Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: A Three-Year Covenant
The garden outside the window under the moonlit night has a unique view.
After the two of them had been separated for ten years, they had endless words, but at this time they were silent and sound.
Until today, Zhou Yang understood why Diao Chan was only a chess piece between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, but then tossed and turned and was captured by Cao Cao, but in the end he chose to return to his side.
It turned out that when he was making bold statements in Wang Yun's Situ's mansion, Diao Chan saw everything behind the screen and heard it in his heart.
The girl who has not experienced the world has fallen in love with this heroic man at first sight and can no longer tolerate any man.
Whether he was dealing with Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu or becoming a prisoner of Cao Cao twice, he never changed his mind.
Later, I finally had the fate to get along with Zhou Yang when he was parting in Puyang, and I still hinted to him intentionally or unintentionally, because I was already a wife of Lu Bu, so it was inconvenient to admit it too frankly.
Zhou Yang always thought that he was too concerned, but it turned out that it became a fact.
At the same time, I also thought of a flower-knowing figure like Cao Cao. As he said, he was romantic but not obscene. He did not force Diao Chan to be his own, but instead followed the flow and made favors, treating it as a reward for Zhou Yang's contribution to the northern expedition.
"The reason why the battle of Guandu did not let you know that they were still alive was that they hoped that everyone would concentrate on fighting the Northern Army." Diao Chan said softly, "Don't blame the Prime Minister for Zhouxiang Hou!"
"Of course." Zhou Yang was not only surprised, but also very grateful. At the same time, he thought of another woman and asked, "Lu Lingqi is okay, right?"
"How could she have something wrong?" Diao Chan frowned strangely, "Since the battle in Puyang, I have never met her again, and there has been no news about her since Xia Pi was captured."
"What?"
Zhou Yang thought that at that time, he encouraged Lu Lingqi to sneak back to Xuzhou, and that he would be the insurgent to attack Lu Bu in Xuzhou in the future, and that he could also protect her father's safety.
But maybe I was thinking too much. With Lu Bu's courage and a powerful general like Zhang Liao around me, why should he need his daughter to protect him?
Lu Lingqi must be afraid of being blamed, and at the same time she was unwilling to help outsiders deal with her father, so she gave up halfway, but she didn't know where she is now.
Zhou Yang sighed and said, "I owe her too much."
Diao Chan said: "Don't blame yourself, if Lu Lingqi is willing, she will come back to find you."
Zhou Yang thought to himself that I hope this is the case. At present, only by taking advantage of Cao Cao's unification of the north, resting and resting, staying in Luoyang and enjoying more.
Even this peerless beauty whom I have long admired for a long time now depends on him.
At this point in life, what else can we ask for?
However, after only two days of comfortable days, I got bad news: the entire intelligence regiment was infiltrated, and everyone was slightly injured. Even Peng Yiyuan, Su Chen and others were not spared. The most terrifying thing was that no one could see the enemy's appearance clearly.
Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard the news. Who had such great ability? Even Su Chen, who had studied the Taiping Sutra, could not do anything about it.
Zhang Yan changed his sarcasm and said, "Is it because Yu Digen and Li Damu came to the door?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "It is impossible. When Yu and Li defected to Yuan Shao, they sneaked into the prime minister's army to delay his attack on Lu Bu, but Su Chen was able to get involved. This shows that even if Su Chen couldn't handle it, he would not be so embarrassed."
Ye Xuan, who brought the news, said: "Apart from Su Chen, everyone was knocked down in one move, and they didn't even know how he drew his sword."
Zhou Yang grabbed his scalp and suddenly said, "I think I know who it is. You are back to the intelligence group now, it's okay."
Ye Xuan said in surprise: "Is it really okay?"
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and said, "You are fine, I am fine. The other party should have left a message, right?"
Ye Xuan said: "As Zhou Xianghou expected, the other party only asked his subordinates to bring back the word "Luo Shui".
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "I understand."
Finally, it was time to fight the world's top swordsman. The three-year agreement has been more than seven years, which is considered to be the seven more years I have lived.
Maybe Ding Xiao hoped that he could complete the battle with Cao Cao in the northern expedition, or maybe the swordsman who came and went without a trace was too busy.
No matter what the reason is, what should come will come eventually.
Since you can't avoid it, just break it.
Ding Xiao chose to fight him in this place, which should have a profound meaning.
Maybe he wanted to die on this beautiful riverside, or maybe he hoped that he would take a last look at the beautiful scenery of Luoyang before he died.
The gurgling water flows with majestic momentum and tranquility; the lush water flows with a silence and graceful color.
Zhou Yang clinged the Red Rabbit Horse, but slowly came to the agreed place.
I saw Ding Xiao standing on the shore of Luoshui with his hands on his back, his long silver-white hair dancing and flying in the faint breeze, as if it was coming in autumn.
If I die under his sword today, there will be no regrets.
The only regret is that I cannot see with my own eyes the spectacular scene after Cao Cao unified the world.
"The water in Luoyang is of vast color. It is worshipped and sacrificed to the great lake and suddenly comes south. Luobin is praying, and the color is connected to three lights." Ding Xiao turned around after reading the song "Song of the Lotus Water" written by Qin Shihuang more than 400 years ago, and said, "When Ying Zheng destroyed the six countries and unified the world, he tried his best to send Xu Fu to cross the east for the second time to seek the immortal medicine of immortality, he was still unable to escape the inevitable fate of death. How could Ding be an exception?"
"Mr. Ding..." Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard this, and he felt that the swordsman in front of him did not seem to be here to take his life, but rather that he wanted to end his life with Luoshui. He couldn't help but ask, "The three-year agreement has become ten years. I am willing to decide the winner with Mr. Ding here."
"Good boy!" Ding Xiao laughed, "What a pity."
"What a pity?" Zhou Yang asked.
When he said it was a pity, his eyes turned cold. Could it be that he was polite because he was about to die under his sword?
At the same time, I thought about it, if I was really unfortunately defeated, why should I cherish it?
Ding Xiao took a step forward, took out the dragon wine from his arms and threw it out, and said, "After drinking, I will wait on the Huangquan Road. I will come again soon to decide the outcome with you."
Zhou Yang took the wine pot, and not only did he feel a little arrogant and conceited, but he felt an indescribable sadness and loneliness.
"Just only see that Cao Gong can defeat the more under such a disadvantage, fight against Wuhuan in the north, pacify the Huns, and finally commit to agricultural production and economic development, leaving the entire northern aristocratic people speechless, and know that the dream you talked about back then was indeed nothing." Ding Xiao looked up at the sky and said, "It's a pity that I'm not going to see you and Cao Gong unify the world in my lifetime."
"But even if you dominate the world and have supreme power in your hands, you are like Qin Shihuang, lying in the coffin with both feet." After Zhou Yang said that, he poured the hidden dragon wine into his mouth.
Ding Xiao waited for him to finish the wine, just like when he was outside Wancheng, and he still stood still.
Zhou Yang threw away the wine pot, his whole body spread like fire, and there were countless activities running around in his body, but under his calm and firm will, he controlled his impulse.
The two sides confront each other and refused to give in.
Ding Xiao couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that after these ten years of training in the northern expedition, you have changed a lot!"
Zhou Yang admitted that he had indeed killed countless people in the past ten years.
Even though he knew that there were living lives in front of him, he died one by one under his own tiger roar and spear, causing this life-like weapon to drink countless enemies' blood.
At this time, a drizzle drizzled in the sky, adding a lot of coolness to this autumn.
"It looks very similar to Wancheng ten years ago!" Ding Xiao reached out and felt the raindrops hitting his palm, but he slid down with the gap between his fingers, but his eyes moved to the other party and said, "It seems that you will not disappoint me again today."
Zhou Yang looked down at the surroundings where he was standing. It was like Ding Xiao back then. The rain could not hit him with magnetic aura.
Therefore, his body did not become wet by the rain, and the tiger roaring spear in his hand would no longer show excitement because of the battle.
After experiencing countless battles of life and death, every time I climbed out of despair, I fell to the bottom of hope.
After repeated solving one problem after another, he leaped over the snow-capped mountains after another, saw the cruel snow eagle in the north, and faced the desperate situation where the enemy was trapped and had run out of food.
Today, everything is over and a new future will begin.
People are born for death, and whether death is for rebirth is always an unknown number.
Therefore, the dreams in life become rare and precious.
If you do not realize your dreams in your lifetime, what is the meaning of life? You can only regret it for the rest of your life before you die.
Ding Xiao fought with Zhou Yang with this mentality. In his lifetime, he would never be able to defeat his opponent who had defeated him.
In front of me, a man who also held a tiger's roaring spear appeared, riding a peerless divine horse like a flame, drinking the hidden dragon liquor like a living creature, and being so unconventional, so different from the rest of this world.
How could he not be moved by such a special one?
"Senior Ding, please draw your sword!" Zhou Yang never intended to take action.
If it were ten years ago, facing the strongest swordsman in history, in order to gain the advantage of attack, he would have been unable to stop taking action.
Now, he is waiting slowly for the other party to set out his sword, but his eyes are closed gently like an old monk who is asleep.
It is as quiet as water, and it is unmoved by the blowing of raindrops and autumn wind.
It turned out that before he knew it, he had finished the intermediate stage of the Taiping Jing patterns, and was only short of practicing the last Lichen Picture.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Three sword energy were separating the rain. Ding Xiao did not move, and Zhou Yang did not dodge or move, but three sword marks were drawn under his feet.
Chapter completed!
