Liu Jibei felt that Dugu Kai was so bored, so he stopped answering and took Dugu Sheng away first, and the rest of the people followed him one after another.

Liu Yong walked up to Dugu Kai, his face full of reluctance, and said bitterly: "Are you really going to let them go like this?"

Dugu Kai stood with his hands on his sleeves, looking at the night sky, and said calmly: "Chang'an City is like Longtan, the water there is so deep and tight!"

Liu Jibei and others rode their war horses and smoothly left the north gate of Xiyang County City. They didn't go far before they met the Yulin Army waiting there.

After seeing Wang Gui and Yuwen Shenju, a Yulin military lieutenant handed half of the tiger talisman to Wang Gui's hand, and then said: "The two generals transferred us here, is there another war?

"

Wang Gui sighed: "There is indeed a war, but it has nothing to do with you and others. We still rush back to Chang'an at starry night!"

After Dugu was captured, the army traveled all night. On the way, Wang Gui briefly told the story of his attack.

It turned out that after Liu Feng followed Wang Gui to the military camp, he said that he wanted to go back to the post house early to prepare something to entertain everyone, so he left the military camp. Wang Gui didn't pay much attention, as he had settled the Yulin army he led.

Finally, he wanted to rush back to the posthouse alone, but several of his most compatible soldiers did not come.

He was worried and had to escort Wang Gui to the post house. Seeing how persistent his subordinates were, Wang Gui obeyed them. Halfway through, he suddenly encountered a group of strong men with their faces covered, and they couldn't help but surround Wang Gui and others.

A fight broke out. During the fight, Wang Gui recognized that the strongman leading the fight was Liu, who had left not long ago.

Feng, who called him by his name in anger, made Liu Feng stunned. He was hit in the vital part by a stray arrow fired by the rebel army, and died. Wang Gui fought hard, and all his soldiers were killed or injured. Fortunately, Liu Feng led him

When the people who came saw the general dead, they all turned into birds and beasts and scattered. Wang Gui captured one of them.

After being interrogated by soldiers pretending to be strong men, they found out that all this was a conspiracy of the Liu brothers. After Wang Gui arrived at the post house, he first quietly captured a handyman in the post house and learned about Yuwen Shenju and others.

He went to where people were going, and then quietly arrived at the inn where Liu Yong was entertaining guests at night.

After everyone heard this, they were all sighing and felt that sometimes things in the world are really unpredictable.

Two days later, Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui led the army to Shangluo County. The army marched north along the right bank of Danshui River. When passing through a hilly area, Liu Jibei set up a pergola and looked at the sky, only to feel that the sun was dazzling.

, knowing it was already noon, he put down

He looked around with his hand, and suddenly a white shadow flashed vaguely in his field of vision. Liu Jibei rubbed his eyes. When he looked again, the white shadow was gone. Liu Jibei smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: If

If I don't take a good rest, I'm afraid I will really hallucinate.

At dusk, Yuwen Shenju led the army to the outside of Shangluo County. Because of the experience in Xiyang County, Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui decided to put the army outside the city and send people.

Notify the governor of Shangluo County to send food and grass for the people and horses to enjoy.

As night fell, the army had already set up camp. Liu Jibei and others gathered in the commander's tent to chat and rest. Not long after everyone sat down, they heard someone coming to report that another group of Zhou troops came outside the county city to see the flag signal.

It's Ho Ruoden's army.

After Wang Gui and Yuwen Shenju heard this, they couldn't help being surprised. They both felt that He Ruoden came back so quickly. After discussing it, they decided to go to He Ruoden to visit him.

Just when they were about to get up, someone came to report that He Ruoden had already led a few people to the outside of the camp. Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui hurriedly went out to greet them. After a while, as the commander came out of the tent,

Outsiders yelled, and the curtain was raised. Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui walked in accompanied by a mighty general. Behind the general were nine people.

Liu Jibei took a closer look at the general who came in and the few people behind him. He saw that the general was about forty years old, with a strong back and a strong body, and his whole body was filled with a kind of masculinity. The general was followed closely behind him.

A young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, faced

Although Kong is a little young, his physique is extremely strong, and his appearance is quite similar to that general. Behind the young man, there are eight people who look like generals. Although they are dressed in ordinary clothes, they all look dignified.

, are obviously masters of both internal and external skills.

After Wang Gui and Yuwen Shenju accompanied the general to his seat, the young man and the eight generals stood behind him in tacit understanding. The young man's eyes first scanned the people in the tent, and finally fell on Gao Yinghe.

There was a strange look in the eyes of Yang Su and Yang Su.

After being introduced by Yuwen Shenju, Liu Jibei knew from his mouth that the general was He Ruodun who had returned from the expedition to Chen State, and the young man was He Ruodun's son, named He Ruobi. The other eight people were known as the "Eight Riders of the Storm"

, are the generals who have followed He Ruoden in battles for many years. They all have extraordinary skills and are quite successful.

Since Yang Su knew that the young man was He Ruobi, his eyes have been hovering over him from time to time, and he thought to himself: This boy is the He Ruobi that Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui highly admired. Hey! He looks really good now.

I just don’t know if it’s just an illusion, but if I get a chance I’ll give it a try.

When Yuwen Shenju introduced Liu Jibei to He Ruoden, He Ruoden just glanced at Liu Jibei lightly and nodded towards him without saying much.

Liu Jibei didn't mind at all. He put aside a few cases and clasped his fists without saying anything.

Gao Ying looked at He Ruobi and then at Yang Su, with a rather strange expression. Yang Su asked in a low voice in confusion: "Your eyes are wandering and your face is so weird. What on earth did you think of?"

Gao Ying smiled and replied in a low voice: "Don't you think you are a bit similar to He Ruobi?"

Yang Suqi said: "I have no relationship with him, how can I look like him!"

Gao Ying suppressed her smile and said sternly: "I'm not talking about you two looking alike, but I mean that your temperaments are quite similar."

Yang Su tilted his head and glanced at He Ruobi for a few times, shook his head and said suspiciously: "How could that be? I'm much calmer than him."

Gao Ying sighed: "Actually, you know better than anyone else that you and he both have a soaring heroic spirit, and your eyes are very familiar, deep and full of agility. Maybe in the future you two will be the so-called Yuliang!"

"

When Yang Su heard what he said, he suddenly lowered his head and sighed: "If that's true, how can you be so good and bright at the same time!"

Gao Ying suddenly said: "I don't know who will lose or win, Ruoden He or my senior brother?"

Yang Su asked strangely: "Who is your senior brother? How come he got into a fight with He Ruoden?"

Gao Ying hesitated for a moment and then said: "I won't hide it from you. My senior brother is the famous general Hou Qi of the Chen Kingdom. Like him, I came from Xuanji Island in the East China Sea, but I have never met him. But

Master, he always talks about senior brother."

Yang Su's expression became very strange and she said, "If He Ruoden defeats your senior brother, will you fall out with He Ruoden here?"

Gao Ying laughed softly and said: "Privately, the eldest brother and He Ruoden have no grudges, but they are each their own masters. Even if the eldest brother loses to He Ruobi on the battlefield, it can only be said that his strategy is inferior to others.

How can I be entangled with others endlessly because of this matter?"

While the two were chatting in low voices, they suddenly heard He Ruodun let out a long sigh and said with great frustration: "This time I went deep into the hinterland of Jiangnan. If Dugu Sheng hadn't abandoned me, I wouldn't have been forced to make an alliance with Hou Qi."

Yuwen Shenju could hear the resentment in He Ruoden's tone, and he asked with some hesitation: "Didn't the general meet Dugu Sheng when he returned to the north?"

He Ruodun wondered: "How did I meet him? Since he was defeated in Yang Yezhou, he escaped early and should be in Chang'an by now."

Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui looked at each other, and both saw the confusion in the other's eyes. Wang Gui then asked: "When the general passed by Xiyang County, didn't he enter the city?"

He Ruodun snorted with disdain and said, "Xiyang County Governor Liu Yong is a despicable and dirty person. He Ruodun is ashamed to associate with such people."

Yuwen Shenju sighed: "Although the general despises Liu Yong as a person, he lost an opportunity to meet Dugu Sheng."

Seeing the confusion on He Ruoden's face, Yuwen Shenju told He Ruoden everything that happened in Xiyang County. He could only hear He Ruoden's "hehe" sneer from time to time. Anyone could hear the contempt and disdain in his laughter.

anger.

As soon as Yuwen Shenju finished speaking, He Ruobi, who was standing behind He Ruoden, said angrily: "Brothers Dugu Kai and Dugu Sheng are so shameless. They actually did such a despicable thing. It's really unbearable."

He Ruodun sighed: "With such people in the temple making trouble, the country will be ruined!" Then he sighed again and shook his head with a look of disapproval.

Yuwen Shenju asked: "The general's southern expedition has failed, so what are his plans to return to Chang'an?"

He Ruodun was silent for a while and said: "Although this southern expedition was unsuccessful, I did not lose many soldiers. Compared with Dugu Sheng, I should have some excuses. I think the emperor will not blame me too much?"

Wang Gui said meaningfully: "The emperor will not blame the general, but it is hard to say for others."

He Ruodun sighed: "I understand what General Wang means, but it is useless to dream about it now. All we can do is take a step and see."

Then everyone chatted for a while, and after dinner, He Ruoden said goodbye and returned to the camp, and everyone else also returned to their sleeping tents.

Liu Jibei lived in the same sleeping tent with Yang Su and Gao Ying. Since Yang Su and Gao Ying were both a little excited to see He Ruobi, they both had some wine and went to sleep first after returning to the sleeping tent.

Liu Jibei didn't drink, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while, so he came outside the sleeping tent alone, sat on the grass beside the tent, hugged his knees with his hands, looked at the night sky, and couldn't help but feel stunned when he recalled the experiences of these days.
