"You're not going to teach me how to shoot arrows?" Huang Xin was obviously dissatisfied with my laziness.
"Then shoot two arrows first and let me see." She did as she was told and drew the bow.
"Everyone, please help me!" I suddenly shouted mischievously, "Sister Huang is going to learn archery. If you hit the target, you will be unlucky. If you die, no one will compensate you!"
Everyone was very respectful to me. They heard my teasing and whistled and hurriedly looked for places to hide. In an instant, there was no one on the boat, at least no one could be seen. Including Nan, who was dragged away by Xu Wenwen.
I felt that I had to find a place to hide, but I was too lazy to move. Besides, I knew that I couldn't hide anywhere, because a beautiful and ferocious creature soon appeared before my eyes.
"I was wrong." I showed my determination to repent, but she was obviously unmoved. I still leaned against the wall of the ship, without any intention of hiding, with a smile on my face, and no guilt in my heart or expression. I think my face can be used as armor, no wonder even my armor doesn't protect my face. It seems that before going to the battlefield, I must practice thick skin.
"You..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her expression was angry, but she didn't look like she was shaking all over. She was charming and arrogant. I knew she wasn't really angry. But her expression made me feel that everything was beautiful.
"Very beautiful, very beautiful... Beautiful!" I said from the bottom of my heart, and finally straightened my back and made myself speak louder. This voice could even be heard by the people in the dozen boats, because I just thought, because it was an indescribable beauty. If I looked at her with a bad mood of teasing at the beginning, I was completely attracted by her feigned anger and was completely intoxicated by it. If I could be with her, always like this, until we grow old, it would probably be the greatest gift from God. Every day when I look at her beautiful and wise face, I can't help but let my lips attach to it, leaving traces of evil, and then wipe it with my own hands, gently caressing that face as white as rain and fat, how would it feel? I feel that my hands can't help but try this evil act.
The brave girl saw my hand slowly approaching and stepped back a little, but then she stopped.
However, I still put down my hand. I admit that maybe I am a coward, but I just can't stretch out my hand. But in order to avoid the embarrassment we will encounter, I gestured and asked Huang Xin to sit next to me. I think I have something to say to her.
The girl sat down expressionlessly. I had hoped that she would be disappointed, or at least angry, but she had no expression. However, I found that I was also pretending to be deep and carefree. Why should I let others show disappointment? I think I am still a little too self-righteous and always put myself in a too high position. I sighed and thought about telling her about it.
"I'm sorry to Yizhou, I'm sorry to you. I can't send you back to Yizhou for the time being, I..." I couldn't find the words.
"Haha... What's wrong with you? Why are you saying such irrelevant things?" The clear and pleasant laughter sounded like a harsh rebuke to my ears.
"It's not irrelevant. You remember I defeated Dong Zhuo, but I didn't go down."
"Yes, yes... But what does it have to do with Yizhou?" She asked me curiously. Of course she wouldn't have thought of it. If she could have easily thought of it, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have been fooled.
"I drove Dong Zhuo to Yizhou, and also blocked the two roads to the north, Motianling and Hanzhong."
"Then what did Dong Zhuo do in Yizhou?" She began to understand something and became a little anxious.
"All I know now is that Jiange was massacred."
"Jian Ge..." She didn't finish the word "Ge" and it stopped abruptly. She fainted just like that.
My heart tightened. Could she be from Jiange
"Someone come quickly, Sister Huang has fainted."
Long Xing was the first to rush out. He looked at me and then at her, "Brother, you can't be so anxious, what did you do? You made her faint."
"I didn't do anything!" I roared in anxiety and anger, and Long Xing quickly became serious.
Hua Tuo's appearance was the only reason that made me feel at peace. But my heart suddenly felt empty, and I didn't know what to do. Seeing their anxiety on the deck, I even turned my face away, then turned back, and then turned back again. Liu Wan asked someone to carry Huang Xin to her room. She wanted to ask me something, but was stopped by Long Xing.
I walked over and said softly, "Take good care of her."
He walked to the place where the fleet would arrive and waited for their arrival.
I was thinking about something, and hurried back to my room. The man was sleeping quietly. I walked over and felt something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong. I used my hand to feel his breath. Then I turned around and shouted, "Please ask Mr. Hua to come over."
The young man had actually died, and Hua Tuo had just been asked by me to go see Huang Xin.
The guard ran to call for help, and I knew something was wrong, because someone was holding my neck tightly from behind. I quickly tried to pry it open, but his strength was obviously not as good as mine, and I quickly pried his hand open, but I quickly let go, which surprised the person behind me, because this time, although he still had his hand around my neck, he was much stronger. Before he asked me something strange, I said, "Quickly loosen your arm, I can still speak, you definitely can't strangle me to death, but your wound will burst open, and you will die."
His hand loosened, and I turned and took two steps back: "I don't know how I offended you. You wanted to slash our boat. But you have to recover now. We can fight again when you are better, okay." I was still wondering if I was a little too childish.
His face was pale, bloodless, with beads of sweat hanging on it. He was panting and looking at me warily. In order to make him trust me, I turned my back to him, found the armor on the table, took off my clothes, and put it on my body. The wound on my back made me tremble a little, but I still put on the armor, and kept my back to him during this period. Because I was not afraid of him, I thought he would not do it, because I could not think of any deep hatred between me and these pirates here. Moreover, I trusted him so much, and now I could feel his slightest movement.
When Hua Tuo came, he reminded me as soon as he saw me that I should not wear this armor because it was too tight and the wound might get worse. I should wait until we get to land.
I went to the ship alone wearing this armor, and sat down by the crenel in the corner, letting the injured part of my back clear. What I wanted to do was to look at the Yao Kan again. I put it behind the protective state in front of me, and I put my usual things in my belt. I was a little worried, and the map in my belt was still there. I turned around to look at the ship that had not arrived yet, and then to see if there was anyone nearby. After doing all this, I calmed down and started looking at the map again.
But in fact, my mind was always wandering. I didn’t know how to get my mind back to this picture, but as soon as I looked at this picture, I soon turned into fantasies and self-blame.
I calmed down and thought of the days in the north. I suddenly stood up and said to myself firmly: "From now on, I will no longer regret it. I will make up for all the mistakes I have made instead of constantly blaming myself and complaining about myself."
I put away the Yaokan and decided not to read it for the time being, because I still couldn't understand what it meant. It was probably about the teacher encountering some danger. Anyway, we will be by the teacher's side and will not let the teacher encounter any unexpected events. I don't know if Uncle San arrived in Xiangyang safely.
"Is Xie Zirui, the Marquis of Ping'an Fengyun, here?" An unfamiliar voice, with an accent from somewhere unknown, and another unfamiliar person. But what is certain is that this person does not seem to be tall. The boat is already a hundred steps away, and the decorations on the boat look much more pleasing to the eye.
"It's me. Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Their arrival brought me back some vitality.
The first person to board the boat was the young man. He looked very energetic but was short.
"Wang Lian, the lieutenant general under the command of the Poyang Navy Commander, pays respect to you, Your Majesty." All of this was very formal, but the following sentence made me laugh. He suddenly tilted his head and said uncertainly: "Am I doing the right etiquette? I just came here, so I am not very sure."
"Just call me Brother Zhi from now on." I laughed and said. This ignorant man made me believe that this was one of us, because it was only one of us who would be so honest. I suddenly reminded myself that when I lie to others in the future, I must appear to be so honest on the surface.
Wang Lian was only a vanguard, and all his ships were fast boats. He was a very experienced commander of the fleet, which was my conclusion when I saw him calling our soldiers. Another hour passed before I saw the central army, but since we were sailing in two directions, it saved a lot of time. I should be able to see them in half an hour. During this time, I was paying attention to the pulling of the sails, and other Xianbei people, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other tribes asked to help. They must have been resentful of their helplessness on the water just now, and they must learn to completely control the sails by themselves.
But we were tormented by their eagerness to learn. Song Qian was a little exhausted due to his age, and kept gasping for air on the side of the ship. I knew he was seasick and wanted to vomit. Fatty Ziyuan used to be like this all the time. Whenever there was wind on the Xiangjiang River, Ziyuan would go to the side of the ship to vomit. In the end, I had no choice but to carry him back, because the ungrateful guys next to us always said coldly: "Because only you can carry him. We can help you take his crown." The key is that this fat guy always follows us. He really wants to play to the death, but it makes me so tired.
Wang Lian was from Yuzhang, and Zhengge promoted him in Yuzhang. When we arrived, he was directing everyone to build a dam to block the water. His family had a good reputation for generations, and when it came to Lian, his talent and reputation were even more famous in Yuzhang. The original Xiaolian was a playboy, and when the flood came, he followed his father who donated money to the north, so he was able to replace him and became a city guard. When the flood came, the prefect was scared away by the huge water, and this was the only official left in the huge Yuzhang. Zhengge promoted him as soon as he came and let him manage the entire Yuzhang. The prefect wanted to come back, but was driven away by Zhengge. However, according to my sister-in-law, she was even more powerful. She sent people to tie up the prefect and his people and threw them into the prison in Poyang, and told Wang Lian not to tell Zhengge, but Wang Lian trusted me very much and told me about it, but he still added that I should not tell Zhengge either. I thought to myself: Brother Zheng is so isolated, and everyone is hiding it from him. But I think what my sister-in-law did is very good. At least if I were in his place, I would not let that prefect have a good life.
It was half an hour later that I met Li Zhen.
During this time, Hua Tuo came up to take a breath. I looked at him and he bowed to me. I bowed. Wang Lian saw some mystery and asked me what happened. I shook my head and said, "Nothing. Someone was injured. The head shows that the injury is not serious."
"Where are you hurt?" He seemed to be offering to help, but this was not something he could do.
"I am heartbroken."
He was confused and kept muttering to himself, "Heart, if your heart is broken, won't you die?"
His ignorant mumbling made me think more. I was heartbroken. Maybe the person was really dead. Suddenly I felt that the sky was getting dark so quickly.
However, it was still nice to see someone I knew. It made me smile for a while, but when I saw that girl, I lost the desire to attack her. But the one who was most uncomfortable was Li Zhenfu. They chewed my words carefully to make sure they had no sting in them, and they felt incomprehensible. Later, when I thought of this, I wanted to curse them a few times, thinking they were really cheap, and I wanted to find something to curse them. But I can't remember what I said when we met.
Zishi looks more and more like a successful person. He is not afraid of gossips even when his wife is around. He is very generous. It is true that the general's wife is a funny person who doesn't distinguish between superiors and subordinates when she quarrels with the soldiers. Moreover, there are female soldiers on our ship, but it seems that they are all from our image, not from Deng. According to Wang Lian, this is related to the two female generals. Since there are various precedents above and the people below can't go on, it is still a good idea to join the army. The main reason is that there have been many disasters in recent years, and wars have come again. What is the life of a widowed woman like... I'd better not think about it. There is always an image of a widow in my mind, and this image of a widow has existed since I was very young. Now I think about it and it's really embarrassing to see it in front of others. Fortunately, no one can see through other people's minds, otherwise I will be laughed at to death.
Zishi and I sat side by side on the boat in the twilight. Zhou Yu didn't come over to join in the fun. She probably knew that it would be difficult for her to understand what we were saying.
"In the fifth year of Guanghe, the Yangming bandits in Wu rebelled. In the sixth year of Guanghe, there was a severe drought. In the beginning of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans rebelled. In the second year of Zhongping, there was another flood. In this way, natural disasters always alternate with ** and **. Next year is coming. It should be ** again, right?"
"I just got back, why are you saying such depressing things... You seem to have changed a lot, what's wrong, where did your sourness go, you're suddenly so deep, it seems Zhou Yu has had a great influence on you."
"This has nothing to do with her. After you left, the teacher became much stricter and asked us to do everything. We thought it was you who was causing trouble."
My head, no words.
"However, we finally understand the teacher's hard work, but we are still short of manpower. You ran away again, and you are the second most important person in Jingzhou."
"Ha, you're making fun of me. So, how's the war going?"
“The sound of drums urges us to retreat, and the horns sound in response. Above Yunmeng, Jinfan cannot retreat.” I feel like Zishi has come back: “Half a year has passed in a flash, two seasons have passed, two watches have been set three times, the three armies have moved four places, and we have attacked five times in four places… We still haven’t been able to deal with that damn bastard Jinfan.” Suddenly he uttered a very vicious curse.
I think Jinfan must be the thing that Zishi hated the most, but what he hated kept changing. For example, at the beginning, he hated mosquitoes the most, and later he hated "Chun Qiu", and then he hated Zuo Qiuming for writing a biography of Chun Qiu. So much so that later he would ask everyone to turn right when they turned, but I don't know why, although it was a detour, we could always get there. But because of this, we didn't dare to tell him that there was another person named Gongyang and another named Guliang who wrote a biography of "Chun Qiu". This allowed us to continue to feast.
"I have fought with Jinfan, and I have some of his men in my hands."
"I know a little bit, but I'm a little surprised. Wang Lian, you guys were waiting for us on the water. It seems like you guys have fought with someone. I saw the scars on your boat, and it looks like Jinfan and the others got on board."
I briefly explained the situation to him and he was somewhat impressed by me.
"You are amazing, no wonder you climbed so fast, you have a good brain." I think I was a little discouraged, why did everyone discourage me like this? But he quickly changed the subject.
"The person you brought here seems a little weird."
"Your choice of words is a bit weird. Long Xing, Yan Rou, Nan, all of you come here." I waved and called the brothers in front of me over.
"This is General Li Zhen, who once killed the enemy's general in front of an army of 300,000." Of course it would be a bit exaggerated, but it was to help my brothers to save face. I think the range of my brothers is too wide, and I have to classify and organize them properly in the future. Li Zhen stood with his fists clasped: "These are the heroes who followed me to Jingzhou: Po Liu Han Lieya, a Xianbei, is courageous and brave, especially his archery skills are unparalleled in the world. His Han name is Li Beihai, with the courtesy name Longxing: This one is a descendant of the Huns, Husa Lie Nan Guo, seems a little..." Looking at the changes in his facial expression, I added some things that made him slightly happy: "But he is brave and unmatched, often the vanguard of our team, and invincible. His Han name is Liu Nan." I couldn't help laughing at this point, but he was intoxicated by my compliments and hadn't come back to his senses yet. Besides, he might have been used to us calling him that. "This is Yan Rou, who is meticulous in his thinking and never makes mistakes, and is also brave and good at fighting. These three are truly the world's talents." To be honest, I think Nan is still some distance away from being a true talent, but I think the other two people would be treasures no matter where they are.
We were on the boat for a few more days, and I didn't see her during those days. Doctor Hua told me that she had woken up early. I nodded to indicate that I understood and thanked Doctor Hua. Doctor Hua rarely smiled at me in a relaxed manner. I thought he must be right, but he must also be wrong.
Zishi and I kept arguing. He went to see the captives and told me that the accomplice of the Jinfan thieves was Su Fei, Gan Xingba's deputy. The one in the water was called Xiang. I don't know his last name. He was very good at swimming, but he was a thief. Because we were confronting Jinfan and didn't take care of him, we had some conflicts with the army led by Zishi. So we knew each other. But he didn't seem to be on the same side as the Jinfan thieves. It must be a coincidence. Xiang and his men were not important enough to be cleared out in the minds of Brother Wenzheng and his gang. Just seeing Xiang come to stab our boat alone, it can be seen that Xiang was the only capable person among the pirates, and he didn't cause any trouble at ordinary times.
But, at the very least, they don't seem to be on the same path, at least that's how Li Zhen sees it.
Of course I don't think so. I remember that the captured Mao bandit told me to take this road. And Song Qian also told me to rob me. Who did I have such a grudge against that I was put to death? If Xiang and Jinfan were not from the same group, then even the bandits we didn't care about would specifically come to rob us in a place where there was no trace of the ship. It seems that Jinfan and Xiang are connected. However, I just got here and many things are still unclear. Let's wait until I see Brother Wen Zheng to see everything.
It took us six days to get here. Strangely, the journey was too peaceful, so much so that I wanted to tear off Zishi's face to see if he was someone else's fake, because I've heard of the existence of the art of transfiguration, although it seems to be just a vague legend. However, it is really difficult to find someone who looks like both Zishi and Zhou Yu at the same time, so I quickly gave up the idea.
She didn't show up. I often got up early and watched the ship she was on, but to be honest, I didn't see her once in these six days.
When we went ashore, the actions of some cute barbarians were quite interesting. They jumped onto the shore and stomped their feet on the ground, as if they wanted to stomp the ground firmly. After I went ashore, I always felt the ground shaking. I think they might feel the same as me, so they made such cute moves.
Yuzhang is an important town. This is the conclusion I came to after looking at the height and thickness of the city wall when I entered the city gate. The water level in Yuzhang is still very high, and the sound of water can be heard from the city gate a few miles away. However, the people don't seem to be very worried, which makes me very happy. It seems that we have made them feel safe and secure. Brother Wen Zheng has obviously done a good job.
However, Brother Wen Zheng must have had a lot of difficulties recently, because Wang Lian told me that Brother Wen Zheng asked everyone to take a rest and to ignore any harassment or challenge from Jin Fan.
But on the other hand, Li Zhen was unwilling to make any statement about this decision. I asked if he had made any good plans. He shook his head.
This gave me some idea. Obviously, Brother Wen Zheng seemed to have an idea. Li Zhen seemed to have guessed this idea, but Wang Lian didn't seem to think about it at all. It seemed that he had great confidence in Brother Wen Zheng.
When I met Jiang Zheng, he was still looking for someone to raise food for the winter. I was listening in the cubicle next to the hall. I had thought about raising food, and I guess the whole Jingzhou was doing the same. But what I heard was that a group of big households were like Coptis chinensis that had been soaked for an autumn, with a lot of grievances in their stomachs and nowhere to vent. Some had no surplus food, and some had no stored grain. Jiang Zheng said sadly, "It seems that we have to leave. We can't hold on any longer. It seems that we can only retreat to Jingzhou first."
I think this sentence is more fatal to that group of people. They haven't left yet because their foundation here is too solid to move away. They should regard us as their saviors.
However, one of them said strangely: "Let's go, don't you just want to get Yangzhou? Let's see if your governor will agree to let you go back."
It was hard to imagine that this was a sound coming from a human's throat. It sounded three parts like a dog, and seven parts like a cat, so evil that there was no trace of human touch coming from that part.
"Well, then it seems we have no choice but to leave." Brother Wen Zheng remained calm, but I think he was already gambling with that man. In fact, Brother Wen Zheng could really give up the western part of Yangzhou completely, first help my sister to pacify or pacify Mufu Mountain, and then turn around and attack Jinfan with two absolutely superior forces. It's just that Jiang Zheng may not be as bold and decisive as me sometimes.
"Go ahead, I'll see if I can stop you." This person didn't know who had the backing, but he seemed to be fearless.
"That guy's surname is Xia, we all call him a lowly person, he thinks he is both civil and military, and his talent is unparalleled in the world. His family is very powerful, and he is related to the Shichang people. He is very arrogant, who does he think he is? We all think he is a pile of shit." Wang Lian gritted his teeth, obviously he was very angry with this arrogant guy, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. His words were mixed with some obscene words, but fortunately, I was the only one who heard it, so in order to avoid disturbing the people around him, Wang Lian spoke in a very low voice.
I simply kept silent. I gave Beihai a hand, telling him not to say anything more, then turned around, walked around the curtain, and appeared in front of the hall.
Brother Wen Zheng saw a few pimples on his handsome face, which made me unable to hold back my laughter. I tried hard to hold back my laughter, but when I thought that it was probably because of my sister-in-law’s pregnancy, I couldn’t help laughing in the end.
"Who is this person? How dare he laugh so loudly in such a grand meeting room? General Jiang, quickly order someone to expel him." This time I saw that he looked okay. Overall, he didn't look bad enough to make me vomit, but his voice was terrible.
When Zheng Ge saw me, his eyes were filled with joy, but the way he looked me up and down made me feel a little uncomfortable. I rubbed my beard unconsciously, thinking that the straw grows really hard; I hadn't picked it for a few days, and it's already all over the mountains and fields again.
"Who is this person?" He seemed to sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
"My name is Xie Zhi, and I'm granted the title of Marquis of Ping'an Fengyun." I think no matter whether they know me or not, this title alone should be enough to scare people.
"You're still alive..." He said in surprise, then stopped talking immediately, knowing that he seemed to have done something wrong. But my brain wasn't that slow.
"Yes, I'm still alive. You didn't expect that, did you? Come on, arrest this guy who colluded with the Jinfan thieves." I wondered if everything was going too smoothly. This kind of thing actually came to me. I thought I might be confused in this life, but I didn't expect that someone would reveal his true colors as soon as I returned to my own territory. But I was thinking that those eunuchs were really worthless and wanted to get rid of me, but even I, the victim, couldn't figure out the reason. Because I felt that apart from Dong Zhuo, no one else had such a big grudge against me, and maybe there were people from Yizhou. When I thought of this, my heart became gloomy.
"How to deal with it?"
"I've handed him over to you. You can do whatever you want with him. The key is to make him confess his plan to harm me. If he doesn't, he will be cut into pieces according to the law. Give him one day. If he doesn't confess, I'll open his stomach at noon tomorrow." I suddenly became a little furious.
The group of people who had been soaked in bitter water suddenly felt guilty. Some wanted to squeeze in, while others tried to make some efforts. Only a few of them remained silent and left quickly after saying goodbye.
After Zheng sent them away, his face was obviously more worried than when he first saw me. I told him to be at ease and that I would take care of the following matters. He asked someone to take a break for me and went in. He didn't say much to me, just told me that we would have lunch together at noon and left. This made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I wondered if I had done something wrong to embarrass him.
Long Xing came over. I looked at his expression and knew it was useless to ask him. He didn't feel anything was wrong. Yan Rou walked straight towards me. I thought I should listen to his opinion, so I walked straight towards him. This made Long Xing a little strange.
"Marquis Fengyun, this Lord Jiang is the commander here. If you take all the power into your hands and do things without asking for his opinion, will that...?"
Smart people don't need much words. I understood it immediately, my face became serious, I bowed and said, "Zirui, I will teach you." Then I quickly went to find Brother Wen Zheng.
This is a very plain building. I don't know what it was used for in the past, but at least I know that people don't live in this kind of courtyard. So I walked in directly.
Wen Zheng is not a person who bears grudges. When he saw me again, he returned to his normal state. He asked his sister-in-law to come and greet me, and asked me why I didn't go and have a good rest first. My sister-in-law was still able to move easily, but her abdomen was already showing some signs of bulging. Noticing my malicious gaze, they were all a little shy. But Zheng Ge recovered faster, and soon patted my head and told me to be honest. My sister-in-law also complained to him, why didn't he tell her that the eldest brother was coming. I hurried too. That was my idea.
I think my sister-in-law is more quiet than last time, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Except for her slightly darker skin and black robe, there is nothing that reminds me of her previous appearance, except that her hair is still loose. It is worth noting that her accent is obviously between the accent of our Jingzhou people and Wang Lian.
I also saw some papers on the table covered with writing. A closer look revealed what they were. Brother Zheng was teaching sister-in-law the Chinese characters. Apparently, Hu Yujun, Jiang Zheng, Wen Zheng, Li Zhen, Zi Shi, Zhou Yu, these names became good characters for practicing calligraphy. Although she said in a playful way, "Brother, let me write your name." But it was obvious that my surname would make it difficult for her. Sure enough, after writing a few strokes, she found it difficult to write. In the end, she and I finished writing "言, 身, 寸, 矢, 口, 日." But when it came to writing my characters, even I gave up. 睿, why do I have such a complicated character. Although she tried very hard to write, she finally wrote a few chūn characters and some weird characters and gave up. But we all felt relieved and stopped pursuing the matter.
Looking at the look in their eyes as they looked at each other, I suddenly thought of someone, so I told Brother Zheng about my encounter with Uncle San in Liaodong. I thought the name was quite simple, so I asked my sister-in-law to write it.
Sometimes God likes to play jokes, but this joke was a bit too big, and it took me a long time to get over it.
The characters that my sister-in-law knows are relatively simple to write, so I think she should be able to write the name Gongye Jian.
But what I saw was "工页煎". I didn't notice the problem at that time, but when I smiled and removed the first four characters, because they were too close, I also removed part of the first character and added a "羽" character. Then when I picked up the pen to change the first two characters, I stopped. I turned my head and noticed that Brother Wen Zheng was also looking at me.
This is clearly Xiang Yu! This may be a coincidence, but to me, this shock is much greater than a coincidence.
