Countless martyrs forged the backbone of the great man

Luoyang East Market is known as the most prosperous market in the entire Han Dynasty. The wine shops with red beams and glazed tiles look particularly grand.

Today is special, almost all the restaurants near the ring are full of customers. The wealthy clans disdain to gather around the ring and shout with ordinary people, so there are many people who book restaurants.

But because there were so many people who had to book the restaurant, in the end, the restaurant owners didn't dare to offend anyone, so they could only give each big family a perfect seat by the window.

Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong were sitting at one of the windows.

Because both of them were wearing red Confucian robes, they looked particularly conspicuous...

"Qiaozi, Caizi!"

"Student Xun Yu pays homage to the two gentlemen."

Liu Yu and Xun Yu spoke separately.

"Sit." Qiao Xuan stretched out his hand with a smile. He looked out the window, as if he was carefully observing the two people who were about to face each other on the ring.

At this time, Duan Jiao was holding a sword and was slashing continuously, making sounds of breaking through the air, as if he was testing a weapon.

"Maodun" carries the scimitar on his shoulder, looking very patient.

Cai Yong opened his mouth and said: "Duan Jiming is also very old, and it is really rare for him to work so hard."

Hearing this, Qiao Xuan stroked his beard. "No matter how old Duan Jiming is, he can't be older than me. He was dismissed from the title of Taiwei because he was the eunuch, and I lost the title of Taiwei because of his unobtrusive speech. Presumably, he and I

I feel the same way. Sometimes, if I don’t give it a try, I always feel itchy!”

Speaking of this, Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Yu. "Guanzhu Liu said, right?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly and nodded in greeting. "Qiaozi, Caizi, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The most urgent matter is that we still have to stand on General Duan's side. After all, it is about the northern border. Whether we can win this challenge is crucial."

.”

Qiao Xuan has a beard.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Cai Yong added, "I originally came here with Lan'er in my arms to see her, but Wu Niang said it's a girl's house, what's the point of killing her? She took her back again!"

Lan'er in Cai Yong's mouth was the nickname of Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji. As for Wuniang, known as Zhao Wuniang, she was Cai Yong's wife.

While talking...

The figures on the ring turned around, and Duan Jiao and "Maodun" were fighting together.

Although Duan Qiao is older, he dances with a dagger like a tiger and a tiger. When it is opened and closed, the power is so powerful that all the onlookers are shocked, and they completely forget his age.

On the other hand, Mao Dun's body skills were strange and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. He just used his footsteps and body skills to avoid Duan Jiao's offensive.

After a few rounds, Duan Jiao's wide open and close sword skills were like punching cotton, with no strength at all. On the contrary, "Mao Dun" was always able to do it with ease.

"Oops." Xun Yu shook his head.

"What did Wen Ruo see?" Liu Yu asked.

Xun Yu's face was extremely ugly. Although he was not good at martial arts, due to family reasons, he had watched martial arts masters practice a lot, so he could see at a glance the purpose of Duan Juan's style of play and the defensive methods of Mao Dun.

"General Duan thought about his age, so he attacked like a storm from the beginning, but Mao Dun was extremely smart. He avoided his edge. This was in vain to consume General Duan. Such an attack... It won't be long before General Duan is afraid

It’s about exhaustion.”

After saying this, Liu Yu nodded. "Wen Ruo's eyesight is indeed amazing!"

I heard the word "exhausted".

Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan cast a meaningful look at Liu Yu.

Seeing that on the ring, one was attacking and the other was hiding, with no overlap at all, and the whole competition seemed boring. Liu Yu turned his eyes back to the table, raised the tea cup, and took a sip.

at this time.

"Tap..."

"Tap..."

Quite noisy footsteps came from the stairs of the wine shop. Because the sound was very noisy, it seemed that there were at least a dozen people going upstairs, so it suddenly attracted the attention of everyone in the wine shop.

Liu Yu couldn't help but look over.

Just when Liu Yu raised his eyes to see the two leaders clearly, there were already members of the aristocratic family in the wine shop saluting the two leaders.

"Ouch...which gust of wind blew Changshi Zhang over?"

"Taifu Yuan, why are you here too?"

The Zhang Changshi they talked about was naturally Zhang Rang, the first of the ten Changshis;

As for Grand Tutor Yuan, who else could there be besides Yuan Wei, the imperial master of the dynasty and the Grand Tutor of the Yuan family in Runan?

The name of a person and the shadow of a tree, these two are the most popular figures among today's great men!

Liu Yu subconsciously glanced at them a few more times.

Let’s talk about Zhang Rang first. To Liu Yu’s surprise, he turned out to be very handsome.

The face is like a sculpture with clear features, a head of thick black hair, and under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, the slender peach blossom eyes are particularly eye-catching.

He has a high nose bridge and moderately thick red lips with a dazzling smile.

Yuan Wei was the exact opposite of him. He was tall, with deep eyes and thin lips. There were two deep lines around his mouth and nose. He had a slightly sinister temperament, but he showed a peaceful smile as soon as he went upstairs.

Zhang Rang ignored everyone who greeted him, while Yuan Kai returned the greeting while walking towards Liu Yu's table.

Liu Yu subconsciously thought that they were here to visit Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong, but he never thought...the two of them walked in front of Liu Yu.

Yuan Wei first greeted Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong, and then smiled and said with emotion to Liu Yu: I have seen the path of heroes all over the world, I bow my head to the Liu Lang in Yulin, and I have heard about the Master of Guanliu in Yulin for a long time, but I can't think of it...Today in this wine shop

I can see my true face."

Hearing this, Zhang Rang curled his lips. He had heard that the master of Yulin Guanliu Temple had come to this "Kingto Drinking" tavern. He was keen and immediately noticed that this was an opportunity to win over this "Qilin Talented Man".

Serving beside the Emperor, Zhang Rang could feel the tremendous energy of Yulin Temple.

Furthermore, since Liu Yu is a Taoist, it would be even more difficult for him to become an official in the court. If he could be roped in to join the eunuch family, the Shichangshi would be able to help him, which would also be of great benefit to the eunuch family.

Yuan Wei also had the same idea. Yuan Feng was a bit more reckless. He meant to use all resources to prevent Taoists from entering the temple, but Yuan Wei had a different view.

What if this Taoist is attached to their Yuan family?

So what's the harm in helping him?

Besides, according to the idea of ​​the Yuan family in Runan, they are not planning to support the Tao of Peace among the people in exchange for the imperial court's complete lifting of the party's imprisonment!

Since they are all Taoism?

Can Taiping Dao be attached to it? Can’t Yulin Temple be attached to it?

Yuan Wei and Zhang Rang were going to the same place, and they happened to bump into each other.

"Is this Guanzhu Liu? He was known as the 'Qilin Talent' at a young age. When I take a look today, he is indeed elegant and graceful."

Zhang Rang pinched the orchid with his fingers and opened his mouth and said: "Outside Luoyang City, a large number of refugees poured in. Thanks to the Yulin Monastery's porridge relief and taking in the refugees, we did not cause disaster. Our family has always wanted to report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to give him a gift."

Guanzhu Liu has a half-official position and serves the imperial court, but he doesn't know Guanzhu Liu's attitude and dare not act rashly."

With these words, Zhang Rang had already assumed a very low profile.

These words also made Liu Yu realize that Zhang Rang and Yuan Kai were not here for Qiaozi and Cai Zi, but for him.

Immediately, he replied calmly.

"I grew up without a father or a mother. I was adopted by my master and grew up. I have experienced the hardships of exile. People who have been in the 'rainland' naturally can't help but hold umbrellas for others, help the refugees, and guide Yulin Guanshi to help.

Fu, I am definitely not seeking fame and fortune, and I hope Zhang Changshi won’t misunderstand me.”

Seeing that Zhang Rang was silenced by this soft sentence, Yuan Wei suddenly felt happy and took the opportunity to say.

"This statement is absolutely true. Guanzhu Liu is Guanzhu Liu. He helps the refugees because he himself has been exposed to the rain and cannot bear the rain of others. How can he be like some people who have obvious purposes in everything they do and are trapped by fame and fortune all their lives?

, narrow vision.”

Speaking of this, Yuan Wei glared at Zhang Rang and felt happy.

Immediately, he turned his eyes back again.

"I see that Guanzhu Liu is not very old. Even though he has the talent of a unicorn, the sage Confucius said that 'three people walking together' must have my teacher. My nephew Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​gather the world's talented people in Runan and hold this event every six months."

Guanzhu Liu might as well go and participate in the Runan Decameron, and make friends who are similar in age and have similar interests, which will be of great benefit to the future!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Wei took out something from his arms and handed it to Liu Yu. "If Master Liu is interested, just accept this jade token. Although it is of no great use, students in Runan all know that this jade token belongs to me."

As a personal thing, it is natural to treat Master Liu as the guest of honor during the Decameron."

Although Yuan Wei's voice was soft, as soon as this pure white jade token was revealed, and after a brief introduction, no one knew its weight.

Not to mention Runan, with this piece of jade plaque, he is one of the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and will be treated as an honored guest wherever he goes.

Seeing Liu Yu take the jade token, Zhang Rang, who was at a disadvantage, pursed his lips and watched Liu Yu's reaction with cold eyes.

But Liu Yu gently picked up the tassel of the card with his fingertips, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it, a faint smile flashed across his lips.

He immediately handed the jade plaque to Qiao Xuan.
