Pulling out the sword from the corpse of the Cao Sect Master, Guan Yu raised his head and glanced in the direction of the mountain gate.

The mountain gate was closed, and the brothers of the bow and crossbow camp had already jumped out of the woods and grass and rushed up.

Guan Yu raised his hand and said loudly: "Don't chase it!" Those who can survive are martial arts masters with some kung fu, and we can't take advantage of short-handed encounters. Wrap the arrows of the crossbow arrows in velvet, find some dry firewood to pile up in front of the mountain gate, and set it on fire! Lao Tzu is going to burn down this ten thousand ghost gates where demons and monsters gather today! ”。

Seeing the billowing smoke rising from the top of the mountain, Du Zhongnian under the mountain was really relieved, explained a few words to Cui Dakui, and rushed to the top of the mountain with a group of soldiers with knives and guns.

He was greatly relieved to see General Guan directing his brothers to play with fire with great interest and leisure.

"Brother Zhongnian, why did you come up too?" Guan Yu turned his head to look at him and grinned.

Du Zhongnian frowned, looked at the sky-high fire in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Who are the people on the top of the mountain?" If it is a thief, why should he set it on fire so that the brothers do not attack it directly? ”。

Guan Yu smiled indifferently and replied, "Oh, it's all demons and monsters, a nest of snakes and rats." It is inevitable that the brothers will suffer casualties when they attack it, and they will save their worries when they burn it! ”。

Before the words fell, the mountain gate suddenly opened. Screaming and screaming, he rushed out a dozen strong men with smoked faces and dark faces who didn't look good at all, and seemed to be holding a blade in his hand. After a dozen steps, they fell into the smoke or were shot into hedgehogs by the dense crossbow arrows around them.

Guan Yu said calmly: "Look, how worry-free this is!" Well, the show is over, let's get the team down the mountain. ”

On the mountain road, the brigade of Guan Yu, the king of the north of Dachuding, regrouped.

The smoke of the fire on the top of the mountain did not dissipate for a long time.

A fast horse galloped towards him, and the rider of the horse was panting and staggering, looking ready to dismount at any moment.

The horses rushed forward, and the riders on the horses hurriedly rolled their saddles and fell off their horses, looking unsteady on their feet. He knelt on the ground, raised his head and said in a loud voice: "This is the soldiers and horses commanded by the prince of Dingbei?" In the next from the capital, Dazai-sama has a secret letter of 100,000 urgent, let me personally hand it over to the prince of Dingbei! ”。

The soldier in front brought the messenger to Guan Yu, Guan Yu frowned, took the secret letter in the messenger's hand, tore it open and looked at it a few times, and hurriedly leaned over and asked the messenger: "What has happened in the capital recently?" ”。

The messenger looked dazed, thought for a moment and replied, "Most of the things are calm, everything is as usual, and I really don't know what happened down there!" ”。

Guan Yu saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he waved his hand and asked people to bring the messenger down to rest.

Du Zhongnian and Cui Dakui, the two lieutenants, rushed over and asked curiously, "General, what did Dazai-sama say in his letter?" ”。

Guan Yu handed the opened letter directly to Du Zhongnian, and replied, "Look at it for yourself." Dazai-sama only said that something shocking happened in the capital, and the men and horses were temporarily handed over to the two of you to command, and they moved slowly according to the plan. Let me keep going, secretly rush back to the capital day and night, and discuss important matters. ”

After the letter was read by the two lieutenants, they were even more confused.

Guan Yu frowned gloomily and said, "Shi Dazai has always been cautious, he said something big, it must be a big thing." According to Dazai's words, the two of you led our troops and horses, and then came, and Guan took the first step. ”

Cui Dakui hurriedly said: "General Guan, listen to Lord Dazai's tone, if you go to the capital, I am afraid that there is any danger, it is better for you to bring more guards." ”

Guan Yu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, the more people, the bigger the target, but I can go alone." ”

With the help of tea, a tall horse with a dark body broke away from the large army, and its four hooves flew and galloped towards the direction of the capital.

The cold waves rolled and crashed against the wet embankment, making a rattling sound.

In the small fishing village by the river, there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Under the moonlight, Doctor Xue picked up the wine cup, took a sip of wine, tasted it beautifully, and gently put down the wine cup.

He looked up at Xin Botao, who was sitting opposite, with a sad face, reached out and patted his knee and said, "Okay, then Miss Chen has been gone for so long, and you still can't forget it?" How did I persuade you in the first place? It's a gentleman who speaks boldly, you can be good, always say wait, wait, wait, don't wait until the cooked ducks have flew, what's the use of regretting? ”。

Xin Botao grabbed two handfuls of messy hair on the top of his head, and said with a painful expression: "Doctor Xue, I won't tell you anything, I won't know how good Miss Chen is until she leaves, how important she is to me!" After she left, I couldn't do anything, it was like a serious illness. Why do you say I'm ...... Alas! ”。

Doctor Xue stretched his neck and said, "On weekdays, I see you like a man, why can't you open your mouth at a critical time?" You want her to stay, so why don't you stop her? ”。

Xin Botao reached out and grabbed the wine bowl on the table in annoyance and drank it all, his face was flushed in an instant, and he replied with a look of chagrin...... I still don't think I'm worthy of her! She asked to leave, and I was completely confused by the "buzz" in my head, and I didn't know what to say or do. ”

Doctor Xue patted the table anxiously and said, "Then you should at least ask where her home is, where she wants to go, and whether she will come back, right?" ”。

Xin Botao rubbed his two big hands in embarrassment, bowed his head and said: "I only remember that she vaguely mentioned the capital of the capital and Pingzhou City, and also said that she will definitely come back to repay us if she has the opportunity in the future, something else...... Not anymore. ”

Xue Shenyi's complicated eyes stared at him for a long time, sighed softly, lowered his head and poured wine into the cups and bowls of the two, picked up the wine cup and said, "Come, silly boy, I'll drink one with you." Don't be stunned, pick it up! As the saying goes: life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky. This marriage depends more on fate! I believe that the two of you will meet again one day, and if you don't believe it, we'll see. ”

On the day Guan Yu arrived in the capital, the sky in the capital was gray.

When I entered the gate, it was already dark, and it was about to be closed. The hard hooves of horses beat against the equally hard bluestone pavement of most of the streets, making a pleasant crashing sound.

Guan Yu didn't stop, ran directly to the door of Dazai's Mansion, and said to the guards in front of the door: "I'm tired of this little brother quickly entering Dazai-sama, and he said that King Guan Yu of Dingbei asked to see him in front of his mansion." ”

The guards hurriedly clasped their fists in salute, turned around and hurried in with their heads bowed.

A moment later, the door opened. Dressed in civilian clothes, Ishidazai hurriedly raised his legs and stepped over the threshold to greet him in person.

Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward, and was about to give a salute, when Shi Tiangong grabbed his wrist, leaned over and whispered: "Sixth brother Hugh wants to be polite, quickly follow me in, something big happened!" Looking forward to the stars and the moon can be regarded as looking forward to you back, and now I can only discuss this matter secretly with my sixth brother! ”。

After speaking, he didn't wait for Guan Yu to ask. Twisting around and grabbing his wrist, Guan Yu had no choice but to follow closely with suspicion.
