Chapter 38: The Return
Lu Bu said goodbye to his family, got on his horse and left Jiuyuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
first crossed the Yellow River, and then rode a horse and swayed forward slowly, anyway, he had enough time to recover his life, and the rest of the many generals had not returned to Jinyang to resist the Quartet, so Lu Bu naturally didn't have to hurry, just regarded it as a holiday tour, walking aimlessly on the vast land between Jinyang City and Jiuyuan.
Lu Bu rode on the black-maned horse and let the horse walk forward, his butt sat firmly on the horse's back and swayed from side to side with the horse's movement, Fang Tian's halberd was too long, but there was no way to put it away, so he was very casually in the hand holding the reins, so a man in military uniform could be seen on the grassland with a halberd horizontally, lazily riding on the horse and swaying forward slowly.
"Do you want to go to the clouds to see Gao Shun and them?"
Wuyuan County looks like a human head with a ponytail on the map, the head is at the border, the horsetail is obliquely inserted into the middle of Yunzhong County and Xihe County, and now it is almost near the Wudu in the Mawei part, and it is only a few miles up to enter the Yunzhong boundary, which is still relatively close, Lu Bu walked here, remembering that Wei Xu Gaoshun was the leader of the troops to Yunzhong, and he had a whim.
"Forget it, lest the news of my appearance in the army reach the old man in Ding Yuan, and it will be troublesome."
Lu Bu shook the thought and continued to walk forward happily and heartlessly.
Feel the horse's steps up and down, the horse's hooves on the grass are completely different from the feeling of stepping on the cold street, and the sound is softer and warmer.
Although the current state is fighting on all fronts, the war does not seem to affect the beauty of this vast grassland.
Although the biggest war in the whole world now comes from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the biggest threat to the state at this moment is the northern Xianbei, which is different from the Xiongnu who have gradually declined for a hundred years, Xianbei is a newly grown young nation, they are fighting, learning, vibrant, like a newborn baby is gradually growing up.
The Xiongnu sent troops to annex states in order to rob the Han of grain, but Xianbei would not be so shallow, they came to occupy it. This time, the Xianbei people did not use many troops, less than 50,000 people, but they were more terrifying than the Huns, because they did not rush forward or be greedy for merit, and they had a basis for advancing and retreating.
Lu Bu felt that it was not difficult for Wei Xu and Gao Shun to defeat Xianbei, but the more he thought about it, the more Lu Bu's heart felt that he was enveloped by a dark cloud.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Xianbei's attack this time must be just a temptation, he wants to use 50,000 people to do an experiment to see if the camel of the Han Dynasty is dead.
If the Han Dynasty is rotten to the end, then the next major invasion is not far away, if the Han still has enough energy to fight against the foreign invasion, then Xianbei will wait, but they will always look for an opportunity to eat the Han like a wolf sleeping next to the Han Dynasty, and it is not a good thing to have such a potential threat.
Lu Bu was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance, so he looked up, and there were many people in the distance, like a group of refugees shouting and running forward.
Since the other eight states were affected by the Yellow Turban War and the chaos, there are more and more refugees in the world, but the whole world is suffering from the war, these refugees who want to escape the war find that no matter which direction they are fighting, where is there a place for them to flee, as a result, some people think of the poor but relatively stable state, but why are these refugees running like this abnormally?
"Boom ......"
The sound of many horses galloping came, and Lu Bu judged that there were twenty horses, and these people who came gradually appeared on the distant horizon, dressed in disheveled clothes and waving scimitars in their hands.
Horse thief.
Lu Bu's heart sank, most of the horse thieves on the grassland were begging for a living everywhere, only chasing property and food, what could be worth chasing after these refugees? So he moved forward a little closer to make it easier to observe.
The group of refugees ran forward desperately, and the horse thieves followed closely. The refugees were all in rags, worse than the beggars in the city, and in a moment a woman of about thirty years old could not run, and after a little slower her pace was overtaken by a horse thief behind her.
Seeing that he had caught up with the refugees, the thief had a cruel smile on his face, and he rushed forward at an accelerated pace, raising the scimitar in his hand and slashing it down.
The woman was running, and her ears suddenly increased to the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and then a sharp pain came from her back.
"Ahh
The woman screamed and thrust forward, her face contorted with the pain of the knife, and she looked like she was about to fall to the ground.
"Poof"
The horse thief from behind followed her with a knife in the neck, and the woman fell to the ground and died with a terrible wound in her neck.
The group of horse thieves quickly caught up with all the refugees, and with their knives in hand, they saw the refugees in the distance fall in pieces, and in less than a moment they were all on the ground.
Lu Bu saw the whole process from a distance, and his hand held Fang Tian's halberd so much that it was about to be embedded in the flesh, and his whole body trembled with anger.
I saw that the horse thieves in the distance had slaughtered the refugees, and they did not get off their horses and loot any property. Dozens of people rode around the corpses, happily spun in circles, and from time to time burst into a few laughs, it turned out that they were just looking for fun.
"Ah!!h
Lu Bu mentioned the halberd, ignoring that the black-maned horse might not have fully recovered, and shot the arrow away.
To be honest, after coming to the Han Dynasty for so many years, and living in the horse for such a long time, if you usually see a small group of horse thieves looting, Lu Bu is not very good at it, after all, there are too many people who can't find a way to live in the troubled times, and most of the people who are robbed are rich businessmen.
Lu Bu kept beating the horse's buttocks as if he had returned to the battlefield, the high-speed sprint made his hair fly and swing, and the anger in his heart burned in Lu Bu's chest like a raging fire, these horse thieves obviously took pleasure in killing, and their conscience had been lost and they lived like beasts.
"Take your life!"
Lu Bu was about to catch up, worried that the horse thief would escape, so he raised the speed of the horse faster and faster.
The horse thief saw the person who looked like a general, but there was only one, and he looked at the grassland of the vast desert, and there were many people on his side, so he turned towards Lu Bu one by one.
Suddenly, Lu Bu knocked away the scimitar in the hand of a horse thief, and put the halberd against the man's throat, and the corpses of the horse thief were everywhere, this was the last horse thief.
Lu Bu said angrily, "Why did you kill them?"
The horse thief fought with his teeth and stammered, "I was bored after a morning of shopping today, and then I saw ......"
"Poof"
Lu Bu didn't let him finish, and a halberd stabbed him in the throat.
Lu Bu pulled out his halberd, wiped the blood on the dead horse thief, and was about to leave with a cold snort.
"Hmmm......"
A faint voice suddenly rang out from among the dead refugees.
Lu Bu was shocked by lightning, and hurriedly dismounted and looked for the source of the sound.
Not far away, there seemed to be something underneath the two corpses, rising and falling slightly.
"Yikes!" Lu Bu brushed aside the corpse and was greeted by a pair of bright eyes.
Lu Bu helped her up, it was a little girl about seven or eight years old, she was not injured, she should have been protected by someone who was dying, Lu Bu looked at this little girl, her clothes were dirty, her hands and many places on her body were black, her face was splashed with blood, and her hair was scattered and draped, she should have been wandering with her parents and these refugees for a long time.
Lu Bu stretched out his hand to help her wipe the blood on her face, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.
The girl kept looking at the person in front of her who had saved her with her beautiful eyes, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she threw herself into Lu Bu's arms and cried: "Dad! Are you back looking for Lingqi? ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, but how could he bear to tell her the truth.
"Uh...... Yes, it is. ”
"Great!" Lingqi looked up at Lu Bu with tears on her face and smiled, innocent, "Some people say that you won't come back when you go to the battlefield, but my mother and I are still waiting for you at the city gate every day......"
"But, but," Lingqi cried as she said wow, "Daddy is back, but mother, mother...... Ah~ah~"
Lingqi couldn't stop wiping her eyes, pointing to the already cold corpse on the side with one hand, tears raining down.
Lu Bu looked at Lingqi helplessly and didn't know how to comfort her, and suddenly resented this wave of horse thieves in his heart.
"Ahh
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and stabbed a halberd into the corpse of a horse thief, slammed it upward, and smashed the halberd in his hand on the corpse flying in mid-air.
"Bang"
The corpse of the horse thief exploded into a mist of blood, and Lu Bu's anger improved.
Lu Bu turned around, wiped the tears from his face for Lingqi, put his hands on her shoulders, and said seriously, "Lingqi?"
"Uh-huh, Zhang Lingqi." The little girl nodded.
"Lingqi, listen. Many things have passed, and many people have died, but they did not die for the sake of our pain. Live well, remember the past, but forget the pain. My surname is Lu, and if you follow my surname in the future, I will be your father, okay? ”
The little girl nodded.
Lu Bu also nodded, silently picked up Lingqi, got on the horse, and returned to Jinyang.
Zhang Liao Gaoshun had already returned to Jinyang, set up a barbecue in the yard, made good tea, sat on the stone pier with Erlang's legs crossed and chatted, Yan Qiao'er dismantled and knitted a bunch of wool on the side, pouted in annoyance, and happened to see Lu Bu coming in.
"Haha, you are going to die this time, Ding Yuan knew that you let the Huns go, so he jumped to his feet in anger on the spot, see how he punishes you this time!" Gao Shun gloated.
"Huh?" Zhang Liao was also about to open his mouth to tease, but at a glance he saw a little girl hiding behind Lu Bu, who was carefully leaking half of her face to look at the three people in the courtyard. "Who is this girl?"
"Yikes! What a cute little sister, come, come to my sister. Yan Qiao'er saw Lingqi and hurriedly said.
On the way, when Lu Bu passed by the city, he had already bathed Lingqi and changed his clothes, and now Lingqi is no longer the appearance when she fled, she looks clean and clean, and she looks quite cute.
Lu Bu nodded to Lingqi, and Lingqi ran to Yan Qiao'er's side by herself and was held in Yan Qiao'er's arms.
"Little sister, what's your name, whose girl is it?"
"My name is Lu Lingqi, and I am my father's daughter." One finger at Lu Bu.
Zhang Liao stopped drinking tea.
The barbecue on the side of Gao Shun's mouth fell on his body.
Yan Qiao'er almost didn't hold Lu Lingqi steady.
The three of them looked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu: "......"
Gurgling, purring......
"That's it." Lu Bu sat down and took a sip of tea, and Lingqi's tears couldn't help but flow from her eyes.
Zhang Liao Gaoshun touched Lu Lingqi's head, and Yan Qiaoer hugged Lingqi tightly in her arms in distress, with tears in her eyes.
"Lingqi doesn't cry, I will be your mother in the future."
"Yes, mother."
"Good way~"
Gao Shun jumped up: "Alas! That's not right! ”
Pointing at Lu Bu, "You are Dad." ”
Pointing at Yan Qiao'er, "You are a mother." ”
Pointing at himself again, "It's nothing wrong with me!" ”
Yan Qiao'er twisted her head, "No matter!" Anyway, I want to be Lingqi's mother! ”
Gao Shun also pouted: "Then I don't care!" I'm going to be a dad! ”
Zhang Liao raised his hand: "It's better to count me in."
So Lu Lingqi had three new fathers and one bride......
