The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xu Zhong temporarily stayed in the pavilion. To be on the safe side, Xun Zhen ordered Chen Bao to find a reliable doctor and help him with medicine and dressing again.

The doctor was in his 40s and practiced medicine for many years. He had never seen such a serious facial injury. When he first saw it, he was really taken aback, but he didn't ask too much about the cause of the injury. After reading it, Xun Zhen gave him more money, and when she asked Chen Bao to send him away, she explained, "Tell him not to talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, Xun-Jun, I have known this person for many years, and he is a strict man."

In front of all the people in the pavilion, Xun Zhen said that "Xu Zhong" was a friend from out of town, but he told Chen Bao and Cheng Yan the truth. First, the two of them will not leak secrets; second, only with differentiated treatment can they show their attention, and only when it is shown who is valued, the "valued" people will realize that they are different from others, which will help the relationship between each other. further intimacy.

…

When Mother Xu returned home, Xun Zhen could move back to the house on the north side. Previously, because Xu's mother was old, she could use "respect for the old" as an excuse to give up the house in the north to Xu's mother, but now Xu Zhong is about the same age as him, and he is only "a friend from other places", obviously he can no longer give up the house. . Xun Zhen did not intend to give in, but invited Xu Zhong to live in the same room with him.

In this world, it is normal for men to sleep in the same bed. Like shaking hands, it is a symbol of deep friendship.

When Xun Zhen was a young student from Xun Qu, he had a good relationship with Xun You, and both of them had parents who died early, so they "sympathized with each other." Xun You was older than Xun Zhen, smarter than Xun Zhen, and more serious in his studies. When he came to Tan Xing, he often chatted with Xun Zhen in the middle of the night. Xun Zhen benefited a lot from him.

- The relationship between Xun Zhen and Xu Ji can be improved by leaps and bounds, making Xu Ji from the first doubts to today's trust, two people living in the same room is one of the important reasons. The longer you spend together, the more you will naturally get to know each other.

His friendship with Xu Zhong has not yet reached this level. The two have only met a few times. Xu Zhong is mostly grateful to him, and has not developed a good personal relationship. It should not be so presumptuous, but since After saying it, Xu Zhong hesitated a little, but agreed. Just like dancing at a banquet and not shaking hands when you should or should not shake hands, if you refuse to sleep in the same bed, it is also a disrespectful behavior.

However, although Xun Zhen invited him to live in the same room, it was not the idea of ​​"collapse and sleep together". He had been here for more than ten years, and he often lived with Xun You when he was a child, but to be honest, for two big men "collapse and sleep together" "I still don't get used to it, because I moved another bed indoors, the two beds are connected together, the place is also large, and it is comfortable to sleep.

There is still practice today, Xun Zhen can’t accompany Xu Zhong too much, and after settling him, he said, “Brother Zhong has a new face, it’s best not to go out these days, lest you get caught in the wind, which will make it difficult to heal. Limin is going to practice today, I need to direct and dispatch,... by the way, do Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, and Gao Bing know that Brother Zhong is back?"

After Xu Zhong left that night, he stayed outside for two days. Xun Zhen didn't know who he went to, so he asked this question.

Xu Zhong replied: "I only saw Jiang Qin, but the Gao brothers haven't met. I told Jiang Qin and told him not to tell anyone else, and don't come to me these few days."

"That's the best way. When Brother Zhong recovers from his injury and the limelight passes, it's not too late to get in touch with friends again." Xun Zhen was satisfied with Xu Zhong's caution, and said, "In this case, I'll go to practice Limin first." He smiled and said, "Unfortunately, Brother Zhong is injured and cannot drink alcohol, otherwise I can drink hard tonight!"

His expression and manner of speaking were very natural, as if he had known Xu Zhong for many years. When Xu Zhong was infected by him, he also smiled, and his face had just been bandaged again, and his smile was painful. However, Xu Zhong, as if nothing had happened, just frowned slightly and said, "Training Limin is the right thing to do, we can't delay."

…

It's the end of September, almost October. The wheat seedlings in the farmland have grown taller, and the horses are riding on the official road, and the left and right are all green. If the wind comes, the green waves ripple like a boat in the water. Xun Zhen pointed left and right and smiled: "Looking at the growth of this wheat seedling, next year will be a good harvest. Last year's epidemic killed many people, I just hope that God will open his eyes, so that these years can be good weather and return to the world. vigor."

Chen Bao smiled and said, "Yes. If there is a loss, there will always be a glory. Last year's epidemic really hurt the vitality of the people. Fortunately, this autumn harvest was not bad. Otherwise, this winter will probably be even more difficult."

Du Mai said: "Xunjun has been training Limin for several days. Not only has he changed his habit of training every five days last year, but he has also used Cuju as a means, which is really new and unexpected. My spirit has changed a lot. I am more and more daring to fight on the Cuju arena, even if my head is broken, I will not give up. According to this progress, in another month or so, I will definitely be able to cost the goblins. Keeping the pavilion safe..., even if there are more thieves this winter, don't worry."

Huang Zhong said, "That's right. Xun Jun's practice has paid off every day. ... But, Xun Jun, do you plan to only practice Cuju? Are you no longer training in hand fighting, archery, and swords?"

Cuju has two advantages. First, the confrontation is fierce, which can improve the physical fitness of the people; second, the two teams confront each other, which can cultivate the team spirit of the people. For Xun Zhen, there is a third advantage, that is, it can distinguish the abilities of the limin and select the outstanding ones. He said: "The training has just started, and it is necessary to use Cuju as a means to mobilize the limin to actively participate. It's just starting now, so it's not suitable to stop suddenly. I want to wait another half a month, just when the weather is cold, you can change to other training programs."

A few people talked, turned down the official road, and came to the training ground.

The limin who participated in the drill had long since changed their appearance of being late and late at first. Now they are very conscious and have all arrived early. Seeing Xun Zhen coming, everyone was lined up to welcome him, under the command of the team leader and the corporal leader.

Originally, the people in the villages were in awe of Xun Zhen, except for a few who were in awe of Xun Zhen. Most of them had no idea of ​​Xun Zhen’s temperament because they had never been in contact with him. Zhen is a kind person, treats people like a warm spring breeze, and keeps his promises, saying that if the winner will be rewarded with five buckets of rice grains, he will never be in arrears, and he is very fair when refereeing games and never favors one side. Their attitude towards Xun Zhen gradually turned into respect.

Later, just a few days ago, after Xun Zhen went to the township pavilion alone and convinced Gao Su, after the incident happened and spread, the attitude of the people in the village changed unconsciously.

The Gao family ran rampant in the township, and almost all the people in the township did not know about them. Everyone knew that Gao Su had beaten the village chief a few years ago. However, such a local tyrant was convinced by Xun Zhen, the head of Wai Ting Ting, who had just taken office! This is no small matter. When the people knew about it, they first disbelieved, then doubted, and finally surprised. When they looked at Xun Zhen again, they seemed to see something inexplicable and unclear in his kind face and fair judgement.

The original "respect" has become "respect and fear". - After these changes, up to now, it is not the "minority of the people" who revere Xun Zhen, but the "majority" of the people who are in awe of him.

Xun Zhen also noticed the changes in the people in the village. Standing at the front of the queue, she felt the awe-inspiring gaze of nearly a hundred people, and said to herself, "Looking through the history books, seeing the sages of the former Han and today's Han, there are often husbands to be their husbands. The five cauldrons, the sigh of running around the world..., although there are only a hundred people in front of them, but this feeling of being in awe of it is really enjoyable, and it is no wonder that people with aspirations do not want to be inferior to others!"

After he finished expressing his emotions, he reminded himself: "I gave up the county officials and didn't work, and came to Tingshe to take up my post, in order to save my life in the troubled times in the future. 'But it's not my pursuit." Remind me not to forget my purpose.

…

According to his instructions, the corps leaders of each team began to call the members of their corps. After the rolls were made, they reported to the leader, and the leader reported to the team leader, and the two teams led Du Mai and Chen Bao to report to Xun Zhen respectively. Said: "Our team is ready!"

In order to create a calm and steady image, Xun Zhen never said too much in formal occasions except in private. After hearing the news, she nodded lightly and said, "Now that we have arrived, let's start practicing."

Chen Bao and Du Maifen took their team to both sides of the field and began to select the players to play today. The people in the village are very active and scrambling to be the first. Chen Bao first selected the players, and after a while, Du Mai also selected the players.

Xun Zhen was still the referee, and with an order, the two teams went into battle.

- When the referee is very hard, there is no leisure for half a moment during the game, and he needs to pay attention to the situation on the field all the time. Chen Bao was afraid that Xun Zhen would be tired, and once suggested whether to take turns to be the chief referee. Xun Zhen declined.

He has his own ideas. It is tiring to be the referee, but if "cuju" is compared to "battle", the "chief referee" is the highest military judge. Most of the people in the village are not familiar with him. They grew accustomed to obeying their own orders, and at the same time erected an image of their own impartiality. This will not only make future drills more effective, but also help build a team.

…

After the first game, the front team won.

Representing the former team are Andingli and Jinglaoli, among which Jinglaoli is the main force, and five of the six are from Jinglaoli. As is customary, Xun Zhen handed out the reward on the spot, but found that although the members of the honorary group were happy, there seemed to be a trace of sadness between their brows and eyes.

He asked, "What's wrong?"
