In the vicinity of Xiapi, Duan Xuan and the others found a small village to settle down.

Due to the chaos of the world, there are now vacant houses in many of these villages.

The reason is that the owner moved away to take refuge.

It's tempting to come into contact with people, but it's okay, as a small village in the mountains, with only a dozen households, has little contact with the outside world.

A path leading to the outside crosses the village, which is also the reason why Duan Xuan and the others chose this place - neither too open but also not too far out.

According to the previous arrangement, in the afternoon, Yuyin went to Xiapi, and he had not been in contact with Wu Zheng for a few days, and Duan Xuan was somewhat worried.

And Zhang Feng, who was still a little proud when Yu Yin left, was also walking on the road full of resentment at this time.

Duan Xuan asked him to go through Yu County, and then go to Huailing, trying to find out whether Yuan Shu had taken action or not.

Truth be told, it's a chore.

Pantang is not rich, that is to say, except for a few days in the city, Zhang Feng has to find a way to find food by himself.

Fortunately, there was a difficult time before, and Zhang Feng was somewhat experienced.

Thinking back to his current situation, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, this was completely self-inflicted.

Duan Xuan wanted to form this assassin army, so he got rid of Lu Bu in exchange, but now he is running errands for Duan Xuan.

Eating the fruit used to satisfy hunger, Zhang Feng wanted to leave.

However, the empty sleeve on the right calmed him down.

Revenge must be avenged.

The relationship between himself and Lu Bu is too deep, no matter what, it can't be just counted.

Because Zhang Feng suddenly realized that he had no goal other than killing Lu Bu.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, leaned over and scooped up his hand in the stream and drank two sips.

……

Although Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, he did not have any surplus troops to distribute in the counties, so the troops stationed in Xuxian were still the original Xu troops.

No one knew Zhang Feng here, and the city guard only thought he was an ordinary cripple, and let him in without asking.

Although Zhang Feng didn't have much entanglement on his body, he still came to a wine shop.

Just eat a small dish, Zhang Feng mainly wants to drink two sips of wine.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a shouting from upstairs.

"Get out! Don't listen to good words! It disturbed the interest of my lord. A domineering voice came.

Immediately afterward, a man was pushed down the stairs from the second floor, rolled several times and hit the handrail.

The man was obviously a drunkard, and it took a long time for him to finally stand up, but his feet were still shaking.

"Whatever bastards are put in!" The domineering man was obviously a descendant of a big family, and he chased down and cursed.

This is just a small episode for Zhang Feng, after all, people who have no status are bullied everywhere.

He continued to drink alone, contemplating the rest of the journey.

But to Zhang Feng's surprise, the drunk man actually came to his table and sat down, and grabbed the wine jug and drank two sips.

The thing itself is not amazing, what makes Zhang Feng nervous is that he has already reached out and pressed it, but the drunkard's speed is faster than him!

Zhang Feng instinctively pressed the chain blade hidden in his chest with his hand, staring at the drunk with alarm.

Half of his face was obscured by his stray hair, making it difficult to see his face.

Zhang Feng didn't speak, just looked at him like this.

The drunkard was probably still somewhat sober, knowing that he was drinking someone else's wine, but the master did not blame, so he stroked his hair with his hand and looked at Zhang Feng with squinted eyes.

Zhang Feng was even more surprised this time, is it such a coincidence that things in the world are happening? This drunkard is the jade tapir that is already a waste in the mouth of the voice.

However, this is too far from the dignified jade tapir in Zhang Feng's memory, and now his outfit is no different from that of a beggar.

A young man who was less than twenty looked to be in his thirties at this time, and no one doubted that he was older than Duan Xuan.

Not only is the dress down, but the hair of the jade tapir is already half white.

Yu Liu was only fourteen years old when he gave birth to him, so now Yu Tapir is actually only eighteen years old.

At the age of eighteen, he was already white-headed, which shows that Yuliu's death hit him too hard.

Looking at him, Zhang Feng seemed to see his former self.

It's just that for him, the people who have lost are more important.

Zhang Feng's hand slid slightly, touched the coil he had left, and said to the shopkeeper: "Another pot of wine." ”

There were people eating around who couldn't help but sneak a glance here, after all, in their opinion, Zhang Feng was also a little strange.

I was robbed of wine by this drunk, and I was not even angry.

……

Just unconsciously, an afternoon passed.

The jade tapir had already fallen asleep on the table drunk, and the other guests who had eaten had left.

Of course, this also includes the big household that drove the jade tapir down.

Surrounded by several subordinates, he staggered downstairs with his fat body, and when he passed by the jade tapir, he and his subordinates glared at him with disdain.

Zhang Feng rarely didn't look back, but that doesn't mean there's nothing.

Zhang Feng wrapped the last plate to the shopkeeper, told him not to wake up his friend, and followed the big man out of the door.

Don't expect Zhang Feng to have any sense of justice or care for the common people.

Now those who were in front of him seemed to him to be just wicked men who had bullied their fellow soldiers.

What's more, they have the money they need.

Therefore, when this group of people turned into the alley unsuspectingly, Zhang Feng made a move.

Dealing with this kind of opponent who has no kung fu and can only bully others, Zhang Feng didn't even have the heart to tease, just a few simple strokes, and they all slit their throats.

Zhang Feng quickly searched for the money on their bodies, and wiped the blood stains of the chainblade dagger again.

This is the only blood stain that needs to be cleaned up. In order not to cause too much trouble, when Zhang Feng killed them, he quickly moved behind them before making a move, so there was not a drop of blood splashed on his body.

He deliberately went around in a circle before he returned to his previous liquor store.

Before the jade tapir woke up, Zhang Feng ordered another pot of wine and drank it alone, after all, there was no need to worry about it now.

……

When Jade Tapir really woke up with a headache, Zhang Feng opposite him was eating dinner, and there were another group of guests in the wine shop.

Some people talked to each other, "Did you hear that? There are bandits in the city! The old man of the Tian family and a few subordinates were all killed in the afternoon, in the alley not far from here! ”

"Why did this good guy come in and robber? Besides, how do you know it's a bandit? ”

"Do you need to ask? The belongings of Master Tian and his subordinates are all gone, isn't this just murder for money! ”

"Can the government catch the culprit?"

"Hey! What are you going to catch, just those errand boys in our county, I really saw the bandits, and it was too late to run. ”

"Alas, whoever made the eldest master of the Tian family usually so domineering, this is retribution."

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, if you are listened to by the people in the government, you should not be the culprit and arrest you! ”

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, drink."

Zhang Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, not wanting to kill the right person today.

Just as he was listening to the gossip, the jade tapir with his hand pinching his forehead spoke, "How did you get here?" ”

Only then did Zhang Feng withdraw his attention and look at the jade tapir.

Even if he looks down, those eyes are still the same as they were at the beginning.

That's a long story. If you're hungry, eat something first. With that, Zhang Feng sent the chopsticks to the jade tapir.

Seeing that he was also unceremoniously gulping, Zhang Feng continued: "I heard about you before, and I still have some doubts. Now it seems that it should be true. Are you like that all day now? ”

Jade Tapir put down her chopsticks, and her eyes became a little empty again, "I don't want to mention the past." I think you should know this feeling as well. ”

The smile on Zhang Feng's face also faded, indeed, as he said, there are some things that really can't be recalled.

"And how do you support yourself?"

"It's just that the night front in the city has some business, and I occasionally go to help, and everyone takes care of it, and I don't starve to death on weekdays."

"Do you want to come with me?"

"Let's go? Hehe, where can you go. The master is dead, the main hall is destroyed, and I am no longer Yefeng. ”

"Alas...... To tell you the truth, in fact, a few days ago, I encountered a faint sound. ”

"Oh." The jade tapir is not surprised.

"The fire of the night edge has not been extinguished, but it is actually ......"

……

Zhang Feng told the jade tapir about the current situation of himself and Duan Xuan and the others, but the jade tapir was still expressionless.

"Well, I'll stay in the city for two more days. Two days later, if you wish, go south with me. ”

After speaking, Zhang Feng got up and checked out and left.

————————————————

The encounter between Zhang Feng and Jade Tapir is just a corner of the troubled times.

But at this time, some people are deliberating on countermeasures for the sake of the big picture.

Xuzhou, Xiaopei.

It's also a wine shop, but the people who meet here think about things more far-reaching than Zhang Feng and Jade Tapir.

Zhao Yun, who hadn't shown up for a long time, took the initiative to contact Mi Zhu and Zhang Fei.

The three of them habitually sat on the second floor of the liquor store, and also habitually ordered a pot of wine but did not move.

"Brother Zilong, there has been no news since the last time I left, I don't know what is going on?" Zhang Fei asked with a smile.

"Instead of asking me, let's ask General Liu."

"Zilong, when will your temper change?" Mi Zhu shook his head and sighed.

"Hehe, what do you mean by Brother Zilong?"

"Lu Bu escorted Han Yin to Xu County to the Son of Heaven, presumably you already knew."

"Not bad."

This move will inevitably make Yuan Shu furious, thinking that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu will soon move their troops. I wonder what General Liu's plans are? ”

"What does Zilong mean?" Mi Zhu asked.

"Since Lu Bu was able to capture Xuzhou when General Liu and Yuan Shu fought before, why didn't General Liu follow suit and take it back this time?"

"Heh, Brother Zilong is really high-minded. Just ......"

"Just how?"

"On the one hand, my eldest brother's infantry is far from the combat strength of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, and he may not be able to succeed; Both, Lu Bu's own strategy, how could he be unprepared; Of the three, although Lu Bu seized the prefecture and county, he was still benevolent to the people, and he used troops in vain, which was just to make the people suffer again. ”

Hearing Zhang Fei say this, Zhao Yun actually showed a relieved expression, "That is the case, then it is Yun Duoyan." Now that the words of the three generals have come to this, Nayun has nothing else to do, and he will take his leave first. ”

"Zilong ......" Mi Zhu wanted to stop him, but Zhao Yun ignored it and went straight downstairs.

"Yide, Zilong's plan may not be impossible, why do you refuse?"

"Hehe, Zizhong, I'm afraid that this time, you really didn't understand what he meant." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"What?"

"If I agree, then the next thing he will do is to assassinate my eldest brother."

"You mean......" Mi Zhu suddenly understood, "Zilong is here to tempt?" ”

He once said that what he asked for was only peace in Xuzhou. If we wait for Lu Bu to take advantage of the war, he will not agree. ”

"Actually, when I saw his talented expression, I had a trace of suspicion, but Xuzhou was seized by Lu Bu, and he was unwilling to do so."

"There's no rush either. He made a gesture to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was able to plan his plan, so we just sat on the mountain and watched Lu Bu and Yuan Shu fight. ”
