The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 5 Chapter 93: Sharpen my sharpening knife every night

First more.

——

The person from outside the hall was Xia Houlan.

Xiahoulan and Zhao Yun had been in the same village and had known each other since childhood. Thanks to Zhao Yun's recommendation, Xiahoulan was able to enter an official position under Xun Zhen's command, and because of Xiahoulan's admiration for Xun Zhen in his letters, Zhao Yun finally came to join Xun Zhen. When the two met, they had a lot of fun.

Xun You and Xi Zhicai heard the news and came one after another.

After Zhao Yun, Yan Meng, Dong Zhi and others committed suicide, they traveled for hundreds of miles without stopping, resting on wind and rain, and this time in Handan was a long journey, and it was inevitable that they would be exhausted. Xun Zhen was considerate, although there were still many things she didn't say to Zhao Yun, such as wanting to ask him about Changshan's thief, and wanting to talk about her thoughts after parting, but she still ended the "welcome meeting" early.

The government officials arranged the accommodation of Zhao Yun and others, Xun Zhen personally sent them over, and said to Zhao Yun with a smile: "Zilong, you can't wait for me to be humble, and I have come across mountains and rivers to meet each other. This affection is unreturnable. I haven't seen you for a few months. I should have a banquet tonight to clean up the dust for you, but I'm tired from waiting for a long time, and it's hard to arrange a good banquet in a hurry. I'll have to rest for a night and recover. Spirit, tomorrow night you and I will enjoy the wine again."

Zhao Yun said: "Chu Yan and Zhang Niujiao are together, and the state is in chaos again. Yun et al have seen all the way, Zhao County is still good, thieves in Changshan County are swarming, the surrounding fields are uneasy, corpses are lying everywhere on the road, and there are few people in the township pavilion, this Jizhou hangs upside down. When the people are in the midst of fire and water, Yun et al came to join the lieutenant now, not for anything else, but for the people of his hometown. In the future, the lieutenant will be like an army chasing thieves, Yun et al is willing to be the vanguard."

Zhao Yun's words were very tactful, but Xun Zhen and others were outstanding people, but they could hear the double meaning in his words.

The first meaning is that Xun Zhen politely declined to set up a banquet for him, and now "Jizhou is hanging upside down and the people are like water and fire", it seems inappropriate to hold a banquet; the second meaning is because I know that there is no imperial order. I can't go out of the county, so I dare not ask Xun Zhen to lead troops out of the country now to rescue Zhending, but if there is an order from the imperial court, I hope Xunzhen can try to help them recover Zhending.

Liu Bei followed Xun Zhen's side and saw that Zhao Yun, despite his young age, had a steady demeanor and dealt with it properly. Being able to get to know Zilong early..., alas, it's a pity."

Although Liu Bei is not from Jizhou, but from Zhuo County, Youzhou, but Zhuo County is not far from Changshan, there is only one Zhongshan country in the middle, and the distance is less than 200 miles. If you ride a fast horse from Zhending to Zhuo County, it will be five or six. The journey of the day can be regarded as half a fellow. They are located in the same Beizhou, not far from each other. The local customs, folk customs, accents and even the local proverbs of the two counties are quite similar. The scholars and heroes of the two counties also know each other. Although they don't talk much with Zhao Yun, they have a lot in common.

When the two of them were talking in the hall, Xun Zhen listened on the sidelines, and at that time he thought to himself: "Although Xuande and Zilong are not from the same hometown, but the hometown is close at hand, this is probably why they met each other under the tent of Gongsun Zan and Zilong finally met. One of the reasons to follow Xuande."

Different states often form different political groups. One is because of the current inconvenience of transportation, and most of the social circles of scholars, heroes and people in each state are limited to one county or one state, and the other is because of living habits. For example, Yuzhou and Jizhou, these two states are not far apart, but their daily diet is different, and their accents are also different. When Xun Zhen and Zhao Yun speak to each other, they must use Luoyang Zhengyin, while Liu Bei and Zhao Yun can directly use the dialect when speaking. , There is a saying that goes: "When a fellow sees a fellow, tears are shed". Once the dialect is spoken, it will make people feel very friendly and can shorten the distance between each other.

Xun Zhen complied with the promise, saying: "Zilong is worried about his hometown, and I know that. Don't worry, I will go to the prefectural government today to ask Fang Bo's plan to pacify the thieves. If I need Zhao County's help, I will definitely use it. Qing and others are the pioneers to restore Qing's hometown."

Zhao Yun, Yan Meng, and Dong Zhi bowed down to thank them.

Xun Zhen helped the three of them up, and smiled and sent them to the dormitory to rest in person.

After leaving the guest house, he turned back to the palace hall. On the way, Xun You approached Xun Zhen and asked in a low voice, "Lieutenant, do you really want to go to the Shuzhou Palace?"

When Huangfu Song left office, Xun Zhen, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai discussed the various situations that might occur after the new governor took office. One of them was that the new governor might dispatch soldiers from Zhao County to attack thieves after he took office. I didn't say much, but Xun You and his chief met. The two grew up together. They knew him very well and knew him very well. They already saw that he was reluctant to sacrifice his own soldiers and horses for the new prefect. But today, I heard that he generously promised, and took the initiative to agree to Zhao Yun that he would go to the Shuzhou Mansion, which made him feel strange.

Knowing his doubts, Xun Zhen smiled slightly and said in her heart: "Now Zhongshan, Changshan, Boling, Julu, Wei and other counties are full of beacon smoke, thieves are rising, and Gaoyi, the prefecture, is also in danger. Wang Fen, the presiding officer, is already in turmoil. I am afraid that there will be an order soon, ordering me to lead the troops out of the county. Serve for me earnestly, not to mention leading troops out of the county, it is not a bad idea to fight with Chu Feiyan and Zhang Niujiao."

Although Zhao Yun came to vote for him, he was not considered to be an official under his account at the moment.

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.

Since it took several months of hard work, and finally Zhao Yun came, it would be "a pity and a pity" if he couldn't be fully included in the account.

When he returned to the hall, Xun Zhen wrote as soon as he said it, and ordered Xuankang to grind the ink, and wrote the Daoist document himself, and ordered someone to send it to Gaoyi expeditiously.

Yingchuan has a lot of music, there are clerical appointments under the account, and Zhao Yun comes again. Although these people are not yet famous at this time, they are all famous generals in the Three Kingdoms period in the future. With time, they will all become talents in the field. Rao Shixun Zhen Chang was vigilant not to be arrogant, but he couldn't help but feel a little delighted.

When people are happy, they will talk a lot. Xi Zhicai, Liu Bei, Lu Guang, etc. saw the difference between him and the past, and guessed the reason for his happiness. And happy, Zhao Yun can be called outstanding, but in the end is a young man without a crown, worthy of the lieutenant's joy?" Anyway, because of Xun Zhen's attitude, everyone gave Zhao Yun a high look.

Everyone in the hall talked for a while, and discussed the thief for a while. Seeing that the sun was setting, and the afterglow dyed the flowers and trees in the courtyard red, they dispersed.

Xun Zhen was in a good mood and took brisk steps back to the back house.

Outside the door of the back house, Xun Zhen stopped and asked Dian Wei who was behind the squire: "Awei, you haven't rested for a month, haven't you? You don't have to be on duty tonight, just take a good rest for two days."

"Wei is not tired."

"What are you not tired of? The way of civil and martial arts, one by one. Although the state is in chaos, my Zhao County alone is peaceful and safe, and the thieves of Huangbeard and Wang Dang have been wiped out, so you don't have to worry about any more assassins. That's it. It's fixed, you can rest for two days."

"This……."

Xun Zhen pretended to be unhappy, and said with a straight face: "What is this? This is a military order!" Seeing Dian Wei's still reluctance, he smiled helplessly, "It's okay, it's okay, Awei, Zilong is here. , I plan to have a good-bye relationship with him in the next two days. I shouldn't leave the mansion. What danger can I have in the mansion? Well, if I leave the mansion, I will send someone to call you, how?"

"Yes."

Dian Wei was grateful for Xun Zhen's kindness and kindness to him, and Xu Zhong, who was also grateful for Xun Zhen's kindness, could be said to be the most hardworking and loyal under Xun Zhen's command. Xu Zhong sat in the barracks, and tried his best to follow Xun Zhen's orders to train new and old soldiers, while Dian Wei served Xun Zhen around him day and night. He has a dormitory, but he hardly ever lived in it. He slept in the school room by the door of the back house almost every night.

So loyal and serious, it is no wonder that in the original history, Cao Cao wept endlessly after hearing about his death, and he never forgets it. But having said that, Ren Fei of the unified military account was extremely unacceptable, and Xun Zhen's trust in Dian Wei was also unmatched by others.

The two can be described as kings and ministers.

Dian Wei explained in detail to Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou, and ordered them to live outside the Wei's house without slack, and then returned to the house they had not set foot in for a long time.

...

When Zhao Yun came, Xun Zhen was very happy and wanted to share the joy with Wu Concubine. She was about to go to the house where Chen Zhi lived, but she saw Wu Concubine coming up from the side and Yingying bowing down to greet her.

It was late spring, the sun and the sky were warm, and all the servants in the mansion changed into thick clothes and put on spring clothes, and Wu Concubine was no exception.

I saw her head in a bun, wearing a black saffron skirt, a white ribbon wrapped around her waist, hanging down to the lower left, and her feet were on loose shoes.

——The falling horse bun is a hairstyle invented by Sun Shou, the wife of the domineering general Liang Ji during the reign of the late emperor. The feeling of a person's bun falling apart is like a woman falling off a horse, and like "sorrowful makeup", it is a kind of morbid aesthetic with "imitation of illness" as its beauty. It is undeniable that this bun style falls off. In the eyes of a man, it can indeed increase the woman's pitiful and seductive attitude, making the man feel pity.

It's a pity that Wu Concubine's beauty did not make Xun Zhen feel pity. Instead, it reminded him of her reckless behavior that night, and vaguely remembered that night, when the wind and rain passed, Wu Concubine's hair The bun seems to be loose and unkempt like today, as if it has fallen.

It's strange to say that, since Xun Zhen accepted the invitation of Chi's maid and stopped confinement of Wu Concubine in the house, Wu Concubine became more and more obedient to Xun Zhen. At first, she greeted Xun from a distance on the porch outside the house. Zhen returned to the house, then she greeted her in the courtyard, and now she was greeted at the door of the house, and when she greeted her, she saluted very respectfully, and she must have thrown herself on the ground, even more respectful than ordinary maids.

I don't know if it was because the skirt didn't fit properly, or because she had been nourished by Xun Zhen for so many months, and her plumpness had grown. At this time, she bowed down to the ground with her knees down and her head bowed. The ru skirt seemed to be a size smaller, which made her round buttocks more complimented.

It was like inserting a small tail on her buttocks, and she looked like a tamed wild fox begging for the love of her master.

Xun Zhen's heart lit up, and she said, "This woman is getting more and more attractive."

He revisited the night cloud and rain intently, and glanced at Chi Mai standing in front of the pavilion not far away, holding a flower branch in his forehand, and looked over with resentment.

For the past two months, Xun Zhen has been busy training soldiers and attacking bandits. Every day, he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. It is often late at night when he returns to the house. www.wuxiaspot.com~ So although I knew what the maidservant was thinking, I never reported it.

To be honest, Maid Chi is now living in the back house, and the two of them can't look up and see each other, Xun Zhen is also eager to move, pressing her desire for Concubine Wu, telling her to get up, and walking towards Maid Chi, thinking: " A-Zhi came to vote for me from her hometown, and she must be repaid for her kindness. Find a chance to talk to A-Zhi in two days, and put her in the room."

Concubine Wu got up from the ground and watched Xun Zhen go to Maid Chi, her eyes stopped for a while on the face of Maid Chi, who immediately became happy and cheerful, and she noticed that Maid Chi looked at her and lowered her head meekly. , under the care of the two strong maids who "watched" her, along the road paved with fine stones, slowly crossed the courtyard, and returned to the house where she lived in the corner of the courtyard.

When the two strong maids closed the door and she was the only one left in the room, she first slipped behind the door, put her ear to the door and listened to the movement outside for a while, and then crept to the window of the courtyard to go outside. After taking a few glances and seeing that no one was paying attention to the room, she came to the bed, squatted down, reached under the head of the bed, and took out a silver hairpin from the gap between the bedboards—the silver hairpin belonged to her. Last time, she stole it from the maid Chi's house on the occasion of "relying to thank the maidservant Chi for interceding for her". She took the silver hairpin in her hand, and then she took the hardwood bridle to hold the grease, powder, and eyebrow pencil. Then began to sharpen the tip of the hairpin carefully on the hardwood hut, like sharpening a knife.

The deference in the courtyard was gone by now, she gritted her teeth and rubbed the tip of the hairpin, thinking: "I keep it low and small every day, pretending to be docile, I should have dispelled the vigilance of this dog thief, I I can't believe he can endure it for a few more days!"

Concubine Wu is not a virtuous woman, but she is also not someone who is easy to give in. She never gave up the idea of ​​revenge for her husband, brother and husband.
