Chapter 41: Arson

Gan Ning thought to himself that Sun Jian's son Sun Ce had heard of it, but his son's age was even younger than himself, and this girl actually let herself put down her body and go to his son, isn't this obviously deliberately fooling herself.

Thinking of this, Gan Ning said: "This Sun Jian is dead, what kind of climate can his son become, could it be that you are fooling me?" ”

Cao Ming said perfunctorily: "I just said it casually, if you take it seriously, I can't help it, but this Sun Ce is indeed my friend." ”

Cao Ming thought that it was really not good to use Sun Ce as a hole card, because Sun Ce had not yet unified Jiangdong, so Gan Ning would definitely not defect to an unknown person.

Gan Ning simply ignored Cao Ming, in his opinion, the other party just wanted to escape, so he was close to himself.

Cao Ming looked at the candlestick on the table, thinking that the three Taoist gods are above, and the little woman is also forced to be helpless, I hope you know in heaven and don't blame me.

Gan Ning beside him was already asleep, and Cao Ming knew that his opportunity had come, that is, to knock over the candlestick and burn the hall, and then take advantage of the chaos to run out, but the danger factor was also very large, and it was likely to put himself in it.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be a general!" A dream word suddenly came out of Gan Ning's mouth, as if he was having a good dream of becoming a general, but this was hell for Cao Ming.

Cao Ming carefully stepped over Gan Ning's legs, then walked slowly to the tribute table, and used an oil lamp to roast the rope on his body, and the flames quickly jumped to Cao Ming's arm, burning the rope at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Shhh Cao Ming finally felt the taste of the animal being roasted, and the burning pain stimulated the nerves in her arm, and she didn't dare to play with fire if she killed herself in the future.

However, Cao Ming couldn't care about the pain anymore, and if he didn't hurry up and take the second step, the bandits would wake up.

Cao Ming gathered all the oil lamps together, then dripped the oil inside onto the flammable material, and dripped some on the mat on the ground.

After finishing everything, Cao Ming quietly walked to the temple gate, and threw an oil lamp directly onto the mat, and the flames spread to the surroundings in an instant, waking up the sleeping robbers.

"It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! The robbers shouted and put out the fire, but the fire on their bodies was so great that it was almost impossible to extinguish it by people.

Cao Ming took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the main hall, and blocked the palace door with a scabbard to prevent the robbers inside from coming out, so that even if the people inside could not be burned to death, they would have to be smoked to death by a large amount of smoke.

But the world is unpredictable, just when Cao Ming thought it was over, a big knife broke open the door of the palace from the inside out, and then a person rushed out of the hall, it was Gan Ning, the leader of the robbers.

Cao Ming looked at the other party with a surprised expression: "Why haven't you been burned to death, I remember that you slept in it, and it should be turned into charcoal now." ”

Gan Ning's eyes were full of killing intent, all because of the woman in front of her, her future and brother were gone.

The corners of Cao Ming's mouth lifted and said: "Don't you feel very angry, if you want to cry, my sister won't laugh at you, and the shoulder can be borrowed for free." ”

"Ahh Gan Ning couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and swung his knife at Cao Ming in front of him, this knife was full of his anger, vowing to split the other party in half.

Cao Ming hurriedly dodged to the side to avoid the opponent's blade, and then grabbed a piece of gravel on the spot and smashed it at the other party, Gan Ning was caught off guard and was hit hard by the stone, but fortunately it was just an inconsequential arm.

"Goo" Cao Ming's stomach began to scream, but he drank a few sips of water during the day, and he hadn't eaten anything yet, both legs began to weaken, and his head was still dizzy.

"So you're a martial artist!" Gan Ning instantly figured out everything, his sword was difficult for ordinary people to dodge, unless it was a person who practiced martial arts with agility.

Cao Ming's eyes rolled and said, "That's right, I'm a master, if you put down the knife now, I may be able to spare your life." ”

Gan Ning said with a ruthless face: "Even if you are a master, I am not afraid, you haven't eaten since yesterday morning, I'm afraid you don't even have the strength to run." ”

Cao Ming's heart sank after hearing this, this guy's brain is really enough, much stronger than Lu Bu's, he finally escaped, and now he is in a desperate situation again.

Cao Ming thought about it for a while, and had to play with it: "You, as a man, are holding a weapon and bullying me as an unarmed woman, and your reputation is not good?" ”

Gan Ning laughed and said: "Do you think I am a gentleman, I Gan Ning has killed a lot of people in my life, most of them are corrupt officials and evil officials, but I have also killed innocent passers-by, as for you must die today!" ”

By this time the rain had stopped, but the fire continued to burn, and screams could be heard from time to time, presumably robbers who had not burned to death.

Cao Ming suddenly felt that she was a little too cruel, even if they were all extremely heinous people, she would not set fire to them.

Thinking of this, Cao Ming pointed to the temple and said: "Did you hear these people screaming, now that you have time to kill me, you can save several people, it seems that in your eyes, brother is just your tool." ”

Gan Ning's breathing became short, and he also heard the screams of his brothers, maybe he should let go of his hatred and save the trapped brothers first.

At this time, several robbers who escaped by luck ran over: "Big brother, why are you still here, hurry up and come over to help us, there are brothers inside!" ”

Gan Ning stared at Cao Ming for a few moments, then turned around and rushed into the hall, seemingly choosing to save people.

At this time, many Taoist priests rushed to hear the sound, each carrying a wooden bucket of water in their hands, and Cao Ming also helped fight the fire with hunger, after all, the fire was caused by himself.

The Taoist priests were busy until dawn, and Zuo Ci ordered people to prepare food to treat them, and at the same time arranged for people to treat the injured robbers.

Cao Ming has long been hungry, and the vegetarian dishes and porridge that she usually can't swallow have now become peerless delicious.

Cao Ming suddenly discovered Gan Ning's abnormality, the other party didn't even eat a mouthful of food, but kept staring at his face.

Cao Ming thought to herself, could it be that this guy was going to play kidnapping again, but he had only drunk less than a bowl of porridge, plus he had saved the fire for a night, and now it was very difficult to even walk, on the other hand, there were still ten people who could move, and they all had weapons in their hands.

Gan Ning handed over his porridge and said, "I didn't eat a bite, and now it's all for you, thank you for helping us." ”

Cao Ming said vigilantly: "You know that I set this fire, but now you give me porridge to drink, it doesn't make sense to think about it." ”

Gan Ning sighed and said: "If we hadn't kidnapped you, you wouldn't have set us on fire, now that I think about what the Taoist chief said is indeed right, once a person does evil, there will be retribution waiting for me, so I plan not to be a robber, but to be a general who protects the people." ”

Cao Ming looked at Gan Ning with a look of astonishment, thinking that this guy had actually changed his sex, he wasn't dreaming.

Zuo Ci came over when he heard the sound, and said to Gan Ning with a smile: "Sometimes it is better to change a wicked person than to kill a wicked person, I hope you really reform yourself." ”

Cao Ming said to Zuo Ci: "Daoist, you came just in time, didn't you say that my sister is here, I can see her now." ”

Zuo Ci nodded and said, "It just so happens that I plan to ask you to go, but you have to be prepared, maybe your sister has changed." ”

Cao Ming followed Zuo Ci to a room, thinking that the Taoist chief said that Diao Chan had changed, and this was probably fooling himself.

"Sister!" Diao Chan heard the movement and walked out of the house, dressed in a Taoist dress that looked so elegant that even Cao Ming didn't dare to recognize him.

Cao Ming's eyes were red and said: "Is this old way fooling you, saying anything like double cultivation for men and women, you must not believe him!" ”

Diao Chan's face was slightly red and said: "What are you talking nonsense about this girl, the Taoist has been good to me these days, and often tells me some big truths, so I am determined to follow the Taoist master to practice, and I will not ask about everything for the rest of my life." ”

"Click!" An invisible lightning bolt struck Cao Ming, how could things have turned out like this, God, hurry up and come out for me, I promise not to kill you.

Zuo Ci explained: "Miss Diao Chan's mortal heart has gone, and she can indeed practice with the poor Dao, and I hope that the donor can fulfill it." ”

Diao Chan nodded and said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't suffer with Master, I will go to see you when I have time, I hope you can rely on your talent to do more practical things for the people." ”

Cao Ming suddenly felt so painful in her heart, why did they have to leave her, could it be that all this is fate.

Diao Chan suddenly thought of something, and went back to the house and took out the phoenix seal: "By the way, you have taken this thing, don't lose it, you can't change it back when you save it!" ”

Cao Ming nodded silently: "Since my sister chooses to practice, then I will respect your choice, and it just so happens that I am leaving today." ”

Although Cao Ming's heart is very reluctant, she can only wish Diao Chan all the best, after all, her body and mind are her own, and others can't control her if she wants to become a monk.

Zuo Ci sent Cao Ming all the way down the mountain, and only stopped when he reached the official road, and then gave her some money.

Then Zuo Ci took out a letter and said to Cao Ming: "If the girl wants to take refuge, there is a good place to go in the poor road, as long as you follow the location mentioned in the letter, you can find it!" ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that this was a good idea, so Sun Ce hadn't married Da Qiao yet, wouldn't it be embarrassing to take the liberty of going.

"Then thank you!" Cao Ming took the letter and put it away, now the top priority is to find an inn to live in, he has been tired for several days.

There are many inns on the official road, Cao Ming chose one casually and stayed, not only took a hot bath, but also ate a hearty meal.

After enjoying everything, Cao Ming lay on the bed and fell asleep, and now she can't wake up even if it is thundering.

"Boss, have you seen this person?" Thirty Jingzhou soldiers came in outside the inn, led by Shi Chang, holding a painting, and the person in the painting was Cao Ming, who was resting upstairs.
