Lü Bu rode his horse and slowly came to the front of the carriage.
He looked at the silent carriage,
Suddenly, he was very curious about the thoughts of the person inside,
Especially after hearing his words, what would the man called an immortal do?
He got off the horse.
Lü Bu smiled and lifted the curtain of the side door of the carriage,
Looking inside, half of the people in the carriage were in the shadows, and the light entered from the door,
One could see the high bridge of the nose and the beautifully shaped chin.
This person was actually so calm?
Lü Bu was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Soon, he sneered and reached out to lift the other party's chin to see what this daring person looked like.
Just as his hand was halfway out, that person raised his head by himself.
The face that often appeared in Lü Bu's dreams was exposed to his line of sight. The corners of his mouth curled up into a familiar smile as he opened his mouth and said, "Yo!"
Lü Bu's pupils constricted, and he reflexively retracted his hand,
In the next second..,
He put down the curtain, turned around, and ran towards his horse. His hand had unknowingly pressed down on the mo sword at his waist.
Cao Cao, who was at the side, was dumbfounded,
He didn't understand why Lü Bu ran away in fear when he saw the person inside.
He only saw that the originally careless Lü Bu was no longer as calm as before,
It was as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after him, running desperately in this direction.
Could it be that he wanted to settle the score with him?
Cao Cao saw Lü Bu running towards him,
His first reaction was this,
He turned around and moved to the side,
He tried his best to blur his existence.
Who knew..,
Lü Bu didn't even look at Cao Cao when he rushed over. He rushed straight to the horse, the mo sword in his hand already out, and a handsome face expressionless as he ran.
Just as Cao Cao was feeling strange, he heard a sinister voice coming from the carriage in the next second.
"Little Bastard, where are you running to?"
A white robed figure rushed out of the carriage like a ferocious tiger. Cao Cao's pupils shrank. This was the first time he saw the usually cold and indifferent immortal smile like this. That smile made him tremble with fear, as if he would lose his life in the next second.
"Should I wait for you to beat me up if I don't run?"
Lü Bu was running away with an expressionless face. When he heard his father's words, he turned around and retorted before continuing to run away with all his might.
Xie Lige rose into the air. He was so angry that he laughed.
He activated the Cloud Ladder and charged towards Lü Bu. His entire body emitted a faint blue light. At first glance, he really looked like an immortal descending to the mortal world. However, this immortal had a ferocious expression on his face, as if he wanted to beat someone up.
"Run?
Do you think your father has wasted all these years?
Get your ass over here! "
There was a gust of wind behind him. Lü Bu felt that something was wrong. He dodged to the side and avoided his father's sword.
Xie Lige narrowed his eyes as he looked at the devilish brat's back. He laughed coldly. He spun the sword in his hand and countless runes appeared behind him. They rotated and flowed, forming a huge formation that landed around Lü Bu.
Lü Bu wanted to dodge, but he was unable to.
He landed in the middle of the formation.
"There is a problem with this formation!"
Lü Bu frowned. He could feel his limbs and stamina slowly depleting. However, his speed was becoming slower and slower.
Xie Lige also landed outside the formation. He laughed coldly, "Run. Why aren't you running anymore?"
Lü Bu's face was expressionless.
"I can't run."
"Can't run?"
Xie Lige clenched his fists, causing a crisp sound to ring out. He drew a sword with his right hand and laughed sinisterly, "That's good. Let your father vent his anger."
After he finished speaking, he walked into the formation.
The formation was used to trap people. It did not hinder Xie Lige's movements at all. On the contrary, he moved freely in front of Lü Bu and punched his son in the face.
Following this, from Cao Cao to the soldiers of the Cangyun Army, everyone was lucky enough to witness the great demon king in their hearts being beaten from the sky to the ground by an unknown man. They fled like a cat chasing a mouse, but they could not escape the clutches of the demon behind them. More importantly, they discovered that even after being beaten to this extent, Lü Bu did not fight back.
The younger Cangyun suspected that Xie Lige had used a spell. Otherwise, why would his general suddenly become so docile?
Shaken by this frightening thought, some of the Cangyun Army almost could not maintain their calm.
Some of the older members of the Cangyun Army had followed Dong Zhuo before, so they naturally recognized Xie Lige's true identity from his habit of beating people. Because their territory was in the Cangyun Army's camp, they were vigilant and afraid of causing trouble for the other party. Thus, they did not speak up to explain and allowed the younger members of the Cangyun Army to speculate.
Once they understood the identity of the person wearing the Daoist robe, the older members of the Cangyun Army actually relaxed.
That was the case. In the past, when the young general made a mistake, the general also chased after his son like this. They were not worried at all about what would happen to Lü Bu.
It was not like they had not beaten him before.
As long as the general vented his anger, the young general would be able to escape. In any case, the general who loved his son would not be too ruthless.
Lü Bu, who had already run a lap around the formation, realized that he really could not get out. He simply gave up struggling and turned around to face Xie Lige, who had a cold smile mixed with anger.
"I'm dead. Are you trying to rebel?!" Xie Lige did not hold back and directly used his internal energy to beat his son.
Lü Bu was silent.
The sound of the wind whistling in his ears was very familiar. In the past, when he made a mistake, his father beat him like this. He reflexively shrank back and prepared to hug a nearby tree. However, he missed and his entire body rolled to the ground. Only then did Lü Bu realize that he was not in Dong Manor, but in Liangzhou City.
Then, then he was beaten again.
He did not run anymore.
So be it.
Cao Cao saw that Lü Bu was being beaten over and over again. He did not even fight back. His entire face was bruised and swollen, but he still stared at Xie Lige with an expressionless face, as if he was afraid that the latter would suddenly disappear. He felt that he was hallucinating. He looked at Xi Zhicai in disbelief and asked, "That's Lü Fengxian?
Did I see wrongly? "
No matter how hard he tried, he could not connect the pitiful man who was whimpering like a puppy with the evil wolf who was usually terror-stricken.
Xi Zhicai's face was also stiff, and his heart was in turmoil. He was so shocked that he even forgot to reply to Cao Cao's words.
It was only after a while that he reacted.
"Is that so?" Xi Zhicai was in a state of sleepwalking, and said, "I feel like I'm living in a dream."
The man who was being beaten up was the man who had almost frightened him just now. He was also the man who made him gnash his teeth and curse him to fall into the toilet every time. Xi Zhicai was unwilling to admit this fact.
The two sleepwalking masters looked at the two people in the sword array with wooden faces. They were as stiff as statues, making people wonder if their souls had left their bodies.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai watched with stiff bodies for a long time after Xie Lige beat them up. Every time they watched, they doubted their lives and wished that they could poke their own eyes blind. Just as they were about to make up their minds to escape, Xie Lige put away the sword array and walked out with Lü Bu, who had been beaten into a puppy.
"Thank you, Master Cao, for taking us in." Xie Lige thanked Cao Cao with a refreshed expression.
Cao Cao stared motionlessly at Lü Bu, who rarely showed a trace of grievance. He was doubting his life when he heard Xie Lige's words and replied blankly, "It's okay."
He felt that the scene just now was completely worth the ticket price.
Xi Zhicai reacted before his master. He forced himself not to look at Lü Bu and tried to pretend that he was talking cheerfully and wittily, and said, "Immortal, are you ready to leave?"
Xie Lige chuckled, and said, "You seem to understand everything."
"Immortal, you were talking about yourself. The son of your old friend must be the famous Lu Fengxian. And your identity …" For the first time, Xi Zhicai changed the way he addressed him to be more respectful, and said solemnly, "is General Dong, who died in battle in Liangzhou."
Who was Liangzhou Lü Bu's father?
There was no one in the world who didn't know him. He led a Cangyun Army by himself and destroyed the Xianbei army outside the city of Liangzhou. In the end, he died of exhaustion.
Such a martyr was worthy of Xi Zhicai's respect.
It had nothing to do with seniority or wealth. It was just that this person was worthy of Xi Zhicai's heartfelt admiration.
Although he didn't understand why a dead person was still alive and could even stand in front of him and beat up his son, Xi Zhicai didn't want to think too deeply about it. The truth of some things was often very terrifying, and he was just a mortal.
Hearing this, Xie Lige understood that Xi Zhicai didn't want to care too much. He looked at the smiling Xi Zhicai with admiration. For the first time, he extended an olive branch, and said, "You are very good. Do you want to come with me?"
As soon as he said this, the confused Cao Cao immediately woke up. He looked at Xie Lige with great vigilance. What was going on? He had just been in a daze for a while, and this person had started to poach him. Then, he turned to look at his own strategist.
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said seriously, "A gentleman will die for his bosom friend. My lord, I will never forget your kindness in recognizing my worth."
It could be said that without Cao Cao, there wouldn't be the current Xi Zhicai.
Perhaps in the future, there would be countless wise overlords who were fair, tolerant, and cared about the world. However, none of them were people that Xi Zhicai would be willing to sacrifice his life for.
"Okay, when you think it through, you can come and find me at any time." Xie Lige wasn't angry. He said something that would give Xi Zhicai a way out.
Xi Zhicai smiled but didn't say anything.
Xie Lige looked at Cao Cao again. His eyes were unfathomable. Cao Cao changed into his usual attitude, neither high nor low. It was just enough to let people know his existence.
"It was my fault for hiding my identity. I owe you a favor."
Xie Lige took out a jade pendant from his chest. Black iron surrounded the suet jade. Looking closely, it was a white lion with angry eyes.
Cao Cao took the jade pendant in a daze.
He heard a deep and calm voice say, "When you reach Liangzhou City, you can use this to find me. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I can help you."
After that, Xie Lige took his son back to the Liangzhou army. Some of the Cangyun Army saw him and lowered their heads to welcome the return of their leader.
Cao Cao looked up and silently glanced at Xie Lige's back. He silently held the jade pendant in his hand and put it away. After knowing that the Liangzhou army had left, he asked Xi Zhicai in a low voice, "That immortal's identity can't be …"
Xi Zhicai answered with certainty, "Dong Zhuo."
Crackle!
Cao Cao's entire body froze.
After Xi Zhicai finished replying, he realized that something was wrong. He turned to look at his lord, who looked like he was sleepwalking. He said helplessly, "That person already said it."
Was it too late to be surprised?
Cao Cao said quietly, "… I didn't hear clearly."
