—186 A.D.——

Taishan County, Hua County.

"How could Jungong be here? How do I know that I'm in crisis with Youping? What is it that made those cavalrymen turn a blind eye to us? ”

As Sun Jian guessed, the black-armored cavalry were not good at searching, although hundreds of horsemen galloped back and forth quite loudly, but after losing the target, they quickly made the decision to retreat, so it can be seen that the "rich man" did not give the order to kill them all.

After evading their search with a few strange piles of rubble, Sun Jian and Zhou Taitong, Zhuge Jin, who had grown into teenagers, walked towards the village, and asked on the way.

"This place is called Huaxian, because it is located in the valley between the gentle hills, the climate is mild, the wind and rain are smooth, the environment is elegant, and there are many rich families in the county who have settled here," although he was asked a bunch of questions, the young man's attitude was still gentle: "My father was ill a year ago, so he came here to recuperate, and I wanted to invite General Sun to come as a guest, but I have not been able to contact him." ”

Well, because he was captured by General Zhu Jun to train soldiers, Sun Jian thought that he had only had a few communications with his family in the past two years, and he had never returned at all, and Zhuge Jue's invitation to enjoy the scenery would naturally be rejected by Wu Rong as a less important matter.

"As for Fang Cai's stone formation, it is a superficial [Qimen Dunjia] technique," Zhuge Jin continued: "If the other party has a little knowledge of spells in command, the little nephew and General Sun would have been wiped out. ”

"Spells?" Sun Jian was confused, "It's like Zhang Jiao, Mei Lin, Zuo Ci and ...... The 'spells' used by 'immortals' like Yu Ji? ”

"The sky has the 'Thirty-six Methods of Tiangang', and the earth has the 'Seventy-two Techniques of Earth Evil'," Zhuge Jin said: "'Immortals' must be able to use 'spells', but those who can use 'spells' are not necessarily 'immortals', for example, the little nephew just used the 'Array' technique in the 'Seventy-two Techniques of Earth Evil', but the little nephew is far from being called an 'immortal'." ”

"......" Sun Jian had nothing to say for a while.

"The above is actually what Uncle Jia said, and the little nephew is just reading from the book," Zhuge Jin hung his head a little shyly: "And Uncle Jia also heard it from Xiangyang's 'Mr. Shuijing', and if you want to ask for details, you don't know it at all." ”

No, I wasn't going to ask, and you're too loyal, aren't you...... Sun Jian smiled dryly, and shifted the topic to the question that should have been asked at the beginning: "Jun Gong is sick?" What about now? Okay? ”

"Hmph," Zhuge Jin's slightly longer face showed a little dissatisfaction: "Those quacks, what do you say that my father has become ill from hard work, and the medicine stone is ineffective, and he may not be able to survive last year's ......."

"And now?" Sun Jian asked.

"Now—" Zhuge Jin opened his mouth as if to answer, and finally raised his hand to point forward: "This is the way it is now." ”

By this time, the three of them had approached the village, which was lined with lush farmland.

"Yo!" In the direction pointed by Zhuge Jin, a farmer who was plowing turned around, raised his hand and beckoned: "Wentai, I haven't seen you for a long time, secret training is very hard, right?" ”

"......" because he didn't know whether to ask Zhuge Jue "how to know", "how is his body" or "why he ploughed", Sun Jian was stunned for a while.

————

"Hehehe, General Zhu's method of covering up is effective for the imperial court, state officials, and even ordinary people," said Zhuge Jin, who had changed into a farmer's dress after welcoming Sun Jian into the living room of his temporary residence, "But for those who are following these 'trainers', this matter is even more obvious. ”

"Well, it's true that the people that General Zhu secretly summoned this time are all related to each other, but the external connection is not very close," Sun Jian nodded: "It's just that I don't know ...... the group of strong cavalry we encountered."

"[Tiger and leopard riding]," Zhuge said, seeing that Sun Jian did not react, so he added: "It belongs to Cao Mengde, the assassin of Qingzhou." ”

"Oh! Oh......" Sun Jian was startled at first, and then frowned and thought about it.

"Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, safe." Zhou Tai, who had excellent combat instincts, understood the meaning of these words first.

"That's right, they met Cao Cao and his subordinates during the Battle of Liangzhou," Sun Jian said, "Unless this army is led by a strange general, but, in this case, wouldn't the person they escort be ......?"

"The former captain Cao Song Cao Lao Lady who told the old man to return to his hometown," Zhuge Jue continued: "He plans to go to Qian County to meet some old people, and Cao Mengde obviously doesn't trust ordinary ranger guards, but it is illegal for his army to leave the country without authorization, so he quietly took the path and bumped into you who were also engaged in secret operations." ”

"Yu Ji's?" Sun Jian was the first to suspect the "immortal" who was always looking for him.

"I don't know the whereabouts of the immortals, but Old Lady Cao's itinerary has been set a long time ago, and I have greeted all the counties along the way, if your 'plan' over there is not a temporary decision, this matter is just a coincidence." Zhuge said.

"It seems that I can only wait here for my subordinates to converge......" Sun Jian sighed: "So, why is Ziyu waiting for me there?" What other 'stone henges' were laid? ”

"After the incident in Taiping Road a few years ago, I began to arrange it, and there are all around Taishan County, today is a coincidence, I heard the shouting and killing on the other side of the mountain, so let Xiao Jin go and take a look." Zhuge Jue responded: "It's just a 'textbook' of what Brother Xuandi taught, and I can't use it flexibly." ”

Well...... Zhuge Xuan of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and Mr. Shuijing...... Sun Jian secretly remembered these two names.

"Wentai is on the march at this time, so he won't invite you to drink," Zhuge Jue raised his teacup: "Replace wine with tea, dry." ”

"Hehe,." The intelligence collection is enough, and Sun Jian, who has nowhere to go and nothing to do for the time being, also raised his glass.

Click, click. With the sound of small footsteps, a beautiful boy of about three years old appeared in the doorway, he looked at the two people who were drinking tea with his dark and shining eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yo, Wentai," Zhuge Jue glanced at the boy, raised his hand and gestured: "This is my youngest son, Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming, how is it, not bad." ”

"Uh......" Even with Sun Jian's literary literacy, he feels that something is wrong.

"Jue" and "Jungong" both refer to finished and noble jade, while "Jin" refers to beautiful jade, and "Yu" refers to the brilliance on beautiful jade.

If he wanted to name his son with a perforated and bright white jade, it should be "Zhuge Lang, the character is flawed", could it be that when he recovered from the state of "ineffective medicinal stone", he accidentally damaged his literary cultivation?

"Oh, it's not bad." In the end, Sun resolutely decided not to open this mouth, after all, he was someone else's child, and he was already three years old and sensible.

When he looked at the little boy named Zhuge Liang, he found that the other party was also looking at him.

“…… Don't lose the fish. Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Jian for a while, said these three words, and then turned around and left.

What fish? Sun Jian was confused.

Yanxu border, encounter battle battlefield.

Although they have undergone strict training, due to the problem of equipment gaps, almost all the Xuzhou soldiers have been captured by the black-armored knights, and only the generals who command the various thousand-man teams are still on the run, and in the face of the invincible black iron cavalry, it is only a matter of time before they are finally captured.

"You, to, where, in, go!"

At this time, Zang Ba was also being hunted down, but he was not as lucky as Sun Jian, because he was insulting to the "rich man" and ordered to take it, and at this time he was pursued by an unusually fierce one-eyed single-knife man, and the strong archer who followed him.

I don't know if it's deliberate humiliation or personality, this one-eyed guest shouted some words that made the hunted Zang Ba feel ashamed while chasing and killing:

"The knife cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul!"

"This knife can't be sheathed without drinking blood!"

"So-and-so's magic eye has seen through your next move!"

"The knife is in the man! The sword is dead! ”

The most infuriating thing is that Zang Ba can't beat him at all, and every time he has to fight, the opponent's strength becomes stronger, as if he can draw strength from these strange words,

"Who the hell are you?" Zang Ba fought hard with the one-eyed man again, although he used his strength to distance himself, his hands trembled, and he couldn't hold the long knife in his hand anymore, so he shouted.

"Hehe, so-and-so is [the most handsome one-eyed man in Kunlun Mountain and has the most gorgeous moves]!" He accosted him while continuing to pursue and attack.

"It's the same as not saying it!" Although Zang Ba, who had a slight chance to breathe, wanted to stop and counterattack, the heavily armored archer caught up again, and was supporting with a bow and arrow from a distance, so he had to hold his head again.

"Go!" When the three of them chased and fled through a small forest, an arrow suddenly came from the top of the tree in the forest, and the most insidious thing was that he only shouted after the arrow came out, and when the one-eyed man subconsciously looked up, the arrow was less than half a foot away from his eyes covered by the blindfold.

In the midst of this lightning, he only had time to shout a short word:

"MONOCULUS!"

【Twisted MONOCULUS】

Click. The arrow, with its extremely high speed, shattered silently in front of him, along with his blindfold, which fell off to reveal the undamaged eye below.

"Hmm......" One-eyed, no, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Xia Houdun, looked at the scattered sawdust in front of him in silence, while Zang Ba and Cao Hong, who released the dark arrow, took the opportunity to run away.

"Hey, brother, what have you become?" Xiahou Yuan rushed over with a bow and looked him up and down: "It seems to have become a little more handsome?" ”

"A certain has always been so heroic," Xiahoudun shook his head, took out another blindfold from the inner pocket of his armor and put it on, "Let's go, go back and see if Old Lady Cao is shocked, if there is damage, these guys will flee to the ends of the earth and have to be caught." ”

"I just saw some white animal flashing by......," he whispered to himself, "Miss Cai's alpaca?" ”
