Chapter 53: Escape from the capital
The next day, Cao Cao and I brought the treasure knife to see Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo called himself "Prime Minister", and the Dong Mansion became the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Along the way, I suddenly remembered something and asked why Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao said: "After the banquet in Wen Mingyuan that day, Ding Yuan raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo on the second day, Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's righteous son, he is the enemy of ten thousand people, unstoppable, Dong Zhuo saw that he could not win against Ding Yuan, so he promised Lu Bu heavy benefits, and even gave Lu Bu a red rabbit horse. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu immediately killed Ding Yuan, and since then he has taken refuge in Dong Zhuo and become Dong Zhuo's confidant. ”
"This man is strong in martial arts, but he has no backbone. I said.
"Disloyal and unrighteous people, although their martial arts are strong, they will not be able to achieve great things after all. Cao Cao said disdainfully.
As he was talking, he had already arrived in Dong Zhuo's mansion, Cao Cao was a frequent visitor to Dong Mansion, and everyone knew him, and he didn't know him, so he went directly into the inner room. Walking at the door, Dong Zhuozheng and Lu Bu talked about the fact that Yiwu was set on fire by thieves and the girls fled, and when he saw Cao Cao coming in, he said, "Meng De, why did you come now?"
It turned out that Dong Zhuo had made an appointment with Cao Cao to talk about things today. Cao Cao's family background is illustrious, and he is clever and clever, so he naturally pleases Dong Zhuo and has always been more important.
"Prime Minister, my horse is weak, so I came late, and I ask the Prime Minister for forgiveness. Cao Cao hugged his fists.
"How can a tiger general not have good horses?" Dong Zhuo said to Lu Bu: "I just have a batch of good horses from Xiliang, you work hard, go and choose two for Meng De and this young man." ”
Lu Bu took the order and went.
Dong Zhuo looked at me and said, "This is Duan Shaoxia who fought Zhang Rang, right?"
"In the lower section of the big tiger, I have seen the prime minister. "I also followed Cao Cao's etiquette and hugged my fists to say hello to Dong Zhuo.
"Yes, what a hero. Dong Zhuo said, "Do you want to come to the court to make a name for yourself?"
"Thank you Prime Minister for cultivating me! I followed Captain Cao to contribute to the imperial court, and it was the same. "That's Cao Cao's official position is a school captain, so I said.
"Okay, young people are not arrogant or impatient, and the future is terrifying!" Dong Zhuo laughed.
After chatting for a while, Dong Zhuo was too fat, panting after sitting for a long time, so while talking, he collapsed on the bed and lay down. After a while, I felt uncomfortable again and slept face in.
Cao Cao glanced at me, and when I looked at the door of the house, he was about to stab Dong Zhuo to death with a knife. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was suspicious by nature, and he was afraid that others would stab him while he was asleep, but a bronze mirror was installed on the wall in the bed, and when he saw the dazzling gem of Cao Cao's seven-star treasure knife, he immediately woke up and asked, "Meng De, what are you going to do?"
At this time, I saw that Lu Bu had already entered the inner courtyard, and I was in a hurry, Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhuo saw through it, but he was silent, I don't know his temperament, he must be thinking about whether to cut this knife or not. I stepped forward and said, "Tell the prime minister, Lord Cao has a family heirloom knife, which I specially brought today and dedicated it to the prime minister for self-defense." ”
It may be that I am an honest person with an honest appearance, but I look wooden, this kind of quick lie does not seem like I can make up, Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then he was convinced, and said with a smile: "Why should Meng De be polite! Since this is the case, I will accept it." ”
When Cao Cao saw me say this, he offered his sword. Dong Zhuo took it in his hand and looked at it, and it was really jeweled and extremely sharp. praised repeatedly: "It's really a good knife!"
At this time, Lu Bu came in and said, "Prime Minister, the horses have been selected for Brother Meng De and this Brother Duan, please try your strength." ”
Cao Cao thanked Dong Zhuo again and left the Dong Mansion with me. Although I don't understand horses, the horse's muscles are tense, and the horse's eyes are shining, and there is no doubt that the spirit is a good horse.
The two of us got on the horse, and Cao Cao said: "Brother Duan, today is really thanks to your quick wisdom, otherwise the two of us would not be in danger." ”
I smiled shyly and said, "How can I have such an eagerness, it was all taught to me by Xu Qianxue." ”
Cao Cao said: "I see, Miss Xu is really smart. ”
"Now, what are we going to do?"
"Let's go home first, and then think about it. ”
"Good!"
The two of us had just returned to Cao's mansion together, and Cao Cao took some things casually, but he only heard the report from the chief manager of Chu: "Son, Dong Zhuo sent someone to summon again, how should I deal with it?"
Cao Cao said: "Dong thief is really suspicious! Chief Manager Chu, you reply to the envoy and say that I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately." ”
He said to me again: "I can't stay in the capital, I will return to the township, issue an edict, and summon the princes of the world to raise troops to punish Dong Zhuo." ”
"That's right, Dong Zhuo Pifu is punished by everyone!" I said.
"Without further ado, let's go!" Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao and I only brought a few family members, and Chief Manager Chu wore a white robe and followed closely by Cao Cao's side. Cao Cao's house is the closest to the east gate, and I remember Xu Qianxue told me that once the matter fails, we will meet at the east gate, and we will rush to the east gate.
Before anyone arrived, I heard the sound of fighting, I hurriedly patted my horse and hurried over, but saw Xiao Hanyi and Xu Qianxue like immortals, fighting with the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
When Xu Qianxue saw us coming, she shouted, "Brother Duan, they want to close the city gate, stop them quickly!"
Without saying a word, I grabbed the horse's belly between my legs, took off from the horse's back, and killed an officer and soldier with a knife, and killed the officers and soldiers defending the city. In an instant, the officers and soldiers were killed.
Seeing that he was about to break out of the city, he saw a horse like an arrow from the string, and suddenly came to him. That person was majestic, holding Fang Tian's painting halberd, but who was not Lu Bu?
"Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses, really worthy of the name!" But it was the white-robed chief Chu Lidao.
Lu Budao: "Cao Mengde, the prime minister treats you well, but why do you want to rebel?"
"Phew! He is not my king, and I am not his minister, how can he rebel? Dong Zhuo killed the king, and killed the Empress Dowager He, the crime is heinous, and everyone will be punished!" Cao Cao saw Lu Bu coming, and also knew that today's things were difficult to be good, so he blurted out and scolded at the moment.
"Good. If you can get by with my Fang Tian Painting Halberd today, I will respect you as a hero. Lu Bu said lightly.
I shouted, and the prancing horse slashed with his sword. I knew that he was very good at martial arts, so as soon as he came up, he used ten percent of his strength, and a knife "Wind Breaking Remnant Cloud" rolled up a gust of wind and swept towards Lu Bu. Lu Bu slammed the Fang Tian painting halberd on the ground, and the ground was cracked for hundreds of meters, but I slashed it on his Fang Tian painting halberd.
I picked up the hob technique, and before I could run out of tricks, I turned my sweep into a stab and slammed it into his chest. Lu Bu picked up the halberd, and a halberd blocked my knife, and my mouth shook violently, and the dragon slaying knife almost came out of my hand.
"Hmph, just entered the King Kong Realm, and you dare to come to fight me!" Lu Bu snorted coldly.
He didn't fight back even after blocking a few moves, it turned out that he was just looking at my realm, and when I heard him say this, I expected to fight back. Sure enough, he didn't see how to behave, a halberd was immediately chopped down, I raised a long knife to stand his halberd, but I only heard the wailing of the Xiliang horse under the seat, but I couldn't bear his huge strength, and was shocked to kneel. I rolled on the spot, dodging his halberd, and slashed at his red rabbit horse's hooves. The red rabbit horse neighed and jumped three feet high, but it dodged one of my swords.
Lu Bu didn't pursue, slowly dismounted, stood at the gate of the city, and said: "Although your sword skills are excellent, you are not my opponent, and it is still too late to go back to see the prime minister now." ”
"Dream!" I scolded angrily and slashed at Lu Bu again.
"I can't help myself!"
Lu Bu shook his halberd, shook out a few spear flowers, the spear flowers were big and small, and I couldn't see it really, stabbed at my face, I couldn't see his tricks clearly, so I had to swing the knife and slash the long sword, and then retreated. Lu Bu jumped up, and a halberd shot down at the place where I landed, this move was fierce, it happened that my old strength was exhausted, and the new strength was not born, so I had to take ten steps back. But I saw that a large pit was cut out by a halberd when I landed.
The halberd was still in full swing, and I saw that the ground was crooked and had a long streak, which stretched to my feet. "Be careful!" shouted the chief manager. Before the words fell, he had already drawn out a spear, jumped up suddenly, and slashed towards the middle of the long lines, only to hear a loud roar, the long lines broke, and the head manager of Chu also jumped a few feet away, standing firmly on the ground. I never expected that he would be such a high master!
At that moment, I stepped on a strange step, sank into the dantian, and looked at Lu Bu. In today's battle, either Lu Bu dies or I live.
