Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 64

Spring in Xiliang came very early this year, and the winter jasmine flowers in the yard bloomed sparsely at the end of February.Xiu Yuan half-closed his eyes and lay sideways on Lu Bu's lap, with a lazy expression and a slight smile on his face, with a contented expression.Jia Xu held a white jade jug and took Fan Chou to the side, while Zhang Liao was on the training ground.Ma Chao crossed his legs and leaned against the flower tree behind him, and the red leaves rested on his shoulders, covering the emotions on his face.

Gao Shun hurried over from the corner of the corridor, and handed Xiu Yuan a secret letter, "Sir, this is the new news from the Ghost Mian Camp from Xudu." Lu Bu was a little surprised that Gao Shun would deliver the news himself, and raised He took the letter into his hand and asked casually, "What news do you want you to deliver?" Gao Shun scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Wen Yuan asked me to send back the military division's message, so I had to wait here. gone."

Xiu Yuan laughed when he heard the words: "General Gao must have made trouble on the training ground again. What's the reason this time?" Every two or three days, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao would quarrel for various reasons.Whether the recruits are too young, the martial arts arena is too small, or even the weather is too hot, they will all become excuses and opportunities for Gao Shun to interrupt Zhang Liao's military training at a certain time.A few years later, many veterans knew that Lu Bu and Xiu Yuan didn't care about it anymore.

Even though Xiliang is now vast and sparsely populated, the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it is still too remote.Private schools and schools are far from keeping up, and there are even fewer women who are willing to settle in Xiliang City. As for Fufeng people, most of them are intermarried within the clan, and at most they just settle with the defenders of Maoling City on the spot. Xiliang City naturally has more monks and less porridge.

Zhang Liao belonged to Lv Bu's direct line team and had many followers, so naturally many people worried about the reproduction of his offspring for him.As for Gao Shun, those who don't know him are very afraid, and those who really know him know that he likes Zhang Liao.This kind of emotional entanglement can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye in the inner city of Xiliang, and no one will say anything more.

No matter how good Gao Shun is, Zhang Liao has no reason to give up the continuation of the incense and get involved with him regardless.If the entire city is cut off, Xiliang will naturally perish after dozens of years if no one sends troops to attack it.In Xiliang, Zhang Liao was often regarded as a model for the soldiers. As for Lu Buna, he was blindly worshiped, equivalent to a totem.For the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiliang City, as long as Marquis Wen is around, they will be safe and secure.What's more important is that over the years, the rumors about Xiu Yuan's unknown prophet have become more and more outrageous, and even raised his relationship with Lu Bu to an unattainable height.

Everyone understands that they have broken sleeves, but they will never follow suit.As for Jia Xu and Fan Chou, they have been low-key and have no sense of presence. People with a slightly lower official rank don't even know that there are people like Jia Wen and others in Xiliang.Of course, their broken sleeves will not have any real influence in the city, but Zhang Liao is different from Gao Shun. If there is any real progress in their relationship, it may be a disaster for Xiliang.

They were in the army, one received officers and the other received private soldiers.It is the hope of all the people at the bottom to get ahead, and even a little big move will be talked about by the people in the city.Those with relatives and family members will serve in the military camp. In recent years, there have been no major wars around Xiliang, and the officers and soldiers only support and do not fight.And those slaves whose origins are unknown and who fled from the border of the bereaved family will try their best to join Gao Shun's trap camp and ghost face camp to spy on Xiliang in exchange for a rare place to stay.

Zhang Liao knew these obvious things better than anyone else.Even Gao Shun himself would not make Zhang Liao embarrassing because of all kinds of complicated involvements.So the matter between the two of them had to be dragged on like this, one chasing and the other running away.A few years ago, Zhang Liao was shot by Xiahou Dun with an arrow and hurt his back. Gao Shun changed his ways to let him rest. He even cooked rice and fried tea all by himself, while Zhang Liao could only drag himself helplessly in the quagmire, neither answering nor refusing. , can not find a complete solution.

As a complete bystander, Ma Chao can actually understand Gao Shun's thoughts.He grew up with Lu Bu since he was a child, and was first trained by the old Hou Ye as Lu Bu's bodyguard. Apart from martial arts, he didn't spend much time teaching him the principles of life and affairs, let alone as an orphan who was exiled during the war. Someone used the pressure of continuing the incense to change his admiration for Zhang Liao.

Xiuyuan and Lu Bu are masters to Gao Shun, and he will never have any extra emotions other than loyalty.But Zhang Liao, who is also a subordinate of Lu Bu, is different.Gao Shun didn't read much, and he had a long-term love for Zhang Liao, who was proficient in military and military skills.At that time, the Xiliang camp had a weak foundation, and they acted together all the time. From innocent teenagers to adult infatuated love was not abrupt. Even Ma Chao himself was not affected by the environment where his sleeves were cut off everywhere?As the only orthodox woman left by the Fufeng tribe who wants to be his wife and concubine, there are countless in Maoling and Jincheng. He has always used the unrevenge of his parents and relatives as an excuse. Don't like women?

Hiding in the mottled tree shadows, Ma Chao looked at Gao Shun's masculine but not sharp facial features calmly, smiled wryly and shook his head.After that night in Jiangxia City, it might be difficult for him to fall in love with a woman again.The gentle breeze swept through the gaps in the fallen leaves, and Ma Chao's drifting thoughts were brought back by Xiuyuan's Qingyue voice.

"What does Mr. Jia think of Cao Wei's strange incident?" Xiu Yuan casually unfolded the letter paper and spread it on the stone table.Jia Xu's knuckles holding the pot were steady, but the speed of pouring tea slowed down: "Three generals and a military adviser died within a month, and even Xun Yu was seriously ill and bedridden. I wonder if Cao Cao has messed with some warlocks who practiced freely. With Zhang Jai, Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan's martial arts, even if they can't beat each other, it is not difficult to escape to the camp in Cao Wei's main camp. Even if Master Hou personally takes action, You also have to fight with them nearly a hundred moves."

Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Xiu Yuan shook his head again and again: "Mr. Jia doesn't know something, but I don't know about others. Xun Yu's profound magic skills alone are not something ordinary warlocks can deal with. Two years ago, he Being able to save Cao Cao from Ma Chao by taking the soul from the air, even if Feng Xian and I only competed in spells, I am afraid it would be difficult to gain any advantage in his hands." At this point, Xiu Yuan paused, as if Thinking of something, he added: "Zhuge Liang studied under Zhang Daoling Zhengtong, if he took action himself, it is not impossible to cause this result."

Gao Shun, who had been standing beside Xiu Yuan and quietly listening to his conversation with Jia Xu, suddenly interjected: "There are also many spies from the Ghost Face Camp watching over Shu Han, before and after Cao Wei's accident, Zhuge Kongming was still offering sacrifices to Qin Geng in Chengdu? How could it be possible for one person to split into two places and make such a big commotion in Cao Wei at the same time."

Naturally no one would doubt Gao Shun's words, Jia Xu gently put the teacup on the stone table, frowned with Xiu Yuan and fell into a long silence.After about a quarter of an hour, Yu Ji rushed in in a panic wearing a light blue robe: "The military teacher is not good, my brother was killed by someone."

Xiu Yuan was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Who is Master Yu Ji's brother?"

Yu Ji threw three or four pieces of broken tortoise shells to Xiu Yuan's hand, with a very worried expression on his face: "My brother is the genius doctor Hua Tuo, ordinary warriors can't kill him no matter what, unless he is imprisoned by someone with his true energy and power .”

"What about the green pouch book?" Xiu Yuan's expression changed when he heard the words, and his tone snapped from Lu Bu's body in an urgent manner.

Yu Jifan was taken aback by Xiu Yuan, and looked at the tortoise shell on the table carefully for a while before he said dejectedly: "I'm afraid the green pouch book has already fallen into the hands of thieves." Then he quickly reacted, with a happy face He asked rhetorically, "Qinghe, how did you know about Qianyuan Baolu and Qingnangshu? This is the secret of my sect."

"I don't know what Qianyuan Baolu is. I just accidentally found out about the existence of the Qing Nangshu from the secrets of the future. Maybe this Qianyuan Baolu is the variable in it. Immortal Master Yu Ji might as well tell Mr. Jia for details, yours Fate Tribulation has not yet been fulfilled, and we don’t care about family status. What’s more, Fengxian and I have always been in harmony and dual cultivation, so we can’t be regarded as orthodox monks. Even if it is a secret method of the master’s family, we probably can’t practice it. Yes." Xiuyuan knew very well that Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao in the Romance, but in this time and space, how could Cao Cao, who only had martial arts but no real energy, kill Hua Tuo?Apparently something unexpected changed in the matter, and Qian Yuan Bao Lu was very unfamiliar to Xiu Yuan, so he asked about it on the spot without shy away from the importance of the matter.

Yu Ji was frightened by this sudden change, and he always regarded Xiu Yuan as his last life-saving straw. Naturally, he would not hide it from him, so he hurriedly explained: "Qian Yuan Baolu was originally the ancestor of the teacher. A secret treasure that has been inherited for several generations and fell into the hands of my master. Later, he calculated that the Han Dynasty was declining and the world would be chaotic, so he divided the Qianyuan treasure record into three and gave it to three apprentices. Senior brother Hua Tuo, got it The green bag book that can save thousands of people, it is rumored that it can kill the flesh and leave the bones, no matter what the injury is, as long as there is still one last breath left, it can be saved."

Jia Xu originally thought that he couldn't understand these things about cultivating immortals and seeking Tao, but he didn't expect Yu Ji to say this at the beginning, so he immediately let go of his mind and said his judgment: "Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. This From my point of view, someone got the news from somewhere and killed someone to seize the treasure. If my predictions are correct, Immortal Yu Ji’s fate may soon be fulfilled, because you also have this A part of the Qianyuan Baolu, since the murderer took the green bag book, he obviously knew about this secret treasure long ago, so he must want to gather all three things to restore the treasure, so as to deal with some tricky things."

When Xiuyuan heard Jia Xu's words, he nodded suddenly: "Mr. Jia's words are really reasonable. There are many strange ways of cultivating immortals, but there are very few people in the world who really have the heart of Taoism and understand the magic of Taoism. It is very likely that the murderer is An acquaintance of Immortal Master Yu Ji. In addition, most of the cultivators are not good at ingenious tricks, so if they want to, they will naturally not use any tricks, and it is normal for them to do it openly."

"The military division and Mr. Jia mean that the one who kills and seizes the treasure is our fellow apprentice Zuo Ci?" Although Yu Ji is obsessed with the way of heaven, he is not a pedantic person who does not know how to adapt. I found Xiu Yuan to avoid disaster.Xiuyuan's Jia Xu's reminder was too obvious, so Yu Ji figured out the reason without any effort.

As soon as Xiu Yuan heard that Zuo Ci was a famous character in the novel, he nodded immediately: "It's probably like this, because according to the secrets I know, Hua Tuo died at the hands of Cao Cao, and Zuo Ci was also mixing with Cao Cao. , claiming to be Misty Immortal. In the end, he played Cao Mengde ruthlessly. I wonder if Immortal Master Yu Ji has a chance of winning against your senior brother Zuo Ci?"

Yu Ji blushed immediately when he heard that: "Mr. Xiu Yuan, Zuo Ci is my junior brother."

As soon as Lu Bu heard this, he burst out laughing immediately: "You three-headed young lady can still be someone else's brother? You must be lying."
