"Aman, our identities have been exposed, and I don't know if these white-eyed wolves have reported our whereabouts to the court beforehand. Can't stay here! ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and when he opened his eyes again, he was full of coldness, and his whole body exuded a kind of indifference that made people stop and dare not touch.

"Hmm. Let's go. ”

Cao Cao walked step by step, and the blood around him stained his boots red. His pace was particularly heavy.

Cao Cao got on his horse, didn't look at the Niuhe Village again, and led the army to gallop in the direction of the Tiger Pass.

Waiting for the morning of the next day, Huang Er, who was originally full of joy and rushed back to Niuhe Village with a team of court soldiers and horses, was shocked when he saw that the village was full of bloodstains and corpses. When the generals of the court saw this, they knew that Cao Cao must have escaped from Niuhe Village, and was about to turn the horse's head and chase after him immediately, but Huang Er ran in front of him and blocked his way.

"General, General. It was clearly written on this wanted notice that whoever reported the news would be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. This... I don't know..."

The general smiled coldly and looked at Huang Er condescendingly.

"You're dead, and all the people in the village are dead. I have not seen any sorrow in you. Can you really see it? ”

"Hehe, the general laughed. These people are incompetent, and I obviously brought them a big opportunity, but they didn't know how to grasp it, and they ended up like this. I haven't complained about them yet, just let go of Cao Cao's big fish and take their corpses to vent my grievances. How can you be sad for them!! ”

Just as Huang Er was about to continue, the general suddenly raised his spear and pierced his head with a spear. Huang Er still had a sinister smile on his lips before he died, and his body slowly fell to the ground, blood surging from the breach in his skull.

"Phew! It's not a pity to die. ”

The general spat at Huang Er's corpse with disdain, muttered a word, and then led the army out of Niuhe Village.

And Cao Cao, who originally succeeded in attracting the attention of Dong Zhuo's pursuers, exposed his whereabouts because of his momentary benevolence. Therefore, in the area of the Tiger Prison, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are constantly coming.

Cao Cao profoundly understood, what is the feeling of grass and trees are soldiers, and then he continued to encounter Dong Zhuo's pursuers all the way, in several pursuits, there were less than twenty people left under his command, and he was also injured in many places, one was the most thrilling, a dark arrow shot suddenly, if it wasn't for Xiahou Dun to have the hand to block, Cao Cao would have died in Huangquan.

Cao Cao's face was pale, his mouth was dry, and his battle robe was dyed red, and Xiahoudun next to him could only hold a knife with his left hand because he injured his right hand last time, and three of the soldiers who followed closely around him couldn't hold on, fell off their horses, and couldn't open their eyes again. Cao Cao's group has not drunk a drop of water for several days, eaten half a grain of rice, and all of them are injured and bleeding nonstop, and those who can persist are all stubborn.

Cao Cao and his entourage, halfway to the road, there is a pass in front of them, the guard of the pass saw Cao Cao and his party were uneven, and the appearance of the gray face was suspicious, and led the troops to surround Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao was no longer able to escape, and at this time, the wound attacked, and he fell off his horse. Xiahoudun glared at the tiger violently, shouted bitterly, and saw that the soldiers and horses at this pass were tightly surrounded, and Xiahoudun would never leave Cao Cao, so he had to be captured.

After the generals of the pass captured Cao Cao and his party, they were sent to the county commanders of the neighboring cities and counties. After the county order met Cao Cao, he did not immediately send news to Luoyang. Instead, people found a doctor to treat Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao woke up, this county order asked people to find food to satisfy the hunger of Cao Cao and his party. After receiving medical treatment, Cao Cao's health has improved a lot, and after eating, his spirit is a little better.

"Go out and keep watch. I have something to say to this man. ”

The prefectural commander waved his hand at the jailers behind him, and the jailers did not dare to disobey the order, so they left one after another.

"Cao Cao, I heard that Lord Xiangguo treats you well, why did you take trouble for yourself? If you follow Lord Xiangguo, with your ability, won't you be able to get glory, wealth, power and official positions? ”

Cao Cao leaned his back against the wall, his eyes were not in good spirits, but they were sharp. He sneered and looked at the county magistrate indifferently.

"Hmph. If you want to kill or chop, just point directly, don't beat around here. What kind of character is I, Cao Cao, and how can I be in the same stream with Dong Gou, who is unkind and unjust! ”

After looking at Cao Cao for a while, the county commander suddenly knelt down and said his name. This person's surname is Chen Minggong, and the word is Gongtai. After Chen Gong learned that Cao Cao had assassinated Dong, he was very happy and convinced of Cao Cao, but at the same time he was worried about his safety. Therefore, I have always paid attention to Cao Cao's deeds.

Today, he happened to meet Cao Cao, and he said that he was sincere and wanted to follow Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked Chen Gong's family again. Chen Gong replied that they were all within this county. Cao Cao didn't want Chen Gong to let his abandoned family ignore him in order to follow him, so he immediately asked Chen Gong to go home and pack up, pick out the guards tonight, take his wife and mother, and leave with his men and horses all night.

Chen Gong heard that Cao Cao cared about his family, and even more determined to follow Cao Cao's idea, and after discussing with Cao Cao, he went home and prepared to go. At three minutes in the evening, Chen Gong transferred the guards, found a carriage to settle his mother and wife, and then fled from the county after rescuing Cao Cao and others.

"Ahh We're running for our lives! This Chen Gong dragged his family and mouth, and it was inevitable that he would be dragged down by them. ”

Xiahou came to Cao Cao's side on horseback and whispered in his ear. Cao Cao glared at him, and struck back what Xiahou Dun still wanted to say.

Because of the relationship between Chen Gong's family, Cao Cao and his party inevitably slowed down a little, and if Cao Cao hadn't had a brave Xiahoudun by his side, who had repelled several groups of chasing soldiers, I was afraid that Cao Cao and Chen Gong would have fallen into prison now.

After walking for two days, the group was only less than half a day's journey from Tiger Prison Pass. Xiahoudun observed the surrounding terrain, and suddenly pointed to one place and said.

"Aman, look. I remember that Lu Gong's Zhuangzi was near here. Duke Lu treats you like a parent, and he will never betray you. Let's go to Lu Gong Zhuangzi to rest for a day, make some supplies, and then ask Lu Gong to borrow some manpower. After tomorrow, rush to Tiger Prison Pass to meet Mr. Xun You and Cao Ren. In this way, our escape career is over. ”

"Hmm. That's fine. Father Lu and my father are brothers, and they have loved me the most since I was a child. Today, I am in trouble because of the assassination of Dong for the sake of righteousness, and he will definitely not ignore me. ”

The father Lu mentioned in Cao Cao's mouth is named Lu Bohao, and listening to Cao Cao's name for him as Father Lu, you can hear that the relationship between the two is not shallow. Cao Cao and his entourage rushed to the front of Luzhuang, which covers an area of dozens of acres, and is the largest village within a radius of 100 miles.

The guards at Lu Zhuang's house saw a pair of people coming, and immediately recognized Cao Cao when they looked at it, and hurriedly walked into the village to report. When Cao Cao arrived, Lu Bohao, who was gray-haired and dressed in simple but graceful manners, and was about fifty or sixty years old, greeted him with an anxious face.

"Aman, I heard that the imperial court is looking for you, and you must have suffered a lot when you look disgraced. Ah, why do you have so much blood on your body, get off your horse quickly and let the old man see it. ”

After saying that, Lu Boxao ran to Cao Cao's horse, and grabbed Cao Cao's hand very distressed, Cao Cao hurriedly dismounted, and before he could say anything, Lu Boxao kept reaching out to touch the bloodstained places on Cao Cao's body, and kept asking Cao Cao's injuries, looking concerned and sad.

"Father Lu rest assured, Aman is fine. It's just that the soldiers under Aman's command fled for their lives all the way, all of them were exhausted, and they wanted to spend the night at Lu's father's house. Tomorrow he will leave on his own. I don't know, is Father Lu willing? ”

"Oops. What do you say, you child? The old man has always told you to come whenever you want. Lu Zhuang is your Cao Apu's home. Look at your breath, you must be tired. Quick, go into the house and rest. ”

Lu Boyu grabbed Cao Cao's hand tightly, pulled Cao Cao and walked towards Zhuangzi, and Xiahoudun and Chen Gong and others, under the guidance of Lu Zhuang's family, also entered Lu Zhuang one after another.

Lu Boyu ordered the family to find dozens of sets of clean clothes, and after Cao Cao and the others changed into them, he ordered the family to slaughter the pigs and sheep in the village, preparing to entertain Cao Cao and the others.

After Cao Cao changed his clothes, he thanked Lu Bohao repeatedly, but Lu Bohao shook his hand again and again, and blamed Cao Cao with a smile.

And Lu Bohao later asked about Cao Cao's escape process all the way, and his face turned pale with fright when he heard the thrill, and he couldn't help but hold Cao Cao's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that Cao Cao would suddenly disappear in front of him. Then, when he heard that Chen Gong had saved Cao Cao, he actually saluted Chen Gong on the spot and thanked Chen Gong.

Chen Gong dared to accept such a big gift, and hurriedly helped Lu Bohao, and was about to speak, when a man who was born a little similar to Lu Boyao walked in outside the hall.

But when the man saw Cao Cao, his color changed on the spot, and his eyes first flashed with a trace of strong disgust, and then there was a dark light.

"Hehe, Joong-ki hasn't seen you for a long time. How have recent years been? ”

Cao Cao's face was overjoyed when he saw this man, and he got up and smiled.

This man is the son of Lu Bohao, named Lu Zhongji. When Cao Cao was young, he lived in Luzhuang for a short period of time, and he was a childhood friend of Lu Zhongji.

"Hmph. What can I do as a small person? Compared with you, who is known as the capable minister of the world and the hero of the troubled times, and the famous Cao Mengde, I am far behind. No, Aman assassinated Dong Xiangguo some time ago, causing a storm in the city, and your name Cao Mengde was mentioned in his mouth every day. ”

"Presumptuous! When did the old man teach you to speak so yin and yang! Naturally, you can't compare with Aman, who has been more than ten times better than you everywhere since he was a child. The old man often heard many teaching gentlemen talk about Aman, and no one gave a thumbs up, saying that Aman was the dragon and phoenix among people!

Thou art idle all day long, and thou art not knowing right from wrong. If there is one ten-thousandth of Aman's ability, the old man will be blind to death now! ”

Lu Joong Ki was scolded by his own Lao Tzu, his face instantly became extremely hideous, Lu Joong Ki's eyes were wide and wild, his whole face was shaking, and his exhaled snort was hot.

"You old immortal!! Since I was a child, you have compared me to this Cao Apu! Count me everywhere!! I'm unbearable everywhere in my body, and I'm disgusted by you everywhere!!

Could it be that I am the wild seed you picked up! And is this Cao Apo your own son!! ”

Lu Joong Ki roared inwardly, and the resentment accumulated over the years was almost about to explode.

"Father Lu, this is a bad statement. Joong Ki's talent is in no way inferior to me, but it has not been revealed. I believe that in the future, Joong Ki will definitely achieve a reputation that will make Lu's father proud. ”

Cao Cao's words did not reduce the resentment in Lu Zhongji's stomach in the slightest, but became even better. Lu Zhongji heard it in his ears, and only felt that Cao Cao was falling into the well and laughing at him.

"Enough! Since I was a child, I was considered by my father to be inferior to Ru Cao!! Anyway, I'm just an insignificant little person, how dare I compare myself to a big man like you. I'm leaving, so as not to make my father feel an eyesore!! ”

Lu Joong Ki flicked his sleeves and turned away angrily.

"Ruru!! You are this!! ”

Lu Bo was so angry that his white hair was about to stand up, chased after Lu Joong Ki, pointed at his back, and was about to blurt out the word disobedience. was pulled by Cao Cao, and instead went to say good things for Lu Zhongji.

"Father Lu, Joong Ki is just angry for a while, or he is worried that Aman will bring disaster to Lu Zhuang. He hated me, it was understandable, but Aman was not thoughtful, and after my men and horses rested for a while, he immediately left Luzhuang. ”

A trace of grief flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind the picture of Lu Zhongji, who was still a child in Lu Zhuang when he was a teenager, with snot hanging on his nose and chasing after him affectionately calling his brother. At that time, Lu Joong Ki admired him very much, but for some reason, time passed, and after more than ten years of separation, after he returned to Lu Zhuang, Lu Joong Ki would have a stomach full of resentment towards him, as if he regarded him as an enemy.
