Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 27 The Red-faced Man
Seeing that Lu Bu had an accident, he was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly asked Tang and Lu to cover up, and flew over to rescue the head of the house.
Cao Cao and the three of them also had no intention of fighting, and it was important to check the injuries of their companions.
Kuma Kaye hit a hit, but refused to give up, jumped to take Lu Bu again, Xiaotou Tuo just picked up Lu Bu, the 'Great Mercy Hand' hit, and hit the back of Xiao Toutuo, fortunately, his skin was rough and thick, and his skills were not weak, his body shook for a while, and he actually stood firm, while holding Lu Bu out, while calling Tang and Lu to break the road behind the two.
If something happens to Lu Bu, it is strange that the two of them are not exterminated by the nine clans, so they have to desperately cover the laughing head, Kuma Jiaye had no intention of hurting the two, and he didn't want to be stumped by the two, in order to seek a quick solution, the five successes, the 'Great Mercy Hand' beat the two out, and then looked at Lu Bu, who had already been held out of the cave by the laughing head and disappeared without a trace.
Kumagaya was holding a breath of 'might', and when he saw Lu Bu escape, his breath was released, and he couldn't support it anymore, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground.
Tang and Lu, who were knocked away, were no better, and when they landed, they were falling on the 'Overlord Sword', and 'Puff' was skewered with a 'sugar gourd'.
This series of changes is really a big ups and downs, it seems that the 'Hongmen' has suffered heavy losses, stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, the head Lu Bu is seriously injured, not to mention the robbery of the 'Qinghong Sword', but the 'Overlord Sword' has also been lost.
Cao Cao ran to Kuma Kaye and lifted him up. At this time, the old monk was already angry and dying, he used all his strength, sat cross-legged on the ground, and muttered: "Shaoxia, the old man can't accompany you to the Calvary Terrace, my senior brother and the emperor's trust, I hope that the young man must remember that no matter what, the Sword of Heaven must not let Dong Zhuo and other traitors go." ”
The old monk grabbed Cao Cao's hands, his eyes were full of expectation, Cao Cao nodded resolutely, "Master rest assured, no matter how hard it is, Cao Cao will definitely work hard to do it." ”
A satisfied smile flashed on his face, and he suddenly grabbed Cao Cao's hands, gritted his teeth, and continuously injected his own internal force into Cao Cao's body. Cao Cao wanted to withdraw, but he seemed to be stuck and had to passively accept the internal force that was transmitted.
"Lao G's more than 70 years of skills, the young man must be difficult to dissolve for a while, and the old man does this, I don't know if he is helping the young man, or harming the young man, Amitabha. ”
"Open the secret of the Calvary, the White Horse Temple and Ren Ao each know half, the young man went to the Woniu Villa to find five stone cows and knew, the 'double-strand sword' actually has a female and a male two, originally circulated in the Xiao He family, but for some reason it came to your little sister, and when the young man saw her father, maybe, maybe... Speaking of this, the old monk was silent.
Cao Cao burst into tears, he couldn't help but keep silent, this master followed him all the way, in fact, he protected himself all the way, and passed on decades of skills to himself, the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would live up to the master's trust.
The Xiahou brothers were injured and soon woke up, but Zhang Mei had been in a coma, but fortunately, at this time, Cao Cao had obtained more than 70 years of skill from Kuma Jiaye, even if it was only dissipated by one-third, it was also a great increase in internal strength. After losing some internal strength to Zhang Mei, she finally opened her eyes, but her body was very weak, and it seemed that she was not lightly injured.
Cao Cao and the others were also exhausted at this time, so they sat on the ground and discussed what to do next. The little junior sister was taken captive, and there should not be a danger to her life for a while, the poisonous bodhisattva took her to the Fawang Temple, because Lu Bu was injured, it is estimated that he returned to Luoyang to heal after meeting with the ghost shadow.
The most important thing is Zhang Mei, she doesn't know martial arts, she was slapped by Lu Bu, the injury is more serious, ordinary doctors are afraid of difficult treatment, I remember that the master once knew a miracle doctor, named Zhang Zhongjing, who lived in Handan City north of the Yellow River.
After discussion, it was decided to go their separate ways, and the Xiahou brothers were also injured, plus the two of them had just healed from their old injuries, and their bodies were still a little weak, so they traveled north to Handan with Cao Cao to find a miracle doctor.
And Cao Ren and Cao Hong went to inquire about the news of the little junior sister, and heard from the Water Dragon King that the female sword was taken away by Zhang Sanye, that is, Zhang Mei's third uncle, and the main altar of the Yellow Turban Army was in Julu County, Jizhou.
Cao Cao told the two brothers to be careful, only to inquire about the news, not to act without authorization, and agreed to meet in Handan City in the future.
Cao Cao looked at the 'Qinghong Sword' in his hand, Xiahoudun looked at the 'Overlord Sword' in his hand, and then looked at the bloodstains and corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He sealed the entrance of the cave again, and he went out of the Taiyi Temple. Leaving Shaomu Mountain, they went their separate ways, Cao Ren and Cao Hong went west to Taimur Mountain Fawang Temple to track down the Poison Bodhisattva, Cao Cao Zhang Mei and Xiahou brothers went down Songshan Mountain and went north to Handan.
went down the mountain and bought three fast horses, one for each of the Xiahou brothers, and one for Cao Cao and Zhang Mei. Find a fellow villager to ask for directions, and it is only five or six days away from Handan City. Zhang Mei was seriously injured and did not dare to delay, except for the necessary rest time, she was basically in a hurry.
Along the way, Cao Cao continued to give Zhang Mei some internal force to heal her injuries, and Cao Cao got the internal force of Kuma Kaye, and the effect was much better.
No wonder before he died, Kuma Kaye said that he gave Cao Cao internal strength either a blessing or a curse, and it was fulfilled in these two days.
The advantage is that Cao Cao's own internal force is limited, and he only dissipates and absorbs one-third of the old monk's internal force, which is equivalent to improving the internal force for more than 20 years, and has been included in the ranks of first-class martial arts players, which can be seen from the treatment of Zhang Mei's injuries.
The disadvantage is that these undissolved internal forces exist in the body, which cannot be controlled at all, every three or five hours, it will be regurgitated, every time Cao Cao will be sweating profusely in pain, and his whole body is hot, when passing by Xinxiang County, Hanoi County, it is very bad, and Cao Cao, who is in pain, falls off his horse.
The Xiahou brothers were at a loss and didn't know what to do. Every time she had an attack, Zhang Mei looked at Cao Cao's painful state, crying in distress, and suffering from powerlessness, so she had to help him wipe off the cold sweat and put her cold hand on his forehead to help him cool down.
Maybe when you find Doctor Zhang, there will always be a way to cure Cao Cao. Although she is also weak and can't withstand the fatigue of a long saddle horse, she would rather hurry up for Cao Cao's saddle horse.
On the fourth day, I came to Anyang City in Hanoi County. It is only half a day's trip from Handan, but it is late, and even if you arrive in Handan, the city gate has already been closed, so you decided to rest in Anyang for one night.
I found a small inn, ordered some wine and food, and prepared to rest early after eating.
There are not many guests in the inn, there are only three tables of people, and they are also ordinary guest officers dressed in clothes, only in the northwest corner is a red-faced man, wearing a green robe, wrapped in a green scarf on his head, and a long-handled broadsword leaning against the wall, looking like a martial arts person.
Brother Xiahou looked at Dahan vigilantly, after all, he still had to guard against the 'Hongmen' killer all the way. It just so happened that the big man also looked this way, and the two sides looked at each other for a while before moving away.
Cao Cao motioned not to be suspicious and eat quickly, but he didn't notice the strange appearance when the big man's eyes fell on the 'Overlord Sword'.
After eating for a while, two beggars, an old man and a young man, came in and begged the man for some leftover steamed buns from the guests to satisfy their hunger.
"Okay, my grandson hasn't eaten for two days, give a few steamed buns." ”
"No, no, business is not good, and we will soon become beggars. ”
Coming all the way north from Luoyang, along the way, I saw a large number of fertile fields and barren land, and there were hungry people fleeing everywhere, and the imperial court and the Yellow Turban Army fought everywhere, and the most affected were the innocent people.
Cao Cao was about to speak, but he heard the red-faced man shout: "Man, Hugh wants to chase him, quickly take two catties of steamed buns to him, and count them on my account." ”
The sound of the urn is loud, thick and deep. Seeing that someone was paying for it, the guy didn't say anything, and wrapped two catties of steamed buns for the old beggar. The old beggar thanked him for his kindness, led his little grandson to kowtow to the red-faced man twice, and then went out.
Cao Cao nodded approvingly at the red-faced man, but the man returned a cold gaze, lowered his head and munched on the steamed bun. On his table, there were only two plates of steamed buns and a jar of soju, and he seemed to be hungry, so he put the steamed buns and soju into his stomach like a storm.
Seeing that the big man was about to leave after eating, the guy hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Thank you, guest officer, it's a total of eighty small baht." “
Since the Qin Dynasty, the people have circulated the five-baht coin, although the weight and size of the five-baht coin have changed after each emperor ascended the throne, but the value is basically the same. It's a pity that after Dong Zhuo took power, in order to loot the people's wealth, the size of the five-baht coin was reduced by half, and the weight was less than half, and it was shoddy, and even the word 'five-baht' was blurred, and it was called 'small money' by the people. Countless refugees died of hunger and cold.
In an ordinary family, two or three people get twenty small dollars for a meal. Four catties of steamed buns and a jar of wine, eighty small dollars, the profit of the inn is also very thin.
But the red-faced man looked embarrassed, "Man, I accidentally lost the entanglement two days ago, can I keep the account first and settle it together another day?"
"What? I don't have any money, and I invite others to eat steamed buns, this package... ”
The guy saw that there was a package on the big man's table, so he suspected that he intended to repay the debt, his hand just touched the package, the big man slapped the table, and stood up, the man's hand just hit the big man's left arm, the big man suddenly trembled, seeing that the left arm was injured, his face changed, and he grabbed the long knife in his right hand and glared angrily. The man had seen such a formation there, and he was too frightened to say anything at the moment.
Cao Cao walked over, took out a small piece of broken silver, and handed it to the man, "Pay his account together." This strong man, can you appreciate it so much that you can talk about it at the next table, and make friends. ”
The red-faced man looked at his left arm, he was touched by the guy just now, and the wound may have soaked in blood again, and there were blood stains on the blue sleeve. He looked up at Cao Cao, swept Brother Xiahou again, snorted coldly, grabbed the package, and walked out of the store.
