The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 179 The General Finally Awakens
Cao Cao trotted towards the palace gate on his newly acquired BMW.

He knew that Dong Zhuo would react soon, so he couldn't help but feel anxious, but in the palace, he didn't dare to gallop his horse, trotting was already at the limit speed.

Except for those who were authorized by Dong Zhuo, if other people rode horses and galloped in the palace, the imperial guards could shoot and kill them without asking the reason.

He secretly calculated the distance in his heart. At this time, he had to go through three palace gates, about 170 zhang, to leave the palace.

There is a palace gate tens of zhang ahead, surrounded by dozens of guards on duty, and dozens of archers on the tower.

No matter how anxious he was, Cao Cao remained calm and always had a faint smile on his face.

Looking at those guards who stood tall and straight like spears, they also looked very appreciative, which made the guards who noticed his expression stand up straighter.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes behind him, and Cao Cao's expression changed immediately.

Being able to have such a speed and run wildly in Da Nei without any scruples, the guards turned a blind eye to him, and Cao Cao knew who was coming without turning his head.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Qi in Cao Cao's body instantly enveloped the mount under him, and suddenly he knocked on the horse's belly, and the sweaty BMW under him immediately threw off its four hooves and galloped away.

Before the surrounding guards could react, they ran out of the palace gate.

Li Mu, who was chasing behind him, was not in a hurry, he took the time to shout: "Cao Mengde intends to assassinate the grand master, the grand master has an order, immediately kill this thief."

When the old guards heard this, combined with Cao Cao's sudden acceleration, they moved immediately without any doubt.

This shout radiated in all directions, not to mention the guards nearby, even the guards on the towers of the surrounding palace city could hear it clearly.

The guards guarding the outermost gate of the palace and the guards at the second palace gate immediately closed the palace gate and formed a formation in front of the palace gate.

The guards on the city tower raised their bows and arrows one after another, waiting in full force.

The imperial palace of the Han Dynasty is not as spacious and spacious as the Forbidden City. Not only are the roads narrow, but there are also arrow towers everywhere.

Cao Cao was in desperation almost instantly. When he ran to a distance of fifteen or sixty feet from the second palace gate, a small school on the city wall decisively ordered: "Shoot the arrow."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The rain of arrows came towards him, and Cao Cao's face, which could be called a boy, became even more pale.

But with Cao Cao's heart, even if he was in a desperate situation, he would never accept his fate so easily.

With a swoop of his horse's head, he rushed towards the stairs to the tower.

The gate of the palace is closed, there are still guards and spearmen forming a formation in front of the gate, and there are archers on the gate tower shooting arrows, it is meaningless to rush towards the gate of the palace.

His only chance of survival is to rush up and jump off the city wall.

At this time, he was unarmed, so he decisively grabbed the belt around his waist and tore it off.

Regardless of the collapse of his outer shirt, Cao Cao poured his energy into his belt, danced in a ball by his side, and pushed aside the arrows one by one.

The mount under him, although it is considered common among sweaty horses, is much stronger than ordinary horses and is extremely fast.

In a blink of an eye, the bloody horse rushed up the stairs with Cao Cao on its back. Under his anger, it slammed into the guards blocking the way and rushed up the palace wall.

Then without hesitation, he jumped out of the palace wall.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly noticed a shadow flashing over his head, subconsciously raised his head to look, and couldn't help shrinking his pupils.

The crimson on the top of his head and the contemptuous eyes of the knight on horseback sent chills down his spine and despair in his heart.

It turned out that when Cao Cao rode his horse up the stairs, the red rabbit horse jumped up ten feet away from the front of the palace gate under the control of Li Mu.

The red rabbit horse jumped five or six feet high, far exceeding the height of the palace wall, and it was extremely powerful, much faster than the sweaty horse, and it actually passed over Cao Cao's head first.

"Boom...boom"

With two heavy landing sounds in a row, Chituma took off behind and jumped higher and farther, but landed before Cao Cao and the bloody BMW.

Li Mu turned the horse's head, Fang Tianji rested on his shoulders, and the two feathers on top of his head fluttered gently, showing the invincibility of the God of War.

The guard archers on the city wall had already aimed at Cao Cao's back.

But seeing Li Mu stop in front of Cao Cao in such a shocking way, and put down his bow and arrow one after another, there was only endless worship and awe in his eyes.

Li Mu turned his head slightly to look at Cao Cao, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and jokingly said, "Run, why don't you run away?"

After the matter had come to this, Cao Cao calmed down instead. He closed his open shirt and fastened his belt again.

Then he looked at Li Mu and said, "I heard that General Lu killed someone so fast that he didn't even have time to close his eyes. I wonder if it's true or not?"

Li Mu's signature grin appeared on Li Mu's face, and he asked, "What do you think?"

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, "If you don't believe me, I ask the general to open Cao's eyes."

Li Mu saw that he had restrained himself, did not take any precautions, and still spoke like this, a gleam of enlightenment floated in his eyes.

He is seeking a quick death.

Cao Cao knew clearly that he was far from Li Mu's opponent.

Even with the "general sword" in hand, he can go three to five rounds at most, let alone being unarmed now.

If he died in the hands of Li Mu like this, he could still leave a name of loyalty in the history.

And if he is captured alive, he will inevitably be tortured to extract a confession and suffer all kinds of torture.

If he couldn't bear it and confessed to Wang Yun, then not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would still die in the end. The countless tortures would be in vain.

So he just gave up resisting and killed without a fight.

Li Mu sighed in his heart, Boss Cao is indeed worthy of his heroic character, even if he dies, he will not let himself die worthless, at least he will leave behind his name.

But speaking of it, if you want to ask who among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, who Li Mu admires the most, it is precisely this great hero who would rather me bear the world than the world.

In view of this, Li Mu decided to fulfill him.

His figure suddenly disappeared on the horseback, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the air.

In an instant, Li Mu had appeared behind Cao Cao.

Fang Tianji was carried on his shoulder again, and asked without looking back: "Do you believe it now?"

Cao Cao sat upright on the horseback, his whole body stiff and motionless, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he said slowly, "Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved."

After saying this, Cao Cao remained silent.

Li Mu sighed inwardly. It was quite embarrassing for a generation of heroes to die before they could grow up.

But there is no way, whoever asked him to replace Lu Bu, naturally wants to eliminate all future obstacles in the bud.

You know, in the original history, Lu Bu died at the hands of Boss Cao, or at the instigation of big-eared thieves.

"Don't worry, I'll send that 'Sanying' down to accompany you soon, you guys, under the Nine Netherworld, let's talk about heroes with green plums and wine!"

After muttering this sentence, Li Muji handed over his left hand, raised his right hand and grabbed it backwards, Cao Cao's head flew up from his body and fell into Li Mu's palm.

Li Mu just carried Cao Cao's head by the hair and walked into the palace, Chituma followed by himself, Cao Cao's body was handled by the guards.

In the original plot, it was Cao Cao who called on the heroes of the world to come to Luoyang to attack Dong Zhuo, and finally gathered the eighteen princes.

Now that Cao Cao is gone, Li Mu has to figure it out by himself.

Of course he already had a draft, otherwise he wouldn't have killed Cao Cao just like that. He could still sing the play of the [-]th princes begging for Dong without Cao Cao.

……

After Li Mu showed Cao Cao's head to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo praised him greatly, and immediately rewarded him with the Seven Star Sword.

Li Mu refused the reward, he said to Dong Zhuo seriously: "Seven Star Treasure Saber is unparalleled in sharpness, cuts iron like mud, and is very small and easy to hide."

"That's why this knife is most suitable for assassination. Yifu shouldn't let this knife go out, it's just right to use it for self-defense."

Dong Zhuo was deeply moved after hearing Li Mu's words that he was always thinking of him, he patted Li Mu's shoulder heavily, and said, "Okay, I didn't misunderstand you, my son is really my confidant."

Rejecting the seven-star sword, which was of no use to him, Dong Zhuo also rewarded him with a lot of money and treasures.

This is what is useful to Li Mu. In the future, it will take money to support the army. In the original history, Boss Cao went to dig graves for military expenses.

Li Mu naturally wants to plan ahead and accumulate a lot of wealth.

If it doesn't work, he will also learn from Boss Cao, recruit a group of tomb robbers, and form Mojin Xiaowei.

After bidding farewell to Dong Zhuo and returning to the General's Mansion, Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi were still practicing martial arts, so Li Mu asked them to stop and rest for a while.

Sitting on the stone bench at the edge of the martial arts arena, Li Mu suddenly asked Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, do you think we will have a future if we follow Dong Zhuo?"

Lu Lingqi didn't react much, she was still young, and she put all her energy into martial arts, and didn't understand many things, but Zhang Liao was shocked.

He subconsciously looked around and saw that the guards closest to them were tens of feet away. He felt relieved and said in a low voice, "Why did the general say that?"

Li Mu frowned and said: "Dong Zhuo's misfortune and chaos in the court and filth in the palace will sooner or later arouse the wrath of heaven and people, and they will attack him in groups. If we follow him, I'm afraid it will not end well."

Zhang Liao's eyes brightened, his heart was ecstatic, the general finally awakened, this is great luck.

In fact, he and several of the eight generals all saw that Dong Zhuo's behavior would never end well in the future.

It can be said that the former Lv Bu was headstrong, said one thing, could not listen to advice, and they dared not say many things, which made the insightful people under his command very helpless.

His question today shows that he has finally started to think, which is a great thing.

Zhang Liao restrained his excitement, and said seriously: "Since the general has seen this, why don't you find another way out?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Of course we have to find another way out, but now we have only three thousand soldiers, and eight generals to fight with. If we betray Dong Zhuo, it may be difficult for us to gain a foothold in this world."

"The fortunes of the Han Dynasty are already on the verge of exhaustion. The world is in chaos. The era of feudal lords is coming. Whoever has the army in his hands will be the king and hegemony."

"So we have to think of a way, how to get more troops, not too many, as long as we have [-] to [-] troops, no matter where we go, we will be able to gain a firm foothold."

Li Mu's words really surprised and delighted Zhang Liao.

Surprised that Li Mu has become self-reliant, happy that he is really enlightened and can think with his heart.

Zhang Liao got up and knelt down in front of Li Mu, without suppressing his excitement, he said excitedly, "General, your subordinates and General Zang have been waiting for this day for a long time, and we finally arrived."

Li Mu knew it well, stepped forward to help Zhang Liao, and sighed: "Wen Yuan, the old me, did you let everyone down?"

Looking at Li Mu, Zhang Liao said with reddened eyes, "No, the general has always been the most admired person by his subordinates, and his subordinates have always firmly believed that the general will wake up one day."

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said, "Wen Yuan, go and inform Xuan Gao and the others that we will go hunting in the city tomorrow, so don't forget to call Gao Shun."

Zhang Liao was full of energy, clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Zhang Liao turned and walked away quickly, while Li Mu looked at Lu Lingqi and asked with a smile, "My dear girl, what are you thinking?"

When he was talking to Zhang Liao just now, she had been looking at him steadily.

Lu Lingqi smiled and said: "Daughter is thinking, what made father change so much."

Li Mu stroked her hair habitually, and said softly, "If I say it's because of you, would you believe me?"

Lu Lingqi looked at him with some disappointment when she heard the words, and said, "Because of your daughter?"

Li Mu sighed softly, and said, "Father saw you this morning, and suddenly realized that you have grown up so much, and finally realized that I am no longer alone."

"I have you by my side, your mother, and good brothers like Wenyuan. Your fate is tied to me. I can no longer be selfish and live only for myself."

"So, I started to learn to think, because I have to plan for the future of the people around me."

Listening to Li Mu's words, Lu Lingqi's eyes sparkled, but there was a bright smile on her face.

"Father, my daughter is so happy. My daughter has the best father in the world."

……

late at night.

Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Yan Shi beside him, and pointed at her sleeping point.

Then he got up and took out a black suit, his long hair was casually tied into a ponytail, and he took out a triangular veil to cover his face.

The next moment, his body turned into a blur, flew up lightly, and passed through the roof directly, like a ghost.

This is the secret technique "Seven Endless Realms" in the Sacred Heart Art.

It's a pity that this is just the TV drama version of Seven Endless Realms, which can only be transformed between fiction and reality.

After blurring, it can be physically immune, and it can travel through the entity like a ghost.

Once it is attacked by energy, it will immediately return from virtual to real.

So this trick can only be used as an auxiliary skill, and it is useless in battle.

The manga version of Seven Endless Realms is amazing. It can turn the body into particles and reorganize anywhere. It can be called the nemesis of most martial arts, and its survivability is boundless.

After Li Mu passed through the roof, he flew straight towards the palace.

He is also very familiar with this imperial palace, and he easily found Emperor Xian Liu Xie's bedroom.

Still not entering from the roof of the palace, he set all the maids in the palace on the sleeping points from the inside out.

Then he came to Liu Xie's bedside. Now Liu Xie is 12 years old, he is sensible and ignorant, and belongs to the best age to fool.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Li Mu gently patted Liu Xie awake. When he woke up, he saw a man in black next to the bed, and he was so frightened that he wanted to scream.

Li Mu had been prepared for a long time, covered his mouth, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't panic, the general is here to help His Majesty destroy Dong Zhuo and save His Majesty from fire and water."

Hearing these words, Liu Xie gradually calmed down.

Li Mu did not let go hastily, but continued: "The maids and servants outside have all been knocked out by the general, and they won't find anything abnormal when they wake up."

"Your Majesty, please speak in a low voice, so as not to disturb the guards and arouse Dong's vigilance."

Liu Xie nodded quickly when he heard the words, Li Mu let go of Liu Xie's palm, took a step back, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "Follow the matter urgently, and please forgive me for the offence."

Liu Xie sat up, looked outside, and whispered: "General, I forgive you for your innocence."

Li Mu just got up, squatted beside the bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Bandit Dong is now very powerful, with an army of 50 in his hands. It is absolutely impossible to directly deal with him from the court."

"The only way is for His Majesty to issue an edict to call on heroes from all walks of life to gather volunteer soldiers and go to Luoyang to serve the king. Only in this way can there be a chance of survival."

Liu Xie nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and said: "What the general said is very true. I have thought about it for a long time. However, the palace is tightly controlled by Dong thief, and my edict cannot be sent to the palace at all."

Li Mudao: "The general came here for this reason. Please write down the imperial edict. The general will take it out of Luoyang and issue a call to action immediately, calling on the heroes of the world to discuss Dong."

Liu Xie began to breathe quickly, with surprises on his face, but when he saw Li Mu, who was masked in black, he did not remove the mask in front of him, showing his true face, so he couldn't help hesitating.

He asked cautiously: "Didn't you ask the general's name?"

Li Mu is completely different from Lu Bu in terms of temperament, eyes, etc. The only flaw is his height.

So Li Mu kept squatting beside the bed and did not stand up in front of Liu Xie.

Li Mu said apologetically, "Your Majesty, forgive me. Due to some very complicated reasons, the final general still dare not reveal his identity."

"If Dong Chenggong can be defeated in the future, His Majesty will definitely see the last general in the court hall. At that time, the last general will devote himself to helping the Han Dynasty and be loyal to His Majesty."

"And if the appeal for the chairman fails, he will not reveal his identity in the end, not only for self-protection, but also for the protection of His Majesty's life."

With Liu Xie's current IQ, he still can't figure out the complicated stakes.

But he doesn't need to sort it out, he just needs to know that this mysterious man in black is here to help him.

Liu Xie said happily: "Okay, I will write the edict now, but the jade seal is in the hands of Dong thief, so I can only use my private seal."

Li Mudao: "It's okay, a private seal is enough."

Even Cao Cao's fake edict is fine, and Liu Xiejia's privately printed edict is naturally no problem.

Now Liu Xie personally dug out the blank imperial edict, wrote down the content according to Li Mu's request, and then stamped it with a private seal.

When Li Mu asked Liu Xie to write the edict, he mentioned Yuan Shao, and even this edict was written for Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie secretly guessed, could this mysterious man in black belong to Yuan Shao?

Thinking of it this way, Liu Xie's hopes greatly increased.

The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, no matter their fame or the power in their hands, are all very important.

If Yuan Shao really takes the lead, all the heroes in the world will definitely respond.

As a result, Dong thief's good days will come to an end.

When Qin Wang's teacher arrives, he, the puppet emperor, will be able to truly take power and govern.

At this moment, the heart of this elementary school child is full of ambition.

After Li Mu got the edict, he asked Liu Xie to pretend that nothing happened and go back to bed to sleep.

"General, the Great Han Dynasty depends on you."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, within half a year, Dong Thief will be taught that his head is in a different place, and he will retire at the end."

Li Mu finished the last sentence with Liu Xie at the bedside, hugged him, then turned around and kicked his feet, and the whole person flew out like an arrow from the string.

After leaving Liu Xie's sight, Li Mu picked up Qiwujujie again and flew out from the roof.

Seeing Li Mu's skills, Liu Xie made up his mind that this mysterious man in black has such skills, and he will be able to take the edict out safely.

Thinking about the day when he would truly rule the world in the future, Liu Xie suffered from insomnia that night.
