Chapter 8 Farewell to Maleonn as a Gift of Good Horses
Ma Liang watched Zhao Shu happily walk towards his mount, and was very happy in his heart, he was a generous elder by nature, so he could impress Zhao Shu's words and admire him. Since he gave his beloved mount to him, he definitely wouldn't change his mind as suddenly as Zhao Shu was worried, but sincerely hoped that Zhao Shu would accept his heart. When Ma Liang saw Zhao Shu standing still again, he also said that Zhao Shu "a gentleman can't bear to take the love of others", and stepped forward to persuade: "Jingwei must achieve great things, but should not be limited to small sections, not to mention that I sincerely give it, please don't hesitate Jingwei." ”
Zhao Shuwei only agreed, knowing that Ma Liang had misunderstood what he meant, but the words had come to this point, and it was inconvenient to excuse himself, so he turned his heart sideways, took the reins of the horse, and was about to turn over and get on the horse. Only then did Ma Liang see that Zhao Shu's movements were stiff, as if he had never ridden a horse, but he remembered what Zhao Shu said, growing up in overseas places since childhood, could it be that there are no horses there? At the moment, he secretly blamed himself for being reckless, and hurriedly stepped forward to support, while explaining the essentials of the ride.
Fortunately, Zhao Shu has a high level of understanding, and this horse has been with the horse for a long time, and he has probably also been infected with the habits of the elderly, and he is obedient and surprisingly docile. About half an hour later, Zhao Shu felt that he could ride freely, so he hugged his fists and said to Ma Liang: "Mr. Ma is noble, Shu really admires it in his heart, if he can see him again in the future, he will repay the kindness of today's food and gift to Ma." ”
Ma Liang said with a straight face when he heard this: "The gentleman is handed over to righteousness, and the villain is handed over to profit." When Jingwei says this, doesn't he despise me? Zhao Shu was originally grateful for the kind words, and didn't want to displease Ma Liang, so he hurriedly said: "I am sorry for the gaffe, I hope Mr. Don't blame." Ma Liang had a good temper, and secondly, he knew that Zhao Shu had only returned to his homeland in recent years, and he got along all night, and there were indeed many inappropriate etiquette words, but he understood that his original intention was not bad, so he laughed it off. Zhao Shuwei was afraid that he would say too much and lose something, so he hurriedly left. The two exchanged cherishes again, and Zhao Shu drove away. Ma Liang waited until Zhao Shu disappeared from sight before turning around and entering.
Now that the Battle of Chibi has broken out, as Zhuge Kongming said when he lobbied Sun Quan, "Jing, Wu's strength is strong, and the formation of Dingzu is also." The world can't be unified in the end, and which monarch should I go to as a backer? Along the way, Zhao Shu kept asking himself this question. After Cao Cao's defeat was defeated, he was afraid that he had already fled to the north in a hurry, and although he had some property from Ma Liang, he didn't know if he could hold on to Xuchang. Besides, the soldiers are vicious all the way, they travel long distances alone, and their safety cannot be guaranteed, and they will not die after falling into the river, if they die under the butcher's knife of a robber and bandit, wouldn't it be wronged?
Jiangdong Sun Quan, Zhao Shu has always disliked it, and he has never been chosen as the monarch in the Three Kingdoms game, and Jiangdong has a deep concept of the gate valve, he is a broken scholar, why can he get a piece of the pie? The only thing that can be taken refuge in front of him is Liu Bei. After the Chibi War, Liu Bei's career was thriving, if it weren't for Guan Yu's carelessness in Jingzhou, there might still be something to do. And Liu Bei is said to be a corporal of Lixian, anyway, Zhao Shu is just looking for a place to settle down, which is indeed a good choice. Moreover, Zhao Shu is not a person who is deeply poisoned by the Confucian idea of loyalty and patriotism, if he does not do well under Liu Bei, he can take an opportunity to jump ship to Cao Cao's side. Thinking about this section, Zhao Shu couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face, since God made such a joke with himself, why didn't he make another joke with history?
With Zhao Shu's familiar historical knowledge, whenever Liu Bei made a mistake, he gave some guidance from the side, coupled with the courage of the five tiger generals, the wisdom of Wolong, and the phoenix, there is still a chance to unify the world. When he thought of the word "home", Zhao Shu felt a huge pain in his heart, his parents only had his only son, after the loss, what kind of sadness would it be now?
Zhao Shu knew that this was Jingzhou, and the geography was not clear if it was a little more detailed, so he had to believe in the reins of the horse and ride the horse casually under the newborn sunrise. Sitting down, the white horse seemed to understand the confusion of the new master, and tried to slow down as much as possible, walking along the flat side, not wanting to disturb the master's thoughts.
Time passed slowly, the day was already noon, Zhao Shu sat down and loved the horse, so he got off the horse and found a piece of grass on the side of the road to rest for a while. The scenery and vegetation of the Three Kingdoms period are naturally many times stronger than those of later generations, this lawn is soft and comfortable, Zhao Shu took out some dry food left by Ma Liang on the horse, used some indiscriminately, and lay on the grass in all directions. I didn't close my eyes all night last night, after Zhao Shu lay down at the moment, he felt sleepy, his eyelids were heavy, he forgot his parents and girlfriend in another world, and the helpless and embarrassing situation in front of him, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
In the dream, Zhao Shu returned to the afterlife, returned home, and ate with his parents and his beloved Yiyi, which was a delicious meal specially made by his mother for herself. But just as Zhao Shu picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, he was woken up by a commotion. Zhao Shu muttered and cursed, but when he opened his eyes, he was enraged by the scene in front of him, it turned out that several men in soldier costumes were robbing the white horse given to him by Ma Liang. The white horse is very human, knowing that his master is still sleeping, and these people just want to steal themselves, so that no matter how others are involved, they will not leave.
Among those sergeants, one of them couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the wooden handle of the weapon in his hand, and kept hitting the white horse's buttocks, and there were already a few obvious bruises. "Stop." This horse was given by Zhao Shu's only friend in this strange space, Ma Liang, and it is also his beloved thing, how can it be so ruined? Zhao Shu didn't care about the large number of opponents and the blade in his hand, so he hurriedly ran over and shouted to stop.
These sergeants saw Zhao Shu lying aside, and knew that he was the owner of the white horse, at this time the whole country was in turmoil, and the war horse was still precious, plus this horse was born strong and straight, and his heart was itchy, but because of the strict orders from above, he could not rob and kill, so he wanted to take advantage of Zhao Shu's sleep to take the horse away. How do you know that this horse just didn't know how to lift, but kicked and injured a person, so the person who took the lead drove away with weapons, not wanting Zhao Shu to wake up at this time, and stepped forward to stop it violently, which made these people stunned, looking at the person dressed as a Confucian in front of them in a daze.
Or the person who took the lead quickly reacted and laughed: "This little brother, this horse is yours?" ”
Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Yes, don't think about it." ”
The man smiled, his expression was quite disappointed, so he had to sigh and say to the next few people: "Let's go." ”
