When the other hunters knew that the scribe who had been following Zeng Yu was Tian Feng, a famous scholar in Jizhou, everyone was very excited and wanted to go up to meet him, but they were stopped by the leading hunters, and they had to hurry.

After that, everyone continued to hurry, but the atmosphere was more harmonious, and everyone's morale was high in action. However, the road behind is not as easy to walk as before, and there are people who are used to the mountains and forests, but it does not have much effect, there are a group of hunters in front of the road, and their speed of action has not decreased. It wasn't until the end of Shen Shi, that is, at four o'clock in the afternoon, that the leading Orion came over and said, "Lord Qiqi, our village is not far ahead, and it is not early today, so Lord and Mr. may wish to rest at our place for one night, and then set off tomorrow morning to find that Zhao Yun." ”

Zeng Yu also planned to do so, and when Orion said it at this time, he naturally responded. The leader of the Orion had already taken the lead in arranging for someone to go to the village to inform the guests that they had come, so when Zeng Yu and the others arrived at the village, the people in the village were waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

Everyone saluted Zeng Yu together, but they mainly wanted to see Tian Feng, a famous man in Jizhou. When Tian Feng appeared, everyone stepped forward to see the appearance of the celebrity, but fortunately, there were personal soldiers beside him, and everyone was relatively restrained, so it didn't affect too much. Tian Feng also wanted everyone to see each other one by one, showing the demeanor of celebrities, and at the same time solemnly introduced Zeng Yu to everyone, and told everyone about Zeng Yu's many governance policies in Anping County.

The leader of the Orion came out of the crowd at this time and said to Zeng Yu, "My lord, the village has prepared a place for you to stay, please come with me." ”

There were very few outsiders in the village, and there were no vacant houses, so the Orion leader led several families in the village in a row, and temporarily vacated the houses, including his own, to the people. The villagers were originally admired by Tian Feng's reputation and were willing to entertain Tian Feng, so when the Orion leader contacted the villagers, no one refused, but enthusiastically gave up his house. As for their war horses, they were tied to the outside of the house, and they stayed in the mountains and forests for a few days, and they did not worry about the food and drink of the war horses.

Zeng Yu and the others did not live in vain, and gave the leader of Orion a gold ingot as the cost of entertainment in the past few days. Originally, Orion's family didn't want to accept it, but Zeng Yu forcibly stuffed it, firstly, the villagers had to be fed and lodged for the past few days, and secondly, he also needed to retain the image of a benevolent and loving Shangguan in the hearts of the villagers.

After settling down, it was getting dark, and the leader of the Orion was also the head of the village, and he introduced himself as Jiang Shou. As soon as the night fell, he asked him to bring someone to bring dinner over, and after the meal was served, he said to Zeng Yu, "The food in the village is relatively simple, and I hope that the adults and Mr. will forgive me." ”

Zeng Yu saw the food on the table, although it could not be white rice, but slowly the pot was full of small rice, and the dishes were also wild vegetables picked at this time, and there were even a few slices of meat in it, he knew that this should be the highest standard of hospitality that the villagers could come up with.

"The village chief has a heart!"

"This is as it should be, I hope adults have fun using it." Jiang Shou saw that Zeng Yu didn't mind, and said to him with a sigh of relief.

Zeng Yu motioned to Jiang Shou not to greet him beside him, they just need to solve it themselves. Jiang Shou was not reluctant, and said to Zeng Yu, "Then don't disturb the adults' meals, I'll come over and clean up later." ”

Whether it was Zeng Yu or the people who were close to the soldiers, although they didn't feel hard when they rushed to the mountain road, after all, they were in the mountains and forests for two days, and they didn't have a good rest. Now that they had arrived in the village, they finally had a comfortable place to rest, and except for those who had arranged for the night to stand guard and keep vigil, everyone else began to rest after dinner.

After getting up the next day, Zeng Yu asked Zhu Wen to arrange for two people to go back to the county seat, which was an appointment between them and Guo Jia, and after arriving at the destination, they would send someone back to deliver the letter.

As for Zeng Yu himself, under the escort of Zhu Wen and the rest of his own soldiers, he went to Zhao Yun's village with Tian Feng. Because he didn't know the way, Jiang Shou personally led the way and led them over.

The small village where Zhao Yun was located was indeed not far from Jiang Shou, and after walking along the mountain road for almost an hour, Zeng Yu judged from the faint sound in front of the mountain forest that the village was in front, and sure enough, after a dense forest, their destination was located in the open area on the mountainside in front.

In front of Zeng Yu and others, there was still a small piece of farmland, and at this time, a group of villagers were busy harvesting in the farmland. Zeng Yu's intrusion suddenly attracted their attention, but fortunately, they saw that Jiang Shou was also in the crowd, as if he was leading the way for those people, and they didn't show too much nervousness.

I saw one of the elderly villagers put down his work and walked towards them. When he got closer, he arched his hand to Zeng Yu and the others and asked, "Dare to ask, where did you come from?" ”

Zeng Yu didn't answer, but Jiang Shou stepped forward and said to the other party, "This is Zeng County Commander from Anping County, Shangdang County, and next to him is Mr. Tian Yuanhao, a famous man from Jizhou, they are here to find Zhao Yun in your village." ”

"I don't know if Lord Zeng and Mr. Yuan Hao are here, and I hope to forgive my sins, but I don't know what Lord Zeng is looking for Zhao Yun?"

"Elder, what is the name, I am looking for Zhao Yunnai because I heard that he is benevolent and brave, and intends to recruit him into the army, I don't know if he is in the village, is it convenient for me to wait to see him?" Zeng Yu took the conversation and said to the villagers.

"The old man's surname is Zhao, and his single name is An. Zhao Yun is indeed in the village now, my lord Mr. Hetian, please come with me to the village, and I will let Zhao Yun come over. After Zhao An introduced himself, he said to Zeng Yu that he knew Jiang Shou, so he did not doubt the identity of Zeng Yu and the others.

"There is Lao Zhao, who is old!"

Zhao An led the way in front, Zeng Yu and the others followed closely behind, and when passing by the field, Zhao An stopped and asked a villager next to him to inform Zhao Yun to go to his house, and then continued to lead the way for Zeng Yu and others.

When they came to the small village located on the mountainside that Zeng Yu had just seen, there were only a dozen or so houses, surrounded by a circle, with a small martial arts arena in the middle, and a weapon rack in the middle of the field, and a few spears erected in the middle, but they were all wooden. Zhao An led Zeng Yu and the others to one of the houses, which was his house, compared to the other houses, Zhao An's house was located at the top of the village, facing the path they came in, and Zhao An's house was the most spacious of all the houses, although it was just as simple.

The door of the house was open, and Zhao An took Zeng Yu and them straight in. There was no one else in Zhao An's house, he led Zeng Yu and the others to the hall, and after inviting Zeng Yu and the others to sit down, he said, "Wait a minute, the old man will pour tea for everyone, I have already sent someone to inform Zhao Yun, he should come over soon." ”

After Zhao An left, Zhu Wen, who was standing behind Zeng Yu, suddenly said, "Lord, have you noticed it, although this village is small and looks very simple, but I took a look just now, and it is very suitable for defense." And looking at this old man's house, the same is true, although it looks simple, as long as personnel are stationed in key positions, it can effectively prevent outsiders from attacking, and it should be deliberately and carefully arranged. ”

"Yes, when I entered the village just now, I also found that as long as the people are concentrated in a few houses in the middle, they can effectively defend the entrances to the village. When I heard Lao Jiang say that Zhao Yun and their village were heirlooms with martial arts, I was a little unconvinced, but now it seems that we underestimated this small village. Zeng Yu nodded and said.

"Lord, since this is the case, do you think Zhao Yun will accept our conquest?" Originally, Zhu Wen thought that he was just here to recruit an ordinary martial arts practitioner, but now it seems that the other party is a soldier heir, so the other party's requirements must be higher. And Zhu Wen is also more concerned about the conquest, hoping that Zeng Yu can recruit him to his command.

"It's okay, since we're here, it means there's a chance, just do your best!" Zeng Yu didn't worry too much, but comforted.

When Zhao An came back, he was followed by a young man with a teapot in his hand. In the eyes of Zeng Yu and others, this person is not very old, at most he is twenty or eight years old.

After coming in, Zhao An took the teapot and poured it for Zeng Yu to pour them one by one, and then pulled Zhao Yun and said, "My lord, this is the Zhao Yun you are looking for." ”

"Yun has seen adults, and I have seen Mr. Yuan Hao!" Zhao Yun saluted Zeng Yu and Tian Feng, and showed good cultivation in his actions.

Seeing this, Zeng Yu and Tian Feng couldn't help but nodded, just looking at the impression of this place, whether it was Tian Feng or the soldiers behind them, they all felt that Zhao Yun was worthy of being the person Zeng Yu was looking for. As for Zeng Yu, he knows Zhao Yun's character and ability very well, but he takes it for granted, such Zhao Yun is an immortal general who is worth his energy to find.

I don't know what the specific origin of Zhaojiacun is, so Zeng Yu didn't beat around the bush, stood up and asked Zhao Yun, "I want to recruit you to serve under my account, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Zhao Yun didn't expect Zeng Yu to be so direct, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, he turned his head to look at Zhao An and asked for help from the most respected elder in the Zhao family's village.

Zhao An stood up and walked to Zhao Yun's side, patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, signaled him not to worry, and then said to Zeng Yu, "Lord Zeng, I don't know what position you plan to give him if Yun'er goes to Anping County?" ”

"If you come to my Anping County, Zhao Yundang, as the deputy general of the county lieutenant of Anping County, will be in charge of the two thousand cavalry in Anping County together with the other two." This was something Zeng Yu had thought about a long time ago, he knew that Zhao Yun was a natural cavalry commander, and now his only cavalry was only the two thousand people trained in Lingyun Village, Anping County.

"Co-in charge? I wonder what the other two are? Zhao An asked.

"This is only temporary, I believe that with Zhao Yun's ability, he will definitely be able to stand out from it, and then I will let him be in charge alone." Zeng Yu did not answer Zhao An directly, because the two leaders who had surrendered in Huanglongzhai had surrendered before were currently training cavalry together in Anping County.
