Chapter 32: The Evil Tiger Comes

The cloak came with a loud sound, the wind whistled, and the sound rang in my ears. Gongsun Zhi slowly lowered his hand, and the people around him who were raising bows lowered their arms, and at this time, the general on the opposite side had already come to the front on horseback, his broad lips opened, and he spoke.

"Don't you recognize your uncle? Six years ago, I visited you and your mother. ”

In the depths of his memory, he tried hard to recall this face, and finally fixed it in a picture in his mind, Gongsun Zhifang took two steps forward and tilted his head: "Gongsun Yue? ”

Originally, calling the name directly, maybe there was nothing between strangers, but for the uncle-nephew relationship between Gongsun Zhi and Gongsun Yue, it seemed that there was a lot of life, but Gongsun Yue thought of what his eldest brother and sister-in-law did to his mother and son, and it was natural to be born at this moment.

There was a moment of silence.

"Let's go back together." Gongsun Zhi stared at him, turned the reins, turned around and walked forward, thinking about it, he could read the problem on the other party's expression, but since the other party did not come to kill him, then he must have come to help, and he had no reason to refuse this, after all, it was the future generation himself who really dominated this body.

Hearing the voice, Gongsun Yue was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he immediately smiled on his face, arched his hand, and issued an order to the cavalry behind him.

The horse thieves who returned from the surroundings one after another first glanced at the cavalry over there, and asked their companions what was going on, and after whispering for a while, someone puffed up his chest: "Don't let the leader lose face...... They all brace themselves and wipe the blood off their faces. ”

The disheveled team, all of them were confused for a while, one by one, they cleaned themselves up, and rode on horseback with their heads up, in fact, they didn't toss like this, the smell of blood emitted by their bodies, and no one would doubt the combat effectiveness of this horse thief team.

Gloomy and silent.

Gongsun Yue looked at the team with some surprise, and then followed behind.

......

When the sun fell, the wind on the grasslands became stronger, and bonfires were everywhere among the hills. Gongsun Zhi broke a branch and threw it into the fire, and in the sound of crackling and burning, the spark rose into the sky with the heat wave. Next to him, Gongsun Yue looked at him and blinked, "Your father heard that you had a big battle with Lu Bu, so he specially sent me to ride over with a thousand white horses to help, and they will be your subordinates in the future." ”

The white horse riders from Youbeiping were arranged between the hills of the White Wolf Plain, and the gap between the trees was originally spacious, but the 1,000 cavalry, plus 300 horse thieves and some family members, seemed to be much more crowded.

Gongsun Zhi looked at the boiled mutton in the pot, frowned, raised his head slightly, the firelight reflected on his face, and the atmosphere condensed. The figure over there hurriedly waved his hand: "I know that you have a knot in your heart, but the eldest brother is your father after all, and he is favored by him, just like a young deer sucking breast milk, who dares to say it?" ”

"What you said is not the same thing as I thought." Gongsun Zhi's gaze swept over the figures walking around the forest, "...... If he sends that woman from the Liu family to me to slaughter....... so why don't I go back. ”

He looked at Gongsun Yue, and a hint of ferocity flashed.

"Among the grievances, you are also clear, my mother died tragically, I was trafficked to the Huns, these grievances must be understood, are you right?"

Gongsun Yue hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm afraid it's impossible to ......"

"So...... You should train Gongsun Xu well......" Dressed in a big body, he scooped up a piece of horse meat from the boiling water and threw it over, "You bring cavalry, I only need half of it, and I can't afford to raise the excess." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the wolf's den.

Gao Sheng arched his hand to Gongsun Yue, and went to the lively place in front of him to drink with people, leaving him with horse meat and watching the flames shake in silence.

Before coming, he had actually thought of this possibility, how similar this nephew was to the eldest brother, but on the way here, he had heard rumors about the white wolf prince Sun Zhi, who was indeed much stronger than another nephew in the family, but the murderous name also worried him.

If in the future, once they turn against each other, Xu'er will obviously not be able to stop such a ferocious wolf.

"This kind of family matter ......" Gongsun Yue sighed, and threw a branch into the fire, so he couldn't take care of it so much, so let the eldest brother have a headache himself.

The next day, after bidding farewell to Gongsun Zhi, he took the remaining 500 white horses and set off to return to Youzhou, and on the way he asked a young general: "If one is cruel and cunning, and the other is mediocre, then which of them is suitable to guard this frontier?" ”

The young general had thick eyebrows and handsome face, dark complexion, a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, a silver gun in his hand, and a fist: "...... Yun felt that neither was possible, cruelty was not conducive to the peace of the people, and the latter was also difficult to settle down and control the country, not to mention that the country showed its talents, why could it only choose between the two? ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Yue replied simply, his face was a little unhappy, and he didn't speak again.

On the side of the hills behind them, a sight watched the team go away, and under the green trees, Gongsun Zhi waved his hand to beckon Gao Sheng, "...... Let everyone mingle with those white horse Yicong and slowly investigate. ”

"Does the leader mean that there are people in it with bad intentions?"

Gongsun Zhi took a deep breath: "I have to guard against it, after all, it is a soldier sent by someone else, not our own people, even if we become our own people, it will be a matter of the future." ”

"Yes." Gao Sheng arched his hand, he touched the big bald head, walked downhill, and looked back from time to time like a lonely wolf, looking into the distance.

"Why don't you go back to your family, if it were me, I would have run back a long time ago." He muttered a word and left.

Soon after Gao Sheng left.

"Five hundred... White Horse Righteous ...... Hahaha-"

Above the hills, the figure under the tree suddenly laughed, so that the famous cavalry of the era is generally not weak, it is always several times stronger than the horse thief he put together and accumulated, no matter what, with this cavalry, the journey to the south also has many guarantees.

"However, before that, these cavalry need to be integrated and integrated into the wolf nature." He squinted at the morning light.

……..

When the sun showed the first signs of sunset in the sky, and at the gate of Jinyang City, a carriage was quietly parked nearby, and a small person stood on the carriage looking at the road in the distance, pouting and complaining to the curtain: "Why hasn't Daddy come back yet, Lingqi is numb." ”

"Then you are still standing, come in and sit for a while, your father is almost back." The curtain lifted a corner slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "...... Mother, you are anxious to think about that little red horse. ”

Lu Lingqi stuck her waist and shook her pigtails: "No, I miss my father......"

At this point, she suddenly stopped, turned sharply to look at the side of the road, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a figure in a brocade red robe rode up, followed by a two...... The cavalry rushed towards the city gate on this side, and the soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly dispersed the pedestrians and merchants, while the little man on the other side put his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and the sound of a child's voice like a silver bell sounded.

"Daddy—"

In the sunset, the sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the mighty figure turned over, and came to lift the little man on the car, and went around in a circle, and the startled girl screamed.

After a while, Lu Bu put his daughter back on the carriage and waved his hand to the returning cavalry: "You go and return to your life first." ”

"Yes!" The centaurs clenched their fists on their backs and entered the city gates.

Lu Qiling, who was in the car, looked left and right, and didn't see what she wanted, so she grabbed her father's thick arm and shook it, "What about the little red horse that Daddy promised Lingqi, why is it gone." ”

The curtain of the car opened a corner to reveal Yan's gentle face, she smiled brightly, and took the girl's hand: "Daddy just came back, let Daddy go to restore his life first, okay?" When I get home, maybe the little red horse is already there. ”

"Really?" Lu Lingqi glanced back and forth between the two adults suspiciously.

Lu Bu over there reached out and pinched her little face, and looked over the road, a carriage was driving over, and in the cage behind it was a ball of crimson poking out of his nose.

"Ahh My Little Red Horse!! ”

Lu Qiling clapped her hands excitedly, jumped down from the car, ran over there, and when the cage door opened, she ran in and hugged the little red horse's neck, rubbing her little face affectionately.

Lu Bu, who came with his wife, looked at the rouge pony with some reluctance, here, Lu Lingqi seemed to notice her father's gaze, and hurriedly put her arms around the horse's neck and raised her little face, "It's Lingqi's, Daddy is not allowed to take it away." ”

"Grab something with your daughter." Yan stabbed her husband next to her with her fingers, and then beckoned to the girl: "Lingqi take the pony and we're going home." ”

Hearing that he had gone home, Lu Bu's face sank, and he stood still, and the woman who had walked a few steps over there looked back at him: "Husband, what's wrong?" ”

“… I'm going to Luoyang soon. Lu Bu held the halberd and looked at the daughter who teased the pony, the lost and sad wife, turned over and got on the horse, "When the other side is stable, the husband will come back." ”

Immediately, he drove the horse's head without looking behind him, and ran towards the city.

********************************

The sky is dark, and on the official road of Hedong County, a single person is galloping with the starlight.

On the road a hundred miles further west, the banner hunted in the night wind, countless footsteps moved, and a dull sound sounded on the earth, and the speckled firelight was like a fire dragon winding along.

Shortly after the night fell, the lone horse came up to him, turned over and dismounted, ran a few paces, and presented a letter encapsulated in a lacquer tube.

In the lowered sight, the thick horse's hooves trampled on the dirt, the horse's nose spewed two hot air towards the top of the messenger's head, and on the horseback, a giant man with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, nine feet high, swept the cloth silk, carrying a long knife with iron, Hua Xiong's cracked mouth and revealed a hideous expression: "Finally wait for the opportunity, how can you go back here, the former general has an order to hinder the march, kill——"

The knife whistled past, and a head fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately, he waved his knife and pointed, "Order the whole army to go to Luoyang as soon as possible and settle in Shanglin Yuan." ”

PS: There is only one watch tonight, and three watches will be made up tomorrow.
