"Hahaha! A hero doesn't care where they come from! "
At this moment, Cao Cao also stood up and said, "Deputy Chief Blazing Sun is right. Dian Wei is strong and majestic, and I'm sure he can deal with Hua Xiong. However, Dian Wei is not fully equipped. Why don't I provide a set of armor for Dian Wei? Men, put my golden chainmail on Hero Dian Wei's body … "
"Well …"
Cao Cao turned around and spoke to a general behind him. However, the general hesitated and didn't immediately do as Cao Cao said. The golden chain armor that Cao Cao mentioned couldn't be ordinary, or the general wouldn't have reacted like that.
"Dian Wei, thank you, General Cao!"
Despite their hesitation, Cao Cao's subordinates brought a golden chain armor over in the end. Cao Cao took it and put it on Dian Wei in person. Then, he patted Dian Wei's shoulder as an encouragement before he escorted Dian Wei to the gate of the tent with Yang Rui.
After putting on the golden chain armor that Cao Cao lent him, Dian Wei looked completely different! Yang Rui had to admit that Cao Cao was really generous with his money. Yang Rui also paid attention to the Golden Chain Mail that Cao Cao took out. Although it was named "Gold", it was very likely that it had surpassed the level of Gold equipment. Judging from the quality of the Golden Chain Mail, it was very likely that it was not much worse than Yang Rui's Billowing Silver Armor.
It wasn't the first time that Yang Rui had seen Cao Cao do something like that. For example, when Cao Cao met Cheng Yu for the first time, Cao Cao showed enough interest in Cheng Yu and was very enthusiastic about Cao Cao. Cheng Yu seemed to be more than happy to accept it, too. Dian Wei's reaction was similar this time.
Whether it was in various biographies or historical facts. Cheng Yu and Dian Wei were both Cao Cao's subordinates. Yang Rui believed that the settings in the game were similar. Therefore, Yang Rui was very vigilant about Cao Cao's two moves.
So far, Cheng Yu was basically under Yang Rui's control. It was unlikely that Cao Cao would snatch him away. However, Dian Wei might be abducted by Cao Cao! Yang Rui was interested in Dian Wei, and Cao Cao was a great competitor!
After Yang Rui marched off and Cao Cao borrowed his armor, Dian Wei stepped out of Yuan Shao's tent and fought Hua Xiong. The nobles were immediately thrilled by the noise outside the tent. Their roars were so loud that the sky seemed to be collapsing. Later, even the clattering of weapons could be heard clearly by all the nobles in the tent.
The sixteen nobles had different reactions after hearing the battle between Dian Wei and Hua Xiong. Those who had been panicked by the loss of soldiers were a lot more reassured. Cao Cao, on the other hand, was as calm as if he had foreseen the result. Yuan Shu, on the other hand, was the only one who couldn't have felt better.
Yuan Shu had just lost his general, Yu She. He didn't expect that an inconspicuous guard would be able to fight Hua Xiong so well. How could Yuan Shu feel better? Where would he put his face then?!
As a matter of fact, Yang Rui, as the initiator, was a bit strange too. Considering Dian Wei's strength, he should've been able to defeat Hua Xiong soon. However, the wine that Yang Rui poured for Dian Wei was almost cold, and Dian Wei still hadn't returned.
If Guan Yu had been the one to deal with this battle, he might have already returned victorious. Therefore, Yang Rui was secretly a little anxious!
"Dian Wei has fulfilled his mission!"
At this moment, Dian Wei had arrived at the center of the army and grabbed Hua Xiong's head and torso with both hands, throwing them to the ground.
Everybody looked at Dian Wei's body, only to see that the man was nine feet tall, with a strong body, a wolf's waist, and a leopard's head and ape's arms. He was truly a tough general! However, he had been cut into two halves by Dian Wei and could not move anymore!
Most people in the tent were surprised to see Dian Wei's victorious return. They didn't expect that a mere guard could kill a general under Dong Zhuo's command! Yuan Shao's tent was filled with shock, joy, surprise, and all sorts of other emotions.
"Dian Wei, you didn't disappoint me. The wine is not cold yet. Drink it up!"
Yang Rui then stepped forward and gave Dian Wei a cup of wine that he had filled earlier.
Although the wine was not cold yet, it was actually Yang Rui's exaggeration. Yang Rui naturally knew that the wine in the cup was almost cold. Also, when Yang Rui approached Dian Wei, he discovered that there was a wound on Dian Wei's arm too!
The discovery was greatly out of Yang Rui's expectation. There was no telling if Dian Wei's martial arts hadn't reached the peak yet, or if Hua Xiong was indeed difficult to deal with, but the result of the battle was slightly out of Yang Rui's expectation. If Dian Wei's attack ended like this, it was hard to tell what would've happened if Wu Anguo had been the one to fight!
"Dian Wei thanks Deputy Blazing Sun!"
Dian Wei took the cup from Yang Rui's hand and drank it up, with obvious gratitude in his eyes.
"Warrior Dian Wei, here's to you too!"
"Good job, Dian Wei!"
“.....”
Seeing that Dian Wei had indeed killed Hua Xiong, the nobles finally recovered from their shock and praised Dian Wei's bravery.
"Humph!"
Right at this moment, Yuan Shu, however, snorted and walked out of the tent, ignoring Dian Wei and the nobles.
Yuan Shu's action was actually quite undignified. Instead, it seemed that he was trying to lower himself and compete with a nobody! However, his action provided an opportunity for Yang Rui. Seeing that Yuan Shu had left the tent, Yang Rui chased after him.
"Yuan Gonglu, wait for me!"
Yang Rui dragged Wu Anguo and chased after him while shouting. It seemed that he was going to persuade Yuan Shu, but in fact, Yang Rui was taking the opportunity to get away.
After Yang Rui and Wu Anguo left the tent, they saw that Yuan Shu had turned left. Yang Rui and Wu Anguo, on the other hand, turned right and followed the way they came until they reached the place where the boat was anchored. Then, they unfastened the boat and quickly followed the river.
The soldiers of the coalition army in the middle had recognized Yang Rui and naturally did not dare to ask where Yang Rui was going. However, Yang Rui asked the soldiers along the way if they had seen Governor Yuan Shu every now and then, leaving the soldiers with the impression that Yang Rui was looking for Yuan Shu!
In this way, even if the other vassals knew that Yang Rui had left, they could not say anything. In truth, Yang Rui only wanted to understand the situation in front of Hulao Pass. He did not expect to be involved in a battle.
Now that Hwa Xiong had been killed, Dong Zhuo would probably send his main force to Hulao Pass after learning of this. This was the perfect opportunity for Yang Rui to make his move in Luoyang! Therefore, Yang Rui was in a hurry to leave Yuan Shao's coalition army. His troops were not in front of Hulao Pass. Even if they stayed, they could not do anything. Instead, their freedom was restricted!
Yang Rui returned to the camp by the Yellow River. When his fleet returned, he brought along three thousand five hundred Fifth Grade Iron Guards, forty-two Fifth Grade bandit leaders, and ten ships of food to Mount Beimang near Luoyang.
At the moment, Yang Rui had gathered more than 30000 soldiers in Spirit Condensation Mountain Village. They were all Fifth Grade Warriors and Fifth Grade Iron Guards. Moreover, Yang Rui had brought along Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, and Wu Anguo. Yang Rui was prepared to make his move after Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu left Luoyang!
Yang Rui left the remaining soldiers under Ding Yuan's care. They were led by four hundred beginner and intermediate generals. As long as they were stationed here, there was not much of a problem in terms of safety. In comparison, between the CU Alliance and Ding Yuan, Yang Rui still chose Ding Yuan as an NPC to look after his soldiers.
However, when Yang Rui tried to open the secret passage from Mount Beimang to the palace, he realized that the passage had been completely blocked. He could not open it no matter how hard he tried!
It could be said that the existence of this secret passage was the biggest reason why Yang Rui dared to accept Empress He's mission. As long as he could enter the palace through the secret passage, it would not be too difficult to find an opportunity to rescue Young Emperor Liu Bian and Empress He. Now that the secret passage was blocked, Yang Rui was at a loss.
It wasn't as if Yang Rui hadn't expected something like this to happen. The rescue mission itself wasn't that easy to complete. Thus, after failing to pass through the tunnel, Yang Rui had sent out all the Fifth Grade bandits and soldiers to monitor the movements of Dong Zhuo's forces in Luoyang City. He wanted to find other opportunities to complete the rescue mission, even though the chances of doing so were minuscule.
Every night, Yang Rui himself would also use the Wind Carpet to patrol around Luoyang Royal City. While he was scouting, he would also look for opportunities to kill the patrolling cavalry or generals in Dong Zhuo's troops. The rest of the time, he would stay in Spirit Condensation Mountain Village to practice his internal arts and special skills.
After two nights, Yang Rui had obtained over a hundred ordinary Fifth Grade cavalry skill books, ten beginner general skill books, and two intermediate general skill books. However, his position on the leaderboard was getting closer and closer to the second-place Dragon Soul! On the second night, Yang Rui encountered an unexpected situation.
System Notification: Esteemed player Blazing Sun, will you continue to kill the generals of the fake Dong Zhuo's faction? Please make a choice.
Just as Yang Rui was about to kill a general on horseback, the general barely managed to survive a blow from Yang Rui. A system notification soon appeared.
When Yang Rui attacked, he only treated the general as an ordinary soldier and did not use much of his strength. Thus, the general managed to escape death. Judging from the system notification, this general was also a member of the Anti-Dong Alliance. Yang Rui then slowed down his attack.
"Hold on! I am the messenger for Alliance Leader Yuan Shao! "
