seen by everyone. Hu Zhao, who had never been serious, couldn't help but smile with a gratitude when he looked at this scene. However, Zhao Rui was completely the opposite. The better Sima Yi treats Gu Yuejue, the deeper the thorn in her heart.

In fact, Guo Jia is not completely out of the matter. In the Cao Mansion, he, Xun Yu, Cao Cao and others also made various estimates of how much Dong Cheng might expand this matter.

For Cao Cao, he was blind and had a little stability in the court. If this incident caused turmoil in the situation, it would be very dangerous.

"The spy report from Shouchun said that Yuan Shu was secretly preparing for usurping the throne, and actively wooing Sun Ce who was entrenched in Jiangdong and Lu Bu who occupied Xuzhou. If Xuchang was trapped in an atmosphere of rumors and unstable people's hearts because of this incident, it is very likely that the people's hearts we have finally accumulated will collapse."

Xun Yu's words made Xun You, who had just arrived in Cao's camp, feel that it was too exaggerated. Cheng Yu explained:

"Dong Cheng was seriously injured by His Majesty several times, intending to provoke disagreement between His Majesty and His Majesty, so that he can control the power of the government. He is likely to point the finger at the lord this time, and may even be used to the point of framing the blame, so we cannot remain indifferent to this, and should..."

Cao Cao took Cheng Yu's words: "We should completely avoid any involvement in this matter. Dong Cheng is the uncle of the country and his majesty's father-in-law. This matter involves the royal family, so we must pass on the orders to make all the officials on our side be cautious in their words and actions, and not talk about Dong Cheng's assassination, nor participate in the trial of this case, so as not to cause trouble."

"Well, although basically the military power of Yanzhou and Yuzhou is under our control, it is better not to give the princes of all parties who are eyeing each other, and to those ministers in the court who are ill-hearted."

At this time, they all noticed one thing, that is, Guo Jia, who is always listless when discussing politics, or even bows his head and naps, but today he lowers his head and never speaks, with a very serious expression.

Although Dong Cheng's actions were very extreme, they were within the scope of everyone's prediction.

He brought up this matter in the morning the next day and asked Liu Xie to issue an order to investigate thoroughly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his main target is not someone else, but his number one political enemy, Cao Cao.

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao who was standing aside with a tablet. He understood that this matter was not so easy to solve. Dong Cheng had already linked his assassination with his comfort. It seemed unlikely that he would want to turn off his request:

"Uncle Dong Guodian, since you have been murdered by an assassin, I will issue an order to investigate the matter thoroughly. Once it is verified, it will be severely punished."

As he said that, he looked at Cao Cao: "I think Cao loves to be loyal to the emperor and protect the country, and will definitely help."

Cao Cao understood what Liu Xie thought, and he warned himself not to get involved. The best way to deal with it is to cooperate with Dong Cheng to avoid any trouble. He immediately bowed and said:

"There are my husbands who follow the order."

Late that night, Dong Cheng was staring at the yellow silk in his study, and at this moment, the young man's sigh came from outside the window:

"What a pity. You don't even use such a good thing after giving you."

When he looked up, Dong Cheng saw the man sitting on the window ridge with his hands folded and bent his right knee. Before he could get up and scream, he sat down again with the sharp sword on his neck.

Only then did he realize that the man holding the long sword was looking at him with an extremely cold look.

"Who are you?" Dong Cheng stared at the man in the hat with a serious attitude, full of fear and vigilance.

The figure of the man in the hat looked a little hazy under the moonlight. He raised his hand and adjusted the eaves of the hat and chuckled gently: "Don't worry, I'll help you this time."

"Help me?" Dong Cheng obviously didn't believe it.

"That's right." The corners of the mouth were slightly raised upwards under the hat, with no flaws:

"Tomorrow you can take your troops to Cao's mansion to start a military conviction, because in the third floor bookshelf of Cao Cao's study, there is a bloody clothing left by the assassin. Then you can take this opportunity to quickly eradicate him before he has time to dispatch troops."

Dong Cheng still didn't believe it: "Why should I believe you?"

"Just for the things on your case, it's enough for me to gain your trust, right?"

After saying that, the man in the hat jumped off the window. Dong Cheng thought he was coming to snatch the yellow silk from the table, so he was so scared that he quickly picked up the yellow silk and held it tightly in his hand. This move caused the man in the hat to laugh at him, and he signaled the man holding the sword to take back the long sword in his hand.

Before leaving, the man in the hat did not forget to remind him:

"This is your quickest chance to defeat Cao Cao, don't waste it."

Walking in the night path, the man holding the sword looked at the expressionless man in the hat and couldn't help asking:

"You came back specially to provoke an internal fight between Dong Cheng and Cao Cao. Isn't it too risky?"

The man in the hat smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have never had any expectations for Dong Cheng to overthrow Cao Cao. I just indirectly forced Cao Cao to rebel. However, I had some doubts in my heart, Dong Cheng didn't even have this ability."

The next morning, Dong Cheng, who had not been asleep for a night, finally made up his mind to lead a search team to surround the Cao Mansion. Cao Cao was not in a hurry to see this and calmly took Xun Yu and other advisers out of the mansion to "welcome" Dong Cheng:

"Uncle Dong Guoyu, I wonder if I want to capture Cao in such a situation today?"

Cao Cao pointed out Dong Cheng's thoughts in one sentence, but this also hit Dong Cheng's thoughts. He forced himself to suppress his excitement to tear Cao Cao apart and forced a smile: "Don't panic, Lord Cao, but I received a secret report yesterday that he found items suspected of assassin in Cao's mansion, so he dared to come to the door to ask Lord Cao to let me go into the mansion to search to prove your innocence."

"Bad!" Xiahou Yuan, who was standing beside Cao Cao, could not control his emotions and drew his sword and blocked Cao Cao:

"You dare to try one step forward!"

Seeing this, Cao Hong and Cao Zhen drew their swords and blocked them in front. Cao Cao was silent for a moment and then reached out and pressed Xiahou Yuan's shoulder:

"Miaocai retreated. Since Dong Guojiu said it conclusively, wouldn't I beg myself if I force myself to stop it?"

Dong Cheng smiled coldly, then waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him quickly rushed into Cao's mansion, and their goal was very clear, which was Cao Cao's study.

When they flocked to the entrance of the study, they found a young man in the study lying on his head and teaching two little boys to write. When they saw many soldiers outside the door approaching and blocking the case and asking, "Who are you, why are you so rude!"

The soldiers naturally knew this person. He was Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, but they were not afraid of him after being ordered by Dong Cheng:

"Young Master, don't blame me, we are ordered to act!"

After saying that, the leader signaled the soldiers to rush in and search. Seeing this, Cao Ang hurriedly took the two boys in his arms and stood aside.

After a long time, the soldiers came to report, and the results were surprisingly consistent:

"Sir, there is nothing suspicious in Cao's mansion."

"What!" Dong Cheng couldn't believe his ears and shouted loudly: "Have you ever searched carefully?"

After receiving the affirmative reply, Dong Cheng looked like a rusty face. Cao Cao smiled and said:

"Uncle Dong Guoshu, thank you. You have personally proved my innocence..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao raised his head and laughed. Not only that, the ministers standing behind him also laughed.

Dong Cheng couldn't hold back his face and left: "Let's go!"

This time, Dong Cheng's large-scale action was just a false alarm for those who didn't know it.
