My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 28

"Riding a horse..." Wei Cheng looked at the chic appearance of the dumb galloping on the grass, and suddenly yearned for it.

Just as he was hesitating whether to let the dumb man teach him how to ride a horse first, like Chengtou and Hao Zhao, the fragrant wind came from behind him.

Cai Yan didn't know when he walked behind him, staring at him closely with her phoenix eyes, and said tentatively: "Husband, do you also want to learn how to ride a horse?"

Wei Cheng looked back at her, hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "I want to, I have wanted to since I was a child, but I have never had a chance."

Wei Cheng was talking about himself. In modern society, if people don’t have a ranch at home, it is basically difficult to get in touch with horses. Even if they happen to meet them occasionally, they are just for taking pictures. Let alone riding and running, how can such a horse run? what.

Cai Yan obviously misunderstood, showing such an expression, and then felt a little distressed for Wei Cheng, because he was weak and sick since he was a child, he must have not done many things, after all, even riding a horse, the husband seems to be very envious of others look.

Moreover, Wei Hao once explicitly prohibited anyone in the family from letting Wei Cheng engage in high-intensity exercise, such as carrying a few books, or eating too hard food, because chewing also requires strength.

It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is true.

The six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics. Cai Yan may not know Wei Cheng's achievements in other areas, but in archery and imperialism, she really hasn't seen Wei Cheng touch them. touched.

It's not that Wei Cheng didn't want to, but Wei Hao, the father, didn't want him to touch him. He was afraid that Wei Cheng would get hurt, so he always protected him very well.

Cai Yan was born in a scholarly family, and the Cai family is also one of the famous Chenliu families, so she has been proficient in the six arts since she was a child.

Seeing that Wei Cheng was interested, she said, "Husband, how about I teach you how to ride a horse?"

She didn't want to harm Wei Cheng, but she believed that she had absolute control ability and could make the horse run slowly, so that Wei Cheng could have a good time, and at the same time, her husband could understand herself better.

Wei Cheng looked at her in surprise, "Can you still ride a horse?"

Cai Yan was a little proud at this time, looked up at Wei Cheng, and said arrogantly: "I can not only ride a horse, but also drive a cart."

As she spoke, she took Wei Cheng's hand directly, and while teaching him how to look at a horse, she also taught him a few precautions for riding a horse.

Wei Cheng is completely new to this aspect. Hearing Cai Yan's eloquent explanation, he had to re-examine the almost perfect woman in front of him... May I ask, who can not love such a woman?

What's more, Wei Cheng is still a single dog who just lost his love.

···
At this time, a certain depression a few hundred meters away from Pingdingshan.

The expressions of everyone in Hujiabao were not very good.

The team was led by Erdangjia Hutong, who is Hu Biao's cousin. The two grew up together, and their relationship has always been very good.After Hu Biao prospered, he immediately brought Hutong to work together, and Hutong also changed from an ordinary fisherman to the second head of Hujiabao in a blink of an eye.

This person in Hutong has a very serious personality flaw, that is, he is afraid of death. In professional terms, it is paranoia of persecution.

This is related to his early experience. He once watched his father being hacked to death, his mother being defiled, and himself being pissed on the face.If Hu Biao's father hadn't brought people to arrive in time, maybe he wouldn't have had to live so hard.

Because of this experience, Hutong has a completely different appearance and personality from his cousin Hu Biao.

Compared with Hu Biao's daring, Hutong is a bit greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is always suspicious.

At this time, hearing the report from his subordinates, Hutong felt his eyelids twitch non-stop, and felt that there was an enemy ambush nearby.

"Are you sure it was the work of the Yellow Turban rebels?" Hutong asked with a slightly hoarse voice, half of his face hidden in the shadow under the tree.

The deputy who didn't know the truth nodded. He always thought that the second leader was a cunning and cunning person. He never thought that the reason why the alley was so dark was because he was afraid of death and was trying his best to hide his uneasiness.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Hutong slowly seeped sweat from the palm of his hand holding the whip.

"It's the rebels, so we have to guard against them. By the way, where does Haojia Village live now? Where should the fourth child's purpose be? How could I meet the rebels so coincidentally? I have reason to suspect that the rebels are hiding in Haojia Village." on."

The conscience of heaven and earth, Hutong just wanted to find a place to hide nearby, and then sent someone to invite Hu Biao, while he himself hid and waited for reinforcements. He didn't expect him to say this.He actually approached the mastermind by mistake. You know, the three wretched men are still tied to the big tree in the village.

Hearing this, the deputy next to him felt that the second master's words were reasonable. The terrain in Luliang Mountain is steep, and there are not many places where people can live and hide. I left Haojia Village.

Fortunately, he didn't reveal this guess, otherwise the Hutong might change its direction again.

Just like that, the brigade came towards Pingdingshan by accident.

But when it was close to a hundred meters away, it was discovered by the vigilant villagers on the mountain.

When Wei Cheng was notified, Wei Cheng couldn't believe it. He suddenly felt that he was useless. Yesterday, he asked the leaders to spread suspicion and spilled a lot of blood. Now it seems that he was seen through just by meeting him.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Wei Cheng sighed: "There are too many capable people and strangers in the Three Kingdoms. I thought it could be delayed for three to five days. I didn't want to be seen through in a day. Alas, it's a big embarrassment."

When everyone came to the lifting platform, just as people from the alley also arrived.

Looking at the villagers on the top of the mountain, Hutong seems to have regained his confidence all of a sudden.

"It seems that the rebels are not here." Hutong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body stiffened.

Seeing that the place where Haojia Village is located is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Hutong immediately made a decision, directly occupying the height of Haojia Village, and waiting for his cousin Hu Biao to bring people to support him.

As for going to wipe out the Yellow Turban rebels, he absolutely dare not.

"Hey, these people don't seem to come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes."

On the top of the mountain, the condescending Wei Cheng immediately noticed something was wrong. These people didn't seem to be here for the wretched man.

Hao Dadao also looked at the people down the mountain curiously, and when he saw Hutong at the head, he frowned and recognized the identity of Hutong.

At this time, someone shouted from the foot of the mountain: "People of Haojia Village, quickly put down the hanging board, I am the second head of the Hujiabao Hutong."

Hutong cleared his throat, folded his hands on his chest, and waited leisurely for the hanging board to come down.

However, to his surprise, there was no movement from above, which made him a little angry.

It is true that he is timid and afraid of death, but what he is afraid of is the Yellow Turban rebels. The mere mountain people dare to ignore him.

"Where are people, where did they die?" The deputy next to him was also impatient, and swearing directly at the top of his throat.

With his sudden roar, the whip in Hutong's hand fell to the ground in fright.

On the mountain, Wei Cheng frowned, this scene happened to fall into Wei Cheng's eyes, coupled with the panic and panic in Hutong's eyes, Wei Cheng's frowning brows gradually relaxed unconsciously, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

I saw him calling to bow his head and whispered a few words.

Weighing his head for a while, hesitant.

Wei Cheng said: "Believe me, even if the plan fails, I will have a way to get you out of the way."

Hearing the words, he hurriedly shook his head and explained: "My lord underestimated me. The reason why I hesitated was because I was worried that he would rather die than obey."

Wei Cheng couldn't help laughing, and assured him: "Don't worry, he doesn't have the guts."

Just when the pedestrians in the alley at the foot of the mountain felt abnormal, the hanging board finally came down slowly.

Said that the first person did not carry any weapons, but held a shiny object in his hand, with a respectful expression on his face.

Hutong was looking at Shitou suspiciously, when suddenly the deputy beside him exclaimed: "It's Yujing, it's Yujing Cup!"

Hutong was stunned, and asked curiously, "What is Yujing?"

The deputy swallowed, eyes full of covetousness, thought for a while, and said: "This jade crystal is a rare ore treasure, it is rumored that it is condensed from the essence of water, and it can live as long as the world. "

"Really?" Hutong said excitedly.

The deputy saw that there was no chance to take it all by himself, so he could only respond: "I dare not lie. I was lucky enough to see this thing when I met with Mr. Hu the year before last. The steward next to me said that this is a priceless treasure. auspicious thing."

In fact, what the weigher holds in his hand is three glasses worth ten yuan.But what the deputy said is correct, Yujing is also the crystal we are familiar with, and it was called Yuying or Shuiyu in the early days.

The earliest poem that mentions crystals in history is written by Qu Yuan, "Climb to Kunlun, eat Yuying, live the same life as the world, and live the same light as the sun and the moon." It means: eat the crystals on Kunlun Mountain, and the life span is the same as the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon. Share the light.

In addition, the ancients were superstitious about the way of longevity. For these so-called geniuses and treasures, they regarded them as miraculous medicines. Not to mention eating crystals, there are no fewer people who eat mercury, lead and mercury. I don’t know how many emperors were poisoned by eating these things dead.

Just as the two of them were staring at the glass, Chengtou had already walked to the alley.

I saw him respectfully raised the glass, oh, the jade crystal cup to the top of his head, and said: "General Hu, this is a wish from our Haojia Village. I hope you can let us go. Our village suffered heavy casualties in the previous military riots." , and now I can no longer stand the toss."

Hutong frowned, and looked at the jade crystal cup in disbelief, "This, is this jade crystal for me?"

He nodded reverently, "General Hu please accept it with a smile." As he spoke, he lifted the cup up, making it shine even brighter under the sun.

Hutong glanced at the deputy and saw the greed in the deputy's eyes. He knew that this cup might not be kept, and he would give it to Hu Biao later.However, if I could secretly break off a piece and taste it, would I also be able to live forever?
Everyone wants to live forever, and Hutong is no exception. He quickly reached for the jade crystal cup, ignoring the white gauze under the cup.

Seeing the cup being taken away, Chengtou threw the gauze aside in fear of avoiding it.

When Hutong and the others couldn't see him, he carefully wiped the sweat on his palms with his trousers, for fear of getting something dirty.

At this time, Hu Tong and the others were all focused on the glass, and Hu Tong couldn't put it down even more, playing with it, delusional thinking that he could swallow this glass all by himself, maybe he could live forever, so what if Hu Biao was held accountable, Hahaha.

And where they didn't notice, on the cliff, Hao Zhao led twenty or thirty people, wearing leather armor, holding bows and arrows and other weapons, and slowly sneaked into the dense forest along a rope ladder woven with vines.

On the mountain, Wei Cheng was condescending, with a proud posture. Seeing Hao Zhao lead the people to form a siege, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became stronger.

Behind him, Cai Yan witnessed the whole process, from Chengtou holding the cup down the mountain to Hao Zhao leading people to form a formation, the splendor in her eyes became brighter and brighter.I never thought that my husband also has the talents of Guan Zhong and Wu Zixu, so how can I not love him!

At this moment, the originally submissive leader received a signal from Hao Zhao.

When Hutong was still struggling with how to monopolize the Yujing Cup, he suddenly laughed and said, "General Hu, don't you think something is wrong?"

Hutong was always timid and suspicious, but seeing Chengtou's behavior at this time, he immediately woke up from the fairy dream.

"What do you mean?"

Pointing to the cup, Cheng said, "This cup is smeared with poison. If General Hu doesn't want to die too early, it's best to dismount all your men and capture them without a fight."

"Extremely poisonous?" Hutong threw the cup away in fright, and was about to speak when he felt a burning sensation in the palms of his hands, followed by an unbearable itching, as if thousands of ants were biting him, "You bastard, how dare you hurt me?" , come here, cut him off."

The men next to him hadn't reacted yet. Seeing the sudden change in the situation, they were about to raise their knives when they saw dozens of people jumping out from the surrounding woods and surrounding them.

Seeing this, the deputy shouted decisively: "How dare you, brothers, follow me to fight."

Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly shouted: "General Hu, are you dying?"

Hutong came back to his senses, seeing the red dots and stripes gradually appearing in the palm of his hand, he was terrified, grabbed his deputy and shouted: "Stop, stop everything for me."

He looked at Chengtou, "The antidote, give me the antidote quickly."

With a smile, he took a step back, took the bow and arrow from Hao Zhao who had come from the encirclement, and said leisurely: "General Hu wants the antidote to be easy, let all your men get off their horses and throw their weapons in front of me. .”

"Dog, you are wishful thinking." The deputy was furious, it was no different from letting them die.

However, to his surprise, the timid Hutong yelled sharply: "Get off the horse, do as he said, whoever dares to disobey, after returning, I will ask all your family members to be buried with me, if you don't believe me, you can try it. "

"Second leader...this..." The deputy still wanted to struggle.

Hutong turned his head and glared at him. Because of the abnormal change in his palm, he firmly believed that he had been poisoned. Thinking that he would die, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, with a bit of power: "Do it, I will let you do it, I don't understand If you're human, Mother Dut dismounts Lao Tzu and gives him the weapon."

He could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth, glanced at the palm of Hutong, sighed helplessly, and with a 'bang' sound, he threw the saber at his waist heavily in front of Chengtou, his eyes widened, as if to It's like eating the scales alive.

However, Hutong was caught by Wei Cheng, and the lives of their family members were also controlled by Hutong. If they didn't do so, it would not only be them who died, but also their family members.

(Do you know what kind of poison is in the alley? Book friends who keep potted plants at home should know it. It is a very common plant, but few people know that it is also poisonous. In a harmonious society, the less everyone knows, the better.)
