The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xu Zhong's visit this time was the same as last time, but he also took advantage of the darkness of night. Before Xun Zhen fell asleep, she heard someone knocking on the door, and she saw Xu Zhong and greeted him inside. Xun Zhen and Xu Ji slept in the same room. Xu Ji got up in surprise when he saw that his brother was coming.

"Xu Jun, why are you here?"

Xu Zhong came quietly and did not disturb the people in the front yard. He nodded to Xu Ji and said to Xun Zhen, "I am here tonight for two things. One is missing my mother, so I came to visit; the other is to tell me something. Xun Jun."

Xun Zhen didn't ask what was going on, but looked outside the door. The night was dark, and there was no light in the room where Xu's mother lived on the opposite side. She probably fell asleep early, and said, "Mother has already slept. . . . It's not easy for Brother Zhong to come here once, so hurry up and call your mother up."

Xu Zhong held Xu Ji down and said, "This matter is not urgent. ..., Xun Jun, you know that I went to Yangzhai Huang's house. I heard something recently, which is of great importance, so I came to tell Xun Jun."

Xun Jun probably guessed what Xu Zhong was talking about, and asked, "But does the Huang clan want to steal from the north and come to the horse business?"

"Xun Jun knows?"

Xun Jun briefly explained Wu Gui's whistleblowing. Xu Zhong sighed: "The matter has not been done yet, it has already been leaked. Such a big case, I don't know how to keep it secret. Although the Huang family has the emperor's wet nurse to rely on, I am afraid it is not far from defeat!"

"So, this case is true?"

"Not at all."

Xun Zhen closed the door, lowered her voice, and asked, "The Huang family invited Xu Jun to help?"

Xu Zhong said: "I am in the Huang family. Although the Huang family treats me well, they are still distant. They didn't tell me about this. I heard it from a friend. Xun Jun knows that, I have a He told me that my friend was in Huang's house. The Huang family has been kind to me, and I shouldn't have disclosed the secret, but because I heard that they were planning to rob a horse at Fanyang Pavilion, I had to come and sue Xun. Sir."

Xun Zhen sensitively heard the meaning of his words: "Originally?"

"Yes. At first they planned to rob a horse at Fanyangting, but then they changed their minds and switched to Changsha (now Changge) to do it."

"But why?"

"Xun Jun has recently gathered hundreds of people to guard against pirates and to train the people in the village. He trained every three days. The momentum was very strong. The Huang family heard about it, and he was afraid that there would be changes because of this, so he changed the location of the horse robbery to Changshe. . . . ..., although he has changed places, who knows if he will change his mind again? So, I came here tonight to report this matter to Xun-Jun, so that Xun-Jun can make preparations early."

The Huang family temporarily changed the location of the crime, which was unexpected.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "It seems that my practice of gathering a crowd may be too early to build a team, but at least it has been quite successful in 'preparing for bandits'." Thanks Xu Zhong, and said: "You have traveled hundreds of miles, regardless of danger. , come and tell me about it. Zhen is deeply grateful."

"Compared to Jun En, what is this thing?"

Xu Ji couldn't help but interrupt, and said, "Brother, in the rich and noble county of the Huang clan, he does not want to repay the kindness of the country, but this is a matter of robbery and robbery; and the matter is not secret, and it has not been done before it has been known. Just as Brother A said. , this is the way to win or lose! Sooner or later, their family will be defeated. . .

Xu Zhong sighed and said, "I also have this intention! It's not because the Huang clan will be defeated sooner or later, but because of my family's clean reputation. You discuss this."

Xun Zhen advised: "Although the Huang family is rampant and lawless, it will not be defeated in a short period of time. Xu Jun will be wronged for a while, and wait until next year to see if the court has amnesty before making a decision!"

"Although I was taken care of by Xunjun, my mother lived in the pavilion, and there was no neighbor to talk and laugh, so I would feel depressed, and I was far away in the Huang family, so I couldn't take care of it, and because I was under the fence, I had to laugh and deal with the guests of the Huang family. , This is not the principle of being a son of man. I live like a year. Xun Jun, I have made up my mind, I will not leave this time."

"Don't go?"

"I want to surrender myself, please Xun-Jun lead me to the official temple tomorrow!"

"How can this be possible? When you enter the official temple today, just like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, there must be no return! Xu Jun, think twice!"

"I'd rather give up my life and die than my grandmother's long stay in the pavilion." Xu Zhong's decision was not a whim, but the result of his deliberation. He was extremely filial, and could not bear his mother living in Tingshe every day.

Xun Zhen persuaded him again and again, but he just didn't listen, helpless, gave Xu Ji a wink and asked Xu Ji to persuade him. Xu Ji said it was useless. Seeing that Xu Zhong seemed to have made up his mind, Xun Zhen lowered her head and thought, of course he would not sit by and watch Xu Zhong die, and suddenly thought of a solution, saying: "Xu Jun, I have a plan, which can save your life and save your life. The county released my mother to go home. Would you like to hear it?"

Xu Zhong didn't believe it, so he asked, "What's the plan?"

"Does Xu Jun know about Liu Xuan and Liu Shenggong?"

"Liu Shenggong?"

Liu Xuan and Liu Shenggong, the clan brother of Emperor Guangwu, were proclaimed Emperor Gengshi by the Green Forest Army in the last years of Xinmang. Xu Zhong heard about it and nodded.

"When Liu Xuan was cold, his younger brother was killed. He handed over the ranger and swordsman to seek revenge. But one of the people he handed over broke the law and confessed it, so he was hunted by the county officials. He ran to Pinglin was hiding in this place. The county officials imprisoned his father and tried to force him to surrender."

This is similar to Xu Zhong's experience. Xu Zhong asked, "What happened later?"

"Liu Xuan came up with a way to get the best of both worlds."

"any solution?"

"He cheated death and sent people home with mourning. The county official released his father, and he was able to escape and save his life."

"Cheat to death?"

"This is the best of both worlds. Since Jun Xu doesn't want his mother to stay in the pavilion for a long time, why not follow suit?"

Xu Zhong was silent.

Xu Jixi said: "This is a really good plan!" He regretted, "I also know about Liu Xuan's death, but why didn't I think of it?" He strongly persuaded Xu Zhong, "Brother, mother has always loved you, if you If I die, my mother will be devastated. The method that the eldest brother said is the best of both worlds!"

Xu Zhong was a little reluctant, how could "cheating death" be done by a man? But Xu Ji was also right, if he died, his mother would definitely be sad. On one side is his own reputation, and on the other side is his mother's sadness. He quickly made a choice and said, "Let's follow Xun Jun's plan! Xu Zhong will ask someone to return home tomorrow with a funeral and hide his death."

After making this decision, Xu Zhong was not in a hurry to see his mother. Anyway, in less than two days, his mother will be released and go home, and he will be able to secretly meet her mother by cheating death, so there is no rush. He said, "Mother has already gone to bed, so don't disturb me any more. Xun Jun, Xu Zhong will go to find friends to cooperate and cheat death. I won't stay any longer." After parting, he instructed Xun Zhen, "Huang's horse stealing, Jun Don't take it lightly, although they have changed to the long club, it is better to make some preparations~www.novelmt.com~ Thank you Xu Jun."

Taking advantage of the night, Xun Zhen sent him to the front yard. In order not to disturb Du Mai and the others, she did not open the door. She watched him come out nimbly and listened for a while. He said to Xu Ji, "Brother Zhong is as good as he is. In two days, you and your mother will be able to go home! Just in order to prevent her from taking it seriously, you can inform your mother in advance of Brother Zhong's plan to deceive him."

Xu Ji thanked him very much, replied yes, and said, "Thanks to eldest brother! My brother has always been stubborn. If it is not the eldest brother's good plan, I really don't know what to do."

"Why are you and my family talking about this? ..., go back to the house, don't wake up Du Jun and Huang Gong."

Xu Ji and Xun Zhen get along every day, although it is impossible to say that they will go together, but at least they are in the same room. He readily replied, "Okay." As he walked to the backyard, he said, "Mum will be very happy when she knows that she can return home, but it's just that the eldest brother will not be seen in the future. If the eldest brother is free, he must come to the house often. When I have time, I will definitely come to the pavilion often.”

"It's natural."

The two whispered and returned to the backyard house. Xu Ji was more excited and couldn't sleep, so he dragged Xun Zhen and talked for a while before turning off the lights and going to bed.

After Cheng Yan's work, according to Xu Zhong, there is no need to worry too much about the Huang family's affairs, and Xu Zhong's affairs have come to an end for the time being. Like a burden, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep soundly.

The night was deep, the moonlight was cold, and the occasional wind blew the elm tree in the courtyard, and the echo echoed in the quiet courtyard, like hearing someone's humming. In the corner of the prison, Wu Gui was disheveled and pale, curled up on the ground behind the door. He had already fallen asleep, perhaps dreaming of being released by Xun Zhen and returning home, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
