Hearing that the comers were the Marquis of Yongning, the Mu of Pingzhou, and the generals of Duliao, the attitude of Xiang Yong's vigilance and hostility immediately took a 180-degree turn.

A military general who seemed to be the leader stepped forward, bowed down, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, this will be passed on to your guests!" ”

"No need, wouldn't it be too rude to let the dignified Yongning Hou and Pingzhou Mu wait outside the door for a long time?"

As soon as the leader finished speaking, he saw a man in his twenties striding forward, his expression indifferent and his face elegant. Just looking at his appearance, he didn't tell that just a few minutes ago he was surrounded by tens of thousands of hostile armies.

"Brother Zhicai, it's great that you're okay!"

When Xun Yu saw the man coming, he suddenly perked up, walked two steps quickly across everyone, and held the man's arms and said excitedly.

"Thank you Brother Wen Ruo for bringing people to the rescue, Zhicai is grateful!" After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, he turned around and saluted Shang Ji: "The grace of saving your life is unforgettable!" ”

"Mr. Xi's words are serious, he is not here, there are more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and he must not be able to help Mr. at all!"

Shang Ji's words were not entirely polite, Xun Yu's perverted skills and equipment directly reversed Shang Ji's impression of the combat effectiveness of top scribes.

It is true that the top scribes are far inferior to the generals of the same level in terms of combat effectiveness, but the top scribes are by no means weak scholars who are powerless.

Even because the skills of the scribes are strange and the methods are endless, the top generals may be disgraced by them if they are careless.

Xi Zhicai was noncommittal, his body was on one side, and he bowed down and said: "The king has come from afar, Zhong has prepared a little wine, and please come to the general!" ”

"Sir, please!"

After a polite referendum, Shang Ji and his party entered the village.

The small village was still a little flustered, and it had not yet escaped from the tense atmosphere of the enemy's overwhelming territory.

However, when everyone in the village saw Xi Zhicai, their panicked expressions were immediately relieved, and they greeted one after another: "Mr. Xi, I heard that the enemy army has retreated?" I wonder if it's true? ”

"Teacher, teacher, are the wicked really gone?"

"Teacher, did you beat the wicked man?"

…………………………

Xi Zhicai was soon surrounded by villagers large and small.

In the face of everyone's encirclement, Xi Zhicai was not angry, leaned over and picked up a child with a sky-high mustache, pinched his little face affectionately, and said loudly: "The bad guys were beaten away by those uncles, thank you uncle!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

The little guy is not afraid of people, he turned his head in Xi Zhicai's arms, and the crisp and pleasant voice sounded in Shang Ji's ears.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Uncle is amazing!"

"When I grow up, I want to be as good as my uncle!"

……………………

When a group of yellow-haired children heard that it was Shang Ji who drove away the enemy army, they immediately surrounded them excitedly, noisily expressing their joy and admiration.

How did Shang Ji experience this scene? In the face of this innocent child, he was in a hurry for a while.

Xi Zhicai saw Shang Ji's embarrassment, and hurriedly spoke out to help him out of the siege.

"Okay, well, sir and uncles still have something, you should go home quickly, you can't forget your homework, sir, I have to check. Whoever doesn't finish it will be beaten in the palm of his hand! And remember to listen to Aya! ”

"Goodbye, sir!"

"Goodbye, uncle!"

Obviously, Xi Zhicai has a very high prestige here, and even children are willing to listen to him, and a small ghost salutes and says goodbye to Xi Zhicai and Shang Ji.

"The child is stubborn, please ask General Haihan for offense!"

Xi Zhicai turned around and smiled at Shang Ji, and said slightly apologetically.

"Hoo ......"

Seeing Xiao'er go away, Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he would rather fight with the top generals than face such a group of children, just now he didn't even know where to put his hand.

"Mr. Zhicai is serious!" Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Shang Ji waved his hand and said.

Xi Zhicai smiled and invited everyone into a room.

The cottage is a bamboo house, and the decoration is not luxurious in any way, but it has a bit of freshness and elegance, and the meaning of tranquility is far-reaching.

"You may be seated!"

Xi Zhicai waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take a seat.

After the guest of honor sat down, he drank a cup of tea, and Shang Ji didn't go around in circles, and opened the door and said: "Ji came this time, first, Wen Ruo and Mr. have not seen each other for a long time, and came to catch up with Mr.; The second is that Wen Ruo once said that Mr. Zai Xia Yan is a genius and has the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes. Ji acknowledged by the imperial court, commissioned Pingzhou pastor, now is lacking such a talent as Mr., if Mr. is not despicable, please also ask Mr. to help me! ”

In the face of Shang Ji's solicitation, Xi Zhicai did not answer directly, he was silent for a moment, he pointed to the door and asked, "What does the general think of this place, and how is it compared to an ordinary Han village?" ”

"The environment is quiet, the name of the village is simple, the old have support and education, it is a paradise, and ordinary villages are far from it!"

"What does the general think causes this distinction?"

Shang Jihu glanced at Xi Zhicai suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "Is it because of Mr.?" ”

"Not bad!" Xi Zhicai was not modest, and nodded calmly: "When I first entered the official career as a small official, I was ostracized because of my family's opinion, so I gave up my official position in a fit of anger and came here to live in seclusion. ”

"At the beginning, the people here did not have enough food and clothing, let alone teach children to learn. There are even several ruffians in the village who oppress the village! ”

Yu entered this place alone, persuaded the scoundrel, made him repent, and formed a village to protect the villagers; Treat sick villagers, teach villagers to farm, hunt and breed, persuade people to be kind, and train young children to learn. After two years in this place, Rongcun has a bumper harvest of grains, six animals are prosperous, the people are harmonious, the road is not left behind, and the people all respect me, respect me, and love me! ”

Xi Zhicai seemed to be a little excited, stood up and said loudly.

"Sir, great talent!" Shang Ji was a little confused by Xi Zhicai, this kind of achievement is indeed worth boasting about for ordinary people, but for a scribe of Xi Zhicai's level, it is a pediatric, and he doesn't understand what Xi Zhicai means by saying this.

"General Shang, you say, why did I leave behind the villagers who kissed me, respected me, respected me, and got along with me day and night for two years, and went to Pingzhou, thousands of miles away?"

Xi Zhicai suddenly looked back, stared at Shang Ji with his eyes, and asked loudly.

Shang Ji suddenly realized that this drama was to get along with the villagers day and night, and he had feelings, and he relocated to the land and didn't want to leave.

"Mr. Xi, I wonder if you have any understanding of the general trend of the world?"

If you understand the problem, then it's easy to say, Shang Ji smiled slightly and asked loudly.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion is over, and the world seems to be peaceful, but the dark tide under the calm is surging, and Mr. Yi's gaze does not need to say much. Mr.'s ability will never be doubted, but Mr. is alone after all, even if Mr. has a way to deal with these more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers today, what if 50,000 come tomorrow? What about 100,000? Or even a million? Will the gentleman still have the ability to protect this out-of-this-world land? ”

Without waiting for Xi Zhicai to answer, Shang Ji continued, each of these sentences dealt a heavy blow to Xi Zhicai, making Xi Zhicai's face more and more difficult to look at.
