Chapter 5 The Idealism of the World 35. The dark situation is gradually spreading

Waiting quietly, but not without nothing.

Duan Xuan, Zhang Feng, and Ling Yuan trained these three children as usual every day.

Wu Zheng focused on strategy, Guo Lan learned more from Zhang Feng's concealed assassination techniques, and Xuan Ji studied various pharmacology with Ling Yuan...... And cooking with her.

Ling Yuan is now more stable than before, and after another blow from her parents, this girl has matured a lot overnight.

Seeing that several children were growing up rapidly with their own talents, Duan Xuan and the three of them were very relieved.

However, tranquility ...... It's always short-lived.

One evening at the end of the month, the child who had been sent to Xiapi to inquire about the news returned.

When they went, they were Wu Zheng and Guo Lan, but there was only one one who came back.

……

"What?!" Duan Xuan rarely lost his composure and asked in a loud voice.

"We didn't expect it to be like this." Guo Lan replied with some grievances.

Just as the two of them were out of town, a little accident happened.

Wu Zheng was arrested.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Liu Bei has always been recruiting troops and expanding the army, and it is impossible for Lu Bu not to take corresponding countermeasures.

It's just that his method is more straightforward - grasping.

Originally, Lu Bu was also preparing to recruit soldiers, but he couldn't give Liu Bei, who had a gold grain depot, the same treatment, and the enthusiasm of the people was insufficient.

However, the army cannot but be expanded, so it can only be forcibly requisitioned.

Lu Bu ordered that those who leave the city today, all those over the age of 16 and under the age of 35 should be detained and confiscated.

Coincidentally, Wu Zheng and Guo Lan, who were unaware, went into the city today to listen to the news.

Therefore, Wu Zheng was detained because he met the standards, and Guo Lan fled from the city because he was young.

"Master Duan, shall we go to save Wu Zheng?" Guo Lan asked in a low voice.

"Hmm......" Duan Xuan thought about it, and just when everyone thought he was going to make a plan, he got a negative answer, "No." ”

"Huh?" Guo Lan and Xuan Ji sounded in surprise at the same time.

"Brother Xuan, what do you want?" Zhang Feng, who already knew Duan Xuan's temperament, asked.

"God help me. This saves us all kinds of inquiries, since Wu Zheng is now in Lu Bu's army, the news should be more well-informed. ”

"You're not afraid of something happening to him?"

"That kid has a heart and knows how to measure. Then I will contact him in two days, so that he will not be discovered. ”

"Brother Xuan, I'm also a little worried." Ling Yuan said.

"How?"

"He went to Hao Meng's army to deliver a letter before, in case someone recognizes him......"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. Now Hao Meng's subordinates are all taken over by Cao Xing, and these people recruited later are not as loyal to Lu Bu as the soldiers of Bingzhou. They only recognize their own commander, they must have a lot of grudge against Cao Xing, how can they help him? ”

"Are you convinced?" Ling Yuan has been with the children for a long time, and there is some maternal care.

"If they are always under the protection of the three of us, when will they grow!" Duan Xuan suddenly said coldly.

Ling Yuan trembled.

The man in front of him, who is over thirty years old, has also changed a lot compared to before.

————————————————

In fact, Ling Yuan's worries are indeed superfluous.

Lu Bujun's factions are now distinct, and the soldiers and horses in Hanoi only recognize Hao Meng, and they almost don't listen to Cao Xing's orders.

Cao Xing, out of guilt for Hao Meng, did not force these people too much, as long as they did not burn and loot, Cao Xuan would not ask for much.

Moreover, Wu Zheng was not assigned to Cao Xing's military camp, but to Song Xian's infantry battalion.

When new recruits join the army, they will only be given simple weapons, and some do not even have simple armor, let alone war horses.

They are trained in an infantry battalion for several months and then redistributed.

Although Wu Zheng had the guidance of Duan Xuan and others, he only learned the art of assassins, and he had no knowledge of the skills and tactics of the regular army.

So, in this boot camp, he is really a blank slate, and his performance is mediocre. But that's good, at least it won't get noticed because it's too eye-catching.

Here, daily life is just rigorous training.

The person who practiced with him in groups was called Meng Qiang, and he was also an ordinary child who was detained in the city because of bad luck, and he was the same age as Wu Zheng.

After a few days of getting along, the relationship between the two became familiar. After Meng Qiang heard about Wu Zheng's life experience, he was also very sympathetic, and they also had reservations when they were training on weekdays.

……

This was the sixth day of Wu Zheng's arrest.

After the inhuman training, it was finally time to eat.

Although the food is very simple, just a bowl of porridge and a dry food, but under such harsh conditions, it is strangely sweet.

The two of them didn't feel anything, after all, they were all children of poor people's families, and even these were what they couldn't eat before.

"Xiao Wu, you say, when will they let us go to war?" Meng Qiang asked while drinking porridge.

"What? Do you still want to fight? ”

"The hell just thinks! But it's a matter of time. ”

"I don't want to, a recruit like you and me, if you really fight, you must be at the forefront, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to survive."

Hearing this, Meng Qiang put down the bowl that was brought to his mouth again, "You said you want to ......?"

"You'd better dismiss that. Xuzhou is all his Lu Bu's, and we can't escape at all. ”

Of course, this is talking about him Meng Qiang, and Wu Zheng himself is not worried.

Practicing strategy and the way of assassination has given him a lot of knowledge about hiding.

"Yes...... If this continues, it will be a death sooner or later. ”

"You didn't want to be a general?"

"Huh? Forget it, do you think I look like? Meng Qiang waved his hand.

"Do you know that Lu Bu was just a master of Ding Yuan's account at the beginning? How could he have imagined that he could become the lord of a state? ”

"People are strong in martial arts, so it goes without saying."

"Then you and I will double our training from tomorrow!"

Meng Qiang was taken by Wu Zheng's words, and suddenly became energetic, drank the porridge in a big gulp, and promised to say "okay" with a wipe of his mouth.

How did he know that Wu Zhengcai didn't have this idea.

Wu Zheng was thinking about how to escape. Those words just now were just to give Meng Qiang some hope, otherwise he would be so low all day long, and if he really went to the battlefield, he would only be sent to death.

……

The camp where the recruits slept was in poor condition, and the so-called beds were nothing more than thatched grass on the ground.

Wu Zheng turned back and forth, thinking about how to get out.

The constant snoring in the tent made him even more upset.

Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Zheng got up and went out of the tent, ready to make it easier.

Suddenly, he heard three birdsongs.

His nerves tensed instantly, because this was the code that Duan Xuan had agreed on.

Three more times, Wu Zheng determined the direction.

Now the soldiers on duty at night are also a little tired, and they kowtow to Changge one by one.

Wu Zheng lightly came to the fence on the edge of the camp, and responded with three small birdsongs.

Zhang Feng's figure appeared from the darkness.

"Zhang ......" Wu Zheng just wanted to scream, but he realized that his voice was loud and hurriedly stopped it.

"Boy, looks like you're doing pretty well here." Zhang Feng mocked quietly.

"Master Zhang, don't make fun of me. You're here to get me out? Wu Zheng also asked in a low voice.

"No, it was you, Master Duan, who asked me to inform you and stay in Lu Bu's army."

"Huh?" Wu Zheng's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.

"I'll come to you every few days, you just have to pay attention to what happens on Lu Bu's side."

"But ......" Wu Zheng's face was full of grievances.

Why! You're all out there, and I'm here to suffer!

Of course, he didn't dare to say these things to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng's heart was more annoyed than him at this time.

Just because Zhang Feng's concealment technique was stronger than others, he was "lucky" to take on the responsibility of delivering news.

In Duan Xuan's words, the children are not skilled, the little mandarin road idiot, I am old again, so I have to bother Zhang Yishi.

Bah! Are you old in your early thirties? Zhang Feng cursed Duan Xuan from the bottom of his heart that he would not live to be forty.

It's okay if it's just that, the key is the disguise he made in order to get into the city.

In order not to be recognized, the face was smeared with a small amount of poison by Ling Yuan, and it was completely puffy; And in order to make the broken arm too noticeable, Duan Xuan carved a prosthetic leg for him with a piece of wood, of course, the hand still needs to be covered.

In this way, he mixed into the city with the rest of the people.

Recalling his tragic experience today, Zhang Feng gritted his teeth.

"I'm glad it didn't scare you."

"I guess it might be Sister Mandarin's hands and feet."

It seems that Duan Xuan is not wrong, this kid is really careful.

"Alright, I've said what I have to say, you can ask for more blessings." Throwing down a sentence, Zhang Feng disappeared into the shadows again.

Wu Zheng sighed, he knew the temper of this one-armed master, so naturally he didn't expect him to say anything touching and reluctant.

Reluctantly loosened his pants for a while, and Wu Zheng returned to the camp tent.

It's just that he can't sleep anymore.

……

Zhang Feng can't get out now, the city gate is closed, and he has to wait until the next day to open the door before leaving.

When he had nothing to do, he hid in the alleys.

Just sat down and was about to take a nap, suddenly, Zhang Feng was alert to find that there were other people in this alley.

On the ground, not far from him, lay a woman.

Zhang Feng leaned over cautiously. Originally, he didn't want to do much on this trip, but it seemed that this girl should be drunk, and Zhang Feng's heart was inexplicably a little curious.

"Master......" Zhang Feng heard the woman's whisper, so he leaned closer, but only smelled the smell of wine on her body.

Whose girl is this, so indecent.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

With his past, he is really not qualified to criticize others.

It's just a drunken man, and he has too much to do.

Zhang Feng was about to get up and leave when he suddenly heard the woman say, "Yefeng......"

He turned abruptly, rushed up and brushed the woman's hair away, taking a closer look.

"Whispering?"

This woman turned out to be the pro-apprentice of Yeshuai Yuliu, Yuyin.

After Yuliu's death, her two relatives and disciples have no news, how can they appear in this Xiapi City?

With doubts, Zhang Feng helped her to the wall, hesitated, and finally, slapped her in the face.

It did sober her up a bit.

was suddenly beaten like this, and Yu Yin was about to open his mouth to scold, but he was surprised to find that the person in front of him turned out to be Zhang Feng.

"Is that you?"

……

Even though the flames of the night front had been extinguished, and the sparks were sparked, they were still gathered in one place.
