There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"You don't look well." Beside Mi Fang, a flat voice came slowly, and there seemed to be a bit of teasing in the tone.

Mi Fang turned her head and gave the speaker a hard look: "This matter has nothing to do with you! Why do you have to follow me? If you can't help me out, then shut up and wait! Speak and make fun of me." To me, do you think that I really can't cure you, a prisoner of your class?"

Mi Fang's words were not very polite, but the man didn't seem to care, instead he said slowly: "I'm not a prisoner, judging from the scale of your grand master's hospitality, Xu should be regarded as a guest of your Xuzhou army. "

Fang Fang's teeth itched.

The one who spoke was none other than Xu Rong, who was rescued by the pottery merchant and Yuan Shao after untold hardships.

Xu Rong has gotten better since he communicated with the pottery merchant last time. Although the knot in his heart has not been fully opened, his body is slowly recovering bit by bit.

The pottery merchant entrusted Mi Fang with full authority over Xu Rong's settlement, and asked him to take care of Xu Rong's eating, drinking, and messing with himself, and not to pass the blame on to others.

The idea is heartwarming, but Mi Fang is not convinced.

He, the chief general appointed by the governor of Xuzhou himself, would feel unbalanced if he wanted to send warmth to Mi Fang's door every day to a traitor's subordinate, a prisoner.

But he has no choice. For the potter's orders, Mi Fang has already instinctively and unconditionally obeyed, not to mention letting him warm Xu Rong, or letting him eat Xu Rong's shit. Of course, Mi Fang can't do this in the short term. .

Xu Rong's body is still recovering. Apart from communicating with the potters who usually visit him, the person he knows best in the Xuzhou Army is Mi Fang. After a long time, he has become familiar with him. Xu Rong is also willing to make fun of him when he is bored. Mi Fang said a few words.

Mi Fang's ability is not great, but her mind is not particularly small, plus she has been with the pottery for a long time, and she is a little bit skinny.Going back and forth, and sometimes countering Xu Rong with a few words, it added a little fun to Xu Rong's dull recuperating life. People who have been severely injured physically and mentally may need this kind of feeling.

For Xu Rong, recuperating his wounds is second, the most important thing is that he still can't get over his heart knot, especially every time when Xu Rong looks in the bronze mirror, Xu Rong sees his blind eyes and face cut by the sword in the mirror. , It was like a moment of depression and loss.

Regarding this matter, it was useless for the potter to persuade Xu Rong.

Even though Xu Rong wasn't handsome before, he is indeed disfigured now.

But what I didn't expect was that Mi Fang actually thought of a way for Xu Rong.

He asked the army blacksmith to make Xu Rong a bronze mask that could cover his face.

This mask does not cover the whole face, but uses the nose, mouth and middle as the junction, covering most of the face above the mouth, but leaving a mouth to communicate with people.

Before Emperor Wen came to power, China had a long history of corporal punishment, namely: Mo, 劓, 剕, Gong, Dapi, etc. Especially during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, corporal punishment flourished in the world, and many upper-level bureaucrats inevitably broke the law, especially After being tortured by ink and 劓, his face was stabbed with ink and his nose was cut off. His face was destroyed and he had no face to see others, so he often used a mask to hide from others.

The mask sent by Mi Fang allowed Xu Rong to cover his damaged face when he went out, and the relationship between the two of them also reached a new level because of this bronze mask.

However, the potter didn't like Xu Rong's mask, which was cold and devoid of warmth. He couldn't see people's expressions clearly when he spoke, and it felt like talking to a ghost.

Today, Mi Fang was arranging for the medical officer to change Xu Rong's dressing in the tent, and the four brothers of the Pei family came with the potter's badge and the secret order, asking Mi Fang to send troops quickly to meet the potter's group, and try to stop Bao Xin's attack chasing the army.

When Mi Fang heard this, her head grew dizzy, but she couldn't help being ordered. The question was to stop her allies from chasing bandits, but what reason should she use?

As if seeing Mi Fang's embarrassment, Xu Rong asked to go with Mi Fang.

Although the pottery merchant entertained Xu Rong as a guest, he was a prisoner of the Xuzhou army in name, and Mi Fang should not have led him out without authorization, but one thing was that he had just recovered from a serious illness and was in poor health, and his horse was still shaky. , There is no such thing as a moth at all.Second, Xu Rong was alone, and Mi Fang led 3000 soldiers out to stop Bao Xin this time. Xu Rong's physical condition, even if he wanted to play some small tricks under the watchful eye of [-] people, it was impossible for so many people to step on them to death. him.

The three are the most practical, without a pottery merchant to back him up, Mi Fang is daring and Xu Rong has experienced many storms, so if he brings Xu Rong here, he can at least have someone to take care of him.

Just when Mi Fang was worried, a burst of dust rose on the official road not far away.

Mi Fang knew what was going on without guessing.

Not long after, Bao Xin and his former generals came into Mi Fang's eyes.

When I was young, I saw Bao Xin holding Changshuo, with a majestic face, galloping up to Mi Fang, his eyes were full of sternness and questioning.

Mi Fang took a deep breath, bowed to Bao Xin immediately, and said: "I, Mi Fang, have seen General Bao, and I am wearing armor, so I can't fully salute, please don't blame me."

Chapter 1: Xu Rong's First Achievement

Bao Xin had spent a long time with the Xuzhou army of pottery merchants, so he naturally recognized Mi Fang.

Seeing Mi Fang bowing to him, Bao Xin also bowed back to him right away, and said seriously: "Zi Fang, you and I are allies, in front of Bao, there is no need to say any false courtesy, I just ask you, on your way, Have you ever seen a Baibo army rogue pass by here?"

"Ah..." Mi Fang showed embarrassment, and after hesitating for a while, she replied against her will: "I never saw it."

Bao Xin rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Mi Fang's level of lying is too clumsy, so a large group of cavalry can't see it?Are the scouts of your Xuzhou army blind?Besides, since you didn't see the Baibo army rogues, why are you blocking my way here?

What kind of person is Bao Xin, after listening to Mi Fang's words, he knows that there is something tricky in it.

"General Zifang, I don't care whether you see it or not, but now I want to use this way to kill the bandits, so I ask General Zifang to give way to Bao for convenience."

"This..." Mi Fang hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "General Bao, let's stop chasing? Can you lead the troops back?"

Bao Xin frowned: "Why?"

"this one"

Mi Fang was secretly anxious, you ask why?That's because what you're chasing after isn't a Baibo bandit at all, but my Xuzhou army son!

But this matter must not be told the truth to Bao Xin, after all, it is not a shameless thing for an officer to pretend to be a thief, and even though Bao Xin is an ally, he is very upright. No wonder Bao Xin's lungs exploded.

"General Bao's soldiers and horses chased the Baibo army all night. This bandit is nothing special, so let's just let it go and there are not many people. What can happen, right?" Mi Fang tentatively discussed with Bao Xin.

Bao Xin frowned when he heard this, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Zifang, what are you talking about! How can you let the bandits go! Do you know how much money you will have if you let them go today? The people will be tortured and persecuted by him! Your words are simply absurd!"

After a pause, Bao Xin continued: "Zi Fang, you hurry up and give way to this general! Bao suppresses thieves for the sake of the country and the people, I don't care what your reasons are, dare to hinder the general's plan to suppress thieves Even if I kill you, I will explain it to the potter when I turn around!"

Straight girl thief!

When Mi Fang heard that Bao Xin was threatening him, she gasped, and couldn't help but leaned back, seeing that the dead man would fall directly under the horse.

This guy is so afraid of the old problem again.

At this moment, a big hand stretched out from behind, supported Mi Fang's back, and straightened Mi Fang's back abruptly.

Mi Fang regained her composure, and turned her head to look behind her.

"General Bao, what a great official authority." But a man wearing a half-bronze mask came out on his horse. Although his voice was cold, he looked very weak, and he swayed slightly on the horse. , seems to be barely supporting.

Bao Xin didn't recognize him for a while, after thinking about it, there doesn't seem to be such a masked weirdo in the Xuzhou army?Where did this guy come from.

"Who are you?"

Xu Rong took his hand away from Mi Fang's back, cupped his hands at Bao Xin, and said, "I'm Xu Rong."

Hearing this, Bao Xin's expression turned cold.

"Hey! No wonder you look a little familiar. It turns out that you are a vassal of the rebel! I heard from Benchu ​​that you were blinded by Sun Lang in the battle of Bianshui that day, and then you surrendered to the Xuzhou Army. Zhonghehe, you are just a surrendered general, how dare you gossip in front of this general?"

After hearing this, Xu Rong didn't get angry. He hadn't ridden a horse since he was seriously injured, and now he was a little dizzy after riding for a long time.

Holding his body strong, Xu Rong respectfully said to Bao: "There are a few things wrong with General Bao's words just now. I'm sorry Xu has to correct them today. First, Xu Rong is not a traitor. The position of General Wei Mao Zhonglang is obtained from the imperial edict of my Majesty the Emperor of Han. Mr. Bao said that I am a vassal of a traitor, but the person who is a vassal of Xu has always been the Emperor of Han. Thieves, are you the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"
