"Yun Sheng, when I heard what you said earlier, I was a little dissatisfied. Now it seems that Zhu Yuanhao is really lucky. He not only knows military strategy, but also knows how to visit talented people." Bai Susu whispered as she walked out of the tea stall. When Zhu Yuanhao was drinking tea opposite, she also quietly used her spiritual consciousness to detect the opponent's luck. Although his luck was only red and green, his appearance was quite extraordinary. Bai Susu doesn't know the art of physiognomy, but after reaching a certain level of cultivation, she can naturally tell something. There is an indescribable charm about this man's eyebrows as sharp as a sword, and the way he raises his hands and feet. Several subordinates sitting beside him were like stars holding the moon, which reflected Zhu Yuanhao's confidence and momentum. "Well, we won't go to the county seat. Let's follow him and have a look." Chang Jin also wanted to see what step Zhu Yuanhao could take and whether he could endure the difficulties made by the "sages". You must know that wise men are not so easy to recruit. Although Zhu Yuanhao initially gained fame, the world only praised him for his bravery. In the eyes of many scholars, I am afraid that he is still just a despicable martial artist who cannot stand on the stage. Zhu Yuanhao and others galloped forward on fast horses, and soon got off the official road at one place. With Chang Jin¡¯s level, it is not difficult to hide their tracks and follow them. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just locked it with my spiritual consciousness and didn't get close. When they encountered people, they slowed down their pace early. Therefore, he did not attract the attention of others along the way. There were green wheat seedlings in the fields and the sound of birds chirping. After walking for more than five miles, a small river appeared in the distance. Weeping willows were planted in front of the river, and a manor was looming among the greenery. Zhu Yuanhao led several of his men on horseback before they arrived at the gate of the manor. He was discovered by the man on duty and immediately reported back to the manor. When they approached, an old man who looked like a housekeeper came forward and asked, "Senior men, do you know why you came to my Majia Village?" Zhu Yuanhao handed the horse's reins to the soldiers, then saluted respectfully and said, "I It was Zhu Yuanhao, the general under the command of Liang Hou, who was temporarily stationed in Qutang County. Hearing that the young master of Guizhuang had a good reputation, he came to see him. " "Are you General Zhu Yuanhao?" The steward obviously knew Zhu Yuanhao's name. His face immediately became respectful: "General Zhu, please come in and have a rest quickly. My young master is meeting friends with Mr. Xu in the backyard. I will go and report it now." Zhu Yuanhao was not rash, but said to the people behind him: "The third child , you and the others wait here, I will take Xiaoliuzi in, remember not to cause trouble." But at this moment, in a pavilion in the backyard of Ma's house, three young people were sitting on a stone bench and sipping tea. The leader was about twenty years old, wearing a square scarf, with delicate features, big sleeves and fluttering sleeves, and was very elegant. He is Ma Zhiyuan, the young owner of Majia Manor. There are two people next to him who are also wearing Confucian shirts and have calm demeanor. They are Ma Zhiyuan's classmates and friends Dong Mingchuan and Xu Minzhi. Farther away, a woman held a pipa in her arms, playing and singing softly. The sound of the pipa is clear and crisp, and the female voice is sweet. When the two sounds are superimposed together, it is like a clear spring in a deep valley, making people feel comfortable all over. The song ended. After a long time, the young man sitting at the bottom closed the folding fan and said, "Brother Ma is a great poet. This time you win again. You are worthy of being the first among my four heroes." "Mingchuan praised me, what? The leader of the four heroes of Xiajiang is just a casual comment by everyone." Ma Zhiyuan said modestly, and then praised him, "On the contrary, Mingchuan just said this sentence: "The journey is beyond the green mountains, and the boat is in front of the green water." It is only a few sentences, but it is difficult to read. "It's an endless aftertaste." "I would say that the poems written by both of you this time are excellent. If these two poems were published in peacetime, they would be famous all over the world and become a good story." Xu Minzhi poured his glass. Qingcha said. The remaining two people were somewhat silent when they heard this. Now that the world is in chaos and the imperial examination has been suspended, even though they are full of knowledge, they can only temporarily hide in the villa and admire themselves. "I wonder what Brother Ma has planned in the future?" At this time, Xu Minzhi asked again. "The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. Now that chaos has emerged, we naturally have to wait for the opportunity and choose a wise leader to serve, so that we can live up to what we have learned in our lives." Ma Zhiyuan put down his tea cup and answered. While speaking, he couldn't help but remember that he happened to meet a wandering Taoist priest in Xiajiang Prefecture a few years ago, and he took the initiative to tell his fortune. Ma Zhiyuan initially thought he was a liar, but the other party declared that he was not sure and did not want any money. This made him curious, so he stood on the roadside and let the other person look at his face. After seeing it, the Taoist priest said that he would definitely be able to win the title of government examination case this time, and that he would meet the Ming Master in the future, which would be extremely valuable. Ma Zhiyuan didn¡¯t believe it at first, so he just said a few auspicious words to the other party and then sent the passerby away with a piece of silver. Unexpectedly, when the results of the government examination came out, he actually took the title of the government examination case. Afterwards, I looked for the Taoist, but he had disappeared. But for some reason, what the Taoist priest said that day seemed to have a certain meaning.?Power always lingers in my mind. "Can the Marquis of Liang be regarded as the master of the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Minzhi asked again. "Although Marquis Liang is a man of great talent, he only listens and believes, so he can't be called a wise master." Ma Zhiyuan shook his head repeatedly. "I once heard people say that Guo ****, the legitimate son of the Guo family, was well-read and intelligent since he was a child. Even the prefect of Dongchuan Prefecture praised him as a pillar of talent. Last year, there were also thieves in Dongchuan Prefecture, and Guo ** ** He stepped forward when he was in danger, organized 7,000 private troops to defend against the enemy, and won all three battles. I wonder if he can be called the Lord of the Ming Dynasty? " Just as Ma Zhiyuan was about to answer, he saw his housekeeper running in, shouting repeatedly: "Sir, we have guests coming to our door!" "Didn't I already tell you that when I gather with a few friends today, I won't accept outsiders?" Ma Zhiyuan frowned. "Sir, this person is extraordinary. He is Zhu Yuanhao, the guard general who killed the thief Zhao Dahu on New Year's Eve. He is waiting outside the door to see him." The housekeeper replied in a calm tone. "Zhu Yuanhao, what is he doing here?" Dong Mingchuan had a puzzled look on his face. The three of them had heard about Zhu Yuanhao's deeds, but they didn't take it to heart. He was just a martial artist. "The young man really doesn't know. Why don't you invite him in and ask?" the housekeeper replied hurriedly. "That's fine." Ma Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. The Ma family is a scholarly family, and someone in their ancestors once served as a magistrate. Even now, there are people in the family who are serving as officials in the capital. "In peacetime, it is absolutely impossible for a warrior to visit you. It's just that things are different now. Zhu Yuanhao once led troops to recapture Qutang County. Ma Zhiyuan decided to give him face and meet him to see what he was up to. When the housekeeper left, he turned to his two friends and said: "Today there are ordinary people coming to the door, we can only leave it at this." Chang Jin and Bai Susu initially followed Zhu Yuanhao and others, but after they knew each other's destination, the two People naturally arrive first. There was no need to enter the manor at all, but he found a shade to sit under a tree, released his spiritual consciousness, and heard all the conversations in the manor. Hearing Ma Zhiyuan call Zhu Yuanhao a common man, Chang Jin couldn't help but smile, "When I heard this man commenting on the general situation of the world and the Marquis of Liang before, I thought he had some insight. Now it seems that most of them are boastful people, and they talk easily without even seeing anyone. To come to a conclusion, he really has the reputation of being one of the four handsome men of Jiang Mansion." He said this, and he understood it in his heart. Although the immortals and gods in this world are manifested as saints, the people who control the government are still Confucian scholars. They were in awe of immortals and gods, but naturally they would not take a fancy to soldiers whose status was not as good as their own. But they don¡¯t know that in troubled times, sergeants have far more say than literati. Just as I was thinking about it, Zhu Yuanhao and the other two people had followed the housekeeper to the backyard. "Are you the guard general who killed the traitor Zhao Dahu a month ago?" Ma Zhiyuan asked with a calm expression when he saw the housekeeper leading the burly man. "It's me." Zhu Yuanhao took a step forward and clasped his fists and said, "I have met the three young masters." Although the butler next to him winked repeatedly, Ma Zhiyuan had no intention of inviting him to sit down, and asked again, "Mou Ma has no connection with the military. I wonder what Zhu Wei will do here in the future? " "Zhu gained the Lord's trust and was appointed as a guard general, with more than 500 troops under his command. However, Zhu is not talented enough to take on this important task, especially in military and civil affairs. He knows nothing about it. I heard from his subordinates recently that the three young masters are all great talents in Qutang County. Zhu Yuanhao came to ask for help from the three young masters. " When Zhu Yuanhao came in, he had already heard the housekeeper explain in detail the situation of his young masters' reception. The three of them were the scribes they wanted to invite, so they spoke in an extremely sincere tone. With the movement of the top of the head, the invisible ripples of the silk were attached to the discourse. "You invite the three of us to serve in the army?" Xu Minzhi asked a little funny after hearing this. "Exactly, I wonder if the three young masters are willing to lend a helping hand to Zhu?" Zhu Yuanhao has been living on the dock since he was a child, and his observation of words and emotions is also the most basic. From the way several people treated him when he entered the door, he knew that there was little hope today, but he still wanted to persevere. "I'm sorry, General Zhu Wei, Ma will be getting married soon and I really can't get away," Ma Zhiyuan refused with a hint of contempt in his eyes. "I've been feeling cold these days, and I'm not feeling well. I'm not qualified to do military and civil affairs. General Zhu Wei will ask someone else to do it." Hearing that the three of them each found reasons to refuse, Zhu Yuanhao, although he was angry, still winked. Make the little six behind you go crazy. Then he cupped his fists and said, "Zhu is delusional. Since the three young masters have deigned to go not far away, Zhu will leave now." Seeing the other party leave, Ma Zhiyuan picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank it in one gulp: "A despicable warrior, I also want to learn how to recruit talents and recruit people, but I really overestimate my capabilities.¡± Several sergeants outside the door were a little surprised when they saw Zhu Yuanhao and his two men coming back within less than a stick of incense, and hurriedly gathered around to ask. Before Zhu Yuanhao could speak, Xiao Liuzi behind him had already said angrily: "Those three people didn't take Commander Wei seriously at all. One said he was getting married soon and could not travel far; one said he had caught a cold and felt unwell and was not qualified; and the other said He said he was not proficient in military affairs" "That's unreasonable. If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty." Hearing this, Zhou Laosan immediately couldn't hold it in anymore, "Brother, these bird-students are bullying people too much. Why don't you let me in and kill them?" "Take him back to the military camp!" "Come back and don't mess around," Zhu Yuanhao said sternly. This humiliation is bearable for him. He will still need to deal with scribes in the future. These scholars all belong to the same circle. If you offend them, your reputation will spread, and no one will be willing to defect to you.
