Chapter 206: Yuan Chang's Letter

Chang'an City

"Big brother, I don't want to be so desolate all the way. The capital city of Luoyang was burned to the ground by a fire, and the capital of Chang'an was even more like a ghost domain, which is sad!"

On the street, a cart full of grain moved slowly. The cart was carried by five middle-aged men in coarse linen clothes, some tall and some short, some fat and some thin. The person who spoke was one of them, an old man of medium stature with a wrinkled face. However, looking at his clear eyes, it does not match his age. Look at the two delicate little mustaches under his nostrils, which look like eyebrows from a distance.

That's right, these five people are Ye Gucheng, Ximen Blowing Snow, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Sikong Xingxing. According to Yuan Chang's instructions, after escorting Zhang Laogen to Yecheng, they went to Chang'an, and finally arrived today. In order not to be too conspicuous, the five of them were dressed in disguise, just like a peasant in the countryside who went to the city to sell grain.

Although Dong Zhuo is brutal, he will not loot near Chang'an City, after all, the Xiliang soldiers under his command want to live, and they still have to rely on these people. Therefore, Dong Zhuo commanded the Western Liang army to plunder other states and counties.

Ye Gucheng's fierce gaze cautiously swept around, and said in a low voice: "Dong Zhuo is so violent that the people dare not take half a step out of their homes, lest they be persecuted by the Xiliang army. The Han Dynasty used to be strong, and it was also a catastrophe to become like this. Now what we have to do is to follow the lord and return the world to peace and prosperity. ”

"Yes, what the eldest brother said is very true. ”

The four of them nodded in response, and then stopped talking, and at this time, a group of Xiliang troops on the opposite side was walking towards them.

"Yo, what village are you from? Don't you know the rules?"

The group of Xiliang sergeants walked straight towards the five of them, and then stopped in front of them. One of the Xiliang sergeants led by him was patrolling with the ten sergeants under his command, and when he saw the five people of Ye Gucheng entering the city to sell grain, with their temperament, they naturally had to exploit them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little one is a rural villager, I don't know what the rules are, and I hope that the military master will give you advice. ”

"Hey!"

Nashi Chang laughed treacherously, turned around and signaled, and two Xiliang sergeants strode out and removed a bag of grain and rice from the car.

"Sue you, if there were no guards from us, you would be able to buy and sell so safely, this bag of grain is the reward for us, you won't have any opinions, right?"

"The little ones don't dare, it's a small honor for the military master to be able to take a fancy to our food. ”

Ye Gucheng nodded, without the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

"Haha!"

The chief of the leader laughed with satisfaction, patted Ye Gucheng's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Not bad, not bad! For the sake of you being so good, the uncle kindly reminds you." On this way, you will meet several patrols, and they will all honor some food, and you will be able to ensure that you are worry-free. Then make haste to find an inn in the city and settle down, and lay down your food, or you will go home empty-handed. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, uncle!"

When those Xiliang sergeants saw that they had taken away Ye Gucheng's food, and they were still grateful to them, they all laughed proudly. Then, carrying the bag of robbed grain, under the leadership of the chief, he laughed and left to share the spoils.

"Hmph, the Xiliang army behaved like this, no wonder the people in the city didn't dare to show their heads. ”

Sikong Xingxing snorted coldly, but he didn't make a move. The five of them came to Chang'an this time for their own purposes, and the grain was just used as a cover-up. Otherwise, if it was really the people who went to the city to sell grain, how could they just watch the Xiliang army take away their own grain, maybe it would be a quarrel. As a result, it was natural that the weak people died tragically under the sharp blade of the Xiliang army.

"What about the Xiliang Army, we don't have to care about them. Fourth brother, you go to find a suitable house, and then buy it, we will stay here for a while, and it is inconvenient to act without a fixed place to live. ”

"Yes, big brother. ”

Lu Xiaofeng answered and left quickly. Lu Xiaofeng, as a scheming figure among the five, naturally knew what kind of mansion was most suitable for their actions. Therefore, this task was given to him, and it was also the most suitable.

On the way forward, they encountered several waves of patrolling Xiliang troops, and the amount of grain slowly decreased, and there were only five bags left in the end that there was only a cart full of grain.

"Damn, this group of Xiliang Army is really ruthless. ”

Even if he knew what would happen to him, he had personally experienced such a thing, and Sikong Xingxing couldn't help but burst into a foul language. If it were really ordinary people, they might have fought hard with them by now.

Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng returned.

"Big brother, the place has been found. ”

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's words, the five of them pushed the cart to the place Lu Xiaofeng said.

Now the people in Chang'an City are all panicked under Dong Zhuo's control, and they have long thought about leaving. And when Lu Xiaofeng approached the owner of this residence just now and proposed to buy a house, the owner agreed without saying a word, and sold at a low price. The owner of this family has long wanted to sell the house and leave Chang'an. It's just that who is willing to stay in Chang'an now, and the house has not been able to sell until now. Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng had intentions, he was afraid that the price would be too high and scare people away, so he decided to transfer at a low price.

The owner of this house had already secretly transferred his family, and now he and a few domestic servants were left. After receiving Ye Gucheng's money, he didn't want any things, so he packed up some things casually and left quietly. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want things, it's that he can't take them with him. Before, many people in Chang'an wanted to leave, and they all used carriages to transport their family and their belongings away, but they were stopped by the Xiliang army at the city gate and killed on the charge of fine work, and their family was confiscated by the Xiliang army.

The owner of the house didn't take the things away, and it also saved Ye Gucheng a lot of things for the five people, and they could use it directly.

The next day, the five of them dressed up in disguise and dispersed to make preparations.

"Goo, goo, goo..."

Sikong Xingxing was scouting in the mountains and forests near the outside of the city, and when he heard the familiar call, he immediately raised his head and saw his falcon circling. With a whistle, the falcon swooped down to see what it landed on the shoulders of the star.

"Hey, a letter from my lord. ”

Sikong picked up the bamboo tube on the claws of the falcon, saw the content on the paper, released the falcon, and hurried towards the city. When he went to Chang'an at that time, Sikong picked up the stars and left the Falcon behind, just to facilitate communication.

In other directions, Ye Gucheng, Ximen Fuxue, Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou also heard the cry of the Sikong Star Picking Divine Falcon. At the same time, he put down what he was doing and rushed to the residence.

On the other side of the mountain, a general watched the falcon fly away with sharp eyes, and slowly lowered the bow and arrow in his hand.

"General, what's wrong?"

A sergeant with a helmet and armor, three long beards, and a delicate and elegant face asked respectfully. The person standing in front of him wore a three-pronged purple and gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red cotton robe with a hundred flowers on his body, a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, and a delicate lion belt around his waist. The horse under the crotch is extraordinary, and this person is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. And the person who questioned before was the general under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. A man standing next to Zhang Liao, with thick eyebrows and a solemn expression, seemed to be unable to attract his attention to what was happening around him. And he is none other than Gao Shun and Gao Fuyi, the [trapped camp] generals under Lu Bu.

"The others have returned to the barracks, Wenyuan, Fuyi, you two come with me. ”

Lu Bu turned the horse's head and rode away, and the loud voice echoed in the ears of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. The two looked at each other and patted their horses to follow. Lu Bu is the god of war in the army, and no one will be unfaithful to carry out his words. No matter what outsiders say about Lu Bu, their admiration for Lu Bu will not waver in the slightest.

Even if Lu Bu was not there and there was no general to command, these sergeants still returned to the barracks in full appearance.

"Fifth brother, what's the matter with the letter from the lord?"

Returning to his residence, Ye Gucheng took the lead in asking.

Sikong Xingxing handed the note to Ye Gucheng and said, "The lord asked us to find a person named Ma Jun in Youfufeng, this person is of great use to the lord's great cause." ”

"Since the lord has spoken, then..."

Ye Gucheng had just said something halfway through, but he stopped and looked out of the door vigilantly.

Subsequently, the four of Ximen Fuxue, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Sikong Xingxing looked out of the door at the same time. They could feel that there was a very powerful figure outside, not much better than Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

"Squeak!"

The visitor did not knock on the door, nor did he speak, but pushed the door in, as if it was just a very ordinary thing.

The five people in Ye Gucheng and the three people who came in outside the door looked at each other, no one spoke, and Ximen Blowing Snow's hand was already pressed on the sword, and the sword was tense, and it was about to explode.

Ye Gucheng suddenly smiled, took a step forward, and arched his hand: "It turned out that General Lu came to the cold house, but he couldn't welcome him from afar, and he hoped to forgive his sins." ”

Lu Buhu looked directly at Ye Gucheng and carefully looked at the smiling man in front of him. He could see that the other party's body was hidden within the smiling body, which contained a strength that surprised him.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun didn't say a word, silently standing on the left and right sides of Lu Bu, and although the five people on the opposite side were coarse and linen, they looked like peasants. However, their strength, especially the two men with swords, is definitely not inferior to the two.

"Who are you?"

After being silent for a long time, Lu Bu asked lightly. Even though the strength of the five people made his eyes shine, Lu Bu never felt afraid, the blood in his body was boiling, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and roar to fight with the other party.

"In the lonely city of Xiaye, I came to Chang'an on the order of my lord, and my lord wrote a letter before leaving, asking me to hand it over to General Lu. ”

Ye Gucheng said, took out a letter from his arms, and threw it at Lu Bu on the spot. The letter shot like an arrow off the string and shot at Lu Bu.

"Smack!"

Lu Bu's expression remained unchanged, he stretched out his fingers, and the cloud lightly clamped the letter.

"General Lu personally opened, and the younger brother Yuan Chang missed it very much after a long time. The five people that General Lu saw belonged to the younger brother, and I hope that General Lu will not embarrass the five people for Xiu'er's sake, and the younger brother is grateful. If there is a great chaos today, if General Lu wants to challenge the strong, why should he defend Chang'an and not fight in all directions? Another thing to tell me is that when Dong Zhuo dies, he is afraid that Chang'an will be chaotic, and General Lu is brave and invincible, and he is fearless. If General Lu believes it, he can arrange for his family to leave secretly. That's all he said, General Lu don't read it, by the way, Xiu'er is safe with the younger brother, and General Lu doesn't need to worry. ”

"Humph!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly and smashed the letter, the reason why Lu Bu is like this is because the left sentence of Yuan Changxin's Xiu'er and the right sentence Xiu'er, how can it not make Lu Bu angry?

"Wenyuan, Fuyi, let's go. ”

Lu Bu didn't look at the five people in Ye Gucheng, turned around suddenly, and strode away.

"Wen Yuan, Fu Yi, the two of you will lead the [trapping camp] and take your respective families away secretly without delay. ”

"Oh, my subordinates obey!"

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun never questioned Lu Bu's orders.
