Chapter 140: Shine in the Night
Xiapi, the city has three folds.
Among them, the circumference of the big city is twelve and a half miles, and it is also the largest city in the Jianghuai region.
When I came to Xiapi, I had to talk about Luo Dafu. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xuzhou and Xiapi were divided into two, so that Cao Peng initially thought that there was really a city named Xuzhou under Xuzhou, which was located next to Xiapi. You don't see it, Liu Bei guards Xuzhou, and the passage of Guan Gong stationed in Xiapi often appears. At that time, Cao Peng was still a little confused: Liu Bei didn't leave his wife and children by his side, why did he throw them in Xiapi? Now he understands that Luo Da's geographical knowledge does not seem to be particularly accurate...... Cao Peng entered Xiapi City from the south gate.
Riding on the horse, he still looked around with some curiosity, trying to find the legendary White Gate Tower.
However, the gray-black city wall disappointed him in the end!
It was a cold winter, and the temperature was low.
However, due to Lu Bu's triumphant return, officials from Xiapi Guangling and other places, either in person or sent people to congratulate him.
Cao Peng's group didn't make much effort, and entered Xiapi City.
It's just that after entering the city, Cao Peng was also a little overwhelmed.
Xiapi County, as the seat of Xuzhou governance, is also the seat of Xiapi governance, the capital of Xiapi State, and its scale is so large that it is even more prosperous than Xudu.
Spacious streets, lined with shops and merchants.
Cao Peng was stunned!
He didn't know what to do next.
It was also the negligence of Puyang Min and Bu Qi, both of whom thought that Cao Peng should understand the rules here.
"Second brother, where are we going first?"
Xu Yi also had dark eyes, looked at the bustling streets, and replied for a long time: "Why don't we go to dinner first?" ”
It was almost noon, Cao Peng and the others rushed all the way, and they were also a little hungry.
After thinking about it, I think Xu Yi's suggestion is good. So the group drove to the city, looking at both sides as they went.
"Cars ahead, stop!"
After turning the street, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me.
Cao Peng reined in his horse and turned his head to look behind him, but saw a group of cavalry showing off their might and rushing over.
The cavalry was about thirty or forty men, led by three cavalry generals. Just one of them, jumping off the horse is about 180 tall, with some Hu blood; On either side of him, one was tall and thin, the other was slightly chunky. Among them, the thin and tall one, Cao Peng felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. The three men rushed over with a cavalry and stopped Cao Peng's carriage and horses on their way.
"Wait, who?"
The rider in the center shouted.
Between the words, it was very impolite, as if the superior was scolding his subordinates.
Xu Yi was furious when he heard this, and he was about to step forward to quarrel.
Cao Peng frowned, grabbed Xu Yi, looked the other party up and down, and then replied Wen Yan: "Xiaguan Haixi County soldier Cao, heard that General Zuo was victorious, so he came to congratulate." The three generals don't know what's going on? What is it that is holding us back? ”
He could see that the identities of these three people should be unusual.
If it was in Haixi, Cao Peng would not be afraid.
However, this is Xiapi City, not his territory. Cao Peng didn't want to provoke right and wrong in Xiapi, so he was very polite in his words.
"Hercy?"
The rider in the middle looked dazed and turned his head to ask the people around him.
"Haixi is under the rule of Guangling, but there has been no official appointment for a long time...... Oh, I remember, it seems that there was an edict appointing a guy surnamed Deng as the Haixi Order. The short and fat man showed contempt and looked Cao Peng and the others up and down, "People often say that Cao Gong is good, and in my opinion, it is nothing more than that." Is there no one around him? A group of dolls were sent to the post. ”
"Haixi Ling has such a big shelf, and he actually sent a little doll over."
The rider in the middle sneered, and seemed to ignore Cao Peng and the others at all.
The tall and thin man suddenly said, "Why does Ziliang need to talk so much with such people? Hurry up and get down to business, we still have things to do. ”
Ziliang is the rider in the middle.
He nodded, and said Sen Ran: "Little doll, a certain family is riding under the tent of Marquis Wen, and Hou Cheng, who is now recruiting Bier and other mounts, dismount immediately." ”
Cao Peng only understood at this time that these people had taken a fancy to their mounts.
His Zhaoye Bai, Xu Yi's black dragon, and the pawned mount are not idle war horses. Needless to say, the white and black dragons in the night, the dragon and horse in the Western Regions are hard to find; Even if it is full of horses, it is extraordinary, it is a serious Dawan good horse.
Xu Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded: "You wait for a dog thief, and you dare to rob a horse?" ”
"Bastard, General Ben wants your horse to give you face. Hurry down, or don't blame me for being unkind to you. ”
Slow, slow!
Hou Cheng...... One of Lu Bu's eight strong generals.
Cao Peng finally remembered what the origin of this Hou Cheng was.
The tall and thin man just now called him Ziliang, but Cao Peng hadn't paid attention to it.
But when it came to the name Hou Cheng, Cao Peng reacted. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems to be this guy, and in the end, Lu Bu turned against him...... Hou Cheng had just returned to Xiapi, and before his ass was hot, he was ordered to go out to do errands, and he felt a little unhappy.
So he called his friends Song Xian and Wei Xu and prepared to go together. Before he could get out of the city, he happened to see Cao Peng and his party passing by. Hou Cheng is a cavalry lieutenant under Lu Bu, and his surname is a good horse. So he could see at a glance that the mounts of Cao Peng's three were extraordinary.
Originally, he thought it was a child of a family.
However, Wei Xu felt that Cao Peng was a little familiar...... Earlier, he and Chen Deng went to Xudu to meet Cao Ying, wanting to ask for the post of Xuzhou pastor for Lu Bu. On Yuxiu Tower, he once met Cao Peng and Cao Zhen, and even almost caused a conflict. At that time, it was Chen Deng who stopped him, so he didn't get into trouble. However, Wei Xu remembered Cao Peng's appearance. Especially later, Lu Bu begged Xuzhou to be a pastor, but instead fulfilled Chen Deng's position as a Guangling Taishou. After returning to Xiapi, Wei Xu was scolded by Lu Bu. Seeing Cao Peng, Wei Xu immediately felt a resentment.
Of course, Wei Xu would not tell Hou Cheng about Cao Peng's identity.
Just encouraged him to go and intercept it.
Hou Cheng is also a sidewalk, and when he heard that Cao Peng was just a Haixi soldier, he didn't care about it anymore.
The dispute between the two sides immediately aroused the attention of the people around them. From the window of a restaurant on the corner of the street, a handsome face peeked out.
A young general poked out and frowned, "Why are you so noisy?" ”
Next to him was a girl who was about ten years old and looked like a maid. She glanced downstairs and said softly, "Little ...... General, it seems that General Hou is bullying people. ”
She was glared at by the young general's apricot eyes, and immediately changed her name.
The young general Yao twisted his nose, "Hou Cheng, they are really too much...... No, I'm going to teach them a lesson. ”
"Little ...... General, don't get into trouble.
Don't forget, you snuck out. If the ladies know that you came out without permission, you don't want to come out again in the future. ”
"Sister Qi'er!"
The young general showed a coquettish appearance.
The little girl's face collapsed, and she shook her head and said, "I don't care about these things." The little lady just wants me to take care of you, and I don't care about other things. ”
"You ......," the young general paused, "then I'll go down." ”
"If you go down, don't let me go out with you in the future."
The little girl's tone was not polite at all.
The young general bit his red lip lightly, and looked at the little girl angrily, but he seemed to have nothing to do with her.
At this time, there was another accident downstairs.
Hou Chengheng, but Xu Yi and Dianman, which one is not horizontal?
Xu Yi scolded, causing a lot of discussion around.
Hou Cheng was immediately annoyed and angry...... In Xiapi, Hou Cheng was scolded by only one person, and that was Lu Bu.
I thought that I could easily take down those three horses, but I didn't expect that the few little guys on the other side would be so ignorant!
What Hou Ye wants from you is to give you face.
Since you want to find death, then don't blame Hou Ye for being unkind and bullying the small.
"Little doll, rampant...... Come on, come on, today the Hou Ye will teach you a good lesson on behalf of your family. ”
As he spoke, Hou Cheng picked up a spear and rushed out on a prancing horse.
Cao Peng wanted to stop it, but before he could act, Xu Yi rushed over.
A nine-foot knife in his hand weighed more than 40 catties. His knife is different from ordinary broadswords, the handle is about two feet long, the blade is seven feet, and it is wider and thicker than ordinary broadswords...... The knife lines on the knife edge are shining, the knife is shining, and the cold is pressing.
Xu Yi held the knife in both hands, and the reins hung on his arms.
The black dragon seemed to feel the master's fighting spirit, and suddenly the excited Xi Yu hissed and rushed out.
Seeing Xu Yi holding the knife with both hands, Hou Cheng was happy!
In this cavalry battle, how can you hold a sword with both hands? If you hold a knife with both hands, how to control the horse, how to hold on to the strength, how to sit firmly.
He roared, and the spear stabbed in distraction.
I didn't know that Xu Yi didn't dodge, and the wheel knife was cut.
I only heard a loud bang of the bell, swords and spears struck, and Xu Yi did not move at all on the horse.
However, Hou Cheng felt a huge force surging from the knife, almost letting his spear go.
This doll has a lot of strength! Hou Cheng's face was flushed, and his heart was even angrier. If he just wanted to teach Xu Yi a lesson just now, then now, the murderous intent in his heart has been born. Turning the horse's head, the spear flew over, and the shadow of the spear was longing. But Xu Yi is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and seeing Hou Cheng killing, he is more excited in his heart. As soon as his feet knocked on the horse's belly, Xu Yi roared with a tiger roar, and the wheel knife was on.
The big knife turned into a heavy knife cloud and fought with Hou Cheng in one place.
Speaking of which, Hou Cheng is also a second-rate general.
Although Xu Yi is younger than him, when it comes to talent, he is much stronger than Hou Cheng.
In addition, he has entered the level of Yi Jin, and his strength has become stronger and stronger as his skills have deepened. A big knife is opened, as if there is a bit of Xu Chu's posture. The tiger roared again and again, and Hou Cheng fought together, swords and guns exchanged with each other, and for a while they were evenly matched...... Wei Xu also thought at the beginning that with Hou Cheng's ability, Cao Peng and others would be captured.
didn't know that in this fight, he found that Hou Cheng couldn't take Xu Yi. There were more and more onlookers on the street, and they pointed at Wei Xu and the three of them.
Wei Xu's face was a little unbearable!
Hou Ziliang, Hou Ziliang, you are still known as the Eight Warriors, and you can't even clean up a little doll.
He gritted his teeth, took off his big knife, and rushed out on his horse, "Ziliang, I'm here to help you!" ”
On the long street, there was an uproar.
And the young general who watched the battle in the restaurant paused again and again, "Uncle Wei is so shameless, it's just a matter of bullying the small with the big, but bullying the little with the more." ”
The little maid next to him glanced at him, but didn't say anything.
When Dian Man saw Wei Xu coming up, how could he stand by and stand aside?
Don't look at him and Xu Yi arguing every day, but when he encounters something, he doesn't hesitate at all.
"Dog thief, do you want to bully less with more? Your master is here. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out his halberd and urged the horse to stop Wei Xu.
The twin iron halberds crossed, dodging Wei Xu's broadsword. The iron halberd in one hand suddenly took off his hand, and the small halberds of the two iron halberds interlocked, and they smashed out when he shouted. was so frightened that Wei Xu screamed, and hurriedly lay down on the horse, which could be dodged. After the second horse made a mistake, Dianman had already withdrawn the iron halberd, and grinned, "Dog thief, come on, let your master see how many catties and taels ......you have."
The twin halberds were swinged, and the horses were urged.
Wei Xu could only cheer up twelve points of spirit at this time, and stood with Dian Man.
Song Xian was only dumbfounded.
Wei Xu and Hou Cheng's martial arts are not bad, but they were actually stopped by two little dolls, and they are not up or down?
As soon as he rolled his eyes, he saw Cao Peng. Compared with Dian Man and Xu Yi, who are tall and big, five big and three thick, Cao Peng looks very thin.
Let's take this kid down first!
Song Xian thought of this, and the prancing horse twisted the gun and rushed out.
Cao Peng held the reins in one hand and the hilt of the knife in the other, and was watching the battle.
Suddenly, I heard a coquettish voice from upstairs: "Hey, be careful!" ”
Cao Peng turned his head to look, and saw Song Xian opening his teeth and claws, coming towards him. Cao Peng frowned, and he also knew what happened today, so I am afraid that he will not be able to be good.
What about the Eight Athletes?
Lao Tzu is still Xiao Bayi...... He didn't care to look at the restaurant, so he urged the horse to meet Song Xian and rushed over.
The feet are buckled in the stirrups, and the body sinks slightly, in the shape of a bow, and is attached to the horse's back. One hand holds the reins and the other rests on the hilt.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Song Xian, he was getting closer and closer...... Cao Peng didn't pull it out for a long time.
The young general in the restaurant, his little hand clenched into a fist, stood up involuntarily, leaned against the window, bit his lips, and kept muttering: "Why don't you pull out the knife, why don't you pull out the knife......"
At this moment, Cao Peng and Song Xian were about to take their heads.
Song Xianxin said: Isn't this kid stupid? Hehe, it's okay, give me a good horse for nothing.
He thought in his heart, as soon as the spear in his hand was twisted, and with a roar, he was about to stab Cao Peng to death on the horse. But just when he shouted out that loud roar, Zhao Yebai suddenly accelerated, and rushed out of the distance of a horse's head. Don't underestimate the distance between this one horse's head, on the battlefield, it can often determine the life and death of both sides. The acceleration of the night not only made Song Xian's mount chaotic, but even the rhythm of his shooting was interrupted all at once. Just when Song Xian was stunned, Cao Peng stood up on the horse.
The big knife was pulled out as fast as lightning.
Cao Peng's big knife is quite strange.
He is not like Xu Yi's wide-open knife posture, nor is he different from that kind of light and agile knife technique. The distance he slashed was not very long, it was large, but the speed of the knife was very fast and very sharp. At a time when many people make a single cut, he can often make a dozen cuts.
Dingdingding...... The sound of the knife hitting the barrel of the gun was like rain hitting plantains.
It seems to be crisp, and it doesn't use much force.
But when Cao Peng and Song Xian crossed by and turned the horse's head, people unexpectedly found that Song Xian's face was red...... It wasn't a normal red, but an almost pathological red.
Song Xian felt that Cao Peng's knife contained countless strange powers.
or straight, or criss-crossed, fast, slow, or weak, and it seems to weigh more than a thousand pounds. He struggled to hold his mount so hard that he almost lost feeling in his arms. Raised his head and looked at Cao Peng. Cao Peng didn't seem to have changed much from just now, but his face was slightly pale.
This kid, it's weird!
But in this case, Song Xian had no way out.
On the other two sides, Xu Yi and Hou Cheng fought inextricably; Dian Man and Wei Xu fought and killed, but they faintly gained the upper hand, pressed Wei Xu to fight, and Wei Xu was already a little unable to parry.
"Bastard, are you all watching the fun? Don't give it to me yet! ”
Song Xian yelled, but what he roared was the entourage behind Hou Cheng.
The entourage woke up like a dream, and rushed to Cao Peng with a roar. However, without waiting for Cao Peng to make a move, Dian Man and Xu Yi's servants couldn't bear it anymore, and the hula poured out together, stopping Hou Cheng's servants at once. The two sides fought against each other, and the generals fought in one place, and for a while, the long street became chaotic. People shouting horses neighing, weapons calling fame mixed together, and chaos became a mess.
In the restaurant, the young general was very excited, and kept waving his little fists.
"Hit, hit, hit......"
I can't wait to be a part of it. But he also knew that it was unlikely, because the little maid was watching him warily...... When Cao Peng saw this situation, he also knew that it was very good today.
Since it's hit, let's fight!
"Why did this general stop?
I benefited a lot from the fight just now, so why don't you let me learn your tricks again. ”
Cao Peng saw Song Xian's thoughts, this guy wanted to disrupt the war. Disrupt the war, disrupt the war, anyway, I just have to stare at you.
The two groups of people fought in the middle, and Cao Peng and Song Xian were on both sides of the two groups.
The two looked at each other, and at the same time the prancing horse flew out and broke into the crowd. A Hou Cheng's servant stopped Cao Peng, trying to grab him by the leg and pull him off the horse. How do you know that Cao Peng turned to the side slightly, raised his foot, and kicked in the face of the servant.
The stirrup was fastened on his foot, and all of a sudden, the other party who kicked it was covered in blood.
Zhao Yebai seemed to be crazy, kicked and kicked in the crowd, and arrived in front of Song Xian in the blink of an eye.
Cao Peng slashed with a knife, and Song Xian raised his gun to meet him. The two men exchanged knives and guns on the horse, and they fought more than a dozen rounds in the blink of an eye. In terms of skill, Cao Peng is not as profound as Song Xian. But the dark energy condensed on his knife made Song Xian extremely painful, and he couldn't stop crying...... "Stop, stop it all!" ”
At this moment, the end of the long street was full of people.
A team of iron horsemen galloped from a distance.
In the middle, a general. The red rabbit hissing wind beast under the crotch, and the halberd painted in the palm of the hand. Tied around the waist with a hundred flowers robe, covered with Tang Yi treasure armor, wearing a bright red cloak, two fiery red chicken feathers soared into the sky, like a flame, and rushed to the front first.
"Stop it!"
The flames rolled in, and a thunderous roar exploded over the long street......
