Chapter 9 Zhongshan Zhen Clan
After living here for several days, Hu Zhao and Liu Xie, the old and young, had a great time talking to each other.
Liu Xie admired the old master's profound knowledge, while Hu Zhao saw that His Majesty now has no dark and weak appearance in the rumors. Instead, he is extremely visionary and knowledgeable. He is quite happy, at least he doesn't have to serve a foolish monarch!
If Liu Xie had not been embarrassed to disturb the happy couple's life of her and Xie, she would have been like Liu Paopu (Liu Bei) and had a bed with this old master and had a meal with her!
Hu Zhao, whose courtesy name is Kongming, has a wife and a daughter. His daughter is Hu Jia. He is only about ten years old. He is smart and well-behaved, but he is relatively introverted.
The Hu family is also a prestigious clan in Yangdi County. Although it cannot be compared with the great gentry like the Yuan, Xun and Chen, it can be regarded as a land tiger. Compared with Guo Jia's Guo family, it is much better than Guo Jia's. After all, the Guo family has declined from Guo Jia's father, and can be said to be a real poor family!
However, compared with other tribes in the Hu family, Hu Zhao is obviously a more maverick non-mainstream figure. He does not want to be an official, but only wants to educate the people. He can be said to be a model of fame and fortune as a dirt! He is also an example of being a teacher in ancient times!
If it weren't for talking about his disciples with Hu Zhao, Liu Xie would have almost forgotten Guo Jia, the genius.
Therefore, he also secretly blamed himself in his heart, only remembering that the old man almost forgot the young man. It was a sin! So, after learning from Hu Zhao that Guo Jia was going to Chenliu to visit his friend, Liu Xie immediately said goodbye to Hu Zhao and asked Hu Zhao to take his family to Sichuan and Shu to wait for his arrival.
Hu Zhao actually disagrees with Liu Xie's arrangement. Because Hu Zhao felt that Liu Xie, as an emperor, should not take risks like this. As for recruiting talents, it is enough to send his subordinates to do it. Why risk the war and go there in person? Although he was deeply moved by Liu Xie's personal invitation to great talents, compared with this touch, he would rather Liu Xie not take risks easily!
But Liu Xie did not listen to Hu Zhao this time because he didn't know when Guo Jia would go to join Cao Boss, but I think it should be at this time. And Chen Liu is Cao Boss' territory! Isn't Guo Jia's visit to Chen Liu a sign of going to join Cao? Therefore, Liu Xie was a little impatient!
After much persuasion, Liu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief after finally persuaded Mr. Hu who was chattering endlessly.
So the next day, Liu Xie set out from Yangdi to Chenliu with his own letter from Master Zi.
……………………
And during the days when Liu Xie stayed at Hu Zhao, Li Jue and Guo Si led their troops to storm of Yang Feng and others who fled to Anyi. Unfortunately, Yang Feng had few soldiers and was defeated. Yang Feng, a guy who used to be the king of mountains, was now stormed by chrysanthemums. In anger, he naturally greeted the brothers of the world like the former world. So Kings of Baibo Li Le, Hu Cai, Han Xian and others ran to support him, and also pulled the Southern Xiongnu onto the pirate ship.
As a result, Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated by Yang Feng, Hu Cai and others without investigation. So the two thought about it and talked about peace with Yang Feng and others. But just as they were drinking and talking about peace, Li Guo and the two turned against each other on the spot, killing Hu Cai and the leader of the Huns, Zuo Xianwang, to go to the blaze, and defeated Yang Feng's army again and fled.
What made Li Guo and the others depressed was that they worked hard and realized that Yang Feng and others did not lie to them. The Han Emperor was indeed not in the army!
As a result, the two thieves Li Guo and the two thieves vented this anger on the unarmed civil officials and the civilians who came with them.
In this battle, most of the soldiers and ministers killed by the two bandits of Li Guo were killed, and even Tian Fen, Shaofu Tian Fen, Grand Secretary Zhang Yi and others were killed.
It has to be said that Yang Feng's luck is really bad, which is much worse than Zhong Yao and his group of people.
This battle can only be described as "miserable"!
History, with the flapping of the wings of Liu Xie, the demon moth, gradually began to deviate from its original track.
At least, in history, Goubei did not die at this time!
……………………
When Liu Xie brought Xu Huang and others to Chenliu, it was already three or two days later.
What made Liu Xie feel quite depressed was that after investigating for a day, he actually got news that Guo Jia had left Chenliu and disappeared.
It is said that Guo Jia likes to run here and there without any trouble, just like those hikers who like to travel together in later generations who have nothing to do. The only difference is that Guo Jia pays more attention to observing the customs and customs of various places, as well as the mountains and rivers and landforms of various places.
It’s a pity... Liu Xie couldn’t help but sigh: Can such talents really not be used by me? What a pity!
Liu Xie estimated that Guo Jia was missing, maybe he went to Dongjun to visit Cao Boss! Although he also wanted to go to Dongjun to check it out, he was afraid that he would never come back again. Moreover, this was his own guess. What if it wasn't? Wouldn't that be even more loss?
After thinking about it, Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his head!
"Gongming, go and have someone sell all our goods and replace them with some local specialties. We will set off in Sichuan tomorrow!"
"Okay, young master!"
As a result, in the evening, Xu Huang led his men and tied a man in civilian costume and threw him in front of Liu Xie. "Young Master, this person was sneaky outside our guest hall and was taken down by our people. According to him, he had passed by here accidentally... Please decide whether we can torture him!"
Hearing Xu Huang say this, Liu Xie let out a light breath, glanced at the man, and said, "Please use torture!"
When the man heard Liu Xie's indifferent words, he couldn't help but shout, "Young Master, please spare me, please spare me... The villain is not a bad person, but a servant from the Wuji Chamber of Commerce. He was just sent by our head to find out some news about the young master's purchase. He is not a bad person! Please tell me how to tell me!"
"Wuji Chamber of Commerce?" Liu Xie frowned, looked at Xu Huang, and said, "Does Gongming know about this Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Huang grinned and shook his head.
Liu Xie coughed and said, "It seems that it is just an unknown small chamber of commerce. I will take it out and continue to torture it. It seems that he still dares to tell lies!"
The man was speechless and shouted: "Young Master misunderstood, you misunderstood. Our Wuji Chamber of Commerce is famous in Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou and other places. If you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire!" As he said that, he looked at Liu Xie and others suspiciously, as if saying: I haven't even heard of the Wuji Chamber of Commerce, and I dare to go out for business. Are you really not afraid of being laughed at?
"Young master, why don't you send someone to inquire?" Xu Huang asked.
Liu Xie chuckled and said, "No need to inquire, just send someone a letter to the Wuji Chamber of Commerce, and you will know whether this person's words are true or false!"
Soon, Xu Hu, who was sent out by Xu Huang, came back. After that, he was a thin young man who was about twenty years old, with short beards on his lips, dressed in a scholar, and had a tall figure. After seeing the man on the ground, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Liu Xie and said, "I am the surname Zhen, and my name is Yan. He is from Wuji, Zhongshan, and he is also the head of the Wuji Chamber of Commerce. The servant is rude, and I hope my brother can forgive me!"
Although Liu Xie is only fifteen years old, because of the Dragon Soul Pill and Dragon Aura, his body is much taller and taller than originally. At this time, he looks even more majestic than Zhen Yan.
But at this moment, Liu Xie thought about who Zhen Yan is? It seems that he has never heard of it! I don’t know if he has ever participated in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
"It's easy to say! Liu Ji is going out to do some small business, but he is afraid of being patronized by evil people. That's not..." Liu Xie said, pointing to the man on the ground.
"Brother Liu has misunderstood!" Zhen Yan smiled bitterly, "This person is a servant from the Chamber of Commerce. He is usually sent out to inquire about some information, such as which chambers of commerce purchase which goods, which chambers of commerce sell which goods, how much to buy, and how much to sell, all these need to be calculated. Moreover, I, the Wuji Chamber of Commerce, have eaten most of the goods brought by Brother Liu. Perhaps, this is fate!" He said, nodding at Xu Hu.
Xu Hu looked at Liu Xie awkwardly, then nodded, and said, "Report to young master, this... most of the goods we shipped before were indeed taken away by this person. However, the young man was in a hurry before, and he didn't know that he was the head of Wuji merchant..."
Liu Ji frowned, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said to Xu Hu: "Ahu! Have you seen it? Brother Zhen and his business are worth learning humbly!" Liu Xie said, and Xu Hu nodded. At the end, he looked at the man on the ground and said, "Fortunately, this person is not a bad person, otherwise..."
Liu Xie didn't say anything, but Xu Huang and others were shocked and sweated! You know, there were only a few of them. If they were targeted and secretly plotted against them, what would it be? It doesn't matter if they died, but the young master in front of him is the current emperor!
"Young Master has taught me, I will remember it!"
Liu Xie laughed and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, since it's a misunderstanding, then it's time to untie it. Come and loosen the tie for him and serve tea in the middle! Brother Zhen, please come inside!"
The reason why Liu Xie was so polite to Zhen Yan was actually because he remembered Jia Xu's words about "involving the Chamber of Commerce". Since he was going to interfere with the Chamber of Commerce, isn't this Wuji Chamber of Commerce good? I just don't know where the destination of this Wuji Chamber of Commerce is?
Zhen Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu! Since it was Brother Liu's invitation, I'll disturb you!" As he said, he said to the servant who had just been loosened, "You go back and talk to someone first, and I'll talk to you here for a while..."
Liu Xie and Xu Huang welcomed Zhen Yan to the inner room, while Xu Huang was still standing behind Liu Xie and became a guard, making Zhen Yan quite uncomfortable.
