The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 262 0263, Zhuge Qi, a poor scholar

There are many literati in the northeast of Qingzhou, and tens of thousands of literati leave there every year.Those from families with good conditions go to travel around the states, while those from families with poor conditions go to Sizhou to take the exam.

Sizhou was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also the dream place of many literati from poor families.They seldom go out since they were young, and they have to walk such a long way when they go out for the first time.From the northeast of Qingzhou to Sizhou, no matter how you go around, you have to pass through the border of Jizhou or Yanzhou.

Zhuge Qi is an honest man, born as an out-and-out literati, and his parents are both serious farmers.But he is not a child who keeps his own way. He likes to read all kinds of military books since he was a child.Self-taught to be able to watch the stars at night, and in the end, he was able to make a fortune for others.

He did fortune-telling just to verify whether his reasoning was correct, but he never thought of using that method to support his family.Or how can it be said that he is a scholar who is useless, and Zhuge Qi is already an adult at this moment.It's just that he is still studying, so his parents need to provide for food and clothing.

The biggest wish of Zhuge Qi's parents is that their son can go to Sizhou to take an exam.With their son's level, it shouldn't be a problem to get into the top three.

Don't talk about whether you are an official or not, first get the fame and then go home to find a partner.Having fame is completely different from not having fame. Finding a partner with fame is a breeze.The old couple did not want their son to be rich and powerful, but only hoped that his son could get married as soon as possible.

Zhuge Qi carried a small bag and set off from the northeast of Qingzhou three days ago, and arrived at the northwest border of Qingzhou three days later.He had already planned a route for himself, and this route was the shortest way to Sizhou.As long as he followed this route, he would reach Sizhou within five days.

Zhuge Qi came to Deyang County, which is the closest to the northwest border of Qingzhou.It was supposed to go directly to the border of Yanzhou, but encountered a violent storm on the way.I stayed in Deyang County for one night, and when I was driving the next day, I went in the wrong direction and broke into an unintentional area that many people dare not go.

It was Zhuge Qi's unlucky thing to say, if others go this way, at most they will run into some gangsters.They will not rob you directly, but will charge you a certain amount of tolls.This toll fee is equivalent to the protection fee, but it is better than the name of the protection fee.

But Zhuge Qi was really unlucky, he didn't meet so many gangs, but he happened to meet the most difficult gang to deal with.And the leader is a woman, a hot girl who calls herself Hu Lan.Behind him stood more than a dozen brothers, holding a big knife at the intersection.Specially waiting for all kinds of passers-by, but Hu Lan has a hobby.

I don't like money or food, but I like tall and handsome men.She never pays attention to other things, except that she cannot be without a man who accompanies her every day.Not because she has this need, but because she has this hobby.Needs and hobbies are not the same thing. A need is a need to do something, and a hobby is simply a need for someone to be with.

When Zhuge Qi appeared in front of Hu Lan, he wrapped his head tightly with clothes.Hu Lan didn't care at all, and was almost let go.It was Zhuge Qi's voice that hurt him, Hu Lan asked him to take off the clothes wrapped around his head, and then he saw a face that was more delicate than a woman's.

Be good to me, there are still men with such delicate skin and tender flesh in the world.Not to mention Hu Lan, even the dozen or so brothers behind him all stared.If it weren't for Hu Lan being too tough, I'm afraid they would have to go up to inspect the goods now.

Hu Lan said, let Zhuge Qi go home with her.As long as he is obedient, he will definitely be let go, provided that Zhuge Qi must satisfy Hu Lan.

There is a time limit for the exam. If you miss the general exam every four years, you will have to wait another four years.Zhuge Qi begged Hu Lan if he could wait for him to finish the exam before coming to accompany her.He is just a scholar, so he doesn't know what Hu Lan is thinking.But he has no power to restrain the chicken, the only thing he can do is to deal with Hu Lan.

Hu Lan disagreed, and ordered Zhuge Qi to be tied up and taken away immediately, but she had already made up her mind.I'm afraid she won't go out these few days. With such a tall and handsome man, she must stay at home more and avoid going out to gossip.

There are no strong women in this world. It is only because many men do not live up to expectations that many strong women have evolved.Strong women are actually little women, but they will always maintain the strength of strong women until they meet a real man.If you have no sense of security, you can only protect yourself. If you have a sense of security, you will become a little woman.

Zhuge Qi said that if Hu Lan insisted on taking him away, he would bite his tongue and kill himself.Hu Lan found something and stuffed it into Zhuge Qi's mouth. Not only could he not speak now, but he couldn't bite his tongue and kill himself.

It is said that the Three No matter area is very chaotic, no one appears here during the day, and no one appears here at night.Yang Zhi and Lin Chong were very unconvinced and wanted to see the rampant gangs here.Of course he is not afraid of martial arts, but Long Fei will not fool around with the two of them.

Turning around in the most serious area of ​​​​three regardless, just as the two were about to return to Deyang City, they suddenly saw a group of more than a dozen people galloping away.The first rider is a woman, and a man tied into a rice dumpling is placed on the horse's back.Just as he was about to disappear from the sight of the two, the gagged man suddenly yelled for help.

Seeing the injustice, Lu roared, and acted when it was time to act.As soon as the two heard someone calling for help, they immediately galloped to catch up with the dozen or so people.Standing in front of the leading woman, Yang Zhi was holding the treasured saber, and Lin Chong was holding the Zhangba Snake Spear.The two cover each other, one on the left and one on the right, and slowly approach the female leader.Yang Zhi and Lin Chong didn't recognize the marks on their bodies. It didn't matter which gang they belonged to. Anyway, they came to Deyang to develop their business.

People who work together are enemies. There are so many gangs in Deyang County. If the Yellow Turban Gang wants to set up a branch here, it may be more difficult than finding a rooster that can lay eggs.

Yang Zhi met Hu Lan who was robbing him, and Lin Chong snatched Zhuge Qi who was lying on Hu Lan's horse.The two did not love to fight, and ran away immediately after robbing someone.Are you kidding me, this is a well-known no-regret area in the Eastern Han Dynasty, maybe a bunch of guys who want to take advantage of it will emerge from other places.

Both Lin Chong and Yang Zhi are veterans in the battlefield, and when fighting in places where they don't know the specific situation, they must adopt quick-fix tactics.Even if you suffer a small loss, you must fight the scene thoroughly as soon as possible.

The two returned to the house bought by Long Fei, and this was the home of the three of them.When buying this house, the three had disagreements. Both Lin Chong and Yang Zhi wanted to rent this house.But the rent is not cheap. According to the conversion at the time, the rent of more than ten years is enough to buy it.

Long Fei made a decisive decision and spent one-third of the box of jewels to buy this house.This is also the first property of the three of them. This kind of property will not depreciate in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the appreciation rate is very slow.

After taking the robbed person back to the house, they only thought of asking the person's name at this moment.The man said that his name was Zhuge Qi, he was from Qingzhou, and he was going to Sizhou to take the quadrennial exam.Long Fei is a cultural person, so he was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhuge Qi.Yang Zhi is a rough man, and those who admire him are scholars.

Lin Chong is both civil and military, and he is very polite to Zhuge Qi.Since they were all from Qingzhou, the three of them naturally couldn't wrong Zhuge Qi.Buy good wine and good food to entertain him, and then give him some money.It's getting late today and we'll be on the road tomorrow, so Zhuge Qi stayed in Qingzhou for another night.

This night Zhuge Qi drank a lot of wine, Long Fei and the three of them also drank a lot of wine.The three of them did nothing less than tell the truth after drinking, and this time they told Zhuge Qi about their ideals when they were drunk.Talk about Long Fei's experience, talk about the promises Long Fei made to others, and talk about the career they will achieve in the future.

What Zhuge Qi heard was blood surging, and in the end he took the initiative to pour wine for the three of them, and then bowed to the three of them sincerely.Since ancient times, literati are so noble, they would rather bend than bend and be arrogant.Literati have the strength of character of literati, although they are down and out, they never eat the food that comes from them.Although their family is poor, they always adhere to the principles.

Zhuge Qi is not an idler, although many people in his hometown look down on him.But this does not affect his pursuit of ideals, nor does it affect his continued efforts to realize his ideals.

His parents wanted him to start a family early because he was old enough to start a family.But he doesn't think so, his goal is not to spend his life doing nothing.He has great ambitions, but lacks opportunities and like-minded people.

Now that he has met, Zhuge Qi has finally met his bosom friend.He hasn't expressed his thoughts to the other party, but the other party has already spoken out for him.

The world is so big that there is no shelter, and the world is so vast that there is no home.Zhuge Qi has always wanted to live a life where the world is his home, but what he wants most is to change the previous situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Eunuchs do politics and the people don't have a living, internal and external troubles make people miserable.At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was already living on its laurels.Especially Han Lingdi, who is in power at the moment, only thinks about two things every day.The first is to admit more beauties into the palace, and the second is how to make money.

He was the first emperor who dared to do this and did it very vigorously, and he clearly marked the price of all official positions.Whoever has the money can buy an official to sit and sit. Once there is someone who bids higher, then he can only feel sorry for the person who has no money to increase the price.

According to folk rumors, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty liked beautiful women the most, but anyone who caught his fancy would be recruited into the palace.Other emperors had no more than 500 beauties in their harem at most, and even the most awesome emperor in history had no more than [-] beauties in their harem.But as for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were over ten thousand beauties in the harem in its heyday.

In other words, it would take 30 years for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to accompany a beauty every day to take another turn.From his succession to his death, he has not been able to visit the beauties of the harem once.

It is inappropriate to talk about business after drinking, the three of them were drunk, and Zhuge Qi, who was half drunk and half awake, sat until dawn.After dawn, Long Fei asked Lin Chong and Yang Zhi to escort Zhuge Qi, but Zhuge Qi politely refused.

He asked the same question as last night again, and got the same answer from the three of them.Save the common people in the world from suffering, and make unremitting efforts to realize the ideal.Even if one day you die on the way to charge, don't regret your life by doing nothing.

They have the same dream, so they are destined to come together.Long Fei did not keep Zhuge Qi, but Zhuge Qi offered to stay.

From now on, Zhuge Qi is Long Fei's number one military adviser. In the subsequent development and transformation, these three words will cause a sensation in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty and leave a strong mark in the history books.
