The palace road is long, the moss climbs up the wall, full of life, and then, a heavy foot stepped on, on the palace walls on both sides, the figure crawled, and the imperial city soldiers with bows and crossbows poked out their eyes, peeking at the black armor below, and a long dragon stretched out neatly, passing through here.

"......Cao thief, and Gongsun Zhi......" A voice whispered, and raised his bow and arrow.

A little dust fell. The emaciated old man strode with his head held high, scolded Xu Chu who wanted to come over to support him, looked at the front with a flat gaze, and held his hands behind, unmoved by the dust falling above the palace wall, "Gongsun, the emperor has finally grown up...... I want to spread my wings and fly high. ”

Gongsun Zhiyu on the side glanced at the top, snorted coldly in his nose, and accompanied the old man to continue walking slowly, while the ironclad man of the Tiger Guard Battalion behind him had already tightened the iron shield, and pressed the handle of the knife with the other hand, the nerves were tense to the extreme, and the guard wolf rider a little behind also held the double knife in the sheath of his waist.

At this moment, the air resounded with the trembling of the bowstring—

A dark night passed through the morning light, nailed to the feet of the old man, his steps slowly stopped, the white head hung slightly, looking at the feather arrow inserted in the ground trembling slightly, haha laughed, his eyes returned to the right, at the end of the field of vision, the black crowd rushed over, someone shouted: "Kill Cao Thief and Gongsun Zhi——"

"Kill the thief—"

The sound of footsteps and shouts exploded in the palace road, and the crowd roared angrily and drew their swords and ran wildly: "Kill Gongsun Zhi!" ”

"You see, the Son of Heaven still has great ambitions." With a faint smile on his face, he stepped forward again, facing the palace guards who were killing over there.

Above the palace wall, arrows rained down, the sound of ping-pong continued to bounce off the raised iron shield, Cao Cao's personal guards in the palace road were also fighting back with bows, from time to time someone screamed and fell down, Zhao Yun, who walked in the middle of the team, threw the gentian gun to the soldiers around him, pulled the bow and arrows, and a palace guard who had just changed the arrow and leaned out again didn't even have time to scream, and was directly shot in the face of the door and fell down.

The silver-armored and white-robed general kept drawing arrows and pulling his bow as he walked, and with every sound of the strings, someone with an archer was shot dead and fell off the palace wall. "A hundred people, go to the front with Ben." Zhao Yun threw his bow aside, and his indifferent voice roared angrily when the crowd at the end of the palace road came, and he took the gentian spear and pulled out his legs and ran wildly forward, and the hundred white wolf riders who followed him also ran wildly.

The waves are getting closer and closer.

Gongsun Zhi, who walked calmly, walked side by side with Cao Cao as if he were ignoring them, and behind him, Xu Chu and Dian Wei rushed to the front from both sides with weapons, and roared, "We are waiting for the Lord to speak openly——"

The Guards Wolf Rider and the Tiger Guard Battalion Armor Warriors surged out, and the two sides touched for a moment. The sound of countless swords colliding and shields hitting people's bodies filled the ears, and the two huge giants crashed into the pile of people like tigers in a rage, Dian Wei slashed and swept left and right with a double halberd, bringing the broken corpse to fly over the top of the person's head, and occasionally a halberd fiercely smashed into the shield raised on the opposite side, poking the opponent with a shield into tatters. Xu Chu stabbed the person with a knife and flew up, and the high-held tiger-headed broadsword then fell, cutting the body in the air into two sections and going to the front, knocking down several people.

The two of them pushed the incoming palace guards out of two paths like chariots, and the tiger guard battalion holding high the iron shield followed closely behind, killing the crowd to both sides of the palace wall, Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao walked in the middle, and there were corpses falling at their feet, and they stepped over without looking at them, and continued to move forward.

"It's a pity for these people......"

Cao Cao saw a palace guard with his arm cut off, screaming and squirming on the ground, and then was pushed over and the guard wolf rode and cut off his neck, the old man retracted his gaze and said this, and quietly went forward, he had reached the end of the palace road, the majestic Chengguang Hall was already opposite the field of vision, and the civil and military forces who poured out of the main hall, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, stood on the stone steps and looked at this side. The old man looked at it for a while, and his voice began to become weak, "Over there, it's not over, they'll come over themselves." ”

All around, the sound of fighting was endless, and five hundred palace guards walked out of the palace road with Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao, and they were also chased and slashed by the tiger guard camp and the guard wolf rider like adults beating children. At this time, on the palace wall at the end, a figure suddenly rushed down, and the sound of the sword brushed the air, bringing out a soft groan-

"Brave rats dare to sneak attack!"

A touch of white that rushed wildly, jumped up, roared, and then threw the gentian in his hand, and the falling swordsman also stood on end at this moment, and almost subconsciously slashed the sword blade of the lower stab, it was a crisp sound of gold and iron, and the whole upside-down figure flew out and hit the palace wall, and the dust fell down.

"Cao thief, Gongsun Zhi! Wang Yue is here—" The swordsman who climbed up with his sword roared.

Over there, Gongsun Zhi didn't look at him, helped the old man turn around and walked up to the Imperial City Tower, turned his face slightly, looked at Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu and waved his hand: "Those who committed murder this time will all be executed!" ”

In front of the Chengguang Palace, Liu Xie looked at the corpses all over there, and couldn't help but shudder, but when he saw the two of them slowly walking up to the Imperial City Tower, his heart was also full of doubts.

What do they want to do.......

In the city, more than 2,000 people who were entangled rushed across the streets, and the people were so frightened that they scattered and screamed and ran away, and when the messengers patrolling the streets hurriedly rang the gong, they were slashed to the ground by the people who came to the ground, raised their feet and kicked the gong away, and waved their knives to point at the faint purpose of the imperial city and shouted: "There are our people at the city gate, kill Gongsun Zhi——"

A little farther away, the sound of horses' hooves shook the bazaar, the crowd scattered to dodge, watching thousands of cavalry galloping away, Cao Pi and Cao Zhen were waiting on horseback not far away, and when they saw Xiahou Nan who came first, they hurriedly said: "Why is it so slow, my father has been coerced by Gongsun Zhi to go to the palace, and it may also endanger Your Majesty!" ”

During the conversation, Xiahoudun led the cavalry over, "Where is the eldest brother?" ”

"My father has entered the Imperial City!"

One-eyed opened suddenly, pinched the horse's belly, and shouted: "Drive!" The three hundred cavalry then burst out with a whoop and followed the generals, followed by Cao Pi, Xiahou Nan, and Cao Zhen. When approaching the imperial city, another cavalry from the south of the city at the intersection in front of him, about 500 horsemen, was blocking in the middle, and among them, 200 tiger horsemen pressed down the iron spears.

"Miaocai, what do you mean by this?!" Standing on the reins, Xiahoudun shouted on the back of the horse to the opposite side, and the knights under his command also followed, and also suppressed the spear and stood on guard. When Cao Pi saw this scene, his face was shocked, and he shouted, "Uncle Xiahou, what are you going to do?" ”

Xiahou Yuan raised his hand, the cavalry with bows and guns slowly lowered their arms, and the people who were running in panic nearby also looked at him with doubts and doubts. The war horse shook his mane, and he arched his hand: "Brother is murderous and leads the troops over, what is the matter?" ”

"What are you doing here again?!" Xiahoudun was already impatient, smashed the tail of the gun on the ground with a bang, pointed at the imperial city and shouted: "The eldest brother was taken to the palace by Gongsun Zhi, and he still stopped me?" You're still not from the Xiahou family—"

"Gongsun Dudu is not what his brother said." Xiahou Yuan asked people to collect the sword soldiers, and rode his horse back to the side, "Brother will temporarily restrain his anger, go in with his brother and take a look, won't everything be known?" ”

On the other side, Xiahou Dun approached with a gun and rode a horse, Cao Pi was anxious to shout, but he reached out and pulled Xiahou Nan next to him, who understood and shouted at his father: "Father be careful, what if there is an ambush in the city?" ”

"Hugh's words, I believe in Miaocai."

In front of them, the swarming waves of people were still running wildly, and they did not know that there were cavalry in the rear. Further ahead, at the foot of the Imperial City Tower, there were corpses all over the ground, and the palace teacher named Wang Yue was beaten and fell to the ground, and the remaining strength slid out of a long distance, and within the struggling and shaking vision, the white-robed general holding the gentian walked slowly.

…….

The sun has a temperature, and the air has a bloody smell.

"Only here can we see the majesty and magnificence of Xudu."

On the city tower, the staggering steps have completed the last stone steps, the body trembling and trembling along the wall, the body that has run out of oil and the lamp seems to have vitality again, the steps have become a little brisk, in the bright morning sun, he looked at the buildings stretching out in the field of vision, and the corners of his mouth have a smile.

"..... old days...... I like to stand here, overlooking the whole Xudu, and watch it ...... little by little In my hands, I became as majestic ..... majestic as I am today, even when I was most tired...... As long as you stand on it and look at it more, your heart will be indescribably happy...... But in the future, I'm afraid I won't see it. ”

In the cloudy eyes, tears slid down.

"Prime Minister, take good care of your body, you may not be able to see this Xuchang City every day." Gongsun Zhi's face was slightly moved, he turned his gaze, at the foot of the imperial city in the distance, more than 2,000 people were surging over, and someone pointed to the two people standing in the city tower and shouted hysterically, and then let out a rampant laugh.

"Gongsun, do you think these people look like a pack of vicious dogs? When they are still in good health, standing on this capital city, how dare they bare their teeth and bark wildly! ”

……

Below the city tower, Wang Yue "Ah-" roared violently, the guns and swords exploded, the white cloak was lifted, and a cold light made a buzzing sound, alarming the eardrums, that Wang Yue slashed over with sword light, and at the moment of the exchange of gold and iron, his figure stepped on the ground in embarrassment...... The sound of kicking and kicking, the unstoppable flying back, the loud bang, the solid hit the wall, the hair bun on the head was shaken and hung down, and the Han sword in his hand flew in the air, and then fell, stuck on the floor tiles and swayed.

"How can the old man lose to your next life!" Under the scattered hair, when Wang Yue's mouth was full of blood and he roared, he rushed out of a distance of two feet like a tiger, stretched out his hand, grabbed the weapon on the ground, and vigorously swung out the four-sided Han sword called 'Dengge', the blade tore through the air, reflecting the sky as if drawing a fan-shaped light.

"The general of the battlefield, how can you compare with the Green Forest Ranger."

After more than ten years of fighting in the south and the north, from the east to the west, Zhao Yun's martial arts have long been different from what they used to be, in the cold voice, the gentian stabbed straight across the front, with a turn of the wrist, the head of the spear accurately pasted against the opponent's sword, and at the same time unloading some strength, he turned around abruptly, and the cloak was torn under Wang Yue's sword, and under the torn cloak, the white horse sword was pulled out.

——The swordsmanship of the Xiliang Ma family.

Hearing only a few extremely fast sword sounds, the Dengge Sword in Wang Yue's hand flew into the sky again, his hands were cracked, full of blood, and he kept retreating. On the other side, when Zhao Yun turned around, the long soldier in his hand had disappeared when he took out his sword, and something fell in the sky, and the general holding the sword reached out to catch it for a moment and threw it out.

The silver spear made a phoenix roar—

Wang Yue, who was still retreating, leaned against the wall, and the next moment, the tip of the spear burst into the body with blood, stabbing into the body, and the whole person was hung on the palace wall.

The white robe stroked, Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and pulled out the gentian, looking at the group of people rushing outside the open palace gate, the gentian in one hand and the white horse in the other hand stood there, and then, the sword blade was raised: "The lord has an order, and those who make trouble will be killed!" ”

Xu Chu left the mutilated corpse, carrying a tiger's head knife and a face full of blood, the vicious and hideous Dian Wei walked over side by side, and laughed when he saw a group of 'local chickens and dogs' rushing over, and the surrounding tiger guard battalion soldiers, white wolf riders, and guard wolf riders also laughed wildly, and then ...... Collided directly, and mutilated corpses were thrown high in their advance.

On the castle tower.

"You have a good bunch of soldiers...... Good general......"

The wind blew softly here, the golden sunlight shone on the old man's face, he glanced at the Han flag floating not far away, his dry lips trembled slightly, he looked at this vast and majestic Xuchang City, looked at the endless land outside the city, his body moved slowly, and his thin hand stroked the Han flag waving in the wind.

"...... when I was young, I was determined to run for my family and country, and when I was the general of the Western Expedition to expand the territory and expand the territory....... the year of my establishment, the Yellow Turban plagued my Han states, and I could only raise the lance to contribute to the country....... and now I have been in power for more than 20 years, racking my efforts, trying to cheer up this Han family, trying to save the Han Dynasty in my heart, and trying to save the Han Dynasty in my heart......

The raised hand hung weakly on the fence, closed his eyes, and water stains rolled down from the corners of his eyes, "After many years, my hair has become black and white...... Although the turtle lives ....."

"....... is still in time...... Cao Cao pulled out the Heavenly Sword at his waist, gently brushed the veins on it, and looked in a trance, "....... The old ......man pursed his lips tightly, and handed over the sword quite reluctantly, his voice hoarse: "Gongsun, you take it, for me, for the people of the world, and for the thousands of people who died in this troubled world, to open up a peaceful world." ”

He patted Gongsun Zhi's hand holding the sword vigorously, looked at this piece of heaven and earth, this city, and said softly: "..... really want to see a prosperous world." ”

There was a miserable cry below, and there were horses' hooves rushing here from outside the imperial city, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan saw Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhi on the city tower for the first time, and pointed at the rabble with swords and guns: "Destroy them——"

The Iron Rider swept away. Then, Cao Pi's voice rang out: "Father! Gongsun stops! You're not going to kill my father—"

He screamed with tears streaming down his face, turned around and shouted at Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan: "Two uncles, isn't this Gongsun Zhi pushing my father to fall off the wall?!" He wants to take away my Cao family's inheritance, stop him-"

"Er, who are you going to stop?"

Xiahou Yuan, who was about to go out with a gun and a prancing horse, heard this voice, and immediately rode his horse around, Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth slightly, looking at the figure that came in from outside the palace gate, Cao Pi, Xiahou Nan, and Cao Zhen were still young at that time, and they didn't have much impression of these words, Xiahou Nan said: "Who are you!" At that time, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan had already turned over and dismounted from their horses and ran over excitedly.

In the shadows under the city gate, the figure walked into the sunlight, revealing his true face - Cao Ang, the eldest son of the Cao family has returned.

Cao Pi's face turned pale and froze in place.

"Father...... Son, I'm back. Cao Ang stood between the mottled and bloodstained palace roads, looking at the old figure on the city tower. Xiahoudun ran a few steps forward and shouted towards the city tower: "Big brother! Look, Zi Yu is back—"

When the voice fell, his figure began to sway, and Gongsun Zhi hurriedly held him up. Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ang quickly ran towards the city tower, and Xu Chu said, "Wow! The fugitive person was chopped to death, threw the knife in his hand, and rushed upstairs with heavy steps, and in the distance, Liu Xie in front of the Chengguang Palace also ran to the side, shouting: "The prime minister has merit in exterminating the thieves..... prime minister ......."

Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Cao Chun, Cao Hong...... Lots of people were running up the tower.

"Prime Minister—"

"Lord!!"

……

In the sound of many shouts, Cao Cao looked at the group of people rushing over, the smile on his face was even brighter, the golden sunlight seemed to be draped on him, the sleeves of his robe were swaying, and his voice was majestic: "Everyone in the world mistakes me Cao Mengde...... Only, they won't. In a moment, he burst out laughing, resounding again in the palace.

"Everyone in the world mistakes me Cao Mengde...... Only, they won't—"

In the warm sunlight, the old man held Gongsun Zhi's arm and stood there: "....... the rest, I'll leave it to you, Gongsun." In the last voice, the cloudy eyes slowly closed.

......... Although the turtle is long-lived, there is still a time, and the snake rides the fog and finally turns into ashes.......

....... Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles; In the twilight of the martyrs, the heart is strong......

Gongsun Zhi helped him and stood on the tower for a long time, tears flashing in his eyes, and then fell.
