Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 The Desolate Du Ji

"Haha, it's good that it's poisonous, at least it saves you the pain of flesh and blood." The drunk man laughed when he heard this, as if gloating.

Liu Yu was not angry either, he smiled lightly, and said with some interest: "You should be a scholar, and judging by your sitting posture, movements, and expression, you should be a gentleman. Why are you so downcast?"

The drunk man was silent, took a sip of wine, then sighed softly, and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, you should take care of your own affairs. Mr. Zhao's food is so delicious, how can no one come to eat it?" ? The reason why no one comes to eat is because the shop across the street beats and kicks anyone who dares to come."

After this person finished speaking, he ignored Liu Yu, stood up and walked upstairs.After a while, he disappeared at the end of the stairs.

"Guest officer, don't listen to his nonsense. Cuiyun Tower doesn't dare to do anything, as long as you wait for my brother to come back, my brother is amazing." Zhao Hongyi showed shame and anger on his face, but then he was quite angry Said proudly.It seemed that as long as his brother was there, nothing would happen.

Liu Yu wasn't worried at all, of course it wasn't because Zhao Hongyi said how powerful her brother was, but because of his confidence in his own force.Looking at the empty staircase, he became very interested in the eccentric drunk.

"Miss Zhao, who was that person just now?" Liu Yu wiped his mouth and asked casually.

When Zhao Hongyi heard Liu Yu asking the drunk man, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily: "That man is called Du Ji, he is really disgusting, he has lived and ate for nothing at my house for a long time. What's worse is that he doesn't know what to do. Demonic law, even my brother and grandpa didn't drive him away, just let him eat and live for nothing."

Looking at Zhao Hongyi who was angry and puffed up her red cheeks, Liu Yu unexpectedly smiled, and fell in love with her from the bottom of his heart.But when she said the word Du Ji, he couldn't laugh, his face was full of shock.

"Du Ji, Du Ji, is it really him?" He secretly pinched his thigh, and muttered in shock, "Yes, that's him, it must be him. Didn't the history books say that Du Ji said goodbye this year? Friends who are officials in your hometown, come to Xudu to look for opportunities to develop?
I remember that he made friends with Geng Ji, and he purposely spoke loudly during night chats at his house, and he used his words to attract the attention of Xun Yu next door, so he was recommended by Xun Yu.That's right, he must have not met Geng Ji at this moment, that's why he is so downcast.Tsk tsk, a good memory really helps. "

Who is Du Ji who shocked Liu Yu so much?
Du Ji, courtesy name Bohou, was born in Jingzhao Duling.Cao Wei officials and generals at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.A descendant of Du Yannian, the imperial historian of the Western Han Dynasty.He is a meritorious officer in the county of Liguan and a county magistrate in Zheng, and is good at solving cases.Xun Yu recommended him to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appointed him as Sikong Sizhi, transferred him to the captain of Qiang guard, and envoy Chijie to lead Xiping prefect.After Cao Pi accepted Zen and ascended the throne, he granted Du Ji the title of Marquis of Fengleting.From the official to the minister, the servant shoots.Later, during the trial voyage of the Tao River, it was sunk by a strong wind, and Du Ji drowned. He was 62 years old when he died.

From this resume, it can be seen that Du Ji is extraordinary. He can be described as both civil and military, wise and brave.And the person Liu Yu saw did have a bit of the characteristics recorded in the history books, but there were some discrepancies with what was recorded in the history books.For example, the previous schadenfreude, but it may be because of youth and being in a downturn.

Liu Yu was silent for a long time, his expression kept changing, and all the information about Du Ji involuntarily appeared in his mind.

But this frightened Zhao Hongyi, she thought Liu Yu was frightened stupid because of Du Ji's words.

"Hey, hey, you really don't have to be afraid, my brother will take you home all the way, my brother is really good."

Liu Yu was awakened by Zhao Hongyi's words, and when he looked up and saw her little face wrinkled with worry, he was stunned.

"Zhao... Hongyi, so beautiful!"

Thinking of Zhao Hongyi's name in his heart, he suddenly thought that this girl's surname was Zhao, and she also said that her brother was very powerful. His heart moved, and he thought of a person.

Could it be that person?

Thinking of that person, he felt a surge of excitement, even more excited than hearing Du Ji's name.Immediately, he asked with a trembling voice, "Hongyi, what's your brother's name?"

Zhao Hongyi was a little strange about Liu Yu's excitement, but when she thought of his frightened behavior before and thought he was still afraid, she was no longer surprised.

"Don't worry, my brother is really powerful, and he's also a nice person." Zhao Hongyi comforted again with a gentle voice, "Oh, my brother's name is Xia Houlan, and he will definitely protect you."

In fact, Xia Houlan is not her biological brother, but he is from her hometown, so she always calls him brother.

As soon as he heard that it was Xia Houlan and not the person he thought of, Liu Yu immediately lost interest.But when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. The name Xia Houlan seemed familiar?

"Who is your brother, can you tell me again?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt familiar. He felt that he should know him, so he asked again immediately.

Zhao Hongyi rolled his eyes, thinking that he didn't believe it, and said angrily: "I said my brother's name is Xia, Hou, and Lan. He will definitely protect you. You heard me."

"Xiahoulan, Xiahoulan!" Regardless of Zhao Hongyi's anger, Liu Yu muttered the name in a low voice, suddenly his eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh, and said annoyedly, "Why did I forget him, isn't he just Zhao Yun? He’s from the same hometown. Haha, if he can leave his name in history, he must be no ordinary person.”

Zhao Hongyi didn't hear what he said, and looked at him like a lunatic, afraid that he would be frightened into a fool, and also afraid that he would not pay for the meal, so he asked Liu Han worriedly: "Little girl, does your brother have a brain problem? "

Liu Han blushed when she asked her, quickly pulled Liu Yu, and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Being pulled by Liu Han like this, Liu Yu also felt that he was a little out of control, coughed twice, and changed the subject and said: "By the way, what about your brother?"

"My brother has gone to work outside, you don't have to worry, he will come back in the evening, you can just stay here for a while." Seeing that Liu Yu was back to normal, Zhao Hongyi hurriedly comforted him softly, fearing that he would be afraid again.

At this time, an old man came out from the kitchen.The old man has white beard and hair, but his body is strong and energetic.As he took off his apron, he said with a gentle smile: "Don't be afraid, the younger generation, the guards of the Cuiyun Building are no match for my boy. I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you about this in advance."

Could it be that he was born with a fearful look?Liu Yu touched his nose helplessly, thinking with a wry smile.

"Old man, I don't pay attention to a few guards." With a proud smile, Liu Yufeng said lightly, "But I am a little puzzled. If brother Xiahou is so good, how can the old man do business?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but Mr. Zhao knew what Liu Yu meant, so he didn't get angry right away, sighed, and said, "Oh, two fists can't beat four hands! There are many guards in the Cuiyun Tower, seeing Xiaolan escorting this They ran to beat that person. When Xiaolan rushed to save that person, they scattered and ran to find other people. Xiaolan couldn't protect everyone by herself. Therefore, no one came after a long time. gone."

"Since Cuiyun Tower is so domineering, why didn't you report to the officials?" Liu Yu continued to ask with a puzzled expression.

When Mr. Zhao heard his words, he smiled unconsciously and said, "Reporting to the official? You are too young, you don't know the way to go here. The Cuiyun Tower was opened by the Liu family, and the Liu family is a noble family, a Han Dynasty. Shi clan relatives, what are we ordinary people fighting against them?"

Hearing Mr. Zhao's smirk, Liu Yu was not angry, but was silent for a while.It is recorded in the history books that Cao Cao's law enforcement was strict, even his clansmen were not spared. It seems that this is just a special situation, just like the Song Dynasty that people in the Song Dynasty knew was different from the Song Dynasty that people in the Ming Dynasty knew.

"Master, this is the meal money." Liu Yu reached out and took out a handful of money and put it on the table, then stood up and said, "Han'er, let's go."

"You can't leave, you have to wait until my brother comes back in the evening." Mr. Zhao was shocked when he heard this, while Zhao Hongyi hurriedly stopped him.

Regarding Zhao Hongyi's kindness, he just smiled lightly, and said: "Girl in red, thank you for your kindness, but I, Liu Yu, don't pay attention to some mere guards."

After speaking, he bypassed Zhao Hongyi and walked straight to the door, while Liu Han followed behind him.

Mr. Zhao came back to his senses, looked at his back and said in a low voice, "I misunderstood, so I don't know if you really have that ability."

Zhao Hongyi stood there, stomping his feet angrily, as if he was angry at Liu Yu's ignorance.Du Ji on the second floor saw the scene below through the window, and couldn't help but give his right hand a pause, but continued to put the wine into his mouth within a second.
