On the south street of Luoyang City, Yuan Shu was gorgeously dressed and galloped wildly, followed by a hundred guards, all of whom were sent by Yuan Shu's father, Yuan Feng. These guards are all generals of the Yuan family and are loyal to the Yuan family. All the same color of gold armor, wearing a golden helmet, a big red cloak behind him, known as the golden fire cavalry, the Yuan family is wealthy, and the formation of this escort team, whether it is armor or weapons, has invested a lot of blood. These people whizzed through the streets, blinding many people.

"Phew"

Yuan Shu looked at the small wine shop in front of him, stopped his BMW and turned around and asked, "Is this here?" ”

Among the golden fire cavalry behind Yuan Shu, there was one person riding out on horseback, this person was about thirty years old and named Ji Ling, and he was the commander of this guard. This Ji Ling is extremely brave, and his weapon is also very unpopular, it is a three-pointed and two-edged knife.

Ji Ling rode his horse to Yuan Shu's side and said, "Childe, that's right, this is it!" ”

Yuan Shu looked at the flag standing in front of the wine shop

"Taiping Liquor Store?" Yuan Shu whispered behind him and smiled, "Cut it for me"

"No"

The golden fire cavalry behind Yuan Shu suddenly received the order, and stepped towards the wine shop, one of the horses drew a knife in his waist, and cut off the flagpole with a knife, and the flag with the Taiping wine shop fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The location of this wine shop is already remote, and there are not many customers, and the people in the wine store have already heard the movement outside.

Hu Kai, the shopkeeper of the wine store, hurriedly ran out, and as soon as he appeared, a cold and shining weapon was put on his neck, Hu Kai saw the circle of golden cavalry outside the door, his eyes were a little straight, Hu Kai knelt on the ground with a weak leg and shouted, "My lord spare your life"

Yuan Shu rode his horse to Hu Kai, skimmed him and said, "Are you the shopkeeper here?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Hu Kai raised his head and said, "The villain is, I don't know that the villain has provoked the adult, and it is worthy of the adult to be so excited"

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth rose, leaned down and looked down at Hu Kai and said, "This place can be called Taiping Liquor Shop?" ”

Hu Kai nodded like a chicken pecking rice, Yuan Shu smiled even more proudly, he straightened up and said, "That's right" Yuan Shu gave Li Feng next to him a look after speaking, Ji Ling understood, the knife flashed, and a head rolled down into the dust, and Hu Kai died in this way.

Yuan Shu rode his horse and stood on the other side of the street, Ji Ling left ten horsemen to protect Yuan Shu, and the other golden fire cavalry dismounted and entered the wine shop under the leadership of Ji Ling.

The bartenders in the liquor store are also Taoists of Taiping Dao, and all this that happened outside the liquor store was too sudden, and these people were killed by these golden fire cavalry before they could react.

"Commander, there is a secret door here" A golden fire cavalry came to Ji Ling's side and said, Ji Ling looked over, and sure enough, a secret door made a creaking sound, and a secret passage was revealed.

Ji Ling took the lead in entering the dark passage, the dark passage was a little narrow, the candles on both sides of the secret passage were the only lighting here, Ji Ling left the weapon outside, and at this moment he walked forward cautiously with a refining knife in his hand, "Be careful!" Ji Ling said this, and his body flashed against the wall to dodge, but the two golden fire cavalry behind him were not so lucky, these two people each inserted a few crossbow arrows, and struggled to fall to the ground, these crossbow arrows were very powerful, and they directly pierced the armor of these two people.

The lethality of crossbow arrows is very large, the speed is fast, the requirements are simple, it is the favorite of some people in the rivers and lakes, in addition to the slow reloading, other whether it is accuracy, rate of fire, lethality is stronger than the bow and arrow.

Ji Ling didn't have time to sigh at the death of these two subordinates, a burst of breath in the darkness extinguished the candle, and a figure was rapidly approaching him, the two quickly fought several times in the dark, the figure took advantage of the situation and did not fight with Ji Ling but quickly ran towards the secret passage,

"Want to run?" Ji Ling shouted and was about to chase, there was a sound of breaking the air behind him, Ji Ling turned around and raised his knife to jump the attacking crossbow arrows, swishing, several crossbow arrows in a row were dodged by Ji Ling, Ji Ling was furious, taking advantage of the gap to load the crossbow arrows, Ji Ling was no longer in the mood to care about the black shadow that ran out at this time, he leaned over like a tiger, and with a few screams, the people in the secret room were all killed by Ji Ling.

After Ji Ling killed several people in the secret room, he hurriedly withdrew out of the secret passage, and several golden fire cavalry in the wine shop had already died of anger. Ji Ling picked up his weapon and walked out of the wine store quickly.

Yuan Shu was riding on a horse, a little bored, looking left and right, and didn't find anything interesting, at this time there was a fight in the wine shop, and suddenly a burly strong man with a broadsword broke out of the wine shop, the strong man was covered with blood, and the strong man stared at a pair of hungry lake-like eyes and saw Yuan Shu in gorgeous clothes in an instant. The strong man's body rushed towards Yuan Shu like lightning, and several golden fire cavalry quickly rode out, and the strong man instantly cut these golden fire cavalry off the horse with a broadsword. The golden fire cavalry in the wine shop has also come out, seeing this scene, these golden fire cavalry are all heartbroken, what they are afraid of is not the martial arts of this strong man, what they are afraid of is the safety of Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu was a little damaged, they didn't have to live, and these golden fire cavalry rushed towards the strong man one after another. But after all, there is some distance between him and the strong man.

Yuan Shu looked at the ever-growing broadsword in front of him sluggishly at the moment, his pupils unconsciously dilated, at this moment, Yuan Shu felt what fear was, did I die like this?

Yuan Shu was so stunned that he forgot to dodge, so he sat on the horseback in a daze.

"Bang"

There was a sound of metal crashing, and the strong man's figure took a few steps back before stabilizing his figure.

In front of Yuan Shu, a man with a blood-colored long knife appeared, with long dancing hair and a hunting windbreaker, it was Cao Cao's subordinate Xiahou Xuan.

Behind Yuan Shu, there were horses' hooves, and it was Cao Cao who arrived with a large number of armor soldiers, and Cao Cao shouted from afar

"Highway, it's okay"

Yuan Shu touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and waved his hand with a pale face.

One stop and one stop, the strong man has lost the opportunity, the golden fire cavalry behind him has arrived, surrounding the strong man, Cao Cao waved his hand, and a large number of armor soldiers behind him also put out a formation, Ji Ling also came out of the wine shop at this time, blocking the strong man's retreat.

The strong man looked around, only to see a few people standing on the rooftops around him, these people had a heavy breath and looked at him playfully.

The broadsword in the strong man's hand trembled a little, and the strength of the man's sword in front of him just now was so strong, it seemed that he was probably more than lucky.

The strong man raised his hand and pulled out a short knife from his waist and stabbed him in the neck.

"Search"

A man on the roof bent his bow, two feathered arrows broke through the air, and a huge force shot at the two arms of the strong man, twisting the two arms of the strong man into a strange shape, and the strong man screamed in pain.

"Second, you're a little inauthentic, look at what you shot on someone's arm," one person said in a playful tone

The man who bent the bow was called the second talent rolled his eyes and said, "If the eldest brother wants him to live, then he can't die."

A soldier stepped forward to tie up the strong man, and Cao Cao rode his horse to the strong man's side and said, "What's your name?" ”

The strong man said viciously, "Bah, you deserve to know my name for anything."

"Looking for death" The man holding the blood-colored long knife was Cao Cao's brother Xiahoudun, at this moment, Xiahoudun stepped forward and scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu will cut you now!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand to stop Xiahoudun, and then Cao Cao turned around and smiled at the strong man in front of him and said, "I asked you, if you don't say it, it's good, I hope you don't regret it" Cao Cao said to the armor soldiers beside him, "Press into the edict, by the way, tell those prison officials, don't play to death"

"No"

A team of armor soldiers pressed the strong man and left, Yuan Shu also recovered from the fright at this moment, Yuan Shu did not scold his subordinates this time, but just looked at Cao Cao and said to the golden fire cavalry beside him, "Let's go"

was an empty joy, and he almost put his life on the line for the sake of merit, Yuan Shuli ignored Cao Cao and left directly.

Several people standing on the roof also jumped down at this moment, several people stood beside Cao Cao, and one of them said, "Hey, this Yuan Shu, the eldest brother saved him kindly, he didn't even say thank you"

Cao Cao smiled disappreliantly, "He's like this, you didn't know him on the first day, you always have a frame of four worlds and three dukes, and sooner or later you will suffer."

"Big brother is right, it's not that the time has not come"

Several people laughed, and Cao Cao rode his horse in front, followed by his siblings whom he regarded as life-like.

These people are Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun. The five wolves of the Cao family followed behind Cao Cao, talking and laughing all the way.

In January of the first year of Zhongping, the imperial capital Luoyang, the place of the division set off a storm, the Nanying armor soldiers wantonly arrested the Taiping Daoists in Luoyang City, all those related to the Taiping Dao were arrested, the slightest resistance, all killed, thousands of people were arrested, and the crying was full of heaven for a while. And the weight of these people's crimes turned out to be the crime of rebellion.

In the imperial capital Luoyang Imperial Prison, Cao Cao was dressed in a military official robe, standing outside the door of the Imperial Prison, which was the prison of the Han Empire for those who had committed serious crimes, and was under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple. This place is dark and abnormal, there are all kinds of torture tools, and all kinds of strange criminal laws are even more numerous.

At this moment, a crack in the gate of the edict opened, and an official of Dali Temple walked out, this official was about fifty years old, and the secretary of Dali Temple was named Li Yi. Cao Cao stepped forward and saluted, "Master Li, how is it, have you been recruited?" ”

Li Yi lowered his head and was walking forward, when he heard someone shouting at him, he was startled, and when he looked up and saw that it was Cao Cao, Li Yi stroked his chest and said, "Oh, it's Meng De, you scared me to death, I'm so old, I can't stand your startle."

Cao Cao smiled embarrassedly, this Li Yi has a very close relationship with his father, so he also said politely, "Lord Li, aren't I in a hurry?"

Li Yi pointed to the gate of the edict prison and said, "It's recruited, you can go inside and ask for details."

"Okay, thank you" Cao Cao thanked him and hurriedly ran into the prison.

Li Yi looked at Cao Cao's back and shook his head and said, "This rabbit cub is still so hairy."

Cao Cao entered the edict and was led by the jailer to the place of oppression.

"Your Excellency has arrived, this is it," the jailer pointed forward,

Cao Cao looked through the strong man inside the blackiron fence and there was still that arrogant and crazy spirit. All Cao Cao saw at this moment was a helpless poor man, his eyes were full of panic, and there was no good place for this strong man's burly body. Cao Cao sighed and said, "Let's talk about it."

When the strong man heard Cao Cao's words, his body trembled reflexively, and he crawled to Cao Cao's side, "I said, I said"

The strong man opened his mouth and said, "My name is Ma Yuanyi, a generous Taoist master of Taiping Dao, I am here for, for, to organize Taiping Dao action."

"What action?" Cao Cao asked, Ma Yuanyi opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "Assassinate the Son of Heaven."

Cao Cao asked all the things he needed to know clearly, turned around and was about to leave, Ma Yuanyi suddenly stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of Cao Cao's clothes and said, "My lord, please, my lord, can you change the prison for me?"

Cao Cao paused, did not look back, he pulled out the corner of his clothes, took out some silver from his arms and handed it to the jailer, "Buy him some wine and food, and give you the rest to take good care of him for one night"

"This, my lord, how embarrassed am I" The jailer sneered, Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, "He shouldn't be able to see the sun the day after tomorrow, so he should accumulate some yin virtue for himself" Cao Cao finished speaking and left

"Eh" The jailer was holding the silver in his hand, a little dazed, looking at Cao Cao's back and whispering, "What a strange person"
