Three Kingdoms King of the North

"So it's my cousin." After Zhao Yun revealed his identity, the expression on Zhen Yan's face changed from surprise to joy, and he bowed deeply to Zhao Yun: "I've seen my cousin!"

Seeing that Zhao Yun suddenly became a relative with Mr. Zhen, Han Zhan couldn't help asking in a daze, "Zilong, why did you become cousins ​​with Mr. Zhen? What's going on?"

Zhen Yan thought that Zhao Yun was respectful to this Mr. Han just now, so he must not be a small person, so he became curious: "Cousin, I don't know where this Mr. Han came from?"

"Cousin, I'll be here to introduce you." Zhao Yun brought Zhen Yan to Han Zhan's horse, and said to him, "This is the new Minister of State Affairs and the son of Han Jizhou."

Even though Zhen Yan didn't know who Han Zhan was, she was impressed by Han Fu's name. Hearing that the person in front of him was actually the son of Han Fu, and that he was also a newly-appointed national decree, she quickly adjusted her clothes and went to the office. He bowed before and made a big salute: "Zhen Yan sees Han Shijun."

"Mr. Zhen is not polite," Han Zhan knew that to understand the relationship between the two, he needed to start from Zhen Yan, so he asked with a smile: "I want to ask, why do you and Zilong call you cousins?"

Hearing Han Zhan's question, Zhen Yan couldn't help being taken aback, and couldn't help turning her head to look at her cousin, wondering that he didn't tell the envoy he was following about his origin.He turned around, looked at Han Zhan and said, "Zhending Zhao's family is the descendant of Nanyue King Zhao Tuo. My mother and cousin's mother are sisters, so they are called brothers."

Han Zhan didn't expect that Zhao Yun was born in a famous family, maybe he was too low-key, unlike Liu Bei who kept his mouth shut and said: Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan.So much so that until now, I thought Zhao Yun was just an ordinary kid from a rich family, so he quickly got off his horse and said politely to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, since your elder is here, why don't you hurry up and see him."

Han Zhan saw Zhen Yan leading Zhao Yun through the busy crowd to another carriage parked by the road.Zhen Yan said a few words into the car, and the low blue curtain was lifted, and a man leaned out of the car with a surprised expression on his face.Zhao Yun quickly bowed forward and saluted his elder.

The maid standing beside the car helped her out of the car.The beautiful woman walked up to Zhao Yun and started talking with him.After chatting for a while, Han Zhan found that the other party turned his gaze to where he was.He couldn't help thinking to himself, maybe she heard his son and nephew mention him, so she looked this way.

After a while, Han Zhan saw the beautiful woman turned around and walked towards the carriage, and he couldn't help sighing inwardly, saying that in this dynasty, it was hard to see a beautiful woman who was seductive. What a pity to go back to the carriage.

Just when Han Zhan was feeling sorry, he saw the beautiful woman walking to the carriage, and instead of getting into the carriage immediately, he lifted the curtain and said a few words inside, and then there was a little loli with a double bun, Get out of the car.The beautiful woman carried the little Lolita out of the carriage, pointed to where Han Zhan was, then took the little Lolita's hand, and came slowly towards this side.

Seeing the beautiful woman approaching, Han Zhan's heart beat faster, thinking about how to greet her later.Before he could think about it, the beautiful woman brought little Lolita to him, and after saluting, she asked, "This is Mr. Han!"

"I have met Mrs. Zhen." Han Zhan hurriedly saluted the other party, "I am the new Minister of State Affairs, Han Zhan."

"Thank you for your generous help, I am here to thank you." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and greeted the little loli next to her: "Mi'er, quickly thank the envoy!"

Han Zhan couldn't help laughing when he heard the other party calling himself "old body", and thought that the other party was at most 35-[-], which is considered the most beautiful age for women in later generations, so it has nothing to do with the word "old".He turned his head and looked at the pink and jade-carved little loli next to the beautiful woman, and immediately saw that the other party was a beauty embryo, and her mother was considered a beauty, but when this little loli grew up, she would definitely be more beautiful than her mother Win a little bit and become a great beauty who can overwhelm the country and the city.

While thinking wildly, I suddenly heard a crisp voice saying: "Mi'er thanks the envoy!"

"Madam is too polite." Seeing Mrs. Zhen asking his daughter to thank him, Han Zhan said a little embarrassedly: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about." At this point, he was shocked all over, thinking about what he just said What did the little loli call herself? "Mi Er"?Yes, it is Mi Er.Mi Er, Mi Er, could it be Zhen Mi?

"Dare to ask Madam," although Han Zhan was asking Madam Zhen, but his eyes were on Little Lolita, "Is your daughter's name Zhen Mi?"

"That's right, that's right," Mrs. Zhen nodded, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of my little girl before?"

"No, no." Hearing Mrs. Zhen's question, Han Zhan quickly waved his hands and denied, "This is the first time I've heard your daughter's name, it's really a good name." Although he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, But I was extremely shocked in my heart, I didn't expect that the little loli in front of me was actually Zhen Mi, the famous beauty of the Three Kingdoms.

"There are two Qiaos in Jiangdong, and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei." Han Zhan silently repeated these two words he heard from somewhere in his heart, and then asked Mrs. Zhen: "Madam, what is the journey to Yecheng?" It's far away, but I need to send troops to escort it."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Mrs. Zhen replied with a sweet smile: "I have more than [-] family members accompanying me, which is enough to ensure the safety of my family. I won't cause trouble to you."

After the carriage was repaired, Mrs. Zhen took Zhen Mi into the newly repaired carriage, and ordered the people from the Zhen family to make way for Han Zhan's team.

Han Zhan, who was walking at the front of the line, got closer and closer to the carriage where Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Mi were sitting, and his heartbeat became more and more intense. His eyes were fixed on the carriage, hoping to see that lovely girl again. little loli.Just when the body of the horse was parallel to the carriage, the low curtains were pulled open, revealing the cute smiling face of little loli Zhen Mi, who even smiled and waved to Han Zhan.Han Zhan, who was so distraught, almost fell off his horse.

After Han Zhan's team had passed, the Zhen family's motorcade started again. In the front was the carriage in which Zhen Yan sat, followed by the carriages of Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Mi, and behind them was the carriage full of wooden boxes.

After traveling for seven or eight miles, Zhen Yan, who was sitting in the carriage in front, stopped the carriage and told the servants: "It's getting late, you go to the riverside to get some water and come back to cook, we will have lunch by the roadside, and then continue on our way. "

The two servants agreed, took down the bucket hanging behind the carriage, and went to fetch water from the river.Zhen Yan walked to the car behind and said to Mrs. Zhen who was sitting in the car: "Mother, we have been out for half a day, now we are here to rest and have some food before continuing on our way."

Mrs. Zhen agreed, and with the help of the maid, Zhen Mi got out of the carriage and sat on a brocade pier by the side of the road, watching the maid and servants busily cooking.

At this moment, the two servants who went to fetch water ran back yelling, and reported in panic, "It's not good, madam, son, we found a dead body by the river."

When Mrs. Zhen heard that there was a dead person, she felt scared, but she still had the courage to say to Zhen Yan: "Yan'er, take a few people to see, if it is really a dead person, remember to dig a hole and bury him. Do you understand?"

"My child understands." Zhen Yan agreed, and then led several servants towards the river where the body was found.

When Zhen Yan, led by two servants, came to the river.The servant pointed forward with lingering fear and said, "My lord, look quickly, the corpse is by the river, it's completely soaked, it must have been drowned."

Zhen Yan looked in the direction of the servant's finger, and sure enough, she saw a male corpse lying on his back by the river, his clothes were wet.Trembling, he came to a place five or six steps away, and was about to call his servants to carry the corpse away, but unexpectedly found that the corpse's fingers moved a few times.

It turned out that he wasn't dead yet. Seeing that the other party's fingers were still moving, Zhen Yan felt less scared.He walked up to the man, leaned down to observe carefully, and saw that it was a young man with a Chinese character face, calluses on his hands and coarse clothes on his body, which proved that this man was a man who often did farm work. .

"My lord," the servant who followed saw that Zhen Yan was already standing beside the man, and asked curiously, "What does he do, why is he lying here?"

Zhen Yan carefully observed the other party's scars, and said to the servant: "Look, his body and face are bruised and purple, and his clothes have been torn many times. He must have been beaten by others. As for why Lying here, I think he was desperate, so he jumped into the water to escape. Don't talk about it, let's carry him back first."

Mrs. Zhen saw her son carrying a person back, she went up to meet him and asked curiously: "Yan'er, who are the servants carrying?"

"I don't know," Zhen Yan shook her head and said, "According to my child's estimate, he was beaten severely, and finally jumped into the water to escape, and was finally washed here by the water. It seems that his injuries are serious, and he hasn't woken up until now. Mother Honey, what should we do with him?"

Mrs. Zhen thought for a while, and then said: "It's in the wilderness here, if we leave him alone, he will probably die. How about this, let someone carry him to the car behind, and we will take him with us Go to Yecheng."

Chapter 0043 Finding a Case

When Han Zhan's team arrived at the east gate of Sheguo County, officials from the county government had already received the news outside the gate to greet them.When there were more than [-] steps away from the welcoming crowd, Han Zhan got off his horse and walked forward accompanied by Zhao Yun.

A bearded man in an official uniform walked out of the crowd, saluted Han Zhan respectfully, and said, "Master Huahu of Sheguo County, I have seen the envoy."

Don’t look at the word “tiger” in the master book’s name, which sounds like a military general, but he has deep eyes, wide forehead, and skinny skin. If you add a pair of round-rimmed glasses and a melon hat to him, Holding a folding fan or a hookah in your hand, you seem to be the master of Shaoxing in later generations.

Before coming to Sheguo County, Han Zhan had learned about the situation from Tian Feng. He knew that the previous Sheguo Ling had given up his post and left. The county magistrate usually handles everything in the county.At this moment, seeing that among the crowd who came to greet him, there was only the master but no county magistrate, he couldn't help asking: "Master Hua, do you know where the magistrate is?"

Hearing Han Zhan's question, the master's face twitched violently a few times, and then he replied: "I don't know, there was a wave of yellow scarves in the middle of last month, and the county magistrate and magistrate brought five hundred The county soldiers went out of the city to fight, but they were ambushed by the opponent. Only less than a hundred county soldiers fled back, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant were all lost in the rebellious army."

Knowing that the county magistrate and county lieutenant were both killed in the battle with the Yellow Turban, Han Zhan couldn't help being surprised, and then asked: "Since the county magistrate and county lieutenant have both died, why didn't they report to Jizhou in time?"

Huahu sighed, and didn't answer immediately, but turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty has been exhausted all the way, please go back to the county government to rest first."

Han Zhan, who was about to continue asking questions, heard what Huahu said, and guessed in his heart that there must be something to say, which is not convenient to say in public, and needs to be discussed in detail after returning to the county government.

Han Zhan did not ride a horse, but followed Huahu and his party into Sheguo County on foot.When he saw the city wall, his heart suddenly turned cold. The wall was only one foot high, and the walls in many places were cracked, and it felt like it would collapse at any moment.He couldn't imagine how long such a city wall could last if a large army came to attack the city.

After entering the county government office, Zhao Yun directed people to carry luggage to the backyard, while Hua Hu accompanied Han Zhan to the main hall of the county government office, and asked him to sit down behind the table in the middle, and then began to introduce the situation of Sheguo County.

After Huahu introduced the current situation of Sheguo County, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel worried. He felt that this place was really barren and poor like Tian Feng said, and there were bandits and yellow scarves making trouble.The group of bandits that I exterminated yesterday did not rank at all in the list of bandits recorded by the county government.

After introducing the situation in the county, Hua Hu introduced again: "The death of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant has been reported to the prefect of Wei County. As for why he didn't inform Jizhou about it, the subordinate official is not clear. "

Thinking that before he took office, the county magistrate and magistrate had already died in battle. It seemed that the bandits and yellow scarves in the surrounding mountains were not easy to deal with.But before taking action to suppress and suppress, he must first figure out his own strength before he can make targeted deployments: "Master Hua, how many soldiers and horses are there in the county?"

"There were more than 700 county soldiers who died in battle and fled last month." Hua Hu replied, "However, the lower officials have recruited some more recently. Now there are 2000 county soldiers in the county. There are probably about [-] people in the crowd."

Two thousand soldiers can be said to be too many, but not too many are really not many.It may be enough to defend the city.But if it is used to eliminate bandits and yellow turbans, it will be stretched.Han Zhan thought that there were vacancies for the county magistrate and magistrate, and it would take at least one or two months for Yuan Shao to arrange a new candidate for him. Obviously, he couldn't wait for such a long time, so he had to find another way.

Han Zhan raised his head and looked out of the hall, just in time to see Zhao Yun leading several soldiers and carrying several large wooden boxes to the backyard, and quickly shouted: "Zilong, come to me!"

When Zhao Yun entered the main hall, Han Zhan introduced to Hua Hu: "This is Zhao Yun, the Marquis of Qu Jun, and Zhao Zilong, a real man from Changshan, who is the Queen of Nanyue King." Family background can effectively improve a person's status.Otherwise, why would Liu Bei always say "Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan" every time he protects his family.

This kind of introduction from him was really effective immediately, Huahu put away the contempt on his face, but crossed his hands to salute, and said respectfully: "It turns out that it is the queen of Nanyue King, Huahu has met Zhao Junhou."

Zhao Yun hurriedly returned the gift: "Yun has met the flower master Bo."
