After listening to Yan Qing's polite apology, the man realized that he was being abrupt, and shamefully revealed his identity and that of his friend, "My name is Cui, my first name is Jun, my last name is Chuping, I am a native of Anping, Zhuo County, and I am now the governor of the Western River. This is Jun's best friend, Xu Fu Xu Yuan Zhi."

Xu Fu was originally sizing up this world-famous figure in a leisurely manner, and upon hearing this, he put away his feather fan and bowed to Yan Qing: "I have long admired Chong Guang's strange and righteous plans, and Fu deeply respects them."

See Yan Qing first confused, then face understanding, and finally friendly smile, Cui Jun also relieved, salute: "Since Chang'an in General Lu's residence, I have missed Mr. elegance, and then heard that Mr.'s resourcefulness and loyalty and righteousness is widely known throughout the world, and even more so that I am breathtaking, the heart of the desire to go on. Today, I am fortunate to meet you here again, and I was overjoyed and lost my manners, so I hope you won't blame me for this."

"The only reason I am loyal to you is because Lu Bu, the Lord Qing serves, is loyal to the Emperor, and Qing is just doing his duty, how can he deserve such a great honor?" Yan Qing's words were earnest, not taking any credit for himself, leaving it all out while trying to whitewash Lu Bu: "Qing is very ashamed! Please do not mention it again to Zhou Ping and Yuan Zhi, just call Qing Chong Guang."

Hearing Yan Qing say this, Xu Shu and Cui Jun could not help but look at each other with admiration in their eyes.

Not really listen to his defense of Lu Bu without leaving any room for error, but on the contrary, to the indifferent to fame and fortune, humble people do not take credit for, to the truth is also straight to the truth of his good feelings more flourishing.

Before Dong Zhuo's death, the people who came to Lu Bu's residence to pay a visit to seek an audience were as many as crucian carp, both unknown to take a chance, but also the status of the prominent people to ask Lu Bu, the big red man before Dong Zhuo, a second, Yan Qing is really do not remember to have seen Cui Jun.

However, he did not doubt Cui Jun's words, for one thing, the other party is the hall of the governor, what is the meaning of deceiving him? Secondly, he is not a stranger to the names of Cui Zuping and Xu Shu, and he even calls them "thunderous".

Carrying Xu Fu out alone, if it is placed in the Qin Dynasty, it will only remind people of the miraculous doctor who went out to sea for Qin Shi Huang in search of the immortality elixir, if it is placed in the modern era, it is a well-known brand of sweets and pastries, Xu Fu Ji, but at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is also closely tied to Cui Jun Cui Zhou Ping, Yan Qing only wants to get one person.

Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, a native of Changsha, Yingchuan, was originally known as Xu Fu.

Yan Qing remembers, Xu Shu as early as three years ago to avenge the hatred of others and got into trouble with the lawsuit, was bound to the street, almost executed, but fortunately there are friends to save before escaping, from the change of name to Xu Shu, folded the section of the school, read the scriptures and rituals of the learning of the heart and painstakingly hard to change the former wrong of the will to become a Confucian, but also made some new friends who do not mind that his reputation has a tainted.

He should have changed his name and, for some reason, still befriended himself under his old name.

Yan Qing did a good job of concealing his pondering, trying to grope his way to a topic they were both interested in, and then going along with the eloquent conversation.

Later, the body of the talent of the Wolong Zhuge Liang, in the initial most people are on the self-comparison of the pipe Zhong's him disdain, only this two people in front of me firmly believe that he chest wizards strategy, he has much respect, the fact that also proved that they have a unique eye.

Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not. Based on this good vision of recognizing and recommending people, Yan Qing thought that he was too much stronger than he was purely speculative.

The current Zhuge Liang is still just an eleven year old brat, and even if Yan Qing finds the Zhuge family, he will not be able to find a good excuse to befriend them, but through Xu Shu and Cui Jun it is different.

Zhuge Liang's end for the time being, the coming day, the focus is Xu Shu himself is also rare high Yin, to see the eye of the Lord loyal, once he temperament, determined to serve, is a proper lifetime thing, even if the other side of the good to him can not move him, full of the nature of the person, even the thirst for talent Cao Cao took great pains to catch his mother to do hostage, and fell in the end only dusty and had a The last thing I want to do is to get a piece of jewelry and have to admit that I am not a good person.

Yan Qing's mind quickly lively, not at all anxious to meet with Zhang Liao, although he held a hot bun in one hand, the body of the robe is not very clean, but there is a kind of debauchery and unrestrained style of the celebrities, while walking with the two people in a pleasant manner to talk, in a short while on the level of seniority up.

Before the crossing of the Yan Qing in the social aspect is deservedly capable of people, know the knack of throwing their favorite, can be described as exquisite in all aspects of the world, long-sleeved and good dance, seldom make enemies. After the crossing is more prophetic advantage, easily will be good to make friends with a wide range of talent to play to the extreme.

To exaggerate a little, as long as he was willing, he knew the temperament of all the famous soldiers and generals like the back of his hand, and he was able to make everyone talk to him and feel like they hated each other.

Not to mention the fact that Cui Jun, who already appreciated Yan Qing's personality and talent, was deeply attracted by his charming speech, even Xu Shu, who was initially out of the picture and very reticent, was gradually opened up, shaking off his reserve and speaking more and more gabblingly and freely.

Cui Jun happy to see the appreciation of the two befriended, see close to noon, simply strike while the iron is hot, took the initiative to propose: "If Chung Kwong does not mind, may wish to come with Yuan Zhi Jun mansion to talk about, although there is no what wine and food, there are also a few wine and tea, how about allowing me to set up a banquet hospitality a back?"

Xu Shu also shouted, and his friendship to the thick Cui Jun can not help but laugh and scold him: "In the past I invited Yuan Zhi ten times, also do not see a shadow, this time but uninvited!"

Xu Shu but smiled without saying anything, rightly regarded as acquiescence, Cui Jun helplessly shook his head, "Good wow good, what a righteous and upright brother Yuanzhi!"

Yan Qing laughed, "Now that the two of you are so gracious, Qing will be obliged."

I've been begging for it since, and I'm glad to go.

Although Cui Jun's residence in Hongnong is not grand and opulent, it has a unique interior, and the side corridors and courtyards are all chic, so it seems that the owner has put a lot of effort into arranging them. Yan Qing in the construction of a more or less some experience, and not like other guests invited by Cui Jun as one-dimensional praise, but intentionally or unintentionally on its most pleased to comment on the subtleties of one or two, but more so that Cui Jun feel comfortable with the body.

It is said that there is only light wine and small dishes, but Cui Jun is from Boling Cui Clan, which is the descendant of a real famous family, and secondly, he is in the position of the governor of West River, so how can he tolerate to show a little bit of clumsiness when treating the rare honored guests in his heart? Delicacies and fine wines were sent to the table like flowing water, Yan Qing and Xu Shu were not shocked by the honor and disgrace, and accepted them calmly, which made Cui Jun, who is good at making friends with heroes, look happy.

He didn't know that he had actually invited the wolf into the house and invited back a digging devil who was very good in the field of deception.

After three rounds of wine, when Cui Jun asked about how Yan Qing will be alone at this time, Yan Qing face difficult: "I'm not hiding from you two, the reason why Qing is here, but the result of an accident, the original important business in the body, not good to stay long, for fear of failing to live up to the hospitality."

"Surprisingly so." Cui Jun deeply regretted a pause, knowing that involving Lu Bu's military matters, the shallow words is the great taboo of the gentleman's friendship, it is not good to ask in detail, only sympathetic: "No wonder Jun saw Chong Guang clothes damaged, could it be that he met bandits roaming outside the country?"

Yan Qing laughed bitterly: "Qing inadvertently deep behind the enemy, lucky to have a few points of self-preservation, wrestling with its gullible heart from the tiger's mouth to escape, the next time will not see this luck."

Xu Shu couldn't help but have him measured from head to toe again, and even more felt that he was to his liking, not sparingly admiring: "I don't want Chong Guang to be a sword-fighting warrior's temperament."

Belt don't Lu Bu personally gifted sword, in fact, usually only a few good-looking moves to practice to strengthen the body by the way to pretend to be a bully, the critical situation is more to be used as a cover when throwing the "kill" card, Yan Qing listen to Xu Shu this real former swordsman praised, half of the red face, said: "carve worm skill, called Yuan straight fallacy praises. "

Xu Shu frowned: "the official army for a long time no action, let it outside the rampage, to the passing merchants and pedestrians to murder," he sighed, involuntarily put his hand on a long time not used the waist sword, the heart of the pathos, the only sigh: "This is a chaotic people of the common misfortune! "

Cui Jun, however, sensed some slight clues and said tentatively, "Can it be that the responsibility of re-lighting has fallen on these bandits?"

Yan Qing nodded, without blinking began his skillful blabbering: "Precisely. My lord hates disturbing the people of the locust thieves for a long time, this goes to report on the way, there is also a together in addition to the violence of the heart of peace, just clear worry about this move has overstepped the suspicion of the role, sell as a counter bad jealousy, will volunteer to first come to probe a bit."

Cui Jun frowned slightly, wordlessly sipping his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately pressed on without opening his mouth.

As a member of the coalition that once attempted to cut down Dong, although he and Lu Bu fronted each other not even once, but this person with the courage of a roaring tiger, in the Tiger's Nest Pass and the battle with the three British and still unhurt, the whole body retreated from the mighty has been famous in the heavens, and at the same time, he saw the benefits of forgetting righteousness and repeatedly backing up the capriciousness of the master is also widely rumored.

It was a far cry from the great perception of Ying Wei who had a heart of worry for the country and a body of Ying Qi's strategy, as stated in the mouth of Yan Qing whom he greatly admired.

Were those rumors deliberately distorting the facts, or was Yan Qing, who had done great service to His Majesty and was amazingly talented and elegant, speaking out of turn?

Cui Jun unconsciously and vaguely favored the former.

"General love the people like a son is certainly worthy of praise, but the concern of Mr. is not superfluous, according to the view of Fu, suspected that this place officials and bandits have collusion with the dirty phase, is to be prudent to act, avoid suspicion for the time being." Even he is so, Xu Shu is listening to the nodding, sorry to put forward pertinent views.

Naturally, he also hated Dong Zhuo, the evil thief who plagued the government and made the people's lives unbearable. At the beginning of the year, he suffered a lot from it, but he couldn't bear it any longer, so he stayed away from Central China to avoid the disaster, and went to Jingzhou with his fellow townsmen.

Lu Bu this person is profit-oriented, light cunning repeated qualities, although he has heard, but always retained the view. After all, he is not a pure literati, as a swordsman when chivalry, but also made his reputation tainted, know the good people inverted black and white of the power of how deep, just hate him to have the courage to be unkind, for the tiger to help. As a result, I recently heard that Lu Bu is really hibernating in the power of loyalty, emergency not only beheaded the court rage to attack the saint of Dong Zhuo, but also to suppress the remnants of the party to help abuse by means of thunder, his impression will be greatly improved, so Yan Qing this nonsense, he does not fully believe, but also not much suspicion.

Yan Qing's jade-like glistening white cheeks were already slightly intoxicated as she sighed at his words, "It's true! It seems that Qing is destined to return from this trip without any success."

"Failure to witness the general's heroic posture to rid the people of harm is also a great regret." Xu Shu and Cui Jun share the same feeling of strangulation, and Yan Qing pushes cups and exchanges margaritas for a while, Xu Shu suddenly asks, "Fu has a question, I don't know if Chongguang is willing to answer it."

Yan Qing knew that the meat of the show was coming, his eyes were clear, and there was no hint of real drunkenness - just kidding, modern white dryer could not easily put him down, let alone some low purity liquor - he put down the wine bottle without panic:" Yuan Zhi but there is no harm in asking."
