The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

The sky is not yet bright, and the ancestral village has ushered in a big move.

Zu Ji and Zu Zhan followed Zu Zhao's instructions in the early hours of the morning and left early. Just after the early morning, a few more children rushed into the city to report the matter to the county government in a hurry to open the city gate. In the backyard of Zujiazhuang, along with the huge horse farm, many blades and armor stored in the early years were carried out of the warehouse one by one and placed on shelves or on the ground covered with cloth mats to dry off the mold dust. After all, I hid it for a while, and the last time I used it was last year to prepare for theft in winter. Although every year the Ancestor of the Thieves will participate in full armament, the number of armor actually put into use is not large, and many more are still hidden in the dark.

The movement of the village soon reached the ears of Zu Ju and everyone in the West Courtyard. When Zu Zhao came to his grandfather's room to report what happened at night, Chun Yupei led Gongsun Long, Gongsun Ban and several other young men to visit. The people of the Gongsun family were instructed by Gongsun Zhi, so they came here in the hope of helping some. For Gongsun Zhi's enthusiasm, Zu Zhao couldn't help but think of the content of the last tea conversation with him, and always felt that Gongsun had a hidden purpose.

Marriage is marriage, this is a matter of common interest between the two families. Although the enthusiasm shown by both parties can enhance each other's feelings, but the horse robbery is purely a private matter of the ancestral family, the ancestral family not only has to maintain the majesty of the family, but also to earn face in front of the Gongsun family, the Gongsun family helps at this time, isn't it too ambiguous?

The reason why Zu Zhao felt that this matter was very strange was because he thought that with Gongsun Zhi's scheming, it was impossible not to see through the meaning that the Zu family did not want the Gongsun family to interfere, and even hinted that it was inconvenient to entertain guests at the moment just two days ago, and Gongsun Zhi also promised to leave as soon as possible.

Zu Ju didn't care too much about the "kindness" of Chun Yupei and others, such a big thing suddenly happened in the early hours of the morning, and his energy was indispensable to focus on this matter at this time. After listening to Zu Zhao's description, he immediately ordered someone to go to the county government and ask Chen Xianjun and others to come quickly.

"Ah Gong, Grandpa has already sent someone into the city earlier." Zu Zhao said unhurriedly.

"It's not a trivial matter. If you know the whereabouts of the thieves, you will surely catch them all. Zu Ju said majestically.

"Now we only know a general location, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to search for the specific whereabouts of the thieves." Zu Zhao said with further hints.

"In any case, this time I will ask Chen County Jun to ask the county government to dispatch officials and troops to assist in encircling and suppressing the thieves." Zu Ju said in a righteous voice.

"Ah Gong, if you ask the county government to give an order, I am afraid that it will take several days to go back and forth, and if the thieves notice it at that time, won't it fall short? According to the grandson's opinion, the children of Benzhuang will be summoned in the past two days, and the grandson will also invite the Zhang brothers of Anyang Pavilion to help and cooperate with the people of the county, which is enough to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the thieves and attack them. Zu Zhao suggested in a calm tone.

Zu Ju's face changed slightly, he didn't expect his grandson to be so bold. Audacity may not be the same as trusting the great, but in this matter, if it is only within this county, there is still room for control with the influence of the ancestral family. Once the county crosses the border and makes a big disturbance, it will inevitably be suspicious. Although the ancestral family has the ability to dominate one side, it cannot but understand the truth of "fit and stop". Even if there is a reason and evidence this time, there will be no major disaster, but in the end, it will give people the handle and leave hidden dangers for the future.

"The thieves are hiding in a neighboring county, how can this matter be reckless. Wait until Chen Xianjun arrives, and then think about it in the long run.

Zu Zhao had expected that his grandfather would not agree easily, so he didn't say anything more. After arriving at the county government, he will naturally elaborate on the reason, and with the temper of the county lieutenant and the opinions of Zu Fan, he will definitely agree with the statement that the soldiers are fast. Crossing the line was indeed quite tricky, but since he had been able to take this into account earlier, it was only natural that there would be a solution. From the perspective of the ancestral family alone, it is not difficult to solve this problem at all, as long as there are people from the county government who follow them, then it can be determined that this is an official action.

In previous years, it was not without similar situations that the thieves were prepared, and when the neighboring counties were besieged by the powerful bandits, the county would also dispatch the thieves to rush to help. As long as the round-up of horse thieves can be involved in this year's preparation for thieves, everything can be logical.

While waiting for news from the county town, the servants of Zuzhao's residence suddenly came to the side hall of the middle hall and probed their brains outside the threshold of the side hall.

After being reminded by his uncle Zu Ling, Zu Zhao told the hall that he was not, and came to meet the servants outside the door of the side hall: "Ah Shi, is there something wrong with me?"

Ah Shi looked at the hall a little nervously, showing a little hesitation, and subconsciously retreated and dodged to the wall. Zu Zhao was slightly puzzled, and also took two steps along. At this time, Ah Shi said: "The eldest prince, that, that orchid wants to see you."

Zu Zhao sighed slightly, he was so busy these days that he forgot about this Huren girl. He could even roughly guess the other party's purpose for looking for him at this time, nine times out of ten, it was to urge himself to rescue his companion. Speaking of which, two or three days have passed, and even if he is willing to help now, I am afraid that the possibility of finding those Hu people again will not be too high.

"Got it, I'll go over here."

Zu Zhao didn't go back to the hall again, anyway, everyone in the hall was drinking tea in a muffled voice, waiting for the arrival of Chen Xianjun and Wen Xianwei. followed Ah Shi to the inner courtyard, and Ah Shi did not take him to the inner courtyard wing, but directly to the porch outside his residence. Looking from afar, I saw a slender figure standing on the porch.

Gulinar is wearing a Hanfu, and the mood of the Central Plains and the Western Regions is perfectly blended, showing a different kind of beauty. Her long, slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and her blue starry eyes revealed many endless stories. Maybe she had been waiting for a long time, she was a little bored, and at this moment she was staring at the pillars of the porch, counting the patterns on them, and her fingers followed the patterns slightly, showing her innocence and innocence in an instant.

For a moment, Zu Zhao even felt a little heartbeat, he had the impression that Gu Linar was a bold and spicy girl, with the typical rough temperament of the people of the Western Regions, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a quiet and elegant side.

When Gulinar heard the footsteps, she hurriedly hid her hands behind her back and looked at Zu Zhao who came with some restraint.

"You're looking for me?" Coming to Gulinar and standing still, Zu Zhao asked directly.

"Hmm." Gulinar nodded quickly, but didn't know what to say then.

"Do you want to ask me when I can save your friend?" Zu Zhao didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point.

Gulinaar was slightly stunned, first slowly shook her head, and then nodded quickly.

"Yes or no." Zu Zhao was a little funny, when did this girl become so stupid.

"I, originally, was going to ask you something else first. I heard Ah Shi and them say, if something happens to your family, you may have to catch a thief, which is very dangerous. I can help you, I can use a knife, and I can ride a horse. Gulinar said with a strong accent, and when she said the last sentence, she deliberately accentuated her tone.

"You can ride a horse?" Zu Zhao asked with an indifferent smile, and glanced at the other party's legs again.

"You, what do you see." Gulinar asked with a tense face.

"I know by looking at your legs that you don't ride a horse very often. Even if you know how to horse, it's just a surface. It's enough to choke on the road in normal times, let alone get on the horse and kill the enemy. Well, I appreciate your kindness. Zu Zhao said in a polite tone.

"No, no," Gulinar said quickly, "you helped me, so I'm going to help you." This is the rule of your Han people, etiquette, and exchanges. That way, I don't owe you anything. As for you helping me save my companions, that's another matter, and I will definitely repay you anyway.

Zu Zhao was amused by Gulinaer's explanation, and at the same time a little moved. I didn't expect a foreign girl to have such a straightforward and honest mind, but it made the scheming Han people ashamed. There was a sincere smile on his lips, but it was a flash in the pan and soon disappeared. Although he had made a promise to Gulinar, he had no time to take care of it at the moment, and as he thought earlier, even if he concentrated on helping Gulinar at this time, he was afraid that nothing would come of it, and those Hu people would either be killed or sold to the unknown.

"Now that you know that there was an accident in my home, you should also understand something."

"What... What is the truth? Gulinar looked at Zu Zhao and asked.

"I really don't have the extra heart to help you save your companions now, at most I can send someone to inquire about their whereabouts, and if the situation allows, I will help you." Zu Zhao said directly in a showdown.

"But, but you promised me—" Gulnar was flustered, and at the same time a little angry.

"I promised to do my best, and I never gave you any promises. I also hope that you can be calm about this matter, some things have passed and it is difficult to go back. Zu Zhao said on a matter-by-case basis.

"It turns out ... So you lied to me..."Gulinar's long eyelashes flashed with tears, she stared at Zu Zhao fiercely, her two little hands clenched tightly into small fists.

Zu Zhao sighed: Is it a regional cultural difference? This Hu Niang is so unreasonable?

"I will send someone to inquire about their whereabouts, and you can continue to stay in the village to rest and wait for news. However, if you want to leave, I will not stop you, provided that you tell me in advance so that I can arrange for you to go. Zu Zhao said patiently and rationally.

Gulinar didn't speak again, she bit her lip, her delicate body trembling, tears streaming down her big eyes, but she struggled to keep it from pouring out.

Zu Zhao was calm and waited for Hu Niang's further reaction, but after waiting for a long time, the other party just didn't say anything.

"Ashi, send her back to the house." He gave a command, then turned and left.
