The first few on the right are not from Zhang Liang's lineage, although they are not of the same clan, they are of the same clan.

These people are the old Zhang people from Qinghe County, and it is said that they also moved from other places a long time ago, but no one can say exactly what age it is.

However, it is far earlier than Zhang Liang's lineage! Although the old patriarch surnamed Zhang is already from this lineage.

Zhang Wenjing said: "I can't write two 'Zhang' words in one stroke, my ancestor was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the official seal Gongzheng, because of the merit of the surname Zhang, living in Qinghe, has been nearly a thousand years, there has never been a greedy person who is afraid of death. Hmph, whether it's Dong Zhuo or 'Hongmen', we have to share the same hatred and swear to defend the ancestral hall, even if it is extinct, we will not dishonor our ancestors. “

Zhang Wenji said: "No, no, there is a way that 'Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unclear if it is reasonable.'" 'The Zhang family does not have a single breed who is afraid of death, but because of his own selfishness, he implicates the entire Qinghe people, and he is also a sinner through the ages. ”

Zhang Wenwei said: "The Zhang family is in great trouble, why don't you see the people of Woniu Villa? There are a lot of soldiers there, why don't the old patriarch borrow them to relieve the siege of Qinghe?"

Zhang Sicong said: "Third uncle, Woniu Mountain has the sword of the Son of Heaven and the golden sword of Gaozu, which is extremely important. ”

Zhang Sishen said: "Then bring the divine bow, let's go to Woniu Mountain for temporary shelter, Woniu Mountain has an iron wall, and the officers and soldiers are helpless." ”

Zhang Siqian said: "You and I are gone, do you want the ancestral hall of the Zhang family anymore? What about the people of Qinghe? In fact, there is another next policy, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army of Julu, is also a descendant of the Zhang family, when he was in trouble to vote, we also tolerated him, and now the family is in trouble, can he stand by and watch? I heard that the Yellow Turban Army has 100,000 people, it is better ... ？”

As he spoke, he secretly observed the faces of the elders, and sure enough, when he said Zhang Jiao's name, all the old people changed color angrily, some beat their chests and stomped their feet, some shook their heads and sighed, some whispered 'bah', and some spit hard.

Zhang Jiao's greed is greater than Dong Zhuo, he secretly sent troops, and he has already attacked Woniu Mountain many times, if it weren't for Zhuang advocating Liao's insistence, Calvary Terrace would have been demolished by Zhang Jiao, ask him to send troops to save Qinghe, even if he can resist 'Hongmen' for a while, isn't it that the evil tiger has been driven away and the jackal has come again?

Everyone talked about it, except for righteous indignation, seeing death as home, no one could come up with an idea, the old patriarch was at a loss, and he didn't know who to listen to.

Cao Cao and Xiahoudun listened to a rough idea, and basically understood that the Zhang family had Zhang's ancestral 'Qiankun Bow', which was enshrined in the Zhang ancestral hall, and this divine bow could help open the Calvary Terrace, and it was for this reason that the 'imperial court' was ordered to borrow it.

This is the first time Cao Cao has heard that everyone is competing for the Five Elements Sword, because everyone knows that only when the Five Elements Sword is gathered can the Calvary Platform be opened, and the 'Qiankun Bow' is also a necessary condition for opening, and Cao Cao only heard it for the first time today.

How can a bow open the Calvary? Cao Cao didn't have time to think about it, because the Five Elements Sword was gathered, how could he open the Calvary? Who knows!

Seeing that there were different opinions, Cao Cao said: "Dong Zhuo's old thief has already held the Son of Heaven hostage and set up the imperial court, and his usurpation of the emperor's heart is already known to passers-by. The reason why he hasn't started it yet is because of the existence of the Sword of the Son of Heaven and the Golden Slip of Gaozu, which is a major obstacle to his usurpation of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the biggest heart disease at present, so Dong Zhuo and the 'Hongmen' snatched the Five Elements Sword and the 'Qiankun Bow' at all costs, and the person who opened the Calvary Platform was when Dong Zhuo usurped the throne, so the 'Qiankun Bow' could not fall into the hands of the 'Hongmen' anyway. ”

As soon as Cao Cao spoke, the hall was suddenly silent.

For such a long time, almost no one paid attention to Cao Cao and the two, everyone thought that it was just a patient who came to consult, and they never thought that Cao Cao would say this, and after a moment of silence, the Zhang clan began to accuse loudly.

"Who are you? I am not ashamed to say it here, and I am so light that young people can know how vicious the methods of the 'Hongmen' are?"

"Yes, the so-called people don't fight with officials, hundreds of officers and soldiers are surrounding the ancestral hall at the moment, and there are thousands of people in the county guard and the 'Hongmen' envoy, how can they hit the stone with an egg?"

"This is our family business, when will it be the turn of outsiders to intervene. ”

The old patriarch's face was full of displeasure: "Don't make any noise!" Then he politely asked Cao Cao: "This son, haven't you asked for the name of the honorable person?"

Cao Cao raised the long sword in his hand: "Junior Cao Cao, may I ask you have ever recognized this sword? This is the 'Qinghong Sword', and the one in my Xiahou brother's hand is the 'Overlord Sword'"

These few words made everyone stunned, Dong Zhuo and 'Hongmen' snatched the Five Elements Sword, raided the Cao family, and wanted Cao Cao, everyone had heard of it, and they really didn't expect that this young hero was right in front of them.

None of the people knew the Five Elements Sword, let alone seen Cao Cao, and their eyes widened. Zhang Kehuai respectfully gave Cao Cao a salute: "Brother Cao is not afraid of the ministers, bravely fights the 'Hongmen', but Huai is very respectful, please accept my worship." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly returned the salute, "It's a shame to say that I was also chased and killed by the 'Hongmen' below, so I hit it by mistake and came all the way here." But I have seen with my own eyes that there are still loyal people such as Zheng Shangshu and Lord Lu, and Dong Thief has lost the hearts of the people, and at the end of the strong crossbow, he will be defeated sooner or later. “

"Hahahaha, it has become a turtle in an urn, and you dare to make a big statement here!"

The voice was shrill and piercing, with an air of pride.

Hula, a large group of officers and soldiers broke in, blocking the main entrance of the hall.

The two people at the head, one of them was wearing official uniforms and had a delicate face, and all the people of the Zhang clan recognized him as Lord Taishou Kong of Qinghe County; the other had a long face like a donkey, a nose like a hook, two bean-shaped eyes that shot out of essence, and wore eunuch clothes, but he was short and skinny, and seemed to be starving all year round.

This person didn't know anyone, he swept his eyes over the people in the room, and said with a smile: "Nephew Cao, don't come to harm?"

Seeing that he knew himself, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest impression of this person.

"Lord Commander, tell them. ”

"Yes, this is the messenger from the capital, the first emperor's personal eunuch Duan Jue. ”

Cao Cao then remembered this person, he knew that there were two eunuchs around the first emperor, one was called Zhang Rang, and the other was called Duan Qi. The Cao family has been an official in the court for several generations, and it is indispensable to deal with the great eunuchs, but Cao Cao has not had contact with him, and all the impressions are only heard from his father and uncle.

"My nephew, the old slave and Lord Lingtang have always been good friends, and they are like brothers and sisters, and what happened to the Cao family, the old slave is also very sad. Hurry up and hand over the 'Qinghong Sword' to the old slave for safekeeping, and the 'Hongmen' will no longer dare to embarrass his nephew. ”

He pretended to be sad, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the 'Qinghong Sword'.

Cao Cao laughed and shook the dust on the roof.

Everyone is inexplicable, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and now the catastrophe is coming, what else is ridiculous?

Seeing Cao Cao laughing non-stop, Duan Jue couldn't help but laugh out of tears, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Nephew, you are desperate, you will be killed at any time, to tell you the truth, the head of Lu Bu has led the 'Hongmen' killers to pour out of the nest, and within three days, he will go to Qinghe, and only by handing over the 'Qinghong Sword' and 'Overlord Sword' to the old slave for safekeeping, can he save his life." ”

Cao Cao stopped laughing and said loudly: "My father-in-law keeps calling his nephew, is he calling Cao Mou, or is he called 'Qinghong Sword'?"

"You! shame on your face, and when you are dying, you dare to speak out. ”

"Who in the world doesn't know? The 'Ten Standing Servants' bewitched the first emperor, caused chaos in the dynasty, extorted tyranny, and sold official positions, so that the people of the world were confused, and thieves swarmed, and you were the culprit. Every time my father mentioned it, he gritted his teeth and hated it, so how could he be like a brother?"

Cao Cao's words were awe-inspiring, and the Zhang clan admired them.

"Good, good. The old patriarch Zhang Zhaokai stroked his palms and praised, "Speaking happily, just by virtue of Cao Gongzi's words, the old man finally believes that there is still righteousness in this Han world." ”

"You are killing yourself, no wonder the old slave. As he spoke, he waved his hand and signaled the officers and soldiers to rush forward to take the people.

"Slow!" Zhang Zhaokai walked a few steps and came to the county guard, "Master Kong, after you are a saint, how can you obey the orders of the eunuch and damage your reputation?

Kong Taishou snorted, sighed, and lowered his head.

Two people flashed out behind him, both about thirty years old, each with a ghost head knife, on the back of Kong Taishou's neck.

Dare to love him was also forced to be helpless, Zhang Zhaokai said: "Duangong, you are also the old minister of the first emperor, I can't imagine that the bones of the first emperor are not cold, but you take refuge in Dong Thief, act for the tiger, the divine bow is in the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, if you have the ability, you will come to take it, why use the next three indiscriminate means to persecute Master Kong?"

Duan Jue sneered: "Becoming a big thing is not informal, the old slave I am favored by the first emperor, I am obedient to my words, rich and glorious, and I have reached the peak." Naturally, you have heard that the first emperor personally said, 'Zhang Changshi is my father, and Duan Changshi is my mother', let me ask, even if he is ranked as the third prince, can he have such a favor?"

When no one answered, he continued, "You are all dying people, and the old slave is not afraid to tell you." At that time, what kind of scenery was the old slave family? At that time, what was Dong Zhuo? When the first emperor died, the old slave was on the spot, for the grievances of the first emperor, for the honor and disgrace of my Duan clan, the old slave had to grovel and bow down, not only to Dong Zhuo's old thief slave face, flattery, but also to join the 'Hongmen', but also for Lu Bu's yellow-toothed child to act as the Eight King Kongs. “

Listening to his words, it seems that Dong Zhuo and the 'Hongmen' have a lot of complaints, speaking of the 'Hongmen' Eight King Kongs, Hercules, the one-eyed dragon and the wild duck have all died, and the remaining Zhuge Xiling, Xiaotoutuo, Poison Bodhisattva and Water Dragon King have also seen it, but there is only one left, and the eunuch Duan Qi beside the emperor is daring.

"What is the old slave forbearance and humiliation, and is willing to be a cow and a horse? ”

"Yes, uncle. “

There are two people behind Kong Taishou, one is called Duan Shuiqing and the other is Duan Shanming, both of whom are Duan Jue's nephews.
