My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 412 Brothers Gather, Tong Yuan's Line

Royal Palace.

Wei Cheng is playing badminton with Zhong Chan in the Imperial Garden.

There were no entertainment items in this era, so Wei Cheng borrowed from later generations and had people make badminton rackets and shuttlecocks.

The wooden badminton racket is a bit heavy, and it can not only exercise muscles when hitting the ball, but also play a role in strength training.

As the new year was approaching, Zhong Chan, Hao Niang, and Xie Yu also moved here from Anyi.

Because of Xie Yu's incident before, Wei Cheng didn't dare to be careless, and specially asked them to wait for Dian Wei and Xu Chu to recuperate before escorting them south.

At this time, Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood outside the east and west gates of the imperial garden like two pagodas.

On their necks, a hideous wound could be seen.

Although Wei Cheng used special sutures that can be absorbed by the human body to suture, but after all, the craftsmanship was not good enough, leaving scars.

"Brother Zhongkang, we meet again."

A few people walked along the corridor, led by female guards. Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun walked towards the imperial garden while looking at the palace.

This time Gongsun Zan went south from Youzhou, passed through Anyi, and together with Xu Chu and others escorted Zhong Chan and other women to Beijing.

Therefore, a few people can be regarded as acquaintances.

Seeing Gongsun Zan, Xu Chu clasped his fists and saluted, "I've met King Zhenbei."

At this time, everyone in the imperial garden heard the voice.

Wei Cheng handed the badminton racket to Xie Yu, who was looking forward to it, and said, "Go ahead and play, I won't accompany you."

The girls glanced at the door, then nodded slightly to Gongsun Zan, as a greeting.

Wei Cheng wiped his face with a towel, pointed to the palace next door, and said, "Let's go to the study and talk."

It is said to be a study room, but it is actually a palace, with several functional areas separated by screens.

Ancient buildings are basically like this, in short, they cover a large area, the floor height is high enough, and the vision is wide enough.

So much so that in winter, if dozens of coal pellet stoves are not installed, the house will not be warm.

Fortunately, Wei Cheng specially remodeled a kang in the study, and people would burn the fire all day long, and he climbed up after entering the house after taking off his shoes, feeling very happy.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun were a little taken aback. How could they go to bed so well?

Wei Cheng beckoned, indicating that Gongsun Zan also took off his shoes and came up to feel it.

There were several pillow-like armrests on the kang, and a low table made of huanghuali. Wei Cheng asked Zhao Yun to take out the tea tray from the closet, put it on, and made tea for Gongsun Zan himself.

"Come on, Bogui, try this chrysanthemum tea. It's picked in the Mid-Autumn Festival and dried in half a month. It's fragrant and sweet. It's very good."

Gongsun Zan took off his leather boots and got on the kang, the warmth of his butt made his eyes shine.

After the winter in Youzhou, the lowest temperature can reach minus [-] to [-] degrees, and it is unknown how many people die every winter.

The moment he sat on the kang, Gongsun Zan thought of bringing this thing back to Youzhou, and let the craftsmen pass it on to the people.

Wei Cheng seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and motioned Zhao Yun to bring a booklet on the desk, handed it to Gongsun Zan, and said, "Then, don't say I don't take care of you, these are some strategies for benefiting the people, you can take them back and study them. Try to stabilize Youyan as soon as possible."

Gongsun Zan took it with both hands respectfully, only to see the four words [Huimin Yaoshu] written in italics on the proof of the book.

Wei Cheng smiled and said, "Take it back and look at it slowly, let's talk about the situation on the grassland first."

···
Near noon.

Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun left the palace.

Gongsun Zan hurriedly went back to discuss with the advisers with the book "Hui Min Yao Shu" in his hand.

And Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "My lord, I want to see my elder brother."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan said with a smile, "Go ahead, and send my greetings to Zihu on behalf of the king. Next year, when we conquer the Huns in the north, we will have to chatter about the Longshan army. Please ask me when you are free. I would like to invite the generals of the Longshan army to eat." a meal."

Zhao Yun nodded and agreed.

The two separated outside the palace. Gongsun Zan went to Zhenbei Palace, while Zhao Yun went to Dingjunfang in the north of the city.

It's about a stick of incense's journey.

This is the second time for Zhao Yun to come to the house of his elder brother Zhao Feng. He is no stranger to this. After showing the badge of the King of Zhenbei, the guard at the gate let him go. Changshan Zhao Zilong, who doesn’t know him now?

"Big brother!"

Before Zhao Yun entered the door, he started shouting.

yard.

Zhao Feng and Zhang Xiu are competing in martial arts, practicing for the upcoming martial arts conference.

Hearing Zhao Yun's shout, Zhao Feng put his gun away and said with a laugh: "Look, I said that Zilong should come too."

Zhang Xiu beautifully juggled a gun flower with one hand, and looked towards the courtyard gate with a smile.

As the sound of horseshoes progressed, a bright silver figure came into view.

"Big brother... Big brother, hahaha, you really came to Luoyang!"

Zhao Yun got off his horse and ran in. Looking at him now, he was not at all calm, he looked like a carefree young man.

Zhao Feng took Zhang Xiu's spear, put it on the weapon rack together with his own, and then ordered the housekeeper to prepare hot soup.

Under the porch, the two servant girls looked shy when they saw Zhao Yun coming, and secretly looked at the second master from time to time.

Later generations have many versions of appearance rankings for the male characters of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhao Yun is always in the top ten.

And the people in front of him are nothing more than: Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu and the like, all of them are really suave, handsome, and good-looking, making people have to love them.

Zhang Xiu was also very happy to see Zhao Yun, a junior brother, come.

The two did not divide into two camps because of the relationship between Wei Cheng, a big butterfly, who slapped a big fan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

When they met at this time, they couldn't help hugging each other, and they all sighed again and again.

"Hahaha, Zilong, you have grown a lot taller and become stronger, good, good."

Looking at Zhao Zilong's shiny silver armor, Zhang Xiu thought it would be a lie to say that he wasn't envious.

Think about yourself again, simply don't fail too much.

Gao Shi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in a poem:
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sun, the north wind blows wild geese and snow;
Mo Chou has no confidant, no one in the world knows the king.

Liu Hepiaoxi pityed himself privately, and one left Jingluo for more than ten years;

The husband should be rich and humble, and we meet today without money for wine.

The true portrayal of Zhang Xiu's current heart, the former juniors have already achieved fame, but what about me?

If I saw Zhao Feng before, I didn't feel anything, after all, Zhao Feng is only one year younger than him.

But now seeing the handsome young man Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Big Brother?"

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was in a daze, Zhao Yun couldn't help shouting.

Zhang Xiu came back to his senses, greeted him with a smile, and said: "Okay, you are in a terrible situation now, I just watched "The Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", otherwise I would not know that you are killing all directions in Wuhuan , who in the world doesn’t know you, Changshan Zhao Zilong!”

Zhao Yun did not doubt that there was him, he laughed and said: "Brother, you are ridiculously praised, I just followed the lord and charged into the battle, if the lord did not send someone to support me, I would never dare to be so Menglang, I really dare not take credit for it."

Zhang Xiu smiled awkwardly, yes, sometimes it is very important to be right with the lord.

However, he also secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, the Wei family made a quick decision after entering Beijing, otherwise he was almost dragged to Dongying by his uncle at that time.

Seeing the end of the greeting between the two, Zhao Feng stepped forward and said, "Okay, Master and his old man are still waiting in Dingjunfang, let's go there quickly."

Zhang Xiu nodded. As Tong Yuan's chief disciple, he hadn't visited his master and the old man for many years, and he missed him very much.

"Zilong, let's go to see Master and his old man together." Zhang Xiu patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.

Zhao Yun nodded, looked at his eldest brother Zhao Feng, and said: "I found some good leather from Youzhou, and ordered someone to make some leather jackets for Master to wear in winter. Let's go to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion on the way, and I will take them with you." .”

Zhao Feng nodded, looked at Zhang Xiu, and said: "Zilong has been taken care of by King Zhenbei many times in Youzhou. As an older brother, I should go and pay my respects. Eldest brother, too."

Zhang Xiu admired Gongsun Zan's heroic deeds very much, especially his military exploits and being crowned king, which was something many generals yearned for, and he was no exception.

Now that he was lucky enough to see King Zhenbei's demeanor, Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, let's go with Zilong."

The three of them took the whip from the butler, got on their horses, and galloped towards Zhenbei Palace.

But when they arrived, they were told that Gongsun Zan had been invited to Dingjunfang just after returning home.

The three had no choice but to take the gift for Tong Yuan, turned their horses around and rushed towards Dingjunfang, where all the people they wanted to see were there.

Soon.

Dingjunfang in the north of the city.

Because Zhao Feng was leading the way, the three of them went straight into the workshop without stopping.

The huge school ground was already full of people at this time, people everywhere were exercising martial arts, and the cheers were even more frequent.

On the high platform, Tong Yuan sat lazily on a grand teacher's chair, holding a small wine pot in his hand, and pecked from time to time.

"Master!"

The three of Zhang Xiu rode directly to the high platform, and when they saw the long-lost master, Zhang Xiu shouted excitedly.

Although Tong Yuan was getting old, he was a martial arts practitioner with sharp eyes and ears, and when he looked up, he stood up excitedly.

"Xiuer?"

With a simple leverage of both hands, Zhang Xiu lifted his feet up to step on the horse's back, and jumped onto the high platform directly with the help of the horse's forward momentum.

"Unfilial Zhang Xiu, I have met Master." Zhang Xiuhong knelt down on one knee.

Tong Yuan's eyes were also moist, he put down the jug, stepped forward to help Zhang Xiu up, looked him up and down, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, the kung fu is not behind."

Zhang Xiu choked up and replied: "Master, don't worry, the disciples will obey the master's order, practice Sanjiu in winter, practice Sanfu in summer, I dare not neglect in the slightest."

Tong Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Very well, the way to strengthen your body is persistence. I feel very comforted for my teacher."

At this time, brothers Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun also went up the stairs to the high platform, and they both clasped fists and saluted Tong Yuan at the same time.

Seeing the two, Tong Yuan pointed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Okay, when you came to Luoyang, you didn't come to find your teacher first, but you went to find your two juniors. It seems that I, an old man, am not as good as yours." Brothers are important."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

They knew that Tong Yuan was just joking.

Seeing the tacit understanding between the three, Tong Yuan was even more gratified. The brothers and sisters can be so harmonious, so he is naturally happy to be a master.

You know, the world is in chaos, not only are there people fighting each other, even brothers, fathers and sons, and some fight to the death.

Zhao Feng took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Master, Eldest brother has signed up for the Martial Arts Conference. With his skill, he can enter the top [-]. Joining the Longshan Army is a sure thing. From now on, my two brothers will be colleagues."

"Oh!"

Tong Yuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder, and said: "It should be like this. With your qualifications, it is a bit overkill to always stay in Xiliang to suppress bandits. If you can squeeze into the top [-] this time, master will do it for you." You recommend Jinjun to be a squad leader."

Zhang Xiu was stunned.

Top fifty?
Master, even your old man looks down on me so much?
Tong Yuan seemed to feel his reluctance, sighed and said: "Xiu'er, you should do your best this time, there should be no problem in the top fifty, but remember not to hurt yourself for the ranking, there are a lot of people here this time Master."

Zhang Xiu smiled wryly and nodded. Even his master said so, it seems that there is no hope for him to enter the top ten.

Fortunately, he is not the kind of person who is not determined. After clearing up his mood, he raised his head and chest, and said: "Master, this disciple still wants to fight. Even if the ranking rises a little bit, it will be good."

Hearing this, Tong Yuan knew that this apprentice had an unyielding temperament.

Especially now that brothers Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun have achieved great successes, but he is still a school captain in the same place as a senior brother.

It is natural to feel a little unwilling in my heart.

"Oh, by the way, your second and third junior brothers are also here this time, you should go and meet them later." Tong Yuan said suddenly.

The three of Zhang Xiu were startled for a moment, then overjoyed.

Especially Zhao Yun said excitedly: "I heard that the second senior brother is also a strong general under Yizhou Mu. I didn't expect people from Yizhou to come too. It seems that this martial arts conference is really a gathering of masters."

Tong Yuan liked this little apprentice the most, and even taught him all he had learned. Hearing Zhao Yun's words, he said with a smile: "Don't forget your third senior brother Liu Chong. If he sees you, he may be indispensable A lesson."

As soon as Zhao Yun heard the third senior brother Liu Chong, he shuddered suddenly, turned his head and looked around, and said guiltyly: "Didn't the third senior brother go to practice Taoism with the uncle, why is he here?"

Tong Yuan and Li Yan are sworn brothers. They learn from their adoptive father Yu Zhenzi, Tong Yuan learns martial arts, and Li Yan cultivates Taoism. The pursuit of the two is different.

Hearing Zhao Yun talk about Li Yan, Tong Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Your uncle was tricked into going to Heluo College, and he will live in Heluo College from now on. Naturally, your third senior brother also came along, and got a teaching opportunity. title."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "How is it possible, there is still someone in this world who can invite Shishu and his old man?"

Tong Yuan sneered, "The Yan family has the cheek to invite you. Although your uncle has a bad temper, he still values ​​friendship."

Oh, so that's the case, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other, smiling wryly and shaking their heads.

Master Tong Yuan and master uncle Li Yan married Yan Yun and Yan Yu, two eldest daughters of the Yan family in Hebei respectively.

Therefore, the two are not only a righteous father and master, but also sworn brothers, and even brother-in-law.

At this moment, Tong Yuan looked at Zhao Feng, and said in a deep voice: "Zihu, the Yan family has a lot of intentions in coming to Beijing this time, if she lets someone find you, you must not agree to anything casually, and you don't have to worry about your face as a teacher." ,do you know?"

Zhao Feng scratched his head resentfully, that person is the teacher's wife after all, if you old couple quarreled, it's not easy for us juniors to follow the division of camps, right?

Of course, he dared not say this.

He had no choice but to nod against his will, and only hoped that the Yan family would not send someone to look for him.
