The next morning, at about 4 AM, Yan Yan's manor sent someone to invite Zhang Bao and me. After I reported to my mother, Zhang Bao and I rode to Yan Yan's prefect's manor. Once we got off the horse, the butler at the door welcomed us in and directly welcomed us into the living room. Yan Yan and Old Lady Yan were already waiting there. Yan Yan sat at the head of the table, and Old Lady Yan sat beside him. Although Yan Yan's beard and hair had turned white, his complexion was already very rosy, indicating that he had almost recovered.
"Mister Tong, Mister Bao, thank you for saving my life. My wound hasn't fully recovered, so please forgive me for not being able to welcome you personally. Please forgive me for the inconvenience during the banquet. Please fill this cup."
"General Yan is too polite. Brother Bao and I are not people who are bound by conventional etiquette. However, the general has just removed the snake venom, and wine is a big thing. Please don't drink for a month. We are still young, and mother can't let us drink. My mother has an order, and I can't disobey it. We'll drink tea instead of wine first. I wish the old general a speedy recovery and ask for his forgiveness.。”
"Hahahahaha, since Mister Tong says so, then this old man won't drink this wine. I'll use tea instead of wine.”
We raised our glasses to each other. After we drank to our fill, Yan Yan asked again,
"I see that the two of you also have martial arts. When will you become officials? Where do you want to join?"
"We brothers have indeed practiced a few years of rough martial arts, but I'm afraid we won't be able to catch the general's eye. After a few years, I want to find a wise monarch to protect the Han Dynasty together, help the Han Dynasty to fall, and save the people of the world from fire and water.”
"Helping the Great Han Dynasty fall and saving the people of the world from fire and water, good, you have ambition. I wonder which hero in the world can enter your eyes now? Cao Mengde? Sun Zhongmou? Imperial Uncle Liu? Or my lord Liu Yizhou?"
"Haha, forgive me for not being able to answer this question right now. I can only say for sure that I will not protect Cao Mengde, who massacred all the people of Xuzhou for a personal grudge. I want to protect a hero who can save the people. My master once taught me a certain prediction technique. In the future, the person I want to protect will appear in the place where Gaozu flourished.”
"Hmm?"
Yan Yan heard my words and fell into deep thought. I know Yan Yan is not stupid. Although he protected Liu Zhang to protect his homeland, he also understands the general trend of the world.
Zhang Bao and I saw this and didn't disturb him. However, Yan Yan quickly turned into a god and asked us about the situation in Jing State. We ate and talked, and we had a good time. In the end, it became the Forgotten Age Sect. In the end, Yan Yan got someone to bring us a token. He told us that as long as we show this token, we will be able to pass through Yizhou without any obstructions. I knew that he would defect to Liu Bei sooner or later, so I took out a dagger from my boot and handed it to Yan Yan.
"General, I have learned a lot from this conversation. I hope to see you again in the future. This is something I use for self-defense, and it can be considered sharp. I'll give it to you as a souvenir. I hope you'll accept it with a smile.”
Yan Yan is a man of the army and also a man of temperament. With one look, he knew that my dagger was extremely sharp and was a rare weapon in the world. His eyes lit up.
"In that case, this old man won't stand on ceremony and accept it.”
"Old General, if you meet someone who can recognize my dagger in the future, you can trust him. I have another sentence for you. When you meet the dark, you will be auspicious, and when you meet the virtuous, you will prosper. The general will know the meaning of this when the time comes. We will be leaving Jiang Prefecture tomorrow, so we won't be coming to bid farewell to the general.”
Yan Yan got someone to send me back to the inn. On the way, Zhang Bao asked me,
"Third brother, why are you so godly today? What did that mean? Did Mister Kong Ming teach you this?"
"Big brother, this is a heavenly secret that cannot be casually revealed. You just need to know that you will see General Yan again in the future.”
The next day, we left Jiang Prefecture. Yan Yan had people carry him and his butler to the inn. He sent us all the way to the ten-mile pavilion outside the north gate. When we turned around the foot of the mountain, we could still see him waving at us from the pavilion.
Along the way, when there was no one around, the three of us would sometimes ride our horses and sing loudly, and sometimes we would fight and play. We were very excited. Mother knew that our child's temper had flared up, so she smiled and let us do as we pleased. Zhao Long and Zhao Hu were used to it and were too lazy to be surprised. However, we didn't let our guard down along the way. I'll treat it as a military exercise taught by my master. I also followed some of the battle ideas of the future generations and arranged for scouts to advance 100 zhang. Three people in a team, carefully advance. There were three guards behind them, 500 feet behind the main team. If anything happened, they would immediately call the police. The rest of us are also ready to fire our crossbows at any time. Sometimes, they could not stay in the city and could only camp in the wild. In such a situation, we would have expected that we would set up camp in advance. After Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and I have arranged the camp guards, we would usually draw lots and send two people out to hunt for wild animals to save some dry rations. Along the way, many wild chickens, rabbits, and deer were killed and became our food. Guan Xing and I even killed a bear. This bear smelled the beggar's chicken we roasted in our camp and came here. After Guan Xing and I found it, it became our practice target. This time, we also brought the hard bows from my steel mill. My three brothers, I use a three-crossbow, and the two of them use a two-crossbow. Their archery skills are better than mine. Although they can shoot through a tree with a hundred steps, they can still hit such a big target like a black bear with a hundred percent accuracy. They say they can shoot the left leg, but they can't shoot the right leg. This is what they can boast about in front of me. Guan Xing had already shot an arrow into the bear's stomach. The bear howled in anger. I quickly pulled out my big bow, nocked an iron arrow, and pulled the bow to the full. I aimed at the crescent moon on the bear's chest and shot. With a pu sound, I hit it, but I didn't hit the crescent moon. What I hit was its wide open mouth. My bow was strong, and the arrow pierced through the back of the bear's head. Plop! The bear didn't even manage to run two steps before it fell to the ground. It twitched a few times and stopped moving. At this time, it was only 20 steps away from us. Zhang Bao raised his spear. If it didn't work, he was ready to fight with it. We waited for a while, but the black bear still didn't move. I took out my meteor hammer and played with it. I was much better than my archery skills. With a whoosh, I knocked the black bear's left leg. It didn't move. It seemed that it was really dead. We surrounded it and dragged it back.
"Fourth Aunt, Third Brother's archery skills have improved greatly! It was shot into the bear's mouth in an instant.”
"Big brother, second brother, that's right. I train hard every day, how can I not grow?”
I didn't dare to say that I was aiming at the crescent moon. I accidentally shot it into my mouth. What vanity.
"Tong 'er, stop bragging. Does your mother not know your archery skills? Hurry up and let Zhao Long and the others clean up this bear. We can still eat for a few days.”
Zhao Long quickly went to pack up. In his previous life, bears were protected animals. He had never eaten bear paws, but it was different here. There were still many bears, and no one cared if he ate bears. This time, our cravings were appeased. The bear paw made our mouths oily. We kept shouting for another bear for us to kill. Unfortunately, not a single bear came for us to eat bear meat until Western Liang.
Yan Yan's token was indeed useful. All the checkpoints along the way didn't make things difficult for us. After Deyang and Xichong, we arrived in Brazil. Brazil is also a relatively large county in Yizhou. We have been on the road for more than ten days and are a little tired. We plan to rest here for two days before continuing our journey. After settling down Mother and the big cart, the three of us sat in the inn's restaurant and ordered a few of Brazil's specialty dishes. We ordered a pot of tea and sat here to listen to what they were saying.
"Elder Ge, Zhang Lu is coming to attack us.”
"Zhang Lu is just a dog guarding the city. If Prime Minister Cao sends out his troops, I'm afraid he will be destroyed. Moreover, Uncle Liu has already entered Xichuan to help the lord resist Zhang Lu. I don't think everyone should worry.”
"Wang Ping, why are you freeloading again?”
Ping Wang? He was a general of Mr. Zhuge in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. He was very active in the Southern Expedition and Northern Expedition. Although he did not know many words, he was strict in managing the army and won the hearts of the soldiers. He was a rare talent in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. He was a geography expert in Xichuan. Before he joined the army, he was stranded in Brazil for a period of time. It seems that he wants me to catch up with him during this period of time. I must win him over in advance.
"Shopkeeper, please invite Mr. Wang upstairs for a chat. We are his friends.”
"Yes, Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll call him up immediately.”
Thump, thump, thump. Following the sound of footsteps, a burly man came up the stairs. He looked to be in his early twenties and his hair was a little messy. It seemed that he had not been living well recently and looked very down and out. However, if one looked closely, there was a burning desire hidden in his eyes that was unwilling to accept the current situation.
"Who is calling me? I, Wang Ping, don't have any acquaintances here?”
"Are you the Prince Jun of Brazil?”
"Yes, I am. I am the only one in Brazil called Ping Wang. However, I don't know you.”
That's good, then it can't be wrong.
"Big Brother Wang, we've long heard of your name. It's a pity that we've only met today. Eldest Brother, please take a seat first. My two brothers and I can't drink yet. Shopkeeper, bring me your good wine and your good dishes."”
Someone was paying, and the shop owner was eager for this to happen. Soon, the wine and dishes were served.
It seemed that Wang Ping was really hungry. He didn't talk to us first. He opened his mouth and started eating. After a while, he finished two jars of wine and a table full of dishes. I asked the shop owner to add more dishes for him. He burped and shook his hand, indicating that there was no need. I waved my hand to dismiss the waiter.
"Who are the three of you? Why do you care about my meals?"
"Big brother Wang, it's not convenient to reveal our identities here. We'll tell you later. We are going to Tianshui. We are not familiar with the mountain roads. I heard that Brother Wang is proficient in Xichuan geography. Please send us on the way.”
"Sigh, I don't have any relatives here anyway, so I don't have anything to stay here for. It seems like you guys aren't bad people. As long as you can take care of my food, I'll send you guys on your way.”
"Deal."
"A promise is a promise.
