In this way, Hou Xiaoyong was driven away by Jin Hou.

Actually, Jin Hou and Hou Xiaoyong are the same age, but Jin Hou is not wrong about this. Jin Hou's father used to be a military candidate in Tao Qian's army, and his official position was neither high nor low, because, in the first battle of Xuzhou launched by Cao Cao, his father escaped with his life, and their father and son have been in the military camp since then, so Jin Hou grew up in the military camp since he was a child.

Next, the three of them rode horses and deliberately bypassed Liu Beijun's defensive camp, and under the leadership of Jin Hou, the three of them actually entered the territory of Xiapi without alarming any of Liu Beijun's soldiers at all.

In Liu Beijun, Jin Hou is still an unknown person, but Liu Ji has become a big man who everyone knows.

can be selected by Liu Bei and ready to be accepted as a righteous son, and is more likely to become Liu Beijun's successor, how can he be an ordinary person?

Jin Hou was worried that if the soldiers in charge of guarding the border saw Liu Ji, then it would be impossible to prevent Wang Xiu from knowing the whereabouts of the two of them. Only then did he find a way to take Liu Ji to deliberately bypass the defense.

A few days later, the three of Jin Hou urged their horses all the way and came to the north gate of Xiapi City very smoothly.

Along the way, especially in Xiapi County, the people were busy harvesting the crops in the field, and there was no sign of war in the territory.

At this moment, it was not too late to close the city gate after dark, but until now, the city gate of Xiapi City had not been closed.

Seeing that the car at the gate of Xiapi City was bustling, peaceful and prosperous, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

If the rebels have already occupied Xiapi City, they will inevitably close the city gates, which is basic common sense.

"Lord Overseer, Golden Tooth Gate, it seems that we have finally arrived back in time!" Relaxed, after all, he was still young, Liu Ji almost fell off the horse, Liu Ji's guards hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Ji, and said happily.

Although he still couldn't get used to what Jin Hou did, he also had his own family in Xiapi City, and he knew that if the Chen family rebels really occupied Xiapi City, Xuzhou would really be finished.

The Chen family may gain momentum for a while, and everyone in the family will be scattered throughout Xuzhou, but they will eventually become Cao Cao's vassals.

……

After a busy day, Yuan Lian, who was dizzy and dizzy, had just returned to the back office, ready to sit down to eat and take a breath.

During this time, the entire government affairs of Xuzhou were all pressed on him alone, not only to transport grain for the former army, but also to supervise the grain harvest of the Pi State, especially the grain harvest in those tuntian.

Fortunately, Yuan Jian is extremely good at these things, otherwise, he would have to tire him to death.

Unexpectedly, before dinner was served, the housekeeper reported the 'bad news'.

"What, there are only three people back from Liu Jianjun and Jin Hou, and there is an urgent matter to see me! What is their condition, none of them are injured! When Yuan Jian heard this, he immediately asked in astonishment.

As soon as he heard that only Jin Hou and the three of them came back, Yuan Jian subconsciously thought that Jin Hou, this kid, was blowing the air, and it didn't take long for him to send out his troops to fight a big defeat, and all the 1,000 people he led were defeated at once. That's why he added that sentence at the end.

"Report to the master, the villain specially asked about this. Listening to the officer, except for some blood stains on the clothes on Jin Hou's body, they didn't seem to be injured when they saw the three of them, but Liu Jigongzi's spirit was a little poor, and when he entered the mansion, he almost fell off his horse several times, and it seemed that he was in too much hurry and tired. It was still the Marquis of Jin who ordered someone to carry Liu Jigongzi into the yamen with a sliding rod, and each of them led three horses into the city. The housekeeper immediately reported in every detail.

After all, it was an old man who had been with Yuan Jian for a long time, and he knew what the master would ask, so he deliberately asked the official who reported the matter before he came in to report.

"Then why didn't the three of them come directly to the back office? Also, since Ki'er is tired, let him rest first! "Except for Liu Ji's guards, the other two are all children, and they are both credible people, it is said that if they have something, they should come directly to Houya to see him.

"Master Qiqi, Jin Hou said, he is in a hurry to come back, he wants to report an urgent military situation to you, after you listen to it, you have to go to the front office again to issue an order, it is too much time to come and go, and I don't mean to see you. And Liu Ji Gongzi also asked him to stay, and after seeing the master, he would go to rest. The butler hurriedly explained.

After listening to this, Yuan Jian nodded, stood up and ordered, "Then let's go!" They were in such a hurry to rush back all the way, they must not have eaten, so they asked the back kitchen to steam a pot of egg custard for Ji'er, and prepared some pork meat for Jin Hou and them, and after they were done, they served it directly to the front office. ”

After speaking, he took a quick step and walked briskly in the direction of the front office.

Egg custard is naturally a simple and delicious food invented by Jin Jue, first of course, it was used for Cai Wenji's body tonic at first, and later, when the fifth patrol was seriously ill, the food he was fed was also egg custard.

Therefore, egg custard has become the favorite delicacy of the elderly in the family, which has also made a strong trend of raising livestock, especially chickens and ducks, in the counties and counties controlled by Jin Jue now.

Egg custard, of course, is not only used with eggs, but also with duck eggs, goose eggs, and even pigeon's eggs, quail eggs, or other birds' eggs. It's just that eggs are easier to obtain.

Yuan Jian was worried that Liu Ji was tired and fell asleep without eating, or went to sleep after eating food that was not easy to digest, which might affect the child's physical development, or might cause a great burden on the child's stomach, so he ordered.

Yuan Jian didn't know Jin Hou, but he knew Liu Ji, although the two had known each other for a short time, but Yuan Jian knew that this child's temper was very similar to him, and he was an upright person, so he liked Liu Ji very much in his heart. Many people don't know that if Liu Bei hadn't mentioned accepting Liu Ji as his son, Yuan Jian would have already thought of recruiting Liu Ji as his son-in-law.

As soon as he stepped into the ground in the front office, Yuan Jian saw three people in different states.

The first one is Jin Hou, this kid is sitting in the center, holding his pot of tea that has already been cooled and drinking! Liu Ji was lying on the table next to him, and when he looked at him with his eyes, he knew that the child must be extremely tired.

Even the guards assigned to him by Liu Bei sat behind Liu Ji, leaning against the wall, as if he had fallen asleep.
