Seeing that Zhizhou and Zongzhi were both dead, the soldier who was pretending to fight was so frightened that he ran away.
Only Wang Laoba, who was coerced into participating in the deception, stood aside with several of his companions, trembling and not daring to raise their heads. Wang Laoba bravely said: "King Song, you, you said that as long as we deceive the door, we will not open the door. , If you don’t kill us, there will be rewards. I, we don’t dare to ask for rewards, we just want to survive.”
Shi Bao smiled hoarsely and said ferociously: "Hmph, if you ask for your life, will I give you a life? How can there be such a smooth life in the world?"
Wang Laoba's face instantly turned gray, and his hands and feet trembled. Cao Cao sighed and whispered: "Brother Shi Bao, these guys can't help themselves. If a man keeps his word, why should he compromise his own virtue? You just For Wu’s sake, spare them this fate.”
Although Shi Bao had murderous intentions, he did not want to conflict with Cao Cao over this trivial matter. He nodded angrily and said, "You are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, but you cannot be as decisive as our elder brother Fang."
Cao Cao thought to himself that when I killed Yingye, Brother Youfang was still lining up in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. What's so hard about killing someone? It is not easy to spare talents.
He was too lazy to say anything more, clasped his fists, smiled, and said to the old man: "The death of the governor and governor is not a trivial matter. If we investigate, you and others will die or not. I am not lying when I say I reward you. You go The money collected in the control room will be considered as a reward from me to you and others, so you can divide it among several people and go to their own ends of the world."
Wang Laoba and others were overjoyed, firstly, their lives were saved, and secondly, Hu Tongzhi was a general who knew how to exploit and make money, so this fortune would definitely not be small.
A group of people were fighting for me to get into the room. Wang Laoba was walking at the end. Suddenly he turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to Cao Cao, and said with tears: "My lord, you suddenly came out earlier and forced me to wait until I went to the city gate. We were just fighting for a chance of survival, but I didn’t expect the king to be so serious about his promise. We are all cowardless people and dare not follow the king. We only wish the king a long life, happiness and good health."
When several other soldiers saw this, they all knelt down and kowtowed. Cao Cao waved his hands and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. You can go on your own later."
After that, he threw the plump human head in his hand to Shi Bao: "Your lady's harvest."
Shi Bao quickly took the other end and took a look. Sure enough, it was Zhu Xun. He was surprised and said: "Miss, how dare you chop off someone's head? Could you please ask Brother Wu to do it for you?"
"Hmph!" Fang Jinzhi came out in a grand manner and shouted: "This girl is ruthless and ruthless. What is the value of just beheading someone?"
Even so, he turned his face away, not daring to look at the other side.
Deng Yuanjue chuckled and said: "Find some lime and concoct it, wrap it in a leather bag, and the Holy Duke will be happy when we go back! Brother Wu, if I hadn't happened to meet you this time, I don't know when this matter would have been completed. I'll leave it here. There is wine and food, how about we all have a drink?"
Hearing the words "drink a bowl", Li Kui swallowed loudly and spit.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "We will fight for several battles. If the army of officers and soldiers comes back, we will inevitably take risks. Why don't we bring food and wine, find a safe place, and let everyone relax and have a drink."
Si Xingfang said happily: "This is the safest way." He immediately went to pack some wine and meat, and a few people went to the stable behind to get some old horses, found skin bags and lime to put the heads in, and left the military camp in a grand manner.
No one was familiar with the geography of this area, so they returned to the hill where they were hiding before and found a flat place. Si Xingfang picked up some dead branches and leaves, made a small fire, pulled out some unknown herbs, and threw them in it. , not long after, curls of green smoke came out, and the smell was really weird. Si Xingfang smiled and said: "Although it doesn't smell good, it can prevent mosquito infestation."
Cao Cao looked around and saw no mosquitoes or flies. He said happily: "What's better, without the mosquitoes, this night will not be difficult."
Si Xingfang then took out the wine and meat. Although there were no cups, bowls and chopsticks, fortunately everyone was a generous person. They stretched out their hands to pull the meat, held the jar to drink, and talked about some heroic deeds. The jar of wine was only passed around a few times. That's when it ran out.
Shi Bao didn't drink as much as he wanted, and complained that Si Xingfang didn't get more drinks. Si Xingfang yelled, "You didn't help me when I got it, and you didn't help me when I was eating. I only have two hands." Shi Bao stared at him and shouted. : "You didn't ask me, how did you know that I wouldn't help you?"
Cao Cao was afraid that they would quarrel and make noise, so he advised: "I once heard someone say that elegance comes suddenly, poems can drink wine, and when passion goes away, swords are also given to others! We are all warriors. Although elegance may not be all available, lofty sentiments must be There is no shortage, it is rare that tonight there is a clear breeze and bright moon, and it is not too hot, the mountains are quiet, and there are no crowds. We talk about martial arts as wine and chivalry as food. Isn’t it a good story?"
Fang Jinzhi's eyes lit up, and he felt that this short man was heroic yet elegant. Compared with the heroes around his father, he was really different.
Although Deng Yuanjue was a meat-and-potatoes monk, he had some Zen bones after all. Hearing this, he said happily: "Talk about martial arts as wine, and talk about chivalry as food, but this is an interesting thing! In this case, the monk is not talented, so I will pour you a glass of tiger bone wine first!" Why is it called tiger bone wine? Haha, it’s just because my skill is called the Tiger Bone Forging Technique. Although it cannot fight the enemy, it can strengthen the bones. How else can I turn this fifty-pound iron Zen staff?"
After that, he gave some instructions, telling him how to practice his Kung Fu, how to prepare the potion, and all the other tips. You should know that this kind of skill is often a secret among martial artists, but this monk has a bold temperament and really treats his skills as fine wine and shares it with everyone.
Everyone's reaction was the same as after drinking wine. They were all intoxicated. If they didn't understand something, they asked. Deng Yuanjue answered in detail without hiding anything.
It took him more than half an hour to finish teaching the Tiger Bone Forging Technique.
Si Xingfang jumped up and said: "A good glass of tiger bone wine, you can see the taste in your mouth. But I am not as good as the great monk, well, I can only offer you a cup of Shao Knife that is not on the table."
What he was talking about was his own sword technique. According to him, this sword technique is different from other sword techniques in the world, but directly points to the essence of the sword. Once you understand it, it is not a short sword or a long sword, or a waist sword or a simple sword. Everything can be used as expected.
As Si Xingfang spoke, he took a simple knife and made gestures. Everyone felt that they had benefited a lot. After finishing speaking, Shi Bao stood up and said: "Your Shaojiu is spicy but has no aftertaste. It is not a fine wine. I have a pot of even better Shaojiu to teach you how to taste it."
Regardless of Si Xingfang's displeasure, he went straight to talk about his sword skills and boasted: "It's not Shi who is boasting. My sword skills have an extraordinary origin. They were passed down by Huang Zhong, the Five Tigers of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty." Huang Hansheng used this sword technique and was undefeated in a battle with Guan Gong in his old age. He also killed the general Xia Houyuan, so his power is evident!"
Cao Cao thought of Xia Houyuan and felt unhappy, but he couldn't blame Shi Bao. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "His glass of wine, for me, it is a bitter wine that I can only drink alone." While sipping the thought, Feeling the pain, he squinted at Shi Bao's demonstration of sword skills.
When Xia Houyuan was beheaded, Cao Cao raised his troops to avenge him. He sent generals Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Wenpin to surround and kill Huang Zhong, but he was rescued by Zhao Yun.
At that time, Cao Cao was watching the battle on the mountain. He had also seen Huang Zhong's sword skills. Now he looked at Shi Bao's sword skills. Although it was indeed extraordinary, it was only two or three points similar to Huang Zhong's sword skills. He couldn't help but think to himself: How could it be possible in a thousand years? Things are immortal? Even the sword skills passed down from generation to generation have long been changed beyond recognition.
When Shi Bao finished his martial arts lecture, everyone applauded heartily and praised: "If it weren't for such sword skills, how could Huang Zhong have become one of the Five Tigers?"
Shi Bao was proud of himself, but Cao Cao remembered that Huang Zhong was a general of Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, and Han Xuan was an old minister of Liu Biao. After Jingzhou surrendered to him, it stands to reason that Huang Zhong could be considered his subordinate. Unfortunately, Huang Zhong was unknown at that time, otherwise he would have died early. With the enemy in the palm of his hand, Hanzhong may not be defeated by Liu Bei. It can be seen that the more generals, the better - even if you don't use them, it is better than shining in the hands of the enemy.
Thinking about it like this, and looking at Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and other heroes, I couldn't help but feel a little greedy, but I suppressed it immediately, knowing that the heat was not right yet.
At this time, Luan Tingyu stood up and said with a smile: "The wine from your Jiangnan region is indeed mellow in taste. But since you have arrived in the Central Plains, you should also try our wine! Brothers are not talented, so I will pour a bowl of Meteor Wine for everyone!"
Everyone was curious when they heard the name. They saw him take out a fist-sized hammer from his waist, weighed it and said with a smile: "My flying hammer technique also has an origin. Brother Shi Bao's sword technique was passed down to Huang Zhong just now. If my hammer were to go back in time, I would be one of the Five Tigers of Western Sichuan."
Everyone was curious after hearing this. Only Lao Cao had a toothache and seemed to be smacking his lips. The last glass of wine was bitter and hurtful, but this one was spicy and sour.
Sure enough, Luan Tingyu said: "Xiliang Jin Ma Chao had a one-day battle with Zhang Fei from Yan, and there was no winner. Both of them used hidden weapons. Zhang Yide used a bow and arrow, and Ma Mengqi used this flying hammer!"
As he spoke, he explained the method of using his flying hammer one by one. Everyone was complimented by it. Shi Bao was especially interested. He even asked for the hammer to get started. After playing with it for a long time, he asked many details about the secrets. Satisfied, he kept saying: "Brother Luan, this wine is really to my liking!"
Next, Pang Wanchun also got up and talked about his archery skills in detail. It was just a matter of bow and arrow, which was easy to learn and difficult to master. Many people have dabbled in it, but if you want to become a master, it requires extremely high talent, so you just listen to the fun.
Cao Cao also used his own swordsmanship as a pot of ancient wine. His sword was also passed down by famous masters, and it was very different from the swordsmanship in the world today. In the eyes of Deng Yuanjue and others, it was "simple and subtle, different from popular customs." However, the most interesting one was Fang Jinzhi, who also used the sword, and he was enthusiastic with Cao Cao. I asked for many tips on how to use the sword.
There are different teachings: How lucky is the small mountain to meet the heroes? When the remaining fire is extinguished, the moon becomes clearer. A night of passion and a night of wine, the sky is filled with majestic stars.
