Chapter 59 The most complex character
The dimly lit yet majestic Senluo Palace.
Kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the stairs are the people standing at the top of the Wei State.
There are six of these people, both men and women.
A man may be handsome, strong and muscular, or have a ferocious face.
A woman may have bright eyes and white teeth, or be extremely beautiful, or be petite and delicate.
No matter which one of them is, they are all outstanding people. No matter where they are, they are also famous and powerful.
But even such a group of people knelt on one knee in an orderly manner at the bottom of the stairs, because the middle-aged man with long hair sitting on the magnificent throne in front of them was a world-renowned hero and their "king".
This middle-aged man was wearing scarlet blood armor, had dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his pupils were a strange dark red, and he had a full forehead. He had long black hair that was neatly combed behind his back. Although he didn't say a word, he had an air of dominance!
His name is Cao Cao.
The supreme king of Wei State, and among the ranks of heroes, he also has a terrifying nickname: Bloody Hero.
Rumor has it that this hero has slaughtered nearly tens of thousands of soldiers so far. Because his heroic skills are too brutal, his body is always stained with the blood of the enemies in every battle, so he was given the title of "Blood Hero" -
"This time, we were able to annihilate the Shu army in the lower lane and even kill Liu Bei. You have made an invaluable contribution. I am very pleased. I believe that with your help, the unification of the three-way territories will be just around the corner!" Cao Cao supported his short-bearded chin with one hand and looked with satisfaction at the group of capable generals he had recruited with great effort at the steps below.
"This great victory is all thanks to the wise strategy of King Wei. We are just following orders and do not dare to claim any credit for it." A man with an iron mask on his face responded in a deep voice.
"Adian is right, all this is thanks to my godfather! It's a pity that in the bottom lane, my Hujia Music failed to stun the big villain named Zhuge Liang, and he still escaped into the void at the critical moment. Humph!" A child's voice followed, and it sounded quite cute.
"Don't be discouraged, Wen Ji. There will be a day when you will get your revenge." Looking at his lovely adopted daughter, Cao Cao revealed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth. It was the smile of the devil.
"King Wei, I just don't understand why you have to sound the horn to call us back? Wouldn't it be better to let us take advantage of the situation to break through the first defense tower in the bottom lane of Shu Kingdom?" A white-haired man with an eyepatch on his right eye asked with a little dissatisfaction.
Cao Cao glanced at the muscular man and said, "General Xiahou, I understand your desire to duel with a strong man. Although you joined my army and I promised to fulfill your wishes, but!"
After a pause, a sharp light flashed across Cao Cao's dark red pupils: "I advise you not to underestimate Zhuge Liang. Perhaps you have all heard of the legendary Jixia Academy, but you may not know that Zhuge Liang was once a student there. He was even regarded as the greatest genius in the history of Jixia. Even Zhou Yu of Wu State cannot be compared with him, let alone you?"
"Hmph, King Wei has overestimated Zhuge Liang! He is just a mage-type hero. My Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji can teach him a lesson in minutes! What's more, there are five of us?" An arrogant voice sounded with disdain.
“Haha.” Cao Cao looked at this unruly subordinate and shook his head, like an elder who laughs at a childish behavior. “Indeed, normally, no matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is, he is not strong enough to resist the encirclement and suppression of five heroes at the same time. But don’t forget that you who just tried your best to kill Liu Bei and severely injure Zhang Fei are all in very bad condition. You were ‘born’ late and have never seen the power of the Heavenly Book. You won’t understand if I tell you too much. I can only tell you that once your condition is too bad, you have to stay away from Zhuge Liang as much as possible. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be annihilated!”
"Is this Zhuge Liang so powerful? I've made up my mind! I must duel with this man!" A hint of fanaticism appeared in the white-haired man's left eye.
"General Xiahou, please be patient. It is not easy to kill Zhuge Liang. We need a complete and thorough plan. This requires long-term planning." Cao Cao didn't finish his words.
“Report! Report! Report!!”
At this moment, a disheveled figure rushed into the majestic palace screaming.
That was the soldier who was in charge of delivering the message. Perhaps because he was too panicked, he stumbled and fell to the ground in the middle of the hall. The huge palace was instantly silent.
Seven pairs of sharp eyes of different colors looked at the soldier who had fallen to the ground, still groaning in pain without realizing it.
"How dare you! Your Majesty the King of Wei, how dare you make such a loud noise? Do you want to live?" A pleasant yet cold voice suddenly sounded, and a creepy chill was faintly spread in the air.
The soldier got up from the ground, looked at the tall purple-haired woman in confusion, then looked at the five figures kneeling on one knee beside him, and his face instantly turned pale!
The soldier knew that these people were heroes who were second to none in the Wei State. In a hurry just now, he didn't pay attention to them before he came in!
"I deserve to die! Please forgive me, Lady Luoshen!" The soldier was so scared that he crawled on the ground, shaking all over.
The temperaments of the strong are often capricious, especially those supreme heroes who hold supreme power and are extremely arrogant. In their eyes, the soldiers are as insignificant as ants. Over the years, the number of soldiers who have been killed for accidentally offending the heroes is probably no less than four digits!
"Zhen Ji, please step back."
Just when the soldier was sweating profusely and was about to be frightened to death by the silent, oppressive and murderous atmosphere around him, a deep voice rang out.
Then, with the sound of steady footsteps, a pair of scarlet combat boots appeared in the soldier's lowered field of vision.
The soldier raised his head tremblingly, as if looking up at a mountain, and looked up at the blood-red figure standing in front of him, who was intimidating without even being angry.
"King of Wei" the soldier almost cried out out of awe and fear.
but--
What greeted the soldier was not the butcher's knife as he had imagined, but a pair of strong arms.
Cao Cao helped the disheveled soldier up from the ground, stared at him for a while, then stretched out his hand and tidied up his messy clothes and armor with a serious face.
"???" The soldier looked at the king who condescended to tidy up his clothes and armor with a confused face. He was stunned for a long time and even forgot his fear.
"The soldiers of my Wei State are the most elite soldiers among the Three Kingdoms. No matter what the circumstances, they must have a calm mind and the quality of not being startled even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of them. Do you understand? Even if the sky falls, won't I be there to hold it up? Why are you panicking?" Cao Cao reprimanded the soldiers seriously like a kind father.
These words were so powerful and touching, just like a bowl of hot chicken soup, which made the soldier kneel down on the spot!
Did you see it? Did you see it? This is the benchmark of maturity, this is the demeanor of a king! At this moment, the soldier's admiration for Cao Cao is like a surging river, endless, and like the Yellow River flooding, unstoppable!
"I am able to follow the King of Wei because of the merits I have accumulated in my previous life. From now on, even if I have to sacrifice my life and go through fire and water, I will definitely repay the King of Wei for his kindness!!"
"Get up, get up." Cao Cao smiled gently and waved his hand, helping the soldier up again. Then he asked, "You came here in such a hurry, do you have any military information to report? It's okay, tell me, even if it's a big deal, I'm here for you!"
"Yes!" The soldier wiped the tears from his face and said seriously: "Just now when I went to patrol the road, I found that our first defense tower had been destroyed by the main force of Shu."
"What the hell!! What did you say?!"
Thanks to Haifeng and Zhou Xiaochuan for the 100 yuan reward. I feel a little sleepy, so I'm going to sleep.
