The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The man went up to the stage, knocked on the courtyard door, led Xun Zhen and others inside, strode into the hall in the front courtyard, and informed Chen Wu, the pavilion chief.レm♠思♥Road♣客レ

Soon, several people came out of the hall.

The first one, more than 30 years old, tall, although wearing common clothes and straw shoes, but with a majestic appearance. He walked down the hall steps with great strides, came to the courtyard in the rain without hesitation, and when Xun Zhen and the others approached, they bowed to the end, and said: "In the Xiasu people's pavilion, Chen Wu, I have seen Chen Jun, You gentlemen, it is a blessing to be able to get the gentlemen of the famous clan to live in the humble house of the humble pavilion!" . .

His voice is not high, slightly low, but his words are clear and strong.

Except for the former Zhongqing, all of Xunzhen's people were not short, but they were not as good as Chen Wu.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "What a strong man, looking at his height, I am afraid that he is more than eight feet tall." He returned the ceremony and smiled, "When it rains at night, I have no choice but to disturb Guiting." He ordered Xuankang, "Bring the money here. ."

After Chen Wuli got up, he looked at the Xunzhen people silently, and said in his heart, "Han Wang said that this person is a son of the Chen family in Xu County. Hearing his accent, he is indeed a native of Yuzhou, and looking at his bearing, he is indeed a scholar."

Han Wang was the one who brought Xun Zhen and others to Tingshe. If in the time of peace, there was a document as evidence, then there is no need to doubt the identity of the person who took the document, but today is a time of chaos, but it is said that no one can forge the document.

He glanced at the riding horses of Xun Zhen and the others, his eyes stayed on Dian Wei's body for a moment, and then he thought: "Although these people are dressed modestly, they are all riding on horses, and each has a short halberd and sword. Like a person who travels a long way. This strong man with a short halberd is so majestic! Such a majestic person must be a hero, but respectfully from the side of this self-proclaimed disciple of the Chen family,..., the identity of this person It shouldn't be fake." . .

Assuming that Xun Zhen's identity is true, he said: "The honored guests come to the door, and they have received light, and they have made a splendid house. How dare you accept the money again?" Noticing that the clothes in the rain gear of Xun Zhen and the others were wet, they shrugged their hands. Invite them to the backyard and instruct Han Wang, "Take the horses of the distinguished guests into the stable and feed them with jīng food." He also instructed a few people who came out of the hall, "The two of you hurry up to prepare meals, and the two of you will leave the hall. I will go to the backyard to make a fire for the distinguished guests to dry their clothes." He personally led the way and led Xunzhen and others to the backyard.

Going to the backyard and passing by the door of the hall, Xun Zhen glanced inward and saw a torch on the upper wall of the hall, a brazier was built in the middle, and the hall was brightly reflected in red.

Chen Wu led Xun Zhen and others into the backyard, opened the door of the upper room, lit candles, invited Xun Zhen and others to enter, and said, "The rustic pavilion has rough furniture, and only this guest room is passable. Please ask Chen Jun to stay in this room tonight." He said apologetically to Xun You, Handan Rong and the others, "As for gentlemen, if you don't dislike it, please come and rest in the house I'm waiting for."

The two teenagers who followed him to the backyard squatted in the corner and lit the brazier in the room.

The candles flickered, Xun Zhen looked at the interior of the room, secretly surprised, and said, "Although the desks and bedding in this room are not comparable to those of wealthy and wealthy families, they are far better than ordinary houses and pavilions. These items are all brand-new, and they should have been renovated after Chen Wu took office as the pavilion." What is the purpose of renovating such a good guest room in a rural pavilion? It is for entertaining nobles and scholars who pass by and stay there.

This Chen Wu is a meticulous person. If you have to be careful and ambitious, it is impossible to prepare such a superior in the first ten days of taking office.

Handan Rong said: "How can I live in Chen Jun's house? I see that there are other guest houses in the backyard?"

"The other guest houses are really simple, with only one bed, one seat, and one quilt. You are honored guests, how can you let them live in such a humble house?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay." Pointing to the bed in this guest house, she said, "This bed is very big, enough for three people to sleep. Three people live in this room, and a few more people in the remaining guest houses. That's it."

When Chen Wu saw Xun Zhen's words, he stopped insisting and said with a smile, "Listen to the arrangement of the honored guest."

He went out in person again, opened the doors of the rest of the guest rooms in the rain, Dian Wei and the others chose as he wished, and returned to the outside, but this time he did not enter, he bowed at the door and said, "Please Chen Junshao. Wait, the food will be delivered immediately. If you need anything else, please feel free to say so, and send someone to the front yard to let me know. Chen Jun has a hard journey, so I won't bother you anymore." He said goodbye and left.

Xun Zhen walked to the door of the room and watched him stride through the courtyard door with his sword and walked to the front courtyard.

The two young men who started the fire set the brazier ablaze, brought in some charcoal, piled it on the side of the basin, and said goodbye to go out, but did not leave. This leaves.

The brazier is raised, the heating is habitual, and the body is cold after a wash.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the backyard. Everyone gathered in the room where Xun Zhen lived. Xuankang helped Xun Zhen take off his coat and put it on the brazier to bake. Xun You was amazed, and said, "This person named Chen Wu, entertain me with respect and courtesy, but not excessively warm. Are there such people in the wild pavilion?"

Chen Wu's various actions, such as personally leading the way, opening the door in person, inviting Dian Wei and others to live in their house, etc., were obviously a gesture of goodwill to Xun Zhen, but these gestures of goodwill were kept to the standard, and it was adequate, unlike some people who were overdoing it. Enthusiastic flattery, but it will make people tired.

Xun Zhen asked Handan Rong: "Gongzai, have you heard this person's name before?"

Handan Rong Yiqi Chen Wu shook his head and said, "No."

Xun Zhen sighed and said: "'Within ten steps, there must be herbs; in the town of ten houses, there must be loyal men'. There are several rì in Xingxian County. I met Cen Rong before, and now I meet Chen Wu. In the wild pavilions in the countryside, there are everywhere. Talented people.... Gongzai, your county is full of talented people."

Although Zhao County has a small population, there are more than 100,000 people. It is normal for some talents to emerge from the population of more than 100,000. The reason why Cen Rong and Chen Wu were buried in the countryside and could not come out was because of their background. Cen Rong's family was poor, and Chen Wu was willing to be the head of this fighting food pavilion, thinking that he came from a poor family. It is extremely difficult for the children of poor families and poor families to succeed. Even if the local officials are not greedy for ink and have no prejudice against poor families, and can choose talents fairly, but the officials often live in the mansion, it is difficult to know what talents are among the poor people they govern. Take Xun Zhen's trip to the county this time, for example, if he had to do it privately, he was afraid that he would not have the chance to meet Cen Rong and Chen Wu, and he would never know their talents.

Not long after, it was raining in the courtyard, and the three teenagers carried food boxes and sent them into the room.

When they left, Xuankang opened the food box, there was meat, vegetables, rice, and wine. The wine is warm. The wine and dishes are steaming hot and fragrant. Everyone eats the dry food they bring with them for lunch. They walk for a long time in the afternoon, and they are hungry early.

Xun You smiled and said: "You have both wine and meat, but this pavilion chief, Chen Jun, is rich."

Just when they passed by the hall door in the front yard, the teenagers in the hall drank and ate meat, and the meals given to them were also wine and meat. Not to mention the chaos right now, it is peacetime, and it is not easy for a country pavilion to prepare such meals. Xun Zhen felt it. When he was the head of Fanyang Pavilion, if he only depended on that meager salary, it would be difficult to make three meals, let alone such a diet of wine and meat.

Xuankang turned the chopsticks and chopsticks upside down, lit the candle light with the handle of the chopsticks, and said, "Not only wine and meat, but also candles in the guest house, you are indeed rich."

Yuan Zhongqing interjected and said: "Only this guest house has candles lit. I went to other guest houses to look at it, and there are only candles."

A candle is a lighting tool made of fine wood. When Xun Zhen was in Fanyang Pavilion, he ordered a lot of this stuff, and when it was lit, the smoke was choking. But having said that, candles are commonly used by ordinary people. Candles are expensive, and only wealthy people can afford them.

Chen Wu arranged for Xun Zhen to live in this guest house, with good furniture, bedding, and things to fetch light. His intentions can be seen everywhere.

Xuankang was young and followed Xun Zhen early. He didn't know the difficulties of the Han family's early childhood. If Li Bo, Shixing and other poor family children from Xixiang were here, they would definitely sigh.

This Chen Wu is obviously a person who is unwilling to the status quo. The warm welcome, the clean and comfortable guest house, all this is because he eagerly expects to meet a noble person and promote him to the top. Xun Zhen had worked as a pavilion chief, and had been in contact with many such Han family children, and could understand Chen Wu's unwillingness to desire to make progress, but had no way out.

He didn't say much, and asked everyone to sit around the table with a smile. Everyone was enjoying themselves.

After the meal, another teenager came to clean up the tableware.

Chen Wu came over again and asked them how well they ate. After getting a satisfactory answer from Xun Zhen, he respectfully asked them to rest and bid farewell to the hospital.

...

This room can accommodate three people, Xun Zhen invited Handan Rong and Xun You to live with him. Xuankang, Yuan Zhongqing, and Zuo Bohou went to sleep in another room. In front of Dian Wei Shuwei's gate, he was on duty in the middle of the night. Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou were on duty in the middle of the night.

After blowing out the candles, Xun Zhen and the three went to bed. The night rain knocked on the window paper, and the room was as warm as chūn.

It may be that Chen Wu instructed the young man who was drinking and eating meat to be quiet. The front yard was no longer noisy, and the pavilion was very quiet.

Accompanied by the sound of rain, everyone fell asleep one after another.

...

She didn't know how long she slept, but Xun Zhen suddenly felt that someone was pushing her, she opened her eyes with great effort, and saw that it was Xun You.

"What's wrong? Gongda."

Xun You didn't know when he got off the bed and landed on the ground, standing beside the bed, wearing clothes, holding a sword, and said softly to Xun Zhen, "Listen."

The first thing I heard was Handan Rong's snoring, and then the falling rain outside the window. The room was quiet, with no other sounds. Xun Zhen was puzzled and asked, "What are you listening to?"

"Someone rushed into the front yard just now and shouted: There are thieves in Tingxi."

After Xun You finished speaking, the front yard was chaotic. Across the courtyard wall, courtyard gate, and house door, there was the sound of rain, which I couldn't hear clearly, but I could tell that this movement was the sound of many people running out of the front courtyard house. Immediately, a high-pitched voice came: "There are bandits and thieves invading Tingxi at night, Chen Junling: Immediately leave the house and rush to attack the thieves!" Many people's voices suddenly rose, and almost a dozen people agreed loudly at the same time.

After everyone's voices fell, a low voice came faintly. This was Chen Wu's accent, and it was estimated that he was dispatching orders.

A moment later, the door to the front yard of the pavilion opened, and the teenagers in the front yard should have left the house under the leadership of Chen Wu, and the sound of footsteps left.

The front yard door was closed. Not long after, the courtyard door to the backyard opened.

One person stood at the courtyard gate and said to Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou, who were in Jǐng Ye, "Tingxi has come to join a group of thieves, and Chen Jun has led someone to attack the thieves. Before he left, the villain told the distinguished guests not to worry. There are me waiting in the house, so that the thieves will not hurt the distinguished guests."

Xun Zhen put on her clothes, opened the door, and replied, "I'm waiting for the safety of Guiting, so you don't need to worry about it. Since there are thieves in Tingxi, please go and help, you don't have to stay to guard me."

The man at the gate said, "This is Jun Chen's order. The villain dare not disobey it. Please rest in peace."

Xun Zhen returned to her advisor Xun You: "What time is it?"

Xun You looked at the clepsydra on the case, and replied, "It's two o'clock ugly."

It was raining in the middle of the night. The timing of the gang of thieves who invaded Suren Pavilion was good. Unfortunately, Chen Wu was cautious and felt that he had already been prepared. He sent guards and road checkers on all sides of the pavilion. Run back to send the message. Xun Zhen said in her heart, "I just don't know how many people there are in this group of thieves? Chen Wu brought out a dozen people, so I don't know if there are enough people?"

Meng heard the drums in the front yard of Sheshe.

The rainy night was silent, and the drums were thundering.

Xun Zhen was caught off guard and was almost taken aback, thinking: "This is a drum beat. Yes, Chen Wu should have manned hands around the pavilion, and now the drum sound is used to pass the message, It can not only make the thieves horrified, but also summon people from other places to rush to Tingxi.”

He fought thieves at night when he was in Fanyang Pavilion, and then joined the army to fight, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time. Can guess Chen Wu's arrangement.

Handan Rong, Xuan Kang, and Dian Wei were also awakened.

Handan Rong and Xun You came to Xun Zhen's side. Dian Wei and Xuan Kang ran out of the guest house with halberds and swords to protect Xun Zhen.

The night is vast and the rain is pouring.

Standing at the door, watching the night rain, listening to the drums.

Xun Zhen seemed to return to the night when he crossed the border to attack thieves at Fanyang Pavilion, and it seemed to return to the battlefield where he fought against the Yellow Turbans not long ago.

Alarmed by the sound of the drums, dogs bark and **** in the pavilion. In a low voice, Xun You explained to Handan Rong and others in a few words that the thieves had come to Tingxi. Xun Zhen turned her ears to the west, but the sound of drums, chickens and dogs, and rain covered everything in Tingxi. Xuankang lit a candle and held it to Xun Zhen's side. The faint candlelight illuminated a little bit of land and some falling rain in front of the door.

Yuan Zhongqing asked, "Mr. Xun, should I help Chen Wu?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I'm afraid the young man left behind in the front yard won't let me wait to go out." He glanced at the courtyard gate and said, "Maybe there is a bow and crossbow facing right outside the courtyard gate at this time."

Chen Wu did not take all the people to attack the thieves, but left a few people to guard in the pavilion, one is to protect Xun Zhen and others, and the other is to guard against Xun Zhen and others. Although he believed that Xun Zhen was the son of the Chen clan in Xu County, it was a coincidence that Xun Zhen came to sleep in the first half of the night, and bandits came in the second half of the night. The thieves should cooperate with each other.

Xun You smiled and said: "You were the head of Fanyang Pavilion in your early years, and you also attacked bandits at night. Xun You, this Chen Wu's actions are quite similar to yours in those days."

Originally, Chen Wu respected scholars and made friends with young people, and he was somewhat similar to Xun Zhen back then. Tonight, when he went out to fight thieves, he took it easy and arranged properly, which was even more similar than when Xun Zhen was the head of Fanyang Pavilion.

Xun Zhen listened carefully to the movement outside the pavilion, and said with a smile, "I wasn't as calm as him back then." Xun Zhen was the first time to fight a thief at night. Of course, this is not to say that Xun Zhen is not as good as Chen Wu. Chen Wu was the head of Bo Guang Ting before, and he was transferred to Su Ren Ting. He has been in charge for a long time. This is definitely not the first time that he has attacked a thief. It can only be said that he has a lot of experience.

When Xun Zhen saw that Dian Wei and Xuan Kang were not wearing coats, they were both only wearing trousers with slender noses. She seemed to be in a hurry, and she didn't have time to get dressed, so she rushed to protect him, and said to them, "It's raining and cold in the night. You two go back to the house and get dressed."

Dian Wei refused. Xuankang went back to the house to get dressed, and brought Dian Wei's clothes over. Dian Wei put on his clothes in front of the door.

Ten miles and one pavilion. The Suren Pavilion is less than ten miles from north to south and more than ten miles from east to west. The pavilion is in the middle of the pavilion. It won’t take long to run from Tingshe to Tingxi, but I don’t know how many thieves and thieves are coming. It was raining in the middle of the night, and it was difficult to distinguish objects. Xun Zhen guessed that no matter the outcome, Chen Wu might have to wait until dawn to come back. Not much, I think it will take him an hour or two.

But it didn't take long for the drums to stop for a while, and in the rushing rain, the voices of people outside the house were heard from far to near. The door to the front yard opened, and Chen Wu returned with the boys who went out to attack the thieves. The teenagers were elated and laughing loudly.

Xuankang said, "Have you won?"

Xun Zhen asked Xun You, "What time is it now?"

"It's almost time."

When Chen Wu waited to go out, it was ugly for two hours, and when he came back, it took less than an hour to beat the thief and win. Xuan Kang doubted his swiftness and guessed, "Could it be that there are not many thieves?"

Xun Zhen "shh" and told him not to speak, and listened to the loud chatter and laughter of the boy in the front yard, discussing the results of the war.

After listening for a long time, I understood the story of Chen Wu's attack on the thief.

It's not that there are not many thieves. The thieves who invaded the Ministry were not refugees. They were a group of thieves who came down from the neighboring mountains. There were more than 30 people, and the number was quite large. Chen Wu brought out a dozen teenagers, and a total of ten people came from all over the pavilion to help. Twenty people fought against more than thirty people, but he attacked the crowd with less, and he was able to win quickly in an unfavorable situation because he took the lead in attacking and fighting, capturing the thief first and capturing the king, and pierced the chest of the thief's head with a spear. The leader of the thief was killed on the spot, and the remaining thieves, without their leader, fled in all directions, and were killed by all the youths.

Xun Zhen said, "Piercing a thief's chest with a spear hole? This is the Gao Wu of the Marquis of Wu."

"Marquis of Wu", Xun Zhen was referring to Wu Han. Wu Han attacked Gongsun Shu and surrounded Chengdu. Gongsun Shu sent tens of thousands of troops out of the city to fight. Wu Han ordered Gao Wu and his army to lead tens of thousands of sharp soldiers to attack him. Hence the victory.

Chen Wu and Gao Wu have the same name, and killing the thief's head tonight also pierced the chest of the thief's head, but it reminded Xun Zhen of Gao Wu.

Xun You praised: "This person is brave and resourceful."

Ambush dark posts and road posts, and use drums to signal jǐng news. If a thief is encountered in one place, the whole pavilion will rush to rescue and first fight the thief's head. This is a conspiracy; if you go into battle and kill the thief's head with your own hands, this is courage.

Handan Rong said in a teasing manner: "But this person's size and physique are not in vain."

Chen Wu was more than eight feet long and had a majestic physique. With his stature and physique, it was common for him to kill a thief with his own hands.

The teenager in the front yard entered the hall, saying that the laughter became smaller. The door to the backyard opened, and Chen Wu came in. Seeing Xun Zhen and others standing at the door of the house, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Tingxi has been attacked by thieves, disturbing your guest's sleep."

Xuankang's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Chen Wu's clothes were not the same clothes he was wearing when he first saw him. It should be that the last clothes were wet and stained with blood when he attacked the thief. He didn't want to be rude, so he changed his clothes. I just came to see Xun Zhen and the others.

Xun Zhen said with a smile: "Wen Jun attacked the thieves in the rain at night, and attacked the crowd with few people. He will triumph in less than an hour, and the famous generals in the battlefield are nothing more than this!"

"Noon is wild and vulgar, how dare you be similar to the famous generals in the battlefield? The bandits have been killed by me. Please sleep in peace."

Now that the thief has been settled, they have to hurry tomorrow morning, and Xun Zhen and the others also go back to their rooms to rest.

After a night of silence, everyone started crowing.

Chen Wu has already prepared breakfast~www.wuxiaspot.com~ here to invite everyone to eat. After the meal, Xun Zhen ordered Xuankang to withdraw the money to Chen Wu, but Chen Wujian refused.

Asked that Xun Zhen and the others were about to set off, Chen Wu ordered the young man to lead their horses out of the stable, put on saddles and bridles, and personally escorted them out of the pavilion. On the outer wall of the pavilion, Xun Zhen saw a row of **** heads hanging, knowing that this must be the thief who was killed last night, and pointed and asked, "Why didn't Chen Jun send these heads to the county temple? You can also get some rewards.”

Chen Wu replied: "It's not too late to hang it up for a few days to shock the thieves near and far, and then send it to the county temple."

Xun Zhen nodded, went downstairs to the road, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your hospitality from Jun Chen, I'll be taking my leave."

"It's rare to meet a distinguished guest at Bi Ting. The reception was not well done last night, and a thief in the middle of the night disturbed the guest's dream. I felt guilty about it. The guest should be crossing the river, right? Wuxi is the landlord, please lead the way for your distinguished guests." Before the autumn rain stopped, Chen Wu casually put on a sackcloth, led the way on foot, walked for a few miles, led Xun Zhen and others to the bridge, and said goodbye to their homes.

He entertained him attentively last night, and sent them off in the rain this morning. Xun Zhen thought he would say something or make a request when he said goodbye, but seeing that he didn't ask for anything, she thought to herself, "This person has a chivalrous spirit. Ah!" Watching his figure leaving in the autumn rain, he wrote down his name.
