Chapter 18: Awakening! (2/3)
The twilight is dim, the remnant sun is like blood, and the sunset on the edge of the Qingyi River is like a gold-edged sunset, which is round at this time, radiant and dazzling, dazzling to the eyes, like a dream, so unreal.
The last trace of the remnant sun hit the ground, merging with the dull yellow earth, and the golden light was shining, swallowing the sky and the fertile sun.
A horse was galloping on the official road at the moment, and immediately sat two people, one big and one small, with a big face full of meat, holding a blood-dripping knife, constantly panting, and there were also these two bloody wounds on his back.
Sitting in front was a Confucian boy, but he was disheveled, his face was full of dust, and his originally smart eyes were dim at the moment.
It was Cao Chong and Zhou Dufu!
It was only four or five miles from the ginkgo break, but Zhou Dufu felt that it was as long as a century.
Along the way, not to mention ten black-clothed dead soldiers rushed up, and in the face of these fierce guys, Zhou Dufu would rather fight tigers.
But fortunately, relying on the foot strength of Wuheng horse and his own bravery, he finally cut down more than ten people who caught up one by one.
As long as Childe is okay!
From Cao Chong giving Wuhengma to Zhou Dufu, to selling his life to Cao Chong himself, Cao Chong has become the most important person besides his sister!
If you want to take his life, first step on my Zhou Dufu's body!
"Phew~"
Zhou Dufu stopped his horse, but the knife in his hand tightened.
In front of Zhou Dufu, a group of people appeared, and because the sky was a little dark, Zhou Dufu couldn't be sure who they were.
"Turna, don't put the knife down yet!" There was a loud roar from the opposite side, and an armored sergeant appeared in front of Zhou Dufu, he was eight feet tall, and he was no worse than Zhou Dufu.
"Who are you?" Zhou Dufu was not frightened by that roar, but was more cautious.
"I'm a centurion under the captain's account, if you don't get off the horse, you will be treated as a rebel!"
There are patrols around Xudu, and this is Xiahou Yuan's duty.
In ancient times, five people were one captain, ten people were chiefs, and one hundred people were centurions, and since this person called himself a centurion, he naturally had hundreds of people under him.
Cao Chong raised his head, and sure enough, there were more than a hundred people behind this person, and the black pressure was overwhelming, but it had a certain deterrent effect.
"Cao Chong, the son of Xia Sikong, the youngest nephew of Xiahou Yuan, the lieutenant of the military academy, has seen the general!"
Son of the Sky? The nephew of the lieutenant?
The centurion became cautious and said, "You said that you are the son of Sikong or the son of Sikong, is there anything that can prove your identity?"
Hearing this, Cao Chong suppressed the angry Zhou Dufu, not angry but happy, if the other party was not so cautious, Cao Chong would have worried that this was the second assassination, since he wanted evidence, it meant that he was not with the previous group.
"This dagger was given to me by my father, and I ask the general to test it or two."
With that, he untied the dagger from his belt and threw it in front of the centurion.
The centurion picked up the short sword, in fact, he was illiterate, but seeing that this sword was beautifully made, even if the other party was not the son of Sikong, it was not something that he could afford to provoke as a centurion, and he believed most of Cao Chong's words.
"Why is that boy so embarrassed?"
Yes, how did you get into such an embarrassing situation, the son of Sikong, a son.
"It's a long story, General, and I ask you to send troops to strangle the Assassins four or five miles away, and I am in such a situation because of him!"
Hearing Cao Chong's words, the centurion almost ran through the whole story.
It turned out that someone blatantly assassinated Sikong Aiko! To do such a thing in his own defense zone is undoubtedly a few slaps in the face.
This revenge will be avenged!
"Second brother, send the son to Sikong Mansion!" After the centurion called a sergeant, he rushed to the scene of the crime with a large army.
"Childe, please!" This sergeant is a long man, and there are naturally ten people under him, and he gave Cao Chong a horse, and the group of people quickly ran back to Xudu.
After entering the east gate of Xudu, Zhou Dufu breathed a sigh of relief, and after exhaling in one breath, the injury came up.
Dizzy, he fell down from Wuheng immediately.
Cao Chong hurriedly jumped off the horse, and Shi Chang, who was called the second elder, pressed his head on Zhou Dufu's chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Childe, this brother is fine, it's just that he has lost too much blood, just rest for a while!"
Cao Chong nodded, and with the efforts of everyone, he brought Zhou Dufu and Cao Chong to the Sikong Mansion.
The Sikong Mansion is huge, the stone seat in front of the door is mighty, and on the eighteen steps, Cao Ba's fat body is constantly pacing back and forth.
Xu Dumen is about to close, why hasn't the son come back yet? It's really a rush to kill our gang!
"Cao Ba, come here!" Cao Chong basically used all his strength, but in his small body, his voice overshadowed the noise of the street.
"Childe, is that you?" Cao Ba trotted over and almost fainted when he saw Cao Chong covered in blood.
What happened to this little ancestor?
"Quick, call the doctor out and carry this brother down!" The blood on Cao Chong's body was basically Zhou Dufu's, and he didn't leave a trace of blood himself.
But he was tired, his body was tired, and his heart was even more tired!
"Someone, come on!" After a while, the slaves of Cao Mansion carried Zhou Dufu to the mansion, followed by a few doctors, since they could hold on to Xu Du, with Zhou Dufu's physical fitness, there should be no danger to his life, but at this moment Cao Chong began to worry about Zhou Budo.
Don't let anything happen to you!
"Childe!" The second child raised his exquisite short sword with both hands and half-knelt in front of Cao Chong.
The centurion sent Cao Chong to Sikong Mansion for one reason, naturally because he wanted to protect Cao Chong, but another reason was that he was afraid that Cao Chong would lie.
If he is not the son of Sikong, then Xu Du Prison will have to go to the prison......
But apparently, this prince did not lie, and since he did not lie, the short sword was returned to himself.
Cao Chong picked up the second child, and then handed the short sword to Cao Ba.
"Please, thanks to the escort of all the soldiers, I am grateful!" said to Cao Ba.
"Cao Ba is in charge, go to the mansion and get some money to drink some wine for the sergeants."
"Whoa!"
After Cao Ba left, Cao Chong took the second child's hand and said, "Who was the general before, I will come to thank you for coming to the door!"
That centurion, who seems to be extremely brave, will not be an ordinary person!
Where has the second child been treated so equally by the sons of the family, those sons and brothers are not arrogant, and they don't treat us as people at all.
And this Cao Chong Gongzi will not, although the second child did not shed tears at this moment, his red face has already explained the problem.
"I don't deserve the title of general, my family is just a centurion."
Five people are one captain, ten people are chiefs, one hundred people are centurions, five hundred people are small commanders, and one thousand people are large capitals. 3,000 people are positive and partial generals, 5,000 people are positive and partial generals, and 10,000 are set up as general and deputy generals.
Only a partial general who leads 3,000 troops can be called a general, and a centurion is indeed not qualified.
"It doesn't matter, the general is forced, and it is a matter of time before he becomes a general!"
The lord humiliates the ministers to death, the lord is honored and the ministers are honored, and the second child is naturally full of pride.
"My centurion's name is Hao Zhao, and he used military merits to achieve the position of centurion!"
Hao Zhao? Cao Chong searched for memories in his mind, but although he had watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, he couldn't bear that there were too many characters in the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Chong was not sure whether this Hao Zhao was a celebrity of the Three Kingdoms!
But even if it's not, you saved your life, and this kindness must be remembered!
"Hao Zhao, I remember! Second, if you save someone later, remember to send it to Sikong Mansion! ”
"Whoa!"
Cao Chong looked at the sun that had already set in the west, and Xu Du only had a trace of blood-red light, only the smoke of the family's cooking, and it was dinner time.
Cao Chong looked at the east gate of Xudu, but there was a worry in his heart that could not be concealed.
Wen Zhi, Wen Zhi! Don't let anything happen to you!
Back in Sikong Mansion, Cao Chong dispersed the people and was alone in a daze in the pavilion.
If Cao Chong still regarded himself as a tourist in this world before, after today's moment of life and death, Cao Chong has regarded himself as the real Cao Chong.
Scold!
Idle King, Doctor and Doctor, it's just a dream!
How can you be free in the game of life?
A pond of lotus, a little loneliness, sighing at the moon, these three kingdoms are really the era of cannibalism.
So......
If I don't advance, I can only retreat, and if I retreat, it will be death!
Then there is no way back!
Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Sima Jia! Your moves, I'm Cao Chong, follow them one by one!
Since I can't get away with it, I can only let myself get away with it!
In this world, no matter how you say it, you have to have a share of my Cao Chong!
