"The little thief is just wishful thinking, but I will never..."
Pang De was furious and roared angrily. But halfway through the roar, he swallowed back the rest of his words. Everyone looked at him strangely. Even Pang Ming, who had just woken up, had a strange look on his face.
It's fun to go up there.
"You want to let me go?"
"yes?"
"you……"
"You won't kill me?"
Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, "Ling Ming, if I take advantage of my martial power, like searching a bag to retrieve something, you can't stop me. In this case, why should I kill you? I think you are also a good man. If you kill me, it will be unlucky. And in your heart
If you are definitely not convinced, then when my troops come to Guzang City, we will have a showdown. When the time comes, I will definitely make you surrender."
I want to recruit you, but not for Wuwei County.
I want to fight with force, and no one can stop me... I just admire you, so I have to fight to convince you.
How domineering and arrogant!
Even Pound was speechless. After a while, he lowered his head.
Ma Teng will never have the same spirit as Cao Peng. He is also very domineering, but overall, it feels like the structure is too small.
If these words had come from someone else's mouth, Pound might have become furious.
It’s just like looking down on the world’s heroes...
But when it came from Cao Peng, it made Pang De feel so comfortable. He didn't know why. Maybe it was Cao Peng's frankness and his heroic attitude of looking down on the heroes of the world, which made him respect him immediately.
.
"Xiao Di, untie General Pang."
Without saying a word, Cai Di put away his short stick, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and cut off the rope on Pound's body in one fell swoop.
Pang De hesitated for a moment and said, "Young master, I admire you for your magnanimity. I wonder, could you please give me a way to survive?"
"Let them go together!"
Cao Peng waved his hand, and his soldiers cut the ropes from about a hundred people, including Pang Ming.
"Give General Pang two horses and get my Tiger Roaring Sword."
Someone led the horse, and Wang Shuang stepped forward with a sword.
Cao Peng took the Tiger Roaring Sword, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "As a general, how can you not have a precious sword? A general is a general, and he needs a sword to match. This sword was made by my father, and it is my favorite.
Now I give this sword to the general as a token of friendship between you and me. When we meet on the battlefield in the future, we each have our own masters, and one of us will be merciful. I hope the general will fight bravely and there is no need to worry about it. Xuanwei, already
Take it for me, general, go back to Guzang."
As he spoke, he untied the big red fur cloak he was wearing, took two steps forward, and put it on Pang De.
"Ling Ming, let's go!"
After saying that, Cao Peng turned around and left.
Wang Shuang came with the horse, he pulled the saddle, recognized the stirrup, and got on the horse.
The liger hissed loudly, and the white camel soldiers behind him immediately mounted their camels and followed Cao Peng away at lightning speed.
Cao's troops on both sides of the river also dispersed.
On the huge river beach, in the blink of an eye, only Pang De and others were left, as well as a few lonely war horses, neighing on the river beach.
Pang De shook his head vigorously and finally came to his senses.
"Anping, is he gone?"
"yes!"
"Is there some trick?"
"Brother, now that you and I are like this, I still need to take off my clothes and give them a knife. Isn't it a trick?"
"this……"
Pound, I still feel like I'm in a dream.
He looked down and saw that the big red fur coat and cape on his body was particularly eye-catching in the night. In his hand was the tiger's roaring knife, which was nine feet long and had a dark red edge. It exuded this hazy blood light and was very cold.
, is a precious sword.
The sword is engraved with the inscription: Made in the seventh year of Jian'an, my son crowned it as a gift.
This was a formal ceremony for Cao Peng when he was twenty years old. It was made by Cao Ji, a great craftsman of the generation, and was given as a gift to Cao Peng.
If it were an ordinary weapon, Pound might not be moved at all.
But this tiger roaring knife also adopts the design of a tiger sticking out its tongue. It is extremely sharp and has the unique meaning of the tiger roaring knife itself. It made Pound feel that Cao Peng valued him. For a time, Pound's
My eyes are actually red...
"Brother, let's surrender."
Pang Ming said suddenly.
"Ma Teng and his son regard our brothers as eagles and dogs. Just because of a little suspicion, they exiled us to Longqi City and endured four years of misery. Now that we are being transferred back, the meaning is very clear. He wants to make Ma Teng his heir, so
Let our brother sacrifice his life for his son. Such people are not worthy of our allegiance. It is better to surrender Mr. Cao, at least it will feel comfortable."
Pang Ming did not deliberately conceal what he said.
Pang De's heart moved, and he also had strange thoughts. He found that the more than a hundred Xiliang soldiers seemed to be a little tempted.
"Anping, stop talking nonsense!"
Pang De shivered and suddenly woke up.
He has been taught since childhood to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, with the word "loyalty" ranking first.
Pang De felt ashamed of what he had just done at that moment, and said sternly: "The general promoted me from a poor position because of his kindness to me. If he is disloyal, isn't he worse than a beast? How can Anping talk nonsense and utter treason?
Word."
Pang Ming's expression darkened, he sighed and stopped talking.
"let's go."
"where to?"
"Gu Zang...meet the Third Young Master."
"Then Xuanwei..."
"Cao Peng said that if Xuanwei is lost, it will inevitably be lost. You and I will go back and throw ourselves into a trap. Now I should rush to Guzang to help the third son resist the Cao...thief. What happened today is not allowed to be told to the outside world, so just treat it as a private matter.
Did not happen."
After that, he took off his cloak and wanted to throw away the Tiger Roaring Sword, but after making up his mind for a long time, he finally refused to give it up. How can a general not have a precious sword? It's amazing. I will spare him when I am in front of the battle in the future.
Cao Peng gave his life as a reward.
However, Cao Peng also spared me once...
How long will this kindness be repaid?
Pound closed his eyes and opened them after a while. His eyes fell on the big red cloak on the ground. The cloak was stained with mud and no longer looked as bright as before. Pound walked a few steps and stepped on
He picked up the cloak in front of him and carefully wiped off the stains on it. After hesitating for a moment, he folded the cloak and put it on the horse.
You must be loyal and loyal.
But you have to know what's good... He took off his clothes and gave him a knife out of kindness. What happened if he threw away the clothes?
Thinking of this, Pound felt bitter in his heart.
No matter what, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay this kindness in my lifetime.
"Let's go to Guzang!"

The moonlight is cold and cold.
Han Sui fell into a pile of weeds, looking dying.
He was stabbed three times in the body, and the swords struck his vital parts, which was basically irreparable.
Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying's faces were ashen, while Yan Xing's wife, the daughter of the Han family, hugged Han Sui and cried bitterly.
"Is it really hopeless?"
When Cheng Gongying saw the doctor coming out, his tone was a little solemn.
To put it bluntly, the doctor was just a local doctor living in the countryside. His medical skills were very ordinary. If it was a minor illness or disaster, he could diagnose and treat it. But Han Sui's current situation was not a minor illness or disaster. He was also helpless.
.
In the middle of the night, someone dragged me out of my warm bed.
He didn't expect it to be something like this... He was still a little angry at first, but now, he only felt deep fear.
"Someone is coming!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
The doctor was frightened, and retreated with a plop, hugging Cheng Gongying's thigh, "It's not because I don't try my best, it's really... The master's injury is serious, and it is not something that my medical skills can diagnose. I have tried my best.
Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Cheng Gongying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
"Don't be afraid, sir, I am determined to kill you."
He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "However, given the current situation, I can't just let you go. Let's do this. I'll force you to stay here all night and leave after dawn. I'll keep your life safe. What do you think?
?”
This was because he was afraid that the doctor would inform him.
How could the doctor dare to refuse? He nodded repeatedly and said, "I am willing to obey your Majesty's instructions. I am willing to obey your Majesty's instructions."
"Come here, sir, please go and rest in the cave."
Several soldiers stepped forward and took the doctor away.
Cheng Gongying hesitated for a moment, then slowly climbed up the hill along the gentle slope.
Standing on the hill, you can overlook the land of Jincheng...
In the distance, the Datong River flows eastward, converging with the big river. Yan Xing's tall and straight figure, like an ancient pine, stands on the hill, looking at the distant river, with a solemn expression. He hears the footsteps behind him.
He came, but did not look back. Cheng Gongying walked to Yan Xing and did not speak. He just quietly looked at the river with him.
"Yan Ming, no matter how big the water flow is, it will eventually converge into a big river."
For a long time, Cheng Gongying said something incoherently and then stopped talking.
Yan Xing trembled and his cheeks twitched.
He didn't look back and said softly: "My father-in-law, is it really hopeless?"
"All three swords hit the critical point, so there is no chance of this candidate being spared.
If I hadn't rushed there in time, and the candidates didn't bring too many people, I'm afraid the lord's head would not have been saved. Yan Ming, please forgive me, but it's not because of my lack of dedication... I tried my best, and although I protected my family and escaped, I couldn't save the lord in the end.
life."
Yan Xing's eyes immediately turned red.
He suppressed his grief, smiled, and did not accuse Cheng Gongying.
He really couldn't blame Cheng Gongying. In order to protect Han Sui's family, he didn't even take care of his own family. Three sons died in the battle in Yunwu City, his daughter committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, and his wife committed suicide in the hall. In such a situation,
What else could Yan Xing blame? Why didn't he rush there in time? He was Han Sui's son-in-law. If Yang Qi hadn't tried his best to stop Ma Chao, he would have died in Yunwu. Therefore, when Cheng Gongying asked for forgiveness, he just slapped him hard.
He patted Cheng Gongying on the shoulder.
In my mind, all kinds of things from the past come to mind...
Yan Xing, born in poverty, was originally an orphan in Huangzhong.
He was sentenced to death for accidentally killing Huang Zhongling's fighting dog.
Just when his life was hanging by a thread, Han Sui appeared!
At that time, Han Sui was not the governor of Jincheng County, but a famous scholar in Jincheng who was quite famous in Liangzhou.
Seeing that Yan Xing was pitiful, he begged Huang Zhongling for mercy and paid for his crime, thus saving Yan Xing's life.
That year, Yan Xing was ten years old.
And that year was the first year of Zhongping.
Han Sui adopted Yan Xing and taught him to read, read, write and practice martial arts. Yan Xing was born with supernatural powers and was very smart.
Han Sui once jokingly said at that time: This son will grow up and become a good son-in-law for me.
Everyone thought that Han Sui was just joking. But later, no one thought that Han Sui actually married his daughter to Yan Xing. It can be said that without Han Sui, there would be no Yan Xing. Yan Xing witnessed Han Sui
Every step of the rise.
From the beginning, he was held hostage by Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others to rebel.
Later, Han Sui began to have a foundation... Yan Xing grew up little by little, his martial arts became more and more powerful, and he became more proficient in military affairs and government affairs.
Yan Xing's gratitude to Han Sui came from the bottom of his heart.
Although Han Sui was not his biological father, in his eyes, Han Sui was his father.
now……
Yan Xing clenched his fists, and his nails were buried in his palms, which were dripping with blood. He took a deep breath and said, "Gongying, please take care of this place. I'll go see my father-in-law and see what he has ordered. Then we can make a decision, okay?"
"please!"
Yan Xing turned around and strode down the hill.
Before he entered the cave, he heard his wife crying.
"My father-in-law, are you awake?"
"Husband, daddy..."
When Han's daughter saw Yan Xing, she burst into tears.
Han Sui sighed quietly, "Yan Ming is here?"
"My father-in-law!"
"Daughter, please go out first. I'll talk to Yan Ming about something... My good girl, my father has a saying. You must remember it. In the future, you must abide by the rules of women and listen to your husband. You must not act like you did before, and do whatever you want.
A good girl."
"Daughter, remember your father's teachings."
The Han girl's eyes were red, she knelt down and kowtowed three times to Han Sui.
Yan Xing knew that this was Han Sui's last words. His nose felt sore and he almost cried... But he knew that he couldn't cry! He was the backbone of these people. If he cried, everyone would cry.
Bewildered.
Kneeling down next to Han Sui, Yan Xingyi asked, as he had done when he was a child, "Please give me advice from my father-in-law."
When he was a child, he always said: Please teach me, sir!
Now, the husband has become the father-in-law, but the humiliating feeling has not weakened at all. A smile appeared on Han Sui's pale face. He stretched out his hand and held Yan Xing's palm, "If I hadn't
Cong thief, you and I may still be happy and happy in our hometown now. I can watch you and your good boy loving each other, and my little grandson..."
"My father-in-law, Yan Xing is incompetent."
"Yan Ming, I can't blame you, I can't blame you!"
Han Sui coughed violently, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He whispered: "I have planned a plan in my life, and I was even called the Nine Bends of the Yellow River... I didn't expect that in the end, I was plotted by the reckless man Ma Teng... But
I don’t complain! I plot against others, and others plot against me. It just depends on whose method is more clever.
Now that I have lost you, there is no place for you to stand in Jincheng.
Go with Gong Ying and take your good boy with you... to find someone who can help you build meritorious deeds and achieve success."
"My father-in-law, who should I vote for? Cao Cao?"
"Cao Cao is indeed a wise master, but he is not the best choice for you.
He has a lot of advisers and countless generals... You are talented, but you have no foundation. It is not easy to stand firm. I can find someone for you! Although he is not old, he has a great reputation and is even more valued by Cao Cao.
."
"General Bei Zhonglang?"
Han Sui laughed!
"Yan Ming, the one who can stop Ma Teng from unifying Liangzhou must be Cao Youxue.
Go to him... He will accept you. This person has great talents and is tolerant. If you rely on him, your achievements in the future will be limitless..."
Han Sui's pupils suddenly dilated.
He laughed three times and said, "Ma Shoucheng, let's see how proud you are!"
Having said that, he died of anger.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In March of the ninth year of Jian'an, Han Sui died!
