At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 93 Fame
The middle-aged scribe carefully looked at Zhou Qi who had already removed his make-up, and suddenly said with a smile, "You are Zhou Ziyi from Peiguo?"

As the middle-aged scholar's voice fell, the entire Qin Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.

Those officials who didn't have the slightest sense of existence also opened their mouths wide in surprise at this time, and looked at Zhou Qi in disbelief.

Zhou Qi's name has been widely spread in Luoyang, thanks to Cao Jie's assist.

If Cao Jie hadn't deliberately taken out the letter, wanting to make Yang Qiu regret and blame himself in prison, Zhou Qi's deeds of trying to persuade Yang Qiu might not have been spread.

After the fermentation of that incident, Zhou Qi angrily killed Pei Guoxiang Wang Ji to avenge his grandfather, and mentioned "Xia Ke Xing" at the entrance of the restaurant.

Fortunately, Wang Fu and his henchmen have been completely eradicated, and Wang Ji's crimes have also been convicted.

At this time, no one is going to pursue the matter of Wang Ji's murder, and no one is willing to vindicate Wang Ji, a dead sinner.

Otherwise, Zhou Qi himself might be in some serious trouble.

Nowadays, even the low-level officials like them have heard of Zhou Qi's reputation.

They never thought that this young man who followed the team silently for a long time and almost never spoke was actually the famous Zhou Qi and Zhou Ziyi.

When Xiang Hong and Zhou Cheng heard the words, their hearts sank slightly, and they all put their hands on the hilts of their swords, looking alert.

On the contrary, Dian Wei didn't care, he carried the pair of iron halberds on his back and folded his hands in front of his chest, not worried about Zhou Qi's identity being revealed at all, but his eyes flickered occasionally.

If these officers and soldiers wanted to capture Zhou Qi and offer a reward to Cao Jie, Dian Wei would definitely kill him regardless of the identity of the other party.

Unlike Xiang Hong and others who were on guard, Zhou Qi smiled casually and bowed to the middle-aged scholar: "I am Zhou Qi of Pei Kingdom, Zhou Ziyi, who was worried that Yang would make your family members be killed by traitors on the way to exile. Therefore, he disguised himself as a business traveler and followed him, secretly supporting him."

"I know that I am being captured by the eunuch Cao Jie. If you are interested, you can invite me to reward you."

"I just hope that sir can protect your family members safely."

After hearing this, Yang Wei hurriedly came out, bowed deeply to the middle-aged scribe, and said: "Zhou Lang is not afraid of hardships and dangers, escorting us thousands of miles. If not, we would all be harmed by thieves."

"How can such a loyal person be killed by a traitor in the court?"

"Please, sir, hold your hands high, don't make things difficult for Zhou Lang!"

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing the behavior of the two, the middle-aged scribe laughed out loud, then looked at Zhou Qi with interest, and said, "You are young, but you have a big heart, and you actually provoked me with your words."

Zhou Qi showed a shy smile and said: "It's just a small plan, but I'm actually doing something wrong in front of my husband. I'm really ashamed!"

The middle-aged scribe restrained his face, took two steps back, and actually gave Zhou Qi a deep salute.

"Dunhuang Gai Xun, I met Zhou Lang!"

Zhou Qi was at a loss when he saw this.

A middle-aged scribe can be seen to be of extraordinary background, holds an important position, and is much older than himself, but how can he not be surprised by such a big ceremony?
Most importantly.

When Zhou Qi heard the name Gai Xun, he was really surprised and happy. He didn't expect that he could meet this historical celebrity in this place.

Who is Gai Xun?

I believe that anyone who is familiar with the history of the late Han Dynasty will be familiar with it.

This is a real Liangzhou celebrity, a man of great virtue.

Even though he was defeated and captured by the Qiang rebels, he still yelled at the rebels and asked the Qiang people to kill him, but no one dared to do it, but sent him back to Hanyang respectfully.

This is a person who even today's emperor Liu Hong regards him as a confidant, and feels that he hates seeing each other too late.

When Dong Zhuoquan was in power, all court officials paid homage to Dong Zhuo, but Gai Xun just bowed his hands and dared to confront Dong Zhuo face to face.

Its popularity is evident.

In terms of morality, Gai Xun is even more impeccable.

Even in the face of his own enemy, Gai Xun can not take the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge, but act impartially to solve the enemy's difficulties.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gai Xun is a model of contemporary scholar-officials, possessing almost all the virtues and magnanimity of scholars of this era.

Today's Gai Xun may not be as famous as in history, but he has already emerged in Liangzhou and is admired and supported by the Han and Qiang people.

Such a person bowed solemnly to Zhou Qi, how could he bear it.

Zhou Qi didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily bowed in fear: "Gai Changshi is famous in Liangzhou, and he is also an elder. How can Qi have such virtue? How dare he accept this gift from Mr.?"

Gai Xun got up and said seriously: "I have heard a little about your matter."

"Under Fangzheng's command, even though he knew that criticizing his family members might offend Fangzheng, he still tried his best to persuade him, and even if he left, he still had to write down his heartfelt words. This is loyalty."

"Don't be afraid of power, avenge your grandfather, dare to risk the disgrace of the world, kill Pei Guoxiang Wang Ji to pay homage to the deceased, this is filial piety."

"Don't forget your old master and pretend to be a merchant to escort Fang Zheng's family thousands of miles. This is righteousness."

"With only four people fighting against nearly a hundred thieves, the thieves were so scared that they fled. This is bravery."

"When I was nearly [-] years old, I met countless heroes. Talents like Zhou Lang have only been seen in this life. Just because of what you have done, you deserve this gift."

Hearing this, Zhou Qi suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart. He pursed his lips and bowed deeply to Gai Xun.

He is working so hard these days, isn't it just to gain fame?

But compared to those aristocratic families, Zhou Qi has no other opportunities to support him except to fight with his life.

Occasionally, in the dead of night, he would lament that this road is extremely difficult, and even doubt whether he can persevere.

Even though he has done so many things, he is still just a white man, and there is no comparison at all with those scholars who came from powerful families.

I never thought that today I would be praised by Gai Xun, a famous scholar in Liangzhou, in this Qin Pavilion.

A huge sense of satisfaction immediately enveloped Zhou Qi. He finally felt that his life-and-death struggle during this period was not in vain, and he finally saw the light of day.

In this era, no matter how much you do, if you don't get the recognition and praise of famous people, what's the use of doing more?

nowadays.

Gai Xun gave Zhou Qi such a high evaluation.

I believe that with Gai Xun's status and reputation, Zhou Qi will definitely become famous after these words are spread.

The fame that Zhou Qi worked so hard to gain was achieved so easily, which made him feel excited and unreal from the bottom of his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Gai Xun only said these words, the actual help to Zhou Qi was no longer under Yang Qiu.

It was for this reason that he saluted Gai Xun so solemnly.

Gai Xun stepped forward to support Zhou Qi and said, "Zi Yi, please don't worry, this is Liangzhou. No matter how powerful Cao Jie is, it will be difficult for him to reach here."

"The minions he sent to intercept Fangzheng's family have all been wiped out, and no one in Liangzhou dares to harm Yang Wei and the others since then."

"I have also made arrangements for Dunhuang."

Zhou Qi heard this, and said gratefully: "Shijun was framed by traitors. I only hate myself for being alone and unable to rescue him in time. The only thing I worry about is Shijun's family."

"Now that your family is under the protection of your husband, they will surely be safe. I thank you on behalf of your husband!"

Zhou Qi wanted to salute again, but Gai Xun stopped him.

He sighed softly: "The eunuchs are in power, and loyal people suffer. Although I can't cut off the evildoers, I am willing to try my best to protect Fang Zheng's family. This is my duty. Why do you thank me?"

"Besides, I have known Fangzheng for many years, and his son is like my nephew. Even with this affection, I will do my best to help."

Having said that, Gai Xun looked at Zhou Qi and said, "On the contrary, you are now being missed by Cao Jie. No matter whether you return to Luoyang or return to your hometown, you may not be able to escape his minions."

"If you don't give up, you can stay in Liangzhou temporarily."

"I have little hope in Liangzhou, so I can jointly report to the emperor to express your loyalty. Even if it cannot guarantee your success, at least I can be exempted from the crime and Cao Jie will not dare to act rashly."

When Gai Xun said these things, he was not bragging.

Liangzhou is different from other places. It is located in a frontier fortress where Han and Hu live together. The aristocratic and powerful families are very powerful, but the control of the imperial court is rather weak.

Except for attacking and killing Wang Ji, Zhou Qi actually made no mistakes. Since no one vindicated Wang Ji, as long as Gai Xun and others worked hard to bring the matter to the emperor, it is expected that Cao Jie would not do it for Zhou Qi. A small role like Qi rashly offended the Liangzhou wealthy family.

Zhou Qi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately said, "Thank you sir for your kindness."

A smile appeared on Gai Xun's face upon hearing this.

He took Zhou Qi's hand and said, "Follow me to Long County, and I will introduce you to the prefect."

Zhou Qi heard the words, but hesitation appeared on his face.

He made up his mind, but he still gritted his teeth and refused, "I trust you, sir, so that your family can arrive at Dunhuang safely."

"However, a man was born between heaven and earth, he should do what he says, and what he does must be resolute."

"Before I left Luoyang, I made an oath in secret that I would definitely send your family to Dunhuang safely. Even with my husband's support, I will fulfill my old oath!"

Hearing this, Gai Xun, instead of being unhappy because of being rejected, laughed loudly and said: "Well, what you say is what you say, and what you do is what you do."

"Pei Guo Zhou Ziyi, loyal, filial, brave, righteous and trustworthy."

"Just go and fulfill your promise. When you return, I will introduce you to you soon."

Zhou Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words. After thanking Gai Xun, he pointed out the location where the thief was killed, and asked Gai Xun to take the officers and soldiers to collect the corpse.

These are all military exploits.

Zhou Qi does not want to be greedy for credit.

Gai Xun insisted on giving the reward to Zhou Qi for the thieves he killed, but Zhou Qi couldn't shirk it and didn't want to stay in Hanyang any longer, so he simply asked Gai Xun to buy all the reward money into food so that Gai Xun could help the poor people.

With Gai Xun's affirmation and publicity, Zhou Qi's deeds quickly spread throughout Hanyang County.

Then, with Hanyang County as the center, it quickly radiated towards the rest of the counties.

Zhou Ziyi of Pei State finally began to gain fame.

　It was supposed to be released continuously on the shelves, but before the family fell ill one after another, they ran out of all the manuscripts saved. In the past few days, it has been tens of thousands, and it is a bit overwhelming.

　　The [-]nd is my baby’s second birthday, because both of us don’t have time and we didn’t even celebrate the birthday.

　　Today is Saturday, I plan to take him out to have a good time, the chapters were all rushed out yesterday.
