[Three Kingdoms] Jingyunshang

Chapter 90 The Trip to Xudu

The hot summer morning comes earlier than other seasons. With the sound of a rooster crowing, the sky gradually brightens. The morning sun shines on Li Jing's room at the "Jiyue Inn" in the east of the city. Li Jing slowly opens her eyes and stretches her body. Just as he was about to get dressed and wash his face, Zhao Yun's voice sounded outside the door: "Jing'er, sister Zhi'er, it's time to get up, Yide and Mrs. Sister-in-law have finished packing and are ready to return to Xinye!"

"Ah! So fast! I just woke up? Zilong, wait a minute, I'll fix it right away." Li Jing washed up in a panic, and found that Lu Zhi beside her had already finished dressing. "Sister Zhi'er, wait for me! How can you get up so early, sister Zhi'er, you called me so early, and I dragged everyone down."

"Sister Jing, I called you a long time ago, but you were so sleepy at the time, I couldn't wake you up no matter what!" Lu Zhi smiled.

"Really? Why didn't I hear it?" Secretly thought: Could it be that you pretended to be a guard and stood guard for too long last night?It doesn't make sense, isn't sister Zhi'er the same?By the way, I forgot that sister Zhi'er has martial arts. Alas, it is good to have martial arts. It would be great if I have martial arts sometime. If that is the case, I will also be a heroine!

"Sister Jing, what are you still thinking about? Brother Zhao, General Zhang, they should all be waiting." Lu Zhi reminded Li Jing.

"Okay, okay, it's over now!"

A quarter of an hour later, Li Jing and Lu Zhi came out of the room. Zhang Fei, who had been waiting for a long time, said with a smile, "Ms. Li's makeup skills are really long. Let me, Zhang Fei, wait!"

Li Jing smiled awkwardly and said: "General Zhang came to tease me again, Jing got up late, and I felt very sorry for Jing, when she returned to Xinye, Jing invited Zilong and General Zhang to drink, and it was brewed by Jing herself! "

"Oh! I can't tell, Miss Li can also make wine, so I, Zhang Fei, can have a good taste!"

"Jing'er, you know how to make wine, why doesn't Yun know?" Zhao Yun was full of doubts.

"It's like this. Among the patients who came to Jing to see a doctor in the past, there were also a few owners of restaurants. Jing saw that General Zilong came to the thatched cottage many times to drink tea. He must be tired of drinking. For this reason, Jing asked the restaurant The boss inquired about the simple wine making method, and the boss told Jing about the wine making method in order to thank Jing for treating difficult diseases several times."

"It seems that, Zilong, you will have endless drinks in the future. Dr. Li is really understanding!" Xia Houjuan smiled slightly.

"That's right! Zilong, why didn't I, Zhang Fei, have such good luck? I, Zhang Fei, am so envious of you!" Zhang Fei laughed.

After hearing what Zhang Fei and his wife said, Li Jing and Zhao Yun unconsciously blushed at the same time. In order to resolve the embarrassment, Li Jing smiled and said: "If General Zhang wants to drink, he can often come to Jing Caolu to drink. Jing will wait for you." General Zhang entertained you like Zilong."

"Okay! I, Zhang Fei, will definitely go!"

"Yide, don't talk about this yet, I'd better go back to Xinye as soon as possible, lest things change later!" Zhao Yun looked serious.

"Zilong is right! Let's go!"

After Zhao Yun settled the bill at the inn, he went on the road with the four of them and headed straight for the south gate of Xudu. When passing the south gate, he found that there were obviously more guards at the south gate today than the day he came.

Zhao Yun secretly thought that something must have happened, so he led the horse dragging the tea leaves towards the city gate, and the four men followed behind with the horse, and there was a portrait of Xia Houjuan painted on the city wall, everyone was surprised , but then regained his expression, Xia Houjuan was particularly surprised, secretly thinking that the portrait on the city wall really looked like his own women's clothing, but thanks to Dr. Li's makeup yesterday, today's own clothing really doesn't look like it.

Zhao Yun saw that the guarding the south gate was the city gate general General Chen that day, but Zhao Yun was puzzled by the fact that Vice-General Wang, who was dragged away by General Chen that day, was also there, which puzzled Zhao Yun.

When General Chen saw Zhao Yun and others coming, he went up to meet him and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, what a coincidence, and I met you again. The Japanese general wanted to invite Shopkeeper Zhao, but the business of Shopkeeper Zhao is busy. Is this going out of town?"

"General Chen, yes, Xiaomin has been here for a few days, and the tea has been sold out. Why don't you go out of the city today to rush to the south to buy tea, so that you can sell it when you come again, but what puzzles Xiaomin is today Why is the city gate so tightly guarded? Are you trying to catch some fugitive prisoner?"

"That's right! Last night when General Ben was about to fall asleep, he received an order from Mr. Cao Pi to ask me to strictly check the people passing by and see if there is anyone who looks like a portrait. I heard that I am looking for something that has been missing for many years. Miss Xiahou!"

Zhao Yun was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he recovered his expression immediately: "Oh! So that's the case, then I would like to ask the general, have you found anyone now?"

"Isn't there nothing! By the way, shopkeeper Zhao, although you helped the general's father, but the general is also carrying out the orders of the superiors. I hope that the shopkeeper Zhao and the staff will cooperate and let the general's subordinates check and carry it with you." luggage."

"That's natural! Please, General Chen!" Zhao Yun clasped his hands and clasped his fists.

"Come here to search the front and back of the general, inside and outside, and keep your eyes bright!"

"Promise!" General Chen gave an order, and several soldiers checked the tea bags of the horses one after another, and then checked the packages of Zhao Yun, Li Jing, and Lu Zhi, and finally when it was Xia Houjuan's turn, they saw Xia Houjuan Holding the package tightly with both hands, a little reluctantly.

"Open the package and let General Ben inspect it!" Deputy General Wang pointed at Xia Houjuan and looked him up and down.

"General, there are some old clothes inside, there is nothing you want to check!" Xia Houjuan said slowly.

"Open it!" Deputy General Wang looked arrogant.

When Zhang Fei saw this, he was so angry that he was about to step forward to get angry and grab Vice-General Wang, when Zhao Yun gave him a look, signaling Zhang Fei not to act rashly, so Zhao Yun stepped forward and said to Xia Houjuan, "Xiao Xia, the general asked you to open the door." , just open it!"

After Xia Houjuan heard the words, he opened the package. When everyone looked at it, it was indeed an extremely worn-out dress full of patches.General Chen cupped his hands towards Zhao Yun and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, the inspection is over, there is nothing suspicious, you can go now!"

"Thank you, General! There will be a later date!" Zhao Yun clasped his hands together.

"There will be a period later!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Yun and others led the horses away from Xudu and entered a dense forest. Seeing that the weather was too hot, Zhao Yun asked everyone to sit under the shade of a tree to rest.

Speaking of the two ends, when General Chen at the south gate was strictly checking the passers-by, three young men rode horses and led hundreds of soldiers towards the south gate. When General Chen stepped forward to look, it was Cao Pi, Xia Houshang, Xiahouba three people.General Chen hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I don't know the son is coming, and I hope you will forgive me before I can meet you!"

Cao Pi, Xia Houshang, and Xia Houba got off their horses respectively, inspected around the south gate and asked, "General Chen, are there any suspicious persons?"

"Report to Young Master! Not yet!"

"That's good! By the way, Vice General Wang, I will forget what you did a few days ago for the sake of Boren's face. If you commit any crimes again, don't say that you will continue to serve as the deputy general at the South Gate. It is not an exaggeration to assume your military position, you should remember it!" Cao Pi's tone revealed a trace of chill.

"Yes! The general will remember it carefully, and the general will never dare again!" Deputy Wang was silent, not daring to kick.

Seeing this, General Chen thought: If this Vice General Wang hadn't relied on the fact that he was a distant relative of Xiahou Shang, he would have kicked this person away a long time ago. Being with this person is really a great shame for this general.

Xia Houba suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said in surprise: "Brother Zihuan, brother Boren, Ba patronizes looking for suspicious persons, but forgot an important piece of evidence." clothes.

"Zhongquan, what is your purpose in taking this object?" Xia Houshang was puzzled.

"Brother Bo, my mother said that sister Juan took away a dress that was very similar to this one and left behind the hairpin I gave her. I was busy looking for someone according to the portrait yesterday, but I forgot about it. "

The sharp-eyed Deputy General Wang immediately recalled that when he checked the package of the 'man' just now, the appearance of the 'man' seemed a bit strange, but he couldn't tell where it was, but the 'man' was unwilling to open the package The appearance is indeed very similar to the old clothes after opening the package.

Deputy General Wang couldn't help being ecstatic, and thought to himself: If you make a great contribution this time, maybe you will be the general of the city gate general, this damn General Chen, let me let you down that day, I look at you and that leader Zhao! The shopkeeper is fighting fiercely. If you dare to say that shopkeeper Zhao and that 'man' are in the same group, now I want you to die without a place to bury you.

"My lord, the general just saw a few tea merchants passing through the city gate, and one of the shopkeepers had a piece of clothes in his package that was almost exactly the same as that shown by General Xiahouba."

"Vice General Wang, is what you said true?" Xia Houba stepped forward and grabbed Vice General Wang's collar.

"General Xiahouba, what the last general said is true, please lighten your hands, you will hurt the last general!"

"General Chen, can this happen?" Cao Pi's tone was unusually cold.

General Cheng tried hard to recall, and the situation just now came to mind immediately, but these people really didn't look like the people in the portrait, so he stepped forward and clasped his hands together and said, "My lord, the general has observed the portrait repeatedly. They really don’t look like the people in the portrait, but the old clothes that Vice-General Wang mentioned just now do look a bit like the clothes wrapped by a guy!”

"General Chen, are you convicted?" Cao Pi snapped.

"The final general is guilty! The final general is willing to lead his subordinates to arrest those five people and redeem them with merit!" General Chen knelt down on one knee, trembling.

"If sister Juan is among the five, Zhang Fei must be among them. I have heard my father say that Guan Yu once beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Guandu, and was extremely brave. Guan Yu once told my father that his third brother The courage of the three is no less than that, if I go with hundreds of people, I am afraid that there will be no return. In this way, Boren, you have passed on a special order to recruit a hundred dead soldiers, Zhong Quan Sui and Chen Wang The general will lead hundreds of soldiers behind him." Cao Pi ordered.

"But Zihuan, that Zhang Fei has the courage to be unworthy of a man, so go over with a little force like you..."

"General Chen, those five people didn't bring any weapons!" Cao Pi asked General Chen about Xia Houshang's concerns.

"Sir, those five people didn't bring any weapons, they were all empty-handed!"

"Did Boren hear that? They didn't bring any weapons. If I had the Feizhang Eight Snake Spear in my hand, I would be afraid of him. Now that I don't have the weapon, and I have a burden beside me, believe me Boren brought it." One hundred dead soldiers, more than a hundred personal guards of a certain person, plus the Second General Chen Wang and his subordinates are enough to deal with these five people."

After Cao Pi finished speaking, he asked again: "By the way, General Chen, where are these five people going?"

"I heard that the shopkeeper Zhao said that the tea merchants in the south, the general guessed that they should go to the direction of Xinye in the south!"

"Okay! The whole army listened to the order and followed my son to chase towards Xinye. They just left not long ago, and I believe they haven't gone far!"

"promise!"

"Drive! Drive! Drive!" Cao Pi took the lead, followed by Xia Houba. General Chen, Deputy General Wang, hundreds of soldiers and more than [-] soldiers guarding the city gate ran behind.

Half an hour later, Cao Pi seemed to see five people in the distant forest. At this time, Zhao Yun heard the neighing of horses from a distance because of his years of experience in the battlefield.Zhao Yun was vigilant in all directions, and suddenly saw the dust flying in the direction of Xudu, so he said to Zhang Fei and Lu Zhi: "Yide, it seems that our whereabouts have been discovered by others, sister Zhi'er, if we fight later, we will He Yide is leading the charge, you don't need to join the battle, just protect Mrs. Sister-in-law and Jing'er!"

"Yeah!" Lu Zhi nodded.

Zhao Yun quickly found an extremely tall pine tree, and there was an extremely wide tree hole under the pine tree. Surprisingly, only one side of the tree hole had no trunk, and the other three sides of the tree hole were extremely hard. Zhao Yun let Li Jing, Xia Houjuan, and Lu Zhi enter In the tree hole, Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei took a guarding posture outside the tree hole.

Soon, Cao Pi led hundreds of soldiers and more than [-] city gate guards to surround Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Li Jing, Lu Zhi, and Xia Houjuan in the tree cave.Cao Pi rode on his horse and asked, "Vice General Wang, identify the man who sent the package!"

Vice-General Wang took a look, and although Xia Houjuan was evasive, he was recognized by the sharp-eyed Vice-General Wang.

"Sir, this is the guy!" Vice General Wang pointed at Xia Houjuan.

"Sister Juan, I'm Brother Xiahouba. Now that things have happened, you still refuse to show your face and let Brother Ba recognize you?" Xiahouba shouted loudly towards Xiahoujuan who was inside the tree hole.

Hearing Xiahouba's words, Xiahoujuan's heart instantly softened. In the days of Xiahou's family, only Brother Xiahouba was the same age as him, and he loved him the most. Every time he wanted something, it was Brother Ba who came first. To himself, although he is only his cousin, he is closer to himself than to his own brother, after all, the two have grown up together since they were one year old.

Xia Houjuan took off his turban, and immediately disheveled his hair. Regardless of Lu Zhi and Li Jing's dissuasion, he came out and said to Xia Houba: "Brother Ba, I am sister Juan. I haven't seen you for many years. I don't want Brother Ba to be so majestic and heroic." , Juanmei is happy for Brother Ba from the bottom of her heart!"

Seeing Xiahou Juan standing up on his own initiative, Xia Houba on the horseback couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears. It took a long time for Xia Houba to speak slowly: "Sister Juan, how have you been all these years?"

"Brother Ba, Juan is doing well, Brother Ba, how about you?"

"I'm also doing well, but my father and mother miss you very much. Now that you have come to Xudu, don't go back with that reckless Zhang Fei. My brother asked my parents to find you another good marriage."

Xia Houjuan shook his head: "Brother Ba, you should go back, Juan already has a child, and Juan can't give up my young child now."

"Sister Juan, no matter what, Brother Ba must bring you back to Xudu today! After all, you are the flesh and blood of Xiahou's family, how can you wander outside." Xiahouba's voice suddenly became louder.

"Brother Ba, why are you bothering? You..." Xia Houjuan was helpless.

"Girl, you go back to the tree hole, and you want to keep me, Zhang Fei, just because of this little guy? It's a dream!" Zhang Fei interrupted Xia Houjuan's words.

Lu Zhi and Li Jing pulled Xia Houjuan into the tree hole, and after listening to Zhang Fei's words, Cao Pi on the horseback laughed and said, "Zhang Fei, you usually show off your might with a zhangba snake spear, but today you don't have a weapon in your hand. My lord, let's see how you show off your power! Come on, come on!" A big battle is about to break out.
