Chapter 17

As the distance from Chenliu gets closer, Bian and I are no longer so presumptuous. If Bian is found on the scars on his body when he goes home, it would be strange if Cao Cao doesn't tear her away.

Outside Chenliu City, Bian and I bid farewell to each other. Although this parting may be a long separation, we still pulled each other's fingers and agreed to see each other again.

I took my personal guards to wander aimlessly in Chenliu City. I sold the carriage before entering the city. The city was full of the New Year atmosphere, and it was very lively. I took my personal guards to a restaurant with me.

Maybe it was because the New Year was coming soon. The restaurant was empty and there were not many guests. I went up to the second floor and sat alone at a table, picked up the wine glass and drank slowly. The guards sat downstairs and shouted and drank.

Chenliu is not very big, nor is it prosperous in Chang'an. I slowly drank wine alone, thinking about my worries until the sound of fighting downstairs alarmed me.

I didn't get up, but sat at the table to drink. A personal guard came upstairs and said in my ear that there was a drunkard downstairs causing trouble, and pointed out that he wanted to see me

drunk?

Want to see me?

I don't think I have any people I know here in Chenliu, but I'm fine if I have nothing to do, so it's good to go and have a look.

I went downstairs and saw the guards surrounding a table. A young man was sitting at the table, dirty and holding a wine pot and pouring wine into his mouth.

When the guards saw me downstairs, they all gave way. I walked to the opposite side of the youth and sat down, watching him say nothing.

The young man seemed not to see me, but just kept pouring wine into his mouth with a wine pot, which made the collar of his chest and clothes completely wet.

I frowned, reached out and snatched the wine pot from the young man's hand and put it on the table, and asked in a deep voice, "I heard from my personal guard that you want to see someone, but why did you say nothing after you came and just drink?"

Seeing that the wine pot was taken away, the young man sighed regretfully, wiped his mouth and smiled, the general was very brave, and he actually came here. If I report to the prefect Cao, I am afraid that the general will not be able to leave the city.

I sneered, no one can stop me where I want to go, and similarly, if I want to leave, no one can stop me.

Hahahahaha, the young man laughed loudly and suddenly lowered his voice, I heard that the flying general Lu Bu is the best general in the world, and now it seems that it is a bit exaggerated.

I was shocked, but my face was not moving. I made a secret gesture. The guards understood and surrounded the young people.

It seems that you and I have never met each other. I wonder why you think I am Lu Bu?

The young man sneered, took the wine pot and poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and then slowly said, Although the general changed his outfit, his temperament could not be changed. Moreover, although the red rabbit horse outside the door had also changed his appearance, the momentum of the king of horses could not be changed.

I was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "You are just trying to determine that I am Lu Bu based on this? Don't you think it's too arbitrary?"

Of course, it is impossible to judge just by the same thing, but I heard that Cao's concubine has returned to the city today. It is said that this concubine was once captured by the general. Now the general and she appeared in the city at the same time. I am afraid it is not a coincidence.

Hum, this also cannot be concluded that I am Lu Bu. Maybe I just happened to run into the concubine who escaped from Lu Bu's camp and escorted them all the way back

Hahahaha, the general was boasting that he was the best in the world, but now he said that he was escaping from the barracks by the woman. In this way, wouldn’t it be ridiculous for the general to be the best in the world?

You!!! I laughed in anger, OK, even if I am Lu Bu, what do you think?

Me? The young man took another sip of wine. I am now penniless and just want to exchange the general for a few pots of wine.

Humph, is it just a few pots of wine? If this is true, I will still satisfy you. The wine in my house is enough for you to drink for the rest of your life.

The young man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "I'll thank the general first, and the future wine will depend on the general."

In the future?!Do you still want to rely on me?!

General, don't cheat, general, but the general said I'd like to drink wine for the rest of my life. This young man has even started to act like a rogue.

This, okay, I'll take you in. I sighed helplessly.

In this case, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao have seen the lord. The young man sorted out his clothes and saluted me solemnly.

Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao?! I didn't hear of me, I curled my lips

I have to say that Guo Fengxiao is still a little capable. He asked me to leave the city quickly and said that my outfit will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested. Once Cao Cao discovered it, it will be difficult to leave the city again.

I followed his advice and followed him out of the city from the east gate. Along the way, I had already seen many Cao soldiers rushing to the restaurant, and they also carried a lot of strong bows and crossbows with them.

Sure enough, I was discovered, and I secretly said luckily, fortunately, Guo Jia is quite talented, but why do we take a long way to get out of the city from the east gate?

Guo Jia saw the doubt in my heart and said, Chang'an is in the west, Chen Liu is in the east, Cao Cao expected that when his lord left the city, he would go back to Chang'an, and when he went to the west gate to Chang'an, he would be quicker, so Cao Cao would send troops to intercept outside the west gate, but Cao Cao was suspicious, and he would also send troops to intercept the south gate and the north gate, but when the east gate went out of the city, he went to the hinterland of Yanzhou. He felt that we would not seek death.

Hahahaha, I laughed to the sky, Cao Cao, you let me get out after all, not only that, I also played with your concubine, maybe now Bian is pregnant with my seeds

After laughing, I asked Guo Jia about the next direction of action. Guo Jia was speechless for a while, and then said, Jia was just here, but I don’t know the purpose of the lord’s trip this time, so I would like to explain the purpose first so that Jia can plan for the lord.

Purpose? It seems that there is no purpose. I smiled awkwardly and explained the truth to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was stunned for a while, then shook his head and smiled, since the lord had no purpose this time, let's just walk around, maybe the lord can get other gains.

This is exactly what I like. I took Guo Jia and his guards to travel around. Guo Jia had no interest in the scenery. He would look for a restaurant wherever he went and then get drunk.

I spent the year in the mountains. At that time, I hunted with my guards all day, and roasted the prey at night. I also added a pot of good wine. It was so happy that I could not stop.

One day, I took Guo Jia and his guards to hunt and came to a village. I was about to enter the village and ask for some water to drink, but suddenly I heard an angry shout, "How dare the thief come."

I looked closely and saw a strong man rushed out of the village, holding a machete, majestic.

I was about to explain a few words when the strong man rushed up and raised his knife to chop. I didn't carry a halberd with me. In desperation, I could only dodge first. The big knife cracked on the ground and cut a crack on the ground.

I took a breath, this guy was so strong

Seeing that the strong man failed to hit the attack, he roared and came forward again. His sword force changed from chopping to sweep, trying to cut me off with one knife and two swords.

At this time, my personal guard had already brought my Huaji. I took the Huaji and blocked the strong man's knife at a critical moment. With his backhand, he snatched his attack.

The strong man exclaimed and raised his sword and slashed hard again. My confidence in painting halberd increased greatly, and I cheered up my spirits and started fighting with him.

After a few moves, I realized that the strong man was just relying on his strength, and in fact he had no moves at all. I easily resolved his offensive.

After more than ten moves, the strong man was sweating profusely and his strength was not as strong as at the beginning. After blocking me a few moves, he suddenly screamed and jumped out of the battle circle and left.

You are not a hero because I don’t have a horse. When I find a horse, I will fight you. The strong man said harsh words before leaving.

I love that strong man very much and want to take him as my subordinate, but I can't think of any way to capture him alive. It's easy to kill him with my martial arts, so it's more troublesome to capture him alive.

Guo Jia knew what I was thinking, so he leaned into my ear and said a few words. My eyes lit up and invited the guards to ask them to do it immediately.

The next day I went to the village alone again. The strong man was already waiting there, riding a fat horse under his crotch.

Seeing this, I laughed and said, "Not even if this person is fat, the horse he rides is so fat, it's true that it matches you very well.

The strong man was furious when he heard this, and rushed forward to fight me with his horse and danced his sword. I followed Guo Jia's advice and did not use all my strength. I just fought with him.

Thirty moves have passed in a blink of an eye. I pretended not to be able to make up my strength and ran away. The strong man was not willing to give up. He slapped his horse and chased me. After chasing for about 500 steps, he rumbling, and the strong man fell into the pit with his man and his horse.

Of course, I dug the pit in advance. When the guards around him saw the strong man falling into the pit, they surrounded him and tied the strong man and brought it to me in a while.

While scolding the guard, I loosened the strong man's ties, and then snatched the wine pot from Guo Jia and poured a glass of wine for the strong man. The strong man smelled the fragrance of the wine, and saliva had already flowed from his mouth. I laughed and handed the wine glass to the strong man.

The strong man didn't refuse, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. After drinking it, he still felt unsatisfied and kept staring at the wine pot.

I poured another glass of wine to the strong man and asked with a smile, "The hero is good at telling him your name."

The strong man curled his lips and said, "My name is Xu Chu, and his courtesy name is Zhongkang, and here is Xu Jiawu."

Zhongkang, we have never met each other, why did Zhongkang call me a thief when he saw me? I asked curiously

There is a group of bandits here who bully men and women all day long. However, because I am here in Xu Jiawu, the thieves never dare to come. That day, I saw dozens of people in your group and thought you were the thieves, and they were thinking about how they became bolder.

Guo Jia and I looked at each other, both of us were ridiculous and crying. We don’t look like thieves in this dress.

I asked again tentatively, Zhongkang has good martial arts skills, has he ever thought about joining the army?

If I go to join the army, what should I do if the villagers in my village do? Xu Chu asked in a muffled voice

This is easy to deal with. Let the villagers in the village go together. My mansion in Chang'an also needs some people.

If this is the case, then I will ask the villagers. If all the villagers go, then I will go too. Xu Chu grabbed his head and said, "

I asked my personal guard to accompany Xu Chu back to the village. After a stick of incense, Xu Chu took the whole village's old and young people out and expressed his willingness to go to Chang'an with me.

I was in a good mood after hearing this, so I immediately sent my personal guards to Chang'an first, asking Zhang Liao to send someone to pick him up quickly, while taking Xu Chu and Guo Jia to Chang'an with the villagers. I have been away from home for almost two months, and I have become more and more eager to go home.
