The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 7 Chapter 21: A soldier 4000 Xiangshendu (Part 1)

Xun Zhen wanted to return to his hometown, but Sun Jian didn't know his plan.

Sun Jian had no choice but to compromise.

Sun Jian listed some special products of Jing and Yang, such as lingerie from Changsha, paper from Jiyang, bronze mirrors from Kuaiji and Yue cloth. Jiyang was Cai Lun's hometown, and the paper there was quite famous, but Xun Zhen refused them all. Not only did he decline these specialties, but he brought some goods with him when he came to Changsha, which has not been used up yet, and he also left all the remaining goods to Sun Jian.

The reason for this is to get rid of the burden and return to Yingyin as soon as possible.

He said to leave.

That night, he had a banquet with Sun Jian and his wife, Sun Ce brothers, generals of Wu Jing, Huan Jie and others, and the next morning, he set foot on his way home.

When he was parting, he held Sun Jian's hand and said, "Wentai, Luoyang is in a state of turmoil, and you should be ready to prepare your troops in case of need."

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep Changsha safe."

- He did not understand the deep meaning of Xun Zhen's words.

Xun Zhen didn't say more, said goodbye to him, boarded the carriage with Cheng Jia, Wei Guang, Luan Gu, Chen Yi, Liu Bei, Jian Yong and others, and drove out under the entourage of Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. county seat.

After leaving Linxiang County, the righteous servants who followed him to Changsha were already waiting outside the city.

The two sides meet, facing the morning light, along the main road, running north.

Different from when he came to Changsha, when he came to Changsha, Xun Zhen spent many nights all the way, but this time he returned home, in order to buy time, he traveled day and night. The journey that started on May 15 took only eight or nine days to travel 1,200 miles and left the boundary of Jingzhou.

Jingzhou borders Yingchuan and Runan in Yuzhou. The road that Xunzhen took is straight to Yingchuan. After leaving Jingzhou, it is the land of Yingchuan.

Zhang Feichi rode back and said, "Kunyang is coming."

Xun Zhen has been away from his "hometown" for many years, and when he heard the familiar name "Kunyang", his mind suddenly came to his mind when he was in Yingchuan as the postmaster of the northern part and the county soldier Cao Ye, but now the situation in Luoyang is urgent, and he does not have too much trouble. With a lot of spare time and no mood to go "closer to nostalgia is more timid", he lifted the curtain and looked at the sky, it was still early, he said, "Don't stop, go around Kunyang and continue."

Although I have no intention to recall the past, but after all, I have returned to my "hometown". Perhaps it is because of psychological effects. As soon as she smells "Kunyang" and has entered Yingchuan County, even the air she breathes is different from other places. Now, there is a strong familiarity, and a touch of nostalgia is coming.

"I don't know what happened to the clan? I don't know what happened to Azhi at home? I haven't seen her for so long. I wonder if there is any change? She said that she married me, but I have a lot of separation with her." Thinking of this, Xun Zhen felt guilty.

Chen Zhi was only sixteen or seventeen when she married Xun Zhen. After all these years, the two of them met less often and separated more often.

Not long after Chen Zhi married Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen followed Huangfu Song to beg for the yellow turban. Later, Xun Zhen became an official in the state of Zhao and took Chen Zhi. Later, when Chen Zhi died, he sent Chen Zhi as a gift. Back in Yingchuan, the two of them hadn't seen each other for almost two years.

I also think of Xun Qian, Xun Qu, Xun Shuang, Xun Yu and other clansmen.

Xun Zhen thought again: "When I left my hometown, I already felt that the 'father' was getting older. I haven't seen him for so many years. I don't know how his health is? Very good, I corresponded with him in the past few years, but probably because I was in a good mood, I no longer heard that he was sick, but it was a long time ago, I haven't seen each other in these years, and I don't know if he looks old? Alas, Spring and winter meet, time makes people grow old, when we parted with Wen Ruo, we were twenty-four or five, Wen Ruo was crowned not long ago, and suddenly four or five years passed. Now I have stood, and Wen Ruo has also stood near Now, I wonder if his demeanor is better than before?"

I thought of Le Jin again.

"I haven't seen Wenqian for four or five years. I still remember that when I was the head of Fanyang Pavilion, I met Wenqian on the road under the snow. He went south alone and went to the funeral of his master, and I got a relationship with him. When we meet, the years pass by like flowing water, the first scene we met with him seems to be still in front of us, but I don't realize how many years have passed!"

Kunyang was the first county Xunzhen encountered after entering Yingchuan. After passing Kunyang, he traveled a hundred li, and the second county was Xiangcheng. After passing Xiangcheng, he went a few dozen miles to Yingyin. That night, Xun Zhen and the others rested for the night by the Rushui River, twenty miles away from Xiangcheng. The next day, they got up before dawn and went on their way. In the evening, they arrived at a wild pavilion only ten miles away from Yingyin.

This is already the boundary of Yingyin County.

After not returning home for many years, Xun Zhen specially ordered to rest here for one night.

The next morning, he first ordered the followers of Yi never to follow, and told them to go to Xu Zhong to return to the camp, and ordered them not to announce their return, and ordered them to quietly ask Xu Zhong to come to meet at home, and later, he ordered Dian Wei. After getting the water, bathing and changing clothes, washing away all the dust and hard work, the whole person looked brand new, and then he ordered the car to drive, no longer galloping on the road, but slowly walking towards Yingyin.

Xun Zhen is still desperate now, so she didn't want too many people to know about her return home this time. She didn't inform her family in advance, and she didn't inform Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng, Xin Ai and others in advance, so she went to Ying so low-key at noon. Yin County.

Entering the county, Xun Zhen couldn't help but pulled the curtains open a little and looked outside when she heard the voices of people outside the car.

Compared with the time when I left home many years ago, Yingyin has not changed much, except that the pedestrians on the street are a little sparser, and the "city" in the county is not as lively as it used to be, although Yingchuan has not changed in recent years. Suffered too much military disaster, but the world is in turmoil and war is endless, and Yingchuan will inevitably be affected.

Wu Concubine and Xun Zhen sat in the same car, put their heads together, and looked outside.

Xun Zhen smiled and pointed to Zhili District, the market, and the buildings that she passed by, and introduced her.

Suddenly, several young people in high-gown and Confucian clothes walked out of the roadside. Xun Zhen glanced at it and quickly lowered the curtain of the car.

Concubine Wu asked, "What's the matter?"

"I met an acquaintance... Those scholars are the children of the Liu family in the county."

In Yingyin County, there are two major noble families, one is the Xun family and the other is the Liu family.

Wu Concubine knew that Xunzhen's return this time was a "desperate return", and she did not want outsiders to know about it. She nodded sensible and pulled the curtain of the car a little tighter with her hands. Speaking of this Wu Concubine is really strange. Since Xun Zhen wrote a poem to her last time, her attitude towards Xun Zhen has changed drastically. Except that she is still jealous from time to time, she is obedient and obedient the rest of the time, which makes Xun Zhen very uncomfortable.

Madam Wu raised her head and glanced at Xun Zhen, but she hesitated.

Madam Wu is by no means a delicate person, and it is rare to see such a gesture of hers. Xun Zhen blamed it and asked with a smile, "What do you want to say to me?"

Wu Yan slightly opened her red lips and wanted to speak, but she didn't say a word for a while, and finally turned her face and looked at the corner of the carriage.

But she was uneasy about seeing Chen Zhi, Tang Er, and Chi Mai.

In the past, it was enough to hate Xun Zhen, but now she puts all her heart on Xun Zhen, and when she thinks of Chen Zhi's daughters, she is inevitably apprehensive, fearing that she will not be recognized by them, and if she is abandoned by Xun Zhen because of this , cold, she thought: "But what should I do?"

How did Xun Zhen know her thoughts?

Dian Wei led the way, Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other squires left and right, Xun Zhen and Liu Bei and others drove into Gaoyangli.

Gaoyangli is the residence of the Xun family, and it has a good reputation. In the past, when the magistrate and the prefect came, he had to get off the car inside and outside and walk in. At this time, he suddenly saw Xun Zhen's group of chariots and horses coming straight to the door, as if there was nowhere to go. The appearance of the car, Lijianmen, who guards the inner door, was busy coming out of the school next to the door and wanted to stop it.

Before he could stop him, he saw Dian Wei who was leading the way and Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou and others on both sides of the car.

Not only the Xun clan lived in Gaoyang Lizhong, the children of the Xun clan could not come to be the lijianmen, so this lijianmen was a different surname of Lizhong, but since this person could be the lijianmen of Gaoyangli, it was obvious. He won the trust of the Xun family, knew all the children of the Xun family, and was also very familiar with Xun Zhen.

The carriage that Xun Zhen was riding in ran right in front of him. Xun Zhen ordered a pause, lifted the curtain of the car, exposed her face, and smiled at him.

When Xun Zhen lived in Gaoyang, he did not despise him because of his low status and treated him with courtesy. Xun Zhen was worried, and when he saw that it was Xun Zhen's return, he was surprised and happy. He was happy that Xun Zhen had returned peacefully and had nothing to do, but he was surprised that Xun Zhen was now desperate.

He hurriedly turned his head and looked around, seeing that no one around noticed this scene, he took three steps and two steps, hurried to the car window, grabbed the car curtain, blocked the car window again, and said in a low voice: "Xun Jun , why did you come back!...Ah, did you come back for Mr. Erlong?"

When Xun Zhen heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
