There will be five more today.,Monday to recommend collections.。
This is the first update, the old and the new to pay off!
————————————————————————
It's late at night and it's very windy!
Cao Peng sat in the small tent, quietly pulled out the long knife, found a soft and dry rag, and polished the blade. This Hanhuan knife has not seen blood since it entered his hand. But there was a faint red light on the edge of the knife, which also showed that it had drunk blood.
"Ah Fu, what are you doing?"
Wang Mai returned to the tent and prepared to remove his armor.
He leaned the iron halberd snake spear against the shelf, then removed the hook from his arm and stretched his bones.
Cao Peng raised his head and asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?" ”
"And Wei Tun will be on patrol camp ......"
Deng Ji, as a servant, needs to take on a lot of things.
However, this kind of inspection should not have been done by him. But out of caution, he still patrolled the camp with Wei Yan.
The wind folds the big line, which is unknown.
Whether it is Wei Yan or Deng Ji, they have become extremely cautious because of this reason.
Cao Peng put the knife in the sheath, stood up and walked to Wang Mai's side, "Brother Tiger Head, my right eyelid has been jumping." People often say that the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster, and I am a little worried about what will happen. ”
"Change?"
Wang Mai glanced at Cao Peng in surprise, "What can happen?" ”
"I don't know!"
Cao Peng couldn't say clearly, why did he have such a strong uneasiness? Therefore, he didn't know how to explain it to Wang Mai.
Wang Mai smiled: "Ah Fu, you think too much!" We are still a day's way from Wancheng, and we are very safe here. ”
"This ...... Let's just think I'm cranky. Cao Peng smiled bitterly and walked to the door of the small tent. The wind outside the tent was whistling, and it seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. He frowned, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Brother Hutou, is there anything strange over there Ma Yu?" ”
"Very honest!"
Wang Mai thought for a while, "All day, he barely talked to anyone, and he worked very hard. ”
"Brother Tiger Head, please ask you for one thing. If something happens, you must escort my brother-in-law away. If you can escape, go home immediately. Take my father, my mother and my sister to Tufu Mountain...... Before I left, I asked your father to go to Tufu Mountain for help. There are some old brothers over there, you protect my father and them, go to your father, can you do it? ”
Cao Peng's expression was very solemn, which made Wang Mai unconsciously a little nervous.
"Ah Fu, what the hell is going on? Why are you so suspicious? We're not doing well now, what can go wrong? ”
"You don't care, I just need you to promise me!"
Wang Mai hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded his head to show that he understood.
"What about you?" He asked, a little worried.
Cao Peng smiled, "I will follow General Wei Tun, with his protection, there should be no danger." ”
"Well, my dad told me before he left to listen to you...... But I really don't see what danger we are in now. ”
Wang Mai couldn't help muttering a sentence in his mouth, which made Cao Peng laugh.
There are some things that I don't see as a clue. But be prepared, and be careful that you can't go wrong......
——————————————————————————
"Cao Peng, Wang Mai, quickly gather in the camp."
Just as Wang Mai and Cao Peng were talking, a small colonel suddenly shouted loudly outside the tent.
Cao Peng and Wang Mai didn't take off their armor, so they immediately picked up their weapons and rushed out of the small tent, "This big brother, what happened?" ”
"Wei Dubo, something happened!"
"Huh?"
Cao Peng didn't react at once.
It wasn't until he was pulled up by Wang Mai that he realized that Wei Dubo was Wei Ping.
Wei Ping, what's going on?
Cao Peng and Wang Mai hurried to the center of the camp and saw that Wei Yan had already straddled his horse.
Twenty spearmen, lined up behind him. Seeing Cao Peng and Wang buying it, Wei Yan didn't say a word, and shouted: "Cao Peng, get on the horse immediately." ”
"Whoa!"
"Wang Mai, you stay and follow Deng Jie's follow."
"Whoa!"
Cao Peng hurriedly straddled the horse and glanced at Wei Yan in surprise.
Wei Yan didn't pay attention to him, but said to Deng Ji and Tang Ji who were at the gate of the camp: "Deng Jiecong, old Tang, you two are here to collect the camp and protect the heavy grain and grass." I will go to the mangroves, and until I return, you must not act rashly, and be careful. ”
Deng Ji and Tang Ji hurriedly surrendered!
Cao Peng, who had a muddy head, still didn't understand the situation.
Wei Ping, what's wrong?
"Ah Fu, take the people, set off with me!"
Wei Yan said that, and Cao Peng and Cao Peng rushed out of the humble camp with twenty spearmen.
"Deng Jiecong, what happened?"
Deng Ji's face was solemn, and he said softly: "I just got the news that when Wei Dubo led the scout army to patrol the surroundings, he was ambushed in the mangrove forest......"
"Ambush? Who ambushed? ”
Deng Ji shook his head, "It's not clear, Wei Tun is going to check."
Tiger Head, you follow me and continue to patrol the camp. Tang Ji, you lead people to be optimistic about the heavy grain and grass, and once there is a situation, immediately make a counterattack. ”
Tang Ji said yes and left with the people.
But Deng Ji was worried, because Cao Peng's earlier reminder was still in his ears.
Like Cao Peng, Deng Ji is also worried at the moment......
Wang Mai subconsciously clenched the snake spear, and tightened the hook and shield on his arm. Taking a deep breath, he could only pray to himself, hoping that nothing would happen. It seems that Ah Fu's concerns are not unreasonable. At this time, the situation is really chaotic.
——————————————————————————————
Cao Peng followed Wei Yan and galloped on his prancing horse.
Twenty spearmen ran wildly behind him, following closely behind.
It seems that these Yiyang warriors have been specially trained, and although they are two-legged, they are only not far behind Wei Yan and Cao Peng when they run.
"General Wei Tun, what happened?"
Cao Peng caught up with Wei Yan and asked loudly.
Wei Yan slowed down the horse's speed a little and briefly told Cao Peng what had happened. It turned out that just now, a Yiyang cavalryman ran back covered in blood and told Wei Yan that Wei Ping and others had been ambushed.
The situation of the opponent is not clear, and the ambush appeared very suddenly.
Wei Ping took a few scouts, entangled with each other, and sent scouts back to ask for help.
There is often a huge flaw in crossing the crowd. They may be able to grasp the general trend, but they cannot grasp the subtleties of the details.
Cao Peng also has this problem.
Even if he can say the classic words of ten wins and ten defeats, he has no understanding of the subtleties of what happened in this era. So much so that now, he stumbles like a fly without a head. During the Battle of Wan, could it be that Cao Ying had used soldiers and horses against Liu Biao?
At such times, in this place......
It seems that the only person who is likely to use troops against them is Cao Ying.
However, Cao Ying has just been surrendered to Zhang Xiu, and he has the ability to use troops against Liu Biao at such a time?
Cao Peng, can't be sure.
The mangrove forest is located about thirty miles northwest of the Sunset Campsite. Because there is a maple tree here, when it looks like a red tree from a distance in autumn, it is called a mangrove forest. When Wei Yan rushed to the mangrove forest with Cao Peng and the others, he saw several lonely ownerless war horses from a distance, wandering outside the woods with mournful neighing. Beside them, there were several corpses......
Wei Yan shook his spirit!
Although the distance was still far away, he still recognized at a glance that those horses were Wei Ping and his scout mounts.
Outside the woods with the urge to quickly urge the horse to whip, Wei Yan jumped off the horse, walked two steps quickly, and half-squatted next to a corpse. The corpse, prostrate on the ground, with its back to the sky, the blood beneath it turned the ground into a puddle of red mud.
"Ah Fu, torch!"
Wei Yan roared, Cao Peng hurriedly jumped off the horse, took out a torch from the horse's back bag, lit it with a fire fold, and lit it up all at once. He walked quickly to Wei Yan's side, and before he could speak, Wei Yan snatched the torch from his hand, lowered his head and flipped over the corpse, carefully identifying it.
It's your own scout!
His eyes widened and his expression was very strange.
Wei Yan may not see anything, but Cao Peng, who was a criminal policeman in his previous life, can also see the strangeness.
The expression of the deceased was clearly an incredible expression, as if it was dead, and it was still impossible to believe it. And the wound on his body is also very obvious, it is a gunshot wound, right in the choking throat. In the blood hole the size of the baby's fist, blood was still flowing......
Cao Peng glanced around twice and found that there were obvious traces of the struggle left around.
However, the scars on the corpses vary. There were three bodies, apparently in the middle of a struggle, hacked to death with knives; The other scout was killed from behind. The wound was the same as that of the previous deceased, a fatal wound, and it was an iron stool.
"Ah Fu, did you find Wen Bo's body?"
Just as Cao Peng was observing these corpses, he heard Wei Yan shouting loudly behind him.
The spearmen, already in front of the mangroves, were out of breath and somewhat disorganized in formation. Cao Peng turned around, but suddenly, there was a hairy fear. That sense of fear is like a black finger that is not visible, a snake crawls in, a deep hearing is heard, and a beast is close to it......
"Brother Wei, be careful!"
Cao Peng shouted loudly, and his body fell forward.
That is, at the moment when he leaned his body, in the mangrove forest behind him, a series of bowstring sounds suddenly sounded. Dozens of sharp arrows burst through the air and let out a sharp roar, dotted with stars, and flew in. Cao Peng fell to the ground with a pop, and the arrow grazed his back and swept by!
