Throwing the angelica, which looked like ginseng, to the kitten at his feet, Gongsun Xun immediately opened his wife's letter - this letter was all written on paper, and it was obvious that the papermaker who sent it back was indeed very effective.

In fact, Aunt Gongsun also asked her son to use the blank 'paper book' she sent to copy some classics, and then give them to celebrities and scholars in various places for publicity and promotion...... As for why it is from all over the country and not Luoyang, the letter finally writes the reason very clearly, Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Chan are really 'Angelica'!

"Why did Ah Xun call me back?" Gongsun Chan was inexplicable. "Stop, when did you add the crown?"

"I'll talk about this later," Gongsun Xun raised the letter in Yang's hand. "Big brother, my mother is here, let's return to our hometown as soon as possible......"

"Why?" Gongsun Chan was puzzled.

"Eldest brother, the 'father-in-law', our Hou Tai Shou, has just recently been appointed by the superiors, so that he is ready to hand over, and when the new Tai Shou comes, he will go to Ueya County......

"Why Upper Valley County?" Gongsun Chan was shocked, and the words came out of his mouth repeatedly. "We are officials in the county, and if we look at the files of the city and the household registration, we all know that our Liaoxi is the second-to-last county of Youzhou, and Shanggu is the first-to-last...... Moreover, this western Liaoning is larger, rich in products, and the location is critical, so it can be called a business trip, so what is there in Shanggu? After a few years in office, can't you change your future for a better time? Didn't you offend a senior member of the DPRK and China? ”

"Big brother, don't worry." Gongsun Xun hurriedly said with relief. "Your father-in-law's transfer this time is probably a good thing...... Think about it, what are the Shanggu and Liaoxi? ”

"It's all ...... Are there all Wuhuan? Gongsun Zhan's brain is not stupid at all, and he couldn't help but gasp after a little thought. I know, isn't it the last time Lu Longsai won a big victory, and the DPRK and China decided that my father-in-law was good at using soldiers? This upper valley is going to move troops? ”

"My mother said in her letter that everyone in Liaoxi thinks the same way." Gongsun Xun nodded. And now there are vague rumors in Luozhong that he wants to move an army against Xianbei...... Big brother, think about it, if you really use troops against Xianbei, you must send troops from Daijun to Yunzhong, and then you will inevitably use Shanggu Wuhuan in the west instead of Liaoxi Wuhuan in the east. ”

"So my father-in-law will be of great use?"

"Not necessarily." Gongsun Xun said thoughtfully. "There are more than 9,000 Wuhuan tents in Shanggu, and according to the usual practice, once it is activated, the imperial court will naturally set up a 2,000-stone Wuhuan lieutenant to directly control it. However, I am afraid that there is also a meaning of wanting to use our Hou Taishou's 'Zhibing' to stabilize the back road......"

"I'm relieved." Gongsun Chan said with a long sigh of relief. "It's a good thing. But why do we need to go back? Even if you want to move a large army, then it will be difficult to succeed in a year and a half, right? If you want us to accumulate some military merits, it will not be too late for another half a year. ”

"Big brother is confused." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "Ah Yue doesn't care, the two of us are still officials in Liaoxi, how can we participate in that kind of war? We're going back to our jobs! ”

At this moment, Gongsun Chan finally understood completely: "Auntie, doesn't she mean that we should go back before my father-in-law leaves office, so that he can arrange a beautiful difference for us?" ”

"Mainly you, where is my turn?" Gongsun Xun continued to laugh. "I didn't marry the daughter of the Taishou of Liaoxi...... The letter said that the new Taishou surname was Zhao, and I don't know when it will come, so you'd better leave for Liaoxi as soon as possible, big brother. When the time comes, it doesn't hurt to go to the valley with your father-in-law, or to occupy a key position. Ah Yue and I cleaned up in the back, and then slowly followed. ”

"That's it!" Gongsun Chan is also a simple person. "I'll go back first, try to find a good position, and if I can, try to get a ...... for you I just don't know what kind of character this newcomer Zhao Taishou is, is it good to get along? As a minister, I am still controlled by others after all. ”

Gongsun Xun smiled but did not answer.

In this way, Gongsun Chan drove lightly, first entered Luo to resign, and then went directly on the road, but Gongsun Xun began to arrange it here in the Shi family.

There is no need to move the property, and in the next few years, the Gongsun brothers may have to return to Luoyang to be a Lang official and receive training from the center of the imperial court...... And nine times out of ten, the time of coming to Beijing will be staggered.

Besides, after all, the courtyard of the Shu clan is at the foot of the Shi Mountain, so it doesn't hurt to keep it for Lu Zhi.

The real problem is the house.

"The righteous house is definitely going to be in business." In the side room of the lobby of the righteous house, Gongsun Xun and Han Dang sat opposite each other. "The question is who will run it, won't Brother Yigong go back to Liaoxi with me?"

"It's nature." Han Dang nodded abruptly. "It is inevitable to return to the hometown, but it is rare to be happy here, and in the past half a year, there have been many righteous people gathered here, I don't know ......"

Gongsun Xun naturally knew that the other party was asking the person to take over: "Brother Ziheng came to me before and said that he wanted to go to Liaoxi with me......"

Han Dang was taken aback, and almost didn't overturn a few stools under his buttocks: "Why is this?" ”

"Oh," Gongsun Xun said disapprehantly. "Actually, as early as Xiyang, Brother Ziheng had already recognized me as the master, but he was afraid that Master Lu would have thoughts when he found out, so he never told outsiders...... And don't say it to anyone. ”

"Yes." Han Dang sat back in amazement, but couldn't help but speak again. "Shaojun ......"

"Brother Yigong, didn't I say it? Now that you've been crowned, just call me the word. Seeing the other party's reaction, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh. And I know what you're thinking, with all due respect, you're a bit of a fool, you and I were born and died together outside Lu Long, and we are thousands of miles together, so why bother with this name? If I had two thousand stones one day, I wouldn't spare you if you didn't call me a public statement, but now I'm just a white body, and it's a joke to care about this. ”

"It's that I'm thinking too much." Han Dang laughed dryly, and also felt a little embarrassed. "But after all, I sold horses on the Amway when I was young, and I had the privilege of meeting my mother...... It's better to call Shaojun, I'm not used to shouting words after all. ”

"Whatever you want." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head, he was too lazy to care about this. "Let's continue what we just said, although Brother Ziheng wants to go to Liaoxi with me, I think that his newlywed Yan'er will inevitably be unkind to me for thousands of miles, and there is also a person with status to preside over it. Therefore, after thinking about it for two days, it was decided to let him stay and stay here as a student of Master Lu. After two years, I will raise the ...... of filial piety and Langguan to return to Luoyang."

"That's just as well." Han Dang nodded after coming back to his senses. "Although Lu Ziheng is a scribe, he is quite good at interacting with people, so he should have no problem...... The point is, Shaojun has to use too few people, otherwise why use scribes in such a place? ”

Gongsun Xun didn't think so, but he didn't bother to discuss this, but continued to ask: "You just said that there are a lot of righteous people gathered here, so is there any available person here?" ”

"There are a few people who are still good at their hands." Han Dang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. "But they may not be willing to go to Liaoxi with us."

"It's human nature." Gongsun Xun still didn't care, he had been in the Xuan clan for more than three months, so he naturally knew these people, so he didn't feel anything to regret. "You go and ask, if those who wish to stay or don't want to stay, even if there are any difficulties, if you want to return to your hometown or even want to go to others, you can do it at will...... But are there any new arrivals whose names I don't know? ”

"Not really."

"It seems that talents are rare!" Gongsun Xun got up and shook his head. "In this case, you prepare here, and I'll go to find Brother Ziheng to talk......"

"That's right, Shaojun." Han Dang seemed to suddenly remember something, and then quickly stood up and shouted to the other party. "Since we're leaving, what about the person who is still locked up?"

"What locked up?" Gongsun Xun looked dazed. "Who did we lock up?"

In the afternoon, in the largest courtyard at the foot of the Mountain, on the edge of the bed in a cramped wing...... Gongsun Xun, Gongsun Yue, Lu Fan, and Han Dang were sitting or standing, but their faces were expressionless, and the 'master', who had lived here for nearly half a year, stood on the ground with a smile in a small hat and a sleeve.

"Brother Ziheng, what can I do if so?" Gongsun Xun had no choice but to ask for help from Lu Fan, the only 'scribe' here.

"Leave the rest alone." Lu Ziheng swallowed. "Brother Yigong is often on the side of Yishe, have you ever paid attention to the official documents of the imperial court in the past half a year, is there an amnesty?"

"You don't have to pay attention to the official documents." Han Dang said helplessly. "Two months ago, there was another amnesty, and a few people who had hid here went straight back to their hometowns......

"Can death row inmates be involved?"

"In this world, wouldn't it be forgiveness for nothing if you don't forgive death row prisoners?"

"In other words." Lu Fan pointed to the man in front of him. "We've been holding an innocent man here for two months? If this is released to publicize it, will Wenqi's reputation among Wanluo still be half a point? ”

"Out of the way!" The man dressed as a servant on the ground hurriedly waved his hand. "I've had a very happy time here for half a year, this place is worthy of being the place where Duke Lu lives for a long time, I can send books if I want to read, eat and drink as much as I want...... It's obviously a guest, so why talk about seizure? ”

"The key is that his family is a famous family in Nanyang, and he also raises the dead." Gongsun Yue gritted his teeth, and he didn't mean to communicate directly with the person below. "If it's the past, it's okay, we have Liu Shi and Lu Shi as backers, and there is no shortage of manpower, the Nanyang clan is also a famous clan, and the dead are also dead. But this time we are all leaving, only Brother Ziheng is here, and Master Lu is studying history in Dongguan...... What if you put it back and have a grudge, and then deliberately retaliate, burn the righteous house, and then wipe Brother Lu's neck? Can you still fly back from Liaoxi to save people? ”

"I will never hold a grudge!" This person was not too cold, and even knelt on the ground with a thud. "You must believe me, my Lou Zibo is willing to swear to the emperor and queen that I will never be an enemy of you in this life!"

Gongsun Xun frowned slightly.

"Brother, don't have the kindness of a woman!" Seeing this, Gongsun Yue couldn't help but remind.

"Wen Qi, more is better than less." Lu Fan also gritted his teeth and reminded. "The human heart is unpredictable!"

"Shaojun." Han Dang, who was standing on the edge of the couch, held the knife and suggested. "It's easy for me to say. It was here that he was tied up, and then put in a box and mended with a knife. When we crossed the Yellow River on the way back, we threw the box directly into the river, no matter what kind of famous people he is, what Nanyang heroes, the sky does not know the earth, and people do not notice the ghosts and do not know...... Isn't that the end of it? ”

"Brother Yi, this method is very wonderful!"

"Brother, let's do it!"

Lou Gui wanted to cry without tears, so he could only keep kowtowing...... You have to know, why was he so bold before that he dared to escape from death row? Because he knew that the official was reasonable after all, and it would not be good to catch him, a prisoner of the Nanyang clan, at most he would be thrown into death row; And he has been here for more than half a year, why doesn't he dare to run away? Because he also knows that the barbarians in the border areas here dare to kill him casually, if he really escapes and is discovered, then I am afraid that his family will have no place to find bones to cry in the grave of Qingming Festival!

Gongsun Xun touched the bamboo slips of the "Book of Han" on the couch, thought about it again and again, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, just follow what you say, go find a box...... If you want to be bigger, you can't wronged this Nanyang hero, don't forget to gag him! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lou Gui couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help crying on the spot: "In vain, my Uncle Lou Zi has had a strange ambition since he was a child, and now that his ambition is not rewarded, he is going to die in a wooden box in obscurity?" ”

Han Dang sneered, and took a step forward to grab the other party...... Unexpectedly, this Lou Gui suddenly relented, and actually hit Han Dang's chest, knocking the latter into a stumbling one, and then pulled his legs and ran.

None of the four people in the room moved, and in just a few breaths, Lou Gui was escorted in by two Liaoxi men with their arms twisted.

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head: "I see that he also has some courage, and he is good to take care of, give him two good meals, and it is not too late to tie him up and pack it before he travels!" ”

After that, he got up and walked past Lou Gui with a dull expression, and left directly.

In the next few days, Gongsun Xun cleaned up everywhere, went to Luo to give Lu Zhi, Liu Kuan and others a sincere resignation, and gave Fu Xie and others some paper books, and returned to the foot of Qishi Mountain to have a banquet for a group of free-range 'Shishan University' classmates...... In the end, he entrusted all the solemn affairs of this place and Yishe to Lu Fan, and then set off with Zhen Yi, who also decided to return to his hometown, and went all the way to Hebei.

When he came, he came from Wushejin, and when he left, he also walked from Wushejin, and when the fleet reached the middle of the Yellow River, seeing that Zhen Yi and Zhen Dayin's ship were ahead of him, Han Dang personally dragged out a large box from the cabin.

The box was opened, the silk silk in his mouth was removed, and Lou Gui, who was thrown on the bow of the boat, sighed quietly: "Is there also a sun in the hidden capital?" ”

"There is still the Yellow River in the hidden capital!" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, sneered, but he was looking down at a hand-copied paper "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram". "Lou Zibo, the Yellow River is at your feet, are you going to die or live?"

Han Dang came to the bow of the boat with the other party who was still tied hand and foot, as if he was waiting for Gongsun Xun's order.

"Why do you want to tease me again?" Lou Gui, who was being carried from behind, looked at the Yellow River under him and couldn't help but let out a long breath. "I have a strong ambition, even if I don't want to kill myself at the last moment, and you cherish my talents, if you don't kill me before, why kill me here? Besides, isn't it just to go with you to Liaoxi to make you feel at ease? Su Wu can shepherd sheep in Mobei for nineteen years without losing his ambition, can't I Lou Gui wait for seven or eight years in Liaoxi? Please let this Han Yigong put me down, my Uncle Lou's life is to make a career, and he will never joke with his life to escape! ”

"It's just a rhetoric, but why seven or eight years?" Gongsun Xun put away the book in his hand and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"The world is in turmoil, and even people like me know to gather outlaws for the future, let alone Gongsun Shaojun?" Lou Gui replied calmly. "And with your ability, in just seven or eight years, I'm afraid you can achieve a career, right? When the time comes, you will either no longer have to worry about me, or you will have to cherish me for your own use...... Anyway, I'm afraid I don't have to be a prisoner anymore, do I?! ”

Gongsun Xun immediately laughed: "When you arrive in Liaoxi, you don't need to be a prisoner, let's go to make an account...... Anyway, Brother Yi untied the rope on his body and strictly guarded him on the road. ”

Han Dang did as he said, but as soon as Lou Guifu lifted the ban, he no longer said anything grandiose, but couldn't help but rush to the side of the boat and pick up his robe for a small relief...... It's human nature. However, the wind and waves on the Yellow River were turbulent, and after this operation, he made his own hands full of filth.

"Shaojun is there anything to wipe his hands on the ship?" Lou Gui was embarrassed. "It's too far from the bottom of the boat to wash your hands......"

"What if you get to the other side and clean your hands?" Han Dang couldn't help but scold.

"It doesn't matter, after all, he is a famous scholar, and he wants to be faced." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing, and actually handed over the book in his hand.

"This is ......" Lou Gui only glanced at this object, then shook his head again and again, and finally wiped it directly on his clothes. It's the first time I've seen such a gorgeous paper book, and it's still a classic transcription, how can it be used to wipe away filth? I, Lou Zi Berning, can wipe it with clothes, and I can't stain this book......"

"Classic?" Gongsun Xun sneered when he heard this. "You don't have to throw it away!"

As he spoke, Gongsun Xun raised his hand and threw it to the side of the ferry, only to see the white paper book rising in the wind, and after a few spins, it finally fell straight into the surface of the Yellow River, and a wave came and simply sank to the bottom of the water.

Lou Gui couldn't snatch it, and was stunned: "Why is this so?" ”

"I'll tell you!" Gongsun Xun laughed in the wind. "I have been studying in Luoyang for more than a year, and I only understand one truth...... That is, this reading of the scriptures will not save the Han Dynasty! ”

At this point, Gongsun Xunfu beckoned Han Dang again: "Brother Yi helps, go to the cabin and tell Aunt Jin to help me get a set of narrow-sleeved robes that are easy to ride a horse, and then take a crown for martial artists...... Before in Henan, it was natural to dress up as a Confucian scholar, hold a scroll, and be careful; And this time when I returned to Hebei, my father-in-law Wenqi wanted to cross the knife immediately, and no longer look up to people! ”

Han Dang promised, but Lou Zibo leaned on the eaves of the boat and looked back, not knowing if he was looking at the whirlpool of sinking books on the river that was gradually moving away, or if he was looking at the hometown of Henan that was gradually moving away, as if he was ...... Deaf to deaf ears.

The poem says: Xinfeng wine fights ten thousand, how many years is the Xianyang ranger. The meeting spirit is the king's drink, and the horse is a high-rise weeping willow side.
