"Yin Kuang!"
A shout from behind stopped Yin Kuang. Everyone turned around in response and saw Zhao Yun in silver armor and white robes walking out of the tent and waving towards them. Yin Kuang then said to the others: "You go first, I'll be here soon." After saying that, he came to Zhao Yun and bowed, "General!" Zhao Yun looked Yin Kuang up and down with sharp eyes and patted him. On Yin Kuang's shoulder, he said: "The military advisor's trip to Jiangdong this time is of great importance. We must do our best to ensure the safety of the military advisor."
Yin Kuang responded: "Yes, general. Even if we risk our lives, we will not let the military advisor make any mistakes." "Yes," Zhao Yun nodded and said, "There is also the matter of the young master. If not You risked your life to protect the young master, I am afraid that the young master has already... If so, I will not have the face to see the lord again. I, Zhao Yun, owe you a favor."
"General..."
Zhao Yun waved his hand, interrupted Yin Kuang's words, and continued: "As a man, we should keep our grudges clear. Since I, Zhao Yun, owe you a favor, I will pay it back one day. And..." Zhao Yun took off the sword from his waist and patted Yin Kuang's hand. On Kuang's chest, "This green sword was originally obtained by you in battle, and now it returns to its original owner. The sword is a precious sword, I just hope you don't let it get covered in dust." After saying that, he turned around and entered the big tent. .
Yin Kuang stared blankly at the green sword in his hand. The Qingzhi Sword originally had no scabbard when it was taken, but now it has a scabbard. The edge of the sword was completely hidden in the black scabbard. Yin Kuang subconsciously pulled out a piece, and suddenly a cold light dazzled him.
"Is this... given to me?" Yin Kuang was a little at a loss. Then he checked the properties of the Qingzhi Sword and got a very simple piece of information.
Name: Qingzhi Sword.
Belongs to: Cao Cao\Zhao Yun
That's a simple introduction.
However, although the introduction about Qingzhi Sword was outrageous in its simplicity, what surprised Yin Kuang was that this time the principal did not give a hint of "special items, no introduction, no permission to use". No matter how brief the introduction is, there is an introduction after all. Yin Kuang's breathing quickened slightly, "Capture the Qingzhi Sword, then give it to Zhao Yun, and then let Zhao Yun give it to me. Is this the task process of obtaining the Qingzhi Sword? No! The current Qingzhi Sword does not completely belong to me. Because the owner shown on the introduction is Cao Cao, and there is Zhao Yun with a question mark... If this is the case, I will return the Qingzhi Sword to Cao Cao, and then let Cao Cao reward me with the Qingzhi Sword. Doesn’t the sword really belong to me?”
With such doubts, Yin Kuang thought, and sure enough, the Qingzhi Sword was not placed in the inventory. This also shows that the Qingzhi Sword still does not belong to Yin Kuang. Sighing, Yin Kuang comforted himself and said: "I can't use a sword anyway. At most, it can be used as a knife to chop. It would be good if it can be used to chop people. It's a good thing that my right Tang Dao was notched. Before Cao Cao asks for it from me, just use it." With this thought, Yin Kuang had no regrets in his heart and ran towards Zhuge Liang's cavalry in the distance.
…
When Zhao Yun returned to the Chinese army's tent, he clasped his fists and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Yun has handed over the Qingzhi Sword to him." After Liu Bei heard this, a smile appeared on his ordinary face like a farmer, and his eyes twinkled. After a glimmer of light, he said: "Well. Cao Cao cherishes Yitian Qingzhi very much. If Yin Kuang is really Cao Cao's masterpiece, Cao Cao will definitely send someone to ask for it. The next time we meet, if Qingzhi sword is not in his hand, Then he must be Cao Cao's meticulous work. At that time..." Liu Bei picked up the wine cup, raised his head to the sky and drank, "I will let Cao Cao tie himself up!"
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "Big brother (lord) is wise."
Zhao Yun hesitated for a while and said: "My lord, what if Yin Kuang is not Cao Cao's craftsman?" Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun and said, "If not, then everything is easy. This is really the time to employ people. Yin Kuang and others are all talents who can be used. Moreover, Yin Kuang, Tang Rouyu and others have been kind to my wife and my son, and I will not let him down. But..." Liu Bei sighed and said: "Zhuge Sir, you have a clever plan. Since he said that Yin Kuang and others are suspected, it is not groundless."
Zhang Fei on the side said: "Brother, do you trust that Zhuge Liang so much? I also heard that one of Zhuge Liang's brothers is a high official in Soochow, but don't hide and never come back as soon as he leaves."
Liu Bei's face fell, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. Is Mr. Zhuge as villain as you say?"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his beard like pine needles trembled, and he snorted in dissatisfaction, saying: "Well, brother, if those little melon boys are really Cao Cao's people, then Zhuge..." Liu Bei glared at him, and Zhang Fei quickly changed his words and said: "That military advisor, isn't it a bad thing?" After hearing this, Liu Bei's expression turned gloomy, "Haha, third brother is overly worried. I have already made arrangements... Besides, Although Mr. Zhuge is not proficient in martial arts and is not as invincible as you and Zilong, he is proficient in the Xuanmen Dunjia method and can kill the enemy invisible. However, if they really want to harm the military advisor, they will leave us alone. A lot of trouble.”
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun looked at each other, surprised and surprised.
There was almost nothing going on, so Zhang Fei said: "Brother, I'm going to train those little bastards. If these little bastards don't beat for one day, they will cause trouble." Liu Bei quickly told him to beat the soldiers less, and Zhang Fei dealt with it casually. , then came out of the tent. Zhao Yun also resigned, but before leaving, he asked: "My lord, I don't know, young master..."
Speaking of Adou, Liu Bei sighed secretly, drank a glass of wine silently, and said: "Still sleeping. The doctor has checked again and again. He is not poisoned or under control, but is really asleep. Maybe he was frightened yesterday. We’re here. I’ve ordered people to prepare some folk methods for summoning spirits, they might be useful.”
After Zhao Yun heard this, he fell to the ground and cried: "It's all my fault that Yun failed to protect the young master, please punish me."
"Zilong, why are you doing this? Please get up quickly." Liu Bei hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up and said: "If you hadn't seemingly entered Cao's army, I'm afraid I, a kid, would have already... What crime do you have? It should be I, Liu Bei, am the one thanking you." As he said that, Liu Bei actually wanted to bow his hands. This time, Zhao Yun was at a loss. He held Liu Bei tightly with his strong arms and said: "My lord, you must not do this, you must not do it."
I don't know if Liu Bei really wanted to condescend and bow down. Anyway, Zhao Yun supported him and did not continue. Instead, he patted Zhao Yun's hand and said: "Zilong, this is really a very serious matter. As long as you escape this period, Everything will get better."
"Yeah! Even at the risk of his life, Yun Yi was able to protect his lord."
…
Not to mention the sour drama between the monarch and his ministers, Yin Kuang and others followed Zhuge Liang and rode all the way to an unknown river. They changed boats and went down the river.
After a day of boating, after leaving the nameless river, we came to a vast river with surging water. Yin Kuang and others all know that it is the Yangtze River - one of the two dragons of China!
You only need to follow this road to reach Chaisang, the capital of Soochow at that time, which was later known as Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province!
They were in a hurry and there was not much communication among them all the way. When they got on the boat, they were ordered by Zhuge Liang to patrol around the side of the boat, which only made Yin Kuang and others very tired. Zhuge Liang himself didn't seem to care about his own safety at all. When he had nothing to do, he would sit in the bow of the boat, light incense, put out a guqin, and play it comfortably; or he would simply sit in the cabin and watch quietly. Books, playing chess quietly, and displaying some strange things quietly; otherwise, walking around, pointing out the mountains and rivers, as if appreciating the magnificent landscapes.
This made Yin Kuang and others who were always on guard very impatient. You tell us to be alert, but you become lazy. What's the point
However, Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu could more or less guess Zhuge Liang's intentions. He was obviously attracting those who secretly wanted to harm him and induce him to take action. And this so-called "hidden arrow" may also include Yin Kuang and others.
Ever since Liu Bei transferred them all away from Liu Camp and escorted Zhuge Liang to Jiangdong, Yin Kuang had suspected that Liu Bei was doubting their identities. Perhaps, rather than escorting Zhuge Liang, it is better to say that Zhuge Liang is used as a child to lure them to take the initiative to reveal their identity.
However, Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu are not that stupid. If Zhuge Liang was really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be Zhuge Liang. Besides, Yin Kuang didn't think Liu Bei was really so relieved to shoot such people to "protect" Zhuge Liang. It is very likely that Liu Bei still has a secret hand.
As for the others, because of Yin Kuang's deliberate concealment, they did not know their true identities at all. They all regarded escorting Zhuge Liang as "the principal's task" and did not reveal any flaws at all.
As for the news of Zhuge Liang's trip to Soochow, Yin Kuang had already told "Venerable Black Arrow" through special methods as soon as possible, and I believe Cao Cao had already known about it. But for some reason, he did not send an assassin to assassinate Zhuge Liang, nor did he order Yin Kuang and others to assassinate Zhuge Liang. Instead, he replied "wait and see what happens", leaving Yin Kuang unable to figure out Cao Cao's intentions.
In this way, after a boring boat ride, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
