Chapter 174: The New World
Cao Ming was in front, Sun Ce followed, and the two unknowingly came to the deepest part of the forest.
"Wait a minute, I'll check the neighborhood." Sun Ce suddenly felt that something was wrong, the surroundings seemed to be a little too quiet, and there was not even the sound of birds.
Cao Ming took advantage of Sun Ce's observation elsewhere to apply the medicine to the arrow, and now that the other party was turning his back to him, it was a good opportunity to start.
Sun Ce didn't realize that there was an arrow aimed at him in his back, and he could be sentenced to death at any time.
The bushes moved slightly, and some animal hair was exposed, Cao Ming looked at it and couldn't help but gasp.
It turned out to be a tiger crawling in the bushes, and it seemed that it wanted to take Sun Ce as a prey.
"Roar!" Seeing that the time was ripe, the tiger kicked his hind legs violently, like a boulder smashed into Sun Ce.
"Be careful!" Cao Ming's arrow shot out with the tiger's movements, piercing its eyes with incomparable precision, and blood was immediately sprinkled all over the ground.
Frightened, the horse threw Sun Ce to the ground and fled for his life into the forest alone.
The tiger roared a few times, and its steps began to weaken, as if a man was drunk, and it was not long before he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Cao Ming knew that the medicine was starting to take effect, it seemed that Hua Tuo was not deceiving, and this medicine could even knock down a tiger.
Sun Ce was slapped in the chest by a tiger's claw, fell to the ground unconscious, and the flesh at the wound turned outward, which made people really worried.
"Drive!" Cao Ming tied Sun Ce to the horse and drove the horse forward quickly, she was afraid that it would be irretrievable if it was too late.
Three days later, Sun Ce woke up from his coma, and the maids who guarded him were the maids, the tired Sun Quan, and the doctors in the house.
Seeing that Sun Ce wanted to sit up, the doctor hurriedly persuaded him: "Please don't move, general, you need to recuperate now, and you can only get out of bed after a month." ”
"Where's the Queen?" Sun Ce remembered that he was with Cao Ming at that time, and then he lost consciousness with a pain in his chest.
Sun Quan recalled and said: "The queen left early, and she said that she would see her again, but I didn't quite understand what she meant." ”
Sun Ce understood immediately: "She actually doesn't want to see me, after so many years, she hasn't changed much, but I am no longer the person she expected." ”
Sun Ce knew that he had changed too much over the years, and the shadow of the past had long since ceased to exist.
Sun Quan continued: "General Zhou sent a letter to ask you, do we still want Yuan Shu's territory?" ”
Sun Ce sighed and said: "Give Cao Cao all the territory on the other side of the river, I am now injured, and I can't fight with him." ”
The war didn't start, and the people benefited the most, and Sun Ce also understood this truth, so he gave such an order, all for the sake of the Sun family.
In the private room of the Jingzhou City Inn, Cao Ming was looking at the letter in his hand, not to mention how happy he was.
"My father agreed that I would leave the Cao family." After Cao Ming finished reading it, she handed the letter to Yan Ying.
Yan Ying took it, swept a few glances and said: "Niangniang, Cao Gong said in the letter that the emperor wants to abolish you and ask you to hand over the seal letter, which is obviously not taking you seriously, we have to go back quickly." ”
Cao Ming tore the letter to shreds, and said nonchalantly: "I won't go back, anyway, it doesn't matter if this queen is wrong, but the letter can't be returned to him, maybe it will become a relic of the previous dynasty in a few decades." ”
It is a matter of time before the Cao family represents Han, and as for whether Sima Yi usurps the throne or not, it has nothing to do with her as a woman.
Yan Ying didn't understand the meaning of Cao Ming's words, so she only said inexplicable things again when the other party said them, anyway, it was not the first time.
Yan Ying said puzzled: "But the new queen actually wants to choose Fushou, where is that woman." ”
Cao Ming shook her head and said: "She has a strong wrist, she just didn't give birth at the right time, and she will lose her life sooner or later." ”
Cao Ming knew Cao Cao very well, so he would not give up his important position, and he must have planned to get rid of Fu Shou.
At this time, the shopkeeper knocked on the door: "Guest officer, a Taoist priest asked me to hand you a bamboo slip!" ”
Cao Ming opened the door and said suspiciously: "I don't know any Taoist priests, could it be the wrong delivery?" ”
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "That Taoist priest is a woman, very handsome, and said that she is your old friend." ”
"Thank you, little brother, I accepted it!" The first thing Cao Ming thought of was Diao Chan, and there was no one else except her as a monk.
Yan Ying was confused when she heard it, could it be that Cao Ming still knew the Taoist priest, and she obviously couldn't beat it with eight poles.
After Cao Ming took the bamboo slip, he was greeted by five big characters 'Zhenwu and Xuanwu'.
"What do you mean?" Yan Ying felt that this was a guessing puzzle, and there was no substantive content in the bamboo slips at all.
Cao Ming guessed: "Zhenwu and Xuanwu should be a choice, as for what they represent, I don't know." ”
Xiao Er retreated to the door and said respectfully: "That Taoist priest asked Xiao to pass the word, if the girl chooses, go to the Taoist temple outside the city to find her." ”
Cao Ming understood a little when she heard this, Diao Chan must have joined an unknown sect, and then let herself choose whether to help her or not.
Yan Ying saw Cao Ming in a daze, and said anxiously: "Niangniang, why don't you say a word, what happened?" ”
Cao Ming didn't have time to explain, so he hurriedly ordered: "I'm going to the outskirts of the city, if Ling'er comes to the inn to find me, you can deal with it first." ”
The Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city is easy to find, but due to disrepair, half of it has already collapsed.
Before Cao Ming could walk in, there was a sudden sound of fighting and a muffled sound like thunder.
"Sister Diao Chan!" Cao Ming suspected that she was mistaken, and a beautiful woman who was originally weak was able to fight a man in black with her bare hands.
"It turns out that there are helpers, and it seems that the winner will be determined another day." The man in black saw that Cao Ming was not good, so he exerted his strength at the moment, climbed out of the broken wall, and disappeared.
"Ming'er, long time no see." Diao Chan was dressed in a Taoist robe, and there was a hint of blush on his face.
Cao Ming was confused and said, "Sister Diao Chan, can you explain, what the hell is going on?" ”
Cao Ming is not blind, those moves just now are obviously like internal strength, is there really a martial arts person in this world, or is it the butterfly effect brought by his own crossing.
Diao Chan smiled and said, "Ming'er, you have always lived in the palace, of course you don't know the affairs of the world. ”
"Don't tell me you're joining a cult." Cao Ming looked Diao Chan up and down, and found that the other party had changed a lot, and was even more beautiful than before.
Diao Chan explained: "When Zhang Jiao's uprising failed, he gave the book of heaven to his disciples, among which there was a cultivation method of Xuanqi, but this cultivation method was not tolerated by martial arts people, so it was necessary to distinguish traditional martial arts from it, calling Xuanqi martial artists Xuanwu, and traditional martial artists true martial arts. ”
"Martial arts people, rivers and lakes!" After listening to Diao Chan's words, Cao Ming felt that the door of the new world was opening to her, and she would start from scratch.
