Cao Zhang's war horse galloped wildly in the dense forest, completely ignoring the obstruction of the trees, shrubs and rocks in the forest next to it, and just kept moving forward.
Cao Zhang could only lie down as low as possible and hug the horse's neck tightly with both hands to prevent himself from slipping off the horse's back.
After running forward for an unknown distance, Cao Zhang's horse suddenly drew back its hooves and stopped abruptly.
Affected by inertia, Cao Zhang could no longer control his body, fell forward, and fell from the horse to the ground.
Fortunately, the horse's speed had slowed down, and there were thick weeds growing on the ground. Although Cao Zhang fell heavily when he landed, he was fortunately not injured.
"Oh, it hurts me so much!" Cao Zhang groaned as he slowly got up from the ground and turned to look at his horse.
After the war horse left Cao Zhang behind, it no longer ran forward, but rushed straight to the foot of a big tree. First, it smelled with its nose, then raised its front hooves, straightened up, hugged the trunk and "trembled" violently.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Cao Zhang was stunned. He couldn't imagine how his horse could behave in such a strange way!
He sniffed, and after running so far, there was still a fishy smell in the air, and the source of that smell was actually in the big tree hugged by the war horse.
Cao Zhang noticed something strange, stood up slowly, and approached the war horse and the big tree.
As the distance approached, Cao Zhang saw everything clearly.
There was obviously a large piece of wetness on the trunk of the big tree. It was obvious that some kind of liquid had been sprayed on it. After getting closer, it could be judged that the smell was coming from the liquid on the tree.
Cao Zhang looked carefully into the war horse's eyes and was startled again.
The war horse's eyes have become extremely red, and its trembling movements while holding the tree are getting more and more crazy, as if it has entered a state of estrus and madness.
Cao Zhang felt something strange. His horse had obviously been strongly stimulated, and the source of the stimulation was the liquid on the tree.
Mare piss!
Cao Zhang suddenly realized that someone was constantly spraying mare urine in the forest to attract the war horses, causing the horses to eventually enter a state of madness.
But what is the purpose of this person doing this?
"Your Excellency has spent so much effort just to see me! Why don't you show up yet?!" Cao Zhang stood up and shouted loudly around him.
At the same time, his hand also tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand. The other party had taken great pains to plot against him, and it must have had bad intentions.
"Master Cao is indeed smart!" A response came from the woods.
Then a man in black clothes and a mask covered with black cloth flew down from a big tree and stood in front of Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang looked at the sharp sword clenched in the opponent's hand and already guessed the opponent's intention.
"If I guessed correctly, you should have given my war horse some aphrodisiac drugs first, and then after I was separated from my subordinates, you sprayed the mare's urine in the forest, causing my war horse to go into estrus and go crazy, killing me. Did you lead him here?"
Cao Zhang, who is a forensic doctor, has completely understood the entire process and content of the opponent's plan after a simple analysis.
"Young Master's guess is absolutely correct. It's just that you realize it's too late!" The other party didn't hide anything and responded to Cao Zhang candidly.
Cao Zhang secretly sighed. He only wanted to keep a low profile, but he forgot that Cao Pi would not be willing to let himself become bigger, and would continue to find people to hurt him. This person must be the assassin he sent.
"May I ask your Excellency what your name is?" Cao Zhang asked.
The other party responded coldly: "The young master is going to die soon anyway, so what can I do if I know my name?"
"At least let me know in whose hands I died, and I can die peacefully!" Cao Zhang still tried hard to find out the other party's identity.
By doing this, he was also trying to delay as much time as possible to get Li Jin, Xiahou Ba and others to come.
Although after competing with Xu Huang, he had a clear understanding of his own force value, and he was definitely at the level of a first-class warrior.
But after all, it was a battle on horseback, with swords and guns.
The man in front of me is definitely a swordsman, even a professional killer!
Facing this kind of enemy who is good at close combat, the degree of danger is completely different. If you don't have to face it alone, you must still try to avoid it!
Moreover, knowing the identity of the other party can also give a clearer understanding of the other party's strength to make the next judgment.
"Well, you'll be dead soon anyway, so it doesn't matter if you know. My name is Wang Yue!" the other party responded coldly.
Wang Yue? !
Hearing the other party's name, Cao Zhang took a breath!
If he didn't even know who the Sword God Wang Yue was, then he would have read so many classics and novels about the Three Kingdoms in vain.
"To be able to invite the Sword God to take action, it seems that the other party must have made a big move, right?! I will offer three times as much as he offers, can you let me go?" Cao Zhang tried to bribe the other party while stalling for time.
Wang Yue looked at Cao Zhang and smiled: "Money is really a good thing, and I really like it! This deal looks like a good deal!"
Cao Zhang thought that his offer impressed Wang Yue, and continued: "Of course it's a good deal. If Brother Wang is willing, we can cooperate for a long time in the future!"
Cao Zhang was naturally interested in recruiting talents like Wang Yue.
The tip of the sword in Wang Yue's hand slowly dropped, apparently giving up the idea of attacking.
"Young Master is indeed generous. It seems that I have no reason to refuse this deal..." Wang Yue expressed his desire to accept the cooperation with Cao Zhang.
Suddenly, he jumped up suddenly, and without giving Cao Zhang any time to react, he flew forward and stabbed Cao Zhang in the heart with a fierce sword.
While the two were talking, Wang Yue had been observing Cao Zhang's position and had already thought of a plan in his mind, so after making the decision, he took action without any hesitation.
Cao Zhang didn't expect that the king, who was talking so nicely, would suddenly take action and move so fast.
A ray of cold light came straight towards him, really fast as lightning, leaving him no time to react. At this time, it was too late to raise the sword in his hand to block, so he could only try his best to dodge sideways.
Poof!
Cao Zhang acted in a hurry, and although he escaped the fatal blow, his left arm was still struck by the blade of the sword. A two-inch long gash was cut directly on his left arm, and blood immediately flowed down.
Before Cao Zhang could cry out in pain or react, Wang Yue flipped his wrist and stabbed Cao Zhang in the face with another sword.
Cao Zhang only felt a chill, and a suffocating murderous intent rushed towards his face, which made people shudder.
Without thinking, Cao Zhang stepped back a few steps without stopping, and then he dodged Wang Yue's sword and stopped.
Cao Zhang stopped, feeling shocked.
He knew Wang Yue's name and imagined that the other party's strength must be extraordinary, but he did not feel that the strength gap between the two sides was so big.
Although Wang Yue's first sword had the element of a sneak attack, it was still beyond Cao Zhang's expectation that he could be completely confused and injured in just two moves.
Cao Zhang glared at Wang Yue, obviously angered by his sneak attack.
Wang Yue said to Cao Zhang with a regretful and joking smile: "I like money very much, but I also know that as a killer, you must abide by the rules! If you use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, I can only blame you for not asking me for cooperation first." !”
"I have to say something. Everyone in the world says that Mr. Cao Zhang is very brave. When I saw him today, he truly lived up to his reputation. Not many people can still stand after taking two strikes from my sword!"
Cao Zhang knew that Wang Yue's words were not bragging. I am afraid that many people would not be able to dodge the sneak attack just now.
Cao Zhang understood that it was definitely unrealistic to expect others to save him at this time. Only by fighting hard could he have a chance to survive.
Cao Zhang took a deep breath, raised the sword in his hand, and pointed the sword tip at Wang Yue...
