Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 60 Assassin Cao Cao Cut His Beard and Abandon His Robe

Jingzhou City is full of flames, and Jiangxia, which is separated by a river, is naturally still covered with snow, wind and moon, and Qinhuai is full of romance.The south hall of the painting boat is brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard endlessly. Even if the lord of Jiangdong has just died and the governor is fighting bravely, it can't stop the wealthy merchants and desperadoes from continuing to have fun.

Guo Jia simply wore a green robe with flowers, half lying on the concubine's couch in the side room with a relaxed expression, and a smile on his face was incompatible with the dignified atmosphere in the room at the moment.Cao Zhang lowered his head, his short black hair covered his face, and he was concentrating on picking the longan for Guo Jia.Xi Zhicai's financial resources can be seen in the fact that he can still eat longan produced in the scorching heat in ninety-nine cold days.

"Junior Brother, Sun Ce died, but Zhou Yu was unharmed. In your opinion, what is the victory or defeat of Zhou Gongjin's night attack on Jingzhou?"

Guo Jia half-closed his eyes and threw the de-nuclear longan meat into his mouth, and waved his hand lacking in interest: "Whether the battle of Jingzhou wins or loses, Jiang Xia will not be a shelter. Let's not talk about you, a ship full of hopelessness." How long can we hide the pure heart talisman. Even the few dead soldiers who died inexplicably in the city a few days ago also conveyed a big bad news to us, I suspect that Cao Mengde has already arrived in Jiangxia."

"Does my brother have the evidence of the divination, or is it just because of his understanding of Cao Cao?" Xi Zhi then understood that Guo Jia never said meaningless nonsense, because he was too lazy and too casual.

"Since Senior Brother asks this question, it must have been done through divination. I don't know what is good or bad." Just like Xi Zhicai knows Guo Jia very well, Guo Jia also knows his fellow seniors very well. I believe that with his prudence, Definitely won't do anything unprepared.

Xi Zhicai was not surprised that Guo Jia would throw the question back. He lowered his head and drank a sip of hot tea before telling the result: "It's just a normal hexagram, so I asked my junior."

"Since it's a flat suspension, I'm afraid we should make a plan early. In troubled times, stability is the most rare thing. I don't want to fall into any karma. With Zhang'er here, everything is enough. It's easy to break Wen Hou and Cao Mengde The cause and effect. Now I am undoubtedly the one who cherishes life the most."

"I don't know what Junior Brother thinks of Fusang Kingdom?" Xi Zhicai gently put the teacup on the desk, but because the man in black beside him quickly took away the coaster, there was an unexpected crisp sound, Xi Zhicai seemed to have never heard of it, with an expression on his face The smile never faded.

Guo Jia didn't expect such a gloomy and silent man to behave so naively in front of his senior brother, so he immediately nodded his head heavily: "According to senior brother, Fusang must be excellent. Rich as a country, isolated from the world, the most important thing is If something goes wrong, someone will support us, so it’s very comfortable.”

"Junior brother is just bad at this. Whenever he speaks too transparently, I'm afraid he won't know if he offends others." Xi Zhicai jokingly cast his eyes on the man in black on his left, with a smile on his lips On the contrary, the meaning is bigger.

"With a senior brother around, even if he has offended the entire Fusang country, Feng Xiao can rest easy. In Mr. Shui Jing's school, the senior brother has the best vision. No matter what he chooses, he can always easily compare us. It's not like Zhang'er, who has brute force, I'm afraid he still can't get out a whole ingot of gold."

"The ghost Guo Jia is a money fanatic. If I spread the news, how many people in the world would believe it?"

Guo Jia casually put the half-drinked cold tea into Cao Zhang's palm, and smiled on his exquisite and perfect facial features: "I don't know if others believe in filial piety, but Cao Mengde will definitely not believe it. The so-called gentleman loves money in a proper way. The money in his hand is seldom clean, even if I wanted it again, I would never dare to take it."

The man in black next to Xi Zhicai seemed to have heard some brilliant joke suddenly, and burst into a thunderous and loud laughter without warning: "Zhicai, you are really interesting, and Prime Minister Cao got it by collecting rent and selling land. The money is not clean, could it be that the money in the hands of you, a skin-meat business brother, is clean instead?"

"Hattobu, you have misunderstood. In Fengxiao's eyes, except for Cao Ziwen, I am afraid that even the money he earned is not dirty. He is flirting in different ways. How can you understand with your stupid head. Or It’s better to keep your mouth open, and make me ashamed.” Xi Zhicai gave Hattori Heizo a slap on the head, but he yelled out, “I haven’t changed this bad habit after so many years, I’m really worried. .”

After such an endless conversation, Hattori completely dispelled Guo Jia's doubts, and asked solemnly: "I wonder if Junior Brother Fengxiao is willing to go back to the Fusang Islands with me to live a fairy life?"

Guo Jia poured the tea re-warmed by Cao Zhang with internal force into his mouth, closed his eyes and fell into Cao Zhang's arms, whispering softly, "As long as I can take Zhang'er with me, I will be happy to serve you wherever you go."

The news of Sun Ce's death had already spread throughout Jiangdong, but Baiyunlou and Nanguan were unexpectedly not affected.Even though the musician with superb piano skills has disappeared, the private room in Baiyun Tower is still overcrowded every day.Cao Cao took four or five flying fish guards to the counter and put down a large gold ingot, and asked the shopkeeper Wei Zhong: "Shopkeeper, I don't know who the luthier who played the piano in the building was from?" Where did it come from?"

Wei Zhong quickly put the gold ingots on the counter into his sleeve robe, and his plain features all laughed together: "The luthier came up from the boat by the river, presumably he was originally a musician in the south pavilion. Thinking that the South Hall is so powerful, a little musician even shocked the lord and the governor, with this ingot of gold, I can go to the South Hall tonight to have a good time and have a good time."

Cao Cao frowned impatiently, obviously no longer willing to listen to Wei Zhong's nonsense.As soon as he turned around, Wei Zhong held up the gold ingot, and with his five fingers forming claws, he ruthlessly grabbed Cao Cao's Tianling Gai!A flying fish guard behind Cao Cao first hit Wei Zhong's chest hole with his elbow, and Wei Zhong shrank under the tall counter flexibly with a short body.

Cao Cao was furious, and kicked the counter across the face, Wei Zhong took advantage of the situation and pushed the counter hard.Cao Cao's toes moved slightly and had already slid several feet away like a ghost, and a ray of silver light shot out of thin air from the table of the four immortals by the window.Cao Cao was shocked, and a donkey rolled over in embarrassment and escaped.Xiao Wu and Qin Jiu had already flew to fight with the Flying Fish Guards brought by Cao Cao, and with the three hidden guards from the Ghost Face Battalion supporting them, they could only compete with the Flying Fish Guards in front of them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao turned his head and walked outside Baiyun Tower.A short sword, like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, struck towards his face strangely, and it was Ma Chao who had been waiting for a long time, gaining momentum.Cao Cao's martial arts are exquisite and his moves are gorgeous, but Ma Chao's moves are desperate, hurting the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. He retreated back to the Baiyun Building and joined the Flying Fish Guards.

Although the Flying Fish Guards were extremely skilled in martial arts, they had never encountered such a master of concealed weapons as Qin Jiu, and they were always wary of using their weapons.It is already very difficult to distract Cao Cao from time to time to protect the distraught Cao Cao.The four looked at each other, and pushed Cao Cao out of the window despite their respective injuries: "My lord, go!"

Ma Chao kept staring at Cao Cao, and when he saw him throwing himself out of the window, he immediately chased him out.Cao Cao got on his horse, and Ma Chao's short sword slashed off a section of his cloak. Cao Cao gasped and asked in astonishment, "Who is your Excellency, and why are you ambush here?"

Ma Chao sneered and didn't answer, rubbing his body and rushing forward.If it is one-on-one, with Cao Cao's martial arts, as long as he fights steadily, Ma Chao has absolutely no chance.But Qin Jiu, Xiao Wu and the others harassed Cao Cao one after another, and Cao Cao, who had no way to escape to find Guo Jia immediately, was very annoyed. He made frequent killing moves. When Ma Chao came out to fight again, Cao Cao's most exquisite martial arts were almost the same. After being watched, the two of them shifted the battlefield to horseback during the stalemate.

Although Cao Cao's martial arts are good, he is the Lord Cao Wei after all, and he usually travels in a carriage.Horseback riding skills are naturally far inferior to Ma Chao, who practiced riding and shooting hard since childhood.For a while, there was a lot of danger, and it was really embarrassing.In just a quarter of an hour, the cloak was torn and the crown was cut into two pieces. Under the shock of his heart, he didn't care much, and shouted anxiously: "Xun Yu, save me!"

Before Cao Cao could finish his sentence, a blood-red pennant appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, heading straight for Ma Chao under the hood.Ma Chao's whole body was shrouded in shadow, his blood was surging, and his face was red.He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, flung out the piece of silk satin left by Xiu Yuan with all his strength, and rolled down from the horse's back with all his strength, unconscious.

At the same time, Xiuyuan's sleeve robe, which had just returned to Jiangxia's mansion, was automatically raised without wind.Lu Bu clenched his palm into a fist and grabbed it hard in the void. Ma Chao appeared out of thin air in mid-air and smashed hard on the ground!Xiuyuan quickly drew a few Buddhist names on his forehead and whispered something before Ma Chao came to his senses with a pale face: "Cao Mengde was rescued by magic! He should still be in Jiangxia!"

Xiu Yuan gently shook his head while pressing his blue-veined arm: "Taoist magic can shrink the ground into an inch and travel thousands of miles a day. Since that person can save people from the air, he can naturally do these tricks. This time I didn't Here's the chance." Ma Chao's sweaty cheeks flushed, and he passed out again with a muffled grunt.

Lu Bu carried Ma Chao, who had passed out on the ground, into the room, and conveniently lost some real energy to heal his wounds, with a serious expression on his face: "Ma Chao's injuries are not clear, and we may not be able to rush back to Xiliang for the time being. It seems that Cao Cao's side There are still many experts, if we only fight spells, I am afraid that we are not opponents now, and this is really troublesome."

Before Xiuyuan could reply, he suddenly jumped into a hidden guard of the Ghost Face Camp from the window, and said anxiously, "Master Hou, the boat on the riverside suddenly had a sail and was about to set sail. Guo Jia just chose this Time is running, and people have to wonder if they have any special source of information. When Cao Cao arrived at Jiangxia, he left, and whether to send someone to chase him or not, please decide quickly."

Xiuyuan pressed his forehead with a headache, and shook his head helplessly: "Bring everyone back, there are too many facts tonight, Lord Hou and I have to think about it carefully. Send a few people to take turns guarding the back to Xiliang Big boat, don't make any troubles at this juncture."
