Section 703 Eyes behind the door
That night, Liu Yu borrowed two fast horses from Yan Lie after inspecting the military situation.
The city gate quietly opened, and two fast horses, one after the other, rushed out of the city like flying arrows, crushing countless Qiongyu in the moonlight.
Since there are few people, there is not much movement.
On this snowy night, the armies on both sides relaxed their vigilance, and no one thought that the other side would launch an attack in the snow.
Because this is really a thankless task, the rebels even have a lot fewer soldiers standing guard, and the number of people on the watchtower is cleared.
This undoubtedly brought a lot of convenience to Liu Yu, he and Xie Duyan unexpectedly rushed into the camp of the rebels, and when a few of the rebel soldiers reacted, they were unable to stop his edge.
He didn't give the enemy any chance to gather and encircle, and along the way, he came out with his palms, as if entering a no-man's land, and rushed left and right with Xie Duyan.
Although Xie Duyan's martial arts skills are not high, he was used to seeing bloody battles on the grassland in the past, and even personally led people into battle, so he was not surprised by this kind of scene, and he was always calm as usual.
She followed closely behind Liu Yu, and saw that most of the soldiers of the righteous army were taken by Liu Yu's roaring palm, and they did not dare to step forward and fight hard, and they avoided one after another, and almost no one dared to stop them wherever they passed.
The two quickly broke away from the camp of the rebels and headed for Huashan.
There was a lot of snow on the road, especially after leaving the official road and heading out onto a rough country road. Heavy snow covers the countryside and makes it difficult to distinguish the terrain. The slightest stumbling of a horse would lead to a foot in a ditch beside the road.
The two of them carried torches on horseback to find their way, and it took them a whole hour to come to a small village at the foot of Huashan Mountain.
At this time, the sky was dark, and no stars were shining. Looking at the village from outside, the vague outlines of some of the houses can only be discerned at night.
The two of them faced the cold wind that poured into their necks, and rode their horses towards the village.
Xie Duyan was a little hesitant, perhaps out of caution in her personality, or out of the timidity that girls often have, and said, "If we enter the village so late, will we be treated as robbers, or even scare others?"
Liu Yu smiled loudly, "Ha, maybe others may be scared, but that Zhuge poor should not." Last time, he stayed in the burning house for a long time and was not afraid, how could he be scared by just two people this time?"
"His house was burned, so where does he live now?" Xie Duyan asked, muttering a little in his heart.
"Maybe it's a new house, or maybe it's moving somewhere else, who knows. If he is, then we will see him directly, and if he is not there, ask a few villagers about his whereabouts. ”
Liu Yu was a little unhurried. As the saying goes, there are many good things, and it would be a strange thing to be able to easily recruit such great talents under your command.
"Okay. Xie Duyan nodded lightly, thinking that Liu Yu might not be able to see his expression in the dark night, so he couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly, but the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound.
Fortunately, things went well, and the two rode horses and continued to walk a short distance, and Liu Yu referred to the surrounding scenery and found the original location of Zhuge Poor's house that was destroyed by the fire last time.
On the burned ground, in the thick snow, only a small thatched hut stood. Although the thatched house is small and looks lonely, it has a unique meaning.
Liu Yu had seen Zhuge Qian's debauchery, and this thatched house undoubtedly deepened his inherent impression of the youth.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, "He really didn't leave!"
Xie Duyan looked at the simple thatched house in front of him, and looked up at the snow on the roof of the house, "With such a big snow, isn't he afraid that the roof will be crushed by the snow?"
Liu Yu laughed, "This person is notoriously bold, how can he take this kind of thing to heart." ”
He rolled over and dismounted, walked to the hut and knocked on the door. The door panel is very thin, and because the material is low-quality pine, the sound of knocking on it is quite crisp.
Knock! Knock!
After Liu Yu knocked three times in a row, there was no movement in the thatched house, and he couldn't help frowning, thinking, "Could it be that the people inside are asleep?"
So he struck three more times.
Knock! Knock!
There was still no movement in the room.
Just when Liu Yu was about to continue knocking on the door, Xie Duyan had already dismounted and walked over, and whispered in his ear: "Shhh, didn't you hear, someone behind the door is slowly approaching!"
Liu Yu hurriedly took two steps back, for this amazing talent, he naturally had to make a very solemn gesture, so he hurriedly patted the falling snow on his body, straightened his clothes, folded his hands under his lower abdomen, and waited for Zhuge to open the door.
There was a creaking sound, a sharp sound from the door, and a crack in the door, first an eye peeking out from the inside, followed by a slight sound of the whole body against the door.
"Who are you?" asked the man behind the door.
The voice was crisp, and it sounded like a woman.
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "I am Liu Yu, the head of the Sword Sect, and I came to visit Mr. Zhuge . Dare to ask Mr. Zhuge if you are here, who are you in his family?"
Xie Duyan followed, took out a thin paper note from his sleeve, and handed it in through the crack in the door, "This is our greeting post, and I invite the girl to take a look!"
Behind the crack in the door, a hand took the prayer note handed by Xie Duyan, and the beads in the eye first turned down, probably reading the words on the prayer post, and after a while, he began to look out again, and his eyes moved up and down, wandering on Xie Duyan's body.
Even though the night was dark, Xie Duyan's figure still looked very graceful in the dim light, and his demeanor was far superior to that of ordinary people.
Bang!
The door of the thatched house suddenly opened, and the woman who had been hiding behind the door revealed her true face, holding an oil lamp with a flame the size of a bean grain in her left hand, and pinching the letter of worship handed over by Xie Duyan in her right hand.
By the light of the oil lamp, Liu Yu and Xie Duyan could clearly see that this was a woman of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with some yellow hair and two big braids combed back fluffy.
The girl has a pair of big watery eyes, which are sparkling, adding a lot of color to the whole person, but unfortunately the garlic nose in the center of her face spoils the scenery, and suddenly turns the wonderful person who should be a beautiful woman into an ordinary woman with only a slight appearance.
The girl crossed her waist and yelled fiercely at Liu Yu and Xie Duyan: "Don't think I don't know, you are here to propose marriage to Zhuge Poor! I can tell you, Zhuge Poor is mine, he has been married to me a long time ago, and no one else wants to take him away!"
Liu Yu heard her shouting, and originally thought that something bad was going to happen, but it wasn't until she finished talking that he laughed, "We came to discuss big things with Zhuge Qian, why did it become a marriage proposal?"
The girl's eyebrows furrowed, "A big thing, a big life event? That must be a marriage, is there anything bigger than this in this world?" She stretched out her hand and pointed at Xie Duyan, and said aggrievedly: "You guys have found such a beautiful woman in order to squeeze me." I'm not as beautiful as her, but I can tell you, Zhuge is the only one in his heart, and no one else wants to provoke him to look at him more!"
