All the way to the west, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Zhang Liao's face was getting more and more ugly, and when he arrived in Xie County, it was almost dusk, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Liao did not enter the city, but stopped a passer-by and asked, "This brother, dare to ask Chang Pingli how to go?" ”

The man pointed in one direction and said, "About five or six miles to the west." ”

Zhang Liao ordered Qiu Xing to go to the county government with two scholars, and he took Guo Jia and Zhu Ping to continue west.

When he saw the situation of the fields in Xie County, he had some opinions about the county order in this place, and did not go directly to the county government, but first went to another place on this trip, the home of the second brother Guan Yu.

As far as he knew, Guan Yu had been away from home for seven or eight years, and when he was in Luoyang, he also mentioned that he wanted to go back to Hedong to have a look, but the Kwantung princes were defeated, and Guan Yu's wish might not be fulfilled.

Zhang Liao has been the Taishou of Hedong, and he has already planned to come over to visit, but he was busy some time ago, and it was not until this time that Weifu visited Xie County privately, so he could take care of both public and private affairs.

When they arrived in Changping, they asked a few more people, and they found a small mansion, with no words on the door and a wooden door that was quite old.

Zhang Liao knocked on the door, and it took a while for footsteps to come from inside.

"Who's out there?" A young voice asked through the door.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this voice seemed to be full of vigilance, and he said in a harmonious voice: "In Xia Zhang Liao, it is Guan Yunchang's righteous brother, come to visit." ”

"Guan Yunchang?" The voice of the person inside was surprised: "Your Excellency, is it a mistake?" There is no such person as Yun Chang in the family. ”

Finding the wrong one?

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then the thought flashed in his mind, and he smiled: "Guan Yunchang, it is Guan Changsheng." ”

Bang!

The door opened suddenly, and a young man poked his head out and said urgently: "Your Excellency recognizes Guan Changsheng?" ”

Zhang Liao looked at the young man in front of him through the color of the snow, about thirteen or fourteen years old, but there was no childishness on his face at a young age, his hands and feet were thick, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were full of determination.

However, at this time, the young man's expression was full of excitement and a little vigilant.

From his face, Zhang Liao saw the traces of Guan Yu, and couldn't help but smile: "Could it be Guan Pingxian's nephew?" ”

"Do you really know your father? But where is he? ”

The young man was indeed Guan Ping, but at this time, he suddenly heard the news from his father, and his face was quite surprised and anxious.

"Exactly." Zhang Liao laughed.

Guan Ping was not gullible, and asked again: "But I don't know what my father looks like now?" ”

Zhang Liao couldn't help but secretly praise, the tiger father has no dogs, although this Guan Ping is young, he has a little wit, and immediately said: "Nine feet tall, Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows ......"

Zhang Liao only said two words, Guan Ping's expression became excited, and he hurriedly said: "If it's really my father, please come in!" ”

As soon as he entered the door with Zhang Liao and a few others, he shouted loudly: "Mother! Mother! ”

Soon, a woman of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, accompanied by a servant woman, greeted her, and saw Guan Ping followed by three people, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "Ping'er, this is ......"

Guan Ping's face turned red, and he said excitedly: "Mother, several distinguished guests are friends of my father, and one seems to be my uncle......"

Zhang Liao took two steps forward and saluted: "Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan has seen his sister-in-law. ”

When the woman heard this, her body was shocked, and her eyes showed disbelief, so she hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Your Excellency recognizes...... Recognize the clumsy husband? ”

Zhang Liao nodded: "The younger brother and Changsheng are brothers. ”

The woman's expression was even more excited: "Dare to ask the clumsy husband where he is?" Have you ever been back? ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "It's difficult for the second brother to come back when he's away, but the younger brother is now passing by Xie County and has come to visit." ”

The woman's eyes couldn't help showing disappointment, and then she hurriedly said, "In this case, please come to the hall and sit down." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, but call me Wen Yuan." ”

The woman said, "The concubine's surname is Hu." ”

When Zhang Liao looked at her, he knew that she was still a little suspicious, but her trip was indeed a little abrupt, and it was getting dark now, so it was not appropriate to stay in the house.

He groaned and said, "Sister-in-law, my younger brother just came in a hurry today, and it was getting late, so I won't enter the house, and I will visit tomorrow." ”

As soon as he said this, Hu Shi was more than half suspicious, and hurriedly said: "It's so snowy and cold, and it's dark, how can you let Wen Yuan leave, if the clumsy husband knows, he will definitely scold the concubine." ”

She didn't wait for Zhang Liao to speak, so she looked at the servant woman beside her: "Sister-in-law Li, go and clean up the West House and leave the guests to rest at night." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Liao was not easy to go.

When they arrived at the hall, Hu asked Guan Ping to drink, and asked Guan Yu about some of the situation, and cried several times.

Zhang Liao asked about Guan Yu's parents, and Hu said about the suffering of these years. Guan Yu, who was just in his twenties at the time, killed the township bully Lu Xiong and fled away, and Guan Ping was only four years old at the time. It's just that the Lu family somehow colluded with the county order and bullied the Guan family several times. Guan Yu's parents were worried about their son, and they couldn't bear to bully me, and the second elder died of depression, leaving Hu to take care of their young son.

Fortunately, Hu's mother's family was quite famous in the township, and the county order was changed soon after, so she and her son barely survived.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help sighing, and immediately went to worship the spiritual position of Guan Yu's parents.

Hu saw that Zhang Liao respected Guan Yu's parents so much, so he got a lot closer, and Zhang Liao was able to speak well, after a few words, Hu regarded Zhang Liao as a brother.

And Guan Ping also called out his uncle, and when he heard Zhang Liao talk about his father's bravery, he was even more excited, like a big child.

Not long after, another person came, but it was Hu Ming, the elder brother of the Hu family.

Zhang Liao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with the Hu brother here, the three of them would not be suspected of being under the melon field when they stayed, obviously the Hu family also thought about it, so he secretly called the brother.

After drinking and eating, he sent the excited Guan Ping to sleep, and Hu Ming also arranged for Zhang Liao and the three of them to rest in the West House.

Zhang Liao did not sleep, but talked with Guo Jia about some of the things he had seen and thought since the private visit.

At this time, they suddenly heard a knocking sound outside the courtyard gate, there was Hu Ming, it was inconvenient for them to go out to ask, but they didn't expect the sound outside to get louder and louder.

Zhang Liao immediately asked Zhu Ping to protect Guo Jia, and he carried the Zhongxing sword out of the house.

……

Under the night snow, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and more than 20 people rushed in, led by a fat man with a big belly and a fat face, and the more than 20 people were obviously family guards, all armed with wooden sticks, guns and spears.

Hu Ming fell to the ground, with an extra slap on his face, and was being helped up by Guan Ping.

Hu Shi glared at the fat man: "Lu Yi, how dare you break into the house at night!" ”

"Breaking into a house at night?" The fat man looked at Hu Shi and laughed: "Guan Yu killed my brother back then, and today I will take his wife and kill his son to avenge my revenge!" In the past, Hu Lao'er protected your mother and son, but now Hu Lao'er is dead, the Hu family is in decline, and I, Lu Yi, have done it again, see who else can protect you! ”

Guan Ping held a wooden stick in his hand and stood up and shouted: "Guan Ping is here, see who dares to come!" (To be continued.) )
