Chapter 17 Chapter 15 Yuenan Beauty

Xuande and others who left in a hurry went back to the private house first, burned all the private letters, documents, etc. as waste paper, packed them in a hurry, and prepared to leave the place that night. Zhang Fei also strongly agreed with abandoning his official position and leaving.He summoned the only soldiers and servants under his command, and said: "My lord suddenly had some ideas this time, and planned to resign as a county lieutenant and live a leisurely and comfortable life for the time being. Therefore, those of you who have a place to stay, go home. Those who have no place to stay, follow the lord, even if you are sick, you can’t leave it behind, share the joys and sorrows.”

Some people left freely with what they should have got; others stayed behind and followed Xuande no matter the ends of the world. As night fell, a group of twenty or so people loaded their belongings into the carriage, left Anxi County, where they worked, and disappeared into the dark night. Let's talk about postage.Not long after he was beaten, his subordinate officials came forward and carried him into the county government building to help him heal his injuries.He suffered burning pain from whiplashes all over his body, developed a high fever, and was unconscious for a long time. When he got better, he yelled like he was talking in his sleep: "Where is the county captain Xuande?!"

The people on the side told him: Xuande took off the official seal and hung it around your neck, and left after saying a few words.I heard that he had fled with his own people tonight. Upon hearing this, Du You said, "What!? Escaped? So that guy named Zhang Fei..." "yes." "You, you are so dawdling, why don't you let them go safely... Hurry... Hurry up and send someone, urgently!" "Sent to the capital?" "Bastard! Is there still time to send people to the capital!? Send people to the prefect of Zhongshan (between Baoding and Zhengding, Hebei Province)."

"Oh. Send someone to say something?" "It is said that Xuande often abused the people. During the inspection by the imperial emissary, Xuande was afraid of the incident, so he used violence against the imperial emissary in an attempt to incite the good people to plot chaos, but the matter was discovered by the officials early on, so they led their men into the dark night and abandoned the official wantonly. escape..." "Yes, I understand." "Slow! It can't just be like this. Urge them to send fast soldiers, hunt down Xuande and others, and escort them to the capital."

"Take orders!" The fast horse galloped to Zhongshan Mansion. "Oh, big deal!" The prefect of Zhongshan was afraid of the name of the emissary, cleverly catered to the sophistry of the governor, and sent spies to go around to find where Xuande was staying. After a few days.There is a report: "I don't know who, carrying the family's wealth in a carriage, and more than a dozen entourages, went northward from Chaodaizhou (now Daixian County, Shanxi) in Anxi County. Three of them were riding on horses, looking like wandering warriors. " "It's Xuande. Tie me up and escort him to the capital!"

The prefect of Zhongshan immediately sent about 200 armored soldiers to chase Xuande and his party in two ways. To the north, to the north, the figure of the fugitive hurried along with the chariots and horses. How many times were soldiers and horses from various states attacked, how many times they fell into the trap of chasing soldiers, and after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, they finally came to the foot of Wutai Mountain in Daizhou. "Zhang Fei, I followed your guidance here. Is there any place to stay? I have already arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai."

Guan Yu asked.Xuande seemed to be thinking about it, and asked together: "Where do you want to end up?" "Don't worry!" Zhang Fei said hopefully.When he came to a peaceful village at the foot of the mountain, he said, "Everyone, wait here for a while and rest your horses and horses." After finishing speaking, he left alone, and came back soon, telling everyone: "Master Liu agrees. Don't worry, everyone, just take the big boat." "Master Liu? Where are you from and what do you do?" "He's the big landowner of the place. Well, there's nothing wrong with treating him like a big squire. It's commonplace to keep a hundred or eighty diners in the house. So he won't mind taking care of twenty of us. And, He is highly respected in the local area, and his home is the best place for us to hide temporarily."

"That's really desirable. What's your relationship with him?" "Don't look at Mr. Liu who lives in seclusion in the countryside now, and regards himself as a hermit in Yuenan. In the past, he was related to my old master Hong's family. He served as an adviser for the Hong family's military rations and horses. He has been in contact with the old master Hong's family. At that time, I gave Hong When the family was a vassal, I also accepted his kindness. After the Hong family perished, my wine money, the placement of the survivors, etc., were actually bothering him."

"I see. If the twenty of us bring diners again, Mr. Liu will probably frown." "No. He likes to roam the world very much. I'll tell you about my eldest brother's family background and the fact that our rebels abandoned their official positions. He is very sophisticated and understands us very well. He said that he can stay for two or three years. " Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Xuande felt relieved and said, "Such a family can live here." After speaking, follow Zhang Fei's guidance and set off. Soon, a majestic earth wall appeared beside the sparse forest at the foot of the mountain.While accompanying Xuande and the others, Zhang Fei said proudly as if boasting of his own house: "That's the mansion. How about it, it's simply a mansion of a wealthy family."

Xuande suddenly reined in his horse, and saw a road next to the mansion, with apricot trees planted beside the road, and a beautiful woman who was rarely seen in remote areas was passing by on a white horse.Behind the white horse, followed by a book boy, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping, carrying a guqin on his shoulder, serving the beauty. "Hey, I seem to have seen it somewhere..." Xuande suddenly felt. Despite the distance, it left a wonderful impression. Of course, I have been living a life of killing on the battlefield and wandering from a remote place, so I feel that the women in the distance are more beautiful.

Beauty soon entered the gate of the huge mansion within the walls. Zhang Fei just said: "That's Master Liu's mansion." Could it be that she is the daughter of the Liu family?Liu Bei imagined it alone. After a while, Xuande and his party also came to this gate.He parked the car, got off his horse, and looked at his travel dust. It is said that the owner likes wandering people and often feeds many diners.What kind of person is he?Before meeting, Xuande and Guan Yu couldn't help but imagine all kinds of things. Follow Zhang Fei's guidance to Nanyuan guest house.It's as leisurely as a paradise here.Rather than saying that the master likes wandering people, it is better to say that he gives people the feeling of an elegant person, and he loves romance even more in his heart. After a while, the owner Liu Hui came out to say hello: "Ah, I am the owner Liu Hui here. Welcome to come from afar. I have heard about your situation just now from Zhang Fei. Please don't be restrained and live as you like. You can stay here for a year or two. All right. It’s just a remote place, so there’s nothing to entertain. However, there’s plenty of wine.” Zhang Fei said, "Thank you! As long as you have wine, you can live for as many years as you want." He already felt luxurious. Liu Bei asked to stay for a while, and respectfully said: "Thanks for taking care of me!" Guan Yu also reported his name and hometown, admiring his future friendship. Mr. Liu was calm and reticent. He summoned his servants and vacated the Nanyuan guest house as a residence for three people. After giving orders, he went back. "How about it, are you still at ease?" Zhang Fei asked, with a proud look on his face. "It's too down-to-earth." Guan Yu smiled, pointing out Zhang Fei's alcoholism, "Don't show your eyes!" the following year.on spring. Under Wutai Mountain, the village is peaceful.Liu Hui, a local tyrant, also served as the village head.Therefore, there are neither evil officials nor bandits here. However, being too safe made Zhang Fei and Guan Yu miserable.They are tired of the easy life.Quite different from them, Xuande has been unusually reticent recently, often appearing to be dreaming. "Brother, has he started to think about going to war again recently? The man of the hour lost his energy all of a sudden." Guan Yu asked once. "No, no, he doesn't want to go to war." Zhang Fei shook his head. "Then he is the mother who misses his hometown?" "Maybe it's a little bit. However, there are other reasons. I realized this, so I deliberately didn't meet him face to face." "Oh, there's another reason." "Yes." Zhang Fei said displeased. Looking at Zhang Fei's expression, Guan Yu remembered: Recently, the pear blossoms in Nanyuan are in full bloom, and the spring moon shines at night, like a colorful rosy cloud, which is extremely beautiful.A beauty more beautiful than the moon often lingers under the pear blossoms.At this time, Xuande's figure will disappear in the guest house without anyone noticing. After hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu also guessed a bit.After that, Guan Yu paid more attention to Xuande's whereabouts. One night a few days later.The hazy moon is extraordinarily enchanting.The night fog shrouded Mount Wutai, painting the fields silvery white and hazy. "Oh, when..." Guan Yu found something and said to himself. Three people are sitting around the dining table.Zhang Fei drank non-stop as usual, and Guan Yu also drank with him with a glass.After a while, Xuande went out of the house, leaving only the utensils and wine cups behind. right!I'm going to follow him tonight.Guan Yu thought to himself, but walked out of the house quickly without telling Zhang Fei. He tiptoed along the path under the white pear blossoms in Nanyuan, looking around. It is already close to the depths of the inner garden.Lin Quanying could see the lights in the living room of the owner Liu Hui and his family on the opposite side. "Oh, I won't go any further..." Guan Yu stood still for a while, and found someone walking by in the nearby forest.Taking a closer look, it is the young beauty of this family, some kind of niece of Liu Hui. "Ha ha……" Guan Yu confirmed his premonition, but felt a chill in his heart.He has always avoided and ignored the inside story of something, the privacy of others, and the like.But this time, he finally quietly followed others. For a moment, the so-called niece of Liu Hui, that beauty stood under the moon, charming and charming.There is no shade of trees or shadows around. On the wide lawn, only the night dew shines like falling gems. A figure suddenly stood up on the pear blossom path.A young man hiding among flowers. "Oh, it's Xuande!" "Hibiscus!" The two met and smiled at each other. Immediately leaning on each other, Xuande said: "You are out!" "Hey." Furong replied, lowering her head. The two hugged each other shoulder to shoulder and walked towards the pear forest. "Liu Hui is a very strict person in this regard... He is warm to diners and heroes, but he is terribly strict to his family members... So... Even if he comes to the garden like this, he has to work hard." "Yes. Anyway, there are dozens of diners like us. I am the same. I live in the same room with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Their eyes are bright. It is not easy to carry them out. .” "why?" "Ok?" "You all work so hard, why do you always want to come here at night?" "I'm asking, too. I'm also incredulous about how I'm feeling." "The moon is so beautiful!" "Summer and autumn are full of moonlight, but this moment is even better! It's like dreaming." Under the pear blossoms, the two lingered on the trail without getting tired.I know I'm dreaming, but I'm chasing after it. Guan Yu witnessed with his own eyes that the beauties of this family and Xuande had become partners sharing the whispers of the spring night, and he was very shocked and embarrassed. "Ah, Taiping has eroded ambitions!" He sighed. Seeing something he didn't want to see, Guan Yu hurried back from the pear grove in the back garden.He glanced at the room where the dining table was placed in the guest house, and Zhang Fei was still pouring his own drink there. "Hey!" "Oh, where have you been?" "Still drinking?" "If you don't drink, what else can you do? There's nothing to do. There's no time, no wind and clouds, and the dragon can only dive into the bottom of the abyss. How about you also dive into the wine?" "Have a drink. In fact, the wine just woke up." "What's the matter?" "Zhang Fei..." "what." "Like you, I am not so pessimistic about the current state of the world and the lack of opportunity. However, I am completely disappointed tonight.... I have always believed that hiding in the wild and diving in the abyss, one day the dragon will catch the wind and cloud, But……" "You look very disappointed!" "Continued Cup!" "It's rare for you to drink like this." "Let's talk after drinking." "what?" "Actually, I saw someone else's secret today." "secret?" "That's right. Just now you made your words seem like a mystery. When Xuande went out tonight, I quietly followed him. So what happened?... Ah, I couldn't bear to say it. I didn't expect him to be so weak man of!" "What the hell did you see?" "I don't know if it's true or not. He actually had a tryst with the beauty named Fu Rong who was raised in a deep boudoir! The two fell in love at some point. He was the leader of our rebel army, but his heart was stolen by a woman. What is the system?!" "You mean this." "You knew it before?" "Vaguely." "why did not you tell me!" "It's all good, what else can I do!?" Zhang Fei muttered to himself with disappointment.He propped his face with his hands, and poured the wine with one hand alone, saying: "Heroes and heroes, after a long time in the hotbed of peace, they will become moldy, and they will become like him." "Once the unfulfilling depression is vented to this aspect, people will be ruined... Also, isn't that woman a woman!? She's not Liu Hui's own daughter, so who is she?" "I feel very shameless when you ask." "Oh, why are you losing face?" "...Actually, um, that Miss Furong is the daughter of my old master Hong's family. Liu Hui also has a close relationship with the Hong family. So, the old master Hong's family is not far behind, so I will bring Miss Furong to the Liu family, please. He hid it for me." "What? Then she is the daughter of your old master?" "That was a few years before we became sworn brothers. Miss Furong and Xuande were hunted down by yellow bandits, and they were both in danger. By chance, the two met under an ancient pagoda in a certain place. They have known each other for a long time. .” "Oh, so it turned out to be..." Guan Yu was dumbfounded.At this time, footsteps came from outside the house. It is the owner Liu Hui. Liu Hui looked at the situation in the house and said, "Excuse me." With the consent of the two, Liu Hui entered the house and discussed: "There is something very troublesome. In a few days, the inspector of Luoyang and the prefect of Zhongshan will come to inspect this place. I will give them a place to stay in my mansion." .Of course, you will be found hiding here. You have to move to another hiding place for temporary shelter, otherwise there will be danger." It's a coincidence.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt helpless for a while, thinking that this was God's punishment for their laziness, and said: "Oh, I have been staying at the mansion for a long time. Even if this does not happen, I will need to change my luck at this time." .Anyway, the three of us will get back to you after discussing it." "It's too embarrassing for you... If you can't think of a place to stay, there is a safe place to live with someone I trust, and I will introduce you to it." Liu Hui quit after speaking. After he left, the two looked at each other. "Master must have also discovered the relationship between Xuande and Miss Fu Rong, and felt that it was wrong, so he used this excuse to talk about the matter." "Hey, who knows." "However, it is a good opportunity." "That's right. It couldn't be better for Xuande." the next morning.The two conveyed the master's intention "so and so" to Xuande early in order to find a way to deal with the aftermath. Xuande showed a puzzled expression for a moment, then immediately raised his lowered gaze resolutely, and said: "Leave immediately. I can't cause any more trouble to my benefactor, Mr. Liu. I don't have the intention to stay here and enjoy the leisure." The expression on Xuande's face seemed to be deeply reflecting on himself. So Guan Yu said incessantly, "Although that's the case, don't you miss the beautiful woman here?" Xuande smiled with a bit of shame, and replied: "No. Love is a flower by the road." Just hearing this, Guan Yu felt "I really deserve it..." so he dispelled his unfounded worries, and his brows relaxed. "You have such a mood, which is naturally reassuring. In fact, Zhang Fei and I are secretly worried. You are both our leader and a hero with great hopes. Wouldn't it be extremely regrettable to lose your ambition for a woman?!...Then You and Miss Furong are not really in love." "You can't say that." Xuande said frankly. "When I'm in love, I'm ashamed to say it. I'm really in love. You can't deceive women, and you can't deceive yourself. It's just love." "Uh……" "But you two, please rest assured. This cannot be the whole of Xuande. Love is only temporary. I will immediately find myself, and find the self of Liu Bei, the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. From Yihan Village, Tian Fu raised the rebel army It has been two or three years since the flag was raised, and there is still an old mother in my hometown, looking forward to my son's return, I don't know if my son is a dead body or living in Luoyang. How can I lose my ambition!... You two can rest assured! Please trust Xuande."
