The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Bao imprisoned the guest of the Gao family in the prison, and came out to meet Xun Zhen.

There was a lot of movement in the front yard, which alarmed Mother Xu. Supported by Xu Ji, she stood tremblingly at the door of the house and asked Xun Zhen what happened.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Two and three rogues were fighting outside the door. I have dispelled them and arrested the leader of the temporary prison. I accidentally disturbed my mother."

Mother Xu was skeptical, and asked Du Mai and Huang Zhong again, both of whom responded vaguely according to Xun Zhen's words. Xun Zhen said, "As the twilight is getting darker, it's time to eat later. My mother will go back to the house to rest first. I will cook and cook two delicious side dishes for my mother to taste." In the middle, he asked Xu Ji to accompany him and returned to the front yard with everyone.

The twilight is getting heavier, and the courtyard is dark.

Xun Zhen asked Huang Zhong to go to the kitchen first to make a fire.

Huang Zhong hesitated. He was clumsy and worried about the Gao family, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he sighed and went to the kitchen. Not long after, there was the sound of "click, click" on the flint. Du Mai, Chen Bao and the others were all standing under Huan Biao, surrounded by Xun Zhen, Cheng Yan also came out, and they all looked at him. Chen Bao asked, "Mr. Xun, what should I do with that guest of the Gao family?"

"Close it first."

"Xun Jun just told the Gao family that he would go to the Gao family in person tomorrow, is this true?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I didn't say earlier that I would visit Gao's house in person? When did I tell a lie? Why should I ask repeatedly!"

"That being the case, I would like to go with Xun-Jun."

Cheng Yan hurriedly said, "I'm going too!"

Du Mai and Fan's brothers looked at each other. To be honest, Du Maishi was reluctant to participate in this matter. Although the Gao family is far inferior to the Huang family, the Huang family is their backing and backing. It is not their wish to provoke such an enemy because of Cheng Yan. But remembering the ring pendant that Xun Zhen gave to his son, and remembering that Xun Zhen had always been kind to him, Du Mai reluctantly said, "I would also like to go with Xun Jun."

Fan's brother Li Ling was not even afraid of Huang's when he was unconscious, but they offended the Gao family for no reason without any benefit. The two of them were very reluctant, especially Fan Shang was never very good at dealing with Cheng Yan, and he looked down on Cheng Yan's Rude and reckless, Cheng Yan looked down on his stingy and stingy. Neither of the brothers said anything.

Xun Zhen glanced at their performances and said with a smile: "When the practice was over today, the people in the village asked to continue the practice tomorrow. They had such enthusiasm, they could only encourage them, not attack them. They agreed at that time. Du Jun, A Bao, the two of you are divided into the captains of the front and rear teams, if you go, who will organize them? ..., you don't have to go, I can do it alone." He actually wanted to go to the meeting alone.

Chen Baojiu was in the pavilion, familiar with the tyrants of his hometown, and said: "Master Xun, the Gao family sent a few guests to invade the pavilion, which shows that he is arrogant and domineering. Since you have detained his guests in the prison, how can you go alone tomorrow? If you go alone, are you afraid that you will?" I was worried that something unexpected would happen.

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "Although I am humble, I am also the leader of a pavilion. Even if the Gao family is arrogant, they are no more than a household in the village. Why? How dare he do anything to me? Ah Bao, you are worrying too much! Ah It is better to solve the matter later than to solve it early. I have made up my mind, and I will go early tomorrow morning."

Cheng Yan "plopped" to his knees and was so moved that he demanded: "Xunjun! It's because of the villain, how can Xunjun go alone? Please ask Xiaoren Xu to go with you."

Xun Zhen helped him up and offered comfort, but she refused to agree: "Just to go to Gao's house, not to enter the den of tigers and wolves. Why are you all acting like this? Get up, get up quickly!"

Du Mai said: "Xunjun doesn't know anything. The Gao family is reliant on the Huang clan and is the leader of the township. Last year, the township clerk was a member of the people, because he gave his family an extra slave and made him angry, so he was so angry. He was beaten up in the street by his family’s guests. In the end, it’s over.” The calculation of money for slaves, that is, the poll tax, is more than that of a good family, but a slave is not much more money. The Gao family sent people to beat them, this Gao family is indeed going too far.

Chen Bao said, "Yes. Beating the officials violated the law, but in the end the Gao family was able to get out of the way, no one was held accountable, and even the village chief had to come to the door to apologize. Although the Gao family was only a rural household, But it is not easy to match.”

Xun Zhen's state of mind had already calmed down. From the time he decided to go to the Gao family's gate in person, he had already thought about it clearly, and said, "If the Gao family is too bold, what's the use of having more of you?"

Seeing that Chen Bao, Cheng Yan, and others were still trying to persuade him, he smiled and said, "You don't need to say more, I'm sure of myself! ..., you only look at the few guests of the Gao family, and watch us detain their leaders. , no one dares to come forward to fight, so we know that the Gao family is no more than a paper tiger. As the pavilion chief, my job is to fight the strong and eliminate the violence, so why be afraid of a paper tiger?"

"Paper tiger?"

"Although there are thousands of people going to the real tiger, the paper tiger is bluffing."

…

Xun Zhen told everyone on the side that the guests of the Gao family were running around in a panic, and after returning to the Gao family, they told the elders of Gao the story of their return home. Gao's father's son was full of anger: "How dare you be so strong in a mere humble servant? He said he will come tomorrow?"

"Yes."

A person serving on the side said, "Fanyang is not my hometown pavilion, and the pavilion's length is strong and strong, and it has no foundation in the township pavilion. My family's reputation, who does not know the county and township? He has the guts of a leopard, how dare he go far Yang, come to my territory? Lend ten courage from him, I don’t think he will dare to come tomorrow. . .

The eldest son of the Gao family agreed, seeing the darkness in the courtyard, he snorted and said, "It's night and night. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if he dares to come! The time limit is noon. Then I went to his house and asked for someone in person! See if he dares to say anything else!"

The eldest son of this high surname is Gao Mingsu, and he is in his thirties. Han inherited Qin Feng, "the rich and the strong son will be divided", when the child grows up, the father and son will separate the family. Gao Su had long since established his own family, and now he does not live with his father. Although he grew up in a wealthy family, he did not study since he was a child. The local pavilion chief is also not up to his expectations, and is often yelled at by him like a lackey. The pavilion where his home is located is where the township government is located, and the township pavilion is still so long, how can it be seen that the "Fanyang Pavilion" ten or twenty miles away?

That night, he slept angrily, found two beautiful little maids, Quan came to disperse the fire, and tossed it all night, feeling as if he had just fallen asleep and heard someone knock on the door. He opened his sleepy eyes dimly, the room was dark, and the genius was just bright. With the air of getting up, he said angrily, "Who? What's the matter?"

"Young Master, Fan Yang Ting Ting is here."

"...?" Gao Su's son Gao Su stayed for a while, his consciousness gradually became clear, he stood up on the bed, and asked outside the door, "Fan Yang Ting Ting is here?"

"Exactly."

"Hey! How bold. How many people did he bring?"

"Come alone."

"Single?" Gao Su patted her cheek, thinking she was still in a dream, she was silent for a while, then she laughed, "What a courage! What a courage!" He turned over and stood up. The two maids who were serving the bed also woke up, and when they saw him get up, they followed suit regardless of the coldness of the morning, afraid that he would be angry and would not have time to put on clothes, so they brought their robes and crowns naked and helped him put them on. .

"Call the sophomore and senior year over here!"

The second and third year of high school are all his clansmen. The name is clansman, but he is actually a servant. After Gao Su separated from his father, he acquired hundreds of acres of fertile land. He was responsible for household chores, farming, and money lending. He was the leader of the guests.

Gao Su dressed up neatly, and when he was about to go out, he turned back, took a long sword from Lan Qi in the corner, inserted it into his waist, and pushed out the door. The second and third year of high school have arrived, standing outside the door with their hands down.

"Do you know? Fan Yang Ting Ting is here."

"I have heard the little slave say it."

"Where is it now?"

"I didn't let him enter without the Young Master's order, and now I'm waiting outside the house."

After Gao Su split up, he moved out of his Zhuangzi and now lives in Lizhong. A little slave brought a copper basin and asked him to wash. He wiped his face casually, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Last night, we all thought wrong, that Fanyang Pavilion really had the guts of a leopard, and he dared to come alone! Hey, these days, I don't go out of the village pavilion, look. When I came to the surrounding pavilions, I forgot the majesty of my home!"

"What are you planning to do, Young Master?"

"Call up the guests and swordsmen, each with weapons, stand in the courtyard, and then 'invite' the pavilion chief of Fanyang Pavilion to come in."

…

Xun Zhen said that she must do what she said, saying that one person will come alone, and refused the invitation of Chen Bao, Cheng Yan and others to follow.

After dinner last night, Chen Bao gave him an idea, saying that even if they couldn't follow because of the practice of Limin, at least tell Mother Xu, or go directly to inform Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing, and Su's family. Brothers, call them with you. They were all young chivalrous men in the countryside, so Gao Su's family should get to know them, maybe they could talk a little better. Taking a step back, even if Gao Su's clan refused to give Jiang Qin and others face, with their help, they could at least retreat completely.

Xun Zhen refused.

To be honest, he really didn't take the Gao family seriously.

Moreover, he is not a reckless person, and just as his own analysis, if this trip is dangerous, of course, he does not have to go to the meeting alone, but he has already calculated it. What if you beat the village chief? He is different from Xiang Zuo! To say that the Gao family had the courage to detain him, or even beat or even kill him, he would never believe it.

That being the case, since this trip was at best without any danger, why not make things more beautiful, why do you need to ask others for help, and let yourself be underestimated? Therefore, he ate and slept as usual last night, and there was absolutely no restlessness or tossing and turning like Du Mai, Chen Bao, Cheng Yan, etc. I woke up this morning, and after carefully arranging today's drills, I rode to the village pavilion alone.

Before I came, I had already asked about the road, so I didn't worry about going to the wrong place.

When entering the inner door, the inner prison door asked a few more questions, and after knowing that he was coming to Gao's house, he showed a strange look.

It turned out that the guests of Gao's family returned in a hurry last night, and then the matter of Gao Su's rage spread all over the place overnight. The local residents already knew that Fanyang Pavilion had a pavilion chief, and he did not give the Gao family face at all. Not only did he protect Cheng Yan, but he also detained one of the leading guests of the Gao family, and said that he would come to the door in person today.

After hearing about it, most of the people in the village had the same reaction as Gao Su. They didn't believe that the "pavilion chief of Fanyang Pavilion" would have such great courage.

If Xun Zhen was in Fanyang Pavilion, Xunzhen might not be afraid of the Gao family, but the town pavilion was completely within the sphere of influence of the Gao family. Wouldn’t he, Tathagata, not be caught in a trap? Maybe it's going to be replaced by a famous and strong pavilion, and the people in the village may still believe in one or two. When Xun Zhen first arrived, his reputation was not obvious, and the people in the village didn't know him at all, not even his name, but they didn't believe that he would do what he said.

But at this time, watching Xun Zhen enter Deli alone, where the prison gate is behind him, he is amazed: "This is the first time I have seen such a bold pavilion from the Gao family!"

Work at sunrise, rest at sunset. Although it was early, there were already many people in the room, and when they saw a stranger leading a horse alone, they all gave them curious eyes. When it came out from the prison gate that this person was the pavilion chief of Fanyang Pavilion, the eyes of the people in the li immediately changed from curiosity to surprise.

In their sight, Xun Zhen came to the door of Gao's house as usual.
