"Hey! It's hard to put into words! Wang Xu sighed and shook his head, not knowing where to start.

Instead, the two of them glanced at each other, and with some understanding, the sect member frowned and asked, "Could it be that the rumors are true, you are not sick, but poisoned?" ”

Wang Xu looked at the two of them, thinking that they would be able to deduce it sooner or later anyway, coupled with the extraordinary relationship, he nodded and admitted. "It's indeed poisoned, and it's a strange poison, this time I'm going to find an antidote."

"I see! It's a pity that we can't help, hey! The two of them were relieved, but there was obvious worry on their faces.

Wang Xu was a little moved in his heart, but he didn't want to talk about it more, so he asked instead, "What about you?" Why did the two of them set up a booth here? ”

"It's hard to put into words!" Huangfu Song's face was full of vicissitudes, shook his head and said: "After the Yellow Turban was pacified, the people returned to the north to resist the Saiwai Hu people. At that time, I was still resisting Xiliang in Bingzhou. I'm afraid you almost all know what happened next, until I was discouraged, and then with the help of many righteous people, I cheated my death and got out, and returned to the field. ”

"Later, I wandered for a long time, until last year, when I heard that Jingzhou was becoming more and more stable and prosperous, I moved to this Wuguan with my children and relatives, and got some fertile land, and did some small business, but I also had no worries about food and clothing, and I was quite rich."

"That's ......"

Thinking of these two heroes and famous generals in the late Han Dynasty, but in the end they were displaced and in a miserable situation, except for Zhang Ning who turned his head and turned a deaf ear, Wang Xu, Zhou Zhi, Huang Xu, and Ling Wanqing were all embarrassed in their hearts.

After being silent for a long time, Wang Xu said suspiciously: "But since the two generals have escaped, why don't they come to Jingzhou to look for me?" and free from the pain of displacement! ”

The two heard this. Look at each other and smile. But he shook his head and said nothing.

Instead, Zhou Zhi sighed and said, "Boss." The two generals are unwilling to ask for retribution! ”

When Wang Xu heard this, he comprehended, and immediately stood in awe, and bowed his hand almost at the same time as Huang Xu and Ling Wanqing to show respect.

Huangfu Song waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to be like this, and it's not all because of this, we ourselves are disheartened. The desire to retreat to the mountains and forests is also a big reason. If I come to look for you, then I will inevitably have to face the people of the world, speaking from my heart, I have been in a high position, but I can't assist His Majesty to revitalize the dynasty, and I can't stabilize the world and eradicate traitors, so I really have no shame to face the people of the world. ”

"General Huangfu, don't think like that!" Wang Xu shook his head and persuaded loudly: "At first, I thought it was because my subordinates were ineffective, but in fact, it was not the case, it was an inevitable catastrophe. For nearly 100 years, relatives and eunuchs have alternated power. All for their own interests, framing the loyal and good, blinding the emperor, the officials are corrupt, and the people are miserable. ”

"The emperor has not been assisted by good ministers since he was a child, and he cannot be taught by a good teacher, so it is difficult to have the power to turn the tide, so it has caused today's situation, which is not reversible by manpower, if you want to save the common people, you can only use millions of lions to destroy the evil in the world, in order to get a peaceful and prosperous world."

After listening to this, Huangfu Song and the sect members were silent, and after a long time, Huangfu Song chattered and said: "Maybe you are right, but after the real resweeping, is the big man really still a big man?" Can Dahan really still have the surname Liu? ”

"This ......" Wang Xu was silent, not knowing how to answer.

After a while, Huangfu Song smiled, shook his head and sighed, and said: "The general trend of the world, the wise man already knows it, Ziyang does not need to be difficult to speak, I have already tried my best to be loyal, no matter what happens in the end, General Huangfu is dead, here are just two old friends." ”

"That's right, don't talk about these unhappy things!"

Zhou Zhi interjected at the right time to alleviate Wang Xu's embarrassment.

After all, Wang Xu, as a prince, is not very obedient to the orders of the imperial court now.

The sect member was also very happy, and said loudly: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go have a few drinks together!" After so many years, it is not easy to meet once, and you must talk about your family life. ”

The group then returned to the stall, and Huangfu Song and others no longer accepted customers, packed up their things, and invited a few people to their homes to be guests.

During the chat, Wang Xu learned from the two of them that Zhu Jun, who had already been declared dead, and Yuan Yi, who was said to have died in Xuzhou, were not dead, and they both lived in seclusion in Jingzhou, but they were no longer in the same place, which really surprised him.

On the contrary, Ling Wanqing was a little unhappy, as the leader of the spy shadow, these people came to their own territory with a different name and surname, and she didn't know it at all.

When he was drinking heartily, Wang Xu warmly invited the two to go to Xiangyang to live, so that they could finally agree.

Originally, he also wanted to ask the two to help each other in Jingzhou, although the two are not young, but they are experienced and wise, and they are completely useful.

But in the end, he didn't dare to say it in a hurry, worried that it would backfire, and Zhou Zhi had the same heart with him, and he also coaxed the two of them to be happy, after all, as long as they passed, there would be opportunities to attack step by step in the future.

In addition, another happy thing is that because Huangfu Song loves swords, he lives locally, and often goes to the city to purchase, so he has a customs clearance document.

In this way, the problem will be solved, and the weapon can be handed over to Huangfu Song, who will take him out of Wuguan, and then Wang Xu will answer them outside Wuguan.

Because the time was too urgent, they had a full meal at Huangfu Song's house, and Wang Xu and others had to set off again.

The two old generals also sent each other off in person, and it was not until they left Wuguan for five miles that they reluctantly returned home......

Although the Sili area has gradually recovered due to the arrival of Zhong Xuan, there are still many ruins and broken walls along the way, as well as large areas of barren fields, which are really different from the lush and rich that was the center of the world.

When they arrived at Cao Cao's territory, Wang Xu and others were even more low-key, traveling all the way north, and arrived at Hongnong a few days later.

Night was approaching, the five of them entered the city, found a tavern with a decent environment, just ordered food, and soon sat down, but suddenly heard a few diners not far from the side were whispering.

"Eh, brother! Have you heard? Liu Xuande took refuge in Cao Gong, and was appointed by Cao Gong as the pastor of Yuzhou! ”

"That was a long time ago, and I took it out to say, I only learned from a passing traveler yesterday that Liu Xuande was defeated by Xuzhou Lu Bu in Xiaopei, and I heard that Cao Gong is going to attack Lu Bu and capture Xuzhou recently!"

"So fast? Didn't you say that Liu Xuande was a hero in the world? How do you lose again and again? ”

"In these years, there are more heroes, and Liu Xuande has few soldiers in his hands, how can he beat Lu Bu who is majestic in Xuzhou!"

"Hey! I heard that Liu Xuande is a very good person who governs the people with benevolence and righteousness, but in these years, a good person is not powerful! ”

"Forget it, the bad guys are not necessarily any better, Yuan Shu, who conspired to be the emperor, heard that he had been beaten by Cao Gong, and even his generals Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le were killed."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Just when a few people were talking passionately, the big hand that had been there suddenly slapped heavily on their table.

Several people were stunned and looked at the owner of the hand.

Wang Xu looked at these ordinary people with a smile, and slowly took the hand on the table away, revealing a large piece of silver.

"Silver!" The eyes of those people instantly straightened, silver is worth a lot more than gold in this era, and it is not easy for ordinary people to see large pieces of silver on weekdays.

"Childe, this is ......," one of the diminutive men was very clever and laughed.

Wang Xu said indifferently: "I heard you talk wonderfully, I want to continue to hear the news from Yuan Shu's side, and if you say enough, then this silver is yours." ”

"Good, good, good, the son wants to listen, the contemptible must know everything, and the words are endless!"

"Just say it, there's so much nonsense!" Zhou Zhi clasped his hands to his chest and said with some disdain.

Ling Wanqing next to her suddenly rolled her eyes: "You are not much better." ”

But the people over there didn't care so much, and asked with a blushing face: "Childe, I don't know where you want to start?" ”

"Before the defeat of Yuan Shu, you know it now." Wang Xu said.

"Good!"

The clever short man closed his eyes, reasoned his thoughts, and soon hurriedly said: "Hui Gongzi, the villain heard rumors that Yuan Shao was called the emperor and wanted his son to take Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Bu originally agreed, but later regretted it for some reason. Soon, the two sides fought, and Yuan Shu joined forces with Han Xian and Yang Feng to defeat his Xuzhou. ”

"Han Xian, Yang Feng?" Wang Xu frowned, and said strangely: "Aren't they in this division?" ”

"No, that was a long time ago, since Cao Gong sent Zhong Tingshi here, the two of them disobeyed and were defeated by General Cao Ren, so they fled to Yuzhou with their own troops, and captured counties and counties in the Huai River area for a living, and it is said that the strength is not weak."

"Well, I see." Wang Xu nodded. "Then you go on!"

"Later, Han Xian and Yang Feng didn't know why, and they mixed up with Lu Bu, but they started Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was defeated, retreated to Huainan, and his strength was weakened, and it didn't take long for Cao Gong to raise troops to fight, Yuan Shu was defeated, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Le and other generals killed a lot, and Yuan Shu led the defeated army to flee to nowhere to go."

As the clever short man slowly spoke, Wang Xu's brows furrowed more and more, and he was silent for a while before he asked again: "Then with Cao Gong's ability, he must have recovered the land of Huainan now, right?" ”

"Oh! Not yet. The short man shook his head.

"Why is that?"

"That's the case, Cao Gong was a step late, when he was fighting with Yuan Shu's main force along the Huai River, the Sun family in Jiangdong suddenly sent troops to cross the Yangtze River in the north and attacked the empty Huainan, the current Huainan land, the north was recovered by Cao Gong, but the south was taken over by the Sun family."

Speaking of this, the clever little man looked around, lowered his voice and said: "I heard the Yangzhou people passing by say that Cao Gong seems to be very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Sun family, and the Sun family does not obey the imperial court very much, the two sides confronted each other in Jiujiang Hefei, and fought a battle at the Xiaoyaojin ferry in Hefei a month ago, but I don't know the specifics." ”

Wang Xu nodded, didn't ask any more, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, you can take the silver!" ”

"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Childe! ”

The little man's eyes lit up, he picked up the silver and thanked him again and again, and then exchanged glances with his friends around him, and then took his leave. (To be continued......)
