At this time, there was a commotion outside the meeting hall. It was Zhang Wei who had returned. As soon as he came in, he picked up the water and drank it. He took a few big breaths and said hurriedly: "Dad, the Chu State has sent an army, about two thousand people." , has been stationed in Chubu!"
One sentence was like lightning and thunder, shaking the meeting hall with a buzzing sound. Everyone's face was gray and their hearts were wailing. It's over now!
After a long time, the third uncle coughed slightly, breaking the suffocating silence. Everyone looked at him, their eyes full of respect. In the entire Wei tribe, he and the fifth uncle were the only two who had fought against the Chu tribe. Yes, Zhang Laosheng was not born yet.
The third uncle's cloudy and groggy eyes shone brightly, his stooped waist straightened a lot, and he exuded a fierce aura, which made everyone's hearts tremble.
"It's been more than forty years. At that time, I could still pull a three-stone bow, and my fifth brother could still wield a sword well. Alas, many old brothers are on the battlefield and will never come back..."
The third uncle's face exuded a strange light, as if he had returned to his youth, proud and sentimental at the same time.
"If Chu wants to fight, we will fight with them. Even if the Chu army is added, we will fight with our lives. How can we not fight!? Even if we can escape to Wei, Qin has already attacked South Korea, and Wei has another How can we be spared? Where can we escape to? I am old and can no longer walk. If I die, I will die in the Wei Department, closer to my old brother!"
With tears in his eyes, the fifth uncle said loudly: "I'm a cripple and no longer useful, so I'll just hit him with this crutch. I can still kill one or two!"
When everyone saw the two old men expressing their opinions like this, tears filled their eyes. Suddenly the crowd became excited and they shouted to fight to the death with the Chu tribe and the Chu army. The atmosphere was very lively.
Zhang Laosheng breathed out a heavy breath, his resolute eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and said slowly: "The third uncle said, we have no way to retreat, fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Everyone also raised their arms and shouted, and the generous and tragic atmosphere permeated the entire Wei tribe...
After the discussion, the third uncle took Chen Xi's hand and told him to come to his house as a guest someday. Chen Xi respectfully agreed. Someone from behind patted Chen Xi. When Chen Xi turned around, San Pao looked at him with a playful smile: "Little brother, it's very good. I will give Qiaoyun to you and won’t argue with you!”
With a "bang" sound, Sanpao had already been kicked by Zhang Laoer on the butt.
After the plan was completed, all members of the Wei Department were mobilized, saving food and grass, preparing soldiers and horses, and actively preparing for war. The Wei Department wanted to send people to the Han Department to deliver a message. Zhang Lao Er was originally going to go, but there was nowhere to go at this time. Zhang Laosheng thought After thinking about it, he decided to let Chen Xi go.
"Brother Lao Sheng has taken a fancy to you and said that although you are young, you have a clear mind and are able to speak well, so you can handle big responsibilities!"
Chen Xi was confused: "Shall I deliver the letter?"
Zhang Laoer said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yun'er will go with you. She often goes to Hanbu to buy food in exchange for food. Chief Hongbang recognizes her."
Chen Xi was relieved, it was just a message. Zhang Qiaoyun was familiar with the place, so there would be no problem.
The next day, Chen Xi and Zhang Qiaoyun were ready to set off. Zhang Qiaoyun was carrying a bow and arrow and a sword at his waist. Chen Xi was fascinated by his heroic appearance. The beautiful woman in front of him looked like a Mu Guiying or Hu Sanniang.
Before leaving, two children saw them off. They were elder sisters like mothers. They were a little in awe of Zhang Qiaoyun, but had no scruples about Chen Xi. They stayed together every day, pestering Chen Xi to tell them about Journey to the West, and sometimes Zhang Qiaoyun had to scold them at night. Will sleep.
"Brother, please come back quickly and teach us three dozen white bone essences to make delicious food!"
Zhang Qiaozhen held Chen Xi's hand reluctantly, while Zhang Baolong held Chen Xi's clothes, with his mouth pursed and tears streaming down his face. Seeing the two children reluctant to let go of him, Chen Xi felt warm in his heart. This was the first time he went out in this world. It feels good to have someone caring about you.
He touched the heads of the two children and said with a smile: "When I come back, I will cook boiled fish for you."
The two children were very happy, their eyes were shining. Chen Xi was good at cooking. They had never eaten many dishes. Zhang Qiaoyun said: "Don't run around at home, listen to daddy!"
"Here, sister, take care of yourself out there and take good care of your little brother!"
The two children lowered their eyebrows and bid farewell to their sister.
"You're an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf!"
Zhang Qiaoyun felt sour in his heart when he saw them being more affectionate with Chen Xi and spat out bitterly.
"Qiaoyun!"
A horse came galloping from a distance, and the two children muttered: "Here we go again!"
The visitor was Zhang Wei. He walked up to Zhang Qiaoyun as soon as he got off his horse and said, "Here, this is the deer breast made by my mother. Let's eat it on the way!"
After saying that, he handed over a bag of things, with a smile on his face and a fiery look in his eyes. Zhang Qiaoyun said lightly: "Thank you, Brother Wei. I also brought some, so I don't have to worry about it."
Zhang Wei was rejected and scratched his head. He was very embarrassed. Seeing that the two children were there, he gave it to them. The two children were not polite. They thanked Zhang Wei and took it. His eyes rolled around and he said with interest. Look at them.
"Be careful on the road. If you weren't preparing for war, I would have gone with you."
"I'm just going to Hanbu. I go there often."
"Yeah, that's right, little brother, thank you for your hard work, take good care of Qiaoyun!"
After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zhang Qiaoyun rolled his eyes at Chen Xi. Chen Xi smiled awkwardly and nodded. It's Zhang Qiaoyun who is covering him, okay?
Watching Zhang Qiaoyun and Chen Xi go away, Zhang Wei felt melancholy. Zhang Qiaozhen sighed and said quietly: "Oh, falling flowers have feelings, but flowing water has no intention..."
Zhang Wei laughed angrily, turned around and glared at her: "You two villains! Every time I give you something, you eat it, and you don't even say a few nice words to me!"
Zhang Qiaozhen said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, keep working hard, there will be hope!"
Chen Xi also went to the equestrian club in his previous life. Although he was not very skilled, he was okay. After riding for a while, he gradually became smooth. The Han tribe is to the west of the Wei tribe, and the Chu tribe is to the south of the Wei tribe. The three tribes are in an upside-down " "品" font distribution.
Zhang Qiaoyun didn't speak much along the way and looked worried. Chen Xi was even more depressed. He had only a few days to live in peace and he was about to face a war. He didn't know how long it would take for Qin Shihuang to unify the world in 221 BC for more than thirty years. At that time, whether he was still alive or not, his heart was filled with darkness.
"what's on your mind……"
The two of them spoke at the same time and asked the same question. They looked at each other in astonishment, laughed, and felt more relaxed.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "You say it first."
"My younger brothers and sisters have lost their mother since they were young. They haven't grown up yet, and there is a war here again. I really feel for them..."
"Aren't you like this yourself? In fact, I am the same. I was displaced in the war and did not live a good life. I originally thought that after coming here, I would start a small business, find a gentle and kind husband, and have a few children. , living a quiet and comfortable life, it seems difficult now..."
"Haha! What are you thinking about, you little brat? At such a young age, you are thinking about getting a wife and having children?"
There were not many early marriages in this era, especially for men. Basically, according to the Zhou rites, a wife could be married after a crowning ceremony at the age of twenty. For some special reasons, a wife could be married at the age of eighteen.
After listening to Zhang Qiaoyun's words, Chen Xi was speechless and felt very depressed, a young boy? I am seven years older than your father.
At this time, they came to a mountain. From a distance, they could see long and winding mountains. The mountains were majestic and majestic, with high cliffs everywhere. Zhang Qiaoyun pointed to a canyon ahead. Said: "Wei and Han are separated by mountains, and they can only pass through this Yanggu."
"What!?"
Chen Xi was greatly surprised. In his previous life, Chen Xi came to Pingdingshan for investigation and clearly remembered the terrain here. There was no mountain range between Lushan County and Xinhua District. Why did this long mountain range suddenly appear now? And it seems that just as Zhang Qiaoyun said, the Wei and Han tribes were completely separated.
Zhang Qiaoyun rolled her eyes at Chen Xi. This kid is really weird. When she saw the mountains in front of her, she seemed to have seen a ghost. She said angrily: "What's wrong? Is there a ghost in Yinglong Mountain?"
When the three words "Ying Longshan" came into his ears, Chen Xi's eyes suddenly went straight and he shouted loudly: "Ying Longshan?!"
"Hey! What are you doing weird?! See for yourself, doesn't the mountain on the north side of this mountain look exactly like Yinglong's body? The one on the south side is the dragon's head, and the canyon in the middle is very flat. Doesn't it look like Yinglong's body? It’s the dragon’s neck!”
Zhang Qiaoyun said dissatisfiedly, what did this kid do when he was shocked?
Chen Xi swallowed hard and looked carefully. It really, really looked like it. At this time, the scene of that night appeared in Chen Xi's mind. A big Yinglong suddenly fell to the ground, and its huge body was like a mountain. Continuously...
Chen Xi wiped his face hard and tried to calm himself down. This thing was too bizarre. Could it be that Yinglong fell down and turned into a mountain, and he happened to fall down with him and hit Shuyang, and because of Yinglong's , changed the historical trajectory here?
"Hey! Why is your face all white!? Are you okay?"
Zhang Qiaoyun asked anxiously. This strange boy's face was pale and his body was trembling while riding on the horse, as if he was about to fall off.
"it's okay no problem."
Chen Xi forced a smile and entered Yanggu with Zhang Qiaoyun. Yanggu was quite spacious. The narrowest point was ten meters and the widest point was thirty meters. The entire canyon was three kilometers long and could be passed quickly. This People were coming and going in the canyon, and trucks were passing by without any obstacles.
They passed through Yanggu and entered the border of Han. At noon, they were a little tired, so they stopped to eat at a food stall on the roadside. This is the main road from Han to Chu, and there are usually many people coming and going. , but for some reason today, no one was seen. It must be that the war is about to begin. The Chu tribe blocked the border and refused to allow the Korean tribe to enter, so this road was cut off.
While eating, two knights galloped from the direction of Chubu, followed by a carriage. The knights stopped in front of the food stall, and the carriage also slowly stopped.
