    "Aman, our identity has been exposed. I wonder if these white-eyed wolves reported our whereabouts to the court beforehand. We can't stay here!"

    Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and when he opened his eyes again, they were filled with coldness, and his whole body exuded a kind of indifference that made people afraid to touch him.

    "Well. Leave."

    Cao Cao walked step by step, the blood around him dyeing his boots red.  It made his steps seem particularly heavy.

    Cao Cao got on his horse, and without looking at Niuhe Village again, he led his army and galloped away in the direction of Hulao Pass.

    Huang Er, who had rushed back to Niuhe Village with a team of court soldiers and horses with a happy face on the morning of the arrival, was shocked when he saw blood-stained corpses all over the village.  Seeing this, the general of the imperial court knew that Cao Cao must have escaped from Niuhe Village. He was about to turn his horse's head and pursue him immediately, but Huang Er ran in front of him and blocked his way.

    "General, general. It is clearly written on the wanted notice that anyone who has any information will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. I don't know"

    The general smiled coldly and looked at Huang Er condescendingly.

    "Everyone in your village is dead. But I don't see any sadness in you. Are you really open-minded?"

    "Haha, General, you are joking. These people are incompetent. I obviously brought them a big opportunity, but they didn't know how to grasp it, and they ended up like this. I didn't blame them yet. I let the big fish Cao Cao go and took them  It¡¯s better to just let the corpse express its resentment. How can you feel sad for them!¡±

    Just when Huang Er was about to continue, the general suddenly raised his spear and pierced his head with one spear.  Huang Er still had a sinister smile on his face before he died. His body slowly fell to the ground, and blood surged from the hole in his head.

    "Bah! Death is not a pity."

    The general spat at Huang Er's body with disdain, muttered something, and then led the army out of Niuhe Village.

    And Cao Cao, who had successfully diverted the attention of Dong Zhuo's pursuers, exposed his whereabouts because of a moment of benevolence.  Therefore, in the Hulao area, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses kept coming.

    Cao Cao deeply understood what it felt like to be surrounded by soldiers. After that, he continued to encounter Dong Zhuo's pursuers along the way. During several pursuits, there were only less than twenty men under his command, and he also had many soldiers.  Cao Cao was injured everywhere, and one of the most dangerous times was when a hidden arrow shot suddenly. If Xiahou Dun had not blocked it with his hands, Cao Cao would have been killed.

    Cao Cao's face was pale, his mouth was dry, and his shirt was stained red. Xiahou Dun, who was next to him, had injured his right hand last time and could only hold the sword with his left hand. Three more soldiers following him could not hold on.  I fell off my horse and could no longer open my eyes.  Cao Cao and his entourage had not drank a drop of water or eaten half a grain of rice for several days, and all of them were injured and bleeding. Those who could persevere did so with a strong spirit.

    When Cao Cao and his party walked halfway, there happened to be a pass in front of them. The guard at the pass saw that Cao Cao and his party were poorly equipped and looked disgraced, so they became suspicious and led their troops to surround Cao Cao.  At this time, Cao Cao was unable to escape anymore. At this time, the wound occurred and he fell off his horse.  Xiahou Dun stared fiercely and shouted sadly. He saw that the pass was tightly surrounded by soldiers and horses, but Xiahou Dun would never leave Cao Cao, so he had no choice but to capture him.

    After the generals at the pass captured Cao Cao and his entourage, they were sent to the county magistrate in a nearby county.  After the county magistrate met Cao Cao, he did not immediately send anyone to send the news to Luoyang.  Instead, a doctor was called in to treat Cao Cao.

    After Cao Cao woke up, the county magistrate asked people to find food to satisfy the hunger of Cao Cao and his party.  After receiving treatment, Cao Cao felt much better physically. After eating, he felt a little better.

    "You all go out and guard. I have something to say to this person."

    The county magistrate waved his hand to the jailers behind him. The jailers did not dare to disobey the order and left one after another.

    "Cao Cao, I heard that the Prime Minister treats you well. Why do you bring disaster on yourself? If you follow the Prime Minister, with your ability, wouldn't you be able to get glory, wealth, power and official positions with just a few clicks?"

    Cao Cao leaned against the wall, his eyes weak but sharp.  He sneered and looked at the county magistrate indifferently.

    "Humph. If you want to kill or behead, just do it directly. Don't mince words here. What kind of person I am, Cao Cao, how can I join the same trend as Dong Gou, who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors and is unjust!"

    After the county magistrate looked at Cao Cao for a while, he suddenly knelt down and said his name.  This person's surname is Chen Minggong and his courtesy name is Gongtai.  After Chen Gong learned that Cao Cao had assassinated Dong, he was very happy and sincerely convinced of Cao Cao, but at the same time he was worried about his safety.  Therefore, I have always paid attention to Cao Cao's whereabouts.

    Today, he happened to meet Cao Cao. He immediately expressed his sincerity and wanted to follow Cao Cao.  After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked about Chen Gong's family.  ListThe palace replied that they are all within this county.  Cao Cao did not want Chen Gong to abandon his family in order to follow him, so he immediately asked Chen Gong to go home and pack his bags. He picked out the guard tonight, took his wife and mother, and left with his troops all night.

    Chen Gong heard that Cao Cao cared about his family, and became more determined to follow Cao Cao. After discussing with Cao Cao, he went home and prepared to go home.  At three o'clock in the night, Chen Gong mobilized the guards, found a carriage to accommodate his mother and wife, rescued Cao Cao and others, and fled out of the county.

    "Ah, hide it. We are running for our lives! As Chen Gong drags his family with him, they will inevitably be dragged down by them."

    Xiahou Dun rode his horse to Cao Cao's side and whispered in his ear.  Cao Cao glared at him and knocked back what Xiahou Dun wanted to say.

    Because of the relationship with Chen Gong's family, Cao Cao and his party would inevitably be a little slower. If Cao Cao hadn't been surrounded by Xiahou Dun, who was as brave as a tiger, and had repelled several groups of small numbers of pursuing soldiers, I'm afraid that Cao Cao and  Chen Gong will fall into prison.

    After two days of walking, the group was less than half a day away from Hulao Pass.  Xiahou Dun observed the terrain around him and suddenly pointed at a place and said.

    "Aman, look. I remember that Lu Gong's village is nearby. Lu Gong treats you like his own son and will never betray you. Why don't we go to Lu Gong's village to rest for a day, make some supplies, and then ask Lu Gong  Borrow some men and rush to Hulao Pass to meet up with Mr. Xun You and Cao Ren. In this way, our escape career is over."

    "Yeah. That's fine. Father Lu and my father are sworn brothers, and they have loved me the most since we were young. Today I am in trouble because of my righteousness to assassinate Dong, so he will definitely not ignore me."

    The name of the Lu father mentioned by Cao Cao is Lu Boxe. From hearing Cao Cao call him Lu's father, you can tell that the relationship between the two is not shallow.  Cao Cao and his party rushed to the gate of Luzhuang. Luzhuang covered an area of ??dozens of acres and was the largest village within a hundred miles.

    The guard at Luzhuang's house saw a pair of men and horses approaching. He immediately recognized Cao Cao and quickly walked into the village to report.  When Cao Cao arrived, Lu Boshe, who was about fifty or sixty years old and had white hair and simple but elegant clothes, came over with an anxious look on his face.

    "Aman, I heard that the court is looking for you. You must have suffered a lot by looking at your disgraced look. Ah, why are there so many blood stains on your body? Get off your horse quickly and let the old man take a look."

    After Lu Boxe said this, he ran to Cao Cao's horse and grabbed Cao Cao's hand with great distress. Cao Cao dismounted quickly. Before he could say anything, Lu Boxe kept reaching out to touch the blood-stained areas on Cao Cao's body and kept asking questions.  Cao Cao's injury was expressed with concern and pain.

    "Father Lu, don't worry, Aman is not seriously injured. It's just that the soldiers under Aman's command are exhausted all the way. They want to stay at Father Lu's house for one night. They will leave on their own tomorrow. I wonder if Father Lu is willing?"

    "Oh! What are you talking about, kid? The old man has always told you that no matter when, as long as you are willing to come over, Luzhuang is your home, Cao Ahao. Judging from your breath, you must be exhausted. Come home quickly.  Rest and rest.¡±

    Lu Boshe held Cao Cao's hand tightly and pulled Cao Cao towards Zhuangzi. Xiahou Dun, Chen Gong and others also entered Luzhuang one after another under the leadership of Luzhuang's servants.

    Lu Boshe ordered his servants to find dozens of sets of clean clothes for Cao Cao and others to change into, and then ordered his servants to slaughter the pigs and sheep in the village in preparation for entertaining Cao Cao and others.

    After Cao Cao changed his clothes, he thanked Lu Boxe repeatedly, but Lu Boxhe waved his hands repeatedly and scolded Cao Cao with a smile for seeing the outside world. After going out to meet the world, he didn't look like a family member anymore.

    And Lu Boshe later asked about Cao Cao's escape process. Hearing the thrilling points, he would turn pale with fright and couldn't help but hold Cao Cao's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that Cao Cao would suddenly disappear in front of him.  Then, when he heard that Chen Gong had saved Cao Cao, he actually saluted Chen Gong on the spot to thank Chen Gong.

    How could Chen Gong dare to accept such a great gift? He quickly helped Lu Boxe and was about to speak when a man who looked somewhat similar to Lu Boxe walked in from outside the hall.

    But when the man saw Cao Cao, his expression changed on the spot. His eyes first flashed with a trace of strong disgust, and then darkened again.

    "Haha, long time no see, Joong Ki. How have you been in recent years?"

    When Cao Cao saw this man, his face lit up, he stood up, held his hands in his hands and smiled.

    This man is the son of Lu Boshe, named Lu Zhongji.  When Cao Cao was a child, he lived in Luzhuang for a short period of time, and he and Lu Zhongji were childhood friends.

    "Hmph. What can I, a little person, do? Compared with you, Cao Mengde, who is known as a capable minister in troubled times and a famous hero in troubled times, I am far behind. No, Aman assassinated Dong Xiangguo some time ago.  , causing trouble all over the city, your reputation as Cao Mengde is getting worse day by day.??People lift it in their mouths.  "

    "Presumptuous! When did I teach you to speak in such a weird way! Of course you can't compare with Aman. Aman has been ten times better than you since childhood. I often hear many teachers talk about Aman.  Give him a thumbs up and call Aman the best among men!

    ¡°You, you have been idle all day long and don¡¯t know what is right or wrong.  If I had one ten thousandth of Aman's ability, I would die with my eyes shut now!  "

    Under the scolding of his father, Lu Zhongji's face instantly became extremely ferocious. Lu Zhongji's eyes widened wildly, his whole face was shaking, and his breath was hot.

    "You old man!! You have been comparing me to this Cao Ah Man since I was a child! You criticize me everywhere!! Everywhere in my body is unbearable, and I am disgusted by you everywhere!!

    Could it be that I am a bastard you picked up?  And is this Cao Aman your biological son?  !  !  "

    Lu Zhongji roared in his heart, and the resentment accumulated over the years was about to explode.

    "Father Lu, this is wrong. Zhongji's talents are by no means inferior to mine, but they have not been revealed. I believe that Zhongji will definitely achieve a reputation that makes Father Lu proud in the future."

    Cao Cao's words did not reduce the resentment in Lu Zhongji's stomach at all, but in fact made him stronger.  When Lu Zhongji heard this, he felt that Cao Cao was adding insult to injury and ridiculing him.

    "That's enough! I have been considered by my father to be inferior to Rucao Ahao since I was a child!! Anyway, I am an insignificant little person, how can I dare to be compared with a big shot like you. I will leave now, so as not to make my father feel an eyesore!!"

    Lu Zhongji flicked his sleeves, turned around and left angrily.

    ¡°You, you!! You, this!!¡±

    Lu Boshe was so angry that his white hair almost stood up. He chased after Lu Zhongji, pointing at his back, and the word disobedience was about to blurt out.  However, Cao Cao grabbed him and instead went to put in a good word for Lu Zhongji.

    "Father Lu, Zhongji is just angry for a moment, or he is like this because he is worried that Aman will bring harm to Luzhuang. It is understandable that he hates me, but Aman has not thought enough. He will wait for my men to rest.  After a while, he immediately left Luzhuang."

    A trace of sadness flashed across Cao Cao's eyes, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind the scene of Lu Zhongji as a child in Luzhuang when he was a boy, with a runny nose, chasing after him and calling him brother affectionately.  At that time, Lu Zhongji admired him very much, but for some reason, time passed and when he returned to Luzhuang after more than ten years apart, Lu Zhongji actually felt resentful towards him, as if he regarded him as an enemy.
