The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 26 026 Young Xu Sheng
Xu Sheng, courtesy name Wenxiang, was born in Juxian County, Langye, and was a famous general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

When Zhang Yan heard the masked man self-reported his family name and his name, the words recorded in the history books quickly flashed through his mind.

However, Zhang Yan was very puzzled, why did Xu Sheng appear here?

"Are you really Xu Sheng?" Zhang Yan asked again in disbelief.

"Do you want to change your name or surname when you are a real man? Besides, I am not a celebrity, so what can I pretend to be?" Xu Sheng said.

After Zhang Yan heard it, he was basically convinced that this person was Xu Sheng.It's just that Xu Sheng is still a young man now, Wu Guo doesn't have a butt shadow yet, and he can't even talk about a famous general.At best, it's just a dumbass.

In addition, Xu Sheng had tattoos on his face, so he should have been tattooed.In other words, Xu Sheng had violated the law before, and after being arrested, he had his face tattooed and then painted with charcoal to represent the sign of the crime, which could not be wiped off in the future.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Xu Sheng put on the mask.

"I'm asking you, do you really not know your master's name?" Zhang Yan asked again.

"I really don't know."

"Then where is your master, you should know very well, right?"

Xu Sheng nodded.

"Can you tell me?"

"Futu Temple!"

"Futu Temple? What kind of place is that? Where is it?"

Xu Sheng said lightly: "I'm in Xiapi! This strong man, are you sure you won't kill me?"

"You have such good skills, it would be a pity to kill you. Let's go!" Zhang Yan waved his hand.

Xu Sheng cupped his hands at Zhang Yan and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the strong man for not killing me. However, if I can't complete the task, I will definitely be tortured by the master after I go back. I can't live or die. Instead of doing this, it's better for me to die here!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Sheng bent down to pick up the short blade on the ground, and pierced fiercely into his heart.

It was too late, but it was too late, Zhang Yan jumped over with a stride, stretched out his long arms, a pair of big hands grabbed Xu Sheng's wrists in time, snatched the short blade off in an instant, and threw it aside.

Xu Sheng was already disheartened, but he didn't want Zhang Yan to stop his suicide, so he looked at Zhang Yan with puzzled eyes and said, "Strong man, you..."

"Ants are still alive, let alone people? I don't kill you, I just don't want you to die, I want to give you a chance to reform. Since you are so willing to spare your life, from now on, your life belongs to me All right, you can only die when I let you die!"

Xu Sheng frowned and asked, "I'm just a slave, you...why do you treat me so well?"

"Because you deserve my kindness to you."

For a moment, Xu Sheng's eye sockets were moist, and the crystal tears kept rolling in the eye sockets. Finally, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhang Yan saw that Xu Sheng was crying bitterly, and some of the monks at Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. He looked at Xu Sheng who was crying like a child, and didn't know how to comfort him.

Suddenly, Xu Sheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly to Zhang Yan, and said excitedly: "Master, please accept Xu Sheng's worship!"

Zhang Yan couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly asked, "What did you call me just now?"

"Master! From now on, you will be my master, Xu Sheng!"

Xu Sheng grew up in a poor family, but he likes guns and sticks, is righteous, and loves to fight injustice. At the age of 15, in order to avenge a friend, he wounded a local bully. After being captured by the army, he was tortured as a tattoo and exiled to Jiaozhi.Walking near Xiapi, he was rescued by a mysterious man, who hid him in the Futu Temple, and received cruel training with other friends of the same age, and only then did he acquire his current agility.

In the past few years, Xu Sheng didn't eat well, didn't wear warm clothes, and was punished by his master if he spoke carelessly. No one cared about his life or death.He also only thought that he was dead, living like a walking corpse.

Zhang Yan's few words this time made him feel unprecedented warmth, and he also felt that Zhang Yan was a person who really cared about his life and death, even his suicide was prevented.With a single word to wake up the dreamer, Xu Sheng felt as if a bright light had shone into his dark world, and the bright light became bigger and bigger, gradually covering his whole body and giving him light.

Zhang Yan originally intended to recruit Xu Sheng, so he let him go on purpose, so that Xu Sheng would remember his kindness, and it would be easier to persuade him to submit to him when they meet next time.But what he didn't expect was that Xu Sheng took the initiative to surrender to him, which made him a little overjoyed.

"Get up and talk!" Zhang Yan hurriedly supported Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "If you don't agree to be my master, I will kneel here and never get up!"

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Idiot, if I ask you to get up, I naturally agree to be your master. It's cold in the ground, get up quickly!"

Xu Sheng laughed foolishly, and immediately stood up from the ground.

Looking at such a dramatic scene, Mi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little funny. Just now, the two were sworn enemies, but now they have become two masters and servants.

Seeing that the crisis was gone, she walked to Zhang Yan's side, glanced at Xu Sheng at the same time, and said with a smile: "You two are so interesting, you were fighting and killing just now, but now you feel sorry for each other... ..."

Zhang Yan also felt that this incident was a bit dramatic, but life is a big drama, and it is really a coincidence that there is such a plot.

Xu Sheng picked up the iron mask from the ground, and was about to put it on, but was stopped by Zhang Yan: "From now on, you don't have to wear this mask anymore."

"But master, I have words on my face..."

"People are not sages and sages. Even if you have received tattoo punishment, that is the past. You have to go on your own way. You can't hide behind a mask for the rest of your life, right? I remember, There was a hero named Yingbu in history. He was tattooed just like you. But he never wore a mask, and he was named king later..."

"Master, I have heard people talk about Yingbo's deeds. I think I understand what the master means." Xu Sheng interrupted Zhang Yan's words, and at the same time threw the iron mask in his hand directly into the bonfire, "From now on From now on, I will never wear a mask again, I want to be like Yingbu, a man of indomitable spirit!"

"Very good, that's right. By the way, you just said that you came from the Futu Temple?"

"Ah."

"So in this temple, are there many people like you?" Zhang Yan boldly guessed.

"That's right. Master, how did you know?" Xu Sheng didn't tell Zhang Yan about the situation in Futu Temple, but Zhang Yan was able to guess it, which made him feel very puzzled.

Zhang Yan frowned, and asked carefully: "Then, besides you, how many other people like you are there in Futu Temple?"

"About three hundred." Xu Sheng replied truthfully.

"How much do you know about your master?"

"Little is known, the master seldom meets us, and even if he does, he always wears a mask. Although we don't know the master, the master knows us. The master saved us and trained us, so that we can give When he works, he often assassinates some wealthy businessmen, robs some merchants, and turns over all the money he robbed to the master. Every time he completes a task, the master will reward us with a delicious meal and wine. If we fail mission, all that awaits us is punishment.”

Zhang Yan asked: "Since that's the case, why are you willing to stay there and be driven by others? If you work together, you can definitely escape and walk away."

"Master, you don't know. Each of us will be forced to take a poison before entering the Futu Temple. This poison is chronic. It will attack once every six months. When the attack occurs, the skin will fester first, and then The internal organs will turn into a puddle of blood in the end. Only the owner of the Futu Temple has the antidote, even if he escapes, it will not help."

"So, isn't it true that you have also been poisoned by this kind of poison?" Zhang Yan asked nervously.

"Well. But it doesn't matter, anyway, I should have died a long time ago, and it doesn't matter when I die."

"It's not the same! You are young, what are you talking about? You still have a good time to enjoy. Maybe you will become a generation of famous generals like Yingbo in the future. It will be a matter of time before you become a marquis and a prime minister... "

Having said this, Zhang Yan suddenly stopped. He felt that no matter how much he said, he would be powerless. Once Xu Sheng's body became poisoned, he would have nothing to say.

"How long have you been away from poisoning?"

Xu Sheng replied: "I'm lucky. Before I come to perform this task, I just took the antidote, so I still have half a year."

Zhang Yandao: "Don't worry, within half a year, I will definitely try my best to remove the poison from your body..."

"Master cares about me so much, I really don't know what to say!" Xu Sheng was moved in his heart, and the circles of his eyes turned red again.

"A big man who knows how to cry when he has nothing to do, is he ashamed..." Mi Zhen sneered.

"I want you to take care of it!" Xu Sheng retorted.

Mi Zhen snorted coldly, and said: "Since you have turned hostility into friendship, shouldn't we set off as soon as possible and return to Tancheng?"

"It's hard to travel at night, why don't you rest here overnight, and it won't be too late to start tomorrow morning." Zhang Yan said.

So, the three of them spent the night quietly in the Earth Temple. At dawn the next day, Zhang Yan ordered Xu Sheng to go outside to fetch the horses. He and Xu Sheng both jumped on the horses, and each rode .

Seeing this, Mi Zhen felt upset, and asked with a stern face: "Each of you rides a horse, what should I ride?"

Zhang Yan stretched out his long arms, hugged Mi Zhen onto the horse's back, and said with a smile: "You ride with me!"

"You let me go, I don't want to ride with you, let me go, you big devil!" Mi Zhen tried hard to break free, but unfortunately she couldn't break free no matter what.

Zhang Yan laughed twice, wrapped his arms around Mi Zhen's small waist, put her directly in front of him, then passed his arms under her armpit, grabbed the horse's rein, and "drive" With a loud shout, the horses under the seat galloped out.

Riding a horse is very different from riding a carriage. Mi Zhen can intuitively see that the ground is shaking. It was the first time she was riding a horse and broke out in a cold sweat. She tightly grasped the horse's mane with both hands, leaning against Zhang Yan's strong chest, mouth He kept yelling: "You big devil, let me down quickly, otherwise, I can't spare you!"

Zhang Yan said with a chuckle: "My eldest lady, just stop talking a few words, your ears are almost calloused by you, and when you arrive in Tancheng, you can do whatever you want, I don't bother to care about you!"

"Okay, that's what you said! When we get to Tancheng, let's see how I deal with you!"

Xu Sheng followed Zhang Yan every step of the way, and when he heard the two arguing, he just laughed foolishly.I don't know why, but he was also very happy in his heart. He suddenly felt that the outside world was so wonderful...
