Hu Yong can stay to eat, but Zhang Hao is very happy, personally cook and stir-fry, and personally accompany the wine, in Zhang Hao's eyes, Hu Yong is the guarantee of Zhang Xiang's future career, of course, he has to stammer.

It's a pity that Zhang Hao overestimated Hu Yong's drinking, and after a few rounds Hu Yong turned to the bottom of the table, which made Zhang Hao feel quite surprised, and the next day Hu Yong left Zhuoxian in a daze.

Zhang Xiang secretly found Zheng Gang, Zheng Gang knew that Zhang Xiang must have something big to find her, Zhang Xiang: "After the Ma family left Zhuo County, they went to Fangcheng in the neighboring county to settle down, Zheng Gang, what I asked you to do is to go to the Ma family and find out Ma Kui's hiding place." ”

Zheng Gang: "Childe, this doesn't seem to be simple!" ”

Zhang Xiang: "I don't need to look for you if it's simple, Zheng Gang, you are different from your eldest brother, you are a person who knows how to use your brains, your future achievements must be higher than your eldest brother, but if a person wants to do something, he must show his value, right?" ”

Zheng Gang: "Childe is testing me?" ”

Zhang Xiang: "That's right, you also know some of my things, you should guess what I want to do, if you want to follow me, do your best, if you don't want to, I didn't say what I said today." ”

Zheng Gang: "What should I do next after knowing Ma Kui's whereabouts?" ”

Zhang Xiang: "Tell Hu Yong about Ma Kui's whereabouts, and the next thing will depend on him, in fact, I don't have the energy to care about Ma Kui, as long as Ma Kui doesn't bother me within three years." ”

Zheng Gang: "Childe, why don't you do it once and for all?" ”

Zhang Xiang: "Ma Kui's force is not weaker than my eldest brother, in addition to his resourcefulness, is he a difficult guy, or I don't want to lose my strength in three years, as for why, it's not for you to ask." ”

Zheng Gang set off without saying a word, he knew that when he walked out of the door, he would be tied to Zhang Xiang from then on, of course, this was his willingness, not just to repay the favor, he saw the hope of the future in Zhang Xiang.

Zheng Gang came from a humble background, and was bedridden for many years, and there was an ambition in his heart that pushed him to build a career, Zhang Xiang's appearance allowed him to survive and gave him full trust, Zheng Gang had already decided to follow Zhang Xiang in his heart.

When Zheng Gang went to Linxian to inquire about the news, Zhang Xiang heard another unexpected news, that is, Liu Bei returned to Lousang Village, Liu Bei has been gone for more than three years, and Zhang Xiang almost forgot that there is this person.

Zhang Xiang and Liu Bei have at least two years of friendship, both logical and moral, to visit the door, the next day Zhang Xiang with gifts to visit Liu Bei in Lousang Village.

Liu Bei was also very surprised to see Zhang Xiang, although Zhang Xiang was his classmate, but the two rarely interacted with each other, and the relationship with his eldest brother was very stiff, and the two sides should not have any intersection.

But in the past few years, Liu Bei has been away from home, and he has been a lot more tactful, and he doesn't show anything on his face, "Senior brother is here, you look at the sudden arrival of junior brother, there is no preparation for brother, you come in and it's cold outside." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Senior brother is polite, after all, we have been classmates for two years, I must come to visit when you come back, I heard that senior brother has been studying with Senior Brother Gongsun in the past few years, why not a certain official and a half-job." ”

Liu Bei: "It's hard to say!" Brother Gongsun's father-in-law broke the law because of the incident, and was assigned to Rinan, and the senior brother followed and served by his side, and the senior brother didn't want to be involved, so I gave me a piece of money to send me away, and I left the senior brother and traveled abroad for half a year before I came back. ”

Zhang Xiang: "Senior Brother Gongsun's personality is really admirable, but it's a pity that Senior Brother's future is a pity." ”

Liu Bei: "Senior brother's future has not been ruined because of this, I heard that after I left, Liu Taishou, who has been escorted by my senior brother, was pardoned by the imperial court on the way, and my senior brother was also promoted to filial piety because of his virtue, and he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong, which can be regarded as a good person with good rewards." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Things are really going round! Do you have any plans for the senior brother when he comes back? ”

Liu Bei: "My mother is old and sick, and my brother has not fulfilled her filial piety in the past few years, and I want to take good care of my mother at home." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Senior brother knows that the younger brother's family is quite solid, if the senior brother encounters any difficulties in life, he can come to Zhuo County to find me, and the younger brother will definitely help." ”

Liu Bei: "Then I have thanked my junior brother here." ”

Zhang Xiang left, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Xiang's distant figure, and felt more unwilling, my Liu Beisheng was a relative of the Han family, and in the end he had to be reduced to the point of being helped by his classmates, which is really sad and lamentable! At this time, Liu Bei's ambition in his heart was even greater.

When Zhang Xiang saw Liu Bei this time, he felt that Liu Bei had changed a lot, he had lost the arrogance and unruliness of his youth, but he was more calm and introverted, and he knew that Liu Bei was getting closer and closer to the late Han Dynasty hero in history.

At this time, Zhang Xiang's heart also ignited a fighting spirit, Liu Bei, I must be no worse than you in this life, you are not at home now, but I am rising like the sun, and I will know only by comparing the high and low in the future.

Zhang Xiang returned home and couldn't walk around calmly for a long time, Zhang Fei: "Third brother, do you have anything to worry about?" Didn't you visit Liu Bei today? Why did he mess with you? ”

Zhang Xiang: "That's not it, I just feel that Liu Bei has become very different." ”

Zhang Fei: "How different it can be, it's not the virtue of that prodigal, I can knock him down with one punch." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, you! It's still an old problem, don't look down on Liu Bei. However, after Zhang Fei's interruption, Zhang Xiang's mood was much happier, and the depression in his heart gradually disappeared.

Two days later, Zhang Xiang's body also recovered, and he took Zhang Fei back to Houfeng Pavilion, and the snow on the road gradually turned into ice.

It has been almost a month since Zhang Xiang left the Houfeng Pavilion, and the houses in the pavilion have fallen with snow, turning into a village pavilion rendered with snow, which also has a unique flavor, although there are still some frozen blood stains on the side of the road.

Zhang Xiang looked at the bloodstains on the side of the road, and knew that the last time the homeless people attacked and disturbed, it was not as light as Zhang Fei said, for the sake of Zhang Fei's face, Zhang Xiang did not break it immediately, what he wanted to know most now was how many people had lost in the pavilion.

Of course, Zhang Xiang came back to celebrate, and Zheng Ang also served his best dog meat, because the snow was heavy, and there were few dogs under his hands, if it wasn't for the banquet Zhang Xiang, he would be reluctant to take the dog out?

Zhang Xiang saw Fanhe, he is also injured now, Zhang Xiang: "Old Fan! The last time the homeless people attacked and disturbed, how many people were lost in our pavilion, don't hide it from me, this matter is easy to investigate. ”

Although Zhang Fei blindly looked at him, Fanhe still explained honestly, which is what Zhang Xiang admires most about Fanhe, no matter who is involved, he will tell the truth.

Fanhe: "Third Young Master, there were a total of more than sixty people lost in the last time. This number exceeded Zhang Xiang's expectations, he didn't expect that his subordinates would have such losses, if you add the number of people lost by Zhao Li's incident last year, it means that his own strength has not increased but decreased and lost more than 100 people.

Zhang Fei: "Third brother, this is not a matter, how can there be immortals in war." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, this is not a matter, so what else is the matter?" You taught me that the opponent is not a strong enemy, but a hungry outcast, so to speak, a rabble, which means that we are about the same as the rabble. ”

Zhang Fei: "That's not the case, only a small part of the more than 60 people who died were young and middle-aged, and most of them were old and weak women and children. ”

Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, I don't want to listen to these useless explanations, the result I saw was that our people were too poor, so I decided to give me more training in martial arts except for farming." ”

Zhang Fei saw that Zhang Xiang was serious, and he didn't want to turn back, Zhang Xiang: "How did you deal with those corpses?" ”

Fanhe: "Childe, the corpses are buried on the spot, and they are also considered to be in the ground." ”

Zhang Xiang: "I'm talking about the corpses of those displaced people?" ”

Fanhe: "Gather together and hang outside." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Nonsense, it's okay to say in winter, but in the spring, civilizing those corpses will cause a plague, burn it!" The atmosphere of Zhang Xiang's meal was very depressing, and everyone felt that Zhang Xiang had changed a lot and had more majesty when he came back this time.

Zhang Xiang didn't feel this himself, maybe it was because of Ma Kui's forbearance, maybe it was Liu Bei's growth, Zhang Xiang knew the reality, understood that this is not a game that can be started again, if it fails, he will really die, Zhang Xiang has the love of his family in this life, these are not Zhang Xiang can enjoy in his previous life, he cherishes all this very much, of course, he is even more reluctant to give up.

The end of the Han Dynasty was a troubled era of eating people and not spitting out bones, since you don't want to give up, of course, you can only fight, understand these truths, know what you want, Zhang Xiang's mentality has changed, and of course his temperament has also changed.

Zhang Xiang also felt that his words were a little heavier, "What's wrong with everyone, eat vegetables!" I heard that Zheng Ang has been very deductible recently, and it is not easy to deduct a piece of meat from his mouth, so don't waste it. ”

After Zhang Xiang said this, the atmosphere at the banquet became more familiar, and everyone had something to say, as if nothing had happened, in fact, everyone had a little more jealousy of Zhang Xiang in their hearts.

Although this jealousy is insignificant, he will slowly sprout and grow in the hearts of everyone, and finally grow into a towering tree, and then this jealousy will become loyalty to Zhang Xiang.

After the feast was over, everyone dispersed, Fanhe also obeyed the order, went to burn the corpses of the homeless, and it happened that it was the north wind that day, and the bodies of the homeless people were also easy to ignite, the fire burned bigger and bigger, and the smell of the corpses also spread with the wind in the pavilion.

Zhang Xiang smelled this smell, and could only secretly scold Fanhe in his heart for being a fool, can't he choose a downwind outlet if he burns something? I just chose an upwind outlet, who should this behold! can only sigh that there are too few talents around him.
