Chapter 44: The Bad News is determined to take revenge
Although Guan Ping saw Zhao Shu's strange appearance, he still felt unhappy in his heart, and continued: "Father immediately agreed, and he wanted to send Feng Mei over on the next day, but the result was ......" He glanced at Zhao Shu again and said: "As a result, Feng Mei and the second brother disappeared that night." ”
"What?" Zhao Shu felt that in the dark night, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed, and he got up and held Guan Ping's hand and asked in surprise, "Where did the two of them go?" Guan Ping was more and more sure that he had love for Guan Feng at this moment, and sighed silently, saying, "I don't know about this brother." My father couldn't find him in Jingzhou, so he asked his brother to send a letter into Sichuan and inquire on the road. ”
Exploring the road? Zhao Shu muttered a few times, could it be that the two of them would go into Sichuan together? How is this possible, Zhao Shu looked at Guan Ping, and asked again: "What news did the eldest brother find?" Guan Ping shook his head slightly, but said: "For my brother, I want to persuade my brother to say a word, my father and my third uncle attach great importance to this marriage, and my brother must not get in the way." ”
Zhao Shu was quite surprised, when did he get in the way? But suddenly remembered the sentence that Guan Feng wanted to chew carefully, and at this moment suddenly had a bright idea, what she said was "inconvenient to meet", does it mean that "I am willing to see each other in my heart"? Zhao Shu sat down dejectedly, could it be that she would love herself?
Seeing Zhao Shu's expression, Guan Ping originally thought that he had abducted the two, but now he no longer doubted it, but said with relief: "Don't worry about the virtuous brother, both of them have martial arts, and ordinary people can't hurt them." But after all, one is Miss Xian Xian, and the other is a child about ten years old, Zhao Shu suddenly got up, pulled Guan Ping up and shouted: "Let's go, I'll look for it together." ”
In the next few days, Zhao Shu not only went to find Guan Ping privately, but also persuaded Huang Zhong to send the generals to investigate everywhere. Zhao Shu originally wanted to say goodbye to Liu Bei, but at this time, the war was about to break out, and he would definitely not let him leave easily. can only be outside the customs for dozens of miles, back and forth, but there is no news.
On this day, as soon as Zhao Shu returned to the camp, a sergeant reported that Liu Zhang's envoy arrived again, hurriedly dressed up, and came to Liu Bei's big tent. Before he could go in, he heard Liu Bei inside, and scolded angrily: "I am fighting the enemy for you, and I work hard." Thou hast accumulated wealth and been stingy with rewards, why hast thou hast made thy soldiers serve thy commands? ”
Zhao Shucai suddenly remembered that Pang Tong offered Liu Bei a plan, and also knew that Liu Zhang was stingy with soldiers and horses, money and food, and did not agree to Liu Bei's request, and the two families broke off the relationship. Zhao Shu hurriedly entered the account, and saw Liu Bei tear up several handfuls of Liu Zhang's books, and ordered someone to blast out the messenger. Waiting for the envoy to hug his head and run away, Pang Tong stepped forward and said: "The lord only values benevolence and righteousness, and today he is angry with the destruction of the book, and the previous situation is completely abandoned." ”
Liu Bei nodded, turned to look at Zhao Shu and the others, and asked, "So, what should I do?" ”
Pang Tong struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly said: "The matter has come to this point, you can quickly send troops to seize Xichuan." ”
Liu Bei naturally agreed, but nodded and said: "Zhang Ren once said, Fushui Guan Yang Huai, Gao Peier will have a close relationship with him, and he can ask someone to go to settle it first." When the army arrives, let it open its doors and surrender. Zhao Shu was about to go out of the customs to find out the news of Guan Feng, and immediately asked for help: "Shu is willing to lobby the second general." ”
Liu Bei glanced at him again, nodded hesitantly and agreed, and when Zhao Shu turned around and was about to come out, he spoke again: "Mr. Wang, he is serious about big things." Zhao Shu immediately understood what Liu Bei meant, and hugged his fists and said: "The lord is safe, and he doesn't dare to waste the prince with silk." Immediately returned to the account to clean up a little, and then Huang Zhong and Guan Ping led a few rides to Fushui Pass, and Yu Lu continued to inquire about the news of the Guan family's sisters and brothers.
Soon to reach the pass, but suddenly heard the sound of swords fighting in the forest next to the road, Zhao Shu was suspicious, but Guan Ping said: "This place is very close to Fushui Pass, I am afraid it is the Xichuan military horse, and my brother can look forward to visiting." Guan Ping agreed to go, and when he was young, he heard him shout: "Bold thief, don't hurt my second brother." ”
It's Guan Xing! Zhao Shu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed over with Huang Zhong, turned a few trees, and saw that more than ten horsemen were surrounding the Ping brothers, and there were already more than a dozen corpses on the ground, which were the uniforms of the Xichuan sergeants. Zhao Shu didn't see Guan Feng's heart more anxious, and he was afraid that the Sichuan army would return to Guanzhong to report to Yang, the second general, and there was a lot of inconvenience, so Huang Zhong said: "Father-in-law, don't leave your mouth alive." ”
Huang Zhong nodded and smiled: "For my father's treasure, the bow has not been issued for a long time. "He took the arrow and bent the bow, and only heard a few string sounds, and the other party fell off his horse one after another. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the remaining horsemen wanted to scatter and flee, but they could not avoid it, or they were killed by Guan Ping or shot to death by Huang Zhong. Zhao Shu didn't want to see the killing, but he couldn't do it, so he had to recite "Amitabha" a few more times in his heart.
When the other party was completely annihilated, Zhao Shu stepped forward immediately, only to see that Guan Xing had suffered several knife wounds on his body, and his blood-stained robe, his face was as usual, and he couldn't help but praise himself, but he was worried about Guan Feng in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Why isn't your eldest sister with you?" Guan Xing's originally calm face cried loudly when he asked: "The eldest sister has thrown herself into the river and died." Zhao Shu waited for many days, but he didn't want to wait for such bad news, so he immediately screamed and fell off the horse, not waking up.
When Zhao Shu woke up slowly, he saw Huang Zhong, Guan Ping, and Guan Xing all surrounding him, looking concerned, so he got up and asked Guan Xing carefully. But it turned out that the sister and brother went all the way from Jingzhou to Sichuan, passing through this pass, and Yang Huai, the general guarding the pass, saw Guan Feng's appearance, so he had a bad heart and ordered someone to arrest the two. The two of them are alone, how can they be against the army? couldn't escape all the way, Guan Feng was afraid of being captured and humiliated, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. Guan Ping broke through alone, but fortunately, Yang Huai saw that Guan Feng was dead, and he had no intention of Guan Xing, so he only sent a few men to chase and kill, and retreated to Guan by himself. Fortunately, Guan Xing met Zhao Shu and his party, otherwise he would be afraid of an accident.
Guan Ping and Guan Xing were in tears, but Zhao Shu got up and shouted, "Don't cry." The two looked at Zhao Shu in astonishment, as if it was very different from when they fainted just now. Zhao Shu decided to avenge Guan Feng, and said coldly: "Guan Xing quickly went to Jia Meng to ask the lord to come with an army overnight. Father-in-law, brother can follow me into the customs. Then he turned over and got on his horse, and all the people listened to his command, and came down together.
Before arriving at the gate, Zhao Shu reported his identity and loudly switched on and off in the city. The sergeant passed in, and when Yang Huai was young, the second general Gao Pei personally greeted him. Zhao Shuqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, finished saluting with the two, and entered the customs side by side. Entering the second general's mansion, the guest sat down, Zhao Shu said: "My lord heard that Cao Cao raised troops to the south, so he wanted to return to Jingzhou. ”
The two glanced at each other, and Gao Pei asked again, "Uncle Huang really wants to go back to Jingzhou?" Zhao Shu nodded again and replied, "Exactly." Jingzhou is the foundation of our lord, and there is no room for error. ”
