(PS: There are more than ten chapters in the first volume of this book that are coming to an end, the political struggle of the Han Dynasty will enter the most intense stage, and Guan Yi's political career is about to usher in a new starting point. ）

Guan Yi laughed, adding a little love and pity in his heart. When An Niang went far, Guan Yi called Zhou and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou, An Niang told me, Ming'er also bought a few better clothes for herself, it won't cost a few dollars, don't lose yourself." ”

"No, it's okay, Engong, I still have clothes to wear!" Zhou bit his lip, knowing that An Niang "betrayed" herself, she was angry and relieved in her heart, this child only told her before returning home, and asked her not to tell anyone, and in a blink of an eye, she told Guan Yi in front of her.

Guan Yi waved his hand and said solemnly: "That's it, Ming'er will go and buy it!" He knew Zhou's uneasiness, the people in the mountains and wilderness couldn't wear a new dress all year round, let alone a good brocade dress, Zhou's life of hard work, hardship and habituality, suddenly no longer worry about food and clothing, think about it for a while is really not used to it. If he doesn't give a death order, I'm afraid that the Zhou family will still not buy it.

Sure enough, Zhou saw that Guan Yi's face was pure, and he didn't dare to insist anymore, so he had no choice but to nod and answer, although this was the case, he was greatly moved in his heart, and secretly sighed that he didn't know what kind of merit he had cultivated in his previous life, and he met such a noble person in this life.

It was the second watch of the night, everything was quiet, after Shi Feng said goodbye to Guan Yi, he quietly left the Guan Mansion through the back door, sneaking along the way, avoiding the Yu Lin Guard who was patrolling several times, and arrived in front of Chen Yu's mansion in a short time.

After the wind went around to the door of the house, he stuck to the corner of the wall and listened for a long time, and after confirming that there was no one, he immediately jumped up on the wall, but saw that a row of houses in front of him were brightly lit, and the roof was emitting green smoke. Shi Feng immediately guessed that the row of houses must be the backyard kitchen, and he was secretly happy in his heart, there were still people busy at this time, obviously there must be people in Chen Yu's mansion eating.

After thinking about it, he jumped off the courtyard wall and leaned in silently under the cover of the night. Sure enough, through a hole in the window lattice, I could clearly see that several maidservants in the kitchen were cooking on the fire, extremely busy.

Shi Feng was sure in his heart, and was about to go around the front hall, but he heard a maid who was lighting a fire under the stove yawning and muttering: "This midnight three watches, but a group of wild men came out of nowhere, and they still have to clean up the wine and food to serve them, but they trapped me!" ”

A maidservant girl who was chopping vegetables on the side yawned and continued: "Alas, no, it's freezing this day, and I'm sleeping sweetly, and I'm going to get up and serve people again!" ”

"You two should complain a little less!" A woman about thirty years old, quite a bit of a beautiful woman took out two steamed greasy roast chickens from the cage drawer, saw the servants complaining, frowned slightly, and said: "I can tell you, those people are all fierce and vicious, at first glance they are some outlaws, you have to be careful, if you annoy them, I am afraid that the prince will punish you again!" ”

"I'm afraid that Chunlan can't wait for the prince to punish him!" The maid who was chopping vegetables grinned, and her expression was unexpectedly full of emotion.

"Sao * hoof, you are no better, haven't you been fed by the prince last night? Now I'm talking crazy and making fun of people! The maid who lit the fire under the stove raised her head and smiled disapprerovingly, Shi Feng saw that she was also very standard by the light of the lamp, but there was a little more prodigal color between her eyebrows.

Shi Feng smiled secretly, he didn't expect that the maids in the Chen Mansion were all prodigal, I was afraid that most of the sons in their mouths were Chen Yu, if this was the case, Chen Yu was really not a righteous gentleman.

The older woman also smiled when she heard this, her apricot eyes were full of spring, and she laughed coquettishly: "I saw Gongzi in the yard this morning, and I saw that his legs and stomach were trembling, I must have slept with Xiangqin last night, right?" In my opinion, Xiangqin is becoming more and more favored by the son! ”

"Sister Hong, why did you team up with Chunlan to bully me?" The maid who chopped vegetables snorted, and when she heard the woman named Sister Hong mention last night, her pretty face was inexplicably red, and then she laughed again, but the action of chopping vegetables in her hand slowed down.

The woman named Sister Hong put the two roast chickens into two plates and said with a smile: "Chunlan, you and I will serve this plate of roast chicken to the prince first, don't let them wait!" ”

"Sister Hong is distressed!" The maidservant girl named Chunlan stood up from under the stove, reached out and stroked the hair hanging down from her forehead, and walked over to pick up the plate, but the woman named Sister Hong reached out and pinched her buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Lang * hoof, more and more watery!" ”

Chunlan said "ouch", the roast chicken in her hand almost fell to the ground, and she unwillingly reached out and pinched Sister Hong's waist, giggling and running out quickly.

Shi Feng listened to the meat words of several of them, and laughed secretly in his heart. Seeing the two of them come out, they tapped their toes, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the dark corner of the wall, and when Sister Hong and Chunlan walked to the front hall with the roast chicken one after the other, they then chuckled lightly and tiptoed behind.

The Chen Mansion was huge, and Shi Feng followed the two maidservants around the world, and it took a while to go through the corridor and go around to the front hall. I saw that the lights were on, and the voices of people were boiling, and it was obvious that many people were eating, drinking, and laughing.

Shi Feng saw the two maids enter the front hall, and then hid in the dark of the flowers under the eaves and waited patiently, and after a while, he saw the two maids holding empty plates and retreated, and was about to lean up, when suddenly he saw two men dressed as house slaves walking by the corridor on the left, each holding a jar of wine in his hand, and went straight to the front hall.

Shi Feng frowned slightly, it seemed that there were servants and slaves in the house coming to serve in this front hall from time to time, and it would be extremely risky to eavesdrop on them by the window lattice under the eaves. After sweeping around, I saw that there was a cypress tree with lush branches on the side of the cloister when I came, almost connected with the cloister, and I suddenly had an idea in my heart.

After the two house slaves came out, Shi Feng stood up from among the flowers and went around to the cypress tree, climbed to the top of the tree like a monkey in a few strokes, and then jumped up to the cloister, and then jumped on the roof. He was slender and cautiously followed the light to the antechamber without making the slightest sound.

Slowly unveiled the tiles on the roof, but saw that more than ten banquets were lined up in the brightly lit front hall, and more than 20 men with different figures and swords hanging from their waists were gathering together to guess and drink, without noticing that someone was peeping on the roof. Shi Feng glanced at it, and was secretly horrified in his heart, among the more than ten people, he knew more than half of them, all of them were the ** giants who were rampant and domineering in the Guanzhong area, as for the others who didn't know, they were not ordinary people, otherwise they would not have been bought by Chen Yu and thrown into his hands.

On the desk at the head of the front hall, there was a handsome, about thirty years old, revealing a feminine temperament, although Shi Feng didn't know him, but he also guessed that this person wanted to be the owner of this mansion, Huangmen Shilang Chen Yu.

was pondering, but I heard the man at the first desk on the left stand up with a wine bowl and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to Lord Chen, I look up to us, good wine and good food are treated, according to the following opinion, I should wait for a bowl of respect to Lord Chen!" ”

This man is eight feet long, with a bearded face and a strong voice, so his momentum is extremely terrifying. Shi Feng recognized this person's name as Shi Tianhu, who was a well-known Jiangyang thief in Guanzhong, who lived alone, killed people like hemp, and was known as a tyrant in Guanzhong.

"Yes, Lord Chen can afford to wait for us, so he should drink this bowl full!" On the desk on the first one on the right, a man with a burly figure and strange costumes, who was less than thirty years old, spoke loudly. Fang Cai kept his head down to drink and eat, so Shi Feng didn't notice it, but after standing up at this time, Shi Feng could see it clearly, frowned, and secretly didn't expect Chen Yu to even invite this person.

It turned out that this person's surname was Lei Mingbao, and he was the grandson of Lei Ding, who was handsome. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the range of activities of the Di people has roughly started from Longxi in the west, to Guangwei in the east, and to the source area of the Han River and Fujiang River in the north of Minshan Mountain in the south. In the sixth year of Yuan Ding (111 B.C.), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che decided to open up the southwest border with the growing strength of the Di people, and sent Zhonglang to lead Guo Chang to defeat the king of Di and surrender more than 300,000 people. Emperor Wu placed Wudu County, migrated to it, but the Di people were squeezed out and suppressed by the Han people, and had to gradually turn to Hexi and Guanzhong, Longshan.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes have been divided, and the melee has been fighting for many years, and the Di people have also taken the opportunity to rise, and finally gradually formed four separatist forces in the Wudu area, such as Agui, the king of Xingguo, Yang Qian, the king of Baiqing, Lei Ding, the king of Xiabian, and Dou Mao, the king of Hechi. After the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, the four kings of Di each had more than 10,000 troops at this time, and they did not belong to each other, each of them was dominant, and they did not belong to Han, Wei, and Wu.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (211 AD), Cao Cao wanted to use troops in Hanzhong, and Xiliang Ma Chao and a group of Yi Shuai suspected that Cao Cao was plotting against Guanzhong, so the coalition army resisted, and the four kings of Di were also among them. Two years later, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to Guanzhong, and the following year he broke the Ma Chao coalition army, Ma Chao was poor, and then went south to Hanzhong to temporarily live in Zhang Lu, and in the twentieth year of Jian'an (215 AD), he invited himself to return to Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor.

At that time, the battle of Guanzhong, the four kings of Di also suffered heavy losses, when the Wei army pressed the border, Yang Wan, the king of Baiqing, entered Shu with Ma Chao, and the remaining three kings surrendered to the Wei army, Xingguo Di Wang Agui, Hechi Di King Dou Mao was immediately relocated to Fufeng, Nan'an and Tianshui and other places. Only the king of Xia Di, Lei Ding, was able to stay. During this period, although the Di people of the Lei Ding Department went through three large-scale migrations in the 24th year of Jian'an (219 AD), the 25th year of Jian'an (220 AD) and the first year of Cao Wei (240 AD), they still left more than 3,000 Di people in Xiazhi.

Di people live in advocating martial arts, people in the clan practice riding and shooting, so Di people come out of heroes, it is said that Lei Leopard is talented, infinite strength, practice bow and horse martial arts since childhood, at the age of fifteen years in the clan has been invincible, there is really the courage of ten thousand people. But this person has a violent personality and behaves perversely, and after Lei Ding's death, he was even more disobedient to discipline, so he was never compatible with the elders of the clan. Although Shi Feng had never fought with him, seeing his fierce figure at this time, Chen Yu regarded him and Shi Tianhu as the upper seat, and knew that this person must not be an easy person.
