Bachelor

Chapter 89 Bodyguard
Just after waking up from sleep, Sun Dan still felt a little soft, so he leaned against the head of the bed, lazily unwilling to move: "Sun Hao, tell me, what happened to that Feng Zhen?"

Sun Hao chuckled: "What else can it be? He is a refugee from the south, and he has no relatives in Shandong. Although he is very skilled in martial arts, he has no way to earn a living. Now he has nowhere to go, and he wants to attach himself to you. "

Sun Dan rubbed his nose: "Depending on me, we are just a poor scholar, and eating is a problem. If the Sun family didn't give me a tael of silver a month, I'm afraid I would starve to death, and I can support other people. person?"

"Brother Dan, you're joking again. Now, among Sun Jiaxin's younger brothers, you and Sun Jia are the richest. We made some money from publishing books, and got a lot of people's shares in the past few days. Although I also made some money for you Yinzi, but you also know that my hands are very scattered, I come in with my left hand and go with my right hand. As for Sun Jia, Aunt Jing was deducted half a year and a month, and now her yard expenses are all maintained by the little girl Pianzi, so she is also a little nervous .It’s you, you don’t have much to spend, and you are very fat.”

Sun Hao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this Feng Zhen is quite pitiful. Ever since he knew you had won the top spot in the undergraduate case, he came to your door and said that he wanted to meet Mr. Dan. But how can he get into Huichang as a poor man? The door of Housun’s house. When the concierge saw his poor appearance, he would not come to tell him at all, and dismissed him with a few words. But this guy is stubborn, he comes every day, and has been guarding here for more than ten days.”

"It's really persistent." Sun Dan took his hand off his nose and sighed softly.

"It's also extremely poor. His origin is unknown, and he has nowhere to go except to know you and me. In order to find a way to survive, I don't care about other things."

Sun Dan nodded. In the eyes of later generations, ancient times seemed to be a lawless and free world.In fact, this is just a fabrication of martial arts novels.The real ancient society was actually very closed, and the household registration management was extremely strict.Ordinary people have to go to the government to issue a guide when they go thirty miles away, and there are official checks along the way.If you find out that you are a black household without a registered permanent residence, without further ado, you will be beaten up and thrown into prison for a year or so. If you can't die, you will be sent to the army.

The ancient society had a small floating population and adopted local clan autonomy.When a stranger arrives in a strange place, it is easy to be discovered. The local clan will lead people to arrest you without the government's intervention.

Therefore, if the chivalrous man in the novel who walks the world with a sword does not have a legal identity certificate, he will fall into the vast ocean of people's war on the first day of going out as a knight.

In history, the real chivalrous men were actually the leaders of local wealthy families.Han Feizi's "chivalry uses martial arts to break the ban" refers to the trampling of the law by local powerful forces.

This man named Feng Zhen was a refugee from the south, and he had been hiding in Jinan City since he went north along the Grand Canal.Fortunately, Jinan is a big city with a lot of people, so he won't attract attention.However, if you don't get a legal status, you don't want to go out of the city in this life, let alone live and work in peace and contentment.

Judging by Feng Zhen's appearance, his martial arts skills are also outstanding.If such a person is considered a skilled technician in later generations, at least he is also a national first-level athlete, and he will never be a beggar for a lifetime.

During this period of time, Sun Dan was so busy with socializing that he was so busy that he forgot about Feng Zhen.Now when Sun Hao mentioned it, he realized that he wanted to take back such a fierce thug as his bodyguard.And Feng Zhen, who seemed rough and bold, was actually not that kind of stupid idiot, and he would definitely come in handy in the future.

He patted his forehead, secretly annoyed: I was so busy and confused, I almost missed such a martial arts master.Of course, that's fine too, it's fine to frustrate his spirit and let him suffer for a few more days.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan got up unhurriedly, got dressed, washed his face, and then came to the street outside Tongle Courtyard with Sun Hao.

As soon as he went out, he saw Feng Zhen standing on the side of the street wearing a rotten linen clothes, looking into the yard constantly.

"Hey, what are you doing standing here? Come here quickly." Sun Hao waved to Feng Zhen.

Feng Zhen ran over in a hurry, his burly body brought up a gust of wind.As soon as he rushed in front of Sun Dan, he knelt down with a "plop!" and shouted: "The villain Feng Zhen has seen Master Dan." He kept kowtow.

Sun Dan hurriedly pulled him up and said, "I heard that you have been looking for me for the past few days. What is the matter? Sun Dan is just a poor scholar, not a master. Get up quickly and don't let anyone joke."

Feng Zhen took advantage of the opportunity to stand up and said with an apologetic smile: "The villain got thirty cents from Mr. Dan's guidance. With this money, I finally survived the past few days. Otherwise, I would have died by the side of the road." Hungry. Mr. Dan is very kind, the villain never forgets, and always wants to come to thank you, but the master is busy these days, so I can't see him."

Sun Dan said lightly: "That day I also had itchy hands for a while, so I changed my trick. You thanked me at that time, so you don't need to come here in person." He looked Feng Zhen up and down, and found that this guy's face was a little blue, his eyes He was also a little slack, and his body was constantly sweating, as if he was very hungry.Then he said casually: "Have you eaten yet?"

Feng Zhen muttered a few times, he seemed to want to be polite, but he couldn't bear the hunger, so he said after a long time: "Master Hui Dan, the villain hasn't eaten a single bit of decent food since noon yesterday."

"I just woke up and haven't eaten yet, why don't we find an elegant restaurant and have something to eat?"

"How can I get this... I don't need to eat anything, as long as I can satisfy my hunger, a few cakes are enough..."

Sun Dan didn't say much, just nodded at him with a smile, and walked forward.

Feng Zhen hurriedly chased after him, following suit.

Sun Dan took Feng Zhen to the restaurant that he and Sun Hao often go to. This restaurant is considered first-class in Jinan City, and some of its dishes are very good.Shandong cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines. It has a strong taste and is full of oil and water. Sun Dan is exercising recently and needs a lot of high-calorie food for nourishment.The food here is just to his liking.

After entering the restaurant, he went up the stairs as usual and walked towards the private room on the second floor.

The business of the restaurant is good today, and there are a few drunken diners on the stairs who refuse to give way.

Feng Zhen didn't talk nonsense, he stepped forward and lifted them up one by one and threw them aside.

Sun Dan nodded secretly, this Feng Zhen had some sharp eyesight, and knew to open the way for the master ahead.

Entering a small pavilion, Sun Dan ordered some classic dishes in Shandong cuisine, such as sweet and sour carp, nine-turn large intestine, and double crispy soup, and asked Feng Zhen to sit down.

Feng Zhen refused again and again, saying: "In front of Mr. Dan, there is no place for a villain to sit." But his eyes were fixed on the hot food, and his throat couldn't stop rolling.

Sun Dan: "It's okay." Pointing to the empty space next to him, he put another piece of sea cucumber into the plate in front of Feng Zhen, and said, "This sea cucumber was shipped from Dengzhou, it's not worth much, but fortunately It is smooth and sweet, and it is not easy to eat in the south."

Feng Zhen thanked him, and then sat down, not daring to move his chopsticks first, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Dan, the chief of the examination head of the Academy of Sciences. The villain is here to congratulate the master. The master is a famous talent in Shandong. He is valued by Bachelor Xiao Yang, and if he is selected as a Juren or a Jinshi in the future, he will surely fly to the top, and his future is boundless."

Sun Dan: "How do you know about this?"

Feng Zhen replied and said: "Since the villain received the favor of the master that day, he has been thinking of repaying it every day. I heard that the master is Sun Dan, the talented son of the Sun family, and he is taking part in the examination of the Academy of Sciences. The villain has kept his eyes open and wants to see Let's see how the master can get the first place. Fortunately, the master is very talented and lived up to everyone's expectations and won the first place, and the villain is also happy for the master."

Sun Dan took a look at Feng Zhen. He didn't expect this guy to actually follow him. He really is a scheming man who knows how to behave.

Sun Dan smiled, noncommittal, and pointed to the food, signaling him to eat first.

Feng Zhen was so hungry that he ate all the food on the table like a storm, and his appetite was astonishing.Just what he ate just now is enough for Sun Dan to last for two days.

Warriors consume a lot of body and eat much more than ordinary people.After calculation, this guy ate at least two catties of rice and a lot of food and drink.With his way of eating, ordinary people really can't afford it.

When he was almost done eating, Sun Dan asked, "How have you been these few days?"

"What else can you do, a broken family is just a day to day." Feng Zhen replied that he had been sleeping under the bridge for the past few days and hadn't made much money.Drink the river water when you are thirsty, and tighten your belt when you are hungry. Anyway, you are only short of breath, and you are going to see the king of Hades.

"Oh, where are you from, and how did you come to Shandong, tell me."

"Actually, I am..." Feng Zhen hesitated for a while.

Sun Dan: "Feng Zhen, do you have something to hide?"

Feng Zhen gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "Anyway, Feng Zhen's life is neither human nor ghost, and he has already had nothing to love, and he is not afraid of that much. If you talk about the master, I am originally a military household, and I am a junior in King Ning's army. Banner, under the control of five small soldiers. Later, when the army encountered Wang Shouren's soldiers on the battlefield, they were dispersed, and Feng Zhen escaped with his life by luck and ran to the north."

"So it's the rebels?" Sun Hao's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Feng Zhen cupped his hands: "Thank you for the kindness of Master Dan. If the master really wants to arrest the villain and go to the official, the villain will never resist."

Sun Dan looked at Feng Zhen calmly, and sighed deliberately: "You are just a pawn in the army, obeying orders, and King Ning's rebellion has nothing to do with you. The soldiers are in chaos, but the people who suffer are ordinary people. What if you go to see the officer?"

After finishing speaking, he took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and put it in front of Feng Zhen, and said, "Here is ten taels of silver. Although it is not much, it is enough for you to go back to your hometown in the south. If the road is inconvenient, I will help you go to the government to open it." A road guide will always let you go home safely."

Sun Dan looked at Feng Zhen quietly, and thought: If he really wants to go home, I will treat the ten taels of silver as a kind deed.But what can he do when he goes home? According to the laws of the Ming Empire, he still has to go to the military household to report, and he will be a soldier for the rest of his life, let alone any future.Thinking of his kind, they are very shrewd, and they are not easy to control.Instead of forcing him to stay by your side, it's better to be generous. If you can move this rough soldier, maybe you can get him to take refuge in him sincerely.
