Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Taoyuan Righteousness
After three glasses of wine, the few people I just met became acquainted. At that moment, the conversation box was also opened, and the young man who was in the age of enthusiasm talked about national affairs while talking about the topic.
Perhaps it was the act of alcohol that aroused the passion of a few young people in a moment, and several people in the discussion were also unscrupulous, scolding the corrupt officials and scolding the emperor for being mediocre. At the moment, they will pick up whatever they say anyway, and fortunately no one reported them, otherwise they would have killed a few times with these drinking words.
Somehow, a few people said, and quickly talked about the Xianbei Koubian incident not long ago. As soon as they said this, Tai Shici, who had already drunk high, and Tong Fei, who was at the age of showing off, told the story of several people who killed the chieftain for thousands of miles.
Listening to the two nonsensical words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't listen to it as a real thing, thinking that they were all drunk and blowing nonsense. However, Tai Shi Ci received the contemptuous eyes of the two, and immediately threw out the armor seized in the package, as well as sacks full of gold and silver.
When they saw this scene, both of them were stunned, especially Zhang Fei, who secretly scolded Fang Cai for still wanting to rob people, didn't he see that people were thieves?
But then his mood changed again, and he hated that he hadn't met a few people earlier, and now he realized that he really missed the moment of blood boiling, and also missed the opportunity to rob good horses.
"What, Yide, Ci Ke is talking big, you haven't seen that those so-called Xianbei elite soldiers and strong generals have become wild dogs running away with their tails between their tails after seeing a few of us. Not to mention, at least two or three hundred Xianbei dogs died under Ci's guns in this battleγγγ" Tai Shici, who was crumbling, said ostentatiously while hugging Zhang Fei.
"Brother Ziyi, did you say less, our brother lost at least two or three thousand men and horses in this battle, not to mention the other first war horses stepping on the enemy camp, didn't you kill hundreds of Xianbei dogs?" Tong Fei, who was also drunk and couldn't get any better, said boastfully with a wine vat in one hand and Tai Shici's shoulder in the other.
"Hahaha, who remembered who I killed when I was patronizing, and I started to bet with Bo Xiao who killed more! In the end, who remembers the count. However, Ci is still self-aware, and he is still inferior to Boxiao's killing god. Tai Shi Ci said with a grin.
"The two of you are still not allowed to fly, and they all say that they are mysterious, and they all say that they are in the mood to fly to kill the enemy." Zhang Fei scratched his head, pushed away the two boastful and drunken people, and then walked to Zhao Yun, who was slightly gentle, and said: "Look at how humble you are from Zilong, look at how modest people are, how can you be so swaggering, as if you are the most powerful in the world, come to Zilong, let's drink." β
"Hahaha, why is Yide moved?" Zhao Yun, who had a crimson face, took the wine handed over by Zhang Fei and said with a smile.
"Don't be excited, Fei is like killing a few aliens at once, see what it's likeγγγ" Zhang Fei tore open his swollen red chest and said loudly, and after speaking, he directly lifted a jar of wine and drank it wildly.
Jiang Qi, who was also confused on the side, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but get up and walk to the main seat with the help of alcohol and said loudly: "Everyone, it's rare to meet so many like-minded friends today, I don't know if there is a word to say."
"Brother Boxiao bluntly said that there are no outsiders here,", seeing Jiang Qi's performance, Guan Yu straightened up and replied.
"Bo Xiao said directly, I don't like my mother-in-law and mother-in-law" Zhang Fei, who had been poured through, wiped the wine on his face and said with a big grin.
"I heard Senior Brother Yun say just now. Usually he does some business in the market, and Yide also sells meat in the market, I don't know if it's not."
"It's exactly γγγ" mentioned the way to make a living, Guan Yu's heart lowered a little.
"Yes, my old Zhang is a butcher," compared to Guan Yu's loneliness, Zhang Fei agreed with a single person.
"Then Qi wants to ask the two brothers, since they are both martial arts, why don't they go to make a career, but they are willing to be happy in this small county!" Looking at their different expressions, Jiang Qi asked thoughtfully, when he saw Guan Yu's appearance just now, he knew that he should be a person with a story.
"Who said I wanted to stay in this small place, Lao Zhang also wanted to make a name for himself when he learned art. But later, the parents died early, leaving one asset for me to take care of, and this back and forth was wasted, but today I saw a few brothers, and Lao Zhang Xinke lived again! Hahaha," Zhang Fei said with emotion as soon as he threw the wine jar.
"That Yide is burdened by the family, where is Brother Yun?" Jiang Qi listened to Zhang Fei's narration, and then looked at Guan Yu who was contemplative.
Looking at Jiang Qi's sincere gaze, Guan Yu also opened his heart suddenly, and said after a sigh: "Hey, that's it, since I have met a confidant, Yu doesn't want to hide." Yu, originally from Jieliang County, Hedong, had parents who died early. Now there is a wife and two sons in the family. β
"Originally, there were still a few acres of thin fields at home, and life was considered happy, but who would have thought that a bully in the township had a pavilion chief who donated officials two years ago, so he began to expropriate the land under his jurisdiction. Yu couldn't get used to it for a while, so he chopped it up, but although he was angry, he committed a human life and had to leave Jingbei to come to this Zhuo County. β
"It's good to kill, isn't it just a country scoundrel! When you encounter this incident in the future, Senior Brother Yun greets, how many Ci will help you kill as many as you want! After listening to Guan Yu tell his story, Tai Shici, who has always remembered evil as a hate, immediately jumped up as soon as he slapped the food case, expressed his support for Guan Yu's actions, and applauded loudly.
"Yes, but it's a pity, Elder Brother Yun will have to live a life of outlaw in the future. Brother Yun has ever thought about it, is it worth exchanging the life of a scoundrel for the body of a man who stands up to the sky? As expected, Jiang Qi looked at Guan Yudao who was relieved of his burden, and although there was support in his words, there was also reprimand.
"Hmph," Guan Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Even so, Yu didn't regret it, at least in exchange for peace." β
In fact, Yun didn't quite agree with Brother Yun's approach. Yes, a moment of pleasure and enmity does eliminate harm for the people, but Brother Yun, can you guarantee that there will be no descendants for this scourge. Listening to Guan Yu's meaningless and sour words, Zhao Yun also tasted a little, and interrupted.
"As Zilong said, Senior Brother Yun is just safe for a while, maybe there are new wicked people endangering the township at this moment, and Senior Brother Yun's sister-in-law and children who have gone home are having a hard time, has my brother ever thought that he can actually do a little better." I didn't think that my junior brother would cooperate tacitly, Jiang Qi agreed.
"What's so good or bad, for bullies, the only way to do it is to fight violence with violence, and kill them until they no longer dare to do evil." Listening to Jiang Qi's sour words, Zhang Fei patted the food table to defend Guan Yu's point of view.
"As the saying goes, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and sometimes it is not necessary to use violence to defeat your enemy, didn't he buy a pavilion chief? As a capable person, why can't you be a bigger official than him to restrain him," Jiang Qi explained with a smile.
"Buy official γγγ" Guan Yu couldn't believe that such words could come from Jiang Qi's mouth. In his eyes, especially after hearing about the deeds of several of them who killed the enemy thousands of miles and avenged the victims, he had already introduced them as confidants. But now when I heard what Jiang Qi just said, my mood fell to the bottom, as if I had eaten a bedbug.
Jiang Qi saw that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "The difference between what Elder Brother Yun said, Qi is not talking about buying officials, but brother, can't you fight for fame with your martial arts?" Although corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the world are rampant and domineering, as a young force of the Han Dynasty, can we sit back and watch the collapse of the imperial court? β
"Brothers, we scolded the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, that is, we have a big man in our hearts, so as a young man with a plan, we should bear the rise and fall of the dynasty."
"Ohγγγ frightened Yu, Yu thought that Boxiao wanted to take the money to buy an official position, and he was in the same stream with those evil officials!" Guan Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after listening to Jiang Qi's words, and Jiang Qi's words also touched his heart.
"Where did Senior Brother Yun go, how could my senior brother be such a person. Besides, with my senior brother's skills, as long as he has the heart to serve the court, where can he still use his own money to buy officials. Tong Fei said with help on the side.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
"Brother Yun is serious," Jiang Qi didn't dare to help Guan Yu, who was bowing, and hurriedly went up to help Guan Yu, who was bowing, and said, after speaking, he also looked at Tong Fei, who was flushed, and said that he was talking too much, but in exchange for Tong Fei's grinning.
"But Yu was a little confused by Bo Xiao's question, what Bo Xiao just meantγγγ" Guan Yu asked suspiciously while twisting his beard after getting up.
"Qi means to say, since you are all heroes, naturally you will not be willing to die in the wilderness, can you ever think about making a meritorious deed, do something for the community, for the people, think that if my brothers become officials, even if they can't revitalize the government and the opposition, at least there will be a few fewer officials who harm the people."
"Being an official, of course. This doesn't mean that the prince and the prince will have another kind of thing, why can't I be a big official and ride a big horse. Zhang Fei, who was open-mouthed, said first.
"If it's not for some merit, then why do you want to learn literature and martial arts, the eldest husband should mention the three-foot sword Bo I fame" Tai Shici also echoed.
"Fei didn't think so far, I just didn't want my father to be disappointed, of course, it would be nice to be able to return home." Tong Fei also staggered to his feet and said.
"Although Yun doesn't have any big ambitions, after experiencing nine deaths a few days ago, he decided that he hopes to use what he has learned to change the world for peace." Zhao Yun is not as ambitious as others, but he is much more noble.
"It would be great if there was a peaceful world, although Yu is not noble, but I also hope to keep one side peaceful." Listening to everyone's wishes, Guan Yu's originally calm heart also rippled, and his narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed and made up his mind.
"Since you are all people with great ambitions, Qi might as well make a suggestion today, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Bo Xiao is γγγ to say" "Senior brother listens to you,"
"We meet today, as if it has been arranged in the dark, in that case, why don't we become brothers with different surnamesγγγγ what?" Looking around, Jiang Qi said expectantly.
"Good! I have this intention, and I can become brothers with many of you, and Lao Zhang can't ask for it. I didn't expect Jiang Qi to make such a suggestion, Zhang Fei was the first to applaud.
"Hahaha, Ci has long had this intention, and he has never been embarrassed to say it. It would be nice to be able to pray today. Tai Shi Ci agreed.
"That's very good, Yu also has this intention." Guan Yu also nodded in agreement.
"Isn't there another brother in Fei after that? But I hope I'm not the youngestγγγγγ" Tong Fei, who has suffered in the ranking since he was a child, laughed and said happily.
"I can become brothers with all the heroes, how can Yun object, then what are you waiting for to put on the incense case!" Zhao Yun also said enthusiastically.
"Haha, wellγγγ, there is a peach orchard in the backyard of my house now, and it is blooming brilliantly, why don't I wait for a peach orchard to get married?"
"Taoyuan Six Knots, hahaha, not badγγγγ"
With Zhang Fei as the master, the subordinates prepared the incense case and sacrifices after a while, and the brothers lined up in front of the bright peach forest, and they were ready to tie the knot Jinlan.
It stands to reason that Guan Yu, the eldest should be the eldest brother, but Guan Yu is not willing to be it, saying that he is used to being free and casual, and if he goes to work together in the future, he can't afford to take on a big responsibility.
Therefore, it is difficult to do now, this Guan Yu pushed, Tai Shici did not continue, only Zhang Fei cheekily said that he would be the eldest brother, but the result was naturally contempt.
In the end, everyone is still willing to recommend Jiang Qi as the leader, and they all say that he is a leader in front of everyone in terms of martial arts and ability, and he deserves his name.
However, Jiang Qi also felt embarrassed, he couldn't let Guan Yu and Tai Shici, who were a few years older than him, call him brother. It is best to discuss that since no one wants to be a big brother, the seat of the big brother will be vacant, and worship heaven and earth as a brother, so that the matter can be calmed down.
"The yellow sky is above, the thick soil is below, I Jiang Boxiao", "Guan Yunchang", "Zhang Yide", "Taishi Ziyi", "Zhao Zilong", "Tong Yuanyi"
"Today, I am married here as brothers with different surnames, and I do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year, and if I violate the heavens and the earth, I will destroy γγγγγγγ"
With three bows and nine knocks and drank the blood wine in his hand, several characters who would be powerful in the future were finally tied together. As brothers who are influenced by Confucianism and are benevolent and righteous, at this moment they are also destined to share honor and disgrace, life and death.
In the end, according to age, Tiandi is ranked as the eldest brother, Guan Yu is the second brother, Tai Shici is the third, Jiang Qi is the fourth, Zhao Yun is the fifth, Zhang Fei is the sixth, and Tong Fei is the youngest seventh.
After the ranking was completed, Jiang Qi finally glanced at the second brother Guan Yu, thinking that what appeared in his mind was still true, this Guan Yunchang was really the second in a thousand years!
