Chapter 2-Meeting Cao Cao on the Road）
The person who ran out of the forest shouting was none other than Zhuge Yi.
Initially, Zhuge Yi wanted to set up camp in the forest and take a nap before continuing on his journey tomorrow.
However, just as he lay down and before he could fall asleep, he heard the sound of a tree branch breaking.
Zhuge Yi woke up immediately.
He suddenly looked towards the forest.
Under the moonlight, Zhuge Yi saw a few men with sticks in their hands. They were as thin as bones, and their eyes were green with hunger.
Robbery was definitely not the case.
Zhuge Yi didn't have any enemies.
The result was obvious.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, war broke out everywhere. The common people were in dire straits and did not have enough to eat. It was common for them to exchange their children for food.
Zhuge Yi instinctively felt that these brothers did not want to kill him, but to eat him.
At the thought that he was about to be roasted or steamed, Zhuge Yi immediately ran away.
He squeezed out the last bit of strength from his thin body.
Zhuge Yi's shout made Cao Cao jump.
Fortunately, Xu Chu was behind him.
Xu Chu took a step forward and shielded Cao Cao behind him, like a human wall in front of Cao Cao.
With Xu Chu in front of him, Cao Cao was no longer so flustered.
Xu Chu, Cao Cao's first guard, was in charge of the guards.
During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had bribed the people around Cao Cao in order to defeat him.
He also sent twelve top-notch experts to assassinate Cao Cao.
The twelve of them entered Cao Cao's tent under the lead of a sharp guard.
However, they encountered a piece of equipment that blocked their way.
All twelve of them had been killed by Xu Chu before the guards arrived to provide support.
From this, one could see how terrifying Xu Chu's strength was.
The person Yuan Shao sent to assassinate Cao Cao was definitely not a mediocre person.
But even so, he still could not get close to Cao Cao because of Xu Chu.
Therefore, as long as Xu Chu was in front of him, Cao Cao had nothing to worry about. He even took the time to look at Zhuge Yi, who had run out.
Assassin?
It didn't seem like it.
Who would send such a thin assassin?
And he was shouting before the assassination.
Xu Chu had the same thought.
It was not that Xu Chu looked down on Zhuge Yi.
His equipment could take on a hundred people with such a figure with one hand.
When he saw five or six skinny guys chasing after Zhuge Yi, Xu Chu immediately understood what was going on.
"My lord, there's an 80% chance that these starving people are going to attack this kid!”Xu Chu said in a muffled voice.
Cao Cao nodded.
This was not uncommon at all, so there was nothing strange about it.
When the five or six starving people who rushed out of the forest saw Xu Chu, they stopped in their tracks.
Because they stopped too quickly, they bumped into each other and almost fell.
After getting up, she ran away without looking back.
These starving people were not fools.
Looking at Xu Chu, who was wearing armor and emitting a ferocious aura like a small mountain, they knew that this fellow was definitely not someone they could afford to offend.
In fact, it was because Zhuge Yi was thin and looked easy to bully.
Otherwise, if it were a normal person, these hungry people might have to think twice!
The hungry people were scared away.
Zhuge Yi was so tired that he sat on the ground and panted heavily. However, his small eyes that were shining brightly were still wandering around the two people in front of him.
What a strong guy!
Zhuge Yi was shocked. This guy's physique was definitely comparable to that of a shark.
Standing behind this burly fellow was a middle-aged man who was about 1.7 meters tall and had a full beard.
"Lord, how should we deal with this person?" Xu Chu looked at the harmless Zhuge Yi and asked Cao Cao, who was behind him.
If he had not been shocked by the kid in front of him, Xu Chu would have ignored him.
My lord!
Zhuge Yi widened his eyes and his heart skipped a beat.
This guy who was as big as a small mountain actually called the person behind him his lord?
Zhuge Yi was not stupid. He knew that these two people were not ordinary people.
Looking at the camp in the distance with fluttering flags, Zhuge Yi had an 80% guess.
This bearded man was not tall, but he had an aura that Zhuge Yi could not describe. Could he be Old Cao?
"Forget it, Zhongkang, let's go back!" Cao Cao ignored Zhuge Yi.
However, Zhuge Yi heard the words Zhongkang clearly.
Everyone knew that Cao Cao had a fierce general by his side. He was known as Hu Chi, also known as Hu Hou, Xu Chu.
Xu Chu, Chen Liu has been a man, the word Zhongkang!
Since this guy was Xu Chu, the person behind him must be Cao Cao!
What should he do?
This was simply a heaven-sent opportunity!
How could he attract Cao Cao's attention?
Zhuge Yi thought hard and his eyes suddenly lit up!
There it was!
"Two warriors, take care. I haven't thanked the two people who saved my life!”
Zhuge Yi struggled to stand up from his clothes and bowed slightly.
Eh?
Hearing the voice behind him, Cao Cao stopped in his tracks and turned to look.
If it were an ordinary person, they would be scared stiff when they met Xu Chu.
This skinny and weak kid wasn't scared? He even stood up to thank her?
"No worries!"
Cao Cao was curious, but Zhuge Yi was too ordinary to attract Cao Cao's attention.
However, Zhuge Yi, who was not far away, did not want to give up just like that.
"I haven't thanked the two warriors for saving my life. Please stop for a moment and let me thank the two of you for saving my life!”Zhuge Yi spoke again.
Thank you?
Cao Cao turned to look at Zhuge Yi with a smile on his face.
Her entire body was white, and she only had a bag on her back. She looked very poor, so how could she thank him?
Xu Chu turned around and frowned at Zhuge Yi.
He thought to himself, Why is this kid so overconfident?
However, Zhuge Yi's next sentence stunned Cao Cao and Xu Chu.
"I have something to say. I can save your lives as a repayment. I hope you two will listen to me!”
It was just posturing, and Zhuge Yi was quite familiar with it.
As a successful person, acting tough was a necessary skill.
Just now, Zhuge Yi had figured out what to do in an instant.
He directly went up to expose Cao Cao's identity and requested to join him.
And Cao Cao didn't want to take him in.
They might even question his identity.
If Cao Cao knew that he was Zhuge Liang's errand boy, with Cao Cao's suspicious personality, wouldn't he kill him?
He might as well pretend to be an expert.
As for his identity, let Cao Cao guess.
As expected, Zhuge Yi's words caught Cao Cao's attention.
"Oh, then tell me, how can you save my life with one sentence?”Cao Cao looked casual, but he was already suspicious.
Zhuge Yi's lips curled into a faint smile.
