Chapter 15: The Hunt
After a pot of hot wine went down, Zhang Fei's body gradually became hot and dry, and slowly turned into chatterbox.
"Adou...... The third uncle is like ants crawling around in his heart, even if I get on the boat, I can't sleep, let's ride a horse and go by land, right?"
Zhang Fei drank the last sip of wine, threw away the flask, and made his own suggestion.
To be honest, the long-distance journey that lasted day and night had already exhausted Liu Dou physically and mentally, and it was also due to the durability of this body.
But thinking that the Wu army was likely to have controlled the river basin near Jiangling, the risk of encountering the Wu army's warships on the river was extremely high, and he was afraid of 10,000 if he was not afraid of anything, although it was a little harder to take the land route, but it was safer.
"Okay, listen to the third uncle. ”
Seeing that Liu Dou didn't agree happily enough, Zhang Fei smiled "hehe": "What's the matter, the eldest nephew is tired? Back then, I and your father were chased by Cao Bing, but we couldn't even take care of eating." ”
He added some dry wood to the bonfire and continued: "Don't be aggrieved, eldest nephew, when you get to Jiangling, your third uncle will ask you for a daughter-in-law." ”
"Huh...... That's a good feeling. ”
Liu Douhan laughed, revealing a flattering look, "It's still the third uncle who loves his nephew the most!"
Is the third uncle going to marry his daughter Zhang Xingcai to himself?
Let's Liu Dou This is not only to rob Liu Chan's country, but also to rob his milk name, this is even a daughter-in-law?
Deng Ai knew that he was an outsider, and after eating and drinking, he hid to the side and went to sleep, leaving Liu Dou to drink with Zhang Fei while blowing water.
Zhang Fei raised his head and took a sip of hot wine, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about the girl from your second uncle's family, whose name is Yinping." ”
"Guan Yinping?"
Liu Dou looked surprised, thinking that Zhang Fei was talking about Zhang Xingcai, but he didn't expect that he was going to marry the daughter of Second Uncle Guan to himself, but it was unexpected, fortunately he didn't shout "father-in-law" just now.
Zhang Fei nodded, laughed and said: "A few days ago, Sun Quan's blue-eyed child actually repaired a book to his second brother, wanting to marry Yinping for his son. was scolded by your second uncle, the tiger girl can marry a dog, haha...... It's a pleasure!"
"Huh. ”
Liu Dou also laughed with him, not commenting.
Sun Quan is seven years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, strictly speaking, he is not the same age as the fifty-eight-year-old Guan Yu, but his sister Sun Shangxiang is married to Liu Bei, and it stands to reason that the two are equals, and it is not inappropriate to hope to marry Guan Yu.
But Guan Yu knew that this was just a discordant plan by Sun Quan, and refused to give someone a handle, and accepted that he would have a delicate relationship with Liu Bei, so he chose to insult Sun Quan.
Of course, Liu Dou, as a traverser, understood that no matter what choice Guan Yu made, he could not change Sun Quan's idea of coveting Jingzhou, and the stronger Shu Han was, the more afraid Sun Quan became.
And Jingzhou only needs to be in the hands of Shu Han for one day, like the sword of Damoris hanging above the head of Eastern Wu, making Sun Quan's bedroom uneasy.
Zhang Fei touched the thick beard, and said angrily: "Adou, the third uncle told you that the silver screen is so good-looking, and the third uncle has never seen such a handsome girl...... Woman, and tall, seven feet five inches, about the same as your father. ”
"Oh......"
Liu Dou's eyes suddenly became bright, and his tired body was gradually regaining his strength, how could such a handsome Guan girl let her fall into the hands of Wu Gou?
mentioned Guan Yinping, Liu Dou couldn't help but think of Liu Lanzhi from childhood sweethearts.
It's been three or four days since I left the county seat, I don't know how she is doing?
Can Jiao Zhongqing withstand the pressure of her mother and take care of her?
"Poor Ah Zhi, you have to be strong during this time. ”
Liu Dou sighed secretly in his heart, and silently added some dead branches to the bonfire.
Zhang Fei didn't notice the change in Liu Dou's expression, and continued to dance with his eyebrows: "However, the third uncle has to remind you that Yinping has followed your second uncle to practice martial arts since she was a child. ”
"Huh...... It's really a tiger father and no dog girl. ”
Liu Dou praised with a regretful face, "It's a pity that I've been an idiot since I was a child, and I don't know any martial arts." ”
"It's not your fault. ”
Zhang Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Seeing that you are such a big man, you have a lot of strength, so I will break my wrist with your third uncle." ”
After speaking, he grabbed Liu Dou's big hand and stepped down respectively, "You kid use all your strength, don't let the third uncle underestimate you." ”
Although Liu Dou knows that this body is infinitely powerful, how strong is it, is it a grade with Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, or a grade with Guan Ping and Xu Huang, or is it similar to Xu Chu and Dian Wei, the most fierce cattle?
I don't have any concept at all, and today I can use Uncle Zhang to measure my strength.
"The nephew is offended. ”
Liu Dou sank his waist and tied his horse, pouring all the strength of his body into his right arm, and entangled it with Zhang Fei's iron arm with green tendons.
"Good boy!"
Liu Dou's strength obviously exceeded Zhang Fei's judgment, and he almost directly pressed his thick arm underneath, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and hurriedly gritted his teeth and shut up with all his strength.
"Tsk...... This body is really against the sky!"
Liu Dou was ecstatic in his heart, he could obviously feel that Zhang Fei had used all the strength of his body, but he had only used seventy percent.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment, Zhang Fei's forehead was already sweating, and Liu Dou was also out of breath.
Considering that Zhang Fei has been famous for a long time, Liu Dou quietly collected his strength, and finally lost, "The third uncle has a lot of strength, and the nephew lost." ”
Zhang Fei wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, patted Liu Dou's shoulder, and praised: "Good boy, your strength is actually in the middle of the third uncle, and you can rank third or fourth in our big man." ”
The third uncle praised it. ”
Liu Dou smiled, "I don't know who the third uncle is talking about?"
"Your second uncle uses the eighty-two-pound Qinglong Yanyue Knife all day long, and in terms of strength, he is the first in the world. ”
Zhang Fei said like a few family treasures, "The third uncle is slightly weaker than your second uncle, ranking second." You're in third place, or you're slightly behind Ma Meng. But Zilong and Wen Chang are definitely not as strong as you. ”
Liu Dou sighed: "Although my nephew has brute strength, it's a pity that he doesn't know anything about martial arts. ”
"It doesn't matter, the third uncle will teach you, and sooner or later he will train you to become the number one warrior of the big man. ”
Zhang Fei patted his chest confidently, "In this way, your father will fight against Cao Thief again, and he won't have to summon Liu Feng to come out of the battle, and he will be laughed at by Ah Xuan." ”
"Please ask the third uncle to be worshiped by his nephew, and when he has the opportunity, he will teach Adou to practice martial arts. ”
Liu Dou hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Feifei, and didn't care whether he was apprenticed or not, anyway, you have to teach me this martial art.
The dead branches and leaves that had been picked up from the surroundings had been burned out, and the uncle and nephew lay down next to the ashes and slept for an hour.
When the belly of the fish rose in the east, Zhang Fei woke up Liu Dou and Deng Ai, who were still asleep, turned over and got on the horse together, and continued to rush in the direction of Jiangling.
After noon the next day, the three of them left the boundary of Yizhou and entered the territory of Jingzhou, and the road became smoother and smoother, and in the evening, the three of them arrived in Wuxian.
"There are 300 soldiers and horses stationed in Wuxian Gangtun, and the leader is the third uncle's personal soldiers, I will take you to have a hot meal, rest in the middle of the night and then leave. ”
The post road is only four or five miles away from Wuxian Port, Zhang Fei turned the horse's head to lead the way, and Liu Dou and Deng Ai followed the horse.
The lieutenant stationed in Hong Kong, who was drinking, was woken up by the sentry, and when he heard that the right general Zhang Yide had suddenly arrived, he didn't even bother to put on his socks, so he hurriedly went out to greet him with his slippers.
Zhang Fei didn't say where he was going, and told the lieutenant to get some wine and meat, and when he was full of food and drink, he would sleep and continue to hurry in the middle of the night.
The lieutenant didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly complied.
Zhang Fei, Liu Dou and Deng Ai slept in the camp tent for two and a half hours after being full of wine and food, and recovered a little bit of spirit, then got on their horses again and galloped along the post road towards Yiling County.
The three of them hurried all the way, and arrived at the territory of Yiling after noon, and there were only more than 200 miles left from Jiangling.
After filling their stomachs in the town outside Yiling County, the three of them continued to gallop towards Jiangling non-stop, and finally arrived at the foot of Jiangling City when the sun was waning.
