Chapter Eighty-Five: The Wind Rises
"Third son, look there!" Cao Zhi's entourage pointed to the grass in front of him, and as he looked at the entourage's hand, he saw a sika deer eating the grass leisurely in the grass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and a brocade robe is the talented Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian. Cao Zhi pulled the reins of the horse and told the guards to back off so as not to alarm the sika deer. Cao Zhi bent his bow and took the arrow, and with a swish, the arrow went straight to the sika deer.
The sika deer, which was grazing, suddenly became alert and jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding Cao Zhi's feather arrows. Since he was a child, Cao Zhi followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north, and his martial arts were not bad, but he didn't shoot the sika deer.
Cao Zhi stepped forward immediately, and the bow was an arrow, which was very sharp, but the sika deer seemed to have expected it, and it was much easier. Cao Zhi's competitiveness was hooked up by the sika deer, the sika deer ran in front, and Cao Zhi chased after him on horseback, and he didn't hit several arrows in a row. Cao Zhi's guards also hurriedly followed, and they had already distanced themselves from Cao Zhi.
The sika deer are very agile and run faster and faster. The horsewhip in Cao Zhi's hand crackled, and he only cared about chasing the sika deer, but he didn't notice that the surrounding vegetation was more lush than other places, and there was even fog rising.
"Childe, should we follow along?" A young man with a scarred face facing forward said that this person was Cao Pi, who had come to hunt Cao Zhi.
"Do you think there aren't enough people around the third brother?" Cao Pi said without yin or yang, his eyebrows slightly provoked.
Scarface is Cao Pi's chief guard Cao Xi, and after listening to Cao Pi's words, Cao Xi obediently retreated to the team behind Cao Pi. Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhi's back, with a weird smile on his face, "The trees are tall and dense, take care of your life." ”
After walking for a while, the fog around him became thicker and thicker, and the weeds were more than one person tall, so Cao Zhi was a little flustered. After a few turns, Cao Zhi found himself lost. And at this moment, Cao Zhi's guards are also anxiously looking for Cao Zhi, if Cao Zhi has any mistakes, they will not survive.
"Why did you come back again?" Cao Zhi looked at the big tree in front of him and was very anxious.
A shrill whistle sounded, and Cao Zhi felt a bad feeling in his heart. Ten black-clothed men descended from the sky, and Cao Zhi quickly drew a sword from his waist to block it in front of him, just in case of an emergency. The man in black surrounded Cao Zhi in the middle, and Cao Zhi's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Although he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, Cao Zhi's martial arts are not good enough to be able to defeat ten with one.
The man in black took the lead in attacking, without too many fancy moves, and went straight to Cao Zhi's fatal place. Cao Zhi used his sword to block a few moves, he has neglected to practice in the past few years, and his martial arts are also commonplace, deep wounds have been drawn on his back and shoulders, and blood has stained his brocade robe red.
Cao Zhi rolled over and dismounted, dodging the steel knife that slashed at his neck. Because of excessive blood loss, Cao Zhi leaned against a big tree and gasped, his face was very pale. Cao Zhi had already given up at this time, his hands were like lead, and he couldn't lift his weapon, and his eyes were closed and he was ready to die. Only two swishing sounds were heard, and two feather arrows pierced through the two black-clothed men, and Cao Zhi's guards appeared at the most critical moment.
The leader of the men in black shouted, "The wind is howling!" The remaining black-clothed man left Cao Zhi and quickly left, disappearing into the fog. Cao Zhi's chief guard hurriedly stepped forward to check Cao Zhi's injuries, and Cao Zhi's hair crown was also knocked off, at this time Cao Zhi was very embarrassed, and he no longer had the graceful demeanor he had before.
Cao Zhi's guards escorted Cao Zhi out of the woods, and along the way, the guards surrounded Cao Zhi in the middle to prevent the man in black from returning. After walking for a while, Cao Zhi's team met Cao Pi, and Cao Pi rode very leisurely.
Seeing Cao Zhi's unkempt hair, brocade robe stained red with blood, and his face turned pale, but it was fine. Cao Pi flashed a hint of gloom, then was replaced by an anxious expression. Cao Pi hurriedly dismounted, ran towards Cao Pi, and helped Cao Zhi, his nervous voice trembled a little, "How is my third brother?" ”
A medical officer arched his hand and said, "Back to the second son, the third son's injury is fine." ”
Cao Pi nodded and shouted at Cao Xi, "Go after the assassin immediately, and you must not let go of a suspicious person." ”
Cao Xi took the order to go, and the pale-faced Cao Zhi drooped his head, turned his head slightly, and looked at Cao Pi, who was very anxious, with fierce and painful eyes. At this time, the wind blew the leaves rattling, and a few yellow leaves flew with the wind, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi looked up at the canopy swaying with the wind at the same time, thinking in their hearts.
At night, Cao Cao returned to his residence from Cao Zhi's residence, and when he heard that Cao Zhi had been assassinated, Cao Cao rushed to see Cao Zhi. Walking on the long street on horseback, the wind blew the flags, Xu Chu slowed down and motioned for the tiger guard to move closer to Cao Cao. As soon as the whistle sounded, many black-clothed people followed the rope and fell from the sky, aiming directly at Cao Cao.
Xu Chu held the big knife in his hand and leaned against Cao Cao. The Tiger Guard rushed forward and tangled with the man in black. Cao Cao sat on the horse, without any expression, his beard fluttering with the wind, and looked coldly at the situation in the field. A tiger guard pulled out the ring head knife inserted in the black-clothed man's mansion with force, bringing out a lot of yellow and white things. Two men in black pierced a tiger guard one after the other. After a long struggle, people on both sides kept falling, and the scene was very bloody.
Cao Cao's lips opened slightly, "Xu Chu!" ”
Xu Chu waved his hand, and an arrow rose into the air, and countless crossbowmen appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the long street. The man in black looked at the crossbowmen on both sides in a panic, and finally chose to rush towards Cao Cao. There was a buzz, the tiger guard held a shield to protect Cao Cao, and countless crossbow arrows poured towards the man in black, and the sound of popping into the flesh was endless, and the man in black was hit by the arrow to the end, and he died without even struggling.
There were also a few men in black who hid in the streets on both sides with their nimble skills, and luckily escaped the rain of arrows and survived. Xu Chu put down the shield in his hand and shouted, "Catch it alive!" ”
Little by little, the Tiger Guards approached the man in black, and the man in black who fell to the ground was trampled and creaked. At this time, from the other side of the long street, Cao Pi arrived with people, "Protect the prime minister, kill me!" Cao Pi's soldiers rushed forward, several black-clothed people were stabbed to death, and a glimmer of light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.
"The child is too late to be rescued, and I hope that my father will forgive." Cao Pi's face was splashed with a lot of blood, but he still knelt beside Cao Cao very respectfully, not caring to wipe the blood on his face.
"Get up, it's okay to be alone." Cao Cao raised his hand and motioned for Cao Pi to get up.
"Remember, don't be in such a hurry next time." Cao Cao rode a horse and passed by Cao Pi, and Cao Cao turned slightly sideways and said to Cao Pi.
Cao Cao's words shocked Cao Pi into a cold sweat, looking at Cao Cao's background, secretly thinking in his heart, how much do you know.
