Chapter 81: Two Old Friends
When the three of them came to a sparsely populated place, Zhao Yue took off his hat and looked back at Hangu Pass, which had become an extremely small point in his eyes.
Only then did he dare to stop and thank the middle-aged man: "In Xia Zhaoyue, the words are long and bright, thank you for your help, I don't know who Engong is?" Why did you know me? And why did you help the two of us? ”
Qin Feng was originally very wary of that person, but seeing Zhao Yue like this, he also put away his guard and made a gesture to the side.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly knelt down, which caught Zhao Yue by surprise, and while asking the reason, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up.
But the middle-aged man didn't want to get up at all, just knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly: "My brother, I enshrine your portrait tablet day and night, how can I not know the name of Lord Zhao Yue?" And the two leaders of my family have also said in advance, if you see Zhao Yue, you will definitely invite him to go up the mountain, if he is in trouble, he will give up his life, but also protect him! ”
When Zhao Yue heard this, he was taken aback, his mind was full of doubts, and he carefully looked at the middle-aged man's face, he could be sure that he didn't know him? But why did he say that the two leaders of their family would attach so much importance to themselves, not only to worship their own tablets, but also to give up their lives for themselves?
Thinking that he had just started an incident in the ruined city of Luoyang, he didn't have any prestige in various places, and even if he did, it was just that the people near Luoyang had more respect for him.
But this is far from the common people west of Hangu Pass knowing his name, right?
Zhao Yue was surprised, she already had an answer in her heart, but she couldn't believe it, so she could only ask suspiciously: "You guys on the mountain?" What is the mountain? What do you do? Also, what are the names of the two leaders of your family? ”
The middle-aged man still refused to stand up, still knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and respectfully confessed: "Lord Zhao Yue, on the barren mountain not far away, there is a camp, I am the person above, my name is Lu Ze, our camp has a total of about 500 people, and there is a camp in the village, which is dedicated to your portrait and tablet. We had two chiefs, the big one, whose name I don't know, and the people called him the big leader. As for the second leader, his name is Cao Ping, and his name is Jingde; Lord Zhao Yue, do you know them? ”
When Zhao Yue heard this, she was shocked, grabbed Lu Ze's shoulders tightly, kept shaking, and then said with great joy: "Huaxiong! Cao Ping! The two of them aren't dead yet! Are you really one of their men!? I depend on them for all my big things! Great, this is simply great! ”
When Zhao Yue spoke, her voice became higher and higher, and her happy appearance was overflowing, completely forgetting her identity, which made Lu Ze a little surprised; And Qin Feng was so excited when he saw Zhao Yue on the side, it was as if he had encountered some great joy, and he scratched his head without knowing the truth.
None of them knew what Hua Xiong and Cao Ping meant to Zhao Yue; For Zhao Yue, whether these two can help him achieve great things and restore the rule of the Qin Dynasty together is still a matter for later; The most important thing is that these two people are still alive, which is already a great joy that makes Zhao Yue excited!
After another brief conversation with Lu Ze, Zhao Yue learned that Lu Ze came down from the barren mountain this time to come out to find out the news.
It is only because of the recent Chang'an area, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers killed good people and harmed the people, and the extent has reached a very bad level. Therefore, the big leader and Cao Ping were ready to lead the army out of the village and harass this group of gangsters, so they sent Lu Ze down in advance to collect some information about Dong Zhuojun, but they didn't expect to meet Zhao Yue here.
Zhao Yue listened to Lu Ze's story, and hurriedly urged Lu Ze to take him and Qin Feng back to the barren mountain.
So, the three of them didn't make many stops and rode on the road. I felt that the wilderness along the way became gradually undulating mountains, while the flat paths became longer and more undulating.
Finally came to the foot of the barren mountain, Zhao Yue held the reins, covered his eyes with his right hand and looked into the distance, the towering wooden building not far away, and the large white tent arranged reasonably and neatly, these were enough to conclude that the leader was a general who knew how to march and arrange.
If it's not Huaxiong, who else can it be?
"Big Boss! Boss Cao Ping! Lu Ze rode a horse first, and soon galloped to the gate of the village, and he shouted loudly towards the village: "I have found Lord Zhao Yue, everyone come out quickly!" ”
At this time, Hua Xiong was discussing important matters with Cao Ping in the tent in the village, and had already talked about the location of the dispatch and the number of soldiers to be brought out of the camp. Hearing the shouts of Lu Ze, a strategist outside the camp, his heart was shocked, and his eyes revealed something strange.
I think that the two of them have experienced a year, their appearance and appearance have changed a little, and they have accepted the fact that Zhao Yue died, but because they didn't know the real result of the war, they were lucky, so they asked their subordinates to go down the mountain to inquire and chat for comfort.
Unexpectedly, at this time, they actually heard such terrible and lovely news!
Hua Xiong became more majestic than before, and his face could feel a kind of maturity that had been through vicissitudes, he looked at Cao Ping at this time, and asked with a bit of a stutter: "Jingde, I ...... I heard you right, what did Lu Ze say? ”。
"It shouldn't be, it should be true, Brother Changjiao is not dead, he is not dead!" Cao Ping was so excited that he almost shed tears, but after so long, he has grown a lot and will not cry easily anymore.
Compared with Hua Xiong, he has changed the most in the past year: he has grown taller, his body has become a little stronger, and some short beards have appeared on his originally clean jaw, which is a trace of manly spirit brought to him by the work of the army for many days.
As for his appearance, he has matured a lot, his appearance has become more and more handsome, his small eyes are sharp and sharp, and he is more like a majestic young general.
Just as the two of them were surprised and stunned, Zhao Yue had already rushed into the camp on a fast horse, sped up, and came straight to the tent, jumped off the horse, and broke directly into the big tent.
The soldiers patrolling around the village saw this scene, but they did not stop it in the slightest, not because they respected Zhao Yue, but because they saw that the person in the portrait that they had to visit every day for a year appeared alive, which made them a little nervous.
To tell the truth, even Lu Ze was taken aback when he first saw Zhao Yue at Hangu Pass, and he didn't dare to recognize him, if it wasn't for the soldiers guarding the pass to stop him, he would have been stunned in place if someone was needed to relieve the siege in an emergency.
"Brother Changjiao!"
"Eun Gong!"
Seeing the person who broke in, Hua Xiong and Cao Ping no longer looked at each other, but cast their eyes on Zhao Yue's body in unison, and their bodies stood up involuntarily and rushed towards Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue's eyes were also a little moist, after such a long time, he really didn't expect that he would still have a moment to meet these two people!
Moreover, it is also when I have a certain ability and need their help!
Thinking of this, he strode over and hugged the two of them tightly.
At this moment, the three of them don't care about their status, nor do they care about the difference in surnames, let alone blood kinship. In the past, Zhao Yue has grown a lot and gained a lot, except for those suffocating historical facts, those cold art of war, and those boring classics.
He was really happy that he could reap this dusty friendship again.
At the moment when his eyes were hazy with tears, he saw the picture when he first came out of Kunyang, and he also saw the picture when he fought bravely with the Han soldiers under Huaxiong in the Tiger Prison Pass.
