Volume 2 Capture the Sword Chapter 98 Eliminate Harm for the People
At the same time, the old man had already picked up the golden object from the ground.
Cao Cao recognized at a glance that it was a waist card, a waist card belonging to the palace high guards.
Cao Cao had entered the palace with his father and uncle, and had seen this kind of waist card with his own eyes, and only people around the emperor would have such a waist card.
Cao Cao and the Feng seniors looked at each other, the court regulations of the Qin and Han dynasties were exactly the same, since the night pearl was sealed by Li Si, then the owner of this waist card was not the personal guard around Qin Shi Huangdi?
However, to the surprise of the two, there was still a bunch of waist cards lying in a corner, all the size of palms, with two small seal characters engraved on them: 'Praetorian Guard'.
That's a dozen pieces!
The waist card is gone, which means that these guards have been ...... He's dead.
Who killed all the high-ranking guards around Qin Shi Huangdi? Was it Li Si or Zhao Gao? Or was it for the emperor's funeral?
So, the tunnel in front of you is the grave of the guards, but looking at the tunnel, there is nothing but the waist card. If the Praetorian guards were buried here, there must be bones.
The past is like smoke, and the deceased is gone!
The two searched around, but couldn't find any exits.
Again, another 'dead end'!
Every time hope just started and ended up being disappointed.
The two of them had to jump out of the tunnel and return to the ear chamber.
Desperate, you can only go back the way you came!
The old man Feng opened the way with a sword in front, and Cao Cao followed closely behind with Princess Wuwu on his back.
The torch is useless, and there is a night pearl, which is a hundred times better than a torch.
Since she got the Night Pearl, Princess Sanssouci has been thinking about another question in her heart: whether it is Qin Shi Huang or the child Li Si, they have worked hard to seal this Night Pearl here, and they have also made future generations tattoo this pattern and remember it, but what can this Night Pearl do?
What is it good for?
What can it bring to future generations of the Ying family?
Restore the country, treasure, playthings?
It can't be lighting, right?
Ironically, there seems to be only one last feature at the moment.
Because as long as they go out of the outer ear chamber, there are countless earth dragon rats, and only the light of the night pearl can scare them away, and the three of them can have a chance to escape from the tunnel.
If the ancestors saw that the pearl of the night could only be used as a torch, how would they feel in their hearts?
Her parents named her 'Carefree' in the hope that she could live her life peacefully and carefree, and she herself hoped so!
In fact, the first ten years of her life should have been like this, but unfortunately her parents died tragically when she was five years old, which changed the trajectory of her life. Although her life is still worry-free, her heart has quietly changed.
What should come is always to come, and her bloodline, her identity, determines her responsibility.
So several leaders began to pay attention to the 'mission' of the Ying clan for her;
So she had to start being arranged to learn some 'skills';
So she began to listen to the 'reports' of several masters every day;
So she became 'a daily manager' every day;
So some strange and boring things came one after another;
For example, the 'pilgrimage' that gets up early every day, the 'hadith' that I have to repeat on some occasions, and even the major events of my life have to ......
This is fate! Once she accepted her fate, so she accepted the marriage between Lu Wanggu and Sima Shijia, so she obeyed her parents' orders and came to Ganling Mountain.
But Cao Cao's appearance gave her a chance to rekindle hope!
So she was extremely eager to grasp Cao Cao's straw in her heart!
It's a pity that the appearance of the Night Pearl gave her another hard blow to her heart: the family's mission can't be avoided even if she wants to!
At this moment, she pressed her head against Cao Cao's back, wrapped her arms around this man, and felt a brief moment of happiness, how much she wished that it would be good to freeze on this moment all the time.
It's a pity that the reality has to be faced!
Soon the three of them returned to the original tunnel, and the light of the night pearl was terrifying, and the earth dragon rats were extremely frightened, and they all hugged their heads and ran away.
The long sword in the hands of the old man of the wind did not kill again, and the three of them finally escaped from the encirclement of the group of rats, and after a while of hurriing, they left the tunnel safely.
It's pitch black outside, too!
But it's safe here. The darkness is not terrible, as long as there is hope for life, it will definitely wait for the dawn.
King Qin's Palace, going around and going around and returning to the starting point.
The night was dark, and it was cloudy that it was impossible to tell what time it was.
After all the rush, everyone was a little tired and a little hungry.
The old man proposed to rest here for one night, and wait for tomorrow dawn before leaving, Cao Cao said no, first, after tonight's three-day appointment from Lu Wanggu, there is only one day left; second, this is still the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, and the night pearl in the princess's hand is so eye-catching, after all, it is not safe, so it is proposed to rush overnight.
Princess Sanssouci is 'husband and wife' and completely obeys Cao Cao.
"It's better to be like this" The old man sighed for a while, and said, "What the young man said is also reasonable, but we have experienced the catastrophe just now, and we are all tired and hungry, even if you and I are fine, I am afraid that the princess will not be able to bear it, so it is better to rest for a while, and then it is not too late to hurry." ”
Seeing that Cao Cao had no objections, he said, "Your husband will build a fire to warm up, and the old man will go get something to eat." Before he could finish speaking, his figure disappeared into the night.
"Princess, are you cold?"
Princess Sanssouci barely squeezed out a smile and shook her head.
She snuggled up to him, how could Cao Cao not feel the cold trembling in her body?
"The princess will sit down for a moment, and I'll go get some firewood. ”
"Don't," and then says, "I'll go too." ”
Maybe she was afraid alone, or maybe she was unwilling to leave Cao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't answer, and with the help of the 'pearl', the two quickly gathered up a pile of firewood, because this was an abandoned palace, and there were collapsed wooden beams and rafters everywhere.
After the fire was lit, Cao Cao said, "The princess will bake the fire for a while, and I will come when I go." ”
Princess Sanssouci was taken aback: "Where are you going?"
"Don't be surprised, princess, I just want to get some more firewood. ”
"It's not...... Is there already so much?"
"Oh, that's right, no matter who raised so many earth dragon rats, these things will only leave endless disasters in the world, so I want to find more firewood and put it in the tunnel, so that these scourges will disappear completely. ”
"Huh, burn them?" she was kind-hearted, and suddenly heard Cao Cao's words, and felt a little unbearable.
"Princess, please think that once these things are trained, they will be released by their masters, no matter who they deal with, and in the end it is not thousands of innocent people who will suffer?"
Cao Cao's words made her pause, and she said, "I'll go too." ”
The two collected several large piles of wood and threw them all into the tree hole, almost filling the tunnel mouth to the brim, Cao Cao picked out a few half-burned ones from the fire and threw them into the wooden pile.
After a while, billowing black smoke came out of the hole in the tree, Cao Cao watched silently for a while, and said in a low voice to the old locust tree that was broken by the big snake: "Grandpa Shu, the younger generation can't stand your old man's house." ”
As he spoke, he steadied his horse, sank his dantian, gathered his true qi in his arms, and slapped his palms out of the ground, the palm wind was like a hurricane, and the air waves washed the part above the ground of the stump.
The deep internal force of the old monk Gu Ma Jiaye, Cao Cao can already be retracted freely.
He turned around and put two more door panels on top of the hole, and then moved some bricks and rubble to crush the door panels, and then smiled with relief.
In this way, the black smoke that is not fully burned will fill the entire tunnel, and both ends of the tunnel have been blocked, and the air inside will burn less and less, so that it will not be long before those earth dragon rats that should not live in the world will be smoked to death.
Even if there are lucky ones who are not smoked to death, and there is no air to breathe, they will definitely die.
Princess Sanssouci silently watched what her lover did, and was glad that God had treated her well and arranged such a handsome and extraordinary man for her, who was worried about the country and the people.
Although she is not deeply involved in the world, she also knows that what her lover did just now is tantamount to eliminating harm for the people.
She walked over softly and wiped the sweat from his face in distress.
Cao Cao wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear to brush her mind, so he had to let her finish it.
"Okay, the old man has only been away for a while, and you two are sticky?"
The old man suddenly appeared, and the two people who said it were red-faced.
"Senior, don't get me wrong......"
"Hey, what's this?" Senior Feng interrupted Cao Cao's explanation, "The so-called fair lady, gentleman, lonely man and widow, is like a dry firewood and a fire, burning a few handfuls, it is a matter of course, the old man also came over like this back then." ”
Seeing that the two young men were a little embarrassed, he raised a big fish in his hand and said with a smile: "Boy, go and clean up." ”
Cao Cao was busy taking the fish.
The three of them sat by the fire, eating delicious fish, completely sweeping away the depression and frustration in the tunnel.
"Senior, the fish you grilled is delicious. Princess Sanssouci praised again and again.
"Hehe, that's nature, the old man grew up by the sea since he was a child, isn't this a piece of cake?" looked at Cao Cao again, "You kid is good at roasting sweet potatoes, but you can't compare to the old man when it comes to roasting fish!"
"Huh,
After resting for about half an hour, the three of them extinguished the fire and walked out of the palace together.
I didn't go far to the south, and finally saw a stone bridge, which is good, as long as I crossed the hundred-zhang wide Laozhang River, it was a smooth road to the east.
In addition to the excitement, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel the wind under his feet, and soon carried Princess Wuwu on his back to surpass the wind seniors, and rushed to the stone bridge with an arrow step.
As soon as his feet stepped onto the stone bridge, two black shadows suddenly flew towards him.
'Whoosh, whoosh. “
Two pebbles passed by in the wind.
Immediately after, two more flew.
Originally, with Cao Cao's martial arts, he could completely avoid this chain of flying stones.
But this time the stone was shot at Princess Sanssouci, Cao Cao cared about her safety, and he was hit by two arrows in the Yinma River, and was hit in the leg by a stone, and it happened to hit the arrow wound.
Cao Cao stumbled, but fortunately, he did a good job, endured the pain and rose from the ground, and landed steadily at the bridge.
"Annoying! You dodged it. ”
As he spoke, a huge figure stood across the stone bridge, carrying a huge stone on his shoulder, almost half the width of the stone bridge.
It is the overly tall giant Guo Erbao!
Hula, dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers rushed out from under the bridge, blocking Cao Cao's way.
It's not good, there is an ambush, Cao Cao is secretly anxious.
