The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 88
Liu Chan and the others walked extremely slowly. One reason was that Ou Yechang was seriously injured, and he couldn't run too fast. Otherwise, Liu Chan couldn't have resorted to stratagems and divided his troops, but he had to hide under Jianye City. Such efforts were not thankful. ; Second, because they still have to wait for Zhao Feng and others to come to the round.

After more than an hour, they probably walked ten miles away, and it was already daylight.In the gray sky, there are still one or two remaining morning stars twinkling.

There is a river in the north, which should be the branch port of the Yangtze River. The fog on the river rises and falls, like a long gray snake, crawling back and forth on the ground and twisting its body.

On the south bank, there are sandy beaches, swamps, and reeds rustling.

All of this is shrouded in the pink morning glow, but the sun is still below the horizon, refusing to show its face in a daze.

Although Liu Chan's riding skills are really not very good, he can still ride a horse alone at such a slow speed.

From time to time he looked at the beautiful scenery around him, and then took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.A slightly cool feeling penetrated the chest, making people feel refreshed, and the spirit that was a little sluggish suddenly lifted.

Liu Chan turned his head to look at Ou Yechang who was beside him. Although he only had one hand, it did not interfere with riding a horse.What worried Liu Chan was that his face was paler than last night, and there was a tinge of blue.His injuries were already serious, and not only did he not have a good rest, but he rode on horseback all night. Even his body of iron might not be able to support him.

Liu Chan had no choice but to order everyone to stop rushing, and said to Ou Yechang: "Mr. Ou Ye, we have traveled a long way now, we should stop for a rest and have something to eat, and then wait for Zhao Feng and the others to come over."

Liu Chan's words were tactful, and he didn't mention that he was worried about Ou Yechang's health and that he would not be able to support him.After all, Ou Yechang was not like ordinary people. He had just lost an arm, and he was probably in a very uncomfortable mood. At this time, the care Liu Chan needed to give was to try his best to protect Ou Yechang's dignity as a warrior.

Sure enough, Ou Yechang didn't notice Liu Chan's kind intentions, thinking that Liu Chan really wanted to rest, and he was really tired, so he readily agreed, "That's very good, so be it."

Liu Chan called a guard and asked him to help Ou Yechang get off his horse.Ou Yechang silently accepted Liu Chan's kindness.

So, everyone took out dry food, Liu Chan and Ou Yechang found a rock and sat down, so as not to get their clothes wet by the dew on the grass.The two of them ate and talked about the river scene in front of them, but quickly forgot their troubles aside.

After eating, Ou Ye often felt a little thirsty, so he wanted to take a wine jug from a guard to drink.Liu Chan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mr. Ou Ye, you are still seriously injured, so it is really not suitable for you to drink."

Ou Yechang didn't take it seriously and said: "Young Master Yang, you are worrying too much. I think my body, Ou Yechang, is made of iron. What does it matter if I drink a little wine? Just leave it alone."

Of course, Liu Chan couldn't ignore it. He really wanted to use the simple medical language of the 21st century to tell this casual Ou Yechang: drinking alcohol will not only stimulate the brain nerves and slow down the wound healing, but more seriously, it may also make the wound Inflammation, how can the wound heal?
But Liu Chan couldn't, because even if he told Mr. Hua Tuo about the principle, he might not be able to understand it.

Liu Chan had no choice but to persuade: "Mr. Ou Ye, one of my teachers is a famous doctor, and he did say that injured people should not drink alcohol. Moreover, we are still a long way from the fishing village, and the road is even more dangerous, sir. Why should you disregard your own body?"

Ou Yechang was not a foolish and ignorant person, the wine pot that was put to his mouth stopped immediately.He pondered for a while, but still said with some displeasure on his face: "It's really not easy to be with you, young man, there are so many rules along the way!" Then, he threw the jug to it the master.

Liu Chan smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more. It's good that everyone knows some things well.

After everyone rested for another quarter of an hour, the sky finally brightened.

The sun shyly floated up to the surface of the river, making the river crimson.And the dewdrops on the leaves of the weeds on the roadside gradually became less and less.

At this time, there was a rush of horseshoes on the road behind, and the number of people coming was not small.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that the place was most likely to be Zhao Feng and others, but on the one hand, it was just in case, and on the other hand, it was the inertia formed by good practice. The guards immediately picked up their weapons and stood up vigilantly. Protect Liu Chan and Ou Yechang in the middle.

Ou Yechang felt very disapproving of everyone's fanfare.How did he know that the rules and regulations of the regular army are completely different from the unrestrained life of a knight-errant like him.

When the sound of horseshoes approached, everyone could clearly see that it was Zhao Feng and others who came, so the guards put down their weapons.When Zhao Feng stopped his horse and got off the ground, Liu Chan pushed aside the guards in front, stepped forward to greet him, and asked, "How is the situation there?"

Zhao Feng saluted and said: "My lord, you did not guess wrong. You didn't leave for a long time, and a few sneaky guys came out of Jianye City, and we took them down one by one in the end."

"What was the result of the interrogation?"

"They have all confessed that they are looking for our whereabouts. Among them are Mr. Zhuge Ke's people, as well as people from the Zhu family and the Bu family."

Liu Chan sneered, the people from the Zhu family and the Bu family needless to say, it was inevitable for them to go out of the city to find someone.However, what he cares about is Zhuge Ke's people.This has completely proved that his conjecture last night was indeed correct.Fortunately, those tails have been cut off, otherwise it will be very troublesome now.

Liu Chan said: "That Zhuge Ke is really not such a simple character. Fortunately, we are on guard against him! How did you deal with those who were caught?"

"Mr. Zhuge Ke's people, I ordered them all to be tied up in a forest. Whether they live or die depends on their own fortune. As for the people from the Zhu family and the Bu family, they can't be kept, so I put them all together. As a result, it was thrown into the river to feed the fish."

At the end of Zhao Feng's words, he looked at Ou Yechang and greeted him with a smile.It seems that he is still angry with the Zhu family and the Bu family because of Ou Yechang's broken arm.

Liu Chan frowned, but didn't say anything to him.Then, he asked Zhao Feng to take his ten subordinates to eat and rest first, and after a while, everyone had to continue on their way!
Zhao Feng nodded and ordered everyone to continue to rest.Then, he sat next to Ou Yechang, and while eating, he chatted with Ou Yechang about his ambush.The two chatted very speculatively.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Feng and the others had finished eating, and Liu Chan then ordered everyone to mount their horses again.

But at this time, everyone's speed was not as slow as at night, even Ou Yechang started to speed up.Everyone hurried like this, and finally arrived at the fishing village that Ou Yechang mentioned at sunset.

The fishing village is indeed very small, the houses are sparsely scattered, there are only about a dozen families, and all the houses are made of local materials and piled up with pebbles by the river.

But the fishing village is not completely located in the reeds. It is located on a hillside, very close to the river, surrounded by extremely dense reeds.

On the sandy beach at the edge of the reeds, there are some old boats, mottled old fishing nets scattered, and strips of dried fish that are a little whitish in color.

The setting sun showed a faint light on the horizon, and with a long horn, the fishing boats on the river not far away folded their white sails, cast messy shadows on the river, and slowly docked at the simple pier on the river beach.

At this time, the fishing village, which was originally as quiet as death, suddenly came alive.A lot of people gathered at the river beach pier, talking about today's harvest while moving things from the boat.

Liu Chan hadn't seen such a busy and quiet rural life scene for a long time, and he often smiled at Ou Ye: "It's a pleasure to live in such a fishing village. Mr. Ou Ye, you can just cultivate your body here! "

Seeing that Liu Chan cared about him so much, Ou Ye smiled gratefully and talked about his fate with this fishing village.

That was seven or eight years ago.The fishing village at that time was actually much larger than it is now, with about thirty or forty families.However, it was later robbed by water thieves, and the whole fishing village was burned overnight.

At that time, Ou Yechang happened to pass by here, and after seeing the miserable situation in the fishing village, he angrily found the gang of water thieves, personally took the head of the thieves, used it to pay homage to the victims of the fishing village, and avenged them.

However, after the fishing village was robbed, only the current population remained.Until now, Ou Ye often returns here every one or two years to visit the folks in the fishing village.

Hearing Ou Yechang's story, Liu Chan was quite touched.Rangers like them, on the one hand, are indeed the kind of people with the most sense of justice in history, who provoked the backbone of the entire nation to resist crime during the dark age.But on the other hand, they despised the laws of the country, resulting in a situation of "chasing the ban with martial arts", and became the target of the rulers of all dynasties.

Originally, Liu Chan was also deeply jealous of those rangers.But after getting along with Han Long and his disciples, and now this very loyal Ou Yechang, Liu Chan's mentality has changed.He even began to question in his heart why there would always be knights who acted bravely in all dynasties.Isn't it because of the incompetence of the Celestial Dynasty itself?

And the so-called "Where there is oppression, there is resistance", no matter in any era, this statement must be true!So, if the laws of the Celestial Dynasty are clear, where in the world do we need knights to eradicate evil?
While Liu Chan was thinking, the people in the fishing village found Ou Yechang, they dropped their work one after another, cheering and rushing towards this side, as if seeing a long-lost relative returning home.
