The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 351 0352, General Zhonglang and Woodcutter

There is a pair of armor in the cabin, which looks old.The old man regarded the armor as a treasure, and never wanted the armor to leave his sight.He didn't lie, and he didn't come here to do business.He is just a tourist, but now he is a little interested in Long Fei and others.

Seeing that Long Fei was still trying to defend himself, the old man said: "If I want to get you across at once, someone must send my armor across the river. As long as someone of you can do it, I can send you across now."

Send armor across the river?How to deliver?
The old man was clearly embarrassing them, the river was so wide and the current was so fast.Why would they waste time here with the old man if they could swim across.

The old man said: "You can think about it, I will leave here later. If you agree to my request, you will cross over. If you don't agree, just pretend that I haven't said anything. But I want to remind you that there are no people in this place on weekdays. The ship is coming. If you are lucky, you will be very lucky to meet one in three to five months."

Dian Wei was a little impatient, if Yu Jin hadn't stopped him from going to the morning to argue with the old man.But Long Fei didn't show the slightest anger, but looked at the armor in the cabin with great interest.

After looking at it for a long time, Long Fei asked: "Dare to ask whose account the old man was in before?"

The old man said, "Why do you ask this?"

Long Fei said with a smile: "If I'm not wrong, the old man used to be an official, and the people who worked for him are all related to me."

The old man said, "Can you guess who I hung out with before?"

Long Fei pointed to the armor and said, "It's not hard to guess. According to various signs, this junior can infer that the surname of the old man who served before is the surname of Guo."

The old man was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face.Looking at Long Fei calmly, the old man said: "Then you might guess the identity of this old man?"

Long Fei said: "The old man should be surnamed Huang."

The old man gave Long Fei a thumbs up and nodded slightly.If he hadn't discovered this group of people a long time ago, the old man would not have lured them here on purpose.He originally belonged to Liu Biao, but it was a pity that Liu Biao didn't regard him as a usable talent.She has always been wary of him, and makes things difficult for him on weekdays.

If Liu Biao hadn't been too radical, the old man Huang Zhong would not insist on leaving.If Huang Zhong hadn't been doing well in the military camp, he might have been assassinated when he left.He didn't know the reason, why he made Liu Biao so dissatisfied.

Good birds choose trees to live in, Huang Zhong has seen through Liu Biao's flamboyant guts.It's not worth it to work with such a person, besides, he is already old and can't stand such a toss.Kong has a lot of ability but has no chance to serve the court, so he can only stay away from the city and come here to hide.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet Long Fei and his group this time.The young man in the lead has an extraordinary temperament, and all the people behind him are not like ordinary people.Huang Zhong has been in the army for decades, and he has never seen any kind of storm.He ate more salt than Long Fei ate, and he crossed more bridges than Long Fei traveled.

As soon as he saw the clothes of this group of people, Huang Zhong had the idea of ​​testing them out.Even if he gave himself a chance to kill time, anyway, he might not be able to see a living person here for three to five months.

It's not unusual to guess his identity, if you want him, Huang Zhong, and the others to cross the river, you must follow his rules.One man sends his armor to the other side, and he can send the others across the river.

Naturally, the armor was not light, and everyone knew that Huang Zhong was deliberately embarrassing them.But the problem is already in front of us, and it is a waste of time to argue whether the existence of the problem itself is reasonable or not.Long Fei proposed to cross the river with his back armor, and the others crossed the river in small boats.

Lu Bu and Dian Wei insisted on carrying armor and letting Long Fei cross the river by boat.Time is money, and there is no leisure to waste time on this problem mountain.Long Fei rejected the other people's kindness, picked up the armor from the cabin, carried it on his shoulders and walked towards the river.

Others boarded the boat one after another, and then slowly drove into the river.Walking along the river, at first the water covered Long Fei's calf, then his waist, and finally his neck.Long Fei had been completely submerged in the water, and the armor was dragging the dragon to the bottom of the river, and the armor that entered the river was heavier than before.

Armor has followed Huang Zhong for more than ten years, and has repeatedly saved his life on the battlefield.He has no relatives, and except for those robes on the battlefield, he hardly deals with other people.Only this pair of armor is like an old brother he has known for many years.He wanted to send them across the river, but he was reluctant to leave his old brother behind.

This can be regarded as a test for him to Long Fei, and it is also another reason to convince himself.He has been through the battlefield for a long time, and he can see that Lu Bu's horse is a bloody horse, and he can see that Ma Chao's horse is as stable as a mountain.It can be seen that Zhuge Qi and others are not ordinary people, and it can also be seen that Diao Chan and others are top-ranking.

Huang Zhong was surprised that there were so many heroes and beauties around a young man.What surprised him the most was the boy's keen observation and calm way of doing things.

In Huang Zhong's view, the future of such a young man must be limitless.But he needs to try it out to verify some guesses in his heart.

Dragging such a heavy armor, Long Fei had to stand still for a while to recover his strength every few times he swam.Before the body sank, he swung his arms vigorously, trying not to let himself waste his energy on breaking away from the bottom of the river.The river seemed calm on the bank, but Long Fei didn't feel it until he was in the river. The river was not as calm as it looked.

If he was swimming in the river alone at this time, he might have been washed away by the undercurrent long ago.Wearing armor has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it increases his weight and is not easily washed away by those rapids.The disadvantage is that the armor is too heavy, which consumes most of Long Fei's physical strength.

When the boat reached the opposite bank, Long Fei dragged the armor and only swam a third of the way, until the crowd couldn't stand it anymore and asked Huang Zhong to drive the boat to pick up Long Fei.At this time, Long Fei had only swam two-thirds of the way, and he was still far away from the opposite bank.Huang Zhong didn't listen to them, and drove the boat to follow Long Fei.

Could it be that he wanted to kill Long Fei, but wanted to see if Long Fei had a certain quality.Or he wanted to verify it, to see if he had misread it.

A vortex dragged Long Fei into it, poured a few mouthfuls of river water, and Long Fei was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe.His body was pulled to the bottom of the river forcefully by the armor, but he could only swim desperately upstream.Until now, he couldn't explain why he agreed to Huang Zhong's request.In other words, he just wanted to make Huang Zhong understand.

Huang Zhong stood at the bow of the boat, watching Long Fei thumping in the water with great interest.What a stubborn boy, he almost drowned and didn't ask for help.People on the bank thought Huang Zhong was heartless, but he had actually told Long Fei before setting off.He will come back to accompany him when he reaches the other side. As long as he calls for help, Huang Zhong will immediately pull him aboard.

But now he has been following Long Fei, even after being sucked into the vortex for more than a minute, Long Fei, who reappeared, never asked Huang Zhong for help.

50 meter

30 meter

ten meters
two meters
Long Fei no longer had the strength to speak, when he finally felt the river bed.His body had begun to fail, and he didn't even know how he managed to get ashore.It's just that when he climbed ashore, his eyes darkened and he passed out.Others rushed to help Long Fei give first aid, and finally rescued Long Fei an hour later.

He drank too much water from the river, and was sucked into several whirlpools.The brain was severely hypoxic and fainted only when the blood supply was insufficient.Now they are basically back to normal, and everyone else is staring at Huang Zhong.

Before, everyone regarded him as an old man, so none of us knew him as well.But just now he refused to save him, but now everyone regards him as a bad old man.Although there is only one word difference, everyone's attitude towards him has changed greatly.

Huang Zhong knew he was wrong, and looked at Long Fei with a smile.Then he nodded lightly, clasped his fists and said in a respectful voice: "The last general, Huang Zhong, is willing to follow the lord from today onwards. I hope the lord will accept the last general regardless of the past!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and they were stunned by this dramatic scene.He was desperate just now, but now he seems to be messing with Long Fei.There is such a good thing in the world, at least few of them believe that Long Fei, who was almost drowned, would accept this old man.

"Cough cough cough" forced himself to sit up, Long Fei patted his chest, breathed smoothly and said: "Since Huang Lao wants to hang out with me, I have something to say first."

Huang Zhong said: "My lord, please tell me."

Long Fei said: "It's a good thing that you want to be with me, and I have no reason to keep you out. But let me tell you one thing first, no matter what happens in the future, if you want to leave, just say hello to me. "

Huang Zhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "My lord, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that he thinks I am the kind of person who is careless? Liu Biao is not mean to me, but unfortunately I don't like his style of doing things. Don't say it is to you, even if I dare to say that even in front of Liu Biao. If it is because of this matter, then there is nothing to say."

Long Fei shook his head, pointed at the others and said, "We don't rely on any means to restrain each other. If we have a common goal, we will move forward together. If we don't have a common goal, we will go our separate ways. I don't care what others do. Fei is like this. Everyone can get together and leave easily. When you want to leave, just say hello, and everyone is free under any circumstances."

Huang Zhong suddenly realized, and quickly cupped his fists to apologize to Long Fei.He really thought too much this time, treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.It seems that this time he really chose the right person, Huang Zhong was enlightened by Long Fei's words.If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he might not have believed that there was such a broad-minded person.

Earlier, he made things difficult for Long Fei on purpose, and then made Long Fei almost die in the river.But Long Fei not only didn't argue with him, but also sincerely accepted his joining.To be able to follow such a lord, Huang Zhong's life is worthwhile.

Huang Zhong is already old, but his temperament has not changed.Since he said he wanted to hang out with Long Fei, he immediately disposed of that ship.Push it into the river and let it go with the flow, and the one who can get it must be a predestined person.Now that he has decided to follow Long Fei, he has played an important role.

By Long Fei's side, there is no shortage of warriors who can charge forward, and no shortage of counselors who can make suggestions.The only thing missing is an all-rounder who has rich practical experience and is proficient in various military strategies.Lin Chong can be regarded as an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, but he doesn't have much actual combat experience.Ma Chao can also be counted as one, but most of his energy is on martial arts.

With Huang Zhong joining, their team has taken shape.The next thing they have to do is to find a place to live, or to develop their own territory.
