Chapter 20: The Iron Hoof That Is About to Step

The courtyard door opened, and a small light red figure said, "Wow." She screamed and bumped into the adult who came in, and the moment she fell backwards, a pair of big hands grabbed her before she fell.

A pair of smart eyes were wide open, flickering a few times, filled with mist, and the small mouth cried out loudly. Zhang Liao was at a loss and persuaded: "Lingqi, don't cry... Don't cry... I'm Uncle Wenyuan, can you take a closer look? He crouched down and leaned over with a big face.

"Wen Yuan, don't be tricked by Lingqi." The voice was as low as a lion tiger, sounding from under a tree in the courtyard.

Before Zhang Liao could react, the little man in front of him raised his pink face, cunning flashed in his wet red eyes, and the short whiskers on his chin were gently pulled, and he stepped out of his little feet, and ran away quickly with the two small bags on his head, and threw himself into the arms of the figure in front of him.

"Look, I'll just say you're going to be tricked."

Standing there with a tall and unusual figure, gently rubbing the top of the girl's head with one palm, and pointing at Zhang Liao, who got up at the gate of the courtyard, "Lingqi, you want to call Uncle Wenyuan, he hugged you the year before last, don't you remember?" ”

"Uncle Wenyuan." The little girl screamed crisply, smiled, and looked like she wanted to cry.

Zhang Liao pointed to this little naughty, and walked over to salute: "Liao has seen the eldest brother." Under the eaves on the other side, the woman in a deep dress with her hair coiled in the back of her head walked out, and the jade bead swayed gently as she walked, plain clothes and indifferent appearance, not luxurious and amazing, and her clear eyes looked at the three people in the courtyard with a smile, "Wen Yuan is here." ”

"Liao has seen my sister-in-law." The figure under the tree arched his hand.

The woman smiled and nodded, and then beckoned to the girl over there: "Lingqi, come here, don't disturb Daddy and Uncle Wenyuan to talk about things, let's go into the house, and Niang will play with you." ”

"Good!" Lu Lingqi clapped her hands happily, made a grimace at Zhang Liao, turned around and jumped towards the house.

Here, a figure dressed in a martial arts robe, with his hair tied and wearing a crown, made a gesture of please, and sat down on his knees on the cushion, "How can Wen Yuan have free time to come to the house today, is there anything important?" A glass of cloudy wine pushed it over.

The expression on his face is casual, but there is a majesty in his gestures that force people to breathe. Zhang Liao calmed down, took the tea, and said, "The wife and brother of Lord Assassin Shi were killed by a group of horse thieves in Yanmen County a few days ago. ”

Lu Bu only said one sentence: "It's good to die." He drank it all in one gulp and put it down, "If it weren't for the bad looks of my father-in-law, a rat who only knows how to bully women, I would have killed him a long time ago." ”

"That's what I said, but after all, that's Ding Tingshi's wife and brother."

Lu Buwei's eyes froze, and his face sank, "Is this asking me to avenge that rat?" ”

On the other side, the moment Zhang Liao nodded, the tall and mighty figure stood up with a bang, and smashed his fist on the tree pole beside him, and the two hugged the thick tree, and the leaves shook and fell down.

"It's really too deceitful-" The handsome and dignified face gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Liao angrily, waving his hand violently, and his voice was like a lion tiger: "Let me introduce a martial artist to sit in the main book of the crepe, and this time let me go to suppress a group of little horse thieves, who is Lu Bu?" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly stood up, "Eldest brother is cautious, you are the righteous son of Ding Tingshi, and Hou Jie is his brother-in-law, if you use the border army to suppress a few horse thieves, I am afraid that you will be criticized. ”

At this time, Yan came over with tea, Lu Bu put away his anger and sat down again, the woman sniffed the taste, took away the pot of wine on the low table with an expressionless face, and gave her husband a blank look before leaving.

Lu Bu coughed dryly, poured tea from the empty cup, and spoke again: "Wen Yuan and that horse thief have an old relationship, right?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Liao took off a leaf that fell on his body and held it in his hand, "Last year, the Huns entered the border and robbed the border, this person took a hundred horse thieves to rob and kill the Hu people, and the fight was fierce, and he did not disturb my Han people. ”

Lu Bu didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, after all, this was the duty of the border army, and it was obviously a big fuss to use the border army for the little horse thief at the moment, not to mention that there was a personal vendetta in the middle, and he couldn't escape after all.

"If this person is really as Wen Yuan said, when the time comes, I will let him live again, and Wen Yuan will not be embarrassed."

The light was cast on the branches through the gap, the light spots were reflected on the people's bodies, the wind blew through the branches, swaying, the kneeling figure stood up, Zhang Liao bowed his hand, "Liao thanked the eldest brother first." ”

The sky dimmed, and after talking for a while, Zhang Liao said goodbye and left. The lamp illuminated the hall and the light came out of the paper window, Lu Bu pushed the door in, and saw his beast-faced head swallowing serial armor hanging on the wooden frame, Yan was gently wiping, and when she heard the movement behind her, she took the wooden basin and walked away, "The concubine knows that the husband actually wants to go out." ”

The tall figure came over, took the wooden basin from her hand and put it on the table, and grabbed the delicate body, the woman's hand patted gently behind Lu Bu's back, and her tone was gentle.

"The husband is full of martial arts, brave as a tiger, but here is like a cage, this time to go out to exterminate the horse thief, undoubtedly can make the husband's heart sorrow to be relieved, the concubine is actually happy for the husband."

Yan's words were gentle and gentle, and he raised his head from his thick arms and smiled: "Husband, don't worry about going out, the concubine will close the door and abide by the woman's way." ”

The lights reflected the heroic face, slightly open to speak, the small footsteps sounded slightly from outside the door, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth arced into a smile, the woman made a shushing movement, pulled the door inward, and the villain came in, rubbing his sideburns and shouting: "Daddy bullies people... Mother, look, Daddy is bullying people again. ”

"You were the one who sneaked around first." Yan helped her daughter up and patted the dust, "Your father is going out and needs a good rest, don't mess around today, you know?" ”

Lu Lingqi snorted, ran over and spread her little hands: "Daddy, you said last year that you wanted to give Lingqi a foal, will you give it this time?" ”

"Okay."

Lu Bu squatted down and pinched her little face: "This time, Daddy will bring you back a red foal, but you have to listen to your mother at home, and you are not allowed to dance with knives and guns, it will hurt you, if someone in the family bullies you, go to Zhang Wenyuan, you know?" ”

"Retractor?" Lingqi nodded very seriously, blinked her big watery eyes, and stretched out her little thumb and raised it.

"Pull the hook!"

Over there, the big hand reached over and hooked up with the small hand. Next to him, Yan covered his mouth, his thin eyebrows were curved, and he looked at the father and daughter with a smile.

The lights are as bright as bright, reflecting the shadow of a family of three cut on the paper window, far away to the sky, and the stars are densely paved with a Milky Way, which is dazzling. In the early morning of the next day, more than a hundred cavalrymen gathered at the city gate, and the figure holding Fang Tian's halberd glanced at the carriage parked on the side of the road.

A clamp on the horse's belly, the sound was like a tiger's roar: "Go-"

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves rose like raindrops, raising smoke and dust towards the north.

********************************************

After that, in the northern grasslands, in the blue sky, the eagle spread its wings and flew high, making a cry, under the line of sight from the overlook, hundreds of people and hundreds of people unfolded, the war horses galloped vertically and horizontally, the arrows were fired, on one side was the Huns shouting wildly, chasing the crowd in front of the rout, on the other side, the figure riding on the black horse kept switching gestures.

The muffled wolf howls around were passing.

"Let these Huns know what wolves are!" Gongsun stopped on the horseback and said.

The fleeing horse thieves scattered to the left and right, and surrounded the Hun cavalry who were rushing towards the pile in the opposite direction, the horses' hooves roared, and the startled eagles in the sky let out a vigilant chirp and flew away. Soon after, the horse's hooves splattered with blood-stained grass, and the Huns, who had left dozens of corpses, signaled their flight.

The clouds floated on the high grassland, cleaned the battlefield, and Gao Sheng rode over, "These Huns have become shrewd, and I am afraid that such ambushes will be of less and less use to them in the future......"

However, he saw the figure on the other side looking at the sky silently, and made a voice: "Chief, what are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking at ....." Gongsun Zhi's tone paused, "...... It is as if we have fallen into the trap of others.
