Duan Jue shook the soft whip with a snapping sound, so that the old man and the two couldn't get close, and the man with the silver fork also stepped forward, and the three of them surrounded Duan Jue in the center.

Cao Cao chased forward and saw the young son, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Sun?"

The young man was also very surprised: "It turned out to be Brother Cao." ”

No one thought that they would meet old friends here. The young man is Sun Ce, the old man is Huang Gai, Shen Qingfeng who holds a silver fork, and Tai Shici and Cao Cao who make the bronze sword also know each other.

Seeing that Sun Ce and the four of them were wearing filial piety clothes, Cao Cao was shocked and asked, "Brother Sun, this is... ？”

Sun Ce had tears in his eyes: "As soon as Lutou Mountain said goodbye that day, my brother hurried back, but it was still a step too late, 'Hongmen' led the imperial army to attack 'Jiang ASEAN', my father swore to resist to the death, but there was a traitor in the alliance, 'Jiang ASEAN' was destroyed, and my father was unfortunately killed. ”

After Sun Ce finished speaking, Huang Gai and the others couldn't stop crying. Seeing that everyone was distracted, Duan Qi wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. "The thief is gone. Cao Cao shouted, and Huang Gai surrounded him again.

"Why is Brother Cao here?"

"This person's name is Duan Jue, he was originally the eunuch in front of the first emperor, but he took refuge in Dong Zhuo, sold himself to the 'Hongmen', and forced the old patriarch and Kong Taishou to death in order to seize the Zhang family's 'Qiankun Bow', the wolf ambition is heinous. ”

"What? is he Duan Jue?" When Sun Ce and the four of them heard this name, they immediately gritted their teeth, and their eyes were red.

"It's really a narrow road, it's you, a thief, who led the crowd to destroy the 'Jiang ASEAN' and killed the old alliance leader. Huang Gai and the three of them immediately brandished their weapons, eager to break him to pieces.

Duan Jue secretly complained in his heart, he was unlucky today, but at this time, he met the remnants of the 'Jiang ASEAN', his eyes turned, and he randomly put on an innocent look: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the old slave is also acting on orders, and he can't help himself, the old alliance leader is not going to die, but there is a civil strife in the alliance, and the old slave has nothing to do." ”

It was indeed Dong Zhuo who sent him, because as the head of the Eight King Kongs, he was ruthless and spicy, his martial arts were high, and he was very effective.

"When death is imminent, you dare to quibble. "Huang Gai and the three of them don't eat this set.

"Young Alliance Master, there is something to discuss. When the first emperor was there, the lord of the Sun League once raised filial piety and entered Beijing as the captain of the Luoyang garrison, and he has always been good friends with the old slave, and he is like a brother. . . “

"Stop" Cao Cao heard the words 'love and brotherhood', and he was angry, and in Zhang's mansion, Duan Jue also said that Cao's father was 'like a brother'.

"Everyone, get out of the way, I want to take the life of this dog thief and avenge the innocent souls of my father and the 'Jiang ASEAN'. He pulled out a sword, the body of the sword was purple-red, as fast as lightning, and it was in front of Duan Jue's eyes in a blink of an eye.

Huang Gai and the others flashed to the side and asked the leader of the Young Alliance to single out Duan Jue.

At this time, Duan Qi had long lost his will to fight, and he also knew that if he fell into the hands of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

Facing the battle head-on, Duan Jue only defended and did not attack, his eyes were always staring around, still ready to wait for an opportunity to escape.

'Purple Qi from the East', 'Electric Light Stone Fire', 'Purple Hair Like a Halberd', 'Electric Anger and Thunder', Sun Ce made four moves in a row, the long sword flew, the purple light flickered, like a flying fire meteor, thunder, forcing Duan Qi to be in a hurry, carelessly, a hole in his chest was swept.

Unexpectedly, this Sun Ce, his martial arts are much more powerful than his Lao Tzu, and if he doesn't play up his spirit, he will inevitably become a ghost under his sword.

Duan Jue shook the soft whip and used the characteristics of points, winding, flogging, binding, and hooking, in an attempt to disrupt Sun Ce's rhythm.

But Sun Ce was not affected by it, and he used his family's inherited swordsmanship to avenge his father.

'Purple Jade Becomes Smoke', 'Electric Tide Ming', 'Crape Myrtle Qingdu', 'Electric Shine Wind', Sun Ce is four moves in one breath.

And before he made a move, Sun Ce read out the name of the sword move at the same time, which made Duan Jue even more upset, because of these moves, he had seen the old alliance leader use it with his own eyes. Fighting with Sun Ce, his mind was full of scenes of fighting with the old alliance leader, and his mind couldn't concentrate no matter what.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. There is a ghost in his heart, and his moves and pace are chaotic, and in the face of Sun Ce's tight move, Duan Qi unknowingly has been hit by several swords on his body.

Originally, Duan Jue's martial arts were much higher than Sun Ce's, but at this time, he had no master of the six gods, and he had no fighting spirit, like a lost dog, he was defeated and retreated one after another, and even took off the soft whip, and in a panic, he turned around and ran.

Sun Ce caught up with him with an arrow step, and used the last form of 'Purple Electric Clear Frost', and a sword entered the back of his neck and came out of his throat.

"You ruined my 'Jiang ASEAN', killed my relatives and friends, turned over the box, dug three feet into the ground, and what you were looking for was nothing more than the long sword in my hand!" he said, drawing the sword.

Duan Jue turned his head, tried his best, and said three words: "Purple Electric Sword." "When he was dying, he could be regarded as seeing the 'Purple Electric Sword', but he had no regrets.

A few people sat on the ground, and Cao Cao knew that Duan Jue had led his troops to destroy the 'Jiang ASEAN', but unfortunately he didn't find the 'Purple Electric Sword', so according to Dong Zhuo's instructions, he imprisoned more than 20 people in the 'Jiang ASEAN'. And when Sun Ce, Huang Gai, and Shen Qingfeng arrived, they only saw the book silk left by Duan Qi hanging on the wall of the lobby, and he was limited to carry the 'Purple Electric Sword' to Qinghe County, Jizhou within ten days, otherwise he would open and kill.

Sun Ce and the three of them hurriedly dealt with the funeral, and then rushed to the Purple Mountain in Stone City, took out the 'Purple Electric Sword' that had been sealed for many years, and rushed to Jizhou overnight.

After killing Duan Jue, he finally let out a bad breath, but what should he do next? Cao Cao and Sun Ce proposed different plans.

Sun Ce thought that although Duan Jue was dead, Duan Shuiqing had escaped, after all, there were still dozens of members of the 'Jiang ASEAN' who were imprisoned, so he should strike while the iron was hot, chase him into Qinghe City, find Duan Shuiqing, and ask the whereabouts of the prisoners.

Cao Cao thought that Duan Jue was just a pawn between Dong Zhuo and the 'Hongmen', and the real enemies should be Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and the 'Jiang ASEAN' was far away from here, and the prisoners were definitely not in Qinghe.

Sun Ce thought that since Lu Bu and the others were on their way to Qinghe, it was better to take the initiative to attack, ambush him in the city in advance, kill him by surprise, and avenge the death of his relatives.

Cao Cao believes that the national disaster is at the head, and the family feud should be put down first, and now the Five Elements Sword has gathered the third, plus the 'Seven Star Sword' in the Woniu Villa, everyone should unite and seek the Son of Heaven Sword and Gaozu Jin Mu first.

In the end, a compromise plan was chosen, after all, they had reached the foot of Woniu Mountain, Cao Cao and Xiahoudun first delivered the 'Qiankun Bow' safely to Zhuang Zhiliao, while Sun Ce and others entered Qinghe City first. Both sides first discussed countermeasures with the Zhang clan, and once the plan was made, they sent people to contact each other.

Without further ado, Sun Ce and the others set off immediately, first taking advantage of Duan Shuiqing's panic, to control him first, so as to prepare for dealing with Lu Bu. Cao Cao briefly introduced Zhang Zhaohuai and other old people, dealing with 'Hongmen' in the city, and they couldn't do without Zhang's support and help.

It was still early, and the two sides cherished each other, and then each took his own self.

Looking at the back of Sun Ce and others riding away on horseback, Cao Cao looked at the 'Qinghong Sword' in his hand, and seemed to be thoughtful, to this day, the scene in the White Horse Temple seems to be just yesterday, the old abbot's trust, the emperor's expectations, the national fortune of the Han Dynasty, and the rise and fall of the family, all of which are pinned on the sword of the Son of Heaven and the golden sword of Gaozu.

Dong Zhuo, 'Hongmen', Zhang Jiao, as well as Ke Bineng and Duan Qi, are exhausted and unscrupulous, aren't they also doing this?

Among the Five Elements Sword, except for the 'Seven Star Sword', all of them have appeared, the 'Qinghong Sword' and the 'Overlord Sword' are already in hand, the 'Double-strand Sword' is in Liu Bei's hand, and the 'Purple Electric Sword' is in Sun Ce's hand. In this way, the conditions for opening the Calvary as mentioned by the old abbot and others are basically ready.

By the way, there is also this 'Qiankun Bow', I heard Duan Jue say that it was also used when it was opened, and I don't know what it was used for, but how to say that it is also in my own hands, and it will be foolproof if it is handed over to the owner of Zhang Liao Zhuang on Woniu Mountain.

There is another question that has always lingered in Cao Cao's mind, but he doesn't know who to ask, that is: The Heavenly Sword, even if it is revered as the sword of the Son of Heaven, and the Gaozu Golden Sword, is only a few words, what is written on it? The Han Empire is now declining to such a point, it is already terminally ill, and it is difficult to return, can it really turn the tide and change the fortunes of the Han Dynasty by relying on a sword and a piece of sword?

The sun was in the west, and the afterglow was reflected on Cao Cao's resolute face, his eyes were full of firmness and perseverance, no matter what the result was, he would start and finish this matter well, and never give up. The country hates family hatred, if God really hands over this thousand catties of burden to himself, then it is incumbent on him to have no hesitation.

It wasn't until Xiahoudun gently patted him on the shoulder that Cao Cao was pulled back to reality. Cao Cao stretched out his palms and looked at each other expectantly, Xiahoudun did not hesitate, and his eyes firmly high-fived Cao Cao. Two large hands clasped tightly together.

"Good brother," Cao Cao said.

"Good brother" Xiahoudun also responded.

Not knowing the way up the mountain, the two walked through the woods and along the foot of the mountain, and saw a village looming in front of them in the distance, so they quickened their pace.

When I came to the entrance of the village, I found that the village was actually very large, but because it was located at the foot of the mountain, the village was cut into several large pieces, not a whole.

It is estimated that there is no planning, and the streets in the village are sometimes wide and narrow, sometimes straight and sometimes curved, but they are very clean, and there are not even a single weed.

Suddenly I found that there was a tavern in front of me, it was already dark, and night was falling, so it was better to go to the tavern to eat something, and inquire about the way up the mountain by the way.

Two red lanterns hang on each side of the tavern's entrance, and the red candlelight will reflect the word "cow" embroidered on the lanterns, which is particularly eye-catching.

When I entered the tavern, I found that it was very deserted, and there were not a single guest. Perhaps it is because the village is remote, there are not many foreign guests, and most of the people in this village are farmers, which leads to the scarcity of customers.

There are no guests, there are a lot of hosts, there is a shopkeeper in his fifties sitting on the right side of the lobby, with his head bowed and the account book in one hand, and the abacus crackling in the other, Cao Cao and the two came in, and he didn't even raise his head. The guys are a bit exaggerated, standing in two rows of five people on the left and right.

Cao Cao thought it was very strange, there was not a single guest, there were ten guys to serve, even the big restaurants in the capital couldn't use so many runs, right?

It's a strange thing to make money in this business.

What's even more strange is that two guests finally came, and the shopkeeper didn't say anything if he didn't say hello, but none of the ten guys came up to greet the guests, and they all stood still, looking at Cao Cao and the two with expressionless faces.

What kind of tavern is this? Cao Cao and the others were a little confused, and they remembered that in the restaurants and taverns in the past, as long as there were guests entering the door, the guys all bent down to greet each other with a smile, and shouted one by one, but what is going on today?

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he wondered, and he couldn't help but be secretly alert: Could it be that there is something wrong with this tavern?
