1805 Cao Zheng's Death

Li Cong is not very clear about some of the World of Warcraft data in World of Warcraft, but he also knows that there must be many factions in it. Just like seeing these warcrafts, some of them will be very happy when they see them. I can see the appearance, but many monsters are angry when they see themselves. They treat themselves the same as ordinary human beings. If they were before, they would definitely not be able to escape from this place. After a while, Li Cong basically understood the catastrophe. The cause of the incident was caused by a very powerful monster. This guy’s child was killed by a human, so this guy allowed himself to control it. All monsters came out to slaughter humans. Of course, the monsters are very happy to kill humans. Even some of the monsters that do not belong to this guy have also come out. The people belonging to this guy have at most a few million monsters, but look. Seeing that there are hundreds of millions of beasts coming out, but the beasts don’t have much commanding ability. Otherwise, it is possible to conquer half of the continent. Normally, mercenaries will enter the Warcraft Mountains to hunt down. Warcraft lives, but for a while, Warcraft will come out to kill people.

This is the state of existence of both sides. Many of the humans need some furs or magic cores from Warcraft. Warcraft has nothing to do with wanting to eat people. The war between the two sides has lasted for hundreds of years, and no one feels it What's weird, it seems that this is a normal thing, but today there will be many beasts guarding a person going forward, although there will be magicians who tame the beasts as their own mounts or their own partners, but It is only one or two at most. There are thousands of them now, and there are more and more varieties. This is very surprising. Many people don’t understand, but these people know the distance from these people. Just a little farther away, who knows if those monsters can eat people.

After following Li Cong for a day and night, the group of Tila Chi wolves who first followed Li Cong began to change.A few of these have actually begun to evolve, and things like evolution are quite normal in Warcraft, just like Tila Chi wolves, they are generally able to reach level 6 beasts, and their combat power is slightly better than that of human level 6 warriors. They are a little tougher, but they definitely can't reach the level of a seventh-level fighter, only their king can reach the seventh-level realm.In history, they have also reached the eighth level, but that is very rare.Tens of thousands of years of history is only such a thing, but today weird things are about to happen. Four of them started to feel that they are going to advance. Advancement is a big deal for both Warcraft and humans. The changes of these Tila Chi wolves haven’t passed Li Cong’s eyes. Li Cong knows that these guys are the closest to him, and they are most likely to advance. Li Cong doesn’t know what’s going on. It seems that his breath is of great help to Warcraft.The little guy I met was like that, and this time these guys are also like that. It seems that he is really a treasure to Warcraft.

This sudden emergence of several seventh-level Tila Chi wolves has never happened before. The surrounding sixth-level guys naturally know who brought them such opportunities, and they can’t wait for them one by one. They are going to Li Cong's body, which is strange to say, he has tolerated the cunning of human beings too much.At this time, when I look at these guys, I don’t have that many thoughts anymore. It seems that these guys are the best. They will never move their minds when they want to get what they want. They can show them one by one. I feel comfortable with such a guy.

It's been more than a day.Li Cong can’t see any other human beings except them. Now they are all surrounded by monsters, but the monsters that came over either have to stay to protect Li Cong or leave. What a joke, even It was the ninth-level monster who came to look at the group of monsters around him that they could not fight before. There were tens of thousands of monsters, and Li Cong himself looked at these guys around him with a little depressed.In more than a day, Li Cong pulled down the guys who only needed advanced levels on the wagon, so that they could advance well. It took less than five hours for these guys to have completely changed, one by one. It’s even stronger than before. The Wolf King may be like this. These guys rely on their own physical strength, so they don’t put the other little brothers in their eyes at all. They are all next to Li Cong. .

The four Tila Chi wolves Li Cong called them the boss, the second and the third, and the fourth. The boss and the second and third followed Li Cong, and the fourth was sent to take the brothers with him. I’m not happy, but let’s just look at the eyes of the three elder brothers. Who said I’m the youngest? If you fight for something like this, you’ll probably be broken by your brothers. It’s better to be honest. , But this is also very prestigious. Look at the time when I was one of these guys, but now it’s different. I am a level seven monster, one level more than you, and a level seven appeared before. World of Warcraft is a great thing, but it’s a normal thing now, it’s not a big deal. The fourth child looked at his subordinates cheerfully, as long as he has his own kind to join him, although the others are also Respect Li Cong, but only on the periphery. There is no way. We found the emperor first. We are the emperor’s guards. What are you three or two kittens doing here? You can’t do anything. You don’t know in the Warcraft Mountains. In, the emperor’s guards must all be level 8 monsters or higher. They can’t be treated like that. Their king is not as good as a guard next to the emperor. Now they have such a chance , If you don't show off well, you're simply sorry to yourself, and other monsters can only despise these villains.

"Master, there have been fewer people coming over the past few days. We have no news at all. Yesterday, a group of cavalry came over. They looked like the army of the city lord of Jiang Ningcheng, but they didn't walk with us. It’s going to the southeast county city. I know from them that Jiang Ningcheng has fallen. All 9th-level beasts have appeared. There are no 9th-level strongmen in Jiangning city. Those mercenaries have reached this time. But they won’t do anything to the common people. They all ran away one by one. This time the number of people killed or injured is definitely hundreds of millions.” Wu Liu looked around and said, Li Cong has been wandering around for a long time. They all know that if it weren't for the young master this time, it is estimated that all the meat in the mouth of the beast is now.Except for being grateful, it means being grateful. I won’t say anything at all, and it’s useless to say more.

"Yes, in fact, I have been thinking about a problem these days. In terms of the land area of ​​the entire continent, we humans occupy about three-quarters, while monsters occupy one-quarter. But the real What is the ratio of strength? Many humans enter every year. However, there is no such a scale as Warcraft. Every year, what humans want to do is to ambush heavy troops around the Warcraft Mountains to defend. There is no offense at all. From this point of view, I feel that the overall strength of Warcraft is much stronger than that of humans." Li Cong looked at the surrounding corpses and said. At the beginning, Li Cong felt very disgusted with these corpses, but these few Heaven is all used to it. There are so many people who died along the way, hundreds of millions?I am afraid there are hundreds of millions of people.There are tens of millions of people around Jiang Ningcheng. Look at it now, and one-tenth of those who ran out is not bad. Li Cong glanced at the sleeping Cui Xian'er with some worry. The Cui family would still be there. I left a message or something on the road. I haven't found it for a long time. There are only two possibilities.One is that the person who left the message has been killed, and the other is that everyone in the Cui family has been killed. Of course, it is possible that all the Cui family have gone to the front. This is the best ending. From the current situation Look, the whole province may fall.It’s not necessarily a good plan to go to the provincial capital. It can only continue to the north. Those who lost the Magic Guild will see Li Cong, but unfortunately, there must be no way to come over after such a thing. Now, my own news is too closed, no one has notified me at all, so how can I be a magician?I don't take the village chief as a cadre.

"Master, since this monster is the lowest level of the monster, if it fights with ordinary people, it can kill dozens of people, but there is only one soldier among so many human beings. It is just like a small one, and it is useful at all. No, it’s useless if there are too many. If all the beasts in the Warcraft Mountains come out, we will not be able to resist it. This time it won’t be so powerful.” Wu Liu glanced towards the south with some worry, who wouldn’t If you are afraid of your own head, who is not worried, as long as you can live, who will be willing to die.

"Hehe, this posture is not an ordinary beast wave. It may be that the Beasts are too depressed, but it is better for us to speed up. I always feel uneasy. Who knows where this uneasiness comes from? What?" Li Cong said with some fear, these beasts did not make him feel scared, but this situation made him a little scared, is it not the beasts that make him worry about the human beings?Li Cong's face became gloomy. There are so many things that humans can kill each other, just like the silver wolf just now. This bastard put himself together at the most important time. If it weren't for his own reaction, it would be OK now. I guess my life is gone. If I die, these people don’t need to be alive. So Silver Wolf may have dozens of lives on his back. I think that Li Cong is the dentist of the pharmaceutical industry. I must find this guy. This guy will be killed. By then, this guy will have to die. You can’t let this guy live so comfortably. Since you want Lao Tzu to die, you can’t live either. In that case, as long as you are reasonable people, you should kill them together. Of Warcraft, I didn't expect that guy was still calculating.

Three hundred miles north of where Li Cong was located, Cao Zheng looked at the thousands of people around him with some surprise. These thousands were the last guards of Cao Zheng. Everyone was a sixth-level fighter, but now they are all dead. , Even the few around Cao Zheng died, and all of them were Cao Zheng alone.

"Hey, Master Cao, the ability to escape by leaving behind his wife and children is really great. That old fellow emperor really trusts you, so many troops, so many elite troops are in your hands, I It’s a little surprised, you kid can be considered as okay, so many people pay for your life, let me see, my god, the number is really quite a lot, Master Cao, I think you can die too, you After living for so many years, you have all the power and power you should have. Don’t you think your life will be no fun if you continue to live?” Standing around Cao Zheng were four or five men in black. All of them didn't show their faces.Judging from the fact that they killed thousands of people in a few hours, the strength of these people is absolutely terrifying. Cao Zheng can be regarded as someone who has seen the world, but Cao really has a real impression of these people. No, when will I have such a strong enemy? Thousands of level 6 fighters are not so easy to be killed. Cao Zheng can see the strength of one of these people.It is the pinnacle of an eighth-level fighter, but this guy seems to be the weakest one.The strongest one is an earth magician. The ground spike gun just killed one-third of his own people. Thinking of what happened just now, I'm still a little scared, if it wasn't for my horse to wake up. I guess I am the same as those who died now.

"I, Cao Zheng, has nothing to do with a low life. I just want to know why you want to kill me. Although I have offended a lot of people, I think that the level should be more than me. How could I offend me? Yours, I'm going to die anyway, I don't know if I can make my death more clear." Cao Zheng looked at these people's faces and no longer had the fear he had just now. Today is his own limit. Things are as they are now. They will never let themselves live. These people will know who is standing behind them if they know their names.Even if that person is not afraid, what can I say? It’s not shameful to die in such a hand, but you have to understand how to say it. You can’t save someone who died so vainly. If that’s the case, it’s true. I can't catch my eyes anymore.

"Master Cao. I really didn't expect you to be such a serious person. In the past, many people in the capital mentioned you with compliments. Now it seems that you are really confused. Some things are a curse. We wouldn’t say it by mouth. Although these thousands of people are dead, if there are one or two of them, they are still angry. If we explain this thing clearly, we won’t faint in the future. Days are coming, even our master doesn’t have that much energy to suppress this matter. Thousands of imperial guards are nothing, but you are different, Master Cao. You have such a good relationship with the Emperor. , I have reason to believe that this emperor will be furious after you die. What we want is that time, hehe, Master Cao, we respect you as a sensible person, or do you decide by yourself?" The other guy finished. At that time, he inserted the scimitar in his hand into the back of a soldier next to him. That guy was still alive. Cao Zheng looked at these people in surprise. The minds of these people were too calm, and they called out calmly. People are a little scared. It is the first time that Cao has met such a person. If he is strong, they would not care about such a small section, because they are not afraid that someone will come to seek revenge. But they even noticed such details. This is not something they can do. They are all professional killers, but where are the professional killers so powerful? At this time, the first killer organized the blood rose to Cao Zheng's brain. Here, the legendary blood rose is made every time it is shot, but the price is scary. I don’t know who used what price to invite these people out, just thinking about it in Cao Zheng At the time, a knife was smashed from Cao Zheng’s head. Cao Zheng did see a rose tattoo on this guy’s wrist. They were indeed people of Blood Rose, but Cao Zheng couldn’t remind others. How did he die? A generation of heroes passed away, a bit miserable.

"This Cao Zheng is really troublesome. It caused me to delay so long. Brothers, we should go. Now we have to go to the capital quickly. Who knows how long the trouble here will last? For the monsters here, I’m not interested in dealing with them. They are so ugly. If you kill one, you can’t make any money. It’s easy to kill anyone, just like this Cao Zheng. It’s really our luck for Blood Rose to be willing to bring out such precious things. Before, we couldn’t find such a deal no matter how to find it. Although this Cao Zheng was a bit difficult to deal with, we were already the one that was stuck in our guild. He was the highest opponent, and eventually killed these guys. This thing was done very well.

Just after this guy finished speaking, dozens of dead people in this crowd got up right away. The people in this organization are really pervasive. If it weren't for the first wave of sneak attacks by these people and the magician, half of Cao Zheng would have been killed. In terms of people and horses, the ending will definitely not be what they are now. These people have become Cao Zheng’s soldiers and mixed in. This is definitely not only coming in at that time. These people have been here for several years. It's not a day or two that they want to calculate Cao Zheng.Cao Zheng just opened his eyes and didn't close them. He didn't know how he would be killed in this place. The expressions in Cao Zheng's eyes were all unwilling, but there was no way. The matter had reached this point. , What else can you do? Just wait for your soul to leave your body slowly.Nostalgia is useless.

"Cao Zheng is gone. From now on, I will let us have the final say on matters in the south. By the way, it is said that Cao Zheng’s sons are very good. The old guy on the dragon seat will not let Cao Zheng’s descendants. Come to take on this matter? A guy who listens to a woman and looks like a man said that if Li Cong were here, he would definitely be frightened by the millet particles in this guy. This guy is really numb. He is obviously a man, but he is dressed like a woman.

"Cao Zheng has three sons. Let's just go and kill them, but I don't think that many of Cao Zheng's sons have escaped in this catastrophe. We will wait slowly. The third young master of the Cao family is already out of town. The remaining two One is young, the other is waste, there is nothing to chase. We only need to follow the guy in front of us." This guy looked at the back and said as they spoke, behind them is the south, which is where Li Cong is. , I don’t know who Cao Zheng has offended. Someone will pay the blood rose to destroy Cao Zhengman's family. Such a sale is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of taels.This transaction also dared to follow Blood Rose.

The headquarters of this blood rose is on the western seashore, which is at the junction of the Northern Empire and the Western Empire. Both empires want to occupy there. The money spent there every year is not a few, and both manpower and material resources are used. In the end, neither of the two empires occupied it, and in the end it turned into the headquarters of the Blood Rose.It’s not that the two empires never thought about occupying the place from the hands of the blood rose, but the strength of the blood rose is a bit strong, it is not so easy for them to occupy the place, and the second blood rose is also very good at it. Those who use the money in their hands, the money they throw in the two capitals every year would be thousands of miles if they were lined up, so every time they had to use the blood rose, the ministers of the two empires would always have Many people stand up and say that it’s not possible here and there. In the end, they just don’t want them to do this, so they don’t stop. The general killer organization will not do this kind of business. They are also afraid of offending the court. The mission of the empire is very much like it. The two empires have nothing to do with it. From the perspective of other assassin organizations, if someone like Cao Zheng moves, it will be finished. Look at the blood rose. Come is the silver of white flowers.

"But this kid is a magician. As far as I know, it is still a dual-line magician. If it is known by the magician guild, let's kill this kid. They will definitely not let it go." Another guy Said, when he talked about the Mage Guild, the brows of several people frowned. Yes, there is also the Mage Guild. The four of them are very capable, and they are definitely a first-rate assassination team among the Blood Roses, but For the Wizards Guild, they are not bullshit. It is too easy to get rid of them. That is to say, the blood rose of the imperial powers is not in the eyes. If the Wizards Guild gets angry, send a few big Magician, the headquarters of the Blood Rose cannot be kept either.

"The Mage’s Guild is certainly very powerful. We can’t afford to provoke this, but this kid is different. If we can do it cleanly, without leaving any evidence, check it out there. It won’t reach our heads without anger. What are you afraid of? Don’t you think that a third-level magician can run out of our hands?” said the earth-based magician. The unity, but this guy seems to be an exception. The vast majority of magicians are members of the magician guild, but these people who have joined the killer organization are not in this range. The killer is definitely not a profession for a magician. , You can join any mercenary organization, but you must never join a killer organization. Killers attack others in the dark. Magicians are definitely not like this. Magicians must face even the most powerful enemy. To stand up and confront these guys head-on, there will be nothing hidden.

"Yes, no matter how genius this kid is, he is just a genius. Such a genius is just a good seed, not a powerful character. According to intelligence, there are only five or six high-level fighters around him, level 7 and level 8. Soldiers are not at all difficult for us. We just need to kill this guy. I don’t want to stay in this environment anymore. The tide of beasts this time is very terrifying. Our organization is already for it. We have sent the news. Jiang Ningcheng has already discovered an eighth-level beast. This is definitely not a simple beast wave. Let's finish our things early and go back." The guy at the eighth-level warrior peak said He is indeed qualified to say this. Just now, the two eighth-level fighters were killed by this kid with a single blow. Regarding the goods around Li Cong, he does not need to look at those guys and kill with a single blow. It was a normal thing, that was Li Cong, he didn't even take it seriously.

"Okay. Since everyone feels it's right to kill that kid, we don't want to inked. The kid is rushing to the north. If we head south, we can see the kid in half an hour. At that time, we will rush out and kill this kid by surprise." The boss nodded and said, and the other men in black put away their blood rose signs.Although it was very cryptic at first, Cao Zheng didn't even see it, but this time the matter was too confidential. If the Wizards' Guild knew that one of their genius magicians was killed by the blood rose, it would have to be furious, magician. The union is not so bully.They will definitely make the blood rose pay a huge price.

Li Cong has been away from here for another hour. The feeling of anxiety is getting worse and worse. The surrounding monsters have increased a little bit. Li Cong still has no sense of danger to them. On the contrary, these monsters are coming. Li Cong became more and more at ease when more time came, but Li Cong became more and more frightened as he moved forward.As if there was some danger in front of him, "Master, are you okay?" Bai Er saw that Li Cong's face was getting paler and paler, what's going on.

"It's okay, it just feels a little boring. Maybe it's because the smell of blood around is too strong. Please be alert, let's hurry up." Li Cong said with a smile, but that smile seemed reluctant to everyone. Bai Er doesn't know how to comfort his young master. There are tens of thousands of monsters around here, what else is there to watch? Just now a few monsters wanted to come over and they were torn away. There are such guys as bodyguards. What's so scary, this kind of formation is absolutely no problem even to the inside of the Warcraft Mountains. Now the highest-level Warcraft is already the seventh-level Warcraft Leopard. These guys are much more powerful than the Tila Chi Wolves. They are here, and they can win with the number of ninth-level monsters. They have thousands of them.

"Keer, Keer, it's not good, it's not good, your father had an accident." Just when Li Cong was upset, Li suddenly came out of the carriage, crying and said, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand. , That jade pendant has become two halves.

"Mother, what's the matter? Is it a dream? Father left earlier than we did. It is impossible for things to happen, so don't think about it." Li stepped from a stride to the carriage, without knowing the news of Cao Zheng. How could a woman of the Li family know it, it must be the reason for the dream, but people like Cao Zheng have no affection for Li family, but Li family cared about this husband very much, and felt resentment towards Cao Zheng in her heart. It has deepened a bit.

At this time, Li was already speechless. He pointed at Cao Yan and asked Cao Yan to speak out. Cao Yan was also in a bad mood. When he came out, it happened that the uncle and the guy hadn't come back, Li Naturally, he wouldn’t wait for a guy like that to come back, so he stunned Cao Yan and took him into the car. Although he didn’t have any good feelings for Uncle Sun, he was a husband and wife for many years. Cao Yan was still a little sad. Plants and trees, who can do so chic?

"Little brother, it’s not like that. This is the jade pendant that my father gave to my mother. He said that he can know the situation of the other piece. If there is an emergency, it will be crushed. The other side knows it. It was given to him before he left the city. Mother’s, now this one hasn’t moved but it’s broken, on the father’s side..." Cao Yan’s face showed anxious look, she didn’t dare to go on, her husband is dead, and this father can’t have an accident. If something happens again, I really can't stand it.

There is such a thing, and Li Cong is also a little sad about Cao Zheng's murder. Although this guy is not here, he is still good to himself.I don’t always want this guy to die like that. It seems that my hunch is correct. Someone really wants to target him, and this person should be quite capable. Cao Zheng’s identity is half the world. Know that people who dare to kill Cao Zheng will not exceed three people in the entire empire.The emperor would rule it out first, even if Jiangning was gone.Cao Zheng is useless, but the emperor will never kill Cao Zheng in order to preserve his reputation and other clerks. It will chill many people. Then it is not the emperor, but a few others.

Although Li Cong did not come to this planet for a long time, he was still very clear about the power institutions on the entire planet. On the surface, the Northern Empire was still a situation where the Yellow Emperor ruled the world, but the emperor of the Northern Empire was already old. .Even if this old guy went to see God tomorrow, there is nothing doubtful. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the old emperor left hundreds of sons. Are there any useful ones among these sons, but there are also Very capable, people sum it up, there are at least a dozen princes capable of aspiring to the throne.The old emperor’s age is already very old, and he doesn’t have much time to deal with this. As long as these sons are not out of line, this old guy will not take care of these things. With one eye closed, courtiers can't be like the old emperor.They have to start the team, and one by one, they want to mix with the credit of the escort, and then they and their family will have a very good life in the future. Each of these people have been ruthlessly attacked by the old emperor. , They have not understood one by one, and the credit is not so easy.

Among these ministers, Cao Zheng is an alternative.This guy is not close to any prince, so he will do things right away if he needs to do something. Of course, a memorial will come to the old emperor’s eyes when doing something. Cao Zheng doesn’t know how many times he has done this. The princes all wanted to kill Cao Zheng one by one. I have never seen such a person, but such talents are true cronies of the emperor. The person who killed Cao Zheng may be the current prince or the prince. The prince, other imperial forces cannot have this ability. Other people may not know the energy around Cao Zheng. Li Cong knows that there are thousands of level six fighters, which ordinary people can kill?The impossible.

"Brother, what are you thinking, do you know about your father?" Cao Yan saw Li Cong thinking about things without saying a word, "I knew that at the beginning of the year, the prince's doorman came down and asked his father to pay a tribute. For money, at that time my father intercepted the tax and paid it. Now it must have been discovered, not the Prince’s side?" Cao Yan thought of an incident at the beginning of the year. The prince’s doorman came down to ask Cao Zheng for 30 million. Silver, where did Cao Zheng go to get so much silver, it can only be withheld from the tax. Li Cong shook his head. It is definitely not the matter. He is a superior person, and the superior person thinks about sexual intercourse. Understand that things like money are all foreign objects to them. If it is really because of money, the old emperor found out, at most he would just curse Cao Zheng, and he would definitely not kill him. As for the prince, it is even more difficult to do such things. After Cao Zheng had the first filial piety, there will be a second time. The prince fought so hard with the princes, and the princes in places like Cao Zheng were them. The strongest support is that they can't destroy the Great Wall by themselves. These people are not fools one by one, and they certainly won't do that.

"I don't have a clue right now. My father won't tell us anything about it. Sister, don't worry anymore. Go inside. Everything will be my own. Nothing will happen." Li Cong comforted, and Cao Yan points. He nodded and went back to the carriage, because of this incident, Li Cong also came to be a coachman himself, and the three women behind this were none of them to be lost. Although Wu Liu was also loyal, he was one of them when things happened. Ordinary people are helpless more often.

"Roar..." The Tila Chi wolf and the other two monsters yelled at the same time. It seems that things are not that simple. Li Cong knows that it must be the factors of instability. I thought about it all right.

"Hehe, this kid really isn't an ordinary person, what kind of ability is he? Isn't he a magician? Can a magician let so many beasts protect himself? Why don't you, a magician, have such ability? "The four guys appeared on the tree in front, and the eighth-level pinnacle warrior said with a smile. Although the monsters in front of him are terrible, the four guys are sure to kill Li Cong in them and then retreat all over. This is their ability, this is the ability of Blood Rose, they have done something more powerful than this assassination, so they are just a little surprised at the situation in front of them, and there is absolutely no sense of fear.

"What's the matter with strange people? Many of the magicians have a lot of skills. This seems to be a kind of animal training ability. This is nothing, it doesn't matter. As long as we kill this kid, the monster will naturally I won't care about us anymore." The magician said, she had seen such things, so she didn't think there was anything rare, that is, these ignorant warriors were surprised to see such things.

"Who are you guys?" A guard stood out and said. There were some people on the road, and they were all strong, but they never stopped the monsters. These monsters are obviously also very scared of the people in front. , The only thing that scared Warcraft was people who were much stronger than them. Except for the eighth-level peak fighter, no one could see the strength of anyone else. Everyone knew in their hearts that those guys were exceptionally powerful. .

"Open the skylight and speak up. We are here to take Cao Ke's life. Of course, you can't leave. I'll count how many of you there are. Remember all of them. Let us enjoy the way we kill people. That's it." Still the eighth-level pinnacle warrior spoke, as if this kid is a miscellaneous character in this combination.(To be continued.
