(Thank you Dameng! Thank you Zhao Wuxie 2014, ug, onlyareader, Grandma Bear, Nanguo* Hongdou, Guaibaobaobao555) In mid-May, Guo Jia and Liu Wan, who had completed their mission, bid farewell to Sun Quan and other Jiangdong people. Among the farewell crowd, we also saw Cao Cao and Xun Yu, who was supporting his sick body. The three of them met, talked and laughed, and said goodbye. That scene made Cao Pi feel sour Jiangdong also sent Yu Fan as an envoy to Zhu County, announcing that he was going to the Lingtai to pay homage to the emperor and pay a return visit to the general. The dragon and wolf forces regard this as surrender to their lord Ma Han. Ma Han specially sent Gan Ning to lead a hundred soldiers in a large boat to greet him. Under normal circumstances, it is picked up in summer*. To the south of Xiakou, Jiangdong was responsible for the safety of the envoys, while to the north of Xiakou, the Longlang Army was responsible. However, under the urging of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Sun Quan agreed to let Gan Ning's ships enter Xiakou and greet them at Shaxian. This can convey a message, my Jiang defense is open to your dragon and wolf army, the intention of surrender is obvious enough. Watching Guo Jia and his party board the warship, Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at each other with fox-like smiles. At this time, a servant hurried over and whispered a few words to Cao Pi. Cao Cao saw it and squinted: "What?" Cao Pi came closer and whispered: "The servant received a sealed box, saying it was a return gift sent by someone from Guo Fengxiao." Cao Cao frowned into the character "Chuan". Return gift? Haven't we already given each other gifts? Any other gift in return? Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia¡¯s back, thoughtfully. Until we boarded the Dragon and Wolf warship, the ship sailed away from the river bank. Liu Wan's anxious heart was put into his stomach, and he stroked his beard and smiled at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, your prophecy is not very accurate." Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, and just motioned to Chen Dao to invite Gan Ning. , the screen retreats to the left and right. He whispered: "There are assassins on the ship." Although Guo Jia's words were soft, they were like a thunderclap, which made Liu Wan jump up, Gan Ning's hair stand on end, and Chen Dao stared. The three of them said in unison: "Who is it? Where is it?" Guo Jia but spread his hands: "I only know there is an assassin, but who is it? Where is it hidden, I have to trouble you two to find it." Gan Ning and Chen He was not a fool at all. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down and began to discuss how to find this assassin. The first thing that is certain is that. If there is an assassin, it is most likely hidden among the entourage of Jiangdong envoy Yu Fan. There are thirty-four people in the Jiangdong mission. Except for Yu Fan, the other thirty-three people are all suspicious objects. The two generals decided to do it in the open and the other in the dark. Chen Dao observed secretly, while Gan Ning alerted the enemy. How to "scare the snake"? "Everyone, listen, there is an important event." Gan Ning stood on the flying hut on the top of the boat and shouted with his arms akimbo: "Liu Tiantian received a pair of beautiful jade from Mr. Cao the day before yesterday. He just lost it. The thief is on this boat. It is possible. He is a member of the Longlang Army, or possibly a member of the Jiangdong Army. In order to prove his innocence, everyone except a few envoys will be searched, and those who disobey the order will be treated as thieves and punished. !¡± The whole ship was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion. From officials to boatmen. Everyone condemns this unknown thief. Yu Fan asked in surprise: "Is Liu Gong's jade wall really stolen?" Liu Wan, who was "stolen", could only smile 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 is a good jade, it is not a pity, but such a big fight will easily damage the harmony. As the saying goes, the pure will become pure, and the dirty will become dirty. In my opinion, it is unnecessary." Guo Jia smiled and did not answer. But Yu Fan said sternly: "No, we must investigate. Jiangdong envoys cannot use this stigma to meet the general and pay homage to the emperor." This was a bit serious, so Liu Wan stopped persuading him. Gan Ning glanced at Chen Dao, who nodded understandingly. So Gan Ning carried a pair of large iron halberds and led four fully armed guards. He ordered all the people on the ship to stand in batches and search them all the way. Gan Ning started with the dragon and wolf soldiers he brought with him, naturally in order to confuse the opponent who was hiding in the dark, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion, and he would only feel wronged by his subordinates. The four subordinates who started the search did not know what they were doing. They thought it was stolen, so they searched with extra effort for fear of making mistakes. Boss Gan Ning was impatient, but he didn't dare to urge him. As a result, the ship was almost sailing to the Xiakou Defense Area, and only after searching the Dragon and Wolf Army personnel, naturally found nothing. Now it's the turn of the Koto mission. The number of the envoys is three times less than that of the Dragon and Wolf Army. The search should be faster, but this is the key and cannot be careless. The fourth guard also clearly felt the invisible pressure from their lord, and they searched items and body searches very carefully. Gan Ning's leopard eyes were as wide as copper bells, his whole body was tense, his hands flexed and stretched from time to time, and his two halberds seemed to be struck out at any time. The attach¨¦ of the Jiangdong mission was honest and did not dare to criticize. Anyway, he was very innocent.I am calm and let him search it. When they came to the stern of the ship, they found a young man with a mustache, a yellowish complexion, wearing a rough Gebu gray coat, and a strong figure. The young man looked calm, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and opened his arms to let his followers After searching the body, Gan Ning looked the young man up and down, and suddenly asked: "What do you do?" "To tell you what the general said, the weakest thing is your foot strength." "Are you paying tribute?" Gan Ning walked around the young man. Circle, "Look up, open your eyes." The young man hesitated for a moment, but then he did as he was told. At this time, the attendant who looked like a steward nodded and bowed: "This is my distant nephew. He has just arrived. Find something for him to do. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me, general." The steward grabbed the young man and left, and the four A retinue is preparing to search the next person. Suddenly hearing a whistle, Gan Ning looked up and saw Chen Dao spreading his hands towards him. Gan Ning also felt that something was wrong in the young man's eyes, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment. Chen Dao reminded him and immediately shouted: "Wait a minute." He handed the halberd to his right hand, stepped forward and held the young man's shoulders, and said stiffly come over. "Open your hands!" The young man clenched his fist tightly, as if he was about to punch. But Gan Ning had a sneer on his face, as if he was saying "Come on." The young man finally opened his hands, and Gan Ning squeezed his palms. He raised it up to the opponent's eyes and sneered: "What's the matter with the calluses on the jaws of these hands? Don't tell me that they are from work." Gan Ning said, stabbing the two halberds on the board of the ship, Zhang Everyone can clearly see his open hands. There are the same calluses on the tiger's mouth of his hands. It¡¯s obvious. This young man is good at using weapons, and he is a two-handed weapon. Would such a person become a servant? The young man said calmly: "When I was young, I followed my father to learn the two-handed sword, so I have a child, but I have never joined the army" At this time, a leisurely and peaceful voice came, but it was like thunder: "Your father's name is Ling Cao!" " "Ling Cao! "Gan Ning's whole body was agitated. He exclaimed, "You are Ling Tong! "Tearing off the beard on the young man's lips, although the face is still yellow and the color has not been removed, you can already vaguely recognize it. It is Ling Tong. No wonder I always feel that this young man's eyes are wrong. It turns out that he can't hide it. Hatred. Ling Tong no longer cared about how his behavior was discovered by Guo Jia, a scribe. His enemy was right in front of him, and he was extremely jealous, but he did not dare to carry his sword with him, and he was using his bare hands. The moment Gan Ning pulled off his fake beard, Ling Tong grabbed Gan Ning's iron halberd with his backhand and hurriedly snatched it back. "You want it?" for you! "Gan Ning shouted. He took advantage of the situation and thrust forward. Ling Tong turned sideways, and the blade of the halberd brushed against Ge Yi, with a crack. It cut through Ge Yi and almost caused a disembowelment. Ling Tong's adventure also gave him a chance to take advantage of the two of them. When he got closer, he jumped into Gan Ning's arms. Gan Ning was knocked back a few steps. Although his chest hurt, he was fine. It was just that this was not land, but a boat. He tripped over the side of the boat and almost fell into the river. Fortunately, Chen Dao threw out his spear and shouted: "Catch it!" "The halberd flew past Gan Ning and pierced deeply into the ship's plank. Gan Ning's quick eyesight and quick hands reached out to grab the harpoon pole, which saved him from falling into the Yangtze River. Gan Ning had already lost one halberd and was laughing in anger. : "What a great Ling Gongji, don't let anyone interfere, let me catch him! "The two of them had a halberd in each hand, and they collided violently, killing each other. The sound of metal and iron clashed continuously, and sparks could be seen flying in broad daylight. Yu Fan was stunned from the moment Ling Tong took action. Why? Unexpectedly, the thief caught an assassin. This Ling Gongji really stabbed him. Guo Jia shouted at Ling Tong Xingzang before and said slowly: "Ling Gongji, do you want to trap Sun Bofu in an unjust way?" " Ling Tong, who was fighting desperately, felt as if he was struck by thunder. With a slow movement, a sharp skin-splitting blade was placed on the side of his neck. In his ears, Gan Ning laughed like thunder: "If there is a fair fight, I will win." It's not possible to use force, but to capture the assassin, that's hard to say. " Liu Wan was amazed when he saw it: "Guo Fengxiao was born, and his words can catch thieves. " Yu Fan's face turned livid, and he walked up to Ling Tong who was tied up like a brown man. He hated iron and said, "Gongji, Gongji, why is it you! " Yes, Ling Tong is the most suitable assassin candidate according to Cao Cao and Xun Yu. Why is it Ling Tong? Why is Ling Tong willing to be the sword in the hands of others? All because the one who comes is Gan Ning. Although Xun Yu can't leave, He was unable to participate in the military plane, but he always paid attention to every move of the Dragon and Wolf Army. When he learned that Gan Ning was coming to pick up the envoy, he made a plan in his mind. First, Cao Cao and Liu Bei came forward to persuade Sun Quan to show his kindness. He sent Gan Ning to Xiakou and then asked Cao Pi to invite Ling Tong to the mansion for a banquet. The two were similar in age, and Cao Pi had "speak uprightly" and help Ling Tong, and they were close to each other.The department is actually pretty good. During the dinner, Cao Pi "accidentally" mentioned that the general who greeted the envoy was Gan Ning. Ling Tong couldn¡¯t hear this name and became angry when he heard it. Cao Pi also followed suit, and then when he talked about Ling Cao, Ling Tong burst into tears and Cao Pi wet his face. In the end, Cao Pi once again acted "righteously" and said that Ling Tong was bound by his promise and could not take action, so he would do it for him. How could Ling Tong be willing to comply? In anger and anger, he had already forgotten his promise and decided to assassinate him. However, the target was not Guo Jia, but Gan Ning. "However, this does not matter to Cao Cao. As long as the person who was stabbed was an important figure in the Dragon and Wolf Army, it didn't matter whether that person was Guo Jia or Gan Ning. It didn't even matter whether the assassination operation was successful or not. As long as Ling Tong showed his sword, the incident was already determined. Ling Tong had a simple idea. As long as he killed Gan Ning to avenge his father and pay for it with his own life, the general would not be able to offend others. Ling Tong is too young after all. Just when Ling Tong was about to be captured, Cao Cao also saw the box: it was made of fir, five feet square, and had an ordinary appearance. "Open it." Cao Cao stood a few feet away and ordered his servant. The servant raised his ax and split it open in twos and twos. The wooden box was broken into pieces, and what came out was the copper wok that Cao Cao had given to Guo Jia earlier! Cao Cao and his son approached Xun Yu, and saw the silver hook of the iron pen on it, and the six Han officials were elegant and free: "The horse eats grass (Cao), and the wok cooks the grains (Cao)."
