Originally, Fang Xia's plan was to go directly south to the land of Jingxiang.

That was Liu Biao's territory, in the early period of the Three Kingdoms, either the princes were pinched with Dong Zhuo, or pinched each other, and after pinching and excluding those small princes who were not successful, Cao Cao pinched with Yuan Shao, so as to lay the foundation for his unification of the north. By the time Cao Cao went south to conquer Liu Biao and start the Battle of Chibi, it was already eighteen years later.

If you want to live a stable life, going to Jingxiang to farm is a good choice.

Fang Xia also wanted to take refuge in a prince before, but after thinking about it, he still didn't stick to this plan, after all, only one mouse is needed in the game to save the world, but in reality, in this troubled era of the Three Kingdoms, even civilian officials can go to the battlefield, even if they have a golden finger, they will have the possibility of being hacked to death by a random knife. So Fang Xia's current idea is to escape the war and run to farm.

However, there is no hurry, at least now Xuchang is still very safe, and there is rarely a war. However, since you want to meet the strategists of the future Great Wei Kingdom, you have to stay for a while. Here, before Boss Cao settled in and attacked Xuzhou and was stolen by Lu Bu, his life would not be in danger. When the war actually starts, it will have to wait for many years.

So after replenishing some food, Fang Xia asked his five subordinates to investigate, and found a local puppet and bought a small courtyard. Although no one in Xuchang will come over at this time, as soon as the princes of the Eighteenth Road ask for help, the army is so close, it also causes some panic, the price of grain is high, and the price of houses has plummeted.

The house is not big, but the advantage is that there is a patio in the backyard, and there is a small open space, and the six people are riding horses when they come, if the yard is not big enough, it is estimated that it will not be able to be found in the wild. Although there were no stables, Fang Xia's subordinates had mastered a lot of skills, including building a simple stable.

This house was inhabited before, and it was only recently vacated, so there was no dust, and even some bulky furniture was not taken away, although Fang Xia had a good life before, but it was not unacceptable to be a little bitter, and then purchased some basic supplies, so he chose the main house, and let a few guards go in by themselves.

But just on the night of settling in, the first problem arose.

Fang Xia didn't know how to cook, neither she nor Diao Chan had any cooking skills. Internet addicted girls often eat instant noodles every day because they are too lazy to go out, anyway, she doesn't pay much attention to appetite, and Diao Chan naturally has someone sent by Wang Yun to take charge of the kitchen, but those domestic servants are in Luoyang, and they are cumbersome, Fang Xia didn't plan to take them away.

When I'm in a hurry, it's just a matter of nibbling on dry food, but now that I have my own place to live, it's a bit bad to eat dry food every day.

Fang Xia summoned Wang Da to Wang Liuliu and five people, looked at them expressionlessly, and said slowly, "Who knows how to cook?"

Several people looked at each other, but of course there was no one.

In the end, the food on this day was served directly from the restaurant, there was no era of stir-frying, and the things were just so varied, in Fang Xia's opinion, it was not delicious, but it was much better than the dry food of the hard state.

Now it is a meal sharing system, and only Fang Xia is the master, so she ate alone in the main hall, originally wanted to call a few people in, but they strictly respected and humble, did not live or die, and Fang Xia did not force it, so she gave up and let them go to the side house to eat by themselves. After the meal, Fang Xia arranged the schedule of tomorrow's few people.

Wang Da was on standby at home, Wang San went to find a cook to come over, and he couldn't go to the restaurant every day, otherwise he would go bankrupt sooner or later. Wang Si went to inquire about who there are in Xuchang, such as whether there is news about Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo and others, Wang Wu and Wang Liu are ready to build a horse shed again, yesterday because of lack of time, they only made do with it hastily, but they can't do it for a long time.

Naturally, everyone agreed.

There was no nightlife in ancient times, just after the unitary hour, it was already dark, Fang Xia, as an Internet addict girl, had never slept until twelve o'clock, but her routine had been slightly better these days, although she was still not sleepy, she still waved her hand and asked the guards to go to bed first, and then she also lay on the bed and began to count the stars.

There was a hole in the roof of this room that had fallen into disrepair and was leaking, and I didn't notice it when I checked it, but I could see it clearly when I lay down at this time. Counting and counting, the tiredness of a day of riding a horse hit him, and Fang Xia also fell asleep.

There was nothing to do all night, and the next day Fang Xia just woke up, and when he washed his face with a basin of water, Wang San brought someone over.

"Lord Diao, the cook you wanted. ”

At this time, it was just spring, and it was still a little cool, but this woman was only wearing a tattered single dress, and the tattered holes were blocked with grass and mud, unkempt, and her body exuded a very bad smell, and she looked very wolf, no different from an old woman. The woman was followed by a little girl, who was also dirty.

Seeing Fang Xia, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she seemed to want to talk to Fang Xia. With just one face, Fang Xia can kill both men and women. However, the woman felt the little girl's movement, and was afraid that her dirty appearance would offend Fang Xia, so she grabbed her hand fiercely, and the little girl fell silent.

Fang Xia's pro-guard chiefs are all five big and three coarse, and although the force cannot be compared with the generals, it still looks quite deterrent. The woman and the girl were trembling all the time. It wasn't until he saw Fang Xia come out that he breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with a group of rough men, Fang Xia, as a woman, is much kinder, at least she won't have a bad idea about her.

"Meet your lordship. Hearing Wang San's name for Fang Xia, she knew that Fang Xia had an identity, and she didn't dare to call him by his name, so she only used an adult.

"Get up. Fang Xia nodded and said, "Do you know how to cook?"

"If you go back to your lordship, you will. ”

"That's okay," Fang Xia couldn't stand the smell a little, so he said, "Wang San, you can get some water first and let the two of them wash it clean." ”

"Yes. Wang San took the order and left.

The woman was a little frightened, and said, "Don't bother your lords, I'll just go myself." ”

Fang Xia only said: "It's okay, he has a lot of strength, if you come by yourself, it will be too late for lunch." ”

With a reason, the woman fell silent.

At this time, Wang Da also walked in, he held the post in his hand, and said, "Lord Diao Chan, Lord He Yi He has made a post and invited you to the banquet." ”

Fang Xia entered the city gate and made such a big noise, these Xuchang families must be investigated, this place is not far from Dong Zhuo's territory, one day is enough time for them to know the identity of the visitor. Judging from their current actions, they should have no bad intentions, otherwise it would definitely not be a post waiting for.

"Tomorrow?" Fang Xia glanced at the post and said, "Reply to the messenger, I must go to the appointment on time." By the way, is Wang Si back?"

"I haven't come back yet. Wang Da said.

"Well, go ahead. ”

"Yes. Wang Da turned and went.

The one who inquired about the news never came back, so Fang Xia took the opportunity to search for his memory.

At the end of the circle of friends in the third week, in order to rob Boss Cao's talents, she raised troops in Xuchang. Originally, there were two generals in Xuchang who were in the opposition, one was Pei Yuanshao, and the other was He Yi. Both of them were originally generals of the Yellow Turban Army, and when the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed, they regained their freedom. The Xuchang family also colluded with the Yellow Turban, so the two could continue to stay.

If he raised troops in Xuchang, He Yi could directly recruit him, but Pei Yuanshao was a little difficult, if the attributes of the people who recruited him were not high enough, it would be difficult to recruit. However, compared with Guo Jia and Xun Yu who appeared after the investigation, he is not worth mentioning, and in general he is still a small person. But if you can have a good relationship with them, the local area will also be more open.

It didn't take long for Wang San to come over with someone.

The mother and daughter were too dirty, and they wasted a lot of soap corners, and they couldn't wash them thoroughly, but they didn't smell bad, and they looked like people. I didn't want to take a second look at her when I looked at her unkempt before, but after cleaning it up, it revealed a bit of color.

And the little girl's facial features are smart, her skin is as crystal as warm jade, more beautiful than her mother, and her face is not weathered, but she is a real little beauty. Looking at Fang Xia, there was a look of closeness in her eyes, and she seemed to want to talk to Fang Xia, but she was suppressed by her mother without hesitation.

In this way, the mother and daughter are like this, in addition to fleeing, I am afraid that the more reason is to protect themselves. Two women, one big and one small, are already easy to encounter accidents, if they have some appearances, if they don't take a personal guard like Fang Xia, it is very easy to have something.

Fang Xia then asked them their names and experiences.

The woman claimed that her husband's surname was Gan, and she was originally from Peiguo, but her husband died a few days ago, and their orphans and widows had no choice but to flee all the way here. Along the way, they didn't dare to approach the crowd, so they could only pick some fruit and eat grass and trees to get by, because they were too dirty, the guards didn't let them in, thanks to Wang San asked them if they could cook, if they were willing to be cooks, so they were brought in.

In fact, it was a bit risky to follow Wang San, but this woman was also desperate and could survive by herself, but this little girl was only seven or eight years old, where could she survive? She felt sorry for her daughter, and saw that Wang San said that the main family was a woman, so she gritted her teeth and planned to gamble, anyway, if she didn't gamble, it would be the result of starvation.

Fang Xia saw that there was no problem, so he asked Wang San to arrange their accommodation, which was the old rule of finding domestic servants, taking care of food and housing, and not paying wages. Now during the war, it is very good to be fed, the woman saw that Fang Xia was willing to take her daughter in with her, and also counted a ration, of course she had no opinion, and thanked Fang Xia for her kindness and went down to cook.
