Chapter Seventy-One: A Coincidental Encounter with Wolong
Since accepting the edict of the hussar general and champion Hou, Ao Lie's life has become more leisurely.
On this day, Ao Lie took more than a dozen elites of the blood killing battalion to the outskirts of the city to relax, believing in the reins of the horses along the way, and letting them sit down and gallop freely in the night.
The group came to a mountain road more than 30 miles outside the city, Ao Lie slowed down his horse, and walked slowly while enjoying the scenery on the side of the road.
Suddenly, a woman's cry for help broke the silence of the mountain.
Ao Lie restrained the snow dragon horse and listened carefully.
"Help! Who can come to our rescueβ"
That's right, there are indeed people shouting for help. Ao Lie no longer hesitated, and ran towards the source of the sound.
The more than ten elites of the blood killing battalion who followed behind Ao Lie also heard the shouts for help, and saw Ao Lie running over first, and more than a dozen people hurriedly rode their horses behind Ao Lie and ran over together.
Dozens of feet away, a group of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army with yellow scarves on their heads were robbing a carriage, and a woman in her twenties was lying on the ground on the side of the road, and there were two teenagers squatting beside the woman, one was about twenty years old, and the other was only fifteen or sixteen years old. It seems that the carriage was originally owned by these three people, but it was dragged off the carriage by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army and pushed down on the side of the road.
The Yellow Turban Thief at the head watched his brothers go to search the carriage, and he came to the young woman himself, with a lewd smile on his face, and said obscenely: "Little lady, why don't we come and have fun?" Uncle, I am very strong, and you are satisfied. As he spoke, he reached out and touched his lower body very disgustingly.
The young man in his early twenties beside the woman stood up suddenly, pointed at the head of the Yellow Turban thief and reprimanded angrily: "The property of our sister and brother has already been obtained by you, how can you be so aggressive? You must know that the blue sky is above, the thick earth is below, and there are gods three feet above the ground. β
The bandit leader scolded and muttered, and then stretched out the palm of the big fan and slapped it on the young man's face, although the young man was on guard, but after all, it was Xiucai who met the soldiers, and was immediately knocked to the ground by the bandit leader, leaving five clear fingerprints on his face, and blood was left in his mouth and nose.
After defeating the young man, the bandit leader bared his teeth and said contemptuously: "With your small body, you also want to be a hero to save the beauty?" Top fart! He took two steps forward, then squatted down and looked straight at the woman who fell to the ground, and the interest of the bandit leader came up again: "Yo, it's pretty good, Ha Lu Ha, I haven't touched meat for a long time, come on." β
With the bandit's obscene words, a pair of his big hands had reached in front of the woman, grabbed the woman's collar, and with just one force, he could tear her clothes.
"Stop it all." Ao Lie's voice suddenly sounded. At this critical moment, Ao Lie arrived.
Hearing Ao Lie's voice, the Yellow Turban Thieves, who were excitedly searching for valuable items in the carriage, stopped, turned around with fierce faces, and wanted to see who was drinking them.
The bandit leader also looked impatient, and shouted scoldingly: "Who the hell dares to conceive Lao Tzu's good deeds? β
When these Yellow Turban soldiers turned around and saw Ao Lie sitting on the horse clearly, the fierce look on their faces immediately turned into endless bitterness. These Yellow Turban soldiers all escaped by luck in the battle of Funiu Mountain, how could they not know Ao Lie? Ao Lie's feat of defeating Zhang Shao in the three armies of the Ten Thousand Armies was like a fatal iron nail, firmly nailed to their hearts, and they were breathless at any time. I thought that I would never see this life-urging little overlord again in the future, who would have thought that we would meet here again today!
"The general spares his life!" The leader of the Yellow Turban thieves turned from a fierce god to a docile sheep, kneeling in front of Ao Lie's horse with a puff, pleading bitterly. The rest of the dozen or so Yellow Turban soldiers also reacted, knelt on the ground one after another, and kept kowtowing to Ao Lie, hoping that Ao Lie would spare them.
Ao Lie looked at these scum in front of him coldly, and said coldly: "Do you know Benhou? β
The bandit leader hurriedly slapped a series of sycophants over: "What is the general talking about, General Huwei, uh, no, who doesn't know the name of the hussar general, who doesn't know?" The general won a hundred battles and was powerful in the world, how could I not know the general? We were confused for a while today, and we did something wrong, so please spare the life of the dog we are waiting for. β
The Yellow Turban Army also begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, the general will treat us as a fart and let us go." "We want to know that General Lu Dao is traveling today, and with a hundred of our courage, we don't dare to anger the general's tiger might."
Ao Lie's cold voice sounded again: "So, you are all deserters in the battle of Funiu Mountain?" β
The remnants of the yellow turbans nodded busily.
"Hmph, then you must also know the rules that Lu Dao set at the beginning? Let yourselves say, What is the sin of persecuting the people and oppressing the good? Ao Lie still said coldly.
The Yellow Turban Army lowered their heads in disagreement and said, "This is a capital crime. β
Ao Lie raised his hand, without the slightest pity in his eyes, and his voice was cold as if it came from Jiuyou: "Knowingly, the crime will be added to the first!" Chop! β
The dozen or so elites of the bloody killing battalion behind him received Ao Lie's order, drew their steel knives in unison, and then rushed forward at the same time, and when they were halfway through, they bent down and lay down on the horse's back at the same time, aiming the sharp edge of the steel knife in their hands at the neck of the Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing that Ao Lie had given a killing order, all the Yellow Turban soldiers had no illusions, and they all stood up and tried to resist, but their reactions and movements were too slow, and compared with the bloody killing battalion of the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, they were not even as good as scum. As soon as he stood up, the steel knives of the elites of the blood killing battalion also arrived, and a series of sharp blades cut the flesh "flutter" sounded, and then a series of blood arrows shot out from the throats of the Yellow Turban Army, just one confrontation, more than a dozen Yellow Turban Army were all dead on the spot, and there was only one scar on each person's body, a fatal scar on the throat!
Riding a horse and charging, killing with a knife, the actions of the elites of the blood killing camp perfectly interpret the essence of the three words fast, accurate and ruthless.
"Ahh
Hearing the woman's exclamation, Ao Lie realized that he was only concerned about killing the thief just now, but he ignored the mental endurance of the three victims.
Turning over and dismounting and coming to the woman, Ao Lie stretched out his hand and put it on the woman's wrist, although Ao Lie is not a famous doctor, but he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he can still cure some common diseases. Through the pulse, Ao Lie understood that the woman had indeed fainted because of the fright, and he was very sorry in his heart.
The younger boy next to the woman was already frightened by the bloody scene in front of him, but it was the young man who had been knocked to the ground before, since the moment Ao Lie appeared, he had regained his previous calm, and then quietly watched Ao Lie order to kill the thief, turn over and dismount and come over, and check his sister's pulse and a series of actions, and at the last time, he saw a trace of apology on Ao Lie's face, obviously Ao Lie was sorry because he was not thoughtful and made his sister faint and faint.
The young man got up, patted the dirt on his body casually, tidied up his appearance, and then bowed down to Ao Lie and saluted: "Thank you General for saving your life." β
Ao Lie's mind was on the unconscious woman, so he didn't pay attention to the young man next to him, until he opened his mouth to thank him, Ao Lie turned his head to look at the young man, and said with guilt in his tone: "Sir doesn't have to say thank you, a certain abrupt young lady, my heart is uneasy, and I have to ask Mr. for guilt." β
Listening to Ao Lie's words, a trace of brilliance flashed in the young man's eyes, and he exclaimed: "I have heard for a long time that the hussar general and the champion Hou are kind to others, and everything is for the sake of the people. β
Ao Lie said casually: "A little bit of a name, why worry about it." Mr. is overrated. β
While the two were talking, the unconscious woman woke up, just opened her eyes, and looked to the side anxiously, and saw that the two teenagers were safe and sound, so she put her mind at ease and said, "Kong Ming, Shi Ni, you are okay, right?" β
The two teenagers both said: "Second sister, don't worry, we have nothing to do." β
Ao Lie was shocked by the woman's words, Kong Ming? Could it be that this young man in his early twenties in front of him is Zhuge Liang? Thinking of Zhuge Liang described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ao Lie couldn't help but admire his intelligence. Even if the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel rather than a historical fact, this does not affect Ao Lie's preference for Zhuge Liang in the slightest.
After hesitating for a moment, Ao Lie said to the young man who was talking to him before: "Dare to ask Mr. Kong Ming, but Mr. Zhuge Liang?" β
The young man smiled and replied, "No, it's Zhuge Liang, but I don't know how the general learned the name of the grass people?" β
Another young man interjected and said, "Second brother, don't be busy saying those polite words, let's hurry up and help the second sister back to the carriage to rest." β
Zhuge Liang confessed to Ao Lie, and then helped the woman back to the carriage with the young man.
After a while, Zhuge Liang returned to Ao Lie's side and said: "General, the woman who fell to the ground is my sister Zhuge Ling, and the third brother Zhuge Jun who is not talented is the young man. Unexpectedly, if it weren't for the general's rescue, the three of us sisters and brothers would have been murdered. β
After confirming Zhuge Liang's identity, Ao Lie was overjoyed in his heart, he had been looking for this Mr. Wolong, but to no avail, it turned out that he had confused the gap between the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and real history, Zhuge Liang was a person from Xuzhou, and later moved to Nanyang to live, no wonder he had not been able to find him before.
Listening to Zhuge Liang's story, Ao Lie's heart moved, and said: "I heard that Jiangdong Sun Ce is fighting with Yan Baihu, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Jiangdong at the moment, and there are many thieves on this road, and the three of my husband and sister and brother are going all the way, I am afraid it is not very safe." β
Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "What the general said, Liang also knows." It's just that the entanglement on our sister and brother is about to run out, and if we don't go here, I'm afraid it will be unsustainable in the future. β
Ao Lie looked at Zhuge Liang seriously and said: "If Mr. doesn't give up, a certain person is willing to build a house for Mr., and all the food and clothing should be paid from the Hussar General's Mansion, how about it?" β
Zhuge Liang was cautious by nature, and when he heard Ao Lie's favorable conditions, he hesitated, and said thoughtfully: "What does the unknown general want Liang to do?" β
Ao Lie smiled: "There is only one thing that Mr. has to do, and that is to study." β
"Studying?" Zhuge Liang asked suspiciously.
"That's right, studying. A certain general will write a letter to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, asking him to arrange for you to enter Lumen Academy and study under Pang Degong. Ao Lie replied lightly.
Ao Lie naturally has his own considerations in doing this, and Zhuge Liang in history grew to an unattainable height under the training of Pang Degong and the company of his companions Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others. Now no matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, if he has not been systematically taught, he will never be as outstanding as in history. Moreover, the consciousness of later generations in Ao Lie's thoughts also made him know that people who have not been educated by higher education can make achievements that are better than ordinary people, otherwise, how could future generations even turn universities into compulsory education?
Being able to study under Pang Degong can be said to be the wish of every scholar, and Zhuge Liang is naturally no exception. But he didn't blindly agree, but asked: "After completing his studies, what should Liang do?" β
A fine light flashed in Ao Lie's eyes, and he looked directly at Zhuge Liang and said: "After completing his studies, if Kong Ming is willing to be an official, do his part for the Han Dynasty and the people of the world, even if he goes to the Hussar General's Mansion in Youbeiping to find me; If Kong Ming is unwilling to be an official, it is better to say that he has decided to establish a large number of colleges in the future, and at that time, Kong Ming can choose a wishful place to serve as the dean and teach and educate people. β
After listening to Ao Lie's words, Zhuge Liang frowned and thought for a while, and said: "The general is ambitious, and I admire it in my heart." In the future, let's talk about it in the future, the general trend of the world is changing rapidly, and Liang always has to weigh one or two before making a decision. "His words are tantamount to making it clear, you Ao Lie wants to recruit me, it's not so easy, my Zhuge Liang loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, you must always choose a master who can make a difference.
Ao Lie understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, and said with a smile: "No matter what kind of decision Kong Ming makes in the future, he will never block it, but will only be happy that Kong Ming has met the master." β
Zhuge Liang also asked with a smile: "The general recommended Liang to study under Pang Degong, so he is not afraid to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, and set up a strong enemy for himself in the future?" β
Listening to Zhuge Liang's bold words and feeling Zhuge Liang's arrogance, Ao Lieha smiled and said, "Kong Ming, will you be an enemy of someone in the future?" β
Zhuge Liang also laughed happily, although Ao Lie's words were purely a joke, neither of them took it seriously, Zhuge Liang also knew that if he didn't say goodbye, with Ao Lie's life-saving grace today, it would be impossible for him to stand on the opposite side of Ao Lie in the future, but Zhuge Liang still smiled: "It's hard to say." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them felt that it was really interesting to get to know each other, and their hearts were extremely happy. laid a solid tone for the two to get along in the future.
