"Hehe, second brother, guess what, why did General Huwei write this letter to a certain person?" Gongsun Chan sat on the main seat of the Taishou Mansion in Liaoxi, and asked his fellow brother Gongsun Yue with a smile.

Gongsun Yue shook his head blankly and said, "Brother can't guess." ”

Gongsun Zhan put the letter sent by Ao Lie on the table, looked up and said with a smile: "Ao Huwei is going to recognize heroes again, write a letter to ask him to help him find a Qingzhou Donglai man named Tai Shici." ”

"Ao Huwei's vision is also really poisonous, but anyone who is favored by him is all a handsome man." Gongsun Yue said with a sigh.

"Yes, presumably, this Tai Shi Ci, whom we have never heard of before, must also have his superiority, otherwise he would not have fallen into Ao Huwei's eyes. Okay, let's do a favor, second brother, you immediately go and inquire about this person named Tai Shici, as soon as there is news, I will report it quickly, and I will send someone to inform General Huwei. Gongsun Chan commanded.

"Yes, brother, I'll take someone to inquire about the news." Gongsun Yue responded.

Just when the two brothers of Gongsun Zhan, according to Ao Lie's entrustment, sent people around to look for Tai Shi Ci, Ao Lie was not idle, he sent a few sergeants who could speak well, riding fast horses contributed by the Wuhuan people, and rushed to Donglai, Qingzhou day and night, and told these sergeants to be sure to invite Tai Shi Ci's mother, that is, Mrs. Tai Shi, to Youbeiping safely. Ao Lie knew that Tai Shi Ci was a well-known filial son in history, as long as the old lady could be invited and the old lady could live a stable and comfortable life, then it would not be far from Tai Shi Ci's return.

After finishing the task at hand, Ao Lie was empty again, feeling that he had nothing to do. Inadvertently, a beautiful shadow emerged from my mind, dressed in a plain suit, without fat powder, but the country was overwhelmed. Ao Lie muttered to himself in a low voice: "Yan'er, I miss you so much, you wait for me, and I will go to Luoyang to marry you in a few years." ”

It seems that he heard Ao Lie's heart, and it seems that he has a heart, Cai Yan, who was playing the piano in Luoyang Cai's mansion, stopped playing in a daze, looked at the sky, and slowly filled with lovesickness in a pair of autumn-like eyes. "Husband, are you calling Yan'er? Yan'er heard it, Yan'er is waiting for you to marry me. ”

sighed, Cai Yan's eyes were already full of tears like pearls, three years, I haven't seen each other for three years, although I often receive letters from Ao Lie, but Cai Yan is still full of lovesickness, because the two are far apart, so for the time being, they can only rely on Hongyan to pass on the book to convey their thoughts to each other.

Two days later, Gongsun Yue rushed into the room of the eldest brother Gongsun Zhan: "Big brother, the person named Tai Shici was found, but there was a little accident, this person was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't want to come with me, and said that if Xiaobawang wanted to recruit him, he had to beat the gun in his hand." ”

"Oh? It seems that Ao Huwei's vision is on the spot again, presumably such a proud person must have some means under his subordinates, forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter, a certain letter to Ao Huwei back, as for whether to come or not, it is his own business. Gongsun Chan shook his head and said.

In the hall of the Taishou Mansion in Beiping, Ao Lie looked at the letter sent by Gongsun Zhan, and couldn't help laughing: "This Taishi Ziyi is really proud." ”

Zhang Xiu, who was sitting on the side, had just returned from training as a sergeant, and when he heard Ao Lie's words, he asked curiously, "Taishi Ziyi?" Is it the Donglai Tai Shi Ci that the senior brother entrusted General Gongsun to find? ”

Ao Lie nodded and said: "Yes, it's him, this Tai Shici, who actually told General Gongsun that only by letting a certain better than the gun in his hand will he really belong to a certain person." ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes widened when she heard this: "What? This Tai Shi Ci is also too rampant, haven't you heard of the prestige of the senior brother Xiaobawang? If you go to meet him, you will definitely capture this person and sacrifice it to your brother! With that, Zhang Xiu stood up and wanted to walk out.

"Wait," Ao Lie hurriedly called out to Zhang Xiu, "Senior Brother Youwei, don't worry, I think this Tai Shi Ci is proud of his strong martial arts, and he wants to compete with a certain person, so he will go to meet him in person, if everything goes well, there will be another tiger general under his command!" ”

Hearing that Ao Lie was going to go in person, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, now you are also the world-famous General Huwei and the Marquis of Baisheng Pavilion, why are you still serious with an unknown person?" ”

Ao Lie shook his head and said: "Youwei, you have to remember that there are many heroes and heroes among the reckless, and the lack of fame today does not mean that they will not be able to shock the world in the future." Five years ago, how many people in the world knew about the Tao? ”

Scratching his head, Zhang Xiu said with a little embarrassment: "Senior brother said the same, hehe, so-and-so is reckless again." ”

Ao Lie earnestly persuaded: "Youwei, I have repeatedly emphasized to you that sooner or later you will inevitably lead an army alone, and in the future, remember not to act rashly, and you must think twice before acting." ”

Zhang Xiu blushed and said, "Yes, junior brother wrote it down." In the future, I will definitely do what my brother says. ”

"Okay, go and get ready, and you and a certain fellow will go to meet Donglai Tai Shi Ci later." Seeing that Zhang Xiu had some insights, Ao Lie didn't delve into it, and instead asked Zhang Xiu to prepare first.

After that, Ao Lie and Zhang Xiu took more than a dozen Ying Rui of the bloody killing camp and rode their horses to western Liaoning.

After more than three days of trekking, at noon, Ao Lie and his party came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion in Liaoxi. It happened that Gongsun Yue was going out to run errands, and when he saw Ao Lie coming in person, he hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Gongsun Yue meets General Huwei." ”

Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, pulled Gongsun Yue's arm and said with a smile: "They are all old acquaintances, the second general doesn't have to be polite, and I would like to thank your brothers for helping to find Tai Shici." ”

Gongsun Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Huwei is serious, our brother admires the general's martial courage and resourcefulness very much, and can help the general, our brother will never refuse." Hurry inside please. As he spoke, he led Ao Lie and the others into the mansion.

There were already subordinates who trotted all the way in to tell Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan immediately greeted him, and after seeing Ao Lie and others, Gongsun Zhan's face was full of sincere smiles: "General Huwei is coming, and Zhan is far away." ”

Ao Lie looked at this man with a true temperament, and there was a contradiction in his heart. Historically, Gongsun Chan rebelled against Liu Yu in the future because of different political views, and set up an ambush to kill Liu Yu, who was his father's enemy; However, Gongsun Chan in front of him is full of enthusiasm for himself, and he has no contradictions with Liu Yu, and he also admires Gongsun Chan's personality. Could it be that this is the butterfly effect brought about by your own crossing? In any case, he must not allow anyone to hurt his father, but he is reluctant to kill Gongsun Chan, a frank and straightforward man, perhaps, it will be a good choice to take Gongsun Chan under his command?

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Ao Lie arched his hand and said, "What did General Gongsun say? You and I are old acquaintances, only personal relations, regardless of official position, if General Gongsun does not give up, just call a certain Mo Han. ”

Gongsun Zhan was already a cheerful person, and when he heard Ao Lie's words, he smiled and said, "Okay, then so-and-so will be a big deal, Brother Mo Hanxian, please inside!" ”

The group came to the hall and sat down. After sitting down, Gongsun Chan asked with a smile: "Presumably, Brother Mo Han Xian came here for the matter of Donglai Tai Shi Ci, right?" ”

Ao Lie responded with a smile: "That's right, the junior brother came here for this matter, and thanks to General Gongsun's brother, he found out about Tai Shici's whereabouts so quickly." ”

Gongsun Zan said bluntly: "Brother Mo Han, you don't always want General Gongsun to come, General Gongsun is gone, in the future, I will call you Mo Han, you will call me brother, okay?" ”

Ao Lie arched his hand and said: "Since it is the order of the eldest brother of Gongsun, Lie obeys the order." ”

Gongsun Chan smiled with satisfaction: "That's right." As for the Tai Shi Ci you mentioned, he lives in a wooden house not far from the city. ”

Ao Lie got up and said, "In this case, without further ado, please ask Brother Gongsun to send someone to lead the way, and Lie will go to meet him." ”

"Brother Mo Han is really fast-talking, and a certain brother will accompany Brother Xian to meet that Donglai Tai Shi Ci!"

Out of the county town of Liaoxi, the group rode their horses and galloped eastward. Halfway through, Gongsun Chan looked at Ao Lie sitting down on the night snow dragon horse, and said enviously: "Brother Xian's mount, it is really a once-in-a-lifetime BMW, this horse is snow-white, only there is a three-inch crescent-shaped golden mane in the middle of the forehead, and the long mane under the neck resembles a lion, if you are not mistaken, this BMW should be the descendant of the king horse of the Western Regions, right?" ”

Ao Lie smiled lightly: "Brother Gongsun really has good eyesight!" This snow dragon horse is a descendant of the king horse of the Western Regions, and it was a gift from his grandfather when Lie was eight years old. How? Brother Gongsun also likes this horse? ”

Gongsun Chan sighed and said: "As a military general, I naturally hope to have a good horse, and many times, the loyalty of a war horse is much more reliable than that of a person." ”

Nodding with deep feelings, he stretched out his hand and touched the long mane of the night snow dragon horse, Ao Lie said: "This horse was given by my grandfather, Lie didn't dare to transfer it to Brother Gongsun privately, so let's do it, among the 10,000 war horses sent by the Wuhuan people a few days ago, there are a few good horses. ”

Zhang Xiu interjected: "Yes, yes, a few days ago I saw a horse, no worse than a white crane sitting down, given to General Gongsun, but a BMW to a hero." ”

After hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Gongsun Zhan's face was full of joy, along the way, Gongsun Chan had already seen the white crane that Zhang Xiu was sitting on, although it was not as good as Ao Lie's night snow dragon horse, but it was also a good horse.

Ao Lie saw the joy on Gongsun Zhan's face, and felt that this was an opportunity to resolve the enmity between Gongsun Chan and his father Liu Yu in the future, so he said: "When you return to Youbeiping, let Senior Brother Youwei choose that good horse, and select five good horses to send to Brother Gongsun, and let Second Brother Gongsun also choose one." ”

When Gongsun Yue on the side heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you General Huwei for your generous gift!"

While everyone was talking and laughing, a wooden house made of thick wooden planks appeared in everyone's sight. Pointing to the wooden house, Gongsun Yue said, "General Huwei, please see, that is Tai Shici's residence." ”

When Ao Lie heard this, he reined in the snow dragon horse of the night, sat on his horse and looked at the wooden house for a while, then turned over and dismounted, took the reins, and walked towards the wooden house on foot.

Seeing Ao Lie's actions, the group was all surprised. What means does this Donglai Tai Shi Ci have? Is it worth walking on foot with today's famous General Huwei and Marquis Ao Lie of Baisheng Pavilion to show respect?

The door of the wooden house creaked open, and out of the wooden house came a young man with a tiger's back and a body of eight feet long. looks at the age of about twenty years old, which is about the same age as Zhang Xiu.

The young man carried a spear in his hand, a pair of halberds on his back, and a large bow at his waist. Ever since he walked out of the hut, the young man had been standing there and watching Ao Lie.

Under his gaze, Ao Lie led the horse step by step in front of him, and asked loudly, "Are you Donglai Tai Shici?" The young man replied loudly: "Yes, it is Donglai Tai Shi Ci, who are you?" ”

Gongsun Yue, who was not far behind Ao Lie, angrily reprimanded: "Bold! Dare to be rude to General Huwei and Baisheng Tinghou! ”

Hearing Gongsun Yue's angry reprimand, a trace of consternation first appeared on Tai Shici's face, and then he showed a look of disdain, and said proudly: "I thought that General Huwei was famous in Youzhou, and he must be a great figure, but when I saw it today, I was disappointed, is there no one in my Han?" actually let a yellow-haired boy break into a great reputation! is still ashamed to say that he is a little bully, but he laughs at me. ”

Ao Lie said lightly: "Ambition is not old. When you invited a certain person to come, you said that as long as you defeated the gun in your hand, you would serve under a certain command, is this sentence true? ”

Tai Shici pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully and said: "The big husband has said everything, and the horse is difficult to chase!" As long as you can defeat a gun in a certain hand, a certain life will be yours in the future! I'm afraid that you, a yellow-haired kid, won't even be able to take a shot! ”

Ao Lie stopped talking, turned over on his horse, and waved to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu understood, took off the spear hanging on the horse's back, and threw it in the direction of Ao Lie. Ao Lie stretched out his hand to catch the spear, pointed the tip of the spear diagonally at the ground, stretched out his empty left hand, and beckoned to Tai Shi Ci.

Tai Shi Ci saw that Ao Lie despised him, his angry Jun face turned red, he rubbed his fingers and put them in his mouth and whistled, and a black horse ran from behind the wooden house after hearing Tai Shi Ci's call. Tai Shici turned over on the horse, knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and stabbed at Ao Lie with a spear.
