The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

This meeting is actually a greeting to the Zhang brothers. Obviously, the Zhang family attaches great importance to this matter, otherwise they would not let Zhang Qi come with them. Zu Zhao's purpose is to give the Zhang brothers a pre-concept, that is, they will take advantage of this theft to make a big move. As for what the action is, and what the benefits are, there is no need to make it too clear to them now.

After returning from Anyang Pavilion, Beiguo Pavilion was already in full swing from morning to night.

Neighbors run to each other, obeying the call of the patriarch to gather the surplus iron tools and money of their families. The whole big family of the ancestral family is still very united in Xu Wuxian, mainly because Zu Zhao suggested to his grandfather when he was a child, and the annual surplus of the ancestral caravan is distributed to every household according to the generation and number of people, which can not only unite people's hearts and make the whole family grateful to Dade, but also make the whole family make progress together, and can appear more family-style externally, and protect people's hearts internally.

Therefore, whenever there is any major event in the family, it is necessary for each family to contribute, and only the patriarch speaks, and each family will respond and participate as much as possible no matter what. This unwritten rule has been in place for several years, and although there have not been many incidents during this period that require the support of all family members, there are still a few precedents, so it has become a tradition. It was Zu Zhao's childhood proposal that made the elders in the family impress him, and more and more established his unshakable position as the eldest son in the family.

Zu Zhao didn't tell the elders in the family before going to Anyang Pavilion, so after returning to Zujiazhuang, he didn't rush to report to anyone. Instead, he walked around the backyard, inspected the stables and storeroom, and then went to meet with a few craftsmen who had just been recruited today. Although it has only been a day since the announcement was issued, and the news of Zujiazhuang's recruitment of craftsmen has just been sent out, with the statement of the ancestral family and the precursors of the unrest in the county, there are still many craftsmen who have just heard about the fur and rushed to it immediately, for fear that they will miss this good errand if they are late.

Most of the craftsmen who have come to Zujiazhuang today are familiar people, workers from nearby towns and suburbs. In the past, in and out, coming and going, there was a nod to greet the friendship, and there were only a handful of famous craftsmen in ten miles and eight towns. In this era, doing such physical work is still a job that cannot be used in the face of a façade.

A small partial courtyard in the backyard of Zujiazhuang was also the workshop of Zujiazhuang before, and many utensils, stoves and so on were placed here. It's just that it has not been used for many years, and it has long been covered with a layer of dust. Zu Zhao came to the small side courtyard, only glanced at the craftsmen of the village and the craftsmen recruited, and worked together to take care of the small side courtyard up and down, the stove was on fire, all the utensils were polished and shiny, and everything else was handled in an orderly manner. Immediately, he already knew in his heart, and he didn't need to think about checking the craftsmanship or anything at all.

Coming out of the backyard, it was already dark.

Zu Zhao was about to go back to his residence for dinner, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard gate of the inner courtyard, he suddenly saw a white figure behind the corridor pillars not far away, and subconsciously glanced at it, but saw that it was the bearded girl Gulinar earlier. Hu Nu turned her back to the courtyard gate, stood at the edge of the corridor, and looked at a small pond outside the corridor, feeling a little stupid.

At this time, he had a little thought, he went to the county government for more than 20 days, and because of the sudden change in the county government, even if he returned to Xu Wu now, he was busy preparing for theft all day long, which really left this orchid behind. He also felt a little strange in his heart, earlier Orchid still seemed to complain that he had not been able to rescue her companion, and it was reasonable that the other party should have left by himself during the time he went to the county capital.

Naturally, he had no intention of driving people away, no matter what kind of estrangement the Hu people and Han people had, they would be compatriots in later generations. What's more, with Gulinar's current situation, I am afraid that there is nowhere to go if I want to go, and once I lose the protection of my ancestral village, I will fall into a more difficult predicament. After all, a lonely bearded girl walks in the Han realm, not to mention that she is quite beautiful, what the result will be, you can imagine.

After hesitating in front of the courtyard gate for a while, Zu Zhao still walked over.

Before she could get closer, Gulinar had already heard footsteps, and she turned her head cautiously to take a look, and the vigilance on her face only subsided a little after she found that it was Zu Zhao. But for some reason, she still subconsciously took half a step back, and hurriedly turned her head away, no longer looking at Zu Zhao.

"How are you?" Zu Zhao was aware of Gu Linar's subtle movements, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and after coming to him, he asked calmly.

"Hmm—" Gulinar said like a gnat, her head still bowed, and a touch of moonlight reflected through the small pond on her bronzed cheeks, outlining a sharp and beautiful outline. She was dressed in a white hanfu, her slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and her neck and chest were exposed.

"All I can say is sorry about the promise I made to you. You should have seen that a lot of things have happened recently, and even though I have been to Lingzhi County, I don't have the spare time to help inquire about their whereabouts. It's been a long time, but I'm afraid, even if I have to look for it now, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Zu Zhao said calmly.

"I know—" Gulinar's voice was still so low.

"Anyway, you can continue to stay here and I hope you can stay. It's chaotic outside, and if you leave alone, I'm afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience and even danger. Zu Zhao said sincerely.

"You... You want me to stay... Stay? Gulinar raised her head and looked at Zu Zhao with blue eyes like jewels, as if there was some doubt written in her eyes, but soon a little gratitude appeared.

"Yes. Since I rescued you back in the first place, I naturally can't help but take care of you. Zu Zhao said very formally.

"Take care of... I..."

"Hehe, maybe your customs are not the same as ours. Or to put it this way, we Han people must have a gentlemanly demeanor. You'll learn later. Zu Zhao said with a smile.

"I don't want to live with you in vain, I can do you some favors as a reward." Hu Ji suddenly became serious, and her trance-like gaze looked at Zu Zhao unwaveringly.

"Huh, really? So, how can you help me? Zu Zhao asked with a smile.

"I heard that you, the ancestral family is recruiting more warriors, it seems that it is to defend against the thieves, this, I will definitely be able to help. I don't know how to ride a horse, but I can use a knife and a scimitar, and I can help you kill the thieves. Gulinar was a little excited, she raised her two small pink fists slightly, and put on a posture of eagerness.

"Okay," Zu Zhao thought for a while, he had seen Gu Linar's sword technique, and he also knew that this was not the first time that the other party had proposed such a request after all, maybe Hu Ren's idea was like this, if he really let him eat and live for nothing, he would not be at peace in his heart. So, he nodded in agreement, "In that case, you will be counted as a share when the time comes." Whatever happens, though, you have to stay with me so I can rest assured.

"Okay, I'll stay with you!" Gulinar was very happy to see that Zu Zhao agreed to his request, so he didn't pay too much attention to the proviso proposed by Zu Zhao.

"I'll take my leave. It's cold, you don't have much to wear, go back to the house early. Zu Zhao said with a smile. With that, he turned and left.

When Zu Zhao walked away, Gulinar looked at his Beijing, with a resolute expression on her pretty face, and muttered in a low voice: "I will stay by your side and protect you." The last three words are so weak, but they are also so tenacious.
