If it is spring and summer, this place should be green mountains and green waters, and pleasant days.

But now it is the tail of July, autumn is also the air, the trees are bleak, and the grass leaves are yellow.

Although it has not yet entered the late autumn, everything has shown signs of decay.

By the river, the grass was wilting, the dew was stained with clothes, and it was a little cold in the morning.

Yuan Shao's army was now stationed in Yanjin, an important ferry on the banks of the Yellow River, and Chen Nuo came out of the Yanjin camp early in the morning, grazing a dozen of his horses. The dew is refreshing in the morning, and when it comes to noon, the sun is shining, and the body is very comfortable.

Chen Nuo went down to the river and smashed the brushes with handfuls of twigs to wash the mud and dirt of the horses.

Chen Nuo has done these jobs before, or rather, this is his job in the first place.

His memory had taken on a new harvest, and he remembered something.

Before this, Chen Nuo, the original owner of the body, was originally a horseman, but because Yuan Shao passed by here one day after a defeat, it was he who dispersed the horses in his hand and lured the thieves to rob them, so that Yuan Shao had a chance to escape.

After Yuan Shao was saved, he thought that this groom had a sharp head, so he entrusted him to go deep into the Zhaofu military camp to spy and collect intelligence for him.

Now that he has come back ahead of schedule, he still has to go back to his old job before Yuan Shao appoints him to his new position.

After washing the horses, Chen Nuo returned to the shore and let the horses run along the river.

He lay on the grass with his hands on a pillow, soaking up the sun.

In these days at the end of the Han Dynasty, every day was not exhausted, racking his brains to find ways to save his life and deal with various traps, so he had to face those cruel killings with his own thin flesh and blood, and there was not a day when he did not live in tension and excitement. Well, now it's rare to steal half a day's leisure, you can lie down so quietly for a while, no one disturbs.

The sky is long, and the white clouds turn into divine horses, galloping freely.

The sky is so blue, the water is so clear, and even breathing is so refreshing.

Looking at the herds of horses bowing their heads to gnaw grass, or drinking water on the riverside, Chen Nuo felt more comfortable than he had ever been.

It would be nice if we could do that forever.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the caress of the sun and the breeze.

Time passed like this, and I don't know how much time had passed, but when Chen Nuo opened his eyes again, the sun was already tilting towards the west. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps could be heard in the western mountain road, and in the distance, the dust rose, and the birds in the forest were startled and danced towards the sky.

It seems that many people have come to listen to this voice, no less than thousands. This place is Yuan Shao's camp, who dares to break in so presumptuously?

Chen Nuo took a horse, jumped up, and quietly approached the team. After taking a shortcut, he reached the front of the group first, dismounted and hid in the bushes beside the road.

In front of the team were hundreds of cavalrymen, behind were hundreds of sword, shield and spearmen, and then behind were all crossbowmen, not to mention more than a thousand people. This crossbow is obviously the main force of this army, and it is very dazzling.

Chen Nuo watched it for a while, and then he saw from the other party's banner that it was Yuan Shao's department, and the general's surname was Lu .

Chen Nuo was overjoyed, and after looking among the crowd for a while, he found that their general Lu Yi was in front of the crossbowmen, in the middle of the team.

Lu Yi was wearing armor, holding a sword in his hand, sitting on the back of a horse, and his expression was a little serious. His eyes were closed, as if he was pondering something, or taking the opportunity to recharge his batteries.

Chen Nuo appeared from the side of the road and shouted, "General Koji! ”

The cavalry at the front of the team was also startled when they found a person suddenly jumping out of the bushes, and immediately grabbed their horses and called for others to be on emergency alert. Others came quickly, spears in hand, and searched the bushes on both sides to prevent enemies hiding in the shadows.

Chen Nuo looked at the cavalry as if they were facing a great enemy, and he also blamed himself for being reckless, so he had to quickly explain to them: "Don't get me wrong, I'm looking for your general Qi!" ”

Those cavalrymen held spears in their hands and slowly approached Chen Nuo, threatening Chen Nuo at the same time: "General Lu is what you want to see, don't get out of the way!" ”

Seeing them approaching step by step, the expressions on their faces could not show the slightest kindness, Chen Nuo was a little worried, if Lu Yi did not appear again, I was afraid that he would be pierced into a hedgehog by the spear in their hands.

Chen Nuo thought about it, and now it was impossible to quit, so he had to break the jar and shout, tearing his throat and shouting, hoping to quickly attract the attention of Lu Yi.

The two or three cavalrymen who were at the forefront looked at each other and were about to take further action against Chen Nuo, but fortunately, a herald arrived behind them and asked them what was going on. Those people temporarily stopped their actions and told Chen Nuo that he wanted to see Lu Yi. The herald told them not to mess around first, that is, they quickly turned to the back and told Lu Yi what had happened.

After a while, the cavalry dispersed, and Lu Yi came from behind.

When Chen Nuo saw the koji on horseback, he recognized it at a glance, and his courage was also strong, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and arched his hand: "General Koji, do you still recognize me?" ”

Lu Yi glanced at Chen Nuo carefully, suddenly opened his voice, and laughed: "It's you!" ”

Apparently recognized Chen Nuo.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yi asked the cavalry to retreat and ordered everyone to rest in place.

Lu Yi asked Chen Nuo to come forward to talk, and he also jumped off the horse.

Lu Yi pinched his shoulder, patted his chest, and asked, "Look at you were about to die that day, why, so soon?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "I didn't see General Koji again, and I personally thanked General Koji for your kindness in that bowl of water, can I, Chen Nuoyan, die so quickly?" ”

Lu Yi frowned and asked him, "Who do you say you are?" ”

Seeing that his expression was a little exaggerated, Chen Nuo took two steps back: "Contemptible Chen Nuo, the cursive words are true, you haven't taken the initiative to mention it to General Qi, a capital crime!" ”

"You are the Chen Nuo who said that he retired from Gongsun Zhan's army with a sharp tooth?"

Lu Yi's expression was even more exaggerated than just now.

Chen Nuo didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but he couldn't hide it, so he had to introduce himself to him again and nod yes.

"Could it be that you also heard about this, General Koji?"

Lu Yi laughed, hugged Chen Nuo's shoulders with both hands, and said a little excitedly: "Speaking of which, this matter is still spreading among our army along with your name." At that time, because of this incident, General Yuan also deliberately and urgently convened all his staff to study countermeasures and discuss how to deal with the next dilemma. And your name, I had already heard of it then! ”

Chen Nuo didn't expect that because of Gongsun Zhan's incident, it would have such an impact, so that Yuan Shao once made him a great enemy. Now that I think about it, when I was in Heyang that day, Xu Huang and the others would drink his wine for face because they heard his name, and it is not difficult to understand.

Chen Nuo hurriedly humbled a few words, and after laughing for a while, he looked at Chen Nuo a few more times and frowned.

He asked suspiciously: "But, I handed you over to General Yuan, and he didn't have any difficulties for you?" ”

Yuan Shao arranged for Chen Nuo to do a conspiracy in Zhao Fu's hands, so Chen Nuo had no choice but to hide it and deliberately said: "That day, I was in trouble, and I had to thank General Lu for your life, and I don't know how to thank you, General Lu." When I met General Yuan, the general knew that I was that Chen Nuo, although he hated me, but he probably pitied me for being a little talented, so he didn't embarrass me and arranged me in the army. The two of them are like my reinvented parents, and I promise that I can only repay them with death in the future! ”

Chen Nuo was about to kneel down to him as he spoke, but Lu Yi hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Where is this?" If you want to talk about that bowl of water again, you'll slap me in the face. If you don't dislike it, you and I will henceforth be brothers. Your brother, my brother, it's so decided. ”

Then he bowed back to Chen Nuo: "Big brother!" ”

Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, this righteous temperament is really bold, and he doesn't ask about age, he just comes up to the eldest brother.

Lu Yi saw where Chen Nuo was still stunned, a little anxious, stretched out his hand, and bowed Chen Nuo to him as well.

Lu Yi smiled: "Big brother, why don't you call me virtuous brother?" ”

“…… Worthy...... Brother ......"

Did this virtuous brother pick it up on the road? It seems so.

Lu Yi took out a pair of knives from his arms, both inlaid with precious stones and pincered with gold edges. One kept himself, handed the other to Chen Nuo, and said, "Big brother, this is my family's heirloom sword, which was given to me by my father before he died." He said that if he found a trustworthy friend in the future and married him, he could give him one handful. I'm going to give you this today. ”

Chen Nuo took it in his hand, the knife was light and aura, and he saw the word "comrade" written on the scabbard.

The knife was slowly drawn, and a cold light immediately shot out from Nei, straight to the human eye.

"Good knives!"

He really wanted to know what was written in the handpiece in Lu Yi's hand, so he took a look at it, and it turned out to be the word "and son".

How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son!

Chen Nuo's chest slowly burned a ball of blood, he put away the knife, looked at Lu Yi, frowned slightly: "You and I have only met twice before and after, at most, you have heard some of my deeds, so you want to marry me and give away family heirlooms, aren't you afraid of doing this?" Aren't you afraid that I'm a vain person? Aren't you afraid that I'm not worthy of being your big brother at all? Why do you believe in me so much? ”

Lu Yi laughed: "To be honest, I don't know. But I have a feeling that you are the brother I have been looking for, the brother who can advance and retreat with me, share weal and woe, and share happiness! Since I believe that you are my eldest brother, unless you don't recognize me as a little brother, you will be my eldest brother until you die! ”

Chen Nuo's whole body was shocked, grabbed his arm, and nodded to him: "Okay, Brother Xian!" ”

They twisted the grass and set up a furnace to worship the heavens three times, which was regarded as a formal union.

Lu Yi stood on horseback and told the whole army that from now on Chen Nuo was his eldest brother, and Chen Nuo's words were his words, and the whole army was jubilant.

Lu Yi jumped off the horse and thought of something: "By the way, General Yuan, did he arrange any position for your eldest brother?" ”

Chen Nuo pointed to the horses that were faintly visible in the distance: "They are my current job." ”

Lu Yi frowned, and said: "General Yuan is too capable of burying talents, big brother, don't worry, if you have a younger brother, the younger brother will tell General Yuan to go!" ”

It is taboo for subordinates and generals to form sworn friends with each other, and it is impossible for him to indulge in Yuan Shao's measurements. Therefore, it is already very difficult for them to tie up the righteousness, if Lu Yi is asked to ask for any official position for his eldest brother, it will not arouse Yuan Shao's suspicion?

Chen Nuo hurriedly persuaded Lu Yi not to meddle in this matter, and when Lu Yi agreed, he thought of something and asked him: "Brother Xian, haven't you been stationed in Yanjin West?" How did you ...... this time?"

Lu Yi said: "Big brother doesn't know, recently General Yuan got the news that Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, two Han Fu generals who have been stationed in Heyang, may have made some moves recently and are ready to lead their troops eastward. And although Han Fu promised to give up Jizhou, he seems to have regretted it recently, and he has been undecided.

General Yuan didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he ordered all the troops to pull out the camp and rush to his Yanjin camp to meet within a time limit. Listening to General Yuan's meaning, he was going to wait for two days before the whole army had to go to Chaoge to further force Han Fu to cede Jizhou. If there is another accident, it may be necessary to meet each other. ”

"It's already that serious?"

Chen Nuo was thinking about it, and was about to talk, when suddenly a woman's exclamation was heard. Chen Nuo didn't know what was going on, but he saw one or two soldiers on the side holding weapons and chasing a woman with a disheveled hair.

The woman was still dressed as a man, but she was short, with thin white arms and long hair, which completely revealed her daughter's identity.

The woman ran around, trying to ask for help, but instead of taking a shot, the ruffians laughed, pushed and tugged, and took the opportunity to rub oil and water on the woman. The woman ran all the way, and the soldiers behind her followed closely, with a hippie smile on her face, completely sweeping away the solemn atmosphere of the first army.

Chen Nuo looked at Lu Yi, thinking that Lu Yi would be annoyed, but he didn't expect him to laugh along with him, and cursed some dirty words in his mouth.

When she got closer, Lu Yi actually ran forward, stretched out a pair of thick arms, and made a gesture to hug her. The woman was startled when she saw it, panicked, and fell into the bushes beside her.

The two soldiers in the back chased after her and tried to catch her, but she kicked her out in a hurry, and one of them immediately ate dog shit and lay on the ground and wailed.

When the soldiers on the left and right saw him, they all laughed and scolded him for not being as good as a woman.

Another soldier saw the skill of her feet, and for a moment he did not dare to be careless, and poked forward with the spear in his hand, shaking his posture. Unexpectedly, the woman stretched out her hand and grabbed it, she stood up with her strength, and the soldier screamed, fell with the previous soldier, and gnawed on the ashes on the ground.

Everyone burst into laughter, only to see that Lu Yi's eyes were red, and he kicked the soldiers on the ground, scolding: "Useless things, even a woman can't deal with them, how can you fight with General Ben in the future?" Look at General Ben's! ”

Since Lu Yi boasted about Haikou, he naturally planned to do it himself. The people who were making fun next to him had to flash to the side, but they blocked the road and prevented the woman from escaping, so that Lu Yi could catch her.

Koji Yi stood there, his body stout, like a god. And the woman standing in front of him was no taller than his chest, and her hair was scattered, and compared with him, the winner was decided.

Lu Yi pressed the sword in his hand, looked at the woman, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his left hand was raised, grabbing her right shoulder.

The woman had been on guard against him, and when she saw him come out with one hand, she did not respond in the direction of his shot, but quickly protected her left shoulder with all her might. Sure enough, Lu Yi's left hand is a false move, and his right hand is a real move.

With a snap, although the woman caught his palm with her bare hands, her arm was numb, and her follow-up was weak, so she was grabbed by Lu Yi with a backhand and sent to her own arm.

"Brother Xian, don't hurt her!"

Chen Nuo was in a hurry, took two steps forward, and hurriedly drank the koji righteousness.

Lu Yi smiled, shook his arm, and sent the woman to the soldier next to him.

He turned around and smiled with Chen Nuo: "Big brother, the eldest husband has to do great things, but you must not pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

At this moment, the woman was caught by the two soldiers just now, held her in her arms, and looked at her with salivation.

"General!"

They were waiting for the general's generous gift, and sure enough, Lu Yi waved his hand and said, "I know that you monkeys are in a hurry, drag them to the back to play, but don't delay everyone's trip!" ”

The two of them looked at the woman in their arms again in disbelief, their eyes glowing green, and the hara on their lips was about to flow out. They were afraid that the general would regret it, so they hurriedly hugged the woman and wanted to flash people. It provoked the soldiers on both sides to be hungry and thirsty, and Baba watched the woman being dragged away, and then looked at Lu Yi, meaning that the general should also have mercy on their brothers.

Chen Nuo couldn't look at it a little, took two steps forward, and said, "Brother Xian, can't you let her go?" ”

Lu Yi looked at Chen Nuo in a little surprise and said, "Big brother, isn't it just a woman, even if you kill her immediately, what can you have?" What's more, I didn't mean to kill her, just play enough when I want to play, just let her go. ”

Chen Nuo's face sank: "But she was also born to her parents, how can she be defiled casually?" Besides, when your subordinates have played, do you think she still has a life? ”

Seeing Chen Nuo's serious appearance, Lu Yi couldn't help but smile, and immediately asked the two to send the woman back, and said: "I can't help but listen to the words of the eldest brother, but if you let her go easily, then my subordinates will never agree." Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless ......"

Lu Yi smiled, looked at the woman, and then at Chen Nuo, the obscene expression on his face was already very obvious.

"Unless you promise her, big brother. If it was a woman that the eldest brother wanted, they naturally wouldn't dare to ask for it again. ”

Both sides looked at Chen Nuo, Chen Nuo scolded the bastard in his heart, and actually led the fire to him. He wanted to refuse, but thinking of the woman's innocence, he stiffened his head and nodded.

Lu Yi looked at it, rolled his eyes, and smiled: "Big brother agreed?" ”

Immediately turned around and scolded the two bastards for not sending people over. Although the two soldiers coveted the woman in their arms very much, they thought that the woman they had a crush on could actually be seen by the general's brother, and the boss had face.

They didn't say a word, they quickly dragged the woman to Chen Nuo and put it down, and then said hello to Chen Nuo, smiled obscenely, and flashed aside.

Lu Yi pushed Chen Nuo and smiled obscenely: "Big brother, everyone is looking at you, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Chen Nuo was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Yi and the soldiers around him all laughed, squeezed their eyebrows, and it was self-evident.

Chen Nuo is so smart that he can't be clear, his brain is big: "Don't be kidding, people are little girls." ”

Lu Yi smiled: "If you don't do this today, even if I want to let her go, everyone is afraid that they won't be able to agree." ”

Chen Nuo was still hesitating, his arm was grabbed by a weak and slender little hand, his body trembled, and the woman's small voice almost trembled in his ears: "Big brother, I am willing to ......"

He didn't look at her the whole time, but he was touched by the sound of 'I do'. He looked at the woman snuggled in his arms. This time, I saw her appearance clearly, with a tall nose, a fair face, and ......

His heart was beating faster and his eyes widened: "You ......"

Before he could say anything, she paused when her fingers lightly pressed her lips.

The woman took him by the arm and, under the gaze of everyone, walked to the bushes beside him, and there were waves of laughter on both sides.
