After returning to the camp, uncle took us brothers to review the competition with Zhang Fei the Third Master in his own tent regardless of our fatigue. Zhang Bao's family's traditional spear skills were good. Naturally, uncle took him to imitate Zhang Fei the Third Master and dismantled his moves one by one so that we could understand the intention of the two people's moves and their responses. Under Uncle's explanation, our martial arts skills improved by another level. In the past, I loved to use brute force and was known to be able to defeat ten people with one's strength. However, if I encountered an opponent with similar strength, my technique would be inferior. After all, I had not practiced martial arts for a long time and did not understand the moves well. Thinking back to the first time I met Uncle Pound, I even fought with him for more than ten rounds. Now that I think about it, if Uncle Pound understood me and paid attention to some techniques, I might be controlled very quickly. His uncle was now strong and his spear skills were profound. His Ma family spear skills were summed up by generations of the Ma family in the battle against foreign invaders. It was the application of spear skills on the battlefield. It paid attention to attacking instead of defending. The big moves were simple, and the real and fake were exchanged. Every move was fatal. There were very few purely defensive moves. This was very similar to the spear skills of Zhang Fei San Ye. It was only because they fought so well. This is my uncle's martial arts. I have to learn it well and incorporate it into the halberd technique I use. I reckon that the power of my halberd will be even greater. Although Guan Xing couldn't directly learn from the moves when he used the saber, his aura and his ability to predict the opponent's moves in advance were much better. Needless to say, Zhang Bao's spear technique had a bit of calmness in its madness. It added some moves that could change reality from reality. Originally, his strength was not as good as his father's. Moreover, his father was a martial arts genius who could create a set of spear techniques suitable for him from the Pig-chasing Spear Technique. Now, Zhang Bao was different from his father. If he still used pure force to force his way, it was inevitable that he would not be able to deal with his opponent. This competition could be considered to have opened up a path for him to explore the spear techniques that were suitable for him. Wang Ping uses a spear. Although he has learned many formal spear techniques from us in the past year, he has never seen uncle's full-force attack. This can be considered an eye-opener. He has to digest it well.
We stayed up late and hadn't digested the moves yet. Seeing how tired Uncle was, we took our leave and waited for him to rest before asking him for advice. In fact, although I was excited and didn't feel tired at the time, once I returned to the tent, my legs felt like they were filled with lead and I didn't want to move at all. Especially me, I couldn't even open my eyelids. After Mother came over to see us, she also urged us to rest quickly. I immediately went to bed to sleep. But while I was sleeping, I heard Zhang Bao ignore her fatigue and go to the military tent where Xiahou Yuan was imprisoned to greet his grandfather.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. I slept in. Third Master Zhang Fei didn't come to challenge me, so we didn't look for trouble. Yang Bai also knew that Liu Bei had personally arrived at Jiameng Pass, which meant that the reinforcements had arrived. They could no longer be as leisurely as before. Yang Bai was injured. Yang Ren also admitted that he was not a match for Zhang Fei's third master through yesterday's martial arts competition. Naturally, they did not take the initiative to attack and waited for their uncle to make the decision. Seeing that his uncle was not moving, they naturally did not leave the camp to challenge him. They only followed the arrangement and strengthened the patrols in the village to prevent Liu Bei from ambushing them. The few of us went to uncle's tent again and were taught by uncle. However, besides teaching, we also discussed with uncle how to keep in touch with Jiameng. Today it's Yang Bai's turn to patrol the camp, so it's inconvenient to go out. Tomorrow we'll start when Uncle Ma Dai patrols the camp.
Finally, it was Uncle Ma Dai's turn to patrol the camp. Guan Xing and I disguised ourselves as Uncle Ma Dai's personal guards and left the camp together. Guan Xing and I were also dressed like Western Liang soldiers. We followed at the back of the group and rode out with some things. They left the camp and headed south. There was a turn. There was a forest here. Jiameng Pass and Yang Bai's camp couldn't see this place. Under normal circumstances, the patrol would turn back here. While the group was heading back, Guan Xing and I walked slower and slower. When no one was paying attention, we quietly turned our horses and turned into the forest. When they were far away, we took off our clothes and buried ourselves under a tree. We even made a mark under the tree so that we could dig it out when we came back. From the leather bags on the horses, we found a set of casual clothes and put them on. We took off the beards on our lips and the powder on our faces. We jumped on the horses and headed for Jiameng Pass.
When they arrived at Jiameng Pass, the soldiers on the city wall shouted,
"Hey, the two people outside the city stop. If they continue to move forward, we will shoot arrows.”
Guan Xing and I quickly stopped. Guan Xing raised his head and shouted at the soldiers guarding the city,
"Soldiers at the pass, listen up. Report to Uncle Liu and Uncle Zhang San in the city that Guan Xing and Zhao Tong have returned.”
The soldiers on the city wall had never seen us before, so they naturally didn't recognize us. The bows and arrows in their hands were still pointed at us, but I also saw that someone had already sent a message inside. Jiameng Pass wasn't big. Not long after, one, two, three…many heads popped out from the city gate tower. Among them is Zhang Fei's third master's leopard head and eyes, as well as his iconic beard. I'm worried that his beard will break the brick on the door. Of course, there was also a steady middle-aged man in the middle. It was naturally Liu Bei. I was pleasantly surprised to see another person, my master, Mr. Zhuge. They all held the city gate and looked down. After a while, they saw Mr. Zhuge pointing at Third Master Zhang Fei and saying,"
"General Zhang, am I right? You can treat us when we get back."
Third Master Zhang Fei slapped his own forehead with his fan-like palm and said,"
"I lost to you again. Old Zhang admits his punishment.”
Liu Bei, who was in the middle, asked Third Master Zhang Fei,"
"Look carefully, is it them? Why is Zhao Tong so tall?"
Third Master Zhang Fei said without hesitation,
"It's these two children. Big Brother, look at them. Can't you see my second brother and Zilong? Someone, open the door and let them in.”
The city gate creaked open and the drawbridge was lowered. The two of us rode into Jiameng Pass. As soon as we entered, the drawbridge was raised and the city gate was quickly closed. The moment I entered the city, I could tell that this was purely a military camp. There was not even a small business here. As soon as we entered the city, Mister Zhuge, Third Master Zhang Fei, and Uncle Liu Bei had already walked down the city walls. When we saw him, we quickly jumped off the horse and came to the front of the three of them. One by one, we bowed to him. After we kowtowed to Uncle Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Bei hurriedly helped us up and looked us up and down.
"I haven't seen you two for two years, and you two have actually grown so big? Uncle almost couldn't recognize you. Especially Tong 'er, I was only this tall when I left, but now I'm almost as tall as Daren!”
As he spoke, he drew a picture. Two years ago, I only saw his chest. Now, I almost saw his eyes. His face revealed a very sincere expression as he spoke, making people feel very comfortable.
Third Master Zhang Fei was also groping us up and down. He even tried to pinch my face, making us feel very itchy. I patted Third Master Zhang Fei's hand hard.
"Don't touch me, I'm not a kid anymore.”
Zhang Fei laughed.
"It's indeed Tong 'er! It's not fake."
Master Zhuge couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Third Master Zhang Fei said. However, he didn't come over to say anything to us. He only said to Uncle Liu Bei,
"My lord, let's bring them back.”
"Alright, Military Advisor. It was not a good idea to talk here. Men, return to the main camp."
After Uncle Liu Bei finished speaking, he held our hands and did not mount the horse. They walked back to the meeting hall of the Central Army. Jiameng Pass wasn't big, so they arrived very quickly. Uncle Liu Bei let us sit wherever we wanted and said,
"Nephew, sit on the stool that Military Advisor Zhuge brought. It's more comfortable.”
When I looked, haha, he was also sitting on the folding stool that I made in the public security bureau. Seeing this, Master Zhuge smiled and said,"
"My lord, you have been asking who first built this stool. This lowly subject has yet to tell you. In fact, this person is far away and right in front of you.”
Uncle Liu Bei looked at the two of us and was stunned. He said to Master Zhuge,"
"Advisor Jun, are you joking?”
Third Master Zhang Fei continued,
"Big brother, it's not them, it's him!”
He pointed at me. Master Zhuge also nodded at Uncle Liu Bei. Uncle Liu Bei's eyes flashed with joy. After we sat down, Mr. Zhuge asked us about the year since we left the police station. I told him about what happened from Gongan to Xiliang, and Guan Xing also added some details. However, I didn't tell him that I opened another weapon processing factory in Western Liang. Guan Xing didn't know about this either, so he didn't add anything.
I told him three things about how we saved Yan Yan and captured Wang Ping. How to treat the wounded soldiers in Western Liang, how to break through Ji City, how to defeat Xiahou Yuan, how to outsmart Chencang, and so on. As the two of us recounted our story, Third Master Zhang Fei's face danced with joy as we recounted our story, and then he slapped his legs and cried out in regret. However, I didn't see any major change in Uncle Liu Bei's expression. He listened to us calmly. I think, no wonder people call Uncle Liu Bei a fierce and ambitious man. When Cao Cao invited him to drink in Xuchang, he talked about the heroes of the world. When he mentioned that the heroes of the world were Cao Cao and Uncle Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Bei could actually cover it up with the sound of thunder. Sigh, he was really a fierce and ambitious person. He was not an ordinary person.
I didn't hide anything about the Tai Tiger Battalion. After all, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing knew about it, so I couldn't hide it. However, I said that although the Tai Tiger Battalion could listen to uncle and us in Ji City, they are still locals and also uncle's subordinates. We can't bring them to join uncle Liu Bei. When he talked about how I established the Xi Liang branch of the Jishi Hall to help Uncle develop production as soon as possible, expand his financial channels, and stabilize Xi Liang, Uncle Liu Bei was a little unhappy. I hurriedly took out two tubes from my backpack and handed them to Uncle Liu Bei.
"Uncle Liu, this is a treasure that the Jishi Hall caravan bought from the Western Regions. It's called the Clairvoyant, and it can clearly see the enemy's movements a few miles away. At that time, he only bought three. My uncle kept one, and I gave the other two to Uncle Liu and Master Zhuge. Please accept them.”
Uncle Liu Bei and Master Zhuge took them. However, Master Zhuge glanced at me and I could see a cunning smile in his eyes. I was shocked, but I pretended not to see it and went to teach them how to use the Thousand Mile Eye.
