Zhao Yi, who fell into a deep sleep due to dehydration, felt as if someone was feeding water to his lips.
To be honest, after a day of fierce fighting at Changbanpo, he fell asleep after boarding the ship. He was really thirsty at this moment, so he drank the water from his mouth with great cooperation. He suddenly felt that his body was cold and his spirit was refreshed. stand up.
He tried to move his body and change his posture, but he noticed that the hard bed in the cabin seemed to have become softer, and there was also a faint fragrance that penetrated his nose one after another.
Wait, this feel and elasticity…
Zhao Yi stretched out his hand and pinched it, and opened his eyes with difficulty. However, he did not see his eldest brother Zhao Yun for the first time, but he saw two ancient-style girls, one on the left and one on the right, kneeling next to him. One of them reached out and hugged him. His neck lifted his upper body, and the other person took a spoonful of water and brought it to his mouth.
"Where did these two beauties come from?"
Zhao Yi suddenly woke up and looked around. He was indeed still in the cabin.
Seeing that he woke up, the girl who was feeding him water showed obvious joy on her face and said: "My lord, you finally woke up. We are going to Xiakou soon. General Zhao was called by his father to arrange official business. You are my two sisters." We were worried about your savior, so we came to take a look. We heard you shouting that you were thirsty and wanted water in your sleep, so we..."
Zhao Yi looked at the woman across from him and recalled it in his head. Finally he remembered that this was Liu Bei's daughter that he and Zhao Yun rescued from the Changbanpo Tiger and Leopard Riders.
"I am of low status and I dare not bother you two young ladies. I am rude."
Zhao Yi withdrew his hand from the girl and saluted with an upright expression, as if nothing happened.
Sitting on her knees behind him, not only serving as a pillow for him, but also being unintentionally frivolous, her sister Liu Wanyi's face turned red with embarrassment, her head drooped, and she wanted to shrink into the seam of the boat.
But she also knew that Zhao Yi did it unintentionally and had fallen asleep just now. Besides, this heroic young man was the savior of her two sisters. If he hadn't fought to save them, they would have been captured by Cao Cao by now.
Sister Liu Zhaoqing put down the water, sat in a dignified and elegant manner and said: "We sisters have made a special trip to express our gratitude to our benefactor. I don't know what to call my benefactor?"
Zhao Yi waved his hand, intending to say you're welcome, but the simple movement of raising his hand made his whole body sore, reminding him of the soreness he felt when he got up early the next day after overtraining in the gym.
"My lord, Zhao Yi, named Hongfei, is the younger brother of General Zhao Yun. The two girls are being polite. That's what I should do."
"My benefactor's original name is Zhao Hongfei. There is no real responsibility in this world, especially since we are not related by blood. Even our uncle only ran away on his own, leaving my two sisters behind. Fortunately, Hongfei sacrificed his life. There is no way to repay this great kindness, but we will definitely mention this matter in front of my father."
Zhao Yi thought for a while and realized that the uncle they were talking about was probably Mi Fang. That guy was not good at anything else, but his ability to escape with fear of death was top-notch. No wonder he surrendered to Cao Cao in the end.
However, these two sisters are very well-behaved. In his time, they would still be basically children at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but look at these two girls, they are dignified, polite and steady, and they can do the same to a soldier who has no official position. Politeness is so rare.
At this moment, the cabin opened, and Zhao Yun, wearing armor, made a clanking sound as he walked. Seeing the two women, he paused slightly, then raised his hand and said: "It turns out that the two ladies are here, Xiakou has already arrived. , leave this to me."
Seeing Zhao Yun coming back, Liu Wanyi, who was still serving as Zhao Yi's pillow, quickly laid her benefactor down, lowered her head and stood up, bowed to Zhao Yun Yingying, and then got out of the cabin as if running away.
After the two women left, Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Yida narrowly and said: "Hongfei, actually you are at the age of marrying a wife and having children. It's just that you were born in troubled times and were homeless. My brother has never bothered to find a partner for you. It seems like this. The two girls are very concerned about Hongfei, but this status..."
"Brother is joking, just two kids, have Xiakou arrived? We are finally rid of Cao Cao, and we can finally live an happy life in the next period of time."
Zhao Yi knew that Zhuge Liang would go south to Soochow next and begin negotiations on the cooperation between the two parties to resist Cao Cao. This period of time was considered a rare calm in comparison.
"By the way, Hongfei, you have been in a comatose state before. The lord asked me about you when he invited us to discuss it. He expressed his admiration for you and was also very curious about the magic you used on the battlefield."
"Brother, in fact, my magical power cannot be easily revealed to others. After all, it will be life-threatening."
Zhao Yi didn't want people to think that that kind of ability was easy to use, and it was necessary to maintain a sense of mystery.
"Yes, brother knows that the magical method that kills people invisible is too weird, and blood will flow into rivers as soon as it is struck. It is not comparable to the charlatan, but... Hongfei, this is your chance to be reused by the lord. Opportunity."
"Hongfei understands, don't worry, brother."
As soon as Liu Bei's fleet arrived at Xiakou, they met Liu Qi who came from Jiangxia to meet them.
After Liu Bei and his party had settled down, they summoned their closest generals to discuss the next step.
Zhao Yi was just a soldier at this time and was not qualified to participate in the meeting.
However, he enjoyed his leisure time and wandered around Xiakou, admiring the primitive scenery from thousands of years ago.
Liu Bei confirmed several things at this meeting, two of which were closely related to Zhao Yi. The first was that his eldest brother Zhao Yun was promoted to the position of Yamen General to manage the soldiers around Liu Bei.
Secondly, Zhao Yi himself was promoted from an ordinary infantryman to a senior commander, with ten younger brothers under his command.
As for other things, Zhao Yi was not very interested. He only knew that after the meeting, everyone was busy organizing a funeral for Liu Biao.
Although this was a bit extravagant for Liu Bei who had just suffered a defeat, Zhao Yi knew that this was actually Zhuge Liang's intention. The drunkard's intention was not to hold a funeral at all, but to wait for someone.
On this day, Zhao Yi, who was fishing during training, hid in a deserted place, lit a cigar found in the warehouse, and enjoyed the peaceful time alone.
"Boss...Boss, why are you hiding here? General Zhao is looking for you everywhere."
A foot soldier with a thin face and protruding eyes, who walked with a hunched back, trotted up to Zhao Yi, but he was one of his few subordinates.
"Ma Liu, can you not walk so obscenely? What does my elder brother want from me?"
Zhao Yi stretched himself and put the cigars into the warehouse like a magic trick.
"I don't know what the specific matter is. I just heard that someone seems to have come to Soochow. The lord and the military advisor are very concerned about it."
"Oh? Soochow? It seems that Lu Zijing is here... So our Zhuge Military Advisor is about to be dispatched."
Zhao Yi murmured in a low voice, stood up and said lazily: "Let's go back."
Although Zhao Yi, the commander-in-chief, had only been in office for a few days, his reputation had already spread among Liu Bei's army.
Follow Zhao Yun to fight in and out of Changbanpo, rescue Mrs. Gan and the Lord's two daughters, kill Gao Lan, one of the "Four Pavilion Pillars of Hebei" with one move, seriously injure Han Meng, the "pillar", and scare off Cao Chun and his tiger and leopard ride.
This series of achievements became more and more outrageous, and some people even knelt down and burned incense in front of the camp where Zhao Yi was. In the end, Zhao Yi himself came out to speak out, and the situation calmed down.
"Brother, are you looking for me?"
As soon as Zhao Yi returned to the military camp, he saw Zhao Yun wandering around the door with an anxious look.
"Hongfei, you are finally back. You are not allowed to go out in the military camp without permission! Forget it, my lord has something to do with you, so come with me now."
Zhao Yi didn't understand why Liu Bei wanted him to be an expert. Did he ask him to perform so-called immortal magic?
Zhao Yun couldn't help but drag him away. After a while, he came to the outside of Liu Bei's meeting hall. After being informed, he walked in.
"Lord, Zhao Yi is here."
"My lord~My lord will last forever~My lord will bring great blessings to the sky~"
Zhao Yi saluted Liu Bei with a playful smile, making the latter laugh non-stop.
"Hehehe~ Hongfei, I called you here today because I have something for you to do."
Zhao Yi took a quick glance as soon as he came in and saw no new faces. It seemed that Lu Su had already been settled.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, looked at Liu Bei and smiled and said, "This Hongfei is really a strange person. I have never seen anyone who dares to talk to my lord like this."
"Strange people are different from ordinary people. It's understandable."
Liu Bei didn't care about these details and continued: "Hongfei, the military advisor is leaving for Jiangdong today to do a big thing, but I am a little worried about letting the military advisor go alone, so I thought of letting you go with him."
"Oh? Let me be the military advisor's bodyguard? Very good, very good~~ When are we leaving?"
When Zhao Yi heard that he could follow Zhuge Liang on a public trip to Jiangdong, he agreed with both hands and feet. He was almost bored to death staying in Xiakou.
"Hehehe~ Hongfei will go and pack up now, we will set off immediately~!"
