Seeing that the uncle spoke, the two stepped forward and said.

Duan Shuiqing said: "As early as when the first emperor was still the prince, my uncle served by his side, and when the first emperor ascended to the throne, my uncle was even more loyal and dedicated to serving, called the monarch and minister, but in fact, he was a sibling, and loved the house and Wu, so he named his father as the hereditary replacement of the 'King of Dian'. ”

Duan Shan Ming said: "The first emperor died, Dong Zhuo took power, forcibly took away the position of 'King of Dian', gave it to the barbarian king Meng, and even expelled my Duan clan from Yunnan and scattered all over the country. My father was angry and drove west, and my two brothers had to make a living by selling horses, secretly forming a 'horse gang' and contacting my uncle in order to make a comeback. “

Duan Jue looked around and said with pity: "There is no need to tell you these things, but Dong Zhuo's old thief is already the public enemy of the world, and you are all persecuted by him, and you hate it to the core, it is better for everyone to join forces, and everyone will be beneficial at that time." “

"Phew," Cao Cao disdained, "The country hates the family feud, and the husband swears to die, how can he use it for trading!"

"Of course you can, my Duan clan has regained the position of 'King of Dian', and your nephew will be reinstated to the position of Tai Lieutenant, the best of both worlds, why not?"

"You flatter Dong Zhuo, but on the contrary, join the 'Hongmen', and rebel against him, two-faced and three-faced, they can't spare you. You also said that Lu Bu will come to Qinghe in a few days, and it will be up to you to explain when the time comes?"

"Shui Qing's nephew picked a Western Regions god horse red rabbit horse from the horse gang and sent it to Lu Bu; Shan Ming's nephew invited Leng Yanqiu, the 'Youzhou Hero', to go to Guantao County to wait for Lu Bu, this person claims to be the first in the world, and he is dedicated to practicing martial arts, and he does not hesitate to kill his wife and children with his own hands, and has become an obsessed demon. With this person and a horse, it is enough to drag Lu Bu in Guantao, and the old slave can grab the bow and sword first. “

"It's a pity that you wasted your efforts, Cao Cao and the 'Qinghong Sword' are here, and it is easy to grab the sword, unless you kill Cao Cao. ”

This is said categorically, loudly, and there is no room for it.

"If it weren't for the appearance of the 'Qinghong Sword' and the 'Overlord Sword', we could have waited until tomorrow. Zhang Zhaokai, tomorrow is your 100th birthday, and if you don't hand over the divine bow, then the birthday and the sacrifice day will be done together. “

Duan Jue had run out of patience and gave an ultimatum.

"The old man lives a hundred years old, but he is not as good as Cao Gongzi when things happen, the country hates the present, what is the honor and disgrace of a family?"

"Okay, okay, it's easy to kill you, old horseman, do you really want to take the lives of the whole clan? ”

At the sound of an order, two officers and soldiers brought in a man with a big tie, Duan Jue kicked him to the ground, and the bright ghost head knife was on his neck, and shouted: "If you don't agree, I will send him back to the west with a knife." ”

Everyone watched carefully, only to find that this man who had been tortured and whose flesh and blood were blurred was Zhang Kexi, the grandson of the Zhang family's eldest house.

"Kexi, what's wrong with you?"

"He entered the county government at night, intending to rape, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, he should be beheaded, yes or no, between your thoughts. ”

Zhang Zhaokai looked at his grandson, his heart was like a knife. Zhang Kexi tried to open his eyes and shook his head gently: "Fourth uncle, don't... ”

Before the words fell, there was a 'click', and Zhang Kexi's head fell to the ground. Duan Jue was already a little annoyed, and almost lost patience: "Zhang Zhaokai, if you hesitate, your Zhang clan will be wiped out." Master Kong, I order you to personally escort the old man and go to the ancestral hall to get the bow. “

Seeing that the county guard was a little hesitant, Duan Jue's eyes turned red: "Master Kong, don't forget that your family is in my hands, don't you even want your family?"

The matter has come to this point, and the lives of Lord Kong's whole family can no longer be compensated, Zhang Zhaokai said calmly: "Lord Kong doesn't have to be embarrassed, please go to the ancestral hall with the old man." ”

All the old men followed, and Zhang Zhaokai shouted: "No one is allowed to move." ”

Cao Cao said: "Let the brothers accompany the old man." The old patriarch nodded. These words are exactly what Duan Jue wants, so the divine bow and the famous sword will be received in the ancestral hall.

"It's really a fart to take off your pants and fart, let's go!" the officers and soldiers crowded out the door, and the rest of the people in the hall all sat back on their stools in shock, not knowing what would happen next.

Qinghe City, Zhang's ancestral hall.

This is the northwest corner of Qinghe City, and the entire Qinghe City has a low terrain, but there is a high platform naturally generated here. In front of it is the rolling Qingshui River, mighty and mighty, from south to north, rushing down. On the other side of the river is a big mountain that rises from the flat ground and is called Woniu Mountain.

Qingshui River originates from the ancient road of the Yellow River 600 miles away, when passing through Qinghe County, it spared a large circle of evil under Woniu Mountain, but brought a large area of alluvial plain to this place, the water is abundant and the fish is fat, the mountains are green and fertile, here is the junction of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and it is also the junction of Julu County and Qinghe County, all separated by the Qingshui River.

Zhang's ancestral hall is built on this high platform, under the stage is the Taotao River, opposite is the towering mountain. The scale of the ancestral hall is not large, but it is majestic and magnificent, the simplicity of the appearance can hardly hide the solemn atmosphere inside, when was this ancient ancestral hall built, even the old people in the Zhang clan can not say clearly.

A group of officers and soldiers watched Zhang Zhaokai and others and slowly came to the front of the ancestral hall.

Duan Jue ordered the officers and soldiers to surround the ancestral hall, and led dozens of people through the small courtyard and into the inner hall, which was filled with smoke and dim light, and the flickering candlelight reflected the golden statues of the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhaokai trembled, came to the golden statue, lit three incense sticks on the candle flame with trembling hands, inserted it into the incense burner, and knelt on the ground, and suddenly burst into tears: "Zhang Zhaokai, the one hundred and thirty-third generation of the Zhang family, knock on the ancestor, you are always in the spirit of the sky, but you want to bless the Zhang family to turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious in distress." ”

Due to the excitement, which caused a burst of coughing, he gasped for a long time, and continued: "Ancestor Gong, now that my Zhang family has encountered a great disaster, I have no choice but to open the ancestral hall without permission and disturb the purity of the first ancestor. The eunuch Duan Jue, in the name of the imperial court, forcibly demanded the 'Qiankun Bow', where to go, and hoped that the ancestor would make it clear. With that, he landed on his forehead and kowtowed a few times.

Duan Jue was supposed, and Kong Taishou also stepped forward, respectfully put on a stick of incense, and whispered to Zhang Zhaokai: "Old patriarch, the matter has come to this, this 'Qiankun Bow'... ？”

Zhang Zhaokai did not answer, and still kept kowtowing to the golden statue.

Kong Taishou looked back at Duan Jue helplessly, and asked what to do next with his eyes?

Duan Jue gritted his teeth, stepped forward in person, and also lit a pillar of incense, and was about to insert it into the incense burner, but Gao Xiang suddenly broke into several sections.

Cao Cao saw it from a distance and said, "It seems that the ancestor and his old man are unwilling to accept your pillar of incense." ”

Duan Jue was furious, lit the pillar incense again, and said sharply: "Ancestor Gong, can your old man really bear to cut himself off from the imperial court? This pillar of incense represents the respect of the imperial court, and your old man will have to bear it if he can't bear it, and he will have to bear it if he can't bear it!"

As he spoke, he inserted Gao Xiang into the incense burner and said proudly: "The ancestor received this pillar of incense from the imperial court, which means that his old man has agreed to secondment the divine bow, Zhang Zhaokai, don't waste any more time, hurry up and offer the bow, otherwise I will not blame me for being disrespectful to the gods." ”

Duan Jue walked in front of the two nephews and winked, and the two nodded in unison.

Looking at the tone of his speech, he has the posture of tearing down this ancestral hall.

Zhang Zhaokai burst into tears, stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Young Master Cao, please come over to meet the ancestor father." ”

It should have been like this a long time ago, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to offer incense.

"Please turn the incense burner to the left. ”

Cao Cao exerted his strength, and the 'creaking' sound he heard touched something, only to see a huge iron basket on the roof being hung by iron cables and slowly landing, Zhang Zhaokai took the opportunity to whisper: "The divine bow must not fall into the hands of the eunuchs, please Cao Gongzi carry the divine bow, escape to the Woniu Villa on the other side, and hand it over to my grandson Zhang Liao, please." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the old patriarch meant, and he nodded solemnly.

The iron basket fell, Zhang Zhaokai picked up the 'Qiankun Bow', and in the dim light, everyone saw that the appearance of the Divine Bow was ordinary, no different from the ordinary bow, and it was covered with dust, which looked very inconspicuous.

Zhang Zhaokai handed the divine bow to Cao Cao, "Son, go quickly." “

Duan Jue laughed: "None of you can leave, give it to me." ”

Cao Cao and Xiahoudun protected the old patriarch, protected their swords in front of them, and cut down the two officers and soldiers who rushed up, so frightened that none of the remaining people would be the first to rush forward.

Retreating to the courtyard, Duan Qi personally hacked to death several retreating officers and soldiers, shouting, "Those who retreat, behead." "The military order is like a mountain, and the officers and soldiers have to rush forward.

Cao Cao and Xiahoudun stood in front of Zhang Zhaokai, brandished their swords, and killed more than ten officers and soldiers in a row, and the corpses in the small courtyard of the ancestral hall were lying sideways, and blood was flowing.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and it turned out that hundreds of descendants of the Zhang family spontaneously came, led by Zhang Zhaohuai and others, holding all kinds of weapons and even farm tools, and rushed over to protect the ancestral hall.

The officers and soldiers surrounding the ancestral hall immediately aimed their weapons at this group of people, only Duan Jue gave an order, and immediately started to kill, the number of people on both sides was almost the same, but these officers and soldiers were well-trained, and it was much easier to deal with this group of scholars and farmers.

In the form of a crisis, Zhang Zhaokai said loudly: "Don't do anything, Cao Gongzi, don't care about the old decay, hurry up and take the divine bow away." ”

Duan Jue put the ghost head knife on his neck and shouted: "Hurry up and hand over the divine bow, otherwise you will kill all your people." ”

Looking at the old patriarch Zhang Zhaokai again, his eyes stared at Duan Jue angrily, and he suddenly bit off his tongue, and sprayed Duan Jue's face with blood and flesh, causing his eyes to widen to death.

"How can this be reasonable", Duan Jue was annoyed and ashamed, cut down Zhang Zhaokai's body with a knife, and swung the knife directly to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was sad and heartbroken, and was about to avenge the old patriarch, when he stabbed Duan Jue in the face with a move' 'Tiger Jumping Stream'.

Duan Jue's ghost head knife knocked the 'Qinghong Sword' horizontally, the blade stood upright and pushed forward, slashed Cao Cao's right hand, the right hand just dodged, the ghost head knife reached the throat again, Cao Cao protected the 'Qinghong Sword' in front, the ghost head knife pressed down hard, and forced Cao Cao to bend his knees, and his body kept squatting.

Don't look at Duan Jue's thin and withered, his internal strength is so strong, he is afraid that his eldest brother will suffer a loss, Xiahoudun stabbed Duan Jue's left ribs on the side to relieve Cao Cao. Duan Jue took advantage of the situation to kick Cao Cao in the chest, kicked him over, turned around and did not avoid the ghost-headed knife, and he didn't know what kind of kung fu he was, as if there were several knives, the knife was close to Xiahou Xuan's body, and he cut his clothes a few times with a few knives.

Duan Qi's knife technique, unlike Central Plains Kung Fu, looks weird, but it is very practical, he almost attached his body to Xiahoudun's body, Xiahoudun could even hear the other party's heartbeat, the ghost head knife left stab, another knife, in an instant, Xiahoudun's clothes were cut to pieces.

What kind of kung fu is this? Cao Cao and Xiahoudun didn't dare to be careless, and the two joined forces and attacked with two swords, but they didn't get the slightest bargain.

Unexpectedly, a eunuch beside the first emperor had such a super high martial arts.
