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

Chapter 58 Zhongkang follows
They really respect Zhou Qi, and they don't want to break contact just because of this.

However, the two of them had verbally rejected each other before. Although Zhou Qi did not show any emotion at that time, he instead comforted them with words.

But everyone changes.

Zhou Qi was previously in such a state of desolation that he was still a fugitive, but now he has become an official under the command of Sili Xiaowei, and even the high officials of the imperial court have to stay out of his way.

Xu Ding sighed softly and said, "I don't know if we will still have a chance to meet Ziyi."

But Xu Chu muttered: "If he won't have friendship with us after gaining power, we don't need to miss this friendship."

"Tap Tap!"

Just when the two of them were worrying about gains and losses, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the yard. They immediately looked at each other with a little sparkle in their eyes.

Xujiazhai only has plow horses, which are used for plowing the land. Normally, it is impossible for the horses to run like this.

This sound of hoofbeats obviously did not belong to the plow horses in Xujiazhai.

"Brother, you are at home!"

Just when they were about to go out to investigate, they suddenly heard Zhou Qi's voice. Both of them were overjoyed and hurried towards the door.

"Zi Yi, it is indeed you!"

Xu Chu ran ahead. When he opened the door and saw Zhou Qi holding the horse, he was extremely happy and stepped forward to give him a bear hug.

Zhou Qi also hugged Xu Chu back, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

It wasn't until the two of them hugged each other that Xu Ding stepped forward and saluted: "Zhou Zheng came from afar. We are disappointed to see you from afar, so don't be surprised if you still hope to be Zheng!"

Zhou Qi stepped forward and slapped Xu Ding's hands that were bowing, and said with an angry look on his face: "Brother, where do you want to put Qi in this way?"

"Although you and I are not flesh and blood brothers, we are congenial and like brothers and sisters. Don't mention the title when you are engaged in business, otherwise you will be really embarrassing and murderous little brother!"

Xu Chu nodded in agreement and said, "We are all bold men, so there is no need to pretend!"

Xu Ding smiled and said nothing more. He just took Zhou Qi's arm and led him towards the courtyard. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Xu Chu: "Don't hold the horse for Ziyi yet!"

Xu Chu didn't take it seriously and took the reins with a smile.

Although they had not been separated for a long time, they still missed each other very much. They did not exchange polite greetings and talked directly and intimately, each talking about their experiences in the past few days.

The Xu brothers live as usual.

On the contrary, Zhou Qi's experience was full of ups and downs, and the two felt their hearts surge. They both sweated for Zhou Qi and were delighted that the other party was reused by Yang Qiu.

The three of them chatted for about a cup of tea, and Zhou Qi got up suddenly and said, "I have important matters to deal with when I return to Xiang County, and I just pass by here to see the two elder brothers, so I don't dare to stay too long."

"It's a worthwhile trip to see my two brothers today. I should bid farewell to my two brothers."

The Xu brothers were chatting intensely, when they suddenly heard that Zhou Qi wanted to leave, they were all in a hurry, Xu Ding hurriedly asked to stay: "At least we should have a light meal."

Xu Chu also persuaded: "I'll see you next time. I don't know when it will be. Why did Ziyi hurry?"

Zhou Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I also wish I could get together with the two elder brothers every day. It's really an order from the emperor, so I dare not delay."

Xu Ding hesitated for a long time when he heard the words, and then asked: "I don't know why Ziyi went to Xiang County? Of course, if it involves court secrets, Ziyi doesn't have to make trouble, and there is no need to tell me."

Zhou Qi smiled when he heard this and said, "It's not like you can't speak to others."

"To tell you the truth, the reason why the envoy came to Peiguo is to arrest Wang Ji and investigate his illegal deeds."

"Because Wang Ji has already been punished, and he doesn't want to waste time in Peiguo, I ordered my younger brother to go back to Xiang County to arrest Wang Ji's followers and collect evidence."

Xu Ding thought for a long time and said: "If Ziyi goes to Luoyang, my two brothers will be unable to leave their homeland, so it will be difficult for them to follow and help."

"However, Wang Ji has brought trouble to the country for many years, and we have also suffered greatly from it. We will not hesitate to help Ziyi collect evidence of his crimes and cut off his gang members."

"But spring plowing is coming soon, so I can't leave my hometown. If my son doesn't abandon me, I can take Zhongkang with me."

"It is expected that Wang Ji has been cultivating the country for many years, and there are countless minions and gangsters. If you want to arrest all of them, you need strong assistants."

"Zhong Kang's martial arts skills are quite extraordinary. Although he cannot help Ziyi collect evidence of Wang Ji's crime, he can help arrest Wang Ji's gang members."

Zhou Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hastily said, "I'm determined to do what I want, I dare not invite you!"

Xu Chu was also full of joy when he heard this.

He has basically lived in Xujiazhai since he was born, and rarely has the opportunity to travel far, so he has long been a little tired of staying.

If he could follow Zhou Qi to Xiang County, Xu Chu would naturally be full of joy.

Xu Ding hurriedly supported Zhou Qi and said, "Zi Yi doesn't need to thank me. In fact, I also have selfish motives."

"I felt guilty for rejecting Ziyi's invitation before, but now that we are bound by the clan, we don't dare to do whatever we want, so we have to accept Ziyi's kindness."

"Moreover, the situation in Luoyang is complicated. My two brothers are from low backgrounds and are not strong enough to protect themselves in such a deep pool, so they cannot accompany us."

"I asked Zhongkang to follow Ziyi this time, only to handle the affairs of Xiangxian County."

"In addition to making up for the previous guilt towards Ziyi, it also means to let Zhongkang go out to experience some experience."

"Zhongkang is simple-minded and doesn't think too much about many things. If there is a collision in Xiang County, I hope Ziyi can take care of it."

I have to say that Xu Ding is definitely the kind of thoughtful person.

He had long heard that Zhou Qi had brought many knights with him to Xiangxian this time. With his status as an official under the command of the Sili Xiaowei, plus these fifty fully armed knights, except for those who wanted to raise troops to rebel, Otherwise, these knights would be enough to sweep through the entire Xiang County.

He asked Xu Chu to follow Zhou Qi. Not only would there be no danger, but it would actually strengthen the relationship between them and Zhou Qi.

Xu Chu can also gain experience from this, why not?
Zhou Qi doesn't care about these, as long as Xu Chu can stay by his side, he can develop a relationship with him.

Even if he will return to Xujiazhai after the work is over, he will still leave the foundation of his relationship with him. If Zhou Qi becomes prosperous one day, there will be enough capital for the Xu brothers to make up their minds to invest. Wouldn't it be easy to recruit the two of them?

If Zhou Qi doesn't have the ability to get to that point by himself, no matter how much he says, it's just nonsense.

Just like that, Zhou Qi appeared in the team with Xu Chu.

He specially asked someone to give Xu Chuyun a good horse, and the knight who gave up the horse was temporarily placed in Xujiazhai.

Zhou Qi and others did not stay any longer and sped directly in the direction of Xiangxian County.

Because they were wearing armor, fully armed, and carrying the banner of Sili Xiaowei's Mansion, no one dared to intercept them along the way.

Even on the way, officials from all over the country had to entertain them graciously and be responsible for their food.
