Jimo is not a very famous place. For Lu Ren, if it weren't for the fact that there was a very warm plot animation of "Jimo Watching Fireworks" in "Sword and Fairy IV", Lu Ren would not even have a half-point image of Jimo. Of course, Lu Ren didn't go to Jimo now to see fireworks and lanterns in Jimo like Yun Tianhe and Liu Mengli, not to mention that he was not in the mood at all now, just to say that the era he was in, the gunpowder needed for fireworks and firecrackers had not really appeared.

Lu Ren's purpose in going to Jimo was to save people, and to be honest, the person Lu Ren wanted to save was not in Jimo, but in Gaomi, a hundred miles west of Jimo. As for the people Lu Ren wants to save...... If this person was really taken away by Lu Ren, Yuan Shao would be furious, because this was Zheng Xuan, a master of scripture recognized at that time and even in later generations.

Zheng Xuan, whose name is Kangcheng, was a master of scripture in the late Han Dynasty, whose birth and death time was from 127 A.D. to 200 A.D., and his hometown was in Gaomi, Beihai, which is the modern Gaomi City of Shandong Province. He was highly respected and not subject to conscription, and at first led the students to live in seclusion in the mountains south of the city, carrying out scripture commentary and lecturing activities. Due to the chaos of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zheng Xuan could no longer sustain himself due to the lack of food, so he had to cry bitterly with the students and break up and go his own way.

In the second year of Emperor Xian's first peace, that is, in 191 AD, the Yellow Turban Army captured Qingzhou, and Zheng Xuan couldn't stay in Gaomi anymore, so he had to flee to Xuzhou to avoid chaos. Xuzhou Mu Taoqian once broke the Yellow Turban Army, the territory is relatively stable, he heard that Zheng Xuan's arrival was very welcome, and received him with the gift of a mentor and friend. At that time, Zheng Xuan settled himself in a stone house under the Chi Rock in the mountains of Nancheng, and rarely showed up, but he still studied the Confucian classics day and night.

The "landing site" when Lu Ren crossed was in 193 AD, and because he was worried about Cao Cao's "three-light policy" when he conquered Xuzhou, he was ready to take refuge in Zheng Xuan after saving enough travel expenses. But then because of a series of changes. As a result, Lu Ren did not go to Cheng Zheng Xuan, and correspondingly did not have any impact on Zheng Xuan's affairs.

As for Zheng Xuan, who lived in Xuzhou for five or six years, Kong Rong was the minister of Beihai at that time, and he had special respect for Zheng Xuan, so Kong Rong repaired the courtyard of Zheng Xuan's former residence, and then sent someone to invite Zheng Xuan to return to the county and return to his hometown. So in the first year of Jian'an. That is, in 196 A.D., Zheng Xuan returned to Gaomi from Xuzhou. According to historical records, Zheng Xuan encountered a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers on the way back to Gaomi, but they respected Zheng Xuan so much that "they all worshiped Xuan when they saw it, and they didn't dare to enter the county border."

Zheng Xuan was able to gain the respect of the Yellow Turban Army, which is recorded in history. And Zheng Xuan is a real celebrity, and he is not polite in the upheaval, which is also the reason why he can win the respect of the Yellow Turban Army. According to historical records. Zheng Xuan's Gaomi County was not plundered by the Yellow Turban Bank, and it was Zheng Xuan who protected the local neighborhood with his personality and fame.

In the fifth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 200 AD, Zheng Xuan was already 74 years old. As an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes, he often feels unwell. In the spring of this year, he dreamed that Confucius said to him, "Rise, rise, this year is in Chen, and the next year is in Ba", because this year is the year of Gengchen in the lunar calendar. That is, the year of the dragon, and the coming year is the year of Xinsi. That is, the Year of the Snake. In the old days, it was believed that the year of the dragon and snake was not good for the sages, so Zheng Xuan was very unhappy when he woke up, thinking that he would die soon.

Maybe this kind of record is a bit mysterious, and it is possible that the person who wrote the book deliberately deified Zheng Xuan. But it was in this year that the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao broke out, and Yuan Shao became strong. won the hearts and minds of the people, and asked Yuan Tan to force Zheng Xuan to follow the army. Zheng Xuan had no choice but to walk with his illness. When he walked to Yuancheng, that is, the border of modern Hebei Daming County, Zheng Xuan's illness worsened and he could no longer walk, and died in the county in June of the same year......

If we still ignore the original historical process. Zheng Xuan will definitely be conscripted by Yuan Shaoqiang to the Guandu battlefield. But it just so happened that Lu Ren was sent by Cao Cao to Fuzhou in Xuzhou at the beginning of the fifth year of Jian'an, and it was only February when he arrived in Tancheng. And Lu Ren is full of hatred for the Yuan family because of Wan'er. Although he can't directly deal with Yuan Shao at present, Lu Ren will not let go of anything that can disgust Yuan Shao.

Like the Zhen sisters before...... Of course, taking care is taking care, but Lu Ren also has a sense of holding Zhen Mi, Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law, in his hands. And next, don't you Yuan Shao want to use Zheng Xuan to put gold on your face? Lao Tzu just wants to snatch the old man Zheng from your Yuan Shao's hands, and slap you Yuan Shao's face hard with this matter!

However, at this time, Qingzhou, that is, the Shandong land where Gaomi is located, is in the hands of Yuan Shao after all, and the Cao and Yuan families are already in a state of imminent war, and it is unlikely that Lu Ren wants to go to Gaomi by land from Tancheng in Xuzhou to take Zheng Xuan. However, with Mi's shipping capacity, this is not a problem.

Lianyungang from Lu Ren and Mi Zhen...... This is not the Lianyungang of later generations, but Lu Ren just chose that place at that time, and then Mi Zhen made a big wharf, and Lu Ren easily installed the name Lianyungang. This Lianyungang is less than 400 kilometers away from Jimo, and the Mi ship's sea ships can make a round trip in less than a day. Jimo is less than 100 kilometers away from Gaomi, and it won't take you a few hours to get there on horseback.

By the way, since the whereabouts of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are unknown, and Mi Zhen was taken captive to Xuchang by Cao Cao, the children of those clans inside are like a plate of scattered sand, and the outside is under pressure from other clans with big surnames in Xuzhou, and there is already a meaning that the children of so many clans are falling apart.

At this time, Lu Ren suddenly appeared, his identity was still the history of Xuzhou Thorn, and with the long-term close relationship between Lu Ren and the Mi clan, these Mi clan disciples who were like dragons without a leader were really willing to listen to Lu Ren. And the Mi clan's maritime affairs, which had stopped in the absence of Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Mi Zhen, recovered within a few days after Lu Ren arrived in Xuzhou. Large-scale work may not be able to be done, but just sending a hundred or ten to ride to Jimo is a piece of cake.

Without further ado, let's just say that after Lu Ren arranged all the work that had to be done at hand, he mobilized some of the existing ships of the Mi clan, and then pulled Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu, the two brothers and sisters, and the hundred and ten to ride white horses, and then ran by sea to Jimo east of Gaomi after boarding the sea boat.

It took a little more time, and Lu Ren, Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu and Bai Shidao rode a white horse to Gaomi. However, Lu Renke did not lead the conspicuous hundred and ten horses to go over directly, but asked Zhao Yun to take Bai Ma Yi to find a suitable place to hide first, and he took Zhao Yu and a few people to visit Zheng Xuan first as ordinary guests.

Take Bai Mayi directly from the past to take Zheng Xuan away? Isn't that a "hijacking"? Zheng Xuan's name is so big, if Lu Ren dares to come like that, I'm afraid I don't even know how he died. Besides, the old man Zheng is a person with family soldiers, and it is recorded in historical materials that Yuan Tan led the Yellow Turban to attack Beihai, and when Kong Rong was surrounded in Duchang, Old Man Zheng asked his only son Zheng Yien to lead the family soldiers to rescue Kong Rong, but unfortunately he was besieged and killed.

If Lu Ren dares to be tough on Zheng Xuan, then he can't fight? And if you bleed and die in a fight, is Old Man Zheng willing to go with you Lu Ren? Taking a step back, Lu Ren said that if he wanted to rob Zheng Xuan, Brother Renyun would not agree. Bandit armies like the Yellow Turban Army still have great respect for Old Man Zheng, not to mention our Brother Yun?

So, Lu Ren and Zhao Yu and their entourage of only a dozen people rushed to the gate of Zheng Xuan's mansion. A configuration like the current one, because it is almost no different from a scholar who travels to study, will not attract anyone's attention. After Lu Ren dismounted in front of Zheng Xuan's mansion, he took out the famous thorn from his arms, that is, the business card at that time, and politely talked with the doorman for a few words, and asked the doorman to pass the famous thorn and ask to see Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan has a high reputation and great knowledge, and there are not a few people like Lu Ren who come to visit every year, so the people don't pay much attention to Lu Ren. In addition, Lu Ren made a slight move on the name thorn, and he only claimed to be a disciple of the Lu family of Wu County, and the doorman could only take the name thorn and hand it to Zheng Xuan when it was inconvenient to open the name thorn.

Zheng Xuan, as the master, of course could remove the little hands and feet that Lu Ren had made on the famous thorn, and when he opened it again, Zheng Xuan's face changed color at that time. After a little silence, Zheng Xuan asked the doorman to invite Lu Ren to the side hall to meet.

After the little things that should be done, Lu Ren only took Zhao Yu to meet Zheng Xuan in the side hall. And Zheng Xuan's first image to Lu Ren did not have any Dao bone fairy wind or anything like that, in Lu Ren's words, it was like a gray-haired old professor in the university...... But Old Man Zheng is really academic.

After a few polite words, Zheng Xuan seemed to let everyone retreat at will, and then said to Lu Ren in a very surprised tone: "Why did Lu Servant shoot here?" Although the old man was closed in the mansion and didn't ask about the world, he also knew that Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde were about to fight, and Lu Servant shot you Cao Mengde's person, and coming to this Qingzhou realm is no different from being alone and dangerous. ”

Lu Ren responded with a smile: "I was close to the post of Xuzhou Assassin, and I was ordered to pacify Xuzhou, and I only arrived in Tancheng a few days ago. ”

It is said that it is not far between Gaomi and Tancheng, and it is not close to it. Moreover, it was only a few days after Lu Ren arrived in Tancheng, and with the information circulation at that time, it was normal for Zheng Xuan to not know that Lu Ren was now the assassin of Xuzhou.

Zheng Xuan was slightly stunned, but this kind of thing had little to do with him, and he didn't care much about it. After a pause, Zheng Xuanfu asked again: "Lu Servant came here to meet the old man in danger, I don't know what happened?" ”

Lu Ren took a deep breath and adjusted his state again, and then said unhurriedly: "It's not for anything else...... Mr. Zheng, who came here in danger this time, wanted to ask Mr. Zheng to leave this place quickly to avoid the scourge of war. (To be continued......)
