Chapter 481: Reducing Military Power(1/2)
"Second brother, are you feeling better?"
In the early morning, Zhang Fei walked into the small courtyard of Guan Yu's home carrying two large pig legs, and saw him making tea and drinking alone in the courtyard.
Guan Yu was holding a book "Spring and Autumn" in his hand and was reading it with gusto. Hearing this, he squinted his eyes and frowned: "Why are you bringing food here again?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Sister asked me to deliver it. She said she would make soup for Brother Zhou to replenish his vitality."
When Guan Yu heard this, he nodded slightly.
He didn't care, but the little brother who was rescued needed to be replenished because he was bleeding too much.
The two men who followed Zhou Cang up the mountain to hunt were already completely cold by the time they found him.
According to Zhou Cang's wishes, Guan Yu buried the two men directly in the mountain. There was no monument or tomb, only a small mound.
As for Zhou Cang, it is said that he has neither father nor mother, so if you want to follow him, just follow him.
Now Guan Yu is Lu Bu's most respected artillery general. As his team continues to grow, it is time to be short of men.
Zhang Fei handed the pig leg to the maid who was cleaning it, and then sat down in front of Guan Yu.
"Second brother, the injury on your hand is okay, right?"
Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu's gauze-wrapped palm. He had seen with his own eyes that day that the bones of his fingers had pierced the flesh and blood.
When Guan Yu heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. Doctor Hua said that you can rest for a hundred days, and the Chinese New Year will be over."
Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Artillery operation requires the word "stable". If Guan Yu left any sequelae, he might be in trouble in the future. Fortunately, it was not serious.
"That's good. You said you are serious about it. You just save people when you save them, and you almost risked your own future."
Listening to Zhang Fei's scolding, Guan Yu felt warm in his heart, knowing that this boy was caring about him.
"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just felt that the bear's wounds were nothing. I just didn't use the force of the last knife and stabbed the beast's spine. Fortunately, it was just a little flesh wound."
Zhang Fei chuckled, took out a "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" from his arms, and said: "Second brother said it easily, that Xiong Zan is the king of the mountain in that area, good guy, seven or eight men have lost their strength.
Then I carried it back to the city."
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, glanced sideways, and couldn't help but be attracted by the cover of this issue.
Just because the illustration on this cover depicts none other than Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, and of course, the huge bear.
Guan Yu's old face turned red. Others were on the "hot search" because of their military exploits. But he was on the hot search list after killing a bear.
Zhang Fei saw this and said with a smile: "Just now, what I heard most along the way was my second brother's talk about hunting bears. Everyone said that my second brother was great. If he hadn't been injured, he might have won the first prize in this year's martial arts competition.
.”
Guan Yu twisted his beard and replied: "It's just killing a bear, it's nothing. Passers-by have no experience, don't you understand? Not to mention others, even if you face this bear, you can catch it with ease."
Zhang Fei laughed and said modestly: "That's not necessarily true. I don't know about others, but I definitely can't beat the second brother. I guess I'm about 50-50 with this bear."
"Third brother is humbled."
Guan Yu chuckled lightly, and then asked: "Tell me, come here so early, you are not really giving me pig legs, are you?"
When Zhang Fei heard this, the smile on his face instantly faded.
There was silence for a while.
Zhang Fei then said: "Second brother, I heard from my sister that Du Liniang is already two months pregnant."
Guan Yu was startled when he heard this, and the "Spring and Autumn Period" in his hand clattered to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly bent down to pick it up and put it aside. He looked up at Guan Yu and found that his second brother's face was gloomy and ugly.
Hesitate for a moment.
Zhang Fei persuaded: "Second brother, what's the problem for a real man without a wife? Not to mention that Du Liniang is married to a married woman. It's the wealthy people and officials in this city. As long as the second brother lets out the word, all the ladies will line up to get you."
It’s time to pick.”
Guan Yufeng raised his eyes and looked at the clear sky. The warm winter sun shone on his body, but he seemed not to feel the slightest warmth.
There was silence for a while.
Guan Yu said faintly: "After the New Year, I'm already thirty-one, that's all, that's all..."
Zhang Fei opened his mouth, wanting to comfort him.
Guan Yu raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "Actually, I had a wife and a son in my early years, but because I committed a crime by killing someone, I was afraid that I would implicate them, so I have not returned to Jie County to find my relatives in these years."
When Zhang Fei heard this, he frowned and said, "Jie County, isn't it within the borders of Hedong? Why don't you go and look for it?"
Guan Yu shook his head and explained: "Who says I haven't looked for it? When I followed my elder brother to recruit soldiers and horses, I also looked for him. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone after searching. I heard from the neighbors that not long after I left, they
The couple also left the county and their whereabouts are still unknown."
Zhang Fei's expression calmed down. It was not easy to find someone in this era. If he missed it, it would probably be a lifetime thing.
Seeing his disappointed look, Guan Yu suddenly laughed.
Zhang Fei looked puzzled.
Guan Yu picked up the "Great Han Dragon and Tiger List" on the table and said: "I didn't have any method before, but I just remembered it today. Maybe this thing can help me."
When Zhang Fei heard this, he was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, second brother can publish a missing person notice!"
Guan Yu smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
···
the other side.
I just moved into the Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Feng was training his arm strength in the yard with a spear in his hand, while a beautiful woman stood by the porch and watched quietly.
A few rays of warm sunlight filtered in through the mats in front of the porch, reflecting in the girl's bright eyes and Zhao Feng's rock-like figure.
After a long time.
Zhao Feng finished his work and stood still. Seeing this, the girl hurriedly gave him a scarf to wipe off the sweat on his body.
"I'll do it myself." Zhao Feng wasn't used to being served like this, so he reached out to get a towel.
Unexpectedly, the woman cleverly avoided it, smiled and leaned forward, and said gently: "Let me do it."
Zhao Feng nodded helplessly and accepted it with peace of mind.
"Isn't that kid Zilong up?"
"My uncle drank a lot last night, let him sleep a little longer."
While wiping out the sweat stains on the towel, the girl motioned to the maid behind her to quickly deliver some warming decoction.
After Zhao Feng finished the drink, he frowned and said: "Zilong is not young anymore. A few days ago, Ma and Fan both revealed their thoughts on getting married. Now that you are my wife, Mrs. Zhao, you have to do these things."
Just worry more."
When the girl heard this, her cheeks turned slightly red, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, husband, I will go back and inquire about the tutors of the two sisters."
Zhao Feng said "hmm" with satisfaction.
Peng!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the backyard.
Zhao Feng's expression changed, he picked up his spear and rushed toward the backyard.
But before he could run very far, he heard a heroic voice: "Zhao Zilong, if you dare to betray me, I will kill you first and then die in front of you."
Zhao Feng paused in his steps and stood at the gate of Xiyuan with a black line on his face. He could neither enter nor retreat for a moment.
Not long after, I saw Zhao Yun running out of the house in a panic wearing a long gown.
Behind him was a woman wearing a green coat and holding two swords.
If not Ma Yunlu, Ma Teng’s daughter, who else?
"Ma Yunlu, are you crazy? I was sleeping well. How dare you, a woman waiting to be married, sneak into the residence of a man like me?"
Zhao Yun stepped on the snow with his bare feet, and he shivered from the cold. He only had a single coat on him, and even though he was wrapped tightly, he still felt cold.
Ma Yunlu frowned coldly and asked angrily: "Tell me, are you going to marry the young lady of the Fan family?"
Zhao Yun drank a lot of wine last night, rubbed his temples, frowned and said: "What the hell, Miss Fan, what are you talking about?"
Ma Yunlu thought he was pretending to be stupid, so he rushed towards him with his two swords.
"Pretend, I asked you to pretend, Zhao Zilong, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You promised not to marry anyone but me."
Ma Yunlu learned from his father and brother, and danced like a tiger with two swords in one hand. Although the swords were sharp, they cleverly avoided Zhao Yun's vital points.
Zhao Zilong hid for a few steps, and finally stood straight on the spot, letting Ma Yunlu slash him.
Zhao Feng, who was outside the courtyard gate, saw this and hurriedly went to rescue him, but a pair of jade hands behind him held him back.
"Husband, wait a moment."
Zhao Feng was blocked like this and it was too late to save him. He looked anxiously at Ma Yunlu's double swords that were slashing at his younger brother.
Then, in the next scene, Zhao Feng, a tough guy, was defeated.
