"Quick! Get it." Gongsunda was also a warrior who was good at riding and shooting. His eyesight was not bad. He saw a letter tied to the flying arrow.
"No!" General Gongsun Da hurriedly accepted the order and left.
After a while, an arrow with a letter tied to it was held in front of Gongsunda.
Gongsunda looked outside the pass and saw that the tall warrior who was shooting arrows had withdrawn his bow, exited the bow range of the tower, and returned to his white horse.
There was also a petite person sitting on the white horse, who looked like a woman with her bun showing.
woman?
Gongsunda thought of something and became energetic. He hurriedly untied the letter from the arrow and read it carefully.
"Hahaha……"
A loud laugh came from Gongsunda's mouth, shaking the dust off the beams, "The guests are brother Bogui's children."
While handing the snow-white Cai Hou paper to Zuo Ping, who was also looking excited, he shouted loudly to the soldiers on the city wall: "Hurry, open the city gate quickly, follow me out of the gate to greet you."
outside the city gate
Zhao Yun stood beside the horse, holding the reins, secretly on guard and waiting quietly for a response from the city.
Gongsun Yan was riding on the horse, feeling anxious in her heart. She didn't know whether Xiangguan would open the door to welcome him or whether arrows would be fired at him.
Fortunately, they did not wait long, as a commotion soon came from the city gate opposite.
As the winch turned, the heavy city gate opened with a creak, and the suspension bridge on the moat was slowly lowered.
The city gate had just opened a crack, and a strong man with a majestic physique couldn't wait to squeeze out from the crack in the door.
Although he was wearing armor, he did not bring a bag. He was riding towards this side on horseback. Several generals behind him were chasing after them, shouting incessantly.
"Captain Gongsun, please wait for a moment." Gongsunda's general's expression collapsed. He held Gongsunda's helmet in his right hand and urged his horse to pursue him.
How could he open the city gate with just a letter and greet him in person? If the other party had evil intentions and a cold arrow was fired, wouldn't this Xiangguan Pass be stolen by someone's trick?
The general didn't know Gongsunda's thoughts and confidence.
They heard that Aduna was heading south and sent out scouting horses from all directions to report back. There were no large numbers of enemy troops near Xiangguan.
Moreover, he was conceited about his martial prowess, and he felt that these two people would not be his opponents.
As soon as he urged his horse to come closer, he was stopped by the tall warrior who had just done the archery book: "Stop for those who come, please give me a name."
Gongsunda held the reins, slowed down the horse, and finally stopped a few feet away, "A certain Gongsunda."
While shouting, he carefully observed the group of people in the distance.
The warrior who shot the arrow book was tall, more than eight feet tall, with a resolute expression and handsome features. He held a bright silver spear in his right hand and led the horse with his left hand. His shoulders and back were tense under the black robe, and he was obviously on guard secretly.
And the girl sitting on the horse he was holding had black hair, snow-skinned skin, and a pair of bright, clear cat eyes.
Although Gongsunda only saw Gongsunyan a few times when she was a child, he still recognized her at a glance.
After confirming that the person who came was Gongsun Yan himself, Gongsunda was completely relieved.
He hurriedly went to see another knight on a horse.
The knight had a beard, wore a black robe of the same style, and had a package tied to his chest. Judging from the shape, he looked like a child!
"Ahead of us is Brother Bogui's daughter, Ayan?" Gongsun Da jumped off his horse and walked over on foot, regardless of his general's obstruction.
Gongsun Yan was riding on his horse and looked at the strong man walking quickly.
The person who came had a dark complexion and a straight beard on his face. If it weren't for the hideous scar on his right cheek, he would have claimed to be Zhang Fei, and Gongsun Yan would have believed him.
She tried her best to recall this man's face, but the messy memory fragments in her mind were too few and fragmented, and she had no impression of this strong man.
But since the other party knew her name and dared to dismount and come over, there should be no malicious intent.
Gongsun Yan looked at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun just raised his head at this moment. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Yun nodded imperceptibly.
She breathed a sigh of relief and saw that Gongsunda was almost approaching. She hurriedly got off the horse with Zhao Yun's support.
"Uncle." Under the protection of Zhao Yun, Gongsun Yan stepped forward to greet him.
"It's really Ayan." Seeing Gongsun Yan walking up to him and saluting him, Gongsunda looked her up and down, his eyes a little moist.
He was originally the concubine of Gongsun's family, and was promoted by his elder brother Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan respected him as a brother in his heart. Seeing Gongsun Yan standing in front of him, he felt sour in his heart.
"Ayan is suffering!" Gongsunda felt certain when he saw that although her face was a little pale, her energy was good.
He was responsible for guarding Xiangguan Pass, and even though he knew that Gongsun and his siblings might be in danger, he still did not dare to risk his life and property to lead troops out of the Pass for rescue. When he saw her siblings arriving safely, he felt ashamed and ashamed in his heart.
Went for a few minutes.
"Where is A Cheng?" Gongsunda asked, his head turned directly to Xiahou Lan, "Hurry, follow me into the customs."
"Thank you, uncle." I have to say that Gongsun Da's attitude made Gongsun Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
At least for now, she didn't feel any obvious hostility from Gongsunda.
Gongsunda looks rough but is a careful person.
Zhao Yun's alertness was very obvious, and he could guess the reason.
Although he was very worried about Gongsun Cheng, he did not approach Xiahou Lan rashly.
Instead, he walked beside Zhao Yun, letting Zhao Yun raise his gun to guard him.
He only sent the retinue and generals who followed him back to the pass to report the news to Zuo Ping, who was left guarding the city gate.
He walked alone with Gongsun Yan and others, leading the horse towards the city gate.
"Who are these two?"
According to seniority, Gongsun Yan is his niece. Although he is happy in his heart, Gongsun Da has to know how to be close to her.
He simply shifted the topic to Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan.
Gongsun Da's dark face showed some admiration. His brother Gongsun Zan's reputation for his white horse righteousness spread throughout the north, and no one was envious of him.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan are obviously elite members of the Bai Ma Yi group.
Gongsunda asked with a smile, his gaze suddenly froze after he glanced around.
He saw the Wuhuan young man who was tied to the horseback like a torn bag and was unconscious. The hairstyle of his hair was very obvious.
A closer look revealed that in addition to a few white horses, there were more than a dozen fine horses with narrow heads.
Gongsunda had been campaigning in the North for many years, so he naturally saw at a glance that these were Wuhuan horses.
He couldn't help but paused: "Ayan, did you encounter the Wuhuan people?"
Gongsun Yan and the other three looked at each other, and Zhao Yun clasped his fists and responded: "The last general, Zhao Yun, has met Colonel Gongsun. I wonder if the Colonel knows the identity of these Wuhuan cavalry?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Da's shame that had just disappeared filled his heart again.
If the Gongsun siblings were not in danger, he could still excuse himself.
But obviously, it wasn't that they didn't encounter anything, but that Gongsun Yan and the others resolved it on their own.
This made him extremely ashamed as he did not dare to leave the border for rescue.
