The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

By the time the luncheon had dispersed in the afternoon, all the guests of the Gongsun family had eaten and drunk. Gongsun Zhi was greedy for a few more cups, and staggered out of the middle hall with the support of several Gongsun family servants. Although Zu Ju and Chun Yupei are both elderly people, they have been fighting horses for a long time, and it is not a problem to deal with the amount of alcohol in a meal. Zuju arranged for the guests of the Gongsun family to move to the west courtyard to rest, and the ancestral family was thoughtfully prepared, whether it was the room, the house, or even the hot water for washing; Chun Yupei took the place of Gongsun Zhi and beckoned everyone from the Gongsun family to go to the West Courtyard.

Zu Zhao accompanied him on the side, with several children of the same generation of the Gongsun family, which naturally did not include Gongsun Lingxian. The pretentious grandson was indeed not good at drinking, and after drinking a few glasses of wine alone, he became drunk and stumbled to rest at the lodging with the rest of his relatives.

Zu Ju asked Zu Zhao to entertain the guests of the younger generation of the Gongsun family in the afternoon, which meant that he hoped to take the opportunity to get closer to these people and build a good relationship for the marriage of the two families in the future. However, in the past, Zu Zhao would Xi martial arts and train horses in the afternoon, and in the morning, he had already made an appointment with Zu Ji, and after luncheon, he had to go to Xihe Bridge to meet with the Zhang family brothers, and he was reluctant to spend an afternoon with these Gongsun family children.

Of course, grandfather's order and family affairs cannot be easily violated, and for Zu Zhao, he can only find another way, and the most unfortunate thing is to take these children of the Gongsun family to Xihe Bridge together.

Just as the guests of the Gongsun family were almost settled, Zu Zhao was just about to lead the children of the Gongsun family out of the west courtyard, but at this time, Zu Ji hurried all the way to the west courtyard along the corridor in the backyard. With an anxious look, he found Zu Zhao from the crowd of people coming and going, and mysteriously and seriously pulled Zu Zhao to a small courtyard with few people outside the corridor.

Zu Zhao looked at Zu Ji puzzled and asked, "What's the matter in a hurry?"

Zu Ji gasped a little, it could be seen that he was coming at a hurry along the way, and he said repeatedly: "Eldest prince, Zhang Yu is here, there was a little accident on the side of Xihe Bridge."

Zu Zhao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he asked in a positive voice: "What happened?"

Zu Ji replied: "Zhang Yu said that Zhang Wenyi was injured by someone, and asked us to take someone to rescue him quickly."

Zu Zhao took a breath slowly, his face gradually turned dark, Zhang Yuan was a bit of a famous figure in Anyang Pavilion, and he was actually injured on his own territory, and he was so injured that he even had to find someone to move the soldiers, there were too many surprises. After a short period of thought, he said decisively: "Where is Zhang Zhuren now?"

Zu Ji said: "It's just outside the backyard horse farm."

Zu Zhao bowed slightly, and then said, "You go and prepare my horse first, and then I will go to the horse farm to find you."

Zu Ji nodded quickly, turned around and ran down the hallway to the backyard.

Zu Zhao adjusted his expression, slowly walked to the gate of the west courtyard, and met several children of the Gongsun family.

This time, there were only six or seven young children accompanying the Gongsun family, and four of them were children like Zu Ji, who accompanied them all the way to work and help with chores; In addition to Gongsun Lingxian, there are two other people who are sons and brothers with a bit of status, one of whom is also deeply influenced by the folk customs of the Northland, and has Xi martial arts since childhood, which is quite a bit of Kongwu.

Zu Zhao didn't tell everyone the reason directly, but he apologized again and again, and said that he had something important to go to the adjacent Anyang Pavilion.

The children of the Gongsun family know more or less about the host, and everyone nods their heads and politely pushes it off. Only the long man was tall and big, and he seemed to be a little more serious, and asked: "I saw someone coming to the eldest prince in a panic, could it be that something happened?" I don't know what the eldest prince is going to Anyang Pavilion here, what is the so-called?

Zu Zhao glanced at the other party, but saw that the other party's expression was serious, not out of trouble. He is the eldest son of the ancestral family, and he shows a gentle and modest attitude on weekdays, so of course he can't lie at this time, so he had to say briefly: "The brothers of the Zhang family in Anyang Pavilion are friends with me on weekdays, but today it seems that they are in trouble and were attacked and injured, so please go down and uphold justice." Morality is imperative, and it cannot be excused, so I hope you will forgive me.

That Xi Wu's son looked down and thought about it, and quickly straightened his chest and said: "The eldest prince is really a good and righteous person, and my Gongsun Long admires it the most." In this case, can the eldest prince allow me to go with me?

Zu Zhao didn't hesitate at all, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongsun is really refreshing, I don't have to talk nonsense when I wait, so I will set off with you."

Gongsun Long also stroked his palms and laughed for a while, first told the other children of the same sect to go back to the west courtyard to rest, and then strode with Zu Zhao in the direction of the backyard racecourse.

Coming to the backyard racecourse, Zu Ji had already gathered more than a dozen children of the ancestral family, and each of them finished finishing the mounts. In the corridor outside the racecourse fence near the backyard gate, Zhang Zhengzheng sat on the steps of the corridor with a very annoyed look. Seeing Zu Zhao and Gongsun Long appear, Zu Ji quickly greeted Zhang Pre to the doctor, and the two hurriedly greeted him.

When Zu Zhao saw Zhang Pre, he found that Zhang Pre was sloppy, his clothes were torn in a few places, and one side of his cheeks was slightly red and swollen.

"What the hell is going on?" Without waiting for Zhang to open his mouth, he asked first.

"Not long ago, when the eldest prince and my eldest brother tried archery, an arrogant Orion stood up and pointed out indiscriminately. This morning, my eldest brother and I passed by the town market, and we happened to bump into this guy again..."Zhang said in a hurry.

When he heard this, Zu Zhao had already guessed in his heart. He believed that the hunter would definitely not take the initiative to find the trouble of the Zhang brothers, and he must have thought that the competition was disturbed by this strange person, and he was angry in his heart, so he thought about finding this person to "take revenge". As for the results, it is self-evident, nine times out of ten, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Pre bullied the widows, but they were beaten by others. As soon as he thought of this, he was more and more surprised by the strange man that day, the other party was not only proficient in archery and courageous, but also obviously not a person who talked about it, and the high level of martial arts could be seen.

"My eldest brother originally just wanted to scare this guy, but unexpectedly, this guy couldn't be said, and he directly hit my eldest brother by surprise, even me..."

"You don't need to say more, where is your eldest brother now?" Zu Zhao interrupted Zhang Yu's words in a cold voice and asked bluntly.

"Yes, I was caught by that guy and tied to a tree..."Zhang Yu hesitated for a long time, and then bowed his head and said.

"Scared!" Although Gongsun Long on the side was confused and didn't understand what was going on, after listening to Zhang Yu's last sentence, he immediately showed a sense of urgency and righteousness, "This is too deceitful!"

"No, such wild fanatics are truly hateful. I also hope that the eldest son will definitely make the decision for my eldest brother. Zhang said in a hurry.

"You don't have to panic, I'll go with you." Zu Zhao didn't care about Zhang's statement that he had added oil and vinegar, no matter what happened, it would only be enough to conclude after he personally arrived at the scene.

After that, he immediately instructed Zu Ji to prepare a horse for Gongsun Longdo, and then beckoned the children of his family to get on the horse and set off. Zhang had his own horse, and he didn't wait for orders at this time, and took three steps and two steps to retrieve the horse and jump on the horse.

In a moment, Zu Zhao, Zu Ji and other people rushed out of Zujiazhuang, and under the leadership of Zhang Pre, they galloped all the way west towards Anyang Pavilion. The place I went to this time was not the Xihe Bridge, but the town that was seven or eight miles southwest of the Xihe Bridge. The town is located on the official road connecting Anyang Pavilion to the county seat, although the scale is only a little larger than the Xihe Bridge, but after all, it is a meeting place where people come and go every day.

There are more than 30 resident families in the town, most of which have their own fixed business. Compared with Xiheqiao, most of the business here is contracted by large families, and there are many kinds of products, and no matter what season comes, it can be a decent business. Of course, the price is higher than that of Xihe Bridge.

It was already late afternoon when Zu Zhao and his party came to the town, and the town was idle. Zhang Yu led the group to a small forest outside the northwest of the town, and before he got close to the woods, he could see twenty or thirty people gathering around a big tree on the periphery of the woods. These people are all ordinary people dressed up, or gather together in twos and threes to point and point, or stand alone in a high position and look around, or look around, as if they are watching the lively state.

As they approached, they passed over the good deeds who were talking about the periphery, but they saw four figures under the big tree on the outskirts of Shunlin, three of whom were actually tied with ropes and hung from the branches, and the other was sitting on the ground at the root of the tree, holding a water bladder in his hand, and drinking water slowly.

"Look, there's someone." An exclamation suddenly came from among the onlookers.

Soon, everyone turned their heads to look behind them. When Zu Zhao and his party slowed down their pace, and the mount approached little by little with broken hooves, the crowd suddenly panicked, and people saw that it was menacing at a glance, for fear of causing trouble, and hurriedly retreated. Some of the more timid people even stopped staying here, and left on their own with a flat shoulder or chatter.

Under the tree, the man sitting on the root side of the tree was still unfazed, and continued to drink his water as if nothing had happened, hardly looking at the men who came on horseback.
