Li Kui followed Cao Cao's order and seized the city gate as a way out. With his temperament, he wanted to chop the city wall into pieces with an axe.
However, those tax soldiers were very brave, and there was even a good hand among them. His swords danced brilliantly, not losing to Ma Lin. Li Kui fought hard and killed all the more than 20 tax soldiers. Only this good hand was still struggling.
At this moment, he saw Cao Cao coming on horseback, with many soldiers chasing behind him. His eyes turned red with anxiety, and he let out a roar. Regardless of his own life, he threw the two axes with all his strength, then opened his arms and pounced on him.
The double-swordsman didn't expect that he would actually throw an axe. He blocked one axe in a hurry, but the other ax that followed could no longer block it. With a roar, half of the axe's head did not enter his chest, and his body was The big ax knocked back more than ten feet.
Li Kui was immediately overjoyed and thought that the power of my flying ax was more powerful than the two throwing knives and javelins in Mangdang Mountain. He stepped on his chest and pulled out the ax, picked up another ax, rushed over and banged it a few times, broke the iron lock, pushed hard, and the two city gates were pushed wide open, shouting: "Brother, hurry up Out of town!"
Cao Cao said: "You get out of the city first!" But he stood by the door and hung on the bow. He picked up his bow again and shot an arrow at the pursuers.
The man surnamed Si was also shrewd. When he saw that the horse Li Kui had ridden before was standing there blankly watching the people fighting, he took the reins, jumped up, and followed Luan Tingyu to the door.
Luan Tingyu shouted: "Brother, leave quickly!"
Cao Cao said: "You just have to leave first!" He was still firing arrows in his hand.
With his help here, and the magic archer himself, the monk and others escaped to the city gate without any danger.
At this time, the magic archer had run out of arrows. Seeing that Cao Cao still had seven or eight arrows in the pot, he snatched them away and said, "You are not accurate enough, lend me some."
He shouted loudly: "Old thief Zhu Xun, even though I can't kill you today, I still want you to know Grandpa's magic arrow!"
Seven or eight arrows were fired in a row, and the bowstring turned into an afterimage. The tax army warriors chasing in front fell over again. A long arrow penetrated everyone's forehead three inches into the bone.
Of the more than 300 capable tax troops, less than half remain. No matter how brave they are, they can't help but feel a little discouraged.
As soon as these elites stopped, the officers and soldiers behind them immediately stopped and shouted: "The thieves have escaped, the thieves have escaped."
Cao Cao and the archer took their time and walked out of the city gate.
When the troops and horses in the city were reorganized and they were chased out of the city, Cao Cao and others were already in a hill ten miles away.
Eight people, divided into two sides, stood opposite each other.
The monk first clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Shiyu from Shandong in Jiangnan. Tsk, tsk, three people dared to come and kill Zhu Xun. They are really worthy of their reputation."
He patted his chest and said: "I am the monk Baoguang. His lay name is Deng Yuanjue. He was entrusted by the Holy Duke to come to the north to kill the dog officer. These few are also heroes who were entrusted by the Holy Duke."
Pointing to the swordsman with a bare chest and curly beard, he said, "This man's name is Shi Bao. He has excellent swordsmanship and is known as the 'Nanli Magic Sword'."
Pointing to the man named Si, he said: "This is a brother who has been with the Holy Duke for a long time. His name is Si Xingfang, and he is nicknamed 'Tiger Slaughter Knife'."
He also pointed to the archer: "This amazing archer is called 'Xiao Yang Youji'. His surname is Pang and his given name is Wanchun."
Then he pointed at the girl and said, "The girl you carelessly grabbed by the neck and held hands with is the only daughter of the Holy Duke, 'Green Phoenix' Fang Jinzhi."
When Fang Jinzhi heard him mention this, his face turned red, he glared at Deng Yuanjue fiercely, and turned away.
Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "It turns out she is a daughter of a famous family! I was forced by the situation and was rude for a moment. There are so many ladies. Don't be offended."
Fang Jinzhi snorted and ignored it, his face getting redder.
Cao Cao didn't say much, and just smiled at the others: "The skills of these people are amazing, which is an eye-opener for my brothers. I don't think there are so many extravagant heroes around Shenggong. It is also a great achievement to be able to fight side by side with these people today." It's a strange relationship. Allow me to introduce you, this is my brother, Teacher Luan Tingyu, known as 'Iron Rod' Luan Tingyu. This black man is also my brother, called 'Black Whirlwind' Li Kui."
"As for me, I pretended to be my brother Gongming, but my actual surname is Wu Mingzhi."
"Wu Mengde!" Several people on the other side shouted in unison. Shi Bao looked at him up and down with a playful expression: "When I was waiting in the south, I heard a lot about the names of Little Tornado and Timely Rain. This time when I came north, I heard it in my ears. But it’s all your name, I must have come from behind and overshadowed the small whirlwind and the timely rain. If King Tota hadn’t done a big job in Jiangzhou, your brother’s name would have been the most famous north of the Yangtze River.”
Seeing that his expression was not very respectful, Li Kui said angrily: "I was working as a prison boy in Jiangzhou before I met my brother to follow me. Although brother Chao Gai is loyal, how could he do such a big thing without my brother to take charge? That's it. Brother Chao Gai also wanted to make my brother famous for the position of leader of the village several times, but my brother doesn’t like vain fame, so he made brother Nagan of Liangshan famous."
Seeing Li Kui's straightforwardness, Shi Bao didn't doubt that he was fake, and said blankly: "You are so famous, how dare you let someone else do it?"
Cao Cao said: "King Chao Tian is my beloved brother. When he becomes famous, I will become famous as well. How can we distinguish between us? There is another reason. Because Wu is still the capital of Yanggu County, many things cannot be done in public, such as this This time I used the name of brother Gongming to cover up, and I ask you all to keep this matter a secret for me."
Deng Yuanjue and others were all heroic men. When they saw Cao Cao telling his heart and being so upright, they immediately looked at him with admiration and patted their chests and agreed to keep it secret.
Cao Cao asked Li Kui to take out cooking cakes and dried meat from the baggage: "Seeing that it's getting late, we don't treat each other well, so let's eat for now."
Those people were overjoyed, and each took a portion in their hands, sat down on the spot, and chatted while eating.
Deng Yuanjue said: "We have also heard about what happened in Jiangzhou. It was so joyful. Do you want to repeat it in Xuzhou? But you are just waiting for three people. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, it is too much."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Master, listen to me. My brothers and I experienced the Jiangzhou incident and were on their way back, but Li Kui's mother was still in her hometown. Teacher Luan and I accompanied him to pick up her mother. When we passed Pengcheng, there were Liangshan brothers at the door. Li Kui was not angry for a while, so he got into trouble and took over the city gate by mistake. The people begged each other, hoping that I would wait in and deliver justice. They also blamed me for being a fool. Thinking about a mere county, what risks could there be? I went in and inquired about the most evil official. He came to kill him and ran away. What could he do? Who would have thought that they had already deployed thousands of troops and almost got lost here. "
When those people heard this, they laughed loudly, and Shi Bao said: "Of all the counties in the world, this is probably the most dangerous place. You have to come, and the old dog Zhu Xun has prepared a trap for us, but you have fallen into a big insect like you. In fact, The five of us have been in Pengcheng for several days, but unfortunately Zhu Xun, the dog thief, was so careful that we never had the chance to kill him."
Si Xingfang continued: "Today you accidentally bumped into Zhu Xun, and we wanted to take the opportunity to kill him. Unexpectedly, he was not only on guard, but also hid the officers and soldiers in the city. Alas, this time it was a miscalculation. Revenge is really not easy." After saying that, he sighed again.
Deng Yuanjue and Pang Wanchun also sighed.
"Then we have to kill him too!" Fang Jinzhi saw that everyone seemed to be giving up, and his cheeks bulged with anger. The faint downy hair unique to girls on his face was faintly visible. With his extraordinarily thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, he looked like a Like a kitten that is not easy to mess with, he stares at everyone.
"That dog officer killed cousin Shao Yue'er. If we don't kill him, my cousin's spirit will not rest in peace in heaven."
Si Xingfang explained: "When this dog official was the county magistrate in our area, the woman he forced to death was the daughter of Shenggong's brother-in-law and Jin Zhi's cousin."
"Oh -" Cao Cao said in a manly voice, and then nodded: "Such a bloody feud, even if you are shattered to pieces, you still have to take revenge."
Fang Jinzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and a smile as bright as spring breeze suddenly appeared on his face. He blinked his big and smart eyes, looked at Cao Cao and said: "I can't tell, you are a small man, but you are very courageous!" Suddenly! He raised a white and smooth thumb in front of Cao Cao's nose: "What a man!"
