The task of reconstruction has been obtained. Originally, A Niu should have sent a large number of talents to Luoyang immediately and carried out reconstruction work drastically. However, a city lord quietly left the territory at this critical moment. Under the leadership of several dark flower martial artists who were old horses who knew the way, he went to the valley where Zheng Xuan lived in seclusion.

"Lord, the place where the old nerd lives is called Qifenggu, and there are seven little nerds with him. Their lives are very hard. Because those nerds can neither grow food nor hunt, they can't even get meat every time they send people out to buy some coarse grains. When they went there last time, they had no money to buy coarse grains. When they saw the dry food and jerky we brought, the nerds' eyes were straight." The martial artist who acted as a guide reported.

A Niu couldn't help but feel funny when he thought of a group of Confucians holding jerky and eating with relish. However, he still said to the martial arts master: "Don't call them nerds. Mr. Zheng Xuan is a famous scholar, and some of his temper is understandable. In order to promote Confucianism, Mr. Zheng Xuan gave up the enlistment of various forces and fled into the mountains to study the scriptures. This ambition is worthy of admiration."

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

After a day of marching, Aniu finally arrived at the so-called Qifeng Valley.

In fact, this was originally a nameless valley. After Zheng Xuan brought his disciples to live in seclusion, he gave this name for the nameless valley, meaning "the place where the phoenix lives". It has to be admitted that escaping from the world did not completely destroy the elegance of Zheng Xuan and others.

The scenery of Qifeng Valley is quiet, and several streams flow quietly along the mountain walls.

It is now early March, and the valley is full of vitality. From time to time, you can see hares and pheasants flashing in the grass. As for the fierce poisonous snakes and beasts, they are missing. If these beasts exist, perhaps Zheng Xuan and others will not be able to live here for a long time.

The dozen simple thatched huts at the bottom of the valley are the residences of Zheng Xuan and his disciples. Seeing the dilapidation of these dozen thatched huts, A Niu felt a little sad. The living environment of the cattle and sheep in Fengxiang Animal Ranch is several times better than that here, not to mention the residences of the villagers. A great scholar of the generation actually lived in such a place for several years.

When A Niu and others arrived at the entrance of Qifeng Valley, several fierce figures flashed out from the hidden place. These people were Fengxiang's martial artists, and were ordered to protect Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others here. The news of the lord's personal arrival soon reached Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan's ears, but only Lu Zhi came out to greet him, and even his disciples did not come out. A Niu had nothing, and all the entourage members were angry.

"I only found out yesterday that A Niu had taken over the task of rebuilding Luoyang, but I was the prefect of Luoyang. I was still wondering if I would go back to Fengxiang to congratulate you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself." Lu Zhi smiled. When he heard the system announcement yesterday, the gentleman was also surprised.

"Mr. Lu's words are serious. Dong Zhuo chaoticized the country and burned the capital to the capital. As a fifth-rank official of the Han Dynasty, how could A Niu watch the capital wither without helping him?"

A certain city lord still had a calm face, and could not see any smug expression. Such a demeanor of arrogance made Lu Zhi highly appreciate it. Lu Zhi noticed the unhappiness of Fengxiang martial artists, sighed in his heart, and whispered to a certain city lord:

"My old friend is a little stubborn, A Niu, don't mind."

He smiled casually, "Mr. Zheng Xuan is a famous master in the country. A Niu is just a latecomer. He has been interested in Mr. Zheng Xuan for a long time. He feels so honorable that he has not been turned away when he comes to visit this time. How can he mind? Mr. Lu needs to introduce A Niu later."

Lu Zhi thought to himself that there was no danger to guard in this valley, and even if he wanted to keep you out, he would not be able to do it. Otherwise, he might really avoid it. But of course these words could not be said, so Lu Zhi still bit the bullet and agreed to introduce it to A Niu.

After a while, A Niu finally met Zheng Xuan.

This great scholar, who is over 60 years old, has a simple appearance, is wearing a Confucian robe with white hair and several patches. The malnutrition caused by the hard living conditions is not affected by his extraordinary temperament. His wise eyes are still as bright as sparks, but his expression and behavior are quite reserved. His disciples are also pale and thin, but they show good cultivation everywhere in their actions. They stand by Zheng Xuan without saying a word, but just curiously looking at the prestigious City Lord Fengxiang.

Among the several disciples behind Zheng Xuan, Jiao Qiao who brought Lu Zhi to find her here. Among the eight disciples, including Jiao Qiao, he only stepped forward to greet A Niu. Jiao Qiao and Lu Zhi stayed in the valley together with Lu Zhi and approved by a certain city lord, and he was still a member of Feng Xiang. When he saw the lord coming, he naturally needed to say hello.

"Mr. is famous in China. Today, Aniu is honored to be able to see the respectful appearance of his husband and the charm of all the virtuous children!" After that, Aniu bowed solemnly and solemnly.

For a great scholar like Zheng Xuan, it is said that A Niu is only a fifth-rank official in the court and a second-level city lord. Even if he is a first-rank official, he will probably not take it seriously. This elder who has devoted his life to promoting Confucianism has firm beliefs and pursuits and will never bow down for some secular things.

"I heard for a long time that the Lord Aniucheng is generous and kind. When I see him today, I feel the style of a gentleman, not as vulgar as the martial artist under your command. The life in the valley is cold, so I would like to forgive the Lord Aniucheng for any inconvenient reception." Zheng Xuan said lightly, and a long-distance greeted him in response. The disciples standing behind him came forward to see him separately.

"I didn't expect that Mr. and all the great disciples could still maintain their love for the classics in such a difficult environment. A Niu felt inferior to this persistence."

"The Lord of Aniu City doesn't know anything. There were dozens of disciples who followed me to Qifeng Valley at first, but life here was too hard, and there were occasionally some beasts in the valley. They were the only ones who could hold on until now." Zheng Xuan sighed, with an indescribable loneliness in his eyes. Between ideals and survival, many disciples had to cry away, which was undoubtedly a regret for Zheng Xuan.

The city lord Fengxiang still has a good reputation in the NPC world. In most NPC minds, Aniu's image is also quite positive. In addition, his humble and polite demeanor, the first impression a certain city lord left on Zheng Xuan and his disciples is quite good.

Faced with such a group of fanatics of classical learning, A Niu naturally would not make things boring about current affairs, war and other topics. When a city lord signaled the martial artists accompanying him to take out the jerky and fruits he brought, the eyes of a group of Confucian scholars suddenly lit up, and the eyes of looking at a city lord were a little more admirable. The years of hard life did not shake their will, but Zi once said "food, sex, nature". While pursuing spiritual satisfaction, it was also a very wonderful thing to be able to comfort his tongue and belly.

When the fragrance of Baihua Wine lingers in the thatched hut, Zheng Xuan's attitude towards A Niu suddenly changed. Baihua Wine, the top ten famous wines in the country, has amazing magic and the atmosphere in the house is even more harmonious.

As the saying goes, "Aniu takes this opportunity to sincerely propose to Zheng Xuan and invite Zheng Xuan and others to settle in Fengxiang. "Aniu will do his best to provide all the conveniences for Mr. and all his brothers to study the scriptures. In Fengxiang, there is no need to distract energy for daily life, and it is easier to produce results!"

A Niu's proposal was flatly rejected. Zheng Xuan seemed to have made up his mind to live in Qifeng Valley for the rest of his life, without giving A Niu any affection. The Fengxiang martial artists present were furious and were very dissatisfied with Zheng Xuan's "unaware of ruthlessness" behavior. However, the city lord did not dare to be arrogant and his eyes were wide open.

A certain city lord didn't care about this, but just smiled faintly and stopped talking. Zheng Xuan's attitude was very tough, but A Niu had noticed just now that when those disciples heard that the teacher rejected A Niu's invitation, they inadvertently expressed disappointment.

The martial artists stationed in Qifeng Valley, Fengxiang, reported to a city lord the latest situation of Zheng Xuan and others to a city lord as early as outside the valley.

The long-term hard life failed to suffocate Zheng Xuan's love for the classics, but his disciples may not be willing to "stay together for the rest of their lives" here. Especially after Lu Zhi and others came, Zheng Xuan and others' living standards improved. Not only did they bring jerky from the territory, but the martial artists often hunted prey inside and outside the valley to change their lives. Zheng Xuan's disciples were very satisfied with this.

The sudden "happiness" has made some disciples' enthusiasm for the world rise again. Some disciples are still very young, many of whom have not married yet and are unwilling to live such an ascetic life for the rest of their lives. Just when Lu Zhi arrived at Qifeng Valley, there were eleven disciples following Zheng Xuan, and now there are only seven (not including Jiao Qiao).

Zheng Xuan didn't say anything about this "betrayal", but it seemed that he was secretly angry at these "outsiders who destroyed the stable situation". Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan had a good relationship, but in fact, Zheng Xuan blamed Feng Xiang. Under such circumstances, it was obviously not an easy task to agree to settle in Feng Xiang.

After this incident, the atmosphere during the meal became a little subtle. Not long after, Zheng Xuan signaled to a city lord that he would continue to study. Zheng Xuan's disciples also stood up to say goodbye. Of course, before that, most of them picked up a few more pieces of jerky and stuffed them into their mouths very calmly, but the speed of movement was slightly faster.

When Zheng Xuan and his disciples left, Lu Zhi sighed and said, "I have lived here for more than a month and have not persuaded him to go to Fengxiang. A Niu may have a waste of time this time."

"How could it be? This time I came to Qifeng Valley to visit Mr. Zheng Xuan, just by the way. My friendship with the master has not been successful. A Niu doesn't think he can invite Mr. Zheng Xuan. The person I want to find this time is actually you, Mr.." A city lord smiled leisurely.

"Look for me?" Lu Zhi was stunned.
