In a mountain forest outside Pingyu City, Xiahou Lan rode his horse, carrying a spear, and his face was serious in the cold wind.

Xia Houlan met Pan Feng and Han Lie in Jizhou, and after knowing what happened to Pan Feng and Han Lie, Xia Houlan was determined to protect Pan Feng and Han Lie from danger. When they arrived in Yingchuan, Xiahou Lan just wanted to leave, but after that, Pan Feng and Han Lie felt that Yingchuan was not very safe and wanted to go south to Nanyang, so Xiahou Lan followed Pan Feng and Han Lie all the time.

As a result, Pan Feng and his entourage met Yuan Yao in Zhongyang Mountain, and then came all the way to Pingyu, after hearing that Pan Feng and Han Lie were going to stay under Yuan Shu, and even Pan Feng was awarded the position of captain by Yuan Shu, Xia Houlan felt that Pan Feng and Han Lie no longer needed themselves, so after thinking about it, Xia Houlan said goodbye to Pan Feng and Han Lie.

As for Yuan Yao, Xiahou Lan didn't care about his opinion at all, he Xiahou Lan is now a weed people, a ranger, and he is not under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao is only Yuan Shu's son, what does it have to do with him, the reason why he wants to help Pan Feng and Han Lie escape all the way is because of morality. Now that Pan Feng and Han Lie are under Yuan Shu's command, they are already worry-free, and it is time for him to leave.

Riding his horse slowly, Xiahou Lan looked around with a gun, completely unafraid of the cold wind around him, so he walked alone in the cold wind of the mountains and forests.

Xiahoulan is now a cultivator at the peak of his strength, and this level of cold wind cannot affect him at all, and his mount was also given to him by a senior brother when he left the master, it is a demon horse with good strength, so it will naturally not be affected, but Xiahoulan himself is unwilling to rush for some reason, so he just walks slowly, anyway, with Xiahoulan's strength, there are few opponents in the world, but it is not a soft persimmon that can be handled.

The moon is high tonight, but the cold wind is unexpectedly cold, and it seems that winter is really coming.

Just when Xia Houlan was secretly running the Qi in his body to run the master's exercises, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, which made Xia Houlan instantly lift his spirits, clenched the spear in his hand, and looked back.

When he saw the man galloping behind him, Xia Houlan was stunned, because the person who came on a horse was not a fierce robber, but a young man dressed in a robe.

When the young man rode a horse and came to Xia Houlan's side, Xia Houlan also called out his identity.

"Yuan Gongzi?"

Yuan Yao chased after him all the way, and when he saw that he had finally chased Xiahou Lan, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "Xiahou Zhuang, why don't you just say a word and leave?" ”

When dealing with military generals, the most taboo is the kind of roundabout words, and going straight is in line with the style of military generals.

Xiahou Lan hung the spear in his hand on his horse and said, "Yuan Gongzi, I, Xiahou Lan, protect General Pan and Han Gongzi for morality, and now that they have the protection of the rear general, it is useless for me to stay." ”

Yuan Yao looked at Xia Houlan and asked straight to the point: "Xia Houlan, are you willing to join my father's command and serve my father?" ”

"Under the command of the general?"

Yuan Yao's undisguised solicitation made Xia Houlan very surprised, and seeing that Yuan Yao came alone, Xia Houlan's heart was a ripple.

"Xiahoulan, my father now occupies the land of Yuzhou and Nanyang, and has 100,000 male soldiers under his command, all of whom are strong and strong, if you are willing to join my father's command, I dare not say the position of captain, but I still dare to guarantee the position of the military commander."

Xiahoulan looked at Yuan Yao, and did not answer Yuan Yao's solicitation directly, but asked: "Yuan Gongzi, you are here alone, aren't you afraid that my Xiahoulan will have any thoughts that you shouldn't have?" ”

Yuan Yao's face was fearless, and he said, "I believe that you Xiahoulan is not such a person, otherwise I wouldn't have come." ”

Seeing that Xiahoulan did not immediately refuse, Yuan Yao also knew that Xiahoulan had this thought, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Xiahoulan, under my father's command, your talent will never be buried, and General Pan is now one of the five captains under my father's command, with your relationship with him, it is definitely a correct choice for you to come under my father's command." ”

Xiahou Lan did not deny that he was indeed a little moved, as Yuan Yao said, under Yuan Shu, with his strength and relationship with Pan Feng and Han Lie, it is estimated that he will not be able to get the position of captain, but there is no problem with the position of a military commander. This starting point is indeed not low.

The current era is not the era of the flood of general titles in the late Three Kingdoms, in the present, being able to be a Zhonglang general is already considered to be in a high position, when Huangfu Song led the troops to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves, it was just the position of Zhonglang general, and it was indeed a very good starting point to be able to serve as a military Sima as soon as he came.

Moreover, Xia Houlan could see that Yuan Yao had caught up with him just to recruit him, and tonight was supposed to be a banquet to welcome Pan Feng, and as Yuan Yao, he was qualified to enter the banquet. According to the calculation of time, the banquet is not over yet, and Yuan Yao can run out to catch up with him, which is enough to show Yuan Yao's sincerity.

Of course, Xia Houlan didn't know that the reason why Yuan Yao attached so much importance to him was completely because he wanted to rely on him to contact Zhao Yun, compared to Xia Houlan, or Zhao Yun was more able to arouse Yuan Yao's interest. Xiahou Lan's strength in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms can only be regarded as good, but Zhao Yunna can be said to be a truly top-level figure.

Xia Houlan looked at Yuan Yao with a pair of eyes at this time and asked, "Yuan Gongzi, what you just said is true?" ”

Yuan Yao said: "Xiahou Lan, you can rest assured, I was originally going to talk to you after this reception banquet of Captain Pan, and then recommend you and Chen Zhi to my father together, but who would have thought that you would run away without saying a word." ”

When Yuan Yao met Pan Feng, Xia Houlan also fought with Chen Zhi, so he naturally knew that Chen Zhi's cultivation and strength were at the same level as himself, even if Xia Houlan had the confidence to defeat Chen Zhi, it would take dozens or even hundreds of rounds to distinguish the winner from defeat.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiahou Lan looked at Yuan Yao and said softly: "Yuan Gongzi, you come to chase me tonight, I promise you." ”

Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Xiahoulan, my father is a member of the Yuan clan in Runan, and he is also a general of the Han Dynasty, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe my father." ”

Xia Houlan listened to Yuan Yao's words, but looked at Yuan Yao and said, "Compared with General Hou, I, Xiahou Lan, believe in you Yuan Gongzi more." ”

"Me?" Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Xia Houlan.
