Chapter 350 Cao Cao's Heroic Road

The night is dark, the sun and the moon are dark.

On the outskirts of Zhongmou City, seven or eight miles away from the northern suburbs, Dalu Village, the village is dark at night, most of the villagers work day in and day out at sunrise, and at this moment they are already sleeping peacefully.

Only Lu Boshe's family at the head of the village was quite festive in the courtyard.

Cao Cao and Chen Gong rested in the small courtyard.

After running continuously, Cao Cao was already exhausted and wanted to rest at this moment. As a scholar, Chen Gong followed Cao Cao all night and was also exhausted. However, both of them were vigilant people and did not dare to relax. And close your eyes.

After more than half an hour, a chichi sound woke them up from the state of closing their eyes and resting their minds.

"Meng De, listen, what is this sound?"

Chen Gong said in a low voice.

"Sharpen the knife!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face, "This is the sound of sharpening knives. They are sharpening knives. They are sharpening knives to kill us. Let us serve the court with our heads!"

The swords in the hands of the two slowly raised.

They are being cautiously prepared, because a shadow outside has begun to approach their house, making them feel an oppressive atmosphere.

"Didn't you say that Lu Boshe has a sworn bond with you, and he has a bold temperament, do you trust him as you trust yourself?" Chen Gong frowned.

"I also said that in today's chaotic world, the collapse of ritual and music, and the insignificance of people's hearts, how many people hurt their loved ones for fighting rice!"

Cao Cao said in a low voice.

His suspicious character showed his embryonic form. Ever since he became an abandoned son in the Battle of Beiman, and was finally betrayed by Yuan Shao, his former friend, he no longer believed in anyone in this world, he only believed in himself.

"Could it be that Lu Boshe didn't go to clear the way for us, but sent soldiers to arrest us?" Chen Gong panicked.

"Brother Gongtai, it seems that we have to break out of the siege today, so that we have a chance of survival!"

Cao Cao's sword was raised, and a cold light streaked across the void.

The night got deeper, and in an instant, the blood splashed...

There are more than ten people in the Lu family compound, and no dogs or chickens are left behind.

After a long time, the two stood in the courtyard, covered in blood, and the blade of the sword was also dripping with blood. There were only dead bodies around.

Chen Gong went up and looked at the inner circle, where there was a pig, his whole body trembled, as if struck by lightning, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, his voice trembling: "Meng De, we killed the wrong person, they didn't kill with a sharpened knife. We, but slaughtered pigs to entertain you and me, we killed good people by mistake, and made a big mistake!"

In this era, killing pigs to entertain guests is the highest standard of hospitality. Meat is still very scarce in this era. How many people can’t eat enough and even eat grass roots. How can they kill pigs at any time? There are households that raise pigs , generally do not kill non-important days, and do not kill non-important guests.

There was also a flash of blood in Cao Cao's eyes, his pupils were also trembling, and the hand holding the sword was even a little soft, but a fierce light emerged from the bottom of his eyes, flashed past, and said in a deep voice: "A big mistake has been made, let's leave quickly!"

"Meng De, don't you have any regrets?"

Chen Gong pointed at Cao Cao and said coldly.

"The matter has come to this, what's the use of lamenting!" Cao Cao withdrew his sword, and said calmly: "We should hurry to our lives!"

Cao Cao carried the corpses one by one like a house, then lit a torch and burned them directly.

Then he pulled the horse, and left.

Although Chen Gong couldn't calm down, he still gritted his teeth, pulled the horse, followed behind Cao Cao, and headed east along the mountain path.

The two led the horses, not daring to make too much movement, groping in the dark night, and gradually moved forward.

At dawn, when it was almost dawn, on a mountain path two miles away, they ran into Lu Boshe who was returning with a jar of fine wine. up.

Lu Boshe rode a donkey, walked the mountain road at night with some ease, and returned humming a little song.

"Brother Mengde, are you leaving?"

Lu Boshe was anxious for justice, saw the two figures of Cao Cao, jumped off the donkey, and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? I have ordered my family to kill pigs and drink a jar of fine wine. I will be drunk tonight." , As for the way to go, Meng De is in no hurry, I have arranged a caravan to cover up my identity, just go to Chenliu!"

Chen Gong and Cao Cao looked at each other.

Chen Gong's eyes were full of self-blame, shame, and shame.

And Cao Cao.

There was only a trace of hostility in his eyes, and the hand holding the sword moved.

"Cao Cao!" Seeing Cao Cao's killing intent, Chen Gong shouted loudly, wanting to stop him.

But it was too late.

Click!

Cao Cao is a military general, his sword is as fast as lightning, and Lu Boshe, who is only three steps away, as a scholar, cannot avoid it at all. I don't understand why Cao Cao killed himself.

"Cao Mengde, how can you make mistakes again and again!"

Chen Gong's eyes widened. There was a hint of pedantry in his personality, which is a common problem among scholars. If he can't accept some things, he just can't accept them. He drew his sword and pointed it at Cao Cao. He said in a cold voice: "In Lu family, we misunderstood, which led to serious crimes, but now we know exactly how kind and righteous Lu Boshe is, yet you slaughtered them mercilessly, how ungrateful you are!"

"I won't kill him, let him go home, and see that his family is ruined, he will resent you and me, when he moves in officers and soldiers, how can we fight, then you and I are just dead souls!"

Cao Cao's voice carried the determination to move forward bravely.

He is not a heartless person.

There is also a strong relationship with Lu Boshe, and they admire each other quite a lot.

Killing the wrong person, he felt fear in his heart.

But fear made his heart grow, and his character was fully revealed.

This sword, he must stab out.

The thrust of this sword also opened a shackle in his heart.

"It's better for me to blame others than to let others blame me!"

Cao Cao held the sword and his voice was wild.

Chen Gong's sword pointed at Cao Cao's eyebrows, but his hands trembled. His eyes were complicated. Once upon a time, how much he admired this warrior who could assassinate the most powerful official in the dynasty, and regarded him as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

But now, he is no longer clear to you, which Cao Cao is real.

"Let's go, it's almost dawn. After dawn, if someone finds out about the Lu family, they will report it to the county. At that time, our traces will be exposed!" Cao Cao put his sword back into its sheath, and said calmly: "The dead are dead, and the living still have to shoulder the responsibility." Great cause, I bear His Majesty's command, I can die, I can be wrong, I can't be messed up!"

"Cao Mengde, let's go!"

Chen Gong put away his sword, knelt beside him, and began to dig a hole with his sword. He was about to bury Lu Boshe's body. Fate, nothing but enmity can stay, I will not make things difficult for you, but the ways are different, and we will not conspire with each other, between you and me, we will part ways from now on!"

"Pity!"

Cao Cao cast a sidelong glance at Chen Gong, got on his horse, and left without looking back.

With this walk, he walked out of Guanzhong, walked into Chenliu, walked towards the world, and also embarked on a bloody and heroic road...
