In a few moments, the two of them had already arrived at the Xun family's mansion.

It was a connected mansion that was inhabited by most of the members of the Xun clan. There are two stone carvings outside the door, and Xu Ji doesn't know what it is. Above the door of the mansion is the upright Xunfu inscription: "It's really a high-gate mansion!" Xu Ji said to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also looked up at the plaque, with a calm expression: "I'll get used to it after seeing a lot, there are a lot of such houses in Yingchuan County." ”

Xu Ji immediately shook his head and smiled: "Let's go in, let's go through the side door, the main entrance is inconvenient." ”

Guo Jia nodded and followed Xu Ji's footsteps.

The side door is not far from the corner, because Guo Jia is a frequent visitor, it is very easy to enter the Xun Mansion, the leader is a young man who looks like a scholar, at first glance is the descendant of a scholarly family, there is no difference in etiquette, Xu Ji made a look at Guo Jia beside him, Guo Jia blinked, a clear look, so Guo Jia stepped forward to the scholar who led the way and asked: "Where is Wen Ruo?" ”

The scholar replied respectfully: "The second prince is still greeting the guests, and he told the villain to take the two to his room for a while." ”

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Ji took a closer look at the surrounding environment, the Xun clan is really a big clan, although it is a side door, it is also very exquisite, and Xu Ji can see that there is no article here, the battlements on the wall, the thickened and heightened walls, all show that the Xun clan has been prepared, this is not only the core of the Xun clan, but also the fortress of the Xun clan, it is almost difficult to break through this high obstacle.

What's more obvious is that the little guys you see along the road are all strong people, obviously these people are not just small guys, they are afraid of picking up knives and guns and are also the masters of killing people and setting fires. Xu Ji couldn't help but smile, this Xun clan is just afraid that it is not for self-protection, maybe it actually has other plans.

There was nothing to say all the way, Xun Yu's residence was in the center of Xun's mansion, after all, he was Xun Qi's second son, and he was rarely famous, and he was called "Wang Zuozhicai" by the world since he was a child. Naturally, the Xun family is very optimistic about the next generation of Lu, so the residence is also in the core position, Xu Ji couldn't help but think of the so-called central theory, the closer to the core, the more dangerous it is, I'm afraid Xun Yu is low-key and knows this reason, he thought so.

The two sat down in Xun Yu's room, and after a while, they saw Xun Yu leading someone in, this person looked calm and even a little wooden, put aside his clothes, and put them in the market, I am afraid that I can't see the difference, this person is respectful, and he didn't wait for Guo Langzi to open his mouth and salute first.

Guo Langzi's face was inexplicable, this person looked at the age of the crown, he was the oldest in this room but saluted him backwards, Guo Fengxiao was stunned, Xun Yu immediately explained: "This is what I mentioned to you, my nephew, Xun You, Xun Gongda." ”

Guo Jia suddenly realized that this person is Xun Yu's nephew, and the two of them have a relationship with Xun Yu's peers, and they are born a generation older, this person is interesting, if he is changed, he is afraid that he will not be able to live or die with this ceremony. So Guo Jia also smiled and said, "Gongda? We are all equals, so we don't have to stick to these. Guo Jia looked at Xu Ji on the side, and saw that this person looked like an old god, as if he had known that this was the case.

In fact, where did Xu Ji know the Tao earlier, but he was just out of his mind, he really didn't believe that the plain guy in front of him who looked like a mediocre person in the market was the "mastermind" that Cao Cao later said, and it was really a person who could not be good-looking, you look at Guo Fengxiao's delicate skin, and you don't know how lazy he is.

Xu Ji was still empty, and Xun Yu had already beckoned Guo Jialai: "Where did Fengxiao and Wenlie come tonight?" ”

Guo Jia looked at Xu Ji again, still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, so he had to speak by himself: "Wen Lie said that there have been many scholars in the county guard recently, and there are rumors that the county guard has left his post soon, Wen Lie thought that there would be an incident in March or May, so he came to ask for protection. ”

Xun Yu smiled: "Sure enough, Wen Lie can also see the filth in this, this county guard was originally only expedient, but now several families in the county can't hold it back, they can't wait for Yingchuan to be in control of the applause from time to time, I'm afraid, hum ......" Xun Yu also snorted coldly, obviously looking down on these people for such an urgent action.

"Why rush?" Guo Jia was curious again.

"Wen Lie's appearance. Originally, as soon as Mr. Sima left, there was no one in Yingchuan County who could compete with them. In addition, when they heard that the party was about to be eliminated soon, these people were eager to become officials immediately, so they were naturally impatient. Now Wen Lie has inherited the mantle of Duke Decao, and this vast and poor student in Yingchuan County is headed by Mr. Decao, even if Wen Lie does nothing, just relying on the identity of a closed disciple is enough to incite these people to come. ”

"As Wen Ruo said, even if I stay in this Yingchuan City, even if I don't say anything, it is a hidden danger, the situation is becoming more and more tense, the people have already been dissatisfied, if you want to keep Yingchuan from chaotic, the current county guard will not be able to keep his official position, and most of the scholars and officials of the poor family are not in harmony with the family, my identity is even more embarrassing, I am afraid that the first thing the new county guard will do is to find a reason to take my life, and the wealthy families in this city will also be happy to help." At this time, Xu Ji finally spoke.

"What are Wen Lie's plans?" Xun You, who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked in the twilight.

Xu Ji smiled slightly: "The situation is stronger than people, I naturally want to hide, I think there are still many things between the family that are unclear about this matter." I haven't been able to free up my hands to find trouble with me, so I'll avoid the limelight first and learn to practice first. Originally, I was also expected to study abroad, but I left Yingchuan as soon as the new county guard took office, how big is this Central Plains? Where can't I go? ”

Xun You lowered his head and thought about it: "This is just an expedient measure, you have to come back." ”

Xu Ji smiled confidently: "When I turn around, this day, I'm afraid it has changed!" ”

Xun Yu also showed a contemplative look, with a sad look in his eyes, is the world really going to be chaotic? It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person.

Who wants to live a difficult life in troubled times, Xun Yu is unwilling, Guo Jia is unwilling, Xun You is unwilling, and Xu Ji is naturally unwilling, but the world is impermanent, a person is like an ant, unable to change the general trend.

Xu Ji lifted his spirits and said with a smile: "If I leave, this Guo prodigal son is afraid that Wen Ruo will bother, he is used to making trouble, you take care of it." I've given him all my fortune. "Anyway, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

Xun Yu was also amused to laugh out loud: "Ha Luha, I don't need you to say much, I am in Yingchuan for a day, Fengxiao should not think about making a living for a day." ”

Xun You also brushed his sleeves and laughed on the side, only Guo Langzi's face was full of displeasure, and he kept denouncing Xu Ji with words in his mouth.

Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past two months, Yingchuan City has been a mountain rain that is about to come, Xu Ji has not gone out much, hiding in his home every day, frantically absorbing the knowledge on the scrolls left by Sima Hui, and calling a few people to drink together in his spare time, although he is six years old, it is a massive, and almost all the mansions have been drunk by him, and Guo Langzi shouted Xu Qianbei when he met.

And on this day, Wen Bo told Xu Ji that someone wanted to see him, and he was one of the most important people in Sima Hui he had mentioned, Xu Ji suddenly became interested, he himself is also a free character, but the pressure has been huge recently, he can only be with books every day, and he has not been in contact with outsiders for a long time, only Xiaozhuang came to the house to ask for a crime in the past two months, Xu Ji also knew that this person could not be forced too hard, and he naturally wanted to give some sweetness, so he sent him back, Xu Ji also understood, but whenever something happened, these scoundrels were unreliable.

The young man in the lobby was magnificent, and he looked like he had indeed returned from a long journey, his face was dark, and his bones were thick, obviously he had real skills. Xu Ji observed this person with interest, and similarly, this person was also looking at Xu Ji, with a piercing edge in his eyes.

"Aren't you going to get your name first?" Xu Ji asked playfully.

The young man sitting at the bottom of the hall was stunned for a moment, and then spoke very arrogantly: "Chen arrives." ”

Xu Ji stood up: "You came here, could it be that you came here to see me?" Mingren doesn't say dark words, just say it, what tricks are there, Xu Ji continued. ”

Chen Zhi was completely calm: "Mr. Shuijing once had a kindness with me, I wanted to repay the kindness, but I came here to meet each other this time, but I don't want Mr. to be no longer here, I heard that you are a disciple of Mr., so you should naturally come to meet." The tone was full of rebelliousness.

Xu Ji laughed again, this person is still too young, and the squeeze outside the words is nothing more than that he feels that he has no ability, and he is not worthy of being a disciple of the old guy Sima, do you think I want to? If it weren't for a hot-blooded brain at that time, he would never have taken over this troublesome matter, and now the family can't return, and the situation that the door is not out of the door is the scourge left by this old thief.

"Chen Dao, don't you think I'm unworthy of Xu Ji?"

Chen Zhi didn't answer, but his expression didn't say anything, obviously, that's what he meant.

Xu Ji snorted coldly: "Reckless." ”

Chen Zhi erected: "Xu Ji, I respect you as a disciple of Mr., do you really think you are a great character?" ”

"Ha Luha, I didn't say anything, at least I'm not a reckless man who only knows how to use his fists and feet in vain. Do you know what a teacher wishes for in life? Do you know what Mr. wants in his life? It's ridiculous that you don't know anything and dare to speak wildly. ”

Chen Zhi's face flushed: "What do you know?" ”

"What Mr. wants in his life is to seek a way out for the world's poor scholars, I have limited talent and learning, but I am willing to do my best for this, but I am not like a reckless man like you, I only know fists, feet, knives and guns, and I will live the rest of my life."

Chen Zhidu laughed: "You little doll is really full of nonsense, you want to be the first in the world at a young age, there are many great sages and talents in the world, when will it be your turn to release this wild talk?" ”

Xu Ji looked directly at Chen Dao steadily, the sharpness in his eyes was like substance, and his originally thin body had a mountain-like momentum: "Although I am young, my talent is still insufficient, and my reputation is not obvious, but I have ambitions." ”

Chen Zhi was already a little contemptuous in his heart, and his mouth was still hard-mouthed, "I want to hear how ridiculous your grand wish is." ”

"Listen, I am willing to set my heart for heaven and earth, ask for my life for the people's livelihood, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"

Chen Zhi was shocked for a while when he heard this, and it happened to be a sudden thunder on a dry day, and it seemed that the sky was mighty, and Xu Ji's momentum rose a little, Chen Zhi finally relented and did not speak. Wen Bo also walked in, looking at the two people in the hall, the smile on his old face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

Virtue, Wen Lie really has great ambitions, and what you have learned in this life finally has a successor. I just don't know how far his ambition can take him.

Xu Ji confidently turned around and looked at the plaque hanging high in the hall, which read: Heart of the world
