When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 536 Lu Bu: I always feel like someone stole my words ()
While the matter of returning grain to the people was in full swing, many matters such as collecting information, arresting bandits, repairing houses, diagnosing and treating illnesses were also progressing steadily.

Whether it was the people inside the city or outside the city, they were all shocked to find that there seemed to be new changes every day.

The bandits who came from all directions disappeared, and the local thugs who were causing trouble in the area put away their rebellious expressions. Their bruised faces were filled with smiles, and whenever someone asked about the situation in their cells, the thugs would remain silent and unwilling to talk about it.

There were no more officials constantly collecting rent from the fields, but the dilapidated huts were repaired with the help of new officials.

Doctors came here in groups of three or four, led by an older doctor, who was responsible for teaching but also for diagnosing and treating illnesses.

The soldiers coming and going were afraid of disturbing the people, so not only did they not rob, they also took detours when they saw farmland.

Everything happened so bizarrely and unbelievably.

However, some accidents happened occasionally. Two soldiers from Liyang couldn't bear the depression in the army, so they sneaked out of the barracks when their superiors were not paying attention.

"Wang Wu, isn't it inappropriate for you and I to sneak out of the military camp? The three generals have repeatedly emphasized that anyone who sneaks out of the military camp will be punished by military law. Even if he doesn't die, he will be severely punished!" The man named Zhao Liu frowned, and his ordinary face was full of sorrow.

Wang Wu just felt that Zhao Liu was too noisy. He spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, "You've already slipped out. What's the point of saying this! Your legs are on your body! I didn't force you! Didn't you say that General Wei was confused? He actually planned to give chickens and ducks to the people!"

Zhao Liu smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth.

The two men subconsciously crouched and tiptoed through the fields, looking around from time to time, fearing that there were pursuers behind them, and their frightened appearance was like a guilty thief.

"Two heroes in front!"

A voice pierced into the ears of Wang Wu and Zhao Liu like a sharp arrow. The two men froze in place. They twisted their necks stiffly and looked at each other, each seeing a look of astonishment on each other's face.

Oh no! We've been discovered! Run or...
Even Zhao Liu, who had a worried look on his face just now, now looked fierce, just as the two were about to take action.

The voice behind me sounded again.

"Are these two heroes soldiers of General Wei?"

Ok?
Wang Wu and Zhao Liu were slightly stunned. From the tone and voice, it seemed that he was an elderly person.
The two of them looked back and saw, as expected, an old man with gray hair and a hoe.

Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in the minds of Wang Wu and Zhao Liu. Zhao Liu took a deep breath and responded, "Yes, we are General Wei's soldiers!"

As soon as these words came out, the old man's wrinkled face forced out a bright smile, "Okay, okay, okay. Two good men, if you don't mind, you can move to my house."

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu looked at each other, unable to hide the joy on their faces.

I wanted to find a place to have fun for a few days, but now it’s great. Someone brought me a pillow when I feel sleepy!
However, the two of them still declined, "Father, this is not good."

"What's wrong with that? If it weren't for General Wei, I wouldn't have a house to shelter me from the wind and rain! Don't refuse, my two heroes!"

"This"

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu were a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a few breaths, they smiled helplessly and said, "Then I'll trouble you, old man."

However, what Wang Wu and Zhao Liu failed to notice was that the father-in-law winked at his son who was working in the field, and the son quickly understood. He pretended not to know the father-in-law and passed by him. The son walked a few hundred steps before looking back and making sure that Wang Wu and Zhao Liu were far away, then he started running towards a certain place.

The villagers saw how anxious he was and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

"My father met two soldiers of the general. I will go to the army to ask them if they are the real ones. Don't let them know!"

The villagers were all stunned. With the incident of Yuan Shu before them, they were very sensitive about soldiers. Of course, they believed that Liu Bei's army would never rob and plunder like Yuan Shu, but they were afraid that the other side was a thief in disguise!
The head of the pavilion called an emergency meeting.

"What do you think?"

"How about waiting for someone from the army?"

"Wait until the army arrives? How can we wait in time?"

"I think it's better to take a few people with us and capture those two!"

"According to the description of the villagers, those two people don't look like bandits. What if they are General Wei's soldiers? Wouldn't that mean they are wrongly accusing good people?"

"They don't look like bandits, but they look like soldiers! I think those two are definitely not General Wei's soldiers!"

Everyone was talking at once, expressing their own opinions and arguing endlessly.

In the end, it was the captain who made the decision. "Since we can't tell whether those two are General Wei's soldiers, why don't we just treat them as General Wei's soldiers for the time being? Then you and I will call some villagers to warmly welcome them. Under so many eyes, I don't think they will dare to attack. This way, we can delay time until the soldiers arrive."

Father Ting and Qiu Dao were slightly stunned. After a moment, they nodded repeatedly, "Great, great, great."

"You two, please, please take a seat."

After the father-in-law brought Wang Wu and Zhao Liu into the house, he went straight to the chicken coop without stopping, without any free time at all.

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu naturally understood the father-in-law's intention. The father-in-law kept talking all the way. He started from how his son was conscripted by Yuan Shu to Liu Bei's attack on Shouchun. When he mentioned Yuan Shu, the father-in-law was filled with hatred, and when he talked about Liu Bei, he burst into tears.

If they hadn't just arrived home, neither of them would have had any doubts and the father-in-law would have been able to continue talking.

As for my father-in-law's chicken coop, it was because my father-in-law's family suffered from Yuan Shu's rebellion, during which his wife was killed, so the chickens and the chicken coop were a small compensation.

When Wang Wu and Zhao Liu heard that Liu Bei gave the Qianshou chicken as a gift, the two men, who had already criticized the strict military law, completely exploded, so they sneaked out of the camp while their superiors were not paying attention.

But when they heard the old man's muttering with their own ears, and saw with their own eyes how the old man, who had only a few pieces of furniture, persisted in getting eggs for them, they personally felt the old man's enthusiasm for their identity as "soldiers of the general's guard."

Zhao Liu, who had been shouting that he wanted to eat chicken, was a little confused for a moment, "Wang Wu, do you want me to go first?"

"." Wang Wu's expression was equally complicated, and he was also hesitant about this matter, but he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly: "I'm here, but I don't get to eat the eggs. Isn't this a big loss?!"

When his father-in-law brought the cooked meal, Wang Wu didn't know how to pick up his chopsticks.

The old man asked in confusion: "Why don't you two heroes eat?"

Both Wang Wu and Zhao Liu fell silent. They looked at their own bowls and then at Laozhang's bowl. Their bowls were filled with shelled corn rice, and there were even several cooked eggs placed beside the bowls, while Laozhang's bowl contained unshelled wheat rice.

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu felt a complicated feeling in their hearts. Since they followed Wu Jing, they thought they had seen a lot of things, but this was the first time they had encountered such a thing. They were really at a loss.

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps approached the narrow courtyard, which made Wang Wu and Zhao Liu instantly alert.

They have been soldiers for many years and think they are much stronger than the villagers.

But two fists are no match for four hands, and a tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves!
If the villagers picked up hoes, even if they were old men with unsteady steps, they would have no choice but to run away!

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu arched their backs, ready to escape at any time.

But something unexpected happened again. "Excuse me. Excuse me, are you two soldiers of General Wei?"

The voice sounded low and hoarse, but it sounded so kind to Wang Wu and Zhao Liu. In an instant, they put aside the idea of ​​escaping.

The tense muscles of the two men gradually relaxed. They stood up and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw groups of three or five people walking towards them, including elderly people and injured young people.

Although they were of different ages, they all had something in their hands, including bacon, fat, and corn.
Wang Wu and Zhao Liu stood there in a daze. At this moment, they just nodded and replied casually: "Yes, we are General Wei's soldiers."

They believed that these people would welcome them with the greatest enthusiasm.

However, they found themselves unable to do anything more than simply nod.

There seems to be a voice in my heart that keeps shouting, you don’t deserve it.

It was the father-in-law who stood up and said, "These two heroes should be General Wei's soldiers."

Although everyone was a little confused, they temporarily entertained Wang Wu, Zhao Liu and Liu Bei's soldiers.

Soon after, a series of horse hoof sounds startled the people in the courtyard. They were all as if they were facing a great enemy, fearing that Yuan Shu would make a comeback.

Under the nervous gazes of the crowd, the burly warrior with a leopard head and round eyes and the big man with a jujube-colored face and phoenix eyes pushed open the gate and walked into the yard.

The old man's son jumped out from behind the big man and introduced, "Father, brothers and elders, these two are the duboss in General Wei's army, named Jian Fei and Jian Yu. After I reported that I encountered General Wei's soldiers on the road in the village, the two duboss rushed over without stopping."

"It turns out to be Uncle Jian Fei and Uncle Jian Yu." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike everyone else, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu's hearts were in their throats, and their eyelids were twitching wildly. The villagers didn't recognize him, so how could they not recognize him?

The two people in front of me are not just any old men!
Judging from their looks and aura, they are clearly General Wei’s second and third brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!

They wanted to sneak out of the camp quietly and come back quietly.

Who would have thought that this would lead to a big problem! He actually slipped in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei! Didn't this just hit the muzzle of the gun? !

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu were so sad that they had no tears left, so they didn't even notice Wu Jing and Liu Yao standing outside the courtyard.

Wu Jing had a gloomy face, as if covered with dark clouds. Liu Yao, on the other hand, was holding back his smile, glancing at his old rival from time to time, his eyes full of gloating.

They obeyed Liu Bei's orders, but the responsibility of disciplining the soldiers was still their own. Zhang Fei was only responsible for supervising the army of more than 100,000.

Today, Guan Yu led a large army to Shouchun. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei went to greet them. When Zhang Fei led Guan Yu back to the army, there was news that some soldiers had slipped out of the camp.

It just so happens that these two soldiers are from Liyang!
Wouldn't this be a slap in the face of Zhang Fei right in front of Guan Yu? !

At that moment, Wu Jing's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and his vision went dark. If Sun Ben hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground accidentally!

What’s even more annoying is that Liu Yao also found out about this.

Not only did he get slapped in the face by Zhang Fei, but he would also be laughed at by Liu Yao!

Wu Jing wanted to kill Wang Wu and Zhao Liu!

As if they sensed Wu Jing's anger, or perhaps they were afraid of Zhang Fei, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu's legs softened, and they fell to their knees with a thud, "Second Master Jian, we know we were wrong!"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "Get up!"

Wang Wu did not dare to delay and quickly got up.

The head of the pavilion and the common people were confused. These two people were indeed the soldiers of General Wei? So why did they call them wrong?

"What's your fault?" Guan Yu snorted coldly.

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu hurriedly said, "Uncle Du! Uncle Du! We shouldn't have sneaked out of the camp without permission. We shouldn't have coveted the chicken. We are ashamed of the trust of you and your father-in-law. We shouldn't have said that we are General Wei's soldiers. We are ashamed. We don't deserve the villagers' hospitality!"

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows, scaring Wang Wu and Zhao Liu so much that they trembled immediately.

Through the micro-expressions of Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, Zhang Fei could tell that the two were not lying, but not lying was not a reason to let them off easily.

He cleared his throat. "The army has its own laws. You can't just admit your mistakes. According to military law, you will be lashed thirty times. After your wounds heal, you will be put in solitary confinement."

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu's faces turned pale instantly. Zhang Fei was the third most powerful general in the world. Could their bodies withstand Zhang Fei's whipping?

I regret sneaking out of the camp!

It was a pity that it was too late to say anything at this time. Wang Wu and Zhao Liu gritted their teeth, clasped their fists and said, "We are willing to accept the punishment."

Zhang Fei ordered his guards to bring a rope, and just as he was about to do it, Guan Yu leaned close to his ear and reminded him, "Third brother, don't beat him to death. The crime is not punishable by death, the crime is not punishable by death."

"Second brother, don't worry."

After Zhang Fei gave an affirmative answer, he ordered his guards to bring a bench and asked Wang Wu and Zhao Liu to lie down on it.

After everything was ready, Zhang Fei raised the whip and whipped Wang Wu and Zhao Liu. The severe pain made Wang Wu and Zhao Liu wail.

The scene before them made the people a little confused. Would they be whipped for sneaking out of the camp? In the past, Yuan Jun would only be punished symbolically even if he caused a death in the village, not to mention being whipped for sneaking out.

No wonder. No wonder General Wei’s soldiers never disturbed them. It turns out that military law is strict!
What the people did not expect was yet to come. After whipping Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, Zhang Fei announced a major news, "The emperor has given the right to judge the thief Yuan to General Wei. Tomorrow at noon, General Wei will judge the thief Yuan in public at Caishikou. Don't miss it!"

This statement immediately caused an uproar.

On the other side, Zhang Qichi, who had rushed to Shouchun, met Liu Bei and then returned to his tent, when he was told that someone wanted to see him.

Hearing the name of the person who wanted to see him, Zhang Qichi was stunned and said quickly, "Please come in quickly!"

Soon a familiar figure appeared in front of Zhang Qichi, and Zhang Qichi said the name of the visitor, "Zhang Baique"

"Your Majesty." Zhang Baique bowed to Zhang Qichi.

Zhang Qichi hurriedly helped Zhang Baique up, "No need to call me the king. I have been a gangster for so many years. Now I am no longer a gangster. You don't need to call me the king. By the way, Baique, why are you here?"

"I joined General Guan's army and followed General Guan." Zhang Baique changed the subject, "No, Sima Zhang, why did you suddenly join General Wei?"

Facing Zhang Baique's question, Zhang Qichi sighed and said, "It's not that I voted for General Wei. I'm a spy."
