Chapter 271: Runan Juyi
The next day, Guan Hai got up and went to the back mountain to deliver food as usual, but found that the room was empty.
"Miss Xiahou, Miss Xiahou, where are you?" Guan Hai was so anxious that he searched around.
Guan Hai's subordinates heard his cry and came to report: "Leader Guan, Du Yuan and his subordinates fled down the mountain overnight!" ”
"It's broken! It must have been Du Yuan who robbed Miss Xiahou. Prepare the horse quickly, follow me to chase Du Yuan! Guan Hai hurriedly said.
Guan Hai led people to chase out along the horseshoe prints, but no trace of Du Yuan and others was found. Guan Hai sighed, returned to the village, asked him to tie him up, and went to Xiang Chong's mansion to ask Chen Wu for his guilt.
Chen Wu saw Guan Hai coming from his hands and feet, so he knew that something was wrong, Guan Hai knelt on the ground and said, "General, it's all my fault for being negligent for a while, and I actually let Du Yuan rob Miss Xiahou away." I will die to apologize! ”
Xiang Chong was shocked when he heard this: "Huh? Today's ten-day period has arrived, and my family will not be able to escape this catastrophe, alas......"
Chen Wu hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, Master Xiang, you can go to Jiangnan to seek refuge with my eldest brother Han Xuan." In this way, I will repair a letter to you, and when you get to Jiangnan, you will let someone hand it over to my eldest brother, and he will be able to ensure that your Xiang family is rich! ”
"Thank you, General Chen!" Xiang Chong also respected Chen Wu very much after knowing his identity, and with his relationship with Han Xuan, he could keep his Xiang family.
Chen Wu picked up Guan Hai and said, "Guan Hai, you get up." Miss Xiahou, we will try our best to find it, you take me to the cottage to ask about the situation first, and then we will set off. ”
Guan Hai looked at Chen Wu with gratitude, and had no choice but to welcome Chen Wu, Cao Liang and the others to the Dunqiu Mountain Cottage. At this time, in the cottage, most of the old Yellow Turban departments went to take refuge in Liu Pi and Gong Du, and Guan Hai summoned all the bandits who stayed.
Chen Wu asked, "Did any of you hear the noise last night?" ”
No one in the audience responded, and Guan Hai shouted: "The general asked you something, and you will return quickly if you know!" ”
A small thief stood up tremblingly and said, "The villain went out last night to relieve himself, and when he heard a group of people sneakily running down the mountain, the villain followed. I didn't expect to be discovered by them, and I saw that it was the second master. They threatened me with knives and kept me from revealing their whereabouts. ”
Guan Hai was so angry that he kicked him out, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
Chen Wu looked nervous at Guan Hai, it seemed that he was very concerned about this Miss Xiahou, Guan Hai was going to beat that person, Chen Wu stopped him and said, "Don't fight, hurry up and ask, Du Yuan, which direction are they going." ”
The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "They're going south!" ”
Chen Wu glanced at the thief and persuaded Guan Hai: "You can't beat your subordinates anymore in the future, and your previous habits should also be changed!" ”
Guan Hai agreed, and went south with Chen Wu and his party. After searching for several days, they didn't find Du Yuan and the others, Xiang Chong had already fled to Jiangnan with his family, and the unlucky county commander carried the pot down and suffered Xiahou Yuan's anger.
Since Zhang Fei was separated from Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he led the remnants of the army to pull up a team by himself and entrenched in the mountains. Recently, I heard that Liu Bei had arrived in Runan, so I was anxious to go to Runan to meet Liu Bei.
When he arrived in Xinyang, the Xinyang guard saw Zhang Fei leading his troops and horses over, so he went out of the city to intercept him. Zhang Fei raised his spear and pointed at the general and asked, "Who is the one who dares to stop me Zhang Fei's way?" ”
The Xinyang guard general stepped forward with a gun and replied: "I am under the command of Cao Gong, and Qin Yilu, the magistrate of Xinyang County, is also!" ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he laughed and said: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be the old general of the three family slaves." Cao Cao married your wife Du Shi, and you still serve him, is there such a bloodless person in the world? ”
Qin Yilu was ashamed and angry, and sighed: "Cao Cao occupies my wife, I want to get rid of her as soon as possible." I can't only hate it! ”
Zhang Fei said: "This is like a man, my eldest brother Liu Bei is recruiting soldiers and horses in Runan City to prepare to fight against Cao Cao, are you willing to follow me to help my eldest brother fight against Cao Cao?" ”
Qin Yilu was moved by Zhang Fei's words, so he had to follow Zhang Fei together, and before he walked a few miles, a team of people and horses in the distance rolled up a puff of dust. The leader is red-faced and long-haired, holding the Green Dragon Glaive Knife, riding a red rabbit horse.
When Zhang Fei saw it, he immediately rode his horse with a spear and led the men and horses to rush towards them. When Zhang Fei got closer, Guan Yu recognized Zhang Fei and patted his horse excitedly.
But seeing Zhang Feixing's eyes glaring angrily, he roared, and swung his Zhangba snake spear and stabbed straight at Guan Yu. Guan Yu was shocked, and hurriedly flashed, and shouted: "Why is the virtuous brother like this?" Have you forgotten the Taoyuan Alliance? ”
Zhang Fei shouted: "Since you are not righteous, what face do you have to meet me!" ”
Guan Yu defended: "How can I be unjust? ”
Zhang Fei sneered: "You carried the eldest brother, demoted Cao Cao, and became an official and worshiped the general." Earn me again today! I'm fighting you to the death! ”
Guan Yu sighed: "You don't know! It's hard for me to say. Now the two sisters-in-law are here, please ask yourself. ”
When Mrs. Mi heard this, she opened the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Why is the third uncle like this?" ”
Zhang Fei glanced at Mrs. Mi and said, "Sister-in-law, wait." Let's see that I killed the unrighteous person, and then took my sister-in-law to see my eldest brother. ”
Mrs. Gan explained: "The second uncle didn't know your whereabouts, so he temporarily lived in Cao Cao. Now that your brother is in Runan, he will not avoid danger and send us here. The third uncle Hugh blamed the good guys. ”
Mrs. Mi said again: "The second uncle was in Xudu before, and he was also forced to be helpless. ”
Zhang Fei shouted: "Sister-in-law Hugh is going to be deceived by him!" Loyal ministers would rather die than be dishonored. How can a big husband have the reason of two masters! ”
Guan Yu only said: "Virtuous brother Hugh gave me up. ”
A scribe behind Guan Yu stepped forward, it turned out to be Sun Qian, and he persuaded: "Yun Chang is here to find the general and the lord, Cao Cao knows that the lord will be sent to attack in Runan." The two generals are the right hand of the lord, and they must not delay the lord's major affairs because of a momentary misunderstanding! ”
Zhang Fei was no longer entangled, and walked side by side with Guan Yu and others, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also had a sentence that they didn't say. Guan Yu pointed at Qin Yilu and asked, "Third brother, who is this?" ”
"Qin Yilu, the old general of Lu Bu, served as the magistrate of Xinyang County under Cao Cao. Follow me to join the big brother today. Zhang Fei replied coldly.
Guan Yu squinted at Danfeng and looked at Qin Yilu with a complicated expression, Qin Yilu was also looking at Guan Yu, remembering the rumors he had heard before, Guan Yu repeatedly asked Cao Cao to marry his wife when Xiapi City was broken. Qin Yilu said in his heart, if I join Liu Bei's command, I will be squeezed out by this person, so it is better to take advantage of his disagreement with Zhang Fei to get out and return.
Qin Yilu led his troops to leave the team, and Zhang Fei shouted violently: "Qin Yilu, where do you want to go?" ”
Qin Yilu replied hesitantly: "My mother is still at home, and I want to go back and bring my mother." ”
Qin Yilu urged the horse to flee, Zhang Fei knew that he was lying, and chased after him. Zhang Fei stabbed Qin Yilu in the back with a spear, Qin Yilu was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei escorted Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan's car all the way to Runan City, and after traveling for several days, suddenly it rained heavily, and Guan Yu and others were drenched.
Zhang Fei saw a village courtyard on the side of the hill from afar, and Guan Yu led the chariot to spend the night there. An old man in the village came out to greet him. Guan Yu told him the purpose of their visit. The old man bowed his hand and said: "A certain surname is Guo, his name is Chang, and he lives here." I have heard the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to pay homage. ”
Guo Chang slaughtered the sheep and set up a banquet for hospitality, and invited Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan to the back hall to rest. Guo often accompanied Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Sun Qian to drink in the thatched hall. While baking luggage, feed the horses.
At dusk, I saw a young man, who led several people into the village, and came straight to the cottage. Guo Chang shouted at one of them, "Wu'er has come to worship the general." ”
Guo Chang pointed to a young man with thief eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes and said, "This is my son Guo Da." ”
Zhang Fei asked, "Where did you come from?" ”
Guo Da didn't answer, Guo Chang sighed and said, "He is shooting Fang Hui." ”
The young man saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and went down to the hall. Guo Chang said with tears in his eyes: "The old man cultivates and reads the heirloom, and he stops giving birth to this son, not doing his own business, but only hunting." It's a family misfortune too! ”
Guan Yu said: "In today's troubled times, if you are skilled in martial arts, you can also take fame, how can you say that it is unfortunate? ”
Guo Chang shook his head and said: "If he is willing to practice martial arts, he is a person with aspirations; Now his specialist wanders and does everything, so the old man is worried! ”
Guan Yu also sighed for Guo Da, but Zhang Fei was very disdainful of Guo Da.
