The Collection of The End

——AD 186——

Taishan County, Hua County.

"Why is Jungong here? How did he know that Youping and I were in crisis? Who was it that made those cavalry turn a blind eye to us just now?"

Just as Sun Jian guessed, a group of black-armored cavalry were not good at searching. Although hundreds of cavalry galloped back and forth with great momentum, they quickly made the decision to retreat after losing their target. From this, it can be seen that the "rich man" "Weng" did not issue an order to kill them all.

After evading their search with a few piles of strange gravel, Sun Jian and Zhou Taitong, who had grown into teenagers, Zhuge Jin, walked towards the village and asked this on the way.

"This place is called Huaxian County. Because it is located in a valley between gentle hills, it has a mild climate, smooth weather, and an elegant environment. Many wealthy families in the county have bought homes and settled here." Although he was asked a lot of questions, the young man's attitude remained the same. Wen Wen: "A few years ago, my father was ill and came here to recuperate. I wanted to invite General Sun to come as a guest, but I couldn't get in touch."

Well, because he was captured by General Zhu Jun to train soldiers, Sun Jian thought, he had only communicated with his family a few times in the past two years and never went back at all. Wu Rong would naturally treat Zhuge Gui's invitation to enjoy the scenery as not very important. declined.

"As for the stone formation just now, it is a rudimentary [Qimen Dunjia] technique," Zhuge Jin continued: "If the other party had someone who knew a little bit about magic to command them, my nephew and General Sun would have been wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Spells?" Sun Jian was confused, "The 'spells' used by 'immortals' like Zhang Jiao, Mei Lin, Zuo Ci and... Yu Ji?"

"The sky has the 'Thirty-Six Techniques of Tiangang', and the earth has the 'Seventy-two Techniques of Earthly Evil'," Zhuge Jin said: "'immortals' must be able to use 'magic', but those who can use 'magic' are not necessarily 'immortals'" , For example, my nephew just used the 'arrangement' technique in the 'Seventy-two Earthly Evil Techniques', but my nephew is far from being called an 'immortal'."

"..." Sun Jian was speechless for a moment.

"The above is actually what my uncle said, and my nephew is just following the script." Zhuge Jin lowered his head a little shyly: "And my uncle also heard it from Mr. Shui Jing in Xiangyang. If you want to ask about the details, it is also Completely unaware.”

No, I didn't intend to ask at all, and my nephew, you are too loyal and honest... Sun Jian smiled dryly and changed the topic to the question that should have been asked from the beginning: "Is Jungong feeling ill? How are you doing now?" Is it great?"

"Hmph," a look of dissatisfaction appeared on Zhuge Jin's slightly longer face: "Those quack doctors said that my father became ill due to overwork and the medicine was ineffective and he might not have lasted last year..."

"What about now?" Sun Jian asked.

"Now -" Zhuge Jin opened his mouth as if he wanted to answer, but finally raised his hand and pointed forward: "It's like this now."

At this time, the three of them had approached the village, and there were lush farmland on both sides of the road.

"Yo!" In the direction pointed by Zhuge Jin, a farmer who was plowing turned around and raised his hand to greet: "Wentai, long time no see. Isn't the secret training very hard?"

"..." Sun Jian was stunned for a moment because he didn't know whether to ask Zhuge Gui "how did he know", "how is his body" or "why he farmed".

————

"Hahaha, General Zhu's method of concealment is effective for the imperial court, state officials, and even ordinary people," Zhuge Jin said after welcoming Sun Jian into the living room of his temporary residence and changing into a farmer's clothing: "But For those who pay attention to these 'trainers', this matter becomes even more obvious."

"Well, it is true that the people General Zhu secretly summoned this time are all related to each other, but their external contacts are not very close." Sun Jian nodded: "I just don't know who the powerful cavalry we encountered are... "

"[Tiger and Leopard Cavalry]," Zhuge Gui said. Seeing that Sun Jian didn't respond, he added: "It belongs to Cao Mengde, the governor of Qingzhou."

"Oh! Oh..." Sun Jian was surprised at first,

Then he frowned and started thinking.

"Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao are safe." Zhou Tai, who has excellent combat intuition, understood the meaning of these words first.

"Yes, they met Cao Cao and his subordinates during the Battle of Liangzhou," Sun Jian said, "Unless this army is led by a strange general, but in this case, wouldn't the person they were escorting be... …”

"Grandpa Cao, the former Taiwei Cao Song who has retired and returned to his hometown," Zhuge Gui continued, "He plans to go to Qiao County to see some old friends. Cao Mengde obviously does not trust ordinary ranger guards, but it is illegal for his troops to leave the country without permission. So I walked quietly on a small road and bumped into you who were also engaged in secret operations."

"Did Yu Ji do it?" Sun Jian was the first to suspect the "immortal" who was always looking for trouble for him.

"I don't know the immortal's whereabouts, but Grandpa Cao's itinerary has been planned long ago, and he has also informed the counties along the way. If your 'plan' is not a temporary decision, this matter is just a coincidence. "Zhuge Gui said.

"It seems that I can only wait here for my subordinates to gather..." Sun Jian sighed: "Then, why is Tzuyu waiting for me there? What kind of 'stone array' has been set up?"

"After the Taiping Road incident a few years ago, I started to arrange them. They were all around Taishan County. Today was a coincidence. I heard people shouting and killing on the other side of the mountain, so I asked Xiaojin to go and take a look." Zhuge Gui responded: "It's just a 'script' of what Brother Xuan taught, and it can't be used flexibly."

Well... Zhuge Xuan from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and Mr. Shui Jing... Sun Jian secretly remembered these two names.

"Wen Tai is on the march at this time, so I won't invite you to drink." Zhuge Gui raised his tea cup: "I'll take tea instead of wine. Let's do it."

"Haha, do it." Sun Jian, who had gathered enough intelligence and had nowhere to go and nothing to do for the time being, also raised his glass in response.

Ta, tap. Following the sound of small footsteps, a beautiful boy about three years old appeared at the door. He looked at the two people drinking tea with his bright black eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hey, Wentai," Zhuge Gui glanced at the boy and raised his hand to signal: "This is my youngest son, Zhuge Liang, whose courtesy name is Kong Ming. How about it? Not bad."

"Uh..." Even with Sun Jian's literary quality, he felt something was wrong.

"Gui" and "Jungong" both refer to finished and noble jade, while "Jin" refers to beautiful jade, and "Yu" refers to the brilliance of beautiful jade.

If he wanted to name his son after a kind of porous and bright white jade, it should be "Zhuge Lang, whose courtesy name is Zixia". Could it be that when he recovered from the state of "medicine and stone are ineffective", he accidentally damaged his literary accomplishment?

"Oh, not bad." In the end, Sun Jian decided not to say this. After all, he was his child, and he was already sensible at the age of three.

When he looked at the little boy named Zhuge Liang, he found that the other person was also looking at him.

"...Don't lose the fish." Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Jian for a while, said these three words, then turned and walked away.

What fish? Sun Jian was confused.

Yanxu border, encounter battlefield.

Although they have undergone strict training, due to the equipment gap, almost all Xuzhou soldiers have been captured by the black armored knights. The only ones who are still at large are the generals who commanded each thousand-man team. In the face of the indestructible black armored knights, they It was only a matter of time before he was finally caught.

"Go where?"

At this time, Zang Ba was also being hunted, but he was not as lucky as Sun Jian. Because he had spoken rudely to the "rich man" and ordered him to be captured, the person chasing him at this time was an extremely ferocious one-eyed swordsman. and the strong archers following closely behind.

I don’t know whether it was a deliberate humiliation or a result of personality. While chasing and killing, this single-eyed guest shouted some words that would make even the hunted Zang Ba feel ashamed:

"The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul!"

"This knife cannot be sheathed without drinking blood!"

"Someone's magic eye has already seen through your next move!"

"The sword is there and the man is there! The sword dies and the man dies!"

The most annoying thing is that Zang Ba can't beat him at all, and every time he has to fight, the opponent's power becomes stronger, as if he can draw strength from these strange words,

"Who are you!" Zang Ba once again had a head-on fight with the one-eyed man. Although he used his strength to distance himself, his hands were trembling and he could no longer hold the long knife in his hand, so he shouted.

"Haha, this is [the most handsome one-eyed man in Kunlun Mountain with the most gorgeous moves]!" He continued to pursue and attack while talking.

"What I said is the same as what I didn't say!" Zang Ba, who got a chance to breathe, wanted to stop and fight back, but the heavily armored archer caught up with him again and was supporting him with bows and arrows from a distance, so he had to run away again.

"Here!" The three of them were chasing each other and passing through a small forest. Suddenly, an arrow was shot from the top of a tree in the forest. The most insidious thing was that he shouted after the arrow came out. When the one-eyed man subconsciously raised his head, that The arrow was less than half a foot away from his eyes covered by the blindfold.

In this flash of lightning, he only had time to shout out a short word:

"Magic Eye!"

【Twisted Magic Eye】

Click. The flying arrow with extremely high speed silently shattered in front of him, and his eyepatch also shattered at the same time. After the eyepatch fell off, the intact eye underneath was revealed.

"Hmm..." Dumu, no, Xiahou Dun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, looked at the scattered sawdust in front of him in silence, while Zang Ba and Cao Hong, who had fired hidden arrows, took the opportunity to run away.

"Hey, Brother Dun, what's wrong with your eyes?" Xia Houyuan rushed over with a bow on his shoulder and looked him up and down: "You seem to have become a little more handsome?"

"A certain person has always been so heroic." Xiahou Dun shook his head, took out another eyepatch from the inner pocket of the armor and put it on, "Let's go back and see if Old Madam Cao is surprised. If there is any damage, these guys will flee to We have to catch the general even from the ends of the earth."

"I thought I saw some white animal flash past just now..." He whispered to himself: "Is it Miss Cai's alpaca?"
