It's another night, the moon is hazy, the cold stars are dotted, and the cool breeze is cool.

Cao Ang was lying on the bed, fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, his face was extremely hideous, and his expression was extremely panicked.

In his sleep, he clearly saw the old Cao Cao's body and soul, the vaguely familiar young face sitting on a high throne in gorgeous clothes, the stars shifting, and saw countless alien jackals with wrong arms raging the Central Plains, the land of Shenzhou was devastated, and the bizarre scenes kept changing, until a long time later, a high-rise building like a jade pillar appeared, running iron boxes, and galloping giant strange birds......

Cao Ang woke up suddenly, his body was tense and stiff, his face was extremely pale, his hands were propped up on the bed, he was breathing greedily, his eyes were empty and numb, and in the hazy moonlight, he was like a protruding corpse, which was terrifying.

The violent movements pulled the wound behind his back, and the sharp pain of tearing pulled Cao Ang's soul back to the world.

"Am I alive?" Cao Ang was puzzled, his mind was still confused, and what he saw and heard in Shicai's dream was too real, making him wonder if he was really alive.

Outside the window, there was the sound of frogs and insects.

Cao Ang exhaled deeply and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although my mind is muddy, although my heart is as heavy as pressing on a boulder, although a sad emotion subconsciously emerges.

But it's good to be alive!

Cao Ang, who had come back to his senses, suppressed the confusion and looked around vigilantly, and by the hazy moonlight, he could discern that this place was a simple dwelling, with only a bed and a table in the room, and no other furnishings. Cao Ang cautiously got out of bed, walked out of the room, and stepped into the darkness.

It was a hall with doors and windows closed, and the moon did not enter, and the room was empty and eerie. Cao Ang calmed down and groped carefully. Suddenly, there was a staccato and intelligible voice from the room at the west end.

Cao Ang's heart tightened, and he immediately stood still, and after a short while, he tiptoed over.

"Are you really going to kill him? I have already negotiated with the people in Xiangyang City, if they want to live, someone will come to escort them in person in two days, and the whole 1,500 yuan can be exchanged for seven stones of grain. The man was very angry, and unconsciously raised his voice, Cao Ang heard it clearly outside, and instantly his hair stood upside down, and his ears were against the wall, not wanting to miss a single bit.

As soon as the man's voice fell, a woman with a not very nice voice spoke: "You make a small voice, don't wake up the person in the west and let him know, but it's not easy to do." ”

"It's good to wake up, if he dares to talk, I'll take care of it." The man seemed to be very dissatisfied with Cao Ang, muttered disdainfully, and continued: "The family is about to run out of food, you and I are still strong and can get through, but Xiao Qin'er is such a small person, it is the time to grow his body, you can't lose him, you listen to my advice, don't kill him now, wait for two days to come to the city, change the money and do what they do." ”

The woman seemed to hesitate, was silent for a long time, sighed faintly, and said: "Although the man in the west looks embarrassed, but seeing that he is dressed extraordinarily, with fine skin and tender meat, he must be from a big family. ”

After a pause, he said: "Seeing that the wheat is about to ripen, if there is no food at home, and the Huang family will borrow some, and wait for the new wheat to be harvested and then return it to him." ”

"Hmph, the Huang family is a big family, and our small family still has little to do with them. None of these big families are good. The man was quite indignant, and seemed to have a deep holiday with the Huang family, full of complaints.

The woman sneered and said, "Okay, it wasn't the Huang family who bullied you back then, not to mention that although the Huang family is a big family in our Xiangyang, the children of the family have always been responsible, and the daughter-in-law of the Huang family lives at the foot of the mountain all the year round, and is quite familiar with us women, how can it be so unbearable as you say." ”

The man seemed to be told about the sore spot, and suddenly jumped to his feet and said: "These big families are all connected, and you don't know what happened back then, why did you still say good things for them?" ”

The woman's temper was not very good, and after the man shouted, he immediately said: "You have a lot of skills, you have no support for bullying me and Xiao Qin'er's orphans and widows, and you dare to play tricks on me." I said kill it, kill it, where do you get all this useless nonsense? Go back to your house and go to bed, and kill him early tomorrow morning, and wake up in the evening, and let him run away. ”

The man snorted and gasped, staring at the woman with round eyes. The woman was impatient and rebuked, "Stare at me for nothing, and don't go home." ”

"That's it," the man beat his chest fiercely, and said viciously, "if you want to kill, you can kill, and I will go and kill him, so that you can be satisfied." ”

"Big Hadron," the woman cried out sharply, "you don't listen to me, do you, you will do it, how about accidentally waking him up?" Wouldn't it be better to wait until the early hours of tomorrow morning, when you are asleep soundly, and then you will start quietly, unaware of it, and cleanly? ”

"You...... You ruined...... It's me off! The man rushed out of the room, slammed the door shut, and shouted angrily.

Cao Ang squatted down suddenly, holding his breath, not daring to make a sound, until the man hurried out of the door, then quickly got up and went back to the room, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Cao Ang racked his brains to think of countermeasures, and after carefully tasting it, he felt quite strange. Listening to the conversation between these two people, it seems that this man is very hostile to a big family, but this woman wants to harm herself, but he refuses, Cao Ang can't help but be confused, it stands to reason that they think that they are from a big family, and this man should want to kill himself more than a woman.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Cao Ang's mind, and he searched carefully in the house, and after a short while, Cao Ang sat down on the collapse, and his face became gloomy. The armor and weapons he had with him were gone.

"It must be my armor and weapons that reveal my identity," Cao Ang's mind turned rapidly, deliberating a reasonable explanation, "Jingzhou is connected to Yangzhou in the east, Shu in the south, and the Central Plains in the north, which is a strategic point in Shandong. My father's ambition was to support the Han dynasty and sweep the world, and a war with Jingzhou was inevitable. Liu Jingsheng was hesitant, and since he got the news of me, he would definitely try to arrest me in order to coerce my father to quit the army. Therefore, the man was very opposed to the woman murdering me now, and wanted to wait until someone from Xiangyang came to arrest me in exchange for money. ”

"It's just...... If I am the strange thing to live in, why is the woman so anxious to harm me? ”

Cao Ang thought about it for a while, but he couldn't fully explain the intentions of the man and woman, and he didn't think much about it at the moment. Finding a way to save your life right now is the most important thing. Originally, with his martial arts, it didn't take much effort to take down a pair of peasant men and women. But now that he is covered with heavy injuries, it is God's grace not to die, and it is absolutely impossible to do it with others, not to mention that with his weak body, I am afraid that even a half-old boy can clean him up.

After thinking about it for a long time, the only way out was to flee far away before the man could make a move. But thinking of the woman's instructions, Cao Ang was a little worried.

"If that man really obeyed the woman's instructions and guarded me all night, I would have been doomed." Cao Ang was silently thinking in his heart, and suddenly there was a movement outside, and Cao Ang immediately lay down and pretended to sleep, not daring to show a trace of horses' feet.

After a few breaths, the door was gently pushed open, and the squeaky sound made Cao Ang nervous, but fortunately, the woman just stretched out her head to look inside, and when she saw Cao Ang sleeping in Zhengxiang, she didn't pay attention to it, covered the door and left quietly.

After waiting quietly for a while, Cao Angfang slowly got up, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the moonlight outside. At this time, it is about midnight, although the night is dark, but the farmhouse is lit up, and it is definitely not a good time to escape. Cao Ang made a little calculation in his heart, and then lay down on the bed to recuperate.

After settling down, it is easy to be cranky, and soon the tragic situation of the battle of Wancheng that day emerged, and Dian Wei's burnt face was deeply rooted in Cao Ang's mind, lingering.

"I don't know if my father is okay." Cao Ang sighed faintly, then laughed at himself, and said secretly: "The dignified Xu Du Cao family, the eldest prince of the dynasty Sikong, is so downtrodden, it is only worth 1,500 yuan. ”

After self-deprecation, there was a trace of anxiety in his heart that was difficult to resolve: "Although Zhang Xiu is insignificant, after all, he has guarded the gate of Jingxiang to the north, in other words, Zhang Xiu's surrender and rebellion is not only a blow to his father's son of heaven, but also a disruption to his father's strategic arrangement." If Zhang Xiu does not fall, Jingzhou will always be a constraint, making it difficult for Xu Du to go all out to pass through the East, and if he can't go all out to go through the East, it will be difficult to store strength with peace of mind, so as to compare with the north, so when will the world be determined? ”

The more Cao Ang thought about it, the more anxious he became. Suddenly, a piece of information crossed his mind: Zhang Xiu finally returned to Cao and died on the way to Wuhuan in the north. Cao Ang was stunned, a little panicked, and suddenly became angry again.

Waiting, what is waiting? Before the catch-up, it was said that it was fixed, and the pure line was not happy, and the country was determined by labor! This is a commendation for the important ministers who have made meritorious contributions to surrender. In this way, Zhang Xiu not only took refuge in Cao Ying, but also was reused, contributing to the country.

Thinking of Dian Wei's tragic death, a resentment rose in Cao Ang's heart.

Although the eldest husband died on the battlefield, he would not complain, but the battle of Wancheng was completely caused by Cao Cao's misconduct and selfishness. The result was the tragic death of the henchman, the tragic death of the beloved son, and the tragic death of the blood left by the younger brother.

Even so, he was still able to accept Zhang Xiu. Is this Cao Cao really broad-minded, or is he really too deep in the city? In an instant, Cao Ang couldn't help but be in a trance, and the glorious image of Cao Cao in the past became blurred.

Time always passes quietly in contemplation, and before you know it, it has reached the first moment of ugliness. At this time, everything is silent, the noise of frogs and insects has died down, and the lights of the farmhouse have long been extinguished.

Cao Ang opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and this was the best time to escape.

Got off the bed lightly, and the cat avoided making a sound. Walking into the hall, he could vaguely hear the faint snoring sound in the east house, and Cao Ang relaxed slightly. He tiptoed open the deadbolt, not daring to stay longer, and cautiously stretched out one foot like a thief, his eyes swept around, and suddenly his whole body was cold, and his steps froze.

But at the mouth of an alley on the right side of the house, a man with a height of more than seven feet and a tiger's back turned his head to stare at Cao Ang, his expression tense and his face full of solemnity.

Cao Ang looked at the man, and clearly saw a trace of disgust and murderous intent on his face, and in an instant, Cao Ang made up his mind: since he failed to escape and was discovered by him, he had to fight to the death, how could a manly man close his eyes and wait for death?
