Chapter 42 The Villa

"On it!" The boss was stunned on the spot, he had opened an inn for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such a big posture.

Shi Chang pointed downstairs and said, "Leave some people to block the back road, and the rest of the people will go up with me to arrest people, remember that Lord Assassin Shi wants to live." ”

"No!" The armor soldiers divided into two teams as ordered, one group quietly touched the second floor, and the other team hurriedly blocked the exit and back door.

Cao Ming was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt that someone had opened the door, could it be that a thief had entered the house.

"Don't move!" A soldier appeared in front of Cao Ming and directly put the knife on her neck, and the cool air emanating from the knife surface made people tremble.

Cao Ming was shocked into a cold sweat: "Big brother has something to discuss, are you robbing money or sex, don't you say that the officers and soldiers are all protecting the people." ”

The armor frowned, and then asked, "Don't talk nonsense to me, are you Cao Ming?" ”

Cao Ming's expression was natural: "My young lady went out to buy something, I am her personal maid, you big brother should go outside to find her." ”

Cao Ming thought that if he didn't admit it, anyway, they didn't have a portrait in their hands, and they didn't dare to arrest people in broad daylight.

The soldiers hesitated when they heard this, and then the chief came in with a painting and said, "Don't be deceived by her, this is the person we are looking for, someone will tie her up." ”

Several armorers tied Cao Ming's hands with ropes, which caused her strong dissatisfaction, and these armorers were too unreasonable.

Cao Ming said angrily: "Why did you arrest me, I didn't violate any national law, that's how you protect the people?" ”

Shi Chang bowed his hand and said, "I'm sorry girl, we are following the orders of Lord Thorn Shi, you better come with us, we won't embarrass you." ”

"And what can I know?" Cao Ming thought to herself, don't be an assassin, she finally ran from Chang'an to Jingzhou, and now she has to be escorted back all the way, isn't this a long time in vain.

"No comment, take away!" Shi Chang ordered someone to escort Cao Ming downstairs, and the guests downstairs all looked at her in surprise, who would have thought that such a big formation would be dispatched just to catch a young girl.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers did not prepare a prisoner's car, but a medium-sized carriage with two horses, which made Cao Ming feel at ease, maybe this assassination saw that he was something else.

Shi Chang kept staring at Cao Ming all the way, and he couldn't even take his eyes off drinking water, staring at her alive.

Cao Ming thought to herself that this guy had seen a woman for the first time, and he didn't blink much all the time, he was alone in this car, not to mention that he was still tied up now, what if this guy was furious.

Cao Ming discussed and said: "Can this eldest brother stop looking at me, although I admit that I am more beautiful, but I will not keep staring at me." ”

Shi Chang's face did not change: "Lord Thorn Shi has explained, saying that you are not an ordinary woman, once you get the opportunity, I will be in danger." ”

Cao Ming looked at Shi Chang with a depressed face, are these ancient people dead-eyed, they are all tied up now, how can they have a chance to resist you.

"By the way, where's my bag?" Cao Ming suddenly remembered her bag, which contained important items, and it would be over if these people lost it.

Shi Chang took out a cloth bag and said, "Your things are now in my custody, and they will not be returned to you until Lord Thorn Shi checks them." ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that this was really the end, this bag contained the phoenix seal of the queen of the Han Dynasty, and if it was discovered by Lord Assassin Shi, it was estimated that he would be convicted, and when the time came, the death penalty would be the end of his life.

After the carriage drove for two hours, it finally came to Jingzhou City, Cao Ming could faintly hear the sound of selling in the car, it seems that the people's governance in Jingzhou is not bad.

"Get out of the car!" Shi Chang's expression seemed to be fixed, Cao Ming was used to this, and the other party might be suffering from an occupational disease.

Cao Ming was slightly stunned after getting out of the car, the scale of this Thorn Mansion is very large, it seems that Jingzhou Thorn Shi will enjoy life.

Cao Ming was escorted all the way to the living room in the mansion, where there was a slightly haggard old man, who was Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and there was a military general sitting next to him.

Shi Chang stepped forward and said, "Report to the lord, Cao Ming has been arrested by me, what do you want to do with her?" ”

"Bold! Are you guilty? Liu Biao slapped the table angrily, as if he wanted to blame the other party, and the military general next to him also held his hand on the knife.

"Get on your knees!" Shi Chang kicked Cao Ming's leg joints hard, causing her to stand unsteadily and fall directly on the blanket in the living room.

Liu Biao was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Shi Chang and said: "You are trying to kill me with your heart, the bold person is talking about you, how can you kick her down, why don't you help me up quickly." ”

"Well, my lord spares my life!" Shi Chang hurriedly helped Cao Ming up, cut the rope on her body, and then stood aside with a nervous expression.

Cao Ming was confused and said: "I don't know what Lord Thorn Shi is looking for me, I am so uncomfortable tied up along the way, I hope my lord can give me an explanation." ”

Liu Biao got up and explained: "Actually, this is the case, I have a holy decree here, you can sit here and watch me." ”

Cao Ming suddenly had doubts, Liu Biao said that it was a holy decree for himself, didn't he just come out of the palace, why didn't the emperor say it in person if he had something.

Cao Ming took the holy decree in disbelief, then sat down in Liu Biao's position and carefully read the contents.

"No, it can't be, your holy decree is fake!" Cao Ming threw away the holy decree with a shake of her hand, the content on it made her feel terrible, and the most worrying thing finally came.

Liu Biao hurriedly picked up the holy decree: "Even if I have the courage to do so, I don't dare to forge the holy decree, not to mention that the girl is a meritorious person, and her background meets the standards of the palace, it is estimated that Brother Meng De will also be happy for you." ”

Cao Ming calmed down and thought about it for a while, it seems that what Zuo Ci said is indeed good, his marriage is indeed coming, since it is fate, he has to admit it, anyway, that guy has a lot of women, even if he doesn't have a round house, it's not a big deal, isn't there another way to stay up for a few years, but now going to Chang'an is tantamount to looking for death, and soon the rebels will start attacking, so he has to find a reason to get out.

Cao Ming handed over the holy decree to Liu Biao and said, "I have taken this holy decree, but the journey back this time is too long, please prepare me a fast horse and a sword." ”

Liu Biao arched his hand and said: "Niangniang is the queen, and Weichen should send heavy troops to protect it, how can she go back alone." ”

Cao Ming refused: "The target of sending heavy troops is even bigger, it is not as safe as me alone, and prepare some gold for me." ”

Liu Biao pointed to the military general and said: "This is my brother-in-law Cai Mao, with him escorting Niangniang all the way, he must protect Niangniang Niangniang." ”

Cao Ming nodded and agreed: "Then there is General Lao Cai, since the matter has been clarified, then we will set off now." ”

Liu Biao ordered his subordinates to prepare fast horses and coils, and at the same time returned the package to Cao Ming, and Cai Mao also brought a sword and prepared to set off.

Cao Ming checked the contents of the package, thinking that the fire phoenix feather she she dreamed of that day was actually the phoenix seal of the queen of the Han Dynasty, and she should have understood this a long time ago.

Liu Biao told Cai Mao a few more words, and then the two rode out of the city, but this road was led by Cao Ming, of course she would not go in the direction of Chang'an.

Cai Mao sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to ask Cao Ming out loud, and didn't stop until the horse couldn't run.

Cai Mao was a little puzzled: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the direction we are going is a little wrong, this is the place to go to Xiangyang County." ”

Cao Ming held the saber and said: "It turned out to be the place to go to Xiangyang, then we are indeed going the wrong way, general, who is behind you?" ”

"There's no one behind!" After hearing this, Cai Mao glanced back and found that there was no one behind him at all, and then there was a sharp pain in his neck, and his eyes turned black and his consciousness disappeared, and finally his body shook and fell off the horse.

Cao Ming waved the scabbard, thinking that this thing was very powerful at beating people, I thought that I couldn't stun Cai Mao, but I didn't expect it to be solved all at once, I hope I don't want to be a fool.

Cao Ming pulled Cai Mao under a tree, then tied his horse to the trunk, and then had to visit Zuo Ci's friend, hoping that his friend would be home at this time.

Cao Ming searched for the location in the letter, and finally found a mountain villa before sunset, although it was a small mountain courtyard, but looking at the past had another situation.

When the servants in the village saw that someone was coming, they immediately stopped Cao Ming and said, "Mr. has rested after a busy day, and I ask the girl to come back to visit another day." ”

Cao Ming frowned and said, "Could it be that you are perfunctory to me, the sun has not yet set, how can people rest." ”

At this time, an old man came out of the village and said, "Don't be rude, you stand down and prepare tea, girl, please come with me." ”

Cao Ming followed the old man into a private apartment, and there was a man sitting in it, the man's age did not look very old, just over double ten.

The old man introduced himself: "The old man is Sima Hui, the owner of the village, this is the old man's friend Xu Shu, and the chief of Zuo Dao has sent a letter, saying that there is a noble person coming, and it seems that it is the girl." ”

Cao Ming arched his hand and said: "Actually, I took the liberty to disturb, now that there is chaos outside, it is not easy for me to travel a long distance to return home." ”

Xu Shu nodded and said: "The girl's words are true, I also just got the news, Wang Yun and Lu Bu have already got rid of Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo's old troops will definitely counterattack, and I am afraid that it will not be safe between Chang'an and Luoyang." ”

Cao Ming stared at Xu Shu like a monster, how did this guy know so much, could it be that he had just returned from Chang'an City.

Sima Hui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi is a talented person, this thing can't be hidden from him, I don't know where the girl is and where she is going?" ”
