Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 166

    The first autumn rain has just fallen. This is the 38th rain in Lujiang since the beginning of summer this year. The sky was overcast, as if there were endless tears, floating in the air.

    There is no sunlight during the grain filling period, and large areas of rice and millet rot in the fields. The poor people in Qianshou can only make ends meet with pitiful apricots and dates. Soon, all the wild fruits that could be found were eaten, and people began to eat wild vegetables, mussels, and even loaches and snakes. Then, with the increasingly turbid river water, strange diseases such as edema and diarrhea broke out in various places.

    Public grievances boil over. This was also the main reason for Yuan Shu’s total collapse after the summer harvest season.

    When it was time to flee, the soldiers who were still following Yuan Shu were also indifferent. Rather than saying that they are a unit that retains their last loyalty, it is better to say that they are a community of interests that have to be together in order to increase the chance of escape.

    However, Yuan Shu still lacks self-awareness, or in other words, the noble son of the Yuan family has always lacked self-awareness towards the attitude of the lower class.

    “Hurry up! Hurry up! Work harder! When you reach my concubine, you will all be rewarded.” With Yuan Shu’s hoarse voice, he broke a carriage on the dirt road. Fast Benz. The muddy water splashed from both sides of the wheel, sprayed the face of the soldier beside the car, and then mixed with the rainwater, flowing down his withered face.

      The wagon kept rolling over dirt and stones that had been washed away by the rain. The fine gold and red lacquer is covered in mud, and it no longer looks like it was once radiant. The umbrella cover on the roof of the car has long disappeared. Yuan Shu relied on the emperor’s mian to keep out the rain, and his beard was soaked.

    But even so, he was much better than the soldiers who were trudging through the mud and falling behind.

    The rain gradually eased, and the sky was still smudged with gray clouds like ink. The fog in front slowly dissipated, revealing a hill covered with chestnut trees.

    “Where’s Liu Yao? Has Liu Yao caught up to you?” Yuan Shu turned his head to look, his wet hair was stuck in a ball at this time, and he almost threw him out with the shaky Twelve. . “Have Liu Yao’s soldiers caught up? Ah?!”

    The little soldier who was talking back and forth at the back saw that his leg was about to break, and he grabbed the cab: “Report, huhu, I didn’t see any chasing soldiers.”

    Yuan Shu didn’t care about the other party’s poor manners at this time, and he didn’t call him “Your Majesty”. He patted his chest: “It’s fine if I don’t catch up, it’s fine if I don’t catch up. It’ll be fine when I leave the Yangzhou boundary. Xuzhou Taoqian has always been honest, I borrowed troops from him… Maybe I don’t need to go to Jizhou to find that scumbag. .”

    He took a package from his chest, looking like a giant square stamp. Unbuttoning the outermost layer of cloth, there is still a letter inside, which is Yuan Shao’s letter agreeing to accept him (and his imperial jade seal).

    Yuan Shu stared at the letter with a distressed and unwilling expression on his face. “That bastard, I can’t think of it…” He whispered, but he didn’t throw the letter away after all. Yuan Shu wrapped the seals and letters again. During such an escape, the cloth bag was actually well protected and dry.

    “Let’s go,” Yuan Shu said to his men, “Go north and go to Xuzhou.”

    “My lord, half of the people didn’t follow. Is it…”

    “What is it?! We’ve been waiting for a cup of tea here. Those who didn’t come would have already been Liu Yao’s ghost. Let’s go!” He was also wearing a luxurious suit Yuan Shu rolled up his sleeves and whipped the whip fiercely, causing countless mud spots.

    The wheels turned slowly and started again. After passing the boundary monument in front, it is Xuzhou. And Tao Qian was one of the few princes who did not send troops to Shouchun this time.

    “How many people want my imperial jade seal, do you know?! Jiujiang County is full of people who want to pick it up, do you know?! Damn it! Damn it! Damn Cao Cao! Damn it! Liu Yao! Damn it…” The long-lost sun showed a ray of light from behind the dark clouds, but Yuan Shu became more and more irritable, cursing endlessly. The soldiers bowed their heads and listened silently, not even bothering to take care of the mud spots on their bodies.

    In this way, this team with only one person chatting while the others were eerily silent crossed the boundary.

    “Yuan Gonggong, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” With an excited shout, a force suddenly appeared on the hill, holding the banner of Tao Qian high. Taking a closer look, the leader was Tao Qian’s general Zang Ba.

    Yuan Shu still didn’t understand something. Fighting for the deer, he was regarded as the deer. There are 5,000 elite soldiers on the other side, but what about your side? Hundreds of weak remnants of defeated generals. Counting left and right is a proposition.

    “Hahahaha.” Yuan Shu laughed, “Tao Qian usually pretends to be indifferent to the world, but the result? It’s not because he covets the national jade seal. This is a treasure that conforms to God’s will, how could he choose The fearful Tao Qian.”

    “Shut up!” Zang Ba drew out his knife.

    “Oh. Really want to kill me? You can think about it, my Yuan family’s disciples are all over Xuzhou, killing me is easy. It’s a fool’s dream! General Zang, you can think about it, don’t bring trouble to your lord.”

    “It’s not impossible to keep you alive.” Zang Ba looked at Yuan Shu, who was in a state of embarrassment, “hand over the jade seal and let you go.”

    Yuan Shu’s face was ashen.

    “Pay or not?” Zang Ba smiled.

    Yuan Shu held the package tightly in his arms, and his hands began to tremble. “Destiny” or life, that is the question.

    Fortunately, God did not let Yuan Shu struggle with this issue for too long. “Yuan Shu, accept your fate!” Accompanied by an angry rebuke with a crisp voice from a young man, a cavalryman in black clothes and red trousers sprang out from the wet grass, and with the galloping force of the horses, the spear flew away. Yuan Bing.

    “Yuan Shu!” Sun Ce reined in the reins, his handsome face that had just grown a fluffy beard twisted slightly, but finally returned to a steel-like seriousness, “Today I will avenge my father’s revenge.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, more and more black cavalry came out of the grass path and stood behind Sun Ce, the number increasing. The two youngsters who appeared at last, one was Cao Ang and the other was Zhou Yu, looked at Sun Ce with worry.

    “Bo Fu,” Zhou Yu slapped the horse forward, gently holding down Sun Ce’s gun holding hand, “Bo Fu calm down. For the long term, Yuan Shu can only be killed by Duke Cao, we agreed before. And why did you run out today? Are you not afraid that Cao Nv will not be happy?”

    Sun Ce’s brows were so tight that he almost killed the fly. “I will use Yuan Shu’s head to comfort my father in the spirit of heaven.”

    Why are you so stubborn? Zhou Yu had no choice but to turn to Cao Ang for help: “Zixiu, stop him quickly.”

    Cao Ang, Cao Ang blinked, his face innocent.

    Why are you so cute at this time? Zhou Yu was about to go crazy. This really wants Sun Ce to kill Yuan Shu. No matter how lenient Cao Cao is, he will probably have a grudge against this son-in-law.

    According to the predetermined plan, they just drove Yuan Shu away from behind, forcing him to go to Jizhou, so they had an excuse to attack Yuan Shao. Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would be so useless, he would have nowhere to go as soon as he left Yangzhou.

    Seeing that Yuan Shu was about to be killed, Sun Ce became anxious and jumped out to grab the head. But this head can’t be robbed, not only because the dropped item is the jade seal of “whoever takes it will die”; this head is also a symbol of “whoever kills and becomes king”.

    In Cao Ying, it is extremely used, and Cao Cao almost treats a few of the Sun family as his sons. Who is willing to turn his face in this situation? Zhou Yu was not happy anyway.

    Yuan Shu felt a chill in his heart since Sun Ce appeared. The scene of this kid beheading his three generals in a row in Shouchun City seems to be still in front of him, and Sun Bofu is fascinated by the revenge of killing his father. , he may not even take a second look.

    What to do?

    He rolled his eyes in despair, and finally found the only one who could save him from Sun Ce – Cao Ang. He was the son of Cao Cao, Sun Ce’s boss, and was higher in status than Sun Ce. If Sun Ce wanted to stay in Cao’s camp, he had to listen to Cao Ang.

    Thinking like this, Yuan Shu was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and shouted loudly: “My nephew Zixiu, save me—I am willing to present the jade seal. Where is destiny.”

    The eyes of Zang Ba in front are about to bulge out, and the fat in his mouth is about to fly? “My lord, Yuan Shu is going to surrender to Cao Jun, let’s hurry up, don’t be preempted by a few boys.”

    Tao Qian was afraid: “Sun Bofu is known to the world for his bravery. Cao Ang brings all the elites of Cao’s army, commonly known as flying eagle riders, who are not afraid of death. The record of the Xiqiang battle to the last man. With such an army, they can’t let them retreat in spite of the difficulties. Fighting to the death means that they will never die with Cao Cao.”

    Zang Ba was still not reconciled, and ordered the archer to draw the bow. But Tao Qian above was cowardly, and he just let the archers draw their bows.

    Yuan Shu is still enticing: “Zixiu has many virtuous nephews and nephews, and he can only stand out if he has established merits. If you have the credit of retrieving the jade seal, you will definitely be loved by your respect, and in the future, it will be the capital to disdain the brothers. .”

    Cao Ang smiled, as if he just understood what Yuan Shu was saying.

    “Cao Zixiu, if you stop me today, we won’t be friends.” Sun Ce looked at him sideways, his voice seemed to come out of his throat.

    Cao Ang released his bow and knocked Sun Ce’s spear down. “Gong Jin is right, it’s not appropriate for you to do this.”

    Sun Ce was about to change his face when he saw Cao Ang bend a bow and shoot an arrow, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at Yuan Shu: “Yuan Gonggong, what you said is very good. However, you regard it as a treasure of life, and I will leave it here for you. not worth.”

    Follow the string and the arrow will come out.

    Under everyone’s attention, the black steel arrow engraved with the word “Ang” broke through the air, penetrated the square package on Yuan Shu’s chest, and then pierced through Yuan Shu’s chest .

    Fake? Even Sun Ce was stunned, not even hearing the sound of the broken stone that killed his father.

    “The so-called jade seal that passed the country was originally made by the violent Qin Dynasty. The five emperors did not have the jade seal, but the people still surrendered. Loyal to the benevolent king, to appease the kind people, I don’t know there is a jade seal.” After saying this, Cao Ang drew back his bow, and his face still had the smile that was out of state.

    “Since the mission has changed, Gong Jin, shouldn’t we go back to report? Bo Fu, tomorrow is a big day for you. If you don’t leave, you won’t be in time for the auspicious time. There are even offerings to sacrifice to Uncle Sun, which is very good, very good.”

    Sun Ce froze for a while, then slapped the horse forward, chopped off Yuan Shu’s head with a knife, threw Tian Zi Mian, and left with his hair in hand.

    The black cavalry followed silently and disappeared into the woods. Then came Yuan Shu’s remnants, shouting “surrender” and following him away. Only Cao Ang’s still absent voice floated in the air: “Uncle Tao, the eldest sister’s wedding tomorrow, why don’t you come with us for a drink?”

    Tao Qian’s back was full of cold sweat: “No, no, no. I didn’t prepare gifts, so I won’t go.”
