After Xu Kang finished speaking, Guan Yu couldn't help but look at him strangely.

Luo'er also urged her mother to speak quickly.

Although Mrs. Zhen was still a little hesitant, she thought that she could not find a suitable candidate for the time being, so she said: "My son received news half a month ago that someone had seen traces of my little girl in Taishan Mansion, so my son brought a few followers with him, Starry Night

Rush there. Unexpectedly, this morning, a follower came to report that my son had a conflict with a strongman from Taishan Mansion. The strongman captured my son and threatened to kill him to vent his anger. I wonder if my son is still alive?"

After Mrs. Zhen finished speaking, she was already in tears and was in pain.

Xu Kang immediately patted his chest and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will rush to Taishan Mansion with Brother Guan and we will definitely rescue Mr. Ling."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen bowed down and said: "If I can save my son's life, the old woman will tie a grass ring to repay her great kindness."

Xu Kang quickly turned sideways and returned the salute: "Luo'er and I are brothers and sisters. His brother is my brother, so how can we not save him? However, I also have a merciless request."

"Mr. Xu, please speak." Mrs. Zhen sat upright and said.

Xu Kang saluted and said, "Fortunately, Madam has generously given me these four boxes of thank-you gifts, but I am disrespectful. However, I want to exchange them all for grain. I don't know how much grain I can exchange for."

"Food?" Mrs. Zhen asked puzzledly: "If Mr. Xu is short of food, just ask, the old woman will do her best."

"Madam, you don't have to be polite. The more food I need, the better. So please tell me the truth, madam."

Mrs. Zhen also had some courage, otherwise she would not have been able to support such a large family business after her husband's death. She immediately said: "If Mr. Xu can rescue the child safely, the old woman is willing to donate 10,000 dan of food."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the hall was stunned. Xu Kang has been here for a few months, and he also knows some of the measurement units of this era. As a unit of weight, small ones have qi baht, large ones have jin liang. Larger ones have jin liang.

It's Sheng, Dou, Shi. To be precise, these don't count.

It is a unit of weight, but a unit of capacity. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were usually converted according to the base 10 system. One liter is approximately equal to 2 kilograms, 4 jins, and one stone is 400 jins. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhen said 10,000 jins when she opened her mouth.

, this is nearly 4 million kilograms of grain.

Xu Kang was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, bowed deeply and said: "So, thank you Madam Zhen, I will do my best to ensure that the young master does not get hurt at all."

Mrs. Zhen returned the greeting: "That matter should not be delayed. You two should take a rest first. The old lady will arrange everything so that you two can set off as soon as possible."

After Xu Kang and Guan Yu went down, the housekeeper Zhen Huan asked: "Do you really want to give them 10,000 shi of grain?"

Mrs. Zhen nodded and said: "If they can keep my son safe, what does 10,000 shi of food mean? There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Go make arrangements quickly and make sure to rescue my son as soon as possible."

"Yes." Zhen Huan agreed, bowed and stepped back.

On the other side, Guan Yu asked doubtfully: "How do you ask for food? And you need so much?"

"Actually, after careful calculation, these don't seem to be much." Xu Kang thought for a while and said: "You think that when we came all the way from Youzhou, we saw mostly dry weather with little rain. The drought has already appeared, and

It's obviously not just one place, but probably the whole country. When the time comes, food prices will inevitably rise sharply, and I don't know how many civilians will starve to death on the streets. After careful calculation, if these 10,000 shi of food are distributed, it will only be 100,000

It’s just enough food for a few days.”

Guan Yu looked at Xu Kang in surprise and said: "100,000 people? You said it so easily. What kind of scene is that, do you know?"

Xu Kang smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, it's much more cost-effective to buy food now than to buy other things. Why not?"

Guan Yu saw that he had made up his mind and said no more.

Soon, Mrs. Zhen prepared several good horses for the two of them, plus a cavalry team of dozens of people. So the two of them set off together with dozens of Zhen family cavalry, and rushed to Taishan Mansion at starry night.

On the way, Xu Kang learned the whole story from the servant who escaped from Zhen's Mansion. In fact, it was not a big deal. It was just an occasional conflict among his subordinates. In addition, the young man was so angry that he started fighting after a disagreement. The only reason was that

What Xu Kang didn't expect was that he originally thought that the other party was able to take down Zhen Yan and others by relying on the strength of their numbers. However, from what he said, only one person from the other party took action, and that person looked very young, but he was only 17 or 8 years old.

It's only 2 years old. Xu Kang knew that he might encounter a master again this time, but as long as Guan Yu was by his side, did he have anything to worry about?

Everyone worked hard and arrived in Hua County, Taishan County in five days.

Outside the city, Xu Kang asked: "The other party really announced his name as Sun Guan?"

"yes."

"What exactly did he tell you then?"

"He said, 'If you want to save your young master, go to Hua County to find Sun Guan.'"

"In that case, you all should disperse. This is already Hua County. Now you go and ask around and be sure to find everyone named Sun Guan."

"Yes," dozens of riders responded at the same time, and then dispersed into the city.

In an ordinary house in Huaxian County, there were four people shouting, drinking, gambling and boxing. These four people were all young, but they were having a great time.

Suddenly, a person rushed into the house in a panic. The four of them were startled. After seeing the person clearly, one of them said angrily: "You are so anxious to reincarnate. I thought you were the one who hurt me."

Dad is here to arrest me, what happened?"

The man who bumped in said: "Brother Zang, it's bad, dozens of big men on horseback have come to the city, and they are everywhere asking about Sun Guan's whereabouts."

The next person said with a puzzled face: "Ask about my whereabouts, why?" This person was obviously Sun Guan.

The man said: "Even the little ones don't know."

Another person among the four asked: "I said, Sun Guan, have you gotten into any trouble again? Why do you have so many people coming to your door?"

Sun Guanqiang argued: "No way, haven't I been with you these past few days?"

Brother Zang said: "No matter what the other party dares to come to Hua County, how can we four brothers not say hello to him?"

"But what if your father finds out?"

When Brother Zang heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Wu Dun, what do you think we should do? We can't let the reputation of our four brothers be diminished."

"What do you have in mind?" Wu Dun said, "Let's go and see what's going on first. If we want to fight, we can just make an appointment outside the city."

When Zang Ba heard this, he suddenly felt polite and said, "Okay, let's leave now."

Xu Kang and Guan Yu were waiting for news from everyone at the gate of Nancheng. Unexpectedly, they were greeted by several aggressive young men. The four leaders were all handsome and mighty young men. One of them stepped forward and said, "It's you two.

Find me, Sun Guan."

Xu Kang looked him up and down and said, "You are Sun Guan."

"That's right. That's XX." Sun Guan also looked back at him and said, "What do you want from XX?"

Xu Kang cupped his fists and said, "Do you still remember that there was a young master named Zhen Yan a few days ago?"

"Zhen Yan?" Sun Guan lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Oh, you mean that sick young master? I know. So you are looking for him."

"Exactly. I hope Brother Sun can return my young master. I'm very grateful."

"Haha." Sun Guan sneered and said, "You can let it go as you say? I won't let it go, what can you do to me?"

Xu Kang smiled and said, "What will it take for Brother Sun to let him go?"

"It's very simple. As long as you win these fists in my hand, I will let you go."

Xu Kang shook his head and said: "My abilities are low and I am really no match for Brother Sun. I hope that Brother Sun will have more people and let me go."

"I can let you go, but I'm afraid that Mr. Zhen will--"

Xu Kang frowned and said, "Brother Sun, do you have to compare?"

"Where does all this nonsense come from. A man walks in the world with only a pair of fists and a body of blood. If you don't dare, just retreat quickly and don't make grandpa angry."

Xu Kang sighed: "Since we have to compare, let's ask Brother Sun for advice."

"No, no, no." Sun Guan suddenly waved his hand and said, "It's not possible here. If you want to fight, then we will go to the woods of Xishan Mountain."

Xu Kang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Sun wanted to fight, why did it become us? But forget it, Xishan Forest, please lead the way from Brother Sun. But let us first see how our young master Zhen Yan is doing now

."

"Okay, no problem. If you're cool enough, let's go now." After finishing speaking, Sun Guan led the way proudly.

In the woods of Xishan Mountain, Xu Kang saw the young man who was being escorted. Although his expression was sluggish, he didn't seem to be injured. Xu Kang said to a nurse in the Zhen Mansion, "Is it him?"

"Yes." The nurse immediately said.

"That's good."

"How's it going? Has it been confirmed? Now do you want to compete with weapons, or do you want to fight with bare hands?"

"Brother Sun seems to have misunderstood. The person competing with Brother Sun is not me, but my elder brother." Xu Kang invited Guan Yu out. He said: "I am young and have low abilities. Even if Brother Sun wins, it will not count.

He cannot be a hero. However, my brother has learned some skills and can compete with Brother Sun."

"It's him." Sun looked at Guan Yu, was silent for a while, and said, "Who are you?"

"Guan Yu."

Although Sun Guan was belligerent, he was not reckless. Seeing Guan Yu just standing there, he steadily suppressed his momentum. Knowing that the opponent's strength was superior to his, he said: "Although you are two brothers, the four of us are

Brothers always advance and retreat together, are you sure that the two of you can deal with the four of us?" He deliberately mentioned Xu Kang, but in fact it was just to save face, and it was really not nice to say it to Biji four to one.

"No need. I am enough."

"We are four brothers."

"It doesn't matter."

Guan Yu's arrogance finally angered the four brothers. The elder brother Zang said: "Your Excellency is very confident. Do you think that you alone can deal with our four brothers?"

Guan Yu replied lazily, closed his eyes gently, and said: "If you want to fight, then fight."

"Okay." Sun Guan said angrily: "Let me, Sun Guan, learn a lesson first." After saying that, he jumped up and punched Guan Yu. He even forgot about the plan of four against one, which shows that he is now
