Seeing Gong Du's face, Liu Bi hurriedly put down the wine cup in his hand, and said with a little drunkenness: "Senior Brother Gong, what happened?" ”

Gong didn't answer, but stared at Gong Wu deadly, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, are you sure you read it right?" ”

Gong Wu glanced at Jian Yong, who was sitting at the top, and stopped talking. And Jian Yong had already put down the wine cup and looked at Gong Du suspiciously. His heart was also secretly beating a drum, not knowing what had happened, and whether what had been said to be good would change.

But I heard Gong Du say: "If there is a fart, release it quickly, and there are no outsiders here." ”

Gong Wu was most afraid of this elder brother of his own family, and when he saw Gong Du, he was angry, and hurriedly said: "The villain has followed the general for so many years, and the villain has seen that thing, and he will never be mistaken, and, moreover, that ......"

Gong knew that he was inconvenient to say in front of Jian Yong, so he waved his hand and said, "Well, you don't need to say it, take me to see it." ”

Jian Yong finally couldn't help but stand up, arched his hand and said, "General Gong, could it be that something important happened, I don't know if Jian may have anything to do with it?" ”

Gong Du didn't dare to be rude to Jian Yong, so he arched his hand and said, "Don't doubt it, Master Jian, it's a little family matter of Gong." Senior Brother Liu, you accompany Master Jian to drink a few more cups here, and Gong will come when he goes to the back. ”

Hearing that it was Gong Du's family matter, Jian Yong naturally inconvenient to ask again, turned to Liu Pi and said, "It's okay, General Liu, then let's continue to drink." ”

Liu Bi drank another glass with a smiling face, but he didn't think so. Jian Yong didn't know Gong Du, but he knew Gong Du well. Gong Du is the same as him, because of participating in the Yellow Turban**, his family has died. And Gong Du has no children and is not lustful, after occupying Runan, he didn't even have a woman left around, and he could have a fart family affair, which is obviously a pretext to prevaricate Jian Yong. Of course, when it comes to intimacy, the relationship between him and Gong Du is much closer than Jian Yong's, so naturally he won't say it.

Out of the hall, Gong Du hurriedly ran to a well, washed his face with water, and straightened his clothes, and then followed Gong Wu to a side hall. Outside the door of the side hall, several big men with knives and guns blocked Gong Du's way. Although Gong Du and Jian Yong have talked about it, at least before Liu Bei settled in, this was still Gong Du's territory, but those big men didn't take Gong Du in their eyes at all, as if they were the masters here.

Gong Du didn't dare to be angry, stood up straight, and said respectfully: "Gong Du came to see the young master, and I ask you to report it." ”

A big man pressed the steel knife in his hand, said lightly, "Wait", and turned into the side hall. After a while, the big man walked out again and said in a deep voice, "Go in!" ”

Gong Du frowned, but these big men were expressionless and refused to say a word. Gong Du raised his foot and was about to enter the door, but another big man reached out to block the way, pointing to the saber at his waist. Gong Du shook his head helplessly, unsheathed his saber and handed it to the big man's hand. The big man got out of the way.

In the middle of the hall, a black figure stood with his back to the door. A tall and stout man stood majestically beside this figure with a helmet and a large sword in his hand. Gong didn't dare to look at it more, took a step forward, lowered his head and said, "Disciple Gong Du pays a visit to the young master!" ”

The black figure slowly turned around, and it was Zhang Ning, the only daughter of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban. Zhang Ning glanced at Gong Du, smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Gong, after many years, it's been good lately." ”

Gong Du raised his head and said in a lost voice: "Young master, it's really you!" ”

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "It seems that Senior Brother Gong is now in the mix, even if the little sister wants to see you, it is very difficult, if it weren't for the little sister showing the token left by her father, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to enter this Taishou Mansion." ”

Gong Du listened to Zhang Ning's words, and sweat was already oozing from his head. Although Zhang Jiao has been dead for many years, and Taiping Dao has fallen apart under the suppression of the government, when he walked into this side hall today, the murderous aura emitted by those big men outside still made him feel terrified.

Zhang Jiao, the great sage and mentor of the year, was an immortal-like existence in the minds of Gong Du and others, and he acted very secretively, whether he left a mysterious power for Zhang Ning, no one can say. In this case, Gong didn't dare to hold up in front of Zhang Ning no matter what.

Gong Du hurriedly said: "Wherever the young master says, it is because these people below have not seen the young master, and they have neglected the young master, and they hope that the young master will forgive their sins." There has been no news of the young master for all these years, and I thought that the young master had ......"

Speaking of this, Gong Du suddenly felt that this was a little unlucky, so he didn't dare to say any more. However, Zhang Ning was not angry, but said lightly: "Senior Brother Gong thought that the little sister was already gone. To tell the truth, my father was killed by a traitor, and my little sister was also killed nine times, but fortunately, with the help of nobles, I was finally able to get out of danger. Now it is considered to be a rich life, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing. ”

Gong Du looked at Zhang Ning carefully. Many years have passed, in addition to being slightly plumper than back then, Zhang Ning not only does not look old, but is more bright and bright, which shows that he has lived a good life over the years. Gong Du hurriedly said: "I see, that's all the immortal masters who have spirits in the sky." I don't know why the young master came here. ”

More than a month ago, Xu Huang received an order from Liu Xin to lead the First Army to move to Guanzhong. In fact, in Liu Xin's order, the garrison of the First Army was extremely extensive, including the entire Sili, Liangzhou, and Yingchuan County in Yuzhou. Since the local armies in the counties had been reorganized, the defensive task of the regular corps was not too heavy. However, there are still many checkpoints in Sili and Liangzhou, such as Tiger Pass, Hangu Pass, Tongguan, Xiao Pass, Yique Pass and so on. These checkpoints are not guarded by the local army, but are all under the responsibility of the regular army.

The First Legion not only had to defend so many levels, but also had to serve as a backup for the Fifth Legion, which was preparing to use troops in the Western Regions and the Grasslands, so the defensive task of the First Legion was still quite heavy. Considering that it will take a long time to adjust the defense next time, this time Zhang Ning also came to Luoyang with Xu Huang.

Thanks to means such as post roads extending in all directions and flying pigeons, what happened in various places can be conveyed to the hands of generals at all levels very smoothly. Therefore, not long after Gong Du and Liu Pi started an incident in Runan, the news reached Luoyang.

Xu Huang's task is only to guard his own defensive ground, and he doesn't care about such news. However, there is no war in the Guanzhong area now, and it is spring when the flowers are blooming, so Xu Huang accompanied Zhang Ning to go out of the city. During the casual conversation, Xu Huang inadvertently mentioned the Yellow Turban Rebellion that took place in Runan.

When he heard that the leaders of the rebellion were Gong Du and Liu Pi, Zhang Ning's heart moved, and he said: "Husband, Lord Liu has a great favor to Ning'er, and Ning'er wants to go to Runan and persuade Gong Du and Liu Pi to come and surrender. ”

The last time Qingxu and the Yellow Turban rebelled, Zhang Ning took the initiative to ask to surrender, but Liu Xin did not agree considering her safety. Xu Huang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The lord won't agree to this matter, so forget it." ”

Zhang Ning was silent for a while, and said, "Husband, if there was no Lord Liu, there would be no you and me today." And Ning'er's revenge was also avenged by Lord Liu. Although Ning'er is a woman, she also knows the truth that she should repay the grace of dripping water with a spring. The resurgence of the Runan Yellow Turban this time is a good opportunity to repay the favor, Ning'er is only afraid that she will miss this opportunity, and there is no possibility of repaying the favor in this life. Ning'er has made up her mind, and she hopes that her husband will be fulfilled. ”

Xu Huang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "This trip is very dangerous, even I can't rest assured, so let's ask the lord to talk about it." ”

Zhang Ning said resolutely: "If you ask Lord Liu, Lord Liu will definitely not allow it." Now, Ning'er has both children on her knees, and she has no regrets when she dies. ”

Xu Huang saw that Zhang Ning was resolute, sighed and said: "You and I are one husband and wife, and if the lord is kind to you, he is kind to me." Ning'er, you are a woman who can repay your kindness, but you are not willing to fall behind as a husband. That's it, I'll accompany you through this experience as a husband. ”

Zhang Ning knew that Xu Huang was worried about her safety, so he hurriedly said: "Husband, you are the commander of the three armies, how can you leave lightly?" ”

Xu Huang waved his hand and said, "Don't say it again, I won't let you go to this dangerous place alone no matter what." ”

As the commander of the three armed forces, Xu Huang naturally wants to hand over the defense. Pang De and Shi Jian were taken aback when they heard the news, and persuaded repeatedly: "The general is the head of the three armies, and the responsibility is heavy, how can he leave lightly without receiving the order of the lord and the general?" ”

Xu Huang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The lord often says that the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside. If you can really persuade Gong Du and Liu Pi to surrender, Yingchuan will have an additional barrier, although it is risky, it is worth a try. But Xu will never watch his woman take risks alone, I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade again! ”

These words were categorical, which moved Zhang Ning for a while, and he couldn't help but tearfully hold Xu Huang's hand. Others are brothers who fight tigers, fathers and sons, and they are going to fight side by side as husband and wife.

Pang De suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "Since it is very beneficial to go to the great cause of the lord, but the general, as the commander-in-chief, must not leave lightly, so as not to lose the pass." The last general is not talented, and he is willing to act on behalf of the general! The last general is loved by the lord and valued by the general, but he has not achieved an inch so far, please give the last general a chance! ”

Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood, turned to Xu Huang and said: "General Pang is right, the husband leaves the station without permission, in case there is a loss in the pass, the slave family will die and it will be difficult to escape the crime." Husband rest assured, the slave family has the token left by his father as a basis, and is escorted by General Pang, and it will definitely be fine. ”

Xu Huang was also awakened by Pang De's words, as the commander of the First Legion, he not only has the responsibility of guarding Sili and Liangzhou, but also has to be ready to reinforce the Fifth Legion at any time, the burden on his shoulders is really not light, how can he miss Liu Xin's major event because of his children's personal affairs? Xu Huang frowned and was silent for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty and said, "Ning'er, you must protect yourself, I will wait for you to come back!" ”
