With a feeling that was difficult to calm down, Yuan Shao returned to the room. At this time, Madam Yang had already fallen asleep. Yuan Shao gently walked to the side of the bed and focused his gaze on it. She had slender eyebrows, a delicate nose, and snow-white skin that was as beautiful as jade. She was wearing a wine-red gauze dress.
In an instant, Madam Yang flipped over and said in her sleep,""Husband, when will you…come back? I…miss you, husband.”
Silence. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Yuan Shao took a deep breath, got up, and walked out of the house. When he arrived outside, the rain had gradually stopped. From time to time, there would still be raindrops falling on the eaves.
Yuan Shao's eyes were firm as he walked towards the outer room. Holding the paper umbrella, he strolled through the courtyard and arrived in front of a pavilion. On the windowsill of the pavilion, there was still a faint candlelight. This was the original residence of Xu Da and Su Lie.
He slowly walked up the steps and came to the door. He pushed the door open and entered. What greeted his eyes was Xu Da and Dian Wei hugging each other and sleeping soundly. Yuan Shao put away the paper umbrella and slowly walked to the bedside. He picked up the blanket and carefully covered Xu Da and Dian Wei with the blanket. Then, he blew out the oil lamp on the bronze candlestick and walked straight out.
However, the moment Yuan Shao closed the door, Dian Wei and Xu Da suddenly opened their eyes and looked at the quilt covering their bodies. They did not speak for a long time. In the end, it was Dian Wei who asked Xu Da in his simple and honest voice,"Xu Da, your big brother…what kind of person is he? I want to know?"
"Brother Dian, big brother is very good at taking care of us brothers. I, Xu Tiande, was born as a farmer, but big brother didn't despise me. Instead, he wanted to be my brother.”
"Is that so? I've never had anyone cover me with a blanket before.”Dian Wei's voice was so low. It was hoarse, as if he was immersed in some kind of memory.
"Brother Dian, why don't…you follow big brother with me?”
"Let me think…"
.......
"Oh right, since you can't sleep, let's go to the stable and take a look.”Yuan Shao, who had made up his mind, held the paper umbrella and walked towards the stable in the outer courtyard by relying on the memories in his mind.
Passing through the iron gate and arriving at the outer courtyard, Yuan Shao strolled alone in the rain. The rain would occasionally scatter and occasionally condense, sliding down the paper umbrella.”Horses neighed.
At this moment, three loud and sonorous neighs shook the entire stable.
Yuan Shao focused his gaze and saw purple. One red. One yellow and three Taoist bodies appeared in front of his eyes. He first looked at the purple horse. Its purple hair was like lavender. It was ten feet long from head to tail and eight feet high from its hooves to its neck. It roared and seemed to be flying into the sea. It was like a huge ferocious beast, taller than the two horses by a full head.
"Truly a peerless steed!" Yuan Shao sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Looking down, it was a blood-red horse with neat and shiny fur. Its body was about nine feet long, and sweat flowed out of its long mane like rouge. Its gem-like eyes emitted a lively light.!”It was as if he wanted to attract Yuan Shao's attention.
"Yes! It's really spiritual." Yuan Shao nodded in admiration.
When Yuan Shao turned his gaze to the last horse, he saw that this horse was black and yellow in color. It had a slender body and strong limbs. The most striking thing was its forehead. There was a diamond-shaped mark right above its eyes, and this diamond-shaped mark was bright red. It was like a bright lamp thousands of miles away.
Yuan Shao held the purple umbrella and walked to the front of the stable. He looked at the three fine horses in front of him. One man and three horses stared at each other. Finally, Yuan Shao could not help but stroke their bright manes and name them."I've already thought of your names, Feng Luzi. Rouge Blood. As for you…a lamp for a thousand miles, what do you think?”
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. It's so itchy, stop fooling around.”Yuan Shao turned his head, avoiding the tongue of A Lamp For A Thousand Miles.
"Alright, you guys eat more. I've already chosen a master for you. You'll see him tomorrow." Yuan Shao grabbed a handful of grass and feed and threw them into the manger in front of the three horses.
Yuan Shao already had a candidate in mind, Xu Da. Su Lie. Huang Zhong and the other two.
As for Dian Wei, he still had to go to the horse market tomorrow to see if there were any good horses for sale.
Luoyang's economic activity center was mainly concentrated in three cities, namely Jin City, Ma City, and Nan City. "Luoyang Ji":"The big market is called Jinshi, in the city; The south market is on the south side of the city, and the horse market is on the east side of the city.
At dawn, the sky gradually broke. The earth was hazy as if it was covered in a silver-gray veil. At this moment, a magpie chirped and broke the silence. After a while, the eastern horizon was covered in a patch of white, and the earth gradually lit up.
Luoyang City welcomed a new day. Yuan Shao stood in the room for a night.
Yuan Shao turned around and returned to his room, only to find that Madam Yang had not woken up yet. However, the servant girl Xiao Hong woke up.
Yuan Shao stopped her and instructed," Last night, there were two people who came back with me. They live in the attic over there. You can also ask the servants to prepare their clothes and wash up. Oh right, also send them ten catties of beef and five catties of mutton. Don't neglect them."”
"Yes, Young Master, I understand. I'll do it now.”
Yuan Shao just sat on the small couch and let the servants serve him, as if he was a landlord.
After putting on his clothes and trousers, he put on a black brocade robe made of Shu brocade and hung a sword at his waist. When he looked at it in the bronze mirror, he looked much more energetic.
Yuan Shao waved his hand to dismiss the servants, then strode out. Just as he reached the main entrance, he saw Xu Da and Dian Wei also clean up and walk out with their arms around each other's shoulders.
" Ha! Second Brother, did you have a good rest last night?" Yuan Shao walked up with a smile and punched each of their chests.
"Thank you for your concern, Big Brother. Last night, Tiande slept through the night. Right? Brother Dian." Xu Da nudged Dian Wei with his shoulder.
"I have to thank you for your hospitality. I haven't eaten that beef for a long time. It tastes good and I'm almost full.”Dian Wei stroked his stomach with a satisfied expression.
"That's right, that's the grace of saving your life, how can it be repaid with some beef? You see, I've already discussed this matter with my uncle last night. Uncle said that Chen Liu's prefect, Zhang Miao, would just have to inform him, and your arrest warrant would be revoked immediately. Today, I want to invite warrior Dian to follow me to Luoyang's horse market to see if there are any good horses. I want to find one for you as a token of my appreciation. Please don't decline!”Yuan Shao didn't give Dian Wei any reaction and pulled him out.
"Plop!" Dian Wei broke free from Yuan Shao's hand and then directly knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan Shao. He cupped his fists and said,"Deacon Yuan…Son, I, Dian Wei, am not someone who doesn't know what's good for me. I will remember how others treat me. Moreover, I have said it before. As long as you help me clear my name and return my innocence, I will acknowledge you as my master. From today onwards, you are my lord.”After saying that, he bowed down.
"Aiya! How could this be allowed? I can't do this. Get up quickly. I, Yuan Benchu, am not the kind of person who will repay kindness with kindness. However, it was just a casual remark. I can't take it seriously.”Although Yuan Shao was overjoyed, he still pretended to be a gentleman and wanted to help Dian Wei up.
"No, a great husband has to do what he says. As a man, he has to do what he says. He can't go back on his word. If you don't agree, I won't get up." Dian Wei was not happy. He looked like he wouldn't get up if he didn't agree.
"This…Alright, then Dian Wei, I still lack a personal guard commander. I wonder if you are willing?”Yuan Shao revealed a troubled expression as he slapped Dian Wei's arm with his right hand.
" I am willing! Dian Wei is willing to protect my lord with his life. Please rest assured that with me here, no one can hurt you." Dian Wei happily patted his chest.
"Alright! Congratulations to Big Brother for taking in another fierce general. Brother Dian, I'll leave Big Brother's safety to you in the future.”Xu Da instructed Dian Wei.
"Big Brother Xu, please rest assured. Whoever dares to harm the lord, my black iron double halberds will definitely make his blood splatter five steps away.”After saying that, Dian Wei pulled out the two halberds on his back and waved them like Yang Wei.
