Chapter 750 He Who Bears Firewood for the Masses Must Not Be Allowed to Freeze to Death in the Wind and Snow

"Are you still worried?"

"Completely魂不守舍." (hún bù shǒu shě - with one's soul not guarding one's body; absent-minded)

On a modern street, Huo Qubing turned to look at the girl Su Yu'er, who had her head down, lost in thought. She shook her head, not answering, and just walked forward, not expecting the young general to stop suddenly.

Su Yu'er bumped into Huo Qubing's chest, grunting and stumbling back half a step.

She raised her head,捂着额头 (wǔ zhe étóu - covering her forehead), glaring at the boy in front of her: "How can you be so hard..."

The boy smiled, breaking off a willow branch: "I'm wearing a护心镜 (hùxīnjìng - heart-protecting mirror) inside."

"You!"

Su Yu'er didn't know what to say, stamped her foot, and directly turned around, but found Huo Qubing swaying, blocking her path. No matter how she tried to avoid him, she couldn't. The boy smiled and said, "Your steps are too slow, and not agile enough."

"We military strategists have 《韬略》 (Tāolüè - The Strategies of War) battle methods to match our movements."

"I can teach you."

"Anyway, if you really want to find someone so much," Huo Qubing said, "then go look for them."

Su Yu'er drooped her head dejectedly. Just now, in the crowd, she had sensed Su Daji's aura, very faint, almost fleeting, but the familiarity that was almost branded into her soul made her very sure that Su Daji was nearby.

She's still alive!

The face of the smiling woman seemed to flash before her eyes.

Su Yu'er only felt more lost and confused, only knowing that she had to find her, had to ask one question, but having asked it... what question did she need to ask...?

Her eyes were lost and dazed.

The surrounding roads seemed to turn into endless flames, from the Great Zhou, armies supported by gods outside. The Shang Dynasty, which worshiped its ancestors but didn't respect the concept of Heaven, had failed. Di Xin's attempts to abolish blood sacrifices and employ slaves had impacted the interests of the Shang Dynasty's aristocracy.

The Wu tribe helped Zhou connect to the gods.

But in that battle, the heroes and talents of the Zhou Dynasty, and Jiang Taigong's strategies, were equally powerful.

While the Shang king sent troops to attack the barbarians, the Zhou Dynasty arrived at Zhaoge City.

In the end, the woman who looked exactly like her, with a gentle and graceful expression, lowered her head and said something to her, then turned around and walked into the sea of fire without hesitation. Su Yu'er only gained a physical form in the last few hundred years, so she had been thinking for hundreds of years and still didn't understand what those words were.

"Su Yu'er, Su Yu'er?!"

The call brought Su Yu'er back to her senses. When she looked up, the sun was shining brightly, and the boy's face was close at hand. There was a lightness on her head, and her neck shrank, like a cat or fox being patted on the head. She raised her hand and realized that Huo Qubing had woven a willow leaf ring and placed it on her head.

"Finally back to your senses, I thought you had heatstroke."

"We used to weave willow leaf rings to cool off."

"You're the one with heatstroke and a messed up brain!"

Su Yu'er found it funny, raised her hand to take off the willow leaf ring, thought about it, and didn't move, and then said, "Even if I want to find her, what can I do? We just looked, and there was nothing."

"That's because you didn't try your best to find her."

"I did!" Su Yu'er's tone was a little annoyed.

"No, you didn't," Huo Qubing said confidently and calmly:

"You haven't asked the people you know to help you."

Su Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and said, "But you..."

"Let's go back."

Huo Qubing looked back at her and said, "I've indeed seen this era these past few days, and I was planning to find a chance to go back and meet that Wuhou (Marquis Wu) these days. Since you need their power now, then let's go back and take a look."

"You don't have to worry about me."

The boy smiled brightly, then turned around and walked forward.

"............Who's worrying about who."

Su Yu'er sighed helplessly.

Then she said, "Wait, you're going the wrong way!"

Huo Qubing said confidently, "Impossible! I can't go the wrong way!"

"But..." the girl replied:

"The high-speed rail station is in this direction..."

!!!

The ancient compass reincarnation general: "............"

Without changing his expression, he turned around and walked: "Ahem, it's that thing like a horse carriage, right?"

"Yes, I know."

"This general just wanted to test you just now."

"Yes, that's right."

..................

Museum.

Because of overwork leading to weak legs, aching all over the next day, and not recovering for several days, the young strategist, with his feather fan waving slightly, looked at the famous general in front of him with a smile, and said, "You've arrived earlier than Liang expected. It seems there's something you need my help with?"

"Tsk—"

Huo Qubing looked at the handsome young strategist in front of him, feeling unhappy in his heart.

"You could say that."

"Moreover, this general has already understood this era, and I think it's time to negotiate with you."

"Is that so?"

The young strategist waved his feather fan slightly, and said in surprise, "Then, what do you mean, Marquis of Champion..."

"Here, my Great Han Dynasty no longer exists. I don't know what the future holds, but since this place is Yanhuang (China), my spear naturally has a basis for fighting for this place..." Huo Qubing said slowly, "But, that's not enough."

"Then, Marquis Wu, what makes you think I would definitely cooperate with you here?"

The young famous general leaned back slightly in his chair.

He raised his legs and propped them on the table.

With his arms crossed in front of his chest, his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes locked onto the Wuhou (Marquis Wu) in front of him like a drawn sword.

Unruly.

The young strategist waved his feather fan slightly, and nodded with a smile: "You're right, you can fight for Yanhuang (China), but you don't necessarily need to be with us. As for this time... well, Miss Su, are you looking for Liang, or are you looking for A-Yuan?"

He looked at Su Yu'er, who looked faintly uneasy beside him.

Su Yu'er said, "Qingqiu Country has not yet stabilized. I want to contact the Lord of the Country, so I have to rely on Curator Wei..."

"Wei?"

Huo Qubing raised his eyebrows.

The young strategist smiled gently and said:

"Yes, Wei. Marquis of Champion, do you know how you came to this era?"

"The general trend of the human world is constantly changing. Those heroes who have experienced a lifetime of trials and tribulations in the human world, because their willpower is extremely powerful, can resist the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so they will not be annihilated between heaven and earth. This true spirit accompanies the operation of the Great Dao and flies back into the human world, which is reincarnation."

"And you, it is because you have the war flag of Fenglang Juxu in your hand."

"Therefore, Liang was able to accurately call back your true spirit."

"Then, Marquis of Champion, have you ever thought about why this unremarkable museum would have the war flag of Huo Qubing, the famous general of the Han Dynasty? What kind of relationship would keep your war flag preserved, all the way to today, two thousand years ago?"

Huo Qubing: "??!!"

The young strategist put his feather fan behind his back and smiled: "And Yanhuang (China) has five thousand years."

"Are you the only hero and true spirit qualified to be reincarnated, Marquis of Champion?"

"Even the Han Dynasty is far more than that, right?"

Huo Qubing suddenly stood up and murmured, "Keep my war flag, the surname is Wei, the reincarnation of the true spirit..." He stared at the strategist in front of him and said, "Do you mean..."

Zhuge Wuhou (Marquis Wu) said confidently, "That's right."

"Curator Wei is your uncle, the one who raised you and taught you martial arts."

"The Great Sima General of the Great Han, Wei Qing!"

Huo Qubing's mind was in chaos, and he stepped forward suddenly and said, "Is this true!"

The young Wuhou (Marquis Wu) looked confident and calm, and said:

"Of course it's fake."

"......!"

The smile on Huo Qubing's face froze.

"???"

After a moment, Marquis of Champion pressed his hand firmly on the table, the veins on his forehead bulged, his black hair was messy, like a completely enraged puppy,咬着牙 (yǎozhe yá - gritting his teeth) and glaring at the Wuhou (Marquis Wu) in front of him. If someone hadn't pulled him back, he would have given him a good beating long ago.

The young strategist drank tea happily.

Marquis of Champion roared: "You village bumpkin, are you deliberately making fun of this general?!"

"Of course not."

The young strategist smiled brightly:

"I'm just teasing you."

"???!"

Huo Qubing was furious and punched out, but then Zhuge Liang casually dropped a sentence, and the fist suddenly stopped: "However, the matter of the reincarnation of the true spirit is not a lie to you."

The fist stopped an inch in front of Wuhou's (Marquis Wu) nose.

The violent fist wind made Wuhou's (Marquis Wu) black hair at his temples fly back slightly.

The young strategist smiled gently.

The Han Dynasty Wuhou (Marquis Wu) used his feather fan to press down on the fist of the Han Dynasty Marquis of Champion, pushed his fist away, stood up, endured the soreness of his legs and the urge to sit back down, and said in a leisurely and gentle tone: "Since Liang can bring the Marquis of Champion back to the world, why not the other one of the Han Dynasty Bi (Twin Jade)?"

"!!!"

After disturbing Huo Qubing's calm state of mind, a word pierced the most important place.

But the mountain god hidden in one place always felt that the Wuhou (Marquis Wu) was satisfying his interest in teasing his predecessors.

"Isn't Wuhou (Marquis Wu) very gentle and calm?"

Mount Tai Qi's mountain god lowered his voice.

"You're talking nonsense, a gentle person wouldn't send women's clothes to provoke someone,"

Mount Qian Lai's mountain god replied, "After the war, Old Brother wrote a letter asking how things were, but the reply was only ten words or so. This guy's personality is really tough. You think he's refined, that's just a historical filter."

The mountain god said, "I always feel that he has the qualifications to become a keyboard immortal by relying on keyboard warriors."

"After all, the so-called tongue-lashing against the Confucian scholars, to put it nicely, is called tongue-lashing against the Confucian scholars, but to put it badly, it is one person scolding all the senior literati of a country face-to-face and still winning. This is simply outrageous, and there's also the matter of scolding Wang Lang to death. This guy is simply the number one keyboard warrior of all time."

At this moment, Huo Qubing calmed down and said, "What do I need to do?"

Zhuge Wuhou (Marquis Wu) smiled and said, "Two ways. First, you win against us."

"Second, you complete three things according to my plan."

Huo Qubing glanced at Wuhou (Marquis Wu) and said simply, "Compare literary or martial arts?"

The young strategist smiled even more brightly, snapped his fingers, and said, "Hongyu, please come here." Xiang Yu's reincarnation was playing chess in the living room. Hearing this, he walked in. He was tall and had both Xiang Yu's bravery and a calm personality due to reincarnation.

The young man pointed to Xiang Hongyu behind him and said, "General Huo Qubing, this is Xiang Hongyu, now a florist."

"As long as you can beat him in a one-on-one fight, I'll listen to you."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Huo Qubing agreed directly.

He strode out.

Hmph, just a florist!

He's just tall, but fighting isn't just about strength!

Wuhou (Marquis Wu) said to Xiang Hongyu, "He's a Han Dynasty general, and from the Western Han Dynasty."

Xiang Hongyu narrowed his eyes and said:

"Of course I know..."

Xiang Hongyu clenched his fists and walked out.

After arranging the first lesson for General Huo Qubing's welcome, the young man looked at Su Yu'er, who was holding tea beside him, and said, "So, Miss Yu'er, the Marquis of Champion came back with you to help you, right? Otherwise, he would still be wandering outside."

"I wonder what it is?"

Su Yu'er looked hesitant and told the young man the story.

"The mystery of Zhaoge City..."

The young strategist waved his feather fan slightly and said, "Then, please wait a moment, Miss."

"A-Yuan is not here now."

Su Yu'er said, "Where is he?"

"This..."

A-Liang said, "The reason why Gonggong was defeated was because an old friend held the rear in the Great Wilderness. After a bloody battle, he sent his subordinates to send back one of the Jiuding (Nine Cauldrons). Now, after ten days of昏迷 (hūnmí - coma), the friend who sent back the Jiuding (Nine Cauldrons) has finally woken up."

"It's also time to ask clearly where the battlefield is for the one who held the rear."

"Then find a way to save him."

"After all, he is someone who carries firewood for the world. If someone gives me a peach, I will repay them with jade. It has always been the case."

Su Yu'er said, "Holding the rear... Is he still alive?"

Wuhou (Marquis Wu) was silent for a while and said:

"Hopefully."
