Chen Wu and Cai Wenji and his entourage arrived at Runan County, and the city gates and passes on the road were particularly tightly checked, Chen Wu said to Cai Wenji in the carriage: "After Runan County, it will be under the rule of my eldest brother!" ”

As soon as they arrived in Xihua City, they were stopped by the soldiers defending the city, and the leading lieutenant saw that there were more than ten people in their party, and the horses they were riding were all good horses. The captain stepped forward and asked, "Stop, what are you doing?" ”

Chen Wu stopped the carriage and jumped down and said, "Official, is there something wrong?" ”

The lieutenant said: "Runan Liu Bei and the Yellow Turban thieves Liu Pi and Gong are all in trouble, and Cao Gong strictly ordered the inspection of passers-by, didn't you go to Liu Bei?" ”

Chen Wu said with a smile: "Official, look at what you said, how dare we!" I am a businessman who fled from the north. ”

The lieutenant glanced at the carriage and asked, "Who is in the carriage?" ”

"Oh, it's clumsy inside."

The lieutenant took his subordinates to open the curtain of the carriage to check, Cai Wenji smiled at them, and the captain and the others were stunned by Cai Wenji's beauty on the spot.

Chen Wu took out a bag of money from his sleeve and handed it to the lieutenant, and said in a low voice: "The official has worked hard, I hope the official is accommodating." This is a little bit of heart, take it and buy some good wine with the brothers! ”

The lieutenant accepted the money bag with a smile and said to Chen Wu, "Okay, hurry up." This area is very chaotic, beware of thieves on the road. ”

The money offensive was tried and tested, Chen Wu and the others successfully passed the checkpoint, and the captain and others looked at Chen Wu's carriage and sighed: "The taste of the rich people is not bad!" ”

"Captain Xiao, this time you killed a big ticket, right? In the evening, please go to the 'Red Sleeve Workshop' and play with the girl! ”

"Definitely, definitely!"

Chen Wu was thinking on the way to pass the pass, wasn't Liu Bei under Yuan Shao's account at this time? In fact, Chen Wu's trip north to rescue Cai Wenji caused a series of major events, which indirectly affected the battle of Guandu, and the Southern Xiongnu civil war was about to break out, resulting in Gao Gan freeing up his hands to aid Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao's defense of the Western Front was under unprecedented pressure, but Yuan Shao did not adopt the strategy of slowing down Cao Cao, nor did he heed Tian Feng's advice. Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shao did not accept his advice, although there were two fierce generals Yan Liangwen and Chou, sooner or later he would be defeated by Cao Cao.

Liu Bei wanted to break away from Yuan Shao, and at this time, Liu Pi in Runan rebelled against Cao Cao and joined Yuan Shao, so Liu Bei asked to go to Runan to assist Liu Pi in attacking Cao Cao's rear.

And Guan Yu, who temporarily served under Cao Cao's account, boasted about Haikou before, but now he failed to help Cao Cao behead Yan Liang, and Wen Chou was not killed. Guan Yu learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts again, so he said goodbye to Cao Cao and took Liu Bei's two wives to find Liu Bei.

When Chen Wu and the others arrived in Ruyang, Ruyang City was under martial law and pedestrians were not allowed to pass, and Chen Wu's money offensive was ineffective. Chen Wu saw that they were all taking a detour on the road, caught up with one person and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The one who replied was a middle-aged man, it seemed that he was going to the south to escape the war, he hurriedly replied: "Pingyu, Shangcai and other places Liu Pi and Gong Du and others are in turmoil, and now the passes in Runan are blocked, and if you want to go to the south, you can only take a detour from Xiang County and Xinyang!" Needless to say, I'm still on my way. ”

Chen Wu sighed, forget it, go around the distance. Chen Wu drove the carriage with Cai Wenji, Cao Liang and others to Xiang County, and they made a detour for a hundred miles, and finally arrived in Xiang County.

Chen Wu's entanglement along the way was almost gone, it was getting late, the inns in the county were closed, and many people fled. Chen Wu had no choice but to find a large family to spend the night, and the owner of the family received them warmly.

It turned out that the owner's name was Xiang Chong, and Chen Wu and the others were busy with hunger, so they asked Xiang Chong to get them some food. Chen Wu picked up the bowl and chopsticks and devoured it, and finished a bowl of rice in a few bites, Cai Wenji saw that he was a little rude, and his face was disgusted.

Xiang Zheng sighed, Cai Wenji put down his chopsticks and said: "Master Xiang, I waited for days to travel, eating and sleeping in the open, they were hungry for a while, and they neglected etiquette. Please bear with me! ”

Xiang Chong said: "I feel that my Xiang family is going to suffer a big disaster again. ”

Chen Wu patted his stomach and asked, "Where did Master Xiang say this?" ”

Xiang Chong said: "This county was originally named by the local people to commemorate Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and I am a descendant of the Xiang family. A few days ago, Liu Pigong was in turmoil, and I was ordered by General Xiahou to send his niece to live in Pei County, who would have expected that a group of thieves would rob her! ”

Chen Wu wondered, "General Xiahou? Which Xiahou general, Xiahou Xuan or Xiahou Yuan? ”

"It's Xiahou Yuan." Xiang Chong sighed and replied.

Cai Wenji asked: "Since Miss Xiahou was robbed by thieves, why didn't the county commander send troops to rescue her?" ”

Xiang Chong explained: "The county commander ordered me to lead troops to rescue, and I fought with the thief for more than ten times and finally lost it. The thieves refused to defend the danger, and there were only 300 soldiers in our county, which was difficult to overcome. This Xiahou Yuan learned that his niece had fallen into the hands of thieves, and I was limited to rescue Miss Xiahou within ten days, otherwise my Xiang family would be questioned! ”

Xiang Chong sighed again after speaking, Chen Wu didn't want to care about this idle matter, but Cai Wenji slapped the table and said, "Master Xiang, don't worry." Leave this matter to us! ”

Chen Wu looked at Cai Wenji, shook his head helplessly, and said to Xiang Chong: "Well, I and more than ten of my brothers are all martial arts practitioners, and it is easy to deal with just a few thieves. ”

Xiang Chong was overjoyed and said: "Great, all the strong men want to fight with the thieves, and you can't do it without a blade in your hand." There are still a lot of blades in my village, and all the strong men come with me! ”

Chen Wu, Cao Liang and others followed Xiang Chong to the backyard, only to see that there were various weapons such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks in the courtyard, it seems that Xiang Chong's family is also a family of martial arts. Chen Wu casually picked up a few blades and weighed them and said, "These weapons are okay to practice kung fu in ordinary times, but they are not very practical in battle. ”

Cao Liang chose a double hook, and the rest of the brothers also chose weapons such as the ring head knife and the meteor hammer, Chen Wu looked around and said, "These are too light for me to use!" ”

Xiang Chong looked at Chen Wu's majestic face, and said to him: "The strong man comes with me!" ”

Chen Wu followed Xiang Chong to the back hall, only to see a long halberd swinging horizontally on a wooden shelf, the long halberd shaft was black all over, faintly emitting light. The tip of the halberd was wrapped in a dark glue paint, and I don't know why.

Xiang Chong explained: "This is a treasure handed down by my ancestors, and according to legend, it is a weapon used by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, called 'Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd'!" It's just that it's too heavy and requires two people to lift it, so it's placed here as a ......"

Before Xiang Chong finished speaking, Chen Wu had already stepped forward, holding the halberd pole with both hands and picking up the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd. Xiang Chong exclaimed: "A strong man has good arm strength!" ”

Chen Wu shook the halberd, danced around, swiped on the ground, scraped off the glue paint on the tip of the halberd, he could feel the sound of the Tianlong breaking the city halberd opening, Chen Wu put away the Tianlong breaking city halberd and smiled: "Okay!" Overlord Xiang Yu's weapon is really powerful! ”

Chen Wu lost the Overlord Spear before, and now he has the Heavenly Dragon Halberd, which is the so-called loss of the horse and the blessing of the so-called Saiong. Now Chen Wu is more confident in defeating that gang of thieves.

Xiang Chong told Chen Wu and the others that the gang of thieves was entrenched on Dunqiu Mountain not far from Xiang County, and Chen Wudang and Cao Liang and others rode before Dunqiu Mountain to find the thieves and fight.

Chen Wu came to the front of the mountain, raised the Heavenly Dragon Halberd and pointed at the gate of the village and scolded: "The thieves on the mountain listen, I am Chen Long, a general under the command of Cao Gong, and I am specially ordered by General Xiahou Yuan to save Miss Xiahou. Acquaintances quickly hand over Miss Xiahou, otherwise our army will attack the mountain, and we will definitely kill you and others without leaving a piece of armor! ”

A military horse lined up at the gate of the wall, and a big man in the shape of a man rode out of the battle against the big knife of the door, and shouted at Chen Wu: "Where did the hairy boy come from?" Dare to go wild in front of your grandfather! ”
