Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Sword Master Descends the Mountain
"Third son, that "Luo Shen Fu" must be planted by people with ulterior motives, and I want the eldest prince to be angry with you. "In Cao Zhi's house, Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, made an analysis.
"This endowment is exquisite, the rhetoric is gorgeous, it can be called a work of heaven and man, and Zijian is ashamed of himself. Cao Zhi kept his hands on the volume, admiring the "Luo Shen Fu" created in his handwriting with relish, completely intoxicated by the picturesque artistic conception.
"Third Prince!" Yang Xiu drank solemnly, "Now is not the time to appreciate poetry, the problem is very serious!"
"Don't worry, my eldest brother won't harm me, if he wants to harm me, I can't hide from it, that's it, that's it. Cao Zhi was indifferent.
Yang Xiu hurriedly said: "Do you want to sit still and wait for the third prince to die? I, Yang Dezu, am just a master of dancing and writing, and I can accompany the third prince to recite poems and write poems, and drink and play chess, but in terms of strategizing, how can I be the opponent of Guo Junshi and Mr. Sima? The eldest prince may not be bothered with you, but don't forget, Sima Yi next to the eldest prince is not easy to mess with, and if he wants to deal with the third prince, it is not much more difficult than pinching an ant to death." ”
"Dezu, don't drive a wedge between me and my eldest brother. Mr. Sima is a pillar of the country, and he is by no means a villain who stirs up right and wrong. ”
"Third son, you are too simple. Yang Xiu shook his head and sighed, "If you were born in an ordinary family, the eldest prince would never harm you, but don't forget, your father is the hero of the world, called the king and the marquis, and there will be a fight for the position of the son of the world in the future." ”
"Shizi, I'm not interested, as long as I can drink a little wine every day, see the scenery, and write poems and endowments, I will be satisfied. ”
"Alas......" Yang Xiu turned around in disappointment, "If we don't fight for the big position, there will be no place for our subordinates to die." ”
At the banquet, Sima Yi asked Zhen Mi to constantly persuade Cao Pi to drink, Cao Pi was nothing more than praising Zhen Mi's beauty, praising Sima's god, and he was in a good mood, and he didn't notice that Sima Yi present was always flirting with Zhen Mi, who was accompanying him to drink, and Qiu Bo secretly sent it.
Sima Yi secretly cast elemental magic to control the alcohol concentration in Cao Pi's cup, so the young and vigorous Cao Pi was drunk and unconscious after a few drinks. Since the subordinates had already retreated, Zhen Mi and Sima Yi quickly walked into the courtyard in pairs.
"Zhongda...... Why do you want to sacrifice me to Cao Pi? Could it be that I am not good enough?" Zhen Mi looked at Sima Yi with resentment.
Sima Yi swallowed his saliva and sighed: "I know that I am ashamed of you to do this, but for the sake of my Sima clan's great cause, please understand my hardships." ”
"Well, I promised you that I would do anything for you, but I also promised myself that you would not marry in this life. ”
"Mi'er...... You must marry Cao Pi!" Sima Yi said solemnly, "I just ruined your life like this, but I really can't marry you." I admit that I have love for you, but ...... It's hard to disobey your destiny......"
"No, I can't marry Cao Pi because I love you deeply. Zhen Mi's shining eyes shone with a determined gaze.
"Alas...... I'm sorry, but that's not up to me. Sima Yi sighed and turned his back, unable to bear to look directly at Zhen Mi's sad look, "Cao Pi will become an emperor after a long time, and then you will be the queen, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth, so why do you bother to stalk me?"
Zhen Mi also sighed lightly at the moonlight, and said with a wry smile: "You Sima Zhongda is not a secular villain, and neither am I, Zhen Mi." I don't care about glory and wealth, and I don't expect myself to be able to honor the world. Without you, even if there is a mountain of gold, silver and jewelry, it is empty. ”
"Mi'er...... My good Mi'er......" Sima Yi turned to Zhen Mi, stroked her soft hair swaying in the wind, and suppressed the bitterness in her heart with a faint smile, "Our personal love is only a part of the world, and my Sima family's great cause is to save the world, so everything must focus on the overall situation." I, Sima Yi, swore that I would make up for this incomplete love, even if I waited for the next life, I would do it. ”
In the hazy moonlight, Sima Yi kissed Zhen Mi's lips affectionately. For the sake of Sima's great cause, let Zhen Mi make any sacrifice, she will have no regrets.
Cao Pi, Zhen Mi and Sima Yi, the three of them can meet every day, mingle every day, play and play, drink and talk, go on outings and hunting, day after day, they have become a tacit iron triangle, until the eve of Sima Yi's southern expedition with the army.
On the streets of Yecheng, the three of them rode in the same car, talking and laughing. However, Sima Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and Cao Pi hurriedly asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"Flash!" Sima Yi waved his hand violently, and Cao Pi and Zhen Mi fell out of the car at the same time. Immediately afterwards, there was a violent noise on the ground, and then the people on the street let out all kinds of frightened cries and fled like locusts.
Cao Pi and Zhen Mi were both stunned. I saw the earth in front of me tearing apart in a terrifying arc, and the weird screaming sound was terrifying. Sima Yi heard that there was a huge creature wriggling under the ground.
"Roar!" a sharp roar stopped, and a giant cyan centipede, a hundred people long, poked its head out. The horses were frightened, neighing and racing. The cyan centipede burst into the air, rushing towards Sima Yi with a fierce momentum, and its speed was even faster than that of a war horse.
"Zhongda!" Cao Pi and Zhen Mi's hearts both rose to their throats.
Sima Yi stood upright, immediately took out a handful of purple thunder and lightning in his palm, and smiled coldly: "This is the monster of the Heavenly Continent in Master Zuo Ci's mouth, the hundred-legged demon." It seems to have been dormant for a long time, hehe. Demon King, can't you wait to get rid of me?"
The hundred-legged demon's blood mouth was furious, and he couldn't wait to swallow Sima Yi. Sima Yi thundered angrily in his hand, and the thunder and lightning all hit the hundred-legged demon's heavenly spirit cover, and the hundred-legged demon's body immediately trembled, apparently suffering from the paralyzing effect of thunder and lightning.
"Mi'er, you run away first, I'm going to help Mr. Sima. After Cao Pi regained his composure, he resolutely raised his sword and rushed towards the hundred-legged demon.
Zhen Mi looked at the battlefield with affection, and Sima Yi's determined look of seeing death as if she was at home just now had deeply imprinted it in her mind. Sima Yi and Cao Pi, the two men who love her deeply, are now fighting for her, but she can only silently cheer for Sima Yi, whom he loves deeply, in her heart.
"Childe, let's go!" Sima Yi was shocked when he saw Cao Pi entering the battlefield. This Cao Pi actually wants to be a hero at such a time, it's just too messy!
"No, Zihuan is willing to protect Mr., and must not let this centipede spirit hurt Mr.!" Cao Pi, who was strong in blood, shouted, and the sword swung down like a meteor and landed on the head of the hundred-legged demon.
The hundred-legged demon has rough skin and thick flesh, and Cao Pi's saber can't hurt it for half a point. Cao Pi danced with a sword, but it was in vain, the hundred-legged demon recovered its state instead, and a scream made Cao Pi frightened.
Sima Yi closed his eyes and recited the incantation, and in an instant, the wind was fierce, and the strong wind turned into a blade-like afterimage, slashing at the hundred-legged demon's body, and green blood splashed everywhere, but with Sima Yi's current mana, it was not enough to kill such a high-level monster.
The hundred-legged demon was restrained by the wind blade and couldn't move for a while, and Cao Pi continued to charge fearlessly with his sword, and kept slashing at the hundred-legged demon, but as a result, the hundred-legged demon was unharmed after all, and Cao Pi himself was shocked back by the demonic aura of the hundred-legged demon again and again.
"Thunder Tribulation, Heavenly Fury!" Sima Yi stretched his fingers forward, and the thunder suddenly rose, striking the hundred-legged demon with the wind blade. The hundred-legged demon let out a terrible roar, but it was not substantially created, as if it was completely immune to Sima Yi's magic.
Sima Yi frowned: "Damn...... Can't I even kill this thing?"
However, just when Sima Yi was helpless against the hundred-legged demon, an extremely strong murderous aura suddenly came from the other side of the street. That murderous aura swept like a storm, and even Sima Yi was almost out of breath by this murderous aura.
"Whoosh swish...... just a few gorgeous afterimages flashed, and in just a moment when Sima Yi and Cao Pi raised their eyes, the body of the hundred-legged demon had been cut into dozens of pieces of minced meat, and they were evenly scattered around the street, and they couldn't die anymore.
In the middle of the street, a man in white with a disheveled hair was standing heroically with a shining sword.
Zhen Mi saw that the hundred-legged demon was dead, and she was so excited that she ran out. All three of them walked up to the man at the same time and bowed down to thank him for saving his life.
"I am the great apprentice of the Sword Saint Gu Feng Ling, Sword Master Shi A. The man raised his head and smiled heartily, "I also know the three of you, Cao Pi, the eldest prince of the Cao family, Zuo Ci Immortal and Sima Yi, the disciple of Master Hu Zhao, and the beauty Zhen Mi who descended from Luoshen." ”
After speaking, Shi Ah also bowed humbly, and then said: "This time I went down the mountain, I want to accept a disciple to pass on the legendary swordsmanship of the ancient family." ”
"Zihuan's swordsmanship is clumsy, I am willing to worship the sword master Shi as a teacher, and beg the sword master to preach to Zihuan. "Cao Pi immediately knelt down to worship the teacher.
Shi A laughed: "The scene of the eldest prince fighting to the death with the hundred-legged demon just now can be seen clearly. The eldest son's actions are in place, and his courage is commendable, but he lacks experience, so he rushed to your courage just now, and he settled the son. ”
"Really, thank you, Swordsman. Master, please bow down to the apprentice!" Cao Pi was obviously ecstatic.
"Oh, yes. My third junior brother Xia Houen heard that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was going to march south, and he had gone down the mountain to return to the barracks to serve his life. Shi Ah Shun said.
"Ancient Wind Spirit...... Could it be the Sword Saint who had defeated Zuo Ci and Tong Yuan?" Shi A's appearance made Sima Yi thoughtful, and the existence of Gu Fengling and Xia Houen also had to make him more vigilant against the masters.
In a few moments, Sima Yi had already come up with a poisonous plan to get rid of Xia Houen. As for Gu Fengling, he wasn't too worried, after all, people were not people who chased fame and fortune.
The 800,000-strong army sounded the horn of going south, but Sima Yi smelled the breath of the demon clan that was about to move in the dark. Before leaving, taking advantage of Chunhua's first entry into the army, he made an appointment to meet Zhen Mi again.
"Mi'er...... Be obedient, take care of yourself, don't worry about me, I will definitely return triumphantly. Staring at the teary-eyed Zhen Mi, Sima Yi touched her cheek and comforted.
Sima Yi knew better than anyone else that this expedition was just getting into the wishful pocket of a certain demon king, holding his salary to fight the fire, and it was impossible for him to return triumphantly, but he still couldn't bear to let Zhen Mi worry about himself.
Zhen Mi nodded vigorously: "Well, Zhongda, fight well, my heart is with you thousands of miles away." ”
