Chapter 153: Assassination
"Hehe, I really didn't expect it, it turns out that Brother Cao is interested in our Yingchuan Academy, and it just so happens that I also graduated from Yingchuan Academy. , I don't know why Brother Cao must visit Yingchuan Academy today! Zhou Yin said to Cao Xuan with some puzzlement.
"Oh, yes. I also like to read since I was a child, but unfortunately my family is poor and has never had the opportunity, and I am self-taught, so I am very yearning for students. ”
Cao Xing was smiling and saying insincere words, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.
Yingchuan Academy is a place where talents are produced, and many famous strategists in the Three Kingdoms have studied there, and now Cao Xing's idea is that as soon as he sets foot in Yingchuan Academy, he will find the dean there and directly ask him to bring Guo Jia out. Cao Xing will definitely dig out the ghost talent in the Three Kingdoms this time.
Because Cao Xing also knows that top strategists like Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun and so on. They have all been taught here, but many people are disadvantaged by family backgrounds, Cao Xing found them, but they were unwilling to follow Cao Xing, and Cao Xing had no choice, but Guo Jia was different, Guo Jia was a poor scholar, even in Yingchuan Academy, he was helpless, if Cao Xing really wanted to take him away, it is estimated that Zhou Yin could only happily agree.
Thinking that he was about to meet the ghosts in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Xing's heart was excited, until he walked to Yingchuan Academy, Cao Xing's passionate heart finally completely dimmed, only to see the door closed, only an old scholar sweeping the floor there.
Zhou Ying went up and asked the uncle for the first few words, then walked over, patted his head apologetically and said to Cao Xing: "General Cao, look at my memory, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion intensified a few years ago, it has spread to Yingchuan, Yingchuan Academy has long been closed, only a few gentlemen, with their proud disciples to travel around, I actually forgot this, it really hurt General Cao You ran in vain, I'm really sorry!" ”
Looking at the locked door, it seemed to be telling himself that he was shut out of Cao Xing here, and a cool breeze blew through Cao Xing's heart, Cao Xing's whole heart was cold, he originally thought that he had picked up a treasure, but he never expected that he came here to take a move, but he didn't catch anything, even Xun Yu and Xun Yu were not in Yingchuan.
Zhou Yin's wife had already told Cao Xing, and his uncle and brother had already gone out to travel, so even if Cao Xuan went to their house in person, it would be impossible to find their people.
Therefore, Cao Xing's wishful thinking is really frustrated, but in a trance, Cao Xing thought of another sentence, sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to ask for it, now Cao Xing is so close to Yingchuan Academy, but he has not met anyone, this may be the so-called providence.
Thinking of this, Cao Xuan also smiled helplessly, smiled and then said to Zhou Yin: "Zhou Taishou doesn't need to mind, I, Cao Xing, are just here, since everyone is not here, let's go back quickly, count the days, I have stayed in Yingchuan for the same time, I should go back to Luoyang to recover my life!" ”
Zhou Yin nodded, then waved his hand, and walked back in the direction of Taishou Mansion with people, Cao Xing and Zhou Yin walked in the forefront, although Cao Yin said that he didn't care, but his heart was still more or less miserable, so he didn't say a word along the way, and Zhou Yin was silent next to him.
Everyone walked quietly like this, but after walking for a distance, Zhou Yin led people to pass by a bush.
Cao Xing's ear power is excellent, he seems to hear a little other sound in this grass, originally Cao Xing didn't care too much, there are many insects in this grass, and it is not uncommon to make a little noise, but Cao Xing listens to it, there is something wrong, how can the sound be so loud, like a group.
Cao Xing's heart was suddenly shocked, Huo Ran raised his head, and found that Zhou Yin and the others didn't seem to notice anything wrong at the moment, Cao Xing just wanted everyone to be on guard, but it was too late at the moment, only to see countless people with kitchen knives or wooden sticks rushing out of the grass, directly attacking Zhou Yin and the others.
The other party came so suddenly, so that Cao Xing, Zhou Yin and the others were all caught off guard, and it can be seen that in this group of people, there is a young man wearing a cloth coat and holding a long sword without saying a word, shouting, and the more he goes up in the air, a sword stabs Zhou Yin's chest.
In the face of people who practice martial arts, Zhou Yin is a scholar who is completely powerless, and this sudden sword just hit Zhou Yin's chest, Zhou Yin's whole person was shocked, and he was unstable in his seat, and he turned over and fell off the horse directly.
Seeing that the young man with the sword, holding the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand, seemed to be about to attack Zhou Yin, Cao Xuan next to him quickly took off its huge broad-headed knife from his back, and then the sword blade hit, directly hitting the young man's long sword, Cao Xing's arm strength was so great, the young man with his long sword, actually retreated more than three steps.
Cao Xuan also took advantage of this gap to quickly dismount and block in front of Zhou Yin, and then shouted to the sergeant behind him: "Everyone take out their weapons and protect Zhou Taishou!" ”
After a short period of panic, the officers and soldiers brought out by Zhou Yin also reflected, they were facing a group of mobs, because the situation came too suddenly, so they didn't think much about it, directly took out the weapons in their hands, and began to fight back against this group of mobs.
Suddenly, the shouting of killing in this place shook the sky, and Cao Xing looked at the young man in front of him with burning eyes.
The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a three-foot Qingfeng was tightly held in his hand, which had the taste of a chivalrous man.
Cao Xing felt the breath of this young man well, and was surprised to find that the martial arts aura on the young man's body had reached the sixth level of martial arts, and he was considered a master.
However, Cao Xuan did not flinch, and directly slashed his broad-headed knife, which was about seven feet long, to his chest, ready for battle.
And the young man did not hesitate, shouted, and danced a beautiful sword flower in the air with his long sword, and then the fast Cao Xuan came to kill.
Cao Xuan held his breath and calmly responded to the attack of the young man in front of him, Cao Xuan used the sword trick of the king he learned, the sword trick of the king is about domineering and sweeping, but Cao Xuan didn't know anything about the youth in front of him, so he adopted a more conservative style of play, that is, he used a broad-handed knife to defend his body from being airtight.
The broad-headed knife is a huge and bulky thing, so he can defend his body tightly, and after more than ten rounds, Cao Xing gradually saw the path of the young man in front of him.
The swordsmanship used by this young man is completely the kind used by people in the rivers and lakes, and he is an out-and-out chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes.
As for the swordsmanship he used, it was inclined to assassination, which was both light and dexterous, and if he was not careful, he was likely to be stabbed by his long sword.
After figuring out all this, a ray of light flashed in Cao Xing's eyes, he continued to fight with the young man, the young man didn't say a word, and a long sword stabbed straight over, and Cao Xuan looked at this menacing sword, he just raised the broad-headed knife with his right hand, the young man's long sword hit Cao Xing's broad-handed knife without accident, and felt the great power from the young man's long sword, and the broad-headed knife was now close to Cao Xuan's body.
This young man's martial arts attainments are really not low, Cao Xing can't stop it with only one hand, but fortunately, Cao Xing has the advantage of weapons, and the broad-headed knife is powerful and heavy, even if this young man's strength is great, no matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, he can't pierce the defense of the broad-headed knife, and at this moment, Cao Xing's left hand is gone, I saw him take out a small dart from his arms, and then throw it lightly, and it was pierced into the young man's thigh.
Seeing that his thighs were suddenly bleeding, the young man screamed in pain, scolding Cao Xing, not being righteous, and actually cheating.
And Cao Xing showed a sneer. Who told you so many rules on the battlefield, since this young man has been injured, then take advantage of your illness to kill you, Cao Xing's broad-headed knife hit the young man's shoulder, and the young man's shoulder was hit again, and even the long sword in his hand fell to the ground weakly.
Immediately after that, Cao Xuan kicked the young man to the ground, and the young man struggled to sit up from the ground, but Cao Xuan returned the blade of the knife, which had already hit the young man's neck, and felt the cold coming from the blade, and the young man knew that he had completely lost.
However, this young man still seems to have a lot of backbone, even if he was subdued by Cao Xing, he still lay on the ground and watched Cao Xing scold.
"I said that you dog officials are simply careless of human life, and heaven does not tolerate it, just wait, sooner or later you will be punished!"
Hearing this, Cao Xuan couldn't help frowning, he looked around, the place where they were was Yingchuan Changshe, which was very close to the center, with Zhou Yin's person, he would never do anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, why did this young man say it as if he had been wronged.
But in any case, in broad daylight, it is already a capital crime to gather a crowd to rebel and assassinate Taishou, so Cao Xing doesn't care so much, he directly waved his hand and ordered the surrounding sergeants to solve the battle immediately.
Hearing Cao Xing's order, he looked at the young leader again, who was already prostrate on the ground at this moment. The surrounding officers and soldiers were also demoralized, and with the swords in their hands, they slaughtered and slashed at those rebels, and after almost half an hour, the battle was finally over, and the mob was either killed, or all squatted on the ground and surrendered with their heads in their hands.
And Cao Xuan first kicked the young man on the ground and told him not to act rashly, and then two soldiers came over and took the young man backwards, and then took him away, after that, Cao Xuan looked at the rear, at this moment someone had come up to bandage Zhou Yin simply, but Zhou Yin seemed to be still very weak and not out of danger of life.
