The business wind is sorrowful, and the autumn rain is continuous.

Han Yuan got Jiang Feng's guidance, and with a few entourages, he planned to visit 'Mr. Rumu' - Zhu Yifeng in Dongning Mansion.

Before leaving, Han Yuan wanted to prepare some expensive meeting gifts, but Jiang Feng persuaded him to dispel this thought. Jiang Feng knows Zhu Yifeng, this person is tall and arrogant, and what he hates most in his life is the style of gift-giving. At the beginning, he was embarrassed by his boss because he refused to bribe his boss, so he resigned in anger and went into hiding.

Mr. Zhu lives in a large mountain village in Ku County, Jingyang County, Dongning Prefecture, where the terrain is very high and the roads are rugged, making it difficult for cars and horses to travel.

Han Yuan's visit to Zhu Yifeng this time was done in secret, so the surrounding magistrates didn't know that he was coming, so no one came to greet him.

Han Won and his entourage all wore regular clothes, dressed as ordinary gentry. Han Won looks like a rich boy, and others look like his servants.

Because of the rain for days and the muddy roads, everyone delayed for several nights in the mountain village before they walked to the mountain village where Mr. Zhu was. Coincidentally, after everyone arrived at their destination, the weather was also rare and clear.

The crowd walked and stopped to watch.

The scenery on this mountain is really quiet, and the mountains are continuous, like a long dragon swimming; The mist is rising, and it looks like the realm of immortals. In the course of walking, there are countless white cranes on their heads, green pines everywhere, and dozens of thatched huts are faintly dotted not far away, thinking that it is the hermitage of Mr. Zhu.

"Master Hou, do you want the villain to explore the way first?" An attendant bowed his head.

"No, Ben Hou's personal visit is sincere. By the way, you are not allowed to call me Hou Ye later, call me Gongzi. Han Yuan opened the folding fan and fanned it in a pretentious manner, while whispering.

"Yes, Childe." Several of the retinue commanded.

These entourages are all old brothers selected by Han Won from the personal guard camp, and there is no need to doubt their loyalty, Han Won is very relieved of them.

Everyone walked towards the mountain village, and there were a few elderly old men sitting in front of the tree stump at the entrance of the village, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Han Yuan and others coming.

"Where are the guests from?" An old man asked tentatively.

Han Yuan made a gesture and said politely: "Old man, we are scholars from Ku County, and I heard that there is a gentleman surnamed Zhu who lives in seclusion here and came to visit. ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately became vigilant, shook his head and said, "We don't have the surname Zhu here, I'm afraid you have gone to the wrong place." ”

The other old men also said loudly: "There has not been a literate person in our village for hundreds of years, and you scholars have come here to do something." ”

Han Yuan naturally didn't believe it, took out two silver ingots from his sleeve and quietly stuffed them to the old man, and said softly: "Don't misunderstand, old man, we are all good people." ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, threw the silver ingot on the ground, and scolded, "If I say no, there will be no money, and you will not give me any money." ”

Han Yuan thought that the other party was too little, and he had to pay for the silver, but several old men couldn't help but say that they wanted to drive everyone away.

"Get out, get as far as possible, or my son will break your dog's leg when he comes." The old men cursed loudly.

"Childe, do you want to find someone to teach these people a lesson?" An attendant said coldly.

Han Yuan waved his hand, stopped him, sighed and said, "Use your brain, if you beat these old men, then Mr. Zhu is afraid that he will not move." ”

"What does that Childe mean?" The entourage was puzzled.

"Since the old man can't talk, let's set up a child, the child is greedy, which of you has something to eat?"

"The villain has some honey osmanthus cake on him."

"That's right, let's go, let's trick the kids."

The crowd crept into the village, bypassed the bamboo hut, and saw a few young children playing spinning tops in the clearing.

"A few little brothers, would I like to ask you something?" Han Won smiled as he walked up to them, as kind as he could.

"Huh? Who are you and what are you doing in our village? A boy with braided hair asked suspiciously.

Another boy said, "Are you here to find Mr. Zhu?" My father said, those who are looking for Mr. Zhu are all bad people, you are all bad people, I want to tell my father. ”

"Eh, what did the little brother say, do you think we look like bad people?" Han Yuan said as he took out a few bags of osmanthus cakes from his arms.

"Ah, osmanthus cake!" A boy sniffed and was pleasantly surprised.

When the other boys heard this, they came forward one after another, gobbling up the bags of osmanthus cakes given by Han Won.

"Anything else? Anything else? After a few boys finished eating, it was not enough, so they asked Han Won.

Han Won's plan succeeded, and said with a smile: "You answer me a few questions first, and if you answer satisfactorily, I will give it to you." ”

The children all nodded desperately.

In this way, Han Won learned from several children where Zhu Yifeng lived.

According to the direction pointed by the children, Han Won and the others walked around the village and came to a hillside. The hillside is full of verdant bamboo, deep and quiet.

When everyone entered the bamboo forest, they felt that the sun was warm and the birds were singing, and everyone's mood couldn't help but feel comfortable.

Everyone walked for a long time, and suddenly a small courtyard appeared in front of them. As everyone got closer and closer, the sound of children reading aloud wafted from the courtyard.

Han Won walked to the door, held the door knocker, and knocked lightly, and the sound of reading inside suddenly stopped.

The door slowly opened, and a man in his thirties appeared in front of Han won.

This man was seven feet tall, with a clear face, a bundled head, a pale blue straight body, and a pair of step shoes, like an ordinary teacher, and could not see anything unusual about ordinary people.

Han Yuan didn't know who he was, so he waved and asked politely, "Is Mr. Zhu at home?" ”

The man was stunned, and said lightly: "I am Zhu Yifeng, who is Your Excellency?" ”

Han Yuan was taken aback, and sure enough, he couldn't look good, and hurriedly said: "Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, I don't recognize Mr. I don't hide it, I was entrusted by someone to ask Mr. to go out of the mountain, and the people of Jisi were in fire and water, and the souls were saved in the upside down. ”

When Zhu Yifeng heard this, his face changed, his attitude changed sharply, and he said coldly: "I am a teaching gentleman, how can he be virtuous, and he is worthy of being recruited by princes from all walks of life." ”

Then he will close the door.

Han Yuan hurriedly said: "Mr. has not asked about the world for more than ten years, can you know what the general trend of the world has reached?" ”

"The trend of the world is not too much of a combination, and there is no shortage of Zhu Yifeng around the princes."

"That's a mistake! Sir, you are a well-educated person, I believe that in Mr.'s heart, there was once the ideal of helping the world and serving the country, but the world is difficult and the people's hearts are not ancient, which makes Mr. Talent's learning empty. ”

Han Yuan said as he opened the door and walked in, but Zhu Yifeng couldn't stop him.

"Mr. Zhu, it's won below, have you heard my name?" Han Won said frankly.

"Won? This name, a little heard. By the way, I heard that you once beheaded the leader of the Western Thieves. Zhu Yifeng's words are very natural.

Han Yuan couldn't help but have a big head, now the entire Chuzhou is his own, and there are still people who don't know him.

"Sir, Yuan has many things that I would like to discuss with you in detail, you see, can you ......?"

Zhu Yifeng saw that he was sincere, and it was really difficult to drive him out, so he sighed and said to the dozen or so students in the courtyard: "That's all for today's class, you guys go home first." ”

The students received his permission and left the courtyard happily.

Han Won got his wish and finally met the famous Mr. Zhu.
