Chapter 112: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright

This era is more superstitious, and he is always willing to believe in mysterious things or people, so Zeng Yu pulled a guise of a scholar. Sure enough, when Orion heard Zeng Yu's explanation, he immediately lost his doubts, and after hearing that Zeng Yu was an official, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"The grass people have seen adults, and I don't know the identity of adults just now, if you are offended, please forgive me. I have indeed heard of Zhao Yun mentioned by the adults, he is not far from our village, but the population of their village is not large, and it is also located in the mountains, if the adults do not dislike it, we can show the way for the adults. ”

"Is that true?" After getting an affirmative answer from the hunting account, Zeng Yu was still incredulous.

"Don't dare to deceive adults, Zhao Yun is indeed not far from me, and he has extraordinary martial arts at a young age, which is exactly in line with the appearance described by adults, and there will be no mistake in thinking about it." Orion thought that Zeng Yu was suspicious of him, and hurriedly explained.

"How far is your village from here, and how many days will it take us to get there if we leave?" Zeng Yu asked

Orion looked around, recalled, and said, "This place is not far from our village, and as long as there is no delay on the road, it will definitely be there in two days." ”

"This is 'the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village', I didn't expect that I couldn't find it, and I came out to hunt but had an unexpected harvest." After Zeng Yu heard it, he really put his mind at ease.

"Your lord, you have to thank me for this. If it weren't for my suggestion, we wouldn't have come here to hunt and cook, let alone meet these strong men, and we wouldn't have known Zhao Yun's whereabouts. When Guo Jia heard the exact news, he was also happy for Zeng Yu and joked beside him.

"Hahaha, Fengxiao, just now your father-in-law and I personally roasted a meal of tiger meat for you, isn't it enough to thank you?" Zeng Yu was also happy in his heart, and when he heard Guo Jia's ridicule, he laughed and fought back.

"That's not, this is our celebration of Yuan Hao's joining, how can it be mixed up." Guo Jia was shrewd in his heart, and hurriedly said no.

"That's not easy, a wise man once said, 'If there's nothing that can't be solved with one barbecue, if there is, then two'. This time it is considered a meritorious contribution to you, as for the reward, I will bake the rest for you later, and repay you well. ”

Guo Jia looked at the remaining tiger body of about one-tenth, estimated that there were at least twenty catties, waved his hand again and again, and said, "The lord spared me, Jia was already very supportive just now, let's stay for next time." ”

A tiger leg that Zeng Yu roasted just now, and a large piece of tiger meat, at least one-third of which went into Guo Jia's stomach, he was already very strong at this time, if he was allowed to eat it again, it was estimated that he would not want to eat barbecue meat in the future. He knew that Zeng Yu was ridiculing himself, but he still hurriedly refused, as for the reward for meritorious service, he knew that Zeng Yu would definitely not forget everyone's merits. They are only based on the period now, and the credit can naturally only be remembered in their hearts first, so he wanted to thank him just now, and he was just happy that Zeng Yu had found someone.

Zeng Yu didn't continue to joke with Guo Jia, everyone understood it in their hearts. He continued, "It's easy to spare you, you and Zirou go back to the county seat first and wait for us, and the others will go into the mountain with me to find Zhao Yun, and in five days, I will send a message back to you." ”

"Xu Yang, you arrange for two soldiers to escort the military division back!" Zeng Yu instructed Xu Yang again, Xu Yang and Yang Meng are the deputy generals of Zeng Yu's personal guard, responsible for daily affairs.

"No!" Xu Yang took the order and went to explain the matter.

"Lord, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for you to go so rashly?" Guo Jia saw that the hunters were far away, and he whispered to Zeng Yu, which naturally meant that he was worried that those hunters might make money and kill them. After all, in the deep mountains and old forests, even if Zeng Yu is the county order, it is estimated that it is useless, and there are more than 100 people in those hunters, the number is far more than Zeng Yu's ten personal soldiers, the so-called not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of what happens, as a military advisor, Guo Jia must take into account Zeng Yu's safety.

"It doesn't matter, I think these people are bloody men, and they won't do it for a little money. And there are ten pro-soldiers led by Chengyong, even if they are not defeated by the other party, I can also retreat, I let you go back to the county first, but also a backhand of the arrangement, if you have not received the news after five days, you can report to the official, even if the other party moves, we will definitely be fine with five days. Of course, Zeng Yu also considered Guo Jia's concerns.

After listening to Zeng Yu's arrangement, Guo Jia's heart was full of worries, and he could only say to Zeng Yu, "Jia congratulates the lord and wishes the lord a fierce general, Zirou and I are waiting for the lord's return in the county." ”

At this time, Xu Yang also selected two personal soldiers, Guo Jia and Zhao Yi cleaned up, turned over with the two personal soldiers, and rushed back to the county seat.

Zeng Yu and more than a dozen others followed a group of hunters to walk in the mountains and forests, because the mountains were not suitable for horseback riding, and everyone was leading the horses forward. Zeng Yu and the leader of the Orion walked in the forefront, and a group of personal soldiers under the leadership of Zhu Wen formed a faint protective circle of Zeng Yu, Guo Jia and the leader of the Orion, separating them from other Orions.

The leader of Orion also saw the purpose of Zeng Yu's actions in such a formation, but he knew that this was the other party's normal consideration, and he did not break it, but naturally led them all the way to the middle of the mountain forest.

Before Orion said that they chased the tiger for more than ten days in order to hunt the tiger, and gradually approached the tiger from far away from the village. Maybe this is God's destiny, so that Zeng Yu took this opportunity to get acquainted with this group of hunters, so as to know the news of Zhao Yun, with this good start, Zeng Yu was also full of confidence in whether he could persuade Zhao Yun next.

The leader of Orion is not a person who is good at talking, he saw that Zeng Yu did not mean to speak, so he did not bother too much, but dutifully led the way ahead. Because of the pursuit of the tigers, a vague road has been trampled out of the mountain forest, although it does not lead directly to the village where the hunter is located, but the direction is roughly the same, so everyone is relatively easy to get on the road at first.

Perhaps it was because of the meal of tiger meat that everyone was full of energy, and it was not until after dark that they could not see the road and everyone stopped. The hunters carried the ignition and soon lit the fire, Zeng Yu and the others did not deliberately separate from the hunters, everyone gathered around the fire. In order to express their gratitude to Zeng Yu, all the hunters have asked to go to the mountains and forests to hunt some pheasants and hares and so on back for dinner, Zeng Yu will certainly not refuse their kindness, at this time can only let the hunter take action, after all, there are only a dozen or so soldiers around him, if they are dispersed, it will make Zhu Wen and others feel that the risk is too great.

They are hunters who live in the mountains and forests, and even if they are blind in the dark, they can judge the location of their prey by their voices and other sounds, even if they are blind with torches. Moreover, it is almost in the deep mountains, inaccessible, so there are many prey, and soon a few teams of hunters who went out returned with a full load. The place they chose was next to the waterfall, cleaned it and roasted it directly on the fire.

After eating, whether it was Zeng Yu or the hunters, they didn't feel much sleep. Zeng Yu was very happy to learn the news of Zhao Yun, and the hunters finally hunted the tiger, and when they exchanged food, the next days were much more comfortable, and they also brought back the leftover meat of the tiger, which could be tasted by the children at home.

"I think you're all good, but you're usually taught?" Zeng Yu saw that everyone was sitting dryly, and took the lead in asking.

"Your Excellency, you guessed right. Our village is in the middle of the mountains, and there are many wild beasts around us, so when we are young, we will do some training under the supervision of our elders to avoid being injured by wild beasts. ”

"I see, did you settle in the mountains and forests for generations?" Guo Jia was more curious about the origin of these hunters, and he asked the leading hunters.

"I heard from my fathers that we migrated from Liangzhou during the Emperor Hedi period in order to escape the war." As for his origins, Orion did not hide.

Emperor Liu Zhao succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, and was ruled by the Empress Dowager Dou, and his relative Dou Xian held real power. After killing Dou Xian to take power, but Emperor He died young, and died of illness after 18 years of reign, and it has been more than 100 years. At that time, the prestige of the Han Dynasty was not as good as before, and the Qiang tribes rebelled from time to time, and many people in Liangzhou had no choice but to move inward.

"There are so many of you, in the middle of this deep mountain, where does the food come from?" When Zeng Yu asked them how their lives were going, those hunters said it was okay, so Zeng Yu asked.

"There is a large depression in the mountain forest, after our generation of reclamation, now each family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, plus the water source in the mountain forest is sufficient, the harvest is not bad." Orion replied.

However, Zeng Yu saw Orion's eyes flickering, and it seemed that there was still something hidden. Zeng Yu's heart turned for a moment, thinking that they were located in the deep mountains, and it was estimated that there were some tricks in paying taxes, but he didn't care, if the people couldn't live, the consequences would be even more troublesome. And Zeng Yu's Qianlong Village is like this, which is equivalent to a closed place, and they have never gone to the government to pay taxes.

Orion was relieved to see that Zeng Yu's expression had not changed. He was worried that Zeng Yu would continue to ask, so he took the initiative to say to Zeng Yu, "I don't know if the Xiangshi asked by the adult has ever told Zhao Yun's details?" ”

Zeng Yu's heart moved, and he replied, "These are not, they just told me that there is a martial artist in Zhending County, whose name is Zhao Yun." When I wanted to ask more, the priest was silent. ”

For Zhao Yun's situation when he was a teenager, whether it is in the romance or in the history books, there is no detailed introduction, and there are differences between the two, so Zeng Yu does not know the specific situation of Zhao Yun.
