Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

This time Zhang Liao brought a total of 500 people to meet Li Yi, stationed outside Deng County, and met Li Yi today, because it was too close to Xiangyang City, in order not to make Liu Biao supercilious, Zhang Liao only brought 100 people here.

Then Li Yi focused on what Zhang Liao had seen along the way, focusing on the attitude of the county officials along the road towards Zhang Liao and his group. Zhang Liao also answered them one by one. Among the county officials, there were no idiots who came out to make things difficult. On the contrary, many people were willing to get close to Zhang Liao. Not only did they provide them with normal food and drink, but they also provided them with a lot of wine and meat. The intention of friendship was very obvious.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yi and his party arrived in Deng County, and the two groups of people joined together. More than 500 people formed a queue and began to march towards Wancheng. They passed by many counties and villages. Li Yi didn't put on airs at all, and took the line of being close to the people. Whenever anyone wanted to see him, no matter how high or low he was, Li Yiquan would talk to him a few words. Although he was young, he definitely deserved the evaluation of "kind and amiable".

But Zhang Liao, Dianwei and the others were a little disturbed. They were really afraid that Li Yi would be assassinated again, especially Dianwei. Almost every stranger looked suspicious. A little bloating.

Different from them, Zhuge Xuan, who is slightly marginalized, is very satisfied with Li Yi's actions. Although Li Yi's performance in some details is slightly insufficient, judging from Li Yi's speech and behavior along the way, such A prefect is definitely not too bad, let alone harm the people under his rule.

Seeing Li Yi send off a few old folks with a smile, Zhuge Xuan also showed a slight smile on his face, but soon, this smile turned into a wry smile, and at the same time he couldn't help coughing lightly. After a few days of rushing, although Huang Xu's body and Huang Yueying's female relatives made it difficult to walk fast, Zhuge Xuan still suffered from a little bit of wind and cold.

After straightening his collar, Zhuge Xuan was about to look at Li Yi again, but he saw Huang Chengyan approaching him, and asked him with concern: "I think my brother looks bad, but you are still worried about the safety of your family?

These days, Zhuge Xuan and Huang Chengyan chatted a lot, and they were more speculative, they were already brothers.

In fact, Li Yi also wants to get closer to Zhuge Xuan, but Zhuge Xuan is too serious, and he always carries a touch of melancholy, with a sad temperament. Facing this kind of person, unless Li Yi hits people with dry goods, he is really It's hard to make friends.

Zhuge Xuan sighed: "They were sent to Shouchun, and there was no news after that. Although normally, Yuan Shudang would not kill them, it's just that my heart is always up and down."

Huang Chengyan nodded empathetically, and sighed, "It's really difficult. That person is Yuan Shu. Although he comes from a famous family, he acts like a rogue man. Otherwise, if the state shepherd came forward, he should have sent his brother's family back."

Zhuge Xuan's face was even more bitter when he heard it, but Huang Chengyan seemed unable to see it, and asked again: "My good brother was born in Langya, and he has a lot of friends, is it possible that no one among them can make peace in front of Yuan Shu?"

Zhuge Xuan said shamelessly: "Brother Huang is making fun of him, the state shepherd is helpless now, how can I do anything?"

After hearing this, Huang Chengyan nodded slightly, then showed hesitation, opened his mouth, and quickly closed it again, as if he was in a dilemma. Zhuge Xuan originally thought that Huang Chengyan was feeling sorry for himself, but looking at it, he felt Something was wrong, my heart moved, and I blurted out, "Could it be that elder brother can help me?"

Chapter 234 Zhang Ji's Junior Brother

Huang Chengyan's face tightened when he heard the words, his eyebrows were raised, and he said in a panic: "Ah, this, this, Brother Yu is just an idler in the mountains, how can he have such abilities?"

Seeing Huang Chengyan's refusal, Zhugexuan couldn't help being more excited when he saw Huang Chengyan's refusal, so he grabbed Huang Chengyan and shouted: "Brother!"

A tangled look flashed across Huang Chengyan's face, he paused, and hurriedly declined. Seeing this, Zhuge Xuan almost concluded that Huang Chengyan must have some solution, and couldn't help shouting again: "Brother!"

"You, you are"

Huang Chengyan hesitated, his current expression, not to mention Zhuge Xuan, even a child could tell that what he said before was not true.

"Brother! If my brother can be rescued, my Zhuge family is willing to set up a longevity tablet for my brother, and I will worship it day and night from now on!"

Zhuge Xuan didn't know why Huang Chengyan was so entangled, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he wanted to give Huang Chengyan a big gift.

He is also really anxious, after so many days, his family is left outside, he has nothing to do, and Liu Biao is also at a loss what to do, it makes him anxious at night nightmare, in a trance during the day, every day is suffering, now the whole person seems It's already a walking dead.

In fact, Zhuge Xuan felt that if he went on like this, he might not be able to hold on until he saw those poor nephews, and once he let go, who would care about his nephews' lives? ?

Although Huang Chengyan only revealed a glimmer of possible hope in his words and expressions, to Zhuge Xuan, it was a life-saving straw. Not to mention that Huang Chengyan had been able to chat with him recently, even if he knew it was a poisonous bait, he would still take it.

"Brother, you must not be like this, alas, you are a foolish brother!"

Huang Chengyan also held onto Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Xuan's eyes were already filled with tears, Huang Chengyan couldn't help feeling soft when he saw it, he stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, let it be, come, come with your ears, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me, Afterwards, you must not say that I said it, otherwise not only will I be blamed, but my daughter will also be implicated and punished."

Zhugexuan saw that there was a door, he felt relieved immediately, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, brother, I only want a third person to know what my brother said, and he must call me heaven."

Zhuge Xuan was about to swear an oath, his face was startled suddenly, his mind turned around, and he asked in surprise: "Could it be that the elder brother is talking about the Marquis Xiang?"

Huang Chengyan looked to the left and right, then nodded slightly, Zhuge Xuan stood there for a moment, not so excited for the time being, but his face was very puzzled, and asked again: "If Zhou Mu can't, what about Xianghou?"

"Are some things so simple on the surface?"

Huang Chengyan glanced at Zhuge Xuan with hatred, lowered his voice a little, and said, "Actually, if you inquire about it yourself, you should be able to think of Marquis Xiang, but you panicked and lost your position!"

Zhuge Xuan's mind was indeed a little messed up, he didn't understand what was going on, so he saluted humbly and said: "I also ask my brother to give me some guidance."

There was an imperceptible smile in Huang Chengyan's eyes, as well as a hint of helplessness. He cleared his throat and sighed in a low voice: "Oh, I'll tell you."

Huang Chengyan muttered to Zhuge Xuan for a while, Zhuge Xuan was shocked at first, and then overjoyed, and was about to take a step to find Li Yi, but he froze in place after only two steps, and his face appeared again. The color of confusion and worry.

What Huang Chengyan was talking about was nothing else but the various relationships between Li Yi and the Yuan family. He said frankly that if Li Yi went to Yuan Shu, it would be better than Liu Biao's black ink.

In this case, Zhuge Xuan naturally asked Li Yi for help, but he immediately discovered that there seemed to be many headaches hidden in it.

He was in Yuzhang before, so it's fine if he didn't know the relationship between Li Yi and Yuan Shu, but Liu Biao must have known about it, and some officials in Jingzhou might also know about it, but why didn't anyone tell him about it?

Why is Liu Mingming so embarrassed, but has no intention of asking Li Yi to help?

Also, in terms of status, although Zhuge Xuan is also Li Yi's subordinate, unlike Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and others, he is obviously not a direct descendant, and he may even be "undercover". Why did you ask Li Yi to help?

You know, favors are used once less. Although Yuan Shu was ugly in Nanyang before, and fought several battles with Liu Biao, he never had any signs of fighting with Li Yi. Regardless of whether Yuan Shu had other ideas in mind at the time, but On the surface, it is to repay Li Yi's favor.

A Nanyang, the affection of the Yuan family is quite valuable.

Therefore, Zhuge Xuan had to weigh it, what could he give Li Yi, and why should Li Yi pay for him?

Zhugexuan thought for a while, but he didn't have any idea, his face became sad again, and he could only look at Huang Chengyan again, but Huang Chengyan spread his hands, and flatly refused: "Young brother, don't look at me again, I just know that Xianghou It may be able to save people, but how can we talk about mobilizing Marquis Xiang to save people? It's really powerless."

Zhuge Xuan thought for a while, and couldn't help but said: "May I ask your love?"

Before Zhuge Xuan finished speaking, Huang Chengyan shook his head and said, "She is just a disciple of Marquis Xiang, how can she have such a big face?"

Zhugexuan didn't think that the relationship between Huang Yueying and Li Yi was pure, but he couldn't say this, otherwise it would be a trivial matter for Huang Chengyan to turn his face. Huang Yueying went to Li Yi's bedside to blow the wind and speak ill of him, that would be really terrible.

Huang Chengyan watched his virtuous brother gradually fall into deep thought, patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, then took three steps with his hands behind his back and sighed, and walked slowly towards the distance, but as he walked further and further away, Huang Chengyan's face A little bit of shame began to appear slowly.

He really seldom calculates people.

However, Huang Chengyan was ashamed and curious at the same time. Just as Zhuge Xuan was worried about how to impress Li Yi, Huang Chengyan also knew that favors were precious, and Zhuge Xuan himself could only be regarded as a good official, but not a capable minister, and was not worthy of Li Yi's use at all. Yuan family's favor to win over.

As for other things, Zhuge Xuan was alone in his family, and Liu Biao gave him even the traveling expenses, so what else should Li Yi Neng care about?

Huang Chengyan walked for a while and decided to ask his daughter, he was really curious

In the evening of this day, when Li Yi and his team arrived in Nieyang, they planned to rest overnight in Nieyang and hurry on their way early tomorrow. If everything went well, they could reach Wancheng before dark tomorrow.

Along the way, although Li Yi is close to the people, he will personally meet the visitors regardless of their status. However, this does not mean that Li Yi does not care about his own safety. Taking rest at night as an example, he would rather camp in the wild than in the city overnight.

Of course, Li Yi is a cheater, and when he is really in danger, a city wall can't stop him at all, but Li Yi feels that if he really falls to that point, he will fail too much as a traverser, and, If he can run, can his subordinates run?

However, the situation tonight is a little different, because Nieyang is Zhang Ji's hometown, Li Yi rests in Nieyang, and Zhang Ji, as the landlord, has absolutely no reason for Li Yi to camp in the wild. For work, there are still many things in his home that need to be taken away along the way.

Zhang Ji invited Li Yi to spend the night at his home, Li Yi naturally agreed, Zhang Liao Dianwei and others had no objection, after all Zhang Ji felt pretty good to others, no one thought he might harm Li Yi.

For Li Yi's arrival, the Zhang family was very happy.

Zhang Ji's father used to be an official in the court before his death, and now many of the clan's children are also serving as officials. Li Yi is naturally happy to make good friends with them. After all, with Zhang Ji's relationship, the two sides have a certain amount of common ground. Benefits, in the future when Li Yi selects and dispatches officials, under the same circumstances, the children of the Zhang family will definitely receive certain preferential treatment.

After some banquets, considering that Li Yizhou was exhausted, the Patriarch of the Zhang family asked Li Yi to rest in another courtyard that had been cleaned earlier, but Li Yi was in good spirits and asked Zhang Ji to take him with him. After looking around, especially after looking at the Zhang family's collection of books, he implicitly expressed that he planned to make a copy of these books. Zhang Ji had long been aware of this, so naturally he had no reason to disagree.
