Chapter 62: Pursuing Tanxi, the Old Scribe
Cai Mao picked up the sword and stabbed Xiang Xia angrily, Xiang Xia quickly dodged, and the bundle of immortal ropes swung out hit the back of Cai Mao's hand, and Cai Mao cried out in pain: "Ah..."
The shouts were accompanied by the crisp sound of a sword falling to the ground. Cai Mao wanted to pick up the sword, but Xiang Xia would not give him this opportunity, and he waved the bundle of immortal ropes violently to force Cai Mao to retreat. After a moment of effort, another strong kick to the summer, Cai Mao fell to the ground in response, touched his chest, and his face looked extremely painful.
It's just that the number of soldiers is increasing, and I don't know who shouted: "There is no Liu Bei in the wing!" ”
"Oops, I've been tricked..."Cai Mao said to herself, her face full of chagrin and remorse. Then he ordered: "Don't chase it yet!" ”
"Yes!" When the soldiers received the order, they scattered to leave.
Xiang Xia stepped heavily on Cai Mao, and sneered: "I just let you go, but you don't go; Now I want to go, it's not that easy! ”
As soon as the words fell, he waved the bundle of immortal ropes out, locked up several soldiers, and then pulled the bundle of immortal ropes back, and threw those soldiers out with all his strength. Wei Yi raised his sword and fought with the soldiers, delaying them.
"You don't want to take back the order soon, do you still want this little life?" Xiang Xia glanced at Cai Mao coldly and said to him.
Cai Mao snorted unwillingly, hooked the corners of her mouth and said unkindly: "Do you dare to kill me?" If you want to kill me, do you know how many Jingzhou officials will play that Liu Biao together and let him treat Liu Bei's crimes? Even if Liu Biao Gu remembered the friendship with Liu Bei, due to the face of so many officials and the oppression of public opinion, Liu Bei would definitely be in trouble! ”
"Still hard-mouthed? Yes, I can't kill you, but I won't make it easy for you! With another force on Xia's feet, Cai Mao broke out in a cold sweat in pain and moaned in pain.
…
When Zhao Yunhuo hurried back to the banquet, there were already few people, and he hurriedly looked around.
"Zilong, Zilong!"
It's summer. One turned around and saw Xia and Wei Yi hurrying over.
"How's it going? What about the lord? Zhao Yun asked worriedly.
"The lord has already escaped from the west gate on horseback, and we must find the lord as soon as possible and before them!" Xiang Xia said solemnly.
Immediately, Zhao Yun looked for Xia and his party along the west. Later, Zhao Yun wondered how the lord escaped. explained to Xia that it turned out that on the way to help Liu Bei to the wing room, she had already used a silver needle to prick the acupoint to relieve Liu Bei's wine, and escorted Liu Bei to the west gate while Cai Mao and others were not paying attention. She quickly turned back to the wing room, so she was suspicious, making Cai Mao think that Liu Bei was staying in the wing. Then a skirmish ensued, which delayed their pursuit.
The group searched for the westernmost side, but they didn't find Liu Bei. Further west is a wide and deep Tanxi River.
"The horseshoe prints are gone here, where will the Lord Guild go?" Wei Yi scratched his head and said puzzled.
Indeed, they followed the horseshoe prints along the way to find here. You have to think quickly about where Liu Bei will flee, otherwise Cai Mao and the others will definitely be able to find it according to this horseshoe print.
"I think the lord should run to the south, there are people in the south, and the north is desolate." The subordinate said.
Zhao Yun looked around for a while, and couldn't make up his mind, and asked Xiang Xia, "Summer, what do you think?" ”
Xiang Xia frowned and groaned, "I want to think about it." ”
Xiang Xia leaned down to observe the ground to the south, and according to what his subordinate said, he did make sense, but he did not find any horseshoe prints, and there were no horseshoe prints in the north. Could it be that Liu Bei did not flee to the north and south, and it was impossible to turn back to the east, so it was only possible to continue to flee to the west? Xiang Xia got up, looked at Tanxi with deep eyes, then at Zhao Yun, and said, "The Lord Guild will not flee to the other side..."
Zhao Yun also frowned, took a few steps forward, observed Tanxi, shook his head and said: "This is Tanxi, it is several zhang wide, and it is impossible for Luma, who is still driven by the lord, to live in this Tanxi." ”
"Yes, this Tanxi is miles deep, how can it be possible. Even if the lord could swim over, he didn't see a horse. When his subordinates heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Xiang Xia grabbed the hem of her clothes, and she was a little unsure when they said this. But there are no horseshoe prints and footprints around, and there is only one possibility that he fled to the opposite side, but this Tanxi looks like it is indeed very human can cross...
They don't have much time, they have to be sure as soon as possible, and they can't blindly look around. Cai Mao has a large number of soldiers, and it is very quick to find people separately.
There's no way, that's all.
Close your eyes to Summer, clench your fists, and concentrate. In the next second, a white light flashed on his forehead, and no one noticed. Xiang Xia only felt that his head was dizzy and tight, his vision became white and blurred, his whole body was weak and tight, and his legs and feet were about to fall forward as soon as he was weak.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun's hand was quick, and he caught it and shouted anxiously: "Summer, summer, what's wrong with you?!" ”
"Quick... Opposite side... Just in... Opposite side... Lord..."Xiang Xia reminded intermittently with all his strength. Before he finished speaking, the whole person fainted, and the remaining consciousness was also dissipating. No matter how much Zhao Yun shouted, it would be useless.
"Fairy Gu... Why did she faint again..."Wei Yi said worriedly.
"Weiyi, what did you say?" When Zhao Yun heard this, he frowned and asked.
Wei Yi looked serious and replied truthfully: "General, you don't know, the last time the fairy girl suddenly fainted like this... At that time, we and the lord were still staying at Yuan Shao's place, and the last time the doctor diagnosed that the fairy aunt was fine, but she was overworked... Fairy Gu herself said that it would be good to sleep, I don't know if this time is the same as last time..."
Zhao Yun hugged Xiang Xia, his brows tightened, and his heart was anxious. After thinking about it for a while, he sighed helplessly: "I hope it is as you say." Let's go find the lord, and then go to the doctor to treat the summer. Fast! ”
"Yes! It's just that... Where are we going to find the lord?" Wei Yi asked cautiously.
Zhao Yun picked up Xiang Xia, looked directly at the west with his eyes, and said firmly: "Cross Tanxi and look west!" ”
…
In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun carried all the way to Xia and led his subordinates to find a thatched house. Liu Bei was staying there, and there was an old man and a scribe in the house.
"My lord! Lord! ”
"It's Zilong!" Liu Bei was overjoyed, and when he heard Zhao Yun's shout, he hurriedly welcomed him into the house.
Then, such a scene happened.
The old man was kind and kind, smiled and said: "Changshan Zhao Zilong, famous all over the world!" Please, come in! ”
"Zilong, how did you find here? What happened to the summer? Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun with Xiang Xia on his back, frowned and asked suspiciously.
Zhao Yun replied with a salute: "My lord, it was the summer that reminded the last general, and the last general searched for another night and found here according to the horse's hoof prints." In the summer, she suddenly fainted, and the last general didn't know what to do..."There was a worried look on her face.
"Loyalty, it's rare. The general must not worry, I think the little brother on the general's back has just fallen asleep; If the general does not dislike it, there is a bed and water in the house, and they can use it. The old man said kindly.
Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Bei, got Liu Bei's nod in agreement, and then bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you!" "Then I went into the house and set it up for the summer.
The old man said to the scribe in a serious tone: "You see, Uncle Liu Huang has been degraded to dignity, and he is sincere and righteous, please go out of the mountain; Changshan Zhao Zilong is unparalleled in martial arts, brave and loyal, so he sent you, a literati, to accompany and complement each other; You should have also noticed that sleepy little brother, today's fate, all kinds of signs, this is the will of God. If you shirk it again, will it not be against the will of God? ”
The scribe looked solemn, sighed, and nodded heavily. knelt down with his fists on Liu Bei again, and said excitedly: "Then I will obey my fate!" Lord! ”
Liu Bei hurriedly helped the scribe up, held his hand, and said gratefully: "Sir, good... Okay..."
…
When I wake up in the summer, it's already ugly time. Xiang Xia opened his eyes in a daze, stood up a little weakly, looked around, and found himself in a dilapidated thatched hut. Where is Zilong? Has Zilong found his eldest brother?!
Thinking about it, looking for it, Xiang Xia wandered outside the house. I saw an old man with fairy wind bones sitting in the small pavilion, which was also made of thatch. It seems that the ancients really loved the pavilion, no, it should be said that if there is some poetry, some painting, it is indispensable to be accompanied by the pavilion. The old man also looked at Xiang Xia, beckoned to her, and smiled kindly: "Little girl, come here." ”
Xiang Xia was recognized as his true body, and he lowered his head a little shyly and trotted towards the pavilion.
"Little girl, if your body is weak, go slowly." The old man didn't forget to remind him out loud.
Xiang Xia came to the old man and looked at him carefully. No wonder she felt that the old man was full of fairy spirit, because the old man was wearing clean white clothes, white hair and white hair, and his skin also revealed a sickly whiteness. It is really rare to live so long in ancient times, and this old man should be an extraordinary person.
"Little girl, sit." The old man stretched out his hand and beckoned.
For some reason, Xiang Xia always felt that the old man's eyes and the corners of his mouth always revealed a warm and friendly smile, and he inexplicably wanted to get close to him. She sat down and found a steaming cup of ginseng tea in her seat.
"Grandpa..."Xiang Xia smiled back politely and asked, "Have you seen the son... A general? ”
The old man smiled and said, "Yes, yes." General Zhao and Uncle Liu Huang both rested. ”
When Xiang Xia heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and put his heart at ease. said: "Thank you, old man." Dare to ask the old grandfather's name? ”
The old man looked up to the sky and smiled, waved his hand, and said, "What is the big name, and I can't remember what the big name is." It's just that everyone else calls me 'Water Mirror', but you still call me grandpa, and I listen to it cordially and comfortably. ”
"Okay, old man..."Xiang Xia nodded respectfully, and introduced himself again: "My name is Xiang Xia." ”
