At this moment, although it is already the autumn moon, the sun in the early autumn afternoon still has a trace of the aftermath of midsummer.

On Zimo in the eastern suburbs of Anhui County, a convoy of more than ten people is marching along the long road.

The leader of the convoy was a young man in his twenties. He rode a tall horse, dressed in brocade clothes, and had a cold face, which was out of place with the convoy.

Like Zhou Yu, he traveled from east to west, in the direction of Anhui County.

At first, he was still much behind Shaker, but he was fast on horseback, and it didn't take much effort to run in front of Shaker. When he overtook Shao'er for a moment, Zhou Yu recognized him from the corner of his eye, so he rode his horse to chase him in front of him, stopped him in one fell swoop, and said, "Brother Zhang." ”

"Appeal ......"

After the man stopped his horse, he first glanced at Zhou Yu, and when he saw that it was the greeting of the old man, he looked at each other with a straight eye, and saluted, saying, "Brother Zhou Xian." ”

"Why is Brother Zhang here?" Zhou Yu said.

The man replied, "Visit the old man," and said, "Brother is in a hurry, can the virtuous brother let me?" ”

"Brother Zhang, please, Brother Zhang, please!"

Zhou Yu controlled the shaker and got out of the way.

As soon as the man passed, Xiao Qiao put it in Zhou Yu's ear and whispered, "Who is he, so rude?" ”

"His name is Zhang Xuan." Zhou Yu said, "He is cold by nature, and he has this indifferent attitude towards everyone, and he is not deliberately rude to us." ”

"You have such a good personality, why did you meet him?"

"His father and my cousin were good friends, and that's how I met him."

From Zhou Yu's words, it is not difficult to know that Zhang Xuan's father is Zhang Hong, who has visited the Zhou family.

"What are his parents?"

Zhou Yu saw that Zhang Xuan had already walked away, so he rode his horse forward and said: "According to my observation, his father was kind and humble; According to my cousin, his mother was also very understanding. ”

Xiao Qiao exhaled "weird" and said, "He has this temperament, and I don't know who he is with!" Surpass him, save the eyesore! ”

"No." Zhou Yu said, "His nature is not bad, but he is indifferent to others, and he doesn't care too much about other people's feelings when he speaks and acts." ”

Little Joe didn't ask for anything more, she just lowered her head and silently fiddled with her fingers.

Zhou Yu muttered, "I really can't help you", and then he drove the shaker and galloped forward.

With a distance of dozens of zhang, it only took the blink of an eye to catch up. The speed of its movements was really beyond Zhou Yu's expectations.

Seeing Zhou Yu speeding past him, Zhang Xuan didn't show any anger, he just stared ahead, pouted, and said, "Compete!" ”

If the speed of the rocker's gallop can make people's eyes shine, then the endurance of the rocker's long-distance gallop determines its status as a good horse. It carried two people at the same time and ran for more than 20 miles in one go. When it stopped its iron hooves, it had sent Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao to the city of Anhui County. Among the many good horses that Zhou Yu has seen, only Piao'er, who is in good physical condition, can be compared with it.

"Good horse! It's hard to find! You can't ask for it! Zhou Yu said, "It's a pity that Piao'er can't tolerate you!" ”

Xiao Qiao didn't understand horses, so he had to respond: "If you like it, buy it." ”

"It's a pity that Piao'er can't accommodate it. Or ......"

He stared at Little Joe, slurching.

"Or what?"

"It's nothing, let it be!"

"You!"

Xiao Qiao frowned, glanced back at Zhou Yu, and said sullenly: "So it's mysterious!" If you don't say it, I don't want to hear it yet! ”

Zhou Yu still said, "You will know", so he changed the topic and said, "Where is this?" Is there a good place to go nearby? ”

"The inner city of Anhui County is easterly." Xiao Qiao said, "Two miles away from here, there is a Taoist temple. ”

Zhou Yu shouted the word "Taoism" and said, "Can you take me to see it?" ”

"From this to the south......"

Xiao Qiao was curious about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he guided him and went straight to the Taoist temple.

When they arrived at the Taoist temple, the gate of the huge Taoist temple was blocked by a large crowd of people. Looking at the Taoist temple, which is usually full of people, now it has become full of people, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh: "What's going on!" ”

"Just go in and see."

Zhou Yu looked very indifferent, as if everything was in his expectation.

In order to be able to enter the Taoist temple as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to lower his status, rode his horse around the back door, and knocked on the wooden door with Xiao Qiao.

Maybe the sound in the Taoist temple was too noisy, or maybe the Taoist priests were too busy, they buckled at the back door for a long time before Xiaodao opened the door and said, "Those who ask for gold pills, the front door is lined up; Those who are looking for the deceased should submit their name post. ”

Zhou Yu took out the name card and said, "Give it to Yu Ji." ”

"Wait, both of you."

Xiaodao took the name card and went straight to the back room.

"How do you know it's Yu Ji who is doing the trick?"

"Yu Ji is a Taoist priest, where else can he go except for the Taoist temple? As I expected, many years ago, this place was run by the Taiping Daoists. ”

"Oh?"

During the conversation, the Xiaodao had already replied: "Two, Mr. Yu is invited." ”

They tied Shaker to a tree in the backyard, and followed the guidance of the path to meet Yu Ji.

Yu Ji sat down with them, looked Zhou Yu up and down, and said, "Zhou Gongzi was born in a famous family, what is the intention of patronizing Xiaoguan?" ”

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, and then said tentatively: "Mr. Shennong's skills are very clever, Zhou Yu admires it, and wants to ask Mr. for a lesson or two." ”

"Childe, don't laugh." Yu Ji said, "This is not Shennong's technique, but Huang Lao's technique." ”

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, "oh", and said: "I am a shallow learner, but I don't know that the so-called Huang Lao's technique is to drive malaria pills and big tonic pills?" ”

Although the matter has been revealed, Yu Ji still tried his best to complete and said: "Whether it is Shennong's technique or Huang Lao's technique, it is a technique to save people. ”

"Even so, the art of saving people should not be the same as the art of deception."

Yu Ji was a little short of words, so he had to squeeze out a smile in embarrassment and said, "Childe is serious." ”

Zhou Yu let out a "heh" and said, "Mr. is so painstaking, is it just for the game?" ”

Yu Ji didn't dare to answer, so he asked: "According to the son's opinion, what is the poor road's plan?" ”

Zhou Yu blurted out the sentence "Demagoguery in the name of the gods", and then tentatively said: "What Mr. is plotting, but where is the Han Dynasty?" ”

Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, and said: "Those who are thinking about the Han Dynasty seem to be your group of princes and generals!" ”

"The princes and generals will seize the world, at least they will not justify their names as gods and ghosts."

"You can't have both!"

Before Zhou Yu could reply, Yu Ji looked at Xiao Qiao again, and said: "Madame is so standard, the son can be well protected, if it is for his own selfishness, he has failed his wife's crystal heart and daughter's body, and the son will regret it too late!" ”

When Yu Ji called out the first "madam", Xiao Qiao lowered her head shyly, but she didn't interrupt Yu Ji, until Yu Ji's voice fell, she said, "I, I'm not his wife." ”

Yu Ji was a little surprised, so he said vainly: "The woman who marries him in the future will definitely be miserable, and she will be a major event in her life, so remember to think twice." ”

When Xiao Qiao heard this, his face immediately changed - this was not a re-examination of Zhou Yu, but an annoyance with Yu Ji's curse. Zhou Yu was afraid that she would believe Yu Ji's fallacy, so he scolded him: "You demon way, don't want to confuse the public with demons!" ”

In response to Zhou Yu's reprimand, he only replied with a rather Zen saying: "Those who believe are confident, those who doubt are self-doubting, right and wrong, there is no certainty." ”

"Shuang'er, don't listen to his nonsense."

He took Xiao Qiao's hand and refused to let go for a long time.

Xiao Qiao likes this hazy love very much, and she doesn't want to show her heart too early and spoil this beautiful hazy feeling. She was stunned for a moment and said, "What happened just now!" How come I didn't hear it at all! ”

"Let's go."

When they stepped out of the door, Zhou Yu couldn't help but turn around and said, "Mr. Yu, let's do it yourself." ”

As soon as they led the shaker out of the Taoist temple, they met the annoying Zhang Xuan again. In the blink of an eye, he met someone he hated, and Xiao Qiao couldn't help but keep a straight face and look away casually.

"Brother Zhou Xian, why are you here?"

"What? The old man that Brother Zhang said, could it be Yu Ji? ”

"Exactly. Yu Ji is an old friend of my father's, and I came here to send him a few carts of things on his father's orders. ”

Zhou Yu glanced at the convoy and said, "How could Ling Zun know Yu Ji's demon way!" even sent a few big carts of things to this demon road! ”

"Is there some misunderstanding between you and Yu Ji?"

"Brother Zhang, do you know something......

Zhou Yu spent half an hour telling Zhang Xuan everything he had seen and heard.

Zhang Xuan nodded, replied, "These fathers know", and then ordered the servants to open the boxes on several carts.

When the box opened, Zhou Yu couldn't stop shaking his head and said, "Why is this?" Why do you want to help abuse? "Because the boxes are filled with extremely valuable Chinese medicine raw materials.

Zhang Xuan said "hey" and said: "According to the opinion of the virtuous brother, curing the disease and saving people has become aiding and abusive. ”

Zhou Yu didn't think so, he pondered for a moment, and said, "If Yu Ji is only to cure diseases and save people, why should he use the name of the gods?" One day, Yu Ji's wings are full, and there must be another Yellow Turban Uprising. ”

"The future is illusory, who can be sure of what it says! I don't know what he's going to do in the future, I just know he's saving people right now. Moreover, what about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes can judge, why can't the Taoist priests raise troops? ”

"The current situation of the princes is all caused by the Yellow Turban turmoil."

"If the court is safe, how can the people be willing to gamble their lives."

"The policies of the imperial court are naturally full of problems, and it is natural for the people to rebel because they can't survive, but the ideas and measures of Taiping Dao are not a flash in the pan. If the Taiping Dao people had won the world, the system of thousands of years would have been chaotic, the development of national strength would have stagnated, and the people would have just driven wolves at the front door and welcomed tigers at the back door. ”

They argued for a long time, agreed with each other, and refuted each other. Neither of them could convince the other, so they had to break up. Before parting, Zhou Yu also persuaded Zhang Xuan to "do it yourself".

Xiao Qiao saw that it was still early, so he took Zhou Yu around.
