Although Yingchuan County has gone through the Yellow Turban Rebellion, as the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is already a lot more prosperous and lively compared with the desolation of other places.

As the cultural center of the Han Dynasty, the people here are simple and simple, and the people who come and go, although they are small people in the streets, they are also humble and polite, and they are worthy of being the settlement of the people of the world.

The Han Dynasty has always paid attention to education, there are many academies in the world, the official is only Tai College, and the private one should be the first to recommend the Yingchuan Academy in Yangzhai, and nine out of ten celebrities in the world are related to it.

Yingchuan County is mostly mountainous, and Yingchuan Academy is also built against the mountains, and the academy is located on the outskirts of the city. It was originally a village of the wealthy Xun family in Yingchuan, and after the establishment of the academy, it was donated to make a school, and the current dean is Xun Ciming, the head of the Xun family.

The famous Yingchuan Academy has no tall walls, no gilded plaques, and no brass animal-faced door knockers, the low walls are painted snow-white, and a wooden door that has been old for a long time is open.

Above the main entrance, there is a wooden plaque with black and red letters, with four big words written on it: Yingchuan Academy, inscription: Mr. Shui Jing. The font is strong and powerful, red and black reflect each other, red as blood, black as the night sky, perfectly combined, calm and dignified.

Enter the gate, walk through the bluestone road, is facing a big house, the house is square, the blue bricks are built, there are carved tiles, the center of the house is a big incense case, the portrait of Confucius hangs behind the incense case, there are a few sticks of incense inserted in the brass incense burner, the cigarette smoke rises slowly, Zhejiang and Zhejiang are scattered.

Passing through the side door, it is the place to read, the low table is full of books, the cushions are scattered around, the beautifully shaped guqin is placed aside, and the strings are gently plucked, and the tone is mellow and crisp.

Unlike in the past, there are no students studying the classics in the academy today, but they are discussing things in twos and threes, and there are many talented people who have become quite famous.

"What? What problems did Mr. Today have for everyone, and the discussion is so intense? While everyone was discussing fiercely, a thin figure appeared in the courtyard of the house.

"Hahaha, I heard that Feng Xiao is living in seclusion in the upper mountain, why is he so free to come to me today!" Not long after the wedding, Chen Qun, who was full of spring breeze, greeted him first.

The person who came was none other than Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who had disappeared for more than half a year.

"I heard that Brother Changwen is proud of the spring breeze now! I'll have to ask for a glass of wine later. Guo Jia replied with a smile.

"Of course, if it weren't for our kind invitation today, Changwen would still be in the gentle township, right, Brother Zhongzhi??" , Xun Yu said to a thin literati with a weak crown.

Everyone didn't expect Xun Wenruo, who had always been unsmiling, to joke about Chen Qun, who had just married his own sister and became a family, and they all laughed and agreed.

"Yes! Changwen now has a wife, and he forgets about me and other friends! Xin Ping, who was called Zhongji, also said with a smile.

"If my brother is willing, my younger brother can let my mother talk about my brother's family affairs, presumably Brother Wen Ruo won't mind." , Xin Ping was a six-point similar person next to him, but he did not echo the two of them laughing at Chen Qun, but helped Chen Qun to say.

"Haha, it seems that Wen Ruo is right, good Xin Bi, Xin George, you are a quick-witted person, so quickly for the sake of your brother, there are many ideas to fight the women of the Xun family in the world, and now you start to rob it!" , said a literati with a shivering dress and a pale face among the people who finally gathered around.

The man was nearly thirty years old, and his thin, patched, and washed white clothes were a little out of place here, but no one present looked down on him.

Hearing the man's words, everyone laughed out loud.

"Brother Zhicai has always been good??" After putting away the smiling face, Guo Jia looked at the crumbling person in front of him with some concern and said.

"It's not the same as before, when the time comes, I won't see Fengxiao for many days, and my complexion will be good!" Xi Zhicai smiled and patted the little friend who was suffering from the same illness as him and said, maybe everyone is very weak, but the two have a better relationship in the academy.

"Oh!! Thanks to a friend I met in Luoyang, he prescribed a prescription for Jia after the diagnosis, and gave a method of spitting, practicing it in the morning and evening, but I don't need to take medicine for a year. Guo Jia smiled at his friend's body, which had become much sharper.

"Oh?? Is there such a strange person in the world that even innate deficiencies can be cured? Hearing that there was such a miracle doctor who could cure the disease, Xi Zhicai was stunned and showed a long-lost smile.

"There are so many strange people in the world, but that person is rare to see, Brother Zhicai should know who it is!" Chen Qun said after gesturing to Guo Jia.

"Oh, who is so good, Brother Changwen doesn't have to buy Guanzi!!" The young Simbi asked first.

"What the long article said won't be, Jiang Yiyang??" Xi Zhicai said after pondering for a while.

"No, it won't! That Jiang Yiyang is not an all-rounder! Xin Ping said in surprise.

"I've heard Gongda say a thing or two, but I didn't expect it to be the truth!" Xun Yu also said with some curiosity.

"I was present with Brother Gongda and Gu Yuansian that day, but it was true, I heard Boxiao say that when he was young, he had learned some medical skills with Tianzhu Mountain." Chen Qun said seriously.

"That long article is very familiar with Jiang Yiyang!" Xun Yu looked at Chen Qun with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to see through his body.

"But compared to Gongda running thousands of miles, the group is not as good as it." Chen Qun said with a noncommittal smile.

"Haha, who can guess Gongda's mind, although he looks dull and weak on the outside, but I can't wait for this decision." Xun Yu nodded in agreement.

"Is Brother Wen Ruo optimistic about Gongda's so-called??" Xi Zhicai said.

"The world is unpredictable, earlier Gongda admired Jiang Yiyang, everyone saw the writing but laughed at it, but who would have expected that Jiang Yiyang would be known as the Marquis of the world in just a few days." Xun Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Has Brother Zhicai made a decision?" Guo Jia looked at Xi Zhicai, who nodded yes, and asked.

"In fact, not only Zhong decided, but the two virtuous brothers Zhongzhi and George also made a decision, but now it seems that someone has taken the lead." Xi Zhicai smiled at Chen Qun and Guo Jia and said.

"Presumably Bo Xiao learned that Zhicai, Zhongzhi, and George must have been overjoyed to learn that the three brothers of Zhicai, Zhongzhi, and George, although Bo Xiao was born in a family, but I waited for the days of contact in Luoyang, he was more like a free and easy literati, giving people a very comfortable feeling and no worldly atmosphere, and several generals under his command were all born in the market, all relying on their hands to get to this day, I believe that with the three talents, they will soon be famous in the world." Chen Qun deliberately raised his voice and said, although he said it to Xi Zhicai, but the voice was loud enough to resound through the courtyard, and he knew that at this moment, he didn't know how many classmates wanted to get the news.

"In this way, Changwen is already running for Jiang Yiyang??" Xun Yu said with a smile.

"It's just that Qun is not a qualified lobbyist, after all, Wen Ruo, a person who is 'Wang Zuozhicai', will not be persuaded by Qun." Chen Qun replied with the same expression, he saw a lot in Xun Yu's eyes. After all, as a child of a family, it is not just an individual who represents.

"I'm afraid that at least Brother Wen Ruo is still tempted." Guo Jia added.

"Haha. For people who are optimistic about Changwen, Fengxiao, Gongda and Brother Zhicai, can Yu not pay attention to it? However, Yu is already preparing to report to Luoyang, if he can do so, please ask two introductions. Xun Yu seemed to say something and didn't say anything like a cunning fox, but this is enough for a smart person.

"Of course, we are also looking forward to working with Brother Wen Ruo, hahaha." Chen Qun said with a smile.

Although Jiang Qi is now a storm, but there are not many people who really dare to run thousands of miles when he is not as weak as the crown, but despite this, there are also a few far-sighted people who have made the final decision, and they know that it is definitely better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake.

They are Chen Changwen, Xi Zhicai, Xin George, and Xin Zhongzhi among the seven sons of Yingchuan who are talked about by later generations.

And Guo Fengxiao, who longed for Jiang Qi in his heart, was about to set off, and his family changed dramatically, and his mother suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away. Therefore, Guo Jia had no choice but to say goodbye to his friends and stay at home to keep filial piety for his mother, so his fate had many twists and turns.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Although Xun You's letter and Jiang Qi's performance have played a role, Jiang Qi doesn't know it now, and the complicated military affairs have made him can't wait.

After coming to Jingxian County, which had just been repaired for a day, Jiang Qi and Zhao Yun, the former army, took Zhang Fei to turn his horse's head and run towards Julu County in the southwest.

This time, Jiang Qi went to Julu, not to support the Guan Yu Department who suppressed bandits in Guangping, but to recover the two counties of Julu and Pingxiang near Guangping in Julu County, and Zhao Yun, who divided the army, crossed the southern rein and went straight to Zhizhuang (to Tujiaying) Tao in Julu County.

As for why Jiang Qi suddenly changed direction and went to attack the county seat that was originally planned to be pacified when Guan Yu went north, it was actually a spy who was in a col outside Julu City, and there was a famous man living in seclusion.

And the famous man is the famous man Jiang Qi asked the spies to investigate, but there has been no whereabouts of the giant deer, Tian Feng and Tian Yuanhao.

Tian Yuanhao, who was nearly forty years old, was well-informed, initially opened up as the Taiwei Mansion, and later raised Maocai, served as a royal envoy, two years ago saw the eunuch unauthorized dynasty, Yingxian was killed, and resigned and returned to his hometown after a fit of anger, and returned to the field.

Crossing the stream, looking at the rolling mountains and forests and the gurgling stream, Jiang Qi said thoughtfully: "Is this the place?" ”

"Yes, the inquiry is very clear, Mr. Maeda personally went to the market to buy books on the seventh day, and was followed here by our army spies. However, there are some evil sects here, and I have been here with sword guards, but I can't get in, and after halfway through, I began to spin around in place and almost couldn't get out, but the woodcutter who heard it said that there was a village inside, and there were more than 100 households living in it. ", Uncle Jiang Ren, the commander of the Sword Guard, said embarrassedly.

"Well, of course you can't go in, there is a gossip array here, if you don't know it, you will definitely go around in place." Jiang Qi smiled and nodded: "But it looks like a raw formation, and there are big flaws、、、、、

"Can the lord break this formation?" Xun You looked around curiously, but in addition to the trees and stones, what formation could be seen there.

"In the eyes of Qi, this kind of inferior formation is the class gate with an axe, follow me, remember that the first three intersections turn left, and the last three turn right and go out." Saying that, Jiang Qi dismounted and walked into the woods.

A group of more than ten people followed Jiang Qi slowly walking around the mountains and forests, although it was almost winter, but because most of the trees in the mountains and forests were evergreen, they didn't look so depressed.

Looking at the occasional flying chickadees and the wild animals collecting food for the winter, Jiang Qi felt a little like returning to the mountains for the years, and in the past, at this time, it was a good season for hunting.

However, for Jiang Qi's leisurely stroll, Xun You, who walked with soft feet, and the guards who were full of nervousness and kept pressing the handle of the knife, they were not so chic. Especially Xun You, who has always lived a fairly wealthy life, where has he walked such a long mountain road.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the dense mountain forest disappeared, and everyone suddenly opened up, and nearly 100 small courtyards in the narrow mountain col were distributed in an orderly manner.

At the time of eating, the smoke of the cooking stove rises, and the free-range chickens in the village can be seen everywhere, and three or five children are innocently playing. The fruit trees scattered with fruit hanging in the mountains show that they have lived a good life, compared with the wolf smoke and privateering in the outside world, this is a paradise on earth.

It's just that when Jiang Qi and his party walked into this place, all the peace here was broken. Seeing Jiang Qi and his entourage walking in with armor and a long knife at their waist, every house closed the door and locked it, and the children who were still playing outside did not react, so they were hugged back by the adults without saying anything.

It's no wonder that many of them took refuge from the giant deer, in the past, in their eyes, the Han army was a wolf and tiger, and they couldn't avoid it, but at this moment, these people didn't throw Jiang Qi and his party with rotten eggs, they were all benevolent and righteous.

However, seeing this, Jiang Qi and the others were a little puzzled, why they had always been welcomed everywhere they went, and why it became such a courtesy today.

"Young master, what's the matter, the people seem to be afraid of me?" Uncle Jiang Ren took out the treasure knife and protected it in front of Jiang Qi, as the highest-ranking guard here, he should take responsibility.

"It's no wonder, now that there is chaos outside, I suddenly saw a group of people with sharp weapons entering, who is not afraid." Jiang Qi shook his head and sighed, I'm afraid that for a long time, they will live a life of trepidation, for the people, they just want a pure land, but the blame is that there are too many careerists in the world.

"In this way, it is not easy to find Mr. Tian's house." Xun You, who was protected by a team of soldiers, said with some worry.

"Let's take a look, I believe that Mr. Tian's courtyard is still relatively easy to find, after all, the habits of literati are not bad, right, Brother Gongda??" Jiang Qi smiled and patted the tired Xun Yu who couldn't walk out first.

Xun You, who was originally at a loss, suddenly realized when he got the hint, and hurriedly followed Jiang Qi, who had already walked out of the country. As Jiang Qi said, literati generally like seclusion and elegance.

After a blind search, a delicate thatched hut soon came into view, located at the end of the only stream in the village, a hundred and ten paces away from the village, and the simple but not simple thatched hut was surrounded by a fence.

At this moment, an old servant in the courtyard is pruning two flowers, and there are two literati playing in a pavilion at the highest point of the courtyard.

In the incense burner, the slowly rising smoke adds a bit of elegance and profundity to the grass house. Xun You, who had already known Tian Feng in Luoyang, recognized it at a glance, and the people he was looking for, Tian Feng and Tian Yuanhao.

"If the world can be calm, you also want to find such a place to live in seclusion and live a leisurely life." Looking at such a picture, Xun You couldn't help but be infected, and gently touched the short whiskers of his chin and said.

"If there really is that day, Qidang and Brother Gongda will live next to each other." Jiang Qi also said enviously.

However, the reality has been doomed, and their low requirements will be difficult to meet.

"Then it's not a sin to disturb Mr. Tian today!" Xun You said with a light smile.

"For the peace of more people, there is only sin." Jiang Qi nodded in agreement, and after speaking, he gently knocked on the courtyard door surrounded by a fence.
