Chapter 260

"I'll go slay him right now!"

Saying this, Old Dian Wei didn't wait for Lord Yuan Shao to offer the wine; he turned and walked quickly out of the commander's tent.

Leaving Lord Yuan Shao there, his expression stiffened slightly, but the next moment he recovered. Then, he looked at the lords with a smile and said: "Haha! It seems General Old Dian Wei is very confident! I hope he succeeds! We cannot let that Hua Xiong continue to be arrogant."

At the same time, he felt very regretful in his heart.

Blaming himself for not having the headache earlier or later, but exactly at that moment, missing this opportunity to openly and legitimately plot against Old Dian Wei.

"Haha! Yes! Let's hope General Old Dian Wei succeeds!"

The other lords didn't know what was on Lord Yuan Shao's mind and echoed with laughter.

Lord Yuan Shu, however, always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

He just thought it was his own illusion.

At this time, Cao Cao spoke up: "Don't worry! I am very clear about General Old Dian Wei's strength! A mere Hua Xiong is definitely no match for General Old Dian Wei!"

Come to think of it, every time he saw Old Dian Wei, he felt a sense of palpitation.

But he didn't know exactly what it was.

He just felt that Old Dian Wei was very approachable.

If it weren't for the fact that Old Dian Wei was a die-hard loyalist to Su Xuan, he would have wanted to ask for him.

What a pity...

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lord Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao with a surprised expression: "It seems, Mengde, you are very familiar with General Old Dian Wei's strength!"

"It's alright!"

Cao Cao nodded affirmatively: "General Old Dian Wei was already a peerless fierce general at the Gang Qi level back when we were suppressing the Yellow Turban rebels!"

"By now, his strength is probably even more terrifying!"

"I think the one who knows General Old Dian Wei best should be Su Boyuan! Right? Su Boyuan!"

Saying this, Cao Cao looked at Su Xuan.

Lord Yuan Shao and the others also shifted their gazes.

Su Xuan smiled faintly: "That is indeed the case! A mere Hua Xiong is definitely no match for Old Dian Wei! There will be no surprises."

Having said this, Su Xuan also gave Lord Yuan Shao a subtle glance.

Lord Yuan Shao was preoccupied and didn't notice.

Instead, he thought with some relief in his heart: "That Old Dian Wei was already a peerless fierce general at the Gang Qi level 6 years ago?"

"Then it's fortunate that the poisoning didn't succeed just now; otherwise, if Old Dian Wei were killed by Hua Xiong, Su Xuan would definitely be suspicious, right?"

"And, I remember that this Su Xuan is also a divine physician;"

"If Old Dian Wei were really killed by Hua Xiong and Su Xuan became suspicious, he would definitely perform an autopsy himself;"

"In that case, my poisoning would probably not be hidden!"

"Good thing! Good thing! Fortunately, the sudden headache saved all of this;"

"Could it be that this wasn't an ordinary headache, but a warning from destiny?"

"It seems that with the decline of the Han destiny, my Lord Yuan family's destiny has not only greatly reduced the backlash, but my own destiny has also improved a lot!"

"Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have happened!"

"Sure enough, I am the true Son of Destiny! Just like Emperor Emperor Guangwu back in the day!"

"Haha! This future master of the world will definitely be me!"

Lord Yuan Shao thought with surging emotions for a moment.

This left Su Xuan, who was reading Lord Yuan Shao's thoughts through mind-reading, feeling very speechless.

Did this guy get something wrong?

Is he really this narcissistic?

Also, Lord Yuan Shao actually knows that Emperor Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu, was the Son of Destiny back then?

It seems that the Lord Yuan family has relevant records about all of this!

At the same time,

On Old Dian Wei's side, after leaving the commander's tent and mounting his horse, he soon arrived outside the camp,

And seeing that Hua Xiong, he easily saw through his cultivation.

"Peak of the Golden Core realm? Not too bad, I suppose!"

The next moment, Old Dian Wei spurred his horse and charged toward Hua Xiong.

The moment Hua Xiong saw Old Dian Wei, his pupils shrank violently, and he thought: "This person has such a strong aura! Not to be underestimated! I must be caref..."

"Pfft!"

The next moment, the exotic beast steed under Old Dian Wei suddenly accelerated, darting forward more than ten meters in an instant.

Old Dian Wei swung one of the iron halberds in his hand, and before Hua Xiong could even react, it instantly sliced across Hua Xiong's neck.

Immediately, Hua Xiong's head soared into the sky, splashing a column of blood.

Old Dian Wei waved his hand, controlling his Gang Qi to project outward, grabbing Hua Xiong's flying head from the air and taking it into his hand.

Avoiding the column of blood, he turned his horse around, ignored the thousands of cavalry Hua Xiong had brought, and returned to the camp.

Those cavalrymen brought out by Hua Xiong were stunned on the spot when they saw this scene, unable to accept it for a moment.

Their invincible general was just killed in seconds like this?

Without even a chance to resist?

Was the enemy general actually this strong?

"Retreat!!"

A dozen breaths later, the Xiliang general who had reacted shouted in panic.

He immediately woke up these dazed Xiliang soldiers and then led them in a panicked escape toward Hulao Pass.

On the side of the allied commander's tent,

"Report! Great news! Great news! General Old Dian Wei fought for less than one round and killed the enemy general Hua Xiong!"

A messenger rushed in first and reported.

"What?"

The lords were all greatly surprised.

This Old Dian Wei is actually this powerful?

"Clatter!"

At this moment, Old Dian Wei also strode in, threw Hua Xiong's head on the ground, and cupped his hands: "I have not failed the mission! Hua Xiong's head is here!"

"Also, the Xiliang army brought by Hua Xiong is probably already in rout. I suggest that we immediately lead the army to pursue and kill them, and while the enemy's main general is dead and the enemy army is in chaos, capture Hulao Pass in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Lord Yuan Shao felt very uncomfortable inside, but he also felt very fortunate.

He thought: "This Old Dian Wei is indeed as Mengde said, very powerful! Fortunately, I didn't succeed earlier!"

"It seems that in the future, I cannot easily use this trick on the generals under Su Xuan!"

"Otherwise, it's easy for things to go wrong!"
