The knights' cloaks rustled in the breeze, and thousands of pairs of eyes looked at Cao Qiudao, who held the sword across his neck.
Next to him were eight people ranging in age from their twenties to forties. These were all elite children of the Cao family. Their deaths caused a serious situation of insecurity in the Cao family. In the past thirty years, the Cao family had few A chance to turn around.
After taking a look at the ornately decorated sword hilt, Cao Qiudao asked: "Ji Jie, before I die, can I ask you a question?"
"Don't say one, I will answer you even if you have ten!" Ji Jie said with a domineering expression: "Ask you, I will satisfy you!"
"Why do I always fail in my actions?" Cao Qiudao asked, "Did you plant spies around me?"
Ji Jie shook his head and said: "The Cao family's organizational structure is extremely strict. I once thought about sending people to break in, but unfortunately I failed! As for why you were defeated by me again and again, it's because I carefully studied your Personality, I dare say that you may not understand you as well as I do. Plus, I think about things from your position. I have to say that I have thought of all the things you think of!"
"So that's it!" Cao Qiudao nodded sincerely and said: "You are the strongest opponent I have ever encountered in my life. Although I have always been unconvinced, the facts have proved that I lost! Okay, my question is It’s over, goodbye!”
After speaking, Cao Qiudao exerted his strength, and the sharp long sword slashed across his throat. Blood spurted out. He lost his former look, and his body slowly softened to the ground.
Sima Xueran said from the side: "No way, a generation of sword masters died like this?"
"What should we do?" Ji Jie waved his hand and said to several soldiers who came over: "Bury the bodies of these people on the spot. The feng shui here is pretty good, so it will be easier for him!"
"Yes!" A dozen strong soldiers picked up shovels and quickly dug a hole, threw the body in and covered it with soil.
Sima Xueran has always had an illusion. In her opinion, Cao Qiudao should not die so easily. If Du Ze said, why would he dominate the world for nearly twenty years!
"Don't look at it, let's go! The weather is going to change, and it will probably rain during lunch. I don't want to get soaked and return to the camp." Ji Jie waved his hand in front of the stunned Sima Xueran.
"oh!"
…
Lu Buwei sent people to the Qin army's camp almost every day. He had nothing else to do. He would first scold Yanping and then convey the king's order.
The king's order is actually Lu Buwei's order.
Yanping lost his temper at all, but Lu Buwei's trick was quite effective. At least it stopped him from thinking of a third attack in order to turn defeat into victory. It was later verified that Ji Jie's men once again ambush him in his path. On the road, as long as he dares to come out, he will never be able to go back.
Speaking of why Ji Jie was open to the public at that time, the reason was very simple. Ji Jie liked Yan Ping, an opponent who only knew how to talk on paper. Another person might not be so "fun".
After shamelessly listening to the envoy's scolding, Yanping asked with a smile: "Excuse me, sir, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
The messenger raised his head and pointed his nostrils at him and said: "The reinforcements are ready, but the position of the general has not been determined yet, so the army has not set off yet!"
Yanping quickly bowed his arms to the ground and said, "Please, Sir, please say a few kind words in front of Prime Minister Lu after you go back. The general will definitely lead his army to defeat Ji Jie and avenge his shame!"
The messenger snorted softly, with a look of contempt on Yanping.
"Help more, help more!" Yanping ducked down and stuffed a bag of gold into the messenger's hand.
The man picked up the weight and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Easy to say, easy to say! When I get back, I will definitely tell General Yan that he has a strong army and a high fighting spirit. He is just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive to avenge his shame. Mr. Xiangguo listened. Will be happy!"
Outside the tent, Meng Ao heard this clearly. He wasn't eavesdropping, but he happened to catch up.
Actually giving a gift!
Meng Ao was angry at that time. What he hated the most was those things in the officialdom. As a soldier, he should take the right path and use real victory to explain everything, rather than such dirty methods!
Originally wanting to rush in, Meng Ao thought about it and chose to turn around and leave. He returned to his tent and spread out a piece of white paper. He wrote down what had just happened word for word, and then ordered someone to rush it to Lu Buwei. .
…
Sure enough, as soon as Ji Jie and his party entered the camp, it started pouring rain.
Zhao Ling glanced outside and said to Ji Jian beside him: "This rain is bad. I don't know when the rain will stop. Our next battle with the Qin army will be ruined!"
Ji Jian shrugged and said: "It's good to take a rest, but it won't rain and the Qin people are hiding in the border town. What can you do? Your Majesty is back, let's go out to greet him. It seems that Cao Qidao has been dealt with." Got it!"
"Cao Qiudao?" Zhao Ling didn't know why.
"You'll know in a moment!" Ji Jian smiled mysteriously. Apart from Ji Jie, he was the only one who knew about this matter, because all the crossbowmen ambush in Luofeng Valley were sent out by him. As the person in charge, he Of course we know what Ji Jie's purpose was for asking him to send troops.
Ji Jie happily announced that he had just solved a big trouble and ordered the Huotou Army to prepare good food and rice. He was going to entertain a group of generals who were right and wrong.
The scene turned to Luofeng Valley again, where Cao Qiudao and eight other people were buried.
The mud mixed with the heavy rain and empty soil flowed everywhere, and the originally high grave mound was quickly washed away and became as flat as other places.
Suddenly, the ground moved somewhere.
Then, it moved again.
"call……"
A gust of wind blew by, a hole opened in the soil, and a hand covered in mud stretched out from the inside.
If anyone here sees this at this moment, he will definitely be beaten to death. This is simply like an evil spirit coming out of his cage!
The owner of that hand slowly emerged from the soil, big raindrops hit his face, and the mud was peeled off bit by bit, revealing a face that was extremely familiar to Ji Jie.
That's right, it was Cao Qiudao. There was still a deep blood mark on his neck, and his face was frighteningly white, like an evil ghost who had just crawled out of hell.
Slowly climbing out of the pit, Cao Qiudao moved very slowly, as if all his strength was exhausted before he could even take a step out.
Looking up at the sky, he opened his mouth and wanted to shout out, but failed because of air leakage from his neck. He tried several times before shouting vaguely: "Sister Zhi (Ji Jie)... wait a minute." ...with...the next red (time)...I will...make...you...s (die) very greedy (miserably)..."
As for why he didn't die, it was because in his early years, he forced an opponent to commit suicide in front of him. As a result, the guy stood up again after wiping his neck. It happened that he didn't go far and rushed back immediately. Only then did he know that it was that person. Unique skills.
In the end, Cao Qiudao spared his life. In exchange, he shared his unique skills.
