Chapter 278: Restraining the Horse from the Precipice
Since this expedition, Liu Xin has not taken a good bath, the conditions in the barracks are poor, Liu Xin does not want to be special in front of the soldiers, and always insists on sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, at most at night with cold water to shower, like this comfortable soak in the bath bucket is absolutely impossible,
The door was slowly pushed open, although the sound was very light and light, but Liu Xin, who was lazily leaning against the wall of the barrel with his eyes closed, could hear it clearly, after coming to this new world, Liu Xin's eyesight did not change much, but his hearing became more and more keen, he could even judge from the light footsteps of the people who came that these were two delicate women, if he guessed correctly, the two people who came in should be Lu Bu's wife and daughter,
Liu Xin opened his eyes, and when he looked up, sure enough, a woman, about twenty years old, dressed in a plain robe, holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in her hand, lowered her head and walked in step by step, and before they came closer, she had already asked in a deep voice: "It's Lu Bu's wife and daughter." β
The woman hurriedly pulled the girls beside her, knelt on the ground together, and kowtowed: "The cheap concubine is Lu Bu's wife Yan, who was called to bring the little girl Lingqi to serve the adult. β
Yan Rui didn't know that Lu Bu was dead at this time, until Huang Wan came to the door, only to learn that Chang'an City had changed hands, and a woman born in troubled times was extremely miserable, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to become a doll competing for those who are competing for it, as Lu Bu's wife, she has seen a lot of such scenes, because Lu Bu often snatches other people's wives and concubines home, playing with them wantonly, but she didn't expect that one day it would be her turn, but Yan Rui didn't dare to disobey, even if she wanted to protect her innocence and not be afraid of death, But I can't ignore my young daughter,
Liu Xin glanced at Yan Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Yan, you mother and daughter crawled closer. β
Yan Rui heard Liu Xin tell the two of them to crawl over instead of walking over, her delicate body trembled slightly, this was obviously intended to humiliate their mother and daughter, and not to treat them as human beings, but she understood better that she had no choice now, so she had to quietly pull a handful of Lu Lingqi's clothes and armor, really got on all fours, and crawled straight forward to the edge of the bathtub.
Liu Xin stretched out her right hand, her middle finger gently picked up Yan Rui's chin, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, only to see her with cloudy sideburns and eyebrows, pink face and red lips, eyes like autumn water, and nose like Qiong Yao, she was also a rare beauty, Liu Xin's hand stroked Yan Rui's face without any scruples, completely ignoring that Lu Lingqi was still on the side,
Although Liu Xin hasn't been close to a woman for more than half a year, he has absolutely no intention of venting his desire to do this now, but just to take revenge on Lu Bu, glancing at Lu Lingqi who had just crawled over, Liu Xin still said expressionlessly: "You all get up, Yan, come and help me rub my back, Lingqi, you learn a little on the side." β
When Yan Rui came over today, she already knew that it would be difficult to protect her innocence, but she didn't expect Liu Xin to do those things in front of her daughter, her pink face suddenly turned red, although Lu Bu never avoided her daughter when she acted at home, but Liu Xin was not her husband after all, how could she be embarrassed by this,
Just when she was stunned, Liu Xin had already snorted coldly, Yan Rui didn't dare to hesitate at all, so she had to reluctantly stand up, pick up the sweat towel and soap corner placed next to the bath bucket, and help Liu Xin scrub herself, these jobs are not difficult for Yan Rui, she often has to help Lu Bu take a bath at home, but there is just a different man in front of her, but the strange man in front of her still holds her power of life and death, and can take away her and her daughter's two surnames at any time, although Yan Rui is full of reluctance, but she can only be ashamed and ashamedοΌ
When Yan Rui came today, she deliberately washed off the lead and changed into plain clothes, just to try not to attract Liu Xin's attention, who knew that in this way, it would show off her bright flower and soft jade bones, Liu Xin was still a little hesitant, after all, he came from the later generations, and he felt a little inappropriate to do things against the wishes of women, seeing her so delicate and timid, curly and tingting, her face was like a hibiscus out of the water, and her waist was like a willow in the wind, which aroused Liu Xin's interest, after all, she had not been vented for a long time, Liu Xin's hand couldn't help but climb up Yan Rui's plump and round buttocks,
Just when Liu Xin was a little confused, in a blink of an eye, he saw Lu Lingqi flashing a pair of clear and bright big eyes, staring at herself and Yan Rui tightly, with a trace of curiosity and a hint of panic, Liu Xin couldn't help but shiver, how could she make such a foolish move, in front of such a little girl to spoil her mother, wouldn't it be better than a beast,
Liu Xin hurriedly retracted his hand and said calmly: "Okay, Yan, you take your daughter to wait outside, I will call you if there is something." β
Yan Rui had clearly felt that Liu Xin's big hand was pressing on his plump buttocks and slowly rubbing, knowing that he could not be spared, he was waiting for his clothes to be untied, and took the initiative to throw himself into his arms in exchange for the safety of himself and his daughter, but unexpectedly, his attitude suddenly took a big turn, although he didn't know what to do, but he also had a feeling of being amnestied, and quickly took his daughter's hand and retreated outside, as if he could feel his heart pounding,
Watching Yan Rui's mother and daughter walk out, Liu Xin, who was reining in the precipice, also breathed a long sigh of relief, what happened to him today, is it because Lu Bu said some meat words, she is going to stain her wife and daughter with silver, besides, she is now with a heavy responsibility, and she has not yet had a time to enjoy herself, Cheng Yu's words are still in her ears, and she has forgotten everything, no wonder Cheng Yu made up his mind to follow him to Chang'an, he really can't let him rest assured, thinking of this, although soaked in hot water, Liu Xin still felt that his hairs stood on end, couldn't help touching his forehead, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat,
This frightening woke Liu Xin up completely, and his fighting spirit was almost soaked in this warm warm water, it was really dangerous, Liu Xin couldn't stay in this bathtub anymore, he hurriedly dried himself, changed his clothes, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Biao, quickly assemble the team." β
In just this moment, Liu Xin has already figured it out, if he doesn't catch Dong Zhuo, Guanzhong will not be able to be pacified, and Xiliang will not be able to be pacified, and he is now living in this Taishi Mansion, there is no Dong Zhuo's wife and concubine in it, obviously Dong Zhuo has another hiding place, and needless to say, this hiding place must be in Yiwu, such an important thing he forgot about it, Liu Xin was annoyed,
Soon, a team of men and horses braved the heavy rain to set off from Chang'an City, and at this time, ten miles away from Yiwu City, two teams of men and horses were engaged in a desperate struggle.
Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao led more than 60,000 nomadic cavalry to kill Ben Wucheng in a hurry, not far away, but also encountered the same trouble as Liu Xin, it rained heavily, their subordinates were all cavalry, and the war horse was half of their lives, so it was impossible for them to give up the war horse like Liu Xin and change to walking, and they were not as good as Liu Xin, because they fled in a hurry, not only did they not carry enough supplies, but they also did not even have the materials to build the tent, and the two of them made a decision after a little discussion, Instead of stopping in the same place and getting drenched in the rain, I didn't make the following determination to continue to march towards Yiwu,
This road is naturally very difficult, but there are so many money and beauties beckoning to them, or the morale of the soldiers is boosted, and finally in the afternoon, the rain has decreased slightly, and they are only more than ten miles away from Yi Wu, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as they add more oil, they can reach the destination,
Who knows, a large group of people suddenly appeared in front, these people are in the same situation as Beigong Boyu, the muddy road traps the war horses, and every step is also very difficult, this team of people and horses is Dong Zhuo and his 100,000 Xiliang cavalry,
Dong Zhuo originally planned to go straight to Xiliang after leaving Sanguan, but when he walked halfway, he suddenly changed his mind and ordered the three armies to turn to Yiwu, Dong Zhuo did not think of his family members who stayed in Yiwu, but remembered the gold, silver, jewelry and countless money and grain hoarded in Yiwu City, without these things, even if he fled back to Xiliang, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback.
However, the heavens are not beautiful, the pouring rain not only hindered Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao, but also hindered Dong Zhuo, the Dong Zhuo army, which was also composed of cavalry, was even more unbearable than Beigong Boyu, in just a few years, the arrogant and Yinyi life made the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry that once crisscrossed the northwest become a veteran soldier who could not bear the slightest hardship, as soon as the rain began, many people shouted and refused to move forward, under Dong Zhuo's repeated urging, until after killing a few soldiers at the beginning, the team began to move forward slowly, In fact, all this is Dong Zhuo's own doing, he wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment, but only cared about his own pleasure, never considered a sunny day, a rainy day full of mud in the road in Guanzhong should also be repaired, if it is in Jingzhou, even if it rains heavily for three days and three nights, the road can still be unimpeded,
Like Liu Xin's entry into Chang'an City, the heavy rain blocked the sight and the sound, until the front team of Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao collided with Dong Zhuo's back team, they suddenly discovered the existence of the other party, Dong Zhuo is not a fool, not to mention that Li Ru is a think tank to follow him, how can he not guess what Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao pulled the team to the direction of Yi Wu, Dong Zhuo, who was annoyed and angry, immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team, and wanted to fight with Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao,
Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao are also not ambiguous, since they have come to this point, how can they turn back, not to mention the old hatred that they have inexplicably become Dong Zhuo's shield, without waiting for Dong Zhuo's team to turn around, they have already killed it first,
Although this fight was extremely fierce, but it was also very embarrassing, both sides of the cavalry were also cavalry, but they could not use war horses, but could only dismount and fight, the bean-sized raindrops hit the face faintly painful, the muddy soldiers in the rain could not even distinguish between the enemy and me, can only judge one or two from the weapons used by both sides scimitar and waist knife, but in order to protect themselves, the soldiers can only desperately continue to make slashing movements, many people have not taken care to take a look, as long as they feel that someone is close to their own knife to cut off, Blood mixed with rain stained a piece of yellow earth red,
This melee lasted for two hours, and everyone was red-eyed, because they all knew that they couldn't grab the money and food in the city, and they had no way to support it, as dusk approached, the rain gradually lightened, and the sky gradually brightened, just when the two sides wanted to take this opportunity to gather their men and horses and regroup their formations, there were shouts of killing on their flanks,
