Chapter 370: The Talent War between Cao Cao and Liu Ming
I am writing a new book called "Going to Liangshan" which tells the story of a great deception in the late Northern Song Dynasty. I would like to ask all book friends to comment. Welcome to click on the through train on the page of this book to visit.

It was too late, but it was soon. Ouyang Lan was the first winner of a super-grade warrior since Wang Yue established the championship. His efforts were not in vain, and his reaction was quick. I saw the colorful silk wrapped around Ouyang Lan's body suddenly flying.
Standing up, like an epiphyllum blooming under the moonlight, it blocked the crossbow arrows in the sky.
At the same time, the sun ring among the sun and moon rings in Ouyang Lan's hand also flew towards Yang Yan's neck like a poisonous snake spitting a message. The rapidly rotating flywheel, even if it touched a little, would immediately make Yang Yan suffer.
How could anyone's head fly off?
However, Liu Ming, who secretly ran out of the cave to watch, saw this scene and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, don't hurt her."
Hearing Liu Ming's shouting, Ouyang Lan couldn't help but flick her wrist, and the sun ring that flew out immediately tilted upwards. It only took away a strand of Yang Yan's hair and flew back to Ouyang Lan like lightning.
However, Yang Yan's kung fu was obviously much worse than Ouyang Lan's, and she could not achieve the level of freedom of movement. But before Liu Ming shouted, Yang Yan did not consider Ouyang Lan's moves at all, nor did she think about it.
How about his own life? Instead, he ducked and drew out a chain crossbow specially designed for cavalry. The three crossbows hit Ouyang Lan in unison. When Yang Yan heard Liu Ming shouting, everything was over. The crossbow arrows were already gone.
Came out.
Yang Yan was shocked: It's bad, Uncle Taiwei shouted to stop. But she couldn't stop. The sister opposite would definitely die this time, how could she explain this to Uncle Taiwei?
This is not because Yang Yan is arrogant, but because Yang Yan's crossbow box covers it, and coupled with the penetrating strike of the serial hand crossbow specially designed for cavalry, it is definitely a sure kill.
Long before Yang Yan set off, Yang Yan had already formulated a plan.
Yang Yan deeply knows that although the Xia Nu can fire a large number at one time and has a large strike range, the shortcomings of the Xia Nu are also very obvious. That is, the power is relatively small and the rate of fire is relatively slow. Even at close range.
, if the opponent is a real master, it will not achieve much effect. Just like Wen Chou before, he also saved his life when faced with two crossbows at close range.
However, now Yang Yan carried out a combination attack, first using the range attack of the box crossbow to limit Ouyang Lan's movement range, and then using the cavalry's special crossbow to carry out a fixed-point attack on Ouyang Lan. It can be said to be absolutely foolproof. You know, the cavalry's
A special crossbow that penetrates rocks with gold, is ferocious in power, and has an unparalleled rate of fire. As long as the opponent's dodge range is limited, it can definitely shoot through the opponent.
However, Yang Yan's worries were in vain. Although her killing method was powerful, Ouyang Lan was no ordinary person. As soon as the three crossbow arrows were shot, Ouyang Lan felt that she was different, although Ouyang Lan also felt that she was different.
Ouyang Lan did not have the ability to use the protective colored silk to block the shots of this cavalry-specific crossbow. However, Ouyang Lan had colored silk to block some of the crossbow shots, and Ouyang Lan had enough space to dodge these three powerful crossbow arrows.
However, at the moment when Ouyang Lan was dodging, Ouyang Lan saw a cold light flash out of the corner of her eye, and something from nowhere flew straight towards her lower abdomen. The speed was much faster than those three powerful crossbow arrows.
Ouyang Lan was shocked and quickly dialed the object with the moon ring in her hand. However, the object was a little above Ouyang Lan's moon ring. It brushed and refracted into the distance. But it turned out that the object was exactly
Lying on Yang Yan's shoulder was the alien beast Xiaobai. The cold light that flashed was Xiaobai's sharp teeth.
Although Xiao Bai's coordinated blow did not bite Ouyang Lan, it affected Ouyang Lan's movement. In the flash of lightning, the three powerful crossbow arrows had already arrived in front of Ouyang Lan. Ouyang Lan twisted
Dodged a crossbow aimed at the throat
Arrow, and waving the moon ring at the same time, forcefully deflected a crossbow arrow that was shot into the lower abdomen. However, the power of this crossbow arrow was too great. With Ouyang Lan's skill, the arm was numb from the shock. This third arrow
The crossbow arrow cannot be blocked no matter what.
Fortunately, when Ouyang Lan was catching the second crossbow arrow, her figure was also shaken a little. This crossbow arrow did not hit the right position. It just pierced a big hole in Ouyang Lan's leg and nailed it to the mountain wall.
above.
Ouyang Lan ignored the pain and bleeding, fearing that Yang Yan would come up with another powerful weapon, so she hurriedly walked to Yang Yan and knocked Yang Yan down with one finger. Then she tore off a piece of clothing from the hem of her clothes and tied herself up.
The wound was touched, and at the same time, a few fingers were pressed near the wound to stop the bleeding.
At this time, Liu Ming also ran over. He felt guilty when he saw that Ouyang Lan was so badly injured because of listening to his words. At the same time, he was also ashamed that Ouyang Lan did not kill Yang Yan even though he was so hurt.
Feel relieved.
However, before Liu Ming could express his feelings, a burst of laughter came from a distance.
"Hahaha. I didn't expect Mr. Taiwei to be here. Second brother is really clueless. We followed this little girl, and we followed the right one."
While talking, four figures walked out of the dense forest.
As soon as Ouyang Lan looked at the posture of the four people walking in the aisle, Ouyang Lan knew that something bad was going to happen this time. The skills of these four people were definitely higher than that of the girl just now, not lower. They were the same as the previous Mountain-Breaking Sword Chang Kun.
Comparatively, that's not even close.
Of course, if there were only four martial arts masters, Ouyang Lan wouldn't care. With Ouyang Lan's speed, he didn't care at all if he was surrounded by several masters who were slower than him. But the problem is, Ouyang Lan can be shot in the leg now
A big hole. And the most important thing is that the leg where Ouyang Lan was shot now not only does not feel severe pain, but also feels numb. Gradually, Ouyang Lan can no longer control her leg.
.
Ouyang Lan secretly complained: Where did the little girl come from? This is too sinister. Not to mention the desperate use of hidden weapons, the hidden weapons were even coated with poison.
In fact, Ouyang Lan mistakenly blamed Yang Yan. This was not because Yang Yan was too sinister. It was because Liu Ming's standard crossbow arrows were usually coated with cheap anesthetic. This was to prevent the enemy from being shot dead, but also to make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Lan also became an innocent victim.
However, Ouyang Lan could only hold on at this time. Ouyang Lan's secret luck suppressed the spread of the medicine. But she said nonchalantly: "Four heroes showed up here to rescue Lord Taiwei. If so.
, Four heroes, please come back. The Taiwei is very close to me, I can raise my hand to take the Taiwei's life. The four heroes should not act rashly and hurt the Taiwei's life."
"Hahaha. Girl, I misunderstood. We are on the same journey. If you want to take the life of the Taiwei, feel free to do so. As long as you give the head of the Taiwei to our brothers afterwards, we will be grateful.
Endless. Of course,
If the girl finds it troublesome, our brothers can also do it for us. We brothers only want the head of the Taiwei, and we will take none of the rest. I wonder what the girl wants?" One of the guys, holding a feather fan in hand and wearing a scholar's uniform, shook his head and said.
.
Ouyang Lan complained even more. These four people were not here to save Liu Ming, but to take Liu Ming's life. Ouyang Lan couldn't help turning her head and glared at Liu Ming. However, Ouyang Lan still said to the four people: "I don't know.
What do you call a hero?
Huh? I am Ouyang Lan, the descendant of the Sun and Moon Immortal Grandma of the Tianshan lineage. This Lord Taiwei and I are still of use for the time being. I don’t know if the four heroes can sell me a favor. Miss today. I, Tianshan
If you follow the same lineage, you will be rewarded."
The guy in the scholar's uniform was obviously hesitant. But the loud voice from before said: "Second brother, why are you hesitating? When have we, the four heroes of Heluo, ever given face to others? Which little girl is injured by an arrow now?
She has difficulty moving, and if she is nosy, we will spare her life and only take Liu Ming's life. If she causes trouble, we will kill her together. In this way, it will not be a waste."
The second brother in the scholar's uniform ignored him and turned his attention to the fifty-year-old man on his left.
The old man nodded slightly and said: "The third brother is right. We must take the life of Mr. Taiwei, and the interrogation in Youzhou is too strict. We absolutely cannot stay here for a long time. Although the Tianshan Mountains are powerful,
, but as long as we do it cleanly and efficiently, we may not be able to find us. Moreover, as long as we make a great contribution, Prime Minister Cao will support us in the future. We don’t need to be afraid of the Tianshan Mountains."
The second brother in scholar's uniform understood what he heard and said to Ouyang Lan, "Girl, I'm sorry. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out today either."
Ouyang Lan felt fierce in her heart. She held the sun and moon rings tightly and said, "Then come on. Let's see how many of you can escape from me."
Although Ouyang Lan said something fierce, Liu Ming knew what would be painted on his standard weapons. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been lying down long ago. If Ouyang Lan can hold on until now and not fall down, it is definitely
It was a feat of Kung Fu. However, there was absolutely no way that Ouyang Lan would be in trouble.
Therefore, Liu Ming jumped out and said: "Four heroes, you and I have no grudges in the past and no grudges in recent times. And I ask myself, since I took charge of Youzhou, I can be considered worthy of the people of Youzhou. Therefore,
It is impossible for the four heroes to ask for their lives for the people. In this way, the four heroes
These heroes can only come to take my life because they are entrusted by others or instigated by traitors. If so, it is inconsistent with the reputation of the four heroes and the four heroes of Heluo. It is not as good as the four heroes who took refuge in me.
How is the state? I keep the four heroic officials and their generous salaries, and they will enjoy endless glory and wealth."
At this time, Liu Ming had no other thoughts. He just wanted to persuade these four people not to take action and join his subordinates. If that didn't work, he could delay for a while and wait for Ouyang Lan's anesthetic to wear off. That would give him a better chance of saving his life.
The second brother in the scribe's uniform smiled. Just as he was about to speak, the old man stopped him and stepped forward in person, cupping his hands and saying, "Sir Taiwei, you are a hero. You are a good official. We all know this. However, we
The four brothers are not good people. What my third brother said about the four heroes of Heluo and Luo are just for us.
In fact, in the world, our brothers are known as the Four Fiends of Heluo. I am a bit older and the eldest among the four, known as Duan Hu, the black-hearted ghost. My second oldest child went to a private school for a few years, and he is a good friend.
Dressed as a scribe, he is known as the black-hearted scholar Ma Shan. The third child has a bad temper and is known as the violent bear Wang Kui. The fourth child does not like to talk.
, known as Yin Dao Zhao Sheng. Therefore, it is impossible for our brothers to serve as officials under you. However, although our brothers are not good people, they are good, but we still know it. What you didn’t say, Mr. Taiwei, is that he is truly good.
Official. The people of Youzhou will be truly blessed if they follow you. For a truly good official
Our brothers have always admired you. However, now that we have joined Prime Minister Cao’s sect, we have to kill you to get rid of Prime Minister Cao’s worries. However, if you have any last words or unfulfilled wishes,
.As long as our brothers can do what we can, we will definitely satisfy you, Lord Taiwei."
When Liu Ming heard this, he felt extremely miserable. Guo Jia arranged for people to assassinate Cao Cao, but Dong Zhuo and the others failed. But now that Cao Cao has arranged for people to come, how could he succeed? Aren't the spies who lurked in the past all controlled?
Are you here? Where did these four people come from?
However, although Liu Ming was flustered, after so many years of training, Liu Ming remained calm on the surface and still said with a smile on his face: "Old hero Duan, where did you come from? No one is born a bad person. As long as you
If you take refuge with me, I will never blame you. Moreover, today's Cao Cao, you should also
I know that although he is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. Now I have no choice but to get away. Just wait for the day when our army's flag is directed, Cao Cao, who has caused chaos in the government, will definitely be crowned. Why should the old hero Duan covet temporary wealth?
, to be buried with him. It’s better to take refuge with me. Doesn’t Mr. Duan still believe in my promise?”
Duan Hu shook his head and said: "How can I not believe the Taiwei-sama's promise? It's just that although the Taiwei-sama can let things go, his laws are too strict. We have been doing evil for a long time, and it is difficult to change our nature. I think back then,
When the Taiwei is rectifying the law and ordering things in Youzhou, even though Li Lang and other old subordinates who have been with the Taiwei for a long time cannot be pardoned. How can we deal with ourselves? However, although Prime Minister Cao is a Han traitor, but this
What does it have to do with me? We wait for brothers, which one
Is this a traitor to the Han Dynasty? Moreover, Prime Minister Cao issued a merit-based order: Anyone with talent, regardless of virtue, loyalty or filial piety, will be hired. Although some of his subordinates rebelled during the Battle of Xuzhou, Prime Minister Cao
Capture him, love his talent, and let bygones be bygones.
Still use it generously. What if we don't choose Prime Minister Cao? If Lord Taiwei can also make such a promise, when we make mistakes in the future, he will not blame us. Of course we will abandon the secret and turn to the bright.
Assist the Lord Taiwei and jointly pursue the cause of kingship."
