"Ding dong! The Host has completed Side Mission 1. Reward: Divine Chariot White Stone. It's in the Xu Village's stable. Host, please pay attention to it.”The system elf appeared again.
That was great! Was he worried that there was nothing he could do to win the hearts of the people? generals love fine horses and steeds.
"Zhongkang, I don't think you have any good horses. Coincidentally, when we passed by Mangdang Mountain, we found a thousand-li horse. I named it Baishi. As soon as we arrived, Dian Wei pulled it over. Now this thousand-li horse is in the stable. Do you want to go and take a look?”Yuan Shao seemed to be seducing Little Red Riding Hood's wolf grandmother.
"Thank you, my lord. Where is (=@__@=)? Xu Ding, bring me there quickly?" Xu Chu's eyes lit up as he hurriedly pulled Xu Ding and ran out.
"Deacon Yuan, I've really made a fool of myself in front of you.”Xu Wei said as he stroked his long beard.
"No, as the saying goes, a beauty matches a hero, and a general loves a good steed. That's right." Yuan Shao finished the wine in the wine bottle in one gulp.
"Come, let's eat and drink." Xu Wei raised his wine cup and looked around the audience.
"Let's drink!"
"Eat!"
On the other side, Xu Chu and Xu Ding arrived at the stable. Xu Chu noticed the tall figure in the stable at a glance. He focused his attention and took a closer look. The horse was nine feet long and seven feet tall. Its limbs were strong and its main body was brownish-black. The most striking thing was that it had white hair that extended from the horse's forehead to the horse's abdomen and the ponytail.
"Zhongkang! What a good horse! He's really a thousand-li horse." Xu Ding looked at the white stone in front of him and praised sincerely.
"Big brother, watch how I subdue this horse.”Xu Chu did not even look back. He walked into the stable and mounted the white stone.
"Whoosh!" Bai Shi felt that someone was riding on him. His anger rose and his hooves stirred up the wind. He slipped out of the stable and ran left and right, trying to throw Xu Chu off.
"What a beast! Don't even think about it! Watch me." Xu Chu clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly and bent down to hug the horse's neck tightly.
"Zhongkang, be careful!" Before Xu Ding could finish speaking, Xu Chu's figure disappeared before his eyes.
"Aiya, really. I still have to go up and take a look.”Xu Ding was a little worried, so he rode a female horse and chased after her.
——
Yuan Shao Ju had almost finished drinking and stood up to bid farewell to Xu Wei. Li Guo and the others walked to the guest room arranged by Xu Wei.
Led by a Xu clansman, Yuan Shao and the others came to two rooms. Yuan Shao and Dian Wei shared one room, while Li Guo and Fan Yong shared the other. The two rooms were connected.
"Dian Wei, you've had a long day. Put down your halberd.”Yuan Shao directly sat on the couch, took off his shoes, and slept on it.
"Hey! I'll release it now. My lord must be tired. Drink some water.”Dian Wei took out a porcelain bowl and filled it with water before handing it to Yuan Shao.
"Alright, thank you. You should sit too, Dian Wei." Yuan Shao drank some water and patted the bed.
Dian Wei took off his armor, placed his halberds by the bed, and sat down.
"Dian Wei, look at how you protect me every day. It's been hard on you.”Yuan Shao lightly punched Dian Wei's chest.
"It's not hard, and I'm happy to."
"By the way, when you go back, bring sister-in-law and your son over to Bohai Sea. That place will be very safe in the future. How about it?”Yuan Shao suddenly recalled that Dian Wei had a son and suggested.
"Thank you, my lord. I haven't seen my wife and my son for a long time. I really miss them.”Dian Wei's ferocious face revealed a nostalgic expression.
"It's also my fault. You only remembered after looking at me for so long. How about this, when you pass by Chen Liu on your way back, you will stay behind alone and bring your sister-in-law and son back to Luoyang City. Then, you will follow the main group to the Bohai Sea. Keep this money first. When you go to Chen Liu, buy some chicken and rice to nourish your sister-in-law.”Yuan Shao put his arm around Dian Wei's shoulder and stuffed a piece of horseshoe gold into his hand.
"Yes…I know." Dian Wei didn't stand on ceremony and took the Horseshoe Gold.
"Then I'll go take a shower first. It's your turn later.”Yuan Shao got up and walked towards the bathroom with a towel in one hand.
"I'll be guarding outside."
In the bathroom, a bucket of hot water had already been boiled. Yuan Shao waved away the servant maids who were waiting at the side and directly took off his clothes. He jumped into the wooden bucket.
"How comfortable! The water temperature is just right." Yuan Shao sighed.
"Ding dong! As Xu Chu had subdued the Thousand Li Horse White Stone, his martial strength had increased by 1 point. His basic martial strength was 97 points, and it had now risen to 98 points.”Little Fairy's words suddenly appeared in Yuan Shao's mind.
"Seriously, can you not be so scary, little elf?”Yuan Shao couldn't help but complain.
Sorry, Host, you can't!" For some reason, the little elf sounded a little arrogant.
"Alright then. I'm impressed!"
After Yuan Shao finished his bath, he went to bed and fell asleep, while Dian Wei slept outside.
The next day, the sun rose and the rooster began to crow.
Oh-oh-oh-
Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the wooden tiles above his head before sitting up. Looking at the sleeping Dian Wei beside him, Yuan Shao hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook him."Dian Wei, wake up. It's time to get up."
"Yes, it's dawn. I'll get up now.”Dian Wei shook his huge head, propped himself up with his hands, and got off the toilet.
Yuan Shao quickly put on his inner clothes and deep clothes, and put on the crown. Behind him was Dian Wei, who had already put on his armor.
After walking out of the room, he saw Xu Chu and Xu Ding waiting at the door. Yuan Shao said,"Zhongkang, Xu Ding must be anxious from waiting, right?"
"No, I just arrived. I didn't expect my lord to wake up so early.”Xu Chu rubbed his head and smiled honestly.
"My lord." At this moment, Li Guo and Fan Yong also dressed up and walked out of the room.
"Zhongkang, prepare to pack up. We are going back to Luoyang.”Yuan Shao turned his head and said to Xu Chu as he walked.
"My lord, this…isn't this a little difficult?”Xu Ding followed behind Xu Chu with a troubled expression.
"Why? Could it be that you…still have family members?" Yuan Shao stopped and asked Xu Ding.
"That's not it. It's just that some of my companions came to me last night and said that they wanted to follow my lord to Luoyang.”Xu Chu continued.
"How many people are there? Zhongkang! Now, the world was already in turmoil, and chaos was imminent. In a chaotic world, human lives were as cheap as grass. How innocent were the people in the war? Today, you want to worship me as your master. From now on, you will no longer have the peaceful life of the past. Life and death will accompany you for the rest of your lives. It's not too late for you to regret now. Do you regret it?" Yuan Shao's hand was tugging at his short beard, his tone heavy and sad.
"We have no regrets! I represent my brothers to pay my respects to my lord!" Xu Chu and Xu Ding replied in unison.
" My lord, there are more than 500 clansmen who wish to follow you to Luoyang. What do you think…" Xu Ding immediately reacted and asked softly.
"Five hundred people? Alright, these 500 people will all be my personal guards. Dian Wei and Zhongkang will each lead 250 people. After returning to Luoyang, they will be arranged to stay in the Yuan Mansion's courtyard in Luoyang and will be trained by the two of you in turns!”Yuan Shao pondered and could only make such arrangements for the time being.
"Yes!" Xu Chu and Dian Wei cupped their fists and accepted the order.
"Right, let them all have horses to ride. For this thousand mile journey to Luoyang, we have to prepare enough food and water.”Yuan Shao thought for a moment and still passed down the order.
An hour later, Xu Wei led over 500 Xu clansmen to the gate. Yuan Shao stepped forward and bowed,"Thank you for your hospitality, Old Patriarch. We still have to rush back to Luoyang, so we'll take our leave first.”
"Deacon Yuan, I'll leave this batch of clansmen to you. Young people should go out and adventure.”Xu Wei said with a sigh as he held his three-foot-long beard in his hand.
"Old Clan Leader, please rest assured. Today, Yuan Shao swears to the heavens: From now on, if you don't abandon Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will not let you down!”Yuan Shao pointed his index finger at the sky and swore.
"Greetings, Lord!" The five hundred plus people present replied at the same time.
"Let's go! The target is Luoyang, the eastern capital!" Yuan Shao pulled out his sword and pointed to the east.
