Chapter 106 Road Encounter
Zhongshan, Wuji, Zhenfu.
Zhen Mi, who was only nine years old, had a bit of a mature look. Her tender cheeks were walking in the garden with two maids. She was seeing her brother Zhen Yao chatting and laughing with the middle-aged scholar named Mr. Ziyuan.
Are you talking about your marriage?
Although he tried hard to look dignified, Zhen Mi actually didn't have much concept of marriage. This time, Mr. Ziyuan came on the grounds of discussing his marriage with the second son of the Yuan family. Zhen Mi had quietly asked some good-looking maids, but the answers he got made Zhen Mi a little puzzled.
Generally speaking, I may have to live with the second young master I have never met in the future, just like my brother and sister-in-law.
"Mr. Ziyuan, then Lu Bu is brave enough to be a tyrant, and he is also strong in his army and horses. We may not be able to fight against him." Zhen Yao frowned and looked at Xu You, but was a little dissatisfied at this moment.
Although their Zhen family supports Yuan Shao, they are a wealthy merchant family after all. You can ask them to donate some money, but it is a bit difficult for them to fight against such powerful generals as Lu Bu.
"Xiyang, there is no need for the Zhen family to do this. I just hope that the Zhen family can hold Lu Bu for a day or two, and when our lord's army arrives, someone will go to deal with Lu Bu." Xu You smiled, but he was a little dissatisfied.
Originally, he thought that he had come in person and the Zhen family was right to follow his advice, but although Zhen Yao did not say it clearly, it was obvious that he did not support Xu You's plan.
He was dissatisfied, but he could not show it. Although the Zhen family was not a noble family, it was the number one rich businessman in Jizhou and even the world, and had made great contributions to Yuan Shao's financial formation. Otherwise, with Yuan Shao's arrogance, he would never let his son marry the daughter of a rich businessman.
Zhen Yao still frowned. Even if Lu Bu is really a fool, he would not know when the incident happened. If Lu Bu becomes fierce, he will die young. If he touches the entire Zhen family, the crime will be great.
Even though he knew this, he had already put some pressure on Xu You, so Zhen Yao had to obey. After all, Jizhou is Yuan Shao's base camp. No matter how rich the Zhen family is, it would not be difficult for Xu You in front of him to do it.
"In this way, I will follow the words of Mr.." Zhen Yao nodded and said.
"Very good." Xu You smiled and touched his beard and said, "I still have official duties to deal with, so I won't bother you and say goodbye."
"Sir, go slowly!" Zhen Yao kept sending Xu You out of the door, looking at the backs of Xu You and his group leaving, then sighed heavily and returned to the mansion.
Zhen Yao didn't know whether he could kill Lu Bu, but no matter what his Zhen family did, he couldn't get it.
"Third Brother." Zhen Mi saw the guest leaving, then approached Zhen Yao and said curiously: "What did Mr. Ziyuan say? Why is the third brother so unhappy?"
"Nothing happened." Looking at Zhen Mi's innocent cheeks, Zhen Yao smiled bitterly: "Some guests have come back from home these days, so sister should not run around these days."
"What kind of guest?" Zhen Mi said: "Is it a bad person?"
"Not counting." Zhen Yao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Whether it was Lu Bu or Yuan Shao, people like him could no longer be judged by their simple good or bad. The Zhen family was stuck in the middle this time, and it was really a dilemma, but Yuan Shao's fate must not be ignored. Brother Zhen Yan is now under Yuan Shao's command. Even if he wants to help, he may not be able to help.
But for the Zhen family, regardless of whether this person has malicious intentions or not, he may have to stand on the opposite side this time.
...
Lu Bu was almost passing Changshan with his men and horses at this moment.
"After passing Zhongshan, you can go directly to Yanmen County." Zhang Liao looked at the map on the horse's back, turned his head to look at Lu Bu and said, "It's just that in the past few days, the counties along the way have not made things difficult. Is it too weird?"
"What's weird?" Wei Xu smiled and said, "Wen Yuan was too careful. The lord's power is the best in the world. How dare some minor officials act rashly!"
Lu Bu didn't say anything, whether it was under Yuan Shu or under Yuan Shao before, although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao respected him very much, Lu Bu could feel the arrogance and disdain of his genius on both sides, including his advisers and generals. Wei Xu's words might have made Lu Bu happy if they were in the past, but now they can only be used as comfort.
A fork appeared in front of him, and Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao.
"This..." Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and looked at the simple map in his hand, shook his head: "Let's find someone to ask."
While we were talking, we heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and two knights rushed from a distance, and it seemed that they were about to pass by this place.
"Two heroes, can you stop?" Zhang Liao rushed forward and stopped the two of them.
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao in confusion. He saw that there was a large army here and he was unwilling to do anything, so he was preparing to bypass it, but Zhang Liao still blocked his way. He reached out to stop Xiahou Lan's urge to take action, clasped his fists and said, "I wonder what happened to this general who called the two brothers?"
Although Zhao Yun was a military general, he had a temperament that was willing to be close to him, which made Zhang Liao feel close to him. He replied, "We want to go to Bingzhou, but we are not familiar with this place. I wonder if this hero can know the way and give us some advice."
Zhao Yun nodded and pointed to a fork in the road: "From that road can reach Wuji, after passing Wuji, we will travel a hundred miles northwest to Yanmen. When the general goes to Wuji, he can ask someone to ask."
"This..." Zhang Liao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's so inconvenient for us to be aware of our identity. I wonder if this hero has time to lead the way for us. As long as we arrive at Yanmen, we will thank you."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he felt a little embarrassed: "Please forgive me, the general. We are eager to return to our hometown. We will go to Yanmen for at least half a month or as long as one month. I am afraid that it will delay a lot of itinerary back and forth."
"You have already said you thank you very much. Are you afraid that I will break my promise?" Wei Xupao immediately stepped forward and stared at him impatiently.
Zhao Yun's face turned cold. If he had spoken as kindly as Zhang Liao, he would not have said it gently, but Wei Xu's condescending attitude was really not good.
Zhao Yunshang could hold back, but Xiahou Lan was already angry and snorted coldly: "Just, Zilong has already said that we are eager to return home, which is not convenient for you to lead the way. Besides, who knows who you are? Could it be that you have to rely on the strength of the people?"
"Haha, I am a general in the world and I have never seen you speak so loudly. Come on, let me see your ability." Wei Xu sneered, slapped him forward, and said to Zhang Liao without looking back: "Wen Yuan, let's take a moment here, let me teach this person who is ignorant of the world."
Xiahou Lan also raised her gun and shouted: "Zilong should stop me, I will teach this rude person a lesson."
Before Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun could speak, the two of them had already fought together.
