Chapter 84: The Innately Evil Old Thief Sima

Cao Huan was still in a state of grief and shame, and he was indeed provoked by Li Ge, the imposter of his clansman.

Because of the previous tests, even when he revealed the secrets of Emperor Wei Wu, Li Ge was able to answer them one by one, which made him completely believe that Li Ge was a small group of clansmen protected by his aunt Cao Jie.

However, when it was precisely the last remaining force of the clan that brought this clansman to him, he was powerless to do anything...

He, the emperor of the Great Wei, could do nothing!

Like an incompetent husband, watching his clan fight to the last, while he himself is trapped in the deep palace, watching the royal family move step by step toward destruction, the foundation of my Cao Wei ancestors is destroyed in my hands!

How hateful! How pathetic!

Cao Huan now understands why his eldest nephew, Cao Mao, even knowing he would die, still fought desperately to launch a final counterattack against the Sima family.

Why, of all people, did they choose me? Why... would the foundation of Cao Wei be destroyed in my hands?

Cao Huan was filled with anger, pain, and struggle. This generation, which still retained the last vestiges of Han Chinese spirit, even contemplated drawing his sword to commit suicide or, like his nephew Cao Mao, splattering blood on the Sima family.

Suddenly, however, the voice of the attendant outside the Taiji Hall poured cold water over him like a bucket of cold water.

"Your Majesty, a guest has arrived at the Duke of Jin's residence!"

In an instant, Cao Huan was shocked.

The Jin Gong Mansion was the ancestral home of the Sima family, and also the location where Li Ge planned to exterminate the entire clan on the night of the massacre.

However, at this moment, it was actually people from the Duke of Jin's mansion who came directly. Had they discovered that this clansman had secretly infiltrated? Or did they already know that he harbored disloyal intentions and wanted to emulate the deposed Emperor Liu Bian by killing him in this deep palace?

In an instant, Cao Huan panicked and cried out, "Brother, what should we do? What should we do?!"

"Brother, don't panic. Just act the same way you usually do when you meet people from the Sima family. I'll hide on the beam, and everything will be safe." Li Ge hadn't expected the Sima family to send someone to the palace at this time.

Li Ge even wondered if the Sima family was sick. It was already past 10 p.m., and the Sima family was crazy to come and visit Cao Huan.

But it's not a big problem. As long as there isn't a large army pressing in, Li Ge can escape smoothly. At worst, he can go all out and start a crazy godfather worshiping mode, worshipping hundreds of thousands of godfathers a day, and make sure that brat Sima never comes back.

So soon, Li Ge nimbly climbed up the wall and hid on the roof beam.

Even from any angle looking upwards, it would be difficult to see Li Ge's figure. Coupled with some skills in concealment and hiding, Li Ge could be guaranteed to be safe from any problems.

If something goes wrong, then you'll have to resort to Musou attacks.

Cao Huan quickly straightened his clothes and hurriedly opened the door, saying, "Okay, wait, wait for me!"

When Cao Huan staggered to open the door, he was suddenly greeted by a middle-aged man with a large belly, accompanied by several guards, all with a smile on his face.

Cao Huan paused for a moment, then said, "An Shi, it's already past midnight, what brings you here?"

Li Ge, standing on the roof beam, froze for a moment. An Shi... Sima An Shi... Sima Yan!

Surprisingly, Sima Yan is acting like a lunatic, coming to see Cao Huan at this hour? And judging from Cao Huan's expression, they at least know each other, and might even be somewhat familiar with each other.

"Your Majesty, I have important news to report. Deng Ai, a general in Shu, has plotted a rebellion and declared himself emperor. He was killed by us on his way. Now we must exterminate the entire Deng clan and his former followers to prevent further chaos caused by the rebels!" Sima Yan said.

Actually, Sima Yan had just received news of Deng Ai's rebellion, so he immediately came to Cao Huan's place to get a stamp as a token gesture.

Although the entire country is now under the control of the Sima family, Sima Yan still has to give Cao Huan face when Sima Zhao is not in Luoyang.

At the very least, they should use the Imperial Seal of the State in Cao Huan's possession to go through the formalities.

Cao Huan was shocked. For a moment, he even wondered if Deng Ai was the last rebellious force of the imperial clan, but he still failed, and the last embers of the Cao family's imperial clan were extinguished...

Seeing Cao Huan's fearful and apprehensive appearance, Sima Yan was immediately puzzled.

The Sima family knew best how wronged Deng Ai was, but there was nothing they could do. The Sima family desperately needed the credit for conquering Shu. Right now, he was just a prince of Jin, but with the credit for conquering Shu, he could become the crown prince of Jin.

Your Majesty, I am eager to advance my career!

"I...I..." Cao Huan stammered, he was very nervous, but after the nervousness, he suddenly stopped speaking, which aroused Sima Yan's suspicion even more.

Meanwhile, Li Ge, standing on the roof beam, sighed inwardly that Cao Huan was truly an incompetent fool, more trouble than he was worth.

This is understandable. Before becoming a puppet emperor, Cao Huan's identity was similar to that fabricated by Li Ge. He was ruined by Cao Pi's clan system, and even as a prince, he had trouble getting enough to eat, let alone having much knowledge and ability.

This is all Cao Pi's fault. This devilish man single-handedly brought the once glorious Cao and Xiahou clans to the brink of ruin, leaving the imperial family members almost starving.

So when Li Ge said that she was able to survive because of the support of Liu Xie and Cao Jie, Cao Huan immediately felt the same way, because this was something that outsiders did not know: how miserable the Cao family had been all these years.

Therefore, Cao Huan can be considered a weaker version of Emperor Chongzhen. He did not receive much formal education from aristocratic families from a young age, and his talents were not even as good as those of ordinary aristocratic children.

However, Cao Huan has clearly given himself away, and Sima Yan is already suspicious. Moreover, if the person who came is Sima Yan himself...

Li Ge changed his plans again. Sima Yan had already delivered himself to his doorstep, how could he possibly let him go back?

Originally, Cao Huan was blamed for becoming Itachi Uchiha, but there were many problems, the main one being that Cao Huan was too incompetent.

But now, there is a better candidate for "Uchiha Itachi"!

You inherently evil old scoundrel Sima, I'll deal with you myself right now!

At this time, Sima Yan only had about ten personal guards around him. Most of them were still guarding outside the Taiji Hall. Only three of them entered the room together. Two guarded the door, and one protected Sima Yan closely. These people even brought weapons when they met Cao Huan.

This angle will work!

Li Ge took a deep breath and slowly moved to the top of the two guards at the door, controlling the angle...

The next moment, Li Ge Wang descended from the sky, launching a double aerial assassination, instantly slitting the throats of the two guards. Sima Yan's personal guard reacted instantly, attempting to draw his sword...

Li Ge pulled out the Ace Joker, and the next instant, what shot out of the Ace Joker was not a psionic bullet, but a crossbow bolt.

The ban on magic also led to the nerfing of magical weapons. For example, Li Ge's ace weapon, the Joker, was directly nerfed into a hidden dart, which is like a Tang Sect hidden weapon when hidden in the hand. It is not even as good as the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow of this era, but it is more than enough at this time!

In an instant, Joker's crossbow bolt pierced the throat of Sima Yan's personal bodyguard, before he could even draw his sword.

Everything happened too fast. From Li Ge's "The King Descends from the Sky" to quickly drawing his gun and firing a hidden arrow to kill the guard, the whole time was less than 0.3 seconds. When Sima Yan looked up, he suddenly found his personal guard lying on the table.

In that instant, terror swept over his entire brain.

He thought of Cao Mao, who had planned to lure Sima Zhao and prepare assassins to kill him in order to seize power from Cao Wei. Now, just like then, was he going to be killed by Cao Huan with the same scheme?

Sima Yan couldn't figure out why Cao Huan, despite being imprisoned so tightly, could still prepare axemen and kill several of his personal guards in an instant, but he couldn't think of that anymore.

He immediately opened his mouth, preparing to scream in terror, but Cao Huan, who was beside Sima Yan, also seemed to have gone mad, reaching out and grabbing Sima Yan's neck tightly, preventing him from making a sound.

Cao Huan was stunned when he saw Li Ge kill the two guards at the door, but he quickly became ruthless and prepared to trade one for one with Sima Yan. At worst, Cao Wei would perish and Sima Yan would not have an easy time either!

The commotion inside the house also aroused the suspicion of the guards outside the door. Immediately, someone was about to come and check when they heard a loud shout coming from inside the house.

"Godfather!"
