Chapter Sixty-Nine: Righteous Harvest of Zhoucang

The rivers do not wash away the hatred of the past and the present, and heaven and earth can know loyalty and righteousness. ----Southern song dynasty. Lu You "The King Pays the Doctor"

It is said that Chen Long and Zhao Yun, in order to repay the kindness of the wolf king, fought with the tiger king on Baishi Mountain, and finally took advantage of the narrow mountain top to win by luck, and dressed the tiger king into a string of tiger meat skewers. Zhao Yun saw that the tiger skin was colorful, and remembered the promise of sending Tong Feifei to the tiger skin, squatted down and began to peel the beautiful fur of the Tiger King with a green dragon dagger.

Chen Long pulled out the gentian bright silver spear from the head of the tiger king, slowly wiped it with his sleeve, and mourned in his heart for this generation of tiger kings. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he saw a pack of wolves staring at him, surrounding the two of them. Zhao Yun also sensed that something was wrong, stood up and put the Qinglong dagger across his chest and said, "Lord, what do these wolves mean?" ”

"Hmph, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking. The wolf king unifies the White Stone Secret Realm, how can we allow the two of us to swagger here stronger than it? ”

Zhao Yun was shocked: "Could this be the Emperor's Mind Technique?" ”

Chen Long raised his hands and shouted, "Wolf King! I have no intention of competing with you, so I'll leave. Please remember that we have fought side by side, and let us both leave with guns and never set foot in this place, okay! ”

The wolf king emerged from behind the wolves, and his cold eyes looked at Chen Long and the others with a hint of coldness. Suddenly there was a scream, and the wolves retreated when they heard the sound, and the wolf king disappeared without a trace. Zhao Yun wiped his cold sweat and said, "It seems that this is a warning to us." ”

The two of them didn't even have time to pack up the tiger skin, so they turned around and went straight to the grassy slope where the horses were raised. One day of war, the sun is about to set, the grass slope is quiet, where is Tong Feifei and the three horses?

Zhao Yun and Chen Long were both shocked, and Zhao Yun hurriedly said, "Could it be that the Wolf King hijacked Feifei?" ”

Chen Long carefully surveyed the scene, shook his head and said, "There is not even a wolf paw mark here, it is definitely not the wolf king." You see that the guardrail was shattered by weapons, there were traces of a fight in the shack, and Feifei was hijacked. ”

Zhao Yun was originally a civil and military all-rounder, so he calmed down at this time, carefully observed the horse's hoof prints, traced all the way over, and sure enough, he saw fresh horse manure along the road. Zhao Yundao: "It seems that it has just been hijacked. Let's rescue overnight, Feifei should be fine. ”

Chen Long knew that Zhao Yun was worried that when the night came, Tong Feifei would be insulted by the robbers, so he hurriedly carried out light work and tracked down the horse's hoof prints. It was getting dark, and they came to a hill, a forest on the side of the mountain, and saw that the horseshoe prints were hidden in the forest, and the two tiptoed into the forest.

The forest has been extended, the terrain is high, Chen Long thought that the spear was too long, affecting the action in the dense forest, so Zhao Yun held the gun, and he used the green dragon dagger to take the lead in running to the top of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountainside forest, the light of the bonfire flashed, Chen Long hid his figure, and saw a few people who looked like minions, sitting around a fire, barbecuing and drinking there, shouting five and drinking.

Chen Long saw that there were a large number of people, and it was difficult to wipe them all in one fell swoop, and he was about to make a detour, Zhao Yun did not hesitate to make a move, and with a vertical leap, the silver spear led Zhao Yun to sweep the throat of a big man first, and then stabbed into the lower abdomen of another big man. Chen Long hurriedly followed, and several big men died instantly, only the big man who was shot in the lower abdomen let out a miserable scream, which was very harsh in the night. Chen Long grabbed his throat and asked, "Tell me where are the women and horses that were hijacked today?" Spare you from dying! ”

The big man covered his lower abdomen, the pain was unbearable, panting and pointed to the top of the mountain: "There is a small village on the top of the mountain, and the village will ...... with women at night."

Zhao Yun had already rushed towards the top of the mountain, and Chen Long threw a bottle of wound medicine at the big man, and quickly chased after Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was anxious, and when he heard the gate of the village open, and then the sound of horses' hooves sounded like raindrops, he knew that the screams of the big man had alarmed the minions in the village. At that moment, the steel spear was collared behind him, not dodging or dodging, colliding with the group of thieves and horses, the gentian bright silver spear was like lightning and thunder, and the little white dragon danced, only listening to the sound of puff and puff, and a large group of minions were all accountable.

When Chen Long arrived, he saw that there were dead people all over the ground, and he knew that Zhao Yun was really angry. The two of them killed at the gate of the village, and the arrows shot like rain, Zhao Yun danced the steel gun and rushed forward, pushing away the arrows, the two jumped up, flew directly over the village, and fell on the archers.

This caused a great confusion, and the archers fled. A young general rode out on a yellow horse, danced a steel spear, and went straight to Zhao Yun to kill. Zhao Yun rose to his might, jumped into the sky, and stabbed the young general's left chest like lightning with a shot, directly picking up the fly and snatching his horse. The two were killing the minions when a rough voice sounded: "Two good men, stop!" ”

Chen Long turned his head and saw a big black man, tall, with knotted muscles, thick cheeks, and a full beard, hurrying from the light of the torches, ordering his subordinates to stop, and arching his hands to Chen Long and Zhao Yun: "Two good men, stop!" My eldest brother mistakenly intercepted the hero's friend and horse into the cottage today, and he has been killed by this little brother. I saw that the two martial arts were strong and willing to surrender, and the noble friend was safe and sound, so I asked the two noble hands to let me go. Then he fell to his knees and surrendered.

When the minions saw this, they threw down their weapons one after another. Chen Long asked, "You take us personally, go and see my friend first." The big black man hurriedly stood up, led the way, and saw Tong Feifei who had fainted in a bedroom.

Zhao Yun hurriedly rescued, Tong Feifei woke up after a while, saw that it was Zhao Yun, threw himself into his arms and cried. Zhao Yun hurriedly persuaded him, saying that he had stabbed the kidnapper to death, and Tong Feifei slowly stopped crying. Zhao Yun pointed at the black man and said, "Has this guy ever bullied you?" ”

The big black man was startled, and without waiting for Tong Feifei to speak, he knelt down and said: "Good man, although my Zhou Cang is vulgar, I will not do anything to take advantage of people's danger, it is Pei Yuanshao who saw the beauty of this girl and insisted on kidnapping the girl, and now he is dead under the gun." Tong Feifei said: "What he said is indeed the truth. ”

Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Long became interested, it turned out that this group of mountain bandits was the yellow scarves that had been scattered, and the name Zhou Cang was also famous, just carrying a knife for Guan Yu, which was overkill. Unexpectedly, although history has long been rewritten, Pei Yuanshao still died under Zhao Yun's gun.

Thinking of this, Long Chen changed his smile and said, "It turned out to be Zhou Cang." I'm sure you have no ill intentions, but can you spare a few bedrooms and we can spend the night here? Zhou Cang hurriedly took the order.

After Zhao Yun saw Zhou Cang leave, he wondered why Long Chen was so polite, and asked, "Lord, why do you trust this person so much?" ”

Chen Long said nonsense: "My master in the mountains taught me to look at physiognomy. I think this man is very loyal, and of course he can be trusted. If you don't worry, let Feifei rest first, and you and I take turns to keep vigil, how about it? "Actually, Zhou Cang was met by Guan Yu, and he was as loyal and righteous as the second master, and he passed it on to future generations, so he could naturally be trusted.

Zhao Yun nodded and agreed, and the two took turns to wait until dawn, Zhou Cang didn't sleep all night, gossiping with the two, quite a follow. Of course, Zhao Yun only looked forward to Chen Long, and Chen Long smiled and said: "Zhou Cang, I want to send my family to Lingling in a few days, and I need a coachman, are you willing?" That Zhou Cang saw that Chen Long was willing to accept it, and said with great joy: "In the future, Brother Chen will be my master, let me do whatever I want." Early the next morning, all the minions were willing to follow Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang knew that these people were good and bad, and he wanted not to bring any of them, Chen Long said: "If you still want to be a bandit, Zhou Cang will never take you to follow me today." If you are willing to be a decent soldier in the future, you can swear before me that you will never bully the people. As he spoke, he took a steel knife, used a slight force, folded the steel knife in two sections, and said, "If anyone breaks his oath, I will kill him with my own hands." ”

When the minions saw him in his hand, they broke the steel knife, and they were all shocked. Half of them knelt down and swore an oath, and half of them dispersed. Chen Long asked the person who made the oath to pack up and go to Zhaojiazhuang to find Zhao Ya to report. Fighting with Zhao Yun, Tong Feifei, and Zhou Cang, they went straight to Zhending.

Chen Long missed Liu Qian and Zhen Mi, said goodbye to Zhao Yun on the way, ignored Tong Feifei's dissatisfied gaze, and took Zhou Cang straight to the county seat. Seeing Liu Qian and Zhen Mi, he was naturally overjoyed, and when he saw that Long Chen got the divine soldier, he was very happy for Long Chen. Chen Long introduced Zhou Cang and said: "Zhou Cang is strong in martial arts and loyal in character, I specially invited him to drive a carriage to Lingling for his wife and young lady. Liu Qian ordered the servant to clean up a bedroom, asked Zhou Cang to live temporarily, and asked Zhen Mi to pack up. Chen Long revealed his identity as Lingling Taishou to Zhou Cang, and after that, Zhou Cang recognized Chen Long as the main prince and did not mention it.

After arranging Zhoucang, Chen Long hurriedly returned to Zhaojiazhuang. It was nearly dusk, as soon as Chen Longfu entered the entrance of the village, he saw a person probing his brain, it was Gao Lan. Chen Long was overjoyed and said, "Where is Yuan Zhi?" ”

Gao Ran led Chen Long to Yuanzhi's residence, that Xiao Zhou was chewing steamed buns with a mouthful of doubt, and when he saw Chen Long coming, he hurriedly took three sips and swallowed two mouthfuls, and reported: "Lord, the situation is not good." ”

Chen Long's brows furrowed, what he was most worried about at the moment was that Zhang Ning was unable to return to the sky and was accidentally injured by the imperial court's military horses. Zhou Budo continued: "Don't worry about the safety of the housemother, you have the protection of Lu Chang and others. It's just that your father-in-law, who is sick, is getting sicker, and I'm afraid he will die soon. The housewife was worried and depressed every day, and hoped that the lord would go to see her as soon as possible. ”

Long Chen nodded slightly and asked, "How is the battle going?" ”

"Dong Zhuo's crusade against Zhang Bao was ineffective, and he was recalled by the imperial court to ask for guilt, so there was no war in Guangzong for the time being. But a few days ago, Zhang Jiao sent Bu Si and Gong Du to lead the troops, galloping to the aid of Runan Bocai, just crossed the Yellow River from the plain, just met the army of Huangfu Song, was surrounded and annihilated by the army, defeated and returned, killed more than 7,000 people, Bu Si died in battle, Gong did not know where to go. ”

Chen Long was shocked and said, "Could it be that Huangfu Song's troops have been transferred to the northern front?" ”

Zhou Budo said: "Exactly." I heard that the imperial court let Huangfu Song win the army, continue to cross the Yellow River in the north, and will arrive in Puyang in the near future. The war in Guangzong was about to break out, and it was a two-sided battle, which was very unfavorable. ”

Chen Long became worried when he heard this, and said to Zhou Budo and Gao Ran: "You two quickly prepare your bags, tomorrow I will say goodbye to the master, and after arranging everything, I will immediately set off for Guangzong." ”

Chen Long originally wanted to personally escort Liu Qian and Zhen Mi to Lingling, but it seemed that he still needed to go to Guangzong to rescue Zhang Ning first. Chen Long returned to Tong Yuan's house, and after seeing the master, he called out Zhao Yun alone: "Zilong, I have been studying art for a long time, and now I have something important to do, and I want to say goodbye to the master tomorrow." There's something else that belongs to you. I want you and Zhou Cang to escort Zhen Mi and her grandmother to Lingling, are you willing? ”

Zhao Yun bowed down and said: "The lord's order is a military order." How dare the clouds disobey? Jian frowned slightly.

Chen Long is a little at ease, and with Zhao Yun here, Liu Qian and Zhen Mi can be guaranteed to have no worries all the way. Seeing Zhao Yun frowning, Long Chen knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Zilong, senior sister, you can ask for advice." You two are in love with each other, and they are a natural pair, why not go to Lingling? Master, I'd like to talk about it. ”

Zhao Yunjun's face flushed, and Nuo Nuo agreed. That night, Chen Long said goodbye to his master and told him about Zhao Yun and Feifei, Tong Yuan actually had a premonition in his heart, but he was reluctant to give up this daughter. Chen Long said simply: "Master, let's go, you have nothing to do, why don't you go to Lingling for a walk." When you get tired of staying in the future, I'll send you back. Tong Yuan was hesitating, and suddenly Tong Feifei broke in and said, "Senior Brother Long, Senior Brother Yun said that he was about to send Miss Zhen back to Lingling, and asked me if I would go with him, and I have agreed." But I didn't go for him, I just wanted to go shopping. Dad, you go with me to relax. With that, he stared at Long Chen with wide eyes.

Chen Long saw that Tong Feifei refused to admit that he liked Zhao Yun, but since he was willing to go, this confused account would be settled later. He said happily at the moment: "That's great, senior sister, you will pack up for the master tomorrow." "The arrangement has been decided, since everyone is going, Chen Long instructed Zhao Yun to bring his brother Zhao Ya and enter Zhending City to pick up people tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yun hung up the rainstorm pear flower gun and rode a white horse, and Chen Long hung up the gentian bright silver gun, rode a yellow horse, and went to Zhaojiazhuang to pick up Zhao Ya. Zhao Ya shook his head and said: "I still have a lot of righteousness here, and I can't bear to abandon them immediately." When my younger brother arrives in Lingling and the arrangements are made, I will naturally take these righteousness and never vote. Seeing that he was resolute, Long Chen was not reluctant, and said to Zhao Ya: "Brother Zhao, there will be a series of wars in Jizhou in the future, cherish it!" ”

Zhao Yun and his brother said goodbye, two peerless heroes, riding horses together, raising steel guns together, and running towards the vast unknown future.
