With the Yitian Sword in hand, Ding Feng, who was originally among the second-rate people, suddenly entered the quasi-first-class, and slashed and killed the Jingzhou soldiers who were useless except for water warfare, and the degree of handiness can only be described as chopping melons and vegetables, and wherever the Yitian Sword went, the Jingzhou soldiers were either broken or missing arms and legs, and even the heads fell to the ground, and the blood was gushing like a spring. seized the opportunity to cut over and stabbed two Jingzhou soldiers to death.

In the melee, the Jingzhou soldiers once tried to attack the Cao Jun's family who had no power to fight back, but before that, Deputy Director Tao had carefully observed the terrain, let Cao Lao's family hide against a large rock on the shore, and arranged four Cao soldiers to protect the wings, so that Ding Feng could block the front, but although the Jingzhou soldiers were numerous, they could not immediately rush to the Cao Jun's family, but were taken by Ding Feng and other Cao soldiers who were as powerful as a tiger, and cut down six or seven Jingzhou soldiers in one go, and the remaining Jingzhou soldiers retreated timidly to avoid the edge. Don't dare to fight for your life again.

Although the situation has been temporarily stabilized, the biggest hero, Deputy Director Tao, who took the initiative to contribute to the Yitian Sword, is in extreme danger, because after the Yitian Sword was unsheathed, Cao Qing, who had already found that the hilt was very familiar, also recognized it at a glance, Deputy Director Tao carried this sword turned out to be her father Cao Boss's favorite sword, the Yitian Sword that cut iron like mud, and the Yitian Sword that was accidentally lost in the decisive battle between Cao Tao's two armies in Xuchang. Immediately, Cao Qing pressed his short sword against his waist and asked about the origin of the Heavenly Sword, and Deputy Director Tao, who had no good intentions, was helpless, and could only reply tremblingly: "I picked it up." ”

Deputy Director Tao's words are rare to be a big truth, Yitian Sword is indeed selected by Xuzhou soldiers in the chaos to give to Deputy Director Tao, for which Deputy Director Tao also rewarded the soldier who offered the sword, but unfortunately sometimes the more the truth, the more no one believes it, Cao Qing suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where did you pick it up?" Where did you pick them up? ”

"Son-in-law, the enemy is now, can we talk about this later?" Deputy Director Tao smiled bitterly, patted Ding Feng who was guarding in front again, pointed to the crowd of Jingzhou soldiers opposite with his hand, and said in a low voice: "General Ding, did you see that bearded Jingzhou soldier?" Among the enemies here, he has the highest official position, and the other Jingzhou soldiers are also standing on both sides of him, it is certain that he is the leader of this group of Jingzhou thieves, rush up to kill him, capture the thief and capture the king first, and the rest will be easy to do. ”

Ding Feng didn't say a word, he rushed up with a roar, the Jingzhou soldiers on the opposite side were shocked, and they raised their guns to stab the room, Ding Feng suddenly knelt down on his knees in the charge, slid forward with his back to the sky, and took the opportunity to swing his sword to slash the spear, after the bang, the four spears were broken in response, and the Jingzhou soldiers screamed together, Ding Feng roared again, jumped up in the slide, and held the sword with both hands to cut the Jingzhou Dubo, the Dubo was frightened without thinking, and subconsciously raised the gun with both hands to stand the sword in the sky, and then when there was a sound, The barrel of Nadubo's spear was suddenly broken in two, and the sword of Yitian was like a bamboo, and it slashed at Nadubo's face, splitting his upper body into two pieces together, and only stopped in the abdomen.

"Good! Well done! The Cao soldiers who watched the battle behind were all cheering loudly, but the Jingzhou soldiers were screaming and chaotic, and then seeing Ding Feng angrily carrying the bloody Yitian sword to kill, the remaining dozen Jingzhou soldiers suddenly shouted, and ran away together, but even so, there was still a Jingzhou soldier who was not running fast was cut off half of his body by Ding Feng's sword, wailing and falling in a pool of blood, and the other Jingzhou soldiers were even more soulless, and hurriedly jumped off the water, swimming and running for their lives, although Ding Fengshui's surname was excellent, But considering that Boss Cao's wife and children would have to be protected, he didn't go into the water to chase him, but just spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and then returned to Deputy Director Tao and others with his sword.

"Brother Zhang, your sword is too powerful, it's easier to cut people and weapons than tofu, what kind of sword ...... is this." Ding Feng couldn't go on after only half of his joyful words, because Ding Feng suddenly saw that Cao Qing had put the short sword on Deputy Director Tao's neck, and his pretty and moving face was full of anger, Ding Feng couldn't help but be taken aback, and exclaimed: "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”

"You ask this Zhang Shan." Cao Qing replied in a cold tone: "The sword in your hand is my father's most beloved Heavenly Sword, and it is as sharp as the fish intestine sword made by the cadre Mo Ye, where did he come from?" ”

"This is the world's famous sword Yitian Sword?!" Ding Feng and the other Cao soldiers were also taken aback, and then hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhang, how can the lord's love sword Yitian Sword be in your hands?" ”

"I picked it." Deputy Director Tao smiled bitterly and told the truth again.

"Nonsense!" Cao Qing was furious and said: "The Yitian Sword was lost by my father during the Battle of Xuchang, my father once told us about the situation at that time, he and Tao Ying annihilated the thief in the melee, and my father used this Yitian Sword to throw the Tao thief in order to kill the thief, and the Tao thief dodged it cunningly, and this Yitian Sword was lost in the chaos!" You are a soldier of Jizhou, and you did not participate in the Battle of Xuchang, how could you possibly pick up this Heavenly Sword? ”

"I didn't pick up this Heavenly Sword in Xuchang." Deputy Director Tao could only continue to talk nonsense, explaining: "After I fell into the water last night, I was washed by the river for dozens of miles, and finally got ashore, and I saw the body of a young man in a white robe and white armor in the reeds in the shallow water, and found this Yitian Sword on him, I tried it and found that it was a sword, and the spear originally used was also lost in the melee, so I brought it to my body for self-defense, I really didn't know that it was Meng Degong's Yitian Sword!" ”

"General in white robes, don't lie to the little girl anymore." Cao Qing sneered and said: "The appearance of the white-robed general you asked me to describe is exactly the same as your appearance, you are the white-robed general that Zhang Fei and the Jingzhou thief army are looking for, right?" Your uniform must have been ripped off other corpses, right? ”

"That's right!" Cao Zhi nodded vigorously, and pointed out again: "Also, when Zhang Fei's gang of thieves were present just now, you kept your back to Zhang Fei, and then you simply hid behind the big stone and sat down, not daring Zhang Fei to see you, which is enough to prove that you are the white-robed general that Zhang Fei is looking for." ”

Deputy Director Tao was completely speechless, but Cao Qing sneered again: "That's not all, you are wearing a coarse Jizhou military uniform outside, but I just accidentally saw that the underwear you wear inside your coat is a good silk silk, Yuan Tan Pifu is so rich, he also wears silk underwear for an ordinary soldier?" And your speech and demeanor, your battlefield experience, will it be as simple as a petty pawn?! ”

Deputy Director Tao didn't have anything to say, but secretly scolded Cao Qing for not abiding by women's morals and peeking at his underwear. Cao Qing tightened the short sword in his hand, and shouted: "Say, who are you?!" ”

"Miss Cao, who do you think I am?" Deputy Director Tao asked with a wry smile.

"I'm sure you must be an important person in the Xuzhou thief army!" Cao Qing sneered and analyzed: "The battle of Xuchang, my father's team at the end of the strong crossbow was unfortunately defeated by the pottery thief, the Yitian sword must have been obtained by the pottery thief team, the pottery thief team has strict military law, and the average pawn will definitely not dare to hide this sword privately, and he must hand it over for a reward, and this Yitian sword will naturally fall into the hands of Tao Ying's thief...... ”

"It's not good, I didn't expect this girl to be so strong in reasoning." Deputy Director Tao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Miss Cao's analysis is correct, the situation is basically like this, after the Xuchang War, the Yitian Sword was indeed obtained by my cousin, but my cousin is in a high position, and there is no need to fight on the battlefield anymore, and it is useless to get this divine weapon, so I rewarded the Yitian Sword to me again." ”

"You're Taugi?" Cao Qing was taken aback, subconsciously raised his sword to the chest of Deputy Director Tao, and exclaimed: "You are the chief general of the Junzi Army, Tao Ying's cousin Tao Ji?!" ”

"Yes, I'm Tao Ji." Deputy Director Tao nodded, and said with some admiration: "I didn't expect Miss Cao to know so much about the situation of our Tao family, and she immediately guessed my name." ”

"Of course." Cao Qing laughed, laughed extremely desolately, and said slowly: "Our Cao family and your Tao family don't share the same sky, your Tao family owes our Cao family a lot of blood debts, too many to count, can I not remember the names of your three brothers?" Pray all night that your Tao brothers will not die well?! ”

"Stinky, the heart is really poisonous!" Deputy Director Tao scolded in his heart, and then hurriedly said: "Miss Cao, if you still want your family to return to your father safely, you must not kill me!" Take me to see my cousin's team, I asked them to open the road, give them dry food and war horses, and send them to Luyang to meet your father. ”

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense!" Cao Zhi jumped up and shouted, "Kill him quickly and avenge our Cao family!" ”

"It's easy to kill me, but you so many old and weak women and children, how did you get to Luyang?" Deputy Director Tao said quickly: "Miss Cao, make a deal, you take me to meet the Xuzhou team, and then I will arrange for your family to go to Luyang until your family is safely sent to your father's side." Our Tao family is weak, and my cousin will definitely agree to my request in order to keep me. ”

Cao Qing was in great difficulty, and when he was nervously calculating, there was a noisy shout in the upstream direction of the north bank of the Tanshui, and when everyone looked up in surprise, they saw that a Xuzhou team suddenly turned out from behind the mountain, rushing towards this side along the bank of the Tanshui River, and the number was extremely large, not to mention the huge number of thousands of people. Seeing this Xuzhou army, Cao Qing and the others suddenly turned their faces like white paper, but Deputy Director Tao fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart, and the tense nerves were finally relaxed, and the whole person was almost paralyzed to the ground - because this time it could not be Uncle Liu's team to disguise, and now Uncle Liu Huang is a pants, and he can't get so many Xuzhou military uniforms to disguise.

The nerves just relaxed a little, and with a slight pain in the skin around his neck, Deputy Director Tao's heart rose to his throat again, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Cao Qing really glared at him viciously, and said, "Tell them to stop immediately, and then we will talk about conditions!" ”

"No." Deputy Director Tao sang helplessly, and then hurriedly opened his loud voice and shouted: "Don't come, don't come over, I'm your third general Tao Ji!" I'm your third general, Tao Ji! Don't come here! Stay back! ”

"Tao Ji is in our hands, don't come here!" Ding Feng and other Cao soldiers also bluffed, bluffing, and Deputy Director Tao had a few more knives and guns on him.

Fortunately, Ma Zhongze, who led the Xuzhou army to search and rescue, walked in the front, first heard the shouts of Deputy Director Tao and Cao Qing and others, and then saw Deputy Director Tao who was controlled by Cao Jun's soldiers, and drank the team behind him in time, and hurriedly ordered someone to pass the order, not allowing the soldiers to call the identity of Deputy Director Tao, and then commanded the army to outflank and quickly surrounded Cao Qing and others, and finally stepped forward and shouted: "Let him go, I'll let you go!" ”

"Let him go? It's not that easy! Cao Qingjiao shouted: "Call Tao Ying to destroy the thief, I want to negotiate conditions with him!" ”

"He's in your hands." Ma Zhong, whose left arm was hanging from his chest and his head was still wrapped in gauze, muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show his voice on his face, but said: "The lord is not here, what conditions do you want, I will talk to you." ”

"No way!" Cao Qing flatly refused, and said: "I only negotiate terms with Tao Ying, otherwise I will kill this Tao Ji Piff!" ”

"The lord is really not here!" Ma Zhong shouted helplessly, "What conditions do you want, talk to me, I am the captain of the lord's personal army Ma Zhong, I was ordered to search and rescue the three generals, I can promise you whatever conditions you want." ”

"Okay, I'll give you a step." Cao Qing said decisively: "You prepare horses for us, one for each person, and then take us to see Tao Ying and the thief, but we are not allowed to come close to us within a hundred steps, and food and clothing are also indispensable. ”

"It's ......."

Ma Zhong is in great difficulty, he can only look at Deputy Director Tao and consult Deputy Director Tao's opinion, Deputy Director Tao is also very difficult, Cao Qing's condition is not unacceptable, but in this way, Deputy Director Tao's prestige is discredited, once it is detected by the enemy, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, these peerless annihilators, will definitely seize this opportunity to make a big fuss, and then the consequences will be unimaginable - this is a full fifty miles away from Ye County, Zhang Fei may also go and return at any time, Cao Qing and others are slow, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong want to make a fuss, not only have the opportunity, but also the time.

After hesitating, Deputy Director Tao suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly shouted: "All the troops listen to the order, bow and arrow ready!" ”

"No!" The Xuzhou soldiers subconsciously agreed neatly, and raised their bows and arrows together to aim at Cao Qing and others, Cao Qing was shocked: "Are you crazy? You're not afraid I'll kill you? ”

"If you kill me, you and your family won't be able to escape!" Deputy Director Tao sneered and said, "Miss Cao, let's make a deal and keep the transaction that satisfies you." ”

"What deal?" Cao Qing hurriedly asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have nine brothers, three sisters, and twelve mothers." Deputy Director Tao said: "Now your sisters are all here, but only two of the nine brothers are here, and only two of the twelve mothers are here, that is to say, you have seven brothers and ten mothers who are now missing, do you want to rescue them?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Cao Qing asked with a cold face.

"You let me go, order your team to lay down their weapons, and I'll take you to my cousin and ask him to come forward and send troops to search and rescue your family as much as possible." Deputy Director Tao replied, "Then I will ask my cousin to arrange manpower and send your family to see your father." ”

"You're dreaming!" Cao Qing said angrily: "With you in my hands, I'm not afraid that he won't agree to these conditions!" ”

"Miss Cao, if I'm not mistaken." Deputy Director Tao said slowly: "In the fourth year of the first peace, your father once issued an order, which clearly stipulated that the hostage-taker should be attacked without worrying about the safety of the hostage-to tell you the truth, there is also this decree in the Xuzhou army!" ”

Cao Qing's face changed, and he said angrily: "Then why did they stop attacking? ”

"That's because General Ma Zhong wants to give you a chance." Deputy Director Tao said with great emotion: "But as the cousin of the lord, I can't help but take the lead in enforcing the military law, so don't expect to take me hostage, they will agree to your harsh conditions." General Ma Zhong, don't you say? ”

Deputy Director Tao deliberately said this loudly, and Ma Zhong, who was not far away, also nodded understandingly, and said: "The third general is right, the general will order the arrow to be released at the end of the meeting, if the third general is injured, please forgive the third general, the last general is also for the sake of the lord's strict military law, and he has to do it as a last resort!" ”

"Miss Cao, you make a decision." Deputy Director Tao smiled and said: "You only have two choices now, one is to let your whole family die with me, and the other is to lay down your arms and surrender, I promise you, I will definitely beg my brother to send your family to see your father, and I will try my best to search and rescue your family!" ”

"You madman!" Cao Qing said angrily.

"It was your father who gave this crazy order first." Deputy Director Tao said unhurriedly: "My cousin, he is just following your father's example. ”

"You're not afraid of death?" Cao Qing simply pressed the throat of Deputy Director Tao with a short sword, and asked with anger trembling.

"Of course I don't want to die." Deputy Director Tao shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression: "But there is no way, military law is like a mountain, I just don't want to die!" ”

"Miss Cao, surrender, you have no choice." Ma Zhong on the opposite side also shouted: "Although you have held the three generals hostage, but the lord has military law, and I can't abide by it!" The armies came forward and besieged them! ”

"No!" The Xuzhou soldiers agreed neatly, raised their guns neatly, and slowly approached Cao Qing and others, Cao Qing was in a hurry, and simply strangled Deputy Director Tao's neck, put his short sword against Deputy Director Tao's vest, and shouted again and again: "Don't come, don't come!" ”

"Miss Cao, they won't listen to you." Deputy Director Tao said softly: "Believe me, surrender, I will definitely save your lost family, and I will definitely send your family back to your father." Believe me, we've been living and dying together for half a day, and I'm not going to lie to you. ”

Cao Qing hesitated, when he turned his head to look at Ding Feng and the others, he saw that Ding Feng and the others were all at a loss, and when he turned his head to look at his mother and younger siblings, the two mothers and all the younger siblings were also looking at him, and their eyes were full of despair and sadness. And the soldiers in Xuzhou were already slowly approaching within five steps, helpless, Cao Qing couldn't help but shed tears, choked up and asked, "You don't lie to me?" ”

"Of course." Deputy Director Tao said in a more gentle tone: "Presumably your father also told you that our Tao family values faith and righteousness the most, and it has always been a promise. Miss Cao, surrender, for the sake of your mother who gave birth to you and raised you, and for the sake of your young brothers and sisters, they are so young, can you bear to let them die now? ”

Cao Qingyin's teeth were clenched, her whole body trembled, and her tears flowed more, Deputy Director Tao looked back at her and said solemnly: "Miss Cao, don't hesitate, I won't lie to you, don't forget, if it wasn't for me just now, your two mothers and two sisters would have been killed by Jingzhou thieves, I saved them, will I still harm them?" ”

Trembling, the short sword in Cao Qing's hand was finally slowly put down, and the arm that strangled Deputy Director Tao was also put down, the soldiers in Xuzhou were thunderous with joy, and hurriedly rushed forward to separate Deputy Director Tao, Cao Qing and Ding Feng and others, Ma Zhong also snatched Cao Qing's short sword finely, Deputy Director Tao also turned around, smiled at Cao Qing and said: "Miss Cao, you have made a smart choice." ”

"Keep your promise." Cao Qing twisted his pretty face and said coldly: "Take it to see Tao Ying immediately, ask him to do his best to search and rescue my family, and then send us to see my father." ”

"Wait, when did I say I'd send you to your father?" Deputy Director Tao asked in surprise.

"You want to go back?"

Cao Qing was furious, and subconsciously touched the poisonous arrow inserted in his waist, but Deputy Director Tao was quick-eyed, and he had already snatched the poisonous arrow in his hand, threw it away, and then said with a smile: "What I just said was to send your family to see your father, when did you say that you will also be sent to see your father?" ”

"You want to detain me?" Cao Qing shook his eyes and asked, "What are you doing with me?" ”

"Yesterday afternoon, your father sent a messenger to me." Deputy Director Tao took Cao Qing's little hand and said with a smile: "Your father begged me to search and rescue his family on his behalf, that is, to search and rescue you, and then your father also asked the messenger to tell me that if I can find you, among his daughters, I can choose any one of his daughters to be his wife-now, you should know what I detained you for, right?" ”

"What?!" Cao Qing's surprise was not trivial, and then he suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Deputy Director Tao's nose and exclaimed, "You ......, you are Tao Ying?" You're Tao Ying's thief?! ”

"Wrong, I'm Tao Ying, but I'm not a thief." Deputy Director Tao suddenly hugged Cao Qing, smiled next to her pearly earlobes and said, "Also, now you have to call me Xianggong." It doesn't matter if you don't want to, your three younger sisters are good, and I can wait for them to grow up. ”

At the same time, north of Luyang, Cao Boss, who was thinking of his family while marching, suddenly shivered, and at the same time, Cao Boss's war horse accidentally stepped on a sharp stone, and the horse's hooves were injured and hurt so much that people stood up, and Cao Boss fell off the saddle, and his limbs were on the ground with his limbs facing the sky. It seems that there is an evil spirit, rushing up from the soles of my feet? (To be continued.) )
