"Brother, don't be discouraged, there is still hope," this sentence was just a comfort to him. At this time, Guoan faced Guozhi who was sitting in front of him and said, "Thank you for your encouragement and do everything for the brotherhood," Guoan got up and left the teahouse. After leaving the teahouse, Guoan turned around and walked towards Liuxiangzhuang. Lian Junsheng got up and greeted with a smile: "The arrival of the eldest young master of the He family here has made my humble house shine. ”

Guoan sat down, looked at Lian Junsheng, and said: "Your acting skills are so good, what you said in front of your younger brother is really impassioned, even I believe that your words are true." ”

At this time, Lian Junsheng was very proud, and said: "This is called doing what he likes." ”

"It's a good one," After that, Guoan took out a folding fan from his arms and put it on the table, saying, "This is the folding fan that my brother carries with him, and it must be of some use to you." Lian Junsheng picked up the folding fan on the table, opened it, and inscribed a poem on it, "The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring and grass." "As soon as I looked at this poem, I knew that it was given to the country by Lord Luo before leaving, and this poem mainly expresses Lord Luo's concern for the country and the people. After that, Guoan got up and said, "Farewell." Lian Junsheng looked at this folding fan and was fascinated, and he kept laughing, disdainful of Guoan, who got up. Guoan flicked his sleeves and walked out of Liuxiangzhuang.

Guoan returned home, said goodbye to his family and left Chengdu. Guoan didn't know how to ride a horse, and only returned to his hometown Nanchong under the escort of his subordinates. When Kokuan returned to his hometown, he went to visit the local prefect. Standing in front of the door of the prefect's mansion, he hesitated for a moment before he stepped forward and grabbed the knocker and knocked on it. After the two doors opened the door, they looked at the national security in front of them for a long time, and then said, "Who are you?" What's the matter with my lord? ”

"In Xia He Guoan, this is a letter of introduction, please give this letter to your master, your lord will naturally know after reading it," After finishing speaking, he took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to the hands of the two of them, and said, "Be careful, please accept it." ”

The two of them looked at the ingot of silver in their hands, weighed its weight, and immediately had a smile on their faces, and said, "It turns out to be the eldest young master of the He family, the eldest young master, you wait here first, and the younger one will go to report to my master." When he was young, the prefect immediately invited Guoan to the hall to talk after receiving the letter of introduction written by He Jiehao. After Guoan stepped into the hall, he bowed and saluted: "Lord Peng, you are polite in your late life." ”

"Young Master, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Master Peng, for giving me a seat," Guoan sat aside. After Guoan sat down, the prefect first looked at Guoan in front of him, and then said, "Wouldn't it be condescending for the eldest young master to be a scribe next to this official." This official knows that your father is very respected by the imperial court, and now he is the Minister of Military Aircraft, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, how did he think of being a scribe next to this official? ”

"There is no size in the official position, and it is an honor to be able to serve Master Peng," Guoan pondered for a long time, and said: "On the way here, I heard some things about Chen Baili, the owner of the strong cottage, I don't know who this Chen Baili is?" Please also ask Master Peng to complain. ”

"Chen Baili is the leader of the cottage, this person has millions of people, robbing my official food, it is really a headache," the prefect felt a headache as soon as he heard Chen Baili of the strong cottage, and he held his head with one hand and sighed, unable to speak!

"You can send troops to encircle and suppress it!"

"It's difficult, the mountain road is rugged, it's not easy for the army to enter, and the encirclement and suppression have been encircled and suppressed many times, but before it has reached the Zhaimen, most of our army has been killed and wounded."

"I also heard some words from the people on the roadside, Chen Baili's youngest daughter will compete tomorrow to recruit relatives, and she will go to inquire first."

"Okay, this is a good idea, this official will send a few good hands to protect your safety, young master."

"Well, it's best to disguise yourself as a character in the rivers and lakes, and it's not easy to reveal your identity."

Chen Baili, the owner of the strong cottage, is just like his name, his reputation spreads outside a hundred miles, and everyone knows about his deeds, this person kills corrupt officials and robs official food, relieves the poor people, and is one of the righteous thieves in the rivers and lakes. Kill the chicken and worship the strong bull king in the mountain temple, the chicken blood is poured into the pool, and the blood is established to this day. There are hundreds of heroes in the village, and there are hundreds of people under his command. Today, his youngest daughter Chen Zinan competed to recruit relatives, and the people under the mountain came up to watch, and some chivalrous warriors admired Yu Zinan's beauty and rushed to the cottage.

At this time, Chen Baili stood on the martial platform and declared: "Friends on the rivers and lakes, thanks to the support of the people, today a grand martial arts competition and recruitment meeting will be held for the little girl. ”

Guoan in the audience looked at Chen Zinan on the stage intently, but he was a little fascinated. Behind him, a strong man ascended the martial platform. Zi Nan looked at the relative strong man, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

"Mei Changfeng of the Salt Gang is below, and I also ask the girl for advice," the strong man returned the favor with his fists and said.

"Okay, brother, please," the strong man clenched his fists, stepped forward, and struck out head-on. It can be seen that Zi Nan's kung fu is agile, and when he turns sideways, the strong man's first punch is a void, hitting the wooden stake behind Zi Nan, and the stake in front of him is shaking. The strong man turned, the man leaned back, and his foot blocked before he stepped out, and he pushed it out to the ground with his strength, and the dust was everywhere. The strong man stood up and saw Zi Nan standing on top of the martial platform, and pounced up, Zi Nan turned around again and pushed the strong man off the martial platform. The strong man standing under the stage looked at Zi Nan on the stage, hugged his fists and said: "I am indeed invincible in the next place, say goodbye," and then left in a gloomy manner, Zi Nan gave him away, and then said: "Which other hero can come to the stage?" These martial arts people who came to the stage were kicked off the stage by her one by one. Guoan stood in the audience and was dumbfounded, and the two people standing next to him scrambled to say, "Young Master, I'll come to the stage to compete with her." ”

"Don't be ugly here, let's go," after that, Guoan took the two of them and left first, and when he returned to the prefect's mansion, he began to be in a daze, and the figure of Zinan lingered in his mind. The prefect entered the mansion, looked at Guoan who was sitting next to him in a daze, and said, "Young master, I don't know how you feel when you went to Dali Cottage today to watch this martial arts competition?" ”

Guoan just said a few words and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The prefect kept looking at Guoan and kept laughing. Guoan looked at the prefect and said, "I don't know what the purpose of Lord Peng's smile is?" ”

"The young master is thinking about the daughter of the village owner."

Guoan's face was suddenly flushed, and he was a little shy, and said, "I don't know why? I always feel that her figure lingers in my mind," and then Guoan came back to his senses and said: "Master Peng, there must be a brave man in the late life who wants to be rewarded, and he posted a notice to find a martial arts master, and he must win in the later life." ”

"Well, you are the scribe of this official, so you will draft this notice."

Guoan stood up, bowed and saluted: "I have thanked Master Peng here. ”

"The young master is very polite, who called this official your father's good friend." Guoan exited the living room and returned to his place to begin drafting the notice, which he later posted at the city gate. Out of the crowd of onlookers came a swordsman, with a sword in his hand, standing under the city gate to take the notice and enter the city. Then a subordinate entered Guoan's room and shouted, "Young master, young master, someone has taken your notice." ”

Guoan stood up very excitedly and said, "Who is it?" Who is it? ”

"It's a swordsman."

"Hurry up and greet you," Guoan hesitated for a moment and said, "No, no, it's still Young Master Ben to greet you." Guoan walked out of the door and invited the swordsman into the room, sat down and said, "I don't know what to call the hero?" ”

"In the next life, wandering in the rivers and lakes, Zhuang Sheng is in the next life."

"Yu Daxia, please take a seat."

Zhuang Sheng was still standing and said, "I don't know where the sincerity of the adults is?" ”

Guoan ordered his subordinates to take out 3,000 taels of silver, and said: "This is 3,000 taels of silver in sincerity, and I will pay 3,000 taels of silver after the matter is completed. ”

"Okay, just rush to the city of adults, make a deal," Zhuang Sheng sat down at this time, looked at Guoan and said, "I don't know what adults need to do next?" ”

"Okay, Yu Daxia is really fast, okay, today is a strong copycat competition to recruit relatives, you have to come to the stage to win this ring for me, remember, don't hurt that girl."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it."

"This young master is He Guoan, the eldest young master of the He family, if you can win this ring, half of the sincerity gold will be yours," Guoan pondered for a long time and said: "Yu Daxia, since He Mou has shown sincerity, I don't know how Yu Daxia's sincerity is?" ”

"Please come out of the house and watch."

Zhuang Sheng stepped out of the room, the wind swept up the fallen leaves, drew the sword out of the sheath, the sword wanted to be retracted, and stepped down with one foot and leaned down, the long sword pointed out, dancing in the wind, although it was a little free. The sword flew in his hand, Zhuang Sheng turned around and retreated with the long sword of the flying whirlwind, and the sword in his hand stabbed back, striding and flying in the air, and after falling, he put away the long sword in his hand and put it into the sheath, only to see that none of the fallen leaves were intact. Guoan stood aside and clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, good swordsmanship, with your young master, it is enough to win." ”

Guoan went to the cottage again, Zhuang Shengfei went to the martial arts platform, and said: "I will compete on the stage for the eldest young master, and ask the girl to give advice." ”

"I don't know who your eldest young master is?"

"He Jia Guoan," Zi Nan looked at Guoan under the stage, and Guoan stood under the martial platform and shook the folding fan leisurely. Zi Nan looked at Zhuang Sheng on the stage and said, "You are the second young master of the He family." ”

Zhuang Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Guoan in the audience, Guoan just nodded.
