Chapter 6754 Worry
"What, Cao Sikong was sent to our side?" After receiving the news, Wan Peng ran directly from the training ground halfway up the mountain to the government office of the Three Idiots near the top of the mountain.

"Yes, Sikong has fallen." Kuai Yue replied with a bit of indifference.

By the way, Kuai Yue’s current name is Yue Kai. He is from Wuwei, Liangzhou. The imperial register of his identity is very complete, and it is definitely the kind that can withstand scrutiny. Even if the prefect of Wuwei County, Liangzhou, comes to check, he will not be able to find any loopholes.

As for the name Kuai Yue, it really cannot be used, because Kuai Yue dared to self-destruct that he was still alive. Huang Zhong would arrive with a knife in two days at most, and then Liao Li would come from Jingzhou with a seventh-level smelting master, eleven sixth-level smelting masters, and a bunch of fifth-level smelting masters, and take Kuai Yue's head away to the Yangtze River to sacrifice to the suffering people.

Huang Zhong was eager to get some noble title, just a county marquis as a token of his gratitude, so that people would stop staring at him. For Huang Zhong, getting Kuai Yue's head would not only comfort the souls of the dead people in Jingzhou, but also reduce his own noble title, so that people would not have a hard time facing him.

As for Liao Li, if Liao Li knew that Kuai Yue was alive, one of him and Kuai Yue must die. Given the current situation in Jingzhou, the people of Jingzhou would definitely be willing to kill Kuai Yue under the leadership of Liao Li.

After all, Liao Li had spent more than ten years in Jiangling to atone for his sins. The direct reason why he was prepared to atone for his sins until death was that he believed that Kuai Yue would not break the banks of the Yangtze River, and then Kuai Yue performed a show for him about breaking the banks of the Yangtze River.

Then Liao Li's three views were reshaped from the root, and he continued to atone for his mistakes. As a result, after Liao Li had atoned for more than ten years, he finally found out that Kuai Yue was not at fault, so he had no choice but to go to war.

Therefore, after Kuai Yue completed the Parthian War, he decisively changed his name and surname, and did not go to the Central Plains. He took root in the Pamir Mountains and even did not contact his family, and expanded his branches here.

The overall point is that he is cautious. As for atonement, what the hell? Kuai Yue believes that as long as he is not caught and held accountable, there is no crime. He will not admit his mistakes. I have no morals. I will use any means necessary in war. This is the art of war!
This is also the reason why Kuai Yue can actually hang out with the Three Idiots and do quite well in the group, because Kuai Yue is essentially an Order Evil.

"Doctor Yue, what's the meaning of Kandahar sending Cao Sikong here?" Wan Peng looked at Yue Kai and asked in confusion. Since he has fallen, why should he be sent back to Chang'an? Why are they waiting here?

"Let's first determine the situation here and then send it to Chang'an. According to the practices of those bigwigs, it must be made public. I heard from some well-informed guys in the Iron Cavalry that Xuzhou has prepared the Seven Nail-Head Arrows in advance, and there are even rumors that they have prepared the Nine Sunset Arrows." Kuai Yue spoke casually. The Iron Cavalry had a good relationship with the Danyang soldiers, so they also knew some news about Xuzhou.

"I do know about the Seven Arrows with Nailed Heads. It's the arrow sacrifice method. By sacrificing enough energy and spirit, one can create an arrow with incredible power. Then one can chase the enemy for thousands of miles and take him down directly. What are the Nine Arrows of Sunset?" Wan Peng asked curiously. After all, his family was a descendant of the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai, and the inheritance was quite complete.

"Two years ago, a veteran soldier from Xuzhou named Guan Chi Tian Huan created a new finishing move." Kuai Yue said casually, "It is a finishing move that combines the curved light arrows that the Xiongnu had previously researched. It will gradually cause more light to fall along with the range, and finally fall like the setting sun."

Because the light is twisted and gathered together, the round ball of light that finally falls to the ground is really no different from the sun. This intensity of light radiation is said to be enough to burn the targeted enemy into a torch.

"The latter thing can't be used by an individual." Wan Peng said after a moment of silence. This thing doesn't sound like a bow and arrow attack that can be used by an individual.

"It's the same logic as the arrow sacrifice. Someone uses a special method to create the body of the curved light arrow, and then it is used by others." Yue Kai told Wan Peng what he had learned.

These arrows were previously used to kill enemy chiefs. Because of the protection provided to the commander by the clouds and collective will, it was actually difficult to kill the enemy chiefs on the battlefield with conventional arrows.

In addition, the enemy chief is surrounded by many personal guards, so the special thing called sacrificial arrows is used, so that when necessary, the opposing boss can be killed in one move.

Of course, if you say that the other side has collapsed, without the protection of the cloud and collective will, and you can kill the enemy boss with just one arrow, then what's the point of saying that? The enemy army has collapsed, is it necessary to behead the enemy boss? Shouldn't you let this useless boss continue to live so that you can win more easily?

When sacrificial arrows are used in a serious fight, it is usually because the opposing commander is very strong and wants to take advantage of the situation and see if he can complete the beheading with the least loss and win.

As a result, since the sacrificial arrow talent came out, the defense of the legion leaders of both the Han and the Xiongnu began to increase significantly. Finally, the sacrificial arrow talent became a rare talent, because when beheading is possible, sacrificial arrows are not used, and when other means cannot be used to behead, it is generally useless even if you offer sacrifices for 49 days.

As a result, some talents that look very powerful can actually only be used for assassination, and the effect may not be very good - there is no need to use such outrageous things to kill small fry, and if you want to kill a real boss, the opponent's defense will not be able to be taken down at all. To kill a mediocre guy, you can just rush over alone and kill the opponent in a few hits. Why make such a grand thing, isn't time a cost?

So this seemingly heaven-defying thing is only used to kill wild beasts with internal energy leaving their bodies.

But now it’s different. In Kuai Yue’s view, Cao Cao is a target that can be eliminated by sacrificing an arrow!
To put it bluntly, if Cao Cao were sent to Chang'an now, and the Princess Royal issued an imperial edict ordering Cao Cao to resign and return to Chenliu to retire, Cao Cao would be hit by more than a dozen sacrificial arrows that day.

So Cao Cao was sent to Pamirs first to confirm the situation and communicate with Chang'an. After Cao Ang had dealt with everything, Dian Wei was asked to protect Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao would not be assassinated as soon as he was sent back.

As for why it is not placed in Kandahar, given the current situation in Kandahar, as long as Cao Cao is still in Kandahar, Kandahar will not be stable.

"Is that so? Sikong Cao is on our side, so no one from Xuzhou will come here." Wan Peng said with some concern. If Cao Cao died here, it would be disgusting for Wan Peng.

"I don't know. Well, some people in Xuzhou have already begun to test and verify it." Kuai Yue looked at a red streak of light flying over from the horizon, and watched it grow bigger and bigger, from a tiny dot to a small sun. When it was approaching the Congling Mountains, it had turned into a red-gold ball of light several meters in size, emitting dazzling light and heat.

Kuai Yue activated the cloud protection with an expressionless face, but it was meaningless. The talent of Nine Arrows of Sunset was developed to deal with the cloud protection. The attack mode of this thing did not rely on the output of the talent, but on the natural phenomenon of the distortion of the talent.

Just like 100% spell resistance, the spell itself cannot cause damage, but the boulders blown up by the spell can cause damage.

The same logic applies to the Nine Arrows of Sunset. The innate effects carried by the bow and arrows themselves can be resisted by the clouds, but the natural phenomena formed by the bow and arrows during the previous operation of the innate ability cannot be offset. This results in the natural phenomena accumulated by the Nine Arrows of Sunset being released on the spot after losing the constraints of the innate ability.

Light and heat burst out in the direction where the arrow fell. Xu Huang stood in front of Cao Cao with an expressionless face, helping Cao Cao block the rolling heat waves and the blinding light.

"Shouldn't this thing be blocked?" Wan Peng asked after a moment of silence.

"This is also the first time I've encountered something like this. Hearing about it and seeing it are two different things." Kuai Yue shook his head and said, "But we still have to block it. None of us can be sure whether there is a will lock inside. If we let it slip through and it explodes next to Cao Sikong..."

Even if Xu Huang was there to protect him, he would probably be cooked if he was exposed to such a strong intensity of light at such a close distance.

"This is a big trouble." Wan Peng sighed and said, although this arrow did not hit Cao Cao, it was equivalent to determining the direction and position for some people in Xuzhou who were conducting verification.

"The people of Xuzhou are just trying. Who knows if this is Cao Sikong? Maybe he is a fake, right?" Kuai Yue said calmly, "Just do your own thing. We just need to wait for the notice from Chang'an. For some things, it is best not to think about them. Even if Cao Sikong really died here, what can it do? Is it because we failed to protect him? But we have no obligation to protect him."

Wan Peng nodded slowly. This was not what he wanted to say, but seeing Kuai Yue's expression, Wan Peng felt that there was no need to say anything. After all, the other party should understand what he meant.

"You can do a good job of defending this side, right?" Before Wan Peng left, he paused and turned to Kuai Yue and said.

Although Wan Peng still doesn't know Kuai Yue's true identity, the Wan family is the real local tyrant in Liangzhou, and their intelligence system is not fake. Even though the imperial list of Kuai Yue's identity made it impossible for the Wuwei county governor to find out anything, the Wan family still relied on other means to determine that Yue Kai's identity was a fake one.

In fact, for some intelligence, you only need to know a loophole. After confirming that Yue Kai's identity was a fake identity, Wan Peng did not continue to investigate. After all, if he continued to investigate, he would inevitably encounter someone who made a fake identity that even the local snakes found difficult to identify, and the Wan family basically knew the level of this person.

So Wan Peng trusts Yue Kai, but just because he can trust him on some things doesn't mean he can always trust him. Now even Lao Cao has finally fallen and been liquidated because of what happened back then. Wan Peng has to worry about Li Jue and the other two. The negative materials on these three brothers are even more than that on Lao Cao.

"It depends on which aspect you are talking about?" Kuai Yue glanced at Wan Peng and said.

Kuai Yue has been here for so many years, and he has come to realize that Wan Peng and Sansha are not actually the same kind of people. Although the four have known each other for decades, Wan Peng and Sansha have never experienced a life-and-death battle together. Wan Peng's birth has determined too many things, so that there is a thick barrier between Sansha and Wan Peng.

This barrier was so thick that even after the three idiots became marquises, they could not eliminate it. After all, they knew a lot, and they knew that the three of them would probably not escape the reckoning. If the three of them did not have sons and nephews and wanted to take care of their children and grandchildren, the three kings would definitely be the primary targets of attack by these three guys.

Until now, the Three Idiots can still maintain their fiefdom relatively stably, largely because they are valuable enough. In addition, the early stability of the Central Asian family also relied on the Three Idiots. Therefore, when the family was relatively weak, they could still get by. But the weak period of the Central Asian family will pass sooner or later, and liquidation is only a matter of time.

After all, eight out of ten Central Asian families had their ancestral tombs dug up by the Three Idiots. Considering the harm done to the two capitals by the Three Idiots, if it weren't for the merits of the Zhengguo Canal that saved millions of lives, his contribution to pacifying the Qiang people and stabilizing the border, and his achievement in dividing Parthia and leaving fiefdoms for the Han families, the Three Idiots would have been killed long ago.

But anyone with a little bit of common sense would understand that it is only a matter of time before the three idiots are liquidated. Even the three idiots know it, but no one has mentioned it before and they all pretended not to know about it. But now that Cao Cao has been liquidated, the problems that were previously turned a blind eye to have been forced into the spotlight.

It is no longer realistic for the three idiots, the aristocratic family, Li You and others to pretend they know nothing and continue acting as before.

In fact, Wan Peng moved the Wan family to the Pamir Mountains and cut off a piece of land in the north of Turan grassland. The three idiots cursed but did not refuse because they really needed a family with sufficient background and status to help support them.

It's not that he was helping Sansha to save face. Sansha had already realized and understood that he would go to hell after his death when he was beating Ward. Even for someone like Guo Si, even if he died now, as long as it did not affect his children, he would not feel much pity.

Because it's really worth it.

Guo Si has already enjoyed things that ordinary people cannot enjoy in their entire lives.

Just like the bronze vessels for distilled liquor unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Haihun, a group of people spread the word that time travelers had lost another weapon to show off, and that they would no longer be able to write about ancient people falling down after drinking two glasses of strong liquor.

But what about practicality?

"Brewing liquor is not an ancient method. It was created in the Yuan Dynasty." These words were said by Li Shizhen, and everyone knows what level of boss Li Shizhen is. He was the Imperial Physician, which means he would be a medical scholar nowadays, and a top figure among the academicians.

However, if a person like this doesn't know this kind of thing, let alone ordinary people, even the truly top figures, how many people can access such things?

What is more sad than something not existing in history is that something existed a thousand years ago, but you still cannot access it a thousand years later, or even have never heard of it.

This is the invisible barrier that really exists, but you are actually unaware of it!
Li Shizhen was at least a top-level person, able to contact the highest level. He had never seen anything like this. Ordinary ancient people? Ordinary officers? Are they worthy of this?
Guo Si could confidently say that he was worthy of it. Before Chen Xi made the liquor, Guo Si had already drunk it. He asked if it was from Liu Xie. Others didn't dare to do so, but the three brothers did!

What kind of imperial ceremonial weapon is this? Only the emperor is qualified to use it. I used it. What? Are you not convinced?

For Guo Si, this life of military service was nothing to regret, so he was very open-minded. The only thing he couldn't let go of was what would happen to his children in the future. As for his own fate, Guo Si hardly cared. He had eaten from nine tripods when he was alive, and he could be cooked in five tripods after his death. What was not worth it?

In fact, this is the reason why the three idiots took the initiative to persuade Zhang Xiu to return to Pamirs and accept the fiefdom of Turan grassland from the founding marquis Wan family represented by Wan Peng, because the three idiots could protect their descendants while they were alive, but they were destined to die, and what would happen to them after their death was something the three idiots had no idea about!

Originally, the Wan family didn't really want the fiefdom of Turan Plains, because after accepting it, they would be tied to the Three Idiots, and the family's reputation was still very important. What's more, they were the descendants of the founding marquis Wan Xiu. After accepting this fiefdom, when the Three Idiots were liquidated, the Wan family would definitely have to show up and sit together with the Three Idiots to share the damage, and they might even have to protect the Three Idiots' descendants later on.

This is not an easy task, because the three idiots have offended not one or two aristocratic families, but a group of aristocratic families, including at least eight out of ten of the most prosperous and wealthy families. Moreover, if the three idiots are really killed, there is no top wealthy family that you can find fault with. There is also the Wang family, which is always T0 level in any era.

The Wan family does not count the population size, but only the foundation, that is, those who can read and write, command hundreds or thousands of people, technical personnel who have been bound for generations, etc., are also considered to be at the level of a wealthy family. Therefore, with the three idiots, it is not a problem to fend off three or four families of the same level. The problem is that the three idiots have provoked ten or eight families, and there are still so many of them...

So at the beginning, Wan didn't want to get involved with the three idiots at all and was almost ready to join the Yuan family, but Wan Peng finally held Wan back.

Of course, this was mainly because Wan Peng gave birth to several cubs after arriving in Pamirs, and four of them lived beyond the age of five. The elders of the Wan family struggled for a long time, and finally chose to cut off a piece of the Turan Plain, which was considered a choice to advance and retreat with the three idiots.

There is no other way. If we attack a few powerful and wealthy families, at most they will be beaten to the ground, but they will not be wiped out. However, if there are no descendants, they will really be wiped out. People say that the Kou family is miserable, but the Wan family is even more miserable. The Wan family was extinct twice, and the incense was continued by renewing the branches. If it is cut off again, there will be no third time.

So the elders of the Wan family thought about it and accepted it with a pinch of their noses, thinking that it was a scourge that had been passed down for thousands of years, with strong continuity and the ability to give birth to children. It was better to be beaten than to have the whole family wiped out!

"Sikong Cao has fallen, and it is probably only a matter of time before Zhiran and the others are retaliated against." Wan Peng turned around and looked at Kuai Yue with no intention of hiding anything. Some things must be revealed when the time comes. As a marquis, he is qualified to say some outrageous words.

"Chiyang Hou and the others..." Kuai Yue was silent for a while, "There is no solution."

I am being beaten. I feel old and don't want to go to work. Sigh.
