My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 385 The swordsman blocking the way, Xie Yuwei

Yanzhou, Yecheng.

Cao Cao is ready to send his troops northward.

As long as the Wei family fights Yuan Shao, he will immediately lead the army and first take Qinghe and Wei counties south of Jizhou and close to Yanzhou.

Leaving aside Wei Jun, Qinghe County has tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, and it seems that the autumn harvest is about to come, so it's not cheap for me.

However, what Cao Cao never expected was that.

Yuan Shao actually retreated.

After taking down two counties in Youzhou, Yuan Shao actually retreated!

Cao Cao was puzzled, and in the end there was only one reason that could explain it: Yuan Shao, no, you are useless if I give you a chance.

However, the slap in the face soon came.

Yuan Shao can't beat Wei Cheng, but at this stage, he still has no difficulty in beating Cao Cao.

Knowing that Cao Cao had assembled troops in Yecheng, Yuan Shao was afraid for a while, and then stationed troops in Qinghe County. This wave of operations directly confused Cao Cao.

···
Hedong.

July seven.

The red lanterns are hung high, and the street is full of festive atmosphere.

When you walk into a store, the shopkeeper will greet you warmly and offer two pieces of wedding candy at the same time.

This day was a big day for Wei Cheng to marry Xie Yu, and everyone in the city rejoiced.

Weifu Dongyuan.

The housekeeper, Wei Mu, was busy directing the maids to serve tea and water, and there were waves of guests in the hall.

As the groom's official, Wei Cheng naturally had to go out to entertain, and the uncles of several families couldn't be absent.

Patriarch Wei Haoduan sat at the head, chatting and laughing with Cai, Yang, Fan and other aristocratic families, holding his eldest grandson in his arms.

Dabao and Erbao have been two months old. Although they are still unable to speak, they are lively and lovely, with extraordinary agility.

The other side.

The second uncle, Wei Min, and the fifth uncle, Wei Hao, were chatting with several guests from aristocratic families who came from afar, and their words were inseparable from the conflict of interests.

These aristocratic families are far away from the east of the river and are closely connected with various industries of the Wei family.

Wei's caravan can travel across the country thanks to their multi-faceted management. Of course, all of this is profitable.

It's like a bar of soap.

In Hedong, you only need a Gewu ticket and twenty Wen, and you can buy two yuan.

But in other places, although you don't need a physical ticket, you need to pay ten times, or even a hundred times the money.

This part of the benefits, the Wei family accounts for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% naturally belongs to these aristocratic families.

Gazebo off the foyer.

Wei Cheng sat at the main seat, behind him was Dian Wei who was like an iron tower, and Xu Chu who was always on guard.

The two of them were a bit funny today. Because of the relationship of welcoming their relatives, they both wore bright yellow gowns. The neckline and cuffs of the long gowns were embellished with moiré red silk, which could be regarded as best man's clothes.

Xu Chu was fine, but Dian Wei was not at ease. It always felt strange to wear the literati's long gown.

The three of them were not the only ones in the pavilion.

Zhang Fei, Huang Xu, Tai Shici, and Le Jin, the four of them also wore best man clothes. Fortunately, the four of them are considered young, not as shy as Dian Wei, and even wearing this long gown, the appearance of the four of them immediately improved a lot.

"Not bad, not bad, you have worked hard to accompany me today." Seeing the arrival of the four, Wei Cheng laughed loudly.

The four clasped their fists together and saluted, and took their seats one by one.

Zhang Fei counted and frowned, "Are the six of us enough?"

Wei Cheng nodded and said: "That's enough, those who go to greet the bride, not to snatch the bride, what do you need so many people for?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Young master, that's not right. There are so many people, and there are ostentations. If you want me to tell you, just let Lao Xu and the others come back. The Longshan Army is on the left and the Tiger Soul Army is on the right. That scene is enough .”

Wei Cheng smiled speechlessly.

After exchanging pleasantries, the butler Wei Mu came to inform.

"Second Master, it's almost time."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, got up and walked out of the gazebo first.

Everyone in the hall seemed to have also received the news, and came out one after another, chanting congratulations.

Wei Cheng returned the salute one by one.

The main gate of the Wei Mansion was wide open.

When Wei Cheng appeared, the street was already full of people, and many female relatives of aristocratic families hid in it, wanting to have a look at the elegant demeanor.

Wei Cheng's attire today was carefully designed, even at Hao Niang's begging, he put on a little makeup.

The 26-year-old Wei Teng has already reached the crown. The white jade gilt hair crown on his head is shining in the sun this time, and the flowing hair is draped behind the back. The quality of the hair makes many girls feel ashamed.

The clothes on his body are also different from the current one. Because of the hot summer, what Wei Cheng wears is not brocade and satin, but an inner lining made of ice silk cloth, and a coat made of silk tulle as thin as a cicada's wing. I can't even feel a trace of weight on my body.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wei Cheng seemed to descend from the sky in a red rosy cloud.

The breeze gently lifted the wide sleeves, bringing up red ripples, matching with the fair skin, handsome features, and deep and indifferent temperament, just one glance would make people blush and dare not look directly.

Outside the gate of Wei Mansion, the carriage has already been prepared.

Although animal power is prohibited in Anyi City, Wei Cheng still has this privilege.

After boarding the carriage, Xu Chu and Dian Wei sat on the shaft of the carriage one on the left and the other on the right.

On both sides, Zhang Fei, Huang Xu, Tai Shici, and Le Jin rode their respective mounts, guarding one side.

Behind him, several carriages followed, all of which were betrothal gifts prepared by Wei Cheng, as well as some customary things.

It's just that someone suddenly shouted, "Then, that coachman is Mr. Xu!"

"If you say that, isn't that big bald head the God of War, Hua Zongbing!?"

The voices of the discussion among the crowd became louder and louder, so that Wei Cheng, who was sitting in the carriage, could hear it.

Wei Cheng lifted the curtain of the car, looked back, and couldn't help but smile.

Xu Huang put one foot on the shaft of the car and dangled the other in the air, looking like an experienced driver.

It wasn't just him, Hua Chuan, Hao Zhao, Longshan Army's Lao Gao, Liu Datou, Zhao Feng... each drove a carriage full of bride price.

Zhang Fei, who was riding on the horse, said hilariously, "My lord, this surprise is not bad."

Wei Cheng smiled slightly, put down the curtains, and the smile on his face became even brighter. This should be brothers, not just the relationship between subordinates and subordinates.

"Go to welcome the relatives first, and then talk about their guilt of leaving their posts without authorization."

"what?"

Zhang Fei was close, and he heard it clearly. He turned his head to look at Xu Huang and the others, silently mourning for them for a while, met the gaze of the silver carp, and said with his lips: "It deserves it."

The silver carp scratched its big bald head: What do you mean?
···
Wei Mansion is in the north of the city, and Xie Mansion is in the east of the city.

In order to have fun with the people, the procession to welcome relatives has to circle around and pass the bell tower in the center of the city.

at this time.

On the eaves of the bell tower, a thin figure appeared at some unknown time, holding a long sword without a sheath in his hand, and the hilt was even made of rags.

On the glazed tile behind the swordsman, an old woman yawned.

"Son, are you really going to kill yourself?"

The swordsman nodded slightly, sighed and said, "It's hard to follow a man's words. Since he agreed at the beginning, even if he doesn't want to now, he can only repay his kindness like this."

The old woman sneered, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you want to come here for your mother, you can simply kill Wang Yun. Killing him is much easier than killing this envoy."

The swordsman frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "After all, he saved your and my lives."

The old woman curled her lips, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a burst of mysterious music from far to near.

"Are you coming?" The swordsman turned his face away, and unconsciously let go of the long sword in his hand.

Seeing this, the old woman sighed heavily, raised her head and said: "Since you want to repay your kindness, I can't stop you, old woman. Forget it, I will go to the Xie Mansion. If you are captured alive, remember to blackmail the envoy with this." Jun, maybe you can still escape."

The swordsman's face changed drastically, he turned his head to stop him and said, "Old woman, you don't want to die?"

Unexpectedly, it was already too late, the old woman slid down from the bell tower along the rope prepared earlier, and replied: "If you die, then the little girl will never live..."

The swordsman frowned, he didn't like this woman's behavior very much, it would not hurt his family, not to mention that the daughter of the Xie family hadn't started yet.

However, it was too late for him to stop the old woman.

Seeing the old woman disappearing into the crowd flexibly after going downstairs, he only hoped that the old woman could live a good life.

The swordsman withdrew his gaze, raised the long sword in his hand, and stroked it lightly.

Just when the welcoming team arrived at the bell tower.

The swordsman jumped up and landed lightly on the eaves of the next floor, one floor after another, and finally landed firmly in the center of the square.

The leading musician was startled by the person who jumped down suddenly, and his progress also stopped.

The next moment, the bodies of the two Dao Angzang came from behind, and they were Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were always on guard.

Since Wei Cheng was assassinated, the two spent every day in self-blame. Although they felt a little sorry for Wei Cheng, they did look forward to the appearance of another assassin so that they could make up for their mistakes.

"Who's here?" Xu Chu stepped forward, his eyebrows frowned, and his eyes were fierce.

The swordsman tightened the long sword in his hand, looking at the two people, there seemed to be no brilliance in his eyes, but just so lightly, as if strolling in a garden, towards Dian Wei and Xu Chu, no, to be precise, it was Wei He went to the carriage where Cheng was.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were ignored, looked at each other, furious at the same time, and shouted, "How courageous."

Although the two of them didn't wear weapons, they each had good fist and kick skills, and they punched the swordsman straight in the face.

The swordsman's eyes remained indifferent until his fist was about to touch his face.

"Ok?"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei turned their heads back at the same time after the punch missed.

And the swordsman did not know when he had already walked behind them, the long sword was still tilted sideways, as if it had never moved.

"Come on, Zhongkang!"

Wei Cheng roared suddenly, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Puff, chi~
Two streams of blood splattered on the spot, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei hurriedly covered their necks, but the blood couldn't be stopped at all.

The expressions of the two were exactly the same, they were both stunned and confused, so they didn't see the opponent's sword movement at all.

"Bah~"

"Take your life!"

The scene of Xu Chu and Dian Wei spitting blood made Zhang Fei, Le Jin and the others tear up their eyes, and waved their horsewhip to kill the swordsman.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng shouted, "Don't move."

Zhang Fei and Le Jin tightened their reins and looked back suspiciously.

Wei Cheng jumped off the carriage directly, stretched his hands forward, and made a grabbing motion.

The swordsman seemed to sense a hint of danger coming. Facing the joint attack of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, he was still expressionless, and suddenly rolled on his side at this moment, as if he was avoiding some fatal injury.

Wei Cheng glanced at him annoyedly, and then pressed his hands down.

Immediately afterwards, a miraculous scene appeared.

I saw Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were clutching their necks and bleeding to death in a hurry, miraculously disappeared in place.

Fortunately, not many people noticed this scene. Ordinary people had already fled in panic when Xu Chu and Dian Wei were injured.

Wei Cheng's face was pale, his eyes closed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the two people floating in the space.

Everything in the space is static, as long as the two of them are not dead, they can still be saved.

The swordsman looked at Wei Cheng incredulously, and said for the first time, "What are you doing?"

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, he was frightened and angry at this moment, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​being too aggressive with the swordsman.

Looking at the gradually empty Bell Tower Square, Wei Cheng took out the Sand Eagle again, and the killing intent in his eyes could no longer be described in words.

After being assassinated several times, the Bodhisattva is still angry, not to mention that he is still a person.

bang, bang, bang~
Wei Cheng fired three shots at the swordsman.

At this time, the distance between the two is actually not that close, let alone 20 meters.

But Wei Cheng was stunned and missed a single shot. Fortunately, the swordsman seemed to have some scruples in his heart because of Wei Cheng's method just now, so he didn't rush forward immediately.

This also bought time for Xu Huang, Hua Chuan, Zhao Feng and the others behind.

The three of them were different from Zhang Fei and the others. They had just arrived in Hedong in the morning, and they all carried their weapons with them.

"My lord, are you alright?" Xu Huang asked.

Wei Cheng touched his aching shoulder. With the previous experience, he didn't dislocate this time, but it still hurt a little.

"I'm fine, are you sure you can take him down?"

Xu Huang raised his head to look at the swordsman, and said in a deep voice: "I can only try my best. He moves very fast. He must be a master of swordsmanship. I didn't even see what he was doing just now... By the way, Zhongkang and the others?"

"They're fine. I used a little trick to get them out first."

Xu Huang was far away just now, and he didn't see how Xu Chu and Dian Wei disappeared. He just thought they were carried away, so he nodded, looked at Zhang Fei and Le Jin beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk to Xu Chu and Dian Wei with bare hands." He fights, find a few people from the city guards, and put on stab-proof suits, hurry up."

The four of Zhang Fei nodded, as if they had found their backbone.

As for the swordsman, he looked at Wei Cheng with an inexplicable expression. He was really frightened by the miraculous disappearance of those two people just now.

He didn't care at all about the actions of Xu Huang and others, and he didn't even glance at them.

It wasn't until Xu Huang and the others had formed an army that he suddenly said, "Oh no, the old woman won't kill people, right?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, and even slapped himself in frustration.

"Mr. Wei, I didn't intend to be your enemy. What I did this time was out of necessity. I know that I will die today, but right now your little lady is in danger. Only I can save her, you see?"

Wei Cheng frowned, he didn't intend to be an enemy, he had no choice but to, this person said so much, he only heard the second half of the sentence.

"Are you still doing something to my family?"

The swordsman looked embarrassed, "Uh, this, it's... I won't be able to explain it clearly in a while, anyway, you should go and have a look."

"Then you have to save your life first!"

Wei Cheng was so furious that he raised his hand and shot twice.
