Chapter 7 Benefits

  Since the two have already had a preliminary intention to cooperate, it's much easier to talk about next steps. For example, Cao Cao asked straightforwardly: "Among the many armed leaders, who can deal with that evil person?"

  Liu Xuan also straightforwardly didn't show any concern: "Dong Zhuo!"

  Cao Cao heard this name and immediately fell silent, thinking carefully for a while before having to admit that what Liu Xuan said was indeed correct.

  The Han dynasty is now in a state of great disorder and confusion, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion has led to many local warlords rising up with their own armies. Among them, Dong Zhuo's actions are the most blatant.

  No matter how much the imperial court rewarded him, Dong Zhuo only guarded his own land and would immediately come up with all sorts of excuses if anyone tried to transfer him.

  Dong Zhuo is currently fighting against the bandits of Wang Guo with Huangfu Song. After this battle, it should be rewarded according to reason, but Cao Cao guessed that Dong Zhuo would not give up his hard-won power.

  This person is acting in such a way that they clearly have ulterior motives. Now that Liu Xuan has mentioned bringing this person and their troops into the capital, everything is clear.

  However, Dong Zhuo was a person that Cao Cao had no good feelings towards. After figuring out the key point, his eyebrows furrowed together and never relaxed again. Fortunately, he soon understood that Dong Zhuo was just being used by Liu Xuan as a knife for killing people, and after being used, he would probably not have a good ending either.

  Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his head and take another look at Liu Xuan. He saw that the prince was sitting upright with his back straight, not moving in the slightest, and a slight smile played on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under control.

  Suddenly curious in his heart: "If I had clearly refused just now, what would happen?"

  Liu Xuan smiled and said, "If Meng De refuses to surrender, I'm afraid today will be a bloody disaster!"

  Cao Cao's eyelid twitched, and his left hand involuntarily reached for his weapon. As one of the eight military captains of the Western Garden Army, he was also a martial general, always fully armed and equipped on the training grounds.

  After leading Liu Xuan back, although he was invited into the inner chamber, his armor and sword did not leave his side. Having gone through a life-and-death struggle, he still had some confidence in his own martial arts skills.

  Although Liu Xuan is physically strong and healthy, he has never experienced hardship or encountered any danger of swords and soldiers as a rich son who grew up in the deep palace. Is this statement too arrogant?

  "It seems that I was a bit rash in agreeing to join forces with this Crown Prince earlier! With such arrogance, it's unlikely he'll achieve great things..."

  He had just thought of it, and saw Liu Xuan raise his arm on the other side. He only saw his left arm raised high and swung down fiercely. Cao Cao almost didn't see what was going on, and then he saw Liu Xuan's arm bring up a burst of golden cloud energy. Immediately after that, a crescent-shaped aura shot out from his hand, and with a "ka-la" sound, it cut the desk in the room into two segments.

  Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and his hands immediately stopped moving, staring at the bookcase that had been split in two, he fell silent for a moment.

  This didn't scare Cao Cao, but it startled Cao Ang. Looking at Liu Xuan's gaze, which was full of incredulity, he couldn't help but think that the imperial son he had served for so long knew such a tactic? The move just now, for many people, was probably only understood by those immortal masters as a divine technique.

  Only Liu Xuan knew that the move just now was not a divine technique at all, but simply the condensation of internal energy into a crescent-shaped knife aura, which was then released to slash and kill the target.

  Even so, it's still a bit difficult for him now. With his current cultivation level, if he wants to use the "Half Moon Slash", he needs to mobilize all the dragon energy in his body and then burst out, and also borrow the power of his weapon to be able to freely use it and kill enemies. If he uses it bare-handed, at most it's just for show, and its actual power is not that great. The reason he was able to cut through the bookcase earlier was because he used all his strength, and could only do it once.

  At the same time, just now, Zhan's book case was already his limit. If he really cut at Cao Cao, it would probably only hurt this armor-wearing hero a bit. So just now, he was just showing off his skills. If he really wanted to kill Cao Cao, he definitely wouldn't use this move, but instead would use a more practical method - his fists!

  Don't underestimate Liu Xuan's fist, his current strength is such that even if Guan Erge brought the Qinglong Yanyue knife, he could wield it like a spiral propeller.

  Moreover, the indoor space is small and it's even more inconvenient to use weapons. If Cao Cao reacted quickly enough, he should have run out at the first time, but now it's not necessary to waste that effort. It can be said that Cao Cao's choice has saved himself from a fatal disaster.

  Cao Cao was thinking the same thing at this moment, looking at that desk, he didn't think he was any harder than the desk. It seemed that this great prince wanted to take his life, which wasn't a difficult task after all.

  But thinking of this, he always felt awkward - the other party would do so, indicating that this prince indeed valued himself very much, and valued him to the point where if he couldn't get him, he would kill him, just in case he would cause trouble for himself in the future.

  From the conversation just now, Cao Cao learned that even General He Jin was not taken seriously by this prince, but he himself received such attention. Should he be happy or depressed?

  Apart from this point, there is also Liu Xuan's method that he just revealed. If he didn't guess wrong, he had seen such ability before...

  "Does the Crown Prince still understand the mysteries of the universe?"

  This remark made Liu Xuan pause, not expecting Cao Cao to recognize it. But after thinking deeper, he suddenly realized: Cao Cao had personally led troops against the Yellow Turbans and must have understood some of their shallow Taoist magic, which was probably used by the Yellow Turban thieves in a similar way.

  "Has Meng De ever seen it?"

  Since the two reached a cooperative intention, Liu Xuan has been calling Cao Cao's name.

  "The Zhang brothers had once used a kind of dark magic, and whenever the black wind rolled in, the soldiers who were caught in it would either vomit uncontrollably and become weak in their limbs, or die instantly with their bodies turning green as if they had been poisoned, it was extremely deadly!"

  It seems that he recalled the scene he had seen at the beginning, and Cao Cao's face turned ugly, because some of his personal soldiers were also killed by that witchcraft. If it weren't for the Yellow Turbans being on the verge of collapse at that time, things might have gone badly wrong for him.

  Liu Xuan listened to Cao Cao's description and became more and more curious in his heart.

  He has been aware that he came to this world since the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but whether it is a legend or history, he can't figure out. Looking at it now, it seems more like a legend?

  At the same time, he was very curious about what level of cultivation this world's monks had reached. The key was to judge whether this world had the ability to threaten his own existence. If there was, then his own cultivation problems would have to be grasped even more tightly, and at the same time, he would also have to prepare more life-saving treasures.

  If it's within his controllable range, then he can spare some energy to develop his own power - he still has the idea of establishing a vast empire to take revenge on those bastards!

  Although he can be sure that his enemy is definitely not in the galaxy where he is currently located (the escape method he used with all his might is not just a mere talk, even he himself does not know how far he has escaped), they will meet sooner or later. He can't wait until they bump into each other before starting to prepare, right?

  Moreover, that empire has always emphasized expansion when it was in charge, who knows when it will attack here, before that, at least develop enough strength to protect itself.

  Now that I've heard Cao Cao's words, it seems that the cultivators of this world aren't particularly powerful. Perhaps some of the great masters need to be guarded against, but most are not worthy of fear.

  At the same time, the dragon energy of the Son of Heaven has a strange effect of warding off evil spirits. It is even immune to some unusual and mysterious dark magic. As long as one's true strength is not inferior to one's own, then it is impossible for others to harm oneself.

  Liu Xuan only said that he had inadvertently found an ancient scroll in the imperial palace, and according to law, he had practiced some mysterious techniques, while using some of the easy tendon tempering methods recorded inside to enhance his physique.

  When he said this, he noticed that Cao Cao's eyebrows jumped lightly and his eyes involuntarily glanced at him.

  Liu Xuan was puzzled by what he had just said that caught Cao Cao's attention, and immediately came to his senses.

  Cao Cao was seven feet tall. According to his previous habits, he was only about 1.6 meters tall, and there was nothing unusual about his appearance.

  It's definitely not true to say that Cao Mengde didn't care about his appearance. Liu Xuan still remembered a record he had read before, which said that when Cao Cao met with the envoy of the Huns, he felt that his appearance was not good and ordered his subordinates to impersonate him, while he himself disguised as a guard.

  It can be seen that at the end of the Han Dynasty, the famous treacherous minister, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, was quite dissatisfied with his appearance and figure. Now that he has heard that Liu Xuan has a special technique to refine his body, how can he not care?

  Liu Xuan thought for a moment, if he wanted to win this person over, it was only natural to give him some benefits. Moreover, the so-called "tempering tendons and bones" method wasn't anything special, just some basic methods that relied on medicine and simple qigong exercises to temper the tendons and bones. To himself, it didn't amount to much. If he could use this thing to win the other person over, why not do it?

  He reached into his bosom and took out a jade piece, then handed it to Cao Cao: "Today's matter, do not let others know for the time being. If there is an urgent matter, you can use this object as a token to find me!"

  Cao Cao nodded and took over the jade piece.

  Just as his fingers touched the jade piece, he was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also curled up slightly. He pretended that nothing was unusual and took the jade piece over, then bowed to Liu Xuan with his hands clasped together.

  Liu Xuan always carried some jade pieces with talismans engraved on them, which could transmit messages and record things. Just now, when he reached into his sleeve for a moment, he recorded the method and the required medicine on the jade piece. As soon as Cao Cao took it, a message rushed directly into his mind, making him slightly stunned.

  This message is not grand, it just tells Cao Cao what this thing is and how to use it. After Cao Cao took it over, he tried it slightly, and indeed, he could know the information recorded in the jade piece. He then bowed his hands to thank Liu Xuan.

  At the same time, he secretly marveled in his heart: "This Xuanmen technique is actually so ingenious?" Although he still didn't think it would be of any help in competing with Liu Xuan for the throne, it did add a bit to his confidence.
