When he learned the identity of the person in front of him, Cao Mao seemed slightly dazed.
In another timeline, this person stabbed himself to death with a spear.
Later, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Sima Zhao, who wanted to kill his clan.
He and his brother did not admit guilt, took off their clothes, climbed onto the roof, cursed Sima Zhao, and were shot by soldiers.
Cao Mao looked at the guy in front of him.
He was plain in appearance, not tall in stature, and was not the strongest among the knights.
It's just that his eyes are full of arrogance and arrogance, which is very unpleasant.
The knights around him also had a very bad opinion of him.
They all believed that Cheng Ji only held such an important position through his elder brother's relationship.
His elder brother was very powerful. He was born in the army and was appreciated and promoted by Fenwu General Shi Bao. He then gained the attention of Sima Zhao and rose through the ranks with a bright future.
Chengji, compared to his brother, is really ordinary.
He probably also knows the opinions of outsiders. He is not very close to everyone. He just immerses himself in serving others. He is very active in everything he does. It is obvious that he wants to get ahead.
But for some reason, Cao Mao didn't have any hatred or fear for the person in front of him.
On the contrary, Cao Mao suddenly felt that the guy in front of him was a useful talent.
Killing the emperor in the street is something that no one would dare to do except the most reckless of all.
There are many people who dare to kill the emperor, but they usually kill them with poison, and even if it doesn't work, they will have to be strangled. This has to be done secretly. If you go to kill the emperor in the street, no matter whether you succeed or not, the three tribes will have to thank you in advance for your great kindness. Virtue.
But this kind of reckless man can also play a great role sometimes.
Do those who dare to kill a king in the street also dare to kill a general in the street?
However, Cao Mao now does not have any capital to recruit others.
All he could win over were merchants, knights, and "untouchables" who were looked down upon by the higher-ups.
Compared to the Sima family, he couldn't give anything.
Even if he becomes the emperor, the benefits he can promise are probably not as good as those of the Sima family.
However, Cao Mao is full of energy and vitality.
He had the brute strength to smash the southern wall and never look back. He ignored all this and was willing to try even if there was only one chance in ten thousand.
If you do it, you may fail; if you don't do it, you will definitely fail.
"It turns out to be Chengjun, what a strong man!"
"I'm usually very fond of martial arts. I see that your martial arts skills are extraordinary and there is nothing else to do. I wonder if you can teach me?"
Cheng Ji shook his head, looking rather indifferent.
"How dare you attack His Majesty?"
"With your martial arts skills, you must be able to control them freely. How could you hurt me? Please don't dislike it. It's just a private exchange..."
No matter what Cheng Ji said, he couldn't get rid of the brown candy, so he had no choice but to agree to him.
Cao Mao took out the wooden stick he usually used for sparring, and several knights also looked here curiously.
The two were prepared and launched an attack at the same time.
Cheng Ji's attack was very straightforward. He struck down with a powerful and heavy stick, which was much faster than Cao Mao. Cao Mao raised his stick horizontally to block the blow and took a few steps back.
At this moment, Cao Mao already had a preliminary understanding of Cheng Ji's strength.
This guy's martial arts skills are not bad, and his rangers are definitely no match for him!
His strength is far greater than his own, and his speed is also very fast. Now he is not his opponent. He can barely survive, but if he waits until the end, he will definitely lose.
Cao Mao thought about this, and Cheng Ji attacked again, but the wooden stick had already been swept towards Cao Mao's legs. Cao Mao was shocked and could not stop him, and was swept to the ground by Cheng Ji.
Cheng Ji put away the wooden stick and looked slightly proud, "Is your Majesty okay?"
Cao Mao hurriedly stood up, clapped his hands and said, "The general is so brave! He is so brave! There is no other overlord like this in ancient times!"
When Cheng Ji heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Your Majesty is overly complimentary."
"I have always been good at martial arts. I practice a lot on weekdays. I am self-satisfied and complacent. When I met the general today, I felt ashamed..."
"General, I wonder if you can give me a lesson?"
Cheng Ji was in a good mood at the moment and said: "Your Majesty is very agile, but his moves are slow and not simple enough. This martial art is a fighting art. Whoever hits the opponent first will win. Your martial arts skills are like those of a market man." What you use as a ranger is not suitable for fighting, just for attacking..."
Cao Mao just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Cheng Ji really had some skills.
According to him, Cao Mao's moves have a lot of redundant little moves, which are not simple and direct enough.
Cao Mao memorized his teachings very carefully, and stabbed and chopped several times according to what he taught.
Cheng Ji nodded happily, "That's it."
Cao Mao was overjoyed and said, "General, you are such a talented general. How can you be a cavalry inspector with such a fierce general? You are a general! I will personally recommend you to the general!"
Cheng Ji calmed down and his expression turned cold again, "No need to bother Your Majesty."
"Hahaha, don't worry too much. I will continue to ask you for advice in the future. The general will definitely have a bright future!"
Cao Mao then adjusted his important target to win over Cheng Ji.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Cao Mao's martial arts also improved a lot due to Cheng Ji's guidance.
Wang Su failed to catch the thief, but the martial law in the city did not end, and these knights no longer allowed Cao Mao to go out.
Fortunately, Sima Yan came to visit Cao Mao from time to time.
He really brought the ingredients and chef and entertained Cao Mao.
Cao Mao was still as enthusiastic as ever, and even performed his rather advanced martial arts in front of Sima Yan.
He then summoned Cheng Ji and said to Sima Yan: "These days, I have been learning from this man. This man is very brave and has the qualities of a fierce general. After An Shi returns, he can be recommended to the general. For such a fierce general to serve as a Cavalry Superintendent, it is really an incompetence of his talents!"
Cao Mao added: "However, please don't tell the general that I recommended you, otherwise the general will mistakenly think that Chengjun was recommended because of flattery to me."
"With your recommendation, there should be no talented people left in the field."
Cheng Ji was a little confused.
He originally thought that the other party just wanted to win over him or alienate him.
But looking at it now, how come he seems to really care about himself?
Sima Yan was also shocked and confused.
You know that the General is my uncle, right? Why do you think I will help you hide it from your uncle?
It sounds like we are a family!
"Cao Mao!!!"
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside, and a burst of noise and abuse came into the house.
Cheng Ji subconsciously pulled out his sword and stood in front of the two of them.
Soon a knight hurried in and looked at Sima Yan.
"Sir, the guard general Guo Jian led his men to forcefully break into the house, but we blocked the door!"
Sima Yan was stunned.
"Why is this?"
Cao Mao also looked curious, "My uncle wants to come in, why do he have to force his way in?"
"Anshi! Let's go take a look!"
When the two walked out of the house, the two groups were confronting each other. Guo Jian's eyes were red and his face was full of anger. He was holding a sharp sword and pointed it at the knights in front of him, looking extremely irritable.
Seeing Cao Mao come out, he immediately raised his head and shouted: "Cao Mao!! You killed my brother!! I will never forgive you!!"
Hearing these words, Cao Mao's heart sank, but he asked blankly: "What happened? Why did uncle speak like this?"
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you! How could my brother be killed?!"
"I am going to kill you!!!"
"Uncle is dead?!"
Cao Mao's eyes widened, full of shock, perhaps sadness, and he almost fell to the ground.
"How could that happen? Who dares to kill my uncle?!"
"who is it?!"
"It's you! You want to vindicate Xia Houxuan! My eldest brother was implicated and was wrongfully killed, and it's all your fault!!"
Guo Jian was almost crazy.
Cao Mao's eyes were full of despair.
"My uncle actually died because of me... How can I live in this world with dignity?"
He suddenly pulled out his sword, "An Shi! I'll take the first step!"
Sima Yan felt horrified and screamed. Cheng Ji had quick eyesight and quick hands and hugged Cao Mao. Cao Mao kept struggling.
Sima Yan looked angrily at Guo Jian, who almost killed Cao Mao, and shouted angrily: "You thief! What do you want to do?!"
"How can you kill your brother without going out?!"
"You will go after whoever made a move. Why put the blame on the countryman?!"
"If your brother died because of Xiahou Gong's affairs, he deserved to die. How dare you ruin his posthumous reputation?!"
Guo Jian stared fiercely at Sima Yan in front of him, his hands trembled, and the sharp sword slipped from his hands.
Immediately, he collapsed and knelt on the ground, covering his head and crying.
If he really had the courage to take revenge on the real murderer, why would he come here?
ps: I heard many people complaining that I write too little, so please relax and wait for a big explosion on the day it is released. Then I will update 10,000 words every day, rain or shine, so that everyone can enjoy reading!
The main reason is that there are still many recommendations that have not been finished, and I can’t keep up with the word count.
