Not to mention Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's preparations to take office, Cheng Feng and Zhao Yun left the city and went straight to Changshan.

"Brother, why are you going back in such a hurry?" Zhao Yun was very puzzled.

Cheng Feng smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "That's enough. Now that I've seen Zhang Fei, there's no point in staying any longer. Let's go back quickly. I always feel like something is going to happen!"

"Oh!" Although Zhao Yun was puzzled, he knew that his elder brother was very smart. If he didn't understand something, he would definitely listen to him!

The snow this year is particularly heavy. God may have concentrated all the precipitation in the year in winter! Some people say it’s good to have lots of snow, as auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. This is fine in Changshan, but inappropriate elsewhere. Now most of the land is deserted and uninhabited. Even this winter, no one knows how many people will freeze to death! Just as the eyes were covered with snow, two war horses were roaring and galloping!

"Haha, brother, you lost this time!" Zhao Yun laughed and looked back, only to see Cheng Feng frowning. He couldn't help being stunned and jokingly said, "What's wrong, brother, didn't you just lose? You're not happy." .”

"You little brat, Zilong, let me ask you, with our foot strength, how long will it take us to reach Changshan?" Cheng Feng asked slowly

"Based on the speed of Chi Yan and Xue Ying, we can get there in one day. Considering the snowy weather, we should be there in two days!" After saying this, Zhao Yun himself felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, we have been gone for two days!" Cheng Feng smiled bitterly,

"Brother, I understand, we are lost again!" Zhao Yun had a black line on his head! In fact, there was nothing we could do about it. The entire land was completely white, and there was no village. They were still walking on the post road at first, but as the snow became heavier and heavier, they couldn't see the road at all. The two of them just kept their heads down and walked forward. Where is it, who knows!

"Brother, what should we do?" Zhao Yun was a little helpless. It was impossible to identify the direction here and there was no one to meet. It was really difficult to ask for directions.

This question really stumped Cheng Feng. If there was the sun, it would be easy to tell. Even if there was no sun, as long as there was melted snow, it would be fine. But it was snowing heavily, so there was really no way to tell! "Oh! I don't know either! We can only go forward and see if there are any villages on the road! I hope we can encounter a town!" Cheng Feng was helpless!

After saying that, the two of them continued on their way, otherwise it would be even more troublesome when it got dark! Look at the snowflakes flying all over the sky. Cheng Feng's brain twitched, and he actually sang "A Cut of Plum Blossoms", "True love is like a vast grassland, layers of wind and rain cannot stop it. There will always be a time when the clouds open and the sun rises, and the sun shines on you and me..."

"Brother, what kind of music is this? It's pretty good!" Zhao Yun asked with interest.

"The song I made," Cheng Feng said sarcastically, not blushing at all. No one knew about it anyway. With his modest cultural level, it seemed that he could still become a literary giant here!

"Although I've never heard of it before, it sounds pretty good! But it's quite appropriate for the occasion! The world is so vast that I can't even find my direction." Zhao Yun was going crazy!

"Haha, let's go, Zilong! There is no road ahead." After saying this, Cheng Feng took the lead! Zhao Yun hurriedly caught up with him. This elder brother was too unreliable and he couldn't be asked to lead the way.

After traveling for a long time, the two finally saw a city. When they ran to the city gate with joy, they were dumbfounded!

"Hejian County!" Zhao Yun was a little crazy. He had lost his way. He was originally going to the west, but it was good that he ran directly to the east. "Brother, we have made a big circle!" Zhao Yun has a toothache

"Haha! Just find the city. Come on, let's go get something to eat first!" Cheng Feng said awkwardly

"Let's go!" Zhao Yun said with a smile, that's all that can be done, let's have a good rest first.

If you don’t compare, you don’t know. If you compare, you will be shocked. Staying in Changshan for a long time will really make you think that the world is peaceful. Once they came to Hejian, the two of them discovered the difference. The city was deserted. Although it was snowing, not even smoke could be seen, which was a bit strange! The two walked around but couldn't find a restaurant. "Brother, where are we going?" Zhao Yun asked.

Cheng Feng did not expect this situation. It seems that Hejian is even more desolate than Zhuo County. "Zilong, it seems that this place is also the place of the Taiping Sect. The people have probably fled. Let's take a look and find someone else." Let’s stay somewhere and get something to eat!”

"That's all!"

"Hurry, catch him, don't let him run away, how dare you steal our things!" There was a noise in the distance, which attracted Chengfeng Zhao Yun's attention, "Let's go over and have a look!"

"Beat him to death for daring to steal my Taiping Sect's belongings!"

"Hmph. You are robbing the common people too!" A loud voice said,

"Oops. Come on, hit me." A scream came, and it turned out that he was taking action.

When Cheng and Feng took a closer look, they saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, fighting with a group of people. Seeing that this young man was powerful and light in his steps, if he hadn't been trying to protect what he was grabbing, he might have left long ago! But even so, these Taiping cultists are no match for it. "Come on, come on, come on, this kid is here, beat me hard." I heard a cry, and another group of people came. Now the young man couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly found a gap and broke out from the crowd!

"If you have the ability to fight alone, I, Zhang He, am not afraid of you," the young man said angrily.

"You stinky brat, you come to our place every day for food, and we don't say anything. Now you dare to steal our things! If you steal some food and drink, we will treat you as beggars. You actually stole Our Fang Lord’s letter is so daring!” In fact, they didn’t really want to arrest Zhang He, but the leader ordered that the letter must be brought! Otherwise, a big disaster will happen!

"If you want it, come and catch me!" Zhang He said with a smile.

"Go! Catch him!" After shouting, a group of people rushed forward. Zhang He was a teenager after all, and he was exhausted and out of breath after a while. "You wait until I finish eating and come back!"

When he heard the name Zhang He, Cheng Feng was a little moved. I didn't expect that I would meet a famous general again when I took the wrong path! "Hey, I want to leave! Keep your life!" Suddenly a group of people with weapons appeared.

Zhang He was surprised. In the past, he only had small fights, and they would not care about him. Besides, we were all from the same place, so it was okay to have fights occasionally. But today, these people were completely unknown to them, and there were actually some Weapons, this made Zhang He a little confused. Although I am not afraid of them, when it comes to killing people, I have never killed them before!

"Huh? The Taiping Religion has actually started to have soldiers!" Cheng Feng secretly thought, but he just doesn't know how many soldiers there are now!

"Brother, we can't let them hurt this young man!" Zhao Yun said

"Haha, they are not opponents yet!" Cheng Feng said slowly

"Huh?" Zhao Yun was stunned! He looked at Cheng Feng a little surprised!

"Boy, don't even think about leaving today." As he said that, a group of people came directly to kill him. So fierce? He dared to kill people in public. Thinking of this, Cheng Feng was shocked. He didn't seem to see the officers and soldiers in Hejian City, nor the government. No, it seems that this place has become the headquarters of the Taiping Sect!

"Zilong, take action quickly and save this young man. Let's leave immediately!" Cheng Feng shouted,

"Okay!" Although Zhao Yun was confused about Cheng Feng's decision, he still went up to kill him, "Kill!" Just as Xue Ying sprinted, seven or eight people were overturned by Zhao Yun. Cheng Feng took the opportunity to pull Zhang He onto his horse, and the three of them hurriedly ran out. To the city!

"Thank you both for saving my life!" Zhang He saluted, "I wonder who you two are?"

"I'm Cheng Feng, this is my second brother Zhao Yun!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Ah! Lord Chengfeng! Zhang He pays homage to you!" Zhang He quickly saluted excitedly

"You're welcome! What's going on? Why are they chasing you?" Cheng Feng was confused.

"Sir, just because I stole their letters and knew their secrets, they want to kill me and silence me!"

"Huh? What's the secret?"

"They wanted to rebel, so they started in Yecheng. Now many places have become their strongholds." Zhang He said

"Oh! Really? Did you say when?" Cheng Feng said solemnly, after all, all forces are waiting for Zhang Jiao to rebel, if he can take the lead. You can seize the opportunity!

"I don't know this yet, so I often come to steal their letters!" Zhang He said,

"Well! It's hard for you, why didn't you report it to the official?" Cheng Feng asked curiously

These words made Zhang He smile bitterly, "Our county guards are all Taiping believers, what's the use of reporting it to him? In fact, I planned to report it to Lord Gongsun Zan, but unfortunately I couldn't find him! However, luckily I met Lord Cheng!"

Cheng Feng took a breath, luckily he didn't bump into it, otherwise you would have asked Liu Bei to fool you! "Zhang He, what are your plans next?" Cheng Feng asked

"Sir, I, Zhang He, am alone now. If you don't dislike me, I am willing to follow you, through fire and water, no matter what!" Zhang He quickly knelt down and said

"Haha. Get up quickly, I can defeat Zhang He more than a hundred thousand soldiers!" Cheng Feng said happily,

"Hurry up, they are right in front, we must not let them go!" Suddenly a shout came, and a group of people were chasing after them, with only the leading ones riding horses. After seeing Cheng Feng and others, come quickly!

"Brother, you go first, I will stop the pursuers," Zhao Yun said.

"Hmph! There are just a few thieves, what's there to fear! Zilong, how about you join me in a fight?" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Okay! Haha! Brother, let's see who can kill more!" Zhao Yun laughed.

As soon as the words fell, the two men rushed forward with weapons in hand, chopping melons and vegetables, and rushed back and forth. Both of them are highly skilled in martial arts. It is too easy to deal with these soldiers. It really is true to what I said. You fell down before I even exerted any force! If they hadn't taken Zhang He's feelings into consideration, the two of them could have killed them all in one charge. The bravery of the two scared the other side. I thought that several young men would be captured easily, but they did hit a nail. Everyone was afraid of their lives. Yes, if the situation was precarious, they would still shout a few times for the so-called call, but now the Taiping believers eat well and drink well, and are more comfortable than anyone else, so who would risk their lives? "Run, run," I don't know who shouted first, and everyone ran away, throwing away all their weapons! They all wished their parents had more legs, so they rushed back one by one, almost as fast as horses. Cheng Feng laughed loudly and said, "Zilong, stop chasing them and let them escape."

"My lord is indeed brave and invincible. I, Zhang He, am truly convinced!" Zhang He is truly convinced this time. Although this lord is young, he is decisive in killing and has good intentions. Originally, many of the people chasing him were his old self, and I was worried that they would all be injured. Unexpectedly, this lord only killed the true believers with weapons, which made Zhang He even more impressed!

"Haha, Brother Zhang, don't you praise me?" Zhao Yun joked

"Oh! General Zhao is also brave and invincible," Zhang He said quickly, causing several people to laugh and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Okay, I think they will come after them after a while. After all, we have the letter they need most! Junyi, hurry up and pick a horse, and we will go back to Changshan. Zilong opens the way!" Cheng Feng ordered

"Okay, brother, don't worry." Zhao Yun snickered, which only confused Zhang He. Why don't you just lead the way? Why are you laughing? "Lord, I know the way. I'm familiar with this place. Just follow me!"

"Okay! Let's hurry up. It's freezing cold today. Find a place to eat quickly!" Zhao Yun said

"Wait a minute, let go of those horses and let them go in the direction of Zhuoxian!" Cheng Feng thought for a while and said.

Although Zhang He and Zhao Yun were puzzled, they still did as Cheng Feng said. This is the advantage of Zhao Yun. Whether he understands it or not, there is nothing wrong with executing the order!

Several people ran all the way towards Changshan. Not long after Chengfeng left, a large number of Yellow Turban believers arrived here! "Fang Master," "Qu Shuai!" Two different words came to mind. Some people may wonder why this is so. In fact, they are all the same title. Zhang Jiao divided the Taiping believers into thirty-six parties, and each party set up a party leader. Also known as Qu Shuai!

"Well! How's it going? Did you find it?"

"Nothing was left behind, even the horse hoof marks went in two directions!"

"Two directions? Which two are they?"

"One goes west and one goes north!"

"Where do you think they will go?" the Qu Shuai asked.

"This?" The people who were asked looked at each other, who knew, "Qu Shuai, why don't we chase them in two directions! Anyway, there are few of them."

"I'll go take a look!" One person said suddenly. Seeing this man coming out, several people relaxed a lot. Although they didn't know his name, everyone was convinced of his wisdom! I just watched him for a while, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Go west and chase!"

"Sir, why is this?"

"Haha, Qu Shuai, our horses have just been bought from the north. They are not war horses yet. They retain some of their wildness. But look at the hoof prints of the horses. They are obviously not ordinary horses. We probably don't have such horses yet. ! So I think they went west!"

"Well, listening to what you say is better than studying for ten years. Hurry up and follow the horse's hoof prints and move forward quickly!" the Qu Shuai shouted.

At this time, the party struggle began again in the Luoyang Palace. The eunuch group united and attacked the upright officials and celebrities at that time, expelled them from the court, and then each made money and encircled the land. Among them, the main ones were Zhang Rang and Xu Xu! For a time, the court was full of chaos, and all the major families took refuge in the trouble and secretly prepared military affairs in their respective territories. The whole Han Dynasty is in a state of turmoil, but Zhang Jiao in Julu City is very uneasy in his heart. The date has been set. The army will be launched in March next year. There are still three months left. I hope everything goes well!

"Drive, drive, drive!" There was a sound of horse hooves outside Changshan City. "Open the city gate quickly, the prefect is back." Han Yong shouted. Although he couldn't see the person clearly, he could recognize the horse. Han Yong hurriedly took him with him. People came out of the city to greet him.

"Haha, old Han, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are getting stronger again." Cheng Feng joked

"Meet the Lord"

"See you, sir." Everyone quickly saluted

"Okay, okay, let's all get up. Let's go, let's go into the city! Thank you for your hard work, brothers!" Cheng Feng didn't have any airs at all and greeted everyone with laughter!

"Lord! Brother Zilong" Zhang Liao greeted from a distance,

"Brother Wenyuan" Zhao Yun is also very happy. After all, here, besides Cheng Feng, he has a good relationship with Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun mostly respects Tian Yu!

"Haha, it will be good to come back, it will be good to come back! This snowy day is really worrying!" Zhang Liao said

"Okay, let's go back first. Go and invite Mr. Zhang over. Let's have hot pot there!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I haven't eaten for more than a day!" Zhao Yun also laughed.

After a while, people came one after another. Cheng Feng was eating hot pot and singing a song. It was so happy. As Zhao Yun talked about his experience, everyone laughed. This happy scene deeply affected Zhang He and Zhang Zhongjing!

"Come on, let me introduce you to you." Cheng Feng cleared his throat and said, Cheng Feng pulled Zhang Zhongjing and introduced, "This is Mr. Zhang Zhongjing, a master of medicine in the world and the dean of our Changshan College. A great professor in the college." Although a few people still didn't understand what these words meant, they also knew that this person was very important based on Cheng Feng's attitude!

"I've met you sirs!"

"Mr. Zhang, there is no need to be polite. I will ask you to take care of Changshan's medicine in the future. I declare that you are Changshan's imperial physician!"

"Ah! Thank you so much, lord!"

Cheng Feng took Zhang He and introduced him, "Everyone, this is Zhang He. He has strong martial arts skills and extraordinary agility. He is a good general!" Zhang Liao's eyes lit up when he heard about his martial arts skills.

"Zhang He pays homage to all your lords," Zhang He saluted

"Master Zhang, you're welcome."

"Haha. Wenyuan, now you have a helper! If you have time, you can discuss it more. And the book of war. You must study more!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Yes! Lord!" Several people responded.

Cheng Feng introduced everyone one by one, and everyone was considered acquainted. Then came the drinking and drinking. The atmosphere was much better than the gloomy atmosphere in Hejian City. While Cheng Feng and the others were laughing and talking, Qu Shuai and his men also chased them all the way to Changshan.

"No, it's Changshan, retreat quickly!" With these words, he took the people on the city wall and ran away without anyone seeing him clearly. "This is bad. Report it to the leader and say that Cheng Feng knows about it!"

"Yes!" one person responded, immediately turned his horse's head and ran directly towards the giant deer!
