Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 33 Tying the Knot
Guan Yu couldn't help but become impatient, holding the Qinglong Sword in his hand, he was restless, and his originally red face became even redder because of his impatience.
Cao Cao hurriedly reassured him, saying that this was just speculation, after all, except for Guan Yu, the others present had not even seen what Kebi looked like, and they were not sure that they had premeditated plans.
Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Kebineng will be unfavorable to Liu Bei, it will have to wait until the 'double-strand sword' appears, because both Zhang Jiao and Kebineng are fighting the idea of the 'double-strand sword'.
Speaking of this, Guan Yu looked at the female sword on his back, and his heart was a little more stable, and he was busy asking Cao Cao how to deal with it.
Cao Cao straightened out his thoughts, and said while analyzing: "According to Brother Guan's words, this time, Deputy Gang Leader Liu rushed to Jizhou to meet after receiving a letter from his father-in-law Mi Zhen, so that they could discuss ways to deal with the enemy and retrieve the sword. As for the agreed location, Jizhou Julu City, it was set by Mi Zhen's predecessors, except for the three Liu Bei brothers who received the letter, no one else should know!"
Guan Yu and everyone nodded frequently.
Cao Cao continued: "And it just so happened that almost at the same time, Fan Lao's gang leader sent another deputy gang leader, Ke Bineng, to come to help in the battle, and even the White Tiger Hall Master Murong Guang, the Xuanwu Hall Master Yu Wengui and the Vermilion Bird Hall Master Tuoba Shi all brought it, so it is definitely not right: First of all, the three brothers of the Deputy Gang Master Liu came to Julu for personal matters and had nothing to do with the beggar gang, while Brother Guan and the others are all first-class masters, and they really don't need help from others. “
"Secondly, taking a step back, even if Old Fan Gang Leader had the heart to help his disciples, he would not exhaust the elite of the Beggar Gang and send Deputy Gang Leader Ke and the three hall masters of White Tiger, Xuanwu and Vermilion Bird at the same time. ”
"Third, according to Brother Guan, there is a bit of estrangement between the two deputy gang leaders Liu and Ke, and they are competitors to the beggar gang leaders in the future, how could Fan Lao Gang Leader ignore such a sensitive issue!"
"Also, if they are really here to help in the war, then how can Murong Guang come to Handan to assassinate tonight? It can't be to make some extra money, right? Assuming that Kebineng is the young master, then it is likely that these people rushed to Julu to collude with Zhang Jiao and snatch the Five Elements Sword. Then there is another possibility, that is, in addition to Murong Guang, the deputy gang leader Ke Bineng, and the three hall masters are all descendants of the Buyeo Kingdom. “
"Moreover, in the change of power, the Kebineng clan gained the upper hand and became the so-called 'young master'. Judging from the current situation, the instability of the Han Dynasty and the turmoil in the world are the so-called good opportunities for the restoration of the country. It's just that with the strength of Kebi alone, if you want to restore the country, you must rely on the strength of others. ”
"Speaking of which, the beggar gang is a force, and now the beggar gang is in the desert, helping tens of thousands, if the nest is poured south into the Central Plains, it is a new force. It's just that Kebineng is not the leader of the gang and can't control the beggar gang for the time being, and the old gang leader Fan is more biased towards Liu Bei, so at this stage, Kebineng can't count on the beggar gang. ”
"On the contrary, if you cooperate with the Yellow Turban Army that is in full swing at the moment, it will inevitably be a shortcut, but in this way, a new question arises: what conditions can Kebi Neng come up with to trade with Zhang Jiao?"
When Cao Cao talked about Zhang Jiao, everyone was suddenly shocked: In addition to Lu Bu, who is Mi Zhen's great enemy, who is the other Zhang family? Since he agreed to act in Jizhou, could it have something to do with Zhang Jiao?
Cao Cao raised this question, and soon got an answer, because Doctor Zhang was the elder of the Zhang family, how could he not know about the affairs of the family?
At this time, Ah Fu and others brought some porridge and rice, and Doctor Zhang invited everyone to chat while eating.
Indeed, after being tired all the way, everyone was also a little hungry, so they were no longer polite.
Steamed buns, gruel, pickles, these simple meals taste extraordinarily fragrant!
In fact, the requirements of ordinary people are not too high, if there are these things to eat, how can there be people who follow Zhang Jiao and other artificial rebellions?
While eating, Doctor Zhang told everyone some old things.
"The ancestor Zhang Liang made meritorious contributions with Emperor Gaozu and was named a waiter, but the ancestor knew the truth that the bird was hidden by the bow, so he let the marquis of Wanhu not do it, and would rather take charge of the 'Seven Star Sword' and protect the sword of the Son of Heaven for the empire. The ancestor originally intended to go to Julu in person, but the ancestor did not allow it, so he ordered the eldest son Zhang Budo to go north, because Woniu Mountain is at the junction of Julu County and Qinghe County, so for hundreds of years, Zhang Budo and his family except for the eldest son stayed in Woniu Mountain, the rest of the descendants lived on the other side of the Xiaoqing River, that is, Qinghe County; “
Doctor Zhang was a little tired, paused and continued: "After that, the Han Dynasty prospered, and my Zhang family lived in Qinghe County and lived and worked in peace and contentment. Originally, there were many people surnamed Zhang living in Qinghe County, and since the ancestors Zhang Liang's descendants came, because they all had the same surname, they were quite harmonious with each other. For hundreds of years, we have worshiped Ganling Mountain and drank the water of the Qinghe River, although we are not of the same origin, we have also become the same sect. “
"Later, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and became independent, the old ministers of the Han family all fought against it, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu raised troops in Jizhou, there was a chance to gather the Five Elements Sword, take the sword of the Emperor of Heaven to revitalize the country's fortunes, but unfortunately, the Zhou Bo family's 'Purple Electric Sword' was only passed down for one generation and disappeared; Therefore, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu only got the 'Qinghong Sword' and the 'Seven Star Sword', how could he open the Calvary Platform?"
"What I didn't expect was that the descendants of Zhang Pijiang took the opportunity to steal the 'Seven Star Sword', because this time Emperor Guangwu revived, this one is a lot of credit, trying to take advantage of the situation to overwhelm Zhang Budo one, so fought for a few years, and finally sued the emperor, only to finally cut the eldest son of the ancestor to take charge of the 'Seven Star Sword', the second son was not satisfied, so he resigned and did not do it, and later I heard that he joined the 'Hongmen'. ”
"Eighteen years ago, the old cousin died suddenly, and Zhang Jiao's grandson broke away from the 'Hongmen' and came to Qinghe County to join the old man, only saying that there was an infighting in the 'Hongmen' and he was willing to return to his homeland. The old man didn't know the inside story of 'Hongmen', and he thought of the same clan and clan, so he agreed to Zhang Jiao's grandson and his clansmen to move to Julu County. It's just that he didn't know where to get this "Taiping Sutra" a few years ago, so he founded the Taiping God Cult, and in recent years, it has been even worse, organizing the Yellow Turban Army to rise up, opposing the imperial court, and the old man has also tried to persuade him, but he has returned in vain, and he has been discouraged. “
"The old man was shameless to stay in Qinghe County anymore, so he came to Handan City and did something for these suffering people to make up for the self-blame and guilt in the heart of the old man. I can't think that this rebel son has annihilated human nature, and even wants to kill the old decay. ”
Everyone discussed for a while, and felt that no matter whether Ke Bineng joined forces with Zhang Jiao or not, Liu Bei and the others were always in danger in Julu City, Guan Yu was very anxious, and he couldn't wait to set off overnight to inform the eldest brother.
Cao Cao must not stand idly by, and decided to go with Guan Yu, and Guan Yu was naturally grateful. Seeing that the road was uneven, he drew his sword to help, since Cao Cao encountered this matter, how could he sit idly by! Not to mention that Guan Yu's arm injury had not healed and needed help, not to mention that the 'double-strand sword' was related to the little junior sister and the sword of the Son of Heaven, no matter what, Cao Cao wanted Julu and his party.
It's just that considering that Zhang Mei needs further treatment, and he has to wait for Cao Ren and Cao Hong to find out the news of the little junior sister, they will come to Handan to meet, so it was agreed that Cao Cao, Xiahoudun and Guan Yu would go to Julu early tomorrow morning, leaving Xiahou Yuan to take care of and protect Zhang Mei.
Doctor Zhang insisted on staying to treat the epidemic people, and Ao Tianxiang and Ruan Tianxing had no choice but to stay and protect.
The night was already deep, so everyone rested early in the room arranged by Dr. Zhang.
Cao Cao helped Zhang Mei into a room, Zhang Mei didn't say a word, she looked preoccupied, and her eyes were always red.
Cao Cao helped her sit on a stool and poured her a bowl of hot water. Seeing her expression, she asked, "What's wrong?" Are you worried about your father?"
Zhang Mei looked at Cao Cao, and tears finally rolled down her eyes, "Brother Cao, do you look down on Mei'er and don't want Mei'er anymore?"
"Silly girl, how could it be? Brother Cao looked down on you. ”
"I know, my father has done a lot of wrong things, even my uncle is very dissatisfied with my father, so many refugees, is it not caused by the war? I am her own daughter, you must hate Mei'er. “
"No, you are you, your father is your father, don't think nonsense, the doctor said, your injuries don't matter, you will recover in a few days. ”
"Then why do you leave Mei'er here alone? Mei'er would rather go with Brother Cao, and ask her father what he did in person. ”
"Isn't there still the second brother Xiahou, besides, you still have to wait for the news of the second brother and the third brother, don't worry, I will be back soon." ”
"Brother Cao," Zhang Mei suddenly knelt down for Cao Cao, "Don't hurt my father, even if he is not, but after all, it is my father after all." ”
Cao Cao hurriedly pulled her up and responded: "Don't worry, your father is so powerful, how can I have the ability to hurt him, Liu Bei is the husband of the junior sister-in-law, how can Brother Cao not save him when he dies?"
Zhang Mei buried her head in Cao Cao's arms and cried non-stop.
Maybe she was tired, crying and crying and falling asleep in his arms, Cao Cao lightly put her on the bed, and was afraid that she would have something to do at night, so he laid out a list and slept on the floor.
A rooster crowed, and it was dawn.
Cao Cao slept very deeply this night, and he had almost never slept a peaceful sleep in the past few days, so this night, he slept very sweetly. When he woke up, his first consciousness was to look at Zhang Mei, but found that she was not in bed.
When she turned her head, she saw that she was sleeping next to her, probably because there was some cool breeze in the second half of the night, so she curled her body and clinged to Cao Cao tightly.
And when Cao Cao saw the situation of the two, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Clear.. It is clear that there was a husband and wife last night.
Cao Cao opened his bow left and right, gave himself two slaps, and scolded himself for being a bastard. She hurriedly went to shake Zhang Mei, but found that she couldn't wake her up, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly went out and called Doctor Zhang loudly.
Fortunately, there was a divine doctor Zhang, Zhang Mei walked away in the ghost gate, and was pulled back by the divine doctor.
"Luckily, fortunately. Although my granddaughter is thin, fortunately with the support of willpower, she finally escaped a catastrophe, alas, but unfortunately after this catastrophe, I am afraid that her life will be reduced by ten years. “
Cao Cao was very remorseful, and he blamed himself! Ten years of life, the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he blamed himself, looking at Zhang Mei's pale face, Cao Cao was like an ant on a hot pot, and hit the floor with his head.
Instead, Doctor Zhang advised: "Young Xia doesn't have to blame himself, the two of you already have the status of husband and wife, you can see that this girl is infatuated with Shaoxia, and you two will tie the knot sooner or later." The old man expected it to be good, it must have been a night when the young man's illness attacked, and she was... ”
Yes, last night the divine doctor said in public that if you want to get rid of the excess internal force in your body, you need a woman to save you.
When Doctor Zhang took Cao Cao's pulse, sure enough, the skills that Cao Cao couldn't absorb in his body were gone.
At this time, Zhang Mei opened her eyes slightly, saw Cao Cao, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Brother Cao is going, but you want it." Be careful. ”
