readx; The night sky is like ink, dotted with stars, just like a thousand thoughts, but you can only see your feet, not the future. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Heng was half-lying on the top of the sentry tower, holding a jar of village aged wine in his left hand, and from time to time he raised his neck and planted, his expression changed complicatedly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"For a long night, Brother Cao didn't take a break, but why did he pour himself a drink on the top of this tower?"

"I'm thinking about something." Cao Heng glanced back, but it was Zhao Yun who carried two jars of wine and turned over to the top of the tower. Seeing Zhao Yunlu's hand, although Cao Heng was amazed in his heart, he took a sip on his face quietly, looked at the stars in the sky, and said, "Think about the past, think about the future." ”

Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness. Zhao Yun carried two jars of wine to the top of the tower seemed simple, but Cao Heng knew in his heart that he would never be able to do it. Why? Because Cao Heng's foot kung fu is not as dexterous as Zhao Yun's. You know, the top of this sentry tower is not the place where the sentries stand guard on weekdays, but the real top! That layer of wood to keep out the wind and rain! To get up here, there is no ladder, so you can only grab the edge of the watchtower and turn over! Imagine that Zhao Yun is holding a wine jar in both hands, how to catch it? You can only rely on your feet!

"In the past? Future? Zhao Yun put the two jars of wine on the ground, and then sat down beside Cao Heng, "What Brother Cao said was so general, Yun was confused. ”

"Zilong...... You and I are equals, so you don't have to be so polite, you can just call me Boyan. He took another sip and said lightly: "If you treat me as a brother......

"Since that's the case, then Yun might as well be respectful and obey his fate." What else can Zhao Yun say? Cao Heng has said everything to this point, if he does Brother Cao, Brother Cao, it will be too bad to give Cao Heng face - this is not Zhao Yun's character. Zhao Yun, although he is the most loyal Han general in the entire Three Kingdoms, is not a pedantic Confucian, he is respectful, but he will never be loyal.

"That's good, that's good, hahahaha!!" Cao Heng grabbed Zhao Yun's shoulder, held the wine jar and laughed: "Come on, come on, drink with me!" ”

"Wine has to be drunk, but not now." Zhao Yun quietly got out of Cao Heng's embrace, "I don't know where Brother Boyan is going?" ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Heng was a little confused when he heard it.

"If Brother Boyan really set off from Qingfeng Village, he would have arrived at Zhending County long before sunset, so why come here for a night?"

Now Cao Heng understood, Zhao Yun was suspicious of him! Thinking about it carefully, if he hadn't taken out Luo Fang's head at that time and calmly told the facts, which made Zhao Yun have doubts, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to enter! After all, he stayed with the bandits who had robbed Zhaojiazhuang all the year round, and Zhao Yun should be more vigilant, as for Zhao Yun's words at that time...... The battle is real, and I don't have any doubts, I'm afraid it's just to give Cao Heng some face.

Cao Heng thought that even if he didn't drink here tonight and went to bed obediently, I am afraid that Zhao Yun would knock on the door to ask for an explanation or simply stay outside the door to prevent himself from going out to report the news. After all, Luo Fang's head can only mean that Luo Fang is dead, not that Qingfeng Village has disappeared since then...... If there was infighting in Qingfeng Village and Luo Fang was killed, the new boss thought of a plan, let the large army wait outside, let a team of people go in first, and then join forces in the middle of the night, so as to take Zhaojiazhuang without spending a single soldier? So what to do? As for why he didn't immediately drive Cao Heng and the others out, but chose to come to Cao Heng at night...... Maybe it's because he's not sure which one is possible! But no matter what, it can be seen from this small incident that Zhao Yun is quite talented as a general - steady and able to understand strategies. Not only that, but it can also be seen that he has a tolerant heart - in fact, if Cao Heng really has bad intentions, even if he asks in person, he can't ask anything, and if he changes to a strategist, he will definitely dig a bunch of pits for Cao Heng to find out the truth...... But he didn't, Cao Heng didn't think that Zhao Yun would not think that what he asked might be a lie...... Zhao Yun wanted to give him a chance to turn himself in, which was the only possibility that Cao Heng thought of. Although it sounds a bit silly, this may be Zhao Yun's characteristic.

"So you still don't believe me......" Cao Heng took a sip suddenly, as if he was already drunk, silently looked at the dark distance, and asked faintly: "Zilong, do you have any relatives?" ”

"......" Zhao Yun also seemed to remember something sad, and his voice was much lower, "A sister." ”

"Very good, you still have a sister...... Cao Heng smiled as if self-deprecating, "But what about me?" Father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, master, brother...... They are all in another world, even my sister left me not long ago, in this world, I don't have a single relative......" said and took another sip of the plant, "I thought it would be ...... From today onwards there can be one more brother, but ...... Looks like I'm wrong. ”

"It's the clouds that think too much, it's the clouds' fault!" Zhao Yun seemed to be also aroused, his face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or excited, "If you don't dislike it, Yun is willing to marry Brother Boyan as brothers of the opposite sex and never deviate!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Cao Heng said hello three times in a row, took a jar of wine brought by Zhao Yun, opened the mud seal, bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it, "Come on!" ”

Zhao Yun did not hesitate, took the wine jar, and also bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it.

"Zilong, how old are you now?"

"Six out of ten."

The ancients did not necessarily have to take the word when they were crowned at the age of 20, and many people knew their words early when they were young in order to facilitate the call of relatives and friends...... Anyway, the coronation is just a ceremony...... Even some poor people are illiterate, and their names are given casually, where are the words to be taken!

"I was a year older than you, so I brazenly called myself a big brother."

"That's how it should be." Zhao Yun waved his hand, "Do you worship heaven and earth at this time?" ”

"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, right now." Although Cao Heng knew what Zhao Yun meant...... But why does it feel so weird? By the way, at that time, getting married was not a matter of worshipping and bowing and then sending to a cave house or something, which was much more troublesome than this......

Since they had already decided, the two of them stopped grinding, immediately knelt up, and shouted loudly in unison: "Although Nian Cao Heng and Zhao Yun have different surnames, since they are brothers, they will work together to save the poor and help the needy, report to the country, and go down to Lishu." I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven have learned from this heart; Treachery and ingratitude, heaven and man kill together! After the oath was finished, the two lifted the wine jar, and one person and a half jar, and in an instant the jar of wine with blood bottomed out.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Hahahaha!!"

The two hugged each other and laughed for a while, and then sat down again and talked carefully.

"Zilong ......"

"Huh?"

"That, it's actually ...... to come and stay overnight today" Although the topic had been terminated just now, Cao Heng still planned to explain, after all, since they were brothers, they must not allow any inducement that could become a mustard exist...... Of course, a little secrecy can be kept...... Besides, even if Cao Henghe confessed it, Zhao Yun probably wouldn't believe it, right? After all, this thing is too mysterious, especially for people at this time, what to travel through...... I've never heard of it!

"The eldest brother doesn't need to say much, the eldest brother believes that the eldest brother has no bad intentions." Zhao Yun smiled very calmly.

"Then I'll be relieved." Cao Heng also smiled and took another sip of wine, "What does Zilong plan to do in the future?" ”

"I don't know." Zhao Yun shook his head, revealing a rare blankness, "Maybe it's here to guard your hometown......"

"This can't be done......" Cao Heng seemed to have turned on the ideological education mode again, "You can keep the villagers in one place, but what about more people of the big Han?" What do they do? ”

"......" Zhao Yun showed a look of struggle, and muttered, "Then big brother, what do you say?" ”

"I think ......" Cao Heng was also a little annoyed about the fact that he suddenly had a hot brain and bowed to Zhao Yun - he originally just planned to accept Zhao Yun as his subordinate in the future, but now that he has worshipped, he can only take one step at a time...... Besides, he didn't suffer a loss, and he ...... Zhao Yun's big brother! It's cool to think about! "The Han Dynasty has become like this now, completely because those eunuchs and ministers deceived the Holy Hearing, and the son of today could not sympathize with public opinion, and at the same time, he allowed the bandits and bandits to be unleashed, and refused to send troops to suppress the bandits! Woe to eunuchs! Zilong ...... What do you think? ”

"......" Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then nodded.

"So I want to buy an official to do it, a border official...... Right Beiping Taishou! ”

"Buying an official?" Zhao Yun was very surprised, in his opinion, those who bought and sold official positions were all ...... "Big brother, how can you ......?"

"I also have no choice." Cao Heng shook his head a little helplessly, "The current official positions are in the hands of those eunuchs, if I don't buy it, even if my military achievements are world-famous, compared to the champion Hou of the previous world, I will never get even a small sesame official, and if I can't be an official, I have no reason to recruit soldiers and expand the troops under my command, there are no troops...... I can't fight them...... Being a brother is also a last resort. Moreover, while being an official on the border, he can also fight against foreigners, which can be regarded as fighting for a peace for my Han people from another aspect. ”

"......" Zhao Yun thought for a long time, and then shook his head and sighed, "Big brother, you're right!" The calamity of eunuchs is far greater than that of bandits and bandits! After a pause, he asked again: "But the eldest brother just came out of the mountains and forests, where did he get the money to buy the position of the border land guard?" ”

"Don't hide it from the second brother," Cao Heng had no choice but to flicker, "I have an ancestral heirloom, the surface is smooth, and the light can be seen, I only thought it was a special bronze mirror, but I didn't want it to be a strange thing!" Sell it to those rich merchants and magnates to get a lot of money! ”

"Then ......" Cao Heng looked at Zhao Yun's clear eyes, "Is the second brother willing to help his brother?" ”

“……”

Under the starry sky, there seemed to be only two pairs of eyes looking at each other.

After a moment, Zhao Yuncai said in a firm tone:

"I wish to follow the eldest brother!"
