Chapter 24 - Sapphire Sapphire
Just as I was about to cut my neck with my broadsword, one of the men swooped down beside me and struck me hard in the hand that held the knife, causing my hand to soften. The knife fell from my hand, and the other hand gripped it. The blood that flowed out was all that man's, and the moaning was also made by that man, because he had been cut by the knife and was crying out in pain …
Huo Jun immediately shouted, "Good! This matter shall come to an end here! I'll give up on you then! " Huo Jun said to the bandits beside him, "Go! Capture those people who robbed taiwai Fan! I want to teach them a lesson on behalf of taiwai Fan! " A few bandits beside Huo Jun cupped their hands and said, "Yes!" "Great King!"
On the other hand, the person who blocked my blade was helped down to heal by a few bandits … Some of the bandits also removed Li Xiong and the others. Huo Jun said, "Everyone! Please come forward! Please forgive me for offending you! Please wait a moment, I will give you all a satisfactory answer! " We were invited to the stands. I felt very strange. Why didn't Huo Jun treat me as an enemy now?
After a while, the bandit who used to rob us was brought to the front of the stands. The bandit head that robbed us begged, "Please spare me, my lord!" "You dare to go against my orders and rob us!?" Didn't I say that? We are definitely not the kind of bandits that would steal money from corrupt officials and tyrants! We want to rob the rich to help the poor! If you disobey my rules, you will be punished! Each of you take twenty big shots, and then rush down from the mountain stronghold! "
The bandits that robbed us earlier all thanked Huo Jun for not killing them, and they were pulled down by the other bandits as well …
Huo Jun cupped his hands and said to me, "Huo Jun truly admires people like you who are able to stab your brother on both sides!" If the Lord can dispel his anger and apologize to the Lord for the previous offense, then even if I have to die, I won't frown a single bit! " I said to Huo Jun, "It's rare to see someone as heroic as the King!"
Huo Jun thought to himself, "Such a loyal person is exactly the Bright Lord that I want to rely on!" It seems like Zi Hong didn't deceive me! I, Huo Jun, can't continue to be a bandit. It's hard to ask for a wise king, so how can I not serve him? "
With that thought in mind, Huo Jun knelt down towards me and said, "I wonder if my lord will accept me! Let me work for you! These are all my heartfelt words! " I hurriedly helped Huo Jun up and said, "Think of what virtue and ability I have to make the King love me so wrongly! "Your Majesty, is it …"
Huo Gao said anxiously, "My brother, Huo Tuo, has summoned several hundred people from the village to act as his zither music. He had even cast our song as Liu Biao's music piece, but Liu Biao is not an enlightened lord that the two of us are worthy of serving. Before he died, my brother told me that I must find the service of the King. Liu Biao told me to take over from brother and lead this army. I thought that Liu Biao was not a person who was worth serving, and wanted to rely on Liu Bei who had a reputation that was spread far and wide, but I was afraid that I would accidentally land in someone else's place. What he had heard from Zi Hong before, and what he had done to his lord today, was to confirm that his lordship was the one and only of thousands of men who were worthy of his life! "I have close to three thousand men under my command to increase the power of the Lord, please accept us no matter what!"
Huo Jun looked at me sincerely, and I could read his meaning in his eyes, "Okay! I'll take your team! " Huo Jun was overjoyed when he heard this. "Thank you, Young Master! Zhong Miaomiao could only repay the lord's great kindness with his death! If there is a violation of today's oath, then I, Zhong Miaomiao, will die a horrible death! " What I didn't expect was that Huo Jun was actually such a hot-blooded man …
A bandit came to report, "Your Majesty, the banquet has been prepared!" Huo Jun said sternly, "Don't call me King anymore! From now on, I, Huo Jun am only a general in Fan Li's army! Do you understand? " The bandit looked at Huo Jun's serious expression and nodded.
Huo Jun stretched out a hand and said to us, "My lord, generals, please! It is as if we have come down to apologize to everyone! "
We took our seats. I solemnly asked Huo Jun, "Just now, who was that person that blocked a blade for me? I must thank him! And how did you know I was a taiwai of Yu Lin County? " Huo Jun laughed out loud and replied, "This person is my good friend! He was the one who told me the identity of the Lord, and he was the one who persuaded me to serve under the Lord's account! He is my best friend, his last name is a single word, the word macro. The ancestors of Changsha people were the officials of the King of Changsha. Their ancestors had been given the position of Emperor Huidi, thus, the son of Chang-hong was in the Changsha region. Because his ancestors had been in Changsha for more than four hundred years, his family was a well-known soldier in this area! It was just that there were too few people, and the lack of fame did not affect the local abilities. He was friends with Zhuge Kong Ming, Xu Shu, Liu Ba and other great sages of the Jingzhou. His virtuous name is famous throughout the Jingzhou! "
"I heard, said:" in my Eastern Han Dynasty Xianxian Yinxian's "the custom of interpretation" said they are the ancient tribe. "It is said that they are the great-grandchildren of the Yellow Emperor. They seem to be the descendants of someone called Beizheng or something like that. They were sealed in the Spring and Autumn Period and became a nation," said Huo Jun. Huo Jun was talking about something I had never heard of before, and I added, "Oh! So that's how it was! It seems like his family name is also behind that of a famous person! Oh! That's right! I just wonder if his injury is serious? I must thank him for saving my life! " I really wanted to go over to him and see how he was doing.
As soon as I finished, one of them said, "Don't worry! It's fine! "My Lord!" I looked over and saw that the person who had answered me was the one who had used his hand to block a cut to his neck. I hastily requested, "Quickly, sit down! I wonder if benefactor's injuries have worsened? "
Cheng was sitting at the banquet without a trace of politeness and was saying: "It's fine! It's nothing! "I don't know sir, but have you heard that one of Changsha's archers is an old general with a hundred out of a hundred shot?" I asked, "Is it Huang Zhong, Old General Huang?" Just then, he answered, "Yes! If you can get a tiger general like him, wouldn't sire's strength greatly increase? "
I sighed and said, "Since you are such a fierce general, how could I not want to surrender? But he was loyal to Liu Biao, it was not that easy to subdue him! "Sigh!" He cupped his hands and said, "He was once friends with my father. Although I am not sure if I can get him to join the lord's camp, there are still some wise men that I can persuade to join the lord's camp!" When I heard this, I was extremely interested. "I wonder what kind of great people there are?"
He was just about to answer, "Jingzhou is a place with many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, there are a lot of great sages, but because I am really useless, I can only make sure that Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan and Liu Biao, who are working under the cover of Dou Fang, will be under the orders of the Lord!"
I said, "The name is so familiar! He had heard of this name before, but could not recall where! Who is he? "
He replied, "Dou Qi is the grandson of the former great general's uncle, Dou Wu. He is the only descendant of the Dou Family. He was a man of both martial and civil fighting skills, and yet he had chosen to throw himself into Liu Biao's hands because he felt wronged! In the past, when the eunuchs went to raid the general's mansion, the three-year-old Dou Qi hid in the wardrobe and avoided the calamity. Later on, Hu Teng rescued him and brought him into the sect together with Ling Chang. They trained him in martial arts and literature, and later Liu Biao forced him to do what he was told. He had always wanted his ancestors to be as loyal to his country as Liu Biao had always been. The people still cherished the memory of the nine generations of people who had been wiped out for the country. If he could be put under the banner of an adult, not only would he gain a general, he could even form an extremely strong appeal! The people will support your army! "
Hearing that, I was overjoyed. I cupped my hands towards the front and said, "If it can really be like this, Chang Le really doesn't know how to thank benefactor!" And he said, "Don't call me benefactor! I was just moved by the lord's righteousness! In the future, I still want to work for you! I wonder if sire can take me in? " I was overjoyed. "If that's really the case, that's great! Great! "Haha!"
He then said, "There is still one more great sage. If the lord obtains him, it will be very beneficial to the lord's strength!" I anxiously asked, "May I ask who that great sage is?"
He replied, "That person is the great inventor of Windraiser County, Ma Jun! If one were to talk about the invention of machinery and weapons in this world, perhaps only Wolong would be able to compete with him! His invention of turning over a car is to promote the development of agriculture to play a vital role! It was a pity that all the heroes of the realm were so busy fighting that they completely ignored him. But I heard Cao Cao was just going to recruit someone from him! He was still hesitating. He didn't know whether he should go to Cao Cao's office or not. I wonder if sire would like him to return to the camp? "
I grinned and said, "If that's the case, of course it's good!" He spoke with complete confidence, "I have a deep friendship with him. I can go and convince him!"
I said, "Wolong, didn't benefactor say we should? Are you friends with him … " With a straight face, he said, "Sir, please do not call me benefactor in the future! Just call me Zi Hong! Kong Ming and I are friends, what a pity! He had already voted for Liu Bei! "Sigh!"
I said, "Hmm." Looking at me, I swallowed my words, and then said what I was thinking: "Since you and Mr. Zhuge are friends, then do you know Mr. Cui Zhouping?" He nodded and replied, "Yes! Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei, Xu Shu were all great sages of the Jingzhou! It was a pity, however, that it would be difficult to take them into his account! Sigh! If one could get a crouching dragon and a phoenix young lady, it would not be a problem for the world to be pacified! " He was sighing deeply.
I was very interested in crouching dragon Feng Yu and asked, "Is Feng Ji Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan? Sir, do you think that he can guide Chang Le? " Correct: "Exactly! What a pity! I don't think he will come under the lord's watch now! In the future, if they were lucky enough to meet with it, it's very likely that they'll be willing to work for you! " I sighed. "If that's really the case, then that's great!" I feel that it's a pity that I missed out on the two great sages, Zhuge Kong Ming and Pang Tong!
Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and he said, "That's right! Master, when I was with Meng Gongwei and the others in the past, there was a person called Sima Wang who came to visit us. Although he was not a particularly talented person, he said that he had a clan brother who was a genius of the world, and that his clan brother was extremely terrifying! When he saw Kong Ming, he believed that the number one in the world was Kong Ming and the second was his clan brother! "
Who was the great sage that was slightly lower than Zhuge Liang?

[Note 1]: I imagine that when he was the Han Dynasty, after the end of his days in my novel. Hehe, everyone, don't be surprised that I am so familiar with the history of the family and Guangxi, because my surname is Chen, and I am from Hengzhou Town, Hengzhou County, Guangxi. It made sense to write about some of the family's people! Hehe! If I had known that my book would get a lot of support, I would have written, just like the other Three Kingdoms books, that I had returned to the Three Kingdoms as the protagonist! How depressing! What a pity! Sigh! So I think the protagonist is dead, maybe I can write about myself! Then I'll be balanced! Hehe...
[Note 2]: Ma Jun, Wei Chen. Ma Jun could be found in the Three Kingdoms from 6 to 10, but he was outstanding in the Three Kingdoms from 6 to 10, so the other generation's abilities were all trash! Personally, I don't agree with Little Japan for making his ability so low in the Sanzo 7-10! Anger! Ma Jun's ability must not be so bad! I am very supportive of the domestically made Three Kingdoms game! At the very least, the abilities of some of the people from the three kingdoms wouldn't be so ridiculously low! After all, the Chinese understood the history of China! He was a famous inventor back in the Three Kingdoms, and even now, his car overturning was still in use. It was one of the most advanced irrigation tools of the time.
The next chapter's highlights were: "Xiao Ying, when will you be back?" Xiao Ying said angrily, "I'm not coming back! I'll never come back! " When I heard that, I became very, very nervous. I tightly grabbed onto Xiao Ying's shoulders and asked urgently, "Why didn't you come back? No …. What you said couldn't be true, right? " Xiao Ying looked at the hand that was tightly holding onto her shoulder, and quickly pulled my hands away, smiling awkwardly. However, when Xiao Ying saw my expression, she sweetly smiled and lightly tapped my forehead with her slender finger, saying: "Idiot! She took it as a joke! Could it be that you can't bear to part with me! " When Xiao Ying said "I can't bear to part with you", her face immediately flushed red. She turned her back and covered her face tightly with her hands.
I stared blankly at Xiao Ying, not knowing why she would act like this. I thought that I had made her cry, so I hurriedly said, "Xiao Ying, did I let you down!? I earn money here! Don't cry! " I am truly very, very anxious, because I am really afraid that Xiao Ying will be sad …
