Chapter 172: Discord (4)
Xiakou, east of the city.
This is the most prosperous place in the city, with many shops and people coming and going.
Many people are in front of the shop, spitting and bargaining with the boss, for the small profit.
Not far from this lively street market, there is a small courtyard.
The courtyard is very simple, without any decoration, and it is very inconspicuous in this large area of houses.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked on the street, he seemed to have injuries on his body, holding a wooden stick, and limped towards the small courtyard.
Gently opened the copper lock on the gate and pushed open the courtyard door.
With a "squeak", the courtyard door was opened, and a lot of dust fell on it.
It seems that no one has been to this small courtyard for a long time.
The middle-aged man closed the door casually, locked the door again from the inside, and walked slowly towards the wooden house in the courtyard.
The short distance seemed to have exhausted his strength, and he leaned on the door of the house for a long time.
After a few moments, he walked into the house with a stick.
When he closed the door, he also looked carefully outside the courtyard door to make sure that no one was following him, and then turned and walked inside.
There are only a few simple furnishings in the wooden houses, and without exception, they are covered with a thin layer of ash.
The middle-aged man limped to the table in the room.
Putting down the stick in his hand, he forcefully moved the table away, revealing the wooden floor underneath.
With a deep exhale, the middle-aged man knelt on the ground and carefully groped for the ground with his hands.
After a moment, his gaze froze, and his hands moved slightly, and he lifted them up with force.
A large plank was lifted alive, revealing a hole that could only accommodate one person, revealing a deep passage inside.
Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged man walked down the hole.
In the dark, the middle-aged man fumbled and lit the oil lamp on the wall.
With the dim light of the fire, it illuminated the surroundings.
This is a small secret room, and at this moment, the middle-aged man is standing in the corner of the secret room.
In front of him, there were many spiritual positions densely placed, covering almost the entire wall.
Through the faint flickering firelight, it can be vaguely seen that the names on these spiritual thrones are all surnamed "Wang" without exception
The moment the middle-aged man saw these spiritual positions, his body trembled, and his eyes were full of tears.
Slowly walked to the futon placed in front of the spiritual seat, and there were two deep depressions on the futon, indicating that people came to kneel and worship all year round.
"The ancestors of the royal family, all the undead! Unfilial son Wang Rui came to worship! The middle-aged man knelt on the futon and said with tears in his eyes.
This person is Wang Rui, who was beaten by Guan Yu with twenty military sticks.
After speaking, he kowtowed to many spiritual positions.
The small secret room was unusually quiet, and only Wang Rui's low sobs could be heard, as well as the sound of "crackling" burning on the wall.
Suddenly, Wang Rui's eyes flashed and he got up suddenly.
Just now, he heard an unusual sound coming from above.
He quickly took out a short sword from his body and blew out the oil lamp on the wall as soon as possible.
The secret room instantly darkened, and taking advantage of the darkness, Wang Rui held the short sword and came to the entrance, looking up with bated breath.
With a "squeak", Wang Rui clearly felt that someone pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked in.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Wang Rui's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his right hand tightly grasped the short sword.
Suddenly, a figure shook from the entrance, and Wang Rui was shocked!
"Big brother! I know you're here, it's my king! ”
A familiar voice came from above, and Wang Rui let out a long breath.
It was only then that he realized that in a short period of time, his palms were full of sweat.
Lighting the oil lamp on the wall again, Wang Rui stood quietly in place.
A moment later, the figure swayed, and Wang Wu appeared in the secret room.
"Big brother!" When Wang Wu saw Wang Rui, he bowed deeply.
"How did you get back?" Wang Rui helped the other party up and said in surprise.
"It's a long story!" Wang Wu took a deep breath, looked at the dense spiritual position on the wall, his eyes instantly moistened, and he said in a low voice.
"That Zhou Yi and I surrendered to Jingzhou, and that Xu Tian asked us to go back to Guan Yu and be his inside line!
Now I am the quartermaster appointed by Guan Yu, so I took advantage of the grain transportation and returned here!
As soon as I saw that you weren't in the barracks, I knew you must be here!
Big brother, our chance has come, and the opportunity to avenge the whole clan has arrived! ”
Wang Wuyue said that the more excited he became, and his hands were tightly clasped together.
"Yes! The opportunity has come..."Wang Rui squinted his eyes and limped to Wang Wu's side.
With tears in their eyes, in front of these many spiritual positions, the two hugged their heads and cried...
…
Besides, Guan Yu, after winning that night, quickly evacuated.
Just when he walked a few miles, he met Zhang Fei, who came to answer.
It was only at this time that Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the two led the army back to the camp as fast as possible.
"Second brother!" As soon as Zhang Fei arrived at the barracks, he laughed and laughed. "This battle was fought beautifully!
Not only robbed them of their things, but also killed all their people! Joyfully! Joyfully! ”
Guan Yu also smiled and nodded.
It's just that for some reason, there is always a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
Zhang Fei, who has always been arrogant, seemed to see that something was wrong with Guan Yu.
After turning over and dismounting, he came to Guan Yu's side and said in a low voice. "Why is the second brother worried?"
Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei in surprise, his third brother, who had always been reckless, was so delicate today.
"I always feel that this operation is too smooth, and it seems that something is wrong!"
"Oops! Second brother! You're just thinking too much! Zhang Fei sighed and waved his hand. In fact, that Xu Tian is not your brother's opponent at all, but he can carve insects.
Once these are gone, it will not be easy to kill him, and the second brother is too worried! ”
While he was talking, the lieutenant who was in charge of escorting the ice cubes trotted all the way to the two of them and bowed down.
"Two generals, the ice has been brought back. It's just that the consumption along the way is terrible, and the two generals are asked to decide how to deal with it! ”
"What are you going to do with this, let the brothers divide it!" Zhang Fei said disdainfully.
"I still want to give some to Lu Meng!" Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said softly.
As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately understood what Guan Yu meant.
"Then give them some!" Zhang Fei said with a big grin.
After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Guan Yu, rolled his eyes, smiled and continued to speak. "Give more than half! Let that kid know who is the best! ”
But after a while, Zhang Fei's face sank slightly, and he found that the deputy general did not move at all.
Just as he was glaring and about to scold, the lieutenant hesitated.
"The ice cubes are divided into two categories, one is good color and beautifully made.
There is also a kind of impurity, and it is basically crushed ice.
How this is distributed, please show the general! ”
"Damn, you still need to ask, of course give them that impurity!" Zhang Fei slapped the lieutenant general hard, glared and said.
The adjutant nodded hurriedly, turned around and fled.
Guan Yu smiled bitterly, looked at Zhang Fei, turned around and walked into the big tent.
Zhang Fei's eyes rolled and he caught up with the adjutant at a very fast speed.
"Go! Ask someone to collect some dry horse manure for me, the more the better! ”
Zhang Fei grabbed the trembling adjutant and said with a smile...
