Chapter 317: Second Brother of the Xu Family
When the monster heard this, he didn't show too much surprise, he walked out, and when he walked out, Chen Yan and the others were shocked again!
The monster in front of him is at least nine feet tall, compared to Dian Wei, it does not look short at all, I am afraid it is even better, his face is like a bronze sculpture, his body is majestic, and it is like a towering tree!
His waist circumference must at least be hugged by Chen Yan and Zhang Liao to be able to hug him! Such a majestic figure, not Xu Chu, but who else? !
Chen Yan was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and said, "Could it be that the strong man is Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang?" ”
The monster's eyebrows moved slightly, lowered his head to examine Chen Yan, smiled slightly, and said: "A certain surname is indeed Xu, a cheap pestle, most of the people in the village are called the second brother of the Xu family, I don't know who you are?" ”
With that, the monster stretched out his hand and pulled out a few chairs, slammed them on the ground, and said, "Guest, sit!" ”
Chen Yan and Zhang Liao Guo Jia were not polite, even if they sat on the chairs.
Chen Yan hurriedly bowed and said: "It's not a secret, I am the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the east, and Chen Yan is also the general of the five officials, and now I have come here, I heard that the strong man is extraordinary, and now the court is weak, and the war in all directions is in turmoil, and I need a hero like a strong man to calm the four seas, and I hope that the strong man will come forward to help, and he will be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister in the future." ”
Chen Yan chattered for a long time, but Xu Chu didn't listen to it, he smiled slightly, his face was very frightened, and he only heard him say: "General, you said so much, but you just want to recruit me to join the army?" ”
Speaking of this, the look on Xu Chu's face became unkind, and it could be seen that he was probably a little angry.
Chen Yan can roughly see from the behavior of the villagers before that the people are very disgusted and afraid of conscription, and now Xu Chu's reaction has demonstrated Chen Yan's point of view, I am afraid that he has already been very disgusted with conscription, and now that he listens to his words, he is even more angry with the strong man in front of him.
Sure enough, Xu Chu slowly walked towards Chen Yan, and the murderous aura also followed, Zhang Liao subconsciously touched the saber on his waist and stood up.
-for-tat, the big war is about to break out!
At this moment, the young man who led the way hurriedly ran forward, hugged Xu Chu, and said: "Second brother of the Xu family, stay, stay, this general is not here to recruit soldiers, this general is a good person!" ”
Xu Chu was a little stunned when he heard the young man's words, he turned around and asked, "What's going on?" Xiaoqing, don't be afraid, with me here to support you, even if they have more soldiers and horses, they can't help you, just tell the truth! ”
The young man hurriedly explained, "No, no, that's it! After that, the young man babbled about Chen Yan's distribution of food in his village.
Hearing this, the anger on Xu Chu's face finally gradually subsided, he looked at Chen Yan, a pair of copper bell eyes showed a puzzled look, and asked: "In this way, you, the officer, not only do not arrest Ding, but also give food to the common people?" ”
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this time I came, just for the sake of the strong man, in order to show my sincerity, I also specially brought fifty stones of grain and grass." After saying that, Chen Yan beckoned, and Zhang Liao went to the back to bring the carriage, and there were bags of grain and grass on the carriage, and sure enough, a lot of grain and grass were piled up.
Chen Yan said: "As long as the strong man is willing to join the army with me, these grains and grass will be disposed of by the strong man." ”
Xu Chu was even more stunned when he heard this, so much food, how has he ever seen it, he has only seen officers leading troops to scavenge food since he was a child, the sergeant killed his father, killed his eldest brother, and almost killed his mother, but now the officer in front of him is different from what he saw before, what is the reason?
Xu Chu thought for a moment, still a little unconvinced, and asked again: "You let me be a soldier?" Don't be strong, but still give me grain and grass? ”
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Xu Chu was still a little surprised, and continued to ask: "You gave me these grains and grass just so that I could give you my life?" ”
Chen Yan shook his head at this moment and said, "No, it's not that I won't let you sell my life for me." If there are disputes and wars breaking out today, it is a good time to make contributions. With the skills of a strong man, it is not a problem to be a mere marquis of ten thousand households, a manly man, he was born poor, but this ten thousand family wealth and illustrious life experience are hard to work on his own! A strong man is so good, wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't struggle? ”
Hearing this, Xu Chu's eyes suddenly showed a gleam.
No one has ever told him this kind of thing, although Xu Chu has found that he has been different since he was a child, but most people think that he is just born with more strength, but he is just a good material for farm work.
Now there is a mighty general riding a tall horse and pulling fifty stones of grain and grass, telling himself that he has come all the way for himself, and even said that he can make meritorious contributions and become a king and a marquis.
Xu Chu was really a little tempted at this time, he seemed to feel that his life should not just be a farmer in this small village, he had a good martial arts in vain, but he didn't get Bole's attention, wouldn't it be a waste?
At this moment, suddenly an old call came from the room: "Second child, who is outside, so noisy?" ”
When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately changed from a mighty monster to a docile lamb, and he whispered, "It's nothing, mother." ”
After that, Xu Chu reflexively entered the room and whispered for a long time.
Chen Yan looked at Xu Chu's back, and suddenly a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
The young man who led the way said at this time: "The second brother of the Xu family is a filial son, famous far and wide!" ”
Chen Yan nodded and said: "Filial piety comes first, and Xu Chu is filial, which is really worthy of admiration." ”
After a long while, Xu Chu finally came out again, this time with a hint of imperceptible loneliness on his face, shook his head and said to Chen Yan: "General, a certain person is just a rough person, and he doesn't understand many truths. It's not that you don't know about your uplift, but your mother is old and needs to be taken care of, and I'm afraid she can't go with you. ”
Hearing this, not only Chen Yan, but also Zhang Liao and Guo Jia all had disappointed looks on their faces. Chen Yan traveled thousands of miles and brought countless grains and grasses to seek talents, which could not be described as insincere, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Xu Chu still rejected Chen Yan's olive branch.
Is it because fate has not yet arrived?
Chen Yan secretly thought to himself in his heart, such a tiger and wolf general was in front of his eyes, but Chen Yan couldn't accept it, how could Chen Yan endure such a regret?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a low voice again: "Second brother of the Xu family, can I go in to meet your mother?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more surprised, and even Xu Chu was taken aback, and asked intermittently: "Is this ...... Why is that? ”
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Since I came here to admire your style, how can I not meet your mother, isn't it too rude?" ”
