Jade blood gun

Zhao Yun asked Fan Cheng how he learned that Gongsun Zan was besieged by Cao Cao.

Fan Cheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and replied: "When the lord's army came out of the giant deer, Cao Cao cut off the retreat, and the food and grass were not enough. The army led by General Tian Kai was blocked, and only the lord and three thousand forwards were besieged. In the small town by the Zehu Lake in the mainland. My lord sent ten people to break out for help, and the only one arrived in Ju County, and I don’t know what happened to Youzhou.”

The young man said a lot in one breath, and couldn't help but feel a little exhausted. He drank another sip of wine, and then hurriedly continued: "When Mr. Chen received the lord's request for help and sent me out with a token to look for you, he was already counting troops. .”

Although he was out of breath when he spoke, he spoke very clearly.

There was no one outside the open door.Wu Jinxi hangs down, and the sky is dyed with a layer of orange-red sunset, like the flames surging in the clouds, burning wantonly, as if to paint the whole world and render it into a picture scroll that belongs to the sunset alone.

Wang Wu looked at Zhao Yun patiently and carefully asking every detail, with a calm expression and gentle words.

Since when did Zhao Yun under the battlefield gradually lose his sharpness, like a sword hidden in a sheath, simple and elegant, elegant and restrained.He was handsome and young, calm and elegant, and there seemed to be a gentle warmth in his clear eyes.If he had never seen him riding a horse on the battlefield, no one would have imagined that once the sword was drawn, he would be the general who would never return in a hundred battles, mighty and unstoppable.

When she was in a panic, there was someone who could make up her mind for her, do for her what she wanted to do but couldn't do it, and think of things for her that she didn't think of...

This feeling, it turned out to be like this...safety.

Wang Wu felt that her cold and trembling fingers gradually returned to temperature under Zhao Yun's palm.

In the last life, she left home and worked hard in order to survive, she straightened her back and greeted all obstacles in her life with a smile on her face.I worked hard and worked hard, just for the comfort of the rest of my life, just for myself to be able to straighten my back, to make decisions for my own life, not to be manipulated by others, and not to ask for charity.

She doesn't want such alms again!

As the head of a store, one person is in charge of the store, and everyone knows that she must enjoy the process of dictating everything and shouting and drinking.To put it nicely is to be assertive, but to say it badly, just say that she is not a woman at all.

Only she knew that she was afraid that the water pipes in the house would leak again, and the light bulbs would go out again. Facing the dark, wet mess, she was at a loss.

It's not that I haven't thought about finding someone's shoulder to lean on.However, I remember one day when the faucet of the water pipe burst suddenly, her boyfriend who was in the honeymoon period made a phone call in the wind and rain. Hearing the sound, the gentle male voice on the other end of the phone said in trepidation, "Then you are busy first, and I will call you later." " completely extinguished all the unrealistic expectations in her heart.It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!

After all, since coming here, she has changed her body and identity, but she is still used to planning everything by herself, planning by herself, and facing everything by herself.She is still the woman who gritted her teeth and worked hard alone.

It was only now that she suddenly realized that she didn't have to fight so hard, she could take a step back and breathe a sigh of relief.

That tall and steady figure would not say "I'll come back to you later", "You have to take good care of yourself", or "Drink more water when you're tired or sick", or "I miss you so much" , why don't you come to see me"...

He is not good at words, but he will carry the world for her on his shoulders.

After Zhao Yun finished asking Fan Cheng, he turned his head to Zhang Fei and asked, "Have the three generals ever seen Cao Cao before the Xuzhou battle?"

Zhang Fei was speechless.When he was ordered to go out of the city, Guan Yu had just defeated the first round of Cao Jun's offensive, covering him to break through the siege and ask for help. Apart from the opponent's banner, how could he see who the general of Cao Jun was?

Zhao Yun had made up his mind, so it seems that Cao Cao is more likely to be in Jizhou.

"The situation in Jizhou is urgent. Ah Cheng will rest for the night first. He will set off tomorrow and go to Youzhou to send a large army to help. I will rush to Ju County immediately and lead the army to meet the lord first. Brother Feiyan will lead three hundred Black Mountain troops to Xuzhou, and tie the branches after the horse. , raised more banners, bluffed, and used the strategy of exhausting the army to harass Cao's army at night, so that they could not sleep peacefully. Cao Jun's general is not there, and after a few nights, the army's morale will be disturbed."

Seeing that Zhang Fei moved his lips, as if he was about to speak, Zhao Yun added: "Even if they still can't stop Cao Jun's attack, the Black Mountain Army is familiar with the mountain trails, and it is not difficult to rescue Liu Shijun from danger. You say, this arrangement can good?"

The last sentence was turned back to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu looked at her own reflection in his dark eyes, turned her wrist, and slipped out from under Zhao Yun's palm, and turned her backhand to face his palm, holding them together.

"Okay!" Wang Wu's smile was like the sky after the rain, clean and clear, and even the burning clouds in the sky were immediately paled.

Zhao Yun couldn't help being startled, at that moment, he suddenly had a feeling that there seemed to be something different in Wang Wu's eyes that were as bright as jewels looking at him.

But what was the difference, he couldn't tell.

***

Huang County's troops were few, and Wang Wu met Zhang Fei again. Zhao Yun was worried that Liu Bei would have other thoughts, so he asked Wang Wu to go with him, and they separated when they arrived in Ju County.

Because she had to hurry, even though Wang Wu had practiced horsemanship for more than a year, she still took out the iron stirrup that she had hidden for a long time in front of Zhao Yun. speed.

At nightfall, there were a total of more than a hundred of them, holding torches, illuminating a fire dragon winding a hundred steps.Each of them carried at least three torches.If Wang Wuneng can keep up with their speed as they did when they raided Qingzhou, they will be able to reach Ju County at sunset tomorrow at the latest!

The stirrups were saddled, the horse's belly was hung with a knife, and a pair of arm crossbows that were slightly longer than the forearms were tied around the waist.Although it is still far behind the strong bow and iron arrow, the crossbow machine is easy to operate and does not require much arm strength, but it is just right for Wang Wu's self-defense.

But Zhao Yun was secretly annoyed and blamed himself. During this period of time, they were so busy that one thing was unfinished and another was another thing. He didn't expect to find time to teach Wang Wu how to practice archery!

Wang Wu was still riding Zhao Yun's Jade Lion. She turned on the horse cleanly, adjusted the position of the arm crossbow, stroked the long mane, and then gave a soft scold, rode the horse closely behind Zhao Yun, and blended into the crowd. Among the fire dragons.

The sound of the wind whizzed past her ears, Wang Wu clamped her legs tightly, adjusted her posture following the ups and downs of the horse's hooves, her eyes were fixed on Zhao Yun's back half a step before her, and she breathed evenly.

For more than a year, her physical fitness has improved a lot, and she even seems to have adapted to this speed of traveling naturally as soon as she got on the horse.

The sky was getting darker, and under the flickering firelight, Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Wang Wu every once in a while.Wang Wu stretched out her hand and brushed the shattered hair on her forehead that was blown away by the night wind, grabbed the air, raised her head and smiled at him.

There was no moon tonight, and following Zhao Yun's order, the horse team stopped in the depths of the forest. Taking advantage of the time to catch their breath, they replaced the burned torches and lit a new one.

It was when the night was at its thickest, all the hands and feet quickly rummaged to find the fire oil, and poured it on the thick branches tied with cloth.More than a hundred people, more than a hundred horses, everyone focused on the torch in their hands, no one spoke, and even the horses stopped quietly.In the dense forest of the mountains, not a single sound was heard.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun seemed to think of something, paused, and raised his head suddenly.

Wang Wu didn't take the torch, but was taking kerosene from the cloth bag hanging on the other side of the horse's belly and was about to hand it to him. Seeing that his expression was different, she couldn't help but feel a slight thump in her heart.

"what happened?"

Wang Wu's voice was not loud, but in a silent forest, it was like a piece of gravel thrown into the lake, stirring up broken ripples in circles.

Without Zhao Yun's explanation, even she realized that something was wrong now.

After the sting of insects, it is early summer again, the season when insects and ants breed in the mountains and forests, and birds court.When they first set off, because of the fast speed of the horse, Wang Wu was troubled by the small flying insects rushing towards him, she lowered her head and almost lay down on the horse's back.

But now, in this dreary summer night, there is not even a single bit of insects and birds chirping, and there is not even the footsteps of pikas in the grass.

This is... an ambush?

Wang Wu's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

Zhao Yun quickly confirmed her thoughts, waved his hand, summoned a cavalryman, and whispered an order in his ear: "There is an enemy ambush here. Oral order, put out the fire first, then get off the horse and bind the horse's hoof, listen to my orders , quickly disperse. A team of four, look at each other from head to tail, don't be alarmed when you hear any movement, don't look back, whoever arrives in Ju County first will do the best."

In the flickering light of the fire, the cavalryman's face became serious.He may not understand this strategy of breaking the whole into parts, but it is the soldiers brought out by Zhao Yun. From Zhao Yun's tone, he heard the urgency of the situation, so he promised in a low voice and led the horse to pass the order.

The password was passed on from one person to another, and from two to four. Soon, the torches were extinguished one by one. From a distance, the long fire dragon seemed to be chopped off one by one, and became shorter and shorter.A large mountain forest that was originally illuminated by the fire dragon also fell into darkness again.

Amidst the rustling of cloth rubbing, Wang Wu knew that it was the soldiers who extinguished the torches and were binding the horseshoes.But the surroundings were still so quiet that it made people panic, so quiet that she even deliberately slowed down her breathing, not daring to pant loudly, but only heard the sound of her heart beating in her chest, like the hooves of a galloping horse.In just a moment, the palm of the hand holding the rein was already wet with sweat.

In the dim light of the fire, Zhao Yun's command was determined, his expression as calm as water, staring at the torch that was extinguishing faster and faster in front of him.Sensing Wang Wu's gaze, he turned his gaze away, pursed his lips, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Don't be afraid."

Wang Wu let out a heavy breath, tugged at the corners of her tense and stiff mouth, and showed an unattractive smile. Just as she was about to speak, Zhao Yun suddenly heard the sound of metal friction that is unique to a crossbow trigger.

"Disperse!"

Following Zhao Yun's stern shout, countless dull and indistinguishable hooves of horses suddenly sounded from all around, and they ran out in all directions.Almost at the same time, Wang Wu heard countless sharp and rapid whistling sounds all over the mountains and plains, tearing apart the dark dusk, and sweeping towards them.
