Cao Cao was an extremely conceited person. After hearing Chen Cheng's crooked poem, he did not talk about the meter first, but asked: "Who can actually compete with me, Cao Mengde?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "It's a brother I met last year. His surname is Liu, his given name is Bei, and his courtesy name is Xuande."
"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande," Cao Cao muttered for a moment, but after thinking about it, he had no impression of the person, so he simply stopped thinking about it and asked, "Since it is the country's surname, does it mean it must not be a member of the Han family?"
"He was the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing and studied under Lu Zhi."
"What deeds did Liu Xuande have that makes him a hero?"
Chen Cheng said: "Brother Xuande once recruited local braves and participated in putting down the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
Cao Cao said disapprovingly: "I have also led troops to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits. Although they are many in number, they are actually vulnerable to a single blow."
Chen Cheng smiled and added: "Afterwards, my brother followed Gongsun Bogui and fought fiercely with Zhang Ju's rebels at Shimen. He made many military exploits and was granted the title of Pingyuan Order."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "This is somewhat reasonable. It is our duty to clean up the remaining thieves for the country. But if it is just like this, it cannot be regarded as a hero. Where is Liu Xuande now?"
Chen Cheng added: "Because the governor asked for bribes, my brother was short of money and could not bear to exploit the people, so he tied up the governor and whipped him. Now he has abandoned his position as county magistrate and returned to the command of General Gongsun Zhonglang.
went."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said: "Okay, okay, good Liu Xuande, good fight!"
After laughing for a while, he shook his head and said proudly: "But after all, he is still not as good as me, Cao Cao. If I change places with him, I will simply kill the governor and get rid of the bad breath in my chest first!"
Chen Cheng thought to himself: Can you be the same? You are Cao Song's son, and Liu Bei's family does not have such a strong backer.
Cao Cao asked: "Is it possible that Zhijinwu came to visit just to see if I, Cao Mengde, am a hero in the world? These things are just incidental?"
He patted the bamboo slips stacked on the desk in front of him and said, "But since you gave it to me, I won't return it."
Chen Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there is something else."
"Please say."
"But these words can only come out of my mouth and into your ears. They are not suitable for outsiders."
Cao Cao's expression changed again. He took a look at Chen Cheng's burly physique and thought to himself: Could this man be here to take my life?
But this makes no sense. Although Cao Cao is conceited, he does not think that he is worthy of Zhi Jinwu personally coming to assassinate him now. He quickly calculated in his mind and decided to take a risk, so he raised his head and said with a smile: "Since
If so, then please come in and discuss it in detail.”
The two of them walked to the inner room and sat down. Cao Cao said: "There are only two of us here now. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly."
Chen Cheng originally prepared a lot of rhetoric, but at this time, he didn't know where to start. He pondered for a moment and said, "What does Meng De think the world is like today?"
Cao Cao said without hesitation: "The situation is overwhelming."
"Is there any way to rescue me?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Of course there is."
Chen Cheng asked: "What should be done to stabilize the world?"
Cao Cao looked at Chen Cheng playfully and said, "I, Cao Mengde, shouldn't say this, right? If you want to ask, you should ask the general, the Situ, or the Taiwei."
"What would happen if Meng De was in charge?"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "What would happen if Jin Wu were to rule?"
Chen Cheng frowned and said, "I asked first."
"Haha, I'll say it first." Cao Cao said with a smile: "The world is in ruins, all because of eunuchs, relatives, and local powerful and lawless people. If we want to rectify our roots, we need to restore the old system of the Han family."
He asked rhetorically: "Does Zhijin Wu agree with this answer?"
"Yes, eunuchs, relatives, and powerful families are the origin of all disasters." Chen Cheng did not point out the biggest key and continued to ask: "But what does the old system of the Han family refer to?"
Over the past few days, he has seen clearly that powerful families have big problems, but the emperor behind the eunuchs and relatives is the one who really needs to bear the greatest responsibility. Today, the emperor still has the supreme power, as long as he
When he spoke, everyone could only bow their heads and tie their necks.
"Zhi Jinwu asked too many questions," Cao Cao said, unwilling to let Chen Cheng take the initiative all the time, "I like the gifts sent today very much, but Zhi Jinwu doesn't think it's inappropriate for us to talk about these now?"
Chen Cheng said: "It's me, Meng Lang, who has a simple relationship but a deep relationship."
His expression gradually became serious, and he said: "The world is about to be in chaos, the country is about to fall apart, and the powerful eunuchs will die, but what will happen to the people? I just want the troubled times to be settled as soon as possible, so that fewer people will die in the world.
It is for this reason that I came to visit Mengde."
Cao Cao was surprised and said: "Could it be that Zhi Jinwu thought I was the one who could bring order to chaos?"
"Exactly!"
"Haha," Cao Cao laughed and said, "I didn't expect Wen Zheng to know me so well!"
At this time, he no longer mentioned Chen Cheng's official position, but called him "Wen Zheng".
"To be honest with Meng De, I am an impulsive and irritable person. When I get the upper hand, I do things regardless of the consequences. I can only fill in the gaps, but I cannot take on big responsibilities alone. There are many heroes in today's world, but when it comes to vision, ability, and bearing, I
I think no one can be better than Meng De. If Meng De is interested, I will be a pioneer for the public."
Cao Cao: ".........."
You said I was just reading a book at home, why did someone suddenly come to my door and ask for refuge? Do I believe it or not?
He stared at Chen Cheng for a while, and then suddenly said: "Now the eunuchs and the generals are in a tense situation, fighting each other. If the two sides fight, life will be stained. For the sake of the world and the common people, it is better to kill first.
Once Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are gone, no matter how hard it is for others to compete with the general, they might be able to eliminate a disaster! I have a precious sword at home, called Seven Stars, which is extremely sharp. I would like to give it to you!"
"What Meng De means is for me to assassinate those two people?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "Is it enough to kill Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong?"
Cao Cao said seriously: "These two are the leaders of the eunuchs and have the most trust from the emperor. As long as these two people die, I can take care of the rest!"
Chen Cheng stared at Cao Cao for a long time, and the latter looked at him calmly.
"Where is the knife?"
Cao Cao stood up and said, "Please follow me."
He went out of the inner room, called his servant, and took the "Seven Stars" sword. After the servant pushed it down, Cao Cao took out the sword and handed it to Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng took it, and with a heavy hand, it was a long sword.
The straight-edged knife, which is more than one meter long, is similar in shape to the ring-shou knife, but is longer and heavier.
He stretched out his hand and stroked the blade gently. The knife was a good knife, but...
He cupped his fists towards Cao Cao and said, "I would like to thank Duke Cao for his kindness."
After leading the horse out, Chen Cheng said to himself: I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!
How could it make sense that he was talking about world affairs with Cao Cao, but he asked himself to be an assassin? He was slightly angry in his heart, but his face remained calm. He threw a bag of coins to the two soldiers behind him and said, "I'll go
You can take a stroll on the street at your own leisure, and remember to go back before dark."
The two soldiers said happily: "Thank you, General, for the reward!"
Luoyang got its name because it is located in the north of Luoshui River. The mountains in the south and the water in the north are called Yang. Luoyang is in the center of the world, where the elite of the empire is located, with a permanent population of nearly one million. The palaces, pavilions, waterside pavilions and other buildings built inside and outside the city are all
It was magnificent and unparalleled in the world. Chen Cheng dismounted his horse and walked on the street. Seeing the constant flow of pedestrians, the irritability in his heart calmed down a little.
There were many ladies in gorgeous clothes on the street. After seeing Chen Cheng, many people looked at him frequently. Normally, he would... well, even when he was in a good mood, he would
He would not tease a little girl casually. He walked into a restaurant casually, put Gulu behind the stable, and asked the store to serve some wine and food.
In the compartment on the second floor, he knelt and sat on the ground, his mood gradually calming down. He was not stupid. Although Cao Cao's attitude towards him changed several times, the coldness in his heart remained the same. It's no wonder that even if it wasn't Cao Cao,
It would be the same for anyone else. For someone like him who comes to the door and has trouble with the eunuch, everyone has to be wary.
He picked up the wine glass, looked at the turbid wine, and then put it down again. Suddenly there was a sound in the air behind him, and someone kicked down the screen. He raised his sword and slashed at Chen Cheng's back. The assassination was sudden and swift, but Chen Cheng had already
Already know. With such eye-catching red dots, it’s hard not to notice them.
The moment he put down the wine glass, he grabbed the sword on the ground and blocked it backwards with the scabbard.
"when!"
The Han sword struck the scabbard, sparks flying out. Chen Cheng's hand was shaken. It was obvious that the opponent's strength was amazing, but his power would only be stronger. He kicked the overturned table and all the dishes were thrown at the opponent.
He passed by. The assassin slashed with his knife, splitting the table into two halves. However, the soup and water in the dishes inevitably splashed out and showered him all over.
Chen Cheng calmly took out the "Seven Star" sword. He held the knife across his chest with both hands and asked, "We seem to have met before?"
Wang Yue's wrists were numb, his body was covered with stains, and he looked a little embarrassed. He kicked away the debris at his feet and sneered: "It was Jian Shuo who saved your life last time. Let's see who can save you this time!"
He kept harsh words in his mouth, but acted very cautiously. The sword strike just now was something he had planned for a long time, but it was in vain. The other party blocked it casually, and almost knocked the sword away from his hand, leaving him unable to do anything.
Deal with it carelessly.
"It turns out it's you," Chen Cheng said with a smile on his face: "I happened to feel unhappy, so I used you for surgery!"
After saying that, he raised his sword and chopped off his head.
Just now, everything suddenly changed, and everyone upstairs had already run away. At this time, Chen Cheng slashed at them with his sword. Wang Yue gritted his teeth and swung his sword to fight. There was a rapid sound of footsteps upstairs, and there was a "clinking" of metal.
There was a loud bang,
The more Wang Yue fought, the more frightened he became. He had just known that Chen Cheng was unusually strong, but he thought he could defeat his opponent because of his superior swordsmanship. However, when the fight started, he discovered that Chen Cheng's sword was even faster.
It was unusual. After every round of fighting against the world, his back was completely wet with sweat.
"Damn it, how could you be so strong?"
Wang Yue turned sideways to avoid the opponent's thrust, and swung his sword upwards with his backhand. As expected, he was blocked by someone who came from behind. Chen Cheng successfully blocked with one knife, and then used the magical skill of "blocking counterattack", using the long knife quickly.
It was cut out from the ground, as if there was no need to recover.
"when!"
Wang Yue withdrew his sword in time and laid it in front of him. He was already extremely horrified. How could he be faster?
"Block Counter" is a magical skill in "Mount and Blade". It's said to be simple, but it's actually very simple. It means to immediately launch a counterattack after blocking an attack from the opponent. Because of the judgment, you don't need to move forward to make the move, so
It is extremely fast. But it is difficult to say the least. You need to be absolutely sure of the speed of the enemy and yourself before you can use it successfully.
But even if it is used, it may not be able to kill the enemy with one blow.
