Cao Thief

Chapter 371 Five Bird Skills (12)

"Good knife!"

A feminine voice came into Cao Peng's ear, the voice was slightly high-pitched.

Cao Peng was taken aback, but the Tiger Roaring Saber still swung fiercely.He grabbed the opponent's arm tightly with one hand, and the Tiger Roaring Saber fell diagonally.According to normal people's thinking, this knife is sure to be sure, even if the white-clothed assassin in front of him has the ability to reach the sky, he cannot escape this swift and violent blow.Unexpectedly, the moment the Tiger Roaring Knife fell, Cao Peng suddenly felt the opponent's arm slip out of his hand like a boneless snake.Immediately, the assassin made a wrong step and dodged, his palm was in the shape of a snake, and he pecked fiercely on Cao Peng's wrist.As if bitten by a poisonous snake, a tingling sensation spread rapidly along the wrist and arm.

not good!

Cao Peng screamed inwardly, but the sword in his hand was uncontrollably thrown out.

The assassin followed in a wrong step, with a series of snake-shaped hands, only to hear a series of bang bang bang, hitting Cao Peng accurately and fiercely between the chest and abdomen.

Every blow seems to be very gentle.

However, a huge force was produced, causing Cao Peng to retreat again and again and vomit blood again and again.

The body was inertial and fell backwards.But the moment Cao Peng fell down, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked upwards from a very small space.The assassin didn't expect that Cao Peng would be able to fight back in such a situation. He couldn't dodge in time, and was kicked by Cao Peng in the chin, and he fell over.The two of them fell to the ground almost at the same time, Cao Peng was beaten almost to the point of death, and the assassin's jaw was split open by his kick, dripping with blood.More importantly, Cao Peng's kick was extremely powerful.The assassin's ability to resist blows is good, but he was dizzy for a while after being kicked... The bamboo hat was moved aside, revealing a head of gray hair...

It can be seen that he is about forty years old, with a bald jaw 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 arm didn't feel the slightest bit...

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.

A wound on the chin, split open like a baby's mouth.Blood fell on his chest, dyeing the skirt red.

From the corner of Cao Peng's eyes, a light flashed.

He turned his head and saw the long sword used by the previous assassin not far from him.

Seeing the assassin rushing towards him, Cao Peng gritted his teeth and rolled like a lazy donkey. While his body was rolling, he grabbed the sharp 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 and face the sky on his back, the long sword was raised obliquely, poof... it sank into the assassin's thigh.

The assassin screamed in pain, but Cao Peng took the opportunity to draw his sword and rolled aside.Taking advantage of the situation, he got up, knelt down on one knee, and stared at the assassin with his eyes wide open.

In the distance, the sound of hooves and footsteps came.

"Hugh left the assassin!"

Someone was shouting.

A group of Tiqi appeared from the end of the long street and galloped towards the arch.

Ti, which is orange, belongs to Zhijinwu.

Under Zhijinwu, there are two hundred tyrants and 520 halberds.

Although the authority of Jinwu has been greatly weakened now, the Tiqi and Halberds are still retained... However, due to the Battle of Guandu, the Halberds stayed in Xudu, but the Tiqis were taken away.It is Cao Peng's two hundred Feiyan who are acting as Tiqi now.

Cao Ji, who is in charge of Jinwucheng, temporarily leads Xudu to patrol.

Cao Peng's Fei Xuan withdrew from the Yueqi camp and had nothing to do, so he was recruited by Cao Ji into Jinwu, responsible for patrolling the market.

Today's team leader Tiqi is Hao Zhao.

Seeing Cao Peng lying in a pool of blood covered in blood from a distance, Hao Zhao suddenly became anxious.

He picked up his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow at the assassin.Seeing this situation, the assassin also knew that the possibility of killing Cao Peng was not too great.

Not to mention that Cao Peng still has the ability to resist, even if Cao Peng is killed, he will fall into the siege.

It's a small thing to die, but if it's exposed...

The assassin sneered and said, "Young Master Cao, you are lucky today, I hope you can have such good luck every day in the future."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Although his leg was injured, he ran not 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 wasn't until this moment that he felt the pain all over his body, and he kept gasping for breath.Who is this guy?Why are you so powerful?In terms of martial arts alone, 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 the White Tiger, Ge Xuange Xiaoxian...

However, Ge Xuan's kung fu was not so weird, it was upright.

And the kung fu of this dead eunuch is obviously specially used for assassination, it is weird and feminine... Judging from the number of moves he made just now, it is more inclined to the imitation snake fist.Cao Peng couldn't help but blame himself secretly: careless!I thought my kung fu was accomplished, but I became careless!
"Master, son!"

Hao Zhao jumped off the horse beside Cao Peng, and was about to help Cao Peng.

"Don't touch me!"

Cao Peng said suddenly: "Immediately send someone to invite Mr. Hua and Mr. Dong."

He really didn't dare to let Hao Zhao and the others move around. He knew his injury well.

The assassin's snake-shaped nine strikes just now probably hurt the viscera.Moreover, his moves are feminine, somewhat similar to the styles of the later generations of Neijiaquan, and it is estimated that his body cannot bear the toss.

"Find a stretcher and carry me back."

Hao Zhao quickly agreed.

Fortunately, here is not far from Huichun Hall, where there are ready-made stretchers.

After a while, two Tiqi came over with a stretcher and carefully put Cao Peng on the stretcher.

At this time, Tiqi, who went to track down the assassin, came back, and said with a face of shame: "Young master, the assassin ran away..."

"Ran?"

Hao Zhao was furious, and was about to yell at him, but was stopped by Cao Peng.

"Run away. With that guy's skills, even if he catches up, he will probably have to pay a huge loss. It's not worth it... He is coming for me. As long as I don't die, he will definitely appear again. This account , let’s keep it in our hearts, and we’ll settle it slowly later.”

Hao Zhao just let go of those Tiqi!

"Ah Fu was assassinated on Jianyangmen Street?"

Xun Yu was dealing with official business, and was shocked when he heard the news.

"Can you worry about your life?"

"Probably not... It is said that Mr. Cao ordered Tiqi to do things before he was carried back. He seemed very sober."

"The murderer, has he ever been caught?"

"no!"

Xun Yu couldn't help thinking when he heard this.

After a while, he asked again: "Can you notify the Tai Hospital?"

"Emperor Physician Hua and Imperial Physician Dong of Shaofu have all gone... But there is no news yet. The Cao Mansion has dispatched [-] guards from the farm to protect the mansion. Martial law, all nine gates have been closed."

Xun Yu smiled wryly: Zixiao is afraid he will go crazy this time!

This happened to Cao Peng just after he got out of prison.

Although this is not within his jurisdiction, if it is pursued, it may be difficult 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 little guy is here."

"Take my name as an assassin, go to the Marquis of Linyi, and tell him... Cao Youxue was assassinated on Changjie."

Xun Meng was taken aback, "Master, just this sentence? Although the Marquis of Linyi is staying behind closed doors, I'm afraid he has also received news..."

A cold light flashed in Xun Yu's eyes, "Just tell him, and he will know."

Xun Meng was at a loss, but still took orders to leave.

Xun Yu patted his forehead and sighed inwardly.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
"Mr. Hua, how is Ah Fu?"

When Hua Tuo walked out of the bedroom, Cao Ji went to meet him.

Speaking of which, Hua Tuo and the Cao Mansion are really destined.In half a year, he went to Cao's mansion twice to save people.So Cao Ji and him were not polite.

"Young master's flesh injury is not serious, but the internal organs...

The other party's skills are extremely strong, which means that the young master has a good physique and strong viscera.However, in a short time, he may not be healthy. "

Dong Xiao also said: "I have already prescribed a prescription, but my son has an internal injury and needs to be recuperated."

"That……"

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, your son is not in danger of his life."

Only then did Cao Ji heave a sigh of relief.

He was stunned when he heard the news when he was 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.Since four years ago, my health has recovered, but there have been many catastrophes.First, he offended Huang She and was forced to leave his hometown; then he was ups and downs in the officialdom, two promotions and two declines, which can be described as good fortune.

now……

Before Cao Nan was injured, Cao Ji was not as worried as he was.

Now that he heard that Cao Peng was fine, he felt relieved.

Mrs. Zhang cried so much that she passed out twice, and when she woke up, she cursed: "Which bastard who kills thousands of knives is so vicious and wants to kill my son?"

For Mrs. Zhang, when her daughter gets married, she has her own destiny.

Her son is everything to her, if something goes wrong, how can she survive?

After half a year of recuperation, Cao Nan was able to walk on the ground.Although the legs are still a bit inconvenient, it is no longer a serious problem.She and Huang Yueying supported Mrs. Zhang and kept comforting her.Deng Ai hugged Zhang Shi's leg and kept shouting, finally making Zhang Shi stop crying.

Everyone walked into the bedroom and saw Cao Peng lying on the bed with a pale face, looking haggard.

Zhang couldn't bear it, and cried again!
"Cry, cry, you know how to cry... Ah Fu is just right, what do you look like crying? You have lost all his luck!"

Cao Ji couldn't help but shout angrily.

Only then did Mrs. Zhang stop crying, and she said angrily: "Why are you angry at me? Ah Fu has suffered so much, and he has the ability to find out the murderer and avenge Ah Fu. Thanks to you, you are still holding Jin Wu Cheng, if you become an official, Ah Fu will suffer along with you."

"Father, mother... 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's family stop.

After asking about the cold and warm for a while, seeing that Cao Peng was not in a good spirit, he left the bedroom.

Huang Yueying stepped forward and held Cao Peng's hand, "Ah Fu, who did it?"

"Ahem... I don't know."

In fact, Cao Peng had already guessed a general idea in his heart.

There is no need for white faces, eunuchs... that must be done by people in the palace.And before he made a big fuss in Fuguo General's Mansion, he broke his palm.

The answer is ready to come out.

But Cao Peng decided to hide it.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Now that Fu Wan has just been dismissed from office, it is impossible to move him.

Cao Peng didn't have any evidence, so naturally he couldn't correct the other party.Even if it is corrected, what is the use?Since the assassin is a eunuch, he must have been appointed by the palace.Otherwise, even if it is finished, it may not be able to command.When the palace is involved, simple things can become complicated and troublesome.After Cao Peng thought twice, he decided to endure it temporarily, wait for the right time, and then take revenge.

Moreover, he was wounded by the opponent, and he could not recover immediately.

This guy...so powerful.

When the door curtain was raised, Hua Tuo came in from the outside.

He looked at Cao Peng, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "My lord, your injury is serious this time, and it may be difficult to recover with medicine alone.

Over the years, Tuo has traveled all over the country, haunting deep mountains and forests.

From the activities of birds and beasts, he comprehended a set of techniques for strengthening the body, which is called Wu Qin Gong.I saw that the young master had practiced kung fu before, and he seemed to have similar kung fu.Therefore, I take the liberty to teach it to the young master. I wonder if the young master is willing to learn it? "

Wu Qin Gong?
Cao Peng was startled for a moment, but immediately realized that this five-animal skill is the Hua Tuo five-animal play handed down by later generations?
However, due to Hua Tuo's death, the Wu Qin Xi has not been handed down completely.The Wu Qin Xi of later generations is more of a health-preserving exercise, and it is not complete.

Cao Peng pretended not to know: "Which five birds do you dare to ask?"

"Bear pose can strengthen the spleen and stomach and increase physical strength; crane pose can strengthen breathing, regulate qi and blood, and unblock the meridians; tiger pose can fill the lean and marrow, strengthen the waist and kidneys; deer pose can stretch the muscles and bones; ape pose can make the limbs flexible. I have been in and out of the mountains and forests all year round, and I have visited many Youdao real people. From their methods of cultivation, I have learned various methods of breath adjustment and exercise, and when combined with the five animal exercises, they can produce miraculous effects."

Cao Peng was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Please teach me sir."

"Master, you can recuperate for a month. After one month, when your body recovers, I will teach you."

"So, thank you very much!"

After Huang Yueying sent Hua Tuo away, she returned to the house.

She said softly: "Just now Mrs. Huan of Sikong Mansion sent a lot of expensive medicines, and there are two 300-year-old ginseng, why?"

Cao Peng leaned on the bed and said in a low voice: "I went to Dianfu today, but it was actually Mrs. Huan who recruited me.

She wanted me to teach the Fifth Young Master Cang Shu on purpose, and I agreed... I must have heard that I was injured, so sending someone over to offer condolences has no other meaning. "

"Professor Fifth Young Master?"

Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and immediately figured out the mystery.

"Ah Fu, you mean..."

Cao Peng took a deep breath and nodded lightly, "There are some things that don't bother you and me.

This kind of thing will happen sooner or later.Since we have to make a decision sooner or later, we might as well make a decision earlier to take advantage of it... By the way, there is one more thing, you can talk to Mr. Dong later and ask him to come to the Sikong mansion tomorrow to make a diagnosis for the fifth son . "

"What happened to the fifth son?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little more preparation, so you can be more sure... Children are young, sometimes they get sick, and they may not get sick immediately. By the way, let Xiaoai also have a check-up. It's best if there's nothing wrong. Well, it can be found out early that it is not."

Huang Yueying thought for a while, agreed with it, and nodded in agreement.
