Chapter 370: The Return of the Flying General
Ding Yuan looked at Lu Bu who was gradually approaching him in shock, and felt an inexplicable great fear. He really couldn't figure out why Lu Bu was not dead, and he came back at this time.
Time went back to the rainy night a few days ago.
In the heavy rain, Lu Bu was chased by archers led by Zhang Yang and forced to the bank of the Yellow River.
In front of him was the turbulent Yellow River water, and behind him were the gradually approaching pursuers. Lu Bu had no choice but to ride his horse along the river bank, hoping to find a way to escape.
However, there are cliffs on both sides of the river bank, and there is no possibility of climbing.
Lu Bu was desperate and could only wander around the place. He still had no idea why there would be ambush when he went to the village according to Ding Yuan's instructions, and why did these officers and soldiers ambush him?
But now he had no chance to figure out all this. He knew very well that once the pursuer archers approached, he would be penetrated by thousands of arrows.
Just when Lu Bu was at a loss, the Red Tu horse under his crotch turned around uncontrollably and ran again in the direction of his origin.
Lu Bu didn't understand what the purpose of the Red Tu horse was. He thought that it was a dead end, so he simply let the Red Tu horse gallop.
The Chitu horse ran forward for a while, suddenly turned around again, and ran towards the Yellow River at a faster speed.
At this time, Lu Bu understood the intention of Chitu Horse. It actually wanted to sprint with all its strength and then fly across the river.
There was a rain curtain in front of Lu Bu, and he couldn't see clearly the situation at too long distance ahead.
But just listening to the surging waves below, he could also judge that the width of the two banks of the river must be more than several meters. Although the Chituma is brave, he is afraid that he will not have the ability to jump through...
Lu Bu hesitated whether to tighten the reins and stop the behavior of Chituma.
At this moment, the Chitu horse made a neighing sound of "Xilulu", and its four hooves flew, galloping at a faster speed.
Lu Bu was infected by the cry of Chitu Horse. If he died, he would just fight. Even if he fell into the river, it would be better than being penetrated by thousands of arrows.
Lu Bu loosened the reins of the horse, waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and also let out a long roar in response to the neighing of the Red Tu horse.
Each person and each horse are majestic and heading towards the Yellow River in front of you.
Chitu horse rushed to the river and jumped forward. Lu Bu felt his body hanging in the air, wind and rain kept passing by his ears, and the sound of the surging river water under his feet, and his whole body seemed to be flying...
Finally, the horse's hooves stepped onto the ground, and the huge downward momentum made the horse's front legs weak and lean forward.
Lu Bu hurriedly controlled his body immediately, so he did not fall from the horse.
He tried hard to control his body, then flew off the horse and checked the situation of the Chitu horse. This leap exhausted the Chitu horse's strength. Coupled with the impact of the reaction force when he landed, the Chitu horse's body kept trembling, obviously injured.
Lu Bu tried hard to look up at the other side, but in the rain and fog, he could not see clearly how far the leap of Chituma had flew.
I can only say that at that moment just now, Chituma surpassed the limit and led him to escape from the heavens.
Lu Bu lay beside Chituma, rubbed his abdomen and horse legs, and gave it a relaxing massage.
After a long time, it was not until the heavy rain in the sky slowly stopped and a trace of white fish belly appeared in the sky, and the red horse slowly stopped trembling.
Lu Bu was afraid of being discovered by the pursuers on the other side, so he did not dare to stay any longer. He led the Chitu horse and slowly left to the distance.
Lu Bu led the Chituma and found a small village, took out the money and asked for a stay, so that the Chituma could rest well. After several days, the Chituma completely recovered and then returned to Jinyang.
When he returned to Jinyang, he rushed directly to the governor's mansion. Now he was eager to know why he was ambushed and the three thousand subordinates died in vain. What is the reason!
When Ding Yuan saw Lu Bu speeding over, he didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking now. He was so scared that his legs were weak and he didn't even have the courage to escape.
Lu Bu rushed to Ding Yuan, flew down and immediately saluted Ding Yuan: "Greetings to the lord!"
Ding Yuan was originally very frightened and nervous, but when he saw Lu Bu saluting him, he immediately calmed down and realized that Lu Bu didn't know what he had done.
Ding Yuan quickly looked surprised, hugged Lu Bu's shoulders, and said with red eyes: "Fengxian, is it really you back? Fengxian, I'm not dreaming, right?"
Ding Yuan's play was very realistic, which made the innocent Lu Bu instantly move. He responded: "Master, I'm back."
"It's good to be back. I know that something happened to you, and I can't sleep all night, and I regret it. You can actually get rid of danger. This is really God's blessing." Ding Yuan saw that Lu Bu was not hostile to him and continued to act.
"Lord, why did I go to Maocun as you ordered, but I was ambushed? Who ambushed me?!" Lu Bu calmed down and began to think of the key questions, and asked Ding Yuan.
"Oh, it's all my fault for making mistakes. At that time, I received a letter from the imperial court to suppress the thieves. I thought they would search along another line, so I sent you instructions to go to Maocun."
"But who would have thought that shortly after the order I sent you, I received a letter from reinforcements from the court, claiming that they had found traces of the Black Mountain Army near Maocun and wanted to set up an ambush to attack."
"I know you are in danger, so I hurried to send someone to inform you, but it was raining heavily and the road was difficult. By the time the messenger arrived, you were ambushed by the imperial officers and soldiers and lost contact."
Ding Yuan looked heartbroken and weaved lies to coax Lu Bu.
Lu Bu obviously felt suspicious about Ding Yuan's explanation. He looked at Ding Yuan and did not respond.
Ding Yuan saw the suspicion in Lu Bu's expression and immediately pulled him and said, "Fengxian, you and I have worked together for many years. You are my most valued assistant. You and I are like father and son. How could I harm you?! Come with me."
Ding Yuan pulled Lu Bu to the mansion and took him directly to the side hall of the governor's mansion.
This place has been decorated as a mourning hall, with Lu Bu's spiritual throne and incense offerings.
Ding Yuan pointed to the mourning hall, took out another official document, and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, after knowing that something happened to you, I was very sad. I worship here day and night, and I am also preparing to write a letter to the court to ask you for a posthumous title. Can these be arranged in advance and come specifically to deceive you?"
Seeing all this, Lu Bu was completely blinded and looked at Ding Yuan and said guiltily: "The lord had the kindness of knowing Lu Bu first, and knew that something happened to his subordinates and made such arrangements. This shows his lord's kindness. How dare Lu Bu have any doubts? It can only be said that luck is a mess, and everything is a misunderstanding."
Ding Yuan was secretly happy when he saw Lu Bu believe his lies. Unexpectedly, everything he arranged according to Ren Hongchang's request in the end saved his life.
"Fengxian, since you are back, that's the best. You'll stay in the mansion and serve me in the future." Ding Yuan continued to comfort Lu Bu.
"Don't worry, lord, Lu Bu should be loyal to him." Lu Bu saluted Ding Yuan, and then said, "Lord, Lu Bu is afraid that his wife will be concerned about it, so he will go back first and go to the mansion to obey the orders tomorrow."
When Ding Yuan heard that Lu Bu was leaving, hesitated and said, "Bengxian, you won't see Mrs. Zun when you go home..."
