Chapter 450: It's Really Cool To Be Kind (Three in One)
Chapter 450 Cao Ren is so cool (three-in-one)
Cao Ren coughed up blood from his mouth and fell to the ground, his whole body bowed.
Liu Cheng, holding a blood-stained butcher's knife in his hand, walked step by step to a place five steps in front of him and stopped.
At this time, several personal guards around Liu Cheng also gathered around.
Liu Cheng's personal guards were all carefully selected, and their skills, reactions, and cooperation with each other were extremely fast.
The moment Liu Cheng attacked Cao Ren, they started taking action.
However, Liu Cheng, who had not personally fought for a while, started to fight too quickly.
Before it was their turn to take action, two of the three assassins were dead, and one was seriously injured and lost his combat effectiveness.
Such a result made the four of them feel helpless.
Following the emperor's uncle, it is really difficult to join the battle and gain some fighting opportunities.
Other people's guards are always worried about meeting assassins, but they are not worried about meeting assassins at all.
Because the emperor's uncle protected them so well...
Four guards gathered around and after confirming that several of the assassins were either dead or seriously injured, they immediately separated again and came to a place twenty or thirty steps away from Liu Cheng. They held weapons and moved towards them with vigilance.
He looked around for fear of new attackers appearing.
A sharp whistle sounded in the distance.
This was the first time Liu Cheng took action. One of his guards blew the whistle hanging around his neck in a unique rhythm.
Tell the outside world about the attack on Liu Cheng.
It won't take long for more tiger and leopard mounted guards to arrive.
And some people will block nearby intersections and conduct searches to find out if there are any accomplices of the assassin.
Just from this point of view, we can see how elite the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Guards under Liu Cheng were.
At this time, Liu Cheng came not far in front of Cao Ren, holding a bloody pig-killing knife in his hand. He looked at Cao Ren and said, "Are you Cao Ren?"
Cao Ren fell to the ground, covered in blood, gasping for air.
Liu Cheng's two feet were very forceful, and it was very likely that his internal organs were injured.
In fact, if Cao Ren had not deliberately bumped his body into Liu Cheng's kick for the first time and resisted forcefully, he would not have been able to withstand such a serious injury.
However, it's too late to say anything at this time.
Cao Ren struggled to support the ground with his hands and slowly sat up straight.
Facing the enemy who killed his brother, he didn't want to be too embarrassed, and he didn't want to lie on the ground like a dog with its spine broken.
"You really know me!"
Cao Ren looked at Liu Cheng, enduring the severe pain and discomfort all over his body, looked at Liu Cheng, looked at Liu Cheng, and said this.
Liu Cheng nodded and said, "Cao Ren is so cool. The names of your Cao family and others are too loud. How could I not know about them?"
Cao Ren was stunned again when he heard this. Even at this time, he was still stunned by Liu Cheng who was full of new terms. He was a little uncomfortable with the chatting style of this brother-killer.
Cao was his brother Meng De, Ren was himself, and Zhen was the adopted son of his brother Ah Hao. Who was Shuang? Cao Ren, who was a little dizzy, couldn't remember for a while.
The reputation of my brother Meng De was extremely great, but it was lost in the hands of this man. And I was not a nobody. It was not surprising that this man knew the names of his two brothers.
But how can we know about this child Cao Zhen?
Cao Ren shook his head, getting rid of the brief doubts that appeared in his mind.
Looking at Liu Chengdao: "When did you discover me?"
Liu Chengdao: "I knew it when you pretended to be Zhang Ren."
Cao Ren was stunned again when he heard this.
He felt very proud of how he had pretended to be Zhang Ren and came to Chang'an, and then used Jin Chan's plan to escape from his shell to sneak back to Chang'an and stir up trouble.
I feel like I did it flawlessly.
After Liu Cheng suddenly took action against him, Cao Ren only felt that when he was lurking in Yushan looking for opportunities, he showed some traces and Liu Cheng knew about his actions.
As a result, when Liu Cheng opened his mouth at this moment, he was greatly surprised and shocked!
The other party didn't just discover him recently, but already knew about him after he entered Guanzhong!
"That is to say, cough cough cough... that is to say, you know everything that I will do in Chang'an?"
Cao Ren stared at Liu Cheng and asked, clenching his hands unconsciously.
Liu Cheng nodded: "Yes, I know everything."
Cao Ren was stunned for a moment.
"Why, why? Why didn't you take action before? Why did you wait until now?"
He looked at Liu Cheng, his voice seemed to be murmuring, and his whole person was severely shocked.
Liu Chengdao: "Why should I kill you right away?"
When Cao Ren heard this, his face was full of anger. The other party was teasing him as a mouse!
But this anger soon turned into self-deprecation.
"It's not what you think, it's because something happened to happen to you, so I kept you. At the same time, I also want to see the Cao family's style."
Liu Cheng looked at Cao Ren and said this.
It's now time, and he doesn't mind letting Cao Ren know the truth of some things.
"Isn't it ridiculous? The revenge you thought was hidden is right under your nose. If I hadn't happened to be of some use, I would have been easily wiped out by you..."
Cao Ren was silent for a while, smiling self-deprecatingly, and looked at Liu Cheng to speak.
Liu Cheng shook his head: "No, on the contrary, I admire your courage.
The Cao family is indeed the Cao family.
There are many people who have blood feuds with me, Liu Cheng, and there are many people who want me, Liu Cheng, dead. You, Cao Ren, are the only ones who risked their lives and came to Chang'an to assassinate me.
From this point alone, no one can laugh at you Cao Ren."
After hearing Liu Cheng's words, Cao Ren slowly loosened his clenched fists.
He looked at Liu Cheng with a relaxed smile on his face: "Without my brother Meng De in the Cao family, the rest of us can only work hard to straighten our spines.
If you had not been killed as brother Meng De, my Cao family would be very different now!"
Hearing this, Liu Cheng nodded and said, "I believe what you said."
After saying that, he sighed.
Cao Ren looked at Liu Cheng: "Why are you sighing?"
Liu Chengdao: "I'm sighing, why can't you, Zixiao, be used by me?
Since you have been in Chang'an for such a long time and have been lurking in Yushan for such a long time, you should know a lot about me and the many things I have done.
I thought you might undergo some transformation.
I never thought you would end up taking such a path.
It would be a pity for a talent like you to die..."
Cao Ren grinned when he heard this: "To be honest, I am indeed tempted, but you killed my brother Meng De, which means that I am destined to be unable to be used by you.
You are indeed a character.
If my brother Meng De were alive, he would also make you a confidant, because you have many similar temperaments..."
Hearing this, Liu Cheng sighed and said, "I can understand you coming to assassinate me. After all, I killed Cao Mengde.
However, there are some things I need to make clear to you.
I killed you, Brother Meng De, not specifically for him, but out of self-protection.
Your brother Meng De is broad-minded and magnanimous, but he also has many doubts.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared to kill his benefactor's whole family.
If I hadn't taken action, that whole family would have been killed by him and Chen Gong.
I will also be killed by him.
In addition, I actually think that you, Brother Meng De, are capable of getting things done. If there were no such accidents, I think it is very likely that I would follow you, Brother Meng De, to do things.
Maybe we are sitting together drinking right now."
Cao Ren was stunned again. He really didn't expect Liu Cheng to say this.
He didn't think Liu Cheng was deceiving him.
Because at this moment, the other party really has no need to deceive himself.
"It can only be said that it is fate that plays a trick on people."
Cao Ren was silent for a while, with a wry smile on his face.
After that, he tried his best to support the ground and slowly stood up.
During this process, he almost fell to the ground several times.
However, in the end, he was able to stabilize his body and did not really fall to the ground.
"Let's do it. I heard that you killed my brother with a butcher's knife, so use the butcher's knife to kill me too.
I, Cao Ren, cannot succeed in attacking you, so I should die.
I just hope that the emperor can bury our brothers and me together."
He tried his best to hold out his chest, faced Liu Cheng, and said this.
It seemed very calm.
I am not afraid of death at all, it seems to be a very normal thing.
He was just asking Liu Cheng to bury him and the two men who fell to the ground dead together.
Liu Cheng did not speak immediately, but at this time, more than twenty tiger and leopard mounted guards who had received the news were rushing towards this direction.
In addition to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, people dressed as villagers appeared behind the mountain forest and were also rushing towards this direction.
There are seven of these people, and they are the people who came to Yushan with Cao Ren.
Cao Ren planned to assassinate Liu Cheng. He was worried that the target was too big, so he only acted with two people, while the other seven people hid nearby.
At this point, they can choose to lurk and wait for an opportunity to leave.
Even if they show up, they can run far away, but this time they are all coming towards him.
Seeing this scene, Cao Ren's eyes suddenly became moist.
"Emperor, uncle emperor, can you please, please, please let them go and give them a way to survive..."
Cao Ren, who had just broken ribs and had his chest raised high, was no longer as calm as before.
He knelt down on the ground in pain and looked at Liu Cheng talking like this, full of pleading.
He really didn't want the brothers who followed him to die.
"Brother Zixiao! Why do you bow your head to this thief!
If you die, a true man, you will die!"
"When I set off for Chang'an with Brother Zixiao, I had already made plans not to go back.
It’s not surprising at all to have this result now!”
"Brother Zixiao, we have a life-long friendship. If you die, how can we live alone?!"
"Brother Zixiao can come here and risk his life regardless of his own life in order to avenge his brother. How can I not be able to do such a thing?"
The seven people running towards this direction saw Cao Ren's actions. Although they could not hear what Cao Ren was saying to Liu Cheng, they could guess the reason for his actions at this time.
Immediately, I shouted in this direction.
"You are confused!"
Cao Ren screamed.
It's just that he was too seriously injured before, and even if he screamed with all his strength, the sound he could make was limited.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to reach those people's ears.
Liu Cheng's guards would naturally not let these people attack and join here.
The more than 20 tiger and leopard mounted guards who rushed in after appearing immediately moved towards these people to intercept and surround them.
Further into the forest, there were people riding tigers and leopards, searching inside.
They did not come here randomly because of what happened here.
They believed that their companions could deal with these people.
At the same time, we must also be on guard to see if there are any rebel accomplices hiding in the mountains and forests.
"clank!"
The trembling sound of the bowstring sounded, and the arrows were already shot towards the seven thieves who appeared automatically.
Immediately two people were hit by arrows!
One was killed directly, and the other was shot in the shoulder socket. It was not fatal, but it affected his running speed.
The elite level of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the weapons they hold, their coordination and their numbers are all far superior to those of Cao Ren's men who rushed out.
Under such circumstances, there is no suspense in this kind of battle.
Cao Ren turned to look at the situation there and shed tears.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted his previous actions.
It is true that he did this to avenge his brother Ah Hao.
But it caused these brothers who were friends with each other to die with him!
"I sincerely request the emperor to bury our brothers and me together."
Cao Ren withdrew his gaze, slowly knelt down to Liu Cheng, and kowtowed three times on the ground.
Every time he banged his head on the ground.
His lungs were injured and more than one rib was broken.
The pain of kowtowing to Liu Cheng at this time can be imagined.
But Cao Ren didn't seem to feel it, and he coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood.
"Okay, I promise you."
Liu Cheng looked at Cao Ren, then at the one-sided battle situation over there, nodded and said.
After thanking Liu Cheng, Cao Ren struggled to stand up on the ground.
There was blood flowing down the corners of his mouth.
He turned around from Liu Cheng and walked slowly but firmly towards his subordinate who was stopped two hundred steps away.
At this time, those people were surrounded. Only two of them could stand and fight against the trapped beasts, and the rest were already dead.
These two people also had injuries on their bodies.
"The tigers and leopards dispersed to make way for them to come out."
Liu Cheng, who was watching the situation here, issued an order.
Upon hearing Liu Cheng's order, the tiger and leopard cavalry immediately stopped and made way for them.
They looked at the five dead people and the remaining two people with solemn expressions on their faces.
The battle just now and what these people have shown have gained their respect.
Although they are enemies, they deserve respect.
However, even so, they did not relax their vigilance.
The road was opened, but they moved with the movement of these two people.
Always be prepared for these two people to suddenly become violent and make some harmful moves.
Cao Ren walked towards the two men, and all three of them were covered in blood and injured.
But the two of them walked much faster.
After a while, he came to Cao Ren.
One person held one of Cao Ren's hands.
"Brother Zixiao."
"Brother Zixiao!"
Cao Ren also held their hands firmly, with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes.
"Silly brother, silly brother!"
Cao Ren repeated this.
"Hel me up to my brothers."
Cao Ren said to the two of them, and pointed to the five people who died in the battle.
The two nodded and helped Cao Ren back.
Come to the dead person in the middle.
Cao Ren's breathing was like blowing a bellows.
He couldn't hold on any longer, so he sat next to the man and closed the man's eyes with his hands.
The other two people worked separately and dragged the dead brothers to Cao Ren one by one, including the two who were killed by Liu Cheng at the beginning.
The ten people who entered Yushan together gathered together again.
Cao Ren struggled and closed the eyes of the seven dead people one by one.
During this process, blood continued to flow from his mouth, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
"Maybe... I did something wrong. I dragged you down. You, you could have done otherwise..."
Cao Ren's eyes were distracted and he muttered.
His body swayed, lost support, and fell sideways to the ground.
When the other two saw each other, they looked at each other, then each put their hunting knives across their own necks, and when they pulled hard, blood spurted out.
The hunting knife in their hands fell to the ground, and they fell slowly.
Falling in the place they reserved for themselves, they followed the same path as their brothers...
It seems a little quiet here at the Sishuiguan Field Hospital.
The crowd surrounded the ten people who had turned into corpses, and seemed very silent.
Snowflakes fell again in the sky, and the white snowflakes covered them, bringing some peace.
"Find a place to bury them, bury them together.
Although these people are enemies and are here to assassinate me, they can still be considered good men."
After Liu Cheng stood here and watched for a while, he opened his mouth and said to the tiger and leopard cavalry guards beside him.
The tiger and leopard mounted guards did as they were told.
They found a place that was out of the way and started digging a hole. Then, ten people led by Cao Ren were carried there and buried...
Liu Cheng stood here and witnessed the whole process. Another famous person in history died.
He thought this, shook his head, and walked away step by step.
It would be better for the world to be at peace as soon as possible.
In this case, there won’t be so much fighting and killing...
"Among the offspring of those without eggs, there are so many people with eggs..."
Zhou Cang, who knew what happened, said this with some emotion.
However, it was a sigh of relief that after receiving the news, he wandered around Yushan with weapons.
I want to see if there are any other people with eggs like this.
If so, send them to see Cao Ren and let them have a good exchange of feelings.
He who dares to come and assassinate the emperor's uncle is really brave!
Zhou Cang, who has a dark face and is like a dangerous road god, is particularly irritable inside.
…
In the courtyard where Huang Xu was, Huang Xu was moving constantly, with sweat on his head and face.
But even so, he never stopped.
The action he is doing now was created by Hua Tuo. At this time, Wu Qin Xi has not yet spread and is not famous.
Looking at the slightly bulging belly of the concubine he took in Yizhou, Huang Xu's desire to survive was stronger than ever.
As a son before, he felt deep fatherly love from his father.
He thought that he knew and was very familiar with father's love and his father.
However, when he learned that he was going to be a father and stroked his concubine's slightly bulging belly with his hand, his whole mind changed drastically.
He has more ideas and a deeper understanding of his father and father's love.
In the past, his main purpose in finding a concubine and wanting to have a child was that he was worried that his illness would not be cured and leaving his father alone would be too lonely in the world. He wanted to leave a companion and a spiritual sustenance for his father.
So that my father can live well.
As for him, he can't survive if he can't survive.
He believed that with his father around, his children would not suffer any injustice and would be well taken care of.
But now, when he stroked his concubine's slightly bulging belly with his hand, the feeling of blood connection suddenly made his thoughts change.
He wants to live well not only to prevent his father from being sad, but more importantly, he has also become a father!
He wants to see his child born, wants to see his child grow his first tooth, wants to see his child staggering on his little legs, wants to hear his child cry.
Call yourself grandpa.
I want to accompany my children every moment of their growth.
I want to see my children grow up...
He really doesn't want to die now, because if he dies, all of this will have nothing to do with him.
His child will become a person without a grandpa...
These are not what he wants to see.
It is precisely because of this that Huang Xu has such a strong desire to survive.
After practicing the five-animal show, Huang Xu took a breath and returned to the house. He poured some hot water from the kettle on the stove into the earthenware basin, tested the water temperature, and then scooped some cold water from the side and poured it into the earthenware basin.
, Huang Xu began to wash his face.
After washing and wiping my face, I sat down at the desk to read.
While reading, I coughed.
But he was very focused.
His thinking has changed, his disease has been diagnosed, and once cured, he will be able to live like a normal person.
Then he needs to make more preparations for normal life in the future.
Although my grandfather is strong, I cannot rely on him for everything, and besides, I am about to become a father.
He also wants to be the pride of his children.
The courtyard where Huang Xu lives is a small courtyard with a single family.
There are no servants.
Usually Huang Xu is the only one living here.
After learning that his concubine was pregnant, he immediately separated from his concubine.
It wasn't that he didn't want to live with her and his unborn child, but he was worried that his illness would spread to his concubine and the child in her belly.
Huang Xu's concubine comes to see Huang Xu every day, but at Huang Xu's request, she can only stand a hundred steps away from the courtyard recently and cannot get close to the courtyard.
Huang Xu couldn't help but want to touch the unborn child. He would bathe and change clothes in advance, and put a thick thing on his mouth, which the emperor called a mask, and meet him far away from the courtyard.
See……
Regarding this, Liu Cheng can only say that he feels sorry for the parents in the world...
