Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 13

The autumn wind was bleak, and the caravan carrying heavy cargo rolled over the ancient road covered with fallen leaves, swayed from side to side, and drove forward.

In one of the carriages, a young man in civilian clothes was lying quietly on top of tall goods, his legs crossed, his face covered with a straw hat to block the sun, and beside him was a cloth tied long gun.

"I only use nunchucks, hum ha ha... quickly use nunchucks, hum ha ha..." The upturned legs of the young man in commoner clothes shook regularly with the shaking of the carriage, and the singing in his mouth fell on the ears of outsiders. Weird intonation.

"Little brother, the tune you sing is so strange. I have traveled all over the Central Plains, but I have never heard such a strange tune..." The coachman was an old man over fifty years old, and he waved his horsewhip. Looking back at the young man on the cargo, he smiled.This old man is of medium build, although his face is wrinkled, but he is kind-hearted and kind to others, otherwise he would not let this young man take the carriage along the way without charging a penny.

The young man in civilian clothes didn't get up either, he just took off the straw hat covering his face, revealing his handsome face, this young man was Chen Wei.Saying goodbye to his eldest brother Zhao Yun, he traveled day and night, and met this convoy of goods on the way. After walking for half a month, looking at the cloudless blue sky, thinking that he would be able to reach Chang'an in the near future, his heart became much brighter, and he He smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, this is a very popular song in my hometown. Young people like to sing it. Coincidentally, the guy who composed this song has the same surname as you."

Zhou Bolang laughed loudly, "Although this tune is strange, I feel itchy after listening to it for a long time. I always feel that there is a kind of... a kind of..."

"Charm?" Chen Wei smiled.

"Yes, it's the charm. The old man doesn't know a lot of big characters, so don't laugh at me. The charm, old man, I know too well, but I was lucky enough to hear those fireworks girls sing a few incense songs in Fengming Pavilion in Chang'an City. The words, with nine turns and eighteen turns, made the old man feel as comfortable as taking a hot bath, and he will never forget it for a long, long time..." Uncle Zhou waved his horsewhip, and with his eyes closed, he obviously had endless aftertaste.

"Where is this Fengming Pavilion?" Chen Wei couldn't help but sat up, looking at Uncle Zhou with interest.

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "I don't even know Fengming Pavilion, it must be the first time I've come to Chang'an City, this Fengming Pavilion is the most famous kiln in Chang'an City, dignitaries like to come here to look for flowers and willows..."

"It turned out to be a brothel." Chen Wei suddenly realized, and said to himself with interest: "I have always regretted that I never went to prostitutes before. In this era, I have to go and see the ancient romantic places..."

"Little brother, is your heart moved? But I don't have a rich family background, and this Fengming Pavilion is not so easy to enter. If you just sit down and don't order a girl, you will have to pay 50 taels for tea. If you don't order money, no one dares to go in and find a girl." Back then, the old man also went in with the boss, so he had a chance to catch a few glances. Those girls are all beautiful, and their eyes can seduce men to death..."

Chen Wei couldn't help pinching the shriveled money bag, shaking his head and smiling wryly, but thinking of Sanniang who looked like a fairy, why would he go to a brothel to find a woman?But thinking of the battle at Shouyang Mountain, he and Sanniang have been separated for two months, so I don't know how she is doing.Thinking of life in this troubled world, let alone a lowly woman, he couldn't help but start to worry about Sanniang.

"Uncle Zhou, how many days are there before Chang'an?" Chen Wei couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Don't worry, don't worry, after passing Daxing County, you can go to Chang'an City in half a day's journey!" Zhou Bo laughed.

Hearing that it only takes half a day's journey, Chen Wei feels a little relieved.

After two hours of progress, the convoy arrived in Daxing County.Daxing County is in the west of Chang’an City. The ancient Silk Road started from Chang’an, and Daxing County has become a front stop because of its geographical location. Generally, caravans returning from the Western Regions will stop in Daxing County to sort out their goods before going Enter Chang'an City.

After driving such a long distance, the grooms and merchants of the caravan temporarily stopped in Daxing County to replenish some dry food and water.

Chen Wei, carrying the "gentian silver gun", walked on the small street. Compared with Shan County where he was before, Daxing County is more prosperous, but this is just a small county in Chang'an City. When he arrives in Chang'an City, the bustling Nature wins.

Chen Wei saw clever jewelry for sale at a street stall, and although he was bitter in his pocket, he also picked out a hairpin and gave it to San Niang when he saw her.

But at this time, he only heard people talking from the teahouse next to the jewelry stall, and he didn't pay attention to it before, but when he heard the word "General Niu", he couldn't help but pause.He turned his head to look at the teahouse, only to see three men sitting around a table, drinking tea.

One of the scholars dressed in civilian clothes said: "General Niu fell in Shouyang Mountain, and 3000 people were surrounded by 8000 Zhu Jun's rebels in the canyon. Unexpectedly, he broke out and lost only [-]% of the troops... "

Sitting on the left side of the scholar was a man wearing a turban. He shook his head and said: "Although Zhu Jun rebelled against the Han, he was also a famous general of our Han Dynasty before. That Niu Fu was brave and foolish, but because he was the grand master Dong Zhuo His son-in-law became General Zhonglang, how can he defeat General Zhu Jun?"

The scholar was slightly annoyed, and said: "How can I be false? At that time, I had a brother who served under Niu Fu's command. He told me personally that there was an infantry captain named Chen Wei beside General Niu Fu. He was both wise and brave. The soldiers and horses resisted Zhu Jun's five thousand ambush before allowing General Niu's entire army to retreat, otherwise the entire army would be wiped out..."

The middle-aged man who was also dressed as a scribe sitting opposite the scholar said: "Where are there three hundred soldiers and horses? I heard that he single-handedly entered the enemy's line, and he cut Zhu Jun's deputy general Zhao Teng under the horse in just one round. , The enemy's morale was disturbed, and five thousand rebels were killed by one person, so that General Niu took the opportunity to escape."

"After this battle, Hero Chen has not been heard from, and his life and death are uncertain!"

...Chen Wei listened quietly, and heard that his story was spread in Chang'an City, and even the people in the small county knew about it, and there was a tendency to spread false rumors, and the more they spread, the more exaggerated they were.

Chen Wei couldn't help but want to ask these three people for news, "Hi, how are you doing after General Niu Fu returns to Chang'an?"

The three of them looked at Chen Wei, looked them over, and said angrily: "Niu Fu retreated with his entire army, and he would naturally be rewarded and rewarded when he returned to Chang'an. As the saying goes, the heavens are jealous of talents, Captain Chen sacrificed his life for righteousness, but the bones were not found. Niu Fu But he was appointed an official and a noble, fulfilling the name of Zhuzi."

Chen Wei lowered his head and thought to himself, thinking that since Niu Fu returned to Chang'an safely, it meant Sanniang should be fine.

"Boy, look at your travels and dust, you should come from the west. I wonder if you heard the news of the battle at Shouyang Mountain?" the scholar asked Chenwei.

Chen Wei smiled slightly, without revealing his identity, and shook his head lightly, but he didn't know.

The three people saw that Chen Wei didn't know, so they stopped talking and started talking again.

But at this time, suddenly a light cavalry ran out from the east of the county, and passers-by fled.

"It should be the generals who came out of Chang'an City. Could it be that there is another big battle?" The scholar said shaking his head.

When Chen Wei heard this, he looked up, and when he saw the leader of the cavalry, he was overjoyed and shouted at him: "Captain Tai—"
