Chapter 12: The First Priority

In the pink morning sun, Nie Yunniang was wearing golden armor and walking side by side with General Guan in silver armor, walking at the forefront of the team. Behind the two of them, from time to time there were envious glances from countless officers and soldiers of the Red Turban Army.

Although Nie Yunniang had bitterness in her heart, since the shameless man had already pierced the layer of window lattice paper in public, and then twisted and pinched, she looked petty, so she simply went hand in hand with the shameless person, even if the two sides didn't talk much, she also had a full sense of steadfastness in her heart. As for others, let them go whatever they like.

A war horse galloped forward, and when the man on the horse saw the large army, he turned over and dismounted neatly from a distance, and fell to his knees.

When Guan Yu and Yun Niang's war horses approached, only then did they raise their heads and say: "General Guan, the little one is hereby summoned by the order of the leader and the military division: General Tang's men and horses have arrived at the city of Pingzhou yesterday, and the leader and military division have temporarily ordered their men and horses to be stationed outside Pingzhou City, hoping that General Guan will speed up his pace and enter the city together after the two groups of men and horses converge." The leader will hold a grand welcome ceremony at the city gate to welcome the triumphant return of the two generals! ”。

Guan Yu immediately smiled when he heard this: "Please go back and tell the two elder brothers, we only need half a day to reach the city of Pingzhou." ”

After the visitor gave a deep salute, he turned over and hit the horse again.

Guan Yu shook his head lightly, turned his head to Yun Niang with a smile and said: "My eldest brother doesn't know who he learned from, it's freezing and he doesn't let the fifth man's people enter the city, so he has to wait for us to do some welcome ceremony, and it will cost the people and money!" ”。

Nie Yunniang lowered her head timidly and asked in a low voice, "How are your two elder brothers temperamental?" Will it look the other way at me? ”。

Guan Yu hurriedly comforted: "You put a hundred hearts away, my brothers are all bold and straightforward people, with me, everyone will look up to you, not to mention that you are so pretty and lovely?" They couldn't be happier! ”。

Nie Yunniang's face was slightly red, she snorted softly, smiled lightly and bowed her head silently.

At this time, Cui Dakui, who was at a distance from them behind him, rushed up and asked in a loud voice, "General Guan, why did the herald come just now?" ”。

Guan Yu turned around and said, "Oh, tell the brothers to speed up their pace, the leader has prepared steaming good wine and meat for everyone, and is waiting for everyone to shake off their cheeks after entering the city!" ”。

Cui Dakui laughed and turned around to inform the brothers behind, Guan Yu shook the reins of the horse, and the "Black Panther" understood and trotted briskly.

Under the city of Pingzhou, the salute rumbled, and the gongs and drums shook the sky. Liu Qian was dressed in a bright red dress, and he personally led a group of people out of the city to greet him.

Guan Yu, who had already dismounted and waited, stood side by side with Tang Wannian, and hurriedly bowed down when they saw the eldest brother. Liu Qian laughed and raised his hand to each other, and said in his mouth: "The two virtuous brothers don't need to be polite, you have worked hard and worked hard all the way!" Bring the wine! ”。

Hundreds of attendants carried trays that had been prepared long ago, and the trays were filled with wine-scented wine bowls. Liu Qian bowed down and personally served a bowl of wine to Tang Wannian and Guan Yu, and when everyone in the army had a bowl of wine in their hands, Liu Qian raised his head and said loudly: "Brothers, all the way to the dust, triumphantly returned, everyone has worked hard!" We first drank this bowl of thin wine together, and after entering the city, everyone was rewarded! Shi Junshi has already ordered someone to set up a celebration banquet and arrange everything for everyone, and tonight we will all drink all night, and we will not return home if we are not drunk! ”。

In the rumbling salute and the earth-shattering gongs and drums, Liu Qian stretched out his big hand, pulled Tang Wannian and Guan Yu on the left and right respectively, raised his head and chest, and boarded a wide and gorgeous roofless carriage together. This carriage, which was pulled by eight tall horses, slowly drove into the colorful city of Pingzhou in the crowd and cheers.

The original Pingzhou Mansion and later the Red Turban Army Council Hall have now been transformed into a large banquet hall. Inside, dozens of tables are placed together in turn, and the roof is surrounded by red curtains and bright lanterns, and the hall is as bright as day, and the atmosphere is full of joy. Under the guidance of the protocol officer, the senior generals are taking their seats one after another.

In the side room on one side, Liu Qian, Shi Tiangong, Tang Wannian, and Guan Yu brothers were talking and laughing. Liu Qian curiously turned around and looked out through the carved grille and asked, "Which one is Nie Yunniang?" ”。

Guan Yu pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother is confused, right?" She is the only female general in the entire military camp, does this need to be asked? ”。

Shi Tiangong also stood up, stretched his neck to look at it a few times, and nodded: "Sure enough, he is heroic, a talent, and the sixth brother is a good means!" ”。

Liu Qian turned his head and said strangely: "She looks like a weak woman with a curvy and graceful appearance, could it really be her who slashed your fourth brother?" ”。

Guan Yu laughed and said: "Big brother said so, could it be me who slashed the fourth brother?" The eldest brother should have heard an old saying, "Don't look good, don't look good!" ”。

Liu Qian waved his sleeves and said, "In a while, you will focus on introducing me and your second brother, and in addition, tonight, I and your second brother will be the matchmaker, and your marriage will be decided quickly, and you will choose a good day and an auspicious day to complete the marriage within a limited time." ”

Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said in his mouth: "Why are the two brothers more anxious than me? The younger brother also plans to report to the two brothers when he returns, and then discuss the matter. ”

Shi Tian's archer stroked his long hair and said, "Silly sixth brother, what is there to discuss?" Before you returned, the letters from your third and fourth brothers had already arrived. This Nie girl was originally the deputy leader of the Black Flag Army, and she has a good martial arts, so she is a rare talent! It's so much better than the wife of your old county guard's daughter! ”。

Liu Qian nodded again and again and said, "Yes, sixth brother, this marriage is not only your personal private matter, but also related to the future development and growth of my Red Turban Army." Your former wife, if she wants to be a concubine, keep it. If you want to divorce her, and you are embarrassed to speak, leave it to the two brothers, and we will solve it for you! ”。

Shi Tiangong stretched out his hand with a sympathetic look and patted the back of Guan Yu's hand and said, "Sixth brother, my eldest brother and I both know that you have been wronged for so many years!" My eldest brother and I have already discussed, you don't have to do anything during this period of rest for the army, and marrying Miss Nie as soon as possible is the top priority of our army! ”。

The two of you say a word to me, and they are bitter, but Guan Yu's eyes are straight, and the more he listens, the more confused he becomes. I have eaten and drunk well over the years, some people have suffered, nephrite is warm and fragrant, Lang is a concubine, and I have suffered a great grievance by sleeping with a beautiful woman? He couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: God, let the grievances come more violently! I can bear it.

Guan Yu, who couldn't bear it, finally raised his hand to interrupt the chatter of the two elder brothers, and clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for the two elder brothers' meticulous care for the younger brother, the younger brother is grateful in his heart." It's just that my brother knows this matter in his heart, and he can't be in a hurry. Besides, Qing'er and I are also in love, and I will never abandon it. I hope that the two elder brothers will give the younger brother some time, and I want her to let the two of them get in touch slowly and get used to each other before making plans. ”

Liu Qian groaned and glanced at Shi Tiangong, Shi Junshi stroked his long hair, closed his eyes slightly, and nodded lightly.

Liu Qian waved his hand and said, "Okay, just do as you say!" I can't care about the daughter of the former county guard, but if you treat Miss Nie slowly, we will never agree to be our elder brother! ”。

Shi Tiangong also bowed slightly: "I have ordered someone to set up another house for Miss Nie in the city, and arranged reliable manpower to serve her, and there are all kinds of daily necessities there, you can go there to live if you want, and you can get married at any time." ”

Guan Yu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat oozing from the corner of his forehead, and said, "Brothers, don't worry, Yun Niang has a heart for her brother, and she will never abandon me easily." My little brother has an urgent matter waiting to be done: a distant cousin of mine has sent a message to me that she is trapped by a wicked mother-in-law and needs me to rescue her as soon as possible! ”。

Liu Qian glanced at Guan Yu in surprise and said, "Distant cousin? I've never heard the sixth brother mention it before. Besides, why do you want to go out yourself? Tell a few of your brothers, carry a cannon over, cut off the head of the evil mother-in-law, rescue your cousin, and bombard the evil woman's residence to the ground. ”。

Guan Yu opened his mouth and stammered, so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" I have to do it myself."

Yunkong Mountain in winter is another different kind of beauty. The snow is white, erasing the original dark green and beautiful color, just like a cold and arrogant beauty, just after bathing, lazily lying on the side, slightly closed eyes comfortably basking in the warm sun.

On the side hall, Yun Ni Shitai was dressed in white, holding the floating dust in his hand, and was sitting in danger.

She slowly opened her slightly closed eyes, staring at Chen Ling'er kneeling at her feet with mixed emotions, speechless for a long time.

With a light sigh, Yun Ni Shi couldn't help but speak, "What kind of demon path have you been in with a criminal?" After dying for so long, he refused to admit his mistake to his teacher! As a teacher, you have studied the scriptures hard, and you have thought about it in front of the wall, but now you can repent? ”。

Chen Ling'er, who raised her head slightly, looked obviously thinner than before, and her originally delicate and ruddy duck egg face almost turned into a melon seed face, but her eyes were still obsessive and firm, and her long black and shiny eyelashes seemed to be longer. She gently saluted Master Yunni, but still didn't say a word.

Master Yun Ni stood up quite angrily, but he couldn't get started, paced back and forth a few steps, and said in a slow tone: "Fool, the teacher doesn't care about you. There are always times when people are young and impulsive and stupid, and the teacher also beats you at this age. Only after experiencing many things can we look down on the wind and moon, have no distractions, and truly understand the emptiness of the four major things. ”

Yun Ni stopped, saw that Chen Ling'er was not moving, and sneered: "If that little thief had you in his heart, he would have come to look for you a long time ago." Perhaps he had already died in front of the two armies, with his head in a different place. Or maybe he's forgotten about you a long time ago. It's ridiculous that you're still here stupid! As a teacher, you might as well make a bet with you: within a month, if the thief appears in Yunkong Mountain, the teacher will not stop you, send you two down the mountain, and achieve a beautiful marriage; Otherwise, you must change your mind, completely cut off the dust, cut your hair to become a nun, and sincerely serve the Buddha all your life, are you willing? ”。

Chen Linger's thin body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head deeply, not daring to answer.

In the empty hall, a thunderous voice sounded in the ears of the two: "Old witch, this is what you said personally, don't regret it!" ”。

Hearing this, Chen Ling'er raised her head suddenly, a wisp of spring breeze swept across her white and tender powder, the smile on her face was like a summer flower, and two lines of hot tears rolled down involuntarily.
