Chapter 6 The Early Morning of the Green Sun
Last night's rain has been falling until now, but it has become a little smaller, and the thunder last night woke Cao Yun up a few times.
The rain is accompanied by the spring breeze, and the wind is always mixed with the smell of some grass, which makes people feel very comfortable after smelling.
Standing by the window, looking at the drizzle outside the window, Cao Yun didn't know whether to go to the barracks for a while.
"It's raining heavily, so it stands to reason that Mr. Wang won't go to the barracks to teach me. Cao Yun looked out the window and thought of the heavy rain again.
Some common sense is indeed like this, but Cao Yun feels that Wang Yue is not an ordinary person. If Wang Yue went and Cao Yun didn't, it would definitely be judged that the perseverance was not enough.
"How can a mere little rain stop me from cultivating martial arts!" Cao Yun said in a deep voice, and then asked the maid Xiaoyao to prepare the horse.
Cao Yun originally wanted to wear a hat, but he thought that he would get wet sooner or later when practicing in the school field, so he simply didn't wear it to avoid trouble.
After hurriedly finishing breakfast, Cao Yun galloped to the barracks.
There were few pedestrians on the streets, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Horses' hooves splashed in the streets.
Suddenly, Cao Yun stopped at once.
The horse neighed in the sky.
Three men with blue hats, robes, and swords at their waists stood in the middle of the street. Cao Yun's heart sank. At this time, the rain was already pouring, and the raindrops fell on Cao Yun, and Cao Yun felt a burst of pressure.
With a few "clangs", the three clothed people in the street drew their swords and moved.
Cao Yun's first reaction was to rein in the horse and flee, but he felt a cold wind blowing in his neck, and immediately turned over and dismounted, dodging the sword that was the first to be stabbed among the clothed people.
Three rain trails swept through the air, and the three swords stabbed straight at Cao Yun. Cao Yun turned over a few times and dodged two swords, but one of the swords still scratched Cao Yun's left shoulder.
The man in the cloak was very fast, followed by three swords stabbing at him. There was no move, it was just a simple straight stab, but Cao Yun could only dodge in embarrassment.
Laugh at!
Cao Yun's left hand was cut with a wound, which seemed to have cut a meridian, and blood gushed out at once!
Regardless of the pain, Cao Yun ran into an alleyway after a few dodges and fled along the alleyway. The three men in the coat followed closely behind.
Call!
Someone in the cloak shot a dart at Cao Yun's head, and Cao Yun, who was running in front, didn't seem to notice it, and still ran away in a straight line, and did not turn around when he ran through an intersection.
Just as the dart was about to hit Cao Yun, a raindrop flew from the right side of the crossing, and the raindrop was very large, and it missed the direction of the dart and shot straight at the wall in front of Cao Yun.
Cao Yun turned around in shock, and happened to see a person wearing a big hat, holding a flat pole, limping towards the three clothed people. Cao Yun immediately pulled out the dart inserted into the wall and rushed towards the clothed man.
After a brief exchange of hands between the three clothed men and the man with the flat burden, they turned over and leaped back, but the man with the flat shoulder did not catch up. When the three people in the clothes retreated, Cao Yun also rushed to the side of the hats.
"Uncle Big Head?" Cao Yun exclaimed.
The hat man is Zhang Datou, and the reason why Cao Yun called out at a glance is because the original Cao Yun especially likes the puppets sold by Zhang Datou. He learned carving from Zhang Datou for a while, and later carved a wooden statue with the help of Zhang Datou and gave it to He Shidi.
"You're all right, are you? come to me and take care of your wounds. Zhang Datou looked at Cao Yun's wound and said.
Zhang Datou went to another alley to pick up the burden and then led Cao Yun to his shop, Cao Yun originally wanted to help Zhang Datou carry the burden. However, Zhang Datou pointed to Cao Yun's wound and didn't say much.
After briefly treating the wound at Zhang Datou's puppet shop, Cao Yun pondered who had sent someone to assassinate him.
"It seems that Liu Yu's illness is very serious. Cao Yun secretly said in his heart, it seemed that he had already known everything.
Cao Yun had already finished fusing his memories, so he naturally knew the situation in Qingyang City very well, and he also knew who in the city wanted him to die.
Qingyang City is the seat of Qingzhou, so the state pastor also lives in Qingyang City, and there are two major forces in the city, the power of the state pastor Liu Yu and the power of Taishou Cao Xian.
The reason why Cao Xian's power can compete with Liu Yu is because Liu Yu himself is not from Qingzhou, and he was able to enter Qingzhou because of the support of the three Qingzhou families, the Cao family, the Cai family and the Kuai family. But now that the Cai family and the Kuai family have declined, the Cao family has become dominant, not only Cao Xian is the Taishou of Qingyang City, but Cao Hao is also the guard of Qingyang City, controlling the military and politics of Qingyang.
Moreover, Cao Xian himself is a great martial arts master and a Confucian scholar, so there are many martial arts disciples under the seat, and many protégés are now serving as civil and military officials in various cities in Qingzhou, so the influence of the Cao family in Qingzhou is actually greater than that of Liu Yu.
Liu Yu himself is a Confucian student, with a gentle temperament, although Cao Xian also conducts power games, but the means are within the acceptable range of everyone, but Liu Yu's second son Liu Shan is different. Liu Yu has a total of two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Liu Zhoushan joined a Fangwai sect, and the daughter was married to the Emperor of Great Qin, so the state pastoral position was naturally taken over by the second son Liu Shan. Liu Shan has a deep background in self-sustainment, and if he wants to dominate Qingzhou, what he thinks about every day is either to subdue Cao Yun or eradicate the Cao family.
Liu Shan was gifted, he became a warrior at the age of fifteen, and is now a martial arts master. It is also quite successful in Confucianism and Taoism, although it has not raised a heroic righteousness, but poetry and books can be called a leader among the young people in Qingzhou. Liu Shan went around the young people of Qingzhou, and he also wanted to take Cao Yun under his seat many times, but Cao Yun was naturally unwilling. Liu Shan is a small person, but if he has some talent and does not enter his disciple, he will be extremely suppressed in Qingzhou.
Although Cao Yun will not be suppressed by Liu Shan and leave Qingzhou, he also does not want to integrate into the circle of talented and beautiful people in Qingzhou. In the entire Qingyang City, only He Shidi, who is both talented and good-looking, is not afraid of Liu Shan and is willing to deal with Cao Yun.
This is also the reason why Cao Yun is willing to be used by He Shidi all the time, so that he later developed feelings. Of course, Zhang Zixi, who only moved from Xuzhou last year, was not afraid of Liu Shan, and this Zhang Zixi's grandfather was Zhang Heng, a scholar in the Ming and Emperor periods! The Zhang family was also a family, but it was only because of the Yellow Turban Turmoil that they moved to Qingyang, Qingzhou.
"Last month, there was news that Liu Yu was sick in **, and his mind was not very clear. Someone came to assassinate me today, it must be that Liu Yu has died, then Liu Shan wants to control the power of Qingzhou by thunderous means. Cao Yun thought about it leisurely.
"Hmph, this Liu Shan is the organ is guilty of it, my grandfather and father don't have the mind to control Qingzhou. He was so anxious that he sent someone to assassinate me, I am afraid that he will also attack my father and grandfather, who are themselves great masters of martial arts, and it is naturally impossible to send someone to assassinate them, at most he will remove my father and grandfather from their positions. Cao Yun pondered the possible causes and consequences.
Thinking about this, Cao Yun stood up and was about to leave Zhang Datou's shop.
"Are you going to go out now?" asked Zhang Datou worriedly.
"Don't worry about Uncle Datou, now that the rain is light outside, there should be a lot of pedestrians on the street. It's not going to be easy to assassinate me again, I'll be more careful. Cao Yun said that he was about to walk out of the shop.
"I heard that you've been fighting with someone for three years?" Zhang Datou asked nonchalantly.
Cao Yun nodded a little embarrassedly
