Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Sun Ce's youngest sister, Sun Zhi, although not named Shang Xiang, is as proficient in martial arts as it has been rumored throughout the ages.Li Mu's most troublesome thing is to draw the bow and swing the knife, but this little girl who is still tall can practice in the yard alone for a whole afternoon, which makes Li Mu often see Tai Shici's face of hatred expression.

But this girl's temperament is arrogant and stubborn, not as easy to coax as Sun Shao.Since Li Mu came to Jiangdong, according to Mrs. Wu, she was not very close to Sun Quan at first, not to mention that she never called Li Mu a second brother in private, and she didn't even take a good look at her once. Obviously It's because she doesn't like her fake brother.

He also has a big temper on weekdays, and when Sun Ce was alive, he was extremely pampered to this girl, and even the military camp often took her around.Therefore, when the lieutenant soldiers heard her voice, those who had excuses made excuses, and those who couldn't find an excuse drank like crazy. In an instant, everyone suddenly became busy.

Of course, Li Mu would not invite her to a banquet today, but the little girl sneaked in at some point, wearing a short brown men's clothing that I don't know where she came from, and her forehead was tied up like Li Mu's. Finally, he called out "Second Brother" in front of everyone, his face flushed red, he stared at Zhao Yun, and tightly pressed his lips together.

Although Sun Zhi was young, she had collected all kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds to fill the room.Before Li Mu sent troops to Guangling, in front of Mrs. Wu, he indeed said that when he came back this time and gave her a good sword, it would be considered as a gesture of favor - she can't haggle over every detail with a little girl.

But the Qingzhi Sword is heavy in the hand, and the blade is extremely thin. It is really a sharp weapon in wartime, so how can it be used by a little girl like Sun Zhi?Originally, he wanted to give her a dagger similar to the Emei thorn of the later generations at the craftsman, but these days——I'm too busy!

The barracks in the salt field ran at both ends, and they couldn't go to the craftsman's office once in three to five days. When they went there, they checked the trebuchets and studied the catapults, and completely forgot about it.

She has been back to Jiangdong for so long, and she has forgotten it for so long... Li Mu rubbed her forehead, feeling very guilty for breaking her promise to a little girl, and looked at Zhou Yu as if asking for help.

However, Zhou Yu was exchanging greetings with Guan Yu. The two toasted and laughed, but they didn't even look at her.

And the rest of the generals seemed to have made an agreement, taking care of each place and drinking and laughing loudly. Even Lu Meng came up to Sun Shao and didn't know what to say, only Li Mu and Sun Zhi were left standing in front of Liu Bei and Zhao Yun. Eye to eye.

"Sister She is used to playing with me since I was a child. Please forgive me for being rude." Feeling depressed, Li Mu glanced at Zhou Yu again, seeing that he still didn't even look back, so he could only bite the bullet She winked at Sun Zhi.

This little girl has an arrogant temper, but she was born in the general family, so she still has the basic sense of propriety. If not, she would not know that she is a fake and is extremely awkward, so she would still call her second brother in front of others.

The usually aloof little girl was a bit abnormal for some reason, but when Li Mu stopped her conversation, her eyes turned red, she stomped her feet, turned around and ran out the door.

As soon as she ran out, the soldiers who hid to the side seemed to be suddenly lifted, and immediately walked towards Li Mu holding the wine cups, those who toasted, those who persuaded him to drink, and those who refused to accept Zhao Yun got the Qingzhi sword, and borrowed Jiu Jin wanted to compete with him, and even made a fuss asking him to change his sword and fight Lu Meng again, as if he didn't remember the little twists and turns caused by Sun Zhi just now.Only a few unidentified recruits took the wine and "sincerely" "asked" the veterans what happened.

After drinking for another while, Liu Bei wanted to find an opportunity to discuss with Li Mu about borrowing a boat, and even wanted to get acquainted with the Jiangdong generals, so naturally he would not take the initiative to say goodbye, and exchanged pleasantries with long sleeves.Zhao Yun, however, was introverted and was really not good at dealing with such situations. He was stopped for a drink and saw Guan Yu standing behind Liu Bei without moving his eyebrows. , So under the pretext of sobering up, he withdrew from the side door to the small courtyard behind the hall to hide quietly.

The front and back courtyards are separated by a huge lake and stones, and some fake rocks are added. It is not as magnificent as the majestic pavilion in the Xiongshan Mountains of the North, but it has a half-hidden delicacy and meticulousness.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Zhao Yun walked slowly around the corridor. The time he had been in Guangling with Liu Bei was not short. He had also seen all kinds of arrangements in the local aristocratic houses.However, in the open space between the lake rocks and the curved corridor, there is a shallow pit with a square of two steps, and a bundle of bamboo branches and several stones are placed in it, and there are no other flowers and trees.

He stopped and took a closer look, but he couldn't see what it meant at all.

Li Mu thought that the lines of the map were simple, especially when combined with the infantry on the terrain. He borrowed Huang Yueying's idea of ​​carving a city model, set up a sand table, and used the sand as the map. A horizontal line is a river, which is clear and intuitive.The sand table was so huge that it couldn't be used in the hall, so she separated out such a small courtyard.

Not to mention that because of the rain just now, Li Mu cleared away all the sand for the time being. Even if the shallow pit was really covered with sand, bamboo branches tied with ribbons of different colors were inserted regardless of the camp of the enemy or us, and then placed on stones It is impossible for anyone to see that this is actually a huge map.

The air in the spring night is still slightly cool, but it is also somewhat clear and refreshing, which makes people's heart and lungs feel good.Zhao Yun turned around for a while, and when he was about to go back, he suddenly heard the sound of metal and stone clattering from the other side of the lake stone.

Before the banquet was over, all Jiangdong generals were at the table, at most there were patrolling soldiers passing by in groups, so why was there any movement of fighting?

With a thought in mind, he turned over the wooden railing of the corridor and walked towards the lake stone.

Wisps of moonlight poured out from the gaps in the fake stones hidden by the building, casting dark white light and shadows on the lake stones, and walked two steps forward, only to find that Sun Zhi was practicing sword behind the lake stones.

The small figure turned and shuttled between the stone gaps, its waist shifted, and its steps overlapped. Although it lacked strength, it was quite methodical when advancing and retreating. On the lake stone, there was a light clank.In her hands, the power of swords and soldiers does not have the slightest meaning of war and blood.

Sun Zhi only felt that there was a fire hidden in her heart, and she exhausted all her strength with each sword chop, as if this could vent all the grievances in her heart.

She has been a martial artist since she was a child, and she most admires and admires her elder brother who is highly skilled in martial arts and has a heroic spirit.Today is her birthday. When Sun Ce was alive, unless he was away in battle, every year on this day he would take her to watch military exercises, hunt in the mountains and forests, have a good day of fun, and then accompany her to listen to reprimands when his mother was upset. Turn around and fill in a few more pieces for her collection of swords, guns, swords and halberds in the room, and count them as congratulatory gifts.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls are most thoughtful and sensitive. Although she has always been reluctant to get close to Li Mu like Sun Shao, but for this "two-year-old" who can shoot four hundred steps with an arrow, lead the army to break through Jiangxia, and is destined to live in spring "Brother" is still very admired, even the daily clothes and makeup are unconsciously more and more like her.

Sun Zhiyuan didn't have to have the Qingzhi sword, but he also knew that Li Mu's gift of the sword to Zhao Yun was really an act of recruiting talents for Jiangdong.But because I can't help but think of my elder brother Yingzi, I feel sad that no one will be able to accompany her to ride horses and bows in the mountains and forests from now on, and I also feel annoyed that no one will remember her birthday, so as to add new sharpness to her famous knife and sword , and then ran out to dance the sword, venting all the stagnation in his heart.

Under the moonlight, Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword at the side of his waist. There was a faint layer of dark streamer at the place where the ancient carvings touched the tiger's mouth. He secretly pursed his lips and slowly withdrew the long sword.The sharp sword came out of its sheath, clanging like a dragon chant.

***

Early the next morning, Zhao Yun finished practicing a set of guns in the posthouse, and when he turned around, he saw Li Mu standing not far away.Quickly picked up the coat that was thrown aside casually, put it on, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the cuff, stepped forward to salute her: "Mr. Quan."

Li Mu was staring at the corner of the room in a daze, when he heard the movement behind him, he came back to his senses, turned around to return the salute, and turned to him, "If General Zilong has military affairs, you can just go and do it yourself, don't worry about me."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun lowered his eyes slightly: "Yun's appearance is disheveled, it's really disrespectful to welcome guests like this."

Don't say that this is in Jiangdong, even during the year in Guangling, Zhao Yun's biggest military affairs were just training the personal guards for Liu Bei.Compared with when he was under Gongsun Zan's command, Bai Ma Yicong lined up and practiced horses all day long, and Gongsun Zan seldom made inspections, and he put on airs and was serious. Later, in Yijing, he didn't even set foot in the barracks anymore. Liu Bei did treat him close, but it was just this closeness. There always seems to be something missing.

As a military general, who would not want to straddle a horse and hold a gun, conquer the battlefield, open up territories for the princes and princes, and protect the wife and children of the family and the country, and get rewarded for his aspirations.All of a sudden, there is more leisure and less practice. After so long, he is still not used to it.

Li Mu took a look at him, and couldn't see it through the loose coat, but seeing the wet reflection of the roots of Zhao Yun's forehead hair in the sun, and the sideburns were sticking to his cheeks, he knew that he must also be covered in sweat.Then he smiled, shook his head, and waved at him: "Did Zilong forget that this is Jiangdong? You are a guest! I don't need you to entertain me as a master."

"That way, you can't be rude." Zhao Yun smiled kindly, and didn't refute her, but he didn't leave either.

Li Mu pointed in the direction of the corner of the eaves she was staring at just now, and explained her reason for coming: "Gong Jin and Liu Bei were discussing the matter of borrowing a boat inside, and I was too lazy to listen to his long speech, so I came out to be lazy."

"Master Quan agreed to borrow the boat?" Zhao Yun couldn't help asking.Liu Bei was very worried about borrowing the boat all the way. If Chen Deng hadn't tried his best to persuade him, he would never have taken the risk of coming to Jiangdong in person.
