Chapter 245: Assassination!

After the last tentative battle, Cao Cao and the Sun-Liu alliance both temporarily hung up the exemption card.

Cao Cao needed enough time for his northern soldiers to familiarize themselves with the water and soil south of the Yangtze River and get used to water warfare, and the Jingzhou naval army, which had lost its former fame, had to be retrained in order to regain its combat strength.

It is also worth mentioning that many soldiers have contracted the disease.

The Sun-Liu Alliance, on the other hand, was very concerned about Cao Cao's huge forces, and would never send troops easily until they were sure of defeating Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

In other words, don't look at Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in terms of Cao Cao's troops, how they are talking about the sky and the lotus, but Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of people are still proudly there, pressing them to the death, which makes the Sun-Liu Alliance have to be cautious.

The inevitable result of the two sides striking out is a confrontation between the two sides. Just like the original movie, the Sun-Liu Alliance trained in Chibi, and Cao Cao set up camp directly opposite Chibi.

In the Cao camp that stretched for an unknown number of miles, outside the newly built Qingtian Pavilion, there was a place surrounded by a cloth curtain. In the field, the players of one black and one red are in full swing vying for a keju. Around the venue, a group of soldiers who were allowed to watch the game firmly surrounded the playing field, shouting and cheering for the side they supported. The scene was so lively.

In the Cao camp that stretched for an unknown number of miles, outside the newly built Qingtian Pavilion, there was a place surrounded by a cloth curtain. In the field, the players of one black and one red are in full swing vying for a keju. Around the venue, a group of soldiers who were allowed to watch the game firmly surrounded the playing field, shouting and cheering for the side they supported. The scene was so lively.

Under the long pergola on the north side of the arena, Cao Cao and a group of soldiers sat on Cao Cao's left and right. It is not difficult to see that Cao Cao's left hand is the military generals he brought from the north. Among them are Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Zhang Liao and so on. On Cao Cao's right, there are Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wen Ping and other Jingzhou generals. Although these two people were smiling on the surface and enjoying the Keju game in the field, they secretly looked at each other coldly from time to time and sneered at each other.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, sat firmly in the center, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In addition, Xiao Qiao, one of the two Qiao in Jiangdong, sat on Cao Cao's right hand. She is like a pearl of the night, no matter when and where, she can emit a bright light and attract people's attention - but at this moment, this pearl of the night, this supreme treasure bred by the water of the south of the Yangtze River, but no pair of eyes dare to fall on her - except for Cao Cao!

I saw Cao Cao pick up a cup of hot tea on the desk, first sniffed it, praised "good tea", and poured the tea soup into his mouth as if drinking elixir and jade dew, and then squinted his eyes and savored it, "It's really good tea." Old man...... I can't think of any words to praise this tea. Xiao Qiao, forgive the old man for taking the liberty of making such a good tea

Made. Could it be that there is no trick in this? ”

Xiao Qiao gently fiddled with the tea set in front of her, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, and everything around her seemed to be unable to break her state of mind. After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xiao Qiao raised his head slightly and said, "Where is the trick?" People who have no desires in their hearts, are peaceful and natural, and do not covet all kinds of worldly people, can naturally brew the world's first-class tea. ”

Cao Cao let out an "oh", as if he had an understanding, but he seemed to be confused and said, "So that's the case." Hehe. With a smile, Cao Cao picked up another cup of tea, drank it all, and said: "This kind of good tea, I am afraid that ordinary people may not be blessed." If the old man is just a humble farmer in the mountains, how can he be lucky enough to drink this tea? Hehe. ”

Xiao Qiao said: "If there is a fate, if it is the same thing, how can the little woman be stingy?" ”

The smile on Cao Cao's face dissipated by seven points, but fortunately, he had his self-cultivation, smiled at Xiao Qiao, and looked at the Keju game off the court. Of course, only he knows where his gaze falls. Because no one dared to look directly at Cao Cao.

Xiao Qiao sighed secretly, got up and said, "Prime Minister, I'm a little tired. Please allow me to retire first. ”

Cao Cao said "um", and instructed Xiao Wanqing and An Le: "Take Xiao Qiao down to rest, and take care of it." ”

After Xiao Qiao left, Cao Cao's interest in watching the game was gone, so he also stood up and said, "Zhongqing continue to enjoy this wonderful and lively game, and the old man will not accompany him." ”

All the soldiers hurriedly got up to send them off.

Xu Chu wanted to follow, but Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "You don't have to follow." Let the old man walk alone. With that, he walked in the direction of the tent group. And his destination seems to be the bank of the Yangtze River on the other side of the camp group.

Xu Chu looked at each other like several generals, and Cao Ren, who was dressed in a hundred flowers robe, said, "Zhongkang, you better follow from afar." The prime minister's safety should not be careless! ”

Xu Chu said "yes", and then took a few gold-armored tiger and leopard cavalry warriors to Cao Cao's back from afar.

Cao Cao walked between the tents, and everywhere he passed, the soldiers and generals all bowed down and shouted "Prime Minister". It was in the midst of kneeling and chanting that Cao Cao passed through the tent group and came to the bank of the Yangtze River.

Standing on the cliff bank, Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see the Yangtze River rolling, mighty and mighty, and the eastward flow was gone. And at the end of the sight, is the Chibi Water Village, even if it is separated by a river, Cao Cao can still feel it, and there are people on the other side looking at this side. Who will it be? Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, or that Zhuge villager? No matter which one of them, whether he Cao Cao admits it or not, they are all a group of heroes in this troubled world.

Listening to the whirring sound of the wind blowing from behind, as well as the sound of hunting in his clothes and cloak, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Rolling a river, waves chasing heroes, fame and fortune are all in the middle of laughter." ”

However, at this very moment,

Cao Cao heard a voice from behind him, "Since you have this kind of sigh, why don't you also go to this river to dig for it!?" ”

Cao Cao turned around suddenly, and saw a masked thin man walking out of a rock, turning his hand, but seeing a flash of colorful brilliance, a sharp knife with seven gems on the blade appeared in the hand of the little man, and then rushed towards Cao Cao's side.

"Seven Star Treasure Sword!?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened and his pupils shrank, "Who are you!?" ”

Even at this moment, Cao Cao pressed the sword on his waist with his hand, still showing a powerful might, even the assassin snorted inexplicably, and his body was stunned before continuing to rush towards Cao Cao. In those bright eyes, there was a flame of revenge!

"Hugh injured the prime minister!"

A roar like a tiger suddenly sounded in the distance, and then a black shadow shot out of Xu Chu's hand, and landed on the arm of the thin man with unmistakable accuracy, and suddenly burst out of a bloody flower - it was a small pebble!

The thin man's arm was wounded, and the "Seven Star Treasure Knife" in his hand was almost out of his hand.

Cao Cao suddenly shouted, "Don't hurt her!" ”

However, as he shouted again, Cao Cao also quickly retreated, widening the distance between him and the female assassin.

The thin female assassin did not intend to let Cao Cao go, and shouted coquettishly, "Cao thief takes his life!" I saw that as soon as her left hand flipped over, a delicate hand crossbow was held in her hand, and almost at the same time, a crossbow arrow shot out with a "whoosh", and the tricky crossbow arrow pierced the void and shot straight towards Cao Cao's heart.

Seeing that Cao Cao's life was on the verge of death, Xu Chu's eyes widened, and he suddenly burst into a shout, stepped on the ground, and then punched out a punch, hitting in the void - and then a tiger head air mass with a head like a tiger descending from the mountain struck out of his fist, opened his mouth angrily, and bit on the crossbow arrow that was about to penetrate Cao Cao's heart, and with a "click", the crossbow arrow made of stainless steel was broken in two.

And immediately, Xu Chu punched out another void. This time, the same tiger-shaped air mass rushed out, and with a "bang", it hit the female assassin.

The female assassin screamed, flew out of the cliff bank, and fell into the Yangtze River with a "poof......

"The subordinate escort is late, please forgive ......"

Before Xu Chu finished speaking, he was pushed away by Cao Cao. I saw Cao Cao come to the edge of the cliff, looked at the turbulent river below, and turned back suddenly, "Go down and find me!" To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”

"No!" A golden-armored tiger and leopard rode away in a hurry.

Cao Cao looked at the rolling river below again and muttered to himself: "Seven Star Treasure Sword...... Who are you? ”。
