More than 30 people fell to the ground one by one, holding their heads to avoid the strong wind.

Cao Cao and the others took advantage of the situation to protect Zhang Zhaozhen and the others and rushed to the other side.

The husband and wife put away their internal strength, stood still, and looked for the man led by the other party.

The two didn't want to hurt people's lives for no reason, so they showed mercy to their subordinates, and only used six or seven successes, intending to resolve the siege of Cao Cao and others.

The man at the head of the group, like his companions, lay on the grass to avoid the wind, and waited until the wind and waves were calm, then he stood up in a panic, and at a glance saw the Mo couple standing in front of him, and hurriedly shouted to his subordinates to get up.

Most of these people fell with blue noses and swollen faces, and half of them just dodged, and even threw away the long knives in their hands, trembling one by one, and they dared to fight!

The man named Wang Hu trembled and said: "Third master, these two people are good at using demon methods, and heroes don't suffer the losses in front of them." ”

Xu Bao next to him also said: "Third master, the princess was robbed, the matter is very important, let's go and report to the second master." ”

The man led by him spat at this time, and said angrily: "I have long heard that Zhang Jiao and others are good at using demon methods, and today I can be regarded as admitting the third master, but you kidnap the princess, we will never give up, wait and see!"

Hula ran away without a trace in an instant.

I haven't had time to ask the question yet!

At this time, Cao Cao and the others also came to him, and they were all equally confused.

It's just inexplicable!

After such a thing, I am in no mood to look for the 'dragon bone', anyway, whether this so-called snake bone really exists is still unknown.

After some fighting, everyone was also a little tired, so they discussed going back to the city first, and then making plans. Those few people who have been demented will be brought back to Qinghe for the time being.

Shortly after the return, when passing a three-way intersection, Cao Cao suddenly pointed to a fork in the road and asked, "Where does this path lead?"

"Oh, along this path to the northwest, less than three hundred paces, is a mountain temple. ”

"Mountain Temple?

Zhang Zhaozhen shook his head: "This temple was built by the government, and every time a new official arrives, he will go to worship, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter." “

"In other words, people can't go on weekdays?"

"Naturally, this is the tomb of the ancestors, and even this forest is rarely visited except on the day of sacrifice. Why did the young man ask?"

Cao Cao didn't answer, squatted down, and looked carefully at the weeds on the ground.

Everyone followed his line of sight, and sure enough, they found a few footprints hidden in the weeds.

The footprints are looming, and if you don't look closely, you really can't find them. Because this small fork in the road is unwalked, and there are knee-high weeds on the road, it is barely possible to confirm that it is a road.

Mo Wenxue also came over, looked at it carefully, and said: "The footprints are on the grass, and the grass is not broken, it seems that this person is not weak." ”

Judging from the size of the footprints, it can be concluded that it is a man, and the grass is trampled, bent but not broken, indicating that this person is not only light and strong, but also running rapidly. ”

Cao Cao got up as he spoke, and asked the old man Zhang Zhaozhen: "Why is there such a strange rule, only the government can worship?"

It is said that this temple has been built for more than 200 years, and it is true that only the government can come here to worship, but the worship of the official government will lead a few people in Qinghe City to accompany some highly respected people. ”

Zhang Liao analyzed: "Kong Taishou has died, the new official has not yet taken office, and this footprint is obviously done by one person, since it is suspicious, it is better to go and take a look." “

"Could it be that the gang just stepped on it?" Cao Hong interjected.

Cao Cao immediately shook his head: "Ken Ran is not! Although the gang of people just now is aggressive, their kung fu is mediocre, and they don't have such good light skills." ”

As soon as Cao Cao said this, a thought suddenly popped up at the same time: Could it be that the people of the 'Iron Boat Gang' are here?

Cao Cao decided to go and investigate.

In the fierce fight just now, Zhang Zhaozhen's grandfather and grandson were all frightened, so they temporarily rested here, and the Mo family was strong in martial arts, so in order to prevent the sneak attack of the 'Iron Boat Gang', they left for protection.

Cao Cao took Zhang Liao and Cao Hong together, and the three of them followed the footprints all the way, and it didn't take long to reach a temple.

The temple sits on a flat hill with its south and north sides, surrounded by 'intoxicating trees', and the trees here look more ancient and vicissitudes, each trunk is much thicker than the woods below.

This is a small temple that can not be broken again, in addition to the scale is too small, and dilapidated, even the temple gate is not there, the light here is dark, from a distance, the door is like a black hole.

It looks like it was built of blue bricks, and the exterior wall of the temple has faint traces of color.

Looking at the appearance from the outside, the construction time was much earlier than one or two hundred years as the old man Zhang Zhaozhen said.

And the footprints are trying their best to break the temple.

After entering, the smell of mold rushed to my nose, and when I looked up, I saw that the corners of the walls were full of cobwebs, and when I looked down, there were dust under my feet, and several rattan sticks stuck out of the window.

Cao Hong covered his nose and muttered, "Big brother, look like this, I don't know how many years no one has come." ”

Cao Cao is also very strange, the old man Zhang Zhaozhen clearly said that this temple was built by the government, and it should be taken care of by someone from time to time, at least Taishou and others occasionally worship, and it will not fall into such a state.

His eyes searched carefully for footprints, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found a yellow object in the corner, and hurriedly walked to the corner of the wall, and gently pulled it with the long knife in his hand, and then the light was faint, and then he saw that it was a shoe.

Yellow shoes worn by a woman.

Cao Cao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, this is a soft-soled yellow silk pearl shoe, which is a left foot, although it is a thing that women wear on weekdays, but it is extremely elegant, but the gold silk thread is not used by ordinary people.

The owner of the shoes seems to be either from a dignitary or a wealthy businessman's family, Cao Cao immediately searched again, but he didn't find another one.

Cao Hong asked, "Could it be that the 'Iron Boat Gang' is a woman?"

Zhang Liao immediately replied: "No, the footprints along the way must have been left by a man, and they are definitely not such embroidered shoe footprints." ”

"Oh, by the way, I see, big brother, do you think it's that princess?"

"Princess?" Cao Cao nodded, "What the fourth brother said is reasonable, do you still remember, Shicai's gang kept asking us to hand over the princess, could it be that these shoes were left by her?"

"Why did the princess come here?"

"The man at the head insisted that we kidnapped the princess, and said that Zhang Jiao knew how to use demon methods, yes, could it be that Zhang Jiao sent someone to kidnap the princess?" Zhang Liao also guessed.

While listening to the analysis of the two, Cao Cao checked the traces on the ground again, and said after a while: "If the owner of this shoe is the robbed princess, then she will definitely shout and struggle, so there should be many messy footprints on the ground." ”

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Zhang Liao and Cao Hong also looked down together, and they really couldn't find any clues.

The three of them quickly inspected the entire temple and immediately noticed something unusual: there was no idol in the temple.

There is clearly a base, even the incense burner is there, but the idol is missing.

Since there is a base, it shows that there was once a statue of a god, and the officials of Qinghe occasionally worshipped, so it is impossible to worship the base.

"Could it be that the mountain god has gone out to visit the door?" Cao Hong blurted out.

Seeing Cao Cao's solemn faces, Cao Hong secretly stuck out his tongue.

"There are a lot of strange things about this matter, and we can't guess it for a while, but the younger brother has something unclear, the capital is thousands of miles away, what is the princess doing in Ganling Mountain?"

Cao Cao immediately said: "Two brothers, the current emperor is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he has not yet married, how can he have an heir? “

"Yes, the emperor is so young, even if there is a princess, she is still a baby at this time. Cao Hong muttered to himself.

"Then, could it be the eldest princess?" Zhang Liao suddenly thought.

"This is somewhat possible, but the first emperor has only one sister, and she has already married Xiliang. ”

This eldest princess is also a hard-working person, just because Dong Zhuo is in power and controls the imperial court, in order to stabilize the Dong family, the first emperor married her to the Dong family in Xiliang, which became a bargaining chip.

Could it be her?

I heard that this princess's life in the Dong family was very unsatisfactory, and she was depressed all day long, riddled with diseases, and even the funeral of her mother's concubine, the Dong family did not let her enter Beijing to participate, let alone come to this Ganling Mountain.

Taking a step back, even if she came for some special reason, she must have been escorted by officers and soldiers, not the reckless men just now!

The three of them looked at the yellow shoe, and they couldn't figure it out for a moment.

was thinking about it, and suddenly heard an abnormal wind outside, as if something was whistling, and the three of them shouted in their hearts, and hurriedly jumped out of the temple with internal strength.

At the same time, there was a loud 'click', and a huge stone fell from the sky, smashing the temple to pieces.

Under the impact of air waves and dust, Cao Cao and the three of them were swallowed.

When the dust settled, the three of them got up from the ground and slapped the dust off their bodies, only to find that the temple had been destroyed.

Such a boulder, to say the least, weighs hundreds of pounds, where does it come from?

"Haha....."

There was a burst of laughter overhead, like a bell, piercing the clouds and cracking stones.

The three of them looked up, and sure enough, they found that on the branch of the huge 'intoxicating tree' behind the temple, there was a strong man, who was too tall, as strong as an ox, shirtless, and full of chest hair.

"Good skills, good skills, I can dodge my grandfather's blow. ”

As he spoke, he jumped from a tree and landed in front of the three of them.

The three of them looked at the strong man, and thought to themselves, could it be that these footprints were left by him? After thinking about it, they thought that it might not be big, this man was so stout, and when he stepped on it, he was afraid that the grass would become mud, how could he bend and not break?

"Who are you, and why did you destroy the temple?"

The strong man didn't answer, picked up the boulder in his hand and smashed it.

The three of them dodged, and then they saw that the strong man was holding a big stone in both hands, using it as a weapon, and swept it over again.

The three of them used their long knives to block the boulder at the same time, and sparks flew everywhere, chopping down countless rubble.

Hurriedly taking a few steps back, the three of them suddenly felt numb in their mouths and a faint pain in their forearms.

The strong man laughed, and the boulder smashed again. This time, Cao Cao and the three of them no longer collided with him, flipped on the spot, divided into three directions, in the shape of the word 'pin', and the long knife also attacked the strong man at three angles at the same time.

The strong man was playing happily, and suddenly saw the three of them attacking separately, and shouted 'Fun, fun.' ’

He held the boulder, spinning in place like a top, and the three long knives were knocked open by the boulder.

Zhang Liao was injured in Woniu Villa, his body had not fully recovered, and he was unstable in his grip for a while, and the long knife was knocked out of his hand by a boulder and flew out for a long time.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was frustrated, the strong man was even more proud, and with a force in his right hand, he actually 'picked' a small stone from the boulder and smashed it into Zhang Liao's head.

Zhang Liao was shocked and had no time to dodge, so he threw out a 'plum blossom sword' in a hurry, and the stone swords collided and fell to the ground.

The strong man blinked, he didn't expect Zhang Liao to have this kung fu, and he was suddenly interested again, so he 'picked' a few small stones in a row, and sent them out one after another like marbles.

It was close at hand, the speed of the stones was fast, Zhang Liao's body was unstable, and it would be difficult to avoid the three stones at the same time.

Cao Cao saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly threw out the long knife in his hand to block the stones.

The "bell" knocked down a piece.

But there are still a few pieces in the back, and I saw that I had arrived at Zhang Liaomian Gate.
