Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 61 The Cow Shopkeeper
The scene that happened in the river was clearly seen by Cao Cao and Zhang Liao.
The 'dog eats dog' of the Water Dragon King and the Unicorn Fairy, and both died, which is said to be a good thing, but Cao Cao and the others are not happy at all.
The 'Son of God' who has brought disaster to the people has been removed, and the flood has receded, but how long will it take to heal the damage that has been done?
Pity the people of the world, they are always the ones who suffer.
Seeing Lu Bu and others chasing from afar, Cao Cao and the others didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they hurried to the villa.
Hurry up the mountain. The more Zhang Liao walked, the more suspicious he became, it turned out that the sentries standing guard were gone? Something could not have happened, right?
The villa is guarded by the cattle shopkeeper and others, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can it be so easy to have an accident? Could it be that the Zhuang Ding along the way have been summoned to the villa?
When they arrived at the gate of the villa, there was still no one in sight, and Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others realized that something had indeed happened to the villa.
Could it be that while Zhang Liao and others were in Qinghe, Zhang Jiao sent people to attack the villa?
In the distance, everyone heard the sound of fighting coming from inside the villa, and everyone quickened their pace into the villa. I'm really afraid of something, I only see corpses everywhere, horizontally and vertically, staggering, there are Zhuang Ding of the mountain villa, there are soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and it is really a good thing that Zhang Jiao did.
Except for those who were taken to Qinghe, there are still three or four hundred soldiers in the villa, is it all over? What happened to the Niu shopkeeper, the second brother, Xue'er, and Ao Tianxiang and the others?
The sound of the fight came from the living room, Cao Cao and the others took three steps and two steps, came to the living room, and sure enough, they found that everyone was here.
There were three people in the living room who were fighting, two of them were Ao Tianxiang and Ruan Tianxing, and the opponent was a small man, to be exact, a little fat man, less than five feet tall, but weighing no less than one hundred and eighty pounds. Ao Tianxiang and Ruan Tianxing were both injured, and blood continued to flow out of the wounds, but the two still gritted their teeth and persevered.
Because behind them, the situation is even less optimistic. The cattle shopkeeper sat against the wall, with a short knife stuck in his abdomen, and Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Jin were also covered in blood, looking very badly injured, and they still needed to protect the two women behind them, Zhang Mei and Xue'er, and the 'Qiankun Bow' was hung on Zhang Jin's body.
The little fat man held a knife in each hand, which was only five or six inches long, bright and bright, and the cold light was shining. Don't look at his small body and fat body, but his body is extremely flexible, tossing and turning, like a ghost, flowers and butterflies shuttle back and forth in front of Ao Tianxiang and Ruan Tianxing, and the two knives also cut blood on the two of them from time to time.
Ao Tianxiang and the two were tired of running for their lives, and were repeatedly played by the little fat man, but they couldn't catch up with the opponent's fast body skills, both of them used long knives, and their martial arts were also top in the villa, but they were useless in front of the little fat man, because the long knife couldn't get close to the little fat man's body at all.
It seems that the little fat man does not want to kill the two of them at once, he is playing a game of cat and mouse, his knife cuts the wounds on the two of them from time to time, he seems to want to see how long the two can last?
Ao Tianxiang and the two knew that they were not opponents, but they had no way out, because the people behind them were either injured or weak women, and they were the only ones who could barely support them.
The two of them are retainers of Woniu Villa, and their ancestors have followed the Zhang family for generations.
The owner of the little fat man is none other than Zhang Bao, the second leader of the Yellow Turban Army. At this moment, he held an iron pipe in his hand and watched with relish as his subordinates 'teased' each other.
According to the little fat man's martial arts, it was easy to kill Ao and Ruan, but the two bright knives in his hands were stabbed left and right on the two of them, which seemed to be performing for the master Zhang Bao.
Moreover, Zhang Bao is quite satisfied with the little fat man's 'performance', cat and mouse, he enjoys this kind of pleasure.
He had plenty of reason to be complacent.
Because in the past few years, Zhang Jiao has sent people to attack the villa several times, but he has not taken any advantage, and today he went out on his own, and he won the victory, everything is under control, destroying the villa, and seizing the sword of the Son of Heaven is in a flick of his fingers.
At the critical moment, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others arrived in time, and the persistence of Ao Tianxiang and Ruan Tianxing was meaningful.
The little fat man saw that the other party had come to help, and he had enough of playing and was not merciful. As soon as Zhang Liao and the others stepped into the door, they saw the little fat man's body spinning like a top, and the knife 'swished' twice, and it was inserted into the hearts of Ao Tianxiang and Ruan Tianxing at the same time.
The two looked at Zhang Liao, shouted 'owner', and died at the same time.
The little fat man's style was extremely fast, and everyone was dazzled, and they didn't see how he made a move.
Seeing Zhang Liao, Xue'er's eyes showed a look of joy, and she subconsciously stood up when she was originally sitting on the ground.
Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others saw Ao Tianxiang and Ruan Tianxing fighting to the death, and they also admired these two men very much in their hearts, so they all blocked the little fat man with their swords and glared at him angrily.
The appearance of Cao Cao and others also made Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Mei and others breathe a sigh of relief. Zhang Mei saw Cao Cao and shouted, "Brother Cao." And he wept uncontrollably.
Zhang Liao stepped forward to hug the bodies of Ao Tianxiang and the two people, sad. The cattle shopkeeper on the side struggled to stand up and said, "The owner of the village, it was the incompetence of his subordinates that allowed the thieves to break through the villa. Tears shed as he spoke.
Zhang Liao hurriedly supported the cattle shopkeeper with both hands: "I was careless, how are you injured?"
He saw a short knife stuck in the cow's shopkeeper, which was exactly the same as the short knife in the little fat man's hand, and it seemed that he was also injured by the little fat man.
Zhang Liao was about to look down to check his injuries, but at the moment when the shopkeeper Niu got up, he quickly pulled out the short knife inserted in his body and stabbed Zhang Liao into the lower abdomen.
With a sharp pain, Zhang Liao looked down at the short knife, and didn't figure out what was going on for a while.
This, this is the cow shopkeeper. Sneak up on me?
The shopkeeper hit the right blow and laughed, waiting for this opportunity, he had been waiting for ten years.
In fact, the cattle shopkeeper was not injured at all, although he succeeded in one blow, but it was not fatal, this short knife was too small, and he did not have the knife skills of the little fat man, so the first knife did not kill Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao slapped his backhand and shook the cow shopkeeper open, because the cow shopkeeper had been holding the handle of the knife, and at the same time he was shaken open, he also took out the short knife.
The blood flowed out, Zhang Liao covered the wound with his hand, but still couldn't stop the blood from flowing out, and soon through his fingers, it fell to the ground dripping.
The opportunity was fleeting, and the cattle shopkeeper hurriedly stabbed the second time.
The magnitude of this change was beyond everyone's expectations.
When Cao Cao and the others reacted, it was already too late!
The cattle shopkeeper has been coming to the Woniu Villa for nearly ten years, he is honest and honest on weekdays, and he is very good to everyone in the villa, sometimes even an ordinary soldier has chilblain, he takes care of it personally, so he is deeply respected by everyone in the villa, and thus won the trust of Zhang Liao, which made him the general manager of the villa. Over the years, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and has kept the villa in good order.
Why did he do that?
Zhang Liao couldn't believe his eyes, his palm was completely subconscious. Now that the blood is pouring in, and his mind is blank, the second knife of the cow shopkeeper can't be dodged.
'Poof', this time it was inserted so deep that even the handle of the knife was barely submerged.
This knife went in, and the cattle shopkeeper laughed wildly.
After only half a laugh, his smile stiffened, because he saw that the second stab was not Zhang Liao, but his granddaughter Xue'er.
It turned out that at the last moment, Xue'er used her body to take her grandfather's second knife.
She is the closest to Zhang Liao, her eyes have always been on Zhang Liao, and she only has Zhang Liao in her heart.
When Grandpa stabbed her a second time, she had only one thought in her heart: this man must not have an accident.
It's a pity that she doesn't know martial arts, so she can only use her weak body to block this knife for him.
Zhang Liao looked up to the sky and roared, ignoring the blood from the wound, and hurriedly grabbed Xue'er with both hands.
She looked at Zhang Liao with distressed eyes, wanted to speak, the corners of her mouth moved, and finally she didn't say a word, and closed her eyes permanently.
Since then, after Zhang Liao went to Qinghe City with everyone, she has been frightened, and she always prayed in her heart that he would come back safely. He finally returned, but unfortunately she didn't even have time to say a word to him!
Xue'er died tragically, and Xiahoudun was both heartbroken and angry, and stabbed the cow shopkeeper with a sword. At the same time, Cao Cao also rushed to the front, and he also made a sword here.
The Niu shopkeeper's martial arts were not too high, and now he is bare-handed, how can he be an opponent, he was forced to be in a hurry for a while, and he shouted in a hurry: "Dead strong man, don't save the old man quickly." ”
The little fat man heard this and had the heart to come over, but was stopped by Sun Ce and Liu Bei.
The cow shopkeeper dodged left and right, very embarrassed, and was besieged by two masters at the same time, only caring about holding his head and running around, where was there to fight back.
"Huh"
Xiahoudun stabbed him in the thigh with a sword, the bull shopkeeper fell to the ground with an oops, Xiahoudun followed by another sword, the bull shopkeeper had no weapons, and subconsciously blocked it with his hand, the sword blade slashed, and the four fingers of his right hand were cut off, leaving only one thumb.
Xiahoudun was eager for revenge, and his backhand was another sword, which was stabbed into the heart of the cattle shopkeeper. It was impossible for the cattle shopkeeper to hide anymore, and in desperation, he secretly screamed, 'My life is over', and he closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Bell", with a crisp sound, Xiahou Dun's finger long sword was swung away by a flying sharp weapon.
After the sharp weapon collided with the long sword, it fell to the ground, and it was a small 'plum blossom sword'.
It was Zhang Liao who saved his life! The shopkeeper Niu looked at the plum blossom sword and looked at Zhang Liao suspiciously.
"Why did you do this?" said Zhang Liao, word by word.
The cow shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.
"Zhang Liao thinks he treats you well, why do you do this?"
Zhang Liao asked again, he looked at Xue'er, tears fell on Xue'er's face like rain, but unfortunately she couldn't feel it anymore.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had just found their long-lost sister, and before they could enjoy their family affection, she just left. The two looked at the cattle shopkeeper, their eyes almost erupted with fire, and they wanted to slaughter him with their own hands several times, but Cao Cao tried his best to hold him.
"Is that enough?"
The cow shopkeeper finally spoke.
Zhang Liao nodded: "So you brought these Yellow Turban Army up?"
"Yes, Second Master Zhang and the Yellow Turban Army were indeed put on the mountain by me. “
"Brother Cao and I went to Qinghe City, so naturally you leaked the news?"
"Not bad. You and I didn't have to meet again, but unfortunately I didn't expect that in Qinghe City, their gang of rubbish couldn't wipe you out. “
"So when you see us coming back safely, you immediately kill the killer. Since each is his own master, you assassinate me, I don't blame you, I only ask you one thing, now you killed Xue'er with your own hands, are you a little sad?"
"Hmph, this slut has broken a big deal, and she is innocent of death! She is not my granddaughter at all, why should I be sad?"
