Chapter 18: There Are Assassins!
Two days later, in the morning, Zhang Fei ran to tell Zhao Chen with great interest that the horse pedal was ready.
Zhao Chen stuffed a mouthful of Wan's cake into his mouth and hurried to the door.
In the past two days, Zhao Chen has gradually become accustomed to living with the step trainer and Wan's family, and those inner throbbing and embarrassment have gradually eased.
The trainer followed.
I saw Zhang Fei riding a horse, stepping on the horse's pedals, dancing wildly, his hands unreined, proudly showing his Zhangba snake spear, flexible and free.
Zhao Chen knew at a glance that the horse pedal was completed.
Zhang Fei smiled: "Strategist, you really know everything, such a wonderful thing can be designed." Just such a small pedal is hung on both sides of the saddle, and when a person rides a horse, his feet can be very stable on the pedal, and even those who can't ride a horse can sit firmly on the horseback! ”
"I know a lot of things, and with horses, our cavalry will surely cross the sea."
"That is, don't worry about handing it over to me Lao Zhang, and I will definitely give you an invincible cavalry. Do you want to try it? ”
Zhao Chen smiled, took the reins from Zhang Fei's hand, stepped on the horse pedal with his left foot, and turned over on the horse.
That's right, this is the horse I rode when I was in Inner Mongolia, with the pedal there is a support point, and you can easily balance your body without holding the horse.
Zhao Chen put on a posture and walked around for half a circle, very satisfied.
The step trainer at the door looked at Zhao Chen stupidly, as if he was looking at the lover in his dreams.
A high-spirited man, with unparalleled resourcefulness, has been uneven for himself many times, treats himself like family, and now rides a horse to flutter in the wind, in other words, any woman who is in love will be moved.
The liveliness at the door also attracted Wan's stop.
Zhao Chen saw the step trainer's impatient eyes, Le Ma stopped in front of her and stretched out his hand to her.
"Come!"
This scene is like a prince in a fairy tale inviting the gray princess, and all the spotlights shine on the two.
The foot trainer took Zhao Chen's hand in shame, only to feel a strong force pulling her body off the ground and landing sideways in front of Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen hugged the foot trainer in front of his chest with both hands, pulled up the reins and walked towards the outside of the city.
When Zhang Fei saw it, he laughed: "The military advisor is also a temperamental person, I have to tell the eldest brother that the military advisor has company." ”
The rest of the crowd also smiled and dispersed.
Only Wan Shi, who was standing at the door, showed a little loss in his relieved eyes.
It is said that Zhao Chen took the foot trainer all the way to run wildly, the autumn wind stroked the foot trainer's cheeks, and his hair drew marks on Zhao Chen's chest with the wind.
The trainer only felt that his heart was beating fast, as if he was about to jump out of his mouth, and his face felt hot. She unconsciously hugged Zhao Chen sideways and buried her head in Zhao Chen's arms.
Only then did Zhao Chen react to whether the actions of the two were too intimate, but he himself enjoyed this feeling.
All the way to Chengzi Lake, Zhao Chen stopped.
The two dismounted and looked at Chengzi Lake.
The setting sun is reddish and falls on the sparkling lake, like a piece of red silk.
From a distance, a pair of beautiful women and a horse, with mountains and lakes in the distance, are like a moving picture.
The trainer revelsed in the beautiful scenery and danced with his hands.
Zhao Chen looked at the step trainer, his charming smile and elegant dancing posture, and smiled.
"I have lived in Huaiyin for fifteen years and have not found such a beautiful scenery in Chengzi Lake, Houde, it is you who put on beautiful clothes for Chengzi Lake."
Zhao Chen's words made Zhao Chen a little embarrassed.
I didn't expect Xiao Nizi to talk about love, and her rank is very high.
"In the future, we can see all the scenery of China together."
"Hmm!"
The two looked at each other affectionately, their hearts were close, but their bodies kept a distance from each other.
Suddenly, Zhao Chen felt a chill behind him, and there seemed to be a murderous aura approaching quickly.
He turned to check, and sure enough, a long sword was already within reach.
Zhao Chen was taken aback and hurriedly retreated, wanting to turn around and get out of the assassin's sword path.
But who knew that the assassin's swordsmanship was superb, and the long sword followed Zhao Chen closely.
Seeing this, the foot trainer threw himself in front of Zhao Chen regardless of his safety.
The assassin was slightly startled and wanted to return the sword, but unfortunately it was a little late.
Seeing that the sword was about to stab the step trainer, Zhao Chen was in a hurry, hugged the step trainer tightly with both hands, and turned sideways slightly.
The sword grazed the foot trainer's arm, and the foot trainer's skin that could be broken by blowing a bullet was broken, and blood flowed down the arm.
Zhao Chen was very angry in his heart, and he pulled away to check the wound of the step trainer.
The trainer smiled: "Houde also injured his arm when he first saved me and my mother, and today the trainer returned it to you." ”
"I am sincere in saving you, how can I return it."
"I'm also willing to block the sword for you."
Zhao Chen nodded and got up to face the assassin.
"Who are you, and why do you stab me?"
The assassin replied, "Okay, don't change your name, you don't change your surname, Shia." Somebody wants to buy your head. ”
Shia? No wonder he is good at swordsmanship, he is the one who has won Wang Yue's swordsmanship. Today's top swordsmanship, Liu Bei should not be his opponent.
In fact, Liu Bei's swordsmanship is very strong, and it can be seen in the battle of the Yellow Turban, but as the lord in the later stage, there are few confrontations before the battle.
Zhao Chen recalled everything he had done since he arrived in this era, and he didn't have a grudge against anyone, so he asked, "Did you make a mistake?" I don't have any enemies. ”
"Are you Liu Bei, Zhao Chen, Zhao Houde?"
"Exactly down there."
"That's right, let's die."
After saying that, Shi Ah raised his sword again to stab.
Zhao Chen tightly guarded the step trainer, dodging left and right, unwilling to leave.
Shi Ah shouted in the air: "A woman, is it that important? You can't hide from that. ”
"It's so important, she's not an ordinary woman, she's my family!"
The step trainer listened and looked at Zhao Chen with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Chen saw Shi A attacking, he no longer had the strength to hide, his eyes rolled, and he shouted loudly: "How much money that person gives you, I, Zhao Chen, will give double!" ”
Shi A was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "I'm a dignified swordsman, is it possible that I achieved it just for silver?" ”
"Not for the money, for what? Also for women? ”
"Nonsense!"
"Is that for unrealistic ideals, for worthless promises, for untrustworthy friends, for black and white reputation? ……”
Zhao Chen chattered a lot, which made Shi A a little irritable.
"It's annoying, less nonsense, let's die."
The sword was aimed at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen thought to himself, it's over, he can't beat it, and he doesn't listen to reason, it's really the end of the road. It has not been a month since I first came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and I encountered a bloody assassination plot, and Lao Tzu still has a lot of plans that are useless, so it's over? He really wanted to slap himself, he knew that he shouldn't have a momentary temperament, so he brought a foot trainer to Chengzihu to show his affection, and he didn't even bring a guard. Otherwise, there is still a chance to live.
It's too late now, so I can only let Shi Zai cut it.
Suddenly, Zhao Chen felt the ground vibrate, and then heard a whoosh, and an arrow slashed in front of him, forcing Shi A back.
"Who dares to hurt our military division!"
Zhao Chen looked up and found that Chen Zhi had arrived with several elite cavalry.
In a matter of moments, the army arrived in front of him, and he controlled Shi Ah by dividing it by two.
Although Shi A's swordsmanship is superb, the sword on the battlefield is too short, and it is far from the sword and gun. Therefore, in the era of cold weapons, the figure of the sword is rarely seen on the battlefield. What's more, Chen Zhi and the others are all battle-hardened people, and they overpower Shi A in terms of momentum.
Chen Zhi escorted Shi A to Zhao Chen.
"Strategist, are you injured?"
"I'm not hurt, you can bandage the foot trainer."
Zhao Chen handed over the foot trainer to the soldiers on the side, came to Shi A by himself, and tied Shi A without saying a word.
Shi A was slightly startled and asked, "Why?" ”
"You are a chivalrous man, I have heard of you a long time ago, you are loyal and courageous, and you don't promise money for money. It's a pity that you took the wrong path, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't pity your swordsmanship in vain. ”
"I, Zhao Chen, have always been above board, if you choose to leave, tell the buyer that if you have the ability, you will come generously. If you can trust me, stay by my side, my lord Liu Xuande is thirsty for talent, and you will have a place to use in the future. ”
Shi A was unexpected, he didn't expect that there were still people who had heard of his name, and he didn't flinch in the face of his sword, and he could actually take the initiative to release his suspicions after being arrested, which is rare in the world for such a prime minister.
Shi A didn't know whether to go or stay for a while, he had walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, just hoping to achieve himself like Wang Yue, but after all, he didn't get his wish, and he did this forced way.
Zhao Chen left Shi A with a horse and some military rations, and walked towards Huaiyin City with the foot trainer and Chen Zhi.
"Thank you, uncle, for saving me."
Chen Zhi replied: "Where is the military advisor?" But the military advisor, did you just let the assassin go? ”
Zhao Chen replied mysteriously: "It's not to put it, it's to leave him some time, and he will come back sooner or later." ”
"By the way, Shuzhi, did you have a smooth trip?"
"The military advisor calculated, everything went well, as soon as our army arrived, those counties all heard the wind and surrendered, and when they came back, they also handed over a few bandits and pulled some food back."
"Has the king of Chengzi Lake been destroyed?"
"It's extinguished, and I haven't struggled a few times."
Zhao Chen nodded.
