A few days ago, Peiguo County, Feiting Hou Mansion.

Cao Cao was concentrating on sword practice, the Xiahou brothers were practicing with their respective weapons, and Cao Ren and Cao Chun were using wooden sticks to put things on the ground.

Putting away his sword and exhaling, Cao Cao took the towel handed over by his subordinates and wiped his sweat, and walked curiously in front of Cao Ren and Cao Chun.

"What are you putting here?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

Cao Ren smiled: "Big brother, you are well-informed, I won't tell you what this is, you can guess." ”

Tsai carefully stared at the wooden stick on the ground for a while, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed, and said: "Qimen Dunjia, it is very mysterious, this should be a formation, as for the specific formation, I really can't see it." ”

"Big brother, you can't even see that this is a formation, so this formation must be very powerful, right?" Cao Chun asked excitedly.

"This is not necessarily, what I can't see is not necessarily good, and it may also be bad." Cao Cao looked at the disappointed Cao Chun and said with a smile: "But this formation is extremely profound, in my opinion, this formation has more than enough defense and insufficient offense, if it is pure defense, even if this formation is placed in the whole world, it is enough to rank among the top ten." ”

Cao Ren smiled: "Big brother is really good eyesight. He pointed to the sticks and said, "Big brother, you see, there are eight gates in this array, and those who have eight gates, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and open." If you don't know where to enter or get out, you will definitely be trapped in the formation and unable to escape. ”

"Well, where did you learn this formation? Can it be named? Cao Cao asked.

"This is what I saw in an ancient book, but the ancient book is broken, and it is no longer possible to distinguish the clear handwriting, and I also deduced step by step, calculated carefully, and only then did I get this half-finished formation, which should be able to exert his power by seven or eight points." Cao Ren said proudly: "I call him, Eight Gates Golden Lock Array!" ”

Cao Cao just wanted to speak, but he heard the Xiahou brothers shouting in unison: "What people! ”

A black shadow flashed on the roof, everyone looked at it, Cao Chun reacted the fastest, and had already drawn his sword and rushed up, Cao Cao realized that there was a dart under his feet, and there was a note wrapped on the dart.

Brother Xiahou came around, just in time to see Cao Cao pick up the dart book, and asked curiously, "Big brother, what is written on it?" ”

After Cao Cao read it, he read it several times before handing the note to the Xiahou brothers, and after the Xiahou brothers read it, they handed it to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren said: "Yinchuan! Xiang Qingwei! Help! ”

After reading the letter, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were already about to jump up.

"Big brother! Second brother, something happened to him! Xiahoudun hurriedly said.

"The second brother is far away in Liangzhou, if something happens, we can't quench our thirst, Brother Xuan!" Cao Ren said.

Xiahou Yuan picked up his weapon and shouted: "The second brother is a good brother who we swear to live and die together, since someone has come to send a letter for help, then I must go to save the second brother!" ”

Cao Cao raised his hand to appease Xiahoudun and said, "Yuan let Miaocai don't worry, I suspect that there is something wrong with this letter." ”

Cao Ren nodded and said: "Yes, if the second brother sends someone to ask for help, then he should come in from the main gate generously, that person is dressed in black, put down the dart book and leave, there must be fraud in it!" ”

Cao Cao raised his hand, looked at the sky and said, "Is it the method of the Ten Standing Servants?" Or who wants to make a move on our Cao family? Not long after Lan Mei went, our Cao family's power plummeted, does anyone want to fall into the ground? ”

Cao Ren said: "It's all possible, Brother Chun has already gone to chase that black."

Clothes man, according to the skills of the pure brother, there will be no danger, Brother Yuan, let's wait for the pure brother to come back, and then think about it in the long run! ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were so anxious that they stomped their feet, but there was no way, Xiahouyuan shouted angrily: "Just now the two of us were impulsive, but if someone really wants to harm the second brother or us, I will immediately cut him!" ”

After waiting for a while, Cao Hong, who got the news, also rushed over, after Cao Lan's death, Cao Hong has been closed, no one can persuade him, after hearing the news of the second brother Xiang Qing, he rushed to open the door and rushed to the martial arts arena, his beard was sloppy, his hair was messy, and his body was much thinner.

Before the person arrived, the voice still arrived: "Big brother, brothers, I heard that the second brother had an accident!" ”

Cao Ren told Cao Hong in detail about the matter, and Cao Hong was also furious, and immediately took the big knife from the weapon rack.

"As soon as Lan'er left, the thieves in Liangzhou were going to harm my second brother, so I will take someone to set foot in Liangzhou and bring the second brother back!"

Cao Ren hugged Cao Hong's waist and desperately stopped him, shouting: "Zilian! How can those Liangzhou thieves be the opponents of the second brother, you calm down first, this matter is not sure if it is true! ”

At this time, Cao Chun had already rushed back, and he jumped down from the roof, holding a sword in his right hand and a token in his left hand.

"Big brother! I am back! Cao Chun shouted.

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did you catch that guy? ”

Cao Chun shook his head: "That man's swordsmanship is extremely superb, and I can't take him in a short period of time, but he gave me this." ”

He handed the token he was holding in his left hand to Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked at it, this is the token of the real Lang Zhongling, when Chaolang Zhongling, that is Xiang Qing's senior brother, Wang Yue!

Cao Cao's hand clutched the token hard, and he made up his mind and said: "This is Wang Yue's token, it seems that he has got accurate news from the palace, Wang Yue is Jun He's senior brother, his news should not be wrong!" ”

Xiahou Yuan shouted: "Big brother, what are you waiting for!" ”

"Zixiao Zilian, Yuan Rang Miaocai, quickly gather all the family members, and those who can fight will follow me!"

"No!"

"Pure brother! Qian County is thousands of miles away from Yinchuan, we can't delay for a moment, we will set off immediately! You go and inform your father and uncle! ”

Cao Chun shouted: "Brothers, I'll go too!" I'm going to save Xiang Xu! ”

Cao Cao nodded and shouted, "Okay!" After notifying them, you catch up immediately! ”

……

Yinchuan Forest.

"Little Eighth Master! It looks like a rebel! ”

There are many shadows in the woods, and you can vaguely see that there is an army of no less than a thousand people in the woods, this is not an ambush at all, but has been waiting for Xiang Qing and them here for a long time!

Liu Hu looked back and saw that the sound of the hooves of the Xiliang cavalry was getting closer and closer, and he could vaguely see Hua Xiong and Qin Yi rushing to the front, and he could also hear the shouts of those Xiliang troops.

"Rush! Hunt down the anti-thief Xiang Qing! ”

"Kill Xiang Qing and reward 100 gold!"

"Kill!"

Liu Hu asked anxiously: "Eighth master!" What to do! ”

Xiang Xu didn't blink, stared ahead without squinting, and said coldly: "Kill out!" ”

"No!"

At this moment, they have long had no choice, either looking for a glimmer of life in a desperate situation, or they could only tie their hands and catch it, but losing to someone like Dong Zhuo, according to their arrogance, it is completely unacceptable, and they would rather die than live!

At the last moment, when the lightning was shining, two teams of men rushed out from the side, playing the banner of Chinese characters and wearing the crimson armor of the Han Dynasty, this is the Luoyang Army!

He commanded two Han armies, one to stop Hua Xiong's pursuers, and the other to enter the woods in front.

However, the number of these two Han armies was very small, less than 2,000 people, which was far inferior to those endless pursuers, and they could only delay for some time.

"I'll stop them! Take the general away! The lieutenant shouted.

"So what do you do! These people can't stop it! Liu Hu said.

With a look of perseverance on his face, the lieutenant said: "He is a good general, we have not seen such a general for the country and the people for a long time, it is a blessing to be able to eat and fight together under him!" The world can live without me! But it can't be without General Xiang! Let's go! ”

didn't say more, Liu Hu followed Xiang Xu's footsteps and fled from the gap between the two armies, and the soldiers of the Han army kept falling beside him, but Liu Hu didn't have time to help them, and there was a Xiang Qing on his back, a convincing family master.

I am about to see hope, as long as I run out of a mere hundred meters, I will be able to escape, Liu Hu's heart just let go of his breath, but he didn't expect that a loud shout broke his illusion.

"I'm Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng! I advise you to obediently tie your hands and take it away, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin! ”

That's right, it was Ma Teng who sent food a few days ago, and the two of them also rushed to Yinchuan with tens of thousands of soldiers, at this moment, Xiang Xu, Xiang Qing, Liu Hu, and the three of them were already surrounded by heavy surrounds, the rebels on the left, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army on the right, and Ma Teng in front.

"Huzi, let me go."

"Second master, you're awake!" Liu Hu said happily, at this time he lacked a backbone, and Xiang Qing was his pillar.

Shaking his head, Xiang Qing's mind was still a little chaotic, but at least he was able to stay awake and took the thundering sword handed over by Liu Hu.

"Hey, it's really hilarious!" Xiang Qing sneered, followed by laughter: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect my Xiang Junhe's life to be so valuable, so many people want my life!" ”

Ma Teng was silent, obviously the word "kill" had reached his throat, but he looked at Xiang Qing's tiger-like eyes, and he couldn't speak, as if he was frozen by this cold look.

"If I'm not mistaken, Dong Zhuo made a deal with you and the rebels, what did you just call yourself? History of Liangzhou thorns? You're worthy of it too? ”

"I'm afraid that the rebels have already surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and they led me to Yinchuan to kill me better, right?"

"The history of Liangzhou is you, so what is Dong Zhuo? I don't think he will do a loss-making business, where did he seal himself? ”

Faced with Xiang Qing's series of questions, Ma Teng didn't say a word, he finally overcame the fear in his heart and shouted: "Kill him!" Kill him! Kill him for me! ”

The soldiers were ordered, holding weapons and rushing towards Xiang Qing, for several months, Xiang Qing's prestige had already resounded in Liangzhou, his bravery was fought by real swords and guns, and these soldiers also had deep fear in their hearts.

Although Xiang Qing's eyes looked at these soldiers, it gave people the impression that he didn't take these people in his eyes at all.

He touched Xiang Xu's head and said gently: "Xiao Xu, I should protect you, not you protect me, I am my brother." ”
