The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Xu Fu has not been out of the lieutenant's mansion.

Before the epidemic, Xun Zhen often asked them to go to the camp to watch Xu Zhong, Xin Ai, Xia Houlan, etc. to practice military affairs in order to make him and Xu Ji familiar with military affairs. They were strictly ordered not to go out.

Xu Fu and Xu Ji are not very old, especially Xu Fu. When they were young, they learned from those rangers to "roam the market". They were people who couldn't sit still.

Early this morning, he got up, washed, and finished eating. He sat on the bed for a while as usual, picked up the "Easy" on the desk, and opened it. "The Book of Changes" is difficult to learn. Although it is said that Xun's family learned in "The Book of Changes", Xun Shuang's attainments in "The Book of Changes" are very high, far exceeding the vulgar Confucianism. I also put a lot of effort into "Easy", but I still haven't been able to learn it very well, it's just general. Xu Fu also followed Xun Qu to learn "Yi". Compared with Xun Zhen, he studied for a short time, but his achievements were much higher.

This thing also depends on talent.

Xu Fu flipped to the sentence "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-improvement", read it a few times, and thought: "Last year in Yingyin learning "Yi", Master Xun told me this sentence, let me never forget it. To Zhao County, but only a vegetarian meal in vain, I am really ashamed."

Chen Bao, Xun Cheng, Gao Su, and Wen Ping who came to Zhao County with him were all entrusted by Xun Zhen. How many, but now he is also leading hundreds of iron officials and apprentices, but he and Xu Ji have nothing to do. Feeling annoyed, he pushed the book away and heard the wind blowing outside the window and the rustling of mulberry branches. The footsteps came from far and near, someone came, stopped outside the door, knocked gently, and a voice sounded: "Is Xu Jun there?"

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a little maid walked in.

This little maid was specially chosen by Xun Zhen to serve Xu Fu.

Xu Fu has been in the market of Qingxia since he was a child. Although he is studying in different seasons, the habit he developed in Qingxia is still there. He is not very strict in etiquette. "Is something wrong?"

The little maid glanced between his legs and knew that this "Xu Jun" was arbitrary and most "disorderly behavior", she just pretended that she didn't see anything, looked away, and replied, "Zheng Jun, they will be closed today. Mu, we had a banquet at home and sent someone to ask Xu Jun if he was going?"

"Zheng Jun" a government official in the lieutenant's mansion.

Knowing that Xunzhen liked Xu Fu and Xu Ji, the officials of the lieutenant's mansion were very courteous to both of them, and they often invited them to drink and have fun. However, Xu Ji never went there. Xu Fu has a light chivalrous temperament and would go there once in a while, but he was in no mood at the moment, frowning and said: "The epidemic in the county is not over, the lieutenant is worried about it day and night, as a subordinate Officer, I don't want to relieve your worries, but why did you organize a banquet? I won't go."

The little maid answered the order, bowed and bowed, turned to leave, and went to reply to invite Xu Fu's servants of the Zheng family.

Xu Fu dropped the scroll and walked around the room a few times. He lost the thought of reading. Since he came to Zhao County, he has rarely fencing and practicing archery again. Excited to practice swords and archery outside the county.

Since he was leaving the house to move his body, he didn't bother to change his Confucian clothes, so he found a "hakama pleat" to put on, took off the sword from the wall and hung it around his waist; then he took off the bow and arrow and held it in his hands. He has been a light chivalrous man since he was a child, and naturally he is no stranger to fencing. After entering the private school of Xun's family, Xun Qu is also a master of fencing, and his level in fencing has risen to a higher level.

With a sword and bow and arrow, he left the courtyard where he lived and went straight to the stables.

When the staff of the stable saw him coming to fetch the horse, he hurriedly selected a good horse, bridled it, saddled it, and delivered it to him. Xu Fu thanked him, led the horse out of the stable, pulled the reins, and walked along the straight road in the house and walked out of the house.

Arriving at the gate of Defu, one person came out of the school house beside the gate.

This man was in his early forties, his head was wrapped in green silk, a knife was inserted into his waist, he bowed in salute, greeted with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Xu!" He looked at him, and asked, "He who is holding a bow and leading a horse, is this what Are you going out hunting?"

Xu Fu smiled and said, "Yes."

"Oh, look at this horse, it's really a steed."

This person is the head of the gate of the Lieutenant's Mansion.

The duty of the mansion pavilion chief is to guard the mansion gate. To the county and township officials who came to the Lieutenant's mansion to work on business, he was a person who could not be offended, but to the close people of Xun Zhen in the mansion, he was a little person who was not worth mentioning. Therefore, when he opened his mouth, he was flattering.

But having said that, flattery is flattery. The horse that Xu Fu led is really good. It was captured by Xun Zhen when he was fighting the Yellow Turban. According to those who know horses, this horse has the blood of Xiji horses, with short ears and long neck, and a thick trunk. The hind limbs are shaped like a knife, and the horse is very handsome.

Xu Fu smiled and said, "What? Do you want to ride? Why don't you come out of the city with me and try it out?"

"I think, why should I be entangled in official business."

The horse probably hated being pointed at him, so he snorted his nose, flicked his hind legs, and flicked his ponytail, which was almost thrown into the face of this mansion's pavilion. Frightening him, he laughed and got up.

"What business?"

"What else? It's just guarding the gate. The lieutenant has an order: No one can enter or leave without reason."

The head of the pavilion of the mansion carried out Xun Zhen's order also depending on the person. Xu Fu was a close person of Xun Zhen, but he did not dare to stop him.

Xu Fu nodded and said no more, leading the horse out of the house.

Go out of the gate and go to the main road in the city.

The epidemic is still lingering, the streets are sparse, the mid-spring is getting warmer, and the pines and cypresses on the roadside are lush.

Xu Fu got on his horse and rode out of the city.

After leaving the county town and reaching the outside of Dexian County, Xu Fu wanted to shoot some wild objects as a gift to Xun Zhen, so he walked all the way to the hills and woods in the west, passing through the village houses gathered in the suburbs, and proceeding along the official road. Barren fields and wasteland by the roadside, wild trees and sparse forests in the distance. A stream of water meanders through, lit by the morning sun, looking like a belt in the distance. The coolness of spring was still there, and even though the horse was not fast, Xu Fu still felt a little cold.

No one was seen along the way.

After leaving the city for more than ten miles, I met an official from Handan County, and four or five officials and soldiers accompanied him on both sides of the chariot with bows and sabres.

He saw this little team, and this little team saw him.

Probably because he had bows and arrows and a long sword, the two officials at the rear of the palace watched him vigilantly.

Famine, epidemics, refugees, and thieves, the world today is far from normal, and even when county officials travel, they must guard against bandits and robbers.

Xu Fu did not want to cause unnecessary disputes, so he controlled the reins with one hand and put the other hand on the saddle, moved the horse's head, and crossed the convoy by the side of the road.

Not wanting to cause a misunderstanding in the team, he galloped his horse after passing the team.

After walking three or four miles, he saw the hills on the left side of the road were undulating and the forests were lush, which was a good place to practice archery and fencing. There are many trees along the road, and one was chosen as a target.

When he was ready, he put on his wrench and stood twenty paces away from the tree, with his feet apart, he slanted the longbow first, put the arrow on it, raised his eyes to find a target on the tree trunk, and said to himself: "And Watch me shoot five feet above the tree." Holding his breath, he raised the bow and arrow, felt the downwind, made a slight adjustment, inhaled deeply, exerted strength on the waist, opened the bow wide, and relaxed the string. But seeing the arrow like a shooting star, going like a lightning bolt, it hit the tree with a bang. The arrow cluster penetrated deep into the tree trunk, and the arrow feathers hummed. Five feet above the tree in the middle.

Although he usually draws the bow too many times, his back and arms hurt, but when the arrow hits the target, Xu Fu has a great sense of achievement. : "The trunk of the tree by the road is too thick. If there is a thinner one, I will show my means." After returning twenty paces away, he shot two more arrows, both of which hit the target.

Twenty steps was already his current limit, and he would not be sure if he went further.

He felt that his hand was relatively smooth today, so he decided to challenge the difficulty, and took ten steps back, opened the bow and pulled the string, aimed at the target, and was about to shoot, when he caught a glimpse of fine dust from Tanaka, but a rabbit ran past, the arrow arrow As soon as he left his hand, he regretted: "You shouldn't be distracted!" Sure enough, the difference was a thousand miles away, only to see the arrow brushed against the tree trunk and slanted into the soil.

The arrow shot out, and when he went to look for the rabbit, he was nowhere to be seen. He regained his mood, cheered up, picked up the arrow, and continued to practice.

The sun is rising, and it gradually reaches the sky, drying it on the body, driving away the cold and removing the cold, and the warmth is all over the body.

After practicing archery for a while, he switched to the fencing again, still using the tree trunk as a target, first hurriedly retreated, danced a few times, then clenched the hilt upside down, raised his arms, leaned back, and threw the long sword out. Although it didn't hit the target, it wasn't far off.

"With this sword and a bow, when you kill a thief in the future, you will not be blocked by the sword, but greeted by the sword."

Xu Fu had also been idle for a long time, making fun of the bitterness, laughing at himself, picking up the sword, and when he was about to throw it again, he felt that something jumped out of the corner of his eye, and when he turned his head to look, it was the hare that was just running up and down. Low, ran over again, running among the rolling hills.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I just want to fight a wild thing for the lieutenant!"

He hurriedly put his sword into the sheath, took the bow and arrow, ran to the horse, untied the reins, jumped on, and followed after him. The horses are galloping, and the wind is blowing. He crouched on his horse and followed closely behind the hare. He shot arrows twice, but gave up because he was not fully sure. He chased him out for several miles. The hare suddenly changed direction and ran into the depths of the hills.

Xu Fu cherished his mount, and the fields were uneven, and he was afraid of hurting the horse's leg, so he had no choice but to run away.

The sky is blue and cloudy, and the fields are vast. There is no one on the road, only the sound of horses.

Although he failed to capture the prey, he was very happy with this galloping horse.

Xu Fu simply didn't stop, and ran forward for a few miles before slowly slowing down and rubbing his face, which was about to be hardened by the wind, as if the depression in his chest had also been vented a lot. Wang, suddenly stunned.

In front of the road, there are corpses lying all over the place.

He pulled his bow in his hands alertly, and looked before and after ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There was no one on the road, among the hills, or among the forests. It was obvious that the perpetrator had long since left. He was not timid. With the bow and arrow in his hand, he slowly urged the horse to move forward. As he walked, he stared at the field and counted the corpses on the field. Walking a little closer, he could see more clearly, and he opened his eyes wide.

Among the 200 corpses, 30 or 40 were stripped naked, leaving only the red scarf wrapped around their foreheads. Several of them looked familiar to him, and they were clearly the righteous servants of Xun Zhen! Looking at the remaining corpses, they were all in tattered clothes, and they should be refugees.

"This, this, this is the soldiers Xun Zhen sent to patrol the county and township and met the rioters!"

He didn't care about being cautious, and hurriedly drove his horse to the front, jumped off the horse, and ran to the corpses, looking at the stripped corpses one by one. He knew that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were in charge of these townships in the north of the county, but he didn't know whether it was Liu Bei or Guan Zhang who encountered the rioters here today? A young man with long ears and big arms jumped into his eyes.

"It's Liu Bei!"

Liu Bei was also stripped naked and lay on his back naked on the ground. Xu Fu jumped over the scattered corpse and squatted beside him. He saw that his eyes were closed, his face was covered in blood, and he had a knife wound on his waist. Yes, Xu Fu's heart sank, and he reached out to test his breath. He felt a slight breath, and was immediately overjoyed: "He's not dead yet!" Even though he didn't die, he had lost most of his life. Xu Fu didn't dare to delay, so he took off his coat, wrapped it around Liu Bei's body, carried him to the horse, rolled over, hugged him with one hand, controlled the rein with the other, turned the horse's head, and ran towards the county as if flying.
