Li Sheng and Zhao Yun stood side by side under the eaves outside the guest room, chatting happily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough they are only meeting for the first time, the feeling that no one can tell them in the dark makes them feel like they know each other at first sight. Facing the curtain of flowing water and rain outside, waiting for the outcome of the incident in the guest room behind him, the two people named "Zhao Yun" who were also concerned about it inside chatted endlessly outside. During this period, Li Sheng said a lot, so that most of the time, Zhao Yun, who was more lively, seemed to be a different person, just listening there quietly, occasionally showing laughter like silver bells.

"It's unusual!" If Zhao Yun inside knew, he would definitely be surprised by his sister's performance, and he would have come up with such a sentence. But now Zhao Yun is being treated inside, and under the sound insulation measures in the inn room, he doesn't understand how pleasant his sister chats with each other, and how abnormal it is.

For Zhao Yun, who is as innocent as a child, Li Sheng, who he just met, is undoubtedly his other "brother". Although this "brother" has not known each other for a long time, this does not prevent her from attaching herself to him at all. Before she knew it, she had taken the talkative man into her heart, though it seemed a little quick.

The conversation between the two was pleasant. It's just that this pleasant time passed quickly. Is it a moment, or a blink of an eye? In short, when the two of them were disturbed from talking to waking up, they always wondered why time passed so quickly: "Why is it just like this, the examination and treatment for the second brother (Zhao Yun) is over?" ”

The two of them were a little puzzled by such a situation. But now that the inside is over, it's not good for them to stay outside.

"How's it going?" As soon as he entered the room, Li Sheng eagerly asked the two doctors who came with him about Zhao Yun.

"No problem, my lord." Seeing Li Sheng come in, the two hurriedly got up and gave a military salute to each other, and then said, "The situation of this general is not as terrible as it seems on the surface. Although there are many wounds on the body, they are not deep, at most they are only skin and flesh wounds, as long as they are cultivated for a few days, they will be fine. And his current wound, we all used the best 'Jade Lingsan' to reapply it to him, and it won't be long before I am afraid that even the scar will disappear." ”

"That's good." Li Sheng nodded with a smile. He had absolutely no doubts about the medical skills of these two people. Because he knew that they were all medical masters trained by Zhang Zhongjing. Although the study is not entirely surgery, it is still enough to deal with such small injuries and pains, and the "Jade Lingsan" they use is still an elixir developed by Hua Tuo, the holy hand of surgery. The result of all this is to make Li Sheng believe what they say, after all, Li Sheng himself is also the beneficiary of all this - the injury on his right arm was restored to its current intact condition with the cooperation of these two.

"Thank you so much for this brother." Although Zhao Yun himself didn't care much about the question of whether he could leave scars, he also knew what kind of grade this kind of medicine that could even remove scars was, and the other party could use such medicine to treat himself, which was touching in itself.

"You're welcome." Li Sheng shook his head indifferently: "Medicine cures immortal diseases, and heals people who are destined." For me, it would have been a joy to be able to use 'Jade Lingsan' to treat a famous general like the general. ”

"Famous general?" Zhao Yun was slightly stunned, it seemed that no one had called him like this until now: "What kind of famous general am I." At best, it's just a small creep. ”

"Creeps?" Li Sheng looked at him, with a look of disbelief on his face: "If people who can compete with Hebei fierce generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou are still called small soldiers, then there is no one in the world who can be called fierce generals." He shook his head and said, but he said one of the most itchy places in Zhao Yun's heart.

"Hehe, it's over, it's over." Zhao Yun waved his hand humbly, and a trace of imperceptible joy quickly flashed on his face. Of course, he is not a sycophant who likes flattery, but as a fierce general with good martial arts, his vision is naturally extremely high. Although he treats people peacefully and gracefully, he also has his own arrogance behind this harmony. Because he has this proud capital, he can defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou when he is just starting out, which makes him very confident in his skills, and he thinks that he is different from ordinary people. However, unlike ordinary people, he has not been so happy these years: since he saved Gongsun Zhan's life at the boundary bridge, he joined Gongsun Zhan's army. But Gongsun never trusted him very much, neither gave him a solid right, nor listened to his loyal advice, but only regarded him as the same as ordinary generals.

The so-called "high can't be, low can't be" refers to his situation under Gongsun. There is no trust, and there is no place to vent, he is in this mess until now. When Gongsun Chan died, he was dealing with his brother's funeral. When everything calmed down, he had nowhere to go. Although Yuan Shao was the overlord of Hebei and was willing to use high-ranking officials to recruit him, he had already seen through Yuan Shao's unbearable and insisted on the righteousness in his heart, and he was unwilling to serve this former enemy. With his younger sister, who was a little younger than himself, he recalled the agreement with Liu Bei in the past, and after finding out that Liu Bei was in Runan, he rode in pairs and waded through mountains and rivers, not only to realize the dream of peace in his heart, but also to realize his own achievements. After all, he was already in his old age.

The thoughts in Zhao Yun's heart turned a thousand times, but because his face was still calm, Li Sheng didn't see anything wrong. For his idol to be so modest, Li Sheng felt that he was greater, and his heart was naturally more determined to recruit him. Of course, things have to be taken slowly, step by step.

"I don't know General Zhao, where are you going now? I've heard that your hometown isn't here. Li Sheng asked casually.

"Don't hide it from Master Li, I'm here to defect to someone." Zhao Yun replied politely. He knew Li Sheng's identity from the soldier who had just treated him, and understood that he was also an official at the moment, although it was not big, but it was much better than himself as a civilian at the moment. For this, he is not unconvinced, anyway, everyone has their own opportunities. But as far as the current title is concerned, because he is not "familiar" with Li Sheng, he can only call Li Sheng an adult.

"Alas, General Zhao calls me an adult, which really torments me. I've admired the general's prestige for a long time. Please also ask the general to call me Zixu. Li Sheng said with a smile.

"If that's it, then I'll be restricted." really politely shirked with Li Sheng, Zhao Yun finally called Li Sheng according to Li Sheng's request, but he also asked Li Sheng: "Then don't call me General Zhao." Zixu can call me Zilong. For those who treat him well, Zhao Yun has always kept it in his heart and saved such gratitude.

"Then I will call Your Excellency Brother Zilong." Li Sheng smiled and quickly went around the snake, changing his name to Zhao Yun.

"Huh,...... All right! All right! Zhao Yun saw that Li Sheng was so bold, and immediately laughed happily.

When the two chatted casually like this, said some things, and deepened their understanding of each other, Li Sheng intentionally or unintentionally said the topic to the side he wanted: "I don't know who Brother Zilong is here to take refuge into?" ”

"Don't hide it from Zixu. I'm here to find Uncle Liu. In the past, when I was under the tent of Gongsun Zhan, I had a very close relationship with him, and now I have nowhere to go, so I want to come to him. I heard that he was in Runan, and I came here. There is nothing to say about this issue, but Zhao Yun explained it to Li Sheng in great detail.

"That is the case, then why did Brother Zilong end up like this?" Li Sheng pretended to be puzzled and exclaimed, he saw that Zhao Yun was puzzled, so he explained in detail: "Brother Zilong is here to vote for Uncle Liu Huang, and Uncle Liu Huang has already controlled the large and small Yellow Turban forces in Runan, if they knew Brother Zilong's situation, they should treat Brother Zilong well, how could it be?" …… Isn't there some misunderstanding? Li Sheng asked tentatively.

"Misunderstanding? Where is there any misunderstanding! We've told the bandits, but they still don't believe me. At that time, my brother was already a little sick, and his strength was not as good as before, and because he wanted to protect me, he couldn't withstand the siege of those people, so he ended up like this. Zhao Yun said with tears in her eyes. Since the death of her eldest brother, the second brother Zhao Yun has become her only support, and the incident itself is caused by the reasons she said, of course she is both angry and sad. "As long as the second brother's health improves, I must kill Woniu Mountain to avenge the second brother." She gritted her teeth and said, her eyes revealing incomparable determination.

"It's amazing." Feeling the trace of murderous aura emanating from Zhao Yun's body, Li Sheng couldn't help but smack his tongue slightly. He could see that Zhao Yun's kung fu was actually on par with himself, and might even be better than himself. "Perhaps, she also has the level of a first-class general." He thought in his heart, but he looked at Zhao Yun. He knew that Zhao Yun's words just now were a little impulsive, and with his current status, it was naturally difficult to persuade him, so he had to let Zhao Yun deal with this troublesome matter by himself. After all, Zhao Yun is her only relative.

"You're stupid!" Zhao Yun suddenly became angry, "Just use the two of us to deal with their cottage?" You think we're all immortals! If it's heads-up, neither you nor I will take them to heart. However, now we have lost a war horse, and the other party has long been defended. If we don't have a certain amount of strength, we just rush forward so rashly, and we are afraid that we will be sent to death. And ......" He didn't say any more, but glanced at Zhao Yun, who was aggrieved, and broke off so violently. He believed that Li Sheng said that these bandits had taken refuge in Liu Bei, because he had heard them say that they would give Liu Bei their war horses. He was skeptical of such words at first, but after listening to Li Sheng's statement, he recognized the truth of this matter. “…… In that case, then we can only endure it. Your brother, I want to take refuge with Uncle Liu Huang. And Uncle Huang is quite good to everyone who takes refuge in him. For such a thing, because we are both people who have taken refuge in the past, he will only mediate later. Although it will not deliberately favor either side, it will also not let the conflict escalate and intensify. So, we can't do anything with them. Everyone will be colleagues in the future, and they can only be courteous to each other......" This was what he wanted to say, but he still stopped. He felt that if he said that again, it would undoubtedly embarrass his sister even more. "Trouble!" His brow furrowed tightly.

"I'm sorry...... Second brother! I don't know what Zhao Yun thinks in his heart, but he intuitively thinks that his troubles and his frowning are all because of his impulsive words, Zhao Yun can't help but cry with self-blame. She thought she really shouldn't have worried her brother.

"I didn't ...... Not anymore! Younger sister...... You...... Don't you cry, okay? Seeing Zhao Yun's tears, Zhao Yun suddenly panicked, he struggled to get up to persuade Zhao Yun, but his persuasion was hurried and funny, and it was useless except to make the whole scene more flustered - it can be said that he didn't know how to appease people at all.

"Hmmm! …… Hehe! Seeing that his brother cared so much about him, Zhao Yun's tears slowly stopped, and after thinking about his brother's busy and funny appearance, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. The smile with tears in her heart came from her heart, and people couldn't help but feel pity for her. For a while, everyone in the room except Zhao Yun couldn't help but be a little stupid when they looked at her, and their burning eyes leaned towards her like fire. She felt it, her face turned red, and she immediately remembered what she had to do: in the face of her brother who stood up because she cared about her, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold him again, let him lie back on the couch, settled him down again, and then let out a long breath. Just as her brother is very close to her, she is also very close to her brother, because the two of them are an indispensable part of each other, relatives, siblings.

Looking at the kind of brotherhood that their brother and sister showed, Li Sheng was a little envious, he was from modern times, and he was alone since he was a child, where can he experience the feelings between brothers. Although there are usually a few friends who play better, and some call each other brothers, but no matter what, that kind of relationship never gives Li Sheng the feeling that blood is thicker than water. "Brother", he didn't feel these two words for twenty years in modern times, until he returned to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms and re-became the appearance of the thirteen-year-old ghost, he felt something in a few people around him such as Song De, Zhou Li, Zhou Rui, and Kong Ming.

"They are the ones who really care about me. Although I still don't have blood brothers after all, it seems that with them, it doesn't matter if it's really blood relatives. Thinking back on all these years, thinking back to their emotions with Song De and Kong Ming, and looking at the touching scene in front of him, Li Sheng couldn't help but raise a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face showed a clear look of understanding.

After a while, everyone calmed down again. Zhao Yun was still quite polite to Li Sheng. He knew that the kind of affection between him and his sister might seem normal to him, but he might not be able to get the other party's understanding from others. Because he had just met Li Sheng, he didn't know what kind of personality Li Sheng was, so he apologized to Li Sheng for what had just happened: "I made you laugh." ”

"How so?" Li Sheng shook his head gently: "How do you talk about this?" The natural flow of affection between you is what moves me, how can I laugh at you? If such true feelings will be laughed at, then the person who laughs is definitely a ruthless person. But do you think I look like? Li Sheng's eyes widened and he pretended to look at them innocently, as if he was very aggrieved and blinked.

"It's fun!" Zhao Yun was amused by Li Sheng and laughed. The cheerful atmosphere infected Zhao Yun made a faint smile on his mature face. He was a quiet man, and in general rarely revealed his expressions, unless it really touched a chord in his heart.

"Alright, let's talk about the following things." Watching the two laugh for a while, Li Sheng finally brought the conversation back to the topic: "I don't know what Brother Zilong has planned?" ”

"I want to wait here for Uncle Liu's arrival." Zhao Yun thought for a while and said firmly. This is what he promised Liu Bei before, and now that he has returned to his masterless body, then the promised thing must be done, which is also where the firm righteousness in his heart lies.

"But there's something dangerous here. There are only two of you, and there is only one warhorse. Li Sheng said lightly, he looked at Zhao Yun, looking at the sadness that flashed on his face because of the mention of the war horse. It seems that the war horse is also something that he can only miss. Li Sheng thought of this, and said tentatively: "Brother Zilong didn't think about getting the war horse back?" You must know that war horses and weapons are the second life of military generals. ”

"This ......" Zhao Yun hesitated a little. He thought about what Li Sheng said, but when he understood that the people over there were also going to take refuge in Liu Bei and were likely to become his future colleagues, he no longer wanted to ask for war horses. "I don't want to cause disputes between colleagues because of the war horse." That's what he thinks in his heart. Although he also knows that the truth is really on his side, as Li Sheng said, war horses and weapons are generally the second life of military generals, so those who have snatched the war horses will not easily return their war horses in general. Because that's something that's just as important to them. "They value this too.

"Even if they return the war horse under the negotiation of themselves or Uncle Liu Huang, they are unwilling, and they are likely to have unhappy cracks from this, which will be detrimental to everyone." He thought a lot about this matter, and he saw it very clearly, and he clearly knew that the guy named Pei Yuanshao on Woniu Mountain was definitely not an upright man.

"That's it." Zhao Yun opened his mouth and wanted to say such a thing, but he finally stopped. He looked at Li Sheng's concerned gaze, thought about his sister Fang Cai's unwilling look, and changed the words that were about to come out into a question: "I don't know what Zixu plans to do about this?" He had already seen through the idea in Li Sheng's heart.

"Me?" Li Sheng, who was suddenly asked by Zhao Yun, couldn't help but be stunned, and then understood his intention by asking this from his perceptive gaze, so he said very directly: "I want to ask you to stay and help me defeat this group of people in Woniu Mountain." You don't have helpers, and I do. I think with the forces on both sides of us, it will be extremely easy to defeat such a copycat. ”

"How many of you have?" Zhao Yun, the little girl, quickly asked. Of course, she didn't ask casually, she had a purpose: "If the number of people is too small, it is impossible to attack such a strong-defending cottage." Although she is sometimes impulsive, when she is not impulsive, she can often see through the essence of things at a glance.

"Not much, just five or six hundred. But they are all good players, and it is natural to take down such a cottage - it turns out that I have plans to march after the rain stops. Li Sheng said very clearly and directly, he thought that these were not secrets, so he said it in front of Zhao Yun, who was still an outsider.

"Oh?" Zhao Yun answered, but fell into deep thought. He was also making a choice: although he had also said that he would give up seeking revenge, it was not that he had no resentment towards the person who stole his horse, but he considered all things from a higher perspective, so he made the decision to tolerate it. There is nothing wrong with this overall, and now some people want to overturn this decision, after knowing Li Sheng's strength.

Li Sheng is powerful, this is not fake, and it cannot be his arrogance. Although it is difficult to attack a cottage with the same number of defenders with a few hundred men, it is not something that is absolutely impossible. If there are hundreds of people under him, then he is confident that he will say the same thing as Li Sheng.

Therefore, he completely believed what Li Sheng said. He knew that Li Sheng had the ability to deal with the enemy in front of him alone. And the so-called asking yourself to help him is just giving yourself such a chance to take revenge without any leverage. As long as he agrees, then he can follow Li Sheng to attack together. In the future, even if someone asks, he can pass the buck and say, "I just joined the crusading army to repay the kindness of those who saved me." I don't have any hatred for Pei Yuanshao at all. If anything, it is just that each was his own master at that time. ”

"That's really a good reason. But do you want to say yes or not? Zhao Yun was embarrassed. No matter how you look at the conditions proposed by Li Sheng, they are the conditions that he thinks about the most, but he intuitively wants to reject such conditions. "If you want revenge, you will take revenge, if you want to give up, you will give up,

Using someone else as an excuse is too unsightly. That's his reason, and that's the persistence in his heart. Thinking of this, he had made up his mind in his heart, raised his head, looked at Li Sheng firmly, and said, "I can join you, but I want to join in the name of my revenge." ”

"Why?" After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Li Sheng, who felt the righteousness in his heart, couldn't help but ask with a sigh of relief.

"In life, we should do something and not do something. It has not yet reached the point where you dare to do it but dare not do it. Zhao Yun said categorically. He didn't look at Li Sheng, worried that his kindness in rejecting him would cause him to be dissatisfied. Although he is a man, his mind is also quite delicate.

"Hehe......" Unexpectedly, Li Sheng didn't look unhappy about Zhao Yun's refusal, but instead laughed happily after Zhao Yun said the reason that seemed to be very hurtful: "Dare to do it, be above board, Brother Zilong is worthy of being a man." In this way, it should be a model for our generation to learn. No matter what happens in the future, it is really my blessing Li Sheng to be able to fight side by side with Brother Zilong this time. As he spoke, he bowed to Zhao Yun, and the meaning of reliance was undoubtedly revealed.

"Zixu is overrated." Zhao Yun smiled and said with a faint humility.

Now that the matter had been decided, those people quickly entered into the specific negotiation of the matter. Without any superfluous nonsense, several people with the same thoughts and purposes quickly reached an agreement: Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun joined Li Sheng's army as guest generals from now on, and were responsible for Li Sheng's "defense" work, and after breaking through the Woniu Cottage and recovering Zhao Yun's war horse, they would be left to stay.

"Why don't you just let us go, but let us stay?" Zhao Yun, the quirky girl, asked with her little head tilted. She is also twenty years old, but the long-term simple life makes her still as naïve as a little girl in some personalities, asking when she wants, saying what she wants, and not knowing what an occasion is.

"Give me some hope, okay? I want you to be such a talented person, I really want to recruit you. Li Sheng heard Zhao Yun's question so directly, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and said what he thought in his heart.

"That's the idea you played." As soon as Zhao Yun heard the elongated voice, Shui Ling's eyes widened all of a sudden, as if he was planning something. "Aren't you afraid of Uncle Liu?" After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yun asked with a smile, "My brother is the person Uncle Liu Huang has always wanted!" And Uncle Liu Huang is a famous hero in the world, aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts with you? ”

"Uncle Liu Huang is human." Seeing that the little girl seemed to have plans to embarrass herself, Li Sheng smiled slightly, but he was against her.

"That's nature." Zhao Yun nodded.

"Uncle Liu Huang is a human being, and I, Li Zixu, am also a human being. Why can Uncle Liu Huang become a hero and move the world, but I Li Zixu can't do it? I think that when the yellow scarf was not revealed, Uncle Liu Huang was just a hawker in Zhuo County, and who in the world knew about him? No one is born a hero, and what I want to do now is to keep working towards heroes. The momentum of the tiger and the tiger emerged from his body with Li Sheng's words. After this call, not only Zhao Yun, but even Zhao Yun, who looked at Li Sheng with an unchanged face, was somewhat different from the original. At this moment, they all understood that this young man, who seemed to be the little brother next door, was hiding in his heart that he also had the ambition to devour the world.

"Ambitious. But it's very immeasurable. Zhao Yun nodded like a big sister and commented on Li Sheng's ambition: "Can't you see the size of the force clearly?" Uncle Liu Huang is much better than you. How can you, a small soldier of a few hundred people, compare with Uncle Liu Huang. Just like you just said. Uncle Liu Huang has all the troops in Runan and tens of thousands of people. How can you compare to him, this starting point is different. ”

"It's different." Li Sheng seemed a little indifferent, "But there is one shortcoming that may make Uncle Liu Huang very painful." He held out a finger and smiled softly.

"What are the drawbacks?" At this moment, even Zhao Yun seemed very concerned.

"Uncle Liu's reputation is too great, and it is easy to arouse the vigilance of others. The power he has at his disposal is not commensurate with his reputation, and in the case of 'persimmons are eaten softly', he is vulnerable to attacks by princes who do not want him to become stronger, as long as he develops a little. It was easy for him to lose the foundation he had worked so hard to build. Li Sheng calmly analyzed: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." If Uncle Huang's power is a leafy tree, it can still withstand the test of strong winds, but for now...... His strength is too much worse than Cao Cao's. Uncle Liu Huang is only good at focusing on the present, and he has never had a long-term plan for how to develop the long-term strategy. ”

"So do you have one?" Zhao Yun, who was outspoken, seemed to be very unaccustomed to Li Sheng's smiling face, and hurriedly asked.

"Me? Naturally, there is. Li Sheng replied very simply.

"Tell me?" Zhao Yun looked at him.

"What you can't say, you can't say until you're my official subordinate. After all, if you go to Liu Bei or someone else, what I say will become a sharp sword for you. Li Sheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun rolled her eyes: "You are really confessing!" ”
