Chapter 246: Cabin in the Woods

Holding a long sword and rushing into the wolves, Liu Wei and Deng Zhan were like crazy, the long sword in their hands flew up and down, and a group of sturdy wild wolves were actually split by them more than a dozen in an instant.

The sturdy wolves were slashed to the ground one after another, and those wolves that were relatively small and not very strong were driven by the two of them, and they rushed into the distance.

After chasing the wolves for a while, when the wolves ran away, Liu Wei and Deng Zhan stopped, glanced at each other, and let out a long sigh.

In the face of wolves, ordinary people can only be torn apart and swallowed by wolves except jumping on trees to dodge, but Liu Wei and Deng Zhan relied on the long swords in their hands to disperse this group of predators who have few natural enemies in the jungle, and it cannot be said that they are somewhat lucky today.

"The wolves are gone!" Putting away the long sword and returning to the big tree where the boy was hiding, Liu Wei looked up at the boy on the tree and asked, "What's your name?" Where do you live? ”

"My name is Lu Yu, who are you?" The wolves had been driven away, and the boy who was trembling all over his body that had been frightened before had come back to his senses at this moment, and his mood had eased a lot while sitting on the branch of the tree, he looked down at Liu Wei who was standing under the tree, and asked him: "Seeing that you are wearing the clothes and armor of officers and soldiers, how dare you be called Your Highness?" ”

"Did you hear that?" As soon as Lu Yu's words fell, without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, Deng Zhan on the side raised his head and said to him: "I thought that your kid was scared to pee, and he couldn't hear the two of us talking." Since you know that the two of us are wearing the clothes and armor of officers and soldiers, I think you have seen some of the world. This is His Royal Highness the current King Hongnong......"

"...... King Hongnong?" Without waiting for Deng Zhan to finish speaking, Lu Yu turned over, grabbed the branch with both hands, and wanted to jump to the ground.

Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward, reached out to support his buttocks, and hugged him off the tree.

"Lu Yu see His Highness!" After all, the child's heart is more innocent, knowing that Liu Wei is the king of Hongnong, Lu Yu did not distinguish between the true and the false, just was hugged by Liu Wei off the tree, knelt on the ground, and said to Liu Wei: "My father is a great Han Shangshu, and he resigned from the government because of the crime of Dong Zhuo and lived in seclusion in the mountains. In the mountains these days, I often miss His Royal Highness......"

Lu Yu's demeanor was very in line with the etiquette of the children of the scholar clan, which was completely different from the children who grew up in the mountains and wilderness, so that Liu Wei had to believe that what he said was true.

"Lu Shangshu is an important member of the Han family, even if he retires, he will not even have to collect firewood by Xiaolang himself." Lu Yu reported to his home, and Liu Wei suddenly understood that he was Lu Zhi's son, so he hurriedly picked him up and asked him, "Dare to ask Xiaolang, is Shangshu okay now?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" was held up by Liu Wei, and the young Lu Yu lowered his head and replied softly: "My father lived in seclusion in the military capital, and Yuan Shao once worshipped my father as a military advisor. But my father did not want to leave the place, because he still lived in the mountains. There are quite a few servants, but my father said that I am still young, and I will not go to the court to be an official in the future, and I must know some means of livelihood in order to live a long time, so I will come here to cut wood. I didn't want to meet the wolves, but fortunately I was saved by His Royal Highness......"

Lu Yu, who was standing in front of Liu Wei, was young, but he was to the point when he spoke, and what he said was reasonable, but there was no omission.

"Can Xiao Lang lead this king to visit Lu Shangshu?" Although Lu Yu never mentioned Lu Zhi's name, Liu Wei had already seen his identity and hurriedly asked him a question.

"My father lives not far from here." Lu Yu turned around, pointed to the depths of the mountain forest, and said to Liu Wei: "You will be there after walking five or six miles to the forest!" ”

Glancing at Deng Zhan on the side, Liu Wei nodded to Lu Yu and said to him: "This king still has two companions, and please Xiaolang go with the two of me, meet them, and then go to visit Lu Shangshu!" ”

"Might as well!" Lu Yu bowed slightly, answered, followed behind Liu Wei and Deng Zhan, followed Liu Wei's earlier mark, and walked towards the outside of the forest.

Along the way, Liu Wei would turn his head from time to time to glance at Lu Yu, who was walking beside him. For a long time, he only knew Lu Zhi, but he didn't know that Lu Zhi's son was named Lu Yu.

When he saw it today, he paid a little more attention to Lu Yu. This Lu Yu is only less than ten years old, but he can move with his hands, but he is very much like an adult, and he is a little more mature than the one who made the pear.

Walking beside Liu Wei, I found that he looked at himself from time to time, Lu Yu's immature little face not only did not show the slightest discomfort, but was a little more proud.

Lu Yu's small chest and proud face made Liu Wei and Deng Zhan look at each other and smile, Deng Zhan asked Lu Yu a little jokingly: "Xiaolang, I will ask you." What do you want to do when you're older? ”

"My father often told me that today, Dong Zhuo is chaotic, although he is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but most of the princes are not satisfied." While following Liu Wei and Deng Zhan to the outside of the forest, Lu Yu said to Deng Zhan with a proud face: "My father also said that all the heroes raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo will definitely harm His Highness. But His Royal Highness successfully broke away from Luoyang, and the situation in the world is becoming less and less clear! When I grow up, I will also take refuge in His Highness and help His Highness support the foundation of the Han Dynasty! ”

"I understand a lot! This king is waiting for you to grow up, and then you will have to be the arm of this king! As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, Liu Wei smiled and reached out to wrap his arms around his small shoulders and asked him, "In addition, what else did Lu Shangshu say?" ”

When Liu Wei asked what else Lu Zhi had said, Lu Yu's face suddenly became a little ugly, he lowered his little head, a touch of sadness appeared on his face, and said to Liu Wei: "My father also said that although His Royal Highness occupies the east of the river, he can't go out of the mountain to help His Highness......

"What's wrong with Lu Shangshu?" From Lu Yu's words, Liu Wei heard something unusual, and hurriedly asked him a question.

"My father has been sick for ......a long time," Lu Yu lowered his head and said to Liu Wei in a low voice: "Two days ago, my father told me that his time is short, and I am not allowed to use a coffin for burial after he dies, but only wrap a straw mat in a ......."

"Don't say it again!" Holding Lu Yu's small shoulder, Liu Wei raised his eyes to look at the forest in front of him, and said to him with some solemnity on his face: "Xiao Lang, don't worry, Lu Shangshu is a natural person, and he will definitely be fine." The great Han spirit is not exhausted, how can there be a lack of loyal ministers like Shangshu? ”

Although he said such things in his mouth, Liu Wei didn't think so in his heart. He had watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he also knew that Lu Zhi died of a serious illness shortly after leaving the court. The reason why I said this was just to appease Lu Yu, who was still young.

Following the traces left earlier, Liu Wei and others quickly found Guan Qing. Then, Lu Yu led them into the mountains and forests again.

Walking through the forest, Lu Yu didn't even stop a step along the way, and he was very skillful in passing through the gaps in the forest, obviously he had touched this forest very clearly.

Following behind Lu Yu, Liu Wei and the others walked all the way to the forest, and after walking for about ten miles, a row of wooden huts appeared in a forest in front of them.

Outside the hut, two men dressed in the people's deep clothes saw Lu Yu leading Liu Wei and others wearing Jizhou soldiers' clothes and armor from a distance, and they all drew their long swords and greeted them.

"Don't be busy!" As soon as the two men came up, Lu Yu, who was guiding Liu Wei and the others, stopped in front of them and shouted, "His Royal Highness King Hongnong has come to visit my father. ”

Hearing the words "King Hongnong", the two men glanced at each other, but did not put away their long swords.

Although Lu Yu's speech and demeanor are almost the same as that of adults on weekdays, he is still only a child under the age of ten after all, and he is responsible for protecting Lu Zhi, and the two men still dare not easily believe the words of a child.

"This king is Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong!" Seeing that the two men did not retreat, Liu Wei took two steps forward, stood in front of Lu Yu, and said to the two men: "I heard that Lu Shangshu lives in seclusion here, and I have come to pay a visit, and I hope that it will be convenient for the two of you!" ”

"What's the proof?" Liu Wei, who was wearing Jizhou military armor, called himself the king of Hongnong, and the two men looked at each other, still not quite convinced, and one of them said to him: "If you don't have a certificate, your Excellency, please go back!" ”

The two men asked Liu Biao for evidence, but Liu Biao really couldn't get it. He twisted his brows slightly, groaned for a while, and said to the two men: "This Wang Fang escaped from Yuyang, and he really didn't bring a certificate. Back then, Lu Shangshu and this king had also been kings and ministers, and the face of this king was recognized by Shangshu. ”

"Your Excellency, please return!" Knowing that Liu Wei couldn't come up with a certificate, one of the men made a gesture of invitation to him, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "If there is no certificate, even if His Highness really comes, the two of us can only ask His Highness to leave......

Lu Yu on the side saw that the two men were unwilling to get out of the way, so he looked up at them, and then glanced at Liu Wei, whose face was already a little iron, and quickly ran towards the row of wooden houses behind them.

Seeing Lu Yu running towards the wooden house, Liu Wei knew that he was going to Lu Zhitongyu, so he stopped entanglement with the two men, straightened up, and although he stopped talking, he didn't mention leaving.

Sure enough, after a while, Lu Yu, who ran into the wooden house, turned back again, and before he could get back to the two men, he shouted at them: "Father, please ask His Highness to come in and talk." ”

Lu Zhi invited Liu Wei in, and the two men were inconvenient to say more, so they had to stand sideways and make way for Liu Wei.

When Liu Wei was about to walk towards the wooden house, a man stretched out his hand to him and said to him, "Please untie your sword!" ”

Glancing at the man, Liu Wei silently untied the long sword, turned around and threw it to Guan Qing, who was following him.

Unsheathed the long sword, Liu Wei walked past the two men, Deng Zhan and the others were about to untie the sword and follow him to the hut, the two men hurriedly blocked in front of them, stopped Deng Zhan and the others, one of them said to them: "Lu Shangshu only invites His Royal Highness one person to enter, and a few people please wait outside." ”

When the man spoke, there was no expression on his face, and his tone was very cold. Deng Zhan frowned slightly, but did not have a seizure.

The swordsman's instinct made him feel that these two men were not the only ones in the vicinity of the wooden house. In this forest, there are at least fifty or sixty good hands in ambush, and if you fight with these two men, I am afraid that those good hands who are dormant in the shadows will all pour out at once.

Watching Liu Wei walk towards the wooden house, Guan Qing, who was blocked by two men, stretched his neck, and a heavy worry appeared on his face.

Guan Qing didn't know what was in the wooden house, what she was thinking in her heart was that if this was not Lu Zhi's residence, but someone else had set up a game, Liu Wei would be more than lucky.

"Don't worry about the girl." Seeing the worry on Guan Qing's face, Deng Zhan, who was holding back the fire in his stomach but not having a good seizure, said to her: "Lu Shangshu is loyal to the Han family, and he opposed Dong Zhuo's deposition of His Highness in his early years, and he will definitely not embarrass His Highness." ”

Looking at Liu Bian, who had followed Lu Yu to the outside of the wooden house, Guan Qing's delicate brows were always tightly twisted, and one hand was also pressed on the hilt of the sword, ready to rush to the wooden house to rescue Liu Bian as soon as something was wrong.
