Chapter 196: Smile and Hope
The land of Jingxiang is full of wind and sand.
Li Yunfei sat under the porch, raised his head to look at the sky, and shook his head.
"Ah Liang, it's time for them to come back, right?"
The schadenfreude on his face between his eyebrows made Sejuani on the side couldn't help but look at him twice.
"Calculating your own disciples, does that make you happy?"
Li Yunfei smiled, "Counting through the entire history of the Celestial Empire, the people who can calculate Zhuge Kongming are afraid that they don't have the number of fingers on one hand, and I am one of them." โ
Sejuani shook her head.
"Is it worth being so happy that something that can only be done by foresight?"
Li Yunfei smiled.
"The thrill of slaughtering the novice village, you don't understand."
As he spoke, he closed the comic book in his hand and yawned, "No, I can't bear it and have to sleep first, and then they will call me when they arrive." โ
After saying this, this guy tilted his head and really fell asleep in the rocking chair.
That lazy appearance, seeing Sรจ Zhuang Ni was speechless for a while, shook her head, and continued to flip through the books in her hand.
At the same time, in Xuchang City, far away from Liu Biao's forces, the girl suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
Outside the window, the sun was setting, and the bloody remnant sun stained the curtain of the windowsill red.
The sound of neat footsteps mixed with the sound of chain mail clashing came from the street, like an army rushing, and she showed a confused look.
Dream...... Haven't woken up yet?
In the nightmare, she returned to the gate of Xiapi City with the wind and blood sword, and witnessed the desperate nightmare when Cao Jun broke through the city.
In the bush of ten thousand troops, the man on the red rabbit horse waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and shouted at her with all his might, but his voice was completely inaudible.
In the midst of the heavy snow, the streets of Xiapi City were covered with snow. Countless soldiers died in the streets, and the blood gushing out of it soaked into the snow and steamed out wisps of white breath.
She protected her mother and tried to keep up with the man, but at the gate of the city in front of her, there were silent generals blocking the way to resist the enemy.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu...... Those unparalleled generals who once left a great name on this land. At this time, they surrounded from all sides, sealed all the retreats, and wanted to capture alive the man who was rampaging in the chaos of the army.
She tried to rush to help, but was stopped by a larger number of soldiers.
Someone came at her, and she slashed into the air, splitting into two blood-spurting corpses.
After that, more people came at her.
In the crowd, the man's angry roar was heard, and the black evil qi shook the falling snow in the sky, and the unparalleled thunder exploded above the long street. Then it turned into a raging tide and flooded the direction of the city gates.
The huge rubble crashed out, and the screams of pain rang out from the mouths of those generals, and everyone was shocked into the sky, turning into defeated meteors, scattering and falling on the roofs of the houses in Xiapi City.
In the midst of the chaos, the man covered in blood rushed over and stretched out his hand to her and her mother. His eyes had already turned angry blood red, like ghosts and gods.
"Lingqi! Come with me. Fight your way out for your father! โ
Even at the last moment, that man still had the kind of unparalleled domineering spirit that swept through the Eight Desolations, and looked at all directions.
Then, a figure rose from behind the man, obscuring the last rays of the morning sun in the girl's field of vision.
The gun is out, and the person is down. Blood gushing.
The man's outstretched hand froze.
"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, on the orders of the lord, to crusade against the rebellious party Lu Bu."
The cold voice came from the mouth of the silver-armored general. At the same time, there was the loud roar of a man falling from his horse like a landslide.
Countless soldiers rushed forward, and like ants, they quickly tied up the badly wounded man, and then surrounded her.
"This person is the daughter of Lu Bu, and I should personally escort her."
The silver-armored general repelled the soldiers who had gathered around him, and rode up to her, looking down on her and her mother from a condescending position.
"If you accept your fate, I can send your mother and daughter out of the city to keep you in peace."
She understood the man's eyes.
But she pretended not to read.
This person she called Uncle Zhao when she was in Xuzhou City, but now he is one of the accomplices who seriously injured her father.
She couldn't blame him, but she couldn't forgive him for what he had done.
And when the news came that her father was beheaded by Cao Cao in Baimenlou, she strengthened her determination - lurking beside Cao Cao as the daughter of a sinner, waiting for an opportunity to kill Cao Cao to avenge her father.
But when she and her mother were moved to house arrest in Xuchang as a family member of sinners, she suddenly realized that she was getting farther and farther away from the hope of revenge.
She originally thought that Cao Cao, such a lascivious person, would definitely not let go of her criminal family.
At that time, if he comes to the door, he will wait for the opportunity to kill him and avenge his father.
However, after arriving in Xuchang, although the mother and daughter were monitored and controlled when they entered and exited, the other party really treated them politely and did not have any excessive etiquette.
I came to the door twice occasionally, but I only came in and sat down when I passed by the door, and I couldn't see the slightest coveting of my mother and myself.
So the girl knew that the hope of revenge was getting slimmer and slimmer.
In such hopeless years, she and her mother lived a confused life.
After the last motivation to support the two to persevere also turned into a bubble burst, the mother finally chose to die in despair and went to find her husband under the nine springs, leaving the girl alone in the world.
After returning from visiting her mother's grave in the early morning, when she returned to the mansion, she was lying alone in an empty and dead room, she was stunned for a long time, and she fell asleep at some point.
When she woke up again, she heard the sound of soldiers and horses galloping on the street outside, almost making her think that she was still in a nightmare.
As she put on her cloak and walked out of the house, she heard the whispers of the two guards guarding her outside the gate, mixed with the chaotic noise of soldiers and horses, almost inaudible.
"General Xiahou is going to lead his troops to the expedition again? Who are you going to hit this time? โ
"I heard that he went to Jingzhou to fight Liu Bei, and the fear of this person is well known to the world. Not long ago, it was said that Liu Bei found an immortal ghost outside Xiangyang City, called Wolong, which made the prime minister worried, so he sent General Xiahou to lead the army over, wanting to attack Liu Bei first and not give him a chance to recover. โ
"Wolong? Is it the Wolong who has a sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick that can settle the world? โ
"Hey...... I didn't expect you to know, that's right, it's that Wolong. In addition, according to the grapevine, this time Liu Bei actually had great luck, not only found Wolong, but even Wolong's teacher was invited to Xinye by him. With the assistance of this master and apprentice, Liu Bei was only afraid that it would not be long before he would soar, so he made the prime minister so jealous. โ
"Wolong's teacher? What's the name, how come you've never heard of it? โ
"I've never heard of it either, it's someone who hasn't been there before. I heard what it is called Li Yunfei, it is said that he has an eight-year-old daughter, but he has no wife. So not long ago, Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei married his daughter to him as a concubine, wanting to entrap this master of Wolong......"
"Uh...... It's actually a two-character name? Was this man born lowly? โ
"Hey...... Who knows, anyway, I've heard that this person has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes......"
The girl couldn't hear the rest of the words.
She just stood stupidly in the courtyard, her mind blank, and the words of the conversation between the two soldiers kept echoing in her ears.
"What is it called...... Li Yunfei"
"Eight-year-old daughter ......"
"No ...... wife"
"Li Yunfei ......"
"No ...... wife"
"Daughter......
A smiling face appeared in front of her eyes.
"Next time, if you have the opportunity to see you again, I will invite you to go to the clouds and Tiandu for a luxurious meal, so that you can know what modern top cuisine is."
At the last moment in his memory, his hand seemed to reach out from the air, obscuring all the girl's vision, and gently stroked her head.
That strange and comfortable feeling made her look dazed.
"If you go back to the Three Kingdoms, remember to move to Jiangnan. It is safer than in the north, and if I have the opportunity to go to your world in the future, I will go to Jiangnan to look for you and ask for a glass of water and wine at your house. โ
"So until then, don't be like your mother, who rushed to find a short time and die. If I can't find you in Jiangnan, I'll get lost. โ
The man's advice seemed to ring in his ears again.
The girl's tear ducts collapsed in an instant.
She covered her mouth and let out a scream of disbelief.
The man...... He...... Did he really come looking for me...... (To be continued......)
PS: I was going to finish writing this chapter before twelve o'clock, but it turned out that this chapter took more than an hour to write, but it took more than two hours to revise...... Well, I've got sick occasionally, and by the time I finished writing, I found out that it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Accidentally, I stayed up all night again, begging for comfort
