Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 166 The scorched earth remains
Going out of Tu County in the north for more than half an hour, using the name of safari, stop and go along the way.

Zhongping is riding on a red rabbit horse, wearing a brocade robe, surrounded by people. Tea and food are ready beside him, and there are beautiful maids and servants around, accompanying the carriage and horses.

This kind of ostentatious style, Zhong Ping has lived two lifetimes, and this is the first time he has seen it carefully.

While he was secretly speechless, he couldn't help but try to figure out the "barely enough" gesture.

He waved casually, and immediately a proud servant shrank his head, held an arrow in both hands and presented it to him.

Zhong Ping coughed twice, squinted his eyes and aimed at the open space in front of the dead wood forest not far away.

He originally wanted to just make gestures and show off.

According to the plan, Zhong Ping had to be "in high spirits and disregarding obstructions" so that he could arrive at the village by chance at dusk and spend the night there.

But if you keep procrastinating like this...

When it's really night, I'm afraid it's hard to go far from Tu County.

At that time, insisting on moving forward seems more or less deliberate.

Zhong Ping was so dazed that he rested his hand on the arrow, and it didn't land for a long time.

"Lang Jun."

Wu Zhi was beside Zhongping, and gently pushed Zhongping's arm.

Before Zhong Ping could react, he let go of his hand subconsciously, and then heard a sound of flattery and flattery.

He bowed his head in response, his expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and he didn't know how to speak.

During the brief tea break when Zhongpei was lost in thought, four or five golden pheasants and lynxes fell into the empty open space.

These "prey" have exactly the same marked arrows stuck in their bodies as those used by Tanahira.

Zhongping almost laughed angrily.

He thought to himself, does he look like a three-year-old child?

Is this trying to please him, or is it humiliating him for not being good at shooting?

Zhong Ping's breath caught in his throat, neither rising nor falling. He had to swallow this breath and continue to make excuses with these people.

But after thinking about it, since this group of people regard him as a young master who is ignorant of common affairs and easy to fool, why don't he just make the mistake?

Zhong Ping exchanged a look with Wu Zhi calmly, threw the long bow in his hand to the ground, his face darkened, and he asked sternly:

"You're just deceiving and fooling me like this?! You're really disappointed! This is definitely not going to go well!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and patted Chitu's neck hard.

The red rabbit snorted suddenly, raised its hooves and ran wildly, but within a few breaths, it left these dry people far behind.

"Lang Jun! Lang Jun, wait for Yu Lang!"

Wu Zhi was so anxious that he slapped his thigh and yelled from behind at the top of his lungs, his voice so high and out of tune.

He glared at the steward full of anger: "I said my lord has a good face, but you are doing it like this? How stupid as a pig!"

As Wu Zhi spoke, his heart was beating extremely fast, and he felt that "God helped me too".

Although he used the image of a favored servant to please the manager's petty intentions, and his words were extremely cryptic to induce him, he was still worried that the other party was a person who was used to serving the county magistrate, who was used to guessing the mind of the superior.

I am afraid it will be difficult for him to fall into the trap with these few words.

Fortunately, Zhong Ping was acting as a member of the Cao clan at this time, and the more he tried his best to please him, the more uneasy and fearful he became.

In the situation where Zhong Ping was almost cold-faced all the way, except for Wu Zhi, he couldn't find a way to get close to him from other places, so Zhong Ping narrowed his eyes.

Once you are upset, you will do something irrational, which is unexpected and reasonable.

Regardless of how the steward reacted, Wu Zhi grabbed the whip prepared by the servants around him, beat the horse and drove in the direction where Zhongping left.

When passing by the end of the line, the army led by Liu Bei, he thought for a while, changed direction, crashed directly in front of Liu Bei, and hurriedly explained the conflict ahead.

"Lang Jun was so angry that he went north. If something happened on the way, how would Yu Lang deal with himself?"

Wu Zhi squeezed out tears, sobbing and wiping the corners of his eyes.

"Also ask the general to lead the army, and follow Yulang to find Mr. Lang."

When Zhong Ping and Wu Zhi went to see Liu Bei, they had already told the whole story about Tu County.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Bei saw Wu Zhi, he knew that it was Zhong Ping who had come up with a plan to escape, and now he was heading to the unknown village.

"Brother Wu, please lead the way. We will form an army to chase after you soon."

Liu Bei was at a loss for a moment in his heart at Wu Zhi's sudden crying.

When he and Wu Zhi met for the first time, the other party was Zhong Ping's assistant.

Although he didn't quite understand the other party's behavior at this time, Liu Bei didn't think about how to ask him in the future.

In his heart, since Wu Zhi is a kind of subordinate official, he must be a trustworthy person, and there must be a reason behind his behavior.

If the other party wants to say it, they will naturally say it.

If you don’t tell me, why bother to get to the bottom of it?
Wu Zhi returned the half salute, facing Liu Bei's sincere and trusting eyes, he felt a little awkward, and he almost couldn't hold back the artificial weeping on his face.

He was still wary of Liu Bei's soldiers. While he held back his tears, he still howled his concern and concern for Zhong Ping and hurriedly urged to send troops.

"Ah!"

Zhongping, who Wu Zhi kept talking about, wiped his nose and took out two or three red horse manes from his mouth.

"...When I get back to Tu County, I still have to cut your hair."

Zhongpei picked up a handful of the red rabbit's oily fur with disgust, turned over and dismounted.

He took the rein and glanced casually under the mound. There were still burnt black traces on the ground.

Not far away, you can faintly see a few wisps of cooking smoke rising from the village below.

"It should be right here."

Zhong Ping confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his path, and he felt a little more dignified.

He was about to find a path to go down the hill, but when he casually glanced at it with his peripheral vision, he noticed a strange detail.

It stands to reason that the battle between him and Hao Meng took place several months ago. During this period of time, heavy rain and strong winds raged, no matter how many traces of bloodstains, they should have faded to only a few traces.

When he saw the scorched earth for the first time, he just felt that he stayed there that day and found the right place.

Now that I realized something was wrong, after careful consideration, I couldn't help but have many doubts.

Zhong Ping squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of the dry and hard cold soil, twisted his fingers vigorously, and then moved closer to his nose and sniffed lightly.

... What a strange thing.

The blood stain seemed to have fallen just a few days ago.

A weird flat color.

From the traces on the ground here, he immediately thought of the battle with Hao Meng, and he could tell that the scale of these remaining traces was not caused by bandits.

I can't, there are people raising private soldiers in Tuxian County, who have one-third of an acre of land...

Then if I came here alone, wouldn't I just be sending someone's head a thousand miles away?
Zhong Ping shook his head, shaking all those bad thoughts from his mind.

Entrusted by others, loyal to others.

It's coming, it's coming, no matter what monsters and ghosts are in front of him, you have to see it first.
