The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Second more. I forgot to upload it last night, so I will send the two together.

Supplement for May 12th.

——

Yin Xiu turned his face and said to Cao Zhongyao, who was sitting under him, "Yuanchang, I heard that your family and the Zhen family are family friends?"

Zhong Yao replied: "Zhengzu and Zengzu were as famous as the prefectures and prefectures. They were also called 'Yingchuan Four Chiefs' together with Taiqiu Gong and Han Ying Gong. In all, our families have been together for more than 50 years." Among the four families, except for Han Shao's family in Wuyang (now Luohe), which is far apart, the other three families are only a few dozen miles away from each other.

"I have heard the names of the four chiefs for a long time. It is a pity that many of the great sages have passed away, but now there is only Duke Taiqiu left. Although the sages have gone, the sages are now mature. The ancestors have spirits in the sky, and I will be very happy to see you, no worries. Now is the time of the heroic era. Both of you are the pillars of this county, and you have the talent to help the world. Please!"

Where the prefect's case goes to the county and township, the county governor must be sent first. Yin Xiu is a cautious person and follows the national code in everything, and there is no exception in this regard. He had no plans to spend the night in Xixiang. When he first arrived in Yingyin, he sent the county governor to inform him of the next county he was going to, Xu County. There is no return at this time, so don't rush.

He said a few words to Zhong Yao and Xun Zhen, looked at the sky outside the hall, and said to Zhu Chang: "Zhu Gong, according to the plan, after going to Xixiang and then to Nanxiang, I will even consider you Yingyin after I finish the trip. It's spring. Nanxiang is on the way to Xuxian, so don't rush. When I go to Xuxian, I will take a look on the way. It's still early, and I can't talk to Zhenzhi enough, why don't we stay for a while ?what do you think?"

"Okay."

Yin Xiu waved his sleeves, smiled and said to the county officials in the hall: "The official business is over, you Cao go back to the car. I want to invite all the disciples in the courtyard to come to the hall and have a talk." Except Zhong Yao Except for a few important officials, the rest of the officials stood up and filed out. Zhong Yao personally went to the door and summoned all the scholars who were waiting in the courtyard. Yin Xiu squinted as he watched the disciples enter the room, smiled and said to Xun Zhen, "Zhenzhi, now the disciples are riding with me, those who know know that they are traveling from me to spring, but those who don't know they think they are visiting relatives and friends in your Xixiang. ."

As Zhong Yao said, the two families of Zhong and Chen were family friends of the Xun family. The uncle and nephew of the Xun family belonged to the Xunzhen tribe. Xin Ai's mother was a sister from the Xunzhen clan. Xin Pi, Xin Pingze and Xin Ai are of the same clan. Yingyin Liu and Xun lived in the same city and had good friendship. Regardless of whether these people were close to the Xun family or not, whether they knew each other before, on the surface, they all had some relationship with Xun Zhen. Therefore, Yin Xiu has this joke.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "'My family' is only a branch of the Xun clan, and I am only a well-ranked husband. The name is not as good as Wen Ruo, and the rank is not as good as Zhong Yao. With my little capital, what virtue and ability are worth cultivating. Such kindness? 'It's not enough to talk to me'. - He even invited these scholars to the hall to sit and talk together. He must have a plan. ...... Maybe? He took me as a horse bone, thinking Do you like this to show your surnames?"

Everyone was seated according to their age, and under the leadership of Yin Xiu and Zhu Chang, they laughed and talked.

Xun Zhen is only a Chinese talent. Although he is more than enough in front of fashion and Xuankang because of his family background, his knowledge is not enough in the face of the disciples at this time. Fortunately, I have knowledge of past lives and a little understanding of the trend of history. As long as I don't talk about classics, I can still say a few words on current affairs, miscellaneous studies, and anecdotes. He also hides his clumsiness. Most of the time, he just smiles and listens. He will only express one or two comments when he has to. Occasionally, he will be inspired and say witty words. It will not be surprising, but it can also make people recall it again and again.

Many scholars in the audience thought to themselves: "Xun Zhenzhi is not only brave and courageous, but also capable of killing, showing kindness, and being able to talk clearly, which is quite elegant and interesting."

This discussion did not end until the messenger sent by the post office of the county governor arrived. Yin Xiu and Zhu Chang got up, Xun Zhen accompanied him, and the disciples followed, and they were discharged from the hospital. After leaving the courtyard, Yin Xiu inadvertently saw five people standing along the walls on both sides of the courtyard gate, all wearing shawls and cloths, or carrying knives with rings or swords, all of them were full of heroic spirit. He pointed and asked, "This is?"

Xun Zhen replied: "They are all nobles from their native towns. When they heard that the Ming Palace was coming, they took the initiative to come to **** them." She calmly said to the ten people, "The Ming Palace will come, so why don't you kneel down and see each other?" Except for Xu Zhong and Le Jin who were in the lead, these ten people were all light chivalrous men sent by Jiang Qin. They were originally standing still, but upon hearing Xun Zhen's order, without any hesitation, they immediately bowed their heads and bowed, and said in unison, "Gong. Send it to the government."

"Hometown Hao Jie? Take the initiative to come to guard?"

Zhong Yao smiled and said, "Mingfu may not have noticed, they were here when we came." Yin Xiu's eyes were not good, he couldn't see clearly anyway, and sometimes he didn't pay much attention to the surrounding people and landscapes.

"Oh?" Yin Xiu raised his head again, glanced at the sky, and said, "When we came, they were here? So, they have been standing here for nearly two hours."

Nearly two hours, not a short time. Especially now that the spring breeze is still cold, it may not matter if you stand in the wind for a quarter of an hour. In the past two hours, just this wind chill is unbearable for an ordinary person. The ten people in front of them were all in good spirits, and they clearly didn't take this coldness seriously. Yin Xiu became interested, stopped and asked Xu Zhong, "Why are you covering your face?"

Xu Zhong bowed to the ground without looking up, and replied, "Xiaomin once encountered a group of thieves and fought with them. He hurt his face and covered it with a scarf."

"Have you ever encountered a group of thieves?"

"Yes."

"Can you still get out?"

More than three people are called "group thieves", and if they can retreat under the attack of at least three people, they are warriors.

Xun Zhen was afraid that Xu Zhong would be exposed, and did not want Yin Xiu to talk to him. She smiled and said, "If you talk about 'the road meets a group of thieves', why not ask Wen Qian? Wen Qian traveled thousands of miles alone last winter and went to the teacher's funeral in the snow. He encountered a group of thieves in Chenliu County, and he not only retreated, but also killed all the thieves."

"Oh? Who is Wen Qian?"

Xun Zhen pointed to Le Jin and ordered him to stand up. Le Jin heard the sound and got up. Yin Xiu saw that although he was short in stature, but his movements were quick, he didn't know if he was influenced by Xun Zhen's words that this man "let all these thieves be wiped out", and felt that he looked like Yuan Tingyue when he stood up. Standing upright, agile and brave, he unconsciously praised: "What a 'smart warrior'!... How many thieves have you killed?"

"Five people."

"One enemy five, all will be executed. So, you must be a fencing master?"

"Jin Shaohao is good at fencing, and he has studied for a few years."

"Zhenzhi, how about you pick two people out of these arrogant villagers and let them compete with this strong man one or two times?"

Before Xun Zhen could answer, some of the light knights who were kneeling on the ground were unhappy. They raised their heads and shouted in anger, "My generation learns the sword, and it is the sword of murder. Men who carry seven-footed swords should live happily ever after. , how can you be like a monkey in front of a busker!"

Yin Xiu and the scholars were stunned.

They are light chivalrous people, who put anger and light death. They are completely different from the big family and petty officials in the countryside who are afraid and flatter the powerful. If they lose their temper, they can repay with death, just like Xun Zhen; but if they do not like the eye, they will It was the King of Heaven who came, and they looked at each other coldly. —— Earlier, under the leadership of Jiang Qin, they almost left Qin Gan who sealed up Xu Zhong’s family?

This is still Xun Zhen in front, this person does not dare to be too arrogant, if not, I am afraid that he would have jumped up and drawn his sword in anger. Xun Zhen reprimanded: "What nonsense! Mingfu is on top, how can you speak? Why don't you bow your head to apologize!" Xu Zhong also turned his head and glared at the man. The man reluctantly fell to the ground in apology.

Yin Xiu was amazed, but did not get annoyed by it, but smiled: "Zhenzhi, Hao Jie in your village is really a brave man." The first half of Jin's sentence: "You are going to the teacher's mourning, walking alone in the snow for thousands of miles?"

"Yes."

"Not only a strong man, but also abiding by discipleship and filial piety. Good, good!"

People who are loyal, filial and brave are liked by everyone. To go to the funeral of a teacher and walk alone in the snow is definitely a feat, and not many people can do it. The more Yin Xiu looked at him, the happier he felt. The scholars also whispered and watched frequently. Yin Xiu asked, "I don't hear your accent like a local?"

"Little people are from Yangping Weiguo."

"Yangping Weiguo? Then why are you here?"

"Because I admire the virtue of Lord Xun, I follow around~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in order to benefit from the labor of dogs and horses."

Such a loyal, filial, brave person actually admires Xun Zhen's virtue? Even would rather cast under his door, be a dog or horse? The scholars gave Xun Zhen another high look. First there was the masked warrior who killed the thieves, then the warrior who "did a seven-footed sword and lived happily", and then there was the warrior who was loyal, filial, and brave. Xun Zhen only had a few months in Xixiang to get so many warriors. How did he do it?

Standing in the crowd, Chen Qun glanced at Le Jin's face, and then at Xun Zhen's face. Both Le Jin and Xun Zhen looked calm. Yin Xiu asked, "Follow Xun Jun? Do you have a job in the village?"

Le Jin shook his head.

"How can such a strong man be idle? Zhenzhi, you should assign him a position!"

"I'm ashamed of my virginity. The township is full of officials, all positions are equal, and there are currently no vacancies."

Xun You didn't know when he came to Zhong Yao's side and slightly tugged at his sleeve.

Zhong Youdun knew what he meant and said in his heart, "Young Zhenzhi is studying under Zhongtong's door and befriending Gongda. Gongda wants to help him with his own staff, so as to facilitate the management of the township in the future." What can be done with ease. He is the county meritorious officer, in charge of the personnel affairs of a county, and the appointment of the subordinate officials of the county and county are all under his hands. Last year, he helped Zhenzhi to destroy the giant robbers from other counties, and he should have been promoted according to his merits. Because the former prefect entered Beijing, the Ming government did not arrive at that time, so it has been delayed until now, and the merits have not yet been discussed. After he is promoted, with Wenqian's bravery, martial arts, loyalty and filial piety, it is enough. take over."

Xun Zhen was overjoyed, one was happy that he was able to enter and leave the county, though he was a village official, but he was in charge of the county; two was that he was in charge of supervising thieves, a military position, and like the pavilion chief, he could also use this to recruit people. , which is very beneficial to his plans. He hurriedly gestured to Le Jin to thank him. Le Jin bows down and thank you.
