Chapter 9, Arriving in Youzhou.

The next day, it was dark.

Xun Jiang was already dressed and stood in the room, looking at the staggered "ladies" sleeping in the room, he suddenly felt a little reluctant.

But coming from people who are from modern times like him is a hope that Xun Jiang has no way to give up. The reason why he called Xun Shuang and Mrs. Wang like this is also because he has never integrated into this strange Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Alas..." Xun Jiang sighed, walked out of the house lightly, and gently closed the door.

In the courtyard, Dian Wei and Jiang Yi to Jiang Shi were already ready to go, and everyone was wearing a black battle armor, which was very similar to the Eastern Han Dynasty battle armor.

"Let's go!"

Xun Jiang didn't alarm anyone, so he took Dian Wei and Jiang Yi and them out of Yingchuan County and headed towards Youzhou.

………………………………………………

Youzhou has jurisdiction over counties, eleven countries, and ninety counties, yi, and hou countries. Youzhou is located in Ji County.

Youzhou is the border of the Han Dynasty, bordering more than a dozen Saiwai dynasties, and is in war all year round. Especially now it is even worse, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Saiwai Dynasty saw that the Han Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and almost every dynasty led an army into Youzhou to loot food, weapons, women, and everything worth plundering.

A thatched house.

"Eun Gong drink water." An old man trembled and filled Xunjiang with tea.

"Thank you." Xun Jiang took the tea and thanked with a smile.

The old man's surname is Wei, and he is a very simple farmer. The wife was lost in the escape of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, leaving only one daughter to rely on for her life. Dian Wei and Jiang Yi had just saved the lives of the old man and his daughter from the swords of a group of soldiers outside the Saiwai.

"Poof!"

After pouring the water, the old man suddenly knelt down towards Xunjiang.

"Uncle, what are you doing here? Hurry up, how can I stand it! Xun Jiang hurriedly avoided the direction of the old man's kneeling and helped the old man up from the side.

"If it weren't for your kindness to save you today, the lives of the old man and the little girl would have been folded at the hands of those beasts. Grace is up, it's up! The old man stood up tremblingly, and said with gratitude on his face.

"Where do you say, it's just a matter of drawing a knife to help when you see injustice!" Xun Jiang shook his head and said, along the way, Xun Jiang let Dian Wei and Jiang Yi save a lot of people.

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! The old man didn't say anything good, but he thanked him vigorously.

"Uncle, I can't live here, do you still have relatives? Those soldiers from outside the Cypriots will definitely come back! Xun Jiang suggested to the old man.

In the entire Youzhou, only Shanggu County is the most serious, and there is almost no ability to resist in a county except for the county town, and the entire county is crushed by the iron cavalry of the soldiers outside the county unscrupulously.

"The old man can't go yet..."Wang Laohan shook his head directly.

"Why? If you don't leave, the next time the cavalry comes back, it will definitely be more than lucky! Xun Jiang asked with some confusion.

"Adults, eat some gruel." The old man's daughter came over with porridge and whispered to Xun Jiang.

"Thank you." Xun Jiang took the gruel, and there seemed to be yellow soil in the porridge, which was almost worlds different from the big fish and meat in the past.

The old man's daughter stroked the hanging green silk, revealing a fairly delicate face.

"Your Excellency is gracious." She bowed to Xun Jiangfu and whispered, but she also looked a little bit like a lady.

Xun Jiang smiled at the old man's daughter, her face was slightly red, and she continued to serve porridge to Dian Wei.

"Has your daughter ever read?" Xun Jiang asked.

"Where did I study, Xiuxiu used to be a maid in a big family in the county town. Xiuxiu has been very smart since she was a child, and she has also learned some etiquette. The old man said with some pride.

"Daddy, I'm going to do your laundry." The old man's daughter, who is Xiuxiu, said to the old man after distributing the porridge to everyone, and then went into the house to wash the old man's clothes after bowing to Xun Jiang.

"Your daughter is very filial." Xun Jiang smiled and said.

"Of course, Xiuxiu is notoriously virtuous within a radius of thirty miles. The matchmakers who came to the door to propose relatives before were about to smash the threshold! Speaking of his daughter, the old man's face was full of ravine and full of proud smiles. It's a pity that the Yellow Turban Rebellion ruined everything, and now his daughter is now in her twenties, and she still hasn't married.

The old man's proud appearance reminded Xun Jiang of his past life. That majestic face used to smile at him when he was admitted to college.

But after being admitted to university, Xun Jiang seemed to be a different person. He became obsessed with the game, and his studies plummeted, and that smile didn't appear to him again for four years. Four years later, he was here, and he may never see it again in this life.

"You should have moved away for the sake of your daughter. Those brutes do all kinds of evil! Xun Jiang persuaded again.

"Alas......" The smile on the old man's face disappeared, and he suddenly sighed. There seemed to be something unspeakable, but in the end he shook his head.

Xun Jiang didn't say anything more, and drank the porridge silently. Dian Wei had already finished drinking it in one gulp, and was now sleeping on the ground with a dry and hard dough and nibbling on it.

"Engong, the old man has something that he wants to trouble you..."The old man hesitated for a moment, and said to Xun Jiang with a pleading face on his face.

"Please." Xun Jiang put down the porridge.

"I wonder if Engong can take the little girl with him?" The old man's cloudy eyes looked at Xiuxiu, who was washing his clothes, and his eyes were full of reluctance, but he still said it.

"Why?" Xun Jiang asked suspiciously, there was still someone who wanted his daughter to go with a stranger.

"The old man is reluctant to leave here, but Xiuxiu is innocent. I also asked Engong to take Xiuxiu's child out of here, Xiuxiu didn't have any other skills, but it was okay to wash and cook for Engong. The old man whispered, as if he didn't want his daughter to hear it.

Xun Jiang didn't understand why the old man was so stubborn, there was only a dilapidated thatched house left here, did he have to throw his life here?

"I'll be walking around Youzhou next, and it's not safe for your daughter to follow me. It's best for you to go to Zhuojun! "Xun Jiang has no way to take a woman with him now, Jiang Yi and they have more than enough to protect themselves. It's good that Dian Wei protects him alone, but adding another one will limit his play.

The old man thought that Xun Jiang was making excuses, nodded a little disappointedly, and didn't say anything more.

"It's getting dark, so let's rest here for the night!" After a while, the old man looked at the sky and said to Xun Jiang.

"Thank you!" Xun Jiang was also a little tired.

"Xiuxiu has already cleaned up the bed, but the home is so narrow that I'm afraid there is no way for everyone to ......" Xiuxiu, who was washing clothes, suddenly raised her head and said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay! Just let Big Brother live, and we'll sleep here! Dian Wei said with a grin, it didn't matter where he slept.

"I'll sleep out here, too." Xun Jiang shook his head and said, this room has only two separate rooms. Naturally, their father and daughter are in one room, and no matter which room he goes to sleep in, he will definitely occupy a place for one person. And he didn't want to be a master and servant with Dian Wei and them, and it was not good for him to sleep alone in a room and let Dian Wei and them sleep on the grass.

"Childe, how can you be physically honorable..."
