Wen Pin left Jingzhou with that group of people. When they arrived near Nanyang, that group of people took Wen Pin to see the Nanyang garrison general Taishi Ci openly. At this moment, Wenpin understood that the person who saved him was Zhao Xin's subordinate.
Taishi Ci learned that those people were ordered by Guo Jia to rescue Wenpin in Jingzhou. Taishi Ci knew that Guo Jia's intention was probably his big brother's intention. From this, it could be seen that his big brother was very interested in Wenpin. Although he did not know how capable Wenpin was, Taishi Ci had personally experienced it over the years and knew how sharp his brother's eyes were. Just looking at Zhao Yun, Zhang-, Pang De, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao, who he had found in the earlier years, none of them were inferior to him. Hence, he entertained Wen Pin and those people very thoughtfully. Seeing that it was almost the new year, he arranged for someone to send some gifts to Zhao Xin and also bring some things for his mother. Arranging these people to go with Wen Pin and sending 500 soldiers to protect him, Wen Pin had to go even if he didn't want to.
Thinking back to when Zhao Xin released him and his subordinates without saying anything, Wenpin felt that he owed Zhao Xin a favor. It was not a bad choice to go to him. Moreover, he sent someone to save him this time. It was enough to show that Zhao Xin had taken a liking to him. After thinking it through, Wenpin felt much better and even put down the grievances he had suffered in Jingzhou. When he was in Nanyang, Wen Pin felt that Nanyang was stronger than Jingzhou. It could be seen that Zhao Xin had spent a lot of effort to govern Nanyang. When he arrived at Runan, Wen Pin found that he had underestimated Zhao Xin. Seeing that Runan was so prosperous, no city he had seen could compare with Runan. Wen Pin thought that Luoyang was probably like this in the past.
After those people had arranged the documents, they went to inform Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin was overjoyed. He thought to himself, Other than Huang Zhong, the other generals of the Jing State were all hired. Now that he had this person, his strength had increased by another level. Immediately, he said to Xun and the others beside him,"Let's go and welcome Wen Zhongye. "
Wen Pin thought that those people must have gone to report to Zhao Xin. It was the end of the year now, and Zhao Xin was probably very busy. He did not know when he would be able to see Zhao Xin. Just as they were guessing, they heard a commotion outside the posthouse.
After a while, Zhao Xin led everyone in. When he saw Wen Pin, Zhao Xin ran to him and bowed,"Zhao Xin is late, I hope Zhongye won't take offense! "
Wen Pin had already recognized Zhao Xin on the way to Runan. At this time, he already treated Zhao Xin as his lord. Seeing Zhao Xin so courteous, he hurriedly bowed to Zhao Xin with great courtesy. His heart was excited.
When Zhao Xin saw Wenpin like this, he knew that Wenpin had already submitted to him. He quickly went forward to help Wenpin up, held Wenpin's hand, and introduced the people around him to Wenpin one by one. Everyone smiled and cupped their hands in greeting. Zhao Xin said,"Zhongye, there are some people in Runan who didn't come with me today. There are also those who are outside. I'll introduce you to each other another day." "
Wen Pin then quickly said tactfully,"I will listen to the Lord's arrangements." "
Zhao Xin said,"Now that Zhongye has just come to Runan and has no place to stay, why don't you stay in my residence?" "
This Wenpin didn't dare to. He refused no matter what and said that it would be fine to stay in the posthouse. Zhao Xin couldn't argue with him. He said to Xun,"Wen Ruo, find someone to arrange a house for Zhongye to stay in first. After the New Year, arrange a sincere and satisfactory house for Zhongye." "
After dealing with the civil employment, Zhao Xin dismissed everyone and returned to the residence. When he returned to the residence, the residence was filled with joy and was making arrangements for the new year. Under Cai Yan's command, everyone was decorating the house. Even Diao Chan was pulled out.
After staying in Zhao Xin's residence for these few days, Diao Chan had gradually adapted to life here. She called Cai Yan sister and got along very well. However, he had not even spoken a word to Zhao Xin. He would always walk around Zhao Xin with his head lowered when he saw him. However, Zhao Xin never found it strange. Slowly, Diao Chan also realized that Zhao Xin was a person who was easier to get along with. Moreover, Cai Yan would sometimes talk to her about Zhao Xin and even show some of Zhao Xin's poems to Diao Chan. Gradually, Diao Chan also understood Zhao Xin. From the servants, Diao Chan knew that this powerful man was very easy-going towards the servants in the residence. He had never beaten or scolded them. The servants in the residence only had gratitude and respect for Zhao Xin. After being in the Zhao residence for so long, Diao Chan had never heard a word of hatred towards Zhao Xin. Everything about Diao Chan was arranged by Cai Yan, and Zhao Xin had never asked about it. In Zhao Xin's heart, as long as Diao Chan was happy, he would not give Diao Chan any pressure.
Cai Yong did not come to Runan for a long time. Cai Yan wrote a letter with sincere words, but it did not move Cai Yong. He only replied with a letter saying that his body was fine and that Cai Yan did not have to worry or miss him. It was fine as long as he was happy in Runan.
On this day, Zhao Xin thought that his subordinates would not be able to return to Runan for the New Year. It was a holiday, so he should express his gratitude. Moreover, these people had already given him such gifts, so he should also reward them. Therefore, he sent people to buy all kinds of gifts and sent them to various places. These people in Runan also had one. During this period, she even went to see Wenpin and learned about his life in Runan. She was so touched that Wenpin almost cried.
On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Xin dressed in casual clothes and came to the government office to stay for a while. Seeing that there was nothing else, he planned to return to the residence. He called Xu Chu and Hua Xiong back to the residence. Now, these two were the commanders of Zhao Xin's guards. They followed Zhao Xin day and night and usually dressed casually. Halfway through the journey, he thought of something and cursed himself for being muddle-headed. Everyone had gifts for the new year, so why did he only forget about the two people in his family? Hence, he decided to quickly pick out some things personally, intending to give them to Cai Yan and Diao Chan. So he said to the two people outside the carriage,"Zhongkang, Zijian, let's go to the market." Xu Chu replied,"My lord, I will immediately send the carriage to the largest market in Runan." Xin Zhao thought that if he were to go in his car, why would he shop? He said,"No need, let's go on foot and find a deserted corner to drop me off. "After alighting from the carriage, order the carriage to return to the residence first and inform the residence.
Zhao Xin led everyone around Runan City and thought to himself that he had never visited Runan properly. Usually, he would come and go in a hurry. After a while, they arrived at a jade shop. Zhao Xin looked around to see if there was any suitable jade. Not long after, Zhao Xin took a fancy to a jade pendant and a jade bracelet. When he was counting the money with the boss, he habitually reached out to take out his money and realized that he had no money on him. It turned out that ever since he arrived in Runan, Zhao Xin had never bought anything personally. Looking at the crowd behind them, Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong shrugged helplessly, indicating that they did not have any money either. The two of them did not have the habit of carrying money either. The people behind Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong quickly took out the money they had with them. Zhao Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was really all kinds of money. Silver, big money, and small money piled up into a small pile. In the end, it was still not enough to buy these two things. Zhao Xin was embarrassed. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation the first time he bought something in Runan. So he said to the boss,"Boss, can you keep these two things for me? I'll get someone to withdraw the money later." The boss saw the murderous aura behind this person and thought that this person was probably some big shot. Otherwise, how could he have such a group of subordinates? He quickly agreed. Zhao Xin instructed the person behind him to go to the residence to get some money and then come here to get something. He led his men to continue looking around the area.
After strolling around and seeing that it was about time, she walked back to the jade shop. The subordinate had already withdrawn the money and was waiting for Xin Zhao and the others. After paying, he asked the boss to wrap the things up and bring them with him.
After leaving the jade shop, there was no point in shopping anymore. It was better to find a few people to drink with. "Go and get Zhang Liao and Xu Shu." Two of them turned around to leave, but Zhao Xin thought,"Wait a minute." He then asked everyone,"Do you know which restaurant in the city is more famous?" Everyone recommended one. Xin Zhao said to the two,"Ask Zhang Liao and Xu Shu to go to Spring Breeze Restaurant. We'll wait there. "
When everyone arrived at Spring Breeze Restaurant, Zhao Xin asked the guard behind him to have a meal in the hall downstairs. He, Xu Chu, and Hwa Xiong went upstairs. The three of them sat down and casually ordered a few dishes and a few jars of wine. They asked Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong to let go and drink, but the two of them did not dare to obey and only drank a few glasses. Zhao Xin didn't force them and said to the two,""When you go back, bring a few more jars back and drink slowly at home. "Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong quickly thanked him.
Xin Zhao carefully tasted the wine while listening to what the people sitting next to him were saying. He saw two people sitting beside him. One looked like a merchant, and the other looked like a scholar. "Brother Li, it's already 29 years old. Why are you still in Runan? I remember that although you traveled around the world to study in the past, you would definitely go home early at the end of the year. "
The scholarly-looking man said,"Brother Qian, you don't know. The prosperity of Runan is really rare in the world. I'm not afraid of Brother Qian laughing. I'm fascinated by the famous Su Xue of Runan." "
The man surnamed Qian said,"But you're the top lady of Fragrance Yard, Miss Su Xue." "
The man surnamed Li said,"That's right. Unfortunately, I've only seen Miss Su Xue once. Just that one time has made me unable to forget her for the rest of my life!" After saying that, his face was filled with yearning. He was afraid that he had already wandered to the so-called Miss Su Xue.
The man surnamed Qian said,"I heard that Miss Su Xue only performs once a month. If you want to hear Miss Su Xue's singing, you have to spend ten taels of gold. Moreover, you can only see ten people each time. Brother Li is very lucky." "
The man surnamed Li said,"That's right. Putting aside Miss Su Xue's melodious voice, just looking at Miss Su Xue's beauty, it's worth it no matter how much money you spend." "
"I heard that Miss Su Xue sells her art but not her body. Brother Li, is this true?" "
"Of course it's true," Li said."Anyone who sees Miss Su wouldn't have such dirty thoughts. "
Hearing this, Zhao Xin felt bored. He understood that since the place was prosperous, prostitution and gambling would inevitably appear. Although he couldn't completely eliminate it, he had to tell Xun to take care of it and not let it spread.
Just as he was thinking, Xu Shu and Zhang Liao arrived. The two of them quickly walked up to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin quickly gestured for the two of them to sit down and said,"Wen Yuan, Yuan Zhi, I'm sorry to disturb you today. I'm twenty-nine years old. I pulled you out for nothing. I just wanted to drink with you and talk. "
Xu Shu hurriedly said,"My lord, what are you saying? It is our fortune to be able to accompany you." "
Zhang Liao smiled and nodded. After a while, the restaurant manager came up and came to Xu Shu's side. He bowed and said to Xu Shu,"Lord Xu, you're not at home today. How come you have the time to come to my shop? "
Xu Shu said,"Why are you saying so much? Hurry up and bring us your good wine and dishes." "
The shopkeeper quickly went over, and the waiter quickly brought over many dishes.
"Yuanzhi knows the manager of this restaurant?" Zhao Xin asked. Xu Shu said,"My lord, the dishes here are more famous. I've been here a few times, so the boss recognized me. However, my lord, I didn't-"
Before he could finish, Zhao Xin interrupted him,"Yuanzhi, you don't have to say anymore. I know what kind of person you are! "
"Thank you, my lord," said Xu Shu. Zhao Xin said,"What's there to thank? I believe you. Isn't this normal?" "
Zhao Xin continued,"Alright, I called you out to talk and chat. Why are you all so reserved? You're making me feel uncomfortable all over. If I feel uncomfortable, you won't feel good either." "
After saying that, everyone laughed. The atmosphere could not help but become better. The five of them began to talk and laugh.
Just as everyone was feeling happy, they suddenly heard banging sounds downstairs, followed by a quarrel. Not long after, a guard ran up and whispered a few words to Xu Chu. "Zhongkang, what happened?" asked Zhao Xin. Xu Chu said,"My Lord, something small has happened. I'll go down and take a look. My Lord, please continue." "
Zhao Xin said," Since you have something to do, let's go down and take a look. I'm bored. Yuanzhi, Wenyuan, Zhongkang, Zijian, let's go down and take a look." After saying that, he led the way downstairs, followed by Zhang Liao and the others.
When Zhao Xin came downstairs, he saw his guards glaring at the group of people opposite him. The two sides were confronting each other like fighting cocks. The manager of the restaurant kept bowing to the two sides. The customers downstairs had already run away.
When Zhao Xin's guards saw him coming down, they hurriedly came over to bow. Zhao Xin waved his hand to signal them not to come over. He turned to Xu Shu and said,"Yuanzhi, go up and hide. "Xu Shu looked at it and knew that Zhao Xin was not willing to give up, so he quickly went upstairs.
At this moment, the leader of the group of people who looked like a young master scolded,"Who are you? This Young Master wants to reserve this restaurant for use, yet you dare to not give this Young Master face. "
Seeing that Zhao Xin had already come down and wanted to personally settle this matter, the group of guards did not say anything. However, the expression on their faces changed from anger to disdain. The shopkeeper said,"Eldest Young Master Cheng, please give me face today. You should go back first. I will personally visit you to apologize another day." As he spoke, he looked at the stairs and thought, My Lord Xu Shu, why aren't you coming down yet? The shopkeeper knew that Xu Shu was drinking upstairs, so he didn't take Cheng Gongzi to heart, so he said this. Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Young Master Cheng came up and slapped the shopkeeper, making him dizzy. Young Master Cheng said to the guards," You guys are really not sensible. Didn't you see that everyone in the hall gave this young master face and left? This young master wants to book a mere restaurant to treat us. Who in Runan City dares to disobey? Since you don't give this young master face, then this young master will let you remember this young master forever." He waved his hand at the thirty people behind him and said,"Go! "
In Runan City, armed fighting was a serious crime, so Young Master Cheng's men abandoned their weapons and only waved their fists as they rushed over. Zhao Xin's guards saw that the other party did not use weapons, which was exactly what they wanted. They went up and waved their old fists, and everyone started fighting. How could those 30 people be a match for Zhao Xin's well-trained guards? In just a short while, all 30 of them were beaten to the ground. "Good-for-nothing!" Young Master Cheng cursed. He said to the guards,"Just you wait if you have the ability! "After saying that, he ran out without caring about the lives of the people on the ground.
Zhao Xin, who was standing at the side, did not say a word. At this moment, he gave the guards an appreciative look. Then, he found a corner that would not attract any attention and sat down with Zhang Liao and the others. When the guards saw Zhao Xin's eyes, they knew that Zhao Xin would definitely support him. Zhang Liao was afraid that something would happen later, so he whispered something to the guard behind him. The guard was about to leave. Zhao Xin understood what Zhang Liao meant and did not stop him. He called out to the guard,"Go tell your brothers that I'll definitely support them. Tell them to perform well for me. "When the guard heard this, he was very excited. He quickly walked to the group of guards and said a few words before leaving. After hearing these words, these guards were extremely excited. At this time, the shopkeeper had gone upstairs to invite Xu Shu and asked him to help settle this matter. Xu Shu thought that the lord clearly wanted to pursue this matter, so how could he care? Moreover, he was too lazy to care. So he said to the shopkeeper,"I can't care about that Young Master Cheng. I'll leave first." "That caused the shopkeeper to be startled and misunderstand Xu Shu's meaning. He thought that Cheng Gongzi's backing was so strong that even Xu Shu didn't dare to touch it. What Xu Shu meant was, since my lord has intervened, how can I still be in charge? When the shopkeeper heard Xu Shu's words, he felt extremely regretful. He quickly went to Zhao Xin's guards and said,"Everyone, I beg you, please leave quickly. Otherwise, when that Young Master Cheng comes back, you won't be able to recover, and neither will I. As long as you're willing to leave, I'll promise you anything. How about it? "After these guards heard Zhao Xin's words, how could they pay attention to him?
Not long after, Young Master Cheng returned with a hundred men, including a dozen soldiers. When Zhao Xin saw the soldiers, his expression turned ugly. Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, and Hua Xiong's faces turned red as well. They were furious, especially Zhang Liao, because the soldiers in the city were led by Zhang Liao and Pang De.
Young Master Cheng pointed at the guards and said to the leader,""Lord Liu, these are the people. The officer surnamed Liu stepped forward and said to the guards without a word,"You guys have committed a serious crime by fighting with weapons in the city. Now that the end of the year is approaching, disturbing our lord's festival is even more serious. Men, arrest them! "When the ten soldiers and Young Master Cheng's subordinates heard this, they wanted to rush forward.
Zhao Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the officer surnamed Liu say such nondescript words. He signaled Zhang Liao to deal with him. Zhang Liao saw that the guard who went to report the news had already walked to the door and knew that his men had arrived. He walked out and said,"What I saw was exactly the opposite of what you saw!" "
Young Master Cheng said,"Who do you think you are? What did you see? Even if you really saw it, I advise you to shut your mouth obediently. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time." "
When the officer surnamed Liu and the other soldiers saw Zhang Liao walk out, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. When they heard Young Master Cheng's arrogant words, they felt so regretful that they wanted to die. Why would they help this idiot?
Zhang Liao smiled and said to Officer Liu,""You tell him who I am. "
"Yes, General Zhang," the officer surnamed Liu said, trembling with fear. "He turned around and was about to tell that Young Master Cheng, but he was so scared that he stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this moment, Zhang Liao shouted at the door,""Come in! Zhang Liao waved his hand and pointed at the people beside Young Master Cheng and the dozen or so soldiers."Take them all down! "
Young Master Cheng also reacted at this time and knew that this person in front of him was probably Runan's general, Zhang Liao. He couldn't help but be afraid and said with a trembling voice,"General Zhang, let me go. My father will give you as much money as you want. Zhang Liao thought that this person really didn't know what was good for him. He actually said such words in public and quickly shouted,"Shut up! "He ordered the soldiers beside him to go up and give Young Master Cheng a few slaps. He was beaten until he was bleeding and unable to speak.
At this moment, Zhao Xin slowly walked out. Zhang Liao quickly went up and said,"My lord, what should we do with these people? "
At this moment, the expressions of the group of people became interesting. Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. The restaurant manager also hurriedly knelt down.
Zhao Xin said,"Wen Yuan, these soldiers are your subordinates. You can handle them!" "
Zhang Liao said,"Yes, my lord." He then said to the soldiers,"What crime do you deserve? "How could those people dare to say that? "What do you think?" Zhang Liao asked the soldiers beside him. Everyone shouted,"He should be beheaded!" "
"Alright then, drag him out and execute him on the spot!" Zhang Liao said. "
After a while, more than ten bloody heads were presented. Xu Shu also followed in. It turned out that Xu Shu had been staying nearby. When he saw the murder, he followed in.
Young Master Cheng and his men were so scared that they almost fainted.
Zhao Xin said,"Yuanzhi, Wenyuan, pass down my order. No officers or soldiers are allowed to disturb the people!" "I don't care who you are or who your father is. Your family, get out of Runan and get out of my territory." "You guys are the same. If I see you still in Runan City tomorrow, you don't have to leave anymore." "
He left Zhang Liao and Xu Shu behind to handle this matter before he left with his men. Before he left, he asked the guards to buy a few jars of wine for Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong. When Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong saw this, Zhao Xin still remembered what he had said to them. He thought to himself that such a lord really cared about his subordinates all the time. Hua Xiong hadn't been with Zhao Xin for long, so he didn't know much about him. However, when he was fighting against Dong Zhuo, Zhao Xin told him to return to Runan first. Hua Xiong had already made up his mind to serve Zhao Xin to the death. Now that he saw how much Zhao Xin cared about his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't follow the wrong person.
Xin Zhao was originally in a good mood today, so he thought of gathering everyone for a drink. After this incident, Xin Zhao's good mood was ruined. When he returned to the manor, he was a little unhappy. He thought that he had to manage his territory more carefully in the future.
As she thought about it, the day passed just like that. She even forgot to give Cai Yan and Diao Chan their gifts.

Wen Pin left Jingzhou with that group of people. When they arrived near Nanyang, that group of people took Wen Pin to see the Nanyang garrison general Taishi Ci openly. At this moment, Wenpin understood that the person who saved him was Zhao Xin's subordinate.
Taishi Ci learned that those people were ordered by Guo Jia to rescue Wenpin in Jingzhou. Taishi Ci knew that Guo Jia's intention was probably his big brother's intention. From this, it could be seen that his big brother was very interested in Wenpin. Although he did not know how capable Wenpin was, Taishi Ci had personally experienced it over the years and knew how sharp his brother's eyes were. Just looking at Zhao Yun, Zhang-, Pang De, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao, who he had found in the earlier years, none of them were inferior to him. Hence, he entertained Wen Pin and those people very thoughtfully.

He thought to himself, Other than Huang Zhong, the other generals of the Jing State were all hired. Now that he had this person, his strength had increased by another level. Immediately, he said to Xun and the others beside him,"Let's go and welcome Wen Zhongye. "
Wen Pin thought that those people must have gone to report to Zhao Xin. It was the end of the year now, and Zhao Xin was probably very busy. He did not know when he would be able to see Zhao Xin. Just as they were guessing, they heard a commotion outside the posthouse.

Wen Pin then quickly said tactfully,"I will listen to the Lord's arrangements." "
Zhao Xin said,"Now that Zhongye has just come to Runan and has no place to stay, why don't you stay in my residence?" "
This Wenpin didn't dare to. He refused no matter what and said that it would be fine to stay in the posthouse. Zhao Xin couldn't argue with him. He said to Xun,"Wen Ruo, find someone to arrange a house for Zhongye to stay in first. After the New Year, arrange a sincere and satisfactory house for Zhongye." "
After dealing with the civil employment, Zhao Xin dismissed everyone and returned to the residence. When he returned to the residence, the residence was filled with joy and was making arrangements for the new year. Under Cai Yan's command, everyone was decorating the house.

Everything about Diao Chan was arranged by Cai Yan, and Zhao Xin had never asked about it. In Zhao Xin's heart, as long as Diao Chan was happy, he would not give Diao Chan any pressure.
Cai Yong did not come to Runan for a long time. Cai Yan wrote a letter with sincere words, but it did not move Cai Yong. He only replied with a letter saying that his body was fine and that Cai Yan did not have to worry or miss him. It was fine as long as he was happy in Runan.
On this day, Zhao Xin thought that his subordinates would not be able to return to Runan for the New Year. It was a holiday, so he should express his gratitude. Moreover, these people had already given him such gifts, so he should also reward them. Therefore, he sent people to buy all kinds of gifts and sent them to various places.

Zhao Xin looked around to see if there was any suitable jade. Not long after, Zhao Xin took a fancy to a jade pendant and a jade bracelet. When he was counting the money with the boss, he habitually reached out to take out his money and realized that he had no money on him. It turned out that ever since he arrived in Runan, Zhao Xin had never bought anything personally. Looking at the crowd behind them, Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong shrugged helplessly, indicating that they did not have any money either. The two of them did not have the habit of carrying money either.

After leaving the jade shop, there was no point in shopping anymore. It was better to find a few people to drink with. "Go and get Zhang Liao and Xu Shu." Two of them turned around to leave, but Zhao Xin thought,"Wait a minute." He then asked everyone,"Do you know which restaurant in the city is more famous?" Everyone recommended one. Xin Zhao said to the two,"Ask Zhang Liao and Xu Shu to go to Spring Breeze Restaurant. We'll wait there. "
When everyone arrived at Spring Breeze Restaurant, Zhao Xin asked the guard behind him to have a meal in the hall downstairs. He, Xu Chu, and Hwa Xiong went upstairs. The three of them sat down and casually ordered a few dishes and a few jars of wine. They asked Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong to let go and drink, but the two of them did not dare to obey and only drank a few glasses. Zhao Xin didn't force them and said to the two,""When you go back, bring a few more jars back and drink slowly at home. "Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong quickly thanked him.
Xin Zhao carefully tasted the wine while listening to what the people sitting next to him were saying. He saw two people sitting beside him. One looked like a merchant, and the other looked like a scholar. "Brother Li, it's already 29 years old. Why are you still in Runan? I remember that although you traveled around the world to study in the past, you would definitely go home early at the end of the year. "
The scholarly-looking man said,"Brother Qian, you don't know. The prosperity of Runan is really rare in the world. I'm not afraid of Brother Qian laughing. I'm fascinated by the famous Su Xue of Runan." "
The man surnamed Qian said,"But you're the top lady of Fragrance Yard, Miss Su Xue." "
The man surnamed Li said,"That's right. Unfortunately, I've only seen Miss Su Xue once. Just that one time has made me unable to forget her for the rest of my life!" After saying that, his face was filled with yearning. He was afraid that he had already wandered to the so-called Miss Su Xue.
The man surnamed Qian said,"I heard that Miss Su Xue only performs once a month. If you want to hear Miss Su Xue's singing, you have to spend ten taels of gold. Moreover, you can only see ten people each time. Brother Li is very lucky." "
The man surnamed Li said,"That's right. Putting aside Miss Su Xue's melodious voice, just looking at Miss Su Xue's beauty, it's worth it no matter how much money you spend." "
"I heard that Miss Su Xue sells her art but not her body. Brother Li, is this true?" "
"Of course it's true," Li said."Anyone who sees Miss Su wouldn't have such dirty thoughts. "
Hearing this, Zhao Xin felt bored. He understood that since the place was prosperous, prostitution and gambling would inevitably appear. Although he couldn't completely eliminate it, he had to tell Xun to take care of it and not let it spread.
Just as he was thinking, Xu Shu and Zhang Liao arrived. The two of them quickly walked up to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin quickly gestured for the two of them to sit down and said,"Wen Yuan, Yuan Zhi, I'm sorry to disturb you today. I'm twenty-nine years old. I pulled you out for nothing. I just wanted to drink with you and talk. "
Xu Shu hurriedly said,"My lord, what are you saying? It is our fortune to be able to accompany you." "
Zhang Liao smiled and nodded. After a while, the restaurant manager came up and came to Xu Shu's side. He bowed and said to Xu Shu,"Lord Xu, you're not at home today. How come you have the time to come to my shop? "
Xu Shu said,"Why are you saying so much? Hurry up and bring us your good wine and dishes." "
The shopkeeper quickly went over, and the waiter quickly brought over many dishes.
"Yuanzhi knows the manager of this restaurant?" Zhao Xin asked. Xu Shu said,"My lord, the dishes here are more famous. I've been here a few times, so the boss recognized me. However, my lord, I didn't-"
Before he could finish, Zhao Xin interrupted him,"Yuanzhi, you don't have to say anymore. I know what kind of person you are! "
"Thank you, my lord," said Xu Shu. Zhao Xin said,"What's there to thank? I believe you. Isn't this normal?" "
Zhao Xin continued,"Alright, I called you out to talk and chat. Why are you all so reserved? You're making me feel uncomfortable all over. If I feel uncomfortable, you won't feel good either." "
After saying that, everyone laughed. The atmosphere could not help but become better. The five of them began to talk and laugh.
Just as everyone was feeling happy, they suddenly heard banging sounds downstairs, followed by a quarrel. Not long after, a guard ran up and whispered a few words to Xu Chu. "Zhongkang, what happened?" asked Zhao Xin. Xu Chu said,"My Lord, something small has happened. I'll go down and take a look. My Lord, please continue." "
Zhao Xin said," Since you have something to do, let's go down and take a look. I'm bored. Yuanzhi, Wenyuan, Zhongkang, Zijian, let's go down and take a look." After saying that, he led the way downstairs, followed by Zhang Liao and the others.
When Zhao Xin came downstairs, he saw his guards glaring at the group of people opposite him. The two sides were confronting each other like fighting cocks. The manager of the restaurant kept bowing to the two sides. The customers downstairs had already run away.
When Zhao Xin's guards saw him coming down, they hurriedly came over to bow. Zhao Xin waved his hand to signal them not to come over. He turned to Xu Shu and said,"Yuanzhi, go up and hide. "Xu Shu looked at it and knew that Zhao Xin was not willing to give up, so he quickly went upstairs.
At this moment, the leader of the group of people who looked like a young master scolded,"Who are you? This Young Master wants to reserve this restaurant for use, yet you dare to not give this Young Master face. "
Seeing that Zhao Xin had already come down and wanted to personally settle this matter, the group of guards did not say anything. However, the expression on their faces changed from anger to disdain. The shopkeeper said,"Eldest Young Master Cheng, please give me face today. You should go back first. I will personally visit you to apologize another day." As he spoke, he looked at the stairs and thought, My Lord Xu Shu, why aren't you coming down yet? The shopkeeper knew that Xu Shu was drinking upstairs, so he didn't take Cheng Gongzi to heart, so he said this. Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Young Master Cheng came up and slapped the shopkeeper, making him dizzy. Young Master Cheng said to the guards," You guys are really not sensible. Didn't you see that everyone in the hall gave this young master face and left? This young master wants to book a mere restaurant to treat us. Who in Runan City dares to disobey? Since you don't give this young master face, then this young master will let you remember this young master forever." He waved his hand at the thirty people behind him and said,"Go! "
In Runan City, armed fighting was a serious crime, so Young Master Cheng's men abandoned their weapons and only waved their fists as they rushed over. Zhao Xin's guards saw that the other party did not use weapons, which was exactly what they wanted. They went up and waved their old fists, and everyone started fighting. How could those 30 people be a match for Zhao Xin's well-trained guards? In just a short while, all 30 of them were beaten to the ground. "Good-for-nothing!" Young Master Cheng cursed. He said to the guards,"Just you wait if you have the ability! "After saying that, he ran out without caring about the lives of the people on the ground.
Zhao Xin, who was standing at the side, did not say a word. At this moment, he gave the guards an appreciative look. Then, he found a corner that would not attract any attention and sat down with Zhang Liao and the others. When the guards saw Zhao Xin's eyes, they knew that Zhao Xin would definitely support him. Zhang Liao was afraid that something would happen later, so he whispered something to the guard behind him. The guard was about to leave. Zhao Xin understood what Zhang Liao meant and did not stop him. He called out to the guard,"Go tell your brothers that I'll definitely support them. Tell them to perform well for me. "When the guard heard this, he was very excited. He quickly walked to the group of guards and said a few words before leaving. After hearing these words, these guards were extremely excited. At this time, the shopkeeper had gone upstairs to invite Xu Shu and asked him to help settle this matter. Xu Shu thought that the lord clearly wanted to pursue this matter, so how could he care? Moreover, he was too lazy to care. So he said to the shopkeeper,"I can't care about that Young Master Cheng. I'll leave first." "That caused the shopkeeper to be startled and misunderstand Xu Shu's meaning. He thought that Cheng Gongzi's backing was so strong that even Xu Shu didn't dare to touch it. What Xu Shu meant was, since my lord has intervened, how can I still be in charge? When the shopkeeper heard Xu Shu's words, he felt extremely regretful. He quickly went to Zhao Xin's guards and said,"Everyone, I beg you, please leave quickly. Otherwise, when that Young Master Cheng comes back, you won't be able to recover, and neither will I. As long as you're willing to leave, I'll promise you anything. How about it? "After these guards heard Zhao Xin's words, how could they pay attention to him?
Not long after, Young Master Cheng returned with a hundred men, including a dozen soldiers. When Zhao Xin saw the soldiers, his expression turned ugly. Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, and Hua Xiong's faces turned red as well. They were furious, especially Zhang Liao, because the soldiers in the city were led by Zhang Liao and Pang De.
Young Master Cheng pointed at the guards and said to the leader,""Lord Liu, these are the people. The officer surnamed Liu stepped forward and said to the guards without a word,"You guys have committed a serious crime by fighting with weapons in the city. Now that the end of the year is approaching, disturbing our lord's festival is even more serious. Men, arrest them! "When the ten soldiers and Young Master Cheng's subordinates heard this, they wanted to rush forward.
Zhao Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the officer surnamed Liu say such nondescript words. He signaled Zhang Liao to deal with him. Zhang Liao saw that the guard who went to report the news had already walked to the door and knew that his men had arrived. He walked out and said,"What I saw was exactly the opposite of what you saw!" "
Young Master Cheng said,"Who do you think you are? What did you see? Even if you really saw it, I advise you to shut your mouth obediently. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time." "
When the officer surnamed Liu and the other soldiers saw Zhang Liao walk out, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. When they heard Young Master Cheng's arrogant words, they felt so regretful that they wanted to die. Why would they help this idiot?
Zhang Liao smiled and said to Officer Liu,""You tell him who I am. "
"Yes, General Zhang," the officer surnamed Liu said, trembling with fear. "He turned around and was about to tell that Young Master Cheng, but he was so scared that he stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this moment, Zhang Liao shouted at the door,""Come in! Zhang Liao waved his hand and pointed at the people beside Young Master Cheng and the dozen or so soldiers."Take them all down! "
Young Master Cheng also reacted at this time and knew that this person in front of him was probably Runan's general, Zhang Liao. He couldn't help but be afraid and said with a trembling voice,"General Zhang, let me go. My father will give you as much money as you want. Zhang Liao thought that this person really didn't know what was good for him. He actually said such words in public and quickly shouted,"Shut up! "He ordered the soldiers beside him to go up and give Young Master Cheng a few slaps. He was beaten until he was bleeding and unable to speak.
At this moment, Zhao Xin slowly walked out. Zhang Liao quickly went up and said,"My lord, what should we do with these people? "
At this moment, the expressions of the group of people became interesting. Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. The restaurant manager also hurriedly knelt down.
Zhao Xin said,"Wen Yuan, these soldiers are your subordinates. You can handle them!" "
Zhang Liao said,"Yes, my lord." He then said to the soldiers,"What crime do you deserve? "How could those people dare to say that? "What do you think?" Zhang Liao asked the soldiers beside him. Everyone shouted,"He should be beheaded!" "
"Alright then, drag him out and execute him on the spot!" Zhang Liao said. "
After a while, more than ten bloody heads were presented. Xu Shu also followed in. It turned out that Xu Shu had been staying nearby. When he saw the murder, he followed in.
Young Master Cheng and his men were so scared that they almost fainted.
Zhao Xin said,"Yuanzhi, Wenyuan, pass down my order. No officers or soldiers are allowed to disturb the people!" "I don't care who you are or who your father is. Your family, get out of Runan and get out of my territory." "You guys are the same. If I see you still in Runan City tomorrow, you don't have to leave anymore." "
He left Zhang Liao and Xu Shu behind to handle this matter before he left with his men. Before he left, he asked the guards to buy a few jars of wine for Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong. When Xu Chu and Hwa Xiong saw this, Zhao Xin still remembered what he had said to them. He thought to himself that such a lord really cared about his subordinates all the time. Hua Xiong hadn't been with Zhao Xin for long, so he didn't know much about him. However, when he was fighting against Dong Zhuo, Zhao Xin told him to return to Runan first. Hua Xiong had already made up his mind to serve Zhao Xin to the death. Now that he saw how much Zhao Xin cared about his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't follow the wrong person.
Xin Zhao was originally in a good mood today, so he thought of gathering everyone for a drink. After this incident, Xin Zhao's good mood was ruined. When he returned to the manor, he was a little unhappy. He thought that he had to manage his territory more carefully in the future.
As she thought about it, the day passed just like that. She even forgot to give Cai Yan and Diao Chan their gifts.
