The entrance of the small village is facing the Woniu Mountain in the distance.

Although Woniu Mountain is also a continuous mountain range, it is much smaller than Bishan Mountain.

The setting sun in the west spread a faint orange light on the mountains, and the hazy shadow of Woniu Mountain was covered with a layer of golden light slightly glowing red.

Liu Wei and Tang Ji sat side by side at the entrance of the village, looking at the shadow of Woniu Mountain, and behind them, two men with shields and long swords were walking back and forth on guard.

"It's been two days, and Pei Yuanshao hasn't appeared yet!" Holding Tang Ji's shoulders, Liu Wei looked at Woniu Mountain in the distance, and said to her softly: "If Yuanfu can persuade Pei Yuanshao to join, you can stay in Woniu Mountain, and you don't have to wander with me anymore!" ”

"The concubine is willing to accompany her husband!" Snuggling up to Liu Wei's side, Tang Ji said softly: "No matter where you are, you don't have to be by your husband's side to make the concubine feel at ease." ”

"Conquest and fighting, you are not suitable to be too close after all!" Turning his face, he reached out and gently stroked the hair hanging down Tang Ji's forehead, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth rose with a tender smile, and said to her: "If you are too close, I will always worry about you every time I fight." ”

Tang Ji lowered his head and did not speak again. She understood that what Liu Biao said was right, with her by her side, many things Liu Biao did indeed have a lot of fetters.

"Oh no, the woman ran away!" The two were sitting at the entrance of the village embracing each other, and suddenly a man's shout came from the village.

Liu Wei and Tang Ji hurriedly turned their heads to look at the village, only to see many men pouring out of the house and rushing towards the open space in the village, and the figure of a woman flashed quickly in Liu Wei's sight and disappeared behind several houses on the side.

"Madame Protection!" Seeing that the woman had fled, Liu Wei hurriedly stood up, explained to the two men who followed him and Tang Ji to the entrance of the village, drew out his long sword, and rushed towards the village quickly.

The woman who had been injured by Dian Wei two days ago was holding the long sword she had just snatched, her hair was scattered, and she ran quickly towards the field outside the village with her bare feet.

There were bursts of shouts behind her, and she ran while glancing at the men who were chasing her from time to time.

"Delicious food and drink to entertain, just leave, don't you even say hello?" Seeing that he was about to rush out of the village and burrow into the deep grass, three people came out of the grass, and one of the first was holding a large knife, frowning slightly, and asked the woman in an almost cold tone.

There was someone blocking the way in front of him, and the woman hurriedly stopped, put the long sword across her chest, and stared at Zhou Cang who was blocking his way without blinking a pair of eyes full of hatred.

Zhou Cang waved his hand to his side, asking the two men who were hiding in the grass with him to move away, and then raised the handle of the big knife with both hands, and said to the woman: "Your Highness knew that you would escape, and I have been waiting here for a long time!" ”

"Your Highness?" The woman put the long sword across her chest, stared at Zhou Cang fiercely with a pair of apricot eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly pulled, and she said in a cold voice: "What Your Highness?" It's just a demon that sucks the flesh of the people! If you can't leave today, even if this girl dies here, what can she do? ”

"It's a backbone!" Zhou Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at the men who rushed out of the village, and said to the woman: "If you can defeat so-and-so before the brothers catch up, so-and-so will let you pass!" ”

"Down with you, I'll take your life!" Holding a long sword, the woman shouted and rushed towards Zhou Cang.

A crescent-shaped sword light slashed towards Zhou Cang's neck, and Zhou Cang didn't dodge, but just pushed the big knife in front of him, blocked the long sword that was slashing at his neck with the hilt, and raised his foot and kicked towards the woman's lower abdomen.

The woman's body twisted and spun around, and the long sword suddenly retracted the moment before it touched the handle of Zhou Cang's big sword, and drew a parallel crescent-shaped arc of light, cutting towards Zhou Cang's neck from behind.

Zhou Cang bowed his body, the big knife in his hand stirred in a circle, and the long sword slashed against the back of his head, just colliding with the flipped big knife.

With the sound of "choking", the long sword and the big knife were mixed together, and the woman's arm holding the sword was thrown to the side, although she barely held the sword and retreated, but the arm was sour and numb.

The two of them only fought two or three moves, and the woman already felt that Zhou Cang was not something she could match, and after withdrawing from the battle group, she once again put her long sword across her chest and glared at Zhou Cang fiercely.

The men who had caught up had also rushed to the front at this time, hula formed an encirclement around the woman.

The man who was attacked by the woman in the village and snatched the long sword rubbed his still painful head, snatched the long sword and shield from his companion's hand, walked towards the woman, and scolded and said: "Thief mother-in-law, you dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu, today Lao Tzu must split you!" ”

"Stop!" The man had just taken two steps, and before he could get close to the woman, Liu Wei, who ran from the entrance of the village, was already approaching and shouted.

Hearing Liu Wei's shout, the men surrounding the woman took two steps back slightly, expanding the encirclement a little.

Separated from the two men in front of him, Liu Wei walked into the encirclement, pressed the hilt of the long sword at his waist with one hand, frowned slightly, and said to the woman: "If you want to leave, you just need to say hello, why bother, it makes each other look bad!" ”

"Hmph, will you let me go?" Apricot eyes narrowed slightly, the woman looked at Liu Wei from head to toe, snorted coldly and said: "In the hands of you and other court lackeys, if you don't kill you, you will go out, and you can only die!" ”

"Can the girl leave her name?" Liu Wei was not angry because of the provocation in the woman's words, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he said to the woman: "I, King Hongnong, am indeed from the royal family, but I will never be a lackey of today's court!" The girl has a deep hatred for the court, so why don't I ......"

"Are you the Hongnong King Liu Bian......?" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, the woman furrowed her brows slightly, and asked him with a puzzled expression: "Isn't it Liu Wei who fled from Luoyang and defeated the official army in Bishan a few days ago?" ”

The woman was detained in the village for the past two days, Liu Wei didn't say much to her, and neither of them tried to understand each other, seeing that the woman recognized him, Liu Bizai looked at her carefully, and then asked her with puzzlement: "These things have not been spread, how did the girl know?" ”

The woman put away her long sword, stood up straight, clasped her hands into fists and arched towards Liu Wei and said, "The little girl's name is Guan Qing, and she is the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. In order to save the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, King Hongnong killed hundreds of officials and soldiers with less than 100 people, and now it has spread in various departments of the Yellow Turban, and there is a misunderstanding with King Hongnong, which is really a little girl! ”

As soon as Guan Qing said that she was the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Zhou Cang threw the handle of the big knife to the ground, held the big knife and asked her, "Can the girl recognize Guan Hai?" ”

"It's my brother!" Guan Qing nodded slightly towards Zhou Cang, and after answering his question, he asked him rhetorically: "The general's surname is high?" Do you know your brother? ”

"A certain Zhou Cang!" Zhou Cang straightened up and said to Guan Qing: "General Guan Hai is the first general of the Yellow Turban, how can I not know him?" In the past, he was in front of General Digong's tent, and General Guan Hai was just fascinated, but he never had the opportunity to see him, and he didn't want to see his sister first today! ”

"My brother also often mentions General Zhou!" Zhou Cang reported his name, Guan Qing hurriedly hugged his fist and gave him a man's fist salute, and said to him: "The little girl Xiangri heard that General Zhou and Pei Yuanshao gathered a group of people and horses in Woniu Mountain, and two days ago, they came to look for the general, but they unexpectedly encountered the officers and soldiers on the road, and the entourage was killed and scattered, so she had to come here alone. I met more than a dozen horse thieves and killed them, I wanted to grab a fast horse, first find a place to stay, and slowly look for the two generals, but I didn't want General Zhou to serve King Hongnong early! ”

"It turns out that the horses are not stolen by the girl." After listening to Guan Qing's narration, Liu Wei glanced at Dian Wei, who was chasing after him, and said with a kind smile on his face: "I went into the mountains to hunt a few days ago, the horses were stolen, and I was looking for horse thieves, but I saw the girl riding the king's mount galloping on the avenue, I thought that the girl was one of the horse thieves, but I didn't want it to be a misunderstanding!" ”

Nodding slightly at Liu Wei, Guan Qing turned his head to look at Zhou Cang, his expression showed a little loss, and he sighed lightly and said: "General Zhou has joined the King of Hongnong, and he must not want to join the Qingzhou Yellow Turban." It's also boring for the little girl to stay here, so I will leave, take care! ”

As he spoke, Guan Qing arched his fists at Liu Wei and the others, and raised his feet to leave.

"the girl, slow down!" As soon as she lifted her foot, before she could take a step, Liu Wei shouted at her.

Turning his head to look at Liu Wei with a puzzled face, Guan Qing blinked his eyes twice and asked him, "What else does King Hongnong command?" ”

"It's a long way to Qingzhou, and the girl is walking far away, so I can't rest assured!" Liu Wei clasped his hands into fists, and said to Guan Qing with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "And the girl has an injury that has not healed, and she may be able to support it after a long journey, in case she meets the officers and soldiers ......."

Having said this, Liu Wei didn't continue to speak, but looked at Guan Qing without blinking, but the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer.

Guan Qing lowered his head, as if he was looking for what Liu Wei said.

Seeing that she didn't squeak for a long time, Liu Wei continued: "If the girl doesn't give up, you can stay here for a while, and when the injury heals, it's not too late to leave!" ”

Liu Wei's proposal was not unreasonable, Guan Qing lowered his head slightly, wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, before he sighed faintly and said: "It's okay, it's just that in this way, it is annoying King Hongnong!" ”

Guan Qing escaped from the village, and when Liu Wei and the others were talking to her, in the deep grass about fifty or sixty steps away from everyone surrounding Guan Qing, two men in blue-gray linen clothes were lying there, looking at Liu Wei and the others without blinking.

Because the distance was too far, the two of them didn't hear what Liu Wei and the others were saying at all, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but they first saw Guan Qing and Zhou Cang fighting, and then saw her go back to the village with Liu Wei and the others, until the people outside the village entered the village, the two glanced at each other, and slowly retreated in the direction of Woniu Mountain.
