Chapter 542: Not Willing to Be Lonely
"Luoyang City." Cao Cao sighed softly, the city of Luoyang in the evening was very cold, the wind was blowing, even if he was wearing thick clothes, he could still feel the cold.
The sunset in spring is dusk, shining on the body, and there is only a faint warmth. It stretched Cao Cao's shadow and reflected it on the somewhat mottled city bricks, which seemed lonely and lonely.
Some roads are destined to be lonely, and Cao Cao doesn't know when he understands this, and he doesn't know if he is walking a lonely road now. But it's worth it, isn't it? Some roads, even if they are lonely, even if there is no road under their feet, they still have to be walked.
Kangzhuang Avenue?
It used to be that Cao Cao thought that he was proud of his youth, and when he walked into Luoyang City with filial piety, he became the northern lieutenant, and he was selfless with an iron face, and he was famous in Luoyang City because he whipped the uncle of one of the ten permanent servants. After that, he followed the army to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and became one of the eight captains of the West Park with real military merits, mastering part of the military strength of the West Garden.
Why not? The spring breeze is also proud. However, Cao Cao was not satisfied, in the spring of last year, he was able to get his current achievements, standing on the wall of Luoyang City and looking at the scenery of Luoyang City in the city, even if the spring breeze was cold and biting, he would feel warm and comfortable, and he couldn't stop being proud.
He was standing here now, dressed in a military uniform and wearing a green slug on his waist, but he didn't feel half of the joy in his heart. Right in front of him, what was about to happen, obviously he tried hard to stop it, but he still couldn't stop it, and seeing that it was about to fall into the abyss, this feeling was hovering in Cao Cao's mind all the time, making him uneasy day and night.
Now the situation in Luoyang City, Cao Cao can see it extremely clearly, but others are different. In other words, there are people who can see clearly, but are blinded by their own situation, what they are about to take. Everyone has something to ask for and has some scruples, so Liangzhou Dong Zhuo appeared at this time and became a weighing stone in the middle of the balance between the two parties, no matter who got him, he could immediately suppress the other party and knock it into the abyss.
It's just that it's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God, Cao Cao knows very well that the court is in decline, as long as there are ambitious people, when they see the weakness of the Han family, they will have the mind to replace it. Especially the tiger and wolf division in Liangzhou, at least Cao Cao had seen Dong Zhuo before, and his domineering and arrogant was not at all something that these people in the current court and central government could deal with.
He has a wild nature, a wild nature similar to that of a beast of prey, which can also be said to be a wolf nature. As long as you have enough strength, Dong Zhuo will temporarily suppress it and surrender on the surface, but as long as he shows a little weakness and sees the weakness, then he will suddenly pounce on you and devour you completely.
How can such a person enter Beijing? What's more, it is to bring the army into Beijing.
Looking at Luoyang City under his feet, even after experiencing many ups and downs, Luoyang City is still Luoyang City, with a charming temperament in his eyes. When he first entered Luoyang City, Cao Cao also looked outside the city for a long time, and the walls of Luoyang City left traces in his heart.
Similarly, even if you have been in Luoyang City for so long, every time you stand on the city wall and look at Luoyang City, the kind of mood that once surfaced will resurface. This is the place he wants to protect, not only Luoyang City, but also the entire empire, even if he is only a captain who does not have much power in his hands now, but he is also capable, so Cao Cao did not hesitate.
Sometimes, there is no road, as long as there are people to walk, and there are more people walking, it is a road. Cao Cao felt that he was not alone, at least before him, there were people who walked like this, at least behind him, there would be people who made the same choice.
This is my country, the country that gave birth to me and raised me, so no matter what, Cao Cao will not hesitate to do what he should do. He is not afraid, the reason why people are afraid is probably because of the confusion of the unknown, the worry about the result, and he just needs to do it.
He laughed, took off his helmet, and held it in his hand. The other hand touched his face, and the heat was on the palm of his hand, and the other people should be blushing now. But he Cao Mengde is thick-skinned, thick-skinned and blushing comes slowly, or not at all, so the heat he feels in his palms now is definitely not because of blushing.
He believes that he can do it, and if he doesn't do anything, as long as he does it, then he can. Even if he can't, he has to do it, and he chooses to do it again and again, and there is always a time when he can succeed. Failure is actually not terrible, the terrible thing is that if you fail, you are afraid, or you are afraid from the beginning, there is no choice to start, and there is no choice to continue.
Even if he is a fool, if he does one thing, does more and fails more, he will succeed. Cao Cao thought that he was not stupid and not so stupid, not to mention that he had not been defeated once since he came out. Until recently, he had been frustrated again and again, but he had no superfluous thoughts, no time to be angry or to think about the consequences, he only knew what kind of remorse he would have if he didn't do it.
That's enough.
There is nothing that is not enough, there are too many things that don't need a reason, just know that you want to do it. If you think it's worth it, there's nothing wrong with that.
Cao Cao turned around and looked at the man who didn't know when he came behind him. "Coming?" He spoke up.
"Here we are." The Seven Kills under the mask spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse.
He was dressed very simply, dressed as a common man, and looked almost exactly like the people who came and went at the gates of the city. Not only the dress, but also the temperament is the same, which makes it difficult to distinguish at all.
Cao Cao dared to say that if the other party was mixed in the crowd, he would miss it out without knowing that the other party existed. Coupled with the ability of seven killings, which is like a ghost and quietly appears behind others, if it is assassinated at night, almost no one can guard against it.
He was not in wartime, so his vigilance around him was not so high, not to mention that today it was Cao Cao's rotating duty on the city wall, and the ladders that could ascend the city wall were all controlled by the soldiers of the West Garden under his command. No one could get close to him silently at this time, not even seven kills, these soldiers were not made of mud and wood, and it was absolutely impossible for them to pass through them without making a sound. Not to mention the height of the city wall of Luoyang City, it is difficult to climb up from under the city by any means, even if there are really special means, but it is not yet night, whoever climbs the city wall is equivalent to a target, looking for death.
The reason why Seven Kills was able to come up was because he had already ordered it, otherwise, behind Cao Mengde's back, he would not be exposed to anyone at will, and someone would stand behind him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, he had only met the Seven Killings twice, the previous one was before the Battle of Julu began, and now it was the second time. The first time, the voice of the seven kills was very rough and stiff, as if it was deducted from the throat, which made people feel very harsh when they heard it, but now this voice is not so harsh, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no problem, no matter who is the voice after the wind and cold, the voice will change.
Without delving into this question, Cao Cao just stared at the other party and said, "Now it seems that you are going to accept this commission from me." ”
"Of course." The Seven Killings were concise and to the point, without much to say, and the face covered by the mask had no way for others to see his expression.
Even if a pair of eyes are exposed, there is a dead sleep in the middle, and there is no excess emotion at all. In the face of such eyes, if it weren't for the eyelids of these eyes, they would blink from time to time, and I am afraid that it would make people think that this is a dead person.
Cao Cao didn't care about this, he didn't care what the reaction of the seven killings was, he just had to use it anyway. As long as he can make a contribution to his planning, he doesn't care who the other party will be or what he has done, as long as he can do things for him at this time.
The power in his hands is too little, and all the forces that can be united, Cao Cao will unite. He must condense all his power into one in order to achieve the means he wants to achieve, so no matter whether the Seven Kills is a killer or someone else, Cao Cao will use it, rest assured and bold.
This boldness is based on Cao Cao's self-confidence, his control, even if the other party suddenly exceeds his control, Cao Cao will make him regret it. What's more, from the beginning, Cao Cao would not tell the core part of the seven killings, since it is a knife, then it can be used to kill, and other things that you don't want to do don't have to worry about.
"That's good. You give an address for the deposit, and I will send someone to send it. Cao Cao said.
There was a contact, a cooperation and trust is also a little bit, Cao Cao also has some understanding of the actions of the Seven Killings, and the other party also has a role that cannot be ignored in the battle of Julu, not to mention that after the war, Cao Cao went to the place where they attacked and killed Zhang Jiao to check the scene, and he also saw the dead corpses in that place with his own eyes, otherwise he would not have trusted these killers casually.
"Okay." Seven Kills responded, he nodded, and continued to add: "According to the rules of the Killer Building, the deposit will not be refunded regardless of whether it is successful or not. Most of the failures of the commission are accompanied by the death of the killer, and this kind of deposit is the money to buy a life. ”
Seven Kills rarely said two more words, this is because it was Cao Cao who was standing in front of him, and it was precisely because of Cao Cao's future that Seven Kills would choose to take over this commission. Among the many commissions they accepted from the Killer Building this time, they can actually be divided into three forces, one is the Ten Standing Servants, one is the general He Jin, and the other is Cao Cao.
This is what the killer building summed up from a lot of intelligence, and from the targets and requirements of the commission one by one, it is not difficult to deduce which force is being dealt with, and it is not difficult to deduce which force is making the move. For their killer building, the collection of intelligence is a very important part, not to mention the danger of Luoyang City, but it is the most dangerous place in the entire thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty.
In the imperial capital, there are too many capable people, and the players who can mix in Luoyang City are not simple people. Not to mention that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the degree of security is extremely strong, the army is ready to arrive at any time, and there are hidden high-strength generals, which can be said to be the Longtan Tiger's Den. And now the atmosphere in Luoyang City is tense, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see it, how can they not know about the killer building?
Once you make a mistake and make a mistake, the killer building will be hit hard. The killers who are now mobilized in Luoyang City have arrived, and those who are on the road are all elites in the killer building, and the lineup is even more luxurious than the original Julu City sniping Zhang Jiao! If you die in Luoyang City, although these killers mobilized now are all players and can be resurrected, it will take a long time to recover their strength after they die.
After the battle of Julu City, the Killer Building also suffered heavy losses, and the strength of the Seven Kills itself also dropped a lot. The Killer House had been hidden for several months before they finally recovered, and this time, they were in the maelstrom again.
Cao Cao's forces are the weakest of the three forces, but it is worth it, because the Seven Killings are gambling on the future of the other party. In the case that the commission remuneration is about the same, he did not choose the icing on the cake, but the charcoal in the snow, he chose Cao Cao!
This is gambling, gambling has both losses and wins, even if the killer building does not need to gamble, it can move freely among the three forces. But this is for the sake of the future, a killer organization, can never confront the forces of the bright side, cannot confront the army, and after Cao Cao gains power, it is too difficult to get closer. At that time, maybe the killer building in the eyes of the other party has become a thorn in the flesh, and it must be eradicated, or it is the power to control it!
It's better to walk with the other party now, showing enough power for Cao Cao to pay attention to!
What if you lose your bet now? In the future, the seven kills will be won, as long as Cao Cao will not be killed halfway, then there will be no problem.
"Of course." Cao Cao's answer to the Seven Killings did not have a look of displeasure on his face, strictly speaking, when he was julu, one of the commissions he commissioned, the Killer Building, was not completed.
But Cao Cao has seen their efforts, so Cao Cao paid a little more. In the same way, he is also very tolerant of failure, and that horn is not a person who can easily kill to death, so it can be said that the commission he put forward is too difficult for the killer building. They did it, and it was a waste of the trust that Cao Cao had once given.
"It's nice to complete the commission, but it's not perfect, so even if I fail, I don't care too much." Cao Cao replied.
"That's right. There should be someone else who has issued a commission, and now in Luoyang City, the night is really a little cold. He asked.
Seven Kills was silent and did not speak, the rule of the Killer Building is not to reveal the identity of any client, even the identity of the client who did not accept the commission. Rules are very important in their killer industry, even if he is the owner of the building, Seven Killings will not set this precedent, even if there is no one else here, no one else will know.
"I see." Cao Cao smiled softly, everything was speechless. Seven Kills' current silent attitude was undoubtedly a tacit acquiescence in his eyes.
Sure enough, there are too many people in Luoyang City who are not willing to be lonely.
