Cao Cao helped Mrs. Cai jump out of the rattan basket, and his left hand held Mrs. Cai's right hand tightly.
Although Mrs. Cai's voice was soft, it still contained a hint of arrogance.
"King Wei, the next time we meet, we should be at the gate of Xiangyang City in Jingzhou!"
"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed happily: "Whether it is at the gate of Xiangyang City is actually not important at all. What is important is that the next time I hold my wife's hand, it should be in broad daylight, in front of millions of soldiers and horses.
Under the witness of thousands of Jingxiang people, I want you to be the most noble woman in Jingxiang!"
call…
Take a long breath.
Mrs. Cai has deeply felt in her heart the domineering heart of King Wei who is ready to show up under his unremarkable appearance!
That domineering spirit!
That mighty and majestic heart that wanted to hold her tightly and suppress her to death!
These all make Mrs. Cai fascinated!
At this moment, Cao Cao winked at Liu Ye and Zhuge Jun, and they quickly returned to the rattan basket.
With tears on Mrs. Cai's face, looking at the flames rising again from the hot air balloon, she couldn't help but feel a touch of loneliness and intolerance. She wished she could leave with Cao Cao tonight.
Leave this place of wrong forever!
But...she can't, she has to do more, she wants to dedicate the nine counties of Jingzhou to Cao Cao. Only in this way...as the Princess of Wei, can her status be prominent!
Her son's status is outstanding!
Only then can her family remain standing forever!
Under the moonlight, the hot air balloon rises slowly, descending from the sky like a fairy, and then flies away from the ground.
At this moment, Yang Xiu walked up to Mrs. Cai underground.
"lady…"
Mrs. Cai stretched out her hand to signal him not to speak. She wanted to see the hot air balloon a few more times and feel a little more of King Wei's domineering and gentleness.
She had never experienced this feeling in more than thirty years. It was mysterious, yet full of longing.
call…
Finally, when the hot air balloon flew up into the clouds, Mrs. Cai's mind returned from the clouds. She bit her lips and murmured to Yang Xiu.
"King Wei...what kind of person is King Wei?"
"Madam, I'm afraid I can't answer this." Yang Xiu said truthfully: "However, since my mentor can choose to be loyal, he must be an extremely great person. Perhaps in the future, after madam becomes the Princess of Wei, this question will be able to find the answer."
Hmm…
Mrs. Cai nodded gently, and she did not forget to caress the child in her belly with her hand. "The King of Wei said that the child should be named Cao Xiang... If it is a boy, he will be named 'Polu', and if he is a daughter, he will call her Xiang'er, Xiangyang
'Xiang'!"
hiss…
Yang Xiu was slightly startled.
Sure enough... I can’t deceive my mentor!
When it came to dealing with women, King Cao Cao of Wei was simply terrifying, and he was infinitely better than Yang Xiu!
In just a short time in heaven, this difficult lady was subdued!
"lady…"
Yang Xiu also wanted to tell you something else.
However, Madam Cai has already spoken, "Only by gaining the upper hand can you seek the throne. In the tenth day, I will make certain people who are causing trouble completely leave Jingzhou and leave this world."
Whoosh…
Yang Xiu trembled all over.
Suddenly, he discovered...Mrs. Cai is a woman who becomes weak when she is strong, and a woman who becomes strong when she is weak!
This kind of femme fatale must either be conquered or...played by her!
call…
Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Who would have thought that the huge Jingzhou was really in the hands of a woman, or maybe it was due to the master's clever tricks?
Or should I say that this woman’s heart is inherently
It’s dark!
…
…
Jingzhou, Xinye City.
Under the dim moonlight, a few torches illuminated a stable as if it were daytime.
"Liu Shijun really wants to give me a horse?"
A man with an ugly face squinted his eyes and asked Liu Bei.
He is Pang Tong, a rising star of the "Pang" clan in Jingzhou. His uncle "Pang Degong" is a famous hermit in Jingxiang. He is the title of "Wolong" and "Fengchu", and was given by Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui and Pang Degong.
of.
Otherwise...the weight is far different.
And Pang Tong is the "Feng Chu" who is as famous as "Wolong"!
Speaking of which, Liu Bei followed Zhuge Liang's strategy and abandoned the top wealthy families in Jingzhou, the "Cai Family" and the "Kui Family", and instead attracted the four families of "Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi" who have been suppressed by the two wealthy families in recent years...
Ma Liang, Ma Di, and Zhuge Liang of the Ma family have been conquered by Liu Bei!
Xiang Lang of the Xiang family was also worshiped as an infantry captain by Zhuge Liang.
Xi Zhen, the patriarch of the Xi family, has been flirting with Liu Bei for a long time, and now...the Pang family is the only one left.
Pang Degong is a true hermit. Neither he nor his son Pang Shanmin will leave the mountain. So... to win over the Pang family, the only thing left is to win over Pang Tong, the rising star of the Pang family!
You know, Pang, Ma, Xiang, Xi, these four families... each of them contains great energy!
Of course, Pang Tong is really ugly...
Liu Bei almost vomited when he saw him for the first time. Thanks to Zhuge Liang's repeated emphasis that he must win over these four major families, Liu Bei forced himself to look appreciative.
"I, Liu Bei, have always been trustworthy. Since I said I would give Pang Shiyuan a horse, then no matter which horse Pang Shiyuan chooses, I will give it to him immediately without any second thoughts!"
Liu Bei talks freely...
While talking, Liu Bei did not forget to take the basket from the groom's hand and pour beans into the manger. When he stood in front of an inconspicuous white horse, Liu Bei poured out more beans.
Pang Tong keenly noticed these differences. "Then I want this white horse!"
He pointed at the white horse in front of Liu Bei...
Liu Bei was startled.
As for the reason, this horse is his mount, named Lu!
"This horse has tear troughs under its eyes and white spots on its forehead. I think it is the famous 'De Lu' horse. Is Liu Shijun willing to part with it?" Pang Tong asked Liu Bei with his eyes narrowed.
this…
Liu Bei paused.
Pang Tong continued. "It is rumored that this horse was originally owned by Zhang Wu, a rebel general under Liu Jingsheng. Liu Shijun was ordered to attack Zhang Wu. He admired the horse very much when he saw it for the first time. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw it, they seized it.
I will give this horse to Ambassador Liu as a gift!"
"On the day of the victory, Liu Shijun wanted to return the horse to Liu Jingsheng. Unexpectedly, Kuai Yue thought that the horse was a hindrance to the owner and said that Zhang Wu died riding the horse. Liu Jingsheng was so frightened that he quickly returned the horse to Liu Jingsheng.
Envoy!"
At this point, Pang Tong paused.
As if...he had heard some legends about Lu's horse. "Later, Cai Mao wanted to plot to kill Liu Shijun. The Lu's horse that Liu Shijun was riding panicked and didn't choose the road. As a result, he arrived at Tanxi, and there were pursuers behind him.
As soon as he could escape, the horse suddenly rose up from the water, jumped three feet and flew to the other side! From then on, Liu Shijun loved this Lu horse very much and always took care of it himself! Is this possible?
?”
Pang Tongguo told a lot of folk legends about the "Delu" horse.
Liu Bei shook his head. "What Shi Yuan said came from the public, so it is 30% true and 70% false!"
"Seven points off?" Pang Tong asked back.
Liu Bei explained: "This 'Lu' horse was never owned by Zhang Wu. He was a good horse given to me by Cao Cao when I was trapped in Xudu City. I chose this horse from the horse pen. I thought...
This horse doesn't look powerful, so this can dispel Cao Cao's suspicions, but I never thought that this horse is indeed a powerful horse!"
"In the past, during the Battle of Guandu between Cao and Yuan, I led a surprise attack of 30,000 people on Xudu. Unexpectedly, I fell into a trap and was trapped in the fire. It was this Lu's horse that jumped up and rescued me.
As for the rumors in the public that General Cai harmed me, Ma Yuetanxi is completely false."
oh…
Hearing this, Pang Tong nodded with interest.
"I see. However, since this 'Delu' horse saved Liu Shijun's life, I am even more interested. Liu Shijun? Can you part with me?"
Pang Tong acted extremely arrogant...
He is a arrogant person, and he also has this capital, not to mention... Pang Tong knew that Liu Bei urgently needed help from his family.
He even wanted to mention the family to test Liu Bei!
After all, his reputation in Jingxiang has plummeted recently because of newspapers!
this…
Hearing that Pang Tong asked for the horse, Liu Bei showed a little sadness on his face.
It was as if he was a little reluctant to give up.
But... just for a moment, he showed extreme generosity and generosity.
"Since Shi Yuan has chosen this horse, then... I will give this horse to Shi Yuan. What's the harm?"
While talking, Liu Bei went to lead the horse...
However, while holding the horse, he said: "The two points Shi Yuan mentioned just now are false, but one thing is true?"
"Which point?"
"Kuai Yue once saw this horse and mentioned that this horse was a hindrance to the owner. Shi Yuan's master, Mr. Shui Jing, also mentioned that this horse had tear troughs under its eyes and white spots on its forehead. It was a horse that was an obstacle to the owner. However, it
He once saved my life, but he doesn’t care about me if he comes here! But Shiyuan’s words..."
"Hahaha..." Pang Tong laughed out loud after hearing Liu Bei's words. "It's just a foal, how can it hinder me?"
As he spoke, Pang Tong immediately got on his horse.
When he got on the horse, "Haha..." Pang Tongyou looked up to the sky and laughed. He originally just wanted to test Liu Bei, but this was a hindrance to his master, so Pang Tong was extremely interested.
He raised his head and roared. "Come on? Come on? I, Pang Tong, want to see how you can hinder me? Hahaha... Lu, come on! You can interfere with me and see!"
His laughter is extremely bold!
But...along with this laughter, suddenly, his pupils shrank violently, and then he saw a black spot in the sky. Was that a bird? Or...a crow?
But why did the "crow" fall straight down?
...The most important thing is, why is the "crow" glowing with a cold light?
Visible to the naked eye, the "crow" fell very fast. Before Pang Tong could understand it, he suddenly saw... that was not a crow, that was a sword, a sword with a shining light!
The sound of whistling wind came one after another, and this sword seemed to carry earth-shattering power!
You know, at a height of a thousand meters, not only a sword, but also a stone... the power is astonishing.
Pang Tong's expression froze, and his pupils shrank...
He couldn't bear to laugh anymore, he was a little dazed.
Subconsciously, he wanted to hide. He pulled the reins with both hands, but Luma seemed to have predicted something and remained motionless.
When Pang Tong tried to vault, it was already too late. He watched helplessly as the sword penetrated his shoulder...and then penetrated through the entire right arm!
"Click..."
"ah…"
First there was a muffled sound, then Pang Tong's heart-rending wails and roars!
No one reacted, including Liu Bei...
But Pang Tong's violently opening eyes, his heart-rending wail, and the spurting blood were so real.
Right arm…
The entire right arm was penetrated by a sword that fell from the sky inexplicably!
The whole scene is...super...super fantasy! Super tragic!
The blood flowed more and more, like a rain canopy, and hot blood sprayed out from the shoulders.
Finally...Liu Bei was the first to react.
"Sword, where...where did the sword come from?"
In fact, his subconscious reaction was that there was an assassin, but obviously... what he saw with his own eyes was the divine sword from heaven, and the sword penetrated Pang Tong's arm. Could it be...
Suddenly, Liu Bei had a bold guess in his mind.
Lord Lu Zhan?
There are tear troughs under the eyes and white spots on the forehead...Did "De Lu" hurt Pang Tong?
"Doctor, doctor... call the doctor quickly!"
"Shiyuan, Shiyuan..."
Liu Bei was already a little incoherent.
Some of the quick-responsive grooms on the left and right have already gone to call the doctor, but most of them are stunned in place. The divine sword from heaven... will it cut off Pang Tong's arm with one sword?
Is it so...so weird?
"Heaven...the divine sword descended from heaven?"
"Master Lu Fang? It's... it's true!"
A group of grooms whispered among themselves, their pupils widened as they couldn't believe the scene in front of them!
…
…
In the sky, in the rattan basket of the hot air balloon, Cao Cao was lying on the edge of the rattan basket, his eyes narrowed... but his hand stretched out of the frame.
Missed...
Accidentally, the Yitian Sword was thrown down.
You know, this is Cao Cao's favorite sword. After he was appointed Dunqiu Ling, Qiao Xuan, the "Qiao Da Gongzi", took off the Qingxuan Sword from his waist and gave it to him.
He specially smelted two swords, one is Yitian and the other is Qingzhi. These swords have special feelings for him.
But... I made a mistake and the Yitian Sword was thrown down, but it still escaped from its shell. Where can I find it in this ten thousand feet high in the sky?
"well…"
Cao Cao took back the scabbard of his sword and shook his head. The joy that he felt because he saw Mrs. Cai and that the matter in Jingzhou was settled disappeared in time.
He shook his head helplessly. "When Mr. Qiao gave me the Qingxuan Sword in the past, he specially told me two things. One is that when passing his tomb, I must pay homage, otherwise I will get a stomachache if I can't walk more than three steps!
The second thing is to keep the Qingxuan Sword! Alas... I didn't expect that after the Qingxuan Sword was split into two, the Yitian Sword was eventually lost."
Cao Cao sighed...
Liu Ye didn't know how to answer the question. After all, the air flow in the air was strong, and it was normal for something to fall if he wasn't careful.
It's a pity... What fell this time was the Yitian Sword, which was King Wei's most beloved sword. Even though the forge could forge a sharper "sword of fine steel", King Wei never replaced it. It was a pity.
Xu Chu opened his mouth to persuade: "King Wei, don't panic. When we go south to capture Jingzhou, we will have to dig three feet into the ground to find the Yitian Sword."
"I hope so!" Cao Cao sighed helplessly as he looked at the dark bottom.
"Uncle Liu Huang? Where are we here?"
Xu Chu curiously added a question.
Naturally, he is not looking for a sword to carve a boat, but he can also narrow down the scope of the search by asking for the location and how many...
"We are now over Xinye City!"
Liu Ye pointed under the rattan basket. "Look... there are still some lights in Xinye City. It's probably because some family hasn't fallen asleep yet!"
"How long until we reach Wancheng?" Cao Cao changed the subject and no longer struggled with Yitian Sword.
"King Wei wants to hurry up?" Liu Ye asked back.
"The sooner the better!"
After getting this answer, Liu Ye didn't know what method he used. The valve opened wider, the heat increased more violently, and the speed of the hot air balloon suddenly became much faster.
Feel the strong wind around you.
Cao Cao sighed: "Uncle Liu Huang, what do you think Liu Bei is doing now?"
"Probably still in dreamland! With his two sworn brothers who sit at the same table and sleep in the same bed." Liu Ye replied...
Cao Cao nodded, "I hope so!"
In his opinion, at least...in this case, Mrs. Gan won't have to face that disgusting cheek!
only…
Cao Cao thinks too much, and Liu Bei is destined to have no sleep tonight!
