Ren Maohui: Drifting along the river along the river

Chen Qun, who is in Xia Pi, received an urgent report from Xiao Pei: Pei City has been broken...

He was very worried about Liu Bei's life and death, and in desperation, he stepped on his back and galloped towards Xiao Pei. However, he met Gao Shun's troops halfway, and Chen Qun took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in Xuzhou from Gao Shun.

Gao Shun saw Chen Qun's expression in a hurry, thinking that he was worried that Lu Bu would not win this battle, so he smiled and almost wiped out the main force of Liu Bei's army. The news of Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Liu Bei's escape in a panic were told.

"Then...has Liu Bei captured?"

Chen Qun was trying to share his worries for Lu Bu on the surface, but in fact, his real purpose was to inquire about Liu Bei's situation and make appropriate responses.

Gao Shun shook his head: "It has not been captured, the big-eared thief fled very quickly, and he even wanted his wife."

Chen Qun was relieved after confirming that Liu Bei was not captured by Lu Bu and did not die in the chaos.

However, he saw a large wooden box on the carriage behind Gao Shun. The box seemed to be soaked in water for a long time, and there were still water plants on it, which made him feel very strange. Gao Shun saw that Chen Qun cared about the box very much, and explained:

"This was discovered on the shore during the process of leading the army back. Before I could open it, I was planning to hand it over to General Lu."

There were many people in Lu Bu's army who were used to fighting, but few people like Gao Shun who were loyal to the Lord and were selfless.

Just as Chen Qun was about to return to Xia Pi with Gao Shun, the wooden box on the car suddenly began to shake itself. At first, the movement was still very small and almost no one noticed it, but soon the movement became louder and louder.

Seeing this, Gao Shun ordered people to open the wooden box. The soldiers jumped onto the carriage and used a hammer to destroy the lock on it. The lid of the wooden box opened itself in an instant. The soldiers around him were frightened to see this and surrounded the wooden box with long spears in their hands.

Slowly, two hands stretched out from inside and grabbed the edge of the wooden box tightly. Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

What happened next shocked everyone present: a man rushed out of it, lying on the wooden box and gasping loudly. Chen Qun was surprised and found that he was a young man under 20 years old. Gao Shun was also very surprised to see this scene and loudly asked Sima Yi who was lying on the box and was constantly breathing fresh air:

"Who are you? Why are you hiding in this wooden box?"

Sima Yi, who slowly recovered his mind, looked up and observed the surrounding situation and found that there were many soldiers surrounding him. When he recalled that he was lured into a narrow alley by a man who looked like Xi Zhicai, and finally he was suddenly knocked unconscious from behind. He did not expect that he would be here when he woke up again.

Judging from the reactions of the people around him and Gao Shun's scolding, they were not the ones who kidnapped them. Seeing some water seeping in the box and the water plants scattered around the box, Sima Yi understood that the person who kidnapped him should have an accident on the road by the river, so that he would roll into the river with the box.

And the people in front of them are the ones who salvaged themselves from the river.

At this time, Chen Qun took the food on the horse's back and took down the food and who was loaded on the horse's back and walked to Sima Yi and handed it to him: "I think you have been locked in the box for a long time. It seems that you haven't eaten for a long time. Let's eat something first to keep it hungry."

The hungry Sima Yi didn't care about so much, so he took the food and started eating it voraciously.

Gao Shun originally wanted someone to tie up this boy with unknown origin, but Chen Qun said to stop him: "I don't think he understands martial arts and is still young. He should not be a spy or something. After eating, let him go and don't make things difficult for him anymore."

After filling his stomach, Sima Yi recovered his vitality.

Chen Qun asked politely: "Who are you? How could you be locked in a wooden box?"

Whether it was the vicious soldiers surrounding him or the elegant man in front of him, Sima Yi could not easily believe it. He deliberately pretended to be very frightened and answered tremblingly:

"My name is Ma Si, a native of Changshe in Yingchuan. Not long ago, both parents died. I wanted to go to Pengcheng to join my relatives. Unexpectedly, I was robbed by robbers halfway through. They forced me to ask for money because I was not locked in a box by the bandit leader and threw it into the river. I thought I was dead, but fortunately I met you and saved my life."

In fact, the reason why Sima Yi said to go to Pengcheng was that he noticed the "Gao" flag and the "Lu" flag in Gaoshun's army, and then he realized that he should be in the boundary of Xuzhou. He was familiar with the Han map and knew that the longest river in Xuzhou was the Si River, so he bet on luck to say so, so he would not be suspicious.

Hearing that he said, Gao Shun nodded, almost completely dispelling his suspicion of him.

After listening to his self-introduction and description of his experience, Chen Qun said nothing, but from his expression he seemed a little thoughtful, and then he said to Sima Yi:

"My name is Chen Qun, and I am from Yingchuan. It is not easy to meet fellow villagers here. The thieves in Pengcheng Country are rampant and public security is very chaotic. I think it is better for you not to go. Why not go to Xia Pi first and take a break. How about I personally send someone to Pengcheng when I go back?"

It was vaguely felt that Chen Qun seemed to find that Sima Yi did not dare to refuse too much, so he had to follow them to Xia Pi.

Chen Qun, who thought he would constantly test him along the way, seemed particularly quiet. He did not ask questions to him until he came to Xia Pi City along the Si River. He had almost never spoken to him except for his daily words.

Chen Qun arranged for Sima Yi to live in his home, and Sima Yi was thinking of going to Yingchuan to meet Hu Zhao as soon as possible, but then he thought: The person who kidnapped him to Xuzhou should be in Xuzhou, and he had enough of the feeling of being blindfolded and teased. Now he came to Xia Pi by chance, and maybe he could find clues about them.

Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry to leave Xuzhou.

At this time, Liu Bei, who was very worried, was constantly fleeing westward to Liang Kingdom. On the surface, he could be said to be very down and out now. Not only did he lose contact with Guan, Zhang and Zhao, but he was also a soldier.

Just as he stopped here and rested for a while, he suddenly found a large group of people marching from a distance. Liu Bei saw clearly that the sergeant was holding the military flag that was written on Cao Cao.

A strange arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly jumped out of the hidden grass, shouting to Cao Cao who was leading the army forward: "Hey! Meng Degong! I am Liu Bei!"

Seeing that it was Liu Bei calling him, Cao Cao hurriedly invited Liu Bei to the same seat next to his car. Looking at Liu Bei's disheveled look, Cao Cao sighed regardless of Liu Bei's muddy hand:

"Brother Xuande, I'm sorry for you. If I had arrived earlier, you wouldn't have fallen into such a field."
