Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76
Early the next morning, Zhou Cang, Dian Wei, and Wei Yan escorted Cao Cao to Chenliu, and Zhou Da returned to Xuzhou on his own.

Cao Cao admired Dian Wei when he saw Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and Dian Wei just pretended not to hear.Zhou Cang secretly laughed in his heart, it would have been beneficial to strike early, if Cao Cao met Dian Wei first, he would definitely do everything possible to snatch him away, I don't know what will happen to Liu Bei when he sees Wei Yan.Zhou Cang always believed that Wei Yan was not inferior to the five tiger generals, and even surpassed them in some places.

After Cao Cao heard that Wei Yan was Zhou Cang's new disciple, he paid special attention to it. Except that Wei Yan was very self-reliant and had no fear of himself, he found nothing.

Passing by a village that night, Cao Cao suddenly said: "I have an old man named Lu Boshe who lives in this village. Let's go to his place to have some wine and dinner, stay overnight, and leave tomorrow."

Zhou Cang was taken aback, Lu Boshe?It's not good to cry secretly, why is it so negligent, forget this person, Cao Cao has already brought it up, it's too late to say anything, and he can't stop it, so he has to go with Cao Cao.

Lu Boshe warmly entertained Cao Cao and his party, and personally arranged for his servants to prepare food and drinks. Cao Cao and Zhou Cang waited in the room. After a while, there was a faint quarrel, and Cao Cao suspiciously winked at Zhou Cang. , The two stood up gently, and followed the voice to find it.

"Father, don't get angry. The imperial court's wanted documents have been spread all over the world. Who is Dong Zhuo? He kills people without blinking an eye. Cao Cao has already been seen when he entered my house. Don't arrest him and bring him to the government. People in our family and our village I can’t even run away. It’s said in the document that if Cao Cao is captured, he will be rewarded with platinum.” Judging from the tone of the speaker, it should be Lu Boshe’s son.

"What do you know? It's useless to teach you what loyalty is. Dong Zhuo is a national traitor, and everyone will be punished. Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo in a righteous deed, and now he is wanted to come here. Although we can't assassinate Dong Zhuo like him, at least To protect him, this is also for the people of the world." Lu Boshe said.

"How capable is Cao Cao, the failure of the assassination shouldn't implicate us. I'm afraid someone has already reported to the officials."

"Don't talk nonsense, the sky is dark, how can the people in the village recognize him as Cao Cao? There is no such shameless person in the village." Lu Boshe said.

"Father, I'll go out and see if there is any movement."

"You all stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere, hurry up and prepare dinner and wine."

Hearing this, Cao Cao and Zhou Cang returned to the house, staring at each other speechlessly. Dian Wei and Wei Yan saw the slight change in their faces, so they didn't inquire, and just waited for them to speak.After a while, Lu Boshe came back, "Mengde just wait a little longer, the food and drink will be ready soon." Cao Cao cupped his hands and said, "Lu Weng, I offended you by visiting suddenly. I have urgent business and need to leave quickly, so don't bother me."

Lu Boshe stopped him and said, "It's rare for Meng De to come, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. It's not too late to have a meal and rest for the night. I've already arranged the food and drink, and it will be ready soon."

Cao Cao said: "No need, Lu Weng knows that I have been wanted by the court and I cannot stay for long..."

"Don't worry about Meng De, there are very few outsiders in the village, so nothing will happen. There is not enough wine at home, let me buy some more, and drink with Meng De today. Meng De sit down for a while, and I will come when I go." Perhaps Lu Bo Lu Boshe's original intention was to see if there was any movement outside by the way, so Lu Boshe got up and walked out the door after speaking.

One wants to leave, the other wants to stay, Zhou Cang shook his head, the misunderstanding deepened.

Cao Cao couldn't sit still, so he got up and went to the kitchen to eavesdrop, and heard the sound of sharpening knives.Then I heard someone say: "Tie him up and kill him." Another person replied: "Are you really going to kill him?"

Cao Cao's anger rose from his heart, and his evil rose from his guts. He returned to the house, drew Zhou Cang's saber, "Weiguo, evil comes with me." Then he walked out.

Zhou Cang pulled Cao Cao, "Brother Cao, calm down. Don't hurt people's lives easily. We can leave."

Zhou Cang and Dian Wei pushed Cao Cao to the stable, and Wei Yan followed closely.I saw several dealers surrounding the horses of four people, and some of them wanted to ride Huang Feidian with claws.Seeing Cao Cao and Zhou Cang, several people immediately surrounded him. Cao Cao yelled and chopped down one of them with his sword.Zhou Cang shook his head and sighed, he could only say that these people's lives were not good.

After Cao Cao killed the man, he went straight to the kitchen with a knife. The people in the kitchen heard the movement outside and came out to watch, but they still held a kitchen knife in their hands. Look at a chicken hanging upside down from the beam of the house.

Zhou Cang came in to take a look, pulled Cao Cao and said, "Let's go."

The four of them rode their horses without saying a word, and when they arrived at Zhuangkou, they saw Lu Boshe walking back with a lantern in his arms and a jug in his arms. "Why did Mengde leave again?"

"I really don't want to disturb you, and I'm also in a hurry." Cao Cao said while avoiding the candlelight.

"Meng De..." Lu Boshe approached, "Why is Meng De covered in blood, ah, you held the steel knife back, what did you do?"

Cao Cao was speechless.

"Could it be that you killed my family and fled in fear of crime? Well done to you, Cao Cao, I treat you with sincerity, but I never thought you would reciprocate like this. Don't leave."

"Where did I kill your family, look back, didn't they come looking for you?"

Lu Boshe looked back, Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe with a knife in his hand. "You and your family will be buried in honor in the future." Cao Cao turned to look at Zhou Cang, "Let's go."

Zhou Cang smiled wryly, "Why bother?"

Cao Cao laughed miserably, "I'd rather be blamed than others!"

After escorting Cao Cao to Chenliu, Zhou Cang bid farewell and returned to Xuzhou. This trip lasted for three months. The imperial edict might have arrived in Xuzhou long ago, but he did not go back. Tao Qian probably must have been in a hurry.

On the way, Wei Yan asked: "I don't understand something, please ask my teacher to clarify." Zhou Cang sighed, really teaching children badly. "Do you want to ask, since you have killed Lu Boshe's family by mistake, why did you kill him again? Wouldn't it be a mistake?"

"Exactly."

"Two words, helpless. Do you think what will happen to Lu Boshe when he sees his family members die? One is to immediately call the whole village to arrest us. Does that mean that more people will die? If the government is alarmed again, we may all The second is that Lu Boshe is old and must be heartbroken. How can he be an only child? Killing him can end his pain. Cao Cao knew he was wrong, but he can only bear this mistake."

"Then what will the teacher do?"

"Hehe, Guitou, do you want to be a teacher? Let me tell you, if I was wanted, I would have run far away and wouldn't stay here, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone." Zhou Cang laughed. .Dian Wei nodded frequently, he had seen Zhou Cang run away quickly every time something happened.

"I understand. Then why do you still want to be friends with Cao Cao?"

"Good question. Don't you think that although Cao Cao was wrong about this matter, he is thoughtful and decisive? I am not friends with him, and we can't be friends. It can only be regarded as a relationship. He is a hero. Now You can’t do without him in this troubled world, and you will gradually understand.” Zhou Cang said again: “Since you catch up today, I will give you the first homework: When you are in danger of your life, you will find a The person who has helped you, or the person you have helped? You don't have to rush to answer, think about it and come to me later."
