Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

Early in the morning, inside and outside the city, all the characters with heads and faces were waiting outside the city, looking towards the road in the distance, and did not dare to take their eyes off for a moment.

Several big clans in Xuzhou - surnamed Liu, surnamed Peng, surnamed Zhang, etc., their descendants and people who can speak are all concentrated outside the city, if it were not for the fact that several princes are old, and some have even died, I am afraid that those few will inevitably come over in person.

Even now, those few people are urging again and again to drive out all the people who can come out of the house, and they will drink and eat here early in the morning, waiting for the arrival of the one.

But who is coming?

The officials guessed that it was Chen Zhi who was born in Pengcheng.

He ordered the march, and there were two armies of soldiers and horses, respectively from Jingxiang and Shu, and after quickly occupying Wang Dun's lair, he led a group of soldiers and horses to the south without hurrying, reporting news along the way, so that the officials in various places could be prepared, and it could be regarded as a southern inspection.

Although he opened the way with soldiers and horses, he didn't need much to be greeted by the locality, but with Chen Zhi's current identity and status, when he arrived at a place, how dare others really hang aside?

So this road can be described as colorful, and there are even two people who block the way to complain, which makes Chen Zhi addicted to solving the case, and this news has also spread, making many counties in front of him rumor, for fear of causing some trouble.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi led the army south, and he would not delay long in various places, and soon came to Xuzhou.

Xuzhou, this place, the past two years can be regarded as a lot of toss, not to mention the successive changes of ownership, every time it changes hands, it is often accompanied by war and struggle.

At the beginning of the imperial court's jurisdiction, there were natural and man-made disasters, and the entry of Wang Mi and others made Xuzhou suffer a lot of impacts.

It couldn't stop for two days, but suddenly the world was in turmoil, King Jiangdu and others came to occupy it one after another, and finally returned to the Jiangzuo court, but before they could catch their breath, Shile's people came again.

Not long after, Shi Le and Shi Hu were defeated successively, and the Jiangzuo court was about to recover, but the officials sent over had not yet arrived, so Xuzhou ran over and surrendered to the Xuanjia army.

After entering the Xuanjia Gate, no one dared to say more, and this place was finally peaceful.

Now there is sudden news that it is the head of the Xuanjia Army, the champion Hou from Xuzhou, who led the army south, to pass through Xuzhou, from top to bottom, everyone is excited, especially the two places of Pengcheng and Xiapi, who are even more enthusiastic about this.

These two places, one is Chen Zhi's hometown, and the other is Chen's current big branch, and the relationship with Chen Zhi is extraordinary, so after getting the news, he immediately publicized it and made preparations.

Now, the welcoming team outside Pengcheng also has something to do with it, but in the final analysis, that champion Hou's status in the north has surpassed that of the emperor, and he is the real lord of the northern land, and no one dares to ignore it.

"It's really a change in the world, I think that at the beginning, the champion was still studying in the city, and he also went with us to greet others, but now, we have to wait here until noon, otherwise it would be disrespectful......"

The patriarchs of some people's major families sighed.

This is true, according to the news, Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses will not arrive until noon, and the scouts in the early stage have already been reported.

This Xuzhou is now under the control of the Xuanjia Army, it is its own territory, and because of the relationship between Chen Zhi, the control is still very strong, and the place is also very cooperative, since there will be no halfway robbery, so the speed of the soldiers and horses is set in advance, and there will be no accidents.

As a result, those who had a slight position in their city had to wait here early in the morning, and even braved the scorching sun until the soldiers and horses came, to say the least, for two or three hours.

But at most, it's just a mouthful, and no one dares to really complain.

However, as soon as this person opened his mouth, it also attracted many people to get better, including the new generation who had just emerged in the past few years, and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that when the champion Hou was a young man, he had great ambitions, and he intersected with the peddler and pawn, but he knew the three religions and nine streams, and now he can win half of the world at once, is it true?" ”

Such rumors have become more and more popular in recent years, and Chen Zhi's words and deeds in the past have been praised and praised from various angles.

At this time, when they heard the inquiry, those patriarchs and others couldn't help but sigh.

"This is said to be quite legendary, at the beginning many people said that the champion Hou is addicted to gambling, but he is a loser, who knows that he is doing Chu Zhuang Wang Shi, to accumulate thick and thin, three years without a sound, a blockbuster!"

"But isn't it, in retrospect, what the champion Hou did in the past, which one doesn't have a deep meaning? When he was a teenager, he had already seen the importance of a hundred schools, and now he can compile the Chen Xue Canon and spread it all over the world, and it is even more a matter of becoming a king! ”

"Yes, this strange man is going to do strange things!"

……

As soon as this topic opened, all parties consciously had some friendship with Chen Zhi in the past, and they all came over to say a few sentences, while lamenting their shallow knowledge in the past, and at the same time hinting that in fact, they had long noticed that Chen Zhi often had amazing actions, but in the past, their vision was not good, and they couldn't see the mystery, but now that they recall it, they know that it contains deep meaning.

But it made many young generations excited to hear it, and their admiration and awe for Chen Zhi became even stronger.

When Chen Zhi arrived in Pengcheng, he was warmly welcomed, and when he entered the city, he heard Eighth Uncle Chen Yuan mention this matter, and couldn't help laughing and said: "The young and ignorant behavior, when it comes to their mouths, there are so many praises, but it makes people cry and laugh." ”

Chen Yuan also smiled: "Your identity is different now, what you did in the past is amazing, others have to study it, and even follow suit, in the final analysis, they are not surprised by what you did in the past, but hope to be able to achieve such an achievement from you!" ”

Chen Zhi thought of many successful books in his previous life, and couldn't help but shake his head, he really didn't expect that he would have such a day.

Thinking about it, Chen Zhi skipped this topic and asked: "Eighth Uncle, I still want to ask you this time, do you still want to continue to be a captain, or go to the north to be the lord of a county?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "Now I can be a captain, it's all thanks to you, I know this ability, this is the end, if it is the county lord, it will be a mess, when the time comes, others will not say how I Chen Yuan is, but I want to say that your champion Hou's relatives have done bad things and ruined your reputation, this will never work!" And I heard that now if you want to become an official in the north, you have to go through the imperial examination, and you can't break the rules because of blood relatives, so that someone will follow suit in the future. ”

Chen Zhi listened, nodded solemnly, and said: "This time, I was confused, thinking that there was a gap, if it wasn't for the eighth uncle's reminder, I'm afraid I would have made a mistake." ”

"Don't use this set, you know it, it's just to test my style," Chen Yuan laughed, and then restrained his smile, "However, what is your intention in going south this time, then Wang Dun has already attacked Jiankang, but you are not as soon as possible, what kind of thoughts do you have?" ”

Chen Zhi laughed, and he said, "Someone asked you to ask Uncle Eight." ”

Chen Yuan didn't hide it, but said: "Now there are rumors that when you were born, you had a vision. ”
