[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty

Seeing that the edge of the long sword was only a few inches away from Cao Cao's heart, Ah Sheng screamed and stretched out his hand to push him away, and rushed forward to block him without the slightest hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the moment he pounced on him, Cao Cao's left hand, which was tightly hugged around his waist, nimbly took advantage of the trend and gently pushed him behind him.

When he was still in shock, Ah Sheng found that he was tightly guarding him behind him.

There was only a "wow" as the Yitian sword came out of its sheath, and that icy cold light flashed across his eyes, only the rustling sound of falling leaves remained.

Cao Cao turned his head and whispered "Go quickly" in her ear, and immediately pulled away the arm around her waist, and raised his sword "clang" to meet the swift and fierce knife.

The masked assassin came in menacingly, looking for his flaws with deadly knives, and the attack was so fierce that no one could find a chance to breathe.

A Sheng looked worried, but she knew that she couldn't stay here any longer, and the top priority was not to distract Cao Cao.

So she turned around and ran while the wind was blowing past the shadows of the trees, trying to make the sound of her footsteps so soft that it was drowned in the chirping of night insects.

Seeing that he could hide behind the rockery next to the pond, with a "pop", the branch in front broke and fell down, which shocked Ah Sheng.She tremblingly glanced at the shadow above, only to see that the assassin flew over to the tree above her head, looking down at her from a high position.

The sword in her hand stabbed straight at Ah Sheng, she was so horrified that she almost lost her body, but immediately subconsciously twisted her waist to the side, and the long sword that came with no intention of coming fell to the ground.

The masked assassin was obviously startled for a moment, but then jumped down, kicked the sword with his foot and stabbed again, as if trying to kill her.

A Sheng's eyes were wide open, and he ran out while pulling his legs, shouting in his heart: "My lord, don't look for me if you are looking for revenge. If you come to kill Cao Cao, just fight with him. What's the use of chasing me."

The visitor didn't understand A Sheng's mad cry at the moment, and stabbed him with a sword without hesitation.

In front of it is a curved pond that is neither deep nor shallow, and the shadow of the moon is shining on the water surface with sparkling patterns.With the crisis at stake, Ah Sheng didn't dare to look back at the situation behind her. She was neither moving forward nor backward, so she could only close her eyes and jump into the pond.

The reflection of the moon in the water was crushed instantly, splashing a splash of water.The remnants of the autumn lotus bloomed miserably in twos and threes, A Sheng's nose was sore from the water, he took a deep breath and buried his head in the water, covering himself with the lotus leaves.

She held her breath desperately and listened to the sound on the shore with her ears.The assassin was clearly at his wits' end, and was fighting with Cao Cao who was rushing over at high speed. The sound of sword-to-sword collisions was constantly transmitted to her fragile eardrums.

It's cold, it's so cold.

The skin all over his body was trembling, and his body was extremely sensitive after being invaded by cold water, and the biting chill made his teeth tremble.

She really couldn't bear the feeling of being unable to breathe, so she boldly poked her head out and looked towards the shore.

This time Cao Cao obviously had the upper hand, and his sword became faster and faster, hitting the vital point, forcing the opponent to retreat steadily.

His Yitian Sword is the most precious treasure in the world, and it cuts iron like mud. The blade of the sword lightly brushed the assassin's hair, pulled a sword flower, and cut off the latter's hair crown in an instant, causing him to take a few steps back in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneered: "Is that all you can do?"

The assassin didn't answer, just to show off, he raised his hand in an instant and raised his hidden weapon to the place where A Sheng was hiding in the pool.

Ah Sheng was watching with fear, when suddenly a cold crossbow | arrow flew over, and his mind went blank.

Cao Cao yelled eagerly to herself: "Squat down!" She quickly and flexibly lowered her body, and the arrow flew just two inches away from her head.

Taking advantage of Cao Cao's distraction at this moment, the assassin jumped into the air with the support of the lush branches, flew away along the eaves of the back wall, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the rustling sound of branches and leaves.

"Leave me alone, catch up to him!" A Sheng lamented that he didn't catch him, and shouted to Cao Cao, who was about to jump down to save him, pointing to the distance to catch up with the assassin, and said loudly, "I'm good at water, You can swim up by yourself, don’t let that person go.”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded in relief and turned around to chase after him, and then disappeared in the night.

Ah Sheng wiped the algae off his face, brushed away the lotus leaves beside him, and wanted to swim to the shore from the water, but when he was about to stand up, he found that he was stuck in the same place, unable to move his feet, as if he was caught by something. bound.

She tried to move again, but it turned out that the underwater algae stalks entangled her legs, making her unable to move.

She was anxious, so she kicked desperately trying to get rid of these aquatic plants, not wanting to struggle more and more entangled, and the whole person was dragged and submerged into the water.

The pond was neither deep nor shallow, but it was enough to submerge her.

"Help! Help!" Ah Sheng screamed for help, but it was in vain.

There was no one in sight during the second night, and she sucked big mouthfuls of pool water for no reason, making her nose swell from choking.

More and more water poured into her nose, mouth, and mind. The suffocation that hit her face made her throb in despair, her consciousness gradually pulled away, and she lost the space to breathe.

It was as if, being pressed down by a boulder, all the seven orifices were tightly blocked, unable to break free from the powerlessness and collapse.

Are you going to die?

I don't want to die yet.

The remaining consciousness is constantly struggling, not because she has never experienced the desperate situation of the gate of hell, but this time, she is really unwilling to just give up everything around her, and desperately wants to grasp those things, things and people like never before.

At last she lost all her strength and fell into a dead center of darkness.In a daze, she felt someone supporting her waist, but she didn't know anything.

------

There was a warm breath coming from his body, and warm breath brushed his face.

She subconsciously blinked her eyelids and opened her eyes.

"You finally woke up. Gu thought you were going to stay in a coma forever." Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief when he saw her wake up, but he still pretended to be indifferent and said calmly.

The veins on A Sheng's forehead twitched, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be grateful or scold him, so he could only stare: "You saved me?"

"Nonsense. In the middle of the night, except for me who has the leisure to save you, who else will be."

Seeing that he raised his eyebrows and said it easily, Ah Sheng quickly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and changed the subject: "Have you caught up with that assassin? Who is he?"

Hearing this question, Cao Cao's expression changed: "Before he was captured by Gu, he took poison and killed himself. But if Gu's guess is correct, he must have been ordered by Yuan Shao to take my life."

"Ah?" A Sheng's jaw dropped in shock, "Does Yuan Shao want your life so much?"

Cao Cao was silent for a while, and A Sheng hurriedly said: "What are you afraid of? Your life is so easy to take. I won't allow you to die. What right does he have to control your life and death?"

She parted her lips and teased him in a joking tone, thinking that Cao Cao would laugh as usual, but she didn't want him to say in a low voice: "In fact, Yuan Shao has always held my lonely life in my hands."

Hearing this, A Sheng was startled.

She usually only heard that Yuan Shao's territory covered the north of the Yellow River, that he had enough soldiers and food, and that his power occupied half of the country, but she thought it was only to the extent that Cao Cao would be afraid of it.

Now that he has made such a sensational statement, I can't help looking at his expression carefully, and tentatively asking: "Is this... serious?"

"What?" He was really moody. Seeing Ah Sheng's questioning in fear, he suddenly laughed again, with a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Are you worried about losing your life?"

A Sheng immediately turned his face, turned around with a flick of his sleeves and said, "What does your life have to do with me. Whether you live or die, I don't care at all."

"Duplicity." He spit out the four words with a half-smile, and slowly raised his eyes to look at the crescent moon in the sky.

"However, you have to be careful in the future, there will be a second assassination after the first one, so don't take it lightly and fulfill their wishes." A Sheng hesitated for a while, still worried, and warned.

"Actually, Yuan Benchu ​​sent an assassin a long time ago."

"what?"

"That time when I was sleeping alone, luckily Gu's reaction was quick enough to save this life, otherwise..." Seeing that Ah Sheng looked nervous, he purposely put it off.

"Otherwise what?" Ah Sheng was really hooked, and asked him hastily.

"Otherwise—you'd have no husband."

Seeing that she had been fooled, Cao Cao couldn't help but chuckle, and A Sheng's face immediately became uneasy, and he turned around and was about to leave.

"Ah Choo!" The cold wind blew suddenly, and she couldn't help shivering.The clothes on his body were soaked in water, and the wet seeped into his skin, giving off a chill.

Cao Cao quickly took off his black robe and put it on her body, and tied it lightly.The clothes still had his body temperature, and she couldn't help but look up at him.

"Thank you." Ah Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still felt the need to thank him.

Cao Cao shook his head, remembering her demeanor when she was in distress, he couldn't help laughing again:

"Your reaction is quite quick, not as dull as I imagined." He smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes slyly.

A Sheng curled his lips angrily, and stared back at him: "Since I met you, I have visited the ghost gate a few times, can I still have no reaction ability? Otherwise, I would have died countless times."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly suppressed his smile.The eyes staring at her suddenly became softer, and even concealed a bit of silence, which made her wonder if she was wrong.

"Gu is really sorry for you. If it wasn't for Gu, you wouldn't fall into this kind of crisis again and again. It's Gu who made you suffer." His voice was low, almost making Ah Sheng fall into it.

She shook her head to keep her sanity, and seeing him continue to speak slowly, "But that assassin is really smart, knowing that killing you first can disturb Gu's mind and sanity. But Gu thinks about it, after all, you are always the one who gets hurt, These unreasonable disasters are not something you should bear."

"Why...you said such a thing suddenly." A Sheng couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment when he saw him say that so rarely, and forced a smile, "Actually, these are nothing to me, you don't need to blame yourself like this. "

As soon as the words fell, a kiss was lightly placed on the forehead.
