The wheels turned and crushed the snow, making a squeaking sound.
The snow-white official road was deserted and desolate, with no trace of it.
Wang Can and others were traveling along the way, and there were two carriages. Wang Can rode alone in a carriage, Dianshi and Dianman rode in a carriage, and Dian Wei and Pei Yuanshao rode around, following the two carriages to protect Wang Can and others.
In order to ensure the safety of Can, Dianshi and Dianman, the group of people hurried non-stop and finally arrived at Xinye and entered the territory of Jingzhou.
Xinye, in the Three Kingdoms era, was undoubtedly a bright and dazzling star.
Invite Zhuge Liang three times and set fire to Xinye. These familiar things all happened in Xinye.
Not only that, Xinye's geographical location is also very important. It is on the north-south artery. It is close to Wancheng and Luoyang in the north, and borders Jingzhou and Xiangyang in the south. Moreover, Xinye is in the center of the Nanxiang Basin, with eight rivers converging, hundreds of miles of fertile fields, and fertile land. It
Not only is the geographical location important, but it is also a granary base, which is very important and is known as the "North-South Channel, Zhongzhou Barrier".
After entering Jingzhou, Gan Ning left with ten soldiers, returned to the river, and sent the news back.
Wang Can and others were left and drove to Xinye County.
"Ah sneeze!"
In the carriage, Noriman suddenly sneezed, and his childish face was turned red by the cold wind, which was really beautiful. Sitting next to Noriman, he saw that Noriman's face was flushed with cold.
, very distressed, stretched out his warm hands to hold Noriman's somewhat cold hands, with a loving look on his face.
Pei Yuanshao clamped his horse's belly tightly, shouted twice, rode his horse to the side of Wang Can's carriage, put his head close to the window of the carriage, and said softly: "My lord, the winter is in full swing now, and the air-conditioning is even worse after nightfall. Let's find it earlier."
We need a place to stay, so that we don’t have to sleep in the wilderness after dark and everyone will get cold.”
The two carriages were not far apart. Wang Can also heard the sound of Dianman sneezing and said: Lao Pei, there is a tiger protecting my safety, so don’t worry. You can immediately ride your horse to check the surrounding situation and see if there is anyone around.
A place to stay.”
"promise!"
Pei Yuanshao answered with clasped fists, then rode his horse towards the official road ahead.
Dian Wei was riding on his horse, looking at the direction where Pei Yuanshao was leaving, with gratitude in his eyes.
At this time, it was getting close to evening, and he could still continue on his way to Xinye County, but Dianman was young and couldn't bear the cold. Pei Yuanshao also heard Dianman sneezing in the carriage and couldn't stand the cold weather, so he took the initiative to ask for help.
Wang Can made suggestions. Fortunately, a group of people had already entered Jingzhou, so Wang Can could go on the road without any scruples, without worrying about Dong Zhuo's pursuit.
Entering Xinye was already within Liu Biao's sphere of influence.
When Wang Can entered Jingzhou, it could be said that he had already put on a protective film.
No matter what, Liu Biao did not dare to openly send people to attack and kill Wang Can, and Liu Biao also had to protect Wang Can's safety.
The reason is that Wang Can is the Yizhou Mu appointed by the imperial court, and the young emperor issued an order to recognize him. Liu Biao has always regarded himself as a royal clan member, and he behaves as if he is a loyal minister. If Liu Biao openly attacks Wang Can, it means that Liu Biao is disobedient to the imperial court.
Liu Biao did not dare to be disloyal to the Han Dynasty.
About half an hour later, Pei Yuanshao rode back. He raised his hands and said, "My lord, we found an abandoned inn ahead. Let's stay there."
From the carriage, Wang Can's voice came: "Well, hurry up, it will be difficult to travel after dark."
"promise!"
Pei Yuanshao agreed and asked the driver to speed up and drive towards the abandoned inn.
As we drove all the way, the sky gradually became dark. After nightfall, the cold wind howled, and heavy snow fell from the sky. Pieces of snowflakes fell on the ground, making the ground white. The carriage rolled on the road and ran past at a fast speed.
It was very fast, and it didn't take long before it stopped outside the inn.
Pei Yuanshao got off his horse and said, "My lord, we have arrived."
Wang Can hummed and got out of the carriage. In the carriage behind him, Dianshi and Dianman also got off the carriage and followed Wang Can towards the inn. However, at the door of the dilapidated house of the inn, there were two people wearing clothes standing at the door.
Armored soldier.
Two soldiers, wearing sabers at their waists, stood at the door with their heads held high, blocking the way in.
Wang Can asked: "Lao Pei, when you came to inquire about the situation, did you find anyone?"
Pei Yuanshao shook his head and said: "My lord, when I came here at the end, I didn't find anyone coming. These people should have just arrived at the inn and were resting there."
Wang Can nodded and said: "That's good. Since it is abandoned, you can discuss it and we can stay here for one night."
"promise!"
Pei Yuanshao strode forward, but saw two soldiers standing at the door suddenly pulling out their sabers from their waists. The two sabers crossed each other, blocking Pei Yuanshao's way, and said: "There are already people here. Go back and find another one."
A place to stay. Leave now or don’t blame us for hurting you.”
Pei Yuanshao said with a smile: "You two, we only need to stay for one night. Please go and report it."
The two soldiers shook their heads and said in unison: "No, you leave quickly and don't mess around here."
Pei Yuanshao's dark face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted: "I gave you face, but you didn't know what to do. In this case, don't blame me for being cruel and hurting both of you."
Inside the inn, a bonfire was burning, dispelling the cold air in the room.
In the abandoned house, two middle-aged men were sitting.
Among them, the middle-aged man sitting on the left is sitting upright, wearing a black cotton robe with a high crown. He has a Chinese character face, bright eyes, and the black bun on his head is meticulously combed.
The three long strands of beard under his chin are swaying slightly, and he has an extraordinary air while sitting in the room.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man sitting on the right is smiling and showing a kind smile.
He wore a brown robe and sat cross-legged. He did not have the serious expression of the middle-aged man on the left, but instead gave off a casual feeling, which made people feel very casual.
The sound coming from outside the house reached the ears of the middle-aged man on the left. He looked up at the middle-aged man sitting at the door of the house and ordered: "Han Sheng, there is a lot of noise outside the house. Go and see what is happening outside."
matter."
"promise!"
The middle-aged man has a humble expression, giving people a quite well-behaved look.
He stood up suddenly, reached out and picked up the big knife beside him, and walked out of the house.
The big knife in the middle-aged man's hand was nine feet long, nearly one foot long, and the blade was sharp, exuding a cold killing intent. The middle-aged man walked out with his head held high, picked up the big knife and walked out. He walked to the door, stood firm, and cut
The handle of the knife in his hand suddenly stood up on the ground and stuck into the ground with a bang.
In an instant, a powerful aura emanated from the middle-aged man, making Pei Yuanshao stunned.
Master!
This was Pei Yuanshao's first feeling. When he looked at the middle-aged man carefully, he saw that he was tall and sturdy, with a flash of light in his eyes and an imposing manner that made people dare not look down upon him.
The middle-aged man held a big knife and stood at the door of the house with his head held high. It was like a majestic mountain standing at the door, making it difficult for people to approach. The middle-aged man's eyes stayed on Pei Yuanshao and said: "Guys, two people are coming to the inn.
We are distinguished guests. We cannot disturb you. Please return."
The tone was very light, but there was an air of irresistibility.
Pei Yuanshao was confused and immediately became confused.
He first offered nice words, but was blocked by the soldiers. Now a person who could take charge came, but as soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, he turned him away, which made Pei Yuanshao angry.
He was heartbroken and shouted: "The road is facing the sky, and each side goes half way. The inn is abandoned and in disrepair, and no one lives there. An hour ago, when I came to investigate, there was no one there. Although you came first and stayed.
Entering the inn, but in such a big inn, travelers are not allowed to stay overnight. What is the reason? Get out of the way quickly."
The middle-aged man remained calm and continued: "No need to say more, please come back."
"Clang!"
Pei Yuanshao suddenly pulled out the Han sword from his waist and pointed it at the middle-aged man.
The atmosphere was full of gunpowder, the two sides were at war with each other, and there was a strong tendency to fight.
Wang Can saw the middle-aged man blocking the door and motionless, so he hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands and said: "This strong man, we are not many, there are only five of us. At this time, the sky is getting dark and it is difficult to travel. We will stay here for one night."
, we don’t need much space, so please make it convenient.”
The middle-aged man still shook his head and said calmly, "It's absolutely impossible. Please go back."
Seeing the middle-aged man's stubbornness, Wang Can felt angry in his heart.
Damn it, fight, right? Who is afraid of whom? There are Dian Wei and Pei Yuan Shao. Even though the middle-aged man standing at the door is very powerful, Dian Wei, the tiger, rushes forward and definitely has the upper hand. Wang Can took a deep breath and faced Dian Wei
He nodded and said: "Lao Pei, tiger, since others don't give us face, we will find face ourselves. You guys rush up and deal with them."
"promise!"
Dian Wei and Pei Yuanshao nodded, with ferocious smiles on their faces.
Seeing how arrogant the middle-aged man was, the two of them felt sullen in their hearts. Now that Wang Can gave the order, the two of them suddenly became excited.
Dian Wei took three steps and two steps at a time, quickly ran back to the carriage, took out two iron halberds from under the carriage, and prepared to fight. As for Pei Yuanshao, because the mace in his hand was too obvious when he fled Yingchuan, he did not take it back.
Dumped in Yingchuan, now I can only fight with Han sword.
The fight is about to break out.
