Cao Cao felt relieved after riding his horse out of Zhongmu County.
"It really scared me to death!" Cao Cao stood on his horse and patted his chest.
"If there is a chance, I must have a good meeting with Mr. Lu."
When they reached a mountain pass, Cao Cao was in trouble.
Because he is lost.
Cao Cao hurriedly escaped from Zhongmu County, fearing that the county magistrate would regret it, so he deliberately chose a road that he did not know. Although it was correct in the general direction, Cao Cao would not take the specific road.
While I was in a hurry, a burst of folk songs floated not far away.
"The green water...the red flowers..."
When Cao Cao heard the sound, he took a look and saw an old man at the mountain pass.
Cao Cao did not dare to be negligent. He quickly dismounted his horse and stepped forward. He raised his hands to the old man and said, "Old man, how do I get to Chenliu on this road?"
The old man glanced at Cao Cao and asked, "May I ask this brother, are you from the imperial court?"
Cao Cao bared his teeth and shook his head in denial.
The old man didn't criticize, and looked at Cao Cao carefully.
"Huh?" The old man seemed to remember something, and he looked at Cao Cao a few more times.
"Cao Aha?"
Cao Cao was startled.
Ah Ma is his nickname. Apart from his parents and uncles, few people know it. How come the old man in front of him knows his nickname?
The old man didn't hide anything and said directly: "Are you Cao Cao, Cao Mengde?"
Cao Cao cursed secretly in his heart and thought: Do I, Cao Cao, have a very popular face? How come I am recognized by everyone wherever I go?
Cao Cao became murderous and put his hand on the handle of the knife.
The old man chuckled: "Mengde, do you remember Lu Boshe back then?"
Cao Cao was stunned, looked carefully at the old man in front of him, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out to be Mr. Lu, I'm really offended, haha..." Cao Cao released his hand on the handle of the knife.
The old man Lu Boxe had been an acquaintance with Cao Cao for many years. In the past, when Cao Cao promoted filial piety and honesty, Lu Boxe became good friends with Cao Cao. However, later, Lu Boxe moved away because he was afraid of the war.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Lü Gong, you and I haven't seen each other for several years. How are you doing?"
Lu Boshe chuckled: "Time is not forgiving, old man, my son is already an adult."
Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Then you must go and see it when you have time."
Lu Boshe said: "Don't have time anymore, don't you have time now?"
Cao Cao hesitated for a while, but decided to follow Lu Boxe and go to his house to have a rest.
Lu Boshe was not in good health, so Cao Cao asked him to ride a horse, but Lu Boshe refused, so Cao Cao had to dismount and accompany Lu Boshe.
Halfway through the journey, a man on horseback suddenly ran out of the mountain.
Cao Cao instinctively drew his sword and stood in front of Lu Boshe.
"who?"
The man was stunned, jumped off his horse, walked to Cao Cao, and knelt down.
"grown ups!"
"Huh?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, "But Lu Yi Dao?"
Lu Boshe stepped forward and asked, "Does Meng De recognize the sword?"
Cao Cao nodded.
Lu Boshe asked Lu Yidao: "Yidao, you know something about Meng De, why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Yidao blushed and said nothing.
Cao Cao said: "Lv Gong, Lu Yi Dao, um, so you are one family?"
Lu Boxe nodded: "Exactly, the knife belongs to my brother. There is a big age difference between us, haha."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Since we are all our own people, that's good, that's good."
A group of people came to Lu Boshe's house. Lu Boshe said that he wanted to go to the county town to exchange for some supplies, so he asked Lu Yidao to entertain Cao Cao.
After Lu Boshe left, Cao Cao asked Lu Yidao: "Yidao, have my two concubines been sent back?"
Lu Yidao replied: "Yes, sir. After Yi Dao sent the two ladies back, he has been worried about you. When he returned to Luoyang, I heard that you had left..."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Are you willing to continue to follow me?"
Lu Yidao knelt on the ground and said, "Yidao is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."
Cao Cao stepped forward to help Lu Yidao up and patted Lu Yidao heavily on the shoulder: "From today on, you will be my personal guard."
"yes!"
...
At this moment, Lu Boshe's door was kicked open with a bang.
Lu Yidao frowned and shouted: "Lu Ming, you are so presumptuous!"
A young man flashed in from the door, looking carefree, with a piece of grass in his mouth.
"Second uncle, why am I so presumptuous?"
Just as Lu Yidao was about to attack, Cao Cao stopped him and said, "May I ask if the young master is Lu Gong's son?"
"Poof!" The young man spat out the grass in his mouth and looked Cao Cao up and down.
"Oh, it's you." Lu Ming remembered. Isn't this the one who ate and paid for gems at the inn in Zhongmou County?
"I'm like, what, who are you?"
Cao Cao did not hide anything, and said: "Your father and I are old friends. My surname is Cao, my given name is Cao, and my given name is Meng..."
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Lu Ming shouted: "So you are Cao Cao!"
Cao Cao was stunned and said: "Exactly!"
Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible cruelty.
"Then I have to call you uncle. Come on, uncle!"
Cao Cao was slightly satisfied and thought that Lu Boxe's son was quite polite.
But all this could not be hidden from Lu Yidao who was beside Cao Cao. From Lu Ming's previous look, Lu Yidao could see the clues.
"Uncle, there are some friends of mine outside the door. Let me introduce them to uncle." Lu Ming said, calling in some of the friends outside the door.
Lu Ming makes friends with whomever he wants, and the friends he makes are naturally the kind of people who don't do their job properly.
But Cao Cao didn't mind, because Cao Cao also looked like this when he was in his twenties. Seeing Lu Ming's appearance, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that time of his own.
After Lu Ming introduced his friend Yiyi to Cao Cao, Cao Cao promised on the spot that if there was a chance, he would go to Chenliu to find him.
The group of people chatted happily. Although Cao Cao was an elder, he had no airs at all and quickly won the favor of several young people.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Ming said to Cao Cao: "Uncle, my friend and I still have something to talk about, so I won't disturb you anymore."
Cao Cao waved his hand: "Go ahead and leave me alone."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he stood up to see him off, but he seemed to have gotten up in a hurry, and one of them lost his balance and fell down.
"Sir" Lu Yidao quickly stepped forward to help Cao Cao.
Cao Cao smiled and refused, got up and said: "I am really tired from sleeping in the open these days. It seems that I have to take a rest. By the way, this knife is all mine. Let me leave it here for you first."
"
As Cao Cao spoke, he took out a cloth bag and accidentally slipped a gem out of the bag.
"Ah oh" several young people were surprised when they saw the gem.
Cao Cao chuckled, reached out to pick up the gem, stuffed it into a cloth bag, and then handed the cloth bag to Lu Yidao.
Lu Yidao took the cloth bag and carefully stuffed it into his arms.
Lu Ming and a few friends winked, got up, and left the room.
Outside the door, several young people gathered together.
Lu Mingdao: "Everyone has seen that Cao Cao has a valuable treasure and is wanted by the court. How about we steal his valuable treasure and horses and kill Cao Cao? What do you think?"
Several young people nodded in agreement.
One of them asked: "But Lu Ming, Cao Cao's important treasure is in your uncle's hands, how can we do it?"
Lu Mingyi gritted his teeth and said: "Let's kill Cao Cao first. Everyone is dead. I don't believe that my uncle won't hand over the treasure. If he is still stubborn, we will..." Lu Ming said
Then he stretched out his hand and made a cutting gesture.
"Hiss" several young people took a breath.
Seeing the hesitation of several people, Lu Ming encouraged: "Everyone, people are dead for money. I think we brothers have always been under the control of our family. If we have this money, we can live well in this troubled world...
..”
Several young people thought for a while and said in unison: "It's done!"
...
Inside the house, Lu Yidao heard clearly what Lu Ming and his friends said.
Lu Yidao's face was livid. He never thought that his nephew would actually want to kill his uncle.
"You traitor," Lu Yidao cursed.
Cao Cao saw that Lu Yidao's expression was abnormal and asked: "Yidao, is there something wrong?"
Lu Yidao shook his head.
Cao Cao smiled softly, lay down on the couch and closed his eyes to rest.
The more Lu Yidao thought about it, the angrier he became. On one side was his nephew, and on the other was the lord he had just sworn allegiance to. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma. Lu Yidao is now in such a situation.
"It's better to go and see the horses first, don't let those guys take advantage of you." Lu Yidao said and walked out of the room.
"Bang" After the door closed gently, Cao Cao opened his eyes and closed them again.
...
Lu Ming and a few of his friends took kitchen knives and sticks from the kitchen and lurked secretly at the door of the room. Lu Ming glanced secretly through the window and found that Cao Cao was sleeping at the moment, so he waved to his friends behind him.
Several people hunched over, gently pushed open the door, stepped into the room, and carefully closed the door.
"Do it!" Lu Ming shouted, picked up the kitchen knife and rushed towards Cao Cao.
Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes, kicked Lu Ming away, and then quickly got up. Cao Cao shouted: "What are you doing?"
Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Lu Mingyi simply stopped hiding it and shouted: "We are here for money, uncle, don't blame me."
Cao Cao didn't even have any shoes on, and his sword was hanging on the wall. No matter how good he was in martial arts, he couldn't deal with several people with bare hands.
Within a few moments, Cao Cao's arm had been scratched by Lu Ming with a kitchen knife.
At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open with a "dong" sound, and Lu Yidao was seen holding a heavy sword in his hand, cursing: "You traitor, you are really plotting against the master's property."
Lu Ming said bitterly: "Uncle, since you also know, you must die too."
The uncle and nephew fought together.
At this time, Lu Yidao felt hatred in his heart. Lu Ming's kung fu was taught by him, and he was better than his master. Although Lu Ming did not do his job properly, he never neglected his kung fu. In one moment, Lu Yidao actually
Slightly disadvantaged.
"There's something wrong." Lu Ming easily took off Cao Cao's sword hanging on the wall, drew out the sword, and stabbed Lu Yidao in the shoulder.
With a "Puff" sound, Lu Yi was struck by the sword.
"Beast!" Lu Yidao was so murderous that he didn't care whether the person in front of him was his nephew.
Lu Yidao followed Cao Cao, defeated the Yellow Turban, and conquered the capital. He had rich practical experience. However, although Lu Ming was powerful, he was inexperienced and did not make many moves. His original advantage was gradually taken away by his uncle.
Seeing that he couldn't defeat his uncle, Lu Mingyi quickly shouted: "Let's go!"
