Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 904
Countless vehicles are blocked on the road, making it impossible for pedestrians to pass. These are horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, transporting a large amount of supplies. The grooms are running around in a hurry. These are supplies to be sent to the frontier fortress, so there is no delay, irritable The groom then jumped onto the carriage and shouted towards the front: "The one in front! Get out of the way quickly! If you delay my delivery, Zhuge Linggong will definitely not spare you!!"

It is said that a few skinny horses were exhausted on the road, which caused a big accident, but the groom's scolding did not cause the slightest disturbance. The grooms in front didn't even turn their heads. Yes, which one is not here to deliver supplies?Private carriages are not allowed on the road at all. This is not the first time that such noises have been made.

Only the groom, who was in charge of the corvee, hugged his exhausted and thin horse's neck, and couldn't help crying.

This scene brought a bit of excitement to the snow-covered world, and several grooms gathered behind him, laughing loudly.

"Didn't this guy raise the horse as a concubine?"

A few jokes that aren't funny make up the real joke.

Similarly, there are many people who went to Hezhou to serve in corvee. Under the leadership of local officials, these people walked towards Hezhou. Life is much better than that of animals. At least, Zhuge Linggong is very caring about their arrangements. He has built many post stations along the way, and he can take a break every time he walks a certain distance.

As for the slaves brought from Xizhou, they are not so lucky. Most of these poor people come from Guishuang. The land, these Guishuang people, slaughtered their brave battalion, so the life of these slaves from outside Xizhou was even more miserable.

Listening blankly to the reprimands of the crowd, some people cursed them, they should be burned to death as a sacrifice to the brave camp, but they didn't know anything, they were sold by the Guishuang nobles to the big Han merchants, and The people who were bought by Xizhou Mu and sent to Hezhou outside the Great Wall, just as they don't know why it is so cold here, they also don't know why the people here are so hostile to them.

They don't know about the Valiant Camp, and they don't even know what these people are yelling at themselves. They have already taken the lives of more than 6000 people along the way, just in this cold winter. It is to keep their heads down and bear it. After all, they have long been used to it. It is the same in Guishuang, and it is the same in Dahan. It has been the same for generations.

In such a long dragon leading to Hezhou, there is still a group of people, surrounded by elite soldiers, and strong horses stepping across the snowfield wantonly, galloping towards the heart of the Central Plains, this group of people is returning Luoyang's crown prince and his entourage left, and Hu'er rode by on a fine horse. The surrounding scene didn't attract his attention, and he was used to it long ago.

After learning from Zhuge Liang that his teacher was seriously ill, Hu'er rushed back to see Zhang Liao, and told Zhang Liao about these things. Naturally, Zhang Liao would not stop the prince, and even sent Jiang Wei to follow Hu'er As for Lu Meng, Zhang Liao had the intention to give him this opportunity, but who knows, this guy was unwilling, he wanted to expand the territory for the great Han outside the Great Wall, so how could he have time to accompany the prince.

In the end, it was Jiang Wei who went back with Hu'er alone, while Lu Meng was demoted by Zhang Liao. He was demoted to a military marquis in the name of disobedience to the military order. No one was surprised. After all, this was not the first time Lu Meng was demoted. If he hadn't been in trouble all the time, he would have been a real-name captain by now.

The prince was anxious, and Jiang Wei also understood that he didn't dare to stay along the way. Finally, in the autumn of the 20th year of Yankang, the group returned to Luo County.

The captain of the city gate has changed. It is not the Sima Fu that Hu'er knew, but a young guy. When Hu'er and his group rushed to the city gate in a hurry, the soldiers immediately raised their spears When he intercepted him, Jiang Wei was furious, and reprimanded: "Don't be rude!" The soldiers were frightened by his momentum, and they took a few steps back.

Afterwards, the young man who served as the captain of the city gate came over. To Hu'er's surprise, his appearance was somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang. The man just glanced at Hu'er in front of him, and then asked calmly. "I don't know who is here?" Hu'er said nothing, but Jiang Wei walked up and passed the experience to him.

The man held the test pass and looked at it for a while, but he didn't panic. He saluted Hu'er respectfully and didn't say anything. He just let the soldiers get out of the way. Hu'er looked at him in surprise. , in the midst of his worship, walked into the city, entered the city, Hu'er then asked: "Who is that captain? Boyue, do you know him?"

Jiang Wei was taken aback, shook his head hastily, and said, "I've never seen it in military science. I think he's a talented person with an examination background. I think he." He wanted to say something, but he shook his head, but still He didn't say anything, and for some reason, he didn't like this young man when he met him for the first time. He looked like a very handsome man, but his appearance was good, somewhat similar to Zhuge Linggong.

Riding a steed all the way to Taixue, Hu'er and others got off their horses, and Hu'er hurriedly walked towards Taixue. At this moment, even those senior brothers in the past couldn't recognize him. During the past few years outside the Great Wall, Great changes have taken place in his whole person, in terms of appearance, character, and aura, they are all different from before.

Arriving outside the familiar study, Hu'er opened the door and walked in.

Inside the house, Cui Yan, who was flipping through the book quietly, was taken aback for a moment, and looked up a little annoyed. Who would dare to be so bold as to enter without warning?When he raised his head, he was stunned. Hu'er looked at Shijun excitedly. He was already taller than Cui Yan. Standing among the tall followers, he didn't feel short and his complexion changed. It was much darker, and the momentum was also a little strong.

"Master!" Hu'er called out, bowing to Cui Yan with tears in his excited eyes.

"Hu'er?? Why did you come back?" Cui Yan hurriedly stood up, walked to Hu'er's side, looked at the disciple in front of him, and asked, "I heard that you are seriously ill, Master! You are in a hurry to come back, Shijun, how are you? Are you okay? I was so anxious to see my father’s letter.” Hu’er took Cui Yan’s hand and started chatting.

"Seriously ill?" Cui Yan was a little puzzled, and suddenly remembered something, then nodded and said: "Yes, I was slightly ill earlier, and I troubled Your Majesty to worry, and forced you to come back, but I have recovered a long time ago. It’s okay, it’s nothing serious, you just came back, you should go to see your parents first, and then you should come to see your teacher, how can you run to me first? You should go back to Houde Hall quickly, in a few days Come see me someday."

Cui Yan said seriously, and Hu'er got up, "It's fine that Master is okay, if you scare Hu'er to death, it's fine, then I'll go to see my parents first, and I'll come to see Master tomorrow!", Hu'er After bowing to Cui Yan, he left the study.

Watching Hu'er leave, Cui Yan frowned, not knowing what he was worried about.

Jiang Wei came to the palace for the first time. As the prince's personal companion, he encouraged himself not to show timidity. The guards of the palace were very vigilant and stopped them as early as when they came on horseback. Looking at the person who stopped him, he yelled: "Wang Kai, you idiot, you dare to stop me after being promoted?!"

The man widened his eyes, looked at the young man in front of him, recognized him, and hurriedly led everyone to worship him, and then Hu'er led his relatives into the palace, but Jiang Wei and others were still taken away Weapons, Hu'er ordered an eunuch to take Jiang Wei and others to the East Palace, but he walked towards the Houde Hall. Just as he walked in front of the Houde Hall, he met an acquaintance, Qi Yue.

"Hahaha, Husband Qi? Long time no see!" Hu'er smiled and walked up, Qi Yue also smiled back, and bowed to the prince, "My servant pays homage to the Bing Palace!", the so-called Bing Palace is the greeting to the Prince A kind of address, Hu'er nodded, and rushed into Houde Hall without greeting him, "Father! I'm back!!"

After entering Houde Hall, Hu'er was stunned.

Liu Xi was sitting in front of the desk not far away, his hair was white, and even his beard was mixed with silver. His handsome face had become thinner, and he looked very tired. At the beginning, he was also looking at his eldest son, seeing the burly and strong prince in front of him, the emperor also showed a smile, stood up, but Hu'er was already as tall as him.

Only then did the emperor notice his height, and he couldn't help being a little surprised, "You're back?"

"Ok!"

Before Hu'er arrived, he obviously had a lot of words and stories hidden in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't know what to say. Seeing his father's appearance, his eyes were a little red. As for Liu Xi, it was the same. All kinds of words were blocked in their throats, and they didn't say anything. The two were silent for a long time, and Liu Xi said: "Your mother has been talking about you all day, you should go and have a look."

"Honestly!", Hu'er bowed.

After returning to the palace, Hu'er was very happy. His mother hugged him and cried loudly. After Hu'er persuaded him for a long time, the queen stopped crying. As for his younger brother, Qu Ji, he has grown up now, and he is afraid. Hiding behind his mother, he didn't know his elder brother, and Hu'er didn't bring any gifts, so he didn't know how to coax him. In short, in the palace, with the return of the prince, he looked very happy.

However, the slightly hunched figure of Grandfather has already been engraved in Hu'er's mind, and he can't forget it no matter what.
