Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Black-Faced Man
"Cloud Chief! You have to think about it! Sun Gan's face sank completely, and he said in an unkind tone, "The lord is waiting for you to save his life, and you just let it go?" ”
"It's been said and I won't repeat it." Although Guan Yu's expression was complicated, his attitude was very resolute, and he didn't seem to have any room for negotiation.
"Guan Yunchang!" Sun Qian was completely anxious.
If Guan Yu really returned to Xuchang, then how should he Sun Qian deal with himself? How much face do you have to go back and meet your lord?
"Thou shalt preserve the two mistresses and fulfill the name of righteousness. Then haven't you thought about what the world will say about you, beheading the good and ugly, putting the lord in danger? ”
"If you let your brother get into danger, is it not your loyalty?"
"I've made up my mind, Gongyou doesn't need to persuade me anymore!" Guan Yu no longer looked at Sun Qian, and said with his sleeves brushed.
Guan Yu has thought about this situation clearly in the past few days, and it is impossible to be easily shaken by Sun Qian's words.
"You ......"
Sun Gan choked on a word, pointed at Guan Yu, and couldn't say a word.
It's all said that to this point, you can't tie Guan Yu to Hebei, right?
"Guan Yunchang! If this causes your brother to be separated, don't blame me for not reminding you! Sun Qian was really forced to have no choice, and pointed at Guan Yu and gave an ultimatum.
"Gongyu! Don't talk nonsense! ”
This sentence can be regarded as a bit of a poke at Guan Yu, glaring at Sun Qian and saying, "I have an alliance with my brother Taoyuan, which is regarded as life and death, how can I deviate from morality because of this trivial matter?" All you have to do is tell me what I'm saying, and my brother will understand! ”
"Xianhe, there is a shortage of manpower around my brother, so it's better for you to return to your brother's side with Gongyou!" Guan Yu turned his head and said to Jian Yong again.
"This ......" Jian Yong glanced at Sun Qian, looking a little hesitant.
"Gongyu! There are three passes in front of Bishui, Xingyang, and Huaxian, and the goal of our passing together is too big, and it is easy for Cao Jun to notice, which is very unwise. ”
"What's more, when Yun Chang returns to Xuchang, he is in danger of the enemy camp, and there must always be someone to help him. When you return to Hebei this time, please help me explain to the lord in person. ”
"Constitution and ...... Even you ......"
Sun Qian looked at Jian Yong in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
Jian Yong and Liu Bei have known each other since childhood, and they grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is naturally extraordinary, and even better than Guan Zhang to some extent.
Seeing that Jian Yong was going to follow Guan Yu to join Cao Cao, Sun Qian was really a little incomprehensible.
"Gongyou, the matter is settled, and the lord will hand it over!" Guan Yu nodded, didn't give Sun Qian a chance to question, and directly took over the conversation.
"I will stay outside Bishui Pass for a day, and then quietly return to Luoyang and stay at the post house opposite Shenghe Building. After my brother leaves Hebei, he can go to Luoyang to deliver a letter to me. ”
"At that time, I knew that my brother had left Hebei, and I would leave for Xudu!"
"You're really decided?" Sun Qian saw that Guan Yu's appearance didn't seem to be fake, so he couldn't help but confirm it again.
Guan Yu didn't speak, just looked at Sun Qian with his eyes, and there was no sadness or joy in his eyes.
Seeing this, Sun Gan knew that it was useless for him to talk too much, so he looked at Guan Yu with resentment, turned his horse and went straight to Bishui Guancheng.
Originally, Sun Qian thought that only Luoyang had a special status, so there was no martial law.
I didn't think that Bishui Pass was also wide open, and there was no attitude of waiting for the battle at all.
But Sun Qian didn't think much about it, since there were no soldiers and horses to stop him, it was just conducive to his return to Hebei.
After passing the Bishui Pass, it is the important town of the Central Plains, and Xingyang, the place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.
When Chu and Han fought, Emperor Gao was trapped here by the overlord of Chu and almost died.
If this place is heavily guarded, it is indeed even more difficult for a single rider to pass the level.
However, Xingyang was also unhindered, allowing Sun Qian to pass smoothly.
It wasn't until he reached the realm of Huaxian that Sun Qian felt a trace of nervousness, and there were more soldiers and horses wandering around.
However, this place is adjacent to the Yellow River crossing, and Sun Qian is a scribe, so at first glance it has nothing to do with Guan Yu, and there is no pressure at all to pass the pass, and he passed through Huaxian County very smoothly.
Going further, it is basically out of the control of Cao Jun, and you can let go of your hands and feet and go straight to Yanjin Ferry.
But Huaxian County is nearly 100 miles away from Yanjin, to say the least, and Sun Qian is walking, and this day is westward.
Without the great god Guan Yu by his side, Sun Qian didn't dare to stay in the wilderness overnight.
If you encounter any jackals, tigers and leopards, bandits and grass cowards, the small body is not enough for someone to punch.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet completely dark, Sun Qian hurriedly reined in his mount, looked around, and happened to see a small city faintly not far away, so he hurriedly got off the official road and really ran to the small city.
Gu cheng?
Sun Qian looked at this city that he had never heard of, hesitated for a moment, and rode into the city.
If I really miss this stop, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.
But as soon as he entered the city, Sun Qian felt that something was wrong.
The street was so empty that not even a single figure could be seen.
If it weren't for the fact that the street was still neat and the storefronts on both sides of the road were clean, Sun Qian would have wondered if this was a ghost town that had been abandoned for many years.
Where have all the people in this city gone?
Sun Qian was full of suspicion, led his horse and walked along the main street, and after about seven or eight hundred steps, he finally heard the sound of talking.
When I followed the sound, I saw a large group of people blocking the entrance of the county office, and there was a lot of discussion.
Sun Qian came to him, but he couldn't see the situation inside at all.
"This brother, it's already so late, is the county order still judging the case?" Sun Qian casually pulled a man in the crowd and asked curiously.
Seeing that the sun is about to go down, the county order is still judging the case, can you find such a diligent official in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty?
"Brother Tai is your foreigner, right? I don't know! Yesterday, there was a black-faced man outside the city, and he had to borrow grain from the county commander. The county order was not allowed, but as a result, this big man came to seize the county government today, took away the seal of the county order, and wanted to sit in court and judge the case himself. ”
"Did you see the old man at the front? That was the previous county order, and now I can only be forced to watch the gate! The man was amazed, and he couldn't control his instinct to complain at all.
"Someone took the county office?" Sun Qian was also stunned, and said with interest, "Aren't there any defenders in the city?" How can you be so humiliated? ”
"The black-faced man rode a black horse, and with a spear in his hand, it was fierce and tight, and none of the defenders in the city were his opponents. The county magistrate is so old and weak, how can he stop him? The man shook his head and said.
A big man with a black face?
Riding a black horse and making a spear?
For some reason, an image suddenly appeared in Sun Gan's heart.
"This brother, do you know the name of this black-faced man?" Sun Qian pulled out the man and asked with some urgency.
