Fifteen years and twelve, murder
In the face of a sudden attack, everyone was unprepared.
This gang of thieves is very cunning, and looking at this posture, it is not the first time that they have attacked merchants.
Although the Cao family's guards were prepared to encounter thieves, they still missed the opportunity.
Guo Huo and Guo Shui were accidentally hit and fell off their horses, and several Cao guards were also thrown off their horses, only a little quick to dismount and immediately dismount to find shelter to protect themselves.
The convoy was in disarray, several horses had run away, and the bandits rushed out of their hideouts on both sides of the road, shouting that they were about to rob.
The gang was ragged and tattered, with wooden sticks, bamboo guns and tattered weapons of unknown origin, and only the three men at the head were holding steel knives.
These bandits rushed forward and slashed, hit, kicked, and smashed the Cao guards lying on the ground, and for a while beat the Cao guards who had no time to resist to their heads covered in blood, lying on the ground and howling in pain.
"Kill all these people! The treasure is ours!! ”
A bandit leader with a fierce face shouted like this, which provoked the whole group to be even more vicious and tyrannical.
Guo Peng was protected from being smashed under Guo Jin's protection, but Guo Jin was hit by a guy on the head, and he didn't get up in a daze.
Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin, who had fainted, and then at the bandits who were killing the Cao family's guards, and a burst of anger suddenly surged in his heart.
To be honest, this was the first time he had gone out alone without his elders with him.
Guo Shan said that this was an opportunity for men to exercise, so he insisted on not letting the elders accompany him and let him go by himself, feeling that thirty guards were enough to protect him, which was indeed true.
But he really has never encountered such a thing, he was robbed by bandits, facing the danger of his life, and there is no help.
Before that, the biggest danger was that when there were more people on the other side than there were on his own side in a group fight, the other party also injured Xiahou Yuan by relying on the strength of the crowd.
At that time, Guo Peng's eyes were red, he waved his stick desperately, and rushed forward desperately, opening and closing for a while, and he was hit several times, and the other party was also scattered, crying and fleeing in all directions.
Then the people on his side were driven by Guo Peng, and rushed up in one go and beat down a group of people on the other side.
That group fight can be regarded as establishing Guo Peng's status in the children's group.
Since then, Guo Peng has felt that there is a gene of violence hidden in his body, and once provoked, it is difficult to control his anger.
It's the same at this time, and it's not illegal to kill people at this time.
Guo Peng took down the bow hanging on his body, opened the quiver that had rolled to the ground, took out a bow and arrow, and bent the bow to tie the arrow.
He aimed at a bandit not far in front of him who was wielding a wooden stick and beating a Cao guard lying on the ground, gritted his teeth, and then shot an arrow without hesitation, hitting him in the chest at close range.
The man's body trembled, and he looked up at Guo Peng, his eyes were full of incredulity, and then he fell down and was silent.
This is Guo Peng's first murder, and the first time he has killed in two lifetimes.
After the killing, there was no fear, but an unexpected excitement.
He immediately picked up the second arrow, bent his bow and aimed it at the second bandit who wanted to rush towards him, and with good luck, the arrow pierced his throat.
Killing two people in a row, he was even more excited.
At this moment, the third bandit saw that two of his companions had been killed, and that the murderer was a little one who did not look very old, and he was furious, and rushed forward with a wooden stick in his scream.
Guo Peng is not afraid, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
So instead he rushed head-on, dropped his bow and arrow, drew the sword he had at his waist, and struck him in the back with a backhand as the bandit watched in horror.
The sharp blade made a deep cut in the thief's back, and blood splashed his face, but the bandit lay on the ground and couldn't get up, and he howled miserably, and his whole body was shaking.
Guo Peng wiped the blood on his face, and a very unpleasant fishy smell kept stimulating his olfactory nerves.
Taking a deep breath, Guo Peng walked up to the bandit, raised the ring knife in his hand, and stabbed him in the back of the heart, killing him directly.
More blood spurted out, Guo Peng didn't feel it at all, he just felt that the blood all over his body was boiling.
And at this moment, the Cao guards who reacted also began to counterattack, with the advantage of equipment and training, the combat effectiveness of the guards armed with steel knives and bows and crossbows far exceeded these rabble with sticks and bamboo guns, and the bandits did not have iron weapons except for the three leaders.
So after the captain of the Cao clan guard killed a leader with a knife, the Cao clan guards also began a comprehensive counterattack, and the stick and bamboo spear obviously had no advantage in the face of the sophisticated ring head knife, and this group of bandits retreated when they saw that they had encountered a hard stubble.
But the other leader was unwilling to do so and withdrew.
"Hold on! There aren't many of them left! Kill them! The treasure is ours!! ”
The leader desperately encouraged the will of these outlaws to fight, and just as he was about to succeed, a cold arrow suddenly flew and stuck it in his head impartially, shooting him directly to the ground, and he was silent.
The other bandits around looked at it and were immediately dumbfounded.
As soon as the Cao guards turned their heads, they saw that Guo Peng was bending his bow and arrows, and as soon as he let go of his hand, another arrow was fired, and the third head holding a steel knife was shot in the chest, and he lay straight on the ground, without a sound.
The battle was reversed here, and the rabble lost their heads, and were slaughtered by the Cao guards.
Guo Peng did not continue to use the knife, but continued to shoot a person with a bow and arrow, and the Cao guards pursued it again, basically killing this group of bandits.
When I killed someone, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I felt that my whole body was full of strength, and the more I killed, the more excited I became.
But after the battle ended, Guo Peng regained his composure, and a gust of wind blew, and the strong smell of blood directly spit out his irritating spit.
Coincidentally, many first-time murderers also vomited together.
After that, Guo Peng counted the results of the battle, the Cao guards killed forty-six bandits, seven were killed, and the others were not killed, but many were injured, Guo Jin, Guo Huo and Guo Shui were all injured, and the captain of the Cao family's guards was also injured.
Guo Peng bandaged the wounds of the three of them with his own hands, and also bandaged the wounds of the Cao family's guard captain, and then, together with Cao's guide, he found the local county order to ask for an explanation.
When the county magistrate learned that Guo Peng was the son-in-law of the Cao family, a son of the Guo family, he was immediately frightened.
This is the family of the powerful man in the dynasty, if there is any damage, he will be finished.
Fortunately, Guo Peng was fine, and the county commander apologized again and again, and personally sent someone to follow the convoy and escort them all the way to their destination.
After the incident was over, Guo Peng recalled what he had done, and was surprised that he had killed six people in his first killing, and even killed one person with a knife with his own hands, and his age was only twelve years old.
In modern times, he was still a schoolboy, and in the here and now, he had already killed someone.
For some reason, Guo Peng suddenly remembered Qin Wuyang, who killed people at the age of twelve during the Warring States Period, and if he became a character in the future, he would leave a biography in the history books, and it is estimated that he would also leave a mark.
For example, "Yingchuan Guo Peng, bold, twelve, murderous, people dare not look at it" such a record.
However, he didn't rely on the power of his family to kill people, this was for self-defense, and Qin Wuyang's goods were not of the same grade.
Therefore, Guo Peng knows that he has completely integrated into this era, into this era of disagreement and drawing swords, and no longer has any sense of rejection.
There will be no refusal to kill, and no fear of killing.
If someone insults himself and his family, he will definitely draw a knife against him.
When someone kills the head, he will also fight back and never die.
After a night's sleep, Guo Peng returned to normal and embarked on the journey again.
And this time, Guo Peng felt that he was different from before, not to mention being fully armed, and he felt a little less cowardice in his heart.
Cowardice towards the world.
He felt that he had an extra courage to draw his sword against the surging malice and fight to the death.
In this way, seven days after departure, Guo Peng's convoy arrived at the border of Henan, entered Zhongmu County, and met the Cao family sent by Cao Song to greet Guo Peng.
The Cao family was shocked when they learned what happened to Guo Peng's convoy, and when they saw that Guo Peng was fine, they were relieved, so they sped up and rushed to Luoyang.
"The master really wants to see Guo Lang, everything in Luoyang has been taken care of, the question is after a month, Guo Lang has enough time to adapt to Luoyang, there are a lot of new things in Luoyang, if Guo Lang wants to have a good time, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
The Cao family, who greeted Guo Peng, smiled flatteringly, offered courtesy to Guo Peng, and then introduced Guo Peng's geography and hydrology, humanities and customs, and what major events have happened recently to Guo Peng along the way.
"The original Taiwei Chen Taiwei has been deposed, and a new Taiwei Xu has been replaced, and the owner is very happy......"
He babbled like this, and the more he talked about it, the more carefully he became, and Guo Peng was also willing to listen to him say these things related to Luoyang.
As he said this, Guo Peng realized that the current Luoyang was relatively stable and not too chaotic.
After all, the disaster of the party has begun, although the scholars have always had the upper hand in public opinion, but they have fallen behind politically, and the power of Luoyang is still in the hands of the emperor and the eunuch group.
The party is aimed at some scholars, and there are also some scholars who have not suffered from the party and are still active in Luoyang, such as the Yuan family.
But now these things have little to do with Guo Peng, he is just a student, a minor student, and he won't even participate in social activities.
He can still live in peace.
When passing through the Tiger Prison Pass, Guo Peng deliberately took a closer look at the majestic level of the Tiger Prison Pass and thought of the story in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It's a pity that the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms about the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass is all fictional, and it is better to say that it is Bishui Pass than to call it Tiger Prison Pass.
There was no Sanying battle against Lü Bu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not join the battle against Dong, the one who defeated Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu was Sun Jian, and it was Yuan Shu who provided him with logistics.
The place of battle was Dagu Pass south of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were both defeated by Sun Jian, and twice in a row, what really forced Dong Zhuo to flee to Chang'an was the alliance between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu.
As for Yuan Shao's group of 'Dong Lianjun' in Sour Zao, it was not the same group as Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's alliance, they only knew how to eat and drink, and no one except Cao Cao fought against Dong Zhuo at all, and when the food ran out, they disbanded in internal strife.
At that time, Cao Cao was nothing at all, just a "line" Fenwu general who joined forces with Chen Liutai and Zhang Miao, and he was not a genuine brand.
And Liu Bei is still a little person who doesn't know where to toss around, and the officials of Qianshi can't mix, even Cao Cao is not as good.
But it is precisely because they are all small people at this time, but they have achieved great things in the future, which is very rare.
None of these people are simple characters, even if they are characters mentioned in the history books, as long as they can leave their names, they are not simple.
After passing the Bishui Pass, Luoyang will be closer.
On May 21, Guo Peng arrived in Luoyang, and on the outskirts of Luoyang City, Cao Song sent people to greet Guo Peng and welcomed Guo Peng into Luoyang City.
