The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 189 Farewell
At the end of September, Lin Chao brought Zheng Xuan and Xun Shuang together and hosted a banquet.

During the banquet, Lin Chao clasped his hands to the two of them and said: "Teacher, Yue Zhang, I will be going to Xuzhou someday, this time I want to bid farewell to you two."

"It's so hasty!" Xun Shuang was surprised when he heard the words, "Why don't my son-in-law stay here for a while?"

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "When will Zichu leave, and someday he will return to his hometown in Qingzhou. You and I, master and apprentice, can go together together."

"Brother Kang Cheng is leaving too?"

After getting along these days, the relationship between the two old men has become extremely familiar, and they have even changed their names.

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Ciming, I planned to spend the rest of my life in my hometown. If it wasn't for this Zichu wedding, I wouldn't come here to disturb these days."

Lin Chao stood up, bowed his hands to Xun Shuang, and said seriously: "Yue Zhang, before leaving, I have something to say, please think carefully about it."

After all, Lin Chao has a title and official position, even if he marries Xun Cai, he doesn't have to bow down in front of Xun Shuang, and Xun Shuang will not treat Lin Chao as an ignorant junior.

"Zi Chu has something to say, you might as well say it straight."

Xun Shuang hurriedly offered a hand, and signaled Lin Chao not to be too polite.

"The Central Plains will soon be in chaos. In order to avoid the disaster of swordsmen, I asked my father-in-law to move the Xun family to Xuzhou. Father-in-law can rest assured that one day, the Xun family will be safe."

Lin Chao's words were very abrupt and straightforward.

He didn't want to take advantage of the Xun family, and he didn't have any selfishness. He just wanted to save the face of Xun Cai, Xun Yu and others, and didn't want the Xun family to suffer.

It is because he has no selfishness that he is extremely calm.

Hearing this, Xun Shuang's muddy eyes suddenly became extremely clear. He stared at Lin Chao for a long time, and then slowly said, "Son-in-law, is this your idea, or Liu Xuande's idea?"

The Xun family is a first-class family in the world, and every move will arouse the association and suspicion of countless people.As the head of the family, Xun Shuang had to act cautiously.

Liu Bei has just become Xuzhou Mu, and his important minister Lin Zichu has married the daughter of the Xun family, which is enough to attract the attention of others.

In addition, Xun Yu, Xun Chen, and Xun You held important positions under Liu Bei, and now moving the family to Xuzhou means that the Xun family is completely tied to Liu Bei's chariot, and there is no room for change.

That's why Xun Shuang asked Lin Chao whether he meant it or Liu Bei's.

Knowing people with eyesight and appointing his two nephews and one grandnephew, Liu Bei is naturally the master of heroes in Xun Shuang's heart.

But this does not mean that the Xun family wants to defect to Liu Bei.

The way to prosper a centuries-old family is naturally to place bets separately.

The Xun family already has three young talents who have defected to Liu Bei, and the rest, whether it is due to personal ambition or family survival, have to find another way.

Lin Chao naturally understood Xun Shuang's concerns, and immediately said: "Back to Yuezhang, this is something from the bottom of my heart, I hope Yuezhang thinks twice."

He directly explained to Xun Shuang that this was his own meaning and had nothing to do with Liu Bei.

Hearing this, Xun Shuang nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

If Liu Bei invites him, Xun Shuang will naturally think about it carefully, and even if he disagrees, he must give a reasonable explanation.

After all, no one wants to offend one of the princes hastily, and they are the powerful princes with tens of thousands of troops in their hands.

But if it's just Lin Chao's personal suggestion, it doesn't hurt to refuse.

After thinking for a while, Xun Shuang smiled and said, "My son-in-law's kind words, I have written them down, but the matter is very important, and I have to think carefully about it."

This is tantamount to politely rejecting Lin Chao's proposal.

Lin Chao was not annoyed by this.

He had no intention of using the Xun family to win over the Yingchuan clan, so no matter whether Xun Shuang agreed or refused, he would not be angry.

It's just a pity that Xun Shuang was too cautious, after all, he missed the safest place in the future.

"It's natural. If Yue Zhang has figured it out, he can directly order someone to send a letter to XX."

After that, the three of them just ate, drank and chatted, and Lin Chao never mentioned this matter again.

After a while, Xun Shuang got up to say goodbye, and Zheng Xuan and Lin Chao sent him outside the gate.

After he walked away, Zheng Xuan turned his head and smiled at Lin Chao: "Zi Chu, the Xun family in Yingchuan is so talented, you are not tempted? Just let him Xun Ciming shirk it, are you willing?"

Lin Chao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you are willing or not. Disciples never like to force others to make things difficult, but this time the teacher is too persistent."

"Good boy, dare to make fun of him as a teacher!"

Zheng Xuan pointed at Lin Chao and scolded with a smile: "Being a teacher is not thinking about Lu Zigan's students, but thinking about Lin Zichu."

"Yes, yes, the teacher is right." Lin Chao said with a smile, "But my disciples are reluctant to part with him, the Xun family, but they are not willing to part with the teacher, and senior brother Ji Gui."

Hearing what Lin Chao said, Zheng Xuan had a slight bad feeling in his heart.

"What do you mean by Zichu's words?"

Lin Chao restrained the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Teacher, yesterday received a report that the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou had risen again, surrounded counties and counties, and harmed the people. Wherever they went, there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms. This disciple will never let you down." The teacher returned to Qingzhou alone."

"Don't worry about being a teacher? Then you, Lin Zichu, send some soldiers and horses to protect the teacher all the way."

Zheng Xue said with a faint smile on his face.

"This……"

Old man Zheng, when did you become so witty!

To actually say that you are afraid of death so confidently, what a great Confucian character of your generation!
Seeing that Lin Chao was speechless, Zheng Xuan laughed loudly and said, "Zi Chu, there are only you and my master and apprentice here, so if you have anything to say, you might as well speak up."

After a little thought, Lin Chao decided to tell the truth.

"Teacher Rong said that my disciple wants to open a school in Xuzhou, but he just lacks a great Confucian who is highly respected, knowledgeable about the past and present, elegant in manners, righteous in righteousness and integrity, faithful in the world, and knowledge penetrating from ancient to modern times. I wonder if the teacher is willing to give in?"

"Hahaha!"

After listening, Zheng Xuan looked up to the sky and laughed.

"You, Lin Zichu, have praised your teacher to the sky. If you don't go to be a teacher, wouldn't it be a real name for you to sell for a price?"

Lin Chao smiled and said, "So, the teacher agrees?"

"Forget it, as a teacher, I will go to Xuzhou with you." Zheng Xuan nodded and said, "But there is one thing to say before, the teacher is dying, and the days are numbered. On the day of death, the teacher will definitely return Hometown, don’t stop Zichu when the time comes. If your teacher unfortunately dies in a foreign country, you, Lin Zichu, have to let your teacher fall back to your roots.”

"This is natural. It is the duty of a disciple to provide for the teacher's retirement."

Lin Chao did not talk nonsense like ordinary people, saying that Zheng Xuan will definitely live forever and live a long life.

Instead, he bowed his hands very seriously, expressing that he would be responsible for Zheng Xuan's life and death.

As a great Confucian of the generation, Zheng Xuan has long been indifferent to life and death, so naturally he does not need the flattery of others.

Seeing Lin Chao's response, Zheng Xuan nodded and continued: "Zi Chu, there is one more thing, I'm asking you as a teacher."

Hearing Zheng Xuan's solemnity, Lin Chao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare, what is the teacher's order, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so."

"Your brother Jigui has been serving as a teacher for some years." Zheng Xuan sighed, "but as a teacher, he is an idler in the mountains, so he can't continue to delay his future. Please also ask Zichu to say a few words in front of Liu Xuande, for you Jigui Senior Brother Gui has found an errand, and I am very grateful to Master."

Cui Yan has served Cui Yan for many years, and Zheng Xuan has long regarded him as his own nephew.

"Teacher, don't worry, Senior Brother Ji Gui is a talented person. If he intends to become an official, Duke Xuande will definitely entrust him with an important position."

"Okay, with your words, I feel at ease as a teacher."
