Chapter 497 The Seed Named Tanuki

The green mulberry leaves sway gently in the drizzle. Occasionally, raindrops swayed under the eaves. The simple shoes moved backwards. A woman stood in front of the door and looked into the distance. In the lead-green rain curtain, someone came to this side.

The mud and the water splashed in the running steps. The young man shouted happily at the waiting figure at the door: "Mother!" When he passed, the woman blamed him: "Where did you go..." Then, he pushed him to wipe the water stains on his face, and the voice eased: "Go back to the house and change your clothes, be careful to catch a cold."

"Yes." Guo Huai nodded and walked forward two steps. When he thought of something, he quickly retreated. On the road behind him, the old man holding a gun was slowly coming over. He said to his puzzled mother: "Mother, I met this old man on the way back. He was willing to teach him martial arts."

Guo’s mother looked down: “Do you tell the old man that the conditions in our family should not deceive others.”

"Haha...haha...this lady doesn't have to be so strict."

Before Guo Huai could speak, the muddy steps had already stepped onto the eaves. The old man, who was covered in moisture, stroking the gun to the ground, with a smile on his gray beard. He looked at the young man next to him and nodded: "The son spoke cheerful and intelligent, and he was a good seedling. I was the king of Beihe Guns, Han Rong, was also a famous general under Yuan Jizhou. How could he care about things outside his body? If he could take the son as his disciple, his life would be perfect."

The woman stared at the old man for a while. Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, the other party looked solemn and grey, with a gray-bearded and had a momentum, which was rare for ordinary people to cheat. She hesitated for a moment, stepped back and opened the side, and invited the old man in. Guo Huai ran into the house cheerfully, quickly changed his outfit, lifted the curtain, and came out. The old man was already sitting in the hall with his mother. He suppressed his steps and knelt straight beside his mother, listening to the two of them.

"I don't know when the son-in-law's father will come back. Since I have entered the Guo family's door, I will always meet the male owner of the family."

Guo's mother poured some warm water and handed it over: "There is a little cold at home and there is no alcohol." After the other party took it, she sat upright and continued: "My husband's family died early, and now only the orphans and widows are left to live. There are several families around here, all of whom are relatives at home."

"So that's it." Han Rong put down the warm water, stroked the water stains on his beard, looked up at the young man beside the woman, and sighed: "Earlier, I also had a disciple, but unfortunately, I was killed by the flying general Lu Bu in the battle of Jizhou. I also lost my way in that night battle. By chance, I came to Youzhou and met a son by chance. This was also due to fate. I didn't ask for gold, silver, brocade, and silk, just two meals a day."

"I heard from past vendors that some people said that Yuan Jizhou was defeated in Guandu..." Guo's mother subconsciously asked this question.

"Ha... Mrs. Guo actually likes to listen to these wars?" Han Rong replied to her, then nodded: "It's true, but I am an ordinary old man now. I just want to teach another disciple to inherit his legacy, so I have no other desires. What is the big thing in the world is not something we are worried about."

"What the old man said is, I'll ask sir for my son's affairs in the future."

"I think it's my husband who thanked his wife."

Han Rong stood up and bowed to the woman. He was fifty-six this year, and he would be sixty years old in a few years. It was almost impossible for the Jianghu Rangers to achieve success in the fight between the military formations, not to mention that he did not use military tactics and battle formations. He had already understood a lot on his way to Youzhou. After accepting Guo Huai as his closed disciple, he sat down in the simple courtyard of the Guo family, teaching the young people to practice some basic skills every day. After several days of progress, he gradually put a simple wielding method like sticks.

From time to time, he would take Guo Huai to the spacious area outside and wave his big gun to open the young man's eyes. On the seventh day, on the road outside the village, there were more and more figures. Occasionally, cavalrymen with bows and knives appeared in the surrounding people, and the peddler's vision soon disappeared from the end.

On the morning of August 12th, the sky was bright and the fields were green. The smoke and dust came from afar at the end of the road, and there was no flag. The violent shaking of horse hooves spread. The cavalry armor that passed by was covered with mottled marks of knife marks and guns. It made people feel at a glance what kind of tough battle this army had encountered.

The farmers in the fields, vendors hiding from both sides of the road, the caravan quickly lowered their heads. For such a cavalry, coupled with the news of Yuan Shao's defeat from Jizhou, it is not difficult to see that this is a soldier from the Wolf King of Northland. It is rumored that the other party killed people without blinking, and it is even more like giving birth to children every day...

"The consequences of the general's killing of Liu Yu and killing the Wei family seem to be very popular in the north. Suddenly, I feel that your reputation is even worse than that of the three surnames of a certain family."

On the back of the red rabbit, Lu Bu's always arrogant and disdainful person has obviously seen a lot of the reputation of being called in the past. The precipitation of several years in the past is not useless. He does not stingy with his jokes to Gongsun Zhi, who is much younger than him. However, then, his mighty figure curled his smile and looked serious: "In the future, if you want to step closer, you still have to start from here. Could it be that you have to fight with this reputation..."

"Can I make me bow to those aristocratic families?"

On the black horse, his eyes retracted from the figures of the old and the young in the distance. Gongsun Zhi pointed to the other party, "Wen Hou killed the governor and killed a prime minister." Then, he pointed to a middle-aged scholar not far behind him, "This one also killed an emperor. I will kill Liu Yu and slaughter the Wei family is nothing."

Li Ru bowed awkwardly.

Among the people who have no knowledge of the truth, it is true that royal relatives are very evil in aristocratic families, but almost all of them are like this. Do wolves still need to cleanse their reputation?

"How to go next? Whether there is a road or not, it doesn't matter." Gongsun Zhi held the reins, and his body, who had been fighting for many years, had a heroic momentum. He raised his hand and pointed ahead, "There is no road, so kill one. Whoever stands in front will kill the other party. The bloody road is also a road, and I don't believe that my mouth can be harder than a knife."

Although many subordinates died in Guandu, they were all elites from the North, but in his life, even in all his commanders, they were almost fanatical and burned with excitement. Even if there were 200,000 enemies ahead, they had enough faith to kill the other party in front of the formation.

After all, two hundred thousand people fell in front of them...

The distant countryside went to the rear from sight, and the forward team had already stepped into the boundary of Lu County, Youzhou, and then turned west to reach Changping, and met with Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Xu, Tian Kai and others there, then retreated into Juyongguan and returned to Shanggu County.

"It's great to be young." Lu Bu smiled on the horse's back and responded to the words of the wolf king. His words paused and looked towards Lu County. "The next step is what is the governor's plan? Jizhou is rich, but unfortunately it's too far away, so he has an advantage as much as Cao Cao. At present, he can only attack You and the two states, at least it's too barren compared to the other two states."

Gongsun Zhi looked ahead, his eyes trembled slightly as the horse's back undulated. He nodded: "The only step he can take at the moment is indeed these."

"...But Mr. Wen, don't forget that Cao Cao's eldest son is still working under my command. No one will change in the future. What if the two families become one?"

He turned his head calmly to look at Lu Bu. Lu Bu frowned. Although he had changed, he was a little disliked by this way of concealing his words. Gongsun Zhi turned slightly and looked at the scholar behind him, "Let Wenyou explain it to Wenhou, I'll go ahead and take a look."

After leaving with a whip and slapped the horse, Li Rupu immediately walked forward and walked side by side with Lu Bu. While walking, he whispered: "Did Mr. Wen forget the fake Zhen Mi next to Yuan Xi? Although Ru didn't know why the lord suddenly took this move secretly, it should be a move to the Cao family. After all, Yuan Shao has been defeated, and his three sons have gaps. The defeat is also a matter of time. There is no need to spend more time on doing anything extra."

The middle-aged scholar stroked his beard, looked at the sky light, and whispered: "...It should be a move that fell on the Cao family, and this conspiracy is a little unsightly."

Listening to Li Ru's doubts, Lu Bu was in a little confused.

In mid-August, the victorious wolf cavalry of the Northland and Youyan infantry returned to Changping on their way back to Changping and defeated the twenty army of Yuan Shao in Jizhou. The news of Yuan Shao's death continued to ferment and spread to farther away from all sides. However, in the northern Liaoxi grassland, it seemed a little slow to see such news.
