Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

No matter life or death——

When Guan Yinping's cold words came out, countless officers and soldiers quickly flocked to the village.

Cao Pi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

--"Oops! Due to negligence...the whereabouts were exposed...』

He thought to himself, but because he was too nervous, when he turned around... he accidentally stepped on a branch, and a crisp "crunch" sound was heard in the quiet village in the dark night, which was particularly loud and clear.

"There's someone over there..."

"Go and see..."

Some officers and soldiers raised their hands and pointed behind the eaves, and then the sound of "stomp" footsteps could be heard, and countless officers and soldiers chased towards Cao Pi's position.

At that moment, Cao Pi's heart felt like a mess. He stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do at this time.

at this time…

Cao Pi felt his arm being clenched by a powerful hand, and at the same time there was a rough tone.

"Young Master...come with me——"

It's Zhang Fang!

Just like in the process of returning north, there are dangers again and again.

It is no exaggeration to say...if it were not for Zhang Fang, if it were not for him, from the perspective of a "commoner", he would use the survival methods that only "little people" in this era know to help Cao Pi turn the corner.

Now Cao Pi... has probably been caught and chopped into pieces.

This time... same thing!

I don't know since when, Cao Pi seemed to have a feeling embedded in his heart. Whenever there was a critical moment, as long as Zhang Fang was by his side, he would always feel an infinite sense of security.

It's like there is a sentence written all over Zhang Fang's face - As long as I'm here, there will be no surprises!

"quick…"

"Catch them—"

As Cao Pi was pulled up by Zhang Fang and ran quickly, countless officers and soldiers quickly chased them.

The night was like ink, and the moonlight was blocked by thick dark clouds. Only sporadic starlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the originally silent and deep alleys at the entrance of the village.

At the end of the alley, two figures sprang out quickly. They quickly found their horses and escaped at night.

Although the horse's hooves are light, they seem to be a bit heavy every time they land, as if there are invisible chains dragging them.

The figure on the horse...

One has a young and tired face, with confusion and uneasiness in his eyes. This is Cao Pi!

One has dark skin, as if he blends in with the night. If it weren't for his "Wuhu" accent, it would be difficult to notice his presence from a distance.

This is Zhang Fang!

Zhang Fang looked back from time to time, as if to confirm the distance between the pursuers and them again and again. They had escaped from the village and fled to a village road.

at this time…

"Pull the strings fully, prepare the repeating crossbow——"

A clear female voice chanted. It turned out that it was Guan Yinping who had led the officers and soldiers to block their only way, and the bows and crossbows were already ready to go.

"If you don't dismount, don't blame me for firing thousands of arrows——"

Guan Yinping also raised a repeating crossbow and pointed it at Cao Pi and Zhang Fang who were riding in front of them.

"Definitely..."

The horses seemed to be aware of the danger and cried out in alarm.

The sound of hoofbeats stopped, and the horses were afraid to continue galloping.

"what to do?"

Cao Pi was already panicking.

Zhang Fang looked around and saw that this was a hillside with a forest at the foot of it. His heart skipped a beat and he chanted loudly: "Master, vault, flip down..."

ah…

Only then did Cao Pi notice their location.

But... in the dark night, the woods under the hillside were bottomless. Cao Pi had no idea at all. How could he dare to jump?

It seemed that Cao Pi and Zhang Fang's horses stopped.

Guan Yinping immediately ordered: "Catch them——"

At this sound, many officers and soldiers quickly sprang out from behind the crossbowmen. They held sabers and approached Cao Pi and Zhang Fang step by step!

"Why are you still standing there? If you don't jump, all three of my houses in Luoyang City will be in ruins!"

Zhang Fang's voice chanted...

Then, in Cao Pi's sight, this ignorant mountain villager who regarded wealth as his life actually pounced on him like a vicious dog.

In the midst of lightning and flint, Zhang Fang actually carried Cao Pi down the hillside...

The two quickly rolled down the slope.

"ah…"

"ah…"

Incomparably shrill shouts came from the hillside... echoing on the empty village road.

The voice was getting farther and farther away, carrying a different kind of courage and determination.

Gradually... there was no more noise on the ramp.

On the contrary, it was Guan Yinping... Her face instantly turned pale, and her teeth seemed to be clenched tightly due to nervousness.

"Never, never..."

It is clear…

Guan Yinping was not worried about the enemy jumping off the wall to survive, but had other intentions, which was meaningful in the whole action.

"But...don't let anything happen!"

Guan Yinping groaned softly in a voice that only she could hear.

At this time, the surrounding officers and soldiers quickly gathered around, and the leader asked: "Miss Guan San? The enemy has fallen... should we... should we?"

It seems that this sentence was only half said, but even when the officers and soldiers spoke, they specifically looked at the woods below, and the implication was very obvious.

So high, so deep... If you fall like this, how can you still survive?

On the other hand, Guan Yinping, after a brief pause, quickly put away all the emotions on her cheeks. She ordered: "Chase, find a way to get down, search the dense forest, live to see people, dead to see corpses!"

…

…

blank!

What appeared in Cao Pi's mind was a blank. He only remembered that he and Zhang Fang fell down the hillside together.

His body was bruised and bruised by the impact of bushes and protruding rocks on the slope.

He felt...the air was filled with the smell of dust and blood.

The next memory is that the surroundings were completely silent, except for the occasional croaking of frogs and the gurgling sound of the stream.

pain…

Especially when the wound is soaked in water, the pain is even worse!

But, at least... this pain allowed him to open his eyes, at least... he could still realize that he was still alive.

This was a shallow stream, and the stream washed Cao Pi and Zhang Fang to the shore.

"Ahem..."

After several violent coughs, Cao Pi struggled to stand up. The multiple scratches on his body and the blood-stained wounds made him feel pain all over his body.

Even so, he thought... it was Zhang Fang who saved him. If Zhang Fang had hesitated even for a moment on the slope just now, I was afraid... I was afraid that Cao Pi would never have the chance to feel this pain again.

"Huh...huh..."

With a heavy exhalation, Cao Pi walked towards Zhang Fang step by step. Zhang Fang was lying motionless on the bank of the stream. The wounds scratched by the stream were particularly eye-catching. He... seemed to have no signs of life.

"Zhang Fang...Zhang Fang..."

Cao Pi shouted, he did not dare to be too loud, his voice was extremely trembling, and his heart was full of fear and uneasiness.

"Wake up, wake up... Zhang Fang, Zhang Fang... are you still alive? Are you still alive?"

Cao Pi almost exhausted all his strength.

He squatted down and tried his best to shake Zhang Fang's body, but there was no response from the other party. His heart began to sink, and despair surged into his heart like a dark tide.

But... ten breaths, twenty breaths, fifty breaths...

One hundred interest…

No matter how hard Cao Pi tried, Zhang Fang remained as motionless as a corpse.

"damn it…"

Cao Pi gritted his teeth and felt extremely sad when he saw Zhang Fang's appearance...

But more than this regret, he was even more desperate because without Zhang Fang, how could he return to Wei?

How could he stand and straighten his back and return to Wei Dynasty?

"Is... is everything over?"

"I...Is my vision of the crown prince just a dream after all?"

When Cao Pi was in despair...

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded in his ear: "Live...I'm still alive!"

Cao Pi suddenly raised his head and saw Zhang Fang's eyes opened slightly. Although his voice was weak, it was obvious that he had survived this disaster.

Cao Pi suddenly felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, as if he had found hope again from the abyss.

"Are you OK?"

He asked eagerly, with a hint of crying in his voice.

"I...I'm fine, I...I'm dead? What about my house in Luoyang City...?" Zhang Fang struggled to squeeze out a smile. Although his face was pale, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He turned his head with difficulty, looked around, and then said softly: "We can't stay here for long...the pursuers will definitely come, we must...must escape quickly!"

"It's all my fault..." Cao Pi couldn't hide the self-blame in his heart, "It was me who took the initiative to contact those Taoists... It was probably because of this that it was exposed. It's all...it's all my fault..."

"Stop talking about that!" Zhang Fang gritted his teeth, "Let's go first...go first...back to Luoyang, back...back to Luoyang..."

It seemed that because of his dedication to the house... his body burst out with new strength.

Even so, this made Cao Pi's eyes sore...

"Okay...ok..." Cao Pi also gritted his teeth.

Just like that...the two of them supported each other, even though their bodies were exhausted and scarred...

But as they supported each other, the unyielding faith that emerged filled them with strength. They began to look for a way out and moved slowly along the woods.

…

…

In the wine shop in Anlu City, Jiangxia, the dim lights swayed, casting mottled shadows.

In the corner, a man wearing a mask is sitting upright. His mask is exquisite and mysterious, with some unidentifiable runes carved on it, as if telling ancient secrets.

Through the doors and windows, you can hear his catchy voice.

"The human realm is indistinct, the immortal realm is vast, and the ghost realm is happy! When you are born, the immortal realm is precious, and the ghost realm is precious."

Speaking of which...the person who talked about "Tao Wen" was not a Taoist from Zuo Ci or Ge Xuan's "Alchemy" sect, nor was he a Taoist from Zhengyi, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect...

He wears a mask and looks young, but his identity is mysterious and his aura is powerful... The most important thing is that he often preaches in this wine shop at night. The words he preaches are catchy and exciting.

That's it...many of Ge Xuan's disciples would disguise themselves and come to this wine shop late at night to learn and teach.

Naturally, this news... also reached the ears of Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan. Although their purpose of coming to Jiangxia had nothing to do with preaching,... there were Taoist masters preaching here, and they still wanted to see and hear...

"Definitely——"

Accompanied by the neighing of a horse, a simple-looking carriage stopped in front of the wine shop.

Ge Xuan got out of the car first, opened the vehicle, and respectfully led Master Zuo Ci out of the car.

Jiang Juan also followed, as if... He was extremely clear about his mission. He was staring at Zuo Ci and this incident, so... Even if he asked about his teaching, where Zuo Ci was, Jiang Juan would follow him. Where to.

"Master, this is it..."

Ge Xuan pointed to the wine shop in front of him and said softly: "That young Taoist preaches here..."

Ge Xuan's voice just fell...

In the wine shop, the voice of preaching and teaching chanted again:

"——The path of immortality always brings good fortune, and the path of ghosts always brings misfortune; the high is pure and beautiful, and the sad songs are loud in the sky; I only hope that the way of heaven will be fulfilled, and I don't want the way of human beings to be poor."

hiss…

After hearing this sentence, Zuo Ci paused for a moment. He seemed to subconsciously open his mouth to explain this sentence, "A good immortal always brings good luck to himself, and a ghost always brings misfortune... He is high, pure, spiritual and beautiful, and his tragic song is loud in the sky..."

"Haha, those who cultivate immortality and attain Taoism are always naturally auspicious, while those who enter the ghost way... are often naturally evil. Therefore, those with high moral standards are naturally quiet and inactive... Therefore, their hearts are pure and they will not sing tragic songs into the sky. I hope that people in the world will only follow the Tao. Everything can be done by following; not wanting to be filled with human desires destroys the balance of heaven, earth, and all things...putting human existence into poverty and embarrassment! Haha...'Only the Tao is to follow', this Taoist friend's grand tone! It's not just the Tao, I'm afraid even Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, would be in awe after hearing these words!"

Following Zuo Ci's words, Ge Xuan added: "According to what the disciples said, this Taoist's incisive sentences appeared frequently, and he heard the Tao from them... He had a broad mind and solved his doubts... The disciples were curious about the identity of this Taoist friend, so they specially We sent people to investigate, but...because this is in Jiangxia, it is difficult to find out his background. The sect he belongs to...only his name can be found!"

"What?" Zuo Ci asked curiously.

Ge Xuan paused and answered truthfully:

"——Situ Zhong!"

Situ Zhong?

Zuo Ci paused for a moment and tried to recall the name in his mind, but no matter how he thought about it, he had never heard of this name in his decades of hearing.

In the end, he seemed relieved, shook his head and said with emotion: "People say... the great hermit hides in the court, the middle hermit hides in the city, and the small hermit hides in the wild. Now it seems that this statement is a bit biased!"

Having said this, he shook his head and stepped into the wine shop.

But when he first saw the masked fellow Taoist, he was still shocked...

Because...too young?

It seems that you are not twenty yet, right? At such an age... shouldn't he have such a deep understanding of "morality" that he would not be able to make such bold statements as "only follow the Tao"?

Could it be that... a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers?

Just when Zuo Ci was confused...

The masked Taoist seemed completely unaffected by his preaching and continued:

"——There are tens of thousands of ghosts in Quan Miao Mansion in Beidu. But in order to curb the calculations, the gate of life is cut off. A Ren sings the cave seal to capture Bei Luofeng, chants the demon spirits, and kills six ghosts. The weather is in a state of chaos. , my fortune is prosperous."

Undoubtedly... these words shocked Zuo Ci again.

It is no exaggeration to say that just this sentence made Zuo Ci's eyes widen and he exhaled in surprise, "What a sentence...the weather is in chaos, but my sun is prosperous."

Of course... Zuo Ci was just intoxicated by the majesty and turbulence of the questioning process. He didn't notice... that "fellow Taoist" who was talking eloquently... had inadvertently... looked at him at least three times.

——"Hehe, here we come, the fish is finally hooked!" 』

…

…

Jiangxia, outside Anlu City, there are dense woods.

Cao Pi and Zhang Fang supported each other and moved forward as fast as possible.

"Tap", "tap"...

Suddenly, the footsteps behind him were like a shadow, so urgent that it was suffocating.

Cao Pi could clearly hear the approaching footsteps and his own heartbeat.

This sound... was particularly loud in the silent night.

He was in severe pain all over his body. Because of the pain, his throat was extremely dry and he was very thirsty... But he didn't dare to stop at all, so he could only move forward with all his strength... forward...

He must escape from here before he can ascend to heaven!

Suddenly, as they passed a bush, a cold light pierced the darkness, followed by a sharp metal crash.

Cao Pi turned his head suddenly and saw a dagger firmly embedded in the treetop beside him.

The blade of the dagger shone coldly in the dim starlight, as if mocking his feeble struggle.

At the same time...the figures of the two officers and soldiers loomed in the darkness, approaching quickly like ghosts.

"Oops, I'm being caught up!"

Cao Pi realized that he had been forced into a desperate situation.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the fear in his heart, but the coldness had penetrated into his bones.

At this moment, another figure rushed out in front of him, and the cold blade... slashed directly towards him.

Cao Pi subconsciously turned sideways to dodge, but... it was too sudden, and the opponent's skills were extremely sharp. It was almost as if all his attention was behind him. This sudden attack... If he dodges again, there will be no time?

He almost watched helplessly as the raised blade fell down.

——"It's over, I'm really going to fall here!" 』

Just when Cao Pi was at a loss... to the point where he gave up resistance completely, and when he closed his eyes in despair...

"ah…"

The heartbreaking shout came from Zhang Fang's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a splash of flying blood...splattered Cao Pi's face...

Cao Pi opened his eyes in shock, and the scene in front of him was... Zhang Fang stood in front of him, blocking the fatal blow of the steel knife with his own arm.

"Pah...pah..."

Even in the dark night, Cao Piyou could see something flying away with a steel knife. When he looked carefully.

It turned out to be a small arm, and Cao Pi subconsciously turned his eyes to Zhang Fang's arm.

I saw only his right arm...the place where the upper arm and the forearm meet is full of blood...

It's bloody and bloody!

——"Zhang Fang...he is blocking the knife for me. Is he using half his arm to block the knife for me?" 』

Cao Pi was still murmuring in his heart...

"Ah..." Zhang Fang's painful neighing became even louder, but he seemed to grit his teeth and hold the severed limb with one hand. Blood was constantly flowing from there, and the whole scene was scarlet and terrifying.

But even at this moment, Zhang Fangyou shouted to himself: "Young Master, hurry up...run...run...run!"

——'He's still calling me to run away? 』

Only then did Cao Pi come back to his senses.

He realized that the danger had not been eliminated just because Zhang Fang had broken half of his arm.

Even...the danger continues.

"Run? Where to run? No one can escape!"

"If the traitor Cao Cao's son is captured alive, Master Yunqi will definitely give him a heavy reward, right?"

"Didn't Miss Guan San say that regardless of life or death... even the body will be rewarded heavily!"

The three officers and soldiers were talking while flashing their steel knives and stepping forward.

Cao Pi also flashed his dagger. He escorted the disabled Zhang Fang and retreated step by step.

Zhang Fangyou endured the pain and whispered: "Put me down, you run... you run..."

Cao Pi yelled at him, "You don't want the house in Luoyang City?"

"I..." Zhang Fang opened his mouth, but he just chanted the word "I". How could Cao Pi not feel his hesitation and hesitation?

only…

What's the point of saying this now?

run?

With Cao Pi so injured, could he escape again even if he was alone?

"Let's go together...no matter life or death..."

An officer and soldier issued an order...

Immediately, the three of them walked faster, and the steel swords looked more and more sharp under the moonlight. One of the blades was still stained with thick blood, which was bright red and terrifying...

Before his eyes, three steel knives were about to chop Cao Pi and Zhang Fang into pulp.

At this time...

"etc…"

A voice chanted from behind Cao Pi, and along with it, a vicissitudes of life middle-aged man walked out of the torch.

Look at the attire...they're friendly forces!

Look at the cheek, it’s Zhu Ling, the general under Guan Lin’s command now!

Sure enough, under Zhu Ling's instructions, the three officers and soldiers stopped in their tracks, and the steel swords were quickly retracted from their original height.

As if... Zhu Ling brought many soldiers, these soldiers were enough to easily and without bloodshed take down the "rebel" in front of him!

"My dear, General Zhu..."

An officer and soldier surrendered first...

The remaining two people raised their hands at the same time, "Greetings to General Zhu!"

Only Zhu Ling's command was heard, "Take it down..."

When the voice fell, his personal guards moved together and quickly captured Cao Pi and Zhang Fang who had completely given up resistance.

Immediately afterwards…

After Zhu Ling nodded with satisfaction, he slowly walked towards the three officers and soldiers in front of him. He asked, "Are you Miss Guan San's soldiers? This Cao Pi? Did you discover it?"

"Reporting to General Zhu, we are Miss Guan San's personal soldiers. We discovered Cao Pi's figure, so we set up an ambush and succeeded in the surprise attack..."

"Well done!" Facing the officers and soldiers' replies, Zhu Ling nodded slowly, then reached out and patted the leading officer on the shoulder, "Capturing Mr. Ni Wei is a great achievement. I will report to Guan San on your behalf." Miss, please also ask for credit from Mr. Yunqi! Wait for your promotion!"

"Thank you, General Zhu..." The three officers and soldiers quickly handed over their hands.

But just when they bowed their heads...

It was too late, but it was soon... Zhu Ling didn't know when a dagger appeared in his hand. He took action very quickly... and quickly inserted the knife into the chest of the officer and soldier in front of him!

This incident happened too quickly.

The other two people behind the officer and soldier had not yet reacted.

But Zhu Ling's personal guards were already prepared, and they took action almost at the same time. When they were unprepared... the daggers also sank into their chests at the same time.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Amidst the miserable tones, these three officers and soldiers who had thought that "for their great achievements, they would be promoted to official positions and titles just around the corner", their hearts suddenly tightened, their pupils opened to the maximum, and they stretched out their hands in a stern voice that was completely unbelievable and incomprehensible. …and then slowly fell down…

Even when they fell to the ground, their bodies still squirmed a few times, especially the incredible sense of sight.

Immediately afterwards, blood flowed out from their chests, and the bright red blood gathered into a pool of blood on their chests.

And this scene... also made Cao Pi and Zhang Fang widen their eyes.

"Zhu...General Zhu?"

Cao Pi exclaimed...

Zhu Lingze's brows tightened. He looked around to make sure no one had discovered him, and then he opened his mouth: "Don't be stunned, get out of here first!"

Within a moment... Zhu Ling took Cao Pi and Zhang Fang away.

Here... it seems that after a burst of wind and rain, tranquility suddenly returned.

It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that Guan Yinping arrived.

There are not many people around her, only three or four, and they were all female soldiers. Since they were in the Guan Family Army, they have been Guan Yinping's personal guards and are the most trustworthy people.

A female soldier reported to her truthfully: "There was a fierce battle here, and a broken forearm was left..."

Guan Yinping did not show any surprised expression. Huh, with a heavy exhalation, she asked: "Has the person left the woods?"

"left--"

Following the report from the female soldier...

Guan Yinping's eyes just turned to the three officers and soldiers lying in a pool of blood.

She shouted to the three officers and soldiers: "Everyone is gone, you can get up..."

It was only then that the three officers and soldiers got up from the pool of blood. It didn't matter if they didn't get up. As soon as they got up, the blood bags on their chests were exposed... and they were each pierced with a big hole. The hole was in the torch. It is particularly eye-catching under the light.

"Miss Guan San..."

The three of them bowed their hands to Guan Yinping.

The leader among them said: "According to Master Yunqi's instructions, we have left an arm of Cao Pi's entourage... However, we all have doubts. Since that person is one of our own, why should we do this?"

It seems that the question of this officer and soldier was also the question of the two people behind him, and even the questions of several personal guards around Guan Yinping.

It's just a joke...

It seems that there is no need to take action, right? He also broke off an arm!

This has a lifelong impact!

Who would have thought that Guan Yinping just exhaled deeply, and she pondered for a long time before she opened her mouth: "Actually...this arm was...he begged my fourth brother to chop it off! He begged me three times!"

ah…

Everyone was shocked.

Guan Yinping stopped explaining because she didn't understand...why Zhang Fang did this! Why was he willing to pay the price of an arm!

In her eyes...the price is too high, and the whole action is too crazy!

certainly…

For this action, perhaps only Guan Lin could understand Zhang Fang's motivation for such a "decision"!

because…

There are two profound reasons behind this resolution.

First, Cao Cao and Cao Pi are both suspicious people by nature, and their suspicion should never be underestimated;

Secondly, never underestimate Zhang Fang’s determination to avenge his uncle, his father, his hundreds of people, and the people of his city!

Every wrong has its owner, every debt has its owner, and some people...from the moment they are born, they exist for revenge!
