Chapter 59: Suspicion

It has been half a month since Zhao Yun was transferred from the Baimayi battalion, and now he is a military marquis in the front of Gongsun Zhan's left army, and he seems to have been promoted to a military position, but he has left Nanpi City.

Bai Ma Yicong, as Gongsun Zhan's confidant, is by his side wherever he goes. Gongsun Zhan won Bohai County and occupied Nanpi City, so he stationed the main force near Nanpi, and the three thousand white horse Yicong naturally lived in the barracks built by Yuan Shao in the city, and they were much happier than those ordinary soldiers who lived in simple tents outside the city.

Zhao Yun is now stationed in a place called "Beipi City" thirty miles north of Nanpi City.

Speaking of Beipi City, there is also an allusion. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huan Gong went on a northern expedition to the mountains to this point, in order to repair leather armor for military horses, so he built a leather pavilion, which was later called "Leather City", and then called "North Leather City", and the name of South Leather is because of North Leather City.

Beipi City is close to the confluence of Jiangshui and Zhangshui, there is a place called "Diaoyutai" nearby, where the river leaks waterfalls, reeds are thick, birds inhabit, and it is said that Jiang Ziya fished for a day in the year.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the king of the Shang Dynasty was desolate and unreasonable, and he wanted to build a luxurious deer platform, which was very huge, and the people were wasted. Jiang Ziya, who was a doctor, bluntly admonished him, which made the king angry and ordered him to be arrested. Jiang Shang fled angrily, all the way to the northeast, and then lived in seclusion here until he was recruited by King Wen.

On this day, Zhao Yun, who was a little irritable in his heart, took a few brothers who followed him all the way from Zhending, out of the barracks, and came to the Diaoyutai for a tour.

Although Zhao Yun usually speaks less, he is a thoughtful person, and during this time, Gongsun Zhan's attitude towards him has changed, and he can feel it.

When he defected to Gongsun Chan at the beginning of the year, Gongsun Chan expressed his warmth and welcome to his arrival, and assigned him to the most elite Bai Ma Yi to train in the camp, which made Zhao Yun feel that he had found a place to show his skills. Bai Ma Yi is known as the first in the world, and Zhao Yun is still satisfied with being able to enter such a unit for training.

The martial arts that Zhao Yun learned in the mountains were not the skills of fighting in the army, and it was impossible to ride on horseback all day long to find someone to fight alone, so when he first entered the camp, he was not obvious. In order to improve his skills, in the next few months, Zhao Yun trained hard, and soon mastered the skills of horse fighting and horse archery, and made a name for himself in the camp with a spear.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was still more concerned about Zhao Yun, although he was only promoted to be the commander of the hundred cavalry, but he was very optimistic about Zhao Yun, and often let Zhao Yun lead the team to guard near his Chinese army.

Later, Gongsun Zhan led his troops south to Jizhou, and Zhao Yun also accompanied the army. At that time, Gongsun Zhan declared to the soldiers that he was going south to join Yuan Shao, and then marched west to fight Dong. However, after arriving in Jizhou, Zhao Yun found that Gongsun Zhan was shouting to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but in fact, he was not moving.

Later, Zhao Yun was arranged by Gongsun Zhan to be Guan Jing as an attendant, and went to Gaoyi to question Han Fu together. At this time, Gongsun Chan still attached great importance to Zhao Yun, otherwise he would not have handed over this kind of errand in front of people to him.

In Gaoyi City, Zhao Yun met Han Fu, Gao Gan, and the ...... The eldest son of Liu who made himself a little incomprehensible.

Speaking from the heart, Zhao Yun felt that Liu Gongzi's personality was still good, although he had a bit of a bullying flavor when he spoke, but he could take advantage of the reason, and he was not blindly messing around. If Liu Gongzi can get rid of the problem of foul language, maybe it will be better, right?

It's just that Zhao Yun still can't figure it out, and during the meeting that day, Liu and Gongzi said "Okay!" to himself in public. You're good! My son remembers you! ”

If Liu Gongzi wanted to retaliate, he didn't encounter any trouble in Gaoyi City, and the way back to Nanpi was smooth; If Liu Gongzi is to win over and show goodwill, why does he not have any expressions and actions except for saying this sentence at the meeting?

It was because of Liu Gongzi's words that after returning to Nanpi, Zhao Yun felt that Gongsun Zhan's eyes had changed a little when he looked at him, and then he was transferred out of Baima Yicong not long after, and now he has become a person who is sightseeing and wandering on Diaoyutai.

What was the purpose of Liu Gongzi saying this at that time? Zhao Yun felt the need to figure this out.

"Zilong, I heard that Jiang Taigong met King Zhou Wen who was thirsty for talent on this Diaoyutai back then, you said that we came today, will we also meet such a person?"

Xia Houlan, a fellow villager friend who came out with Zhao Yun to break into the world, said a little hesitantly.

"Yuanqing, don't talk like this, if someone rumors it goes, you still think that we are dissatisfied with General Gongsun!" Zhao Yun reminded Xia Houlan.

Xia Houlan pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Hmph, we are all brothers today, why bother!" Brothers, come out with you, not to be blinded by others. Ming Ming Zilong was polite and courteous when he went to Gaoyi, and he gave General Gongsun a long face, why was he not treated well after he came back? What's more, we were originally children of Jizhou, but this time we followed him to rob Jizhou, if this matter was known by the hometown fathers, it would not poke our backbone! ”

The rest of the fellow villagers who came out with Zhao Yun were also talking about it at this time, and they were quite critical of Gongsun Zhan.

Zhao Yun turned his head away from everyone, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He can keep his mouth shut and not talk nonsense, but if he still wants to restrain his fellow villagers from talking about it on this silent and uninhabited river, it will be unkind.

"Gongsun Zhan, after all, he is not the master!" Zhao Yun sighed in his heart. "It's just that, if I leave Gongsun Zhan, where should I take my brothers to? Xuande Gong has great ambitions and treats me well when he is in Lingzhi, but now he is still under the fence and needs to rely on Gongsun Zhan's snort, how can I vote for him? ”

"Go to Liu and Gongzi? This person has a noble status, a prominent family, and ambition and talent. It's just that it seems to be a bit child's play...... What does it mean if people just say something to themselves? Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, amused by the naΓ―ve idea that suddenly popped up.

Just as Zhao Yun was standing on the riverside frowning and pondering, he suddenly heard a sentence from behind him: "Dare to ask Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong ahead?" ”

"Who are you?" Xia Houlan's somewhat vigilant voice sounded.

Zhao Yun turned around slowly, looked at a man dozens of feet away with a solemn expression, and said, "Yuanqing retreats, the person who came is a master!" ”

The person who came not far away, wearing a hat on his head, covering his face above his nose, and a simple scabbard hanging from his waist, seemed to stand in place casually, and did not react to Zhao Yun's movements.

"Down there is Changshan Zhao Yun, dare to ask your Excellency what to call it?" Zhao Yun quietly took a few steps forward, blocking in front of Xia Houlan and the others.

Looking at Zhao Yun's seemingly unintentional movements, Wang Yue praised in his heart: This son is really good! With this calm and sharp mind alone, my two apprentices are inferior.

"It's inconvenient to tell me my identity for the time being, someone asked me to bring you a letter home!" After Wang Yue said this, he waved his right hand forward, and a yellow light and shadow went straight towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun suddenly took a step forward, and his right hand, which was originally naturally outstretched, turned into an eagle's claw, and grabbed Huang Ying who was coming straight to the door, and firmly pinched a letter between his fingers.

"If there is fate, we will naturally see each other in the future!"

After Wang Yue said this, he turned around and left, without dragging mud and water.

"Zilong, do you want us to stop him and ask him what happened?" Xia Houlan asked with some eagerness.

"No, you're no match for that man. If I talk about fighting alone, I'm afraid that I may not be able to please this person. ”

"What? This person is so powerful! Xia Houlan couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

Zhao Yun ignored Xia Houlan's funny, lowered his head and opened the letterhead, and then his brows gradually furrowed.

"There is no doubt that the handwriting on the paper came from the elder brother, but how could the elder brother's body deteriorate to such a point? How did my brother know that supreme master? ”

With all kinds of doubts in his heart, Zhao Yun immediately returned to the camp with a few fellow villagers.

After a short time, several fast horses galloped out of the camp of Beipicheng and headed straight for Nanpicheng.

"General Qiyu, my brother is critically ill, and I asked someone to send a letter, hoping to see him again when he is dying."

After seeing Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun opened his mouth to ask him for leave.

"Zilong, since it is not for your parents to be in bed, there are no more brothers and sisters in your family? Now that the situation is pressing, Tian Kai and Liu Xuande will go to Nanpi in a few days, and I am planning to let you go to Qingzhou with them. ”

Listening to Gongsun Zhan's words, he seemed to be a little reluctant to let Zhao Yun go at this time.

"Yun's parents are dead, and now only the elder brother remains, and I ask the general for permission to go home to visit!" Zhao Yun's tone of voice was not hurried or panicked, but the expression on his face was very resolute.

"Well, in that case, let's go and go back quickly! When the family is over, you will go directly to Qingzhou to find Tian Kai to report! ”

For Zhao Yun, although Gongsun Chan had some appreciation, it was not to the point that he was reluctant to let him go, so he waved his hand and agreed to Zhao Yun's request to return to his hometown to visit his seriously ill brother.

Zhao Yun thanked him, left in a hurry, and after leaving the city, he rode his horse and galloped wildly, heading straight to the west.

On the third day after Zhao Yun left, Min Chun held a banquet in a wine shop in Nanpi City, and invited Liu Weitai and Li Yizi and several other people who were close to Gongsun Zhan to come.

On the banquet, staggered and drunk, Min Chun inadvertently slipped his mouth and told Liu Weitai, Li Yizi and others that Han Fu wanted to ask Gongsun Zhan for Jizhou soldiers during this alliance, and also said that he would send Zhao Yun to Liu and Liu Gongzi as generals.

The situation during the previous four-party talks had already been spread, and after listening to Min Chun's words, everyone had a feeling in their hearts that it was like this.

"Let me tell you, Han Zhoumu is really obedient to Liu Gongzi now, and if Gongzi wants to be peaceful, he will give Anping; The son asked Zhao Yun, so he found Zhao Yun's hometown and asked Zhao Yun's brother to write to Zhao Yun...... Belch...... Come, come, let's drink, don't talk about this! ”

Min Chun, who was red-faced and red-eared, greeted everyone with a wine bowl.

After the banquet that day, Gongsun Chan knew that Zhao Yun's brother's letter was fake, and it was true that he wanted to leave.

"Humph! Sure enough, he is a person with an impure mind, and I am so important to him! Anyway, it's okay to go, the province will have to watch out for this person in the future! ”

Gongsun Chan said to Liu Weitai, who came to make a small report.
