C5 One of the Zilong from Zi Min Yue Traceless

"That prick of Yuan Lu should have passed the Mausoleum of Le Mausoleum by now, right?" In the lobby of Hou Mansion, Gongsun Zan rubbed his forehead as he asked Guan Jing, who just came in.

"This is probably the end of the tenth era." Guan Jing looked at the moon outside and guessed: "She has been gone for six hours, maybe she has already gone to the southern part of the country."

"You didn't cause any trouble when you left, did you?" Gongsun Zan asked in disdain.

"No!" Guan Jing shook his head with a strange smile, "Young Master Yuan has yet to recover from typhoid fever, so I found a carriage for him to ride on. I also sent a beautiful dancer to accompany him. Young Master Yuan is quite happy."

"Yuan Road (Yuan Shu Road) actually sent such a young man to join up for a marriage. What an unfilial son!" Gongsun Zan scolded Yuan Shu as he shook his head and sighed, "That brat is too reckless. He had a good fight, but I will give him four hundred horses and a hundred cavalry.

In the past, when the eighteen dukes were seeking revenge against Dong Zhuo, Alliance Master Yuan Shao had appointed his own brother, the one who was overseeing the Nanyang at that time, Yuan shi, to be in charge of the food. Yuan Shi greedy good money, often stealthily kowtow the food of the dukes, and his old grudge with the Liu Bei is even worse. Liu Bei couldn't bear it any longer, so he ordered Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to make a ruckus, forcing them to come before the dukes to talk about the matter. Fortunately, Liu Bei's schoolmate Gongsun Zeng, who was then the head of the Imperial Guard in Beiping, tried his best to mediate, and the two sides didn't fight each other on the spot.

Since then, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan had a relationship. Later on, Yuan Shao became their common enemy, and the two sides had a close relationship. Two years ago, they had even specially concluded a pact against Yuan Shao. The most important one was that Yuan Shu used food and salt to exchange for a war horse from Gongsun Zan.

In the past few years, Yuan Shu had exchanged thousands of war horses from Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi was invincible, causing Yuan Shu to be extremely envious. Every time they exchanged horses, they would think of ways to 'borrow' some cavalrymen. Gongsun Zan had already 'borrowed' nearly a thousand men, but he never returned one back.

Gongsun Zan did not care about the war horses, but he cared about the elite cavalry. In the past, he would only give 20 to 30 people at most, but this time, there were 100, and he would even give out 400 horses for nothing. The main reason was because Gongsun Xu beat up Yuan Lu, making the marriage impossible.

Hearing Gongsun Zan's sigh, Guan Jing laughed and said, "Young Marquis and Young Miss have such a deep relationship, the Marquis should be happy. How could a few hundred soldiers be worth mentioning?"

"Happy? I really can't get happy! " Gongsun Zan shook his head and pretended to be angry, "road Yuan is cunning and unpredictable. If this marriage is rejected, who knows if he will do something to her in the dark again!"

Guan Jing persuaded, "Master Hou, you are overthinking it. If you want a warhorse, you definitely won't dare to side with them. There are still several dukes between the other two, so what can he do even if he does something? "

"That's true. Road Yuan has always been at odds with Tao Qian, Wu Tie and the others. As long as Liu Tie doesn't die, Road Yuan will not dare to break with me." Gongsun Zan nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "If you ask me, do you know how my son evaluates this unfinished marriage?"

Guan Jing said happily, "I'm willing to listen to the details."

"Can Tiger Girl An marry my son? "Haha!" Gongsun Zan laughed, a smug look on his face.

Guan Jing praised, "Little Marquis, your words are true, I admire you!"

Gongsun Zan stopped laughing and asked, "Is there any news about Liu He?"

"Nothing. The last time Master Hou had sent out an envoy, that Liu He had said that his status was low, and had asked Master Hou to send his subordinates to negotiate. How arrogant! Now that I've been abandoned by the duke for half a month, this subordinate thinks that I can send someone else over? "

"It's time to go! "Who should I just let go?" Gongsun Zan hesitated.

"Father, your son is willing to go!" At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door, and Gongsun Xu walked in with large strides. He had just come out of the training field, and his black tight suit was covered in dust and sweat stains.

"Absolutely not!" Gongsun Zan and Guan Jing objected in unison.

Guan Jing said anxiously, "The Marquis' body is made of gold, how could he take the risk? Liu He was not a man to be feared, but under his command was a brutal and rarely seen brother, and there was also the inappropriate General Yan Rou. These three were not his men! How could the young duke leave safely once the other had set their sights on him? "

Gongsun Zan frowned and said, "What the scholar says is extremely true. Zhong Ying (Tian Kai) and Liu Yu have quite a good relationship. Let him go to Pingkang."

Just as Gongsun Xu was about to argue, another person rushed in and shouted: "Brother, brother, brother, how can you give your brother's capable subordinate to Yuan Shu? Please allow this little brother to chase him back immediately! "

The man was wearing a set of fine fish scales. He had a wide mouth, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He was Gongsun Zan's disciple, Gongsun Fan. This person was brave and good at fighting. He was extremely loyal to Gongsun Zan. Even after many attempts at persuasion by Yuan Shao, he still failed. Gongsun Zan also had great trust in him. The twenty thousand White Horses under his command belonged to him.

"A capable subordinate?" Gongsun Zan was surprised for a moment, and then asked Guan Jing in surprise, "Si Qi, the one who followed Yuan Lu back was chosen by you, how can you give Academy Officer to Yuan Shu?"

In Gongsun Zan's opinion, someone who could be called a capable subordinate by this brave disciple should at least be Academy Officer who could lead an army by himself.

Before Guan Jing could reply, Gongsun Fan quickly waved his hands, "It's not Academy Officer, it's military lord!"

It was just military lord? Gongsun Zan smiled in surprise, but in his heart, he didn't think much of it.

The system of the great man was set to be five men, a general, ten men, a man, a man, a man, a captain, a hundred men, a chief, two hundred men, a song, military lord, a thousand men, commanded by Academy Officer or some other Sima.

military lord was actually two hundred people long. They were not big or small, but Gongsun Zan, who had more than a hundred thousand soldiers, obviously didn't think highly of military lord.

Gongsun Fan stomped his feet and cried out, "Aiya, brother! That Zhao Yun is an exceptional rider with superb riding skills. None of my subordinates can compare to him!"

Gongsun Zan was stunned, "Such a talent, why didn't I know about it?"

Gongsun Fan said in shame, "I just found out, I haven't had the chance to report."

Gongsun Xu had already been upset for a while, how could he forget about such a powerful man? At this time, he didn't have the time to argue about Liu He's matter. He grabbed Gongsun Fan and asked, "Third Uncle, is Zhao Yun, the one named Zi Long?"

"How do I know?" Gongsun Fan was stunned.

"Aiya! It really was him! Father, your son will go and chase after him! " Gongsun Xu didn't care about changing his clothes and ran out.

"The sky is already dark, ah, this kid!" Gongsun Zan hesitated for a moment before he heard the sound of hooves outside. He could only laugh at himself.

Gongsun Fan and Guan Jing also smiled along with him. The former heaved a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves, "If I go after him myself, how can I chase Zhao Yun back?"

The city gate was already closed, but no one dared to stop Gongsun Xu when he left the city. The city guards opened the gate in panic and watched Gongsun Xu lead a dozen guards and ride out. It was inevitable that they would gossip a bit.

Under the bright moonlight, Gongsun Xu's group flew south along the official road. Originally, they wanted to catch up with Zhao Yun, but after running for a long time, the full moon had risen and they couldn't see a single person. Gongsun Xu felt that something was wrong. He stopped to ask when he passed by a small village. However, after asking, he received bad news: no team of horses passed through the whole day.

Gongsun Xu was dumbfounded as he mumbled to himself, "Strange, where did they go? Did he not walk on the official road? It's already dark, so even if we don't go by the official road, we can't go by the mountain path! "

Gongsun Yi rolled his eyes and said: "Young Master, how about waiting here?"

"Waiting for someone to come? Where should we go to defend? " Gongsun Xu was a bit confused.

Gongsun Yi said, "I've seen Zhao Yun a few times. I know that he is from Zhen Dingshan, and there seems to be a family member who is always ill at home. Zhao Yun cannot quickly return to Huainan, so he will definitely return home. Why don't we go straight to his home and wait for him? "

Gongsun Xu slapped his forehead and cried out, "Aiya, that makes sense! Why didn't I think of that? Does anyone know the way to Zhending County? "

"This little one knows you!" Young Master, please follow me! " Gongsun Yi put his hand on the horse's belly, turned around and headed towards the southwest.

Everyone turned around and followed him. Under the bright moonlight, they continued to run.

The term 'Chang Shan' in the phrase 'Zhao Zilong' did not refer to Chang Shan as a mountain, but rather the name of a large village outside Zhen Ding County under the rule of Jizhou. Now that the Jizhou was in Gongsun Zan's hands, Gongsun Xu and the rest followed the official road, not afraid of encountering enemy troops. Their speed was extremely fast, and after four hours, they could see the lights of the city.

Gongsun Xu stopped and asked while gasping for breath, "Where do we go next?"

"I don't know either!" Gongsun Yi shook his head and pointed to a village a few miles to the north. "Young master, please wait for a moment. I will go and ask!"

"Go!" Gongsun Xu jumped off the horse and felt an incomparable pain on his thigh. There was an eighty to eighty percent chance that he was suffering from a severe pain. Nine is worn out. He took out his water bag and gulped down a mouthful of water. He thought to himself, "Long distance riding really isn't an easy task. I'm already half dead from exhaustion for my riding skills. How did those fellows who rode their horses for a thousand miles do it?"

Not long after, the sounds of dogs barking and talking could be heard from the village ahead. Then, Gongsun Yi's shout could be heard, "Young master, so this is Chang Shan Town!"

Gongsun Xu was overjoyed. This was something he could do effortlessly. He quickly endured the pain as he mounted his horse and rode towards the village.

When they arrived outside the village, Gongsun Yi led a brown robed old man to greet them. He introduced them, "Young Master, this is Chang Shan Town's doctor, Zhao Shiheng. He is also Zhao Yun's uncle."

"Greetings, old sir!" Gongsun Xu cupped his hands.

Zhao Shiheng did not dare to accept his salute, he stepped aside and cupped his hands: "I dare not accept it! May I ask who you are, young master? What's the matter with asking about Zi Long's family members? "

Gongsun Xu made up an excuse without any hesitation, "We are all good friends of Zi Long, we are just passing by when we go out. We want to visit his family, I hope old sir can lead the way."

"A good friend in the military?" Could it be that all of you have followed the rules of the White Horse? " Zhao Shiheng was surprised. He moved the lantern closer and saw Gongsun Xu's clothing. He frowned and said with an apologetic smile, "This old man would like to ask, you all said that you're good friends in the army. Do you have any proof?"

"A certificate?" Gongsun Xu was stunned. At that time, he didn't even have the time to change his clothes before leaving to chase after them. Now, other than the spear and bow on horseback, there was nothing else. Where did the proof come from?
