Chapter Eighty-Nine: Steadfast

Lu Zhao bowed slightly, for some reason he only felt a chill extending from his back, and he subconsciously clenched the bow hanging on his body and turned around slowly.

Zhao Wusheng was staring at this young man who was a few years younger than himself, and at this moment, his body was bursting with a steady stream of scorching murderous aura to fight against himself.

Lu Zhao deeply knows the power of the person in front of him, although this Zhao Wusheng is not as strong as he thought, but he is also a very tricky opponent, if the two of them fight with real swords, although Lu Zhao will not lose, it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of half a point.

"Eh, what's going on with you, you're acting like an enemy."

Seeing this, Longbow hurriedly got up and walked to Lu Zhao: "Brother Lu Zhao, people just ask you, how are you?" ”

Lu Zhao opened the hand of the longbow, in fact, this guy who looked harmless to humans and animals was the most difficult for Lu Zhao to deal with.

"General Zhao, Lu Zhao still has important things to do, so he will retire first."

"Wait!" Zhao Wusheng got up and stopped Lu Zhao, but the latter didn't seem to want to stop, but directly stretched out his hand to push the door out.

But before Lu Zhao's hand touched the door, he saw a cold light, and a short dagger flew from behind and shot straight at the wooden door in front of Lu Zhao.

"What do you mean, General?" Lu Zhao frowned slightly, and his right hand was already on the short knife on his waist.

Zhao Wusheng didn't answer, but slowly walked to Lu Zhao's side, he glanced at the longbow, raised his hand to pull out the short dagger inserted in the door, and raised his hand to draw a stroke towards his arm.

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, they looked at Zhao Wusheng's actions like this, and they didn't know what he meant.

"I know your identity and know that you must have ulterior motives for coming, at this moment there are often thieves at the border gates, the situation is even more turbulent, I Zhao someone has the pity of the old general and was entrusted with a heavy task, in this Hanlong Pass as a resident general has been three months and two days, I am sincere to the DPRK, and I take care of the people in the Guan, but why, there are still people in the court who doubt this matter, and exaggerate this matter, insulting my innocence!"

Zhao Wusheng said this aggressively, although Longbow wanted to say something, but those words always lingered on his lips and could not be said.

Lu Zhao withdrew the hand pressed on the knife, and instead reached into the pocket of his waist and turned out a medicine bottle.

He poured out a pill and crushed it, then grabbed Zhao Wusheng's injured hand and sprinkled the medicine powder evenly on it.

"Since you already know that the situation is turbulent and the people are suffering, how can you see internal troubles when you see only external troubles? How do you know that you will stay true to your original intention in the midst of this? ”

Lu Zhao's seat was not unreasonable, although Zhao Wusheng was angry, he still suppressed his anger.

At this moment, the longbow on the side finally spoke: "Actually, the situation is not clear now, the Hun army is attacking the border, and the people in the court want to seize the handle of the twelve generals here, General Wei is exhausted, and you are inexplicable, we don't know the cause and the consequences, if you let that group of people grab the handle, what will happen to the Guan Boulder here?" ”

Longbow's words made Zhao Wusheng a little ashamed, and he sighed in annoyance and squatted on the ground.

Seeing him in such pain, Miss Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her brother's shoulder.

"Two, you may not know, these days brother ......"

"Don't talk too much!" Zhao Wusheng scolded sharply, he raised his head and looked at Lu Zhao and said lightly: "Fang Cai, I thought that not only General Wei and even Yumen Pass had sent people, since they suspected me, I would really do it to them, but ......"

His voice sounded a little annoyed, and Lu Zhao and Longbow looked at each other for a while, and they didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, this little episode did not last long, and the people said that they had prepared the drinks, and several people did not say much, but came to the table and sat down on their own.

After three rounds of drinking, the estrangement between several people also disappeared with the strong drink, and Longbow also explained his identity to Lu Zhao and them.

Longbow's original life, Zhang Lan, is a young general under the command of General Wei Qing, because he is sleek and shrewd, so General Wei will often send him to remove some secret missions.

However, Zhang Lan lied to Lu Zhao and Miss Zhao, he was actually very good at riding and archery fighting, and he was almost not inferior to Zhao Wusheng, but he still pulled Lu Zhao down in this troubled water.

Hearing his words, although Lu Zhao was a little angry, he could also understand.

"As compensation, Brother Lu Zhao, I will accompany you to the place where General Wei is, and at the same time, I am almost going back to report the news."

Zhang Lan glanced at Zhao Wusheng, who was still tasting wine, but there was already a clear look of gratitude in his eyes.

It was not too early to pass the third round of drinking, although Lu Zhao intended to leave as soon as possible, but after all, this time was not very suitable, so he simply stayed in the mansion first.

Lu Zhao was lying on the bed, although he didn't work too hard today, but for some reason his body was still tired, he squinted at the roof and only felt a strong sense of loneliness.

He turned sideways slightly, thinking that he had been accompanied by Yu Zhan on his side when he traveled far away, but at this moment, he was ......

Thinking about it, Lu Zhao took a deep breath, he closed his eyes and no longer resisted the rolling sleep.

In a haze, Lu Zhao seemed to be back on the snowfield, and standing opposite him was the scorching young man, he was covered in blood, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and before Lu Zhao could make a move, the young man had already come to the front and swung a knife at his head and face.

Lu Zhao shuddered, he opened his eyes suddenly, the clothes behind his back were wet in an instant, he straightened up and gasped violently, and it took him a long time before he eased up, and he felt a little dry in his throat.

So he got up and came to the table, wanting to pour a cup of tea to moisten his throat, but the teacup was already empty, there was no way, Lu Zhao got dressed, carried the teapot, and planned to go out to find some water to drink, but he didn't want to, but he met Zhang Lan in the courtyard.

He sat on the stone bench in the middle of the courtyard, looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he turned his head to look at Lu Zhao: "Brother Lu, can't you sleep too?" ”

Lu Zhao raised the teapot in his hand: "It's just that I'm a little thirsty and want to come out and ask for a glass of water to drink." ”

Lu Zhao put the teapot in his hand on the table, turned around and sat next to Zhang Lan.

"Why don't you sleep, aren't you going to go with me tomorrow?"

Zhang Lan shook her head: "No, I just remembered some things, and I couldn't sleep with some boredom." ”

At this moment, Zhang Lan's expression was unusually lonely, and Lu Zhao looked at him and felt a little uncomfortable.

He had some difficulty associating this complaining fellow with the giggling longbow from before. 】

"Do you say that the situation outside the Cypriot is the same, and the people outside the Cypriot seem to be suffering unspeakably?"

Lu Zhao looked at the bright moon and shook his head: "Who knows?" ”

The two sat opposite each other in silence, and I don't know how long it took for Zhang Lan to suddenly sneeze, and the two remembered the fact that they were sitting in the snow.

"Okay, go back and rest early, I have to hurry tomorrow." As he spoke, he subconsciously grabbed the placket of his clothes.

Lu Zhao also felt a little cold, so he simply forgot that he was thirsty, and turned around and returned to the house.

I don't know if it was because it was a little cold outside, or because Zhang Lan's words distracted him, and Lu Zhao slept very soundly this night.
