Chapter Twenty-Seven: Qin Xu's Murder (II)
"How innocent are these villagers? Why did General Cao kill him? After learning that the first evil in front of me was Cao Hong, who gave the horse to Cao Ying in history, and said the strong sentence "There is no flood in the world, and there can be no justice", Cao Hong was called "White Bird" by Cao Ying!
This place is not far from Tongguan, and it can be inferred from the words of the little leader that the place where Dong Zhuo ambushed Cao Ying when he retreated is probably this place.
This is Cao Ying's sad place, Qin Xu sighed for Cao Ying's defeat before, and praised Cao Hong's "righteousness".
Cao Yingyun Cao Hong takes revenge? I'm afraid it's another thing that has been covered up by history, no one knows what the situation was at that time, but seeing Cao Hong so ruthlessly against those villagers, I'm afraid that the matter in the middle is not the person concerned, and it is difficult to say clearly.
However, Cao Hong's revenge is definitely done by Cao Ying, if it is written like this in the novel, maybe Qin Xu will praise Cao Ying will really buy people's hearts.
However, this is what Qin Xu saw with his own eyes! Living people, unarmed villagers. Without any resistance, he died under the knife of Cao Hong and others.
"Who are you, boy? Why do you know this? Cao Hong's hand had already been put down on the handle of the knife, Cao Hong was not an idiot, and from Qin Xu's questioning, he felt that Qin Xu seemed to know too much.
"Master Qin, we sent it this time! A full fifty war horses, the lord ...... this time Belch? Still alive? ”
Just as there was tension between Qin Xu and Cao Hong, Sima Mao's voice of surprise suddenly came from the ruins of the village behind Cao Hong, causing Cao Hong to immediately draw his knife and reflexively protect himself.
"Humph!" Qin Xu was in a state of confusion at this time, and when he saw Sima Mao shouting out so recklessly, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
"So it's you?" Cao Hong also reacted, staring at Qin Xu with angry eyes, and asked Qin Xu in disbelief in his tone.
"Not us!" Qin Xu said lightly, made a decision in his heart, as if the whole person was much more relaxed, and said to Cao Hong with compassion: "It's the ghost who killed the villagers in vain in this village!" ”
"Fart!" After Cao Hong heard Qin Xu's words, his hand holding the knife shook for a moment, and then reacted, glaring at Qin Xu angrily and said: "We are soldiers under the command of the Taishou of Dongjun, you are so bold, if you can bow down and commit a misdemeanor, maybe ......."
"Qin Xu, be careful!" Lu Lingqi snorted coquettishly, and her voice was halberded.
"Click!"
The steel knife in Cao Hong's hand that slashed at Qin Xu collided with the wooden halberd stretched out by Lu Lingqi. The blade slashed through the sprigs of the halberd, sinking deep into the halberd's spearhead.
"Thieves dare!" Xu Huang raised his leg and kicked Cao Hong to the ground. Xu Huang's weapon axe was hung on the horse's wing ring, just saw Cao Hong suddenly out of the knife, Xu Huang, who had no weapons in his hand, actually blocked his body in front of Qin Xu, at this time Seeing that Cao Hong lost his blade, the angry Xu Huang instantly divided Cao Hong into a mess with three strikes and five divisions.
also deserved Cao Hong's bad luck, after being so frightened, he was already weak, and it was easy to find an opportunity, seeing that Qin Xu seemed to be the leader of this gang, he thought that he would catch Qin Xu at once, or end up with Qin Xu's surname, but he didn't expect that the knife was jammed now, and then he was kicked over by the strong man who had just blocked Qin Xu.
"Master Qin, are you okay?" Lu Lingqi threw aside the wooden halberd with only one wooden stick left, and asked Qin Xu casually, but kept muttering: "The wooden halberd is not used, it's all to blame on the father, and people are always not allowed to touch his Fang Tianhua halberd, really, really annoying......"
Qin Xu's eyes had been staring at Cao Hong, who was twisted into a ball on the ground, and when he heard Lu Lingqi's words, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Lu Lingqi, who had been complaining about the lack of use of weapons: "Miss Lu, don't worry, when I see the lord, I will think of a way for you, and I will ask you for a weapon you like no matter what." ”
"I want Daddy's Fang Tian Painting Halberd!" Lu Lingqi's eyes lit up and said excitedly.
“……”
"Daddy? Fang Tian draws a halberd? You...... You are ......" Cao Hong was angry and wanted to die, and the little boss who was tied up by Sima Mao who came out from behind on the side exclaimed after hearing the conversation between Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi: "You are Lu Bujun's people? ”
"You know too much!" Qin Xu, who had already made a major decision in his heart, his tone became relaxed.
What Cao Ying really reused was the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan and other relatives, these people were capable and loyal, and they could most reassure Cao Ying. And now Qin Xu and Cao Hong are in an endless situation, and Cao Ying's move of allowing Cao Hong to "retaliate" this time also made Qin Xu desperate to defect to Lao Cao.
What to do? Do you want to be an executioner? Although human life was as cheap as a dog during the Three Kingdoms period, as a later generation, it was difficult to accept how to adjust his mentality.
Lao Cao, Lao Cao, if you buy people's hearts, you can buy people's hearts, why do you want to use the surnames of some irrelevant people to soothe the hearts of your important ministers? But Cao Ying seems to be this kind of person, think about Lao Cao's big move in Xuzhou not long after, it was not the dozens of innocent villagers Kobe who died under Cao Hong, but the entire four or five cities, after Lao Cao gave the order to slaughter the city, but it became a hundred miles of uninhabited land. Qin Xu frowned, after experiencing Cao Ying's connivance with Cao Hong's killing of good people, some of the things that Cao Ying had done that had been deliberately downplayed before made Qin Xu feel more and more tired.
"Qin Xu, what's wrong with you?" Cai Yan didn't know when he came to Qin Xu, who had been frowning since he subdued Cao Hong, and he didn't call Qin Xu's official position, but he really looked like a sister, and patted Qin Xu's shoulder with Qin Xu's habitual surname movements, and asked softly.
"It's okay, I'm wondering what to do with these people." Qin Xu pointed to Cao Hong and the other four who were tied up by five flowers, and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
"Do you still need to think about it? Just kill it! Lu Lingqi squeezed to Cai Yan and Qin Xu's side, and looked at the four people humming on the ground with disdain.
"Master Qin's book can't!" Xu Huang hurriedly stopped: "If this matter is known by Cao Gong, I am afraid it will not be beautiful." ”
Xu Huang didn't have any selfish intentions in what he said, although Cao Ying's background was not very good, but because of the assassination of Dong Zhuo and the initiation of the Eighteenth Road Princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, the weight in the hearts of the people of the world at this time can almost be said to be the same as Lu Bu, and Cao Ying has a territory and the wealth of the big businessman Wei Zi as a backing, and his strength is much stronger than Lu Bu.
"Sister Cai, you say, should this thief be killed?" Lu Lingqi pursed her lips and looked for reinforcements.
"The eldest lady has a point!" Sima Mao made do with it, and Qin Xu stared at the matter just now, which actually made the elite of the camp break out in a cold sweat, I really wonder if his mind was too tense just now, how did Master Qin's eyes suddenly become so aggressive, and until now Sima Mao is still a little concerned.
"This ......" Cai Yan's beautiful eyes looked at Qin Xu, as if he wanted to see through Qin Xu's thoughts, and did not draw a conclusion.
"It's okay!" Qin Xu smiled, closed his eyes and let out a long breath, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he pulled out the short blade for Pingjian barbecue from Sima Mao's waist.
"General Cao Hong, do you know?" Qin Xu leaned into the ear of Cao Hong, who was curled up on the ground, and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear, "Originally, we might be able to become colleagues and friends. It's a pity that you're too unpresent! Lao Cao is too unscene, no matter what will happen to him in the future, but just this matter, I, Qin Xu, am a human being in two lives, and I really can't stand it! ”
"Pounce!"
As if it was the sound of a knife chopping bones, Qin Xu took a sharp breath, used all his strength, and stabbed the short knife into Cao Hong's exposed neck.
A blood arrow sprayed Qin Xu's head and face, and at this time, it was dripping from his face drop by drop.
"Goodbye, General Cao Hong, who killed good and risked his merits!"
"Goodbye, the future of the wife Cao GRD."
"Goodbye, my dear Director Qin!"
"I am the master bookkeeper Qin Xu!!"
Qin Xu pulled out the short knife inserted in Cao Hong's neck and used all his strength to shout out incomprehensible words in the incomprehensible gaze of everyone.
"Qin Xu!"
"Master Qin!"
In the shouts of everyone, Qin Xu finally calmed down, only to feel as if he had no strength in his body, his legs were weak, and he happened to lean on Lu Lingqi, who was standing on Qin Xu's right.
"Hey, Qin Xu, are you okay? Qin Xu? Qin Xu? Lu Lingqi didn't care about whether Qin Xu's actions were rude at this time, so she hurriedly hugged Qin Xu, and kept asking Qin Xu, who was soft like noodles but gasping for breath.
"Miss Lu, don't worry, Master Qin's mind is exhausted, and there is some loss of strength, and it will be fine if you take a rest." Xu Huang, who I had known for a long time, hurriedly said.
"Hurry up and help Qin Xu go back, Qin Xu made himself like this, General Gao is probably also in a hurry." Cai Yan commanded while helping Lu Lingqi to support Qin Xu.
"Whoa! Miss, Miss Cai, let's carry Master Qin's book. Kong Er said in a daze.
"Let's play!"
Without waiting for Cai Yan and Lu Lingqi to answer, Sima Mao pushed away Kong Erzi, who was moving forward, and rushed to the ground trembling Cao Yingjun and the three, snorted his mouth, and made a reproachful look at Kong Erzi, and said loudly: "The dirty work is yours, don't be foolish." ”
Gao Shun didn't know how many times he had been asked by Yan and Diao Chan, Lu Lingqi had been away for so long, Qin Xu hadn't come back for a long time, and even Xu Huang and a few soldiers who had fallen into the camp had gone, but they didn't reply, which was really worrying. Cai Yong, the old man, can do it, but he keeps pretending to groan from time to time in the direction where a few people should come back, but he betrays the mind of this stubborn old man.
It wasn't until the fire rose in the southeast that Gao Shun told a few people about what Lu Lingqi and Sima Mao had come back to say. What is the real relationship between Gao Shun and Lu Bu, Mrs. Yan and Diao Chan naturally know, and it is inconvenient to blame Gao Shun, but Cai Yong has no scruples, and after hearing that it is Qin Xu's plan, he is even more furious, full of vertical and vertical sons, and scolded Qin Xu for a bloody head before he saw Qin Xu.
"It's back, it's back."
Watching Xu Huang's light horse slowly walk towards this side from a distance, even Gao Shun stood up and looked at the gradually clear figure with concern. It's just that after really seeing the person who came, Mrs. Yan, Diao Chan and even Gao Shun all became weird, in front of Lu Lingqi's horseback, the bloody figure who fell in Miss Lu's arms and was hugged tightly by Lu Lingqi was not Qin Xu?
After listening to what Cai Yan, Sima Mao and the others said, even Old Man Cai snorted angrily, and finally did not continue to scold Qin Xu.
After listening to this, Gao Shun's face changed a few times, and there was a rare smile on his ancient and modern face, and he said lightly: "It's okay!" ”
"It's okay!"
