The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

I really can’t stay up all night, I’m getting old, my body can’t support it, my eyes are sore, and my brain can’t work anymore. I use my brain too much, thinking without learning is dangerous. After sitting for a long time, I wrote more than 100 words. Can you take a break today? Adjust your schedule.

Second more.

Not far from Nanping, everyone saw a person walking alone in the snow ahead.

Du Mai said suspiciously: "This man is wearing a hat, a bag and a knife, like a pedestrian passing by. It has been snowing in the past two days, and even the head of the pavilion seldom goes out, let alone a traveler. I haven't seen a single one until the day before yesterday....Who is this person? Xun Jun, do you want to stop and question me?"

Xun Zhen's heart moved, and she remembered what Wen Pin said in the morning: "The number of bandits in the townships and pavilions in the county has increased significantly, and there have been several robbery cases one after another." She thought, "Be careful." He nodded and said, "It's really suspicious, you can ask. A Bao, Xiao Fan, you two go with Du Jun, be cautious."

Du Mai, Chen Bao, and Fan Shang were all on foot, hurried with their swords, and drove the man up.

Xun Zhen and Wen Ping were stationed in Ma Yuanguan, and when they saw Du Mai and the others surrounded the pedestrian first, Chen Bao and Fan Shang stood a little further away, holding the hilt of the knife and staring at the man vigilantly, Du Mai was closer, but Also be careful. The three of them are all veterans in the booth, and they are very experienced in dealing with "bandits" and "suspects". No need to remind, but also know to beware of "thieves" violence and hurt people.

The pedestrian was unprepared and was suddenly surrounded. The first reaction was to touch the knife at his waist. Xun Zhen's heart tightened, and she was about to slap the horse over, but saw that after Du Mai said something, the man immediately let go. The two sides talked for a few words. Due to the distance, Xun Zhen couldn't hear the specific content. Only a few words were blown by the wind. It was probably Du Mai asking him "where did he come from", "what's his name" and so on.

Soon, Du Mai finished his question, leaving Chen Bao and Fan Shang to watch over the man and rush back to report.

"Is it clear? What did you say?"

"He claimed to be from Yangping Weiguo, and his surname was Le Mingjin."

"Le Jin?" Xun Zhen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wenpin subconsciously, turned around again, and repeated the name, "Le Jin." asked, "..., where did he say he was? people?"

"People from Yangping Weiguo."

Xun Zhen picked up her memories, but just like when she first met Wenpin, she couldn't remember where the "Le Jin", one of the "five sons and good generals" under Cao Cao's command, was from. He thought to himself: "When the book is used up, I will hate you! I only hate that I didn't know much about the book when I read it before, and I glanced at the name and place of origin when I came across it, so I am so at a loss now. . . . Call it 'Le Jin', and I'll have to meet you."

Du Mai and Wen Ping felt strange when they saw him suddenly in a daze. Du Mai coughed and asked, "Jun Xun?"

"what?"

"I've asked the question clearly, what should that person do? Let it go? Or stay and check again?"

"I'm going to see him."

Xun Zhen greeted Wen Ping, beat the horse and galloped, and without waiting for Du Mai to keep up, she went straight to the side of Chen Bao and Fan Shang, and looked at the pedestrian called "Le Jin".

I didn't feel it from a distance, but when I got closer, I found that this man was very low, only about seven feet or so, converted into the unit of later generations, that is, about one meter six, with a withered face, wearing a scorpion, and wearing only a black inside. unlined garment. At this time, the man had taken off his bamboo hat, and wore a bamboo crown on his head. His attire was simple. The knife on his waist was not a good one. There were several twists of twine on the handle of the knife. wrapped around the blade inside.

When Xun Zhen was looking at this man, this man was also looking at him, and said to himself, "I don't care that there is such a pavilion in such a place!" Although it is small, it is also dignified and has a strong stature.

This man looked at Wenpin and thought again: "This young man is warm with fur, horse, sword and jade pendant. Obviously, he is either rich or expensive, but he respectfully accompanies him by the side of the pavilion. It is really strange." After delaying the bow and salute, he reported to the portal: "Is the local pavilion chief at the foot of the step? I'm happy to enter."

Although this person named "Le Jin" is short and shabby, not like a gangster, but Xun Zhen was not disappointed, on the contrary, she was overjoyed and thought: "Although I forgot where 'Le Jin' is from, but it is vague I remember that the book described him as 'short in appearance'. If only in terms of appearance, this person is very similar." He jumped off the horse, helped the person up, and smiled politely: "Xunzhen, I have seen the footsteps."

"Xun...?"

Just now, Du Mai only said that the person riding the horse was a local pavilion chief, but did not mention Xun Zhen's name. Le Jin was stunned, and asked tentatively, "Dare to ask, but Xun of Gao Yang's Xun clan?"

"Exactly."

When Le Jin heard the words, he immediately bowed again, which was much more solemn than the previous one. He said, "I have heard about the high reputation of the Xun clan for a long time. Today, I am lucky enough to see my step." Suddenly, he said, "No wonder this rich and noble young man is respectful and obedient, but he is actually from the Xun clan. . . . It's just weird. I have a good background, but how can I be a pavilion chief?" Although there are doubts, it is not easy to ask questions, so I have doubts for the time being.

Xun Zhen took two steps forward, picked him up again, and said with a smile, "Have you heard the name of my Xun family? Character?"

"Wen Qian in cursive writing."

"Yangping Weiguo is hundreds of miles away from here. It's freezing cold. How can you walk alone?"

With a sad face on his face, Le Jin replied, "My teacher passed away last month, so I went to hang the sacrifice."

"Oh? I don't know who the great teacher is?"

"Kunyang Ye Gong."

Kunyang (now Yexian, Pingdingshan) is in the south of Yingyin. In the last years of Xinmang, the famous Battle of Kunyang took place here, and Emperor Guangwu stood out for this battle. The surnames Ye and Shen are the two local surnames. However, Xun Zhen has never heard of any famous sages and scholars in Kunyang, let alone a famous person with the surname "Ye" who died last month. It is estimated that this "Ye Gong" may just be an ordinary Confucian scholar.

Although he wondered why Le Jin, a native of Yangping Weiguo, went hundreds of miles away to worship an unknown Confucian scholar as his teacher, he, like Le Jin, did not ask this question, but put away his smile and changed his mind. With a solemn and solemn look, he said: "The dead are gone, and people cannot be resurrected. I mourn and obey. I think the most important thing as a disciple is to carry on the teacher's tradition of Taoism, abide by it unswervingly, and wait until one day to carry it forward. , This is the true way of respecting a teacher! ... Do you feel right with your steps?"

"'Respect the teacher's way'." Le Jin savoured it for a while, agreed, and said, "What you said is very true, and it should be true."

"I am alone, traveling hundreds of miles to hang a priest for mourning. I really admire it. Not only the respected teacher, but also the courage and bravery!" Xun Zhen pointed at Wenpin and said, "In the morning, Zhongye was still there. Tell me, I heard from the county that there have been many robbery cases in various places recently, one person stabbed with one single step, and walked alone in the snow, so courageous!" He asked with concern, "Is the road still peaceful?"

Le Jin replied in a flat tone: "It's been a stable journey along the way, but I only met a group of thieves at Chen Liuwei's, and they were all killed."

"..."

Xun Zhen just asked casually, expressing concern, but he did not expect that he would actually encounter a robber. Only three or more thieves can be called "group thieves", which means that Le Jin has killed at least three thieves. Wen Pin, Chen Bao and the others were all skeptical. Although they didn't say anything, they all secretly doubted: "This person is short in stature, and he is definitely not a person from Kong Wu, but he can hit more than one blow?"

They were suspicious, but Xun Zhen was even more happy, thinking: "Short appearance, kills all robbers. The figure matches, as well as the martial arts, this person is most likely the Le Jin!" The expression on his face became more attentive, praised Said: "The steps are really strong!"

The snow was blowing, and the sky was dark. Chen Bao, Le Jin, etc. were all walking, their shoes were soaked through long ago, but walking was fine, but when they stopped, their calves were freezing cold. Xun Zhen observed the words and expressions, and said understandingly: "It's getting late, and a curfew will be imposed. Le Jun, although you are brave, you can't walk this night. Why don't you just feel wronged and live in my pavilion tonight? stop."

Even if Xun Zhen didn't say it, Le Jin also planned in the same way. The reason why he was willing to stand in the snow, endure the cold, and talk to Xun Zhen for a long time, was to respect his Xun family background, and secondly, he had planned to stay overnight in Fanyang tonight. Seeing Xun Zhen's invitation at this time, he could not ask for it, and immediately responded: "If so, I will disturb you."

"What's the matter? The pavilion has the responsibility of receiving pedestrians.... Speaking of which, since I became a pavilion chief, I haven't traveled far for several months. Le Jun came from Yanzhou, and there must be many stories. Along the way again, I must have seen and heard a lot. If Le-Jun doesn’t feel vulgar and wants to take the liberty of requesting to sleep with Le-Jun tonight, it will be a pleasure to hear it!”

Le Jin hesitated for a moment, and said to himself, "Although this pavilion master Xunjun has a handsome appearance, he has a straightforward temperament. When we first met, he invited me to sleep with me after saying a few words. Hearing his good talk, he was born again. Xun Shi, although I don't know why I became a pavilion chief,..." After taking a look at Wenpin, "But with this rich and noble young man being a respectful entourage, it is expected that he is not a mediocre person, and there is no harm in making friends." Thinking of this , made up his mind, and replied, "As long as Xun Jun doesn't think it's boring, it's okay to talk for a night."

Xun Zhen was overjoyed and said, "Tingshe is not far ahead, but I still have something to do, so I can't go back for the time being." He instructed Chen Bao, "A Bao, you should send Le Jun to the house first. It’s hard work, and it’s hard to walk with a package, so ride my horse and go.”

How dare Le Jin! Repeatedly declined.

"Le Jun is a guest from afar, and I am a landlord, don't you hear 'guests follow the master'? Don't refuse!" Xun Zhen couldn't help but shoved the reins into his hands, and told Chen Bao, "After returning home, Please, Mr. Huang, make some hot water~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Let Le Jun soak his feet and get rid of the cold; make some good dishes and warm the wine. Tonight I will do my best as a landlord. You can taste our dishes and drinks!" After explaining, he said to Le Jin, "Let's go first, I'll be back soon, it won't be too late."

Xun Zhen was so "hospitable" that Le Jin was "flattered" and refused to give up again and again, so she had no choice but to go on horseback. Along the way, he has stayed in many pavilions, but he has never seen a person as "hospitable" as Xun Zhen. After walking quite a distance, he looked back and saw that in the twilight of snow and snow, Xun Zhen rode a horse of Wenpin, followed by Du Mai, Fanshang, and Wenpin, who changed to walking, and turned down the official road. It fell away somewhere in the distance.

He asked Chen Bao, who was leading the horse in front, "Where is Xun Jun going?"

Xun Zhen naturally went to respect the elderly.

Chen Bao replied: "Today it's time to inspect the pavilion, there are some things that have not been done in the gathering, so Xun Jun will go and see again."

"I saw the heroic young man accompanying Xun Jun. I don't know who it is? ... But is it also the Xun family of Gaoyang?"

"No. He is a native of the county lord, and his father is now a servant of the county. He was introduced by Xun Jun and was able to worship the Xun clan. Today, he is specially here to visit Xun Jun."

Le Jin sensitively grasped a few key words: "People from the county township, who are close officials from the father's family in the county, and worship the Xun family."

"What did Le Jun say?"

"Oh? Nothing."

Le Jin came back to his senses, and when he looked back again, the twilight was gloomy, and the figures of Xun Zhen and others had been obscured by the wind and snow.

He thought: "It seems that my guess is not bad, this Xunjun is definitely a very person. Otherwise, he would not make the nephew of the county lord who is close to the officials to serve respectfully, and he would not be able to recommend someone to worship the Xun family. "It strengthened the judgment just now, "If you can make friends with him, there are advantages and disadvantages."
