Xiangyang Inn

Lu Bei settled the accounts, carried the [Jinse] guqin on his back, carried a long sword, rode a green horse, lightly took the reins of the horse, and went out of the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ancient roads, autumn winds, thin horses.

Lubei rode the horse official road, went to Yueyang, 600 miles away, and planned to board a big boat from Yueyang to cross the vast Yunmeng Daze and sail into Xiangshui.

This part of the land journey is extremely long, and it is not known how long and what month it will be when you only walk on two feet, so it is very necessary to prepare horses for transportation.

As for why not take a boat directly from Xiangyang, I want to come to the convenience of the waterway, and it only takes half a month to go straight to Xiangshui.

Gaine, Lu Bei felt that if he had to, he would try not to walk along the waterway. Even if he had a choice, Lu Bei did not plan to cross Dongting Lake.

There is little gossip, Lubei all the way to Xiaoxing and sleeps overnight, and the wind and dust are served.

Before I knew it, I had been walking for more than ten days.

Let's say that at dusk on this day, in a high mountain range.

At this time, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the autumn fog is getting thicker.

The maple leaves all over the mountains are as red as the sunset.

Lu Bei sat down lightly, put his palm between his eyebrows, set up a pergola, and looked vaguely into the distance.

It is found that the mountain road is rugged, the grass is green, the branches are crazy, and between the peaks of the mountains, there may be one or two gulls and herons cried and chirped, setting off the valley to become more and more quiet and ancient.

Lu Bei took a kettle from the saddle, raised his head and poured a few mouthfuls of water, rolled up his sleeves, and rubbed the beads of sweat between his forehead and eyebrows.

At this time, there was a faint panicked cry for help in my ears.

Lu Beiduan sat on a horse, holding a sword and looking over, only five or six zhang away in the distance, a white-faced scholar wearing a Xiushi Confucian shirt had a frightened look on his face at this time.

The man rolled and climbed, and rolled down the thorny mountain road with his hands and feet.

The long-sleeved shirt was cut into strips of cloth by tree branches, and blood marks on his arms faintly appeared.

The white-faced scholar didn't care about crying out for pain, raised his footsteps, and ran away again, and suddenly his body staggered, but he tripped over a dead branch in the mountain, and suddenly crawled in the barren grass.

At this time, the howling sound shook the mountains and forests, and the leaves were rustled by the wind, and the smoke and dust filled the air.

A colorful tiger, with a bloody mouth and hideous fangs, pounced on the scholar with a gust of fishy wind.

The scholar's eyes were frightened, and he shouted, "My life is at stake." ”

Lu Bei saw this scene early, jumped up from his horse, took two or three more steps, drew his sword, and slashed down at the tiger's head from the air.

"Evil animals, Hugh hurts. ”

This big insect was extremely alert, seeing a cold light coming in the air, with an unstoppable killing machine, a handful of white hairs on its neck, the roots stood up, and a huge patterned tiger head shrank to the side in the air.

landed a few rolls, and a roar that shook the mountains and forests sounded again.

Blood fell in dots, staining a large patch of grass red.

This tiger was finally cut off by Lu Bei.

After the eye-catching tiger was injured, it was ferocious.

However, due to the instinct of the beast, he was afraid of the killing aura of the enemy in front of him.

A pair of tiger eyes are blood-red, his mouth is wide open, he tiptoes back and forth, and his body twists, as if he is observing the flaws in the landing north.

Lu Bei's eyes froze, took a step forward, blocked in front of the white-faced scholar, and confronted the tiger with his sword.

At this time, the white-faced scholar saw a tall green-shirted figure standing in front of him, holding a long sword in his right hand.

His eyes showed joy, and he said happily: "Liu Yi thanks the strong man for saving his life." ”

Lu Bei heard this white-faced scholar call himself Liu Yi, his expression moved slightly, and for some reason, his spirit was in a trance.

The eyebrows were cool, the trance-like feeling was gone, and Lu Bei's eyes were sharp.

The heart is again this familiar trance.

At this time, the colorful tiger looked at Lu Bei's stunned kung fu, and pounced on Lu Bei with its sharp claws.

Lu Bei's sword light rose again, not retreating, but advancing, and the sharp sword light of the Chixiao Sword stabbed towards the tiger's open bloody mouth.

Seeing Lu Bei's sword light, the tiger knew that the comer was not good, so he had to repeat the old trick and dodge the past.

The waist twisted, and the huge figure jumped to the side.

Lu Bei's gaze was even more cold, his body advanced rapidly, and the sword light turned sharply, faster than the speed of Fang Cai's stab, and the half-moon-shaped sword light slashed out.

"Poof. ”

The sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh sounded.

Blood splattered out, and a large hole was cut under the tiger's neck.

The tiger leapt into the grass, bloodied and roaring with rage.

Lu Bei took advantage of the situation to pursue, jumped up, and slashed down with Lian Guanghua, a huge tiger head, bloody and flying three feet, turning around in the air a few times, and finally falling into the grass.

"Rubbing ......"

Lu Bei returned the sword into the sheath, turned around and walked towards the frightened Liu Yi.

Qingsheng said: "Brother Liu, it's okay." ”

Liu Yi saw the comer in a blink of an eye, and saw a young man in a green shirt who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate eyebrows and an indifferent expression, walking slowly towards him while asking questions.

Liu Yi didn't expect that the life-saving benefactor in front of him was so young, and his eyes were extremely surprised, but he quickly calmed down.

He said with gratitude: "Thank you for saving the strong man, and I haven't asked the strong man's surname yet." ”

Lu Bei helped Liu Yi up with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's just the right time for his meeting, in Lubei, Xiayuyang." ”

Liu Yi stood up, neither patting the grass clippings sticking to his body nor checking the injuries on his arms.

Instead, he reached into his arms, took out a delicate envelope, put it in his palm, looked at it carefully, and after finding that it was not damaged, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and cherished it into his arms.

"It's okay. ”

Liu Yi muttered to himself with a look of happiness on his face.

Lu Bei's gaze shrank.

A certain guess in my mind magnified little by little.

said quietly: "I don't know where Brother Liu came from, why he was traveling alone in the deep mountains." ”

Liu Yi thought for a while and said frankly: "So that the benefactor can know that Liu is from the northern Wei State, and he was entrusted to go to the south to find people, but he was exhausted, and he couldn't sit on a big boat, so he could only travel by land." ”

Lu Bei knew in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Entrusted by someone?"

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, turned his eyes to the headless tiger corpse on the grass, and explained: "Liu took a letter and went to Dongting Lake to find Dongting Longjun. ”

"Dongting Dragon Monarch? As far as Lu knows, Dongting Dragon Monarch rules over a side of water, how can Brother Liu intersect with such gods. Lu Bei asked.

When Liu Yi heard Lu Bei's words, he sighed and said: "Don't hide it from your benefactor, Liu met the third princess of the Longjun family in Jinghe, and at her request, she handed over a brocade book to her father. ”

Saying that, Liu Yi no longer hid it and explained the details to Lu Bei.

It turned out that Liu Yi lived in Yiyang County of the Northern Wei Dynasty and went to the capital of Fufeng County to take the exam, and he didn't want to meet a shepherd's daughter crying sadly on the bank of the Jing River.

Under questioning, it was learned that she was the third mother of the Dongting Dragon Girl, who was sent by the Dongting Dragon Jun to marry Jinghe Xiaolong, and then suffered from her husband in every way after marriage.

Liu Yi's compassion rose, coupled with the dragon girl's sad pleading, so he sent a letter to the dragon girl, planning to enter Jingxiang to ask to see Dongting Longjun.

After listening to Liu Yi's story, Lu Bei said in his heart, it seems that the scholar in front of him is indeed the Liu Yi in Liu Yi's story.
