"Do they also raise chickens in Zhongtai?" He Jin was stunned.
"Of course!" Gongsun Xun chuckled softly. "It was also the first time for me to see it, and then I felt strange, so I used it as a gimmick to invite Brother Xian to have a drink. To be honest, Brother Xian, my wife brought back some chickens when she saw me before. This is also the reaction.”
He Jin couldn't help but laugh when he heard that the other party was so direct. He also understood in his heart that the egg in Zhongtai was just a pretext. The key was that the other party's wife moved from the Gou family's manor to Luoyang City... Han Dynasty etiquette, if done at home During a banquet, when both parties have similar status, or the host's status is slightly higher, the housewife can come out to receive the ceremony.
In fact, he also specially brought his wife Yin over on this trip, just to take advantage of the fact that both parties were still just black ribbon copper seals, so that they could have an explanation for each other, so-called meeting his wife in court... and after this experience From now on, in a few days, he can calmly invite the other party to his home, and then have a serious ceremony to worship his mother.
After going back and forth, it is natural that you can entrust your family to your best friend.
After the housewives from both parties came out to see the ceremony, they went into the inner room to chat. Gongsun Xun also drank and chatted with He Jin in the outer hall. Then they played with the cats inside, and three bowls were brought out outside... The atmosphere was harmonious for a while. .
However, the Amway's "Three Bowls Can't Be Done" is certainly enjoyable, but its stamina is not small. The two of them started drinking it in the afternoon, and Gongsun Xun also vaguely said something that opened He Jin's eyes. So the two of them drank more and more and went into the alley, and finally they were already drunk before it got dark.
As a last resort, Mrs. Yin and Zhao Yun, who had just become acquainted with each other in the inner room, had to stop eating, and then came out with their maids to call the servants, and each asked someone to help her husband up. Then, one of them helped her husband up and walked out. , one of them helped her husband into the house to make arrangements, one of them said goodbye to the other, and they made an appointment at the door for the next time to meet... Then they parted ways.
And watching the car that was watching the He family disappear from sight, Mrs. Gongsun Zhao Yun also turned around and entered her small courtyard.
"Are you still picky about food?"
"This is Zhongtai's egg!"
"Do you know how many poor people there are in the world who can't even eat an egg?"
"Eat or not?!"
Zhao Yun listened for a long time in front of the door, but she had no choice but to open the door and come in: "Mr. Lang, why do you bully a cat?"
"This cat has been spoiled by you." Gongsun Xun, who was as drunk as mud before, was now full of energy. He was holding a half-eaten chicken in one hand and holding his wife's beloved cat by the neck with the other. Shaking and shaking, he insisted on forcing the cat to eat the half-eaten "Zhongtai Egg". "Look at the big cat my mother raised. It is fat, strong, and lazy. Whatever you give it, it will eat it." Just eat whatever you want, it’s very straightforward, how can it be as cunning as this one?”
Zhao Yun had no choice but to reach out and snatch the cat back: "The big cat at my grandma's place has been castrated, so it is naturally honest..."
"It will save trouble if you castrate it." Gongsun Xun looked at the young kitten with evil intentions.
"Isn't Mr. Lang going out of the city to do some serious business?" Zhao Yun became increasingly helpless and had no choice but to hold the cat and push the cat with her elbow. "It's getting dark now, you can go."
"I will go to White Horse Temple to find a nest in a few days. I must not let this cat pet me alone." Gongsun Xun was still reluctant, but he had already stood up and changed his clothes.
After leaning a little, he finally put on a large roe deer skin cloak for traveling in winter, and took his own short knife. Then, taking advantage of the dusk, he went straight to find a yellow-maned horse and headed out of the west gate of Luoyang.
.
At the same time, dozens of miles west of Luoyang, outside a pavilion between Gucheng and Hangu Pass, something that could almost be called a commonplace happened naturally.
"My master told you to get out!" A man with a local Wanluo accent and dressed as a servant walked into the courtyard of the pavilion. Then, without looking at anyone, he looked up and shouted expressionlessly into the air.
He said, "No outsiders are allowed to live in this pavilion!"
Most of the people who had already lived in the pavilion secretly complained that they were unlucky, but even though the night was getting darker and the weather was cold, no one wanted to be unlucky. Instead, they got up one after another and prepared to go to the Gucheng behind in the dark to find a place to stay.
Staying overnight... After all, this is the pavilion in front of Hangu Pass. Things like this are so common. Who knows which powerful family it is?
What if it was a family member of Zhong Changshi who stabbed him directly due to neglect, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
"This one invites you." At this moment, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, who looked like a scribe, suddenly walked out of one side of the room with two powerful attendants, and then slightly arched his hands towards the servant.
"We are the family members of Dr. Duan Gong of Guanglu, heading to our hometown in Xiliang..."
"Guanglu doctor Duan Gong?" The servant was also stunned. "Could it be the former Taiwei Duan Gong?"
"Exactly." The middle-aged man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He could see that the other party was obviously a member of a wealthy family who had been in the capital for a long time, so he should understand the power.
"Stay here!" This servant seemed to be wary of Duan Xi's reputation, so he stopped everyone's movements with a stern voice, and then ran out of the pavilion as if to report to his master.
.
However……
"My master said it!" After the servant came back, he not only brought several strong servants, but also became more and more rude. "What nonsense, Mr. Duan's family is obviously a criminal who has violated the law! Isn't it just that he lost his master and humiliated the country before?"
Tian and Xia, do you really think he doesn't know?"
The fair-skinned middle-aged man, Xia Yule, turned pale after hearing this, but for a moment he was completely speechless.
"The rest of the people don't need to move!" the servant continued to shout loudly. "My master will only live in this field today, and the room for Xia and his wife is enough! Where is the pavilion chief? My family is the Chenliu Gao family who is related to the Yuan family.
I was ordered to go to Shu County to find the governor of our clan... Quickly drive out the two common people of Tian and Xia! Especially that Tian Yan, my master said that this person is a despicable person of the eunuch Afu. He
Never allow this person to live on the same porch as him!"
As soon as these words came out, the ordinary business travelers and clerks who went out to do business all secretly cried out that they were lucky, while the chief of the pavilion couldn't help but secretly cried out that he was unlucky.
By the way, after working as an official in a place like this for a long time, how can this pavilion chief not know how powerful he is?
He also knew the name of Chenliu and Gao, and he was the legitimate in-law of the fourth and third Duke Yuan. As for the affairs of Tian and Xia, he had also heard from the officials who came from south to north and knew that it was Duan Xizheng.
The cronies of Erba Jing were now demoted to common people and went to their hometown in Xiliang because of the defeat; and he knew better that these two groups of people were the minions of the eunuchs on one side and the leaders of the serious scholars on the other, so it was hard to offend them.
!
Of course, no matter what, as the servant shouted, now Tian Yan and Xia Yu are both common people who will fight to the end. At this time, he can only choose to persuade these two people to leave the pavilion.
"That's too much!" However, before the director of the pavilion could say anything, someone suddenly came out of the house with a knife. By the firelight in the pavilion, everyone could see clearly that this person was completely opposite to Xia Yu.
A short, fat man with a big beard. "I committed a crime that day, and no one dared to stop me from staying in a pavilion when I drove into Luo..."
However, the threat of this short, fat, bearded man had no effect. Several of the servants of the Gao family here also reacted quickly and even drew their swords without showing any signs of weakness. Although the attendants of Tian and Xia were partial to
There were fewer of them, but they were all the elites of the army sent by Duan Xi. They were also fearless, and they each drew their swords and faced each other!
For a moment, in the completely dark pavilion courtyard, illuminated by the newly lit torches, the light of swords flickered, like a battlefield.
The surrounding merchants and officials gasped when they saw this, and then they retreated and hid in the house, as if preparing to avoid this place of trouble. Even the chief of the pavilion who was about to speak quickly turned back to greet his soldiers.
, Pavilion father, Qiu Thief and others quickly prepared their weapons and horses to prepare... prepare to wash the ground afterwards.
"Tian Ayan!" At this moment, Xia Yu, who had always been so good-tempered, suddenly turned toward his companions. "Don't you think you've done enough harm to us?!"
The bearded man holding the knife was Tian Yan. Hearing this, he was momentarily at a loss and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Let's go!" Xia Yu reluctantly advised. "Can you just listen to what I say? Let's go back to Gucheng to rest and don't cause trouble to Mr. Duan. We have already caused a lot of trouble to Mr. Duan..."
The bearded Tian Yan sighed, but put away the knife a little bored.
"Is this the family of Gao Gong, the governor of Shu County?"
The servant sneered twice in the dusk, but did not embarrass the other party again.
As a result, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and a few attendants quickly packed up their things and led their horses out to Gucheng in the east. The Gao family's group also waited for the other party to leave.
Then a young scholar with a Wanluo accent moved proudly into the vacated room.
The director of the pavilion almost felt exhausted, so he quickly closed the door of the pavilion... Anyway, the storm finally passed.
"Why is Ayu so timid now?" Tian Yan, who had given Xia Yu enough face in the pavilion before, could not help complaining as he led his mount towards Gucheng. "More than ten years ago, we were together.
Life and death, you were much bolder than me at that time. I remember when we were in Huanggu, it was you who suggested recruiting a group of people to climb first and climb up the Qiang camp with ropes. The whole army did not dare to move. I was the only one who stood up and agreed.
You... to put it bluntly, aren't you just a local wealthy family? Even though they have so many people..."
"What do you think in public?" Xia Yu couldn't help but stop and asked coldly. "Don't just think about yourself, think about Mr. Duan! This must be Luoyang!"
Tian Yan immediately shut up.
"Stop." Xia Yu suddenly waved his hand again. "Just stay in this forest for one night."
"Aren't you going to Gucheng?" Tian Yan was stunned, his beard rising with the wind. "It's such a cold day, and the wind is blowing..."
"How hard can it be to fight the Qiang that day?" Xia Yu sneered. "And what if we go to Gucheng and lose this group of people the next day?"
Tian Yan couldn't help but look slightly moved: "What does Ayu mean...?"
"To the east of Hangu Pass, there is Luoyang, at the feet of the Emperor." Xia Yu stamped his feet on the wide official road. "Don't say that our courage here is worthless. Even Duke Duan can only be careful.
Be cautious...but once you pass Hangu Pass and arrive at Kansai, it will be the world of us Kansai warriors!"
"I understand." Tian Yan couldn't help shaking his head in the winter night wind and exclaimed. "I knew Ayu that you were still the ruthless person you used to be. After passing Hangu Pass, let's quietly pick them up and then find a secluded place with white knives.
When I went in, the red knife came out... I also had a bad breath today!"
Xia Yu shook his head slightly: "I just saw that those few healthy servants are not empty-headed things. I am afraid they are warriors sent by Gao Gong, the prefect of Shu County. We are small in number, so we may not be our opponents... After passing the letter
Guguan, let’s find some former military comrades first.”
"Okay!"
"And..." Xia Yu suddenly patted his old brother on the shoulder and said, "I'm actually even more angry with the Gao family for not taking Mr. Duan seriously."
Tian Yan also sighed, and then couldn't help but grab his beard in the evening breeze.
However, in the next moment, although it was not clear at all in the twilight, starting from Tian Yan, Xia Yu, to several elite Baizhan attendants sent by Duan Xi, almost all of them changed their expressions, and then they all touched
His own weapon... Because, in the dark night, the sound of a large formation of horse hooves actually came to mind in the direction of Gucheng.
"Don't panic." Xia Yu was the first to react, and then couldn't help laughing. "This is Luoyang. With so many cavalry, there must be urgent military affairs sent to Guanxi. This trip should be to spend the night at Hangu Pass.
We can just hide on the roadside, light torches and stand quietly..."
"Yes, it's nine out of ten that it's Hanzhong, and the barbarians in Bazhong have rebelled again." Tian Yan also reacted, and immediately started joking. "They rebelled every year, but they couldn't make a difference every time.
, but because the imperial court has repeatedly cut off the traffic in the southwest, it is also ridiculous that the imperial court often goes to war... However, this does not mean that this is an opportunity for us to rise again."
"Just in time to stop the Gao family who went to Shu County before." A guard who was ordered to hold a torch and climb to the big rock nearby couldn't help but join in the fun. "But the leader of this envoy is also a dandy... unexpectedly all of them
It’s a white horse, and you’re not afraid of being too conspicuous in front of the formation?”
"No!" Tian Yan laughed again when he heard this. "If they were all white horses, they wouldn't be conspicuous. It's just that it's not easy to attack at night..."
After hearing this conversation, Xia Yu suddenly thought of something and his expression suddenly changed: "Turn off the engine quickly!"
Everyone was puzzled by what he meant, but before he finished speaking, as the horses' hooves rumbled, an arrow suddenly broke through the wind from the white horse cavalry formation that appeared in front, and directly shot the guard holding the torch to death on the roadside.
Tian Yan and Xia Yu were surrounded by this group of white horse cavalry before they could react in time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third watch, the cold wind was howling in the winter night, and there was no one on the road, but there was a faint flicker of fire in the woods beside the road.
"Is there anything wrong with Lou Guina?" Gongsun Xun, wearing a large roe deer skin cloak, asked with a smile at the people around him. Surrounded by a group of confidants and Yi Cong, he walked into the forest on dead branches and fallen leaves.
中. "Don't meet a pavilion chief with the vision of Master Lu and just take him down."
"I thought you weren't coming?" Hearing this voice, before the conversation could continue, Xia Yu, who had several wounds on his body but had his limbs tied and being held down by two knights, suddenly looked up.
Next to him was Tian Yan, who had almost the same posture. Hearing this, he also used the light of the torch to look at the visitor.
"Why don't you come?" Gongsun Xun stood there rubbing his hands and replied calmly. "Since returning from Danhan Mountain, there has not been a day when I haven't missed the captain... To be honest with Xia Gong, according to Buddhist teachings, you
As long as I'm alive, it's my inner demon."
"I don't understand what you're saying, why don't you speak frankly?" Tian Yan on the side interjected, panting heavily.
"Then I will speak frankly." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile. "As long as Xia Gong is alive, I will feel uneasy in my heart!"
"Since it's the boy Xun Xia Yu." Tian Yan suddenly laughed and said, "How about letting me go? I'm just a commoner now, already a waste..."
"Ayan, please save some dignity!" Xia Yu scolded again. "Do you really think that the White Horse Master is a fool?"
"Maybe it can be done?" Tian Yan couldn't help but smile again, and then he immediately felt sad. "I just feel sorry for myself. After all, I have only been in the army for half my life. I have been famous for a while, and I have been famous in the world. I have been a judge of things, and I have been laughed at.
…But I never expected that I would end up dying like a wild dog beside the road, covered by weeds and leaves.”
"This is exactly what I want!" Gongsun Xun sighed. "Tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians, but because you still have that piece of cake, Wang Fu died like a wild dog on the side of the road!
You still have leaves, but they only have weeds!"
"You still want to deal with Mr. Duan?" Xia Yu, who had already accepted his fate, suddenly became angry, and then immediately started shouting and scolding regardless of the loss of physical strength. "Who do you think you are?! Just a military commander with some military exploits...
…Do you know how great a contribution Mr. Duan made to the Han Dynasty?”
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it." Gongsun Xun rubbed his hands again. "Xia Gong, you should be more respectable now that things have happened!"
When Yi Cong heard this, they all raised their swords and looked at their lord.
"After all, I fought a righteous battle, and I can be regarded as a national hero." Gongsun Xun ignored Xia Yu's yelling and whispered to Han Dang next to him. "Leave their bodies intact!"
Han Dang understood and immediately took the bow from his back and came directly behind Tian Yan. First he stepped on the man's back, then hooked the tendon bowstring around the neck of the former Xianbei Zhonglang general, and then
Twisting the bow, the latter struggled quickly.
When Xia Yu saw this, he yelled and scolded him even more.
Seeing such a situation, before Han Dang finished dealing with it one by one, Lu Fan, who had been silent for a long time, actually took a bow from Yiyi next to him, and then came behind Xia Yu without saying a word, and said something like this.
Following the example, he used a bowstring to strangle the neck of the commander of the east route of the army... Of course, he was also the one responsible for Bohai Gao Heng who committed suicide after a dispute with Lu Ziheng.
The struggle was actually very short, but the bowstring hung on the two men's necks for a full quarter of an hour before they dared to let it go, to ensure that the two men were completely dead.
Gongsun Xun said nothing and stood quietly for a long time. Then he suddenly threw down his big cloak and covered Xia Yu's body.
And before Lu Fan and others could follow up and ask, he turned around and walked out of the woods to the official road... Without the cloak, the cold wind in winter was biting, but at this time, Gongsun Xun felt relieved, and even his soul felt relieved.
It became clearer with the Qingming Festival.
I have to admit that the chickens in China and Taiwan are raising people!
———————I can’t afford the dividing line of chicken————————
"In the past, the Taizu of this dynasty complained about Xia Yu and Tian Yan because of the high affairs and the bad affairs in the border areas. He Yu and Yan were in vain. He knew that he lost the army and was blamed by the heroes, so he stayed in the mansion of Taiwei Duan Xi.
He didn't dare to move, and he was relieved to return home in the winter. When Taizu heard about it, he quickly sent Lu Fan, Han Dang, and Lou Gui to ambush dozens of troops by the roadside, and captured them calmly. Then he went to Taizu. Yan Nai begged to laugh.
He said: 'Yan has crippled a man, why should he be tied up?' Taizu also laughed: 'Since he has crippled a man, it is useless to keep him.' He killed him quickly. He added the word Yu, and Yu meant solemn appearance: 'I wish to see the face of the whole body'. Taizu nodded,
Then he killed him quickly with a bow and string, then took his cloak and covered his body. When he returned, no one knew about it!" - "Shishuo Xinyu", Chapter of Falsehoods
