It was getting late, Cao Liang finished his shift and left the palace.

After returning to Luoyang from Wen County, Cao Liang no longer had any contact with Xia Houxuan. He continued his own life step by step, seemingly indifferent to Master Sima's wedding ceremony.

Because Cao Liang knew that he was the target of the Sima family's attention, and his every move in Luoyang City was even being watched. He pretended to be nonchalant in order to paralyze the Sima family.

In fact, Cao Liang and Xia Houxuan have already made an agreement. There is no need for Cao Liang to take action in the next matter. Xia Houxuan will naturally handle it all.

Xia Houxuan is actually very grateful for everything Cao Liang has done. Without Cao Liang's advice and wit, I am afraid that Xia Houxuan would have been kept in the dark by the Sima family. This time the truth has been revealed, and the cause of his sister's death has been determined.

, it’s time to settle the accounts with the Sima family.

Xia Houxuan can handle the next thing by himself. Anyway, his feud with the Sima family has reached a point where it will never end, and there is no need to involve Cao Liang anymore.

In fact, Cao Liang didn't care. He and the Sima family were already at loggerheads, so even if this matter was brought up again, it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, in order to avoid being noticed by the Sima family, Cao Liang still kept a considerable distance from Xiahou Xuan. No matter how smart Sima Yi was, he would never have guessed that someone was already targeting him, so in order to catch the Sima family off guard, Cao Liang

He still deliberately distanced himself from Xia Houxuan to facilitate Xia Houxuan's next operations.

Cao Liang, on the other hand, should be doing business and being on duty, and his pace of life has not been disrupted by the impending wedding of Master Sima.

As soon as he left Sima Gate, he saw a servant who looked like a domestic slave stopped in front of his horse and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Cao, I am a servant of the Yang Mansion. I came here on the order of my young lady.

Please go to Zhuolong Garden for a while."

Is it Zhuolong Garden again?

A slight smile appeared on Cao Liang's lips. He had been in love with Zhuo Longyuan before, and his relationship with Yang Huiyu was truly established.

This time Yang Huiyu asked him to meet him again at Zhuolong Garden, which was considered a return visit to his old place.

It is not difficult for Cao Liang to understand Yang Huiyu's current thoughts. Seeing that the wedding day is getting closer and closer, but there is no movement from Cao Liang, she is naturally worried.

When I make an appointment with Cao Liang, I think I want to find out what's going on.

Cao Liang did not refuse and asked the slave to lead the way to Zhuolong Garden.

When Cao Liang was on duty in the palace, Fang Bu could not enter the palace and could only wait outside Sima Gate. Now that Cao Liang left the palace, he quickly resumed his role as a bodyguard and followed closely.

As for where Cao Liang is going, he doesn't care, and he never takes the initiative to ask. In short, his duty is to protect Cao Liang's safety. As for other things, he doesn't listen or ask.

Everyone in Zhuolong Garden is fine, but there is no garden party today, and it is almost dusk, so it is quiet in Zhuolong Garden, and almost no one can be seen.

After entering Zhuolong Garden, the three of them dismounted and walked together.

Originally, lovers would choose their old place for a tryst, which is both convenient and romantic. However, what surprised Cao Liang was that this slave was leading the way and did not go to the place where they met last time. Instead, he went to the east of Zhuolong Pond.

noodle.

This made Cao Liang a little confused and alert. If Yang Huiyu really asked him to meet, how could he choose an unfamiliar place?

Cao Liang deliberately pretended to be careless and asked: "Young Master always came here before, why didn't Mr. Yang show up today?"

The slave's expression did not change, and he lowered his head and replied: "My young master is very busy with affairs and is preparing for the wedding in the palace. He has no time to spare today, so I am here to accompany Miss Yang."

Would Yang Hu take the initiative to do these wedding chores? This is nonsense! Yang Hu doesn't approve of this marriage at all. Now that he knows what happened to Cao Liang and her sister, how can he do this?

Cao Liang stopped, his eyes were a little cold, and he stared at the slave and said: "I think you are a bit unfamiliar. When did Miss Yang have a slave like you?"

The slave still said calmly: "I have been in Yang Mansion for a long time and have been serving the young lady. I don't usually see many outsiders, so Mr. Cao doesn't know me. My young lady is in front. Mr. Cao, please invite me."

Cao Liang did not move, but sneered: "Who are you? What do you want to do by using the name of Yangfu?"

This time, the slave's face darkened, and in response to Cao Liang's question, he said coldly: "I'm going to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger suddenly appeared in the man's hand, and it suddenly stabbed Cao Liang's chest.

Along the way, the assassin kept a relatively close distance to Cao Liang. When the incident happened, the two were only a few feet apart. The assassin's plan suddenly appeared and he suddenly killed him.

The assassin is probably still depressed. Throughout this journey, his identity has not had any flaws. How can this persona collapse so easily?

Cao Liang seemed to have been prepared for the assassin's sudden attack, and did not show any signs of panic. He stood there calmly and calmly, as if ignoring this unexpected incident.

The one who struck faster than the assassin was naturally Fang Bu's knife. As soon as the assassin showed his dagger, Fang Bu's knife had already been unsheathed. With a flash of cold light, it slashed towards the assassin's wrist.

The sword came so fast that the assassin had no idea that there was someone who could strike faster than him. The sword struck with such force that if the assassin didn't stop at this moment, his right hand was destined to be separated from his body.

After all, it is still unknown whether this stabbing can hurt Cao Liang's life, but Fang Bu's stabbing will definitely kill him.

The assassin gritted his teeth and had no choice but to retreat. Anyway, they had made very good arrangements in Zhuolong Garden today. Cao Liang's plan to escape from death was almost a daydream.

If the opportunity is lost, you can still find it again, but if someone cuts off an arm, then as the leader of a dead soldier, he will really destroy his martial arts.

But can he escape if he wants to?

The answer is of course self-evident. Since the knife with a square cloth is rarely unsheathed at ordinary times, once it is unsheathed now, how can it be put back without any blood?

The assassin shrunk and used all his strength to try to dodge this sudden attack.

But Fang Bu didn't give him a chance at all. The knife struck at lightning speed at a faster speed, following him like a shadow. The assassin stepped back a few feet without even being able to stand on his heels. Fang Bu's knife cut him off.
