Chapter 326: Zheng Xuan's disciples
Walking and stopping with Zhang Fei, turning into a few alleys from time to time along the way, or detouring or stopping to see if anyone was following, and getting lost twice during the period, Liu Zheng followed his memory to find the house mentioned in Xun Cai's letter, it was already dark.
"Big brother, it doesn't look like it...... The second brother's horse is not there either. β
Zhang Fei jumped off the horse, looked around, and then looked at the closed gate of the house, a little puzzled.
The location here is remote, and there are no pedestrians along the way, but it is such an environment, Wen Chou and the others are unlikely to relax their vigilance, and now that they have arrived at the door, no one has come out to see the situation, which is really a bit abnormal.
"Xu is inside."
Liu Zheng replied, also jumped off the horse, walked to the door, and when he raised his hand to press the gate, he found that the wooden door was empty, and hurriedly shouted: "Is there anyone?" β
He shouted twice, but no one responded, Zhang Fei came over with a snake spear, and handed him the overlord gun, and also shouted twice, probably worried about Cai Qian's safety, and his tone became a little nervous, "Big brother, what is wrong?" β
"Don't worry. Qingyun, there is something to remind me. β
Liu Zheng patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, shouted at Qingyun, and then pushed the door in.
As the door opened, a faint light lit up in a house deep in the courtyard.
The courtyard of this house is quite large, the outline of the rockery flower bed in the dark is full of shadows, and I don't know if it was the courtyard of a wealthy family before, all the way in, passing by a few houses with doors and windows open, there is no smell in the air that will make people feel bad, but there is a faint fragrance of ink, Liu Zheng and the two shouted a few times, "But is there anyone?" Seeing that no one responded, he simply walked vigilantly all the way to the lighted room.
When I got closer, there was a snoring sound and a human voice from inside the house.
ββ¦β¦ No, no, Brother Gongyou's words are unreasonable. Tread on...... If he is cut off by an arm, he has a life-and-death enmity with my Han, and he will definitely go south, and he can't stop it...... To do absolutely, must do absolutely! Kill them all, just hap, hiccup...... Only then can there be ...... Peace to the people! β
"Hongyu, don't talk about it yet...... Sun really heard that there was, someone was telling me to wait...... Xu is Liu Gongzi's person, you go and take a look......"
"Fengzheng, Fengzheng...... Gongsun Fengzheng! You, you wake up, go outside and see...... I talked to my brother, ......"
"Huh? Not...... Don't make noise with me, I'm drinking too much, I'll talk to Zhou Gongshou for a few games......"
There was still a snoring sound in the squirming conversation, and it was determined that there should be only four people inside, three of whom were talking one by one, with their tongues wide open, obviously drunk, Zhang Fei said softly: "Big brother, it seems to be the disciple of the Zheng family?" β
"Something like, that is."
Liu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, they had been worried since they entered the door, but he didn't expect these people to eat and drink well here, he thought about it, took a few steps back with Zhang Fei, and shouted: "Forgive me for offending, is there anyone here?" β
The sound of a porcelain bowl falling to the ground sounded in the room, and the window immediately opened with a "bang", and a man spoke, "Who...... Yes! After a short exclamation, the man who opened the window fell on his stomach on the window and slid out.
In the faint light, the man's face was facing the ground, his feet still hanging from the window, and the hem of his sloop slid down to his thighs, revealing the shin clothes on his two calves.
The man said "painful ......and painful", as if he had lost his sense of alcohol this time, as his feet struggled to land, his two hands continued to pull the hem of the hem to cover his ugliness, and then looked up and said: "Sun is rude, rude......" A face was full of mud and dust, and there were abrasions, and the nostrils were still bleeding at this time, and the appearance was really funny to the extreme.
There were a few gloating laughter in the house, and when Liu Zheng and Zhang Fei went over to help the man, a young man appeared at the window staggeringly, looked at Liu Zheng and Zhang Fei, and waved his hand at the window, "There are friends, there are friends from afar, it won't be like this...... Brother Gongyou, you and I should ...... Drink, these two, continue to drink together......" With a wave of his hand, the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".
"What people!" As soon as the snoring in the house stopped, a loud shout suddenly sounded, which made Liu Zheng, who was a little at a loss, finally put his mind at ease, and while helping the man who fell not lightly with Zhang Fei, he shouted angrily: "Wen Chou, what's the matter?" β
In the middle of the words, a sentence came from the house: "Drop the cup? Assassin! β
Then there was a sudden sound of the case falling to the ground in the room, and the young man at the window shook his head back and forth, exclaiming "Assassin, where is the assassin ......", accompanied by the sound of the blade coming out of the sheath, the door suddenly opened, and Wen Chou's burly figure rushed out, shouting: "Brother Gongyou, this is ...... in a certain family"
Before the words were finished, with a "bang", Wen Chou tripped over the hem of the sloop, and even fell to the ground with a knife, screamed a few times, and hurriedly held the knife and rolled a few times to get up.
"Wen Chou, that's how you do things? Zhang is wrong about you! β
In the faint light, Zhang Fei's suppressed and angry voice sounded, Wen Chou raised his head violently, and said in surprise: "Gongzi Liu, Brother Yide!" β
"Liu Gongzi? Deran? I, my grandson, my grandson, my grandson, my grandson In the past, you and I have met, and I have your brothers, Liu and Liu Xuande...... And there are dealings, do you know? No, thou shalt know...... Sun is polite and polite. β
The man who fell out was Sun Gan, but his words seemed to be orderly, but the whole person was still shaky. He raised his hands and wanted to give them up, and in the movement of bending over, there was a tendency to fall headlong again.
Liu Zheng hurriedly stabilized, and Zhang Fei helped him to walk towards Wen Chou, Wen Chou welcomed the three of them in with an embarrassed face, and heard a window "Brother Gongyou, you, where are you going?" Wait...... Yes! Turning his head, he saw that the young man had disappeared from the window, except for his two feet hanging on the window frame, still moving.
"Hehe, the two of you put Brother Gongyou on the mat, Brother Hongyu, I'll come, I'll ......" Wen Chou looked embarrassed, and hurriedly ran out of the door, and when Liu Zheng and Zhang Fei put their mouths still in their mouths, they said to the Zhangba snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand, "Deran, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, I never thought of coming this time, you are very different from before." Tsk, now this face, why does it look like a snake......" After Sun Qian put it on the mat, Wen Chou also came back with the young man who chased him out.
"Liu Gongzi, this matter is really ...... Ha ha. A few ladies have already been brought over by Guozini to stay with Xun Gongzi, Brother Yun came over at noon, I took him to go again, a few ladies know that you are in a good mood when you enter the city. But knowing that you went to see Liu Bei, Xun Gongzi was also quite surprised, and I also heard that he would arrange someone to pick you up, so I asked Sun Gongyou to ...... Haha, I didn't expect you to find this side anyway......"
He threw the young man on the mat and pointed out them one by one: "Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, Xi Hongyu, it is Gongsun Fang Gongsun Fengzheng who is asleep." Also got up...... Sleep yours! β
He kicked Sun Gan, who wanted to get up, and didn't care about Sun Gan and said, "Brother Zisheng, my face hurts ......", shook his head and smiled bitterly: "A group of alcoholic idiots, why don't you drink all kinds of nonsense." You don't know, in the past, all the teachers were upright gentlemen, and when they went out, they didn't know how many troubles they caused because of drinking along the way, and it was Wen who helped them deal with the aftermath. β
As soon as the words fell, Wen Chou suddenly arched his hand towards Liu Zhengrong and said: "Although Mrs. Xun should have mentioned Wen's gratitude in her letter, Wen still wants to say, thank you Liu Gongzi!" You let a certain family learn from the teacher, although the time is still short, a certain family has also benefited a lot, and the teacher has to give the word 'Zisheng'......"
As he spoke, his eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly knelt down, "Wen has nothing to reciprocate, this life, if you go back to the Yan family, it will be the Yan family, and when you go out, it will be Liu Gongzi's!" β
Since beating Wen Chou, he followed Li Yan, Li Cheng and others to the south to join Yan Liang and went back to Xuzhou, although he also followed Yan Liang to Jingzhou several times to worship Tong Yuan, but as Yan Sheng and Yan Cheng catered to Zhao Xin to frame Liu Zheng, in fact, the Yan family and Liu Zhengming also broke off the relationship on the surface, and Wen Chou and Liu Zheng had no contact.
Speaking of which, it is also Yan Liangming's reasoning, he wrote to Liu Zheng two years ago and confessed, he could see that Liu Zheng had the intention of recruiting him, but even if there was a relationship between Li Yan and Li Cheng, Yan Sheng and Yan Cheng's affairs were actually owed to Liu Zheng, but the head of the Yan family made up his mind not to have any intersection with Liu Zheng anymore, as a member of the Yan family, it was naturally impossible for him to interact with Liu Zheng without caring about the patriarch's attitude.
However, Yan Liang thought about it, and also felt that if the Yan family continued like this, most of them would not be able to survive for a long time, and he had been thinking about making meritorious contributions and glorifying his ancestors, so he asked Liu Zheng about the Xuzhou Confucian that Lu Zhi might know, and he was a little embarrassed between the lines, and he was also talking about the rhetoric of asking Liu Zheng to help, and it would be okay if he didn't help, after Liu Zheng received it, he did his best, and later contacted Zheng Xuan, who lived in Qingzhou, through Lu Zhi, and simply asked Yan Liang to go over with Wen Chou.
Zheng Xuan is a great Confucian in the world, there are thousands of disciples and protΓ©gΓ©s around him, many of whom have been recommended by Zheng Xuan to work in the state and county, and many people have become local celebrities, and their reputation has risen, and they eat and drink spicy food everywhere, and they are promoted by others.
It was also in that reply that Yan Liang promised to let Wen Chou help Liu Zheng, and if he met Liu Zheng in the future, he would try his best to help, and if possible, he also hoped to reconcile the Yan family and Liu Zheng, and even one day, they could work together in the court - even if they did things for the court under Liu Zheng's hands.
These words, of course, also have the implicit meaning of serving Liu Zheng as the master, after all, it is a kind of kindness, Liu Zheng has always been in his heart, occasionally thinking about recruiting the two of the four court pillars of Hebei to his side, and his heart is also a little beautiful, at this time, he saw Wen Chou grateful, and he did not forget the Yan family between the lines, he was a kind and righteous person, so he hurried to help, "In the past, you supported Wancheng, Liu Mou just reciprocated the peach, Zisheng did not have to be so polite." Speaking of which, your handwriting was mentioned by Clumsy Jing, but she also said that it was better to make you comfortable with Wen Chou, and said that your calligraphy was ...... It's too ugly and insults Uncle Zheng's reputation. Ha ha...... Why did you kneel down again? β
Seeing that Wen Chou suddenly knelt down again after being helped up, Liu Zheng was stunned, and Zhang Fei also said angrily: "What, the wine hasn't woken up yet?" β
Wen Chou is not drunk, but the smell of wine on his body is also very strong, it can be seen that he has actually drunk a lot, and when he speaks, his eyes will roll up from time to time, as if he is considering the use of words, as if his brain is in a state of some incompetence, of course, since he is a sober person, he will not kneel down for no reason after getting up, and he saw that Wen Chou's eyes were even redder, and he said faintly with a cry: "Childe, Wen Mou's kneeling is not for himself, but for Zichang." β
Zichang is the word given by Zheng Xuan to Yan Liang, Liu Zheng has also heard it, and at this time, looking at Wen Chou's expression, he was stunned, "What's wrong?" β
"Two months ago, Bohai Taishou Yuan Benchu sent someone to recruit Zichang, and after discussing with several uncles of the Yan family, he agreed." The tears in his eyes fell in vain, and Wen Chou cried: "Zichang felt that he was disappointed by Liu Gongzi's past kindness, and said to Wen, in the future, we will be our own masters, if we meet one day, we should forget those kindnesses, and we will live and die, Wen...... Yes! β
"It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes......"
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Zheng, who was silent, helped Wen Chou up, and comforted: "My eldest brother is not an unreasonable person, if there is really such a scene one day, you can rest assured, you don't need to take action." Moreover, even if my second brother and I make a move, I will definitely show mercy to his subordinates and take them captive so that your brothers can be together. β
"Zichang's marksmanship is inherited from Uncle Tong, if he is serious, where is it so simple?"
Liu Zheng shook his head, looked at Sun Qian and Xi Wei laughing at each other's injured noses, took out the wound medicine from his waist, Wen Chou immediately took it and helped Sun Qian and Xi Wei to apply it.
Liu Zheng thought for a while, "But he has been studying for a few years, and he has martial arts, and in the future, he should be used by Yuan Benchu as a general, and there are not many opportunities for everyone to fight...... All I can guarantee is that if he does find himself in that situation, I will try to spare his life. Of course, if it is captured, everything is negotiable. He has the intention to die, and I must have persuaded him. β
"Thank you, ...... Lord! β
Wen Chou arched his hand and said gratefully.
"Haha, it's all my own brothers, don't be so polite."
Zhang Fei hooked Wen Chou's shoulders and looked at Sun Qian's three people, "How many of them are there?" The letter from the female sister-in-law didn't mention much, but she wasn't ready to help my eldest brother help the Han family together? β
"After all, the teacher violated the principles of the past, and did not recommend us to the county, but asked me to wait to seek opportunities. Everyone knows the intention. Wen Mou has explored some for the lord, Brother Hongyu's thoughts, if the lord and Gongsun Duwei will wipe out Wuhuan in one fell swoop, he should serve as a dead force. Brother Gongyou has the heart to let Wuhuan survive, let Liu Youzhou come to reform, and let them become the real people of my Han Dynasty...... He didn't say whether he would serve the lord or not. β
Wen Chou thought for a while, "Fengzheng and Zini originally had the intention of going to Liaodong to meet Uncle Guan, but at this time, the situation in Youzhou was difficult to understand, so the two of them also wanted to see what the situation was, so as to choose the master." As for whether he will take refuge in the lord, it depends on the plan of the father-in-law. After all, Brother Gongyou and the Lord are the most cordial to the Lord among the five of us besides me. The two of them were a little sorry for their names, afraid that Mao Sui's self-recommendation would be rejected by the lord, but if the lord took the initiative, he might be able to succeed. Especially Zini, who had a very happy conversation with Xun Gongzi, and visited him for several days in a row, maybe he had been persuaded by Xun Gongzi. β
Speaking of this, Wen Chou also comforted Liu Zheng: "However, Wen thinks that the lord still doesn't have to mind too much. After all, the lord is not the only one who can take refuge in Youzhou, what do the senior brothers think, and please respect their ideas. β
"That's nature. They are all virtuous talents, and it is good to be able to do things for the Han. I'm lucky, I'm sorry to lose my life, let it be...... Then, you take care of them here, and Yide and I will go over and have a look first. The city is forbidden tonight, and we must stay here. Come back tomorrow to visit and talk to Brother Gongyou. β
"Okay, I'll send my lord and Brother Yide out ......"
Hearing the sound far away, Sun Gan, who was a little sleepy after being drugged, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and his worried eyes were also clear, looking at Sun Gan, covering his broken face and hissing in pain, and then Gongsun Fang also opened his eyes, sat up and broke the faces of the two, laughed uncontrollably, stretched his waist and turned over and fell asleep: "Insult Sven, insult Sven...... A certain family is grateful to the two brothers, they are indeed loyal and good people, the situation in Youzhou is worry-free, and a certain is worry-free. β
"Hmph. Sun Gongyou, with the results of this Wuhuan, you and I will fight it out! Xi Xuan glared at Sun Qian.
Sun Gan touched his hot nose and rolled his eyes, "I haven't repented of Xun Nuxun's discordant plan!" Look at you, incorruptible and shameful, fierce and brave. β
"Anyway, he, Liu Deran, didn't have the heart to murder Liu Youzhou, I'm willing! Can you handle it? β
