Zheng Ping grasped the arrow quickly with his eyes and hands, and immediately realized that his move was wrong, he took advantage of the momentum and fell to the side, looking from a distance, it was like being shot by an arrow and falling from a horse.
"Benefactor!"
The chief guard immediately returned with his horse, but there was one person who was faster than him, and swept to Zheng Ping's side like a gust of wind, and helped him up from the ground to avoid being trampled by the startled horse.
Concealing a moment of astonishment, the chief guard abandoned his horse and rushed to Zheng Ping's side.
"Benefactor, are you okay?"
Zheng Ping raised his head, there was no injury on his face, only a strand of hair on the sideburn was cut off by the sharp arrow, and it was short of the side.
"It's okay, but luckily it just brushed against the side of my face..." He turned to the person who was supporting him on the other side, took advantage of the situation to get up, and said, "Thank you."
"Don't dare to take credit for it."
It turned out that it was the young man roasting sparrows in the forest who rushed to him at the first time.At this moment, the latter's eyes were clear, as if he had seen something, and his eyes kept falling on Zheng Ping's face, as if he was sizing him up.
Zheng Ping ignored it, and ordered the chief guard: "Tell the others: abandon the horse and go into the forest immediately."
They didn't know in advance that the two sides fighting outside would rush in along this forest road, so they just abandoned their baggage and rode back on horses.
But now that the army/team has rushed into the forest road, they can no longer follow the original plan—only this forest road in this forest is relatively spacious, which can accommodate convoys, and other places are not suitable for vehicles and horses.
Forced by another army/team, Cao Jun entered the forest while dodging the rain of arrows. There was no time to abandon his horse in a hurry, and it was impossible to scatter his own army/team, so he could only charge forward.
At the same time, Zheng Ping's guard riding skills can only be regarded as mediocre, and he will be overtaken by the soldiers behind him soon.If they continue to evacuate on horseback, they will not only be vulnerable to the impact of the rear cavalry, but also be affected by the rain of arrows.The only way is to give up the horses and run to the woods on both sides, avoiding the cavalry and the arrows.
The captain of the guard took the order and left.Fortunately, this guard was carefully selected by Kong Rong from his own trilogy. Although it is not as good as well-trained elite soldiers, it is much better than ordinary guards.With clear orders, no matter how flustered they were, they evacuated around Zheng Ping in an orderly manner, and cleared their way in the nearby forest in an orderly manner.
The trees on both sides are luxuriant, and the land is uneven, making it very difficult to walk.
The young man who roasted sparrows neatly cleared the roadblocks with his sharp dagger, and even took the time to ask Zheng Ping, "I'm strong, why don't I carry you on my back?"
His tone was so sincere that people couldn't tell whether he was probing or simply expressing concern for Zheng Ping's physical fitness.
To this, Zheng Ping just replied calmly: "Thank you, I will go by myself."
He stared at the young man's face without any sense of tension, as if he didn't see any haze, and curled his lips and added,
"If you have such good intentions, why don't you go back and put my pony on your back, anyway, you are very strong."
The young man froze.He really did it on purpose just now, because he found something interesting about Zheng Ping and said that on purpose.
He had guessed that Zheng Ping might ignore him, would turn into anger, and would laugh it off. He had conceived all kinds of answers, but he had never thought that it would be this kind of... this kind of choking, unresponsive mockery.
He couldn't tell whether Zheng Ping's words just now were a joke or a sarcastic warning, but he could only be sure that this person was not easy to mess with, and it didn't match his muscular body at all.
The young man didn't dare to tease at will any more, and hurried along with the crowd.
All the way silent.After about one stick of incense, the crowd could no longer hear any movement, so they stopped to rest.
After running at full speed for so long, even the guards in good physical condition are a little tired.
The few attendants who were not as trained as the guards collapsed on the ground like mud.
The one or two obedient ones, holding on to their discomfort, came to Zheng Ping's side to ask him if he felt unwell, and wanted to wipe his sweat for him.
Zheng Ping waved his hand, let the two stewards rest while borrowing a dagger from the young man, completely cut off the sleeve that was cut by a tree branch and hung in half, and put it in his arms.
Among the many followers who were more or less tired, there were only two people whose breath was not in any disorder.
One is the young man they met in the forest, and the other is Zheng Ping.
If it is said that Zheng Ping has a special identity in his previous life, he has mastered a unique walking rhythm and breathing skills, even if his body is not strong in this life, he can still improve the efficiency of his actions to the greatest extent——then this young man has an extremely strong physique , which is very easy.
Zheng Ping spoke highly of the young man's physique, but in the eyes of the young man, his performance just now was even more surprising.
Zheng Ping took the water bag, drank half of it, and asked the head of the guard to take off the spare water bag and threw it to the young man.
The young man thanked him in a low voice, and the act of drinking water was carefree but not vulgar.
After only a few sips, he closed the water bag.Just as he was about to return it to Zheng Ping, he received a sentence of "take it", and without any excuses, he tied the water bag around his waist.
The servants who saw this scene felt that this person was quite rude, but Zheng Ping didn't feel any hesitation, on the contrary, he felt that this person was straightforward and not a polite person.
The young man put away the water bag, and solemnly saluted Zheng Ping.
His previous words and deeds showed the demeanor of a knight-errant, but now he is performing the ceremony... If Zheng Ping felt it, he patiently waited for his next words.
"Li Jin, courtesy name Jixian, is from Jiyin County. It is a pleasure to meet you today, and thanks to Tan Piao's kindness, I will keep it in my heart."
Precious and sincere words are always easy to touch people's hearts, and then they ignore the meaning of value, so it is not impossible to achieve the achievement of "Taoyuan Three Knots".
However, Zheng Ping is not an ordinary human being, he has always been indifferent to such provocative words, and has no emotion.
"No, it's just a pie and a pot of water. If you feel fussy, just return it to me some other day."
Li Jin, who was still preparing for sensationalism: "..."
Zheng Ping: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Li Jin was silent for a moment, and said again: "This...why don't you play cards according to common sense?"
"Is that what you were going to say?"
Once again blocked emotionally by Mo De, Li Jin raised his hand as a sign of surrender: "I admit defeat...but I really want to make friends."
"reason?"
"Closing eyes with you."
Hearing this, Zheng Ping glanced at Li Jin.
The other party still had a smile on his face, and there was no joke in his eyes.
So Zheng Ping was able to confirm that the scene of him holding the feather arrow just now was indeed seen by Li Jin.
Even though he reacted extremely quickly, he let go the moment he caught the arrow, and used his strength to change the direction of the arrow, making a gesture of being brushed by the arrow and falling off the horse.For Li Jin, who is physically stronger than ordinary people and has excellent hearing and dynamic vision, it is not difficult to find abnormalities.
Now that Li Jin's motive was confirmed, Zheng Ping stopped piercing his heart with sharp words, and said calmly, "You can't get anything from me."
The implication was that it was impossible to teach him the trick just now, or even if he taught him, Li Jin would not be able to learn it.
After hearing this, Li Jin's expression remained unchanged: "It's okay, it wasn't for this."
Seeing that Zheng Ping didn't speak anymore, he was unwilling to be lonely and said, "I've reported my name to you, why didn't you tell me yours?"
"Why should I say that?"
"I said it all, why didn't you say it?"
"I asked for it?"
Li Jin choked, looked at his eyes with his arms around him and said, "It's the courtesy of a scholar to come and go. You don't want to give your name. Could it be that your status is different and it's not appropriate to say it?"
Li Jin thought that Zheng Ping would sneer or retort, but Zheng Ping nodded in agreement:
"exactly."
If you talk about "true identity", he really counts as "different identity", so it is not appropriate to say it.
Li Jin stared at Zheng Ping for a while, knowing that he would not enter, so he simply asked another topic: "When the team of soldiers and horses came in just now, I saw you took a second look at the leading general, do you know him?"
Zheng Ping acted as if he had never heard of it.
Just when Li Jin thought he would not answer, he suddenly turned his head and met Li Jin's gaze with a half-smile: "Who are you looking for in the forest?"
Li Jin was taken aback for a moment, before he could open his mouth, he heard another sentence——
"Or...you want to go through this forest, who are you looking for?"
Li Jin, who was thrown two questions without getting an answer, opened his eyes wide and stared at Zheng Ping with hellish eyes.
"...I know why you didn't introduce yourself, because you are a ghost."
Zheng Ping: "..."
As he spoke, Li Jin nodded his head heavily, affirming himself, "A ghost who can see through people's hearts."
Zheng Ping had no intention of showing off, and since Li Jin had admitted it in disguise, he had no reason to hide it.
"You are right. The reason why I paid attention at that time was because I had met the general at the head."
"'Knowledge' can't be called it, it's just a chance meeting."
Hearing this, Li Jin didn't care, and asked casually, "Oh? Then do you know who he is?"
"He is Captain Chen Duwei under Cao Cao's tent——Le Jin."
Li Jin's casual expression froze on his face.His eyes widened in surprise, with a bit of disbelief: "Cao Cao's army/team?"
Seeing his different attitude, Zheng Ping knew that he must have something to do with Cao Cao.
No matter what the relationship is, it can't be the superficial reason of "the same name is called X Jin".
After waiting quietly for a while, Li Jin asked again: "Do you know... Is Li Dian in Cao Jun's expedition?"
"I don't know." He was not familiar with Cao Cao.
But since Li Jin mentioned Li Dian, both of them are surnamed Li...
"Who are you, Li Dian?"
"A relative." Li Jin waved his hand and hurried back, "I will repay you for the kindness of a meal and a water in the future. If there is something urgent, take a step first."
Zheng Ping watched Li Jinyuan's back, before the back completely disappeared from sight, Li Jin suddenly left and returned.
"What else?"
"This is for you."
Hearing this sentence, Zheng Ping stopped his dodging movements, and something was forced into his hand.
Looking down, it was a barbed branch with a roasted sparrow on it.
Zheng Ping: Lao Ping in the subway looks at his mobile phone.jpg
"What does that mean?"
"Although you don't want to make friends with me, please try my craft." As if afraid that he would refuse, Li Jin ran away quickly, and waved to him after a few feet, "Farewell."
After Li Jin left, Zheng Ping looked at the skewered sparrows for a long while, and took a cautious bite.
After a while, he spat out the burnt meat expressionlessly.
The barbecue that made Li Jin say to himself that he was starving to death was really not a good thing.
Zheng Pingping rested in place for a long time, and sent a guard who had been a scout back to Lindao to investigate quietly.
The guards led away, and after an hour, they returned with a heavy load:
"The armies of both sides have retreated. The horses are gone. I don't know whether they were taken away by them or scattered in fright... Most of the belongings and utensils are missing, but the carts are still there. I followed the instructions of the benefactor, among the remaining belongings. I picked some, packed them up and carried them back."
The loss of the horse was expected, but the guards and the others still had worried expressions on their faces.
This place is still far away from their destination, how should they go if they lost their horses?
The chief guard said: "It's far away from the city, so it's not suitable to get horses. I have to let the benefactor feel wronged, and the servants and others will take turns to carry them on their backs. When they enter the city, they will change the horses..."
"That's not necessary." Zheng Ping waved his hand to cut off his words, "Whoever caused us to lose the horse, we should ask him to get it back."
"The benefactor means...?"
Zheng Ping added word by word: "Rob the horse."
"Benefactor!"
The chief guard immediately returned with his horse, but there was one person who was faster than him, and swept to Zheng Ping's side like a gust of wind, and helped him up from the ground to avoid being trampled by the startled horse.
Concealing a moment of astonishment, the chief guard abandoned his horse and rushed to Zheng Ping's side.

Zheng Ping raised his head, there was no injury on his face, only a strand of hair on the sideburn was cut off by the sharp arrow, and it was short of the side.
"It's okay, but luckily it just brushed against the side of my face..." He turned to the person who was supporting him on the other side, took advantage of the situation to get up, and said, "Thank you."
"Don't dare to take credit for it."
It turned out that it was the young man roasting sparrows in the forest who rushed to him at the first time.At this moment, the latter's eyes were clear, as if he had seen something, and his eyes kept falling on Zheng Ping's face, as if he was sizing him up.
