Chapter 31: Daoist Yu Ji
"Kill!" The Yellow Turban men approached the room a few steps, and a Yellow Turban man with a long sword raised his sword high, slashed it down, and shouted.
Dozens of yellow turban men shouted in unison, shields in one hand in front of them, and short spears in the other, and marched in line towards the door guarded by Liu Wei and Zhou Cang.
"Wait!" As soon as the Yellow Turban men made a move, there was a loud shout behind them.
The Yellow Turban men who had almost advanced to the door all stopped, each holding a shield spear in their hands, and turned their heads to look behind them.
In the night that had just fallen, a stout man with a yellow scarf on his head and armor walked towards the door of Liu Wei and Zhou Cang's guards with two men in yellow scarves.
Before he reached the door, the big man shouted to Zhou Cang, who was standing inside the door: "Is General Zhou Cang in the house?" ”
The other party called Zhou Cang by name, Zhou Cang glanced at Liu Bian, and saw Liu Bian nodding to him, so he shouted out of the door: "It's Zhou Cang, who dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”
"A certain is Gong Du." After confirming Zhou Cang's identity, the man outside the house hurriedly walked to the door, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted Zhou Cang and said: "A certain has admired the general for a long time, and he has never had the opportunity to see it. ”
"It turned out to be General Gong." Zhou Cang first glanced at Liu Bian, and when he saw Liu Bian nodding his head to him slightly, he hugged his fist and gave Gong Du a salute and said: "I escorted Mr. Huang to the north today, passing through here, but I don't want to be trapped by my own Yellow Turban Army, which is really unpleasant." ”
"Don't back down yet!" Gong Du tilted his head slightly, and coldly drank the Yellow Turban Army behind him who was holding a short contradiction card blocking the way out of the house, and then laughed with him, and said to Zhou Cang: "I heard earlier that the general and General Pei Yuanshao went to Woniu Mountain, I don't know why they came here?" ”
The Yellow Turban Army outside the house was shouted by Gong Du, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they all hurriedly took a few steps back, put away the blades in their hands, and stood straight aside.
"If it weren't for Yan Zheng's house, he would still be on Woniu Mountain at this moment." Zhou Cang pursed his lips, then stood sideways to the side, facing Liu Wei, and said to Gong Du: "This is a certain gentleman, if General Gong remembers the love of the Yellow Turban Army in the past, he will stay here for a night today, and leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"General Zhou is called Mr., he must be a great talent today!" Zhou Cang introduced Liu Bian, and Gong Du hurriedly turned around and saluted Liu Bian's fists and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Daming?" ”
Liu Wei, who has watched the romance, still remembers that if the historical trend described in the romance is followed, Gong Du later took refuge with Liu Bei, and since this is the case, there must be no relationship between him and Dong Zhuo.
Although Gong Du gave him the feeling that he could be trusted, but after all, there were other people behind him and in the house, Liu Wei still couldn't say it directly, so he had to hug his fists and salute Gong Du back and said: "A certain is a child of the martyred clan, and his family is in the middle of the road, which is really humiliating, so it is okay not to mention it." ”
Liu Wei didn't want to be famous, and a touch of disappointment appeared on Gong Du's face, but he didn't force him to ask, after all, Zhou Cang was still standing next to Liu Wei, and he was still a little jealous of Zhou Cang, who was famous for his bravery.
"Sir, General Zhou, can you go inside the house and have a look?" As the generals of these Yellow Turban Army, Gong Du naturally knew how they were laid out here, Liu Wei and Zhou Cang stood at the door with good dignity, so the few Yellow Turban Army who had calculated them before were probably more than lucky.
"General, please come in." Liu Wei nodded, retreated a few steps back into the house, turned around and walked to Tang Ji who was hiding in the corner, blocked Tang Ji behind him, and watched Gong Du walk into the house.
"Mr. Yu!" As soon as he entered the house, Gong Du saw six people tied up in a ball, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the only old man who had not passed out in a coma.
Zhou Cang glanced at Liu Bian, who was standing in the corner of the room, and saw that Liu Bian did not react, so he did not step forward to stop Gong Du's movements, but just held a long sword in his hand, and while vigilantly paying attention to the movements of the Yellow Turban Army at the door, he glanced at Gong Du from the corner of his eye.
"General Gong." After the rope was untied, the old man rubbed his numb arm that was tied, and said to Gong Du: "This gentleman is amazing, I Yu Ji has lived for hundreds of years, and I never thought that I would be a teenager in my teens. ”
The soreness and numbness in his arms subsided slightly, Yu Ji clenched his fists with both hands, arched towards Gong Du, and said to him: "General Fulao told Qu Shuai that Yu Ji is a cultivator, and he is used to wandering freely. ”
Yu Ji reported his name and surname, Liu Wei's eyes widened a little, and he looked at the goosebump-haired old man standing opposite Gong Du in surprise, and muttered secretly in his heart: "Wasn't Yu Ji killed by Sun Ce?" …… Uh, why am I so stupid, at the moment Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, is still in his prime, Sun Ce is still underage, and it is not strange to see Yu Ji, a Taoist who travels in all directions. ”
"Precious!" After saying goodbye to Gong Du, Yu Ji turned to face Liu Wei, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he didn't say anything, just arched his fists with both hands, and turned around and walked out of the house after saying a cherished word.
"Mr. Yu, please stay!" Seeing that Yu Ji was really leaving, Gong Du hurriedly shouted: "If Mr. doesn't resign from Qu Shuai, the last general really can't afford it." Besides, it's getting late now......"
Yu Ji didn't pay attention to Gong Du, and after going out, he walked towards the mountains in the distance while singing loudly: "The bird flies high, and it will be a thousand miles in one fell swoop." The wings are ready, and they are all over the world. Across the world, what can I do? Although there are bows and arrows, Shang An is giving! The Holy Monarch is out now, the world will be in chaos, and we should stay away from it! ”
After the song reached its peak, Yu Ji's voice seemed very distant, and in the ears of Liu Wei and others, it still carried a bit of ethereal meaning.
The contact with Yu Ji was just the work of this meeting in the evening, and deep down, Liu Wei did not think that the "Holy Monarch" in Yu Ji's song was an allusion to his appearance.
But Tang Ji, who was standing behind Liu Bian, didn't think so, Yu Ji sang this ballad loudly when he left, she looked at Liu Bian who was blocking in front of her, and there was a lot of obsession in her eyes.
What woman doesn't want her man to be a hero who stands up to the sky? Liu Wei was originally the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but it was only because of Dong Zhuo's usurpation of power that he was temporarily exiled.
Since the moment he left Xiaolou, he has shown the responsibility that a real man should have, and in Tang Ji's mind, this ballad sung by Yu Ji alludes to Liu Wei's ability to reign in the world in the future.
Although he followed Liu Bian, Zhou Cang never knew Liu Bian's true identity, and it was difficult for him to ask Liu Bian as a servant.
Yu Ji's singing voice drifted farther and farther, and Zhou Cang and Gong, who was standing next to the few men who were still unconscious, glanced at each other, and each other's eyes showed a little confusion.
"That's the same old way." Yu Ji walked away, Gong Du pursed his lips and said to Zhou Cang: "Qu Shuai has been obsessed with the art of cultivating immortals recently, and he relies on him a lot, but he really doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't even want to say goodbye to Qu Shuai, and he is too trusted. ”
Zhou Cang didn't speak, just looked at the group of yellow turban men standing at the door expressionlessly, and asked Gong Du after a while: "General Gong is handsome, but Liu Pi?" ”
"Exactly." Gong Du responded, confirmed Zhou Cang's guess, and then said: "In addition to Liu Qushuai, He Man is also nearby, and he and Qu Shuai are facing each other in a horn, and there are many mountains and woodlands here, which is convenient for our army to hide their traces, and the officers and soldiers do not dare to encircle and suppress it easily. ”
At the mention of He Man, Zhou Cang frowned slightly. Back then, he was under Zhang Bao, and he was also familiar with this Yaksha. Although the two are both fierce generals of the Yellow Turban Army, they don't have the same temperament, so they don't have much friendship.
"Since General Zhou is here, why don't you stay here?" Seeing that Zhou Cang didn't speak, but just slightly furrowed his brows as if he was thinking about something, Gong Du hurriedly said: "After fighting with the official army for several years, our army is now very few people, although there are still more than 20,000 warriors under the command of Qu Shuai, but the brave generals are ......."
"General Gong don't want to say more." Before Gong Du's words were finished, Zhou Cang raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said to him: "Right now, Mr. Ding has followed, where Mr. is, he will follow." ”
As soon as Zhou Cang said this, Gong Du became more and more disappointed, he glanced at Liu Wei, who was standing in the corner of the room, shrouded in darkness, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how this young man in front of him, who looked very weak, had no soldiers and no power in his hands, how could he make Zhou Cang so desperate.
"In this case, I don't dare to be strong, General Zhou and Mr. Zhou are resting here tonight, and they will retire first." was disappointed in his heart, but Gong Du didn't show it on his face, just smiled slightly, arched his hand towards Zhou Cang and Liu Wei, turned around and walked out.
Out of the house, Gong Du muttered to the yellow turban army at the door, and several men with yellow scarves on their heads then entered the house, dragging the five men who were still in a coma like a dead dog.
"Sir, madam, rest in peace, go out and have a look." After everyone outside the house had walked away, Zhou Cang bowed slightly to Liu Wei and Tang Ji and hugged his fists, and after Liu Wei nodded at him, he turned around and walked out of the house.
Zhou Cang went out to inspect, in Liu Bi's opinion, there was no practical significance, and staying here tonight was entirely because Liu Bi thought that even if they left at this moment, they would not go far, and they would be caught up by the Yellow Turban Army under Liu Pi.
Gong Du's eyes before leaving were already very revealing, and they hoped that Zhou Cang would stay. The Yellow Turbans are not a regular army, and they even have some banditry.
The army with a bandit nature has always done things unexpectedly.
"Let's rest." After Zhou Cang went out, Liu Wei turned around and hugged Tang Ji's waist and walked to the ear room on the left side.
"The husband rests, and the concubine fetches some water for the husband to wash." When he arrived at the door of the ear room, Tang Ji twisted his waist slightly, broke away from Liu Wei's embrace, and said softly: "After a day of mountain walking, wash and sleep, it will be more or less refreshing." ”
