By the Luoshui River, which was already some distance away from Yongning City south of Luoyang, I saw two people riding horses, rushing from north to south. One of them looked like a frail scholar, and he was old.
He is not young anymore. Although the speed of this horse is not very fast, the pain of the bumps has made his face pale, and he is obviously too much to bear.
"Zhao, brother Zhao! Hugh, take a rest for a while!" Looking at the energetic companion in front of him, the middle-aged scholar smiled bitterly and finally couldn't help but say.
Hearing the shouts of his companions, the man walking in front immediately reined in the reins. When he turned around, it was a young man. However, this man did not look like the middle-aged scholar. Instead, he was wearing a short coat.
A pair of light armor was hanging outside, and he was holding a long gun upside down in his hand. At first glance, he didn't look very strong, but the strong muscles on his arms exposed from the short coat showed that he was young.
The power contained within a man's body.
The young man didn't have any impatience with the middle-aged scholar's request. He smiled and nodded and said, "I was careless! The gentleman is a scholar, not a rough guy like me! Okay! It's still early, let's
Let’s rest here for a while, after all, after passing Luoshui, we will reach the boundary of Jingzhou, and it’s not far from your destination!”
Hearing that the young man agreed to his request, the middle-aged scholar couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his cheeks turned red again, and he said with a look of shame: "Oh! I've dragged down Brother Zhao! I'm going to drag Brother Zhao down for no reason.
In order to see me off, I traveled all the way from Youzhou to Jingzhou! I had to stop and go all the way because of my subordinates. If Brother Zhao were the only one, I’m afraid this little journey wouldn’t have taken so much time!”
Brother Zhao turned over and dismounted with one clean movement. Hearing the middle-aged scholar's words, he grinned, stepped forward to help the middle-aged scholar dismount, and said, "Sir, what are you talking about! Escorting you back to Jingzhou is my master's responsibility."
The task given to me! Besides, I am a poor boy who stays idle in the village every day. Compared with my husband who has heavy responsibilities and is usually idle, it is not a waste of time!"
"Oh! Brother Zhao, please stop comforting me!" After getting off the horse, the two of them led the mount directly to a tree on the bank of the river. After first helping the middle-aged scholar sit down, Zhao
The brother just sat aside. Looking at Brother Zhao's smiling face, the middle-aged scholar couldn't help but sigh: "How can I have such an important responsibility? If your master hadn't saved my life, I'd be afraid that I
Now I have ended up with a cup of loess and a pile of bones! If I hadn’t heard that something happened in Jingzhou, how could I have dared to come back? I just don’t know whether the news is true or not. I hope it’s not me who foolishly ran away and threw myself into a trap.
!”
Seeing the worried look on the middle-aged scholar's face, Brother Zhao quickly comforted him: "Sir, don't worry! No matter how Jingzhou changes! Since the master asked me to follow you, he wants me to protect your safety with this gun of mine."
Here, I guarantee that no one can hurt a hair on your head!" As he said that, Brother Zhao raised the spear in his hand, but his face showed great confidence.
Seeing the confidence on Brother Zhao's face, the middle-aged scholar couldn't help but be infected, and said with a smile: "Of course I believe in Brother Zhao's ability!"
The middle-aged scholar's smile immediately dissipated the depressing atmosphere between the two of them. They started chatting and laughing and began to cherish the little rest time. Although Brother Zhao had acted very strong and confident before, but
In front of the middle-aged literati, he seemed so simple. When the middle-aged literati told him all kinds of colorful stories in the world, Brother Zhao also showed curiosity and envy on his face.
"Sir! Is the General Huang you are talking about really that powerful? How can he walk freely among hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?" Brother Zhao couldn't help but show a trace of fascination on his face, imagining a general, riding a horse.
The tall horse, armed with a big sword, charged at the siege of countless enemies without any stagnation. Killing the enemy was as easy as picking something out of a bag. How majestic this is!
The middle-aged scholar couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha! I didn't lie to you! I saw this with my own eyes! But this record is a bit watery! To put it bluntly, those yellow scarf thieves are just a group of thieves.
The combat effectiveness of civilians wearing weapons is much lower than that of real soldiers!"
Although the middle-aged scholar explained it, Brother Zhao still said with a longing face: "Even so, it is amazing! I don't know if I can meet this General Huang this time. If I can compete with General Huang,
Ichiban, how great that would be!"
"Hmph!" Just when Brother Zhao finished saying this, his ears suddenly trembled slightly, but he vaguely heard a very subtle cold snort coming from the small forest behind!
Brother Zhao's expression changed immediately. His whole body was like a spring that was pressed to the extreme. He bounced up instantly. He turned around, picked up the gun and picked it up on the ground. A stone on the ground was instantly hit by him.
The tip of the gun was picked up, and it quickly headed towards the small woods behind where the cold snort came from!
At this moment, in the small woods, a sergeant wearing light armor was startled by the sudden flying stones. The speed of the stones was so fast that the sergeant had no time to dodge. Seeing the stones, he
It was about to hit him in the face. Looking at the speed, if he was hit, at least one eye would be destroyed!
At this moment, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of the sergeant, catching the stone firmly! The owner of this big hand was a general wearing fine armor. This general
It was none other than Luo Yang's general, Wenpin, who was sent to Gan Ning's army! Seeing his general coming out, the panic look on the sergeant's face immediately disappeared, and he shouted with joy: "General!"
Wenpin nodded, but his eyes looked at the gun-wielding man outside the woods, with a playful smile on his face. Originally, he did not need to go out personally for this exploration mission, but he was bored in the army.
, then he came out to get some air, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Feeling a numbness from his palms, Wen Zing pinched hard, and immediately crushed the stone into pieces, and his face
He also showed a hint of smile.
"Hiding his head and showing his tail! Who is he? Show yourself quickly!" On the bank of the river, Brother Zhao stared closely at Wenpin, and at the same time walked away, just in time to protect the middle-aged scholar behind him.
"Interesting!" Wenpin muttered, as he walked directly out of the woods with his long knife, and the scouts also followed him out of the woods. Of course, one of them had already rushed back to the army.
, informed Gan Ning, the commander-in-chief of the army, about the information here.
Brother Zhao originally thought he was hiding a thief, but he never thought that he would attract so many armored sergeants. His face tightened, and he quickly pulled up the middle-aged scholar behind him and carefully protected him behind him. Then he shouted loudly.
: "Who are you? Why are you hiding here so secretly? What are your intentions?"
Wenpin chuckled. In terms of age, the brother Zhao in front of him is about the same age as Wenpin. However, since Wenpin followed Luo Yang, he has experienced many battles. At least in terms of experience, he is much better than Brother Zhao, a rural boy.
. When he even said: "What you said is wrong! This is the world of the Han Dynasty, and this road is also the road of the Han Dynasty! What kind of king's law have I violated by staying here with my men? But
You should be the one who made the first move just now!"
"Uh!" Brother Zhao was really speechless when Wenpin asked him this question. He used to follow his master in the village every day and almost never came out. This time, he was ordered by his master to protect this middle-aged scholar.
It can be regarded as the master's approval for him to become a martial arts master. Although his martial arts skills are enough to become a martial arts master, his ability to deal with situations cannot be taught, and he still needs to go through a lot of training.
Hearing what Wenpin said, of course Brother Zhao didn't really think that he was wrong, he just didn't know how to deal with it for a while. On the other side, Wenpin smiled and said: "Let's do it! I think your skills are also good.
Yes, and you dared to say something arrogant just now. You want to compete with General Huang, the first general in Jingxiang. I think your skills should be very impressive! I don’t care about your mistake just now, as long as you can fight with me.
If you defeat me in the field, I will naturally let you leave!"
Brother Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard what Wenpin said, and he asked directly: "Are you serious? As long as I can win you, will you let us go?"
"Hahahaha!" Wenpin couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw that Brother Zhao believed him so easily. Of course, this did not mean that what he just said was a lie. The two men knew it at a glance.
Wenpin, a passer-by, was just jealous, but he didn't want to bully two passers-by! Dang even nodded and said with a smile: "When did I, Wenpin, stop talking! As long as you can win me, those things you just did
During the festival, I’ll pretend it never happened! You take your Yangguan Road and I’ll cross my single-plank bridge!”
"Okay!" Wenpin said so confidently that Brother Zhao immediately shouted, waved the spear in his hand, took a step forward, and put on a posture, ready to meet the enemy. Of course, he also
He did not forget the middle-aged scholar behind him, and said softly: "Sir, please hide aside first! When I defeat this man, we will leave quickly!"
Brother Zhao spoke to the middle-aged scholar, but the middle-aged scholar seemed not to hear him. Instead, he looked at Wenpin with a strange expression, and finally couldn't help but said: "Wenpin? You said your name is Wenpin? But
That Wenpin from Luo Yang’s account?”
ps: Everyone can probably guess who this person is! Ho ho ho ho, idol~~~~
