Although the two masked men retreated, Hercules did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief, all his men were gone, and there were so many people on the opposite side, the most terrible thing was that he was severely injured by the fireball, even if he had the 'double-strand sword' in his hand, he had no chance of winning, and it was the best policy to take the opportunity to slip away.

It's a pity that he miscalculated, although the two masked men escaped, but he didn't have a chance, because neither Cao Cao nor Sun Ce would let him go.

Cao Cao said: "I don't blame you for snatching this sword, but if you try to disrespect the little junior sister, how can I spare you!"

Huang Gai also said: "Do you recognize the old man when you look up? Last year, you broke into the 'Jiang ASEAN' and seriously injured my Zhu brother. ”

"At that time, my Fourth Uncle Zhu originally let you go, and he had already spared your life, but you repaid virtue with resentment, and attacked him from behind, so that he was seriously injured and died, so many heroes are here today, are you still leaving?" Sun Ce also said.

If you can't get out, you will fight, and Hercules simply takes the initiative to attack. He knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't get the sword, even if he could escape back to the 'Hongmen', according to Lu Bu's character, it would only be a dead end.

"Second Uncle Huang, let Ce'er avenge Fourth Uncle Zhu. ”

"Okay, then I'll fight side by side with Brother Sun. Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce, and the two of them smiled, because Sun Ce had just said this sentence not long ago.

"Alright, let's go up together. "While Hercules was talking, the sword had already arrived in front of Cao Cao, I didn't expect that Hercules was tall and big, and the speed of the sword was so fast, Cao Cao only cared about talking, and he might as well 'double-strand sword' had already reached his throat.

"Big brother, be careful. ”

"Eun Gong be careful. ”

Mi Yue and Zhang Mei blurted out almost at the same time, worried that Cao Cao would not be able to dodge this sword.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce shot at the same time, and 'bitten' the 'double-strand sword' with one sword. The two of them have a combination of swords, although the number of martial arts is different, but the cooperation is very tacit, and in a short period of time, a huge advantage has been established, and the strong man has almost no power to fight back.

To deal with martial arts scum like Hercules, there is no need to talk about morality, such people stay in the world, they can only harm more innocent people, so Cao Cao and Sun Ce are ruthless, intending to fight a quick battle.

With two sounds, Cao Cao's long sword stabbed into Hercules' left leg, and Sun Ce's long knife stabbed into Hercules' right leg.

"This sword is for the little junior sister. ”

"This knife was stabbed for Uncle Zhu. ”

His legs were injured, and Hercules made an 'oops' sound, he was unsteady on his feet, his knees were weak, and he fell to his knees, barely supported by his sword, so as not to fall.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce walked in front of him and said in unison, "It's time to seek justice for the innocent souls who died at your hands." ”

The strong man no longer resisted, facing the direction of the capital, kowtowed three times in a row, and said: "I lost an arm, but I found the 'double-strand sword', but the villain couldn't bring the sword back to the 'Hongmen'." Master Lu, the villain will no longer be able to work for your old man in the future. ”

After saying that, he took one last look at the 'double-strand sword', and then plunged the sword into his chest with his backhand, killing him on the spot.

Suffering from this change, everyone has mixed feelings in their hearts. At this time, it was getting late, if there was anything to say tomorrow, Shen Qingfeng arranged the rooms for everyone one by one, and everyone went to bed.

Early the next morning. Black Tiger Ridge three-way crossing.

Shen Qingfeng dismissed Qingfeng Village, and he was determined to follow the young alliance master south.

The time of separation has arrived. Sun Ce's gaze swept over the faces of Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Ru, the old man, Mi Yue, and Zhang Mei one by one, and finally stopped in front of Cao Cao.

"Being able to get to know Brother Cao is really a blessing in three lives. Forgive the brother bluntly, the 'Hongmen' Eight King Kong has broken two people, and he will not give up, Brother Cao is going, I am afraid that there are killers in Qian County, and I hope that Brother Cao will be careful. The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, and the brothers say goodbye. “

"The three of you cherish all the way, and we will have a meeting later. Cao Cao returned the salute.

After bidding farewell to Sun Ce and others, Cao Cao and the others hurried to Peijun.

This twist and turn prompted Cao Cao to re-examine the matter of the Five Elements Sword, it seems that the Five Elements Sword is no longer a secret, and the suspense is who these five swords are in now. If the little junior sister's hand is really a 'double-strand sword', and then find her family's 'Qinghong Sword', then you will be two-fifths complete.

The experience of the past few days has inspired Cao Cao's determination to complete this matter, although he still doesn't know where to find the other three swords, let alone how to open the skull, since Dong Zhuo and the 'Hongmen' have taken such pains to grab the sword, and even the Taiping God Sect and the beggar gang have participated, then the old abbot represents the trust of the emperor and the people, and it is more and more important.

Another thing is that every step you take, it seems that you know the enemy well, as if someone is following you. Thinking of this, he suddenly had a clever look, could it be that there was a spy following him? Cao Cao didn't dare to think about it, but he reminded himself more and more to be cautious.

The "Double-strand Sword" has appeared, and only by returning to his hometown in Qian County can he learn the information of the 'Qinghong Sword' from his father, no matter what, the mystery of the Sword of the Son of Heaven has been revealed.

But Cao Cao and others know very well: now there is a chase and a blockade in the front, and the road ahead can only be more difficult.

But seeing the fearlessness of Lord Lu's family in the face of death made Cao Cao's heart extremely shocked, and he secretly encouraged himself, no matter how hard it is, he has to go on!

After a few more days, I have stepped into the boundary of Qiaoxian County. These days have been safe and sound, and the road has been safe and steady.

According to the address provided by the old man, Cao Cao delivered the old man to his destination safely. The old man thanked them reluctantly, and reluctantly said goodbye to everyone and went to his nephew's house.

After another journey, seeing that it was almost noon, and there were still less than thirty miles away, everyone returned to their hearts like arrows, so they struck while the iron was hot, and waited until they got home to have lunch.

Half an hour later, I have arrived at the head of the village. The crops in the farmland on the side of the road are already tall, and the weeping poplars on both sides are as thick as bowls, and I can't help but think of the scene when I was a child and carried small saplings with adults.

Just as Cao Cao was immersed in his childhood memories, Cao Hong, who was beside him, suddenly shouted: "Senior brother, look, there is fire and smoke." ”

Sure enough, there was black smoke in many places in the village ahead, and flames could be seen in some places. A hint of ominous thought flashed in Cao Cao's mind, and everyone hurried into the village.

I'm really afraid of something. Almost half of the village has been hit by fires, and the village is littered with collapsed houses and the smell of burning. Most of the fires have been extinguished, and only a few homes still have unburned flames.

It seems that the fire has been burning for at least a day or two, and strangely enough, there is no one in the village, and it is estimated that they have either been burned to death or fled.

When I arrived at the ancestral house, it had already become a scorched earth. The houses had collapsed, the fire had long since been extinguished, and black smoke was still billowing from a few corners.

Cao Cao knelt on the ground in a dejected manner, after all, he was a step too late, and he took pity on the whole family of more than a dozen people, and they were buried in the fire.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and squeaked, his eyes were blood-red, his whole body trembled, and in the face of the tragic scene, he suddenly opened his mouth, a stream of blood spurted out, and he almost fainted. Cao Ren and Cao Hong also burst into tears and beat their chests. Li Ru kept persuading each other, and even Mi Yue and Zhang Mei shed a lot of tears with them.

Cao Cao asked Li Ru to take care of the two young girls, and went into the old mansion with two cousins to check. Whatever he says, he will find the corpses of his people, so that they may be buried in the ground.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find a single corpse, could it be that they were all burned? Why didn't there even be any traces? Tossed back and forth a few times, but still found nothing.

Turning around, I suddenly stepped on something, and with a 'bang', the ground collapsed, and the two cousins fell in together. Cao Cao was startled, and then he saw that this was a cellar, and the lid was softened by the fire, and it was stepped on by the brothers, and it was difficult to support, so it collapsed.

Cao Cao hurriedly jumped down, and saw that the entire Cao Mansion was here, no wonder a single relative above couldn't see it. It's just a pity that these people escaped the fire, but they couldn't escape after all, because this cellar is not small, but after the fire started, there was gradually no air in it, and people suffocated to death in it.

The three of them knelt down and wept bitterly, and Cao Cao hugged his father's corpse in pain, tears raining down. Cao Ren and Cao Hong were originally orphans, and they grew up in Cao Cao's house since they were children, and it can also be said that the people lying in this cellar are also their closest people.

Suddenly, Cao Cao's hand touched something, it was a piece of white cloth that his father tore off from his underwear, and a few big characters were written crookedly on it: Qinghong, go to Songshan, Taiyiguan, find wood.

The words were written in blood, obviously not finished, and it should be that the old man did not have enough time. But the meaning is also clearer, is to go to Songshan Taiyi Temple to find 'Qinghong Sword', as for why the sword is hidden in Songshan, this 'wood' is a place name with wooden characters, or the name of a person with wooden characters, it is unknown.

"Big brother, this must have been done by the thieves of 'Hongmen', and if they have revenge, they will not revenge the non-gentleman, so they will fight with them. ”

"Not only do you have to repay it, but you want them to pay it back twice. Big brother, what do you say?"

"The revenge of destroying the family and destroying the clan will naturally be avenged. But it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Do you still remember that the last sentence of the old abbot's advice is also to go to Songshan to find something, and Songshan is also mentioned in the blood book. ”

"Okay, without further ado, let's go. ”

"This time, we have to take a short approach, go directly to Kaifeng, and then turn to Songyang County, the road is the closest. “

Cao Cao pondered for a moment: "No, let's not take a shortcut, let's go back the same way, go around to Xuchang and then go north to Songgao County." “

Since there are people from the 'Hongmen' entangled, the shortcut may not arrive at Songshan earlier, Cao Cao decided to go the opposite way, but he took a long way.

The three of them knocked their heads a few more times before jumping out of the cellar, tearing down half of the remnant wall and burying the cellar. It's best to be buried here, at least in peace.

Apparently the thieves broke into the house to search for the 'Qinghong Sword', not only the sword was not found, but even the figure of the Cao family was not seen, so they set fire to the village.

Riding on the horse, Cao Cao looked back at the small village for the last time, and said in his heart, "All the innocent relatives and villagers who died unjustly, one day I will come back to give you a beautiful burial." “

This is still a dangerous situation, and there is a possibility that the 'Hongmen' killer may appear at any time. The group hurried back along the road they had come.

Running out for about thirty miles in one go, seeing a small town in front of him, Cao Hong said: "Big brother, little junior sister and Miss Zhang's daughter, the road is bumpy, there is a small town in front of you, why don't you eat something and then hurry?"

Cao Cao looked at the two girls, both of them were dusty servants, their faces were tired, and they couldn't help but feel guilty: "It's all Cao Cao's sin, which caused the two of them to suffer." Second brother, fourth brother, you go into the town to buy some food, let's eat on the road, it's not safe here, it's not appropriate to stay too long. ”

Cao Ren and Cao Hong rode their horses, and Cao Cao and the others waited on the side of the road.

"Senior brother, Yue'er is fine, Yue'er is not afraid of hard work. ”

"Don't worry about Engong, Mei'er is a subordinate, and she has long been used to hardships. ”

Cao Cao smiled apologetically and looked around vigilantly in case someone was chasing him.

"Senior Brother" Li Ru asked, "Is the 'Qinghong Sword' really in Songshan?"

"Yes, if I'm expecting it to be good, it's in Songshan. ”

"But Songshan is so big, how to find it?"

Cao Cao handed him the blood book, Li Ru took it, and saw a few blood characters, as well as a pattern drawn with blood, and some of them looked like lotus flowers if you looked closely.

"Could it be the Taiyi View Lotus Cave?" Li Ru thought to himself, but he didn't say it.

Taking the blood book, Cao Cao carefully put it into his arms, his eyes crossed the vast time and space, as if he had arrived at Songshan, he silently said in his heart: "Songshan, my Cao Cao is coming, 'Qinghong Sword', 'Qinghong Sword', no matter where you are now, you must wait for me!"
