It was evening, and the withered trees were a little bleak and cold in the winter sunset, but the atmosphere in the valley was very warm.

As soon as the oath was made, the leaders of all parties discussed important matters, and then a banquet was held, and Zhang Yan also practiced it for everyone as the leader of the alliance.

On the top of the mountain, when Cai Nu came over, Zhao Yun was squatting on the side of the cliff looking at the scene of the cottage.

With a glittering silver spear on his knee, Zhao Yun's eyes were a little distracted at the bottom of the mountain, and one hand was half-holding the green grass that was rooted in the mountain rock in front of him.

Cai Nu stood beside him and looked down.

Now the banquet has entered half, some leaders because of the long road, or anxious, set off in advance to prepare, from time to time someone in the village will ride away on horseback, turn into a black spot and disappear at the end of the mountain road, occasionally Zhang Yan sent a few leaders out of the hall, talking and laughing, waiting for those people to ride their horses away, Zhang Yan will always pass by a few women when he walks back, he will also pretend to be old-fashioned to take advantage of the teasing for a while, provoking others to compliment, and then laugh in the woman's shy begging for mercy to go in.

In the rest of the place, there are people laughing from time to time, and the atmosphere is warm, but in the remote corners, there are also people who are in a hurry, talking to each other, embellishing a sense of urgency in the seemingly harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

"Sir, I didn't call the Emperor and the Queen of Earth when I swore before......"

The voice was low and solemn, Cai Nu turned his head away, and saw that Zhao Yun's somewhat immature and handsome side face showed a touch of confusion, and wondered: "Why?" ”

"The name has been changed, but it also has all the words, if it is really for the gods to hear...... I don't want the Emperor to think I'm insincere. Just here, I used the spring grass as a medium and swore to the emperor that in this life, Yunding should work hard for the people in the world. ”

"Good thing."

Cai replied angrily, turned his head to look at the sunset, and smiled with a smile on his face.

Speaking of which, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he seems to think the same way.

We must sacrifice ourselves for righteousness, we must work hard for the common people, and we must let everyone in the world settle down.

But later I found out that this time made others have the ambition to lift up, but it was just child's play.

The uncles and elders of the Xun family, including my father, thought about the Han in their hearts, but they still died in the party.

The emperor is mediocre, the court is corrupt, and all his good ideas are shattered in the intricacies of the court and the fact that his relatives died in vain.

After that, he shrank his head and delved into the Four Books and Five Classics, and the hermit life was not bad, but it was not a manifestation of discouragement and powerlessness.

I never thought that one day I would stand in the den of bandits and bandits, and ask for a glimmer of life in the mediocre court.

And the heart that has never been uplifted again, since persuading Yang Feng, seems to have regained the momentum of his youth, and these days he actually hopes that there will be more young people like Zhao Yun.

Just as Liu Deran spread rumors and tried to guide the people to do something when the Han was at stake, he didn't want to slack off.

"Sir, you see that he Zhang Yan can rule so many people, I can't do what he does, but...... Can do one piece to make one piece. The master also said that after learning martial arts, he must take the common people in the world as his own responsibility, and if he can't do it, at least he can't harm others with martial arts. I don't hurt anyone, I just don't think that's enough...... But I don't know what to do, and I definitely don't have the same opportunity as Zhang Yan, you have read the book, you must know, I want you to teach me...... In the future, I will be grateful. ”

Since Zhao Yun worshipped the teacher, Tong Yuan in addition to teaching marksmanship, occasionally told him about the past, the struggle between the rivers and lakes, grievances and hatreds, when he talked about it, his face was dignified, the people of the rivers and lakes, he had not read any books, but some of the principles of life were actually understood very thoroughly, Tong Yuan talked about those experiences and anecdotes, originally wanted to educate Zhao Yun about what he could and could not do, Zhao Yun remembered it in his heart, and occasionally took it out and pondered it carefully.

He didn't know much about it originally, but in the second half of last year, he began to charge the Yan family with Tong Yuan, and he saw it more, and he also had a rough outline of good and evil in his heart.

It's just that he didn't expect that one day, the master who has a clear distinction between right and wrong will join the ranks of thieves, although it is a righteous and awe-inspiring act that sounds like asking for the people's life, but he actually doesn't believe in the oath of more than 100 people just now.

After all, most of them are bandits who have burned, killed, plundered and done all kinds of evil in the past, and some have changed their names, so they may not have the idea of "Zhao Long's oath, what does I Zhao Yun do" like him.

He asked at this time, because he knew that Cai Nu was extraordinary and insightful, but he also knew that Cai Nu was doing things for these people now, although he was a guard, the two of them didn't get along for long, and it was not good to directly say that he didn't believe that these people could succeed, which was too disappointing, but he was a little dazed in his heart, and he always felt that he couldn't find a little future if he stayed here.

"Thank you for what, you and I have different paths, and this world is ...... What I'm saying may not be right, I can't teach you. ”

Cai Nu smiled, squatted down on Zhao Yun's shoulder, and teased with a smile: "Isn't someone trying to teach you how to be a man?" Is the wooden stump still there? Show it to me. ”

“…… At. ”

Zhao Yun suddenly took out the wooden slip from his arms with some embarrassment, and the embarrassment did not come from Liu Zheng, but when he met Zou Qi in the past, the other party snatched the wooden slip and read it, and wrote the same words on the other side of the wooden slip, this man and woman said "teach you to be a man" are completely different things, and he didn't know for a while that Sister Zou was nervous, and she wanted to emulate her master to do it, or was she really teasing herself...... Anyway, it's uncomfortable.

Occasionally, he would grind the quilt at night and think about the things of men and women, and suffer crimes.

But I couldn't help but think in my mind, I heard that Sister Zou went to Kyoto, maybe I could meet it this time.

"Since your master let you keep it as a certificate, is it possible that you still can't see what your master means? It's a good way. ”

Cai Nu took the wooden slip and pointed to the cottage with a smile, "Look at these people...... It's not a good home. Together, it's just a stopgap measure. Don't look at their hippie smiling faces, what do they say for the sake of the big man who never dies, but I also saw it at the time, a few people moved their mouths without any sound, and some didn't shout at all...... These are okay, but the ones I am most afraid of are those who shouted, and in the end they regretted it because of all kinds of messy things, or even turned back. That's why it's impossible to prevent it. ”

Cai Nu is busy and chatting and laughing on weekdays, Zhao Yun also saw it in his eyes, but he didn't expect the other party to be so positive and have such pessimistic thoughts, so he also comforted: "Sir, I just saw that Brother Shiren has changed a little after they swore an oath. Talking, doing things, is a lot more serious. The same goes for everyone else in the stockade. ”

If you take it seriously, you will feel that this oath is very heavy. With a burden on your shoulders, how can you not be serious? ”

Cai angrily flipped the wooden slip a few times, and then rubbed his fingertips on the handwriting on it, "These people live a simple life, but they are actually quite good." I hope you do the same. Instead of being disturbed by some messy things...... Also, this thing is too big, and it is human nature to have something on your mind. Actually, I was thinking about it...... You said that the owner of the eight people rushed up that day, what kind of mentality? Do you really feel invincible? ”

"I don't know ......"

Zhao Yun shook his head, his mood suddenly complicated, "Maybe...... Liu Gongzi's challenge letter to the master is very conceited, maybe a person like him is nothing. ”

"He's not a god. It wasn't that day that Gu An didn't cry after the fight, and then he went to Wancheng, and I heard that he was still bleeding and crying. ”

Seeing Zhao Yun's hesitant face, Cai smiled angrily, "It's not a rumor, Mr. Jian has sent a letter, it's true...... In fact, Yang Feng and the others were able to convince Zhang Yan that the owner had set a lot of examples. Maybe...... To be like him is. ”

"That's true."

Suddenly a strong voice came from behind them, and the two turned their heads, and when they saw Ping Han and Tong Yuan coming from the forest, they also stood up.

Cai Nu stepped over, Zhao Yun took the wooden slab, thought about it, pulled out the grass, solemnly tied it to the wooden slab and hid it, and walked over.

After three rounds of drinking, some people have dispersed, Pinghan Tongyuan is to ask Cai Nu to go over and finalize it, when he came over, he heard what Cai Nu said, at this time everyone walked back, Pinghan continued with a smile just now: "That Liu Gongzi can have this kind of kung fu at such an age, it definitely took a lot of effort, he is not famous on weekdays, but he also took the lead in the chaos of Taiping Dao...... I think I have always wanted to serve the court in my heart, and I admire such a tenacious character. ”

"It's the same on the inside and out."

Tong Yuan helped Zhao Yun tie the Yajiao gun to Zhao Yun's back, and his somewhat elderly face was smiling: "In the past, I heard that Zicai said those four righteous words, and I have always had the heart to see Deran, but I have been missing it since then." Last night, Pinghan was counted, but the old man's wish was fulfilled. Haha, this trip to Beijing, even if you die, you have no regrets. ”

"Master......"

Zhao Yun was stunned, Tong Yuan waved his hand and smiled: "After this oath, it seems to be closed together, but most of them are detached. It's just to teach the teacher by word and deed, and since he has made an oath, he has to do it. When you get close to the Beijing Division, the situation will be more complicated, and I want to remind you that you should be careful in everything at that time, and don't lose your life. ”

"Xiongfu Gong's words are wrong."

Ping Han laughed and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, "Since I pulled you over, I will definitely take care of it." No matter how complicated the situation is, as long as a certain family still has a breath, it will definitely protect you. ”

"Yes, Xiongfu Gong, since you lost to Ping Han, it's better to be a defeated general and obey orders at this time."

Cai Nu also smiled: "What's more, with Cai Mou, now that we are in the blood alliance, what we are doing is different from Taiping Dao, do you think we have little chance of success?" ”

"Haha, it's the old man's gaffe. However, when you go to Jingshi, you still have to call the old man Tong Leopard in front of outsiders...... The old man didn't want to implicate his family. ”

Cai Nu laughed angrily, "Does it still take this to return to the hometown?" Xiongfu Gong, you can't avoid ......"

"Haha, I'm a little confused...... Let's go, let's go, Zilong, you take care of Cai Gongzi. ”

Tong Yuan walked at the front with a smile, and Zhao Yun looked at his footsteps, but suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Master was nervous......

Soon after, Cai Nu deduced the process again in the council hall, in fact, this time Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, and Su Gu listened, in the end, everyone was nervous, so they couldn't help but want to hear Cai Nu's arrangements again, and those arrangements were no matter how small, it was completely feasible, listening to Cai Nu's head talking, everyone could also feel at ease.

After Cai Nu finished speaking, Zhang Yan took a deep breath, then looked at everyone, and suddenly raised his finger and smiled: "Yang Feng, you said that if you couldn't think about it at that time, you would do something with everyone's knife, wouldn't it be so troublesome to run around?" ”

These words were abrupt, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Yang Feng also understood the other party's whimsical and insecure thoughts, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, why don't you say that you let people surround the cottage and lock us up here, it's a hundred." ”

"Hah! That's right. I'm strong! And together, we are stronger! Nothing to worry about! ”

Zhang Yan laughed, then took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Everyone, victory or defeat is in this move!" We will wait for a hundred generations or leave a stench for 10,000 years, it all depends on the present day! Don't forget this vow and never die! ”

Yang Feng and several people hugged their fists at the same time, "Don't die!" ”

The fun has finally passed, and things have finally begun......

In the early morning of the next day, as Zhang Yan, Yang Feng and others followed towards Fangcheng, Zhao Yun and Cai Nu were still a little sleepy in the carriage, and he didn't sleep all night, his spirit was not very good, and last night the master was also writing something on the lamp, but he didn't say it, which always made him a little uneasy.

But he was soon awakened by the earth-shattering noise.

He opened the car window, only to find that in the warm sunshine, the sky was drifting with fine snow, and in Fangcheng, countless people were pouring out, "I'm going with you, I'm going with you!" ”

He vaguely saw several familiar faces pouring out of the city gate with their heads, and looked at Cai Nu in slight surprise, and saw Cai Nu laughing, "The rumors of nearly two months are still effective......

He was slightly stunned, holding the Yajiao gun and being silent, just watching countless people pouring out from behind, his heart was also a little excited.

What can be done, it will be done......

Soon after, the troops were also separated from those people, and Mr. Cai said that these people were making a fuss and putting pressure on the imperial court by the way, and it was not certain how many people could maintain this enthusiasm until Luoyang.

He thought that his heart was a little heavy, and he didn't know how many people would die on the road, either because of food or because of other ......

And thinking back to some other changes in the strategy, I know that on this day, I am only afraid of Youzhou and Jizhou, and some killings have begun in many places.

Fight violence with violence, and kill the wicked with good intentions......

He didn't know if what he was doing was right or not, but after five days, he didn't think about it anymore, he picked up his spear, rode on a weak white horse, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he humiliated the county officials who had forbidden the people to come out and follow him outside the city of Anping.

At this time, the troops behind him had swelled from 10,000 people before leaving the village to 80,000.

That day, he was dressed in a bright horse, wearing a robe and armor, and finally attracted the first battle in his life after half an hour, listening to the scolding of the county lieutenant, he was very nervous, but he was also angry, he originally thought it would be a vicious battle, but the weak white horse sat down and held on, and he also held on, and within three moves, the county lieutenant was picked off the horse.

Seeing the county lieutenant die under the horse, he was speechless, but the earth-shattering roar behind him was cheering for him, and he was also excited, "Aren't you waiting for you to be in the same league as those ten permanent servants!" If you don't open the city gate yet, let me and other colleagues go to Luoyang to ask for their lives! ”

Soon after the words, the city gate was really opened, and the county order came out to surrender, and then countless people poured out, saying good things, or touting it, of course, there were also people who scolded the "chaotic ministers and thieves", but they were surrounded by people, and then I don't know what happened.

Although he was a little timid and scared in his heart, he also endured compliments and ridicule, but then he didn't have to go out of the horse, and went back and forth between the little white horse and Mr. Cai and Master every day, not only because the army was getting stronger and stronger, and some leaders were tempering their relatives, but also because he found that those compliments and abuses were meaningless, and he didn't need to go after consulting Mr. Cai.

After that, all the way to the southwest, crossing the river, crossing the mountain, some people died on the road, some people died in the rebellion, or died in the suppression, all kinds of things have happened, and I have heard of it, but because it is broken into parts, they move forward, but they have not heard that it is as bleak and tragic as the battle of Wancheng last year.

During the long journey, it was postponed, and it was not until February 13 that they arrived in Luoyang, and at this time, in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, countless people surrounded there, and a duel full of violence and determination was being staged.
