The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 35

In previous years, the training site for preparing pirates was chosen to the west of Fengjiazhuangzi. It was not too big, but it was enough for dozens of people to advance and retreat. Xun Zhen went to see it in person, she was very satisfied, and did not intend to change it.

In addition to the fact that the size of the place is large enough in his pictures, he also pays more attention to another advantage, that is, this place is in the wilderness, the surrounding is open, and it can be seen from far and near when practicing, which can give hidden bandits a warning: "We have already done something here. Prepare, look at our mighty and majestic appearance, you'd better not hit our pavilion's idea, if you dare to come, we will teach you to die without a burial place"!

Previously, the people from Tingshe went to each li and agreed to gather at a time three days later, that is, the day after Xun Zhen returned from home and passed through Feng's house, the selected li people came in an endless stream.

The first person to arrive was in Peipingli. After having breakfast, he was led down by Li Chang Suhui. He also pushed a few cars, and the cars were full of rice grains. Parking the car outside the door of the pavilion, Su Hui instructed Li Min to move the rice grains into the courtyard, and greeted Xun Zhen A who came out with a flattering smile: "Xun Zhen, you count the thirty stones, only too much, not too little!"

Huang Zhong and others will do the counting work, and Xun Zhen will not be involved. He smiled and nodded, and said, "This time, Guili has done the most to prepare for pirates. Thank you Su Jun!" The two people who came to the house with Su Hui last time were brothers Su Ze and Su Zheng, who were called "Da Su Jun" and "Little Su Jun" by Xu Ji.

The Su brothers were dressed in commoner clothes, all wore ring knives, one carried a bow and arrow, the other held a spear, facing Xun Zhen's gaze, and bowed to each other. Xun Zhen also smiled back. He then went to see the remaining twenty or so people, all in commoner clothes, no swords, all with knives around the head, and two or three others with bows and arrows.

The wheels were chaotic, and another group of people came from a distance. Going to the front, isn't the person who took the lead the head of Andingli? There are also rice grains from Andingli, twenty stone. The car was parked on the side of the road next to the car in Peipingli, and their captain stepped forward to salute Xun Zhen. Among the people who came, three of them were wearing rudimentary armor, and one had a crossbow.

Swords, bows and arrows are common weapons among the people. Armor and bows and crossbows are expensive and not many can afford. As far as the crossbow is concerned, it costs seven or eight thousand dollars when it is cheap. The family capital of 100,000 is already a middle-aged family, and 8,000 yuan is almost one-tenth. Unless you are very good at martial arts, or have money, no one will buy a crossbow idle.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "An Dingli is rich and well-deserved." He looked at the man with the crossbow a few more times. The man was not young, twenty-four or five, with his hair tied in a bun, his head wrapped in a flat bun, and a suit of green clothes. It has a straight blade and is of medium height. There is nothing special about its appearance. Only one nose is more distinctive. It is shaped like an eagle's beak and has a hooked nose.

Xun Zhen recognized this person, but wasn't that the Shi Juxian he saw in the house when he first came?

The chief of Andingli noticed Xun Zhen's gaze and said with a smile, "This is my servant named Shi Juxian. I heard that he has met Xun Jun? This child participated in the 'Bei Kou' last year. I don't dare to say that my courage is extraordinary, at least I am daring and strong, and I am well-known in the pavilion.”

Xun Zhen understood as soon as she heard it. The chief of Andingli would not be involved in the "preparation for bandits", but he would not let go of a dozen or twenty people who came over. When bandits came, they first protected Ben Li, so they sent his nephew Shi Juxian to be the leader of overall planning.

Not only in stability, but also in most of the others. People from Nanpingli, Chunli, Fanli, and Jinglaoli came one after another. Brothers Fan Tan and Fan Shang are from Fanli. When they saw Benli coming, they stepped forward to welcome them warmly.

Fan Tan was fine, but that Fan Shang was quite dissatisfied with the people in Jinglaoli, he rolled his eyes and said angrily to Fantan: "I heard that Jinglaoli is planning to raise money to buy mulberry saplings and establish something else. If you have money to buy mulberry seedlings, but don't have rice and grain, you will be filial to the pavilion, and you will be angry with them, who only care about their own happiness, and will not escape a poor life.”

Cars and people from several li gathered in one place, blocking the road in front of the pavilion. Pedestrians passing by didn't know what was going on. They boldly stepped forward to watch, and timidly retreated three feet. The road became more and more blocked.

Seeing that it was not a problem, Xun Zhen could not block the traffic because of this, so she called Du Mai and instructed: "Go and ask people from Zhuli to stop by the roadside. And that car, don't leave it in random places, and push it all the way to the road. Side, line up, don't delay passers-by walking."

When he said this, Su Hui, the mayor of Peipingli, was beside him, and said anxiously, "Why bother Du Jun for some trivial matters. We have arranged it ourselves." He apologized again and again, "It's because I didn't think carefully and blocked it. Stop the road and block the pedestrians, Xunjun don't take it offense.” Lifting up his robe, he quickly ran to the place where the people and the car parked in Benli, and gave a loud command, “Move the car this way! Hurry up, hurry up. Come on! Everyone is standing here, don't make a fuss! This is a pavilion, not a market."

Taking advantage of the time when Su Hui and Du Mai were directing the traffic, Xun Zhen took a brief look at the people from Zhuli, including the Su brothers, and found five or six people who had besieged Tingshe that night. On the surface, they were very respectful to Xun Zhen, and one of them even walked up to him and bowed down.

Xun Zhen knew that this ceremony seemed to be done to him, but it was actually done on Xu Zhongxing's behalf, to thank him for treating Xu's mother well, so he didn't take it at all. Li Xian corporal, recruiting heroes" has done a full job. People and cars were crowded, and amidst the noise, the two of them knelt down on the official road to each other, attracting the attention of many people. Someone who didn't know asked: "Isn't that Qi San from Chunli? He has an old relationship with Ting Chang? How did Ting Jun bow down to him?"

Someone who knew the inside story whispered: "Don't you know? Qi San and Xu Zhong of the Great King have known each other since childhood, and they are the best friends of the chief. Under the order of the county, Xun Jun detained Xu's mother in the pavilion and listened to it. Said that because of his old age, he was treated with respect and kindness. Qi San knelt down and saluted, probably to express his gratitude. . . Goodbye, so I hurriedly return the salute."

Someone who knew the inside story better, looked around, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Do you know? Just a few days ago, Xu Zhong led a group of people to besiege Tingshe in order to save his old mother! Qi San may be one of them."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If Xu Zhong besieged the pavilion, how could Qi San still salute Xun Jun? Then how could Xu's mother still be in the house? And how could the village not know about such a big thing?"

"They go out at night and come back at night, it's normal that you don't know."

"Then how did you know?"

"I have a relative who lives next to a friend of Xu Zhong's. He slept late that night and heard movement. First he heard his neighbor go out, then he heard his neighbor come back, then heard his neighbor's family asking, and then heard his neighbor do this again. answer."

"How is that possible! Not to mention anything else, how did he get out there? You know, no matter which place, the interior door must be closed at night!"

"I don't know about that. Either the prison gate is also from the same party, and the gate is opened for him; or he climbs out of the wall."

They were muttering, when Su Ze, who was not far away, came over without speaking, and just looked at them one by one. They closed their mouths immediately, some lowered their heads uneasily, some turned their faces away nervously, and some showed flattering smiles. - This is the difference between a good family child and a light hero. Qing Xia dared to gather a crowd to besiege Ting She, but Liang Jiazi couldn't bear the power of his gaze.

It took two quarters of an hour to move all the rice and grain into the courtyard. Because I didn't want to disturb Xu's mother, it was temporarily piled up in the front yard, standing high like a hill. The people involved in the transfer were sweating profusely, Fan Shang was just commanding, he didn't do anything, he was in high spirits, rubbed his hands together, and circled the hill again and again, giggling from time to time.

Although his brother Fan Tan also liked it, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw his appearance, he grabbed his sleeve and dragged him away: "It's not just ordering rice, look at how useless you look! ..., can you? Be humble!"

"Brother, how good would it be if you said that all these rice grains belonged to us? Why don't you tell Xun Jun, don't use them to subsidize training? Anyway, they are filial piety, so we can share it! We don't mind Xun Jun. Jun takes the big head, he can take two more!"

One mu of land produces two or three stones of millet in a good year. The rice grains sent from each ri added together, more than 40 to 50 shi, equivalent to the annual output of more than ten mu of land. Fan's family is not wealthy. There are only 40 to 50 acres of fields in total. The annual output in the fields is not enough for the family to eat. It is strange that they are not jealous when they suddenly see so much food.

Fan Tan agrees with Fan Shang's opinion very much, but since they came from Xun Zhen, the two of them have been clumsy and have not been very close to him.

Fan Shang came up with an idea: "A Bao and Xun Jun have a good relationship. From the first day Xun Jun came, he ran back and forth. How about we find him? Let him tell Xun Jun?" Mention Chen When complimented, he revealed a sour feeling.

Fan Tan thought about it for a while, and said, "That's fine." He rolled his eyes, looked around, and said, "There are so many people at the moment, don't talk about it. When the outsiders are gone at night, go to A Bao to discuss. "People are different. Xun Zhen thought about how to save her life in troubled times, and would not care about the mere tens of stone of food, and the Fan brothers, who didn't know the troubled times were coming, and were used to hard times, would of course be eager.

After the rice and grains were moved, Xun Zhen called the li chiefs in front of him and asked them to come forward. With the cooperation of Huang Zhong, Du Mai, Chen Bao, etc., he planned to arrange the li people according to the different li. , troop formation, and assign leaders.
