Chapter 8: Another Village
After Jia Xu said goodbye to Hua Wenxuan and He Yan, he rushed to Wancheng to talk about Zhang Xiu in the starry night. Hua Wenxuan and He Yan each went back to their rooms to rest for one night, Hua Wenxuan suddenly unloaded his burden and slept sweetly, recalling in his dream that he was pretending to be coaxing and deceiving during the day, and he really had a bit of a shadow of a lobbyist in his mind.
After sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, Hua Wenxuan packed up and left the post house, but saw that He Yan was already waiting in the carriage, but his eyes were unconsciously crooked to the side, Hua Wenxuan was secretly surprised: Why didn't you urge me to get up today?
The carriage was swaying on the forest path, Hua Wenxuan wanted to make eye contact with He Yan several times, but he always dodged him, and the two did not talk, Hua Wenxuan remembered the feeling of pressing his hand yesterday, and there was still an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and it was not easy to take the initiative to say something, so he was silent.
I could only hear the carriage squeaking on this dirt road, and before I knew it, half a day had passed, and Cao Pi's guards came to report that Wancheng could already be seen from a distance, so He Yan ordered him to take a break and wait for him to freshen up.
Hua Wenxuan jumped off the carriage and climbed high to look into the distance, sure enough, he could already see the appearance of the city wall from a distance, a turbulent river of more than 1,000 zhang beside the forest road flowed from the side of the road to Wancheng, passing through the city, and asked the coachman about it, it turned out to be a tributary of the Han River: the White River. Nowadays, there is also a white river in Nanyang City, but it is far less than the white wave and hundred-foot river in front of you, and there are huge sails and big ships docked on the edge of Linwan City from a distance, and it is really the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with abundant products and merchants everywhere, and water and land hubs come and go, thinking that Nanyang City, where you are located, is now only a third- or fourth-tier city, Hua Wenxuan can't help but sigh.
Just as he was looking, there were suddenly a few reprimands from He Yan and a few rough ridicules from the riverside, Hua Wenxuan frowned and drove down the river with Cao Pi's guards.
I saw He Yan holding a sword and pointing at a flat boat in the river, several big men on the flat boat were laughing loudly, the first one was about thirty years old, naked and naked, only a few pieces of colorful satin, hair loosely coiled behind his head, but tied with a green ribbon, dressed like a flower Tai Sui, holding a single knife, hanging a pair of iron halberds on his waist, while laughing and splashing water with a single knife to He Yan, his expression was very disrespectful.
I can't think of molesting a woman from a good family... Ahh The matter of a young man from a good family really happened to me! Hua Wenxuan rushed to He Yan's side with a smile and protected him behind him.
"Don't be afraid! I'm here! ”
Before he finished speaking, He Yan pushed Hua Wenxuan aside and scolded:
"Nameless rats! How dare you insult me! There's a kind of going ashore to fight it out! ”
Hua Wenxuan was pushed and shouted! Fifteen or sixteen years old is not small! It's up to you to cope!
The brocade-clothed man on the boat smiled, and ordered the boat to come to the shore, not waiting for the shore, the brocade-clothed man jumped down, stood on the shallows, and shook the knife towards He Yan in his right hand.
"Come on! Let Uncle Ben teach you how to survive in troubled times! ”
He Yan was even more annoyed, regardless of the stumbling of the river, he pulled out his sword and rushed up, and attacked directly with a few swords, the swords and swords seemed to take people's lives, and the man in brocade held a single knife to separate the attack, but there was no smile on his face, and there was a trace of coldness.
"You white baby is so vicious? The sword takes me harm, is it not my life? ”
He Yan didn't answer, a cold light covered the man's body, seized the opportunity to grab the back of the opponent's knife with his left hand, and poked a sword into the brocade man's flank, but unfortunately it only hit the silk on his body, He Yan pulled back, the sword blade slashed under the wrist of the brocade man holding the knife, if he didn't abandon the knife, he was afraid that the wrist would not be protected, the brocade man instantly took off the knife and a harrier turned over to avoid the sword, He Yan saw him abandon the knife to protect himself, and the smile just climbed up the corner of his mouth, only to see the man turn over and pull out the halberd on his waist, and patted a halberd in the middle of He Yan's side shoulder, Knock him over in shallow water.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hua Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward to scoop He Yan out of his hand, and Cao Pi's guards drew their swords to separate the brocade-clothed man aside. Hua Wenxuan scooped He Yan up and hugged him to the shore, and the blow was so powerful that although the man in brocade had shown mercy and only used the back of the halberd instead of the moon blade, he also slapped He Yan in the water and drank a lot of water.
Hua Wenxuan put He Yanping on the grass on the shore, patted his face but did not react, he was in a hurry, he tore He Yan's robe, and pressed He Yan's chest according to the cardiopulmonary compression technique taught in the book through the inner lining, and Hua Wenxuan felt that it was wrong without pressing it a few times, why was it soft in his palm, and he was surprised, He Yan choked out a few mouthfuls of river water and opened his eyes, and saw Hua Wenxuan kneeling aside, pressing his chest with both palms, and for a moment of annoyance, a palm slapped Hua Wenxuan's face firmly.
Hua Wenxuan was half-kneeling like a spinning top and was pumped in a circle, looking at He Yan blankly.
"You! You ........."
Hua Wenxuan's mouth grew up, and he couldn't speak, He Yan had already raised the sword in his hand and went straight to his throat,
"If you dare to say more, you will die here!"
He Yan's face was flushed with red tides, and he didn't know whether he was annoyed or shy or choked by the river.
The man in brocade and Cao Pi's guards were also stunned, Rao was far away, and he couldn't hear what the two said.
He Yan glared at Hua Wenxuan hatefully, wrapped the robe that had been torn off most of it tightly, raised his sword and pointed at the man in brocade, and scolded angrily: "It's a man, so I'll come again!" ”
The man in brocade sneered, his expression was very contemptuous,
"What a clever little baby, Lao Tzu just stopped by to Wancheng to explore the truth and reality, and I don't have time to whirl with you, so let's do it today!"
After speaking, the man in brocade was about to turn around and return to the boat, and when he came to the side of the boat, He Yan threw the sword in his hand violently, and directly rubbed the man's ear and inserted it into the mast of the boat, causing the big man who was wearing onlookers to scold, and jumped down one by one, rushing to He Yan and others, Cao Pi's guards saw that there were many people on the other side, and they protected Hua Wenxuan and He Yan and retreated to the shore, and the coachman next to the carriage in the distance didn't know where to hide.
The man in brocade pulled out the sword on the mast and held it in his hand, turned around, and his eyes were already full of murderous intent.
Hua Wenxuan saw that he couldn't run away, but he calmed down, dragged behind alone, first asked Cao Pi's guards to protect He Yan to the shore, and led this group of big men to stand on the shallows, and in a blink of an eye, they were already surrounded.
The brocade-clothed man stepped forward with a sneer, "It's been a long time since I stopped killing, and I forgot what it feels like to kill!" He threw the sword back to He Yan in the distance, danced the single knife in his hand, and his eyes moved from the blade to Hua Wenxuan in front of him.
Hua Wenxuan's heart was puffing and puffing, and while secretly scolding He Yan in his heart, why did he provoke this group of evil stars, but at the same time, he was still reminiscing about the soft feeling in his hands, and this state of mind was very contradictory. He straightened up, pretending to be fearless,
"What kind of ability is it to bully more and less, and have the courage to let us call people too?"
"Joke!" The man in brocade sneered, "What our family is doing is killing people and stealing goods, and the business of robbing the road across the river, where is there still this kind of truth you said!" ”
The man in brocade danced a fancy style, stood still and was about to step forward, and told in his mouth: "Die in the hands of my brocade thief, it is not in vain that you come to this world for a lifetime, and come to Lao Tzu for revenge in the next life!" With that, he rushed forward.
When Hua Wenxuan heard this, he chuckled in his heart, he was already half cold, and just about to wave his hand to stop it, the man had already rushed over.
Hua Wenxuan knew that he had no power to restrain the chicken, and he had no ability to parry, if he wanted to get out of trouble, he could only count on the unexpected gain of this crossing, thinking of this, he was in his heart, if he wanted to die, he would die!
Hua Wenxuan inserted his hands straight into his hands, and although he didn't know how to exert his strength, he still urged his whole body to move towards his palms.
I saw a bright electric spark on the shallows, and the fish, shrimp, crabs, and catfish that could not escape jumped out of the water from the water, and each trembled as if they were electrocuted. Looking at the group of people around Hua Wenxuan, one by one their legs and feet were numb and paralyzed into the water, Rao is brocade man was strong and strong, and his legs were numb by electricity, relying on a single knife inserted into the shallow sand, barely collapsed at the moment, his eyes were already a little bloodshot, and his lips couldn't stop trembling.
The two people on the shore were also dumbfounded, but they didn't know what was happening. I only saw that the water surface around Hua Wenxuan's body was shining with a golden light at that moment, and countless blue silk thread-like folds of air seemed to be shocked from the water and climbed onto everyone's legs and feet, and in an instant, the circle of people around him was numb.
Hua Wenxuan gasped and thought: This trick actually worked! Thanks to watching people carry a battery electric fish in the countryside when I was a child, I have learned and sold it now.
The man in brocade supported his body, his eyes were fixed on Hua Wenxuan, and he couldn't control his lips when he had something to say.
Hua Wenxuan naturally knew that they couldn't move for a while, and slowly walked up to the man with the river water, "Jinfan thief? Are you Ganning Ganxingba? ”
Hua Wenxuan saw the surprised expression on the man's face, and knew that he must have guessed correctly.
Oh, my God! Gan Xingba! In the future, the first fierce man in Soochow who is as famous as Zhang Liao is in the camp! Why did you let me meet on the edge of this Wan City?
In surprise, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance came from far and near, Hua Wenxuan turned around and looked, but it was Jia Xu who came with a team of elite horsemen to answer.
Jia Xu got the news from the city gate guard, saying that a horseman came to ask for help, and said that the Han envoy's car was robbed by bandits, Jia Xu also secretly complained in his heart, Zhang Xiu was just persuaded here, and the envoy died in Wancheng again, and then it was really a dilemma! Jia Xu didn't have time to report to Zhang Xiu, so he brought a team of people to respond, who knew that he happened to see Hua Wenxuan's hand just revealed from a distance, and Jia Xu was also shocked in his heart.
Jia Xu restrained the military horse, commanded the sergeant to go into the water and tied up Gan Ning and the servants, and hurriedly checked He Yan's injury, and saw Hua Wenxuan coming from the water, and hurriedly bowed down.
"I'm scared of Wen He, are you two okay?"
Hua Wenxuan waved his hand, pretending to answer easily: "Don't be afraid of the river bandits, don't bother, don't bother!" He Yan snorted coldly and walked straight to the carriage.
Jia Xu scolded the sergeant, "Tie it tight!" Dare to rob the envoys of the Han Dynasty and escort them back to the city to be beheaded! ”
Hua Wenxuan was excited, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Go back first, I still have something to ask!" ”
Jia Xu hurriedly nodded yes.
Hua Wenxuan had a small calculation in his heart, this Gan Xingba is a talent, I have to think about it, I can't take this general's life so easily.
Hua Wenxuan didn't go back to the carriage, and asked for a horse to ride with Jia Xu all the way to Wancheng, so as not to mention the soft thing with He Yan's eyes, which became more and more embarrassing.
After a short time, the group entered the city of Wancheng, and suddenly opened up in front of them, the bustling market was full of people, camel caravans and merchants of various costumes walked the streets and alleys, the blacksmith shops everywhere came from the clanging smashing sound, and all kinds of weapons and armor were stacked on the board carts and were about to be pulled into the barracks.
Jia Xu enthusiastically introduced the situation of Wancheng, but Hua Wenxuan was a little disdainful in his heart, not to mention what Wancheng was like at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I still know what this place will look like more than 1,000 years later!
After walking for a long time, the group came to the school field outside the Chengdong Mansion, a team of guards was divided into two rows, and a general wearing chain mail and a purple and gold crown was standing in the open field, holding a black iron spear, and the blood-red tassel wrapped around half of the barrel of the gun, which looked very powerful.
Jia Xu leaned sideways and told Hua Wenxuan, "My general originally wanted to demote the prime minister, but the prime minister died violently, and Yu Zihuan's temperament didn't understand, so although he agreed to this matter, he was still worried in his heart, and Wenxuan didn't want to provoke him!" ”
Hua Wenxuan nodded lightly, this embroidered folklore "Northland Spear King"! I was still a little excited to see my face today!
Just as he was thinking about it, a swarthy spear poked straight from a distance, piercing through the gap between Jia Xu and Hua Wenxuan, and the two of them were startled to raise their hooves and neigh, and actually lifted Hua Wenxuan off their horses.
What is this embroidery for? Hua Wenxuan was shocked!
