Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Luoyang City, arsenal.

Cao Yuan sipped a small drink and sat in the courtyard, watching his men transport more than 5,000 ring-headed knives out of the arsenal.

"Ziyou, all the knives in storage have been emptied, not a single one is left."

Xu Chu stepped forward to report.

Cao Yuan nodded and said,"I'll leave the rest to you. We'll see you at home."

He called Xu Chu and escorted the Huanshou Sword to the small treasury. He got on the carriage and left Luoyang City under the protection of Lu Lingqi and several Yanyun guards.

"Husband, where will you move these arsenal of knives? Lu

Lingqi asked curiously

"Of course it is to move into our own private vault."

Cao Yuan didn't hide it from her either.

"Private treasury? Lu

Lingqi changed her color slightly and said in surprise:"Husband, it is a serious crime to steal weapons from the arsenal." Cao

Yuan smiled disapprovingly and said,"Madam, don't panic. I have stolen it for my husband more than once. It's no big deal." Lu

Lingqi's eyes were full of suspicion, and she quietly looked at her husband, guessing in her mind.

The group left Luoyang and headed straight to the north towards Mang Mountain.

"Husband, don’t we live in Luoyang? Where are we going? Lu

Lingqi had a new question.

Cao Yuandao said:"Luoyang City is in tatters. What's there to live in? I bought a manor for my husband at the foot of Mang Mountain. It is said that it is the private residence of Zhang Rang, the official of Zhongchang. I can barely live there." live"

"When I was in Luoyang, I heard someone say that there was indeed a private residence at the foot of Mount Mang. It was extremely splendid and magnificent, comparable to the emperor's palace."

"If you want to buy this private house, you will need at least several hundred million!"

Lu Lingqi clicked her tongue in amazement, her eyes full of surprise, but she couldn't figure out where Cao Yuan got so much money. The

Yanyun guards on the left and right all laughed secretly.

Their new lady obviously didn't know that their This young master is Cao Cao's military adviser on the surface, but secretly he is the richest man in the world.

With Cao Yuan's current financial resources, not to mention buying a private house in Zhang Rang, even if he buys the Luoyang Palace, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"It's just a house, Madam, there's no need to make a fuss."

Cao Yuan only smiled faintly.

Lu Lingqi took a breath and looked at her husband up and down. She suddenly realized that her husband was far more unfathomable than she had ever seen before.

Suddenly,

Yan Yunwei in front stopped him. The war horse quickly stopped in front of Cao Yuan.

Lu Lingqi retracted her thoughts and looked up, only to see dozens of warriors wearing yellow scarves blocking the way in front of the avenue.

"They are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans! Lu

Lingqi frowned, turned her horse and stood in front of Cao Yuan, shouting:"Protect your husband!""

Yan Yunwei protected Cao Yuan.

Lu Lingqi pointed her halberd and said sternly:"You yellow turban thieves are so courageous. Get out of here or you will die!""

Cao Yuan became interested.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many Yellow Turban thieves turned into bandits, either as mountain bandits or horse bandits. It is not surprising.

But here is close to Luoyang and at the foot of the imperial capital. This group of yellow turban thieves actually dared to come out, and they were really courageous.

Cao Yuan became interested, rode his horse forward, and sneered:"You yellow turban thieves are quite courageous. Do you want to block the road and rob?""

The yellow turban thief at the head unfolded a portrait and looked at Cao Yuan for a few times. A flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Are you Cao Yuan, Cao Ying’s military advisor? Shi A , who was disguised as a Yellow Turban thief, asked in a deep voice.

"You actually know my name. Cao

Yuan noticed something unusual and said,"I am Cao Yuan. What do you want?""

Shi'a slowly unsheathed his sword and pointed at him:"Of course I want to take your head!"

As expected.

These yellow turban thieves came for him.

Cao Yuan smiled coldly:"You are a little yellow turban thief, but you actually know my name and can accurately calculate my whereabouts. You must be robbed here by someone. The instigator wants to kill me, tell me, who is the person behind you?"

"Mr. Yuan has put a reward on your head. There are countless people in the world who want to kill you. Why should I be ordered by others!"

Shi'a raised his long sword.

Behind him, a group of swordsmen disguised as yellow scarf thieves drew their swords out of their scabbards.

"Madam, does Yuan Shao offer a reward for my head?"

Cao Yuan looked at Lu Lingqi blankly.

Lu Lingqi said:"Don't you know, husband? Yuan Shao offers a reward of ten thousand gold and ten thousand households, and wants to take your life."

"So it turns out that my husband’s head is so valuable...."

Cao Yuan murmured with emotion and touched his head.

Lu Lingqi's starry eyes widened, and she said in a deep voice:"A mere yellow scarf thief wants to murder my husband, so I will kill him first." Before she finished her words.

Lu Lingqi jumped up, dismounted, drew her halberd like lightning, and went straight to Shi A

"How dare a prostitute look down on me!"

Shi A roared angrily and moved his body skills.

Lu Lingqi struck first, and the painted halberd was whizzing towards him.

One halberd cut into the air!

Shi A's body skills were as fast as a shadow, and he disappeared within a short distance.

Lu Lingqi's beauty changed.

Although her martial arts skills are not as good as those of her father Lu Bu, she is still regarded as the best in the world. Even the martial arts of Gao Shun and his ilk cannot resist this attack. How can she dodge this mere yellow scarf thief in front of her?

The next moment, a broken body behind her There was a sound of wind.

Lu Lingqi glanced back and saw Shi Ajing running behind her like a ghost. The long sword was like lightning, heading straight for her head.

Lu Lingqi frowned, retracted her painted halberd, and swung the halberd with her backhand. Come out.

Surprise flashed across Shi A Lengjue's eyes.

He obviously didn't expect that such a woman could have such martial arts skills.

The halberd was so powerful and heavy that he didn't dare to fight head-on, and his steps moved wrongly. , dodged in the blink of an eye.

Lu Lingqi struck the air again with a halberd.

After that, Shi A let out a low roar and turned from defense to attack.

Relying on his lightning-fast movement, he moved around Lu Lingqi in all directions, and the long sword in his hand turned into Countless sword shadows, imaginary and real, came overwhelmingly.

His sword skills were so fast that it was difficult to tell which sword was real and which was imaginary.

Lu Lingqi did not dare to attack again, so she could only draw her halberd and dance in all directions. Behind the curtain, he was passively on the defensive.

Dozens of assassins disguised as Yellow Turban thieves took advantage of the situation and rushed forward to attack Cao Yuan.

Yan Yunwei drew his sword and stepped forward to stop him.

Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry were powerful in martial arts. Originally, these assassins , are by no means their opponents.

But these assassins specialize in assassination techniques, and each of them has unusually fast movements. With their ghostly movements, they are several times the number of Yan Yunwei, and they are evenly matched.

Cao Yuan The sword eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

The swordsmanship and movement skills of this group of people are all top-notch in the world. How could ordinary Yellow Turban thieves have such strength?

Besides, not many people knew about his coming to Luoyang, but this group of people could prepare If he knows his itinerary, someone must have tipped him off.

These people are definitely not Yellow Turban thieves, they must be assassins in disguise.

There must be someone behind them!

"Lingqi, that guy just has great movement skills. If you only defend but don't attack, if you drag down dozens of moves, he will definitely be exhausted and can't sustain it anymore."

"You captured him alive for me, and I want to find out who instigated him to murder me!"

Cao Yuan ordered sternly.

Shi A was surprised and thought to himself:"This Cao Yuan, a mere counselor, can actually see the essence of my swordsmanship?"

After receiving Cao Yuan's advice, Lu Lingqi was not in a hurry to attack. She just drew her halberd and danced wildly to defend the door.

"Damn it, he has seen through my lies, dragging me down is not the answer!"

Shi A frowned, and suddenly jumped out of the battle group.

He walked like the wind, scurrying left and right like a ghost, heading towards Cao Yuan.

"He wants to assassinate his husband, stop him!"

Lu Lingqi's beautiful face changed color, and she rushed away quickly, shouting loudly.

The Yanyun guards tried to stop them, but were entangled by the assassins and could not get away.

Shi A's movement was as fast as lightning, and he rushed to Cao Yuan in the blink of an eye. in front of

"Cao Yuan, please keep the head for me!"

He let out a proud roar, jumped onto the carriage, and with his long sword like lightning, he rushed straight to the door in front of Cao Yuan.

"brush!"

A cold light flashed.

Cao Yuan's sword was unsheathed.

A harsh golden sound sounded.

Swords and swords intertwined in the air.

Shi'a's eyes widened and his face was distorted, as if he had seen a ghost.

His full blow was unexpectedly struck by Cao Yuan. Blocked within a short distance

"How can this be?"

"He can actually block my sword?"

Shi A was shocked and his face was horrified.

"Li Taibai's sword technique has never been used since it was loaded, so let's use him to test the sword."

Cao Yuan smiled coldly, and the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly exploded.

With a flick of his wrist, he used exquisite sword skills, and in an instant, a film of light appeared in the sky, covering Shi A in it.

"He is actually proficient in swordsmanship?"

"What kind of swordsmanship is this, better than my master Wang Yue?"

"not good!"

Shi A's color changed in horror, and he raised his sword to resist.

It was too late.

In an instant, he was stabbed seven or eight times, screamed, jumped up into the air, and flew upside down.

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Lingqihua Rong was stunned, thinking that his eyes had an illusion.

The assassin whose sword skills were so weird that he couldn't even defeat him was shot down by her husband in the blink of an eye?

"Protect the leader!"

The remaining assassins woke up in shock and flew up to save Shi'a who fell to the ground.

Cao Yuan was not done killing yet, so he simply jumped up, the sword in his hand dancing like the wind.

The sword light passed by, leaving no one alive.

In an instant , more than thirty assassins were killed by him.

The remaining assassins finally suffered a mental breakdown.

They did not care about saving Shi A anymore, and fled in all directions.

"Husband, you actually still hide such martial arts? Lu

Lingqi gasped and asked in a hoarse voice.

"I haven't practiced for a long time, so I'm rusty, so I'm a little too heavy-handed, so I should leave a few more eloquences alive. Cao

Yuan laughed at himself, sheathed his sword, and said:"What are you still waiting for, madam? Tie this guy up and interrogate him carefully to see who wants your husband and my head!""

Lu Lingqi finally came back to her senses. She didn't care to marvel at Cao Yuan's swordsmanship. She ordered Yan Yunwei to tie up the injured Shi'a and torture him on the spot. Screams kept coming.

To say that Lu Lingqi was also cruel enough, and she was whipped again. It was another cut, and after a set of procedures, Shi A was already covered in blood and his body was completely bruised.

"Commander Cao, spare your life. I will recruit you. I will recruit you.~~"

"I was ordered by Sima Yi to assassinate you!"

Shi A couldn't stand the torture and finally confessed.

"Sima Yi? Cao

Yuan raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly:"This old fox, I haven't done anything to him yet, but he dares to provoke me. He thinks he has a long life!""
