Yingchuan West City.

Lu Yao took Zhao Yun to a very dilapidated house. It is located on the edge of the western city, near the city wall, and is a very remote dwelling, inhabited by poor people.

Seeing that Lu Yao was dressed up, followed by a handsome general, the people hid in the house one after another. Yingchuan has just finished fighting. The people were especially wary of the generals in military uniforms.

"Anyone?" Zhao Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

There was no movement in the courtyard, as if no one was home. Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Lord, this family may have fled from the city to escape the scourge of war." ”

"Try again." Lu Yao smiled and didn't say anything, just ordered Zhao Yun to continue calling the door.

Zhao Yun is an excellent general who is loyal to his liver and courage. failed to get Lu Yao's explanation, he still continued to call the door, without any complaints, let alone impatience.

Lu Yao waited with his hands in his hands, very patient.

In the previous life, Yingchuan was also won by the player with Huangfu Song. As soon as a few clever players entered the city, they searched for Yingchuan Academy in an attempt to recruit talents first. In fact, Yingchuan Academy does not exist, and the Yingchuan Academy set in the game is not a college, but a general term for private learning.

Searching around to no avail, the players found many scribes, including Xun Yu Xun Yu. So Lu Yao learned the truth about Yingchuan Academy from the forum. However, it doesn't matter how Yingchuan Academy is, the important thing is that Xun Yu who he wants to find on this trip is hiding in this dilapidated house.

Bocai led the Yellow Turban army to capture Yingchuan. Many of the scribes of Yingchuan Academy fled, either out of the city to hide in the countryside, or to hide in a courtyard somewhere in the city. Xun Yu also hid here to avoid the scourge of war. Lu Yao also knew that some of the other Xun clansmen, including Xun You, were also hiding here.

Mo was about to burn incense, and then a trilled question came from the courtyard: "Dare to ask who is outside the door?" ”

Lu Yao stepped forward, motioned for Zhao Yun to retreat, and said loudly: "I am the commander of the Cao school under the account of Huangfu Song, and I am ordered to recapture Yingchuan. I heard that Mr. Wen Ruo was hiding here to avoid the scourge of war, so he came to greet him. ”

The voice fell, and there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard. After a while, the door creaked open, and a scribe in his twenties walked out quickly. He saw that Lu Yao was also dressed as a scribe, he was stunned at first, and then embarrassedly bowed his hand and said: "If Wen Yao doesn't know that the captain is coming, he will miss the welcome." Please bear with me. ”

Lu Yao glanced up and down. It's the same as Xun Yu of this period I saw on the forum in the previous life. At this time, Xun Yu was only thin and famous, and he had not yet been recommended to enter the court, and he was very young. But he knew it was only temporary. When the battle is over, Xun Yu will come out according to his peak age.

"Lonely Boat to meet Mr. Wenruo." Lu Yao bowed and clasped his fists and saluted.

"Captain salute, Wen Ruo doesn't dare to accept it." Xun Yu was suddenly at a loss, and he didn't dare to help, so he could only let go sideways, and he couldn't help it, with a panicked look.

"The Xun family is the descendant of Xunzi, so they can naturally bear it." Lu Yao smiled and insisted on this salute.

lowered his body and bowed, Xun Yu's attitude was obviously much closer, and he enthusiastically stretched out his hand and said: "Let the captain see the joke, now my Xun family can only hide here, and I am really ashamed of the ancestors." If the captain does not give up, please come into the house and speak. ”

"Mr. Wenruo, please." Lu Yao said with a smile.

The three of them entered the courtyard. The Xun clansmen who were hiding in the house and peeking out saw Xun Yu coming with a stranger and a general, and suddenly there were bursts of suppressed exclamations.

"Let the captain see the joke." Xun Yu's young face was slightly red, and he explained with a little embarrassment: "The world is full of wars, and the Xun family has become a frightened bird. I hope the captain will forgive me. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Lu Yao said with emotion: "The war is raging, and we and other scholars are powerless, so it is not easy to keep our families in troubled times." ”

Xun Yu's words suddenly made Xun Yu feel empathy, and he shook his head again and again and sighed: "After many years of hard study, I didn't know until today that no matter how high my knowledge is, it can't compare to the swords and guns in other people's hands." After a pause, he invited embarrassedly: "I forgot for a while, and I ask the captain to forgive me." Talk to the house. ”

Entering the house, Lu Yao's eyes swept away. There are really a lot of Xun clan people in the house, about twenty or thirty people. The hall could not be crowded, so he stood in various places and stretched out his head to look at the stranger dressed as a scribe.

"The Xun family suffered a catastrophe, thank you to the captain for coming to the rescue. The old man has nothing to repay, please accept the old man's worship. An old man who was surrounded by the Xun clan in the middle trembled and was about to bow down.

"The old gentleman doesn't have to be polite, the lonely boat deserves it." Lu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.

In order to subdue Xun Yu, he put in a lot of hard work, racking his brains to find pictures about Xun Yu's relatives from his memory. This old man is Xun Yu's father, the former Jinan minister Xun Qi.

Helping Xun Qi to sit down, the ancients respected the left, and Lu Yao sat on the left side of the head under the repeated insistence of Xun Yu and other Xun clansmen. Zhao Yun didn't wait for Xun Yu and the others to speak, and took the initiative to stand behind Lu Yao.

Xun Yu and the others didn't care. In the eyes of the literati, military generals are just military generals after all, and they can't pee in the same pot. followed by Xun Yu and the others and sat down in order according to their seniority. In the end, those Xun clansmen who were not old enough and did not have enough family status were sent to the backyard.

The guest and the host sat down, Xun Qi smiled kindly, and asked: "The captain can enter the court as an official, and he must have learned from others." The old man just couldn't figure out why the lieutenant was in a military position? ”

"If a big chaos is about to arise, how can you have the power to save yourself if you don't enter the military office?" The corners of Lu Yao's mouth turned up slightly, and he asked rhetorically.

Xun Qi and the others immediately felt the same way, and they were all silent. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, the scribes have always looked down on military generals. However, I have personally experienced the scourge of war, and I cannot change my opinion, but I can understand it. What's more, it's still an alien.

Lu Yao saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and suddenly smiled: "This place is simple, the old gentleman might as well take his relatives back to Xunfu to settle down first." Wait for me to clear the surrounding yellow turban thieves and then go to Xunfu to visit the old gentleman. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it should be my Xun family banquet to the captain to thank you for saving your life." Xun Qian hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's all the same, anyway, I will go to Xunfu to disturb me, please don't be surprised by the old gentleman first." Lu Yao got up, waved his hands around, and prepared to leave with Zhao Yun.

"Wen Ruo, quickly send the captain to the old man." Seeing this, Xun Qi hurriedly got up and urged Xun Yu.

Lu Yao turned his back to Xun Sui, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then turned around and refused: "I don't dare to have Mr. Lao Wenruo to send him off." The two of us will go by ourselves. After that, he didn't give Xun Qi a chance to speak, and left with Zhao Yun.

Seeing Lu Yao and Zhao Yun leave this temporary residence to escape the scourge of war one after the other, Xun Qi sat down again, and looked around at Xun Yu and the others with a solemn expression: "This strange person is acting strangely, what do you think?" ”

"The captain always treats each other politely, and Wen Ruo thinks it's not weird, it's just a sign of recruitment." Xun Yu laughed at himself: "In my opinion, if the captain has a place for my Xun family, it doesn't matter." No matter how high the knowledge is, it can't stop the knives, guns and sticks in the hands of others. ”

Xun Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly. These words really went to the heart. However, he hopes that his sons and nephews can enter the court as officials and glorify the lintel of the Xun family, rather than defecting to a stranger. After thinking about it, he sighed.

"I won't mention it today, go back to my house and settle down. Tomorrow we will have a banquet for the captain. ”
