Not long after Wan 'er left the courtyard, Xun You walked in from outside.
"Wen Yuan, I bumped into Han Chang on the way here just now. His expression didn't seem very good.”
"Yes, that's right. However, I made fun of you.”
"Wen Yuan's sarcasm is good! Humph, ever since the Han clan has sought refuge with the Ten Attendants, they are no longer on the same path as us!”
"Let's not talk about this. By the way, Gongda, did you come here today for something?”
"That's right. You didn't go to the banquet today, so there are many things you don't know.
At the banquet today, the prefect had already leaked the news that the imperial court was going to start a party ban because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
With Wen Yuan's contribution this time, it should not be a problem for him to recommend Xiao Lian.
Han Chang probably came to you today because of this problem.
Originally, your spot should have been his, but now the mayor is willing to give it to you.
Moreover, the aristocratic families in Yingchuan are all on good terms with our Xun family.
He probably doesn't have a chance anymore. He's probably upset and wants to vent his anger on you.
Right, there's one more thing. The imperial court's army should be arriving tomorrow.
The troops were split into two groups, one led by Zhu Rong and the other by Huangfu Song.”
"Wen Yuan, do you think the Imperial Court has a good chance of winning this time?”
Xun Zhen did not answer him immediately. Instead, he glanced at Xun You and said with a smile that was not a smile,"
"Hey, Gongda, why are you asking me about everything now? I remember that you weren't like this in the past.”
"Hahaha, it's all because you, Xun Wenyuan, are much better than me. I, Xun Gongda, would not dare to show off my skills in front of you. Otherwise, I would definitely be laughed at by you in secret.”
"Gongda must be joking. We're still uncle and nephew.”
When he said this, Xun Zhen faintly smiled. Immediately, he could not help but tease him.
Hearing this, Xun You was stunned speechless.
One had to know that the Eastern Han Dynasty inherited the Western Han Dynasty and ruled the world with filial piety and respected Confucianism.
Therefore, the cardinal guides and ethics were naturally the most important, especially for the great clans.
Xun Zhen's father was Xun Shu's eldest son, Xun Jian, while Xun You's father was Xun Yi.
According to the seniority in the Xun Clan, Xun Zhen should be of the same generation as Xun Yi.
However, Xun Zhen was much younger than Xun You. Moreover, Xun Zhen usually did not care about these things.
Xun You was also a rebel in his bones. Otherwise, he wouldn't have privately encouraged Cao Cao to do such a treasonous thing as " using the Son of Heaven to command the vassals."
Therefore, the two of them had a tacit understanding to address each other as equals.
However, being born in this era…
If Xun Zhen really used the name of an elder to control Xun You, even if Xun You had the ability to overturn the heavens, he would have no choice but to obey Xun Zhen.
Especially when it was a direct descendant of the Xun family like Xun Zhen!
As long as Xun You dared to resist, not only would Xun You lose any standing in the Xun Family, he would also be despised by the scholars of the world!
"Oh right, Gongda, remember to remind the prefect later today.
If the army of the imperial court arrived tomorrow, then there would definitely be a change in Yingchuan City tonight. He had to be prepared.
" Of course, you have to be careful when defending the city. These Yellow Turban soldiers are likely to work together from the inside and outside to seize the city gate.”
"Good! Wen Yuan, you should be careful too."
After Xun You left, the night quickly darkened.
Two hours later, Wan 'er returned.
He learned from her that when she returned, there were more guards patrolling the streets than usual.
From the looks of it, Xun You had already informed the prefect of his warning.
Although he wanted to kill with a borrowed knife, he did not want Yingchuan County to fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban.
Once Yingchuan County City fell into the hands of this Yellow Turban, the first person Bo Cai wanted to kill would probably be him.
After all, he was the one who offered the plan to flood the city last time. Moreover, countless Yellow Turban warriors were killed in that flood.
At that time, even if Bo Cai did not kill him, his subordinates would definitely skin him alive.
Therefore, he had to control this well.
"Young Master, it's already midnight."
Hearing the sound of the night watch coming from afar, Wan 'er, who was sitting at the side, immediately reminded him softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, shouts came from afar.
"It's starting."
Xun Zhen put down the teacup in his hand and walked to the front of the door. He stood on the high steps and looked at the fire in the distance as he muttered.
"Young Master, don't worry. With me here, even if Yingchuan County is breached, the Yellow Turban bandits won't be able to get within three feet of Young Master!”
Hearing this, Xun Zhen turned around and looked at the burly man standing in the corner of the hall.
This brawny man was extremely tall and sturdy. His arms were thick and strong. Just by standing there, he gave off a mountain-like pressure.
At this moment, although he was wearing a brown unlined garment, his chest was still exposed, and there were two cold iron short halberds on his waist.
"With Ziman here, I naturally feel at ease.
Oh right, Ziman, is your wife and son adapting to the Ying Yin Xun family?”
Hearing Xun Zhen's question, the burly man immediately cupped his fists and said,
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master. They are all doing well. Dian Wei could only repay Young Master's kindness with his life!”
This brawny man was Chen Liu's Dian Wei.
Previously, Dian Wei was wanted by the Imperial Court for avenging the Liu family.
Chen Liu wasn't too far from Yingchuan, so news of Dian Wei's incident spread to Yingchuan not long after.
This was because Xun Zhen had also heard of the ranking of the Three Kingdoms 'martial strength in his previous life.
Therefore, after hearing about this, Xun Zhen immediately sent his trusted aide to Chen Liu to find Dian Wei.
At this moment, Dian Wei was just a fugitive. After Xun Zhen found him, not only did he use his connections to get him off the hook.
Moreover, when he was fleeing everywhere, she took the initiative to take care of his wife and children so that his wife and children would not be bullied by those local ruffians.
Thus, after he was successfully exonerated, Dian Wei immediately brought his entire family to Yingchuan to seek refuge with Xun Zhen to repay his kindness.
