Chapter Thirty-Seven: Each Shows His Magical Powers
Wearing a noble court robe in winter, Cao Cao showed the supreme power and status of the King of Wei. He stalked as the throne of the King of Wei, surrounded by several personal guards led by Xu Chu.
A feeling of dominating the world immediately made the audience silent.
It seems that the person who came was not the King of Wei, but the current emperor.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt that this high distance was so strange and far away.
The banquet officially started, and dozens of beautiful girls came into the palace singing and dancing. During the banquet, everyone drank with each other, whispered to each other, and whispered.
Among them, there were people who were unaware of Si Li’s affairs and were talking about it, all trying to scrutinize Cao Cao’s thoughts.
After the dance, the field returned to quiet.
Cao Cao nodded to the left and made it clear that the censor Hua Xin immediately stood up and read the document that the Emperor had approved the King of Wei to establish his heir.
Once this official document is published, it means that the succession and determination of the position of King Wei is confirmed, and there is no possibility of any change.
Although Zhou Yang knew that Cao Cao had recognized Cao Pi, his heart was still uneasy, afraid that something would happen in the middle of the journey.
However, when Hua Xin thought of "the eldest son Cao Pi", it was not only Zhou Yang, but also everyone on the field had a low and uproaring sound.
"The succession of the throne has finally been confirmed." Jia Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the country is finally moving towards a new future."
"It's indeed the eldest son!" There were also voices from other seats.
"Although Zijian is an outstanding talent, Cao Gong always respects tradition."
"It can also be regarded as a blessing for the country and the country."
"It seems we're all wrong."
Countless voices of discussion rose up in Zhou Yang's ears.
After Hua Xin sat back on his seat, all the officials began to give congratulations to Cao Cao and Cao Pi one after another. Many officials who originally supported Cao Zhi immediately changed their positions and all pretended to be happy.
Cao Zhi was also happy for his brother and came forward to toast Cao Pi himself.
At this time, as an old man in a loose robe outside the hall walked in, attracting everyone's attention, the field returned to quiet again.
Cao Cao introduced to everyone: "Tonight, Mr. Zuo Ci, the alchemist of the Danding School, will perform some good shows for everyone."
Everyone showed anticipated eyes.
But Zhou Yang was thinking in his heart, what would Cao Cao have thought if he knew that it would be Zuo Ci who sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion that day?
"Boom--" Zuo Ci lifted up his robe and exposed his alchemist robe.
The robe was thrown into the air, and several flames seemed to shoot out around it, and the field was filled with smoke.
Xu Chu, who stood beside Cao Cao, immediately became alert and kept close to his body.
Only Zhou Yang knew in his heart that Zuo Ci had no malice.
When Zuo Ci started to perform various fantasy magic to everyone, everyone was amazed and surprised.
Zhou Yang took the opportunity to stand up and bowed, "The son-in-law also has an expert in illusionism. I hope he can also come up and perform with Mr. Zuo Ci. I wonder what Cao Gong wants?"
Cao Cao nodded and smiled, "It's so good."
So Zhou Yang ordered people to summon Fang Dongshuo.
After a while, Dongfang Shuo, who was also wearing a long robe, slowly arrived from the entrance of the hall.
When he saw his master Zuo Ci, a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes and disappeared immediately.
Zhou Yang thought it was his illusion, but when he saw Dongfang Shuo gradually approaching Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci also walked towards him.
The two of them didn't look like masters, but more like enemies meeting each other, and they were particularly jealous.
Suddenly, Zuo Ci waved his sleeves, and a group of white doves flew out from behind him and soared into the sky.
Dongfang Shuo was not showing weakness either. He seemed to be holding two spherical objects that were hidden in his hands, and then opened his eyes wide and threw them out towards Zuo Ci.
The fireball immediately turned into two fogs and shot away, and in the air it seemed to have dragon-shaped, tiger-shaped, phoenix-shaped and various strange fog shapes.
Zhou Yang was dumbfounded and secretly sweated for Zuo Ci.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Shuo was so cruel as soon as he took action. He didn't seem to be performing any magic tricks, but he seemed to be taking the other person's life.
The two of them used their own skills. The fire dragons intertwined in the banquet hall, and the fog phoenix flew into the air, which was extremely strange.
However, Zhou Yang knew that all this was an illusion and did not exist. As long as he had a firm will, it was not a fear.
Therefore, these flames soar into the sky and the colorful phantoms added a lot of fun to the banquet.
But Zhou Yang never understood why Cao Cao summoned a strange man like Zuo Ci to perform magic at such a banquet?
I saw Jia Xu beside me looking at the deeper his mood, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you think it's wonderful?"
The other party said, "Excellent?"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Yes! Is Mr. Jia unmoved with such a beautiful performance?"
Jia Xu sighed: "I only see the beauty of this beauty, and there is a smell of killing pokes hidden."
Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard this, his eyes moved away from the performance of Zuo Ci and Dongfang Shuo, and began to scan the audience in the table, and finally stared at the officials opposite him who were whispering to each other.
These are Geng Ji, the Central Young Master, Wei Huang, the Prime Minister, Ling Jiben, and Jin Yi. They were restless and sweating on their foreheads were stomping on their backs.
Zhou Yang seemed to have guessed some clues and felt something was wrong.
Maybe Jia Xu is right, there is indeed a hidden smell of killing. Could it be that it is related to these pro-Chinese elements who secretly collude with cliques?
At the same time, Dongfang Shuo was dancing his arms, rolling up a wind like a tiger and wolf in the air, and shooting towards Zuo Ci.
Zuo Ci's face did not change her expression, and she let the strong wind hit her, and disappeared in an instant.
This change immediately caused chaos on the field.
Cao Pi on the stage also stood up in shock, looked around, looking around for Zuo Ci's traces.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice beside him: "Don't panic."
Zhou Yang also searched for Zuo Ci's figure everywhere. He knew that even if he found it, it might be just a afterimage.
Only Dongfang Shuo always stood there, motionless, but his sleeves and robe were trembling without wind, and the fog around him became more and more fascinating.
"Mr. Geng...Mr. Geng..."
With a loud scream during the meal, everyone's eyes were attracted again.
During the meal, Geng Ji, the young master in the middle, was slapped at the wine table. Wei Huang, Jimoto and Jin Yi were staring at him with their eyes fixed on him, and said tremblingly: "Mr. Geng is dead."
After saying that, Geng Ji's blood flowed out from the wine table.
Suddenly there was another "boom" sound, and Dongfang Shuo also disappeared into the smoke.
A banquet was stained with blood.
At this moment, Cao Cao casually said: "Catch the murderer Zuo Ci, never let him escape."
Zhou Yang suddenly came to his senses. Everything just now came so suddenly, and it seemed to be in magic or illusion.
Even he himself is not sure whether it is true or false.
After Cao Cao issued an order, the soldiers chased out of the hall one after another.
Not long after, Dongfang Shuo walked in from outside the hall. He didn't look at Zhou Yang, but bowed to Cao Cao and said, "I didn't chase Zuo Ci, but I hope the King of Wei will forgive me."
Then he turned around and apologized and said, "Please calm down the anger of the Hou of Zhou."
Cao Cao immediately said, "This is not your fault. Gu Yi ordered the guard to capture Zuo Ci. I believe that there will be results soon."
Dongfang Shuo volunteered: "I am willing to help the King of Wei with one arm to capture the murderer Zuo Ci."
Cao Cao said happily: "Agree."
After the banquet, everyone parted in disagreement.
Especially Prime Minister Si Zhiwei Huang, Imperial Physician Ling Jiben and Jin Yi, who were in the same seat with Geng Ji, had strange looks on his face and gave Zhou Yang a cold look.
No matter how stupid Zhou Yang was, he understood the truth, but he didn't dare to look at them at this time.
But in order to confirm the guess in my heart, I decided to go to Dongfang Shuo to ask what happened.
However, Dongfang Shuo had already been ordered to assist Xiahou Dun in searching the entire city in Xudu. It was difficult to see Dongfang Shuo except for patrolling and capturing Zuo Ci's soldiers.
So Zhou Yang decided to go to Cao Cao to ask clearly, but the Prime Minister's Mansion does not allow anyone to enter at the moment.
Instead of being confused by this, I made a clearer judgment that all this was just a conspiracy set by Cao Cao.
The purpose is still to eradicate the alien party. Dongfang Shuo must have been an ordinary passerby in Muye from the beginning, nor a person who has been waiting for him for many years.
Just as Zhou Yang has been puzzled, a person who is so capable can manipulate illusions like Zuo Ci.
Of course, I can also find Cao Cao by myself through my own methods, and I don’t need his recommendation from Zhou Yang.
From the beginning, Cao Cao laid a spy next to Zhou Yang.
His every move was already under Cao Cao's control.
The more Zhou Yang thought about it, the more he felt colder. Cao Cao did not believe him, but did not use any means to achieve his goal. This is true for every outstanding politician.
In order to reach the top of a political career, it doesn’t matter how many people sacrifice.
What's more, this action did not sacrifice him, Zhou Yang, but just used his channel to clean up the bloody blood in Cao Cao's own hands.
But can this really be washed clean?
From the eyes of Prime Minister Si Zhi Wei Huang, Imperial Physician Ling Jiben, and Jin Yi, they could see that they knew very well in their hearts.
Zhou Yang and Cao Cao were just venting their anger from their noses, such as Dongfang Shuo, illusion performances, and joining to cheer up the fun, all of them were to kill the leading alien party.
Wei Huang, Ji Ben and Jin Yi probably know that they will not live long.
During this period, there must be some action, either just to leave the bed, or to fight back, to suppress all your belongings, and then to decide the outcome with Cao Cao.
It seems that this country has not been calm. Even if Cao Cao finally compromises with the secular world, he will still not compromise with these so-called famous scholars.
Therefore, Xu Du will change again soon.
