The fire at the entrance of the valley was burning and the smoke was thick. The air in the valley seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, and the smoke seemed to be endless. The heat outside the valley seemed to be airtight. Gan Ning couldn't help but curse,"Motherf * cker, these dogs are really despicable. I will definitely kill them all to vent the hatred in my heart!”
Cao Ang sighed and said in a deep voice,""Now that things have come to this, we can only have a chance of survival by riding our horses and charging out. Otherwise, you and I will both be trapped here to death.”"You sons of bitches!" Gan Ning harrumphed and frowned.”
Cao Ang shook his head and said," We can't do that. We only have two people now, and we're trapped in the fire. Although the enemy is a motley crew, they still have a lot of people. After we get out, there's only one way."”
"Then what do you suggest?" Gan Ning asked with a frown.”Cao Ang said in a deep voice,"To capture the enemy, we must first capture the leader. To defeat the enemy, we must first kill the general." Now that things had come to this, the only way to resolve today's situation was to kill Huang Tu!”
"Forget it! This was the only way! I'll give it my all today!" After saying that, the two of them no longer hesitated. They immediately turned around and mounted their horses. They covered their heads with their clothes and robes, and then they galloped toward the valley entrance. Although the horses were afraid of fire, they still charged out of the valley in pain under the heavy whipping of Cao Ang and Gan Ning. It instantly plunged into the raging flames.
Seeing that he could break out, Gan Ning couldn't help but feel anxious. Once he got out, he would tear Huang Tu into pieces. However, he was so angry that he used too much strength to hit the horse. Under Gan Ning's strong whipping and the disturbance of the fire, the horse suddenly leaned back and stopped moving forward. Instead, it began to jump around.
Cao Ang was about to charge out of the fire when he heard Gan Ning's earth-shattering roar, which was filled with pain and despair.
"What should we do? Go back?" Cao Ang instantly turned around and saw his warhorse galloping behind him. A moment of hesitation flashed through his heart, but he still immediately turned his horse back. He was not a kind person, but he would never leave his comrade in the lurch!
Gan Ning, on the other hand, was suffering in the fire on his horse. He had been so talented that he had wanted to dominate the world, but who would have thought that he would end up like this? Cao Ang suddenly shouted,"Water Ghost Head! Jump over here, we'll ride a horse out!”
Gan Ning looked up in surprise and saw that the horse had already turned around. He looked excitedly at Cao Ang, whose robe was on fire, and cursed,"I don't need you to save me. Get lost!”When he finished speaking, Cao Ang's horse was already on the ground, one of his hands grabbing onto his burning robe.
"Hahaha!" Huang Tu laughed excitedly. Looking at the flames at the entrance of the valley, he couldn't help but laugh at the sky."Jinfan thief! Today, I've treated you well by turning you into a roasted mud bird!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a warhorse flew out from the bonfire. The person on the horse had already used up his robe to cover his head. He threw the robe away and then rode his horse towards the bandits!
The bandits couldn't react in time and were thrown into the inner group by the warhorses. For a moment, they couldn't help but be in chaos. Huang Tu hurriedly shouted,"Stay steady! Stabilize! Stop this person! Don't panic!”
After a while, the bandits reacted and surrounded Cao Ang, who was riding a horse. Huang Tu looked at Cao Ang, who was covered in burns and said coldly,""Very! The Jinfan thief didn't escape, but you did. I'll make sure you die a worse death than Gan Ning!”
After he finished speaking, he saw Huang Tu laughing at the sky. However, he did not see a black shadow quickly shuttling through the crowd. In an instant, it arrived in front of Huang Tu's horse. Then, it suddenly jumped up and shouted angrily,"Donkey! Who said I'm dead! Today, I'll let you see the King of Hell!”
Huang Tu looked at the burned Gan Ning in horror. Before he could finish his sentence, a cold light flashed across his eyes. In the last moment of his life, Huang Tu's gaze swept across the starry sky. He rolled three times on the ground and slowly fell to the ground.
The sky was dark, and although there was fire, the bandits didn't see Gan Ning, who was hanging on the horse. When Cao Ang rode into the chaos, Gan Ning took advantage of the chaos to get off his horse. After a short period of chaos, he sneaked up to the horse and killed it in one blow!
"Huang Tu is dead! Whoever doesn't agree, come up and take care of them!" Gan Ning leapt onto his horse and tossed the corpse into the air. As he landed, he slashed the corpse in half with his broadsword. Blood splattered all over his body, making him look like a demonic god.
A group of bandits, who were mostly civilians, had never seen such a blood-red formation. For a moment, the crowd loosened up, and a few of them were frightened and wanted to escape. Just as they were hesitating, they suddenly heard a loud shout from afar. A group of more than a thousand people rushed over from afar. The leader was a general holding a huge axe. He was wearing a blue robe and locked armor. Who else could it be but Xu Huang?
"General Xu Huang! Cao Ang is here!" Looking at his troops from afar, Cao Ang's heart was finally relieved as he hurriedly shouted. As expected, Xu Huang vaguely heard someone calling for him and hurriedly led his army over. He held a huge axe and charged into the enemy's formation, killing more than a hundred bandits in an instant. It was as if the wind had swept through the ruined building, and the battle was over in an instant.
"Xu Huang's rescue was late, please forgive me, General!”Xu Huang saw Cao Ang and hurriedly dismounted to pay his respects. Cao Ang only hurriedly returned the greeting before asking,"General Xu, I've been separated from Zhong Da, Dian Man, Xu Yi and the others. I don't know where they are, but I'm afraid they are looking for me.”
"General, don't worry. I'll send someone to look for him!" Xu Huang said.”Cao Ang nodded and frowned,"Yuan Shu's army has also come to Yi Yang, and they have less than a thousand men. General Xu and I will quickly go and wipe them out.”Xu Huang looked at Cao Ang, who was injured and tired, and said hesitantly,"Eldest Young Master, your injuries?" Cao Ang waved his hand and said anxiously," It's nothing. It's just a small injury. General, come with me quickly."”
"I will go with you!" Cao Ang was stunned. He turned to Gan Ning, who was burning up, and asked in confusion,"Water Ghost Head, what are you doing here?”Seeing Cao Ang's expression, Gan Ning couldn't help but raise his head and shout,"I only went back for revenge, not for your face. What can you do to me?”"Good!" Cao Ang chuckled. Then let's go together!"
The army immediately returned to the village. The remaining Fort Masters were currently gathered in the dangerous houses in the village. They were fighting before they died. Who would have thought that Xu Huang's army would arrive? Annihilate Yuan Shu's traitors!"
Cao Cao's soldiers shouted in response and bravely rushed to the front, launching an earth-shattering attack on the Yuan army that was clearly in a mess. On the left flank was Xu Huang, dressed in a blue brocade robe and armor. He had a high-spirited aura and held a mountain splitting axe in his hand. It weighed more than 60 pounds and was like a brilliant splash when he waved it. He charged straight into Yuan's army, as if he was invincible. Wherever the elite cavalry passed by, the place would be broken like water and no one could stop him.
On the right flank, Gan Ning and Cao Ang wielded a large saber. He was like a cloud of fire, and the anger in his chest accompanied the saber in his hand. He slashed like a gust of wind, as if he had entered an uninhabited realm.
A night of slaughter passed. The sun rose gently in the wind. The remaining Yuan soldiers in the village were almost wiped out. Lei Bao, who had turned around, was defeated by Xu Huang. As he was fleeing, Gan Ning slashed him in the back and he fled in panic. Sima Yi, Dian Man, and Xu Yi were also found. They later met Hu Che 'er and had been searching for Cao Ang nearby. They fought with Yuan's army several times, and Dian Man and Xu Yi were all injured. When they saw Cao Ang, the two of them immediately knelt on the ground and begged to die, but Cao Ang helped them up. Cao Ang admitted that he had recklessly entered the thief's nest without regard for his status. For the young him, this battle had clearly made him grow up. It also made him understand that he should respect his status and not act rashly.
After comforting Dian Man and Xu Yi to recuperate in the camp, Cao Ang finally came out. He felt that his body had finally recovered some strength after a night of hard work. He stretched his body and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Where is the water ghost head now?
Suddenly, he heard someone cursing not far away." Damn it, you're really disappointing. You didn't even choose a good place to hide. You actually hid in a manure pit. You're really embarrassing me!"”Gan Ning cursed as he staggered toward Cao Ang with his only remaining subordinate. When they arrived in front of Cao Ang, they saw each other at almost the same time. They were stunned for a moment before pointing at each other and laughing.
The two of them had been on the run for the entire night, and now they had the time to examine each other's sorry state. Gan Ning's eyes were brimming with tears as he laughed."Brat, why are you in such a state? His face was swollen and there wasn't even a clean spot?”
"Shui Gui, how are you any better than me?" Cao Ang retorted without showing any weakness. Your hair is all burnt out, and you're still laughing at me?”Just like that, the two of them stood in the middle of the camp and laughed. When the soldiers beside them saw this, they couldn't help but be stunned. When did this Eldest Young Master, who had always been magnanimous, become a lunatic?
Cao Ang didn't care at all. What he was experiencing right now was that there was no chaotic world, no deception, and the joy of surviving a disaster with the innocence of a child that had been buried in this era not long ago.
Gan Ning looked at Cao Ang, who was laughing heartily. He rubbed his burnt bald spot and cursed,"Laugh, laugh all you want! When I return to Baling, I'll see who you can laugh at!”
Cao Ang and Gan Ning's laughter stopped as if it had been forcefully stopped. The camp fell silent, except for the rustling of the flag's horn as the wind blew. Gan Ning's subordinate, who was hiding in the manure pit, also looked at Gan Ning suspiciously, then at Cao Ang, confused.
Gan Ning looked at Cao Ang and suddenly realized that he would soon have to say goodbye to this kid and go his separate ways. With their identities, it might be difficult for them to meet again.
Cao Ang also felt an inexplicable reluctance to part with him. It wasn't because he knew Gan Ning's future achievements that he wanted to win him over. It was an indescribable friendship.
"Water Ghost Head, are you going back so soon?”After a long silence, Cao Ang finally broke the silence. Gan Ning said,"That's right. I came here to say goodbye to you. There's no banquet in the world that won't come to an end. You have been making noise in my ears all night. I have to go back and find some peace. I'm leaving now. Your martial arts skills are just average. You have to be careful when you go out in the future.”
Cao Ang smiled and nodded." Don't worry. No matter what, it's safer than you, a water ghost, messing around on the river."”"Bullshit!" Gan Ning spat. He didn't even say a few good words before he left! I'm leaving. If you need anything, come to Baling and find me. See you again!”After saying that, he didn't turn back and turned around to leave with his subordinate.
Cao Ang looked at Gan Ning's burly figure and thought back to what had happened last night."Water ghost!" Gan Ning's feet stopped and he turned around."Why are you calling me again? Don't be so wishy-washy and annoy me!”
Surprisingly, Cao Ang didn't retort. He only said in a deep voice,"Gan Ning…Brother Xing Ba, don't go back to Baling. To be honest, being a pirate is not a long-term solution. I think you should also understand that it's chaotic times now. Why don't you do something grand and spectacular? It's better for you to stay. Although I'm not a wise ruler, we're brothers in need. I won't treat you badly.”
Gan Ning paused for a moment before thinking. Although Cao Ang's words were almost identical to Zuo Ye's, or even better than the last time, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Gan Ning could tell that Cao Ang was not lying. After a moment of thought, Gan Ning whispered,"I still have nearly eight hundred brothers in Baling. I can't leave them behind!”
"Let them all come to Xudu. Cao Ang swears that he will find a good home for them!" Cao Ang said seriously.”Eight hundred men wasn't a lot, but it wasn't easy to arrange. If they didn't do well, Cao Cao would become suspicious, but in order to take Gan Ning in, Cao Ang had to do everything!
After a moment of silence, Gan Ning suddenly said,"A man of his word. You said it yourself. I didn't beg you. Since you've agreed, don't go back on your word.”
Cao Ang laughed in his heart and replied,"Since I've already promised you, I won't go back on my word!" Your 800 subordinates, even if this Cao is a dog taking mice and meddling in other people's business.”
"You're meddling in other people's business?" Gan Ning was intrigued at first, but after a moment of thought, he snapped,"Good boy! You're calling me a rat in a roundabout way!"
