On the avenue, Liu Bei glanced at the young man who was being held in his arms.

There is nothing surprising about it, and I can't see the so-called hawkish wolf Gu half of the look.

He slapped his forehead hard, and suddenly remembered something. Only then did I realize that I was wrong.

Sima Yi's word Zhongda, the ancients arranged the year teeth with Uncle Zhongji, so there should be a brother above Sima Yi.

"I often hear people say that the Sima Lang son of the Sima family was born with a miracle, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. But at the age of three or four years old, at a glance, he looks like he is seven or eight years old, which is really amazing. ”

Several Qiantou on the side were also whispering about this Sima Gongzi.

The Sima family in Wenxian County has been a famous family of scholars who have been getting along for generations. For these Qianshou who are stepping on the yellow mud all day long and burying their heads in the fields, they are naturally big people who are far away in the sky.

"Hey, what a Sima family, it's really majestic, didn't you start by betraying the master?" Guan Yu sneered.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop him, he naturally knew what Guan Yu meant, Sima Wei, the ancestor of the Sima family, changed hands several times between Chu and Han back then, so he was naturally not a good person.

I didn't want the middle-aged man who was holding the child to leave just now, but sent the guards around him to put a wooden case on the side of the road.

This person asked Sima Lang to sit behind the wooden table, and his own family stood aside.

Sima Lang was still young, and after sitting down, he couldn't stop looking left and right.

"You should all know the name of my Wen County Sima family. The head of the family, Sima Gong, has always been benevolent, and this time the son went out, first, to relax, and secondly, to administer justice for you. ”

"Whether it's a short matter in the family, or a big thing in the local high-ranking family, you can talk to my son-in-law, and I will be able to repay you justice. You don't have to be afraid, with the decision of my Sima family, no one will dare to take revenge afterwards. The middle-aged man was quite arrogant in his words, as if what the Sima family had done was a great charity.

The crowd around to watch the excitement was noisy for a while, listening to this person's words, the Sima family is going to uphold justice for them?

This hasn't happened in years. However, some elderly people vaguely remember that the elders in their families seemed to have mentioned it back then.

Liu Bei and the others stood aside and watched coldly.

"What does Yun Chang think?"

"I think it's just a means to invite people to buy hearts and hopes, it seems that the Sima family wants to pave the way for this Sima Gongzi as soon as possible."

Liu Bei nodded, Han Yiju investigated officials with filial piety and honesty, and if he wanted to enter the official career, he would inevitably have to make some "different behaviors" that were different from ordinary people. Whether it is a family or a high family, it is also not exempt from vulgarity.

Taking a step back, even if the family is a powerful family, there is no need to use this name to enter the officialdom. But if you want to blend in with the scholars, you have to have a clean name.

The name of innocence is far more important among scholars than imagined.

Guan Yu said suddenly: "The Sima family is so ostentatious, aren't you afraid of meeting someone you can't provoke?" ”

"This is Hanoi, and the Sima family has been operating here for many years, and there are only not many people who can't afford to provoke them. Besides, is their so-called upholding justice really justice for these powerless and powerless leaders? I can't see it. ”

Liu Bei smiled sarcastically, in the eyes of some rich and noble people, maybe the justice sought by the poor people was nothing more than some dispensable silver money in their eyes. As for those people, whether they lost their relatives or starved to death in the fields, what did it matter to them?

Just look at the middle-aged man sent out by the Sima family to be in charge of the recklessness like this, what is the family style of the Sima family, you can know if you don't see it, no wonder there is a Sima Yi who looks at the wolf and looks at the wolf.

Liu Bei smiled: "It's really a good Sima family." ”

-------------------------------------

Gao Shun looked at the old man in front of him, he was here for him, but for some reason, now looking at Hao Meng, he feels a little strange.

"Why, I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Shun doesn't even know the old people?" Hao Meng lowered the hand holding the hat and smiled casually.

Gao Shun has always been a straight person, "Ah Meng, you seem to have changed a lot over the years. What have you been through? ”

Although he had never held a blade, the murderous aura on Hao Meng's body could not be concealed, which was very different from the benevolent young man in Gao Shun's impression.

Hao Meng looked at him a few times and said with a smile: "I've changed?" What is the world now? Haven't you seen it yet? Ah Shun, I think you have lived too peacefully in peace over the years. In this world, wolves want to eat people, dogs want to eat people, and even sheep want to eat people. You don't kill people, but others want to kill you. ”

Speaking of this, Hao Meng has unconsciously held the ring knife on his waist, over the years, even when he falls asleep at night, he has to hold the handle tightly, and if he is not careful, he may die on the spot.

"I had just left my hometown, and I was young and vigorous, so I went to Bingzhou in my heart. Ah Shun, you haven't been to Bingzhou, if you did, you would think that I am still too kind-hearted now. ”

"In the land of Banzhou, most of them are not Han Chinese, and everywhere they are all fighting grounds, the so-called benevolence and righteousness, the so-called morality, are of no use. If you want to live, it all depends on whether the long knife in your hand is sharp. ”

Gao Shun was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "How the world is, it shouldn't be the reason why you should be. ”

Hao Meng glanced up at Gao Shun's expression, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, Ah Shun, you are different from me, maybe even if you are in Bingzhou, you Gao Shun can still be a good person, but I Hao Meng can't." If I hadn't gotten acquainted with the current class of brothers, Hao Meng would have fed the goshawks in the desert and the wild wolves on the grassland, and there might not be even a bone left. ”

"Now that you and I are on different paths, we should go our separate ways. Ah Shun, you can't walk this road I walked. ”

"You're driving me away?" Gao Shun smiled bitterly.

He traveled thousands of miles to Chaoge to find Hao Meng, but he didn't want to end up like this.

It's just that he also knows that Hao Meng doesn't want him to be like him.

"It's really a big drama that makes people cry, and I regret it. Ah Meng, your brother is not bad. ”

At the end of the alley, someone stood behind the wall and chuckled.

The man never appeared, but his shadow was reflected in the sunlight on the wall, nine feet high.

The man smiled: "Okay, Ah Meng, after talking about the old days, we should also go to work." ”

Hao Meng put the hat on his head again, and looked at Gao Shun instead, "Ah Shun, go back and do your honest person, you and I, we are not the same." ”

He walked to the exit on the other side of the alley, and as the tall man left, Gao Shun was the only one left in the alley.

The old people in the past were going to part ways when they met after many years.

Gao Shun was silent for a long time, and finally could only sigh.
