When I left Wuzhong, the county lieutenant did not dare to come out to see me. He had gone to suppress the bandits in the mountains, so I did not bother him anymore.
The young man was almost recovered, but his face was still a little pale. When I saw them, he was always sitting in the carriage with his sister, basking in the sun and laughing. Long Xing would go to greet them from time to time. Today, he did not stay in the carriage with his wife, but came out to ride horses and chat, pointing here and there from time to time, as if he was taking in the beautiful scenery around. It was late autumn, and it was rare that the weather was clear today, with no wind, and it was warm and comfortable to bask in the sun.
Maybe this is the last bit of warmth this year.
"Does your brother Ergou know your real identity?" I said to him with a smile, then turned around and pointed at the big Tujing flag behind us.
He nodded, "I told him when I first entered Jizhou. He was a little surprised at first, and then a little disappointed, but he was still very grateful to us. Now he still calls me big brother."
"Have you asked him what his plans are?"
"He listened to me and told him that Jingzhou is a good place. He wanted to go there to continue his restaurant business. He also asked me if he could take his brother and sister with him. Of course I could. Do you think it's okay, brother?"
"You've already agreed, and you're still asking me? But he might have lost money by doing business. Look at that strong man, he was so badly injured in just three days. If he joins the army, in a few years, Jingzhou will have another warrior." I replied with a smile, "Also, your lies this time were so convincing that I find your story believable. And your emotions are so real that everyone would believe that you two are brothers."
"Do you really think I was lying?" This iron-willed Po Liu Han Lie Ya, who became the clan leader at the age of seventeen, had such a sad expression for the first time. Even though he had just entered the Han Dynasty from the northern border, he acted very strong. "How many times, how many times have my fathers and brothers fallen one by one? When you are in the midst of a thousand people fighting, you will not feel anything, but when you are after the battle, you only see one person, he just slowly dies in front of you, and never wakes up again from being alive, one by one, how many times can you and I endure it, how many times can I endure it, but I have endured it hundreds of times! I have never cried before. But when I saw him, I knew I could cry this time, and I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I thought about venting it out. I wanted to make up for all the debts I owed to my brothers from him. It may be a little silly, but for me, that's all. Moreover, I now treat him as my brother."
He slowly recovered after the last few sentences. I patted his shoulder, but I didn't know what to say. But Ta Lie's arrival made us both stop talking.
"Talie thanks you and my elder brother for saving my life." In addition to his broad shoulders, strong arms and chest, one can still feel his strong bloodline. Judging from his etiquette, attire and speech, he is not a Wuhuan at all, but a handsome Han boy. If you look closely, his hair is slightly curly, which is a characteristic of Donghu people.
At this time, my sister-in-law came to Long Xing and seemed to have something to say, so I asked her to talk aside while I went to chat with the Wuhuan young man.
"It's okay. It's just a piece of cake. How are your injuries?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I am fine now."
"I'm your eldest brother's eldest brother, you can just call me Brother Xie."
"Yes, thank you, brother."
"Well, you are really a Wuhuan hero, very straightforward. What are your plans for the future? Why not follow your elder brother and give up business and join the army? " I think it would be better to use Long Xing.
"Well, thank you for your kindness, big brother. I shouldn't refuse if you want to discuss this with me. But I promised my father that I would take good care of my sister. I will find a good family for her and marry her off. We can talk about it then, okay?" Indeed, this military journey is not very safe, especially in this time of crisis. I nodded in agreement. I looked at the girl carefully again. The girl was looking here, as if staring at her brother. She was about sixteen years old, with a dignified appearance and decent manners. She was also of marriageable age. Why not... I cast my eyes on Husa Lie Nanguo. The two were of the same age, but Nan had not grown up yet. It seemed too early for him to get married now, and he was still a fool who knew nothing. Yan Rou should be a good choice. With a sly smile on my face, I waved my hand to call Yan Rou over.
But Long Xing came here first. I was just thinking that I wasn't looking for you. You're married now, so you have nothing to do. He put his mouth close to my ear and said a few words.
I was a little surprised, but after looking carefully, I realized that it was indeed the case. After thinking about it again, it suddenly became clear to me.
But Yan Rou also came over, and I waved my hand to tell him to stop. Of course, I still had to find something for him to do, but it was not that thing anymore.
"Ta Lie, your name is a bit indecent. Have you ever thought about changing it?" The whole plan immediately came into my mind.
"What's wrong?" Long Xing explained to him the meaning of his name in Wuhuan language.
"That's all right. I'm no longer a Wuhuan. I'm a Han Chinese now. My last name is Zhang. If big brother lets me change it, then I'll call myself Zhang Ta or Zhang Lie."
“No, no, no…” Long Xing and I waved our hands at the same time, and then we looked at each other. I motioned Long Xing to continue, and looking at his smile, I knew he understood what I meant.
"Your last name is Zhang, so you are Sister Zhang's brother, but Big Brother doesn't want you to be her brother."
"Why?" He obviously didn't understand.
"I want you to be her husband." I took over the conversation. I felt that it would be very happy to finish such a final job.
"How can this be possible?" The young man waved his hands quickly, with an incredible look in his eyes.
"Why not? Are you his real brother?" The boy was speechless, Long Xing continued to enlighten him, "I'm not kidding you, look at the way your sister-in-law looks at you? Do you know how much she wants you?" The boy looked over and suddenly lowered his head, because the other side also lowered her head shyly. It was a happy, sweet, graceful and burning look.
"So, you must change your surname." I also struck while the iron was hot, "There is a Wuhuan tribe in the north named Tujing. They are tough, loyal, and brave in battle. But now there are few people. I hope you can use this as your surname, so it won't be an insult to you." In fact, I don't know what other surnames the Wuhuan people have. However, I still asked for the opinion of a person involved: "Yan Rou, you don't mind, right?" Yan Rou smiled and shook his head, "My grudge with the Tujing family has been resolved, and he is not a real Tujing family member."
I suddenly thought, not necessarily.
"Brother, how did you know?" The boy was a little embarrassed, but it was obvious that he had figured it out.
"Brother, you are an experienced person, can't you see all this?" But when I saw the smiles on his sister-in-law's faces behind him, I knew why they came to see him just now.
"But she never did." The boy lowered his head even more and his voice became lower.
"You let a girl go for something like this? She won't feel comfortable doing it." At this moment, even Yan Rou joined the team to persuade them.
"But we have always been called brother and sister. This doesn't seem like a good idea now." He thought to himself that he had completely agreed.
"Take your time, don't be impatient. Being impatient is definitely not a good thing. If you are impatient, you might get some diseases such as yang damage and yin depression." I knew there was a pair of eyes full of "hatred" on my left, but I decided to ignore him.
My sister-in-law volunteered to bring them together, and then she led the blushing young man toward the carriage. As soon as Long Xing saw his wife leave, he wanted to get angry. But I knew he would do this.
"Long Xing, you've only been married for a few days and you're already acting like an experienced person." I smiled, thinking it's better to strike first.
"Not like some old bachelors." He refused to admit defeat.
"Hey, Brother Long Xing, the attack is quite wide." To my surprise, this was said by Yan Rou. It was rare for him to speak to us in the tone of a true friend. I thought, maybe his grudges were really settled.
"Brother Yan Rou," I was also very happy. I felt that Yan Rou was beginning to get rid of the cloud of gloom. "We can hold Ta Lie's wedding soon. The governor here has some personal connections with me. I think I can find a way to hold a good wedding for Ta Lie when we get to him. If you have a crush on someone, you might as well tell me and I will arrange it for you right away."
"No, no, I'll understand when I have it." Yan Rou was indeed generous and unrestrained. This person would be a good hand when being a guest in Jingzhou in the future.
When we set off in the afternoon, we kept talking about the somewhat shy couple in the car, and suddenly it occurred to us that we should give him a name.
"How about Tu Jinglie?" Long Xing suggested.
"Press, this Lie means dog, isn't this bad?"
"No," Yan Rou took over and explained, "General Long Xing is familiar with the Wuhuan language. If there is no word indicating seniority or age before 'lie', it means sensitive, quick action, and loyal. Moreover, the word 'dog' is used as a very good word in the Wuhuan language, because the Wuhuan people regard dogs as very important and often use them to name people, which is different from us Han people." Thinking of the day when I was chased by the Wuhuan people's dog, I nodded to show my understanding.
Finally, it was unanimously approved that Tu Jinglie be his nickname, Er Gou be his first name, and Long Xing be his elder brother. The second one was added at Long Xing's request, and the last one was added at my request. Yan Rou was laughing. Long Xing knew that things were not going well, but seeing that Er Gou was relatively satisfied, he let it go.
But looking at Ergou's current condition, he doesn't care what you call him.
Nan was obviously very interested in our topic and was listening carefully. We also joked with him and told him to find a wife soon. But Nan also had a problem. He was only one or two years older than us. For some reason, he looked much older. It seemed too early for him to get married.
The couple who were about to get married didn't talk to each other for almost the whole afternoon. I couldn't understand why they were so speechless before getting married. Finally, I came to the conclusion that men and women are most embarrassed before getting married.
Jizhou Governor Huangfu Song was well-informed. We stayed in Hejian County, the northernmost county of Jizhou, for less than a day. In the evening, someone came out of the city thirty miles away to greet us in Lecheng.
The leading general was very polite to me, and one of his words reminded me of this person.
"My Lord, how are you? I wonder if you still remember me, General Liu Dai?"
"General Liu, how are you doing since we last met?"
"I'm sorry to hear that General Huangfu asked me to welcome you." He spoke very little and was very polite. He was the kind of general who was slow to speak but quick to act, which was more to my taste, even though I was a talkative person. However, Huangfu Song should have known that Brother Bao Xin and I were close friends, so he should have been the one to come. I don't know if his beard has grown.
General Liu Dai told me to ask for anything I wanted, and that the road to Zhongshan County to the east was full of mountains, so we needed to make some preparations, and the carriages and horses needed to be properly repaired, and the people and horses also needed to rest. I thanked him for his kindness. It just so happened that I proposed to hold a wedding for a couple here, and he agreed immediately, but asked us to wait for a few days and let me walk around during these days, which I said was fine.
Lecheng is a city, and it is difficult to buy things on the market. It is also difficult to purchase what we need. There are several counties in the west, and the situation is the same. Later, the brothers found that people in these two places were preparing to offer sacrifices. The person being offered sacrifices was Zhang Heng, the master Zhang Pingzi. When mentioning this person, the elderly people in the local area were deeply moved and lamented that it was rare to have such a good official.
Brothers, you don't know what kind of person Zhang Heng is. I have to tell you his story. He should be the person most respected by our teacher, because he is the most outstanding genius in the eyes of the teacher. And we all think that this person must be a god, because he can't be seen from human perspective.
Before I told them about it, I sighed that it would be hard to find such an outstanding person in the world.
Zhang Heng, courtesy name Pingzi, was from Nanyang, Jingzhou. He went to Luoyang to study when he was young. He was proficient in the Five Classics and the Six Arts. When he was young, his talent was well known. He was good at ingenuity, good at calendar calculation, strange at yin and yang, and good at writing poems. Although his talent was higher than that of his contemporaries, he was not arrogant. When he entered the government, he was upright and honest. When he left the government, he was not hungry and his ambitions were not affected by the poor alleys. Because he served as the prime minister of Hejian, he did not pick up lost items on the road and did not lock the doors at night for four years. His policies and laws are all models for later generations.
…
After listening to the story, they all thought Zhang Heng was amazing, but they were not surprised. This was true. Many of the things I told them were things they did not understand, such as the celestial instrument, the seismic instrument, "Ling Xian", and "Liang Du Fu", which seemed to have nothing to do with them. However, things soon got better, and they soon began to marvel at Zhang Heng's greatness. Because there were too many people in this place who could tell them stories about Zhang Heng.
One day, in order to buy some things, Long Xing took his wife to various wealthy merchants to buy them with a lot of money. Only then did he discover that Zhang Heng was also a painter, and one of the six famous painters at that time. This made Sister Liu quite amazed and couldn't let go of his paintings. Long Xing immediately wanted to buy the painting, but the rich merchant refused to sell it, which made Long Xing very disappointed. In the end, his wife had to comfort him. After returning, his wife started to paint by herself, and used Long Xing as a model at the beginning. After the painting was finished, Long Xing said: It seems that the painting is not as beautiful as the girl in the picture. In the end, she had to coax Sister Liu for a whole night. This matter was revealed to me by Long Xing's brother-in-law.
Another day, Nan and Yan Rou met an octogenarian who was telling others about Zhang Heng’s martial arts and character in a restaurant. When he was young, he worked as a servant in Zhang Heng’s Hejian residence, so he knew everything about him. He told them:
The King of Hejian was arrogant and extravagant, and ignored the government affairs. Lord Pingzi got up at three o'clock every morning to review documents and handle government affairs. He would report to the king at the hour of Mao, leaving no details behind. The king also understood things a little, and handed over all the affairs of the vassal states of Hejian to Lord Pingzi for handling. Therefore, Lord Pingzi hated all the powerful and powerful people. One morning, an assassin climbed over the wall and entered with a sword to assassinate Lord Pingzi. We quickly surrounded him and wanted to catch him, but the thief was brave and we couldn't get close. Lord Pingzi waved his hand and said: Wait a moment, Zhongshui and Gaoyang are flooded, and we urgently need to approve the opening of warehouses to provide relief to the people. After the approval, I will go alone with you, without relying on the crowd to deal with the few, how about it? Give me a moment of peace first. He dispersed the crowd and waited aside, even the assassin waited quietly for Lord Pingzi to review the documents. We were worried about you, but we didn't dare to disobey your orders. After three quarters of an hour, Lord Pingzi stood with a sword and said: Let's start. The assassin knelt on the ground and said: Your Excellency is a noble man, and he cares about the people. I cannot bear to kill him. But I have to accept money from others, so I want to die. The emperor said: Good, you can go. He replied: If you don't die, I will have no face to live in this world. I hope that in a few days, there will be people who will assassinate me again. After saying this, he turned around and hit his head against the stone and died.
When Nan told me, he also mentioned the admiration in the restaurant. But I asked Yan Rou to continue:
Another day, Zhang Heng was on a tour and met a robber on the way. He turned around and said to the crowd, "All seven of them are masters. You can't fight them." He rushed forward alone with a sword, first blocked two people with one sword, and blocked two people with the second sword. He turned around and stabbed a thief in the face. The thief protected himself, and immediately shook his wrist downwards and cut one person in the stomach. Before the man fell to the ground, he immediately swung his sword upwards to block the blade that was chasing him and taking his life, and stepped back four steps... A total of 23 swords were fired, and all seven people were killed.
At this point, Nan couldn't contain his excitement and took the lead in cheering in the restaurant.
No one dared to assassinate him again after that.
Later, Nan and his friends called a few people to practice Zhang Heng's sword moves in the battle with wooden swords in the courtyard. In the end, they really looked good, but many of their moves were not very smooth. I thought of Guan Yu and my moves. After watching their various exercises, I also felt that I had to practice mine. Indeed, Zhang Pingzi left us too far behind. His fighting was not only brilliant but also very smart. He fought and retreated, always letting only one or two opponents get close to him, and he fought quickly and decisively, and in an instant, he quickly and neatly eliminated his opponents.
I suddenly felt that I was ignorant, powerless, and undisciplined. I felt like I was about to become a useless person. I was really discouraged. However, I soon got rid of my impetuousness in my practice. Maybe it was because I was young and didn't remember anything, and I didn't have any worries.
On the eve of Ergou's wedding, Longxing proposed the idea of letting Ergou join the army after marriage, and several people cheered together. Tu Jinglie had no objection, but the bride disagreed. She brought up her father's last words before his death. Tu Jinglie thought about it and said that he couldn't join the army, so it would be better to continue his business. Nan thought that Zhang Jie was a little ungrateful, so I waved my hand to stop her. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and the girl was also quite stubborn. She said that she would not let her marry Tu Jinglie, and they could only be brother and sister, and her father's order could not be disobeyed.
I thought to myself: This woman is really a heroine, never mind. Then I waved my hand and said, "Father's orders cannot be disobeyed. Sister Zhang is right. There is no need to force this matter. The marriage will proceed as usual."
The two of them thanked him, and Long Xing felt a little sorry.
In the seclusion, he asked me: "In my opinion, he is a man of great wisdom, conduct, filial piety, justice, loyalty and courage, and he is a talent for a general or a minister. Why did you discard him?"
"Just speak the truth and don't mix words together without understanding. That's inappropriate. But you are indeed becoming more and more flowery. Some things can't be forced, otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing. Some things are better to do nothing."
In fact, I was thinking of my sister. If it weren't for me, my sister would never be involved in the war. It was because of my worry that my sister, who looked so weak, came to the battlefield. Although the two things are different in nature, the meaning is indeed the same, but I shouldn't be too self-centered. However, the self I am referring to is already Jingzhou.
However, the wedding the next day went very well, and everyone was chatting and laughing as usual, as if the unpleasant things that happened yesterday had never happened.
On September 14, the second year of Zhongping, at 1:00 a.m., we finally set off. Today was another good day: no wind, clear, with only a few floating clouds hovering in the sky, just right for us to set off. We wasted a lot of time in Hejian this time, so we had to hurry south. Liu Dai came to see me off, but he didn't want to keep me, so it was better to get back to Jingzhou as soon as possible.
However, this time when I passed by the city, I found that there were many military camps outside the east city. The neatly rising smoke in the morning informed me of their presence in the valleys in the mountains.
I suddenly felt something was wrong. There might be bandits ahead! Why didn't Liu Dai tell me? The people of Lecheng seemed to be completely unaware of it. If there really was one, I could just take a detour. Could it be that Huangfu Song wanted to rob me? I broke out in a cold sweat. What good would it do him to rob me? Would he rebel against Jingzhou? After all, I am now the second most important person in Jingzhou. This is a bit blatant, but why did Liu Dai keep me in Lecheng for so long, entertain us with such fanfare, and help me with various things
It seems that there are still bandits, but if that is the case, why don’t they protect us
Do you want us to die? If I fail to protect you well and let the bandits hurt Ping An Feng Yun Hou, that will be disadvantageous to them as well.
Unless, unless the Yellow Turban Army robbed and killed me.
But why were the people completely unaware? I believe they did not order all the people to play dumb. It was because it was too difficult for these tens of thousands of households to keep the news secret.
Unless, that was the Yellow Turban Army in disguise. In the eyes of Huangfu Song and others, they wanted to kill me, a close minister of their teacher, but they couldn't let the world know, so they eliminated me in the name of marching. That should be the case.
No, there is another question. Isn't the army in the valley a bit superfluous
When I arrived at Zhongshui and saw that the fields were still being harvested, the answer suddenly came to my mind.
The remnants of the Yellow Turbans were waiting for the autumn harvest to raise an army and start another rebellion. The harvest in the north was early due to the cold weather, so Zhang Yan raised his army first, and the harvest here was about to be completed, so that was when the Yellow Turbans would move.
And the damned thing is that there must be Huangfu Song’s spies among the Yellow Turbans. He didn’t go to destroy these Yellow Turban bandits, but kept them until he got rid of me, and then wiped them out.
And the worst thing is, because I got my official position by suppressing the Yellow Turbans, the Yellow Turbans will never let me go. If I leave the Yellow Turbans area safely, he can also accuse me of colluding with the Yellow Turbans, and I will definitely have a hard time defending myself.
According to our itinerary, this incident happened in Zhongshan County.
I suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. I felt that coming to the north was a big mistake, but when I looked back at my brothers, I gave up the idea. But one thing seemed very clear, that is, I had to find a way.
Thinking about it later, I felt that there were still some problems in my thinking. Huangfu Song should have known about the Yellow Turban bandits earlier, otherwise it would be too coincidental. I have never really believed in coincidences. So why didn't they put them out earlier
Huangfu Song and the other four were governors of the four states of Jiangbei, Hejin, and He Jin might not have trusted them enough to appoint governors for them. He Jin wanted to personally lead the states and not let them lead their own troops and rule their own territories.
Could it be that Huangfu Song, like us, also left a way out for himself? Then it would be a bit unreasonable for him to kill me. It would be much better to keep me than not to keep me. Having one more person in Jingzhou to hold He Jin back and let He Jin have some reliance on his subordinates should be what he wants.
I was confused too. I didn't know if what I thought was right or not, but I had no one to ask. Although Long Xing had some wisdom, he couldn't see through the chaos in the world. Others were either like Long Xing or like Long Xing's brother-in-law.
I finally decided to change my route. Instead of going through Zhongshan, I went directly south along Zhongshui and took the Handan line. Although I wasn't sure if there would be any more problems waiting for me, this was the only way I could do it now.
There is a river in Zhongshui that goes directly south and leads to Gaoyang in the south. We went south along this river. Looking at this river all the way reminded me of Zhang Heng. Now I have decided to call him Zhang Pingzi Daddy, because he is really amazing. It seems that I can't refuse to accept it. I don't know if there will be so many people coming to pay tribute to me after I die. If so, then this life will be worth living.
But along this route, we had no good roads to walk on. We had to cross mountains and forests from time to time, and we had to open the road ourselves, and sometimes we had to push the cart. Fortunately, the scenery along the way was beautiful, so it was worth the trip. However, this greatly slowed down the journey. But I would rather do this than go back with more than a hundred people.
At noon that day, a tributary of the river blocked our way. It was quite wide and the water was flowing fast, so it was too troublesome to build a floating bridge. So I asked everyone to take a rest and took Nan and Yan Rou to explore upstream and take in the scenery along the way.
However, it was a bit disappointing to see a lake upstream. Although the water was not so fast, it was a bit too wide. There was a waterfall two miles further up. It was indeed beautiful, but it was not a good thing for us.
Helpless, there is nothing much to praise about this scene for us.
Suddenly, a man jumped down from the waterfall! It was really strange to see people in such a place, and he seemed to have jumped down on purpose, wearing only a pair of shorts, and jumped down from 30 meters above, and even did some tumbling movements.
I felt a little curious, so I quickly dismounted and ran to the bottom of the waterfall. There was a pool of clear water under the waterfall. I knew that although I could see the rock surface with lush water plants at the bottom of the water, it must be very deep. I estimated that I would not be able to reach the bottom even if I hung on three more times. Although the weather was very good during this period, the water was still very cold. I admired this man's courage. I shuddered as soon as I touched the water.
When he was swimming towards the shore, he saw me and suddenly stopped treading water, looking at us, somewhat confused as to where we came from.
I quickly retreated, and they followed me, until we retreated to the edge of the woods, leaving him fifty steps of space to go ashore. I also tore off my cloak from my body and placed it on the ground, motioning him to put it on to avoid catching a cold.
I thought to myself, could this be a savage
When he got out of the water, he didn't look like a wild man. Although he was very strong, he was indeed a little fat, with a protruding belly, a fat face, and a smile. A sense of confidence and wisdom overflowed from him. He seemed very friendly.
Another girl slid down from the vines beside the waterfall. She was not wearing women's clothes, but dressed like an ordinary man. She was holding clothes, shoes and socks in her hands, rolling up the tube, barefoot, and slid down like a monkey in a moment. Her appearance and hair still gave her the feeling of a lady from a noble family. Although she was not very beautiful, she did have a unique temperament, and she was a perfect match with the young man.
"Kai, who are they?" she asked as she handed over the clothes. After the clothes were removed, two swords appeared in her hands.
"I don't know, but they have no ill intentions." The young man wiped off the water on his body and stayed behind the stone for a while. During this time, the girl kept pointing the sword at us. When he came out, he had already put on his clothes. He bent down to pick up my cloak, walked over politely, and brushed off the dead leaves stuck on it, and handed it to me.
"Thank you. How did you get here? There is no way out in this generation." He still smiled and signaled the girl to put away the sword.
"I want to go back to Jingzhou, so I'm going south along the river." No matter how many explanations I give, it's useless. Some explanations are hard to say, so keeping it simple is better. I spread my hands and explained calmly.
"Marquis Ping'an Fengyun?" The young man glanced at me twice. Without even thinking, I looked at my left hand. Sure enough, the wolf-fang bāng was stuck on it.
"It's me." I nodded.
"Oh, you big guy are Ping An Fengyun Hou." The girl also spoke. "Let me see if you are really that powerful." Then she swung her sword with the scabbard.
This girl has a lot of Hu Yujun flavor, and has a lot of similarities with the Valkyrie in Xiangyang. It seems that she must be a barbarian girl, so there is no reason to start fighting like this. However, she is fighting with the scabbard, so it is difficult for me to let the wolf tooth pass. However, I am fast, so naturally my right hand goes to grab her sword.
"So fast." The girl's speed was unusual, and I couldn't catch her with my mouse-catching hand. However, she fell to the ground, and when she retreated, her bare feet stepped on a stone. I think the stone was a little sharp and pricked her feet, so she couldn't step firmly. But she couldn't slow down her retreat, so... she sprained her ankle. I didn't expect that I would win like this.
The young man was greatly panicked, but he still apologized to me, "My wife was reckless, please don't blame me, Marquis Ping An Fengyun."
"It's okay, let's check on my sister-in-law's injuries first. This is my fault too."
If you sprain your ankle, you should first apply cold compresses, then hot compresses. But it seems that I don’t need to teach them, the girl has already put her foot in the pond.
Then, the atmosphere became a little awkward, but the slightly fat young man spoke to me first; "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Kai. This is my wife, Liu, and her name is Wen. We have been living here, wandering among the mountains and rivers all day long, and our lives are very carefree. I didn't know that the Marquis of Ping An Fengyun came here to a place where few people go. I apologize for my impoliteness."
I immediately gave my fist and my name, but I knew they already knew it, but I couldn't think of what to say, because what happened here was really strange. They didn't care that I was a marquis, just like a nice name, which didn't surprise them. Moreover, there were not many people along the way, but there was such a couple who looked very outstanding.
I turned around to look at the two people who had been silent. Yan Rou's face changed a little. She whispered to me, "That girl might be the daughter of the Prince of Hedong. She disappeared two years ago. I saw a secret letter asking the then Youzhou Yin, Liu Yu, who was suppressing the Korean people's riots in Lelang, to help track down her whereabouts. Her name is Liu Wen!"
