Section 8 Visiting the Frustrated

After we went to the inn to rest and inquired about the situation, I was very upset by the news we received.

It turned out that Fu Zhu had accepted the conscription of Han Fu, the Taishou of Jizhou (a superior official recruited subordinates to be officials), and came forward to serve as the Sima of Jizhou's other departments.

"Are you late?" I was secretly anxious.

Seeing me pacing in a disordered mood at the inn, Guan Ning suggested: "Lord, why don't we visit this person now?" After a pause, he added, "I want to see how this man has made my lord anxious." ”

I thought about it, it's better that we can leave as soon as possible, and we can still see them off in time. I beckoned to Guan Hai, instructed him to settle his luggage, and took Guan Ning Tianchou out of the inn by himself.

In the frustrated mansion, the congratulatory guests were full, Guan Ning ignored the carriages and horses in front of the door, walked proudly to the door, and said to the servant at the door: "Inform me, Beihai Guan Ning is visiting." ”

When the guests around the door heard Guan Ning's name, they immediately let out a cry of surprise, and from these cries, the servants also understood that this person at the door was very famous, and immediately reported it in a panic.

Then, a whisper began from the door, spread into the house, like a stone thrown into the water, ripples gradually spread, as for the guests at the door, hearing the name of the great Confucian Guan Ning of Beihai, they have hurriedly made a way, Tian Chou and I saw this, and immediately took a step back to show the courtesy of everyone, leaving only Guan Ning standing proudly at the door.

After a while, Fu Zhu hurriedly came out with the greeting guests. Standing on the steps, he bowed to Guan Ning deeply, and said respectfully: "Daxian is here, I live in Pengbi, and Mr. Wang will give him a lesson." ”

Guan Ning immediately showed a frenzied celebrity demeanor, and only nodded slightly, indicating that he returned the salute. On the contrary, he was flattered and hurriedly returned the salute again.

I didn't expect Guan Ning to be so famous, so much so that I was amazed.

However, Guan Ning's next move surprised me even more. I saw him immediately take two steps back and stand sideways. Immediately after, Tian Chou immediately took three steps back, slightly behind Guan Ning, and stood sideways behind him.

Why Tian Chou stepped back and stood sideways, I know. This means that he does not dare to receive this great gift with Guan Ning. But why Guan Ning retreated is so unpredictable that I can't figure it out. In this way, I became the one who stood at the front and accepted the other party's big gifts, which is not okay. I hurriedly took a few steps back, hoping to retreat behind Guan Ning, but I didn't expect Guan Ning to immediately retreat with Tian Chou in broken steps, still behind me.

I immediately stopped and did not retreat, and a few people in the courtyard retreated back and forth, and it would not be funny to retreat again.

Suddenly, I understood that when Guan Ning returned to Zhuo County with me, he said that he wanted to be by my side and "open his eyes" for me, and now, Guan Ning and Tian Chou are doing something to show my identity as the lord and raise my status and prestige.

With that in mind, I don't think I'm going to be overly arrogant. So I turned sideways slightly, let go of their etiquette, and gestured to Guan Ningtian.

Frustrated, he turned to face me, and bowed again, saying, "Who is the gentleman?" ”

I smiled and returned the salute: "Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the savages of Zhuo County, specially escorted Guan Xianren to visit Brother Fu here today."

Frustrated, he saluted again and said: "Could it be that after King Jing of Zhongshan, the former Youzhou soldier Cao was engaged in chasing the Xianbei thief Kou Qianli on a single horse, and led his troops to Guanzi City to rescue Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Gongsun Zhan?" ”

This time it was my turn to be surprised, when did I pursue the Xianbei thieves alone, did my head call a bee sting and swell, dare to do such a reckless thing. Besides, the rescue of Gongsun Chan was only four months ago, and in this era when communication is not developed and information relies on word of mouth, it is impossible for everyone to know everything, right?

I asked suspiciously: "Bei is after King Jing of Zhongshan, the former Youzhou soldier Cao is engaged, however, Bei has never pursued the Xianbei thief Kou Qianli alone." Oh, maybe I once pursued the Xianbei thieves, but there were still 200 soldiers around me at that time, and this was also the result of the hard work of those soldiers, so I didn't dare to be greedy for everyone's merit as my own merit. ”

In this era, how can there be such a person who speaks for a low-status soldier, and the credit of his subordinates is not the credit of the leader, and the credit of the leader is not the credit of the "leader's leadership". What are the subordinates, and does Ma Tsai need any credit?

In the astonishment of others, Tian Chou stepped forward and covered up: "My lord is also benevolent, and those under him will be rewarded for their merits, and if they have done so, they can't bear to be punished, how can they compete with their subordinates?" Therefore, when you talk about the pursuit of the Xianbei thieves in the future, you must explain to our lord that there are still 200 soldiers who are trying to kill the thieves. ”

As soon as Tian Chou said this, Guan Ning immediately nodded and said yes: "Exactly, in the future, you must explain this matter for my father-in-law." ”

Seeing that Guan Ning, a great sage, also called me "Lord Gong", everyone immediately showed a shocked expression. Salute me again, and respectfully invite us into the hall.

Sitting in the hall, everyone introduced each other. I began to look closely, with a large forehead, fat lips, and a large garlic nose, and although my eyes showed a shrewd gaze from time to time, I didn't look like a handsome man.

I laughed dumbly - with this ordinary appearance, it is no wonder that it is not reused in the hands of Yuan Shao, who judges people by their appearance.

After introducing everyone, he took his hand and said: "This is Julutian Toyota Fu Hao, he and I were jointly recruited by Jizhou Mu Hanfu and are preparing to take office. ”

Tian Feng is the strategist Tian Feng who was imprisoned by Yuan Shao because he advised Yuan Shao not to defeat Cao Cao. This person is the chief strategist of Yuan Shao as Fu Zhu, and it is said that he is no less knowledgeable than Fu Zhu. Before the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao predicted that Yuan Shao would be defeated, and when Yuan Shao was defeated, the prison officials congratulated Tian Feng one after another, saying that "Mr. is very prescient, and Yuan Gong will definitely be reused when he returns."

Tian Feng said calmly: "No, no, no, I know Yuan Gong too well, he is tolerant on the surface, but suspicious in his heart, if this battle is won, Yuan Gong will be happy for a while, of course, he will not blame the past, amnesty the world, and hope to save his life." Now that he has failed, Yuan Gong will only be more angry under his shame, which will lead to anger towards others. Please tell my family to make a sarcophagus for me as soon as possible, and be ready to collect the body at any time. I don't think I'll survive today. ”

Sure enough, the first order Yuan Shao gave after returning home was to execute Tian Feng.

Tian Feng can anticipate things and know people, which is also a great talent.

I felt a rush in my heart – unfortunately, I was too late.

Can kidnapping be committed? I looked around and nodded, with the skill of my guards, it would not be a problem to kidnap them on their way to duty.

But after thinking about it, no, two big living people, they can't be hidden, unless they don't appear in the future with their own names and surnames, otherwise, with their identity as court officials who have been recruited, kidnapping is a big crime, once it is leaked, I may die before I can get out of the school.

Is abduction considered? But now Liu Bei, who has no official position, has nothing to tempt them, not to mention that these two people are still tough guys who can't be lewd and can't be moved by the rich, and the poor can't be moved, so it seems that intimidation is useless.

Alas, it really hurts me to start late.

Well, I'll make a good impression today, and I'll think about it later.
