"Hock it, hoof it"

From Gushi to Shangcai, there were five hundred cavalry running. The leader of the Zhao family was wearing a crown, robe, a high crown, but a long sword hung on his waist. It was Zhao Yu, the head of the Zhao family. The autumn trees on both sides were green, and the birds flew away from the clumps, sometimes circling on the branches, and sometimes flying in the array, with a unique style of the Northern Region.

If it were the case, he would have stopped to sing and chant, but now he has no intention of scenery and is only concerned about rushing to the road. Since Liu Nong wrote to him, Gushi County has already released the cavalry and collected the people of the yard. However, even so, he was still worried. Therefore, he went straight into Shangcai early in the morning, intending to find Liu Nong to find out what was going on.

Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Yu's long sword on his waist, with envious eyes, but he made fun of him: "I heard that Liu Weilu had a sword named Chu Shang, and his eldest brother named the sword: Hanque. In my opinion, he would not give in to each other!"

Zhao Yu's face turned red, he touched his waist sword, and smiled and said, "Liu Weilu is a hero of the age, how dare Zhao Yu compare with him? Don't covet this sword, and wait for the future. I will ask Liu Weilu for another one and give it to you."

Zhao Yanxi said: "Brother, do you think this is true?"

"Naturally, it's true!"

Zhao Yu tightened the sword on his waist, and when he was happy, his expression slightly relaxed. This sword was given to him by Liu Nong, and it was as sharp as mud. Liu Nong was happy to travel with a robe and sword, with a handsome expression and heroic expression. For a moment, he imitated it for the Zhao family's children, and almost everyone wore a robe and a sword.

As soon as I walked out of the woods, a hill appeared in front of me, and a seven-meter-high sentry stood in the grass.

"Woo"

As the horn spread from afar, Zhao Yu stepped forward and shouted loudly towards the post: "Don't be shocked by the post, Gushi Zhao Yu greeted Liu Weilu."

The white robe on the post made a detailed argument, his expression relaxed, and he kept ringing with the horn three times. Then, he put down the torch that he wanted to ignite and smiled and said, "Zhao Fujun, my little husband was here yesterday. I said that he would go to Gushi to gather with him soon, but Zhao Fujun arrived first."

"Haha, the white robe is in line with the wind and the people are still very hardworking. Zhao Yu has two jars of poor wine and three bundles of jerky, and placed them under the post. Later, he will be laid off and taken care of himself!"

Zhao Yu laughed loudly, ordered people to place wine and meat, and led the army into Shangcai.

As soon as I entered Shangcai, I felt different. The young and strong people in the village were all carrying weapons, and they were patrolling Zhao Yu and others with cautious eyes. In the wide county road, horse hooves rolled, and hundreds of white robes ran from afar.

Zhao Yu slapped his horse to meet him, bowed to the cavalry, and said, "Zhao Yu, have you seen the county magistrate of Qu, can Liu Weilu be in the city?"

Qu Ping came to hold the spear and said, "General is in the city, please follow me."

Zhao Yu followed Quping along the road until the foot of the county town, but saw a battalion of conducting activities at the foot of the peak, and the swords were coming and going, without hearing the sound of shouting and killing, but it was chilling. It was the Panshi Guard under Du Wu's command.

After watching the performance for a while, Zhao Yan's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, shook his head at him and secretly ordered him. Then, thousands of troops crawled up, entered the city and entered the inner city. The guards were tightly guarded along the way, and the iron armored swords of patrolling the city could be seen everywhere. Although it was not three steps per whistle or five steps per post, it seemed to be different.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu felt uneasy and his brows became tighter and tighter. He hurried to the county office with his soldiers in the east of the city.

Once he stepped into the county office, the atmosphere changed. There was no such thing as the gate of the county office, there were a few orioles and swallows laying paper orioles, and Zhao Yu knew them.

The one who is about 12 or 3 years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, wearing a coarse dress, radiating behind her back, with her black hair hanging down to her legs bent, was the daughter of Xue Gong, the one who is about 16 or 17 years old, and the one who is graceful and graceful and charming in the radish skirt is Liu Weilu’s maid Zhi Su, who is almost the same age as Xiao Heiya, and her eyes are very lively. The most cherry lips are slightly raised even if they don’t smile.

"Ah, I'm going to fly"

Because the wind was so strong that the three women put a paper warbler together, so the three women were pulling each other, and I pulled each other, making the paper warbler tilted around and saw that it was about to fly away. Suddenly, the woman with a slightly raised mouth trembled hard, and then she heard a "puff" sound, and the paper warbler's thread broke.

"Black carbon head!!"

"Swoosh!"

Accompanied by the woman's slightly raised mouth, a white shadow jumped down from the wall about a meter high, and pulled towards the end of the paper warbler in the air. Her figure fell down very lightly, and her hands kept wrapping around the thread, pulling back the paper warbler, holding it, walked to the woman, rubbing a snake's hair, and smiled: "Luo Yu, give it!"

"Hmph, the thread is all tied, how can I put it again!" Luo Yu took the Paper Warbler and raised his mouth higher.

At this time, Xiao Heiya saw Zhao Yu who was stunned by the side. She raised her eyebrows, cut her eyes twice, pulled Zhisu beside her, and then held her hand to Zhao Yuqian Qianfu, and said in a soft voice: "Heiya, I have seen Zhao Fujun." After saying that, the blessings had not yet risen, and the long eyelashes were swishing.

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows, smiled indifferently, took something out of his arms, handed it over, and said with a smile: "This is an embroidered hairpin, and Xiao Madam Xue is wearing it, just right!"

Xiao Heiya glanced at the hairpin, pouted her mouth, and slowly got up. Without looking at Zhao Yu, she threw a faint sentence: "Heiya is ashamed of the things of Zhao's family. My father said that only when he reciprocates the courtesy, he can last for a long time. If Heiya gives me a gift, there is no gift for her!" As he said that, he shook the things in his hand.

It was a snow-talk flower hairpin, which made Zhao Yu's eyes flash.

"Puff"

"Pretty"

With endless laughter, Zhao Yu's face turned red. He put the hairpin in his hand into his arms, but his heart was inexplicably relaxed. He smiled at the three chattering little swallows, and then led Zhao Yan to the office.

Zhao Yan endured it for a long time and suddenly said, "Brother, who is Liu Weilu? Under his rule, he was full of swords and armor, but there were laughter and singing. If he had compared it with Gushi, he would have felt that he would have been there for two lifetimes."

Zhao Yu paused, frowned and thought for a while, and replied, "Brother, this was the case in Yuzhou more than ten years ago. Liu Weilu is a real famous scholar. Only by raising troops and armor outside can the people stay in peace. If the people are safe, they can return to normal, and the fields will hear singing. Herders should do this."

While speaking, the two came to the backyard of the office, and a row of soldiers guarded here.

Zhao Yu was about to go forward to report, but saw a person walking out of the west courtyard. The person who came seemed to have not seen Zhao Yu and Zhao Yan, walked straight to the east courtyard. When he passed by the two, he raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, and walked even faster. He did not report to the entrance of the courtyard, but the soldiers all closed their heads with a respectful expression.

"call"

Zhao Yu shook his head and couldn't help but breathe.

Zhao Yan's eyes chased her waist and sword, narrowing and thinner, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yingchuan Xun family, Xun Guanniang, is a strange woman. In the past, this girl was fourteen years old and traveled thousands of miles to save her father! Monthly ago, she took hundreds of horses and stepped onto Cai Hexi, and forced Zhang Man to embark on the head to welcome her. We are not as good as us! But why did she live in Cai instead of Xiangyang, or Yingchuan? Could it be that she was with Liu Weihuo?"

"Brother Yan, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Yu was shocked and quickly stopped his brother.

But it was too late. The red shadow on the entrance of the courtyard shook, and Madam Xun, who was wearing a red cloak on his shoulder, returned. Her pink face was frosty, and her eyes were covered with sharp edges. Without saying a word, she slowly pulled out the gorgeous long sword from her waist, walked step by step to the two of them, raised the sword, and pointed the sword at Zhao Yu: "Who are you?"

Zhao Yu was very embarrassed. If we talk about family background, the Xun family in Yingchuan and the Zhao family in the common people were not separated from the world. Although Mrs. Xun knew the question, he had to bow deeply and said politely: "Zhao Yu, I have met Mrs. Xun! I just now, my brother was incompetent, so I would like to forgive me!"

Madam Xun's expression remained unchanged and raised her sword to point at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was stunned by him, and suddenly turned red on his face and bowed, "Gushi, Zhao Yan, have seen it."

"Swish!"

The light flashed, and Zhao Yan felt a lighter on his head. Then, something rolled down from his neck, falling from his "simple" to the bluestone slab. He couldn't help but look down and saw it was a half-twist crown.

"If you say a little nonsense, what Guan Niang takes is not your crown, but your head!" Madam Xun said lightly, turned around silently, put the gorgeous long sword back into the sheath, and slowly walked into the yard.

The soldiers at the gate of the courtyard had their eyebrows pounding and tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Zhao Yan held up his head crown blankly, his face turned red and green. Zhao Yu patted his shoulder and whispered a few words. Zhao Yan's expression changed suddenly, he nodded seriously and said in a deep voice: "What the eldest brother said is very true. As a young girl from a high-ranking family, how can you dance a knife?"

"Brother Yan!" Zhao Yu shouted softly.

"Big Brother"

Zhao Yan raised his head, looking aggrieved, but he secretly glanced at the door. Seeing that there was no red shadow flying again, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Xun family in Yingchuan had retreated to Jiangdong, half lived in Xiangyang and half entered Jiankang, they still had their children guarding Yingchuan to observe the situation. Xun Guanniang's younger brother Xun Rui was an official in Yingchuan. Now there is no county magistrate in Yingchuan, but the Xun family is the only one who is the only one who is strong or respected in the north. The Xun family still has three thousand tribes in Yingchuan, and their roots are deep and far beyond the Zhao family.

Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly, patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yan, don't speak anymore, and follow me to pay homage to Liu Weilu."

"Yes, brother." This was the first time Zhao Yanshang came to Cai with Zhao Yu. He was shocked by Shangcai's military power first, then stunned by Shangcai's folk style, and then stunned by Xun's heroic posture, and his expression suddenly seemed lonely.

Because Madam Xun was interrupted just now, the Sage Jia forgot to report inward.

The two entered the yard, and Zhao Yan saw an old locust tree inside at a glance.

Under the tree, there are white reed mats and ebony tables.

There was a chessboard on the table, one man and one woman were playing chess. The two of them served each of them. Zhao Yan, the maid next to the woman, did not recognize him. Zhao Yan, the maid next to the man, had seen him, and was Hong Xiao, one of the strange women in Shangcai Army. There were three women in Shangcai Army, all of whom were not ordinary people, Xun Guanniang, Hong Xiao, and Kong Zhen.

The man was wearing a slender arrow robe, with his sword eyebrows as sharp as a sharp edge, and his eyes as clear as a lake. When it opened and closed, people dared not look directly at him. It was Shangcai's Lord, the inner official of Runan, the general of the powerful captives, Liu Nong, and Liu Zhanrui.

The woman sat with her back facing away from her, wearing a fallen horse bun, covered in snow gauze, and had no face. Her figure was enough to be unforgettable.

"cough!!"

At this time, the eldest brother coughed heavily, interrupting Zhao Yan's gaze and thoughts, and also disturbing the person playing chess.

"Zhao Yu, I have met Liu Weilu."

"Zhao Yan, I have met Liu Weilu."

The two brothers of Zhao bowed deeply together. Zhao Yu glanced at Liu Nong, but he didn't look at Qiao Yousi, but knew who this woman was. He took a step aside and blocked Zhao Yan's gaze and bowed again in a deep voice: "Zhao Yu did not know that Liu Weilu was playing chess in the courtyard, so he was reckless and rude, so please don't blame him!"

"Bang!"

Liu Nong frowned and then smiled slightly, pressed the chess piece in his hand, and smiled at Qiao Yousi, "You Si, if you talk about chess skills, Shang Cai Weixun's wife can compete. Liu Nong is not as good as that!"

After saying that, he brushed his robe and nodded to Miss Xun, signaling Miss Xun to Qiao Yousi Xun to chess. Miss Xun raised the corner of her mouth.

Qiao Yousi smiled slightly, picked up a piece and entered the pot, and said softly: "If Madam Xun doesn't like You Si's chess skills, she might as well go inside to continue the game."

Seeing that he was not in the same hall, Madam Xun frowned and looked at the Zhao brothers. He knew that Qiao Yousi didn't want to meet irrelevant people. He immediately walked to the side room with Qiao Yousi and said as he walked: "Yousi, the East Courtyard is cramped, not as spacious as the West Courtyard, but not as moving to the West Courtyard with Guan Niang. In the future, you and my sisters will also be able to talk to the moon all night."

"Puchi" Qingyan chuckled.

Zhao Yu and Zhao Yan's expression changed from time to time. Liu Nong paused for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged. He quickly walked towards the Zhao brothers and replied, "Liu and Zhao are in harmony, so why is Zhao Langjun too polite? If you say something is rude, you should be with Liu Nong. Let's enter and continue."

At this moment, the three of them entered the main room.

Zhao Yu had something to do in his heart, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Weilu, the war in the north has begun, and I don't know if Zu Yuzhou can win this time. If he loses, if he defends Huainan, Runan and Ruyin last year, he may be harmed by the cavalry!"

Liu Nong picked up the tea bowl, drank it slowly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, this battle is a conspiracy between Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Shi Le has been trapped in internal trouble for a long time, how can he be like the past?"

When Zhao Yu saw Liu Nong calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he was worried, he felt aroused. He smiled and said, "At that time, even if there is any loss, if Liu Wei is present, Zhao Yu is willing to be the queen of the horse! Since the recovery of Yuzhou, even though Zu Yuzhou occasionally suffered a defeat, Shi Le also sent cavalry to plunder Ruyin and other counties, he did not dare to go deeper. From this we can see that Shi Le was afraid of Zu Yuzhou!" After a pause, he looked at Liu Nong deeply, and his voice was a little hoarse: "If Shangcai and Gushi were leaning against each other, it would be difficult to break without a thousand troops!"

There was a sound in the words, Liu Nong raised his sword eyebrows, and his thoughts flashed instantly. He knew why it was coming. He felt relieved in his heart, bowed to Zhao Yu, and smiled and said, "Jun Zhao's family is just lenient. Liu Nong is definitely not a person who abandons the people and fled! Shangcai and Gushi should be one and one heart!"

"What a wonderful thing!!"

Zhao Yu's expression was immediately overjoyed, and his worries were dispersed for a while. As he said, as long as Liu Nong's army was in Shangcai, the two sides planned to share an enemy together, Shi Le could still say he could defend him even if he sent thousands of troops to come. If he only had a cavalry, he should not be afraid!

"Langjun"

At this time, Guo Pu stepped into the yard quickly and walked straight into the room. His head tilted, and when he saw the Zhao brothers, he was slightly stunned. Then he frowned, slowed down without a trace, and slowly walked in, bowed and said, "Mr., I have a letter!"

Liu Nong took the letter and read it quickly, his eyebrows frowned and to be continued.
