【Chapter 517】Reunited after the catastrophe
Two days passed quickly.
The sun is in the sky, and the heat is getting thicker.
Above the river, seven ferries sailed against the wind and waves.
"Brother, turn around the river beside us and we will arrive at Bu Mansion!"
On the third ferry, Lu Su stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the turning of the river not far away, and said excitedly.
"Is that so? I'm back again!" Standing side by side with Lu Su, he was about to reach the river bank ferry in front of the Bu Mansion. Not only did Li Li's face not have much joy, but his expression was dim, and he felt a sense of melancholy that touched the scene.
"Uh?" Lu Su turned his head to look at Li Li when he heard the sound, and his expression changed slightly. He thought about it, "Did you think of Mrs. Bu who was killed again? If the foolish brother was not wrong, the brother would not have to be so sad.
Mrs. Bu is very wise and has a strong temperament. She sacrifices her life to be a benevolent after being humiliated. Her actions are respectable and her feelings are pitiful. However, if the old lady has a spirit in heaven, she would not want to see her brother so sad and painful. Furthermore, the elder brother follows the old lady's last order and kills Xiahou Dun with her own hands to avenge her. In this way, the elder brother has done everything he can do, and the rest is to treat Mrs. Lian and properly arrange the people who survived the Bu Mansion."
Li Li nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Although that's the case, no one can be ruthless than plants? I only met my aunt once, but she entrusted her life with her life. How can I repay such a great kindness? What's more, dozens of young and old people in the Bu Mansion died because of me and suffered undesirable disasters, so that the harmonious and beautiful Bu family destroyed their family, and all of this arises because I temporarily wanted to go and stay away.
Whenever I think of my aunt and the Bu family, I feel deeply guilty. I cannot forgive myself, and I cannot forgive my arrogantness that night. If I had taken action with Feihu and Zicheng, the two of me, took action together, then the result would not be the tragic situation now. It’s a pity that everything is irreversible now. It’s too late to regret it, and I can’t help it!”
Lu Su could understand Li Li's current mood, and could also guess why Li Li was sad about the scene. The source lies in Bu Lianshi.
Bu Lianshi is not only the only surviving direct clan of the Bu Mansion, Li Li's concubine, and also the biological daughter of the late Mrs. Bu. As long as Li Li sees Bu Lianshi, he will naturally think of Mrs. Bu who died for him. He will inevitably feel guilty and blame himself. He feels guilt in front of his own women. For a powerful overlord like Li Li, it is undoubtedly a torture, and over time it will become a psychological shadow that will never be gone.
However, such things cannot be avoided, and they cannot be avoided. They can only face them calmly and try to overcome psychological obstacles. It is just that others cannot help with such things. Only when Li Li himself completely figured it out and let it go can it be considered a solution. Apart from that, no one can help him.
"Look, two young men, there is someone building a bridge on the river ahead!" The old butler Lu Cheng suddenly said loudly.
Li Li nodded slightly. He pointed to the tallest two people among the many figures hundreds of steps ahead and introduced to Lu Su: "Look at Zijing, the two tallest people are Huan Fei and Li Zhi. The majestic and burly man is Huan Fei, whose courtesy name is Feihu, and is now the commander of the Feixiong Chongjia Battalion; the slightly thin person is Li Zhi. His courtesy name is Zicheng, and he has been my personal soldiers in recent years. These two are powerful generals on the battlefield. They are veritable enemies of thousands of people. They have followed me for many years and have made many military achievements.
The reason why I brought them with me during this trip to the south was that, one was that they were very skilled in martial arts and were invincible; the other was that they wanted them to come together to see the great rivers and mountains of our Han world and increase their experience, which would be beneficial to them in the future. The most important thing is that these two were both land generals, but they were not familiar with water. I repeatedly advised them to try to go into the water, but in the end they gave up halfway and failed. Unexpectedly, they dared to go into the water if I was not here these days. This was also a surprise!"
"Hahaha!" Lu Su smiled with a hearty smile and said, "It can be seen that his brother values Flying Tiger and General Zicheng very much, and he cultivates them carefully so that they can stand alone in the future. With their burly and tall bodies alone, I can fully imagine that these two people are indeed as their brother said, and they are all the unfair courage of thousands of men, and they are actually tiger generals in the world!"
Li Li nodded with a smile and said, "What Zijing said is not bad. Feihu is the first general under my tent, and Zicheng follows closely. In addition, there are three people who are called the Five Tiger Generals of Xiliang with them. However, this was the ranking two years ago. Now there are more than ten generals under my command who can be called tiger generals, and dozens of generals with top-notch skills. Some of them have gradually grown up in the past two years, just like my brother-in-law Ma Chao, second brother Fan Yong and younger brother Li Xian and other group of military generals, which have become more and more powerful in recent years. In addition, I have traveled to the Central Plains this time and have collected several tiger generals, two of whom are extremely successful. I can compete with Feihu and Zicheng in time. Hahaha!"
Lu Su knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and smiled and said, "In this way, in addition to traveling, the elder brother also had the intention of hiring talented and powerful generals. I guessed that the elder brother seemed to be recruiting one or two naval generals who were proficient in water warfare when he went south. I wonder if it was correct?"
"Hahaha! Zijing said it is right, I do have this intention." Li Li nodded with a smile, and then his tone suddenly changed, and he said with regret: "Although the idea is good, it actually has little effect. I don't expect that this time I encountered a great disaster, but by chance I met Zijing. It would be enough to have a good brother to help me!"
Just as Li Li and Lu Su were standing at the bow of the boat and talking, at the ferry in front of the Bu Mansion, Huan Fei and Li Zhi brought nearly a hundred people from the village Yongqing and Zheng, who had heard the news, to rebuild the ferry bridge. As of today, they have been busy for three days. A ferry bridge that is stronger than before has been formed. The wooden piles at the bottom of the river supporting the ferry bridge have been laid, and the ropes have also climbed on both sides. Today, the bridge deck wooden boards are being laid, and the construction will be completed and passed one day.
At this moment, Li Zhi, who was carrying wooden boards on the west bank, turned his head and glanced inadvertently, and was stunned for a moment, so that a pile of wooden boards on his shoulder fell to the ground in an uproar and failed to wake him up from the sluggishness.
"Zicheng, go quickly, why are you blocking the intersection?" Huan Fei, who was following Li Zhi, carried four horizontal trees on his shoulders. When he was stroking forward, he saw Li Zhi blocking the way, so he gently hit Li Zhi with the horizontal trees and said anxiously.
Li Zhi immediately woke up from the sluggishness, and then pointed his hand at the river downstream with surprise, and stuttered with excitement: "Fei, Fei, Fei Tiger, look, which one is standing on the boat, the bow, is the person on the head the head the main, the main,,,,,,,,?"
"Ah! Lord——" Before Li Zhi finished speaking, Huan Fei had already looked in the direction of his finger. At first glance, Huan Fei immediately exclaimed, threw off the crossbar on his shoulders, and ran downstream along the river bank.
"Bang———Ouch!" Before Li Zhi could finish his words, he was hit by the instep by the crossbow that Huan Fei threw away, causing him to burst into tears. But this time he woke him up completely. He immediately came first, jumped up and caught up with Huan Fei. Then he walked away like flying, and instantly left Huan Fei behind.
In terms of running speed alone, Huan Fei is far less than Li Zhi's running speed. Not only is he not as fast as Li Zhi, but even the generals of the entire Xiliang army are not as fast as Li Zhi. Among the thousands of generals in Xiliang, Li Zhi's running speed is definitely the first person. His legs are no less than those of the fast-moving war horses.
"Lord, Dude, Dude——" Although the running speed is not as good as Li Zhi, Huan Fei has a huge voice that is comparable to that of a bell. A shout shakes the world, and the deafening sound quickly echoes on both sides of the river.
"Uh!" Huan Fei's voice was too sudden, causing Lu Su to change his expression when he heard the sound. He looked at Huan Fei on the river bank two hundred steps away in horror, and exclaimed: "What a guy, this Huan Fei's voice is so loud. It's so far that my ears buzzed!"
"Hahaha!" After Li Li heard the sound, Huan Fei and Li Zhi on the other side waved, and then laughed happily. The joy of reunion after the disaster was unspeakable.
Hearing Lu Su's amazement, Li Li laughed and said, "Zi Jing's words are not bad at all. Huan Fei's voice is rare in ancient times. Within fifty steps, his sniff can scare the timid and weak people. Within ten steps, a loud shout can shock and injure all generals below the top-notch warriors. This is what I have seen with my own eyes, and it is by no means an exaggeration."
Lu Su nodded in agreement and said, "What my brother said is true, I have already understood it. And General Li Zhi, who is running towards us, is running too fast, and he is truly walking like flying!"
Li Li nodded slightly, then shouted to Li Zhi and said, "Zicheng, I'm back!"
After hearing the sound, Li Zhi, who was running wildly on the river bank, paused slightly, and then suddenly accelerated and ran to the shore more than twenty steps away from the ferry in an instant.
In an instant, Li Zhi kept rushing towards the river and rushed towards him. When he approached the river, he saw him jumping high with the help of the sprinting force and his body suddenly jumped to a height of several feet. He immediately slid in the air for several steps, and then he flipped two backs in a row, thus spanning more than ten steps, only six steps away from the ferry.
"Wow wow wow wow!" Just as Li Zhi was about to fall into the water, he suddenly saw him throwing out his right-hand chain. The chain was about two feet or five feet long, and the length of his arms, and just reached the ferry citrus. With a series of whirring sounds, the chains were instantly wrapped around the wooden pillars in the cabin, and the chains were tightened. Li Zhi took advantage of the chain's power and stepped on the water surface continuously and jumped onto the ferry.
The whole process was extremely smooth and it was completed in the blink of an eye. So the scene that fell into the eyes of ordinary entourage was that Li Zhi jumped over more than ten steps high, and then passed through the river like a dragonfly. After he completely stood firm, he suddenly appeared on the bow deck not far away next to Li Li.
"I will pay homage to my lord! After a rainy night, I will be afraid of the flood and dare not come forward, so that my lord fell into the torrent by the evil man, and his life and death are uncertain. I will be guilty, please punish me heavily!" As soon as I got on the boat, Li Zhi knelt in front of Li Li, bowing his head to apologize with shame.
"Zicheng get up quickly!" Li Lisheng pulled Li Zhi up and said with a smile: "Life and death are destined to be rich and noble, so how can the world be as satisfactory as possible? Zicheng must not blame himself. The previous incident was an impulse, and I fell into the trap of evil people without observing it. I should have this disaster. Now everything has passed, and I am living well now without any damage. Hahaha!"
