My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 400 Zhuge
Bang.

The long knife drew a graceful arc in the air, accurately avoided the leather armor, and pierced into the back of the heart.

The huge impact directly knocked the man off the horse to the ground, and fell heavily on the grass, blood overflowing immediately.

Seeing the last enemy fell to the ground, Gao Shun put the knife back into the sheath, and touched the wine bag with pity, it was empty.

A dozen miles away, Gongsun Zan had already rushed over with his white horse righteousness.

At this point the camera gradually rises from the plain.

I saw that starting from the hill where Gao Shun was located, and winding south for more than ten miles, a blood-red torrent finally merged into the Liao River, dyeing half of the water red.

Horses, people, lying down all over the place.

There were hundreds of people in the most place, and the place with the fewest was just at the foot of Gaoshun. There were more than 2 people, and none of them were spared.

After autumn, the yellowed turf was artificially dyed a layer of bright red, and then the blood color seeped into the soil and turned black again.

"Appreciate~"

"Captain Gao, are the Tiger Soul Army brothers all right?"

When Gongsun Zan arrived, his attitude became much more polite, and even a few pretentious assistants didn't dare to intervene.

Gao Shun wiped his face and pulled off the bloody mask on his face.

For more than two hours, the tiger face mask on his face was naturally stained with a lot of blood. The blood dried and wet, wet and dried, and the condensed blood scab mask was more ferocious than the tiger face mask.

"It's nothing, thank you Jihou for your concern." Gao Shun showed a slightly rosy face, wearing a mask for a long time, somewhat panicked.

But he couldn't do without it, he almost lost his appearance several times, it was all protected by this tiger face mask.

Gongsun Zan's eyes moved, and he wondered if he should wear a mask or something later.

As a famous handsome guy in the Three Kingdoms, Gongsun Zan still attaches great importance to his beauty.

"Okay, okay, Captain Gao has done a great job this time. Just three hours ago, our side also ended the battle. I thought that side was the main force. I didn't want their real main force to be on your side. After hearing the news , I immediately brought people over."

Gao Shun stepped on the head of the man on the ground, and said disdainfully, "It's no wonder their horses run so fast that we chased them for more than ten miles."

Gongsun Zan glanced at the corpse at Gao Shun's feet, and said, "That's right, Captain Gao, I've ordered people to prepare food and drinks in the camp, and all the strong men of the Tiger Soul Army are also tired, let's..."

"Not urgent."

Gao Shun raised his eyes to look at Gongsun Zan, and said in a deep voice, "Don't Jihou think this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue it? The earthen fortress doesn't seem to be very far from here." He said and looked north.

Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, seemingly unbelievable, "Captain Gao means that the brothers from the Tiger Soul Army can continue to fight?"

Gao Shun twisted his sore neck, only to hear the sound of bones and joints rubbing against each other.

"Where are the generals of the Tiger Soul Army!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

Gongsun Zan and the others were startled, and looked back, good guy, the 2000 people who had just scattered around to make up the knife had already formed a neat array at this time.

"What a strong discipline!"

Gongsun Zan and his party were greatly shocked.

···
Luoyang.

From the imperial garden came the cry of 'Woo-wah-wah', as well as the sound of children running, jumping and playing.

Wei Cheng yawned, and asked Hao Zhao who was beside him, "What time is it?"

Hao Zhao took out his pocket watch, "Chen Shi has just passed."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, walked into the imperial garden, and bumped into Aning who was blindfolded with a red cloth.

"Haha, I got it, I got it...huh?"

Ah Ning only felt that the hand felt wrong, took off the blindfold, suddenly his eyes lit up, and exclaimed: "Brother Wei!"

Wei Cheng tapped her forehead angrily, and said, "This yard is so dangerous, what if I fall into the pool?"

In the gazebo, Cai Yan, who was coaxing the child, looked back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my husband, there is Xiao Hua watching."

Wei Cheng turned around and found a huge monster standing beside the Moon Gate, who else could it be Xiaohua.

"I've met Mr. Wei." Xiao Hua, dressed in a standard liver-colored leather armor, bowed to Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng smiled and nodded with her.

The grass next to the gazebo was covered with a thick layer of felt cloth, and Queen Guo and Bu Lianshi were practicing calligraphy on it. Seeing Wei Cheng's arrival, they both got up and saluted, "I have seen the master."

Wei Cheng picked up their copybooks, checked them over, and said with satisfaction: "Very good, after copying this paragraph, you can rest for an hour and go play with Aning and Niu Niu."

Queen Guo and Bu Lianshi looked at each other. After all, they are children, and they must be playful.

It's just that the two of them don't want to be as carefree as Aning and Niu Niu, and their future is destined to be extraordinary.

"Xiaohua, take them for a walk in the street, it's rare to come to Luoyang, and I'm so suffocated in the palace all day."

"Wow, I can finally go out to play, Brother Wei, don't you want to go with us?"

Looking at Aning who was clinging to his arm, Wei Cheng said angrily: "You are the most fun-loving girl, go on your own, you are the oldest sister, remember to protect the younger sisters well, understand?"

Aning murmured 'oh', and soon regained her spirits, and ran out with Niu Niu, Queen Guo, and the foot trainer. Seeing this, Xiao Hua hurriedly called a few female guards to follow.

Looking at the children running away, Wei Cheng and Cai Yan looked at each other, and both of them laughed.

"Oh, my second treasure is still so good."

"Dabao is useless, crying all day long."

"Husband, how can you say that about your son?"

···
The four little ones came all the way to the most prosperous White Horse Temple in the city.

The whole street here is full of all kinds of weird delicacies or specialties from all over the world, which is very famous in Luoyang.

At the same time, there are also dialects from all over the Han Dynasty here. It is easy for ordinary people to be blinded when they go to places because they cannot understand the language.

However, Aning is able to feel like a duck to water here.

Because she has traveled to many places with Zhang Zhongjing, although she doesn't know much, she can speak a few dialects in various places.

Perhaps this is the talent that belongs to Aning alone, language talent.

"Ah, that's Yizhou spinach, it's delicious."

"The little girl is from Yizhou?"

The shop owner also looked surprised, because just now Aning's pronunciation of [菹菜] was the same as theirs.

The so-called water spinach, including sauerkraut and kimchi, existed as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Ah Ning smiled, nodded, and asked in Yizhou dialect, "How much is your spinach?"

The shopkeeper was amused, looked at the clothes on Aning, and the female guards such as Xiaohua, saluted respectfully, and said: "Miss is joking, it's just a little spinach, I'll pack it for you as much as you want." Can."

Aning opened the pot and smelled it, showing a look of intoxication.

Now the shopkeeper is even more convinced that she is a fellow villager. There is no way for outsiders to 'appreciate' the sour smell overflowing from the pot of watercress so closely.

"Miss, you can taste whatever you like, and I will pretend to be whatever you like."

Ah Ning was also polite, and asked the store for a pair of chopsticks, and did not eat alone, and shared points with several younger sisters.

Except for the step trainer, both Niu Niu and Queen Guo felt that the food was tight.

Ah Ning giggled, planning to buy more, and give Wei Cheng, Cai Yan and the others a taste when they go back.

But at this moment, a boy who was about the same age as them ran over in a small step, pointed at the clay pots on the stall, and said, "Shopkeeper, I want all these water spinach."

The store owner was obviously a little surprised. He had been setting up a stall here for more than half a month, and this was the first time he encountered such a thing as Baoyuan.

Behind the boy were two young men dressed as servants. Hearing what the boy said, one of them took out a money bag from his arms, "How much is it?" The accent should be from Xuzhou.

The shopkeeper glanced at Aning, smiled apologetically, and then replied: "All together, just give six hundred Wen."

"So cheap?" The boy was taken aback for a while, and then hurriedly paid for it.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, plus [-] catties of vegetable tickets."

The boy was losing copper coins, but he was taken aback when he heard the words, "Do you want food tickets too?"

The shopkeeper saw it, and he was a foreigner again. He probably didn't have food stamps to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. No wonder he wanted to wrap his own water spinach.

The Wei family stationed in Luoyang and invited all the heroes from all over the world to expand their territory to the outside world. Aristocratic families and people with lofty ideals who got the news gathered here one after another.

The sudden influx of so many people into Luoyang naturally had some unnecessary impact on the city.

Living is one aspect, but eating has become a big problem.

For this reason, Wei had no choice but to activate the tickets again, and to distribute all materials fairly and reasonably in a planned way.

And those who have just arrived in Luoyang, because they are not used to it, will be a little bit blind at the beginning.

Just like the three masters and servants now.

You don't have a food ticket to buy food, you are not playing hooligans.

The shopkeeper was kind enough to remind them where they could exchange money for a ticket, or simply go to the guard to find an errand.

The three masters and servants looked at each other, staring at the jars of sour water spinach and gulping down, their stomachs growling in disbelief.

Aning and the others next to him looked at each other in blank dismay. At this moment, Niu Niu walked up to the boy and took out a few tickets from his pocket.

"Here you are." Niu Niu Ung said angrily.

The boy looked at the little girl who was half a head shorter than him in front of him, and then at the ticket clutched in her little hand.

"Here." Niu Niu raised his hand again.

The boy looked at the rosy cheeks and the dodging eyes, and suddenly felt amused, and took the ticket with his hand, "Thank you."

Niu Niu gave a blank 'hmm', and ran back to hide behind Aning.

The young man tightened his grip on the tickets in his hand. There were not only food and vegetable tickets, but also pastry tickets. Remembering that his younger brother was muttering about what kind of cake he wanted to eat yesterday, his uncle was embarrassed because his uncle had just arrived and had no pastry tickets.

"Thank you!" The boy thanked Niu Niu again, this time with a gift, full of sincerity.

After taking a deep look at Niu Niu, he turned around and left with the two servants.

Until the three of them walked away, everyone looked at Niu Niu curiously.

Aning hated iron and steel and asked, "Why did you give him all the tickets?"

Niu Niu looked aggrieved at the young man going away, and whispered, "I heard his stomach growling, he must be hungry."

Niu Niu didn't explain, she was about to starve to death at the time, that feeling was really uncomfortable, if she hadn't met brother Cheng, she and her mother would have starved to death, nothing in this world is more terrible than starvation.

Inn.

in the room.

Zhuge Xuan leaned against the wall weakly, and sighed: "It's really ridiculous that I, the prefect of Zhuge Xuan's county, have fallen to this point."

A woman next to her shook her head, holding a bowl containing two boiled potatoes.

"Let's eat as soon as possible. Ah Jin only got food stamps in exchange, and there is no place to exchange other tickets if you have money."

Zhuge Xuan rubbed his stomach, after eating potatoes and sweet potatoes for two days, he really couldn't eat anymore, he wanted meat and vegetables.

"Uncle, where are my elder brothers?" A four-year-old boy at the door asked while holding his head against the threshold.

Zhuge Xuan looked at this little nephew, and said angrily: "Why don't you just stay in the house and run around?"

The little boy ran up behind the woman and hugged her leg, "Auntie, where is my elder brother?"

The woman bowed her head, picked up the boy, and said with a smile, "Your eldest brother is looking for an errand, your second brother is going to buy you delicious food."

Hearing this, the little boy clapped his hands, "Okay, there's something delicious!"

The woman gave a helpless laugh, and she didn't have any hope in her heart. There are no tickets in Luoyang City, and you can't buy anything.

Looking at her husband on the bed, the woman sighed and said, "Actually, it's not bad to go south with Mrs. Sun, but now you come to Luoyang, but you can't even eat. What do you think you're messing around with?"

Zhuge Xuan frowned slightly, waved his hands, and said: "What do you know as a woman, that Sun Bofu is not against Liu Xuande of Jingnan, do you think he really only went to Yizhou?"

The woman sighed softly, she didn't understand, but she knew she couldn't hurt the child.

Because of her weak body, her first child died, and she was unable to conceive no matter what. She thought that was the case, but unexpectedly, God sent her five children all at once, three boys and two girls, and she regarded them as her own.

Looking at the sallow and emaciated child in her arms, the woman's heart felt like a knife was twisted. She was obviously rich, but she couldn't buy food.

"By the way, don't you know people from the Yuan family? Why don't you go for a walk?" the woman asked suddenly.

Zhuge Xuan was startled when he heard the words, and said speechlessly: "We are a step late, Yuan Gonglu has already gone to Liangzhou, but I have already asked Ah Jin to visit some old friends of my elder brothers. If you have a half-job, you won’t starve to death.”

The woman nodded, walked to the side bed and sat down.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from the porch outside the house, followed by a strong fragrance.

Zhuge Xuan sniffled, his eyes lit up, "There is wine, roast chicken, and a sweet and greasy smell..."

"It's a cake!" The little boy in the woman's arms added.

Ever since seeing the shopkeeper's children eating cake that day, Xiao Tong has never forgotten it.

Outside the door, the young man came in with two servants.

"Uncle, Auntie, Liang bought something to eat, little brother, look what this is!"

"Ah, it's cake, what a cake!"

The little boy fell to the ground with a plop, took the cake from the boy, and jumped around the house, so happy!
On the other hand, Zhuge Xuan and the woman looked at each other, and asked with concern almost at the same time: "Ah Liang, where did you get so many votes?"

The little girl who was a little dull appeared in the boy's mind, he smiled and said: "Gift from the nobleman."
