Under the escort of Huang Zhong and others, he came to the vicinity of Guantao City in the afternoon of the next day.

Jiang Jackal's sharp eyes were still far away, and he saw the crowd standing next to the official road to greet him, and hurriedly said to Fu Zhu: "Mr. Fu, look, the lord is leading people out of the city to meet us in front." ”

Although he had not yet made up his mind to serve Han Zhan, he was still quite moved when he saw hundreds of people waiting on the side of the road in front of him in the heavy snow, and he muttered: "How can he be taught what virtue, he can actually go out of the city ten miles to greet him." ”

Han Zhan went out today, wearing a black fox cloak, and he didn't feel cold standing on the side of the road. Seeing that Fu Zhu was under the escort of Huang Zhong and others, he was coming towards him, and hurriedly greeted him. was still far away, so he smiled and bowed his hand to Fu Zhi: "Mr. Fu, I haven't seen you for half a year, don't come unharmed!" ”

Seeing that Han Zhan was saluting him, where was he still sitting firmly on horseback, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to salute back: "Tinghou is frustrated!" Tinghou has not had time to thank Fu for saving his life. ”

Han Zhan saw that Fu Zhu's clothes were a little thin, so he hurriedly took off the cloak on his body, put it on him, and said with concern: "Mr. Fu has suffered from several months of imprisonment, and his body can't stand the cold, so put on this cloak to keep out the cold." ”

Just when he was frustrated and grateful, Rob, who was standing not far away, thought to himself: "The last time I came to the pavilion, the lord gave a sable cloak to Mr. Shan Fu, and now Shan Fu has become the lord's subordinate; Then he gave Miss Cai a white fox cloak, and Miss Cai became the lord's woman. Now that he has given this Mr. Fu a black fox fur cloak, Mr. Fu must be about to return to the lord. This is probably what those readers said, 'undressing and pushing food', I didn't expect the effect to be so good, it seems that Mr. Hu should prepare more cloaks. ”

When the group returned to the city, Han Zhan was going to hold a banquet in the lobby to entertain Fu Zhu, but he didn't expect Fu Zhu to wave his hand and said: "Thank you Tinghou for your kindness, I want to rest for a while, and I also ask Tinghou to send someone to deliver the food to the room where I live." ”

The words of the frustrated professor were quite rude, and the civil and military officials standing beside Han Zhan all showed unhappy expressions on their faces. But Han Zhan still said with the same expression as usual: "According to what Mr. said, Benhou will send someone to deliver the food to Mr.'s room later." Then he called an errand officer and asked him to guide him to rest. When Fu Zhi left, Feng Liang and the jailer followed.

Han Zhan looked at the backs of several people and asked Huang Zhong, who was standing aside; "Han Sheng, I don't know who the two people who are following Mr. Fu?"

"Back to the lord's words," Huang Zhong hurriedly replied respectfully, "The one on the left is called Feng Liang, and he is a government official under Yuan Benchu. Yuan Shao ordered him to go to the prison with a sword to kill Mr. Fu, but he remembered that Mr. Fu had saved him, so he disobeyed Yuan Benchu's order and rescued Mr. Fu with Jiang Jackal and others. The one on the right is the jailer who took care of Mr. Fu, and when he saw Jiang Jackal and the others rescued Mr. Fu, he also left with him. ”

"Just let them follow Mr. Fu." Hearing that these two people also contributed to the rescue of Fu Zhu, Han Zhan suddenly had a good impression of the two of them, and hurriedly instructed Chen Zhen: "Filial piety, I will arrange a place for the two of them in the backyard later." ”

The next thing is to reward meritorious deeds, and the rescue of frustration is successful, and Jiang Jackal should be the first to take the lead, so Han Zhan praised him in addition to rewarding him with gold silk. Huang Zhong led his troops to repel Yuan Shao's pursuers, which was also indispensable, and Han Zhan also rewarded him with a large amount of gold silk.

In order to celebrate everyone's achievements, Han Zhan arranged a banquet in the hall to entertain all the meritorious ministers. After everyone was full of wine and food, Han Zhan announced in public that the class teacher would return to Jizhou tomorrow, which caused another cheer.

When Han Zhan came out of the banquet, he walked directly to the backyard, he wanted to visit Fu Zhu to see if there was any possibility of persuading him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Feng Liang and the jailers who were guarding the door. Feng Liang said respectfully: "See Tinghou, Mr. Fu occasionally feels cold and can't see guests, so please stay in Tinghou." ”

"What's the occasional cold," Han Zhan said secretly in his heart, "Obviously you just don't want to see me, but you came up with such a far-fetched reason." However, he did not debunk Fu Zhi's lies, but politely said to Feng Liang: "Since this is the case, then I will not bother Mr. Fu." Please tell Mr. Fu that Han Zhan had come to visit. ”

"Please rest assured," Feng Liang replied with a smile, "I will report the matter of Tinghou's visit to Mr. Fu later." ”

"That's very good." Han Zhan nodded, and then continued: "Please also tell Mr. Fu that we will return to Jizhou tomorrow, and please prepare as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Han Zhan left, Feng Liang pushed open the door and walked in and said to Fu Zhu, who was sitting on the fire, "Mr. Fu, Tinghou has already left. ”

After listening to this, he didn't speak, just nodded silently.

Regarding this reaction of Frustration, Feng Liang asked with some puzzlement: "Mr. Frustration, I don't understand, why do you treat Tinghou with sincerity, but you deliberately keep your distance from him?" ”

"People can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees," said with a sigh, "Do you think that you can't see the sincerity of the Pavilion Marquis?" Don't look at him now that he has the upper hand over Yuan Benchu, but he is too young and his power is too weak, how easy it is to completely defeat Yuan Benchu of the Fourth World and the Third Duke. ”

After listening to this, Feng Liang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked: "Mr. Fu, since this is the case, then this place should not stay for a long time, let's leave this place quickly!" ”

Fu Zhi looked up at Feng Liang and asked with a sneer, "Do you think we have left the Pavilion Tao now, where else can we go?" ”

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, there are many protégés and former officials, no matter where we flee, we may be arrested and become a meeting gift for Yuan Benchu. It seems that following Tinghou back to Jizhou may be our only choice. ”

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, since we don't know what the fate of the future is, we can only take one step at a time." It is said that he sighed and said to Feng Liang: "It's too cold outside, you two better go back early to rest." As he spoke, he patted the sitting kang with his hand and added, "Tinghou has a lot of wonderful ideas, and I heard that this heating kang was built by his subordinates according to the drawings he drawn. ”

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the army set off to return to Jizhou. In order to take care of Fu Zhu, Han Zhan specially gave up his carriage to Fu Zhu, and together with Huang Zhong, he rode at the front of the team.

After a day on the road, I finally returned to Jizhou. Han Zhan knew that Fu Zhu didn't want to see him for the time being, so he arranged for Luo Bu to escort Fu Zhu home, while he and Huang Zhong, Xu Shu, Xia Houlan and others went back to the State Pastoral Mansion directly.

Just when Han Zhan was discussing with Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, Fu Zhu also returned home and saw his family. When he saw his father returning, he was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down.

Frustrated to help his son up, he asked with concern, "How is everything at home?" ”

"Father, don't worry." Hearing Fu Zhu's question, Fu Hu hurriedly replied: "On that day, the city of Jizhou was broken, and the child thought that he would die. Who knew that after the Han family army entered the city, they did not commit any crimes. The Marquis of Zhangshui Pavilion even sent soldiers to guard the door, so as not to harass the young people from entering the house. ”

After Fu Hu introduced the situation in Jizhou, Fu Hu was very surprised. He said in his heart that he was an important adviser under Yuan Shao, and after Han Zhan occupied Jizhou, even if he didn't kill his family, he should put them under house arrest. Who knew that Han Zhan's style of doing things was surprising, he neither killed his own family nor put them under house arrest. On the contrary, he also sent people to protect his mansion and allowed his family to come and go freely.

Seeing that Fu Zhu was silent, Fu Hu hurriedly added: "Some time ago, my uncle planned to serve Tinghou and serve as an official and a half in Jizhou, but Tinghou refused. ”

When he heard that his brother wanted to join Han Zhan, but was rejected by Han Zhan, he felt very strange: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Frustrated Hu hurriedly smiled and said, "Back to my father's words, Tinghou said that you were in the prison of Yecheng at the time. If someone in our frustrated family is an official in Jizhou, it will inevitably threaten my father's life, so there is no need for the frustrated family to be an official in Jizhou for the time being. When my father returns to Jizhou safely one day, it will not be too late to arrange official positions for us. ”

Fu Zhu knows his brother Fu Zong very well and is keen to be an official. When Yuan Shao was in Jizhou, he visited him many times, asking him to say a few good words for him in front of Yuan Shao, so that he could be an official and a half-job. But he could only say that his brother's ability was mediocre, so he decisively refused.

At this time, someone came to report: "Master, the second master came to visit, and now he is outside the house." ”

Hearing that his brother Fu Zong was coming, Fu Zhu snorted, and then ordered, "Let him in." ”

Fu Zong followed behind his subordinates and strode in. Still far away, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother, I heard that you are back, and the younger brother has come to visit." ”

Although he didn't like this brother, he still politely beckoned the other party to sit down, and then asked knowingly: "Second brother, why do you have time to come here today?" ”

"Brother," Fu Zong hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't hear that my brother is back, so I came to see you." ”

"Nothing else?"

"Nope." Naturally, as soon as they met, Fu Zong asked Fu Zhu to intercede with Han Zhan and find a half-official position for himself, but pretended to say, "I'm just here to visit my brother." ”

"Okay, now that you've seen it, let's go back." Fu Zhu said, stood up and said to Fu Zong: "I have been tired all the way on the saddle horse, and I want to rest. ”

Seeing that Fu Zhu got up to leave, Fu Zong suddenly panicked, the purpose of his coming today was to seek an official position in the concentration city through Fu Zhu. At this moment, if he doesn't tell the truth, when he goes to the backyard to rest, what he wants to say will not be so convenient. So he hurriedly stopped the frustration: "Brother, please stay!" ”

Fu Zhu stopped, turned his head and asked, "What else is the matter with the second brother?" ”

"Brother," Fu Zong said with some confusion, "Tinghou has just captured Jizhou, and since there are not many people available, many affairs in Jizhou cannot be carried out for the time being. The younger brother is brave, please ask the elder brother to say a few kind words in front of the pavilion marquis, and ask for an official and a half position for the younger brother, I don't know if it is possible? ”

"I'm an idle cloud and a wild crane now, and I don't want to deal with any pavilions." Frustrated snorted and said, "Even if I go and plead with him in person, will he listen to me?" ”

Fu Zhu's words made Fu Zong completely dumbfounded. He originally thought that his brother was rescued from Yecheng by Han Zhan, and he would definitely be valued by Han Zhan, and it was not a matter of raising his hands to say a few words for himself. Who knows now that his brother doesn't have any official position.

Just as Fu Zong was about to leave in frustration, he saw a soldier standing guard outside the door running in in a hurry. He knew that Han Zhan had ordered that no one was allowed to enter the Fu Mansion until he had his permission. At this moment, when I saw a soldier entering the mansion, there were only two possibilities: one was to raid the house, and the other was to be committed by a big person.

Raiding the house, this is certainly impossible. How can there be a situation where people have just been rescued from Yecheng, and Jizhou has just returned to kill people. Then it can only be the second possibility, there is a big man visiting. And if you can let the soldiers standing guard outside the door casually enter the Fu Mansion, it proves that the person who came is not small, maybe it is Han Zhan himself.

Thinking of this, Fu Zong hurriedly stopped and turned his head to look at the soldier who rushed in. The soldier came to the front of Fu Zhu and bowed his hand: "Mr. Fu, my lord is asking to see me outside the mansion!" ”

Hearing that it was really Han Zhan who came, Fu Zong couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't wait for Fu Zhan to speak, so he preemptively said: "This military master, how can you let the Pavilion Marquis wait outside the mansion for a long time, hurry up and invite him in." ”

With little effort, Han Zhan walked into the Fu Mansion surrounded by several guards. Seeing Han Zhan coming to visit, even though he didn't want to deal with him anymore, he still went out of the main hall to greet him: "Grant to see the Pavilion Marquis!" ”

"Mr. Fu is excused!" Han Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Fu Zhi, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou took the liberty to make an offense, please don't be surprised by Mr. Fu!" ”

"No blame, no blame!" Fu Zong said excitedly on the side: "Tinghou, the outside is not the place to talk, please come into the house and talk in detail." ”

Seeing that Frustrated Sect had once again issued an opinion on his behalf, he glared at him dissatisfied, then turned to Han Zhan and said politely, "Tinghou, please go inside to talk." ”

The group walked into the main hall, and several guards brought by Han Zhan stayed outside the door. Fu Zong didn't wait for Fu Zhi's instructions, so he shouted outside: "Come on, serve tea to Tinghou!" ”

When the next person put the tea on the table in front of everyone, he asked Han Zhan lightly: "I don't know if Tinghou is here today, do you have any opinions?" ”

Han Zhan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Mr. Fu, Han is here to invite Mr. to come out as an official and help Han Mou. ”
