Chapter 39 The Past
The knife rises, the head falls!
Lunatic! This guy is a lunatic!
The two Hun soldiers couldn't help but retreat, but the murderous aura on the Han young man in front of him made his knees weak.
"Yikes!" An angry roar was accompanied by the sound of collision, and this originally quiet wilderness was now like a Shura field, and there was pungent blood everywhere.
Cao Tianlei swayed his body and walked to his younger brother's side and cut the rope on his body.
"Why are you following?"
"I ......" Facing his brother's reprimand, Cao Tianque couldn't make any sound, he lowered his head and sobbed deeply, Cao Tianlei sighed: "Forget it, let's go together, where is your horse?" ”
Cao Tianque pointed to a tree not far away, Cao Tianlei bent his body slightly and wanted to go over, but suddenly a sharp arrow cut through the air and plunged directly into his chest.
Cao Tianlei secretly screamed badly, he hurriedly turned around and protected Cao Tianque, who wanted to move from the tree, in his arms.
The rain of arrows returned, and the brother in front of him blocked the arrows like a shield.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually came in the distance, and the rain of arrows seemed to sense this killing intent and stopped in a hurry, and Cao Tianlei also fell on his younger brother after hearing his father's voice.
At this moment, his face was covered with blood, and countless arrows were stuck in his back, like an embarrassed hedgehog.
"Brother! I ......"
"Live, replace me, ...... well" Cao Tianlei took out a jade pendant from his arms, Cao Tianque knew that it was left to him by his mother, but now it has been damaged by the rain of arrows.
Cao Tianque grabbed the jade pendant and looked at his brother who slowly closed his eyes in his arms, at that moment his world seemed to be frozen, his father's angry reprimand, and the dissuasion of the generals were like the wind before it reached his ears.
Speaking of this, Cao Tianque gently stroked the piece of residual jade in his hand.
"Because of my stubbornness, I killed my favorite brother, and I swore that I would live in my place, because my life was given by him, and it didn't belong to me alone, you know?"
Cao Tianque's story surprised Lu Zhao a little, in his opinion, Cao Tianque was a very talented general, but he never thought that he would have such an ordinary past.
"This is not a bad thing for you, on the battlefield, you will see people you know, people close to you fall next to you, they will be killed, they will be cut off by sharp blades, and you can't do anything but fight, since you have chosen to stay here, then you must know that the battlefield is an unreasonable place, the strong live, the weak die, that's all."
As he spoke, Cao Tianque had already stood up, and he saw that the young man in front of him was thoughtful, and seemed to have realized something, this is very good, I hope he can figure it out.
Lu Zhao stared at the corner of the wall in a daze for a long time, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he got up and wanted to go out, but he didn't want to, but he directly collided with someone.
Lu Zhao looked at the person who came, it was none other than Yu Zhan.
"What are you doing?" Yu Zhan rubbed his forehead that was hurt, Lu Zhao didn't have time to cry out for pain and grabbed Yu Zhan's shoulder: "Which direction did Zhao Er go?" ”
"What did you say?" Yu Zhan didn't react for a while, but Lu Zhao seemed to be very anxious, and before he could say anything, Lu Zhao pushed him away and rushed out.
The snow outside has melted slightly, the road is a little slippery, although Lu Zhao's injuries have been fine, but he has been recuperating in the past few days, but his body is still very weak, and he is unstable and falls directly to the ground.
The pain and cold calmed him down a lot, and he slowly got up and looked at the vast space in the distance, and some things in his heart had changed a little because of Cao Tianque's story.
As he said, he chose this path to be prepared to accept whatever could happen, the battlefield is cold, but the human heart is warm.
Lu Zhao covered his chest, and he felt that a strong feeling was bursting out there, which was the most primitive power of life.
Thank you, Zhao Er!
Not far away, Cao Tianque looked at this young man, on that piece of snow, he was as lonely as a wounded lone wolf, but he knew better than anyone else the lethality of this wolf, and he was very glad that the young man named Zhao Er protected this warlike wolf with one leg.
A few days later, Lu Zhao's body had recovered as before, but the wooden bow that had been with him for a long time was not so lucky, when Lu Zhao was about to try his skills, before he could use three points of strength, the wooden bow made a crisp sound and broke into two sections.
Lu Zhao was quite surprised, this wooden bow was carefully made by the old carpenter in the village with the oldest bamboo in the village, and it was said that it would not be a problem to use it for the last ten years or eight years, but this was only two or three years later, and the wooden bow was broken like this.
Lu Zhao looked at the remnant bow in his hand, could it be that this guy was going to leave him?
"Use this."
When Lu Zhao was sluggish, a wooden bow was already in his hand, this wooden bow was heavier than his own, and the surface was smoother and more translucent, not to mention the bow and arrow that had been used for more than five years, the paint marks in some places had peeled off, but the feel was better than his own.
"General Cao, this ......"
"I'm still worried about your reward, isn't that settled now?" Cao Tianque pointed to the bow and arrow that was handed to Lu Zhao: "The archer needs a good bow, although this one is worn out, it also takes the head of more than a hundred Hun soldiers, I think it is worthy of you." ”
Lu Zhao looked at this bow and arrow in disbelief, to be honest, although this bow and arrow was much better than his own, it was not exquisite everywhere, but there was an indescribable feeling of pleasure in his hand.
"It's not like I'm trying it yet."
"Yes!" Lu Zhao responded, he took out an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring, and the arrow came out in his hand, only to hear a gust of wind, and the arrow directly sank into the target more than three inches.
What a strong force!
Lu Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, because the injury was not his full strength, but the power of this bow and arrow really frightened him.
"How's this bow?"
Lu Zhao nodded: "The bow feels very good, although it is not of the highest grade, but this bowstring ......" Lu Zhao stared at the bowstring for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the general what material this bowstring is?" ”
"This one!" Cao Tianque smiled: "This is the tiger tendon I extracted after I met a tiger a few years ago, the tiger is in the prime of life, and the muscles and bones are extremely strong, it just so happened that my bowstring was broken at that time and I was sent to replace it, I didn't want to have such strength." ”
Animal muscles and bones are the materials used to make bowstrings, and this tiger tendon is of the highest quality, and ordinary people can get it, but imagine how precious this bow and arrow is to Cao Tianque, and now Cao Tianque has given this thing to himself......
Lu Zhao raised his head, and from Cao Tianque's eyes, he saw the scorching and burning fighting spirit.
