C7 Three from the Moon of the Children of the People Returning to the Heart
Gongsun Xu rolled on the ground a few times before he finally sat up. He used his right hand to cover the wound on his neck and looked very dull. Just now, when the spear had grazed past his neck, that hellish chill had caused him to feel the shadow of death!
"Young duke, are you alright?" The Liu brothers were shocked and quickly rushed over to ask.
"Cough, cough, no problem!" Gongsun Xu stood up, glared fiercely at Zhao Shiheng, and slowly walked towards black robe scholar's corpse.
Gongsun Yi tried to support himself but was pushed away by Gongsun Xu.
Zhao Shiheng was frightened by this stare and regretted his decision in his heart. He whispered, "Zi Rou, who is that Mi Zi Fang?"
So black robe scholar had just arrived at Chang Shan Town yesterday. He called himself Mi Zi Fang, and said that he was a friend of Zhao Yun, and planned to rest for another day before going to Ji County to find Zhao Yun. This man's words and actions were flawless, and Zhao Yun's words and actions were well-founded. Thus, the green-robed scholar, who was Zhao Yun's elder brother Zhao Feng, agreed to let Mi Zi Fang rest at his home for a day. Unexpectedly, a person's life occurred in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Feng frowned and whispered, "Third uncle knows everything that nephew knows!" Third Uncle, that young man should really be Marquis Jin Manor's Junior Marquis! "
"How do you know?" Zhao Shiheng was trembling with fear.
Zhao Feng sighed, "When people are in a hurry, what they say is often the truth! Third Uncle still remember what the two lackeys called out, right? "
Zhao Shiheng was enlightened: "That's right, those two henchmen called him Young Marquis just now! Zi Rou, what should we do? "
"Don't worry, Third Uncle. There shouldn't be any disasters!" Zhao Feng forced a smile, his tone wasn't very sure.
"I hope so."
Gongsun Xu came in front of the dead body and pulled out his spear. Blood spurted out of the wound like a teacup. He used the tip of his spear to poke at the girl's face. He turned around and asked coldly, "Who is this person?"
Zhao Shiheng smiled apologetically: "This person claims to be a guest of Xuzhou, I really do not know his background!"
Gongsun Xu shouted: "Don't know? Can't you just say something that you don't know about? "
"Young Master, please calm your anger!" Zhao Feng cried out, walked over and bowed: "This is indeed our fault, I have apologized to the Young Noble! "If you have any request, master, please speak your mind. If you can do it, we will not shirk our responsibility!"
"No need to be so polite." Gongsun Xu helped Zhao Feng up and the anger on his face disappeared. He asked with a smile, "You are Zhao Yun's elder brother?"
Zhao Feng cupped his hands and said, "That's right, I am Zhao Feng, Zhao Zirou. May I know what business you have here?"
Gongsun Xu waved his hand: "We can talk about this later. Can you find a clean place and I'll bandage the wound first?"
Zhao Feng touched his forehead and said apologetically: "It was my negligence. Young Master, please enter the house."
Wu told Gongsun Yi to go to the outside of the village to tell the others not to be impatient, and followed Liu into the room.
Wu Tie originally wanted to follow them in, but he was blocked by Gongsun Jia's gloomy face. He helplessly backed out of the small fenced yard and instructed the villagers to return home first, leaving behind dozens of young and strong men to go to the village entrance just in case.
The room was sparsely furnished, with a bed and a table and a few straw mats. There was a pot of medicine simmering on top of a small stove under the window, and the room was filled with the strong aroma of medicine.
"The quarters are simple and crude, please do not blame me, Young Master."
"It's fine."
Gongsun Xu casually found a futon and sat down. Zhao Feng brought hot water and a clean white cloth to carefully bandage Gongsun Xu's wound.
Just when the wound was wrapped up, Gongsun Jia called out from outside, "Young Master, the County Magistrate is here."
Gongsun Xu stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.
Outside the fence stood a large group of yellow-clothed county soldier s, and below the steps stood an official dressed in a green official's robe. When he saw him come out, he quickly cupped his hands and said: "I am truly sure that the County Magistrate Zhang Fu greets the Young Marquis. How are the young duke's injuries? "
"It's nothing serious, thank you for your concern, Master Zhang." Gongsun Xu thanked him and looked at the talisman. He looked like he was in his forties.
Zhang Fu looked at the body of Mi Zi Fang and asked, "Young Marquis, may I take a look at that thief?"
"Please." Gongsun Xu extended his hand and followed him.
"Huh?" Zhang Fu personally held onto the lantern and took a closer look before exclaiming, "Amazing! Why would this person appear here?"
Gongsun Xu was overjoyed and asked, "Does Master Zhang know this person?"
Zhang Fu said with a frown: "This man is surnamed Mei Fang, and is a member of the Xuzhou. He is also a famous hero in the Xuzhou, and a few years ago, he paid a visit to this humble official."
Xuzhou Mi Fang? Gongsun Xu was stunned, this person was Liu Bei's future brother-in-law! Right now, Liu Bei was plotting to get Tao Qian's Xuzhou. Mi Fang, who should be Tao Qian's subordinate, suddenly appeared in Jizhou.
"The young duke knows this person?" Zhang Fu noticed the change in Gongsun Xu's expression and tried to probe.
"Heard of it." Gongsun Xu replied in a perfunctory manner, as his mood started to become somewhat agitated. He originally wanted to find Zhao Yun and return, but this matter could not be underestimated. He had to hurry back to the Ji County to discuss this with Gongsun Zan as soon as possible!
'Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun. Where did you go? '
While Gongsun Xu was muttering to himself, at the foot of a nameless hill in Le Ling County, Liu Tie was riding a red horse towards the southwest. Behind him were a few brightly lit tents, from which came the unbridled laughter of Yuan Lu and the woman.
So it turned out that after Yuan Lu left the Youzhou, he had ordered for them to rest after walking for a few dozen miles. And Gongsun Xu had been chasing towards the south, so of course he couldn't find them.
It was just as Gongsun Yi had said, Zhao Yun was preparing to go home to take a look. He was the leader of this escort mission to Huainan, hence if he wanted to go home, Yuan Lu naturally would not reject it.
When the sky to the east revealed the white of dawn, Zhao Yun had already arrived at the borders of Jizhou and was sweating profusely. He saw a gurgling stream in front of him, so he lightly pulled the reins and jumped off the horse. He went to the stream and let the horse drink from it. He also took a few sips from the water bag on his waist.
After resting for about the time of the meal, Zhao Yun was just about to get on his horse and continue on his way when he suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from the north side of the wind. He listened attentively, took out several thick strips of cloth and tied them to the hooves of the horse. Then, he jumped onto the horse and rushed forward.
After running for three to four miles, a small village appeared in front of them. The village was surrounded by torches, and the shadows of people's eyes could be seen. Under the moonlight and the light of the fire, about two to three hundred men with yellow scarves were driving the villagers into an open area in the village. Crying and begging could be heard incessantly. Any resistance from the villagers would be severely beaten or even killed on the spot. A leader dragged a girl into the house. Not long after, a heart-wrenching scream could be heard from inside the house.
'A remnant of the Yellow Mask! ' Zhao Yun flew into a rage and charged forward with his gun raised.
The horses' hooves wrapped around the horse's body silently.
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Yun rushed into the village. The silver gun in his hand stabbed out continuously. Under the flickering silver light, blood splattered everywhere!
Zhao Yun killed more than ten people consecutively, only then did the other yellow-robed soldiers react.
"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"
"Brothers, this is a tough shot. Let's fight it out side by side!"
"Junior Qu General, Junior Qu General!" There's an enemy, come out quickly! "
These yellow-robed soldiers wore messy clothing, but the weapons in their hands were excellent. The long spears and halberds glimmered with a cold light, and they rushed towards Zhao Yun in a mess.
Zhao Yun didn't stop after getting off the horse. He moved the gun in his hand even faster. After dozens of breaths, he had killed a person in the village and left more than 30 corpses of the yellow-robed soldiers behind him!
Junior head, who had dragged the woman into the house earlier, tied up his pants while cursing as he walked out, "Fuck, who the hell is thief that dares to oppose our Army of Heishan? "I will chop them up and feed them to the wild dogs!"
Junior head just finished his sentence and saw the floor full of corpses. He was shocked and angry. He raised his head and saw Zhao Yun turning around to attack him. He picked up a long sword by the door and rushed forward first with a loud shout.
Upon seeing this, the fear in the yellow scarves lessened slightly, and they all shouted as they rushed forward.
"Go to hell, you son of a bitch!" The two sides rapidly approached each other. When the distance between them was ten feet, Junior head shouted and jumped up. He then slashed his sword at the head!
Zhao Yun didn't even blink his eyes as he blocked horizontally with the silver gun in his hand. He then quickly returned the thrust with his spear!
Clang! The long saber spun several dozen feet away.
Plop! Junior head clutched his throat and fell to the ground with bulging eyes. He didn't even make a sound before dying.
Zhao Yun's wrist shook. Just as he was about to attack again, he suddenly heard a few sharp sounds.
Jiyaaa! Creak!
Zhao Yun looked up and his pupils immediately constricted. He saw that more than ten steps away, there were three yellow-robed soldiers holding a good bowstring, holding a crossbow and pointing it at him!
Zhang Jian was a standard strong crossbow of the Han Army. His thirty steps were so powerful that even when the arrow left the bow, it was still faster than a bow and arrow.
Zhao Yun wasn't afraid at this moment. He was just puzzled, where did these yellow scarfed thieves get their crossbows from?
At this moment, the three crossbow men fired.
Three crossbow arrows formed a shape as they flew towards Zhao Yun.
The road in the village was narrow and surrounded by the yellow-robed soldiers. Zhao Yun was on a horse, so it wasn't easy for him to dodge the crossbow arrows. However, he did not dodge. Instead, he raised his spear and used a corpse to block in front of him.
"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!"
The three bolts all hit the dead body and pierced Zhao Yun's leather armor one after another. Fortunately, the crossbow arrows were already at the end of the strong crossbow. Other than one of them being able to pierce through the skin, it did not cause much damage.
At the same time, the five yellow scarves formed a small circle formation. Four spears and one spear pierced towards Zhao Yun at the same time!
At this moment, Zhao Yun had nowhere to run. He suddenly shouted, waved his spear and threw out a corpse!
The three archers quickly nocked their bows and aimed their crossbows at Shi Mu.
Just then, a loud shout came from behind Zhao Yun: "Don't be a thief! "Look at the arrows!"
"Whiz!" "Whiz!" "Whiz!"
Three black lines flashed past Zhao Yun's body as the arrow arrived.
In the next moment, the three men fell to the ground clutching their throats.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed and shouted, "Who wants to help? Zhao Yun can't thank you enough! "
"Eh? Zhao Yun! Ha ha, it is truly like stepping on broken iron shoes without any place to look. Since Gongsun Xu is here, don't worry Zi Long, I will come as well! " Amidst the laughter, Gongsun Xu rushed over with his long spear in hand. Behind him were the brothers Gongsun Jia and the other five guards.
Zhao Yun was shocked, it really was the young duke! Isn't he in Ji County? Why did he suddenly appear here?
Gongsun Xu wasn't as fast as Zhao Yun, but every time he attacked, he would also be killed in one blow. Gongsun Xu wasn't as fast as Zhao Yun, but every time he attacked, he would be killed in one strike.
Gongsun Jia and the rest followed closely behind, while guarding against the cold guns that were thrusting towards Gongsun Xu while killing the enemy. They did not shout or shout, but only silently attacked and quickly reaped the enemy's lives.
Zhao Yun came back to his senses and also rushed up to shoot and kill.
In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, another ten people were slaughtered on the spot. The remaining hundred or so yellow scarves finally collapsed. They released a loud shout, and scattered in all directions as they fled out of the village.
Gongsun Xu waved his hand and shouted, "Catch up to him! Surrender and save him from death! Kill those who resist stubbornly!"
Zhao Yun jumped down from his horse and knelt on one knee. He cupped his fist and said, "Zhao Yun greets the young duke. Thank you for your help!"
"There's no need for Zi Long to be so polite, please get up!" Gongsun Xu jumped off the horse and helped Zhao Yun up. He asked with a smile, "Are you hurt?"
"I'm not injured. Thank you for worrying about me, young duke." Zhao Yun thanked him and took two steps back
Gongsun Xu sized up this legendary general. Indeed, as the book said, Zhao Yun was eight feet tall with a jade-like face and sharp sword-like eyebrows. Although he was wearing the cheapest leather armor, it couldn't hide his heroic spirit at all.
"May I ask why the young duke is here?" Zhao Yun felt rather uncomfortable as he was being looked at, so he quickly opened his mouth to break the awkward silence.
"This is a long story." Gongsun Xu smiled. From the moment he left Ji County, he talked about everything that had happened in Chang Shan Town.
After Zhao Yun heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to the young duke's high regard, I dare not accept it."
Gongsun Xu reached out his hand to support Commander Zilong and smiled, "I said there's no need to be so polite. Why is Commander Zilong being so polite?"
"Academy Officer?" Zhao Yun was surprised, "The young duke has made a mistake. Yun is just a military lord, not Academy Officer!"
Gongsun Xu's smile did not waver as he said, "I said yes! Huainan, you don't need to go. When we return to Ji County, you will be able to lead your own troops, Academy Officer! "
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, a look of gratitude flashed past his eyes, he sighed, then bowed and said: "I am deeply grateful to the Young Marquis for thinking so highly of me. It's just that Yun Che has to go home for a while and is unable to return to Ji County for the time being. "
Gongsun Xu frowned. He immediately understood the evasion in Zhao Yun's words. Could it be that Big Ear Buster had already hooked up with Zhao Yun? Thinking about this, his heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile as he asked, "Does Zi Long have any doubts? "If you have something to say, just say it. As long as I, Gongsun Xu, can do it, I will not hesitate to say it!"
Zhao Yun's eyes were filled with gratitude as he sighed and said, "Yun doesn't have any doubts. It's just that a few days ago, I received a letter from my elder brother saying that his condition is getting worse, so Yun will have to wait at home for a while."
Gongsun Xu smiled and pointed to the village entrance behind him, "Zi Long, look over there."
Zhao Yun looked up and saw an oxcart slowly approaching. His brother Zhao Feng was wearing a thick leather robe and was waving at him with a smile.
"Your brother's illness has worsened, so I acted on my own and asked him to go to Youzhou to find a famous doctor for treatment. Your brother is rich in school and loves teaching and educating people. I plan to let him study in Ji County County as a teacher. " Gongsun Xu explained. Seeing that Zhao Yun was in a daze, he smiled and asked, "Zi Long, don't tell me you're blaming me for acting on my own?"
Zhao Yun took a deep breath, suddenly knelt on the ground, crossed his hands in front of his forehead, and said solemnly: "Young Marquis, your kindness is heavy, your tears of gratitude are zero! I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life, even though I have no regrets! "
"Zi Long, Zi Long, ha-ha, this is great!" Gongsun Xu was overjoyed. He lifted Zhao Yun up with both hands and patted him on the shoulder. "What do I need you for? I want you to work together with me to create a great cause and share a lifetime of wealth! "
Zhao Yun lowered his head, afraid that Gongsun Xu would see the wetness in his eyes.
Zhao Feng, who was on the oxcart, smiled at the sky. He didn't know when, but the Taibai Star had already risen very high. With the few small stars surrounding it, the Taibai Star was so dazzling!
