The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14 The Attack on White Horse City

Long-lost smiles appeared on the faces of Tarun and Zhao Yun.All the way to the front, Wang Qiang finally remembered that the horses of the two people were tied at the back of the carriage, and where did the two horses they were riding come from?The two horses looked familiar.

Long Fei looked at the two horses, one black and one white, respectively, and reached out to touch them.Hehe smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad! If you have something good, you must never let it go! How is it? No one is chasing you?"

Zhao Yun gently stroked the white horse's neck, and smiled shyly: "It ran so fast that it threw off all the pursuers. Maybe it's still looking east this time!"

Tarun was also touching the black horse, with infinite warmth in his eyes.Xianbei people have lived on horseback since they were young, and their affection for horses is by no means ordinary.It is natural to cherish such a good horse.The two horses also seemed to be dependent on Zhao Yun and Ta Lun. When Long Fei reached out to touch them, they would unconsciously take two steps back and hide their big heads behind them.

"Oh...!" Wang Wei suddenly yelled, "These two horses are the ones at the gate of the city, right? You brought them here! Amazing, amazing!"

"Hmph!" Wang Qiang snorted coldly, "What's so good about sneaking around? Hurry up, I don't want to sleep here at night." After finishing speaking, he climbed into the carriage and got in.

Once you enter Yanmen, you will enter the boundary of Bingzhou.The pedestrians on both sides of the road are mainly Han people. Although there are not too many, it is obvious that this is the place they are most familiar with compared to the endless grassland outside the Great Wall.Occasionally running into villages and towns, old people and children looked at these strangers with terrified eyes.Some even hurriedly picked up the child and ran into the house, closing the door tightly.

"Hey!" Hua Tuo sighed: "It's worse than when I left the customs. I didn't expect it to turn out like this in just two months. Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, didn't care about the life and death of the people. Hey...!"

"Bingzhou? Where is Bingzhou? Dingyuan? Is it Lu Bu's godfather?" Long Fei seems to have heard this name in the Three Kingdoms. It is said that Lu Bu was bought by Dong Zhuo and killed himself as a cheap godfather.

Wang Wei smiled and said, "Brother also knows about Ding Yuan and Lu Bu?"

"Ding Yuan doesn't know, but Lu Bu knows too well, the number one general in the world, his concubine Diao Chan is one of the four beauties!" Long Fei replied casually.

Wang Wei gave Wang Qiang a puzzled look.Wang Qiang rolled her eyes, and Wang Wei rarely spoke again.Talun's unconventional style kept attracting attention in various villages. Everyone looked at him with vigilant eyes, and also looked at Long Fei and the Han people with puzzled eyes.Hua Tuo didn't answer Long Fei's words, but looked out of the car with a sad face.The crop land was basically barren, and the few sparse crop seedlings were wilting weakly, and a slight breeze could blow them to the ground.

Several people headed south all the way, and arrived at Baima three days later.Baima is the largest village in a hundred miles.The moment he stepped into the white horse, Long Fei could only use one word to describe it, that was deserted.The wind blows in from the gate of the city, and the thatch on the street is rolled up into the sky, and it floats into the distance flickeringly.Pedestrians hurriedly covered their mouths and noses and turned their faces to prevent the blown dust from entering their mouths and noses.

The shops on the street were basically closed, and those who opened their doors were also deserted.The shopkeeper and the buddy were dozing off in the shop.Long Fei knocked hard on the counter a few times with "Bang Bang Bang".The shopkeeper made a smart move, hurriedly wiped the drool from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked listlessly at the few people.

"Stay in the hotel, or eat?" While talking, he yawned a long time.

"Don't want to do business anymore? Is this the attitude?"

"Heh!" The shopkeeper smiled slightly: "That's my attitude, I can stay if I want, and if I don't want to, please feel free, but I can tell you that there is only one inn in the whole city, and when you come back, if it is closed , you have to sleep on the street! Sleeping on the street is very dangerous!"

"Hmph, I can't live anymore, even if I sleep on the street, I won't live in your house! Let's go!" Wang Qiang pulled Wang Wei and walked out the door.The shopkeeper and the waiter had no intention of trying to keep her.

Long Fei limped to the table and sat down: "No matter if there is another inn, I will stay here today, Xiao Er, serve tea for the master!" Long Fei felt more and more that he had changed. He has become an out-and-out Han Chinese, and now he speaks more and more alike.Maybe I am a Han Chinese, and in terms of speech and habits, I am essentially no different from the people of the Han Dynasty.It should make sense that the majority of China's population defines their ethnicity as "Han".

The shopkeeper gave Xiaoer a wink, and said with a smile: "That's right, in the north, except for Xianbei people, Huns, Wuhuan people, or us Han people, no matter who comes to this Baima City, enter If you come to my Inn of the Four Clans, you have to follow our white horse rules, or else he won’t be able to come up with a white horse!”

"That's right! A strong dragon doesn't overwhelm a local snake!"

Everyone was taken aback.The shopkeeper laughed loudly, and gave Long Fei a thumbs up: "This little brother is on the right track, he is right! I like it, Xiaoer, hurry up and pour water for the guests!"

After walking all the way, without going to the village or back to the store, all relying on dry food, everyone was thirsty and tired.I ordered some food and wine casually, ate and chewed, and filled my stomach first.Long Fei burped. Although the food was not delicious, it was still warm.Several people were warm all over, eating comfortably one by one.Wang Qiang asked for a guest room and went to sleep.Hua Tuo was also getting old, and he practiced going to bed early and getting up early, so he went to the guest room in the backyard.Only Long Fei, Zhao Yun, Ta Lun, Wang Wei, and the shopkeeper were left in the inn.

The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to light the oil lamp, then put the door on the door, and sent Xiao Er back to rest.Long Fei took a look, and when Xiaoer left, he laughed and said, "It's not dark yet, why is the door closed?"

"Hey!" The shopkeeper confronted Long Fei, so he sat down at the table and talked about the white horse with Long Fei.

Baima is the first town store in the north of Bingzhou.If Yanmen is the first barrier of Bingzhou, Baima is the second.Originally, Baima was not far from Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou, and there were two cities of Shouyang and Leping around it.Even if Xianbei from the north comes in, Jinyang can quickly rescue them. The three cities rely on each other, and there is absolutely no problem in resisting the Xianbei's attack.

However, since Ding Yuan, governor of Bingzhou, suddenly led his people to leave Bingzhou years ago, the situation in Bingzhou has taken a turn for the worse.Not only the Xianbei people would break through the Yanmen Pass from time to time and enter the hinterland of the Han Dynasty to plunder.And there are countless robbers around.Xianbei's attack can still be prevented. After passing Yanmen, someone will inform that the whole city is united in the same hatred, and sometimes they can be repelled.But every time the Xianbei people left, the surrounding bandits immediately took advantage of the fire to rob them.One after another, not only the white horse, but even Shouyang and Leping are miserable.

"Does the government not care?" Zhao Yun interrupted.

The shopkeeper smiled: "Didn't I say that? Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, brought all the troops into the capital, and the state capital had no soldiers or food. Even if he wanted to take care of it, there was nothing he could do! Once Ding Yuan left, the court never sent anyone again. Our Bingzhou seems to have been abandoned by them!"

"Ding Yuan went to Beijing to seek death! According to historical development, Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu, and Bingzhou was left without an owner. Later, it seems that he was taken over by Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban Army!" After Long Fei finished speaking, Then he realized that he had said too much.

Several people stared at Long Fei with wide eyes, and they all looked at him with incredible eyes.The shopkeeper waved his hands again and again: "No, no, it's not Zhang Yan, it's Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was originally under the governor Ding Yuan. After Ding Yuan left, this Bingzhou is basically his. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to control Bingzhou, so he can only shrink back. Shangdang has no time to take care of our white horses in the north, and the surrounding bandits are even more helpless!" The shopkeeper sighed again: "However, I heard that there is also a man named Zhang Yan, who seems to be uniting with the bandits in the nearby mountains, As for the origin, I don’t know!”

"Zhang Yan and I are fellow villagers!" Zhao Yun said suddenly.

Everyone was shocked again, even Long Fei heard such words for the first time.Zhao Yun said lightly: "Zhang Yan is also our real person. I grew up with him. Zhang Yan's surname is Chu. He is very brave and fierce. He often gathers a group of people to show off in the market. When the Taiping Dao was popular in our place, Zhang Yan once sent People have looked for me, but the master didn't let me go down the mountain, I didn't expect that he really became a yellow scarf thief!"

Everyone became silent.Long Fei stared at Zhao Yun all the time, Zhao Yun lowered his head in embarrassment, as if he was a yellow scarf thief, and now he has also become a bandit.Long Fei nodded: "It seems that Changshan really has a lot of talents, one Zilong, General Changsheng, one Zhang Yan's princes, not bad, not bad!"

Suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes outside the door, the shopkeeper was shocked, and hurriedly got up and blew out the oil lamp.The whole room immediately became pitch black.The sound of horseshoes outside the door became louder and louder, as if thousands of troops passed by on the street.A few torches flashed past the window, making the faces of several people flickering.Long Fei glanced at the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper was trembling all over, huddled in a corner, motionless.

Several people stretched out their hands to their weapons.Long Fei didn't find anything, he stretched out his hand to grab a wooden stick behind the door, and held it tightly in his hand.No need to guess what happened.Long Fei poked his head out and looked out the window. With the light of the torch, Long Fei vaguely saw a dozen horses outside the door, circling back and forth on the street.

A slightly vicissitudes voice roared loudly: "Slam down all the doors for me, anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

There was another burst of noise.It should be that the door of a family was smashed open.In the silent night, I could hear clearly, some people shouted, mixed with the cries of women and children.The horse thieves laughed loudly, leaving a few to guard, while the rest threw the things in the house outside one by one.Bottles and cans slammed and rattled.
