Chapter 148: Don't be a decent gentleman
Liu Shuang led Cao Shuo and the others and rode a horse for one or two hundred steps.
Pointing to the place where there were many people in front, Liu Shuang said, "It's in front." ”
Cao Shuo didn't say a word, and shook the reins.
The steed sped up.
When he came to him, the Cao army surrounding the bandit leader scattered one after another.
The bandit leader held his sword and spun in place in a panic, for fear that someone would suddenly attack.
"It's fast." Cao Shuo restrained the horse: "I thought you could outrun the horse." ”
"Let me live." The leader of the bandits said, "I will never oppose your Excellency in the future." ”
"Wouldn't it be better to kill you?" Cao Shuo grinned: "You are alive, and you may regret it at any time." Although it can't cause us any real trouble, it's quite annoying to have flies flying around in our ears. ”
"What do you want?" The bandit leader asked.
"I don't want to do anything." Cao Shuo said: "I just want to do it once and for all." ”
Cao Shuo didn't plan to leave a way for the bandit leader to live, and Chen Wu raised his arm.
The Cao army surrounded raised their swords one after another.
"Give you a chance to fight me." Cao Shuo said: "If you win, I'll let you go." ”
"Good!" There is no way to escape, and the bandit leader is heartbroken.
Cao Shuo jumped off the horse, holding the short sword and shouted to Chen Wu and the others: "Keep your eyes open, watch how this son kills him." ”
With a long sword in hand, the bandit leader trembled all over.
"Come on!" Standing three or four steps away from him, Cao Shuo said defiantly: "Come and kill me." ”
With a desperate roar, the bandit leader rushed forward.
The sharp long sword stabbed into Cao Shuo's chest.
Seeing that he was about to stab him, Cao Shuo turned around to avoid the blade of the sword and hooked the head of the bandit leader.
The hand holding the sword was handed over.
The dagger plunged into the back of the bandit leader's neck.
"See?" Letting go of the slain bandit leader, Cao Shuo said to everyone: "With a short sword, it is not for you to fight and block, but for you to win with one move." ”
Cao Shuo's movements were too fast.
Cao Jun who was present was stunned.
only knew that Cao Shuo had many methods, and he could always turn danger into a disaster, but they never thought that the second son of the Cao family had a much more neat killing method than them.
"Childe, what should he do?" After being stunned for a while, Chen Wu came back to his senses and asked.
"Buried." Glancing at the corpse, Cao Shuo said, "And the ones we killed earlier are all buried. ”
Half an hour later.
Cao Jun and Yuan Jun, who were escorting the team, were still digging pits to bury their bodies.
Kong Rong said to Cao Shuo, who was standing beside him: "I didn't expect Gongzi to really destroy all the thieves. ”
"All those who came to seek trouble are gone." Cao Shuo said: "Maybe there are others who haven't come." ”
"Childe is precise in his calculations and resolute in his work." Kong Rong said: "I didn't even have a living mouth left, I really admire it!" ”
"Leaving no living mouth is just for convenience." Cao Shuo said: "We still have to hurry, and we have to arrange someone to guard it with the living mouth." There are not enough manpower in the first place, how can there be idlers to see the captives? ”
"That's what Childe said." Kong Rong nodded and said.
"Kong Gong." Cao Shuo said: "I'm a little sleepy, if Kong Gong hasn't felt tired yet, please keep an eye on it for a while and watch them bury the body." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I'm here." Kong Rong said.
In Zhen Mi's tent.
Neither she nor the maid slept.
The maid sat next to the bed, and Zhen Mi was already lying down.
"Miss really plans to marry the second son of the Cao family?" The maid asked in a whisper.
"Otherwise?" Zhen Mi asked, "What is your method?" ”
The maid was silent.
has become meat on the board, what can she think of?
"They're going to Yecheng." Zhen Mi said: "As long as you enter the city, there are always more opportunities than here." ”
"Miss is planning to ......"
"Although Cao Gongzi is a little perverse, he saved us after all." Zhen Mi said: "We can't do anything that provokes discord between the Cao and Yuan families, we have to think of a way." ”
"Mademoiselle really doesn't plan to marry him?" The maid said: "I don't think Gongzi Cao is a good person, in case ......"
"I have a marriage contract with the second son of the Yuan family." Zhen Mi said: "How can you say that you will destroy it......"
As she was talking, she heard footsteps outside and quickly shut her mouth.
Cao Shuo lifted the curtain and came in: "Is Miss asleep?" ”
"I've slept." Zhen Mi asked, "Is there something wrong with the son?" ”
"It's like this outside, and the young lady can fall asleep?" Cao Shuo said: "The heart is quite big. ”
Zhen Mi knew that he said this on purpose.
Of course she couldn't sleep because of the commotion outside, so she was talking to the maid here.
"With Childe here, there's nothing to worry about." Zhen Mi said: "So I slept." ”
"I didn't see that Miss was so good at talking." Cao Shuo said: "None of the thieves who came to make trouble were killed, and Miss can sleep peacefully tonight." ”
"I'm going to sleep, so let's rest early." Zhen Mi said.
"I was going to sleep." Cao Shuo said to the maid, "You go to the tent next door to rest." ”
The maid and Zhen Mi were stunned.
Zhen Mi asked, "What do you mean by Childe?" ”
"I'll sleep with Miss, let her go next door." Cao Shuo said: "Anyway, we are going to get married sooner or later, although we can't do anything, it is only natural to sleep in a quilt." ”
"After all, if you don't get married, how can you ......" Zhen Mi wanted to shirk.
"If it weren't for the inconvenience of Miss for the past two days, do you think it's as simple as just sleeping together?" Cao Shuo said with a wicked smile: "I thought about it just now, if a beauty like Miss is around, if I don't touch it, others will doubt whether I have a functional disorder." ”
"Dysfunction?" Zhen Mi asked, "What's that?" ”
Cao Shuo knew that he said something that people in this era couldn't understand.
Grinning, he said, "It's that others will wonder if I'm a real man!" ”
Knowing what he meant, Zhen Mi's cheeks suddenly flushed and said, "Others will only say that the son is not messy and is a righteous gentleman." ”
"There are several possibilities for not sitting still." Sitting down next to Zhen Mi, Cao Shuo said: "First, I am not interested in this woman. It's a pity that I'm particularly interested in Miss! The second is that men really can't do it! Since it doesn't work, of course, you have to find a reason, and sitting still has become the best cover-up. However, I don't have that flaw. So, I still don't do it as a righteous gentleman. ”
"Childe ......" pulled up the quilt to block his chest, Zhen Mi said nervously: "Can you ......?"
"Can't!" Before she finished speaking, Cao Shuo said: "I have a good face, but I don't want others to say that I am useless." For the sake of my reputation, Miss still obeyed me! ”
Zhen Mi was speechless for a while, she has seen a lot of people who want face, but she has never seen someone like Cao Shuo who wants face.
He doesn't want to be a righteous gentleman, but he cares about those things that others are ashamed to say!
