Chapter 24: On the Road (3)

According to reason, Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde in 182 should be forty-one years old, but now looking at his face, he is only a young man who has just twenty-seven or eight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, we have no way of knowing whether it was the butterfly effect brought by Wei Yu's arrival in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but what we can know is that on this rainy afternoon, Cheng Yu was roasting a fire in a ruined temple.

He still can't forget the days when he was a gentleman at Yingchuan Academy, and it can be said that that time was his happiest day. Because of the sponsorship of the Chen family and the Xun family, Yingchuan Academy is already the largest gathering place of talents in the world, although his name is Mr., but he also learned a lot in this academy.

Cheng Yu prides himself on being smart, but in the past few years in Yingzhou, he has found many characters who stand side by side with him or want to faintly surpass himself.

Cheng Yu put the dried robe back on his body, leaned down to get close to the charcoal fire to roast himself warmer, took out some dry food from the baggage, took a wine jug and took a sip of it, but finally didn't dare to drink more.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Family Sanruo, including Xun Zhongyu, Xun Gongda, and even the slightly younger Guo Fengxiao, these people are all people he met in Yingchuan... He believed that these people would be able to go far after they arrived, but he Cheng Yu was different from them, he was the oldest, and he had long wanted to pursue the life he longed for.

Cheng Yu left his family in his early years, and the perennial difficulties in life have made him understand how difficult the world is, his Yanzhou Cheng family has long been defeated, he no longer needs to bear the family's figures, he Cheng Yu has to live for his ideals.

Until one day he heard about Cao Mengde... When the news of the five-colored big stick and cane to kill the figure reached his ears, the whole person was already trembling with excitement, Cheng Yu disdained the orthodoxy of the Han family, but he was yearning for the personality charm of some righteous people.

Hearing that Cao Cao was coming to Hedong, he decisively resigned from the position of Mr. of Yingchuan College, and wanted to come to Hedong to see what Xu Zijiang called "the capable minister who governs the world".

Cheng Yu was overwhelmed by alcohol, his face was slightly red after just a few sips, in order to keep him awake when he was about to hurry, he took out a delicate small bottle from his baggage, and a small pill came from it, and after taking it, he felt a cool feeling in the back of his head.

This kind of thing is very popular in Yingchuan, and it can keep people's minds clear, so it is more popular among literati and scholars... Of course, this includes Cheng Yu.

I remember that when he left Yingchuan, he had a good chat with Xi Long and Xun Yu, and when he said that he wanted to go to Cao Mengde, both of them showed surprised eyes.

At this time, Cao Cao had not yet crusaded against the Yellow Turban, nor had he assassinated Dong Zhuo, nor had he issued an edict to Yu Suanjube, the prince of the Eighteenth Road. So even if they are so good, neither of them can see anything outstanding about Cao Mengde at present.

I only remember that Xi Zhicai said something when he said goodbye to himself: "Brother Zhongde is going, if the view is that Cao Mengde is really the master, don't forget to write to tell Zhicai, then Zhicai will definitely defect to you..."

Thinking of this, Yu suddenly laughed heartily, put out the fire, picked up the baggage, and the rain outside the door was light, he turned over and got on his horse, and looked into the distance.

"Hedong, Cao Mengde, I'm Cheng Yu here!"

One person and one horse kept galloping, and he wanted to rush to Wenxi as fast as possible, because at least his own family, Wenxi Cheng's family...

Although the east of the river belongs to the division, but the Gaoling River continues, and there are still some bandits hovering here.

And the most serious is in Yang County, which has been plagued by bandits, and the county magistrates are incompetent, and they often accept bribes from bandits. Therefore, it has become common for thieves to go down the mountain to disturb the people...

At a wine stall in the eastern suburbs of Yang County, several big men in cotton clothes were drinking around a table with their legs, while all kinds of weapons were leaning against the corner of the table.

One of the one-eyed men poured a bowl of good wine directly into his stomach, and after shouting happily, he began to speak: "The big boss said, the winter is about to end, we must go down the mountain to borrow grain this time, we must manage the expenses of the brothers in the mountains for a winter, otherwise it will be difficult for Lao Tzu to go back to the big boss." ”

A lean man with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes came to his senses when he heard this: "I said Ni Tou, I asked the langur who was in charge of the grain when Feng Mouse went down the mountain, and he said that the grain storage in our cottage is not a problem for a few years, why do you have to receive more grain this time." ”

Before the one-eyed Ni Tou could speak, the fat man on the side slapped Feng Mouse's head and said, "I said that you Feng Mouse is also talking a lot of nonsense, since the big boss has issued an order, we will carry it out, and you ask so much Ni knows an egg?" ”

Obviously, this fat man is the only one in status among the four people, his name is Xu Ran, and he has a nickname called Xu Sanpao.

"Three guns, don't fucking bully Feng Mouse, your grandfather Ni really knows what the big boss is doing this time..."

After speaking, Ni Tou asked the other three to put their heads in the middle of the table and began to whisper: "A few days ago, a new king came to Baibo Valley called Mrs. Guo, this boss Guo has just arrived at the top of the mountains in the east of my river, and he must not be convinced by him, including our big boss."

And then you know what's going on? This Guo boss directly invited all the bosses to his Baibo Valley and directly reported to the mountain gate. Where do you guess he came from? ”

I saw that the other three thieves shook their heads, and Ni Tou slapped the table directly as soon as he said it proudly, and then said: "That person is Qu Shuai under the great sage and good teacher of the Taiping Sect!" ”

"Ahh The three thieves were so surprised that they almost couldn't close their mouths, although the reputation of the Taiping Sect was not as loud as that in Hebei, but how could they not have heard of it...

The stall owner squatted down directly when he slapped the table, and the surrounding tables knew that the three of them were bandits, where did they dare to stay here... There were, of course, exceptions, but there were two young men at the table staring at them viciously.

Let's continue to talk about these bandits, that Feng rat is usually slippery, and as soon as he heard Ni Tou say this, he immediately opened his mind and whispered: "Isn't it that our big boss wants to belong to the Taiping Sect, so he asked us to borrow some food when we go down the mountain and give it to Boss Guo as a meeting gift..."

Ni Tou also likes smart people, and then laughed and did not answer, seeing that he was full of wine and food, he slapped the table again and said with a sharp eye: "Copy guys, let's go!" ”

The three bandits were obviously still a little unsatisfied with the news, but the boss could only pick up their weapons and prepare to borrow food.

Suddenly, a female voice interrupted their steps.

"Daddy... This is the clothes that my mother asked her daughter to send, I am afraid that the weather will be cold... Yes! ”

The woman was shocked, because the thief known as Ni Tou put his arms around his waist directly from behind...

The old shopkeeper was so frightened that he knelt down directly, looking at the actions of those bandits, how could he not know what they meant, his daughter would not come sooner or later, but at this time, this was simply a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

"Little lady... Good looking... Why don't you follow Ni Ye back to the mountains to be the lady of the village? ”

After speaking, he also scratched the woman's face with his rough hand.

The woman was already frightened, the old shopkeeper just kowtowed vigorously, and her facial features were squeezed together, "Everyone, let go of the little girl, there is only this one daughter in the little old man's family..."

Feng Mouse kicked the old man far away in anger, and then punched and kicked the old man with Xu Sanpao and a thief...

"Daddy!"

"Stop!" Two explosions had already been heard, and then Feng Mouse only felt a chill in his chest, and a strong man's big knife had penetrated his chest.

After Feng Mouse died, several people were shocked, and another white-clothed young man directly raised his sword to kill the unknown thief, and then fought with Xu Sancang.

"Dare to spoil your grandfather Ni Dazhi's good deeds? Grandpa lets you know how to write dead words! ”

Ni Tou was furious, and directly threw the girl in his arms aside, and lifted a sledgehammer like that strong man to smash it.

The sturdy man's surname is Hu Mingjie, and he is a well-known ranger in Hedong, and he is nicknamed Hu Yidao.

But this Ni Dazhi is obviously wide and fat, and he doesn't know how much strength Hu Jie has, and he shook Hu Jie's big knife to the ground with a hammer... Hu Jie fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.

Shouting: "Brother single save me!" ”

On the other side, the man in white directly beheaded Xu Sanpao, who was also a ranger, how could he remedy Hu Jie's fall to the ground?

Straight to the past... Fight with that Ni Dazhi again...

Ni Dazhi obviously stood on the advantage, and the man in white was forced into danger several times... This already made him pinch a cold sweat.

Although he is a ranger, he is not a local traveler in Hedong, although he is a ranger, he also advocates literary education... I don't know that a few days ago, he heard that the world's outstanding people wanted to gather in Hedong, so he started to rush to Anyi from his hometown of Yuzhou.

When passing through Yang County, he met a ranger who called himself Hu Yidao and invited him to get rid of the bandits. They can't fight a large number of bandits, but Xiaobo is still confident that they can get rid of them... Today, the two of them waited in this booth for some scattered bandits to fall into the net.

Originally, it was almost dark and he didn't wait for the bandits, but when the man in white was about to say goodbye, he happened to meet Ni Dazhi and the four of them...

"How could I die here!"

The man in white flashed Ni Dazhi's hammer in embarrassment, turned over and came to the back of the table, and saw that there was still hot tea on the table that had not been cleaned up just now, and smashed the teapot directly at Ni Dazhi with a whim.

Ni Dazhi was just excited, no matter what he flew from, he smashed him with a hammer, and the hot tea in it splashed and fell directly into his two huge bull eyes.

"Ahh Ni Dazhi screamed. The weapon in his hand was already scattered on the ground, and the man in white shouted a good opportunity, and directly turned over Ni Dazhi's back sword to give him a piercing heart...

Beyond the city gates... The old shopkeeper with his daughter and Hu Yidao was saying goodbye to the man in white, it was impossible for them to stay in Yang County after killing the bandits...

Fortunately, the shopkeeper surnamed Yan intended to marry his daughter to Hu Yidao, and Hu Yidao was also willing to do so, and the family of three planned to flee to Hebei...

The old shopkeeper took his son-in-law and daughter to kneel down to say goodbye to the man.

Hu Jie spoke: "Brother Shan doesn't know when he can do it this time, but the younger brother doesn't know where Brother Shan is going to settle down, so I can let my brother go to repay his kindness in the future." ”

The man in white was also a little embarrassed when he was asked like this, he was also a ranger who had no fixed place, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This time I am going to Anyi, I think I will pay attention to Anyi for a while in the future..."

A family of three watched the back of the man in white disappear into the sky before leaving, and suddenly the old shopkeeper patted his head and said: "Little old man is stupid... I haven't asked for the name of Engong Gao..."

"Father, don't worry... Xiang Gong and Engong have a good relationship, and they should know their names..."

Hu Yidao touched the back of his head when he heard this: "I only know my brother's letter... I don't know his full name..."

Old Yan shopkeeper jumped to his feet in a hurry, and his facial features were twisted again and shouted: "Confused... Confused..."

As for what exactly is this white ranger called?

Shan Fu, who was one person and one horse, smiled softly... What he likes most is the feeling of being chivalrous under a pseudonym...
