"Xiang Xian's nephew came thousands of miles to escort Bo Jiao, it is really a great filial piety!" Lu Zhi, who was very close to Cai Yong, stepped forward and said, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan retreated when they saw this.

Seeing this, Xiang Ao also saluted and said: "The teacher is frail, this time the road to Shuofang is long, the boat is tired, Ao is the teacher's disciple, he must do a little filial piety, it is not worth mentioning!" ”

"Haha, good! Good! Good! ”

Three years ago, Xiang Ao went to Luoyang to study under the leadership of the old Taoist, and was fortunate to meet Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Kong Rong and other great Confucians, and I don't know what the identity of the old Taoist priest is, and everyone is an old friend. However, compared with Confucianism, Xiang Ao was more pleased to meet Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, who had the same ambitions, similar temperaments, and were each other's confidants. Of course, there is also a classmate of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei. This person is a member of the Han family, although he is down-and-out, he is also knowledgeable and likes to make friends.

Although Cao Cao was a eunuch, every time he talked with Cao Cao, Xiang Ao could understand Cao Cao's willingness to be loyal to the Han Dynasty from Cao Cao's words, and more effectively imitate the former champion Hou Zhizhi, who was willing to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty and protect the frontier. Gongsun Zhan is a famous family in Liaoxi, and he can be born at any time, but he is handsome, brave and extraordinary, and his talent is even more outstanding.

Xiang Ao is smart and clever, respectful of teachers, and very polite. When the old Taoist priest led Xiang Ao to visit Cai Yong, Cai Yong saw such a good jade, so he immediately put down his old face and 'threatened' the old Taoist priest to let Xiang Ao worship Cai Yong as a teacher. The old Taoist priest took Xiang Ao to meet Cai Yong, he already had this idea, seeing Cai Yong like this, of course the old Taoist priest pretended to be unwilling, and after a little shirk, he readily agreed.

As for why Lu Zhi called Xiang Ao a virtuous nephew, it was also because Cai Yong accepted apprentices. After apprenticeship, Xiang Ao's days in Luoyang were extremely rich, and he often accompanied Cai Yong to visit many great Confucians in the current dynasty, which made Xiang Ao's knowledge skyrocket. Of course, Xiang Ao is also fortunate to have seen many heroes, such as the young talents of the Xun clan of the Yingchuan clan, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew, although they are uncles and nephews, the two are of the same age.

Although Xiang Ao studied under Cai Yong, Sima Hui and Pang Degong gave face to the old Taoist priest, and spread a lot of fame for Xiang Ao in Xiangyang and Yingchuan, Xiang Ao was still a commoner with no foundation, and the intersection was acceptable.

"That's it!" Cai Yong saw that a group of people were making fun of Xiang Ao, so he pretended to be angry and stopped him: "The old man's disciple is so easy to bully? ”

"This time, I have to work hard to escort Ao'er into exile for the division!"

When Xiang Ao heard this, he hurriedly said: "The teacher is serious, filial piety comes first, and it is Xiang Ao's blessing to be able to serve the teacher!" ”

Cai Yong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

"Students are bold!" Cao Cao thought for a long time and stepped forward and said, "Teacher, Zi Gangong, I don't know how long it will take for Brother Ao to rush back after going to Shuofang with his teacher this time?" Brother Ao is talented and intelligent, and he has been taught by many Confucians and celebrities, if he can enter the court, he will definitely be a pillar of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Students dare to postulate!" Gongsun Chan was also born in battle. There is no fault in filial piety, but the two of them are officials in the court, and they can't see the eunuchs taking power, and their relatives are emperors, hoping that Xiang Ao can stand on the same front with them and help the Han.

"You don't have to worry, you are an official in the court, and there are various paths, why do you care so much about the form!" Lu Zhi took over and calmly stroked his chin and beard. Cai Yong also smiled incomprehensibly and didn't say much.

When the two of them heard this, although they didn't understand it too well, they were a little surprised.

"Brother Xiang, it's not good, Xianbei has gone south." Jiang Yan ignored etiquette and rushed into Xiang Ao's study and yelled. "But fortunately, it's not a large army, it's just a small group of cavalry that invades and loots."

"Huh? It's so fast. "Xiang Ao thought that Xianbei's entry and plunder would not start until at least after October, but he didn't expect that it would start to go south in early September." Ah Yan, call Jiao Meng and Jiao Jing, and then bring ten cavalrymen, I will be the so-called Xianbei today. ”

"Yes." Seeing that Xiang Ao was so serious, Jiang Yan not only straightened his body and replied loudly.

Xiang Ao and the others rushed to Shuofang for more than a month, and it was late autumn at this time. Before leaving, Lu Zhi gave Xiang Ao the elite of the twelve horsemen to help Xiang Ao send the adoption to Shuofang safely.

In a moment, Xiang Ao led twelve elite cavalry and stood neatly under the gate of Linrong County. Xiang Ao and the three of them had also changed into good horses at this time, and the northern part of the state and the northern Hebei region were originally horses where horses were produced, and there were many wild and good horses in addition to the business contacts of merchants from outside the region. In addition to a few fine products used by Xiang Ao for hunting before, the arrows also carried two pots of ordinary iron arrows to hang on the horse. Except for Xiang Ao and Jiao Meng, the rest of the people actually have average archery skills, but they can barely shoot at the target.

Still as before, Xiao Hei carried a dark iron spear on his back for Xiang Ao, and he carried a bow on his shoulder. It's a pity that after coming to the city gate, the captain who defended the city stopped Xiang Ao.

"Mr. Xiang, at this time, when the Xianbei invasion was coming, most of the people outside the city had already moved into the city, and most of the herdsmen of the Xianbei alien race were good at riding. Even if Mr. Xiang Xiao's strength is extraordinary and he is not afraid of them, but there are many of them, if Mr. Xiang is scattered, teach him how to explain to Cai and everyone, or don't go out. ”

Du Wei's surname is Zhang, his name is Long, no word, he was born in the army, he has only reached the post of Du Wei with his own efforts, and he does have some ability, although he is unable to take the initiative to attack, but he has defended well in recent years, and Xianbei has repeatedly become harassed and has not received too many substantial benefits. persuading Xiang Ao is also for the sake of Xiang Ao's lives.

Zhang Duwei was kind enough to accept it, but this year's Xianbei plundering was advanced, presumably Zhang Duwei did not have time to transfer the people, and at this time, I don't know how many people in the villages outside the city are being bullied. Ao has no other ambitions, he just wants to save the people with his own little bravery. I also hope that Lord Du Wei will no longer stop him, if there is really an accident, it is also a bad number of Ao lives, and it has nothing to do with Lord Du Wei. ”

Xiang Ao made a request: "Besides, Ao and other horses are also good horses, if it is not possible, Ao Ding will take everyone to leave quietly, he will not come nonsense, Ao is still young, and he wants to live a few more years." ”

"But..."

"Lord Duwei let him go, if Ao and the others are lucky enough to get the head of the alien race, won't my Shuofang County also have a great achievement?"

Zhang Long's heart was moved, he had also seen Xiang Ao's martial arts in the past few days, and he also asked Xiang Ao to learn a little, so he had to take it. Although his career has almost come to an end, if Shuofang County only has a degree of defense and no merits, it is mainly if what Xiang Ao said is really successful, not to mention the promotion of official positions, but the prestige of such merits can make Zhang Long have more status among the scholars.

"If Mr. Xiang Xiao is so sure, it is not good to block it too much, but please also bring a guard under it, it is not very useful to do anything else, and it is convenient for Mr. Xiang Xiao to find his way as a guide." After speaking, Zhang Long beckoned the people behind him to come forward, and the celebrity took out the horses and handed them over to the guards.

"It's bothering your lordship." Xiang Ao bowed to this person.

"Mr. is called the villain Wang Wu."

When Zhang Long opened the city gate, Xiang Ao said goodbye and led everyone out to the north.

"Mr. Xiang, the villagers of the two villages just now have moved into the city, and there is still a village about ten miles ahead that will be notified in the future, Mr. look..."

"Then hurry over." Xiang Ao interrupted Wang Wu, picked up the meteoric iron spear from Xiao Hei, and galloped in the direction he pointed, and everyone behind him had seen Xiang Ao's martial arts in the recent days, and they had great respect for Xiang Ao, and they did not hesitate to follow. Wang Wu's face was full of solemnity, and it was unlikely that he could go back alive from this outing, so he could only find a way to see how to save Xiang Ao's life.

Everyone ran wildly, and after a while, they had come to the outside of the village, and occasionally rushed to the village with a voice that Xiang Ao couldn't understand, so they knew that the village must have suffered, so they were even more anxious, and rushed in from the entrance of the village with a hit on the horse's belly. Entering the village, it was full of ruins, some houses had even caught fire, many people fell in pools of blood in front of the houses, some of the abdominal wounds were wide open, the intestines had flowed out, some of the bodies were separated, and even many women had red and erosive lower bodies, and their faces were full of tears.

Xiang Ao was already grinning at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and the anger in his heart had deformed his facial features to look like demons. A hundred steps came in a moment, and what he saw almost made Xiang Ao lose his mind.

At this time, the few remaining people in the village were gathered and tied together by Xianbei, and the two Xianbei people were naked at this time, shaking on the body of a girl who was about ten years old and had not yet reached the end of the year, the girl cried loudly, and her weak hands angrily slapped the chest and back of the Xianbei man. And the eight Xianbei men next to him laughed and said, as if they were still pointing something.

The villagers who were tied up were crying and scolding, and one of the farmers was even more open-eyed, bloodshot exposed, and the blood vessels in his neck were about to burst, looking at the girl who was preparing for bullying and crying: "My daughter... Yes... Brute... A group of damned beasts, after the old man dies, he will become a terrible ghost and haunt you for the rest of his life, ah..."The farmer struggled violently and roared, and one of the Xianbei men seemed to feel irritated when he heard it, so he stepped forward and kicked the farmer in the chest, and the farmer fell to the ground on his back, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell down in a languid, but the cannibalistic eyes were not weakened by the serious injury and malaise.

"Wait for the damn." Xiang Ao shouted, jumped up from his horse and jumped into the crowd of Xianbei Han, and instantly slashed the two Xianbei Hans who ruined the girl, and blood gushed Xiang Ao's body. The remaining Xianbei eight people were slightly stunned and then quickly picked up the scimitar and surrounded Xiang Ao, Xianbei and the others were not stupid, they knew at a glance that Xiang Ao's force was extraordinary, and he did not step forward recklessly. Xiang Ao ignored them, came to the girl's side, and with two shots, he picked apart the body of the Xianbei man who was screaming and was not dead, and tore his clothes from his body and covered the girl.

One of the Xianbei people yelled at Xiang Ao, Xiang Ao didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, in his heart, this group of people would die.

"You have ruined my big Han people so much, and today I teach you to know that bullying my big man is in a dilemma." Xiang Ao's voice was low, trembling slightly because of anger, his eyes were also deep-set, and his body was covered with blood, like an abyss monster descending into the world, which was extremely terrifying. After finishing speaking, the people who followed Xiang Ao had also arrived, and what they saw along the way also made everyone as angry as Xiang Ao.

However, seeing Xiang Ao's state at this time, the Jiao Meng brothers and Xiao Hei didn't dare to make a sound, and Xiang Ao's face was too terrifying. The rest of the people who came with them also felt that the atmosphere was solemn, and when they saw Xiang Ao's expression, they also broke out in a cold sweat, is this a human expression?

"Ah Yan, save the villagers. Today, if I don't cut it with a thousand knives, it will be difficult to calm the cruelty in my heart and the resentment of the dead people. ”

"Yes, Brother Xiang." Jiang Yan didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly called everyone to vigilantly bypass the Xianbei people surrounding Xiang Ao and rescue the villagers.

"Xiao Hei, abolish these people." After Xiang Ao instructed Xiao Hei, he turned around and picked up the girl with one hand, and stood still with the meteoric iron spear.

After listening to this, Xiao Hei scurried around in the Xianbei crowd as if he had disappeared. After a while, the rest of the Xianbei people all fell to the ground and screamed, but their limbs couldn't move.

Looking at the hateful gaze among the villagers, Xiang Ao knew that if he didn't let them vent today, it would be difficult to live well in the future. Without waiting for Xiang Ao to say, the girl in her arms had endured the severe pain in her lower body and came to the side of a big man, and there was not much of it, she bit the neck of the Xianbei big man hard, and a large piece of meat was bitten by the girl in the mouth, and then spit it out, kneeling on the ground and laughing wildly.

Before Xiang Ao could persuade her, the girl turned over and headed towards Xiang Ao's downward gun, stabbing the girl in the heart. Xiang Ao was already uneasy, and he didn't pay attention to the death will in the girl's eyes when she laughed madly, and she was already stunned at this time.

Xiang Ao hurriedly put down the spear and squatted and dragged the girl up with both hands, his heart was blocked, and he didn't know what to say.

"Big brother, thank you, thank you..." Xiang Ao's heart was even more panicked at this time, and his hands were even tighter in the girl's clothes.

At the same time, the remaining villagers also pounced on the Xianbei man at the same time, kicking or smashing, and some biting with grief and anger like girls, constantly venting the hatred in their hearts. Seeing this, everyone did not stop it, and their hearts were actually even more angry, if it were not for the perennial teaching of etiquette, I am afraid that the rest of the people would also be eager to eat their flesh.

Suppressing the grief and indignation in his heart, Xiang Ao put down the girl's corpse: "Ah Jing, you will lead the four people to bury the corpses of the villagers, and then send the rest of the villagers back to Linrong County." Xiang Ao beckoned Jiang Yan, Jiao Meng and Wang Wu took the rest of the cavalry on their horses and prepared to go to the village further north, "Also, cut off the heads of these Xianbei people and bring them back to Linrong County to entrust County Lieutenant Zhang to hang them at the city gate to show the public." ”
