A soft voice came into Cao Peng's ears, and the voice was slightly high-pitched.
Cao Peng was startled, but he still swung the tiger's roaring knife fiercely. He grabbed the opponent's arm with one hand, and the tiger's roaring knife fell in a diagonal direction. If according to normal people's ideas, this knife is a sure shot, the white clothes in front of him
No matter how powerful the assassin was, he couldn't escape this swift blow. Unexpectedly, at the moment when the tiger's roaring knife fell, Cao Peng suddenly felt the opponent's arm, like a boneless snake, slipping out of his hand.
Immediately, the assassin suddenly stepped out of the way, with his palm in the shape of a snake, and pecked hard on Cao Peng's wrist. As if being bitten by a poisonous snake, a numb feeling quickly spread along the wrist and up the arm.
not good!
Cao Peng screamed inwardly, but the sword in his hand came out uncontrollably.
The assassin followed up wrongly, using his snake-like hands in a series of attacks. He heard a series of bang-bang-bang sounds, and struck Cao Peng's chest and abdomen accurately and fiercely.
Every blow seemed to be very gentle.
However, it produced huge force and beat Cao Peng back again and again, and even vomited blood.
His body fell backwards due to inertia. But the moment Cao Peng fell, he suddenly raised his feet and kicked upwards from a very small space. The assassin did not expect that Cao Peng would still be able to survive in such a situation.
He was able to fight back, but was unable to dodge. Cao Peng kicked him in the chin, causing him to fall out. The two of them fell to the ground almost at the same time. Cao Peng was beaten to the point where he almost lost his breath, and the assassin was also hit by his kick.
The kick caused his jaw to split open and drip with blood. More importantly, Cao Peng's kick was extremely powerful. The assassin's ability to withstand blows was good, but he was also kicked for a while and felt dizzy... The hat was turned aside, revealing a gray-white head.
s hair……
It can be seen that he is about forty years old, with a bald chin and no beard.
Eunuch?
Thinking of his soft voice before, Cao Peng's heart moved.
His whole body seemed to be falling apart, and one of his arms had no feeling at all...
The assassin shook his head vigorously and finally came to his senses.
With a fierce look on his face, he turned over, stood up and walked towards Cao Peng.
The wound on his chin was open like a baby's mouth. Blood fell on his chest, dyeing it red.
A flash of light flashed out of the corner of Cao Peng's eye.
He turned around and saw the sword used by the assassin earlier, not far from him.
Seeing the assassin rushing toward him, Cao Peng gritted his teeth and rolled like a lazy donkey. While his body was rolling, he easily grabbed the sword in his hand.
It was too late, but soon the assassin had arrived in front of Cao Peng.
Cao Peng happened to turn over on his back, raised his sword at an angle, and poof... sank into the assassin's thigh.
The assassin screamed in pain, but Cao Peng took the opportunity to draw his sword and rolled aside. He stood up, knelt on one knee, and stared at the assassin with wide eyes.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps came.
"Stop leaving the assassin!"
Someone was shouting.
A group of cavalry appeared from the end of the long street and galloped towards the arch.
Ti, which is orange-red, also belongs to Zhijinwu.
I have 200 Tiqi and 520 halberds under my command.
Although the power of Zhijinwu has been greatly weakened, the Tiqi and the Halberds are still retained... However, due to the Battle of Guandu, the Halberds stayed in Xudu, but the Tiqi was taken away. Now they serve as the Tiqi.
Those are none other than the two hundred flying men under Cao Peng.
In charge of Jin Wucheng was Cao Ji, who temporarily led Xudu to patrol.
Cao Peng's Fei Qi withdrew from the Yueqi camp and had nothing to do, so he was recruited by Cao Ji to inspect the market.
The Tiqi who leads the team today is none other than Hao Zhao.
Seeing Cao Peng lying in a pool of blood covered in blood from a distance, Hao Zhao suddenly felt anxious.
He picked up his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at the assassin. Seeing this situation, the assassin knew that it was not very likely that he would kill Cao Peng again.
Not to mention that Cao Peng still has the ability to resist, even if Cao Peng is killed, he will still fall into a tight siege.
It's a small thing if you die, but if you are exposed...
The assassin sneered and said: "Mr. Cao, you are very lucky today. I hope you can have such good luck every day in the future."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Although his legs were injured, he ran very slowly and disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye.
Cao Peng relaxed and lay down on the ground, with his limbs spread out. It was only then that he felt pain all over his body, and he kept sucking in cold air. Who is this guy? Why is he so powerful? If he is alone
In terms of martial arts, there is only one person who can compare with Cao Peng in his four years of rebirth, and that is the cheap senior brother who taught him the seven changes of martial arts before, Ge Xuan and Ge Xiaoxian...
However, Ge Xuan's kung fu is not so weird, it is honest and upright.
And this dead eunuch's kung fu was obviously specially used for assassination, it was weird and feminine... Judging from the way he had just used it, it was biased toward snake-like boxing. Cao Peng couldn't help but secretly blame himself: I was careless! I thought I had mastered kung fu.
, but became careless!
"Master, Master!"
Hao Zhao jumped off his horse next to Cao Peng and stepped forward to help Cao Peng.
"Don't touch me!"
Cao Peng suddenly said: "Send someone immediately to invite Mr. Hua and Mr. Dong."
He really didn't dare to let Hao Zhao and the others move around. He knew the extent of his injuries.
The assassin's nine snake-shaped blows just now may have injured the internal organs. Moreover, his moves were more feminine, somewhat similar to the techniques of later generations of Nei Jiaquan, so his body probably couldn't bear the torment.
"Find a stretcher and carry me back."
Hao Zhao quickly agreed.
Fortunately, we are not far from the Huichun Hall, and there are ready-made stretchers there.
After a while, two Tiqimen came over carrying a stretcher and carefully placed Cao Peng on the stretcher.
At this time, Tiqi, who went to track the assassin, came back and said with a look of shame on his face: "Young Master, the assassin ran away..."
"Ran?"
Hao Zhao was furious and was about to scold him, but was stopped by Cao Peng.
"He just ran away. With that guy's skill, even if he caught up, he would probably have to pay a lot of losses. It's not worth it... He came after me. As long as I don't die, he will definitely show up again. This account
, let’s keep it in mind and slowly sort it out later.”
Only then did Hao Zhao let those Tiqi go!

"Afu was stabbed on Jianyangmen Street?"
Xun Yu was handling official duties. When he heard the news, he was shocked.
"Is your life in danger?"
"Probably not...it is said that before Mr. Cao was carried back, he even gave instructions to Tiqi. He looked very sober."
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"No!"
When Xun Yu heard this, he couldn't help but think deeply.
After a while, he asked again: "Can we notify the Tai Hospital?"
"Both Shaofu's Imperial Physician Hua and Tai Chang Dong have passed away...but there is no news yet. The Cao Mansion has dispatched three hundred guards from the farm to guard the palace, and inspections of entry and exit are extremely strict. Moreover, General Wei has ordered the streets to be cleaned and the entire city
Martial law, all nine gates have been closed."
Xun Yu smiled bitterly: Zixiao is afraid he will go crazy this time!
As soon as Cao Peng came out of prison, this happened.
Although this is not within his jurisdiction, if he is investigated, he may not be able to escape questioning.
"You go down."
"Here!"
Xun Yu closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, he suddenly said: "Xun Meng."
"The villain is here."
"Take my name and go to Linyi Marquis Mansion and tell him...Cao Youxue Changjie was assassinated."
Xun Meng was startled, "Sir, just this sentence? Although the Marquis of Linyi is staying behind closed doors now, I'm afraid he also got the news..."
A cold glint flashed in Xun Yu's eyes, "As long as you tell him, he will know."
Xun Meng was confused, but he still followed the order and left.
Xun Yu patted his forehead and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Mr. Hua, how is Ah Fu doing?"
When Hua Tuo walked out of the bedroom, Cao Ji went to greet him.
Speaking of which, Hua Tuo and the Cao Mansion were really destined. In half a year, he went to the Cao Mansion twice to save people. So there was no courtesy between Cao Ji and him.
"The young master's flesh and skin injuries are not serious, but his internal organs...
The opponent's skills are extremely strong, which means that the young master has a good physique and strong internal organs. However, I am afraid that he will not be healthy in a short period of time."
Dong Xiao also said: "I have already prescribed the prescription, but the young master has an internal injury and needs to be nursed back to health."
"That……"
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, your life is not in danger."
Cao Ji then breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved.
He was stunned when he heard the news while working in the government office.
Ah Fu was really unlucky. He was in poor health when he was a child and almost lost his life. Four years ago, he got better, but suffered many disasters. First, he offended Huang She and was forced to leave his hometown; then he was ups and downs in the officialdom.
When it rises and falls twice, it can be said that fate plays a trick on people.
now……
Cao Ji was not so worried when Cao Nan was injured before.
Now that he heard that Cao Peng was fine, he felt relieved.
Mrs. Zhang cried so much that she fainted twice. When she woke up, she even cursed: "Which bastard who can kill a thousand swords is so vicious and wants to kill my son?"
For Ms. Zhang, her daughter has her own destiny after she gets married.
Her son was everything to her. If something happened to her, how could she survive?
After half a year of recuperation, Cao Nan can already walk on the ground. Although her legs are still a little inconvenient, it is no longer a serious problem. She and Huang Yueying supported Zhang and kept comforting. Deng Ai even hugged Zhang's legs and kept comforting her.
Shouting finally made Ms. Zhang stop her sorrow.
Everyone walked into the bedroom and saw Cao Peng lying on the bed with a pale face, looking very haggard.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help it and cried again!
"Cry, cry, you know how to cry... Ah Fu just happened, how do you look like crying? All his luck has been wiped out by you crying!"
Cao Ji couldn't help it and shouted angrily.
Mrs. Zhang then stopped crying and said angrily: "Why are you angry at me? Ah Fu has suffered so much, and he has the ability to find the murderer and avenge Ah Fu. You still have to hold on to King Wu."
Cheng, if you become this official, Ah Fu will suffer the consequences."
"Father, mother... please stop arguing!"
Cao Peng coughed violently, and with Guo Huanbuluan's support, he half-leaned on them and spoke with a wry smile.
Only then did Cao Ji and Zhang stop.
After greeting him for a long time, he saw that Cao Peng was not in good spirits, so he left the bedroom.
Huang Yueying stepped forward and held Cao Peng's hand, "Ah Fu, who did this?"
"Ahem...I don't know."
In fact, Cao Peng had already guessed something in his mind.
With a fair face and no beard, the eunuch... it must have been done by someone in the palace. And before, he made a big fuss in the general's palace of the auxiliary country and cut off Fu Wan's palm.
The answer is ready to come out.
But Cao Peng decided to hide it.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late.
Now that Fu Wan has just been dismissed from his official position, it is impossible to move him again.
Cao Peng had no evidence, so naturally he couldn't correct him. Even if he corrected him, what would be the use? Since the assassin was a eunuch, he must have been appointed by the palace. Otherwise, even if he was buried, he might not be able to command. Involved
In the palace, simple things can become complicated and troublesome. After thinking twice, Cao Peng decided to endure it temporarily and wait for the right time before taking revenge.
Moreover, his internal organs were injured by the opponent, and he could not recover all at once.
This guy... has such strong tactics.
The door curtain opened and Hua Tuo walked in from the outside.
He looked at Cao Peng, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Master, your injury this time is not serious. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover with medicine alone.
Over the years, Tuo traveled all over the country and visited deep mountains and jungles.
From the activities of birds and beasts, I learned a set of techniques for strengthening the body, called Five-Animal Kung Fu. I saw that the young master had performed kung fu before, and it seemed that he had similar skills. Therefore, I took the liberty of teaching it to you. I wonder if you are willing to learn it?"
Five-animal skill?
Cao Peng was startled and then realized that this Five-Animal Skill was not the Hua Tuo Five-Animal Opera that was passed down in later generations.
However, due to the death of Hua Tuo, Wu Qin Xi was not completely circulated. The Wu Qin Xi of later generations was more of a health-preserving medicine and was incomplete.
Cao Peng pretended not to know: "May I ask which five birds?"
“The bear pose can strengthen the spleen and stomach and increase physical strength; the crane pose can strengthen breathing, regulate qi and blood, and unblock the meridians; the tiger pose can replenish the essence and marrow, and strengthen the waist and kidneys; the deer pose can stretch the muscles and bones; and the ape pose can make the limbs flexible.
I have been in the mountains and forests all year round and have visited many Taoist people. Later, from their Taoist practices, I learned various methods of regulating the breath and moving the exercises, which can produce wonderful effects when combined with the Five Animals Technique."
Cao Peng was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Please sir, teach me."
"Young master, you can recuperate for a month first. After one month, when your body has recovered a little, I will teach you."
"That's it, thank you very much!"
After Huang Yueying sent Hua Tuo away, she returned to the house.
She said softly: "Mrs. Sikong Fuhuan just sent a lot of valuable medicines and two 300-year-old ginseng. Why?"
Cao Peng leaned on the bed and whispered: "I went to Dian Mansion today because I was actually recruited by Mrs. Huan.
She wanted me to teach the Fifth Young Master Cang Shu, and I agreed... She must have heard that I was injured, so she sent someone over to offer condolences, and there was no other intention."
"Professor Fifth Young Master?"
Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and immediately figured out the mystery.
"Afu, you mean..."
Cao Peng took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "There are some things that are beyond your control.
This kind of thing will happen sooner or later. Since we have to make a decision sooner or later, we can get a head start by making a decision earlier... By the way, there is one more thing. You can talk to Mr. Dong later and ask him to come to Sikong tomorrow.
Let’s make a diagnosis for the Fifth Young Master.”
"What's wrong with the Fifth Young Master?"
"It's nothing. Just make more preparations and you will have more confidence... Children are young, and sometimes they may not get sick immediately when they get sick. By the way, let Xiao Ai have a check-up. It's best if everything is fine. If there is anything wrong,
Well, you can find out early that it’s not.”
Huang Yueying thought for a while, agreed, and nodded in agreement.
