I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

"Today, I hand over these five hundred soldiers to you."

Cao Xiong turned his head to look at these soldiers.

"They are different from the Tiger and Leopard Guards. Compared with the Tiger and Leopard Guards, which are composed of many thousands and centurions, most of these Xuanjia soldiers are no more than 35 years old, but they are all carefully trained by me. , the fighting power is not much worse than that of the Tiger and Leopard Guards."

"In Yingzhou, with them protecting you, I will feel more at ease."

Lu Qiling's eyes froze, she stared blankly at Cao Xiong.

They are all people who have been born and died on the battlefield, and Lu Qiling has nothing to be polite to Cao Xiong.

"Thank you then." Lu Qiling stepped forward and gave Cao Xiong a hug.

Cao Xiong smiled, then looked at Wan'er.

"Don't worry about me." Wan'er smiled at Cao Xiong, "I won't go to the battlefield myself."

"There are ninjas from the upper three families secretly protecting you, so I feel much more at ease."

Cao Xiong took the initiative to step forward, hugged Wan'er, and whispered in her ear, "Take care of yourself."

"Yeah." Wan'er nodded.

Cao Xiong turned sideways, Xu Fu and Nan Shengmi were standing behind Wan'er.

"Xu Fu, do you remember what I told you?" Cao Xiong looked at Xu Fu with a twinkle in his eyes.

"The old minister will keep it in mind." Xu Fu said in an old voice.

At this moment, in Xu Fu's eyes, Cao Xiong became the young Ying Zheng again.

"It's hard to grow rice."

"Subordinates are here."

Cao Xiong looked at this young general, Nan Shengmi could speak both Jiangdong dialect and Wa dialect, and he was also loyal and intelligent.

"When I go to Yecheng to pay tribute in the future, remember to bring me some new tea."

"Yes!"

Cao Xiong took two steps back and glanced at these heartless people.

I have traveled thousands of miles for these people and fought these bitter battles.

In the end, the elixir of longevity was not found, but Dianman was the only one left who was willing to go back with him.

"Then, goodbye!"

After Cao Xiong finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the clipper with his flaming helmet between his arms.

Dianman and several soldiers also turned around and left.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, Cao Xiong's back looks particularly handsome and majestic.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back with your brother Xiong?" Lu Qiling muttered standing next to Wan'er.

"If you miss this time, there will be no next time."

"Not going back."

Wan'er said this sentence calmly, then looked at Cao Xiong's back until he entered the warship.

Chapter 1621 Cao Xiong returns to Qingzhou

Cao Xiong's fast boat sailed out of the harbor very quickly.

The super ship 'Da Fu' is in front of the sea, and Cao Xiong wants to go back to the 'Da Fu' ship.

The few people on the pier had been watching Cao Xiong's navy dim in the setting sun, and there were only a few black shadows left.

"Let's go, go back." Wan'er said to everyone.

Everyone turned around and went back.

Only Lu Qiling took one last look at the shadow of the boat under the setting sun before turning around and leaving.

On the 'Da Fu', Cao Xiong sat in front of the copper table, feeling the erratic hull of the ship.

He holds chess pieces in his hands, black in his left hand and white in his right.

Suddenly, there was a sense of misery in his heart.

A few months ago, when I came here, Lu Qiling played chess with me.

Now, there is only one person left.

"Xiangxiang doesn't know what happened." Cao Xiong muttered.

"Dianman!"

"exist!"

Norman pushed open the hatch and walked in.

"what's for dinner?"

"I don't know, there seems to be venison."

Cao Xiong was taken aback, "Isn't the venison finished?"

"There are still some pickled and preserved ones. Although the taste is not that good, but... if the prince doesn't want to eat it, you can give it to us." Dianman licked his face and smiled.

"Did you learn a lot from Lu Qiling in the past few months?" Cao Xiong looked at the smirking Dianman, "I just don't know how much I learned from Lu Qiling in martial arts and commanding troops."

"Actually, I think it's a pity for General Lu. It would be great if he could stay." Dian Man said with a drooping face.

"Why don't I want to keep her here?" Cao Xiong sighed, and put Hei Zi down, "Famous generals are something that can be met but not sought after."

No one can force this kind of thing.

Now he has a deeper understanding of Boss Cao's failure to keep Second Master Guan.

"Come on, play chess with me." Cao Xiong said.

"I didn't play well, Shizi let me go." Dianman sat in front of Cao Xiong.

"If you keep talking poorly, I'll send you back to Yingzhou Island and follow Lu Qiling to fight against Japanese pirates."

"Don't dare to go down."

The fleet marched day and night, but fortunately, there was no wind or rain for more than half a month.

It took Cao Xiong's navy more than 20 days to return to Weihai.

Of course, as soon as he got off the boat, he heard a thunderous news.

"My lord, the prison in Weihai was attacked by villains, and the prison was burned to the ground!"

"The prison was burned?" Cao Xiong looked at the warden in surprise.

"Several guards guarding the prison were killed, and when the guards rushed over, there was already a sea of ​​flames under the prison."

"What about Guo Zhao?"

"Guo Zhao's body was not found." The warden said, "The cell leader guarding Guo Zhao was stabbed to death with a short knife. The only body missing from the prison is Guo Zhao, so it is certain that he was taken away."

"Guo Zhao was taken away."

Cao Xiong was thinking.

Don't think too much about it, Guo Zhao was robbed, and in all likelihood, it was Cao Pi who ordered him to do it!

Cao Xiong left here angrily, and walked towards the general's mansion.

Halfway through, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the warden, "Where did you go the day the prison caught fire?"

"Ah... Hui Shizi, I drank too much that day, so I was not in prison..."

"Pull it down and cut it!"

Cao Xiong walked towards the mansion without looking back.

A few Xuanjia soldiers behind him dragged the warden like going to the seaside.

Along the way, the warden begged for mercy!

"Dianman."

"exist!"

"Let the army rest and reorganize. In two days, we will set off for Yecheng, Jizhou."

"Yes!"

At night, Cao Xiong watched some news from Jizhou in the mansion.

He has been away from Donglai County for too long, and all the news has accumulated in the mansion.

"It turns out that Cao Pi is in charge of all the big and small things in Yecheng."

Cao Xiong frowned.

The Wufeng Tower was attacked, Zhanghe beheaded officials, Empress Fu died of illness...

It seems that during his absence in Yecheng, a lot of things happened in Yecheng.

Chapter 1622 Give Jiangdong some kindness

"Xiangxiang, make me a cup of tea!" Cao Xiong shouted while looking at his Yecheng New News.

However, after shouting, he remembered that Sun Shangxiang had already gone back to Jiangdong.

Dianman came in from outside the hall.

"My son." Dianman put down the new tea for Cao Xiong.

Cao Xiong glanced at Dianman.

It turned out that Dianman kept the habit of staying in Yingzhou, no matter day or night, as long as he was not on a mission, he would always be by his side.

"Dianman, how many Jiangdong soldiers did you bring back from Yingzhou?"

"Hui Shizi, except for 57 soldiers who were willing to stay in the Japanese army like Nan Shengmi, brought back a total of 120 Jiangdong soldiers."

"Many of these people are centurions."

"Send a fast boat to send these people back to Jiangdong." Cao Xiong said.

"What?" Dianman was taken aback, "My son, they will all become centurion commanders in the Jiangdong Army in the future."

"Even Jiangdong's commander-in-chief, general, is no match for Sun Shangxiang." Cao Xiong said flatly.

"Sending these people back is my personal sympathy for Jiangdong. Others will ignore it, but Sun Shangxiang will hear about it."

"In this way, I will have an excuse to visit Sun Shangxiang, and even bring her back."

"Oh." Dianman nodded.

"Then when will the son go to Jiangdong?"

"It's too dangerous to go recently." Cao Xiong took a sip of tea, "Let's talk about it after returning to Yecheng to report on the work."

"Yes."

Cao Xiong raised his head and thought, what excuse should he think of to bring Sun Shangxiang back?

Jizhou, Yecheng, Tongque Terrace.

Cao Pi also received news from Cao Xiong in Qingzhou.

His fifth younger brother was already on his way back to Yecheng on horseback.

It seems that Yingzhou is settled.

After Cao Xiong returned to Yecheng, his position in Yecheng would be threatened again.
