Changshan Zhending, Zhao Yun's hometown.

Outside a simple thatched house, today it is heavily guarded. The mayor of Zhending Town was in the grass hut in fear, telling Zhao Yun, who was dressed in silver armor, the truth he knew, and from time to time he carefully glanced at the champion Hou on the side.

"General Zilong, your brother is also an old man, I grew up watching, a few days ago, there was a yellow scarf in the town, and it was a mess. As a result, your brother went into the mountains to hunt, and he didn't come back for five days. In the end, it was the other hunters in the town who found his body on the mountain...... "The mayor of the town is a little old man in his fifties, and he is also very familiar with the Zhao brothers, but this time he couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he said this, because the one sitting next to him was definitely a high-ranking lord.

After listening to the mayor's words, Xu Yang clearly saw Zhao Yun's hands clenched and his teeth clenched, obviously it was difficult to accept his brother's surprise for a while.

Xu Yang got up from his seat, looked at the mayor and asked, "Where is the corpse now?" Take us to see it! ”

The mayor said with a painful look on his face: "This lord, you are embarrassing the old man. A while ago, there was a Yellow Turban, and there was chaos everywhere, and it was normal for a few people to die, but at that time, everyone was busy avoiding the Yellow Turban, and Boss Zhao's body was thrown into the mass grave......"

"Is it a mass grave south of town?" Zhao Yun asked in a very soft voice.

The mayor nodded guiltily, after all, in such a troubled world, everyone has a lot of helplessness.

Zhao Yun bowed his hand to Xu Yang, went out and got on the horse and headed towards the south of the city. Xu Yang explained to Han Mengxing, and he also summoned the Nine Shadows War Horse to chase the battle clouds.

Zhending Zhennan, is a half-hillside, looks extremely desolate, plus the yellow scarf has not been peaceful recently, there are many dead, here is used as a mass grave.

When he came here, Xu Yang understood why he said that Zhao Yun's brother's body could not be found, because the corpses on this hillside were large and connected, some complete and some incomplete, and the number was tens of thousands.

Zhao Yun came here a little earlier than Xu Yang, only to see Zhao Yun kneeling at the foot of the mountain with red eyes and kowtowing three times to the mass grave below, and then said: "The eldest brother is like a father, Zilong returned from learning art but didn't want his brother to have encountered an accident." Zilong knew that his brother was definitely unwilling to let Zilong carry hatred in this troubled world, but Zilong did not dare to forget his brother's kindness. Zilong swears here today, Changshan countless fathers and old lonely souls are witnessed, Zilong will devote his life to find the master and calm the troubled times! Give the people a peaceful and prosperous world, in order to live up to the grace of his brother's upbringing! ”

Zhao Yun didn't say much, but Xu Yang sounded heart-piercing. To be honest, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Sect coming out to do things again this time, according to normal history, Zhao Yun would have been able to return to his hometown to see his brother. However, now that the Yellow Turban still occupies the northern land because of his many obstructions, looking at Zhao Yun's back, Xu Yang can't help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart.

Syllable!

With a hand on Zhao Yun's body, Xu Yang said slowly: "Zilong, I know that you have the righteousness of the world in your chest. Your brother has a spirit in heaven, and he will be proud of what you say today! ”

Less than a meter away from Zhao Yun, Xu Yang found that under the resolute face of this seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, tears rolled in his eyes and he didn't cry for a long time. His hands were clenched into fists, but he didn't know how to vent his anger.

"Zilong, if you want to cry, cry out! You also said that your eldest brother is like a father, and it is a pity that your brother's death has also arrived. But the Si people are gone, and after crying, I hope you are still the same Changshan Zhao Zilong! Xu Yang said in a low tone.

He knew that it was useless to say as much as he said now, and Zhao Yun needed a venting point in his heart. Even if he is just a data-based general, he is Zhao Yun after all, a historical general with extremely high AI.

Even though the champion Hou persuaded him so much, Zhao Yun did not cry in the end. It's just that his eyes are red and he knelt under the mass grave for an hour, and Xu Yang was not far away with him.

For an hour, neither of them noticed that there were two people hiding in the jungle in the distance.

"Brother Sword King, Zhao Yun is my idol after all, I really can't bear to see him so sad. Otherwise...... Shall we tell him the truth? Tong Xiaoduy carried a blood-red long sword, looked at the Northeast Sword King on the side and said unbearably.

If Xu Yang saw that the Northeast Sword King had returned from the Wa Kingdom, he would definitely immediately find him to inquire about the situation on the Wa Kingdom's side. You must know that whether it is Honda Tadakatsu or Hattori Hanzo, they should be NPCs in the game area of the Wa Kingdom, why do they appear in the real world of Huaxia?

The Northeast Sword King on the side shook his head and said, "Zhao Yun's life trajectory has changed, and only in this way will he become more than Zhao Yun." Although it is painful for him now, you still have to be patient, and I believe that Zhao Yun, who knows the truth one day, will definitely be grateful to you! ”

Tong Xiaoduy shook his head and said, "Brother Sword King, I know, I understand what you said. However, we are obviously doing good things, why do we behave so cruelly? ”

The Northeast Sword King's eyes were doting with a light of doting, and he sighed and said, "Before we are all strong enough, the necessary patience and cruelty will be borne by me!" No matter who asks about this matter in the future, everything will be borne by my Northeast Sword King. Cruelty or anything, the time for the creation prophecy is getting nearer, and I must approve it for him

Have it all ...... ready."

Hearing the determination in the tone of the Northeast Sword King, Tong Xiaodao did not persuade again. The figures of the two men faded into the grass, unaware that they had ever come.

An hour later, Zhao Yun returned to Xu Yang's side, and was about to say something, but Xu Yang said directly: "Okay Zilong, you are not in a good mood today, no matter what thoughts or decisions you have, let's talk about it tomorrow when you calm down!" ”

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of shock, and he was immediately relieved. Champion Hou seemed to see through his thoughts, but Zhao Yun was only more pleased with all this, and suppressed all the words he had prepared, and the two rode back to the Zhao family's small thatched house, where they would spend the night.

Because the Yellow Turban in Changshan County suffered a huge blow, and Zhang Jiao returned to Yanshan to restrain the Yellow Turban, it can be said that the Yellow Turban in Changshan County is in contact. However, that night, Xu Yang still let the sword guards spread out the guard nearby, and he was still vigilant against Zhang Jiao Xu Yang. For example, Zhang Jiao, Cao Cao and others are all heroes in history, even if these people have a good relationship with you, you can't treat them as friends in front of the world, this is the posture of heroes.

On the second day, the matter in Changshan County was almost settled, and Xu Yang decided to resign from Zhao Yun and return to Mingyue City with his troops. As for recruiting Zhao Yun, Xu Yang felt that the time was not yet right, and rashly proposing this kind of thing would only ruin his impression in Zhao Yun's heart.

But it was Zhao Yun who came to Xu Yang early, and saluted respectfully: "Master Hou, this time Zilong borrowed troops to return to his hometown, pacified the Yellow Turban rebellion in Changshan County, and relied on Lord Hou to help." Zilong can't repay him, after returning to the mountain this time, he will definitely explain the reason to the master and his old man, say goodbye to the master, and go to Hou Ye at that time, and ask Hou Ye not to dislike Yun Weimo......"

Xu Yang was immediately a flurry, what is the situation? Shouldn't Zhao Yun have a recruitment mission? Why did he come out and accompany the soldiers to go around and defect to himself? However, thinking that Zhao Yun said that he would say goodbye to his master first and then go to himself, Xu Yang felt that it would be strange if he didn't get tired of it.

nodded with satisfaction, but Xu Yang said: "Zilong, I know that you have lost your brother in my heart." There is no need to think about it in recent days, and let yourself be relieved, I hope to see the silver gun and white horse next time, and Changshan Zhao Zilong who is roaring back and forth. ”

Zhao Yun nodded solemnly, and wanted to say something more. But Xu Yang shook his hand and said, "Zilong, say hello to your master for Ben Hou." There are still some things to deal with in Yangzhou, and I look forward to the next reunion with Zilong! ”

So, Xu Yang directly took the sword guards to the nearby town with a teleportation array, and directly returned to Wu County by teleportation array. Compared with the menacing momentum when he came out of Mingyue City, Xu Yang's return this time was much more low-key. After all, the last time was to show Zhao Yun his strength, and now that Zhao Yun is not here, Xu Yang doesn't have the heart to show his muscles with others.

Xu Yang, who returned to Mingyue City, was immediately found by Guo Jia and reported an important military situation.

"What? Caught Liu Wen's cronies? Xu Yang asked Guo Jia in disbelief.

Guo Jia looked at his father-in-law with a smile on his face and said, "Yes! Last night, the two generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin directly disguised themselves as water thieves and raided two strongholds sent by Liu Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, from the waterway of the Yangtze River. General Chiang Chin had good luck and captured thousands of his opponents. Originally, the two generals were still worried about what to do with the captive, but when these captives saw that the water thieves dressed by the two generals were too fierce, an officer who was afraid of death immediately reported his identity, wanting to use the fact that he was Liu Wen's confidant in exchange for saving his life......"

"Hehe, this thing is kind of interesting!" Xu Yang smiled slightly, he could clearly imagine where Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were water thieves! These two people didn't follow themselves, they were real water thieves before, whether it was temperament or posture, these two people didn't have to pretend at all, they just acted in their true colors.

Upon inquiry, Xu Yang learned that these captives had been placed in the hold of the Dragon Snake Battleship by Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. Moreover, it was dark when they were arrested, and these people were blindfolded again, so it can be said that they did not know that they were caught by the water thieves.

Wang Chao is depressed! Originally, he still had a little kinship with Liu Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, that is, the little niece of his cousin's family from afar made Liu Wen a concubine. also relied on this relationship, and his own person was also clever, and he was praised by Liu Wen for doing several things in the Assassin's Mansion. Originally, I thought that I would be able to mix around in Yangzhou's army with my own mouth, so that I could join the circle of those upper-class people in Yangzhou when I turned around.

But as a result, he was really unlucky, not long after he entered the army, he received an order from Yangzhou Assassin Shi that the troops were going to fight water thieves along the Yangtze River. Originally, I thought that I would definitely be in the rear of the water thief, and at best, let those big-headed soldiers rush to the front, and there should not be any danger to my life. But just after coming to the vicinity of Mingyue City in Wu County, Wang Chao had a bad premonition.

Where is this? Wu County, Mingyue City. Although this Mingyue City is very low-key in Yangzhou, it is not low-key at all in the entire Han Dynasty. This Mingyue City is the fiefdom of the champion Hou of the Great Han Dynasty, this champion Hou has quelled the Yan Baihu Rebellion, suppressed the Zhang Ju Zhang Chun Rebellion, and also performed well in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and was finally named the champion Hou of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Chao is an NPC young man who is inspirational to rush to the upper class, although he has no other strengths except for a flamboyant tongue, but he knows how to learn! Take your own belonging

The 5,000 people arrived at the established location, and Wang Chao felt that something was wrong. It's not clear whether the water thief can be caught in this position, but it is next to a key road in Bright Moon City. Isn't this Artemisia Tiger Whisker?!

What made Wang Chao even more depressed was that they had nothing to do after they came for a month. Mingyue City didn't seem to see himself, but just last night when Wang Chao thought that this so-called "crusade against water thieves" would end soon, the water thieves came.

That's right, it's a water thief. They came and went like the wind, they shouted the black words of the water thieves, every sentence was so professional, especially the water thief who led it, and the martial arts were definitely not low. Because when the eighth-order soldiers around him rushed up, they would be cleaned up like chopping melons and vegetables. Water thief, that is the master who licks blood on the tip of the knife to live, and it is not too simple to kill a few people.

Faced with the threat to his life, Wang Chao chose what he thought was the right way to open - surrender! What surprised him even more was that these water thieves actually surrendered, but in order to reflect that he was different from other captives, he should be treated preferentially, Wang Chao told his identity, or he said an identity in general - he was a close confidant of Liu Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou.

Of course, Wang Chao also knew in his heart that the Yangzhou Thorn History he was following now was known as the least influential Thorn History in the Han Dynasty. It is not because Yangzhou is small in terms of geography, or because Liu Wen's troops are weak, but because Yangzhou has another giant-like existence - Champion Hou. It can be said that the entire Yangzhou is under the champion Hou Shiyi, and the champion Hou can manage it if he wants to. The so-called one mountain is not as good as two tigers, this Yangzhou has one more champion Hou, and Liu Wen, the assassin history of Yangzhou, has naturally become the assassin history with the least influence of the Han Dynasty.

However, his identity is still useful, because these water thieves have separated themselves from those soldiers, although they are still puzzled by some of the actions of these water thieves, but Wang Chao knows that he has survived for the time being. As for when you will really survive, it depends on when these water thieves see themselves and how they talk to themselves!

After waiting anxiously all night, Wang Chao did not get the "summons" of the water thieves, and it was not until noon the next day that he was taken to a big boat by a water thief. Only by standing on this boat did Wang Chao know what a terrifying boat it was. At first glance, he doesn't know how long the boat is, but in his experience it is definitely over 200 meters long.

The first thought in Wang Chao's heart was: When did the water thieves in the Han Dynasty become so powerful? You must know that the navy of the imperial court also has some large building ships, which are all from the south of the Yangtze River, and they are rarely seen in Yangzhou.

But before Wang Chao thought too much, Xu Yang, who was on the first seat, asked with a majestic face: "You said, you are Liu Wen's cronie, what evidence do you have?" ”

At this time, Xu Yang did not wear his champion official uniform, but an ordinary civilian clothes. It doesn't look as fierce as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, plus Guo Jia has a lewd smile on his face in the back, and he secretly takes a sip of wine from time to time, which makes Wang Chao feel that this guy in front of him should be the brains of this gang of water thieves.

It's right to think about it, this group of water thieves can have such a large ship, and then think about the combat quality of these water thieves last night, there is a relatively powerful think tank that can explain this matter. As for the two fierce-looking water thief generals, Wang Chao subconsciously regarded the two of them as high-level thugs.

I have to say that Wang Chao's idea is correct, that is, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are fierce, and they are indeed the thugs under Xu Yang.

Wang Chao was originally afraid to talk to those two murderous-looking generals, but there is a way to show that only when he meets a soldier, it is unreasonable. Now that this water thief has sent such a scribe to talk to him, he can use his three-inch incorruptible tongue to persuade the other party to Zhao'an. If that's the case, this Liu Wen still can't add himself to the rank of knight?

"Ahem...... Root...... What do I ask you, aren't you a fool? Xu Yang saw that the thief-headed guy below didn't answer himself, but smirked in place, coughed, and almost used his "Benhou" title.

"Hehe, back to this hero's words, the younger one is ......, the son of the third uncle's friend's family of the father of the concubine of the Yangzhou Thorn History, and is currently the chief bookkeeper of the Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion. Because there are water thieves along the Yangtze River...... Ah no, there are heroes doing business, and they specially came to recruit the heroes ......" Wang Chao thought about it after speaking, repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with his words, and silently looked forward to the other party's reply in his heart.

Xu Yang slapped the stool violently and shouted: "You little guy, you dare to deceive me!" I have already sent someone to Shouchun to inquire, and the chief bookkeepers in the Yangzhou Assassin Mansion are all on business, and they have not come to Wu County. If I don't recruit from the truth, I can bear it, but the brothers can't help it......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Tai Jiang Qin beside Xu Yang looked eager to try, and the sword in his hand shone brightly on Wang Chao's face.

Wang Chao knelt down for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life." The small one really didn't lie, the small one was Liu Wen's cronies, and now he was also the master of the Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion. It's just that the villain specializes in doing some private work for Liu Wen, so Liu Wen should be afraid that my identity will be revealed, exposing the evil things he has done for so many years, so he didn't put the little one on the bright side, a good man! Small...... The small one has a way to prove it, then Liu Wen has thirteen concubines, and the first one ......"

For fear that Xu Yang wouldn't believe it, Wang Chao almost told Liu Wen's wives and concubines about their characteristics and preferences one by one......
