Volume 2 Capture the Sword Chapter 79 The True Queen
In fact, Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that it was not too difficult to get out of the chaos in the dark night with the martial arts of the old man, but it was just that an old man was in danger, and it was inevitable that he couldn't bear it, but looking at the old man's undoubted tone, it would make people feel that he was underestimating others, so he hugged his fists and bowed his hand, and said that he was precious.
"After the deed was completed, I also came here to meet at the mass grave. After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and laid off.
The wind blows under his feet, and he walks extremely fast. Cao Cao performed light skills and followed behind, obviously the old man was leaving, Cao Cao tried his best to catch up, but there was always a gap of two or three steps.
Cao Hong's light work was very good, and he caught up with the old man in a few jumps. The old man looked at Cao Hong and praised: "The baby is so handsome, very good." ”
Cao Hong caught up with the old man, in fact, he also had a question in his heart, but it was inconvenient to interject just now, but he couldn't hold it back in his heart, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle, why did you cry sadly just now?"
The old man sighed: "My hard-working child, on his deathbed, wanted to eat sweet potatoes, but he couldn't get his wish, and when I saw sweet potatoes today, I couldn't help but think of my poor child." “
"I'm sorry uncle, the younger generation didn't mean to touch your sadness......"
"Well, forget it, more than thirty years have passed, and if he were alive, he would be as old as you. “
After speaking, the three of them came to the northwest corner of the city wall.
Julu City, is the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, the main altar of the Taiping God Sect, many years of operation, the city wall is built high and thick, under the city wall is two long and wide moats, the defense is extremely strong.
But for masters like Cao Cao, it is not difficult to climb over the city wall. The reason why the northwest corner was chosen to enter the city, according to the old man, is closer to the sleeping palace of Zhang Jiao.
The old man led the way, and the two Cao Cao brothers followed closely behind, shuttling through the night. Cao Cao once came to Julu City, but entered from the south gate, all the shops and vendors were seen along the way, and the eyes were also ordinary houses, but the road passed through tonight was full of floors and stacked pavilions, flying pavilions and flowing pills, under the towering ancient trees, countless red walls and yellow tiles.
Fortunately, there is an old man leading the way, otherwise in this row of palaces, I am afraid that if I find Tianming, Cao Cao and the others may not be able to turn around, let alone find the princess.
was searching, and suddenly heard a burst of music in front of them, so the three of them followed the sound and slowly touched into a large hall with a golden roof and red door.
Carefully bypassing the sentinels, the three of them climbed onto the roof and saw the situation in the hall clearly through the patio.
I saw a group of dancers in the hall fluttering their sleeves and dancing; in the corners, a group of musicians rang bells and chimes, drums and harps; fist-thick sandalwood filled the four corners; and in the main hall, a group of people were drinking and feasting, all of them were happy and red, as if they were celebrating something important.
And in the north of the hall, sitting on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon is the careerist who has empty eyes and eyes on the world, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and the corner of the Taiping God Sect.
There were two rows of low tables in the hall, which were full of all kinds of melons and fruits, as well as wine and delicacies, and there were four or five people who shook their heads and were triumphant.
One of them, Cao Cao, recognized that he was Guo Erbao, a strong man he met in the Ganling Mountain Temple. At this moment, he opened his shirt, revealing his chest hair, holding a golden wine jug in one hand and a roast chicken in the other, and was gnawing vigorously. And the boulder, which weighed two or three hundred pounds, stood beside him.
Above him sat a short, scrawny, dwarf, who was talking about something in high spirits.
Cao Cao and the others listened quietly, but he could only say in a sharp voice: "This is the sect master's boundless power, watching the stars at night, and calculating that the true queen is here, the little ones are just acting on orders, how dare they reach the heavens and be rewarded by the sect master." “
Cao Cao immediately heard this voice, he was Guo Dabao who appeared in the mountain temple.
I heard Mo Daxia say that the two Guo brothers are twin brothers, but this thin backbone of the brother is the elder brother, and the younger brother is a tall man and a big man, and the two of them are twins? If Cao Cao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed it if he had said it.
As soon as Guo Dabao's words fell, a man with the appearance of a civil official at the table opposite immediately answered: "The wisdom tank is too modest, and the sect leader's mana is true, but the wisdom tank can succeed immediately, so that our Divine Sect will be like a tiger in the future, which is really a great achievement." “
Zhang Jiao also said: "Yes, Guo Qing has done this beautifully, and he will be rewarded heavily, and Guo Qing will not resign." “
Guo Dabao hurriedly stood up, kicked the second brother, signaled him to get up quickly, and the two thanked him together: "Thank you, Sect Leader Longen." “
Guo Erbao was stupid and slow, he almost kicked the table over when he got up, plus he was already drunk, and before Zhang Jiao could reply, he made his butt on the ground, and the wine jug in his hand accidentally knocked on the boulder next to him.
They were dancing intently, one of them happened to step on the wine jug, his foot and neck were crooked, and he fell to the ground, and she fell, and the rest of the women could not catch up, and they collided one after another, one by one, and they were in a mess.
The dance stopped, and the musicians didn't know whether to stop or continue, one by one stunned and at a loss.
The hall was suddenly silent, and it was surprisingly quiet.
Zhang Jiao glanced at it drunken and shouted, "Where is Ding Aiqing?"
A military attache sitting at the head of the civil official hurriedly got up, trotted to the throne of Zhang Jiao and knelt down, and replied, "Yes." “
"Push it out, strangle it all. ”
"Yes. ”
With a wave of his hand, the military attache broke into a group of Yellow Turban troops, set up the dancing girls and dragged them out. Pity more than a dozen women, who lost their lives because of a wine jug, shouted to the heavens and the earth one by one, and even called for mercy, but the Yellow Turban Army ignored them and dragged them all out viciously.
Seeing this, the musicians trembled with fright, and knelt on the ground like chaff, trembling, and some even peed their pants in fright.
The military attache pricked up his ears and waited for Zhang Jiao's order, and as soon as he gave the order, he immediately dragged the musicians out.
Who knew that Zhang Jiao drank a glass of wine, tasted it with satisfaction, and said the word 'get out'.
The musicians picked up a life, climbed with a roll, and walked out of the hall.
In fact, just when Zhang Jiao gave the order, Cao Cao wanted to rush out, so many innocent women were strangled to death because of a fall, and this Zhang Jiao was too careless of human life. But just as he was about to move, he was stopped by the old man in black, signaling him to take the overall situation seriously.
Cao Cao held back his anger and his fists creaked.
Guo Dabao saw that his second brother was in trouble, and first scolded, "Idiot, how many times have I said it, what kind of occasion is this, and you are still taking your broken stone." ”
Then, he hurriedly apologized to Zhang Jiao: "The reckless person who gives up his brother does not know etiquette, and I hope that the sect leader will be magnanimous and forgive him." ”
Zhang Jiao stood up, laughed, and came to the front of the two while holding a wine glass, and said: "Don't worry about it, your brother has an upright temperament and a childlike heart, and Lone likes it very much, come, give your brother a drink." ”
Guo Dabao squeezed out a few tears, busy with the Taoist leader of heaven, and was willing to serve the dogs and horses in the future.
Zhang Jiao sat down face to face and said: "Guo Qing came to vote sincerely, and brought such a big secret to Lone, if Lone's big thing is successful, your brothers are all founding heroes." ”
"My two brothers are adrift in the rivers and lakes, living half their lives in vain, and they are fortunate to take refuge in the Lord of Destiny, which is really in vain. The sect leader has the true queen today, and God is destined for the sect leader to achieve the hegemony of the king. ”
Cao Cao and the others had been hearing them mention the 'True Queen' above, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder if she was the owner of the yellow shoes.
After listening to Guo Dabao's words, Zhang Jiao couldn't stop laughing: "I remember that Master Gu once said that it is recorded in the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" that the phoenix is in the court, Zhu Caosheng, Jiahexiu, manna run, Liquan is out, the sun and the moon are like a combination, and the five stars are like a bead. ”
"Yes, Master. "Guo Dabao Road" under the plane tree, the phoenix comes to the ceremony, the five-star beads, the day of climbing. ”
The civil official of Shicai also hurriedly came over and patted his ass and said: "I heard that when Emperor Shun ascended the throne, there was a five-star alignment in the sky, which is a sign of great luck!"
In the clouds and fog that Cao Cao and the three of them listened to above, what is the five-star alignment? What does this have to do with Zhang Jiao?
Seeing the passage of time, Cao Cao was very eager to know the news about the princess, but it was a pity that Zhang Jiao and others in the palace actually talked about the five-star alliance, and when he was helpless, he had to continue to eavesdrop patiently.
Zhang Jiao said with a smile: "If it weren't for Guo Qing, Gu wouldn't know that there were such secrets hidden in 'Lu Wanggu', Guo Qing had made such a great contribution, what requirements did he have today, even if he put it forward, Gu would definitely be allowed to play." ”
'Lu Wanggu', Cao Cao finally heard this familiar name, and was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that this trip was not in vain, there will be a harvest tonight, and the truth may be about to come out.
But I heard Guo Dabao say: "This secret, even the people of 'Lu Wanggu' don't know, and the small one also learned this secret by chance." Qin Zhang, the big boss of 'Lu Wanggu', is a rude man, but he married a handsome little lady, the villain drooled and dived into the Gu several times, but he was never able to succeed, and he heard a big secret by mistake, and it is a small blessing to be able to honor the master, how dare he ask for it, only ask the master to achieve great things, and reward the little lady to the little one, and be content. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he seemed to understand a little, maybe the princess in the mouth of the third master of Lu, the owner of the yellow shoes, was the little lady who was the master of the 'Lu Wanggu'. Guo Dabao, a despicable and shameless person, has a thicker skin than the city wall of Julu, and he dares to show off after doing these dirty things.
The old man in black was even more furious, he coughed lightly, signaled Cao Cao to get ready, and then performed a light skill, only to see a black shadow flash, and then jumped into the courtyard.
Zhang Jiaowu in the hall said proudly: "Hey, the book "Taiping Sutra" said that the woman born when the five stars were aligned is the queen's life, and she will help one person to become a king and become an emperor. Thinker, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
"Obey the order" Guo Dabao was overjoyed.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone in the Taoist courtyard shouting: "Bold and shameless people, hand over the princess quickly, or you will all be burned to death." “
Zhang Jiao and the others' faces changed, and they hurriedly rushed out of the hall, only to see fires burning everywhere outside the hall, and dozens of yellow turban soldiers surrounded a black-clothed masked man in the courtyard to fight.
The man in black made a pitch-black scimitar, a large gold ring on the back of the knife clanged, and the scimitar passed by, and the screams of the Yellow Turban Army were endless.
Guo Erbao was furious, picked up the boulder and smashed it, the man in black knew that the other party was brute forced, avoided its edge, jumped on the wall, and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Jiao was furious and ordered his men to chase after him. But the man in black no longer fought with him, ran to one courtyard and set a fire, and then ran to another courtyard to set a fire, and finally saw fires everywhere, and there was no trace of the man in black.
The Cao Cao brothers knew that the old man Feng had succeeded in his plan, so they took advantage of the chaos to go down to the palace to look for it.
As soon as I entered the hall, I heard someone behind me, "Hehe, are you two here to find me?"
Cao Cao secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, he had been tricked!
