Chapter 4 Forty-Nine, Drifting Away

Except for the four sages in the carriage, everyone could see the sky-high fire burning in the distance behind them.

Duan Xuan was placed in another carriage, but the treatment was a little worse, and his car was originally used to escort grain and grass.

"You're doing things happily, and you really didn't have any left?"

Although he was seriously injured and couldn't move, at least God left his mouth behind.

"Hehe, if it were you, would you be left alive?" Guo Jia rode a horse and walked slowly.

Duan Xuan didn't answer, in fact, this was not a problem at all. No matter who it is, they all know that if they do it, they can't leave a single living mouth, and now is not the time for Cao Cao and the Southeast General Hall to have a grudge.

The only thing that made Duan Xuan uneasy was that Qin Shao didn't come with Cao Cao for some reason. I don't know where Shen Rong is hiding.

"Drink?" Guo Jia shook the wine jug in his hand at Duan Xuan.

"Don't you see any injuries on my body?"

"Oh, life is too short. What you have saved at this moment is only a few years of old age in the future. Besides, in troubled times, no one can guarantee that they will be able to see the rising sun tomorrow, so why not have fun in time? ”

"I think I'm open-minded, but compared to you, I think I'm much more serious."

"Hahahaha......"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

After a long time, Duan Xuan restrained his smile and asked Guo Jia with a serious expression: "I have heard, you seem to prefer me to die?" ”

Guo Jia didn't object, and nodded at Duan Xuan with a chic smile.

"Then why are you ......?"

Duan Xuan didn't understand that with the character of Guo Jia, if he decided something, he would never change it.

"It's not me, it's the lord. Originally, we were going to expel Yuan Shu's forces in Yuzhou, but the lord suddenly changed his plan and led his army to help. Alas, the lord who does not follow common sense. ”

This is a fact, Cao Cao originally planned to attack Yuan Shu's forces in Yuzhou in preparation for the capture of the Han Emperor. However, just before he set off, he received a report from Nie Hong.

Jingzhou Liu Biao's subordinates Gan Ning and Su Fei led 30,000 soldiers and horses to block Nie Hong's way. Nie Hong naturally didn't think about it and was ready to go to war directly, but who would have thought that the other party would do something that made people angry - after the camp was set up, the Jingzhou army would come to disturb the camp every night, and when Nie Hong went out to fight, they went back; In the daytime, no matter how Nie Hong challenged, the other party refused to come out.

There were several times when Nie Hong set up an ambush at night and prepared to take the enemy by surprise, but as soon as the other party heard the slightest wind, he immediately retreated.

In this way, the enemy's purpose is clear. They don't want to fight at all, they just come to delay themselves. Thinking about this, Nie Hong was of course anxious and angry, and he had also studied whether he could bypass the enemy, but the camp set up by Gan Ning and Su Fei perfectly blocked the way.

There was no way, Nie Hong had no choice but to send someone to ask for help from Cao Cao.

Cao Cao usually does things decisively, but he is also very affectionate. After learning that the situation on Duan Xuan's side was critical, he immediately changed his order - set off immediately and rushed to Sizhou as soon as possible at all costs.

But it's a pity that Chang Ao was one step ahead.

Fortunately, he saved the remaining 100 people, otherwise I was afraid that Cao Cao would hold a grudge for life.

After listening to Guo Jia's story, Duan Xuan couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that I, Duan Xuan, would be so lucky to let the lord take such care." ”

"Heh, you're open-minded. I wonder what your plans are for the future? Guo Jia asked lazily.

"Aren't you afraid that I will take your name as the First Army Division?" Duan Xuan responded defiantly.

"Hahahaha, it's not that I, Guo Jia, boast about it, but with your jokes, it's not like this." Guo Jia laughed heartily.

"This is true," Duan Xuan also had to admit, "In terms of using troops, using strategies, and coordinating the overall situation, I am indeed inferior to you." ”

"It's rare that you also have a time to admit defeat."

"I still know how many catties I have. With my humble learning, if I can win the appreciation of the Lord, it will be difficult to repay even if I die. ”

"Let's go back with the lord to recuperate first, and when the injury is healed, you and I will slowly learn."

"I'm afraid I don't have a chance."

"Why?"

"After the injury is healed, I plan to leave for a while."

"I wonder what you want?"

"The lord has a lot of talents, but he lacks the same person."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"Assassin."

"Aren't you Nightblades assassins?"

"It's too ostentatious, everyone knows it, what kind of assassin he is. Whoever is an assassin will be hidden in the sea of people, and it will be difficult to find a trace; Whoever is an assassin will be invisible, and will not be known. ”

"You mean you're going to raise a nameless army for the Lord?"

"It's said that it's the army, and it's a bit too much. The purpose of the Assassins is to fight against as few as one or as many as a few, and hundreds or thousands of them are fighting against you. You are the claws and steel fangs of the lord, and I am but a bee sting. ”

"Have you figured it out? It's rare to have a chance to get rid of this identity and be a bloody man under the bright future, do you really want to go back to the darkness that doesn't see the light of day? ”

"A man dies for a confidant, and a woman is a person who pleases herself. For the lord, this is probably Duan Xuan's only way to repay him. ”

"Hehe, should I be sad or happy?"

"Neither, neither."

"Well said! Alas, now it seems that in your mind you are the one who will make me afraid. ”

"Heh, I am honored to be praised by you Guo Fengxiao. By the way, has the Sima family ever had dealings with the lord recently? ”

"Sima Lang, the eldest son of the Sima family, is now under the lord's account, what's the matter, what's wrong with the Sima family?"

"Feng Xiao is too worried, but it is actually Sima Yi, the second son of his family. This time, the Northern Hall suffered, and Liang Qi, the night marshal of the Nine Sages, was ordered to escort him back to Hanoi, but there has been no news. Thinking about it, Liang Ying should have returned at this time, I was afraid that he would see that the main hall had been destroyed, and mistakenly think that we and the others had been in trouble, so he would impulsively go to the people of the southeast main hall to settle accounts. ”

"You don't have to think about it, I have ordered people to stay in the ruins of the Northern Headquarters, and once you find someone who has returned, you will settle down in Yanzhou, and after the people of your Headquarters verify their identity, they will come to converge."

Duan Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I don't want you to do things, but I think it through." That's where someone thanks. ”

"Thank you, I'm doing this, but it's for the lord."

"Oh?"

"Your Northern Hall is full of talents, and now, including the virtuous elders, all of them have been rescued by the Lord and the Lord, and if those subordinates know about this, they will definitely vote for it. At that time, the strength of the lord can be greatly increased. ”

"Then why do you say it to me?"

"If there is no spectator, then this play is too lonely."

————————————————

Sizhou, Henan Yin, south of Yangzhai.

The Nine Sages reluctantly climbed up the hill with the support of everyone.

At Ji Huang's suggestion, there are now less than ten people around them to follow.

Since his subordinates are all Ye Feng who doesn't know martial arts, no matter how many people he brings, he will only become an eye-catching target, so it is better to let them turn into ordinary people and flee for their lives.

"Brother Jiu." This is supposed to be Zuo Ci's first speech after the parting of ways.

"What's the matter......"

Anyone can hear that there is no colder answer than this.

"It's been a long day, let's find a place to rest first."

Indeed, as a person in his fifties, he is a little reluctant to get old.

"Brother Jiu, what are you going to do next?"

"Alas, Yuan Fang, you let Brother Jiu say what is good about you." Jiuxian Lao sighed helplessly.

In fact, Jiuxian Lao was not angry because of the incident in Hebei back then, what he was really angry about was that he knew that Zuo Ci was taking banned drugs.

And the reason for learning about this was that they met Jingzhou soldiers and horses for the first time.

In order to expand the results of the battle, Wen Ping and Wang Wei decided to divide their troops into two ways. And the nine sages and the old ones met Wang Wei's team.

But fortunately, in order to search carefully in the forest, Wang Wei scattered the people and horses, basically a team of two hundred people.

In the dense forest, it is not difficult to find a hundred people, but it is not easy to find a dozen people.

The dossier room of the Northern General Hall, Ye Feng, although he doesn't know martial arts, his hiding skills are still passable.

Breaking into groups of several people makes it easier to move around, and with the help of the trees in the forest, it's easy to hide your whereabouts.

Flipping upside down, this is a skill that is not useful in normal times, but can be useful when running for your life.

One person holds the trunk of the tree and squats half-way, and the other holds his shoulders upside down with both hands, and then pulls the half-squatting person up. This is done only to prevent footprints and other traces of climbing on the trunk.

It's just that Jiuxian Lao can't use this trick here, and if he wants an old man in his fifties to do a handstand, it is estimated that the old man will be directly explained.

Therefore, Zuo Ci chose to go head-to-head.

As soon as he made his move, the Nine Sages realized that something was wrong, because Zuo Ci's strength was too great, and his speed was too fast.

Sometimes, when he can't control himself, he punches his foe through the chest. This kind of strength is far beyond normal people.

The search team of more than 200 people, Zuo Ci killed them all in just a stick of incense.

Looking at Zuo Ci, whose hands were dripping with blood, Jiuxian Lao didn't say a word, turned his head and began to continue walking.

Zuo Ci also knew the reason why he was angry, so he didn't speak all the way.

But now I have to ask, because Zuo Ci found that the goal of Jiuxian Lao is Yuzhou.

"Brother Jiu, do you want to ......?"

"If the fourth brother is fine, with the relationship between Xuan'er and Zhen'er, they will definitely go to Cao Cao."

"Then why don't you go to Yanzhou?"

"Humph! The old man didn't have the life to mess with another person from the Southeast Headquarters. ”

Shen Rong.

Zuo Ci also probably heard about Shen Rong going to assassinate Cao Cao, thinking about it, there has been no news over there, which means that Shen Rong has not done it yet, that is, all his horses are intact. Since it is to be unfavorable to Cao Cao, then he will inevitably hide in Yanzhou.

"Brother Jiu is wise, it's Yuan Fang's negligence."

"Also, don't call me Brother Nine in the future. It's ridiculous to say, but now my real name is even more unknown. After saying that, Jiuxian Lao smiled and walked forward.

Ji Huang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Eleven Sage Elder, what is the real name of Nine Sage Elder?" ”

"Quack, Hua Tuo, Hua Yuan."
