Chapter 22: The Heroes Defeat Dong (2)
Yewang County on the north bank of the Yellow River. Knowing that the world's heroes were attacking Dong, Han Lie and Xu Huang couldn't help but pay attention.
"Ziyang, if the heroes fight against Dong today, the war in Luoyang is about to break out, and you participated in the assassination of Dong, I am afraid that there are official documents arresting you everywhere in Luoyang, and it is really not appropriate to go to Luoyang at this time." Although Xu Huang did not object to Han Lie going to Luoyang, it did not mean that he was not worried about Han Lie's safety, there would be objective reasons for this, and he immediately expressed his worries.
"Brother Han, what Brother Xu said is right, Daddy is safe and sound now, it doesn't matter if you don't go to Luoyang for the time being, let someone bring a letter to Daddy, and let his old man know that everything is fine with me." Cai Yan has been depressed for the past few days, in fact, she is also worried that when she returns to Luoyang, her father will let her remarry, but she doesn't want to marry to Hedong again, but if it is her father's order, she can't refuse to be disobedient, and it is this contradictory mood that has made her a little unhappy in recent days.
But when Xu Huang's words came out, Cai Yan suddenly seemed to find an excuse for himself not to go to Luoyang, and the feeling of relief after being suppressed was all presented on his face at once, which caused Xu Huang and Li Yang to laugh for a while.
Although Han Lie faintly noticed that Cai Yan seemed to have a good impression of him, although he was a human being in two lives, he was indeed like a blank sheet of paper for his feelings, and he didn't know how to take the initiative to fight for it, nor did he know how to manage it, so for all this, he could only passively choose to go with the flow.
On the contrary, although Xu Huang and Li Yang have not married wives, they are not young after all, and they are related to the ancients, so their thinking is more mature.
"Brother Han, I, I mean we can go to Luoyang later......" Seeing that everyone was making fun of herself, she lowered her head a little shyly for a while, wanting to justify something, but found that it was getting darker and darker.
"Okay, I'll accompany you whenever you want." Han Lie's words came from the heart, but this would make his emotions more inclined to the care of his sister, and he still had concerns about developing a relationship.
It has been a few months since he came to the end of the Han Dynasty, but Han Lie found that he didn't seem to know what to do, in his previous life, he was a pure soldier, he was raised by the constraints of the party and military discipline, although he was enthusiastic, but in fact he didn't have too many ambitions.
befriended Xu Huang before, it was more of an admiration for the ancient sages, and there was not much utilitarianism, and through the life and death experience and getting along along the way, each other's previous feelings had already gone beyond the category of friends and become brothers who could rely on each other in life and death.
But as for the future path, he still can't decide how to go, if possible, Han Lie naturally hopes to have a big manor, usually have nothing to do with horse racing, go out to see the scenery, find three or two friends to drink and brag, and then live this life happily.
But the reality of the past few months told him that all this is obviously impossible, there is chaos everywhere, the government is rotten, and the thieves are rising, where is there still half a pure land?
After getting Han Lie's answer, Cai Yan's mood suddenly became beautiful, and she secretly looked up at Han Lie, and saw that Han Lie didn't notice her, so she lowered her head again when she was a little at ease.
After staying in Yewang for a day, Han Lie and his entourage immediately turned around and rushed to the sour dates.
Sour jujube is the place where the alliance of the world's heroes is located this time, Han Lie decided to go to sour jujube, more to meet the world's heroes for a while, he wants to see if there is anyone worthy of his refuge, so that he can also end such a clueless wandering, in fact, if it wasn't for Cai Yan's request to go to Luoyang, he didn't even know where to go next, because he found that although the world was big, he really didn't seem to have a place to go.
When he came out of the fishing village in the East China Sea, the purpose was to clean up the remains of the Chen family's unjustly killed family, but now his wish is also forgotten, and to complete what Chen Bo said to restore the reputation of the Chen family, it seems that it is impossible in the short term, because now he and Dong Zhuo have become mortal enemies, and the emperor and the court are controlled by Dong Zhuo, so to restore the reputation and glory of the Chen family, there is only waiting for the next opportunity.
Over the past few days, Cai Yan has learned to ride a horse, although she is not very good at riding, she can still control the horse skillfully, and under the conscious guidance of Han Lie, Cai Yan has also strengthened her physical exercise, the purpose of this is naturally to make her more adaptable to the hardships of the journey.
Fortunately, Cai Yan looks delicate, but she is very strong in her bones, and she has a good physique, so she has gradually adapted to it along the way, and before arriving at Sour Jujube, Han Lie even asked her to change into men's clothes.
The purpose of this is naturally not to attract the attention of others, after all, the sour jujube alliance, it is a group of heroes, and he took Mei Jiao Niang to go, which is really eye-catching.
For this reason, Han Lie also equipped Cai Yan with a short sword as a self-defense weapon, Cai Yan did not resist Han Lie's arrangement in the slightest, on the contrary, there was a sense of happiness.
The small city of sour jujube has become the center of the world's attention at this time, not only the heroes gathered, but also the hermits and sages from all walks of life have mixed in it, plus the total number of people in various departments is as much as 200,000, and the people of this small city are boiling, day and night.
Han Lie and his entourage sold the surplus horses in Wushe County before entering the sour date, leaving only four sturdy horses as a substitute, and the money from the sale of the three horses was based on the results of the discussion of several people.
As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on a saddle. Since he came to meet with the heroes, he naturally couldn't be too shabby, of course, Han Lie was not a pompous person who paid attention to pomp, but he knew that this alliance would inevitably lead to battle, and at the moment, he and Xu Huang both lacked weapons to take advantage of, so it was naturally quite necessary to take this opportunity to create a weapon at hand.
In order to build weapons, they deliberately stayed in Wushu for three days, and Han Lie and Xu Huang even participated in the creation of weapons in the blacksmith shop.
Han Lie created a horse chopping knife, the whole knife is seven feet eight inches long, the blade is three feet eight inches long, the handle is four feet long, and the knife weighs thirty-six pounds.
The cost of this horse chopping knife is not small, even if Han Lie personally participated in the tempering, it still cost three thousand five hundred yuan, which is equivalent to the price of a war horse sold, and the materials used are also made of a hundred refining steel, although it only reaches seventy-two refinements, but the heavy blade is enough to make this knife exert its most powerful power on the battlefield.
Xu Huang's axe-bladed gun is not too expensive, the seven-foot-long axe-bladed gun not only has a one-foot sharp gun head, but also an axe blade, which can not only stab but also slash, with a total weight of twenty-seven pounds, and has reached the weight of a heavy weapon.
The chopping knife and axe blade gun are heavy weapons, and the cost is naturally high, as for the armor, it is much simpler, and they each bought a good leather armor, and they each bought a bow and arrow, for bows and arrows Han Lie and Xu Huang are not masters, let alone Li Yang, but they are also used with bows and arrows at critical moments.
Han Lie also added twelve iron nails this time, as his secret weapon, he was good at flying knives in his previous life, but due to technical limitations, he could only use iron nails to replace flying knives.
Han Lie, wearing a leather crown and leather armor, riding on horseback, had a horse chopping knife in front of him, and he really had a little bit of the spirit of a horizontal knife; Xu Huang, Cai Yan, and Li Yang, who followed closely on the left and right, swaggered all the way to the gate of Sour Jujube City.
"Who are you, please show your passpass." Seeing that Han Lie and his entourage did not show the token, the captain of the city gate vigilantly led the sergeants to surround him.
"We are the generals of Han Envoy Jun, and I came to Sour Jujube to obey my orders, where did I get the token?" The Han envoy in Han Lie's mouth is Jizhou Mu Han Fu, and the reason why he reported Han Fu's name is that his identity really has some relationship with Han Fu.
