Jiangxia County has many lakes and rivers. Most ordinary families go out by boat, and most merchants take waterways. On the one hand, the cargo volume is large, and on the other hand, the journey is easy.

But there are also people walking by land. There are two official roads from Yangxin County to Xiangyang. One is to cross the river with Xiakou and the north along the right bank of the Han River, and the other is to cross the river with Chibi and the north along the left bank of the Han River.

Among the two official roads, it is more convenient to go to the left bank.

At noon that day, a young officer came to the Chibi Ferry Crossing, followed by a cavalry entourage. Although the officer looked handsome and looked extraordinary, what attracted the attention of passers-by was the war horse he rode.

This is a white war horse. The war horse is extremely majestic and walks elegantly and vigorously, attracting passers-by to look at each other.

The young officer was naturally Liu Jing. He did not return to Xiangyang by boat with Liu Bei's army, but rode his horse back from land. Liu Bei could not convince him, and was worried that his horse would be stolen, so he sent a guard with good martial arts skills.

When he first got a BMW, his strong desire to spend time with his horse day and night made Liu Jing not want to ride a boat and ride north all the way, which further deepened his relationship with his horse.

Liu Jing immediately stood on Gaogang and looked into the rolling Yangtze River in the distance. This is the Red Cliff. The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. In another seven years, a battle will break out here that determines the pattern of the world.

But I don’t know what kind of color his arrival will add to this history.

Liu Jing stared for a long time, but was interrupted by a hospitable bartender, "June, it's almost noon. I'll drink a glass of water and wine in the shop and cross the river. Now the boatman on the pier is resting, and no one has ever gone."

Liu Jing turned around and looked at the bartender. Seeing that he was smiling and his eyes were full of enthusiasm, he asked, "Where is your tavern?"

The bartender pointed to a tavern not far behind him, "The first one in the town is"

Liu Jing followed his fingers and saw Chibi Town a hundred steps away from him. Chibi Town is a small town with about a hundred families. Most of them sat on the ground for Jia Guren called business operators and shop operators on the ground for Jia.

There are dozens of shops, hostels, taverns, brothels, ingredients, groceries, etc. on both sides of a main street, mainly doing business for customers across the river.

Many ships passing through the river will also dock in Chibi and go ashore to drink and buy things, so Chibi Town seems quite lively.

The first restaurant at the entrance of the town is the tavern referred to by the bartender. It is a two-story building with a vegetable garden behind it, covering an area of ​​about two acres. There is a horse tying pile in front of the gate, and more than a dozen horses were tied up. A wooden pole was erected next to it, with wine banners on it, black sides and yellow bottoms, and the words "Fighting Chunlaiju" written on it.

Liu Jing was anxious to cross the river. He was hesitating. The follower smiled and said, "How about General Liu go to have a drink first, and I will go to the dock to arrange the boat, and then come over,"

Liu Jing nodded, this is OK. At this time, the bartender smiled and said, "There are friends of Jun Ye in the tavern. They recognized Jun Ye and asked the villain to greet him."

"friend"

Liu Jing was slightly stunned. He couldn't remember any friends he would have in Jiangxia County. He looked at the tavern in confusion. His curiosity finally made him urge his horse to go to the tavern.

The business in the tavern is not too good. The second floor is basically empty, with less than half of the guests sitting on the first floor. It is rare and about a dozen people.

As soon as Liu Jing arrived at the door, he saw the two men sitting at the door, one man and the other woman, both very young. The boy was about the same age as him, with a tall figure, a tiger's eyes and a high nose, slightly dark skin, wearing a brocade robe, a leather belt, and a heroic figure, but his eyes were particularly hot at his war horse.

Liu Jing recognized the girl sitting opposite him at a glance. Isn’t it the little girl who fought with him on Xingchunqiao to kill Huang Yi’s slave? It turned out to be her

When the girl saw Liu Jing, she quickly stood up with a smile, "General, do you still know me?"

Liu Jing nodded, "I feel relieved that the girl can leave Wuchang City safely."

He tied the horse to the horse tethering pile, and ordered the bartender to get the horse materials and clear water. Then he walked into the tavern, bowed and smiled slightly, "I didn't expect to meet a girl again in Chibi. It turns out that we don't meet in life."

The girl no longer dressed in a black dress and a red cloak last time, but was wearing a long waist-length skirt. The white long skirt was tied to her armpits, making her look slender and pretty. She also wore a thick short jacket on her upper body, and a fiery red fox skin was surrounded by a snow-white neck.

At this time, she had no murderous aura on her body, and the dagger and the war bow disappeared, becoming gentle and virtuous. Although she was a little childish, she had an indescribable elegance in her every move, which was completely different from the murderous little girl last time.

The girl Yingying gave a gift, "Thank you, the young master, for taking responsibility for it, so that I can leave Wuchang City safely. The little girl is very grateful."

Although she practices martial arts and hates evil and kills people regardless of the consequences, her mind becomes very delicate when she is quiet. Liu Jing takes the consequences of the murder with all her might, and her heart is like a mirror.

"The girl is over the award"

Liu Jing smiled and replied, not taking this matter to heart. He glanced out of the corner of his eyes, but found that the boy next to him was a little absent-minded, looking at his war horse from time to time, and an unconcealable look of longing appeared in his eyes, which made Liu Jing feel a little alert. Could it be that they were coming for their war horses.

He coughed softly and smiled at the young man: "I am Liu Jian, a garrison commander in Jingzhou Army. May I ask my brother and respect his surname."

The boy's eyes quickly retracted, and he seemed a little panicked, as if someone had seen through his mind. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "I'm the next name Tao, a native of Chaisang. General can call me Silang. This is my little sister. Thank you for your help in Wuchang City."

Only then did Liu Jing understand their identities. It turned out to be the Chaisang Tao family, no wonder they looked like rich people.

"Young Master Tao, don't be polite. Actually, I should be thanking Ling Mei for helping me."

"Hehe General is too modest."

The young man waved his hand and smiled, "Please sit down, General."

Liu Jingqian asked for a few words and sat down. The angle where he sat was sitting was just right to see the horses outside the tavern. The boy ordered someone to drink again, and then asked with a smile: "I heard from the accent, the general seems to be from Taishan County, how could he join the army in Jingzhou?"

"The world is in chaos, what's impossible?"

Liu Jing smiled faintly, took out a small treasure bag from his arms, carefully took out a golden hairpin from the bag, and handed it back to the girl, "This is the girl's golden hairpin, it's so exquisite, I hope I haven't broken it."

The girl's eyes lit up and she took the golden hairpin with a smile, "I thought I had lost it, but it turned out that it was picked up by the young master. This was my mother who gave me. Thank you so much."

At this time, the young man looked at the war horse outside the tavern again, and he finally couldn't help saying, "General Liu, the war horse outside the door was obtained from Zhang Wu."

"It was Zhang Wu who was killed by me that his horse will naturally belong to me. I think the young master seems to be very interested in this horse."

The boy bit his lips and plucked up his courage and said, "To be honest, we came to Jiangxia for this war horse. There is a white tear mark under the right eye of this horse. The name is Lu, which is a famous horse in the world. I am willing to pay a hundred gold coins to buy this horse. I wonder if the general can give up his love."

Liu Jing laughed. This young man really didn't understand the worldly ways. He actually said that he was a famous horse in the world and had to buy a hundred gold medals. No one would sell it anymore.

Liu Jing shook his head, "Even if it's a daughter, I won't sell it."

The boy's face changed, he was stunned for a while, and drank the wine in his glass. The girl next to him smiled and said, "General Liu, we have been paying attention to this horse since last year and sent someone to contact Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu also promised to give this horse to us. Unexpectedly, a war broke out. Zhang Wu died unexpectedly and the horse was also obtained by the general. This made us very regretful. If the general trusted us, he could go to the Chaisang Tao family with us. We are willing to exchange three thousand taels of gold for this horse. I wonder if the general agreed."

"It turns out that it was for this horse that the girl and I met again in Red Cliff. It seems that you have noticed me a long time ago."

Liu Jing shook his head, "What a pity I won't change the money."

As soon as Liu Jing finished speaking, the boy slapped his ear cup on the table and said coldly: "I am polite to you because you help the sister in Wuchang City and discuss with you. Otherwise, we would have done it long ago. If the surname Liu, don't toast and not eat the punishment."

"Does Mr. Tao want to steal my horse?" Liu Jing's tone became colder, and he was facing tit for tit.

"I just advise you to be a master of the times. Your martial arts are not even as good as a sister in the house, let alone me, and there are other people, please open your eyes and take a look."

When the boy said this, more than a dozen drinkers next to him stood up, each with burly figures and sharp eyes. Everyone had a sharp knife around their waists. They sealed the door and windows, leaving Liu Jing nowhere to escape.

Liu Jing smiled, "It seems that I can only be a hero who knows the times and give the war horse hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly started and reached out to grab the girl in front of him. Before the girl could resist, he had already strangled the girl's neck and a dagger with a flashing cold light hit her beautiful cheek.

The girl responded very quickly, and her elbow suddenly hit Liu Jing's chest. Liu Jing groaned, and the dagger in her hand strengthened, and a shallow blood mark appeared on the skin of her delicate cheeks.

"If you dare to do something random, you will be disfigured."

The girl was not afraid of death, but was extremely afraid of breaking her appearance. She killed a hundred Liu Jing, but could not change her appearance like a flower and jade. Her tight fists couldn't help but let go of her again, and she felt extremely hatred in her heart, shouting: "Shameless man, please let me go."

Liu Jing grabbed the girl, as well as the girl's resistance and subsequent surrender, all completed in an instant. It was not until this time that her brother and the surrounding entourage reacted.

"You're bold"

The boy was furious and slapped the table and stood up, "Let her go"

More than a dozen followers around him drew their swords and surrounded him. Liu Jing stood up, dragged the girl against the wall, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I just don't know the current affairs. If you want her to die, just come forward."

All the followers looked at the young man. The young man grew up in a good education and was always arrogant and did not understand the sins of the world. He never dreamed that Liu Jing dared to take his sister hostage, which was simply a brave man. He didn't know that Liu Jing had always dared to act, and there was nothing in the world that he dared not do.

The boy was a little confused for a moment. If something happened to his sister, how could he explain to his mother and second brother that he took a deep breath, and quickly waved his hand, "Let her go, I don't want your horse anymore."

Liu Jing can see more clearly that the young man's weakness is more precious to them than the princess. This is their weakness. In this way, how could he let her go

Liu Jing sneered and shouted sternly: "Go to the side of me."
