Chapter 78 Confrontation
Zhao Yun is still wearing the black coat and black headband.

His clothes were no different from those of the soldiers next to him, but he looked more heroic.

Gongsun Yan, who was standing under the verandah, smiled at him.

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, as if he was worried about being at Gongsun's house, he lowered his head and saluted Gongsun Yan from a distance.

His overly polite reaction made Gongsun Yan raise his eyebrows slightly.

She didn't like that he was so rude and polite.

Alan, who was following behind, turned his head slightly to glance at Gongsun Yan's profile, then lowered his head thoughtfully.

The chariot arranged by Mrs. Jiang was quickly carried to the corridor.

Gongsun Cheng hadn't woken up yet, and he was worried that he would be scared if he didn't see anyone familiar when he woke up, so Ah Qing guarded him in the wing.

With Alan's support, Gongsun Yan got on the chariot.

When passing the courtyard gate, Zhao Yun, who had already told the people left behind to take good precautions, took two white-horsed soldiers with him. The three of them acted as bodyguards and followed behind the chariot with swords in hand.

The two people carried the chariot very smoothly. Because it was powered by human power, it was safer and more stable than driving by car. It was not as cumbersome as a horse-drawn carriage when entering the house or garden.

But there is no shelter from the wind!

As Gongsun Yan, he could not sit in the four-person carriage with a tent.

As I walked through the yard, the cold wind of early spring in the Northland penetrated into my bones.

She couldn't help but shiver, thinking she might as well come down and walk by herself.

In order to portray a filial woman, she wore an unhemmed white linen dress. Even though she wore several layers inside and out, the coarse linen material meant that the dress could not provide much warmth.

The cold wind passed through the loose stitches of the fabric, causing goosebumps all over my body.

You have to straighten your back and not shrink back.

Gongsun Yan regretted it so much that he even lost interest in viewing the scenery in Gongsun's garden.

Even though she worked hard to open her shoulders and back, straighten her chest and raise her head, she behaved like a noble lady from aristocratic family.

But the slight trembling of his body still failed to escape the attention of those around him.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly and took two quick steps forward, walking side by side with the chariot, blocking the wind.

He was tall, and walking in the wind could protect her from the cold wind.

Gongsun Yan, whose lips were white and his fingernails were blue from the cold, gave him a grateful glance.

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that Zhao Yun stood aside and the wind blocked him, and it seemed that he was not so cold anymore.

The early spring of the Little Ice Age in the late Han Dynasty was really not much different from the winter of later generations.

Alan asked quietly if he needed to go back to get a cloak.

When he left Xiangguan, Gongsun Da's wife Qian prepared several boxes of clothes for Gongsun Yan, including a fur-lined cloak.

Gongsun Yan was shaken for a moment, but still refused.

Now the reputation of Ayan Chunxiao of the Gongsun family has spread.

To keep filial piety to my father, brother, mother and sister, I don’t wear mink fur and eat sparingly and drink less.

Today was her first meeting with the Gongsun family, and it was very necessary to maintain such a personality.

If you choose a concave persona, you should be concave even when you are kneeling.

Gongsun Yan clasped his hands in his sleeves and sniffed secretly. His nose was almost full of snot, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

The chariot walked all the way out of the small courtyard where Gongsun Yan lived temporarily and passed through Gongsun's house.

He had no time to wonder what the courtyards of wealthy families looked like in this era. Gongsun Yan only felt that the road was long.

Just when she couldn't hold back her itchy nose and almost sneezed, the main hospital finally arrived!
Different from the small courtyard where Gongsun Yan temporarily lives, the main courtyard is black and red and grand.

To go to the front hall, you have to go up a long staircase.There are two stone crouching tigers standing on both sides of the wide door. When you step up the stairs, you are facing these two exquisitely carved stone statues that seem to choose people to devour.

The window panes, lintels, wall strips and railings are all made of sunken and sandalwood, with vermilion patterns on them, and the citron beams are decorated with gold animal heads.

The tile surface is coated with walnut oil, which makes it shiny under natural light.

It looks really majestic.

Unfortunately, in this majestic place, there was quite a bit of quarreling.

Among them were the angry shouts of the warriors.

It's Tian Kai.

Gongsun Yan stepped off the chariot and heard a familiar voice in the hall, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Yun.

"It is shameless to seek to seize the wealth of your deceased brother and humiliate weak orphans and girls like this!"

Tian Kai's voice in the hall was high-pitched and penetrating, and the final notes echoed throughout the house for a long time.

Gongsun Yan tried his best to control his raised lips and quickened his pace, seemingly anxious.

Zhao Yun was supposed to be guarding outside the palace, but he could not rest assured when he heard the quarrel, so he followed closely inside.

"Uncle Tian, ​​what happened...ah!" Gongsun Yan walked into the lobby quickly without paying attention and kicked a round object on the ground. When he looked down, he found that it was a human head with messy hair covering his face.

She never expected to see such an exciting thing as soon as she entered the door.

She yelled and dodged directly behind Zhao Yun, who was guarding her in front of her.

The vermilion lacquer box containing the human head seemed to have been knocked over by someone and fell to the ground.

The man's head was kicked by Gongsun Yan, his nose was a little crooked, and he rolled around a few times before stopping in the middle of the lobby.

At this time, Gongsun Yan's body no longer felt as cold as before, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

When he heard her scream, Zhao Yun stepped forward in three steps and protected Gongsun Yan, who was running towards him, behind him. He pulled out three fingers of the sword from his waist, then frowned and looked around the hall.

The old man with a pale face sitting at the top was full of anger.

Tian Kai, Zhang Ze and several people dressed as stewards stood on the left side, their hands on the sabers around their waists. There were several large boxes at their feet. The lids of the boxes were opened, and there seemed to be some documents and slips inside.

Gongsun Jing, whom he had met yesterday, blushed and stood on the right side with a clear-bearded scribe and a soldier who also held a sword.

That soldier Zhao Yun also saw him yesterday. He should be one of Gongsun Jing's bodyguard generals.

The two factions were separated on the left and right sides of the hall, facing each other across the three-legged beast-swallowing copper stove in the hall that was half a person tall.

There was also a young girl standing alone by the curtain, looking half-smiling.

Zhao Yun held the handle of the sword at his waist, and his sharp eyes swept over her body and then back to the two sides in the confrontation.

There was silence in the hall for a while, no one spoke.

The tense atmosphere in the field seemed to be stagnant because of this episode.

At this time, the old man sitting at the head of the hall broke the silence: "Is this Ayan?"

Gongsun Yan hid behind Zhao Yun, looking at the dark red blood stain on the toe of his plain white hemp shoes, and feeling nauseous from the smell of raw meat emanating from the head a few steps away.

When she heard the old man's question in the hall, she was stunned and subconsciously peeked half of Zhao Yun's face from behind to take a look.

The old man was dressed in black clothes with dark patterns and a hair crown. He frowned and sat behind the desk at his head. It was obvious that he looked pretty good when he was young.

But at this moment, his face was sullen, his loose skin was drooping, and his whole body seemed to be filled with unhappy emotions.

This should be her grandfather.

Gongsun Yan lowered his head and walked out from behind Zhao Yun.

"Exactly."
