Chapter 519 Old hatred
"Oh, Mr. Cao is going to kill someone!" The tall man pretended to be scared: "He Wu, today you and my brother are afraid that they will die in this alley!"
"Don't be afraid of Seventh Brother. There are more than two brothers here. Although Cao Daxia is very skilled in martial arts, he has not given birth to three heads and six arms. Otherwise, how could he escape by leaving his family and leaving?"
Accompanied by He Wu's sharp laughter, seven or eight people came from behind, all holding crossbows, and Zhang Man pointed at Cao Wenzong. He Wu smiled proudly and said, "Daxia Cao, have you seen clearly? Five yellow birch bows and two arms are open. We brothers know that you are extraordinary and you are not prepared enough to touch your tiger beard? If you want to blame, blame Han Gong, who promised you a bounty of 3,000 guan! My brothers took your head and enjoyed it for a lifetime!"
"The bounty of three thousand guan?" Cao Wenzong sneered: "Han Wenju hasn't forgotten me yet?"
"I don't know if Mr. Han has forgotten you, but the bounty is still there, and with Mr. Han's reputation, it will never be dependent on the two brothers' accounts!" He Wu's face suddenly changed and shouted: "Shoot the arrow and shoot this guy to death!"
As soon as the words were finished, seven people fired their bows and crossbows. The two thought they had nowhere to hide in this alley. No matter how great Cao Wenzong was, they would die, but they didn't expect that the other party would just curl up and hugged their heads with both hands, so they avoided three arrows. Although the other four arrows were shot, they could not penetrate their bodies. Two were bounced away, and the two were just pierced on it, obviously not hurting each other.
"What's going on! Cao Wenzong, what trick did you play?" Zhao Qi's face changed drastically. Although he didn't use a strong bow with him, he had at least four forces. The two sides were only seven or eight steps away. This distance could not be stopped by any means as long as he was a physical body.
"Ghost trick!" Cao Wenzong sneered, pulled open the front panel, and the moonlight shone on his chest, shining like the moonlight shining on silver.
"What are you wearing?" Zhao Qi and He Wu's faces were already snow-white, just like dead people. Of course, they had already seen that the reason why Cao Wenzong could get a few arrows without any injuries was because of the thing he was wearing, but looking at the appearance, it was just a thicker silk suit. Could this thing block the arrow?
"Don't you recognize it?" Cao Wenzong gently patted his chest and smiled, "It's cold as ice, soft as pickles, hard as steel. This is the curtain armor, but no wonder, how can something like a dog like you recognize such a magical object?" As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Wenzong suddenly shook his right hand, and a person behind Zhao Qi suddenly cried and fell to the ground. It turned out that the man was hiding behind Zhao Qi and wanted to re-open the bow. Cao Wenzong caught a glimpse of it, throwing a knife to break his throat, resulting in his life.
"Everyone, let's go together, kill this guy, and there will be a way out!" Zhao Qi shouted, drew his sword and stepped forward, and the others rushed forward. As soon as the two sides fought, Zhao Qi fell down like Tang Woxue. No matter who Cao Wenzong met, he would not attack. He would cut with one knife. He was quick to take action, strong, and accurate hands and eyes. Few people could block him in front of him. When those stabbed from him were stabbed next to him, he avoided the head, face and neck, and connected to the side of the torso, and bounced open, as if nothing had happened. However, during his breathing, he fell to the ground. Half of Zhao Qi's neck was cut off, and he had already exhaled more and intake less. He Wu's thigh was stabbed and he kept wailing.
"Shut up, and shouting again will result in your life!" Cao Wenzong shook his right hand, threw away the blood from the blade, and walked to He Wu's side: "Tell me, what are you two coming to Luoyang to do?"
"Master Cao, please spare me!" He Wu was scared by the sudden situation. He looked at Cao Wenzong in horror: "It's not me, it's Zhao Qi who wants to kill you!"
"You two are all the same guys!" Cao Wenzong slashed He Wu's chest and said, "Say, how did Han Wenju recently?"
"How have you been recently?" He Wu was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Cao Wenzong sneered when he saw this: "Don't worry, I won't kill you this time. Go back and tell Han Wenju, and let him wash his neck clean and wait for me to go back and take his life!"
He Wu was overjoyed when he heard this. He even felt the wound on his legs was no longer painful. He kowtowed repeatedly and was about to get up and escape, but was stopped by Cao Wenzong: "Why, I just left like this? Have you even forgotten the old rules?"
He Wu gritted his teeth, cut off his ear and threw it on the ground: "Don't worry, the villain will definitely bring the words!"
Cao Wenzong snorted coldly and made way for the way. He Wu was about to pass by, and a white light flashed in front of him, and he felt a chill of his right wrist. Then he felt a sharp pain, but Cao Wenzong cut off one hand and said, "I don't have enough ears, I'll add some for you!"
When Cao Wenzong returned to the inn, it was already late. He washed away the blood on his body and went to Wang Wenzuo's residence. At this time, Wang Wenzuo was looking through a book and looked up at Cao Wenzong: "Why have you been there for so long? That child's house is far away?"
"Not far away, only one street! I just met a few old acquaintances on the road!"
"Oh?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Meet an old friend in a foreign land? This is rare. Wenzong, why don't you keep them for a few more drinks and send someone to send me a message. It's okay if I have other people here!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Cao Wenzong smiled bitterly: "But no need, my old acquaintances are the kind that kills me. If it weren't for this locket tonight, my subordinates would have died!"
"What the hell is going on? Tell the matter clearly from beginning to end!" Wang Wenzuo's face changed drastically, and he threw the book aside and asked. Cao Wenzong then told him about the trap set by his former enemies in the alley. The successful counter-killing story was told from beginning to end. Wang Wenzuo asked Cao Wenzong to untie the coat, looked at the traces on the lock curtain, and smiled and said, "No, not in vain, I spent so much money on smelting iron and armor, and saved your life today."
"Yes, thanks to this locket today, they probably saw that I thought there was no armor under my clothes, so they dared to harm me in the alley. In the past few years, I followed Ming Gong in Haidong. I had forgotten about this incident, but I didn't expect to meet this group of people again in Luoyang. I was really intoxicated!"
"Well! The advantage of this lock curtain is that it is close to the body and gentle, and it is not obvious when worn inside and outside the clothes! Although it is not good for blunt objects and spears, the arrows and swords are still enough!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "But a real man can take revenge and repay kindness. If you have such a big grudge with you, it is better to end it early. There is always something in your heart that is unhappy!"
"Yes!" Cao Wenzong nodded: "My Duke Ming said that I want to ask Ming Gong to allow me to leave for half a month and give me a few good horses. I will take a few apprentices to take a trip. After the matter is finished, I will go to Jiannan to serve Ming Gong!"
"Puff!" Wang Wenzuo laughed when he heard this: "Wenzong, Wenzong, what's the point of saying you? Do you think you are still a roar, the evil young man? You are now a sixth-rank military officer in the court. I, Mr. Wang, are in charge of the yamen. How could I take a knife to go into the white knife and get out of the red knife? This is too indecent, right?"
"Ming Gong said!" Cao Wenzong's face turned slightly red: "The subordinates are indeed inadequate in their considerations. Doing so will not only be decent, but will also implicate Ming Gong and insult Ming Gong's reputation!"
"No, no, no! I didn't say that you would implicate me if you do this. People like Han Wenju are just a dog, and they will be killed if they kill them. How could they implicate me? I'm talking about you. You have to consider your identity in every word and action now. Killing Han Wenju is nothing, but you can't do it yourself. You have to kill him with national laws. Do you understand?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. Today I went to the palace to meet the saint and asked His Majesty to recruit 1,000 Xuanrun crossbowmen and 1,000 Danyang Vine Piece players. Your Majesty has already agreed! I'll leave this matter to you! When the documents from the Ministry of War are all ready, you will take twenty people to the south to recruit soldiers!"
"Yes, yes!" Cao Wenzong was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Wenzuo would suddenly mention recruiting troops. What does this have to do with killing Han Wenju? Seeing his appearance, Wang Wenzuo knew that he had not figured it out yet, and asked, "I'll ask you, where is Han Wenju from?"
"I am from Luzhou!"
"Then is Luzhou not far from Xuanzhou and Runzhou?" Wang Wenzuo asked.
"This—" Cao Wenzong was stunned. The Luzhou mentioned by Wang Wenzuo is today's Hefei, Xuanzhou is today's Xuancheng City, and Runzhou is today's Zhenjiang area in Nanjing. These places are at least hundreds of miles away. If you want to say it is close, it is not close, and it is not far away. I don't know how to answer for a while.
"I ask if you can recruit Xuanrun crossbow players and Danyang Vineyard players in Luzhou?"
"This is not impossible!" Cao Wenzong had already followed Wang Wenzuo's thoughts: "Are you telling me to take this opportunity to get rid of Han Wenju?"
"Nonsense, why would you do it?" Wang Wenzuo snorted coldly: "I will give you the title of recruiting soldiers. If you go there, you are an official and a civilian. After recruiting soldiers, you will have two thousand people. Is it difficult to find a charge to kill him? If you don't know how to play the skills of those swordsman, I will choose an old official who is proficient in grammar to go with you. Listen to him more and keep you from killing that guy easily!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ming!" Cao Wenzong was convinced by Wang Wenzuo's words, and knelt down and said, "Avenge me!"
"You and I are the robes in the army, how can I thank me!" Wang Wenzuo helped Cao Wenzong up: "But if you take revenge, the main business of recruiting soldiers must be done, otherwise I will not spare you!"
"Don't worry about this. I will definitely do the recruitment of troops first, and then go and cause trouble for Han Wenju!"
"Just understand!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "I will find a way to urge the Ministry of War. You have your luggage ready, and you will set off when the official documents come!"
The facts proved that the Ministry of War did not need Wang Wenzuo's urging. On the fourth day after entering the palace to meet the saint, the rewards that Wang Wenzuo needed were sent to the inn. Judging from the administrative efficiency at that time, it was simply fast. Of course, Wang Wenzuo knew what this meant. He immediately packed up his luggage, then went from Luoyang to Nanyang, then entered Wuguan and Lantian. By the end of August of the second year of Zongzhang (669), he had arrived at Jianmen Pass.
"It's indeed a strange danger in the world!" Looking at the sword-like mountain in front of you and the narrow valley with only one line of winding winding road, Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Chan has such a strange danger. How was Deng Ai destroyed by Deng Ai? It's really unimaginable!"
"Liu Chan? Deng Ai?" Akden, who was standing beside him, looked at the mountain in front of him, but there was a fog at the end: "Wang Pu, what does the two people you are talking about have to do with the mountain in front of you? Why have I never heard of it?"
"Nonsense, you were sleeping when the teacher was in class, of course you didn't know!" Wang Pu snorted coldly: "Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, you should remember it, right?"
"Remember!" Akton's spirit suddenly became lit up: "And Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, what's wrong? What's the relationship between those two people and these people?"
"Of course it's related!" Wang Pu said: "Liu Chan is Liu Bei's son, and Deng Ai is the general of Wei after Cao Cao's death!"
"Oh, oh!" Akton responded twice: "What did you mean when you said that Liu Chan was destroyed by Deng Ai?"
"It's just destroyed!" Wang Pu pointed to the valley in front and said, "Deng Ai led his troops to attack Shu from here. Liu Chan could not defeat him and had to surrender, so Shu was destroyed! The place we went this time was the territory of Shu before, and the master was going there to be an official!"
"But I heard that the Duke wants to take us to Jiannan Road? Why are you going to the territory of Shu again?"
"Idiot, Jiannan Road is Shu Kingdom, Shu Kingdom is Jiannan Road!" Wang Pu was so angry that he came: "This place was always called Yizhou, and this dynasty later changed its name to Jiannan Road!"
"Hey, I'll know if I talk about Yizhou? Tangren is really troublesome. It's a good idea to call this name, but it's changed it to another name, so it's not troublesome!" Akden said this and suddenly had an idea: "Hey, by the way, Liu Bei became king after going to Yizhou. Will Ming Gong go to Jiannan this time? "
"Shut up!" Wang Pu was startled and hurriedly covered Akton's mouth and cursed: "Are you crazy? You can even talk nonsense, it will kill people!" He looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention to them just now. Then he let go of his hand and whispered: "Akton, you can't talk nonsense in the future. You can't compare your master with Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others, otherwise it will kill many people!"
"Why can't it?" Akton asked in confusion: "Cao Cao and Sun Quan are not good people. It's not good to compare their masters. I know that Liu Bei is obviously good people, so why can't he compare!"
"No, no!" Wang Pu became more annoyed and shouted angrily: "Anyway, it's just not possible. Just remember it, otherwise no one will forgive you if this is said, so don't regret it when the time comes!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Akton had never seen Wang Pu's appearance before and said in disappointment: "I won't say it in the future. You Tangren are really boring. You will kill someone if you say a few words!"
Thank you to someone who loves reading books. Life is so lonely!
