0471 Dogs and horses
On the simple bamboo building by the river, Huan Wen took a sip of the wine in front of him, while staring at the young man in front of him who was quite impressed, and even had a life-saving grace for him.
It's just that compared with the memory, this young man seems to have a lot of vicissitudes, and the most obvious change is that he is blind in one eye and covered it with a leather blindfold, which makes the whole person's appearance change from the original delicate to a little fierce and hideous.
"My face is inevitably abrupt. It's just that when I see each other, I can't help but say goodbye, worship each other with a cheeky face, and hope that Xianlang will not be blamed. ”
Sitting opposite Huan Wen was Hurun Hu Houze, who commanded the barbarian ghost pawn last year and was in chaos, compared with the past, he was more mature and very enthusiastic about Huan Wen.
"Why did Brother Xian say this? Last year, thanks to Brother Xian's release, I was able to survive. Saving your life, you don't have deep thanks, how dare you get tired! Besides, the charge ......"
Speaking of this, Huan Wen paused in his voice, realizing that the other party's battle formation was not a glorious thing, but a loss caused by chaos, and he was a little to blame.
After turning this section, Huan Wen said again: "Haven't you asked Brother Hu not to come to the encounter?" Why did you come to Jiankang? This place is dangerous, although Brother Hu has righteousness, but it is also ...... Alas, if there is something difficult to do, you might as well speak up. Although I don't have a famous book, after my father donated to the country, he always left some old friendships. If you can help, it is incumbent on you! ”
Hearing Huan Wen's words, he seemed to think that he had come to Duzhong to clear his name, Hu Rundang smiled, pointed to the many boats outside the building and said with a smile: "The past is gone, don't worry too much." Now there are many people coming and going in this waterway, if I say that more than half of them are rebellious, do you believe Huan Lang or not? ”
When Huan Wen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but be even more agitated, and he looked incredulous. He is now nearly crowned, and his mind is still full of youthful innocence, and he actually doesn't believe Hurun's words. But seeing the truth, this Hurun's remarks are undoubted, but he can walk on the streets of Jiankang without panic at all, and he can't help but believe it.
Believing or not believing is secondary, and the key is not acceptable. Even for Hu Run, Huan Wen's senses are extremely complicated, on the one hand, he is the grace of the other party to save his life, on the other hand, if it were not for these outlaws who rebelled, his father might not have died for the country!
But now, the loyal are dry bones in the grave, and the rebels are swaggering! In such a world, is there any black and white to speak of? Is there any morality to speak of? And what is the significance of his father's sacrifice?
Seeing Huan Wen's face change, Hu Run could probably understand what he was thinking, he put his hands on the case and sighed: "In today's world, there has been chaos for a long time, morality is difficult to prosper, the wind and rain are like obscurity, and the rooster crows. The mediocre are just trying to survive, and they will inevitably be physically and mentally dirty. In today's world, uphold loyalty, practice, and practice with death, Huan Neishi is a true celebrity, a true countryman! ”
When Huan Wen heard this, his mood improved a little, but he still couldn't completely let go. At this time, he had already noticed that Hurun was dressed beautifully, and there was no lack of scenery behind him, which was far from being comparable to himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. It's not that he is out of balance because of bad circumstances, but because it is incompatible with the values he has held since childhood.
Hurun looked at Huan Wen, and there was no lack of emotion in his heart. Many things can't be seen on the surface, but at the moment, he and Huan Wen are indeed not equal, he is rich, but Huan Wen has no longevity. But if you look at it from a longer-term perspective, his road is getting narrower and narrower, while Huan Wen's road is getting wider and wider. If they belong to each other, the final result will be a judgment of cloud and mud.
Last year, when Hurun was chasing Han Huang, he was captured by the Dongyang army, and he was very trapped for a while, and he was released after giving up all the gains from the plunder. However, because he was ostracized during the chaos of the army, most of the gains were converted into people, and a considerable part of them had been settled elsewhere and did not move with the army, so the losses were not large.
This kind of private traitor may be a big crime in other eras, but in today's terms, it is actually normal. Each other can't even be said to be their own masters, there is no mortal enmity in the first place, even if the Dongyang Army kills him, but it is only a little military merit that is difficult to fulfill, but if he is released, he may get the wealth he has hidden.
After being lucky to survive, although Hurun's vitality was greatly damaged, it was not defeated. This is due to the fact that he arranged a lot in advance, took back the wealth people who were hiding separately, and then hid in the mountains where the barbarians lived for a period of time, and when the limelight passed, he changed his identity and walked in the world.
Because his foundation is in the barbarian department, he is outside the royal system, and his appearance is ruined, and the investigation he suffered afterwards is even more negligible.
However, Hurun was determined to revive his family business, and was unwilling to die in the mountains and forests, taking advantage of Wang Shu's arrival in Jiangzhou to pacify the place, and with the advantage of being familiar with the mountains and forests, he led his subordinates to clear out some barbarians, and at the same time reaped their profits, he also sought a military position under the Jiangzhou government.
However, Hurun has little interest in operating in Jiangzhou, on the one hand, he has long been treated coldly by Wang Shu, and now his appearance is ruined, and he knows that there will be no future under his command. On the other hand, Jiangzhou is his hometown, and the old relatives have withered, but there are still some hometown feuds, and he doesn't want to fall into the township struggle when his strength is low.
So after the limelight passed, he simply abandoned his official position and led the people to the north, wanting to seek an opportunity to advance.
Seeing Huan Wen today, in fact, it was not a chance encounter. Hurun actually doesn't have any specific way in the capital, and the only thing that can be used is Huan Wen's life-saving grace. So after arriving in Jiankang, he sent people to collect information about the Huan family.
However, the information that came back was not optimistic, and Huan Wen did not soar because of his father's old name of loyalty, and even his life was in trouble and could not continue. To a certain extent, Hurun's investment can be said to have failed, not to mention that Huan Wen has promoted him, and even his own revival of the family business is very slim.
From this, Hurun also realized that although he was not lacking in resourcefulness, he was too far away from the upper echelons after all, and many things could only be guessed, but he often made mistakes.
Huan Wen's current predicament, when Hurun learned more about the factional differences in the current capital, gradually came to his senses.
When Huan Yi was alive, he was recommended as Jiangzuo Bada, but the main echo in the current situation is still the old Chinese book Ling Yu Liang. As soon as Yu Liang died, the popularity of the Yu family was already in great decline, Yu Yi, who was originally in charge of the stage, was driven out of Jiankang, and the rest of the brothers were also scattered, not in a prominent position, and it was impossible to have the spare strength to pull the Huan family.
Yangman, who is also Jiangzuo Bada and is also loyal to the country, because his family is backed by Qingxu Gaomen, he is grieved and noble after his death, and his brothers and sons are of great use. And because of the collapse of the Huan family, even life fell into trouble for a while.
From this point of view, Hurun has no need to contact Huan Wen, he is not a good gentleman, and he has no friendship with the Huan family. Since you can't use it, you just don't bother with it.
However, there is another thing that gives Hurun new hope. That is, there is a lot of discussion in the capital now, and Shen Zhezi, the captain of the horse, asked the center to ask for a proposal to collect the bones of the old ministers of Zhongxing and move them to the tomb!
For Hurun, this news is like seeing a glimmer of light in the long night, even if you have to chase it with all your might! Although his family was also a wealthy family of Yuzhang in the early years, it had been weakened for a long time, and there were no ancestors who could be called Zhongxing old ministers and were buried near Jiankang City. However, Huan Wen has it!
Hurun explained Huan Wen earlier, just to solve a good karma, even if he didn't get the expected return, he actually didn't feel any pity. But for Shen Hou, the commander of the horses, he can't be calm!
If in today's situation, we must choose a character that Hurun admires, it must be Shen Hou! Shen Zhezi's deeds have now spread all over Jiangdong, and I don't know how many aspiring children of the poor family have been inspired, and Hurun is one of them. If you want to express your admiration for Shen Zhezi, you can only use this sentence to say, willing to be a dog and a horse!
Although this colt was only born in Wuzhong's local tyrant Wuzong, with his own efforts, he not only led the entire family, but also became the leader of the younger generation in Jiangdong! The reputation is unmatched!
And for Hurun, a more important point is that this horse is eclectic in employing talents! He knew that Han Huang, the rebel general he hunted down and killed last year, was saved by this concubine! Compared with Han Huang, he may not have such a high reputation for daring to fight, but he is by no means a mediocre person.
No matter how you compare, Hurun feels that with his current situation, only by investing in the horse can he be driven and have more opportunities!
However, although he was willing to be a dog and horse, he had no way to enter. When he entered the capital earlier, he also used a lot of money to make friends with the people of the time, and wanted to ask for a way to worship under the door of the horse. But when others laugh at his money, when they hear about his family background and the like, they are often estranged and refuse to be introduced.
After a long period of hardship, Hurun finally saw this opportunity, and Hurun could not miss it no matter what. If Huan Wen doesn't go out today, he will have to come to visit.
Huan Wen was still sitting there and tangled, but he saw that the lady Ah Kui under the bamboo tower was sitting on a beautiful ox cart, and her father was following her, and the whole person was striding forward, without any sadness. He was curious, and hurriedly walked to the window of the bamboo building, wanting to see more realistically.
Hu Run followed, stood beside Huan Wen and said with a smile: "The young man is sad, and half of Tai can't help himself. Although Huan Lang is affectionate, he can't have Qu Xiaoyi. I deeply admire this. In the future, I will stay in the capital for a long time, and temporarily guard this friendship for Huan Lang. After the full ceremony, I will send it to the house. ”
"This, this...... Senior Brother Hu treats me kindly, I really deserve it! ”
Huan Wen is not a ruthless person, otherwise he would not be troubled by a former neighbor and today's prostitute, and he has repeatedly benefited from Hurun, and he can't help but be grateful for a while. At this time, he no longer worries about Hurun's old traces. The princes of Taichung are not exhaustive about this, he is just an ordinary person who benefits from others, and he has to analyze what loyalty!
"When I saw Huan Lang today, I remembered something. Recently, there have been many words in the capital, and I don't know if Huan Lang has heard of it? Huan Neishi is loyal to the country, and it is appropriate to talk about it! ”
When Huan Wen heard this, his eyes darkened, and he sighed: "I have also heard about this matter, and I originally planned to go to the house to ask for it." But what I'm in right now...... Alas, I know that the colt is not a cold-eyed person, but he is disturbed in his heart and ashamed to see his old friends. ”
It's not that he doesn't have the idea of going to see Shen Zhezi, but every time he goes to the front of the house, he sees how prominent the other party is, after all, he is a little ashamed of himself, and he is not close to Shen Zhezi on weekdays.
"Why is Huan Lang unwise! If a colt can make this statement, you can know that his heart is magnificent. Please see that it is for the honor of the ancestors, how can it be limited to the honor and disgrace of one person! ”
Hurun's eyes lit up after hearing this, but his face was distressed, and he immediately persuaded him.
