Lu Bu and others prostrated themselves on the ground, but Fei Qian didn't look happy.
Fei Qian turned his head slightly and looked at Cao Xing.
Although Cao Xing was lying on the ground and did not raise his head, he seemed to feel Fei Qian's gaze and his body started to tremble a little.
"Captain Cao."
Fei Qian's tone was steady.
Cao Xing trembled, "Sin...the villain is...is..."
"Good shooting skills."
Fei Qian continued to speak calmly, but Cao Xing was so frightened that he kept trembling, as if he had an emergency.
"Little man...little...little..."
Beads of sweat rolled down Cao Xing's forehead, making small dots on the yellow sand, but he didn't know what to say.
You shot the arrow yourself. Should you say that you are really good at archery, or should you deny that you are not good at it? If you say that you are good at archery, doesn't it prove that you really want to shoot Taishi Ci? If you say that you are not good at archery,
So who was the person who was originally intended to be shot randomly?
Fei Qian took out a scroll of silk book from his sleeve, unfolded it, looked up and down a few times, and then said, "After investigation, Colonel Cao was suspected of dereliction of duty in Xihai, but he did not commit any serious crimes... You have taken office."
From now on, if something happens, either through shirk or delay, no action will be taken on the affairs of the Western Regions and the West Sea. Even if they are dealt with, they will only get worse and worse, hence the name Bad Xiaowei..."
Cao Xing trembled, not knowing whether he should respond or not, so he could only bang his head on the ground. Unfortunately, there was mostly gravel and dust in the yellow sand, so the banging of his head on the ground did not make much sound.
See the dust popping up.
Fei Qian closed the book, glanced at Tai Shici, and said, "Captain Cao, you said it was Wei Xu who instigated it, but now Wei Xu has escaped... So, do you have anyone else to testify?"
Cao Xing subconsciously looked at Lu Bu, and then he remembered that Lu Bu was fighting Tai Shici at that time. As a proof, he quickly turned around to look at the guards behind him, only to see that his guards would
It was as if his head had almost shrunk into his crotch, and he didn't pay any attention to Cao Xing.
"In that case." Fei Qian said slowly, "Are you willing to capture Wei Xu and return? If you can take it, it will reduce your guilt."
"I am willing! I am willing!" Cao Xing hurriedly said, then without even looking at Lu Bu, he turned around and jumped up, kicking three or four of his own guards, and then bowed to Fei Qian, then beat him.
The horse followed the traces left by Wei Xu on the ground.
During the exchange between Fei Qian and Cao Xing, Lu Bu knelt on the ground and said nothing from the beginning to the end.
Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu, remained silent for a while, then turned his horse's head and said, "Brother, please get up and go back to the pass first."
……(*￣(工)￣)……
On the other side, Wei Xu panicked and galloped his horse. The horse ran at full speed, causing yellow sand to fly. However, after running for a while, the horse's snoring became heavier, its body temperature rose, sweating all over the body, and more foam at the mouth.
, the huffing and puffing gradually slowed down.
Wei Xu relied on instinct when escaping. Now that he was distracted for a moment, he naturally did not rush the war horse, so the war horse moved forward for a while, starting from running to walking, and then from walking to stopping.
Wei Xu staggered and half fell off his horse.
In his mind, the thought of why this happened was still swirling, and then he was so confused that his hands and feet seemed to be numb, sore and weak, and he just fell to the ground, feeling lost.
How did all this turn into what it is now?
Protector...
Why didn't Protector Dadu protect me?!
Wei Xu's eyebrows stood up, but soon he fell down softly and turned into a horoscope, "It's over, it's over now..."
The Gobi is vast and the yellow sand is endless.
Wei Xu suddenly felt that the people and horses were lonely under the sky, and he felt sad in his heart. He couldn't help but shed tears, "What's my fault? Why? Why is this happening? I...I just...just made the mistake of everyone else in the world."
Everyone makes mistakes..."
It’s a mistake that men all over the world make.
It’s a mistake that women all over the world make.
Mistakes made by children all over the world...
This type of words are just the bastards in the world trying to exonerate themselves.
"The whole world" means that it is not you who is wrong, but the whole world, and everyone is a sinner.
As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. Since it is a mistake that everyone in the world will make, then what is the point of looking for me alone?
I was wrong, are others right?
This person didn’t make a mistake. Could it be that that person didn’t make a mistake either?
Why did you come to me?
Why come to me?
To take a step back, let’s put aside the facts...
There are different approaches but the same effect.
However, when making this excuse that is universal, this person forgot that he is a public figure, or he did not forget, but deliberately confused the relationship between public figures and ordinary people.
Rights and obligations themselves are reciprocal. Is it possible that we need to have the fame and fortune of a public figure, but also have a small private space, and also have the open-mindedness and understanding of others...
Why not go to heaven?
Daydreaming, there is something in the sky.
To a certain extent, this is also a kind of "private use of public power."
As a native of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for Wei Xu to understand such a concept, so he felt that he had nothing wrong. Even if he made a mistake, it would be a mistake made by everyone in the world. How could he just be blamed for it?
If this isn’t a huge injustice or a huge injustice, what is it?
Even in later generations, many people still don't understand, or deliberately don't know. For example, in capitalist countries, there are officials who wear expensive luxury goods and ride in luxury cars, and claim that this is their legitimate income.
It was the company of his lover, family member, and relatives who gave him the use, but he did not understand that in capitalist countries, there are certain regulations for gifting property. It does not mean that if you want to give a luxury house, you can give a luxury house, and if you want to give a luxury car, you can give a luxury car.
, If you want to give a luxury watch, you can give it a luxury watch...
Did Wei Xu really not know that what he was doing was wrong?
Certainly not.
The so-called knowing the law and breaking the law is nothing better than this.
But Wei Xu was unwilling to admit his mistakes. Even when Lu Bu and others knelt down and confessed, he still believed that it was not his fault, or that he should not come to him first before executing other guilty people in the world.
he.
Therefore, Wei Xu ran away.
He ran away subconsciously. After running for a while, he realized that he actually had nowhere to go.
Xihai City?
There is indeed a lot of money in Xihai City, which he has saved with great difficulty, but now he is alone. Even if he goes to Xihai City, what will happen? It is impossible to say that Zhang Liao is waiting for him, and then Kacha...
Wei Xu suddenly shivered and couldn't help but leak a little urine.
what to do?
While Wei Xu was holding his head and worrying, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He quickly stood up and looked around, only to see vaguely some people who seemed to be heading here!
Wei Xu screamed for a while, then rolled and crawled towards his mount, wanting to get on the horse and escape immediately. However, his horse had just been whining for a long time, and it was almost dead from exhaustion. He originally thought that after Wei Xu came down,
I would give it some slack, feed it a couple of sips of water, eat some fried jelly beans or something, but after waiting for a long time, I only saw Wei Xu himself. Didi Gugu didn’t know what to do, so he had no choice but to step aside and do it himself.
We went to find some food and drink, so we walked a little further without realizing it.
Now in a hurry, Wei Xu stepped on something and hit the ground with a squeak. He didn't know where his face was scratched, and suddenly there was loess and red blood.
Wei Xu didn't feel any pain, or he couldn't care less about the pain in his nervous mood. He kicked a few times, staggered and rushed to the side of the horse. He grabbed the reins and was about to get on the horse when he heard
The people coming from behind shouted, "General Wei! General Wei! It's okay, it's okay..."
"Ah? Ha?!" Wei Xu was stunned.
If someone shouted something about don't leave or don't run away, Wei Xu would immediately slap his horse and run away, but he shouted "It's okay", which made Wei Xu's heart skip a beat, and then he grabbed the reins and stepped on it.
Stirrups, turning around to look...
meaning?
It seems to be Cao Xing?
Cao Xing's doudou was specially made by himself, with some special decorations on it. It just faced the sunset and shone brightly in the sun, making it easy to identify.
Wei Xu thought for a while, got on his horse, then grabbed the reins with one hand and the handle of the knife with the other, with a serious look on his face, pulling at the nasolabial folds, raising his eyebrows and shouting, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Xu made up his mind to flee immediately if anything went wrong.
Cao Xing waved his hands and shouted, "It's okay! It's okay! It's all okay!"
Wei Xu really heard it clearly this time, his heart couldn't help but jump up and down, and there was a look of surprise on his face, "What's okay? You mean me, no, no, we're all okay?"
In his joy, Wei Xu didn't even spare a little more brain power to consider whether Cao Xing's "nothing" was possible...
Just like a drowning person, even if he catches a straw, he will subconsciously hold it tightly in his hand without thinking about whether this straw can help him or whether he should look for other things.
, instead of clutching at straws.
Cao Xing secretly signaled, asking his guards to surround him on the left and right, while he opened his eyes and shouted: "It's really okay! The hussar has forgiven everyone! The general protects everyone!"
"Really?!" Wei Xu suddenly beamed with joy and laughed a few times. He suddenly felt like he had been reborn, but the next moment he saw several Cao Xing guards surrounding him on both sides, "You! You
What is this for?!』
Wei Xu felt something was wrong and immediately rushed his horse to escape. His actions also aroused the reaction of Cao Xing's guards.
"catch him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Cao Xing's guard shouted one after another, immediately letting Wei Xu understand that what Cao Xing said before was all lies...
"Shu Zi!" Wei Xu turned his horse around in panic and ran away, while shouting angrily, "You raised him! How dare you bully someone!"
Cao Xing took a sip of Fengsha, and the smile on his face turned into a smile, "Catch him!"
Fuck Ren Niang!
You are allowed to lie to me, but I am not allowed to lie to you?!
Cao Xing asked his guards to rush forward, took out a bow and arrow, and pointed it at Wei Xu.
Wei Xu caught sight of Cao Xing's move, and immediately screamed inwardly. He didn't care to continue scolding Cao Xing, and tried his best to rock left and right on the horse, trying his best to make it difficult for Cao Xing to aim...
"grass!"
Seeing that it was difficult to aim at Wei Xu's body, Cao Xing was furious and immediately lowered his bow and arrow. Since it was difficult to hit a person, he would shoot a horse!
The arrow whizzed out, and immediately pierced the butt of Wei Xu's horse with a pop!
Wei Xu's war horse screamed, and all its potential suddenly exploded. It suddenly increased its speed, deviated from the road, rushed out of the siege of Cao Xing and others, and fled into the Gobi Desert!
Damn it!
Cao Xing yelled at the guard who looked at him blankly, "What a fool! Go after him! If we can't hold him, we will all die! We will all die! Follow the blood on the ground! Go after him! His horse is injured,
Run soon!』
Cao Xing's guards suddenly woke up, shouted and chased along the blood trail. They did not dare to run too fast because their horses were also very tired. If they ran at full strength with Wei Xu's horses,
Even if they could catch up, their horses would be useless, and they might all die in the Gobi Desert...
Night gradually falls.
The Gobi Desert, which originally seemed to be looking at everything in the world indifferently, gradually revealed its fangs in the night.
The howls of the wolves made Wei Xu's somewhat hazy mind clear up.
In panic, the war horse ran wildly, so that even Wei Xu didn't know where he was now. He just knew that he was in the Gobi. He thought that although he was a little more awake now, he had to survive in the dark night without any signs.
He didn't dare to rush on, because it wasn't a question of courage, but a question of death.
But the problem is that Wei Xu didn't want to seek death, but death started to seek him.
After nightfall, the wolves smelled the smell of blood and followed the prints...
Wei Xu felt something was wrong and was about to mount his horse and run again, but the war horse's ears were more sensitive and alert than his. When he saw a pack of wolves coming, he instinctively ran away!
On the one hand, there is no place to tie up a war horse in the Gobi Desert, but on the other hand...
If Wei Xu had taken more care of the war horses on weekdays and personally helped the horses with grooming, feeding, etc., the emotional connection between the war horses and Wei Xu would have been closer, and Wei Xu might not have been abandoned in danger. But the problem is that Wei Xu
When Xu was in Xihai City in the Western Regions, he only wanted to fight for power and gain dominance, so why did he have the leisure to take care of his war horses?
To the war horse, Wei Xu was not a master, let alone a partner. He was just a guy who desperately wanted to ride on his back.
Therefore, the war horse left Wei Xu without hesitation and ran away!
Wei Xu was directly thrown on the spot!
Among the wolves, only a small part chased the horses, while most of them surrounded them.
After all, the instinct of a wolf is that the one with two legs looks fatter, tenderer, oilier and easier to bully...
Wei Xu drew the sword in his hand, roared tremblingly, and then waved the sword to embolden himself.
The wolves were not afraid at all. They slowly surrounded them with bared teeth and their green eyes twinkling in the night.
The wolf on the left made a false move forward, and Wei Xu shook his head and turned to the left.
The wolf on the right took the opportunity to take another two steps forward, and Wei Xu quickly turned to the right again.
The wolf behind found an opportunity and jumped directly onto Wei Xu's back, snarling and biting down!
The wolf's teeth bit on the iron plates of the hood and neck guard, making a rattling sound but failing to bite through.
Wei Xu was frightened, and because of the wolf's heavy body, he was suddenly a little unsteady on his feet. He was about to reach back and kill the wolf behind him, but he saw the wolves on the left and right also pounced on him in no particular order!
Wei Xu slashed with his sword!
One wolf was hit, whining and falling to the side, but more wolves rushed up, biting hands, feet, waist, eggs...
Wei Xu barely managed to hold on for only one round before being thrown to the ground by the wolves.
Although he was wearing armor, it was not a full-body covering after all. Soon the wild wolves found the place where they had their mouths. With a squeaking sound, Wei Xu screamed a few times and then stopped.
In the distance, Cao Xing and the others had more people, so they found a more suitable shelter in the Gobi Desert and collected some wood and dead grass. Naturally, they were better off than Wei Xu alone.
The bonfire is located at the angle formed by two natural stone walls. With the people and horses blocking it and the blanket covering it, it prevents the wind from blowing in and prevents it from being exposed to the outside.
The night wind gradually picked up, scraping the stones as it passed by, and the fine sand it carried seemed to be rubbing against the stones, making a tooth-aching sound.
Suddenly, Cao Xing straightened up and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
The wind howled, mixed with a few wolf howls.
"That's the sound of a wolf..." one of the guards said.
Cao Xing listened for a while, "It seems like someone is shouting...could it be..."
When everyone reacted, their expressions changed.
After a moment, one of the guards sighed, "General, there's nothing you can do about that... If you go outside now, you're courting death..."
"That's right, let's talk about it after dawn!" Another guard said.
The other guards nodded one after another and strongly recommended that we take action at dawn.
Cao Xing pricked up his ears and listened. The wind became quiet again. Apart from the whistling and rubbing sounds, there seemed to be no sound of howling wolves...
"That's fine." Cao Xing leaned against the stone wall helplessly, "Let's talk about it in the morning."
Its daybreak.
Cao Xing didn't want to eat any breakfast. He just drank a few sips of water from the water bag he carried, packed up a little, and then led the people in the direction of the sound he heard last night.
Several people spread out and searched slowly.
The sun rises lazily, bringing a little more warmth to the bleak Gobi desert in autumn.
After walking for a while, a guard whistled and pointed out the scene of the incident.
A mess on the ground and broken armor.
"This..." Cao Xing jumped off his horse and identified the fragments of armor.
"There is a knife here!" A guard found another item.
Wolves don't eat iron, and they don't see any value in these artifacts.
"General..." the guard said vaguely, "it seems..."
No complete piece of flesh and blood could be found at the scene, only fragments of bones remained.
The bloody bones attracted many ants, who were excitedly climbing and carrying them among the sand and gravel.
I believe that if two days pass, these scattered bones will become as clean and as white as jade.
Cao Xing stood and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Pack it up if you can, pack it up... Bury the bones on the spot, and take the armor and sword back..."
