Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng is Xiaoxiao, the Boy Raises His Sword Chapter 247: The Way Ahead Is Boundless
Outside the south gate of old Zhangcheng City.
Guan Yunchong, one man and one horse, stood under the city gate with his hands behind his back.
He squinted his eyes and twirled his beard from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
Behind him, Huoyun Liushuang stepped lightly on his horse's hooves, making a sound of "tap, tap, tap..." and murmuring from time to time.
"Good horse, let's wait a little longer until our old friend comes. It's not too late to get on the road again." Guan Yunchong fondly stroked its mane.
It seemed to be spiritual, and it suddenly became quiet and stopped moving.
But its bright eyes, just like its owner, looked at the desolate and dilapidated streets inside the city gate, as if expecting someone to appear.
After waiting for a long time, the long street was still empty, not even a single person appeared.
Guan Yunchong shook his head with some regret and said to the horse in a low voice: "Old man, we can't wait any longer. We don't know how many bumps are waiting for us ahead. Let's go, let's hit the road!"
After saying that, Guan Yunchong flicked his clothes and got on the horse. The horse seemed to sense the owner's thoughts, spread its front hooves, and neighed several times.
Guan Yunchong sat on the horse, turned his head again and glanced at the empty long street inside the city gate, and then gently urged the horse: "Let's go! Drive!..."
Huoyun Liushuang had just taken two steps forward when Guan Yunchong suddenly heard two shouts in his ears: "Brother Yunchong, General Guan, go slow, stay! Stay!"
Guan Yunchong was shocked, that voice was so familiar.
They came at the last minute.
Guan Yunchang reined in his horse urgently and said in a deep voice: "Hey——!"
Then he turned his horse's head and looked towards the city gate.
Looking at the long street, two familiar figures suddenly appeared. One seemed to have difficulty moving, and was being held up by another burly man, who hurriedly waved and shouted to him.
While Guan Yunchong was watching, the two men had already arrived in front of the horse.
It is Su Ling and Zhang Shiyou.
In Guan Yunchong's eyes, it was only two days since Su Ling fainted last time, but his face was already pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and his lips were sickly chapped.
Perhaps he was too anxious and ran all the way. Now he was out of breath and had difficulty breathing.
There was someone holding him up on his left side. Guan Yunchong looked and saw that it was Zhang Shiyou, the general under Xiao Yuanche.
It turned out that Su Ling was so weak that he was panting after taking two steps. He was held up by Zhang Shiyou and hurriedly and slowly caught up with Guan Yunchong who was about to leave.
Guan Yunchong quickly turned over and dismounted, and saw Su Ling cupping his hands to salute. He quickly took two steps, held Su Ling's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Su Ling, you are ill, don't be too polite."
Su Ling nodded slowly.
Guan Yunchong and Zhang Shiyou clasped fists in greeting again.
Guan Yunchong glanced at them for a few times, then smiled lightly and said: "Brothers Su Ling and General Shiyou, you are the only ones who miss Guan. You know that Guan is leaving today, so you came to see him off!"
Zhang Shiyou then sighed and said: "General Yun Chong, we have worked together for so long anyway, and we are old acquaintances. Zhang Shiyou respects brother Yun Chong as a person. If you are leaving today, you must come to see him off no matter what.
"
Su Ling panted for a while, and then she felt her breathing became smoother, but her face was still pale without a trace of blood. She said in a low voice: "Brother Yun Chong, do you really want to leave? You really can't stay, even if you wait for my illness.
Well, I’ll personally send Brother Yun Chong on his journey, so he won’t be lonely!”
Guan Yunchong sighed in his heart, held Su Ling's hand tightly and said: "Brother Su Ling, you are the most pure-hearted person I have ever seen. The Prime Minister is in charge of everyone in the camp. Needless to say, Shiyou, I am the most worried.
It’s you, my brother! Now that you are still sick, you are forcing yourself to see Guan off. How can Guan expect to see me off when you recover!..."
Su Ling sighed and said: "Brother Yun Chong is unparalleled in his loyalty and upright conduct. Su Ling has felt inexplicably close to him since he saw him. He really wants to spend more time with him, but Su Ling also
I know I can't stay by force, but Brother Yun Chong, this place is still some distance away from Ba City. The road ahead is long, there are several checkpoints, the county seat, and a big city called Nanzhang Heng there. Brother Yun Chong doesn't have the Prime Minister's warrant, so what?
It’s passable…”
Guan Yunchong smiled faintly and said proudly: "My heart to find my brother is as strong as gold and stone. If they don't stop me when I knock on the door, I will feel grateful in my heart. If they stop me, Guan will also let them know about the Oblivion Dragon Sword."
The power of.”
Su Ling gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "That's all, since Brother Yun Chong has made up his mind, it's useless for me to ask you to stay. But, we say goodbye today, I don't know when we can see each other again."
Guan Yunchong also couldn't let go of Su Ling. After spending the past few years together, he found that Su Ling's style of working under Xiao Yuanche was completely different from everyone else in Xiao Yuanche's camp.
The biggest difference between Su Ling and them is that he takes ordinary people as his ruler and knows what to do and what not to do.
Guan Yunchong thought of this, then he clasped his fists and said to Zhang Shiyou: "Brother Shiyou, I have a few words to say to Su Ling alone..."
Zhang Shiyou was stunned for a moment, then nodded clearly, stepped back a few feet, turned his back, and stood with his hands behind his back.
Only then did Guan Yunchong support Su Ling, his voice was very low, and he said earnestly: "Brother Su Ling, Guan knows that you are different from them, but with your temperament, it does not seem that joining Xiao Yuanche is the best choice.
Ah, Xiao Yuanche is suspicious by nature, and sometimes he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. People around him often regard him as a follower. As long as it is something Xiao Yuanche orders, no matter it is right or wrong, no matter whether it is good or bad for the people
, they don’t follow principles, don’t care about good and evil, they just follow them, and Xiao Yuanche is good at controlling people’s hearts, so Guan feels that if things go on like this, there will definitely be discord between you and them, and even Xiao Yuanche!”
Su Ling knew that these were Guan Yunchong's heartfelt words, and nodded very moved: "What brother Yunchong said is absolutely true, and he is thinking about me, but I have nowhere to go now. I can only stay here with Prime Minister Xiao."
It's pretty stable, and my medical clinic and restaurant business is under his nose, so what can I do? Just take it one step at a time!"
Guan Yunchong sighed, thinking that there was no other way, and then said: "Brother Su Ling, if Guan just says one more word before leaving, if one day Xiao Yuanche no longer regards you as his confidant, brother Fanfan will feel depressed and aggrieved.
Just write to your brother Yun Chong, and across thousands of mountains and rivers, your brother Yun Chong will ride on his horse to pick you up and leave!"
As he spoke, he bowed solemnly to Su Ling.
Su Ling couldn't leave her heart, and when she saw Guan Yunchong's deep affection, her eyes turned red, and she bowed her head and said, "Brother Yun Chong's affection for me, Su Ling understands, and I will never forget it!"
Guan Yunchong then laughed loudly and called Zhang Shiyou over loudly. The three of them held hands with each other again, and Guan Yunchong turned around to mount his horse.
Suddenly I heard the sound of carriages and horses.
The three people hurriedly turned around and looked around, only to see a long street inside the city gate, filled with dust, and a group of soldiers surrounded by a carriage slowly approaching the city gate.
Someone even shouted: "General Guan, go slowly, the Prime Minister has personally sent you here!"
Guan Yunchong, Su Ling, and Zhang Shiyou looked at each other, and then they all stood there with serious expressions on their faces.
After a while, the group of soldiers surrounded the carriage and came to the three people. Another sergeant opened the curtain, and another sergeant moved the stool from the side. However, when a figure flashed past, Xiao Yuanche slowly got out of the carriage.
Walked down.
Guan Yunchong, Su Ling and Zhang Shiyou hurriedly raised their hands and said: "I have seen the Prime Minister (Master)
male)"
Xiao Yuanche glanced at Zhang Shiyou indifferently, and suddenly saw Su Ling also there. His eyes were full of concern and reproach and said: "Brother Su, you are so seriously ill and you didn't even come to your place to rest."
Already..."
Su Ling then replied feebly: "I feel better today. I thought that Brother Yun Chong would have to say goodbye today and I didn't know when we would see each other again, so I asked General Shiyou to give me a ride and come over to see him off."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said, "You and Shiyou still have a deep relationship with General Yun Chong."
With that said, he walked up to Guan Yunchong, smiled faintly at him and said: "Yun Chong, because of what you were leaving two days ago, we had a very unhappy time in my house. Please don't keep it in your mind.
!”
Guan Yunchong quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yun Chong doesn't dare. The Prime Minister gave Yu Chong a banquet every three days and a reward every five days. This grace is engraved in Yun Chong's heart. How can I blame the Prime Minister?"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he nodded and said with a smile: "I have remembered Yun Chong's words. If I encounter Yun Chong on the battlefield in the future, I hope Yun Chong will be more careful."
Guan Yunchong was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Xiao Yuanche understood that Guan Yunchong valued justice, and it was not easy for him to express it like this.
Guan Yunchong suddenly raised his fists and said: "Since the Prime Minister has come to see off Guan, Guan happens to have two things and is about to return them to the Prime Minister."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, I don't know what it is!"
Guan Yunchong turned around, took down a huge baggage from the left side of the horse's neck, placed it on the ground, slowly untied it in front of Xiao Yuanche, and then pointed and said: "These are the things."
Xiao Yuanche nodded, raised his eyes and looked into the baggage. It was better not to look at it. When he looked at it, his face suddenly became serious and hard to look at. He stared at Guan Yunchong with burning eyes and said in a deep voice: "Yun Chong, you
What does this mean?"
Guan Yunchong's expression remained unchanged, he cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said loudly: "As the Prime Minister can see, on the left side are all the gold and silver jewelry that the Prime Minister has rewarded me since I surrendered to the Prime Minister, totaling one thousand gold coins, two thousand silver coins, and
Various precious beads
There are thirty-three treasures in total. Now that Yun Chong is leaving, these many things are quite heavy and inconvenient. In addition, since Yun Chong is not here with the Prime Minister, I feel even more unworthy of these things and should return them to their original state.
host......"
After he said this, except for Su Ling, Zhang Shiyou and Xiao Yuanche's expressions became increasingly difficult to look at.
Xiao Yuanche didn't even look at the gold and silver jewelry, he just raised his head slightly and said nothing.
Guan Yunchong pointed to the right side of the baggage again, and saw a big seal right there.
Xiao Yuanche said in a deep voice: "Yun Chong, this marquis' seal was given to you by the imperial court... You don't even want to do this!"
Guan Yunchong nodded heavily and said: "Even if this is a gift from the imperial court, it is still because of the prime minister. Therefore, it is not as appropriate to say that it is a pavilion of the imperial court as a pavilion of the prime minister. Furthermore, although Guan Mou killed Yan Chou, but
Linting is the son of the Su brothers.
Although Wenliang was annihilated, Brother Su personally killed Wenliang. Guan had no merit, so how could he defeat Tinghou? In the future, when Guan had made great achievements under his brother, he would be granted the title of marquis and general based on his merits.
Not too late!"
"you......"
Xiao Yuanche's face was angry, and he didn't know how to retort. He could only snort and said angrily: "There is no reason to send back what I, the Prime Minister, rewarded! I won't accept it!"
Guan Yunchong seemed to have expected it. He smiled faintly, raised his fist towards Xiao Yuanche and said: "I have returned all the money, and many people present can witness it. As for whether the Prime Minister accepts it or not, it is not something Guan needs to consider.
!”
As he said this, he raised his hands to Xiao Yuanche, then to Su Ling and Zhang Shiyou.
Then he said loudly: "Everyone, take care, Guan is leaving!"
After saying that, he turned back on his horse, raised his whip, and said loudly: "Fire clouds and frost, let's set off on the road!"
After all, Xiao Yuanche cherished Guan Yunchong's talents so much that he had mixed feelings in his heart. Seeing that Guan Yunchong was really leaving, he couldn't help but call out loudly: "Yun Chong, Yun Chong, go slowly, I still have something."
I won't accept gold and silver as gifts, nor will I accept the title of marquis. You should always take a look at this thing."
Guan Yunchong looked a little hesitant. He was afraid that Xiao Yuanche would use an excuse to hold him back and secretly send someone to block his way, so he did not dismount, turned the horse's head, and said with his hands on the horse: "Prime Minister, do you have anything else to send me? Guan Yunchong
Let’s take a look!”
Xiao Yuanche then waved behind him. A sergeant had already walked over with a tray.
Xiao Yuanche took the tray, walked to Guan Yunchong's horse, looked up at him and said: "Yun Chong, I give this to you, don't refuse it!"
Guan Yunchong sat upright on his horse and glanced at the tray, only to see a brand new green robe placed in the tray.
Xiao Yuanche was afraid that Guan Yunchong would refuse again, so he dared to speak before him: "Yun Chong, this robe is no more valuable than gold and silver. You can use it, so don't refuse, okay?"
Guan Yunchong thought for a while, then nodded and said: "In that case, Guan thanked the Prime Minister!"
Xiao Yuanche was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Left and right, replace General Guan!"
Guan Yunchong hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said: "I don't dare to do anything to the Prime Minister and you! Guan just takes it for himself!"
As he spoke, he suddenly took off the dragon spear hanging on the horse, held it in his hand, and gently picked up the green robe in the tray.
A glimmer of light flashed, and when everyone looked again, he had already picked up the green robe on the Dragon Saber.
Guan Yunchong withdrew his sword, and the green robe floated down from mid-air and was covering his body.
Not only Zhang Shiyou was dissatisfied with his move, but all the subordinates behind Xiao Yuanche had fire in their eyes.
This is extremely disrespectful to the Prime Minister!
Xiao Yuanche didn't seem to take it to heart, with an indifferent look on his face.
He suddenly asked: "Yun Chong, I see your inner robe is worn out, why don't you take off this old robe and change it into this new one?"
Guan Yunchong cupped his hands and said seriously: "Although the old robe is torn, it was given by my brother. Guan doesn't dare to forget it!"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
I couldn't say a word.
At this moment, Guan Yunchong cupped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, Su Ling, Shiyou, take care, Guan Yunchong is leaving!"
As he spoke, he turned the horse's head and flicked the whip.
The fire cloud and flowing frost were like a ball of flowing frost fire, heading towards a dense forest ahead.
... ... ... ...
For a long time, Xiao Yuanche still stood there, neither moving nor speaking, with a look of loneliness on his face.
Until there was no trace of Guan Yunchong anymore, Zhang Shiyou carefully reminded him in a low voice beside him: "My lord, General Yunchong has left... Let's go back too... Su
Ling is still ill."
Suddenly, Xiao Yuanche had a look of desolation on his face, and he sighed in a lonely and deep voice: "Come on! Cut down all the trees in the dense forest here outside the city, leaving no one behind!"
"These trees cover my eyes so that I can no longer see Yun Chong's retreating figure..." This chapter has been completed!
