In mid-May, Guo Jia and Liu Wan, who completed their mission, said goodbye to Sun Quan and others in Jiangdong. Among the people who were saying goodbye, they also saw Cao Cao and Xun Yu, who was holding his sick body. The three of them met, laughing and farewelled. The scene made Cao Pi feel so sad...

The Jiangdong side also sent Yu Fan as an envoy to Zhu County, claiming to the public that he would go to Lingtai to pay homage to the emperor and visit the general. The Longwolf forces regarded it as their surrender to the lord Ma Han.

Ma Han specially sent Gan Ning to lead a hundred soldiers on a large boat to greet him.

Under normal circumstances, it is to go to Xia * to meet. To the south of Xiakou, the security of the envoy is the responsibility of the Jiangdong side, and to the north of Xiakou, the Longlang Army is the responsibility of the Longlang Army. However, under Cao Cao and Liu Bei's urge, Sun Quan agreed to let Gan Ning ships enter Xiakou and welcome them at Shaxian. This can convey a message. My Jiang defense has been opened to your Dragon Lang Army, and the intention of surrender is obvious enough.

Looking at Guo Jia and his party boarding the warship, Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at each other and showed a fox-like smile.

At this time, a servant rushed over and said a few words in a low voice.

Cao Cao saw it and said squintly: "What?"

Cao Pi whispered in a low voice: "The servant received a sealed box, saying it was a return gift sent by Guo Fengxiao."

Cao Cao's brows frowned into the character "chuan". Return gifts? Haven't you already given gifts to each other? What kind of return gifts are there?

Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia's back, thinking.

It was not until he boarded the Dragon Wolf Warship that the ship sailed off the river bank. Liu Wan's heart was hanging in her stomach and smiled at Guo Jia's beard: "Your prophecy is not very accurate."

Guo Jia smiled without saying a word, but just signaled Chen Dao to invite Gan Ning, and took his back to the left and right. He whispered: "There are assassins on the ship."

Although Guo Jia's words were light, they were like a thunderclap, which made Liu Wan jump up, Gan Ning's straight hair, and Chen Dao stared at him.

The three of them spoke in unison: "Who is it? Where?"

Guo Jia spread his hands: "I only know that there are assassins. As for whom and where they are, I have to trouble you to find them."

Gan Ning and Chen Dao were not reckless. After the initial shock, they quickly calmed down and began to discuss how to find the assassin.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that if there is an assassin, it is most likely to be hidden among the entourage of the Jiangdong envoy Yu Fan. The Jiangdong envoy had 34 people. Except for Yu Fan, the other 33 people were all suspicious objects.

The two generals decided to be one bright and one dark, Chen went to observe secretly, while Gan Ning was shocked. How to "shock the snake" method?

"Listen, there is an important matter." Gan Ning stood on the top of the boat and shouted with his hips: "The day before yesterday, Angel Liu received a pair of beautiful jade from Cao Gong. He was lost just now. The thief was on this boat, maybe a member of the Dragon Wolf Army or a member of the Jiangdong Army. In order to prove his innocence, except for a few envoys, the rest of the people must search and open their luggage. Those who violate the order shall be regarded as thieves and be punished!"

The whole ship was in an uproar and there were many discussions. From officials to ship workers, everyone criticized the unknown thief.

Yu Fan said in surprise: "Duke Liu's jade wall is really stolen?"

Liu Wan, who was "stolen", only smiled bitterly: "Yes, I just got on the boat for a while. The servant came to report that the jade wall was missing... Alas, although it was a good jade, it would be a pity to not see it, but such a big fight could easily hurt the harmony. The so-called clear ones are clear, and the turbid ones are turbid. If you are filial, you don't have to see it, right?"

Guo Jia smiled but refused to answer.

Yu Fan said seriously: "No, we must investigate. The envoys of Jiangdong should not blame this stigma for meeting the general in Jin and paying homage to the emperor."

This is a bit harsh, and Liu Wan won't persuade him anymore.

Gan Ning gave Chen Dao a wink, who nodded knowingly. So Gan Ning carried a pair of big iron halberds and led four fully armed entourages, and ordered the entire ship to stand one by one in batches and search them all the way.

Gan Ning first investigated the Dragon Wolf Army soldiers he brought, naturally in order to confuse the opponent who was hidden in the dark and not arouse the other party's suspicion. He could only complain to his subordinates.

The four entourages who searched were not clear, and they really thought they had lost theft. They were extremely hard to search for mistakes and missed. The boss of Gan Ning was impatient, but he was not good at urging them openly. As a result, the ship was about to sail to Xiakou Defense Zone, and only after searching for the personnel from the Longwolf Army, he naturally found nothing. It was the Jiangdong envoys group next.

The number of envoys was three times less than that of the Dragon Wolf Army. It should have been faster to search, but this is the key, so you should not be careless. The four entourages also clearly felt the invisible pressure from the lord, and they were particularly serious in searching items and body searching.

Gan Ning's leopard eyes were staring like copper bells, his whole body was tense, his hands were bent and stretched from time to time, and his two halberds seemed to be slashed out at any time.

The members of the Jiangdong mission were honest and did not dare to make any comments. Anyway, they were very innocent and calm, so they searched for it.

When they came to the stern and found a young man with a mustache, a slightly yellow complexion, wearing a thick grey man's body, the young man looked calm, lowered his head and eyes, and opened his arms and let his entourage search.

Gan Ning looked up and down the young man and suddenly said, "What are you doing?"

"Reply to the general, the little thing is the strength of the foot."

"Come on the tribute?" Gan Ning circled around the young man, "Look up and open his eyes."

The young man hesitated for a moment and did as he did.

At this time, a staff member who looked like a manager nodded and bowed: "This is a little distant nephew. I have just arrived, so I will find something for him. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me."

The manager pulled the young man and left, while the four entourages were about to search the next person. Suddenly, a whistle was heard, Gan Ning looked up and saw Chen Dao spread his hands to him.

Gan Ning also felt that the young man's eyes were wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong for a moment. After Chen Dao reminded him, he immediately shouted loudly: "Wait a minute." He handed the halberd in his right hand, stepped forward and pressed the young man's shoulder, and came over.

"Open your hands!"

The young man clenched his fists tightly, as if he was about to punch him. However, Gan Ning sneered, as if he was talking.

The young man finally opened his hands, Gan Ning held his palm, raised it to the other party's eyes, and sneered: "What's the calluses on the mouth of these hands? Don't tell me it was done by working."

Gan Ning said, inserting the two halberds hard on the boat board, and everyone could see clearly with their hands. There were the same calluses at the mouth of his hands.

It is obvious that this young man is good at using weapons, and he is a pair of weapons. Will such a person become a servant?

The young man said calmly: "When I was young, I learned swords with my father, so I had a calluse, but I didn't join the army...'

At this time, a leisurely and peaceful voice came, but it exploded like thunder: "Your father's name is Ling Cao!"

"Ling Cao!" Gan Ning was shocked and exclaimed, "You are Ling Tong!" He pulled off the beard from the young man's lips. Although his face was still yellow-brown and the color had not yet been removed, he could be vaguely recognized. It was Ling Tong. No wonder he always felt that the young man's eyes were wrong, and it turned out to be a hatred that could not be concealed.

Ling Tong no longer cared about how his sect was seen through by Guo Jia, a scholar. The enemy was right in front of him, and he was very jealous, but he did not dare to carry his swords with him. At this time, he was bare-handed and fistless. Just as Gan Ning pulled his fake beard away, Ling Tong grabbed Gan Ning's iron halberd with his backhand and rushed back.

"I want it? I'll give it to you!" Gan Ning shouted and poked forward with the flow.

Ling Tong turned sideways, rubbed the halberd blade against the halberd, and then scratched the halberd, almost cutting the halberd, and almost cutting the halberd.

Ling Tong also won a glimmer of opportunity in his adventures. He took advantage of the two of them to rush into Gan Ning's arms.

Gan Ning was hit and took a few steps back. Although his chest hurt, he was fine. It was just that this was not land, but on the boat. Gan Ning took a few steps back. His legs were tripped by the side of the ship, and his body leaned back. He almost fell off the river. Fortunately, Chen Dao threw out his long spear and shouted: "Catch it!"

The long spear flew past Gan Ning and pierced deeply into the boat board. Gan Ning's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he reached out and grabbed the spear pole, which was to avoid the disaster of falling from the Yangtze River.

Gan Ning had lost a halberd and laughed furiously: "What a Ling Gongji, no one interferes, let me capture him!"

The two of them had a halberd in their hands and violently collided together, killing each other, and the sound of gold and iron clashing constantly, sparks could be seen in broad daylight.

Yu Fan was stunned from the moment Ling Tong took action. He never expected that he would catch a thief and catch an assassin. This Ling Gongji really made a big hug.

Guo Jia said before that, and then he said slowly: "Ling Gongji, are you trying to trap Sun Bofu in an unrighteous way?"

Ling Tong, who was fighting with his life, was struck by thunder. He slowly stepped on his hand and had a sharp skin-breaking blade on his neck. Gan Ning laughed like thunder in his ears: "If the fight is fair, it will be impossible to win, but if the assassin is captured, it would be amazing."

Liu Wan was amazed at it: "Born Guo Fengxiao, he can capture thieves with words."

Yu turned his face ashen and walked to Ling Tong, who was tied into a palm, and was so angry that he was not satisfied with his strength: "Public record, public record, why is it you!"

Yes, Ling Tong is the most suitable choice for assassination guests in Cao Cao and Xun Yu. Why was Ling Tong? Why was Ling Tong willing to be the knife in the hands of others? Everything is because the person who came was Gan Ning.

Although Xun Yu did not leave his home and could not participate in military operations, he always kept paying attention to every move of the Dragon Wolf Army. When he learned that Gan Ning was about to come and take the envoy back, he had a certain plan in his mind. First, let Cao Cao and Liu Bei come forward and persuade Sun Quan to show goodwill to Ma Han and let Gan Ning pass Xiakou. Then he asked Cao Pi to invite Ling Tong to have a banquet in the mansion. The two of them were of the same age, and Cao Pi once "spoken for justice" and helped Ling Tong, and their relationship was actually good.

During the meal, Cao Pi "inadvertently" mentioned that the general who welcomed the envoy was Gan Ning.

Ling Tong couldn't hear this name, and he became angry as soon as he heard it. Cao Pi also condemned him. Then when he talked about Ling Cao, Ling Tong burst into tears and Cao Pi was touched. Finally, Cao Pi once again "responsible" and claimed that Ling Tong was confined by his promises and could not take action, so he would do it himself.

How could Ling Tong be willing to follow him? In anger and indignant manner, he had long left his promise behind his head and resolutely decided to assassinate him, but the target was not Guo Jia, but Gan Ning.

However, this does not matter to Cao Cao at all. As long as the person stabbed is an important figure in the Dragon Wolf Army, no matter whether this person is Guo Jia or Gan Ning, you don’t even have to care whether the assassination can be successful. As long as Ling Tong draws his sword, the incident will be determined.

Ling Tong thought it simple. As long as he killed Gan Ning and avenged his father, he would have to pay his life. The general must not be able to take his anger on others.

Ling Tong, after all, is too young.

Just as Ling Tong surrendered, Cao Cao also saw the box: made of fir, five feet square, with an ordinary appearance.

"Open it." Cao Cao stood several feet away and ordered his servant.

The servant raised the axe and split it in three or two. The wooden box was scattered and the thing was rolled out. It turned out to be the copper pot that Cao Cao had given to Guo Jia before!
