Chapter 784: Xiao Zhaoli
At the beginning of the day, the sky is full of stars.
Liu Lan and the three of them went out of the city according to the instructions of the shopkeeper and kept looking for the east, walked for three or five miles, and finally saw a pillar standing on the official road, with two wooden planks at the upper end of the pillar, that is, Huan Biao, as mentioned earlier, this thing is an ancient relic, that is, the so-called road sign in our mouth, and the direction indicated by one of the signs can reach Xiao Zhaoli.
Finally found Xiao Zhaoli, some people got off the official road and went on the dirt road, all the way, soon a village came into view, looking up like a pergola, Liu Lan had already seen the prototype of the village by the moonlight. The village is surrounded by green wheat fields and mulberry trees, and the walls can be seen faintly in the ditch, these are for anti-theft, the whole Xiao Zhao is rectangular, although I don't know what the reason is, but whether it is Xiao Zhao Li or he has been to, the rectangle is the majority, and Xiangping City, Jixian County and even Luoyang City are also rectangular, curious, if there is a chance Liu Lan really wants to find someone who understands whether this layout is a coincidence or a major feature of this era.
There are about 100 households in Xiaozhaoli, mostly adobe thatched houses, and the county on both sides of the straight road is connected to the households, and the neat and tidy pattern of the houses arranged in the alleys is different.
added a whip, came to Xiao Zhaoli, and after continuing to walk, he suddenly found a Zhuang Huhan in front of him carrying a hammer and walking towards the village.
met the villagers in Xiao Zhaoli, and asked him if there was such a person as Zhao Yun in Xiao Zhaoli, if so, let him lead the way, not save the effort of detouring the road, and even go directly to Zhao Yun, Liu Lan immediately greeted him in the back. said: "Wait a minute, big brother in front, I'll ask you about something!" ”
Xiang Yong, who was in a hurry, suddenly heard someone behind him shouting, "Ask you about something", suddenly turned around, and looked fixedly, but there were three burly men, two of whom were bearded men. The tiger's whiskers stood up, led the horse's hairlock, and came slowly, of course he didn't understand that this was to show respect.
This villager is just an honest farmer, and when he sees that every one of the three of them is good-looking, especially the two fierce and vicious appearances around Liu Lan, you don't need to guess to think that these three people must be the kind of brave and ruthless people, and they rush forward without looking back. This is still a long way from Xiao Zhaoli, and no one will hear even if you call someone for help.
Liu Lan saw that he quickened his footwork, and he was anxious, so he also quickened his pace and shouted at the same time: "Brother Zhuang in front, we are not wicked people, I just want to ask you about your little brother surnamed Zhao Mingyun Zilong in your little Zhao?" ”
The three of them inquired about Zhao Yun, and the Zhuang man's heart tightened, not only did he ignore them, but he sped up his pace. His expression was even more panicked, as if the name 'Zhao Yun' was a devil.
In vain, I could hear the 'sound of hooves' behind me. Expecting that the three of them must have chased after them on horseback, they were even more panicked in their hearts, and they ran towards the village as if they were flying, and while running forward, they frequently looked back, although there was anger on their faces, but they were more panicked and annoyed.
Liu Lan and the three looked at each other. You look at me, I look at you, I don't understand that this is just asking you about a person, so it is like encountering a bandit who is blocking the road and running away, you must know that Liu Lan and Zhang Feisuo are riding in a thousand miles of horses, how fast they run. Even if the dirt road in this Xiao Zhaoli is more difficult, it is only a matter of time before he catches up with the farmer, but what makes Liu Lan surprised is that the two treasure horses he and Zhang Fei rode not only did not get closer to the villagers, but the distance was getting farther and farther, God, if you don't know that these are two treasure horses, you really think that this is riding a turtle, but it can be seen how fast the villagers in front of you are. Nima, what kind of person is this, no, this is simply Usain Bolt!
While sighing at the former's speed in his heart, he added a whip and rode quickly towards the man, wanting to ask what was going on! Liu Lan, who was chasing with all his might, quickly saw something from the man's expression of frequent return, could it be that he regarded me as a villain who did all kinds of evil! hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zhuanghu, don't be afraid, we are not evildoers, I just want to ask you if I know Zhao Yunqi!" ”
The farmer ignored the three people behind him, just blindly buried his head and ran towards the village, and soon, he disappeared in front of him in a blink of an eye, and it turned out that he had entered the village.
The three of them came to the front of the horse and dismounted, and were about to lead the horse into the village from the inside gate, not wanting the villagers before they had been shouting in Xiao Zhao Li, and immediately more than a dozen sturdy farmers poured out from several households, holding more farm tools in their hands, although the faces of more than a dozen farmers in front of them were frightened, but at this time they embraced each other, and they also strengthened a lot of courage, and came to the front of the door together to raise the 'weapon' in their hands, and guarded the village gate.
The road was blocked by the villagers, and he could only come forward to explain the misunderstanding, but he still didn't understand where the misunderstanding was, could it be that the villagers who fled in the desert before really mistook themselves for robbers, Liu Lan smiled bitterly in his heart, arched his hand, and said: "Fellow villagers of Zhao Village, there is no malice in the following, I just want to ask you about Zhao Yunqi can be here!" Below is the deceased of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, and I am here to see you today!"
The farmer ran all the way back to the village in order to call for help as soon as possible, although he was tired at this time, he was a lot stronger, his waist straightened, and he said: "We don't have Zhao Yun in Zhao Village, you are in the wrong place, go quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." ”
Is it in the wrong place? After all, Xiao Er just said that Zhao Yun might be in this village, but he didn't say that he must be in Zhao Village. Liu Lan's heart was full of regret, but he still bowed and said to the villagers: "That's bothering everyone!" With a sigh, he was just about to turn around, and suddenly his heart was blessed, and he looked back and asked, "If you are not in Zhao Village, dare to ask if you have ever heard of Zhao Yun?" If you know, you will definitely be rewarded! ”
"Haven't heard of it! If you have nothing else to do, then leave quickly, and if you have bad intentions, then don't blame us for being polite! The villager sneered and straightened up the farm tool in his hand, and the people around him did the same, and the hand holding the farm tool was even tighter.
It seems that Zhao Yun is really not in this village, but he is not here, so where should I go to find him! Turning to leave, Liu Lan, who had not walked a few steps, only listened to Zhang Fei on the side. Said: "Lord, it's getting late, where are I going to rest?" Why don't you talk to the villagers and disturb ...... for one night?"
Looking up, the stars are dotted with the waning moon, and the city gate has long been closed. I can't stay in the hotel anymore, but thinking that the people in Zhao Village are obviously hostile to my group and are unusually guarded, they obviously won't agree to stay overnight, but if they can't stay here temporarily, they will definitely stay in the wilderness......
Liu Lan thought about it in his heart, after all, the three of them had no malicious intentions, and if they had a clear conscience, even if they asked for it, what did it matter. If these villagers agree, it is better, if they do not, they will sleep in the wilderness, and they should try their luck anyway. made up his mind, turned around and said, "It's dark at this time, I don't know if I can spend the night in Zhao Village?" As he spoke, he took out some five baht coins and said, "These are all nightstay money!" ”
The villagers knew that the three of them would not stop there in order to catch Zilong, and they expected them to go and return. As for staying in the village to stay, it was just a change of law to sneak into the village to catch Zilong, and a sturdy man among the villagers sneered: "I think you are thieves who don't die." If you want to make trouble in the village to find Zilong's brothers, you still pretend that you don't know that Zilong is here! As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd urgently.
The villagers around him echoed him with a strong voice, and when they saw his eyes, they immediately understood, and tightened their hands on the farm tools. Always ready to get your hands dirty.
"Let's count to three, if you don't know each other, don't blame me for being rude!" Before, the villager had already begun to give him an ultimatum to the three of them: "You are nothing more than the remnants of those Yuan Shao's soldiers yesterday, and you want to arrest Brother Zilong and go back, even if those more than ten people died yesterday, what about the three of you here!" As he spoke. The villagers have begun to scatter and separate, faintly surrounding the three of them.
Liu Lan can now be 100% sure that Zhao Yun is in the village, he is happy and surprised in his heart, happy that he is crooked, surprised, naturally he heard that the Yuan family soldiers have come, seeing that these villagers are going to surround him, he did not dare to delay, and hurriedly explained: "I am Liu Lan Liu Deran, the commander of Xiangping County, Liaodong, and Zilong are close friends. ”
"Haha, you guys are really good at it, but we're not stupid people!"
The sturdy man sneered, "Since you have come, don't think about going back." As soon as the words fell, the surrounding villagers waved their farming tools and attacked them.
The villagers are extremely sensitive, and they shot mercilessly, forcing the three of them to fall for a while, and Liu Lan and the three of them knew that Zhao Yun was in the village, of course, they couldn't afford to fight, how could they think that these villagers would fight when they said they would, without the slightest hesitation, seeing that they had dodged several fatal blows, these villagers still did not give up, and they were forced to have no choice but to use their blades to resist, only parrying but not daring to fight back seriously.
The three of them defended with their backs, guarding the surroundings impermeable, without any flaws, and the villagers exchanged glances together, and immediately reached a tacit understanding, not fighting like headless flies, but in an instant, there was a tacit cooperation between attack and defense.
The scene in front of him made Liu Lan sigh lightly, although these people are villagers who farm the land, and the blades are farm tools, but even these ordinary farm tools are also tiger and tiger in their hands, and they are meticulous between attack and defense, clear and orderly, advance and move, and defend the position, obviously they have already been proficient in the method of forming formations, I am afraid that only Zhao Zilong can teach them such a method of formation in this Zhao Village!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, we are really Zilong's old friends, please stop!" He said while resisting the shovels, 61s, hoes and other agricultural tools in the hands of the villagers.
The villagers didn't pay attention to him, but instead used the power of the formation to kill the three of them frequently. Not only did they not stop, but they made frequent killing moves, mercilessly to kill the three people, if they were replaced by him, Liu Lan and his party would not be merciful, none of these three people were the ones who suffered losses, but at this time they were different, the three of them knew that the villagers were mistaking themselves for Yuan Shao's soldiers, in the end this was just a misunderstanding.
Liu Lan and the three of them hid dangerously, only listening to the sound of gold and iron and the sound of pain and screams of pain one after another, this side just fell and that side rose again, although the villagers advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, but how could they be the opponents of the three, the moment they figured out the way, the three of them beat most of the villagers to the ground.
It's just that he didn't give up after seeing the villagers being knocked to the ground, and continued to get up and fight, so that the endless competition that could only be defended finally aroused Liu Lan's three-point anger, sideways to resist the 61 heads smashed by the villagers, and beat him to the ground while avoiding it.
Liu Lan stole a glance at Zhang Fei and Xu Chu while knocking down one person, and the two of them were just like themselves at this time, extremely embarrassed, and thought that if he was a step slower just now, he would definitely be 'shot in the head' by the villager, and he couldn't die anymore.
They are so ruthless, if they are merciful, it is true that the injury is a small death, let alone see Zhao Yun at that time, even the sun tomorrow will not want to see you again! In a flash of thought, Liu Lan shouted to the two: "Shoot with all your might, but don't harm their lives!" While shouting to the two of them, he leaned to the left, as if rushing towards the dirty farmer on the left, and when the man showed a panicked look, he showed a meaningful smile to him.
At the moment when he used his hoe to hold his body and was about to face himself, he saw him smile strangely, and then he turned to the side of his feet slightly, and actually fell into a big bend, turning to the person on his side, and it was not until this moment that the villagers found out that he had fallen for him, and his target was not himself, but Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan was going to come to help him, but Liu Lan turned sideways not only did not go towards him, but approached him, wanting to resist, but he was in a hurry.
The dragon slaying knife in Liu Lan's hand immediately slashed at his hoe, and the tremor of 'Weng' made the man's heart frightened, only to feel that his wrist was sore, and the tiger's mouth was faintly painful.
This person closed his eyes, not only did he not beg for mercy but looked like he was going to die generously, Liu Lan secretly praised in his heart that he was a man and said: "You people are too troublesome, let's sleep for a while, and then I will see Zilong, and then I will come to make amends with you!" ”
The hand made a knife gesture, and the blow was struck on the farmer's neck, and he immediately fell to the ground softly.
"Zhao Shan......"
Seeing that Zhao Shan was knocked down by Liu Lan, the dirt-faced man said that he had been killed by him, he was angry and anxious, and while running and shouting, he held his hoe and smashed Luo on his head, but he wanted to exchange his life for a life.
How could Liu Lan really fight to the death with him, and flashed to the side the moment before he rushed over, avoiding his entanglement. And after Xu Zhang and the others listened to his instructions, they all did the same as him, knocking the villagers out one by one!
The villagers were already panicked when they were killed, how could they have advanced and retreated before, and they desperately looked for him and the three of them to avenge their friends and relatives.
Although some people fought for revenge, others quietly retreated, but they secretly ran back to the village to move the rescuers. (To be continued......)
