119 True Temperament
Despite this, the closer the funeral day became, the more large the number of people poured into Jianchang. Kou Yan understood this, Tai Shici was so well-known during his lifetime, and it was also appropriate to alarm so many people when he died. Huang Zhong and Xu Shu expressed concern about this.
With so many people, Kou Yan's safety factor plummeted. Jiangdong sent people over to make trouble at the scene, but what if they came to carry out assassination?
As soon as he wanted to persuade Kou Yan to give up going to the scene and stay in the mansion, Kou Yan sent someone to invite him, saying that he was discussing the specific details of the funeral. Huang Zhong made up his mind to persuade Kou Yan to stay in the mansion. Coincidentally, when he arrived at the Duwei Mansion, Xu Shu also arrived, and the two happened to meet at the door.
The two politely greeted each other, humbled each other and refused to enter the Governor's Mansion. In the end, it was Huang Zhong who relied on his age and walked in front with a thick skin.
The two were two steps apart from each other. In the corridor, Huang Zhong deliberately slowed down and waited for Xu Shu to follow: "Brother Yuanzhi, things are a little not good!" Xu Shu blinked: "What news did the general get?"
"Brother, don't you know, my spies were dispersed long before the obituary was hung out, just to beware of the gang of thieves in Jiangdong. As far as I know, Tai Shici's death set off a monstrous wave in Jiangdong.
If it weren't for the imminent outbreak of Shanyue, Sun Quan would definitely not be able to swallow this breath! This time, he couldn't make any moves, and secretly he would not stop! If the little girl was determined to attend the funeral in person, you would have to persuade him, brother, it was too dangerous. The city is full of suspicious people right now!"
"This ...... Although I have a mentor-apprentice friendship with her, she has a strong temperament. What she decides, I'm afraid she can't be persuaded to. Xu Shu sighed, the longer he got along with his disciple, the more he felt that the two brothers and sisters were completely different personalities.
Kou Feng is honest and steady on weekdays, and he has no temper, and he will not do earth-shattering things until external forces force him ashore.
Kou Yan is completely different, this girl is stable on the outside, but inside she is like a hidden volcano, and if she says that it will erupt, it will erupt. The thing that poked her in the sore spot, at the slightest sign of it, she exploded. Other things, no matter how urgent it is, it can only be eighty degrees of water to her, far less than the boiling Cheng dΓΉ.
However, how could outsiders know what was the thing that pierced her heart? Even if he was her teacher, he only knew a rough idea. Xu Shu had no experience in accepting female disciples before, and Xu Shu instinctively shook his head about the disciple's temper.
Huang Zhong disagreed: "If you persuade her, she will always listen." Xu Shu nodded: "Okay, I'll try." The two of them stopped all the way to the door of Kou Yan's study, and the guards saw that the two of them were coming from afar, so they had already reported to Kou Yan through the door, and when the two approached, they bent down to make an invitation: "Lord Taishou is waiting for the two." β
The door opened, Huang Zhong and Xu Shu entered the study together, and saw Kou Yan sitting there. After the two took off their shoes and entered the room, Kou Yan stood up and greeted: "Teacher, General Huang." β
The three of them sat on the ground at the low table, and Kou Yan got straight to the point: "General Huang, Tai Shici's funeral ceremony is getting closer and closer, so what is Tai Shixiang's plan?"
"Uh...... He...... The subordinates sent people to guard the house day and night, and it was normal. Huang Zhong didn't expect that Kou Yan was the first to ask Tai Shixiang, so he was stunned for a moment and replied. "If there is no movement, it means that he is not dead, hmph, it is said that the tiger father has no dog, how did Tai Shi Ci get one. β
Huang Zhong could only smile bitterly, why do you want to see him commit suicide so much? If he commits suicide at this point, outsiders will definitely put a basin on your head, and it is really the day of the ceremony, how can you go out?
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong suddenly raised his head: "My subordinates have a word of persuasion, on the day of the funeral, in order to ensure safety, you should not go to the scene." β
"Don't worry, old general, I will be cautious, nothing will happen. When I came to Jianchang, the biggest thing was to attend Tai Shici's funeral, how many pairs of eyes were waiting to see me, how could I retreat from the battle? This funeral, there must have been people from Jiangdong, I hid in the Governor's Mansion, wouldn't it make them laugh shamefully?"
"Now that Jianchang City is in crisis, the old general is worried that you will be attacked, and he can't prevent it!" Xu Shu couldn't help but help. "Teacher, don't persuade me, I must go to Tai Shici's funeral. I invited you here to ask, among the guests, are there any friends of the teacher, or my senior brother?" Kou Yan blocked Xu Shu's words of persuasion and diverted the topic.
Xu Shu knew that she would be like this, so she had no choice but to follow her meaning: "I have been paying attention to the teacher these days, do you want to meet them here?" "After the funeral, I have never had the opportunity to hold a banquet in my own name." This opportunity is just right, and it can be regarded as borrowing Tai Shici's light. Kou Yan said.
"That's right, when you were in Xiangyang before, you were all taken care of by virtue. Now you are too shou in Changsha. They should be seen in a new capacity. Xu Shu nodded in agreement. This is also one of the reasons why the disciple insisted on Jianchang as Jianchangxing. Kou Yan admitted.
"Teacher, you know, Jingzhou's literary style is flourishing and talents are numerous, which has attracted the coveted forces of all parties. Cao Cao in the north is powerful, and he intends to recruit or vote for him is only a part.
Some are like Gan Xingba, who originally intended to vote in Jiangdong. The rest of them, like Senior Brother Zhuge , were recruited by my father in the name of reviving the Han Dynasty.
The disciple estimated that among the people who came to Jianchang to mourn Tai Shici this time, there would be those who wanted to join Jiangdong. But there are still some people who come to wait and see. β
"Taishou-sama is very worried. Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction. To be able to risk her life to Jianchang for such an illusory possibility, Kou Yan's courage and desire for talent are in line with her current identity, and at the same time reveal the true desire in her heart.
It is by no means dependent on Liu Biao or Cao Cao in the future, not dependent on anyone, but to create a world by himself. As long as there is an opportunity, go out and fight for it, if this character is born in a man, he is a hero. If you are born in a girl, you need a greater chance to play a role.
Kou Yan encountered an opportunity and firmly grasped it. As a county guard, she has more resources at her disposal and more choices for the future than Liu Bei. So she has more confidence than Liu Bei to contact those swinging scholars. If she wasn't too young, she could have come by herself, and she didn't need to invite Xu Shu.
Xu Shu faintly saw another trait from Kou Yan's body, in addition to being stubborn, strong, and sensitive. This trait is called saying that it is rock-solid, saying one thing and not saying another, and not doing things and not people. If this trait continues to shine with age, perhaps one day, it may be possible to develop a leadership temperament.
