Chapter 149 The Eight Dragons of the Xun Family
Chapter 149 The Eight Dragons of the Xun Family
After Huangfu Jian conquered Gan Ning, his trip to the southeast was a perfect merit and had achieved the expected goal. That night, Huangfu Jian and others lived on Jiangxin Island and gave all the property on the ship to the Eight Hundred Jinfan Thieves.
Although the Eight Hundred Jinfan Thiefs have become thieves and have done many bad things, they also admire the chivalrous ways in the world. Everyone has a dream of being a hero. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you will be more likely to hear the rumors about the heroic things.
I have long heard of the name of the "Military God" Huangfu Jian, and even regarded Huangfu Jian as a god-demon-like figure and admired him very much.
Now that this idol-level figure appears by their side, can the thieves be unhappy? They are all excited and can't even sleep at night. After hearing that Jinfan thieves surrendered to the Western Army, their necks were raised high and their faces were proud.
Now they are also considered famous soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, although they still have to act as the Jinfan thief.
The next morning, Huangfu Jian set out to return to Nanyang. After all, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not far away, so there was not much time left for him. After the ship arrived in Nanyang, Huangfu Jian instructed Gan Ning again and finally left the luxurious ship to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning, who likes to show off and loves sexy bags, is of course overjoyed and ecstatic!
Then everyone bid farewell.
Huangfu Jian said goodbye to everyone and took the Eighteen Dragons to whip at Yingchuan. His goal for this stop was the famous Yingchuan Academy, the academic resort of the Han Dynasty, and the cradle of strategists.
In early spring, the grass sprouts tender buds. It is when the peach blossoms are red and the apricot blossoms are white. The Central Plains are full of vitality and peaceful. People who have just passed the Spring Festival have already begun to be busy, and simple old farmers can be seen everywhere in the wheat fields.
In this situation, who would have thought that a wave of storms was gathering and a chaotic storm was about to break out!
On the evening of the next day, Huangfu Jian and his party arrived at Yangdi City, the capital of Yingchuan County, which was surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers.
Zhaiyang under the sunset, the city is high and the walls are solid, and the mottled city gates exudes the distant atmosphere of the ancient city, witnessing its long and long history. The city is filled with people, all kinds of goods are available, and merchants are coming and going. The shouts and the sounds of buying and selling are endless, and the prosperity is extremely prosperous. It is a famous place for the Shangfu in the Han Dynasty.
Huangfu Jian and the Eighteen Dragon Riders were mixed in the crowd and moved slowly with the flow of people.
Looking at the bustling Yangdi City in front of him, he thought that this would soon be destroyed by the war. Huangfu Jian felt a lot of emotion and strengthened his determination to end the troubled times as soon as possible and to restore the people to a peaceful world.
"Long Yi asks, how to get to the Xun Family Courtyard. We will spend the night in the Xun Family Courtyard tonight." After walking through the crowd for a while, but not to reach the end, Huangfu Jian had to give orders to Long Yi beside him.
"No!" Long Yi agreed and asked the pedestrians beside him about the way.
The people of Yingchuan are simple, well-educated, polite, and hospitality. The Xun family is also a wealthy family in Yingchuan. You can tell at a time that you are asked. More kind passers-by are willing to serve as guides for them for free.
Between the green mountains and clear waters and peach forests, Huangfu Jian and his party came to a giant manor.
This manor is large in scale, with buildings arranged in an orderly manner, with curved corridors connected, and small bridges and flowing water intersecting, and there is no end at a glance. Outside is a high wall, and a huge plaque is hung on the gate, with a few gold-plated characters "Xunfu, Yingchuan".
As soon as Huangfu Jian and his party arrived at the gate of the Xun Family Courtyard, a servant in a civilian came out of the courtyard. The servant saw the three men standing in front of him, handsome men and beautiful women, dressed brightly. The sixteen strong men standing behind him had a cold expression and were free from laughing.
The servant in Xun's mansion was very knowledgeable. He knew at a glance that the visitor was not an ordinary person, so he did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and asked, "I wonder what the officials are doing when they come to our house? If you need any help from villains, just give me instructions."
When Huangfu Jian saw that the servants in the Xun Mansion were all polite, he thought that the old Xun family was indeed a descendant of Xunzi and a scholarly family. He said lightly: "This is a reply from someone. Please give it to the owner of the manor."
The servant took the reply and said, "Please wait, please inform the owner of the house." After that, he turned around and walked towards the house.
Not long after, a sound of footsteps came from Xun's mansion, and then the door of the mansion opened and opened to welcome guests.
Walking in front of the head was an elegant old man with a long robe and a long Confucian uniform, wearing a Confucian scarf, gray hair and long beards. Behind the old man, there were several elderly people with similar dress and age. They were all elegant in their manners and every move, and the scholars were full of energy.
Huangfu Jian saw these old men going out to greet them, and they were very polite. Needless to think about it, they knew they were members of the Eight Dragons of the Xun family. They didn't dare to be negligent. They quickly walked to greet them, bowed slightly, and said, "I was born in Huangfu Jian to pay homage to all the elders."
"I don't know that the general is coming, and I have missed the opportunity to welcome him. I hope the general will forgive me." The old man in front of him smiled and bowed slightly, saying.
This old man is the head of the Xun family and the dean of Yingchuan Academy. Xun Jing, whose courtesy name is Shuci, and his pseudonym is Mr. Xuanxing, and the third eight dragons of the Xun family. Xun Shuang, Xun Ciming, and Xun Ciming are the two most outstanding talents among the Xun family’s eight dragons.
The few behind the old man were the four dragons Xun Tao, the five dragons Xun Wang, and the seven dragons Xun Su, all of whom were wise men who were famous in the countryside.
After everyone was greeted, Xun Jing ordered his servants to bring Huangfu Jian and others' war horses into the courtyard and welcome Huangfu Jian and his party into the mansion.
In the spacious living room of the Xun family courtyard, Huangfu Jian only brought Long Jiu and Long Shiba. In addition to Xun Jing, the other three dragons also accompanied him one by one.
Everyone sat down with the guest and the host, and then Huangfu Jian bowed slightly to Xun Jing to explain his purpose.
"I came here this time, but there was something to bother Xun Gong. The army of Zhenxi was ordered by the emperor to stay in Yongliang. There were many military generals under his command, but there were serious shortage of civil officials. The talented people of Yingchuan Academy were prepared, and I was troubled by Xun Gong. I would like to help me. I recommend some wise and capable people to take office in Chang'an, which can be regarded as recruiting talents for the country and benefiting the country."
Huangfu Jian's behavior was in a normal manner, modest, respectful, and polite manner. He did not look like a warrior at all, but more like a well-educated man. He was also a big hat for selecting talents for the country, which made all the Xun family dragons very fond.
After hearing this, Xun Jing had a brief conversation with several other elders, and then said: "The general is a great move for the country. However, Yingchuan College has learned a lot. I don't know what kind of talents the general needs. It's better to be admitted to the hospital for selection tomorrow."
"It's so good! But this general came to the sub-dress this time and did not want to reveal his identity. He also asked Mr. Xun to cover up one or two." Huangfu Jian thought it was okay, so he nodded and said.
"It's no problem." Although Xun Jing didn't know why the young general Zhenxi didn't want to reveal his identity, he still agreed happily. After all, Xun You, the nephew of the Xun family, was already under the rule of the General Zhenxi Mansion, and the Xun family had no relationship with the army.
"I have a heartless request. The land in Guanzhong is vast and rich in resources, but there is no formal college. The eight dragons of the Xun family are all knowledgeable and well-educated. I wonder if they can build a college in Chang'an to solve the desire of poor scholars in Guanzhong to study. Of course, all the costs of running schools are paid by this general, and Xun Gong only needs to teach on the name." After Huangfu Jian said that, he looked at Xun Jing and Master Xun with anticipation.
"The general has done his best, and I admire him. But this matter is very important, so I will allow me to think about it again and again before making a decision." Xun Jing pondered for a moment and then said.
Huangfu Jian's move was a great thing for both the Xun family and the Zhenxi Army. Mr. Xun Jing and Xun were indeed a little moved by such fame and fortune.
