Chapter 391: Still want to make a comeback? Old enemy, I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!
The silver-armored general recognized Wen Chou.

Old memories can't help but come to mind.

That was when Yuan Shao seized Jizhou by fraud. Gongsun Zan led his troops south to compete with Yuan Shao for Jizhou, and then for the position of overlord of Hebei.

Unexpectedly, in the Battle of Jie Bridge, the White Horse Volunteers were almost wiped out and suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Yuan Shao.

Yuan's army pursued the victory, and Wen Chou also pursued Gongsun Zan relentlessly, and ended up meeting him halfway.

At that time, he had just joined the army and his martial arts skills had not yet fully matured. He fought with Wen Chou for dozens of rounds but there was no clear winner.

Wen Chou was amazed at his martial arts, and seeing that Gongsun Zan had fled far away, he retreated.

Although it was only a one-sided battle, he remembered Wen Chou's appearance in his heart.

I didn't expect to run into this old enemy today in the north of Yijing.

Judging from Wen Chou's appearance, it seems that he is fleeing in defeat.

The more than one hundred Wei cavalrymen were surrounding a carriage, seemingly protecting some important person to escape.

"Could it be that Lord Xuande has already conquered Yijing and Yuan Shang has fled?"

The silver-armored general reacted quickly, this suspicion immediately flashed through his mind, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

Regardless of whether Yuan Shang was defeated or not, we cannot just ignore the fact that we have run into Wen Chou here today.

"This thief is a general of the Yuan family. If I can kill him, it will be considered as a gift of surrender to Lord Xuande..."

A thought flashed through the silver-armored warrior's mind, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"White Horse Volunteers, listen to my orders, follow me to wipe out these Wei bandits!"

"Don't let any of them escape!"

The silver-armored warrior let out a sharp roar and pointed the silver spear in his hand at the enemy at the bottom of the slope.

The white horse and the silver spear whizzed down, like a long white rainbow, swooping down.

Behind him, there were more than fifty knights on white horses, all of them were in high spirits, and they rushed down with murderous intent in their hearts.

On the avenue.

Wen Chou was still protecting Yuan Shang and hurried north.

Seeing that the Black Mountain Army behind him had been left far behind and seemed to have escaped, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his horse slightly.

"My king, my queen mother, we have escaped our pursuers. Are you all right?"

Wen Chou approached the carriage and asked with a bow.

The car window opened, Yuan Shang stuck his head out, looked back and saw that there were no pursuers behind him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wen Ziqin, you have done a great job in protecting the emperor. I will never forget this contribution!"

"When I recover the lost territory and rebuild the country, I will definitely make you the general of the Wei Dynasty!"

Yuan Shang, who had escaped death, was delighted and made a great promise to Wen Chou.

Wen Chou did not eat the cake, but raised a bitter smile:

"Your Majesty, the situation has come to this point. Let's not talk about recovering lost territory or rebuilding our country. Let's first escape to Bingzhou alive."

From his words, it was obvious that he no longer had any hope for the resurgence of Wei.

In his opinion, being able to protect Yuan Shang and successfully escape to Bingzhou and being able to survive was a blessing in disguise.

Yuan Shang swallowed his saliva, looking slightly displeased, obviously dissatisfied with Wen Chou's attitude.

But now he still has to rely on Wen Chou, so even if he is unhappy, he cannot show it.

He coughed dryly a few times and was about to say a few words to encourage morale.

Wen Chou's eyes moved and he noticed something unusual.

"My king, where is the queen mother?"

He was busy escaping and didn't pay attention to what happened in the car. Naturally, he didn't notice that Liu had been kicked out of the car by Yuan Shang.

Now that the situation has stabilized, with his keen military acumen, how could he not notice that Liu was no longer in the car.

"My queen mother, she..."

Yuan Shang looked embarrassed and mumbled, not knowing how to explain.

Should he tell Wen Chou directly that he kicked his biological mother off the carriage in order to save his own life?

Who can still accept you when you speak of such a heartless and beastly act that is almost matricide?

You, Yuan Shang, can even sacrifice your own mother at the critical moment, let alone us, the outsiders and ministers?

Wouldn't Wen Chou be so disappointed that he would still be willing to work for you and escort you to Bingzhou?
But Wen Chou is not stupid.

Just from Yuan Shang's hesitant attitude, Wen Chou guessed most of what was going on. He was suddenly startled and his face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, you actually gave the Queen Mother to—"

Wen Chou exclaimed and almost blurted out the truth.

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and sighed bitterly:
"Just now the enemy was chasing us too fast. When my mother saw that we were about to be caught up by the Chu army, she jumped out of the carriage to reduce the weight!"

"No matter how hard I tried to stop her, I couldn't. My mother was determined to jump out of the car. She even threatened me that if I stopped the car to save her, she would commit suicide on the spot!"

"Mother, oh mother, you sacrificed yourself to save your useless son~~"

Yuan Shang instantly made up a touching story about a great mother who sacrificed herself for a child. As he spoke, he seemed to believe it himself. He fell on the carriage and burst into tears.

Wen Chou was not moved to the point of tears in his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be half-believing and half-doubting.

He had heard about the temperament of Queen Mother Liu.

To put it bluntly, Chunchun is a jealous woman.

She is also a jealous woman with an extremely cruel and vicious heart.

The Queen Mother took advantage of Yuan Shao's coma and killed more than a dozen of his concubines in one breath!
Even before killing them, he destroyed the looks of those concubines!
Would such a vicious and jealous woman really choose to sacrifice herself and jump off the carriage resolutely in order to save her son's life?

I don’t believe it… “Your Majesty… The Queen Mother sacrificed herself to save Your Majesty. This love for her son is truly moving and touching. I respect you so much.”

"Besides, Liu Bei has always been hypocritical and may not kill the Queen Mother. Your Majesty will be reunited with the Queen Mother and her son in the future, so you should take care of your health."

Although Wen Chou was skeptical, he was tactful enough to cooperate with Yuan Shang in the play, pretending to believe it and even gave him some earnest advice to comfort him.

Yuan Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and said resolutely:

"Ziqin, you are right. For the sake of my mother, I must protect my body and my life!"

"Let's set off for Bingzhou as soon as possible. I will seize the Bingzhou Legion from my useless second brother as soon as possible so that we can regroup and recover the lost territory!"

Yuan Shang, who had escaped, regained his confidence and began to dream again.

Wen Chou's reaction was calm, and he still said the same thing:
"Let's retreat to Bingzhou smoothly first, and then talk about other things."

After saying this, Wen Chou no longer paid attention to Yuan Shang and urged his soldiers to speed up their journey.

suddenly!

Rumbling thunder suddenly rang in my ears, and on the hillside beside the road, dozens of cavalrymen on white horses galloped down, sweeping up the air with wild dust.

"White...White Horse Volunteers?"

Wen Chou let out a cry of surprise, and in an instant he seemed to see the dead legion, as if it had suddenly been reborn.

But the next moment, he calmed down and regained his composure.

The White Horse Volunteers had been destroyed as early as Jieqiao, and Gongsun Zan had been dead for many years. How could there still be any White Horse Volunteers?
The unknown cavalry in front of them did not look like the Chu army's armor and flags. They must be some mountain bandits who wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob.

"You are such audacious bandits, you dare to rob anyone's carriage, you are courting death!"

Wen Chou snorted disdainfully and struck with his spear:
"Protect the king and destroy these ignorant bandits!"

More than a hundred Yulin Guards immediately formed a battle array around the carriage, ready to fight against the "bandits".

They had no confidence in dealing with the Chu army, but they had absolute confidence in dealing with a group of unorganized bandits.

In a blink of an eye, the white horse cavalry came like the wind.

The sound of killing suddenly arose, and blood mist flew everywhere.

The Wei army soon discovered that something was wrong.

The fighting power of this "rabble" was so terrifying that a single charge disrupted their formation.

Gun shadows flashed by, and in a blink of an eye, the Wei army was stabbed to the ground in large numbers, and was put in a passive situation of being beaten.

"A bunch of bandits actually have such fighting power?"

The disdain on Wen Chou's face was instantly replaced by surprise, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Wen Chou!"

"I'll see where you go now, or you'll die!"

A dragon roar and a tiger roar were heard.

From the side, a general on a white horse and holding a silver spear came roaring towards him, walking on a bloody path like a white dragon.

The silver spear in his hand was filled with strength, and with the power of a storm, it stabbed forward with great force.

The momentum is as if the God of War from the Ninth Heaven has suddenly descended!

Wen Chou raised his head and suddenly felt that he had seen that face somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was for a moment.

When he was distracted for a moment, the silver spear came like thunder and lightning.

Wen Chou had no time to think about it, so he took a deep breath and quickly blocked the attack with the spear in his hand.

"Bang!"

The sound of the sky collapsing pierced the eardrums.

Wen Chou's spear, which he had wielded with all his strength, was shaken in an instant, his palm felt numb, and his internal blood was churning.

"This guy actually has such martial arts skills?"

Wen Chou's face suddenly changed. He obviously didn't expect that a mere bandit could make him so embarrassed with just one move.

The silver-armored general did not give him a chance to breathe. The silver spear in his hand transformed into spear shadows that filled the sky, like countless silver dragons descending from the sky, attacking him in an overwhelming manner.

Wen Chou took a deep breath, no longer daring to underestimate the enemy, and used all his strength to wield his spear to resist.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

The two huge spears collided in mid-air at a lightning speed, and the splashing air currents made Wen Chou feel a dull pain as if a knife was scraping his face.

Within seven moves, Wen Chou was suppressed and at a disadvantage.

Wen Chou was completely shocked.

As one of the four pillars of Hebei, one of the two heroes of Hebei, and a fierce general as famous as Yan Liang, he boasted that his martial arts was second only to Yan Liang in Hebei.

With his own martial arts skills, if he met a peerless warrior like Guan Yu, he would be defeated.

After all, Guan Yu was able to compete with Lu Bu and kill Yan Liang. He was like a god-like general.

In addition, he was confident that no one in the entire Hebei Province could be his opponent, whether it was the Wei army or the Chu army.

But Wen Chou never expected that the unknown bandit he met on the way of escape had such unbelievable martial arts skills that he could suppress him in just a few moves.

There is such a powerful man hiding in Hebei?
"Who are you? Who are you?"

Wen Chou was shocked and asked in a loud voice.

The silver-armored general forced Wen Chou to retreat with a spear and said proudly:

"Wen Chou, you and I fought each other in the battle at Jie Bridge. Don't you recognize me?"

"I am an old general under General Gongsun, Zhao Yun from Changshan!"
