The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

After drinking, Zu Zhao planned to give a sum of money as Han Dang's medical expenses, but Han Dang insisted on refusing to accept it.

Speaking of which, even Zhang Yuan and the other two rangers, who were beaten up, were all alive and well after drinking, how bad could Han Dang's injuries be? So Zu Zhao didn't force it, but once again told Han Dang very sincerely that if he needed any help in the future, he just went to Beiguo Pavilion to find himself.

Not only that, but the two brothers Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu were also very enthusiastic, patting their chests and promising to come to them if they had any trouble in Anyang Pavilion.

Han Dang thanked them one by one without any further words.

After saying goodbye to Han Dang, Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan's brothers walked together in the direction of Xihe Bridge. Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu are still talking about Han Dang, although they have just experienced a brawl, but one yard is one yard, and since they are fellow believers, they do not have so much hatred.

It was precisely because of the delay in Han Dang's incident that the drill at Xihe Bridge scheduled for this afternoon had to be cancelled. Zu Zhao asked the two brothers Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu to bring the words back, and let them recuperate for two days after they went back, and as for when to start practicing again, he would arrange for Zu Ji to go to inform them separately.

Regarding Zu Zhao's sudden leadership posture, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu didn't dare to say anything. On weekdays, everyone practiced at Xihe Bridge, but no one stood up to be the leader. And if it weren't for Zu Zhao to reconcile today, I'm afraid that this matter would not be so easy to solve, and not only that, but it would not turn enemies into friends and become friends with Han Dangzheng. Because of this, the two of them admired Zu Zhao very much from the bottom of their hearts, but they were young but had a young and old-fashioned style, and they were superior in terms of demeanor, character and even martial arts, and they couldn't accept it.

So, the Zhang brothers agreed to come down.

On the way back to Beiguo Pavilion after leaving Xihe Bridge, Zu Zhao didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Zu Ji was bored, hesitated for a while, and then rode a horse to Zu Zhao's side, and said with a slight complaint: "Eldest prince, I saw that you obviously wanted to get along with that Han Yigong, why did Han Yigong have a lot of money, but you refused to help him?"

Gongsun Long, who was riding a horse on the side, heard Zu Ji's words, and also came over, and he echoed: "Yes." Isn't the eldest prince having other considerations?

Zu Zhao remained silent, and said lightly: "I really appreciate Han Yigong's straightforward and bold personality, if he really needs my help, he will definitely take the initiative to come to me." Since he didn't open his mouth just now, it is naturally inconvenient for me to force it.

Zu Ji said puzzledly: "But, maybe Han Yigong thinks it's embarrassing?"

Gongsun Long nodded and said, "Yes, yes, if it were me, I would have taken the initiative to entangle myself silently."

Zu Zhao snorted lightly and said meaningfully: "The reason why I didn't do this is to take care of Han Yigong's face. In short, you don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own measure.

Zu Ji sighed and had no choice but to say no more. Although Gongsun Long was still puzzled, he still had a good impression of Zu Zhao's magnificent demeanor, and naturally believed that the other party had his own measure.

Back at Zujiazhuang, it was already evening.

Zu Zhao asked Gongsun Long to go to the west courtyard to rest first, and then drink and talk happily at the dinner. Gongsun Long was not very old after all, and he had drunk two times of wine in succession from noon to afternoon, and he felt that his alcohol was faintly attacking, so he didn't say anything, and under the guidance of a servant, he said goodbye to Zu Zhao and went to the direction of the West Courtyard.

Zu Ji and a few other children had just dismounted, and soon someone came to call the children of the concubines among them and hurried to help in the kitchen. Just as Zu Ji was about to go to the kitchen with those concubines, Uncle Hong, the housekeeper of the ancestral racecourse, happened to come out of the racecourse warehouse and stopped Zu Ji from afar.

"Ah Ji, go and count the goods in the Shiyuan warehouse a little later, and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Got it, Uncle Hong, don't you really want me to go to Lingzhi County with you?" Zu Ji responded.

"No need, there are enough people, you just need to count all the goods." Uncle Hong said while rubbing the grass residue on his hands.

"Okay, I'll go to the stone courtyard when I'm done in the evening." Zu Ji replied, turned around and left.

At this time, Zu Zhao set up his mount and walked towards Uncle Hong, who was returning to the racecourse warehouse.

When Uncle Hong saw Zu Zhao, he politely saluted the eldest prince: "The eldest prince is back?"

Zu Zhao bowed his head slightly and asked, "Uncle Hong, are you going to Lingzhi County tomorrow?"

Uncle Hong smiled and said: "Yes, the horse dealer over there in Lingzhi has just sold a batch of high-quality horses from Liaodong, and the old lady instructed us to go over and see if we can select a few high-quality stallions for breeding in the spring of next year." "

Zu Zhao knew that his grandfather would introduce a batch of new horses every winter, and now Zujia Horse Farm is almost the largest horse farm in Xu Wu County, and it is really easy to organize two or three hundred knights in wartime. He was not concerned about this matter at this time, and then said: "If this is the case, there is one thing that Uncle Yang Tuo Hong needs to help with."

Uncle Hong asked with interest: "The eldest prince has something to do, but he doesn't care about it, and he will do his best in the future."

Zu Zhao then said: "I want to ask Uncle Hong to inquire about the news of a person on his behalf, this person's name is Han Dang, the word Yigong, who has committed crimes in Lingzhi County before, it should not be difficult to inquire."

Uncle Hong raised his eyebrows and said strangely, "Oh? How could the eldest prince suddenly want to inquire about this person?

Zu Zhao didn't want to explain too much, but said briefly: "I just got acquainted with this person not long ago, and I happened to hear that this Han Yigong is a righteous man, and there seems to be a change in his family recently. If Uncle Hong can find out where his family is living and the family is in difficulty, I hope to be able to fund a sum of silver taels on his behalf, and I will make up for Uncle Hong when I come back.

Uncle Hong laughed and said: "The eldest prince attaches so much importance to love and righteousness, which is really gratifying." Please rest assured, the eldest prince will do his best to do such righteous things.

Zu Zhao followed with a smile: "Then there is Uncle Lao Hong."

After explaining, Zu Zhao first returned to his courtyard to take a rest.

Before he could do so, a servant came to inform him that the dinner was about to begin. Only then did Zu Zhao clean up a little, and went to the middle hall to help Zhang Luo first.

Before the official start of the dinner, Zu Ju, Gongsun Zhi and Chun Yupei and others came to the hall to drink tea and chat, but when Zu Zhao appeared outside the hall, Zu Ju immediately greeted him.

"Zhao'er, did you go to Anyang Pavilion in the afternoon?" Zu Ju asked in a nonchalistic tone.

Zu Zhao slowly walked into the hall, and did not rush to make a defense, but first bowed one by one. It was not difficult for him to guess that nine times out of ten, it was someone from the clan who went with him who passed the word, or Gongsun Long mentioned these things to Gongsun Zhi intentionally or unintentionally. Being on the Northland border, the elders of the family in this era will not be so strict with discipline.

"Hui Gong, this is indeed the case. Recently, the grandson made friends with the two brothers Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu in Anyang Pavilion, but the friend encountered difficulties, and the grandson had to go. But fortunately, in the end, the big thing can be turned into a small one. He replied simply and plainly.

"You are a child of a good family, and you shouldn't have too close contact with people like the Zhang family brothers. But the moral thing is a promise, and you are not doing well. Your grandfather and I are not pedantic people, and I will still believe in you when we should be enlightened. Recently, I heard that you and the Zhang brothers often meet to practice horses at Xihe Bridge, gather more than 100 people, and specially invite their own disciples to go together, which even the county monarch has heard about. Zu Ju continued, his demeanor and tone of voice were elusive.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the central hall changed slightly, and it seemed that everyone was staring at Zu Zhao with a scrutinizing gaze at this moment.

"To tell the truth, in previous years, my grandson was still young and could not participate in the preparation for theft at the end of each year. Now that the grandson has grown up, and he has both bow and horse martial arts, although he does not dare to call himself a good hand, he should also do his best to contribute to the family and the county and township. The grandson has been practicing with the Zhang brothers for more than ten days, hoping to prepare for this year's thieves in advance. The grandson also inquired earlier, although the Zhang brothers are known as rangers in the countryside on weekdays, they can do their best to prepare for thieves in previous years, and they are by no means ordinary market outlaws, so the grandson is willing to associate with the two of them. Zu Zhao said in a fifteen-10 manner, talking calmly, neither arrogant nor humble, showing a lot of determination.

After listening to his grandson's explanation, Zu Ju fell into a brief silence.

On the side, Gongsun Zhi and Chun Yupei gradually showed relief on their faces, and exchanged glances with each other.

"Hahaha," It didn't take long for Zu Ju to suddenly stroke his beard and laugh, his crisscrossed faces showed an extremely happy expression, he nodded at Zu Zhao, and said with a sigh, "It seems that Zhao'er, you have really grown up." Ah Gong I am very pleased, the ancestral family of three generations of generals, known as loyal and brave, even if Zhao'er you are the only descendant of my ancestral family, but Ah Gong I also hope that you can win a name of bravery, in vain my ancestral family of soldiers.

This remark won the hearts of all the guests of the Gongsun family present, and for many families, from the dignitaries to the dawn people, all of them would not regard the only descendant as a treasure. Nothing is more important than the continuation of the family incense. Zuju lost his son in the middle of the year, and the only grandson left, but he can have such an open-minded state of mind and support his grandson who has just entered the year of Zhixue, which is really rare.

Even if since the Han Dynasty, the official family has been heavy on literature and weak martial arts, but the Gongsun family and the ancestral family are both famous and wealthy families on the border of the Northland, and they will more or less be tainted with the local martial arts and aggressive Xi. Therefore, when Zu Ju said such a remark, all the guests understood and agreed.

"Good grandson, if you are going to steal my ancestral family this year, you will have a share of the manpower." Zu Ju said decisively.

That night, the atmosphere of the banquet was much more lively than that of noon. The guests of the Gongsun family were all happy, even if the son-in-law Gongsun Lingxian looked arrogant, but Gongsun Long still deliberately took a few cups with Zu Zhao, and he was very happy. Zu Juzi was very happy, and it is not difficult to see that the Gongsun family's impression of the ancestral family's hospitality and the eldest son of the ancestral family is excellent.
