Chapter 55: The Gatekeeper
Su Chen also knew that if he didn't throw out something real, the other party would not be at ease to hand over his younger brother to him, a person of unknown origin, so he said:
"Brother Zhang, I forgot to introduce myself, the contemptible Su Chen, the word Xingyu, is now the county lieutenant of Jiuyuan County, and his father is Shi Suyu, the magistrate of Wuyuan County, and one of the two behind me is called Wei Xu, now Sima of Wuyuan County, and the other is called Cao Xing, and now he is the lieutenant of the department.

After introducing his identity, Su Chen also explained his intention: "The family teacher told me that there is a general star in Yanmen Mayi, and after divination, I finally knew that this person's name was Zhang Liao, so the three of us came here, but I didn't expect that Zhang Liao was only ten years old at this time, so I wanted to take him with me to teach, so as not to waste his talent in vain." ”
As soon as Zhang Pan heard that he was actually a county lieutenant, and heard Su Wei's name, he asked: "But the son of Su County Ling, who captured Xianbei and Lian and defeated Xianbei aliens, in person?" ”
Is my father's reputation already so loud?
Su Chen didn't expect it, but he nodded honestly and responded, "Exactly!" ”
Zhang Pan listened to his answer, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Since it is Su Gongzi who is here, I think Su Gongzi has already found out the origin of the Zhang family, don't hide it from Gongzi, as long as Gongzi is willing to agree to a certain request, my Zhang family brother will sell this life to Gongzi from now on." ”
"Oh?" Su Chen didn't expect things to be so easy, and immediately asked: "It is suitable for the requirements, as long as it is reasonable, I naturally have no objection!" ”
Zhang Pan organized the language and said: "Su Gongzi, you also know that my ancestor is Nie Yigong, who has come out of the 'Ma Yi Scheme', but unfortunately it fell short, in the past three hundred years, the ancestors of my Zhang family have all taken the destruction of foreign races and the protection of the territory and the people as their own responsibility, and now the Huns are declining, Xianbei is rampant, Su Gong defeated Xianbei, and it is really a bad breath for us border Han people, I only hope that Su Gongzi can promise a certain and not let foreign races bully my border people in the future, so it is a certain will." ”
Su Chen didn't expect Zhang Pan to have this ambition, and he didn't expect the Zhang family to always adhere to Nie Yi's long-cherished wish, but in the face of Zhang Fan's kneeling, he felt the responsibility on his body.
Yanmen County directly borders Xianbei and is often harassed, and the contradictions between the Han and the Han are very violent, but compared to Wuyuan County, it is much more serious.
Su Chen took a deep breath, helped him up, and promised: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, although my father and son can't manage this Yanmen County now, one day, I will definitely lead Brother Zhang and Brother Ling to wipe out these alien races who bullied the people of my Han family." ”
"So, meet the lord!" After kneeling, he pulled Zhang Liao over and respectfully bowed to Su Chen.
Su Chen hurriedly helped the Zhang family brothers up, touched Zhang Liao's tiger head, and said, "Zhang Liao, you will call me eldest brother in the future!" ”
Zhang Liao laughed, Su Chen beckoned the two brothers of the Zhang family to go to the restaurant for a big meal, and then simply packed up some things and left Mayi.
In fact, the Zhang family is surrounded by four walls, and there is really nothing to clean up, and in the late Han Dynasty, where martial arts were prosperous, Su Chen couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Liao would have grown into a good general of the five sons in history without his arrival.
It's really hard to say, although Zhang Liao's qualifications are extraordinary, but there is no master to lead him into the door, he is a disciple of a poor family, after all, it is difficult to break through the cage, maybe from the day he arrived, this Zhang Liao's fate is destined to be connected with him, otherwise why would it be so smooth?
Does life have a fixed trajectory? Su Chen didn't know!
After the five of them left Mayi, they went straight to the Yin Pavilion, no matter what, Guo Yi, the Taishou of Yanmen County, he still had to pay a visit, maybe he could still see his amazing son Guo Huai.
In fact, Su Chen thought too much, and the current Guo Huai was not born yet.
Zhang Pan has practiced martial arts, but it is only a superficial method, but it is only a realm of skin refining, and it is precisely because of this that he did not rashly build a foundation for Zhang Liao.
But his archery skills are good, Su Chen intends to help him, and after his cultivation is improved in the future, he can be transferred to Cao Xing's troops to assist Cao Xuan to form a special team of archers for long-range strikes.
As for Zhang Liao, now Zhang Liao is still a child, Su Chen wants him to follow Gao Shun to learn the art of military formation, although this art of military formation is a secret of the Gao family, but as long as he goes to say, I believe that Gao Shun will accept Zhang Liao as a disciple.
But these are not enough, Su Chen has great expectations for Zhang Liao, in the current team, Zhang Liao can be said to be the person with the greatest potential, and he is also ready to let his father-in-law Cai Yong also accept Zhang Liao as a disciple and teach him the subset of scripture and history, and the war book and war strategy.
But this is all in the future, within ten years, Zhang Liao can't help, but he can still afford to wait for ten years, ten years later is the time when the heroes rise together, I believe that at that time, Zhang Liao has grown up, and he is definitely his right-hand man.
Moreover, he also has an idea, this ten years is also the time to establish the wolf rider in his heart, let Zhang Liao grow up with the wolf rider, if he can get the support of everyone in the future, it will be enough to become the leader of this wolf rider, and he will have the opportunity to shine in the future.
When he came to the Yinguan County Guard's Mansion, Su Chen handed over the letter of worship and Guo Wen, and Guo Wen's letter was there, and Guo Yi enthusiastically sent someone to introduce it into the mansion.
Su Chen didn't come here empty-handed, Su wine is indispensable as a gift-giving choice, after a few words of greeting, Guo Yi told him to set up a banquet in the mansion in the evening to catch him, of course he didn't refuse.
Under the leadership of the servant, a group of five people were about to go to the guest room to settle down, and when they passed by an open space, Su Chen was suddenly attracted by a loud shout, and looked over, only to see a big man dancing a knife shirtless, with extraordinary momentum.
"Who is this? How brave is it? Su Chen faintly saw Li Yan's shadow from this person, when Li Yan was studying with Wang Yue in Su Mansion, his one-handed sword technique made him superb, even if he didn't use his true qi, it was not ordinary people who could get close.
The strong man in front of him, a big knife danced impermeable, as if the needle was not as good as the needle, and the water could not be splashed in, this kind of cultivation was really not to be underestimated, although this strong man did not use his true qi, but he could feel a powerful aura from him.
The servant who led the way in front knew that Su Chen was the lord's honored guest, so he didn't dare to slack off, but when he looked at the strong man, he replied with a little disdain: "If you go back to Gongzi, that man is a guard in the mansion, and his status is low, so he doesn't dare to ask Gongzi." ”
"Oh?" Su Chen was skeptical, but he heard from the servant's mouth that the strong man was now the guardian of the mansion, and he was not taken seriously.
These servants feel superior to others, and like to look at people through the cracks in the door, so they naturally look down on people.
He didn't care, even if the other party didn't use his true qi, just that one-handed sword technique had already conquered half of him.
He thought he had to find a chance to get in touch with the man, maybe there was a windfall.
In addition to his group of five people at the banquet in the evening, the rest were all from Guo's mansion, he inquired, but he didn't hear that Guo Yi had a son, and looking at the other party's white face, he thought that he was also blessed by the family, so he climbed to the high position of Taishou 2,000 stones at a young age.
Although the other party is not much older than him, he is still a junior, Guo Yi took a little sense and left under the pretext of being busy with official business, and only let the housekeeper and guard commander in the house accompany him.
Su Chen didn't care either, it was exactly what he wanted, he and the guard commander pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and finally inquired clearly, the strong man came to apply when the palace recruited guards a few days ago, but because he was an outsider, he was not welcomed, and only let him do some rough work usually.
On the one hand, Su Chen secretly scolded these people for being blind and deaf, such a warrior turned out to be dusty, and on the other hand, he was very happy, if he hadn't come to Guo Mansion, there would have been no surprise.
He pretended to inquire about the man's dwelling casually, and after the feast was over in the evening, he was alone, carrying a jar of medicinal wine and ten catties of cooked meat, and knocked on the door of the firewood where the strong man lived.
"Who?" Suddenly a voice came from the room, and it was not difficult to hear the meaning of vigilance and vigilance in his tone.
"Uninvited guests, I wonder if the host can welcome them?" Su Chen replied outside the door.
"You're on the wrong track, this is just a firewood house where people live, please go back." The voice in the room sounded again, and the tone was very cold.
Su Chenxin said that he was so skilled, he was willing to succumb to the Taishou Mansion as a disciple of the gatekeeper, either he had other plans, or he was guilty of a big crime and was exiled from the rivers and lakes, no matter what, he was by no means a simple person, and it was really not easy to eliminate his vigilance.
After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered a sentence and said directly: "Under the artemisia grass, there may be orchids; Under the mouth, there may be a prince, a strong man, a sincere friendship, a sincere heart, and hope that the strong man will be clear. ”
There was a sudden silence inside for a while, and only after a long time came a voice: "Put down the things, go back, your mind is ashamed." ”
Belch!
Su Chen was almost choked by these words, but he also knew the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so he had to put down the wine and meat stupidly, and said, "Strong man, at this time tomorrow night, I will come to visit again." ”
When he returned to the house, the strength of the wine suddenly rose, and he only fought with his eyelids, and fell asleep after a while.
After he left for a while, the door of the firewood room was opened, and the strong man took the wine and meat outside the door into the house, and after a while, he heard a sentence: "Good wine, I didn't expect that a certain person could also drink this legendary Wuyuan Immortal Brew!" ”
"Huh? No, no, this wine seems to be able to enhance cultivation? ”
The strong man drank a lot of wine, ate a lot of meat, and was so unhappy that in a short time he was drunk.
The next day, Su Chen really saw the strong man dancing on the school field again, and he had the heart to get acquainted, but there were many people in the daytime, and others were suspicious, so he still stopped thinking about it.
That night, he went to visit again with the wine and meat, and as last night, the other party asked him to leave the wine and meat and go back by himself, but the tone was much better than last night.
Su Chen was encouraged, and said that talented and capable people are always arrogant, Liu Bei still has three visits to the thatched house, he doesn't mind this at all, in order to get acquainted with this strong man, he has found many excuses, to stay in this Guo Mansion temporarily, and the chief housekeeper of Guo Mansion is speechless.
However, he also knew that the person in front of him was the lord's honored guest, so he didn't dare to offend, not to mention that there was a reason to drive the guests out, so Su Chen was cheeky and stayed in this Guo Mansion, the purpose of course was that the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
