Zhao Yun standing in front of Liu Xie is not as handsome as in later film and television dramas, but in Liu Xie's eyes, only such Zhao Yun is in line with the image of Zhao Zilong who is bold in his mind, and the film and television dramas are a little handsome and delicate, and he looks a little girly. And Zhao Yun in front of him, who is about 1.8 meters tall, has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a resolute expression, and he looks very energetic at first glance.

Accident, pure accident! Liu Xie never dreamed that Gongsun Zhan, that cheap senior brother, would be willing to give himself a fierce general like Zhao Yun. Could it be that he had seen Gongsun Chan wrong before? In fact, this Gongsun Chan is a good person with a warm heart?

This is Liu Xie thinking too much!

Two days ago, when he came out of Lu Zhi's place, Gongsun Chan began to think about what kind of person he wanted to do with his cheap junior brother. Bai Ma Yi was reluctant to obey him, it was his heart, but he could send a little people over casually, and he was worried about provoking the teacher's dissatisfaction. Although he was dissatisfied with the teacher's acceptance of Yuan Shao's expedition, Gongsun Chan still thought of Lu Zhi's goodness, and saw that the teacher's time was short, and he didn't want to make the teacher unhappy at such a time.

But who will he send? With this question, Gongsun Chan returned to his temporary residence, and as soon as he sat down, Guan Jing, who was regarded as a confidant by Gongsun Chan, came over. Guan Jing is Gongsun Zhan's long history, but the reason why he is valued by Gongsun Chan is not how outstanding his ability is, but that he is good at slapping horses and will be courteous. At this time, he came because he found that Gongsun Chan had a sad face when he came back, and he must have something on his mind.

For Guan Jing, Gongsun Chan didn't hide anything, and after Guan Jing listened to Gongsun Zhan's troubles, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and asked Gongsun Zhan: "Lord, what do you think of Zhao Yun?" ”

When Gongsun Zhan heard the name Zhao Yun, his face suddenly sank. It stands to reason that Zhao Yun once saved Gongsun Chan on the battlefield, and Gongsun Chan should not be so unkind to see Zhao Yun, a life-saving benefactor. But Zhao Yun was born in Zhending Mansion in Changshan County, which was Yuan Shao's territory. The suspicious Gongsun Chan suspected that Zhao Yun was a spy sent by Yuan Shao to his side, so although Zhao Yun made a lot of contributions, he was not reused by Gongsun Chan for a long time.

And once this person has prejudice, it is not easy to reverse the initial opinion, Gongsun Chan was originally prejudiced against Zhao Yun, and later there was Liu Bei's case, which made Gongsun Chan even more unwilling to see Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun was outstanding in martial arts after all, although Gongsun Chan would not reuse Zhao Yun, but he was reluctant to let Zhao Yun leave, so he let Zhao Yu stay in Baimayi as the commander and lead a team of Baima Yicong.

As for Liu Bei's affair, which made Gongsun Zhan feel uncomfortable, Liu Bei was to blame for acting too publicly. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, Liu Bei ran for office because he had no money, and was finally assigned a position as the county magistrate of Anxi County. Later, because the third brother Zhang Fei beat the postal supervisor who came to ask for a bribe in public, Liu Bei had to abandon his official position and leave. Gongsun Chan accepted Liu Bei, who was desperate at the time, and handed over Pingyuan County to Liu Bei to govern, but Liu Bei was not grateful, and it didn't take long for him to start preaching his identity as a royal family member everywhere, and he also deliberately wooed Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, so that Gongsun Chan's hand mentioned Liu Bei and said yes. Faced with this situation, it is strange that Gongsun Chan can be happy in his heart. And among those subordinates who think Liu Bei is good, Zhao Yun's performance is the most obvious.

Guan Jing was already good at slapping horses, so he naturally wanted to stand with Gongsun Zhan, plus Guan Jing and Zhao Yun had a little contradiction in private, at this time, after listening to Gongsun Zhan's troubles, Guan Jing of course thought of Zhao Yun for the first time. It doesn't matter to Guan Jing whether Zhao Yun is a fierce general or not, taking this opportunity to drive Zhao Yun away is what Guan Jing cares about the most.

Zhao Yun ...... He's good at martial arts. Gongsun Zhan was still a little hesitant when he heard this, after all, his mortal enemy Yuan Shao had the two tigers in Hejian Yan Liangwen and ugly, and he was a little uneven on his own, although he would not reuse Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun was still very useful to himself at present.

"Lord, although Zhao Yun is brave, he is brave and arrogant, and often forgets to be humble and humble, if it weren't for the lord's tolerance, this person would have died a few times."

Hearing Guan Jing's words, Gongsun Chan couldn't help but nodded, he didn't want to see Zhao Yun in the first place, so Zhao Yun's little problem would be infinitely magnified when it fell into Gongsun Chan's eyes. Zhao Yun's personality is a bit upright, but this is also related to his lack of experience, he is young and vigorous, and he wants to say a few words when he sees something unpleasant, who hasn't made this mistake when he was young.

"People like Zhao Yun, if they stay and stay until the end, they will turn against each other, rather than waiting for Zhao Yun to turn against him, it is better to take this opportunity to give it away, and he can also leave a good story in the future."

"Story?"

"Why is the lord confused? This time, it was Lu Shangshu who asked the lord for someone, and the lord gave Lu Shangshu the most courageous military general under his command, isn't this a model of respecting teachers. Moreover, if you don't give Zhao Yun to others now, will this Zhao Yun secretly go to Liu Xuande's big-eared thief in the future? ”

Liu Xuande ...... Hum! Hearing Guan Jing mention Liu Xuande, Gongsun Chan couldn't help but snort coldly, now Liu Bei has been equated with a white-eyed wolf in Gongsun Chan's eyes. Give you food, give you clothes, and give you a place to live, but you Liu Xuande is still not satisfied, what do you want to do to win people's hearts everywhere? Want to replace it?

"Shiqi, then how do you say that Zhao Yun will not secretly defect to Liu Da'er?" Gongsun Chan asked Guan Jing with some annoyance.

Hearing this, Guan Jing replied: "Although Zhao Yun is a little brave and arrogant, he still has some loyalty in his heart. If the lord doesn't want him to vote for Liu Da'er, it's best to work loyalty. ”

"Will the plan be released?"

……

Gongsun Chan's Hakuma Yoshiko once terrified the people of Karasuma in the north, but no matter how powerful the army was, there was a day when it was defeated. That is, not long ago, Bai Ma Yi was defeated by Yuan Jiang Yi's troops at the boundary bridge and returned defeated. Originally, the number of White Horse Yicong was not very large, but this time the losses were heavy, and the White Horse Yicong could not be seen on the battlefield in a short period of time.

Zhao Yun, as the commander of the tun, is familiar with how to train the White Horse Yicong, and now that the White Horse Yicong has failed miserably at the boundary bridge, Zhao Yun is very busy during this time, busy selecting qualified soldiers from the recruits sent to the battalion. However, when he heard Gongsun Zhan's call, Zhao Yun still rushed to Shanggu without stopping.

Gongsun Zhan's attitude towards himself, Zhao Yun actually knew it in his heart, and he also understood that this place was not a place for him to stay for a long time, and he was unwilling to bear the bad reputation of Chao Qin Muchu, otherwise when Liu Bei kept him, he would have stayed with the situation, instead of insisting on leading the troops back to Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan didn't want to see Zhao Yun, thinking that Zhao Yun was brave and arrogant, and had no consciousness of being a human minister, and Zhao Yun was also not optimistic about Gongsun Zhan, before seeing the real person, Zhao Yun felt that Gongsun Chan was a big hero who led his troops to fight against the alien races in the north. But after really doing things under Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun understood the meaning of the phrase "it's better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to meet than to be famous". Originally, he planned to wait for this batch of white horses to be trained and leave under the pretext of leaving from now on, but he didn't want Gongsun Chan to be summoned at this time.

"Zhao Yun visited the lord, what did the lord command?" Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, if you want to put Guan Jing aside, you won't ask so directly like Zhao Yun, but to Zhao Yun's surprise, Gongsun Chan didn't get angry this time, but took Zhao Yun's hand and said with a smile: "Zilong, don't say anything, I have something to ask for today." ”

"The lord's words are heavy, the cloud body is the main minister's ministry, the lord has something to do, and the cloud should do his best, and he can't talk about a word." Zhao Yun was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Huh...... Zilong, let's sit down and talk. Gongsun Chan smiled and pressed Zhao Yun to sit on the seat, then returned to the main seat and sat down and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, do you know who my teacher is?" ”

"My subordinates know that it is Lu Zhi, the great Confucian of the world, and Lu Shangshu."

"Well, this matter is actually not complicated, yesterday my teacher accepted another disciple, as a senior brother, naturally I also have to meet my little junior brother. Zilong, do you know who my little junior brother is? ”

“…… The subordinates don't know, and ask the lord to make it clear. ”

"Well, my little junior brother's background is not small, but he is the nephew of Situ Wang Yun of the Great Han, and he was ordered to visit his mentor this time, but he didn't expect my mentor to take a fancy to him and accept him as a closed disciple. This is a good thing, but the bad thing is that my teacher was worried that my little junior brother would encounter danger on the way back to Chang'an, so he asked me for someone. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun already understood in his heart why Gongsun Zhan was so polite to him today, no need to ask, he must have been given away as a favor. Starting from his heart, Zhao Yun was unwilling. In his heart, the master who can save the Han family is Liu Bei Liu Xuande, not Situ Wang Yun. But now he is Gongsun Zhan's subordinate after all, so he must obey Gongsun Zhan's dispatch, and he can choose not to listen, but with his understanding of Gongsun Zhan, he rejected him, and he may not know how he will arrange himself externally.

No one wants to live with a bad name! Guan Jing, who was sitting next to him, saw Zhao Yun's embarrassed expression, and immediately lost no time in persuading: "Zilong, it is also good for the lord to let you go to Chang'an. And if you go to Chang'an, you will have nothing to do with Youzhou, and you will be up to you where to go. ”

Zhao Yun looked down on Guan Jing and thought that this was a villain who relied on whiskers to slap horses and steal high positions, but today Zhao Yun suddenly felt that this Guan Jing didn't just know how to slap horses. Originally, I was still thinking about what excuse to use to leave Youzhou, but now it's okay, a ready-made excuse, and when I escort that Wang Yun's nephew to Chang'an, I don't owe others favors.

……

The Lu family

"Are you really Zhao Yun? Tsuneyama really Dingren's clan? Liu Xie was still a little unconvinced, and looked Zhao Yun up and down and asked.

"The little one is Zhao Yun." Zhao Yun looked at Liu Xie and replied without being humble or arrogant.

“…… I heard that Zhao Yunnai is a 10,000-strong enemy, and I have a person here who can also be called a 10,000-strong enemy, why don't you two compete and compete? Liu Xie thought about it and said to Zhao Yun.

In fact, long before entering the door, the sixth sense of the martial artist had already made Zhao Yun notice Dian Wei and knew that the yellow-faced ugly man in front of him was a strong enemy. Similarly, Dian Wei also became interested in Zhao Yun, who had just arrived. The most direct way to express the sympathy between warriors is to learn from each other and try each other's catties. Even if there is no proposal from Liu Xie at this time, the two will meet in private to compete. Now that there is Liu Xie's proposal, it is undesirable for the two.

In the open space in the backyard of the Lu family, as Liu Xie began, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, the two tiger generals, began to meet friends with martial arts. Both sides were cautious and did not rush into action, and tested each other for a while before handing them over. After all, the competition is not a life-and-death fight, and Liu Xie does not want the two fierce generals he met to make any mistakes, after Dian Wei and Zhao Yun fought for almost more than 50 years, Liu Xie opened his mouth to stop.

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun both felt a little unfinished, whether it was Dian Wei or Zhao Yun, they had not encountered any decent opponents since their debut, compared to Dian Wei, Zhao Yun was better, at least he had to learn from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but how could that kind of point-to-point exchange be enjoyable.

"Both of them are 10,000 enemies, and it's not a good thing to hurt anyone, so how about this fight even if it's a tie?" Liu Xie asked Dian Wei and Zhao Yundao with a smile. Happy, Lu Bu's bravery has always been a pimple in Liu Xie's heart, and if he wants to curb Lu Bu's ambitions, the best way is for someone to suppress him in the martial arts he is proud of. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are good candidates, but these two of them followed Liu Bei, and even if Liu Xie found it, it was useless. And Zhao Yun and Dian Wei in front of them, in terms of martial arts, they are not inferior to Guan and Zhang, if they can make these two people return to their hearts, then Lu Bu doesn't need Liu Xie to worry too much, so that he often can't sleep at night.

But it's not easy to get the fierce general to return to his heart, not to mention Zhao Yun, who just came, is Dian Wei, who has been with Liu Xie for a while, and Liu Xie hasn't done it yet.

……

In order to avoid the disclosure of Liu Xie's true identity, Lu Zhi sent Liu Xie back to Chang'an after Gongsun Chan fulfilled his promise. As for himself, he rejected Liu Xiexing's proposal. Lu Zhi felt that his time was running out, and he didn't want to make the already unstable court even more turbulent because of his return to the court. After all, whether it is personal prestige or connections, he Lu Zhi is a cut above Wang Yun, if he returns to the dynasty, where will Wang Yun be?

Liu Xie could only regretfully leave Shanggu, but before leaving the Lu family, Liu Xie specially found the housekeeper of the Lu family, in addition to leaving a large sum of money, but also told the housekeeper that if the teacher was not there in the future, he also asked him to take Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu to Chang'an, he would definitely take good care of it.

The housekeeper is loyal to the Lu family, seeing that the old man's time is running out, and the young master is young, as the old man of the Lu family, it is impossible to say that he is not worried about the future. Now Liu Xie offered to take care of the Lu family, regardless of anything else, this intention alone is enough to make people feel comforted.

After bidding farewell to Lu Zhi, Liu Xie and his party embarked on the journey back to Chang'an. Along the way, Liu Xie continued to contact Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, perhaps because he worshipped Lu Zhi as his teacher, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun at least did not reject Liu Xie thousands of miles away in their attitude. On the second day after leaving the Lu family, Liu Xie and his party were on their way, but they were blocked by a person who caught up behind.

"Ziyou?" Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment when he saw the person blocking the road, and then shouted in surprise.

"Zilong? Great, finally met. The man known as Ziyou also saw Zhao Yun, and stepped forward with some excitement.

"Childe, this is my fellow countryman, named Xiahou Lan, the word is quiet." Zhao Yun introduced Liu Xie.

"It turned out to be Ziyou, it seems that you are in a hurry to find Zilong, what is the matter?" Liu Xie asked curiously.

Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, Zhao Yun also looked at Xiahoulan, indeed, as Liu Xie said, his fellow villagers would not come to him for no reason. In the face of Zhao Yun's inquiring eyes, Xia Houlan seemed a little hesitant, as if there was something that was difficult to say bluntly.

"Ziyou, you and I grew up together since we were young, although we are not brothers, we are better than brothers, if you have something to say, you can say it directly." Seeing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but urge.

"Is there something wrong with Zilong's family?" Liu Xie, who was on the side, interjected and asked.

“…… Well. Xia Houlan nodded when she heard this.

"What's wrong with my brother? And what about my sister? As soon as Zhao Yun saw Xia Houlan nodding, he immediately became anxious, his parents died early, and it was his brother who pulled his brother and sister to grow up, and the closest people in the world to him were his brother and sister.

“…… Zilong, our village encountered a bandit some time ago, and your brother was seriously injured in order to protect his sister, so he didn't survive......" Xia Houlan's voice became smaller and smaller, because he found that his former friend had almost changed at this time.

The murderous aura cannot be seen or touched, but it can be truly felt. Zhao Yun has been in Gongsun Zan for several years, and he has experienced no less than 100 battles, and when he suddenly heard the bad news of his brother, the violent anger in his heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed.

"Zilong, calm down, the top priority is to go home as soon as possible, don't forget, you still have a sister." Among the people present, Dian Wei could withstand the murderous aura exuded by Zhao Yun's body at this time, and only he dared to pat Zhao Yun's shoulder at this time and remind Zhao Yun of the things that should be paid attention to the most.

"Childe ......" Zhao Yun, who was awakened by Dian Wei's slap, immediately went to see Liu Xie, Liu Xie didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said to Zhao Yun: "Let's go together, we can't make many detours anyway." ”

“…… Thank you, Childe. Zhao Yun was really in no mood to be polite to others at this time, and when he saw Liu Xie's intentions, he immediately rushed to the front of the team.

The whole journey was fast, there was almost no rest on the way, and when the group finally arrived at Zhaojia Village in Zhending Mansion, Changshan County, Liu Xie was already tired and scattered.

"Brother Dian, do me a favor and help me down." Liu Xie said to Dian Wei, who got off the horse first. Seeing that Dian Wei was puzzled, he said with a wry smile: "I've been busy in the past few days, and the skin of my leg may be worn out, and it hurts my heart if I move a little." ”

"Why didn't Childe say it?" Hearing this, Dian Wei stepped forward and picked Liu Xie off the horse, and asked in a low voice.

"Zilong's heart is like an arrow, there is no need to tell him about this little thing, Brother Dian, let's go in and have a look." Liu Xie shook his head and said.
