Chapter 002: Brother Huang Gai
I'm Liu Bei.
Anxi County is located 200 miles north of the boundary bridge. If you want to go to Anxi, cross the border bridge and go straight north.
In the early morning of the next day, after everything in the clan was arranged, they went out of the gorge with Guan and Zhang Hua and walked towards the boundary bridge. Hua Xiong has been in the canyon for half a year, practicing martial arts every day, and his martial arts have made great progress. This time we went out of the valley together to return to Guanzhong.
After a leisurely journey all the way, I arrived at Jieqiao Town at noon.
This is the second time I've crossed the boundary bridge. The last time I was in a hurry at night, I couldn't take in the scenery around me from the boundary bridge. At this moment, the four of us happened to be standing on the boundary bridge.
The boundary bridge is an ancient stone arch bridge that spans both sides of the White River. For hundreds of years, it has made an indelible contribution to the convenient transportation on both sides of the strait, and the local people have done a very good job in the protection of the boundary bridge, the bridge body is very clean, there is no graffiti, and there is no "so-and-so to visit here" nicks.
Standing on top of the boundary bridge, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. It's just that the chill of early spring has not gone, the earth has not yet recovered, and the beautiful spring and summer scenery cannot be seen. He will definitely visit this place again one day to enjoy the blue water and lush willows.
Hua Xiong glanced at the surrounding scenery and said, "Three brothers, let's break up after this meal." ”
"Brother Hua, let's take care." Zhang Fei replied. I was the first to walk into a restaurant. Looking at his gluttony, it's hard to imagine that he can have anything to do with the word tiger general.
The inn is not small, very formal, but the business is very light, only two people sit in the corner. The fat shopkeeper looked like a thirsty beast, his eyes looking straight out, hoping for more guests. When the shopkeeper saw the guests come in, he was extremely enthusiastic about hospitality.
After I was full of wine and food, I took a sip of wine and said, "Third brother, settle the bill!" We're good to go. ”
"I don't have any money." Zhang Feilisuo replied.
"Hey, you don't bring money with you when you go out? Second brother, you come and give. ”
Guan Yu stretched his red face and said, "I don't have either." ”
"You don't have any money?" Hua Xiong was surprised.
Depend on! I don't have any money with me when I go out! Only to find out that this time out of the valley, the four of us did not bring half a copper except for a change of clothes on our backs.
couldn't help but glance at the three of them: "What should I do?" ”
Guan Yu already had an embarrassed expression on his face, Zhang Fei knelt uncomfortably and remained silent, and Hua Xiong remained silent.
After half a ring, Hua Xiong's eyes lit up. "Hey, hey! The three brothers are waiting, and Hua Xiong will come when he goes! ”
Hua Xiong sneaked out of the store. After waiting for another half an hour, he came back with a stride full of spring. When he was at the door, he yelled: "Shopkeeper, settle the account!" ”
Boy! Hua Xiong knocked five large gold cakes on the table and grinned smugly.
"Brother Hua, I didn't expect you to be a gentleman on the beam!" I chuckled under my breath.
"What a gentleman on the beam, I never disdain that kind of sneaky thing." Hua Xiong drank a bowl of wine and replied.
"Where did the money come from?" Zhang Fei hurriedly asked.
"If the money comes from the wrong way, I'd rather stay and pay for the bill." Guan Yu said with a serious face.
"This ......" Hua Xiong was just about to speak, when four strong men with swords rushed in from the inn and blocked the door, and then the middle-aged man with a big belly walked in the door. The big belly is gorgeously dressed, and at first glance he knows that he is a rich man. The fat oil mouth rebuked no one in his eyes: "Hey, good boy." Robbed the uncle's money and dared to eat in the uncle's inn? ”
I can't help but say that the four strong men with swords are on the same page. Hua Xiong knelt on the spot, didn't look at it at all, drew the big knife in his hand and swung it behind him and reinserted it into the scabbard. The long swords in the hands of the strong men had been broken.
Hua Xiong's sword is really sharp and tight.
In just half a year, Huaxiong's martial arts have made great progress, which is really impressive.
Hua Xiong's move not only surprised me, but also surprised the rich man. Hurriedly ran away with his men.
"Haha~ Brother Hua's martial arts are good!" I laughed approvingly.
"That's the second brother Guan's **." Hua Xiong smiled modestly.
A deep voice shouted, "What a shameless thief! ”
"Who?"
Hua Xiong was furious, and after glancing at the inn, he stared straight at the two middle-aged people on the side of the seat in the corner. And Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have been paying attention to them for a long time. As a result, the gap between Huaxiong and Guan Zhang is still obvious, at least in terms of observation.
"Don't make trouble." The elegant one on the side of the corner seat stopped. The other bearded one was about to press the knife, but when he saw him speak, he stopped again.
"Were you farting just now?" Hua Xiong shouted rudely. He had already held back his temperament, otherwise the sword would have been unsheathed and slashed over.
The urbane middle-aged man got up and said, "I'm sorry. My brother wasn't talking about you. ”
"Nonsense, if there is a kind, pick up the weapon and fight with me."
The beard was about to move, and the elegant person hurriedly said: "Public reply, don't be impatient and miss the big thing." ”
Public? Could it be that Huang Gong covered the yellow cover? In terms of age, Huang Gai is at this age. couldn't help but praise: "This strong man is Huang Gai Huang Gongfu? ”
The man who called the public stood up and said, "Exactly, what do you advise?" Who are you? ”
Wow! He's really a yellow cover! Heaven, earth, I have met a famous general again. Who will be the urbane person next to him? Zhang Zhao?
"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name."
"Huang Chao, Huang Gongxin." The urbane replied.
One of these two people's names is Gai and the other is Chao, both of which mean transcendence. With the same surname, are they brothers? At the moment, he asked: "Are the two seniors equal?" ”
"Not bad." Huang Chao replied elegantly.
"Who are you?" Huang Gai stood up and said again.
made a gesture and said: "Rude, the junior Liu Bei Liu Xuande has seen the two seniors." ”
"You are Liu Bei?" Huang Gai's face was full of surprise.
"Of course, Liu Bei is an ordinary man, why is it worth pretending?"
"Haha~ Big brother. This is to avoid a trip to the canyon. Huang Gai said happily to Huang Chao.
"Yes, yes." Huang Chao is also happy.
"You two want me?"
"You may be seated!" Huang Chao stretched out his hand and asked. So he knelt down opposite him.
"It turned out to be my own brother, Hua Xiong had a misunderstanding just now, please forgive me." Hua Xiong arched his hand, and as he spoke, he squeezed to my side and knelt down. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu stood behind them, acting as guards.
Huang Chao said: "Our brother was ordered by Changsha Sun Taishou to inform Lord Liu. Zhang Rang's League of Assassins had dispatched a large number of Assassins to attack on the road. ”
The Sun Taishou in his mouth is naturally Sun Jian.
"The Assassins?" Zhang Fei was surprised.
"Yes." Huang Gai nodded slightly.
"I've heard a little bit about this organization when I've been traveling. The masters of the Assassin League are like clouds, and they are even more ruthless and ruthless. Guan Yu sighed.
"I'll tell you more about it." Huang Chao said.
"The Assassin League is an alliance of killers organized by the ten permanent servants of the palace. At first, it was composed of thieves from various states and counties, and was responsible for exterminating discordant court officials and assassinating disobedient court officials. As the status of the assassinated officials became higher and higher, the difficulty became greater and greater, and these bandits were naturally incompetent. Therefore, Jian Shuo has secretly trained a group of killers for more than ten years to form the current Assassin Alliance. ”
"Rumor has it that the Assassins have thousands of killers, all of whom are very skilled, and some of them are exceptional. Stealing into the official's mansion, after assassinating the target, he calmly retreated without alarming others, leaving no clues. The government has no way to investigate. Recently, several more officials have been added to the assassination list, and Xuande is among them. ”
