The inn clerk held a broom in his hand, walked out of the door, and began to clean the road in front of the inn. This clerk was not young, and he was the only one in the entire inn. There are different inns everywhere, like where Hua Xiong lives now.
There is a relatively small post station with only one petty official. However, although it is small in scale, it has everything you need. After all, this is a two thousand stone post station and only receives officials with more than two thousand stone.
The clerk looked at the dazzling sunlight in the sky and complained about something. He lowered his head and swept the ground. Suddenly, the sunlight disappeared, and the black shadow blocked the sunlight. The clerk raised his head in surprise. I don't know why.
At that moment, an extremely burly man stood in front of him. The junior official had also seen burly men like Hua Xiong, but he had never seen such a tall man.
That height was completely two heads higher than the junior official. The junior official was not short either, but standing in front of this person, he looked very thin. His arms were as thick as his thighs. The junior official looked at the official uniform he was wearing.
, quickly put down the broom, bowed to the man, and said: "Meet the general!" The pressure brought by this man was still very great. The person who came was Guan Yu. Guan Yu looked at the little official in front of him and asked gently
He said, "Is Hua Xiong here?"
The clerk looked at this frightening general, nodded, and said, "Mr. Hua is here, do you want me to report it?"
Guan Yu shook his head and said: "No need, I will go in by myself, thank you!" The clerk was a little frightened and quickly avoided Guan Yu's salute. Looking at the tall general who walked into the house, the clerk's face was full of smiles.
I thought that this general looked so majestic, so peaceful and kind to others, he was really a good person.
Hua Xiong was sitting in the courtyard, his expression dull, and he had lost his former majesty.
When Guan Yu appeared in front of him, he felt a little moved. He quickly raised his head and struggled to stand up. Dong Bai in the distance wanted to help him up. Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "
No, he can stand up. On the battlefield, he was a warrior who cut down thirty people in a row and even curled his sword. How could he not stand up?" Hua Xiong laughed when he heard Guan Yu's words.
With a cry, he finally stood up.
"Hahaha, that's right, I haven't reached the point where I need support from others!"
Hua Xiong said, looking at Guan Yu in front of him, the two hugged each other.
The bold laughter blew away the shadows here, and the two sat together. The wine that they had not picked up for a long time was once again held in Hua Xiong's hand. Guan Yu said with some displeasure: "You guys are coming.
Liangzhou didn't tell me in advance. Did you know that I set out from Xizhou yesterday and galloped without even taking a moment's rest? The Northern Army was training there in Liangzhou...oh...that's right.
, please don’t tell anyone about this anymore..."
"Chang Sheng, it was indeed my negligence not to inform you in advance, but how could you not trust me? Which of the things you told me before did I tell?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me?!" Guan Yu was a little excited. He drank wine, which made his face even redder. Guan Yu said angrily: "I told you the news about the Northern Army heading north before, and I told you again and again not to talk to outsiders.
He said, as a result, not even a day has passed, even the farmers in Luoyang are talking about the news that the Northern Army is going to Xizhou!! You guys, it is really my misfortune to be friends with you!!"
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Hua Xiong suddenly laughed, frowned, and said helplessly: "You can't blame me, Changsheng, you don't know, I was drinking with Guo Jia that day, and he accidentally tricked me.
To put it bluntly, you also know that that guy is a master of all four subjects. Although I, Hua Xiong, am not far behind him, I still wasn’t careful enough with him and was deceived by him. As a result, he was messing around everywhere.
It is said that these are all Guo Jia’s evil deeds!”
"Hehehe, but I heard that you were drunk and forced others to talk about these military affairs. They didn't want to listen, and you even wanted to beat them up..."
"These are all rumors!! I, Hua Xiong, hate this kind of people who love to spread rumors the most in my life!!"
"Hehehe."
"Okay, it's a rare reunion for us two brothers. Don't mention those things. It's all in the past. Come and have a drink!"
"Hehehe."
Guan Yu sneered, but still took the wine in his hand and took a sip. Guan Yu usually didn't like this kind of fruit wine, but it was illegal to drink together, so he could only drink fruit wine. The two of them drank wine,
Hua Xiong talked about some things these days. Guan Yu listened carefully. Hua Xiong just said with emotion: "Sometimes, I really don't know what we got in exchange for our efforts back then. People today live a
In such a wealthy life, we have forgotten many important things..."
"O Changsheng, we all seem to have been forgotten..."
Guan Yu laughed, shook his head, and said: "In the past, when we fought bloody battles here, wasn't it just so that they could drink at home with peace of mind and live a prosperous life? If you forget, forget it, at least,
The Xianbei people and the Qiang people outside the Great Wall have no way to plunder or kill them anymore. The purpose of our previous campaign has been achieved, so why do you do this?"
"Haha, you are right!"
"Forget it, just forget it... They are living a better life, pretty good."
The two of them laughed and drank the wine, but they couldn't taste the sweetness in it.
"Go prepare some food!!" Hua Xiong looked at Dong Bai and ordered loudly. Dong Bai was particularly happy. She didn't expect that Guan Yu's arrival could make Hua Xiong recover so quickly. She smiled.
, hurriedly went in to prepare. Watching her enter the inner room, Hua Xiong looked at Guan Yu. Guan Yu asked with some confusion: "Don't the post stations prepare their own food?"
"I'm used to her cooking..."
"Eternal life..."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to die." Hua Xiong looked into Guan Yu's eyes and said word by word. Guan Yu's heart trembled. He looked at the extremely serious Hua Xiong in front of him. He was speechless for a moment. Just as he was shouting, Hua Xiong
Xiong suddenly said again: "I'm very scared."
"You... don't talk nonsense. How can anyone know his own life or death?"
"I know in my heart that when I was in Luoyang, I felt my weakness. My whole body became weaker and weaker. Even breathing became extremely difficult at some times. My knees and elbows were in terrible pain.
..."
"This is so normal. Among our brothers who fought abroad for many years, which of us didn't do this?"
"I'm already very old... Hahaha, I'm dozens of years older than you..."
"So what, Mr. Cui has lived for nearly a hundred years!"
"Zhangye, a few months ago, Huanglong appeared."
Guan Yu was speechless, looked at Hua Xiong in front of him, snorted coldly, and said: "How can you have Huanglong? Maybe it's another important minister... You are always so superstitious.
,Alas, people from Liangzhou..." Guan Yu shook his head and sighed. Hua Xiong disagreed. He always believed in this. He believed in the kingdom of heaven, and he also believed that Huanglong sent the great sage to that kingdom of heaven. Even more so
I firmly believe that Ma Jun is a magician who can control thunder and lightning.
"I hope that after I die, you can help me take good care of Dong... I'm worried that the Dong family will bully her again..."
Hearing Hua Xiong's words, Guan Yu felt very uncomfortable. He was about to persuade him when suddenly he stood up and said excitedly: "Barbarian, I have a way to protect you from death!"
"Ah??" Hua Xiong was confused. Could it be that his friend was actually a monster like Ma Jun?
Guan Yu smiled and said: "In the past, in the Northern Army, we heard something. In Xizhou, there was a capable man who was the best at exorcising demons. Even Huanglong could not get close to him. This man is now in Zhangye.
He became the governor of Zhangye because of his merits. Just wait, I will bring him here now!!" Guan Yu said, and rushed out quickly, leaving only a stunned Hua Xiong, looking at Guan Yu who was walking away.
, speechless.
.....
"General... I really don't know how to deal with Huang Long... I just don't believe this... this..."
Zhong Changtong said aggrievedly, but no matter what he said, he could not convince the strong general. Guan Yu held Zhong Changtong's arm tightly and dragged him towards the inn.
Unable to resist, in front of Guan Yu, he had no power to escape. Even the officials around him did not dare to stop him. Seeing the prefect being dragged away by Guan Yu, Zhong Changtong wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Don't try to trick me. I know the story of Mr. Xing and the three yellow dragons. It was you who made the yellow dragon unable to get close... You must save my brother!"
Guan Yu said coldly, Guan Yu was extremely gentle to the minor officials, even the common people, and soldiers, but when facing these ministers, they were especially cold and arrogant when they were powerful. Zhong Changtong shouted: "Those are all
Rumors! I usually say that I can subjugate demons, but they are all jokes. I just don’t believe them! It’s not that I can really subdue Huanglong!!”
Hua Xiong was a little uneasy. He was sitting in the courtyard and waiting. Suddenly, Guan Yu broke in and dragged a young man with him. The young man looked helpless, like a chicken, and was thrown in front of Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong stood up quickly. He was still very afraid of such a strange person. The young man took the lead in saluting Hua Xiong and paying homage to him. Guan Yu closed the door and said, "This is Zhong Changtong, the governor of Zhangye!"
"
"Manzi, do you know Mr. Xing?"
"It is said that during the time of Mr.
Ah!", Guan Yu said seriously, Hua Xiong's eyes widened, he looked at Zhong Changtong and said: "Your Excellency really has such a terrifying ability??"
"I can't! It's all rumors!! I really don't have that ability!!"
Zhong Changtong shouted.
Unexpectedly, his eager refusal made Hua Xiong become excited.
"Changsheng, it seems that he really has such abilities. If he is a deceiver, how dare he speak like this?!"
