Chapter 50 Troubled Times

Even if there is reluctance, the descent brings unprecedented excitement to the three of them. Especially Tong Fei, who has never been in contact with outsiders, was even more active along the way, and soon threw the parting feelings out of the clouds.

Although the mountain road was rugged, it could not stop the three brothers. Facing the coolness of the spring rain, the three brothers who were very excited in the evening finally walked out of this mountain where they had lived for many years.

The year when the three brothers went out of the mountain was in the spring of the sixth year of Guanghe, and in 183 A.D. And this year, Jiang Qi and Zhao Yun just turned sixteen years old, and the youngest Tong Fei was only fifteen years old, that is, from this year, what they did will open a new chapter in the history of the Han Dynasty.

Walking out of the mountain, the three teenagers riding tall horses looked east and west, just like the hillbilly entering the city, if anyone was better, only Zhao Yun, who had lived freely for a few years, of course, he was not good there.

"Senior brother, didn't it be very lively if you said it? Why didn't there even be a figure after walking for a long time" After passing through the second uninhabited village, Tong Fei wiped the rain from his hair bun and couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows! When my master and I passed by here, we also begged for a bowl of water with a blind date here! Jiang Qi made a lookout outfit on the horse, and then turned back to Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, was there anyone here when you first entered the mountain?" ”

"Of course, it was still the middle of summer, and my master and I were passing through the mountains and were meeting the people of the village going to work, and some people asked us to go there. But now I have waited all the way to see that there is no one to cultivate the fields, and now it is early spring, if only my family should be sowing seeds in the fields! ”

"Weird? What the hell is going on here, even the people don't farm anymore. No wonder when I went down the mountain, the master said that the world was a little chaotic! Jiang Qi frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Let's enter the city as soon as possible!" Only then will I know that there is indeed a creepy feeling in this wilderness now. ”

Saying this, the three brothers hurriedly beat their horses and galloped, hoping to see a living person sooner. The three BMW Cokes that they had not been able to gallop well at this acceleration broke down, and they kept speeding up, and the short twenty-odd miles seemed to be over in a blink of an eye.

When they approached the city gate, Jiang Qi and the others finally saw the long-lost living person. However, it seems that the pedestrians are in a hurry, and some people even drag their children and daughters with large bags of things, as if fleeing. When they saw the three of them galloping towards them on horseback, they all dodged and fled, and they were terrified.

Looking at the behavior of the pedestrians, the three of them were even more puzzled, but before Jiang Qi and the others could figure out the situation, two teams of soldiers wearing armor rushed out of the city gate, and the low city without a moat was even placed under the horse.

"Array、、、、、、 An officer wearing the armor of the team leader immediately drew his sword and raised one arm and roared.

The team leader surnamed Chen Mingzhong, is the brother of the county lieutenant of Xu Wu, today he is in charge of patrolling the four gates, and as soon as he walked to the east gate, he heard the uncle shouting that the enemy was attacking. Therefore, he did not have time to consider bringing his soldiers over to help close the city gates. However, when I saw that the so-called enemy attack was only three people, I couldn't help but wonder.

With an order, the two teams of well-trained soldiers began to run in an orderly manner. The soldiers were lined up neatly, the front row knelt on one knee, the tail of the spear in his hand was against the ground, the head of the spear with a cold light was obliquely inserted into the air, and the group of soldiers behind was ready to attack with archers.

In the face of the sudden battle, Zhao Yun and Tong Fei, two chicks who had never seen the world, were startled, and reached out to untie the weapons hanging in front of them.

Only Jiang Qi hurriedly retracted the reins, stepped on the snow and slid a few steps before retracting his figure. Jiang Qi's move also made the two junior brothers who were a little slower behind react, and quickly retracted the reins and stopped, indicating that he had no malicious intent.

"Who is coming, and why is it innocent?" Chen Zhong looked at the people who came, but the three teenagers relaxed slightly, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, and the kid didn't see it clearly and was shouting 'enemy attack'.

But it's no wonder that everyone is a little nervous these days. Of course, even if it's weird, you can only blame the damn Xianbei people, who have taken advantage of the corruption of the court every year, and originally thought that those Xianbei people didn't come to change their sex last year. I don't want to, but it's a big mistake, it was originally around December, but Xianbei from Koubian came in March this year.

Of course, it can also be guessed that the Xianbei people only came at this time, and it should be that many cattle and sheep were frozen to death in the heavy snow at the end of last year, and now they are here to find food.

However, their arrival has made the border people of the Han Dynasty live, not to mention Liaodong, which bears the brunt of the situation. Now seeing that the imperial court reinforcements have not come for a long time, the counties can only resign themselves to their fate and strictly defend themselves.

"General, I and my two junior brothers have just learned the art of going down the mountain here, I don't know why the general is stopping us and others?" Stop the mount, Jiang Qi saluted on the horse and said.

But Jiang Qi's response was only exchanged for a wave of Chen Zhong's arm, and then he was surrounded by the soldiers behind him. Seeing Zhao Yun and Tong Fei, who were worried in their hearts, they couldn't help but put their hands on the hilt of the sword hanging on the horse's back vigilantly, ready to fight back.

And only Jiang Qi was still in the audience looking at the person who gave the order with a smile. Of course, this is not to say that Jiang Qi is not on guard, he is just showing weakness to the enemy, as long as the other party has a strange move, he has been secretly lucky, he can capture him in a suck.

"Passing by?" Chen Zhong stared closely at the fearless young man in front of him, and faintly felt that this seemingly non-threatening person was not simple at all, and couldn't help but change his attitude and said, "But there is a letter 、、、、."

Jiang Qi thought for a while, took out the road guide given to him by the master when he came down from Tianzhu Mountain from the package, and said: "I have been in the mountain for a few years, I don't know if it was possible in the past?" ”

Chen Zhong took Jiang Qi and threw it over, printing the road seals that had been stamped with many seals all the way from Anhui County, and looked at it carefully and felt that it should be true. Only then did he put a little snack and said, "Are you from Jiangdong?" ”

"Hehe, yes, at that time, the kid was learning the Tao in Tianzhu Mountain, but he couldn't bear the hardships, so he was guided and studied under a hermit in Xu Wushan" Jiang Qi replied with a smile.

Originally, Jiang Qi just wanted to perfunctory him, but he didn't expect Chen Zhong to be interested, and the words he said made him cry and laugh: "Oh, is it? Where is the hermit, I wonder if he still accepts disciples? ”

"Ahh If the general is interested, it is better to go up the mountain and ask the teacher, but now we can go into the city or not, and we have not eaten today. ”

"Haha, this is easy to say, let it go." Chen Zhong saw that Lu Ping had no problems and no interest in embarrassing them, perhaps he didn't have the energy to embarrass them. Besides, looking at their momentum, they don't feel like they are easy to provoke, so they let them go as soon as possible, and finally reminded: "It's not very safe in the city these days, and a few little brothers had better leave quickly." ”

However, Jiang Qi didn't care about his reminder, looking at the rejection of the horse that was pulled away, the three of them just wanted to enter the city quickly to fill their stomachs, of course, Jiang Qi still didn't forget to intervene and said to Chen Zhong when he left: "Thank you."

Bidding farewell to the curfew, entering the city and watching the houses close in broad daylight, and there were not even stalls on either side of the street, the three of them couldn't help but be a little speechless. In particular, after walking three streets in a row, there was no store open, and the stomach people who listened to the drums were even more annoyed.

Today, after a day's journey down the mountain, the three brothers just ate some pastries prepared by the master. At this moment, it was getting late, cold and hungry, Jiang Qi couldn't help but complain: "What is going on, is it really a great task from heaven to starve his body?" In his complaint, he naturally regretted that he had forgotten to ask those soldiers just now, where they could find food.

There was really no way, and the three of them came to the outside of a store at the end of the street with the word inn printed on it. Jiang Qi, who didn't want to go anymore, turned over and dismounted, cheekily stepped forward and knocked on the door twice. Fortunately, soon there was a sound inside: "Who 、、、、"

Hearing someone respond, Jiang Qi said happily: "Shop, stay in the 、、、 store"

Hearing Jiang Qi's voice, after squirming for a while. Finally, the closed storefront removed a door panel, and a fat head with a cloth towel protruded from inside.

The head stared at Jiang Qi and them for a long time, and when they saw the faces of several people clearly, the somewhat frightened expressions of the people who came showed a smile.

After making sure that Jiang Qi and the others had no bad intentions, the person who came hurriedly opened the closed door of the store, and a pair of rats rolled around in their eyes, and greeted warmly: "Please come inside the guest officer!" ”

After greeting him, he shouted to the inside: "Pillar, quickly lead the guest horses to the backyard stable." ”

Hearing the boss shouting, a man in his twenties with a wooden face ran out of the store. The guy nodded to Jiang Qi to say hello, and then went to lead the horse as instructed, but his action startled Jiang Qi, and it was too late to stop it.

As soon as the guy grabbed the reins on the horse's neck, the wild snow treaded and his front hooves were raised, but fortunately, Tong Fei next to him saw that something was wrong and quickly raised his kick and kicked the guy down, otherwise it would be strange not to kick his head with the foot strength of the snow.

Not only is it the white dragon and red dragon who have always been unruly when they step on the snow, but others don't want to get close. And the most irritable is the snow treading, until now its owner Jiang Qi can ride, even Zhao Yun, who is good at riding, is also discouraged when he looks at the snow, but fortunately, as long as he doesn't ride the snow, he will not object to the two of them approaching.

Seeing that the mount was in trouble, Jiang Qi hurriedly picked up the frightened guy and quickly apologized: "It's not hurt, I'm really sorry, I haven't seen anyone else on this mount except for a few brothers, I'm really sorry to scare you." As he spoke, he gave Tong Fei another look.

Brothers who have lived together since childhood can often convey news with one look, Tong Fei nodded to show that he understood, personally took the reins of the three horses and said: "I can come, where is the stable of the store." ”

"Don't show the way to the guest officer!" The shopkeeper looked at the teenagers in embarrassment, and finally raised his leg to kick the guy who had not recovered from the fright. In the pain, Mu Nai's guy came back to his senses and quickly guided Tong Fei to enter through the side door.

Walking into the store with their respective parcels and weapons, Jiang Qi saw that in addition to them, there were several tables of people sitting in the small living room, judging from their salutes, they should all be foreign business travelers, and now they are drinking and talking about things.

The shopkeeper led Jiang Qi and Zhao Yun to an empty seat and sat down, and asked enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?" ”

It's just that without Jiang Qi, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl has already run out of the backyard. The girl has a pair of big eyes under the curved eyebrows, and her pretty face has a pair of small dimples, which is very cute.

As she came out, she saw the girl stop the shopkeeper's hand and ask, "Daddy, there are guests." ”

"Yes! Yu'er, why don't you stay in the backyard and come out? The shopkeeper reprimanded his daughter a little dotingly.

"Daddy, all the guys in this store are gone, let's help my daughter!" Yu'er took the white towel in her father's hand, wiped the food table where Jiang Qi was sitting and said.

The shopkeeper looked at his sensible daughter and smiled, and when someone called for the checkout, he had to walk away.

"What do the two brothers want to eat?" Yu'er asked the two handsome-looking teenagers in front of her with a smile. Maybe it's at the age when love first blooms, Yu'er obviously blushes.

However, Jiang Qi didn't pay attention to these, touched the junior brother next to him and asked, "What does Zilong want, Zilong, Zilong, feed 、、、"

"Ah、、、, I'm sorry brother, what did you just say?" It wasn't until he heard Jiang Qi's continuous shouting that Zhao Yunzhu came back to his senses in thought and said embarrassedly.

"Oh," Jiang Qi looked left and right in the face of Zhao Yun's expression, and made a look of understanding. In the end, his evil smile made Zhao Yun's original little white face turn into a big red face.

"Senior brother, don't think about it. I、、No"

"Got it! Are you not thinking? ”

"Really 、、、、"

"Of course、、、、" Looking at Zhao Yun, who obviously didn't believe him, Jiang Qi smiled and said to Yu'er, who was also red-faced: "Is the girl's name Yu'er?" ”

"Yes, yes, how did Childe know?" Looking at Jiang Qi's eyes, Yu'er, who was a little unfluent in speaking, was a little curious when she heard Jiang Qi's inquiry, but soon realized: "By the way, it must have been Gongzi who heard his father call Yu'er like this just now!" ”

"Hehe, Yu'er, can my brother ask you a question?"

"What?"

"Do you have a mother-in-law?"

"Ah、、、、、h

"Not? The main thing is that my junior brother doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet, if the girl doesn't have it, you might as well consider it! ”

"Senior Brother、、、、、" "Childe 、、、、、"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, no kidding. I'm a little hungry after a day of traveling, can Yu'er get some ready-made food and two catties of wine, okay? Seeing that the two of them were blushing, Jiang Qi restrained his noisy heart and touched his stomach and said.

"Okay son, wait a minute! Yu'er went to the kitchen to take a look, and he will be there immediately! The face of being molested was flushed, and Yu'er quickly agreed to run away after listening to Jiang Qi's words.
