Cao Cao smiled, as if he saw an old friend, and said, "Zheng Jun, have you ever recognized me?" ”

Kaiyangmen's surname is Zheng, Zheng Menhou looked at it, recognized Cao Cao, and immediately put on a smiling face, gave a military salute first, and said cordially: "It turned out to be Cao Buwei...... No...... It's Cao Yilang, long time no see, long time no see! "It turned out that when Cao Cao was the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, Zheng Menhou was serving under Cao Cao, and after so many years, he was also promoted to the city gate.

Cao Cao helped Zheng Menhou up and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this. ”

Jiang Xun heard that it was Cao Yilang, and he was also friendly with Yuan Shao, so it seemed that this person must be Cao Cao. Speaking of Cao Cao, Jiang Xun has been friends with him for a long time, and it is better to meet him, and look at Cao Cao carefully, his appearance is mediocre, but it is difficult to hide his heroic spirit.

Cao Cao and Zheng Menhou exchanged a few words of polite greetings, and Zheng Menhou pointed at Jiang Xun and said: "Cao Yilang, the lower officials still have official business to deal with, and they will visit Cao Yilang's mansion another day, offended, offended." "The city gate is the same as the councillor is 600 stones, but the councillor is such a noble position, so Zheng Men Hou calls himself a subordinate official.

Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, grabbed Zheng Menhou's arm, and said, "Zheng Jun, I was about to tell you, this person, Cao Zhi's friend, can you let him go?" ”

"The matter...... This matter ......" Zheng Menhou glanced at Zhang Che with his eyes, and said embarrassedly: "This matter is also embarrassing!" ”

"What's so difficult?" Yuan Shao also walked out of the crowd and said coldly: "I don't know what's the difficulty? I will take Bo Pei to the house, and if Zhang Chang serves someone, I will let him come to Yuan in person. While speaking, Xu You and Liu Bei behind him also stood up to help Yuan Shao. Jiang Xun looked at the two of them, it was okay to say that Xu You, but Liu Bei was impressed at a glance.

"Yuan ...... Yuan ...... "One is the former chief, the other is the famous son of the Yuan family, Zheng Menhou really retreated this time, and just about to agree, he heard a shout in the distance: "Yuan Benchu is so majestic!" ”

The horses' hooves rumbled, and thirty or forty knights galloped in, regardless of the fact that there were so many students and scholars around them. In a hurry, they made way for them, and several of the students were almost hit by horses. The first person in this team of knights was wearing armor, and he couldn't tell what position it was, he strangled his mount, didn't pay attention to Yuan Shao, but pointed at Zhang Che, and said with a smile: "Haha, Ziqing, Ziqing, why are you so discouraged and embarrassed?" "Ziqing, it's Zhang Che's word.

"Brother Bo Chong, how can you make fun of me like this? Now you have to make the decision for me," he said, pointing at Jiang Hyun and saying angrily: "This son insulted me from my father and beat me, etc., the crime cannot be punished!" ”

When he heard the word "Bo Chong", Jiang Xun didn't know him, and Xu You and Liu Bei hadn't heard of it, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had been in Luoyang for a long time. knew that this person was Zhao Ping, the subordinate of Zhao Zhong, who served as the captain of the city gate, and the marquis of the twelve gates were all his subordinate officials.

Zhao Ping didn't know Jiang Xun, and guessed that he was just Yuan Shao's party member, so he said directly to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Benchu, this person offended Zhang Changshou, Zhang Changshou has a lot of capacity, and he won't bother with him." However, beating Ziqing can't be stopped. ”

Jiang Xun secretly paid attention, this person was a little scheming, but he was not as simple as Zhang Che, he only knew how to shout and kill, and bluff. On the surface, he only said that it was the grievance between Jiang Hyun and Zhang Che, and he didn't involve Zhang Rang, and took out an attitude of turning big things into small ones. But once Jiang Hyun is taken away by them, is it round or flat, or is it for them to rub it?

"Humph!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said, "How are you doing?" ”

Zhao Ping thought about it for a while, and if he wanted to take Jiang Hyun away today, he was afraid that it would not be so easy, but he did not gently reveal the truth of the past, so he said: "Let him kneel down and apologize." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Hyun couldn't suppress his anger, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Haha, you can't be humiliated if you can't kill them." What's more, can you kill me? As soon as he finished speaking, Shi A and Jing Wei unsheathed their swords, intending to fight hard.

Seeing Jiang Xun's arrogance and awe-inspiring, Zhao Ping was also angry, and shouted: "Good thief, use my sword to discourage evil?" ”

Seeing Zhao Ping draw his sword, Yuan Shao stepped forward in front of Jiang Xun and shouted, "Zhao Bochong! You dare! ”

"Yuan Benchu!" Zhao Pingjian pointed at Yuan Shao and said, "Don't think that you are pretentious because you are a prince of the Yuan family. You must know that I, Zhao Bochong, don't take your Yuan family in my eyes! ”

Before the words fell, he drove the horse to draw his sword and bypassed Yuan Shao to cut Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun also drew his sword in his hand, hurriedly pushed Yuan Shao away, and was ready to attack, but before he could catch the sword, a feather arrow flew over obliquely, hitting the buttocks of Zhao Ping's mount. The horse was in pain, neighed, and the man stood up and threw Zhao Ping to the ground. This fall was the face that landed first, the helmet fell off and the bun was scattered, and the ground was full of sand and gravel, which wiped several cuts on the face, which was much more embarrassing than Zhang Cheke.

This arrow came unexpectedly, Jiang Hyun looked over there and saw a knight fifty paces away. The knight was born mighty, with a leopard's head and thin eyes, broomsticks and eyebrows, a tousled beard, dressed in black and shiny iron armor, holding a bow of a hundred stones, and a yellow horse in his crotch roaring in the wind.

Zhao Ping stood up slowly, combed the hair in front of him, touched the wound on his face, glanced at his injured mount, and then looked at the archer-wielding knight, why couldn't he understand? Zhao Ping pointed at the knight and scolded, "Where did you come from to raise a child? Dare to shoot a male BMW? ”

The knight with the bow was scolded and kept silent, but he saw a group of cavalry rushing behind him, about twenty or so people, all with swords and bows, and all of them shaved their heads, and they were all horsemen. A large flag was revealed in the dust, with white characters on a red background, and the book "Changshui Captain Yuan" was written.

Looking at these five big characters, Shi A exclaimed: "Huh! It turned out to be Yuan Changshui, a ghost in the road? ”

"Who?" Jiang Hyun was puzzled.

Shi A's eyes were smart, and he glanced at Yuan Shao, and then whispered in Jiang Xun's ear: "This captain Changshui is Yuan Benchu's younger brother, Yuan Highway. Shang Renxia, good spirit, often on the street galloping horses, very arrogant, no one dares to provoke, known as the road ghost! ”

Jiang Xun knew that the late Sikong Yuan Feng had a son Yuan Shu, and he was also Yuan Shao's younger brother, but he didn't want the Yuan family to have such a character, and he also got a bad reputation as a ghost on the road. Jiang Xun looked at Yuan Shao again, and saw that Yuan Shao's face was a little subtle, but he didn't know why.

Sure enough, a group of Hu horsemen made way of a passage, and a troika rushed towards Zhao Ping without slowing down.

Zhao Ping had just struggled to stand up, his legs were still hurting, and when he saw that the carriage was about to hit him, he was so frightened that he couldn't move his legs, and he couldn't shout in his mouth.

The three horses rushed to Zhao Ping, neighing in unison, and actually stopped abruptly, the horse in front was only half a foot away from Zhao Ping's face, and Zhao Ping could feel the heavy breathing of the horse.

This is a light car, there is a military attache in the car, the appearance is similar to Yuan Shao, but it is shorter and fatter, and it is dressed the same as that Zheng Menhou, but it is wearing a green ribbon, which is Yuan Shu, the captain of Changshui.

Yuan Shu didn't get out of the car, he stood up from the light car, stepped on the beam in front of the car with one foot, pointed at Zhao Ping with a halberd, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Ping, I heard you insulting my Yuan family from a distance." What about Zhang Chang's attendants? Even Zhang Chang is a servant of the family, a dog of my Yuan family, and I can't tolerate you to despise it! ”

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Xun touched his nose, thinking that Zhao Ping was arguing with Yuan Shao just now, Yuan Shu said this, didn't even Yuan Shao scold him? Looking at it again, sure enough, Yuan Shao's eyebrows were already a little angry, but he cultivated very well and did not have a seizure.

"Fuyi!" Yuan Shu instructed the archer-wielding knight in Fangcai: "Reward him with twenty rods on my behalf!" "Fu Yi is the word of the knight with the bow, his surname is Ji Mingling, he was originally a guest of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was the captain of Changshui, and he joined the army with him.

"Whoa!" Ji Ling replied.

Zhao Ping saw that Ji Ling was mighty, and he didn't dare to make any more moves, but just shouted: "Yuan Shu...... Yuan Highway ...... You dare! Seeing that Ji Ling was about to move, the soldiers under his command also drew their swords one after another, wanting to come forward to save Zhao Ping.

Yuan Shu saw that the other party's men and horses were moving, not to be outdone, and with a wave of his hand, more than 20 Hu cavalry scattered in all directions, surrounding Jiang Xun, Yuan Cao and others and the people of the city gate captain. Yuan Shu smiled: "Hey, hey, shaft!" I'd like to see if your city gate guards can outmaneuver against my black horsemen!" "The former Han Dynasty of the Changshui Captain, after Zhongxing, the Hu cavalry captain was omitted, and the naturalized Hu cavalry was merged into the Changshui captain.

Zhao Ping didn't dare to move, he knew that although he had a lot of people, Hu Qi was brave, and he would suffer a loss if he really started. Similarly, although Yuan Shu had confidence in Ji Ling's Wuhuan Huqi under his opponents, Captain Changshui and Captain Chengmen each led dozens of people to move in front of Taixuemen, and afterwards he was not afraid of losing his official position, but afraid of the punishment of his uncle, Yuan Kui, who was the imperial lieutenant.

Both of them have scruples, but the scene is deadlocked, and for the sake of face, no one is willing to take a step back.

"Are the two captains going to lead the army to fight outside this Taixue Gate?"

A shrill, old voice came, and everyone followed the prestige, and saw a car slowly coming from the Lumen, beside the car twenty armored riders, holding halberds on both sides, in front of the car walked an old man, with a white face and no beard, was the one who had just spoken. The so-called carriage is a kind of carriage with two wheels and one horse, a square carriage, with curtains on all sides, light and comfortable, and often used by noble ladies. And this car depicts a dragon and a phoenix, and it is obvious that the car is a nobleman in the palace.

The person who shouted could see at a glance that it was a eunuch, and everyone thought that it was sent by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong or other Zhongchang attendants, especially Yuan Shu, who thought so. But Zhao usually walked around the palace, but he had never seen this old eunuch, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

Shi Ah leaned closer to Jiang Xun and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Jun, but Zhang Che and Zhao Ping's rescuers?" ”

Jiang Jun looked at Zhang Che and Zhao Ping, and looking at the expressions of the two of them, it seemed that they were not familiar with the person in the car and the old eunuch. looked at Er Yuan, Cao Cao and Zheng Menhou again, and they were even more dazed. Then he said: "Not necessarily, this matter may have a turnaround." ”

The car came near, stopped, and lifted the curtain to reveal a soft wattle, as if to say something to the old eunuch. Although I couldn't hear what was being said, I could vaguely hear the voice of the person in the car as crisp as a silver bell, and it should be a girl.

The old eunuch first walked next to Zhao Ping, who was closer to him, and asked what happened, and Zhao Ping naturally added fuel and vinegar to talk nonsense. After asking, the old eunuch did not ask Yuan Shu, but walked over directly to ask Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao did not hide it, and said what he saw clearly.

After that, the old eunuch walked up to Jiang Xun again, first looked up and down, and said with a smile: "You are Jiang Bopei?" ”

"Exactly."

"You kicked Zhang Ziqing?"

"It's me."

The old eunuch didn't say anything, just smiled and went back to the person in the car to report his life, and after talking with the person in the car for a while, he returned to the crowd and said loudly: "In the car is the princess of Wannian. You are all the pillars of the country and the cadres of the Han Dynasty, and you hope to stop making peace. If Your Majesty is made aware of this, you will not escape punishment. ”

After speaking, the convoy turned around and headed towards Kaiyang Bridge.

Zhao Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go back with Zhang Che in his arms. Zhang Che hadn't seen the situation clearly, and said while struggling: "Brother Bo Chong, there are many people in me, why don't you be afraid of that Yuan Shu, you are a princess, and you don't need to pay attention to ......."

"Ahh Zhao Ping glanced at Zhang Che and said impatiently: "The princess has saved me and waited, then Hu Qi is fierce, even if I transfer dozens of people, I can't defeat it!" The two of them muttered, and then led the troops to follow the princess's car and drove to the city, for fear that Yuan Shu would beat him up if he walked slowly.

Yuan Shu saw that Zhao Ping and Zhang Che were gone, and he also got off the donkey down the slope and stopped pursuing them. Jiang Xun thought that he didn't suffer a loss, but he still helped Er Yuan and Cao Cao, and wanted to leave a few people to thank him. But before he could speak, Yuan Shu beckoned his subordinates to gallop away, and did not say hello to Yuan Shao from beginning to end.

Yuan Shu's attitude, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao seem to have long been accustomed to it. The two of them didn't pay attention to Yuan Shu, but set their eyes on the car where Princess Wannian was gone. The matter of the princess of Wannian, the two of them knew best. The princess's return is bound to set off another storm in the court.

After Yuan Shu and Zhao Ping's people left, Shi A whispered to Jiang Xun again: "Jiang Jun has noticed that there are knife marks and arrow holes on the princess's chariot. ”

"Really?"
