"If you have the chance, you bring that young master Xiang Kang to see what the descendants of Xiang Yan, the famous general of the old Chu, looked like, and what is the difference between them and ordinary people."

County Magistrate Zhou was just a casual commander who was curious. It was nothing to say whether he could see Xiang Kang. If he would forget this matter completely in the future, he would probably not even be sure of it. But there was no way. His words were said to Feng Zhong, who had just saved the throne of the pavilion leader. Feng Zhong not only kept it in mind, but also took it as an imperial edict.

Feng Zhong was actually a scheming person - otherwise he would not have been accidentally discovered by the Xiang brothers until the last moment when he organized people to catch Xiang Bo; nor would he choose to visit Zhou County Magistrate's house when he was about to have supper, so that Zhou County Magistrate would taste the already delicious beggar chicken with an empty stomach.

It was precisely because of his scheming that Feng Zhong attached more importance to the casual instructions of Zhou County Magistrate Zhou, because Feng Zhong knew too well that Xiang Kang was able to speak eloquently, and he also saw from various things that Xiang Kang was actually a person who was loyal and conscious. He knew that once Xiang Kang met with Zhou County Magistrate, it would be easy to win Zhou County Magistrate Zhou's mind and eloquence. As long as Zhou County Magistrate admired Xiang Kang whom he introduced, his official position would be more guaranteed. Even if there was any mistake in the future, he could ask Xiang Kang to lobby, which was better than asking for help from others.

Therefore, on the second day of October, I delayed the New Year in the county town and paid New Year's greetings to the county magistrate and two county magistrates one by one. On the third day of October, Feng Zhong had just returned home and immediately bought a gift, asked the guests to bring two jars of wine, and ran to Xiang's family to pay New Year's greetings, and begged Xiang Kang and himself to go to the city to see the county magistrate Zhou.

Feng Zhong was lucky. The Xiang family members who traveled around all day did not leave the village for fun that day. When Feng Zhong arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw the Xiang family and a group of men and women in the same village who were in the leisure time playing six-blogs and throwing pots on the open space in the village. His primary target, Xiang Kang, also knocked his legs and sat on a big rock watching the fun. Feng Zhong was overjoyed and hurriedly came directly to Xiang Kang, bowing with a smile and bowing, "Young Master Xiang, the good old man is fine."

"Brother Feng, the matter is done? Is there any problem with the position of the pavilion chief?"

Xiang Kang's words surprised Feng Zhong a little. When he quickly asked Xiang Kang how he knew, Xiang Kang smiled and said, "How do you know if you still have to? Look at you smiling so happily, what's wrong?"

Feng Zhong suddenly realized, hurriedly bowed to Xiang Kang again, and whispered in a low voice: "Thank you, brother, follow your instructions, as soon as the two Miyue chickens are done, the county magistrate will immediately agree not to pursue my mistakes last year and let me continue to do it."

"Congratulations." Xiang Kang bowed his hand and saw the gifts and wine jars brought by Feng Zhong's guests, and asked casually: "What? Who else do you want to congratulate the New Year?"

"Of course it's for you, brother." Feng Zhong was still quite good at speaking and said with a smile: "Brother, you have helped me so much this time. Brother Yu, I won't come to congratulate you on the New Year, who will I congratulate you?"

He looked at Feng Zhong again, and saw that the kind smile on his face was not like a fake, Xiang Kang hurriedly refused: "Brother, don't be polite, you have to make a small effort, don't worry about it. Besides, you know my situation. Come and congratulate me on the New Year. I don't even have to treat you, so there is no need."

"Brother, don't be polite." Feng Zhong snatched the gift from his client, stuffed it into Xiang Kang's arms, and then pointed to the two jars of wine and said, "You don't need to treat me, brother, have you seen it? I brought the wine. Let's have a good drink today. Brother, brother, I'll come to celebrate the New Year for you. Why do you have to invite me to your house and sit there?"

Seeing that Feng Zhong's actions and tone were quite sincere, Xiang Kang couldn't continue to refuse, so he could only say to the Xiang brothers who had already surrounded him to watch the fun: "Dear brothers, brothers, Brother Feng, come and invite me to drink, come to my place for a drink."

The Xiang brothers who like to eat and drink were cheering, and quickly surrounded Xiang Kang and walked into the village with Feng Zhong, leaving the men and women in the same village watching the fun, looking at each other in the same place, and said in surprise: "I heard it right, are you right? The pavilion leader came to celebrate Xiang Kang with gifts? When did Xiang Kang become so powerful? Even the pavilion leader respect him so much?"

Not only were the young men and women in the same village dumbfounded, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sui and other Xiang brothers were actually quite shocked, because they not only saw Feng Zhong take the initiative to greet Xiang Kang, but after they arrived in Xiang Kang's dilapidated hut, they also saw Feng Zhong rushing to pour wine with a bowl and holding the wine in both hands to invite Xiang Kang to enjoy it. They were so respectful that they regarded Xiang Kang as his boss and elder. The completely inverted scene made Xiang Guan unable to help but push Xiang Zhuang quietly with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why did Feng Zhong respect Xiang Kang so much? Are you going to help Xiang Kang scare this Feng Zhong again?"

Only Xiang Kang knew that Feng Zhong would never show his diligence for nothing. After drinking two bowls of rice wine, he took the initiative to say to Feng Zhong: "Brother Feng, is there something wrong? Just say it directly. There is no need to be so polite. As long as I can help, I will try my best to help."

"It's brothers who are loyal." Feng Zhong raised his thumbs up flatteringly and said, "Brother, then I'm not polite. Two things, first, I want to ask if you can make any other Chu Palace delicacies, and can you teach me how many more that woman makes?"

"I have to recall this, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Xiang Kang agreed and asked again: "What is the second thing?"

"I want to ask you to accompany me into the city to meet the county master of Xiaxiang County." Feng Zhong said his purpose, and then told Xiang Kang the cause and effect of the matter, explaining the reason why Zhou County Magistrate was interested in Xiang Kang's identity, and said: "Don't worry, brother, I think this is a good thing. Even if you can't talk to the county master, it is a good thing to know the county master of this county master. Maybe this relationship will be used that day in the future."

Xiang Kang did not agree to Feng Zhong immediately this time for two reasons. One is that Xiang Bo was rescued by Xiang Kang with a trick that night. Xiang Kang was in a precaution, so the government set up a trap to lure him. The other is that Xiang Kang had to consider the consequences of making friends with the magistrate of Zhou, and was worried that it would cause his brothers to be disgusted. The Xiang brothers' hatred of the Qin Dynasty government was not just talking about it. At the same time, Xiang Kang also had to worry about whether his descendants, Xiang Yan, would be targeted by those who were interested, and would lead to unexpected consequences.

After thinking more carefully, Xiang Kang quickly found that he was a little worried at the first point - if the government really wanted to arrest him and ask for guilt, he would just send someone to arrest him. It would definitely be the case that Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and other accomplices were arrested together. He did not have the intention of designing the trapper, but he also gave Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and others the opportunity to run away.

The second point is not a big problem, because when planning, Xiang Kang suddenly remembered a historical detail - in history, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu took advantage of the opportunity to visit the Kuaiji County Magistrate's Office and suddenly killed the county Magistrate to rebel. This is enough to prove that the Xiang brothers did not resist making contacts with the officials of the Qin Dynasty. At the same time, Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo and Xiang brothers in Xiaxiang County have never deliberately concealed their identity as descendants of the Xiang family. Even the neighboring Yu family knew that their family was a nobleman of the Chu State. If anyone wanted to use this, they would have taken action long ago. There was no need to wait until today, so they would not be too worried.

If you eliminate the disadvantages and think about the interests carefully, Xiang Kang found that there are definitely many benefits to making friends with the county magistrate. Not only can you find a temple gate that burns incense directly when something happens, but you can also get some confidential information from the county town that ordinary people cannot access - for example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion are a fatal matter, and if you are in advance, it is better than being blinded all day long.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Xiang Kang made up his mind on the spot and immediately said, "Okay, since it's the eldest brother who spoke, I'll give you this face and tell me some time. Let's go to the city together and meet that county magistrate for a while."

"That's great, Brother Xiang Kang really gives face." Feng Zhong applauded and quickly said, "Brother Xiang, let's go while the iron is hot, how about going tomorrow?"

Xiang Kang, who didn't care about time, agreed immediately with Feng Zhong to go out together the next morning and be invited to visit the county magistrate named Zhou. Feng Zhong was overjoyed and quickly toasted Xiang Kang repeatedly. Finally, he forced Xiang Kang and the Xiang brothers to his home, and took the initiative to let Xiang Kang and the Xiang brothers eat and drink again at his home.

That night, Xiang Kang naturally had to fool his brothers with sweet words, so that the Xiang brothers knew that he was visiting Zhou County Magistrate for his own interests. Without much effort, the Xiang brothers agreed to go to the city alone to visit Zhou County Magistrate the next day. Then the next morning, just after breakfast, Feng Zhong, who was dressed neatly, came to the Xiang family, respectfully invited Xiang Kang out, and went straight to the county town with Xiang Kang, talking and laughing.

After successfully entering the city, under Feng Zhong's guidance, Xiang Kang, who was also dressed very neatly, came directly to the gate of the county temple where Zhou County Magistrate's office. Feng Zhong came forward and showed his identity and purpose. The servant guarding in front of the gate came in and reported it. However, at this moment, Xiang's anxious shout suddenly came from behind, "Uncle Ji! Uncle Ji! Uncle Xiang Kang! Wait, don't go in first."

Xiang Kang turned around in confusion and saw his nephew Xiang Ta and Xiang Yang rushing towards this side quickly. Xiang Kang knew that something must be wrong, so he hurriedly came forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yu family..., someone from the Yu family came." Xiang Ta gasped and said, "Just as soon as you left today, someone from the Yu family came to our house. He said that something big happened at their house. Mr. Yu was very ill and could not take care of anything. He wanted to ask us to go to Yanjiting to help his house. Uncle Ji and the others went there first, and asked me to report to you and tell you to go quickly."

"It must be related to that Dan Youwei!" Xiang Kang quickly concluded in his heart, and immediately found that this matter was indeed troublesome. The gate of the county temple had just entered and spread it. It was fine that the county magistrate Zhou had no time to meet him. If he happened to have time to meet him, he would not be able to go to Yan Jiting to help the Yu family immediately.

"Brother, what happened?" Feng Zhong, who found that the situation was not good, came up and asked.

"Yan Jiting's Yu family is friends with me. There is an urgent matter in his family and I want to ask me to help." Xiang Kang explained in a flash, and asked Xiang and Xiang Yang again: "Did the people from the Yu family say what's going on?"

"I didn't say it specifically, I just said that Shan Youwei deliberately messed with their family, trying to kill Yu Zhi, and trying to force Mr. Yu to death." Xiang Ta answered a little vaguely and said, "Uncle Xiangzhuang and the others have already gone. Uncle Ji, you have many ideas, so you can go quickly."

"Okay, I'll leave right away." Xiang Kang made up his mind and was extremely worried that if he was not present, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Guan's muscular and simple-minded men would make things uncontrollable. At that time, not only would the matter of the Yu family be more troublesome, but it might also harm his brothers. So after nodding, Xiang Kang immediately turned to Feng Zhong and bowed and said, "Brother Feng, I'm very sorry, the matter of the Yu family is too urgent. I must leave immediately, otherwise it might not be too late."

"But what to do here?" Feng Zhong's face cried and said, "The gatekeeper has already entered and spread it. If the county magistrate agrees to meet, how can I explain it?"

Xiang Kang hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Then I can only ask you to tell the county master truthfully. I think Zhou County master should be reasonable and understand my difficulties. I would like to ask the eldest brother to tell Zhou County master, and I would say that if I have the chance, I will definitely come to the door to apologize."

After saying that, Xiang Kang didn't give Feng Zhong a chance to tell the difference. He pulled Xiang and Xiang Yang and ran away. Feng Zhong couldn't stop him and could only complain, "Brother Xiang, are you saving someone and killing someone! You're leaving, what should I do here?"

Feng Zhong deserves the bad luck. Xiang Kang had just left, and the door who had been informed before returned to Feng Zhong and said that the county magistrate had invited him. Feng Zhong was sweating profusely and could only stammer to explain the reason to the county temple gang. As a result, the door became angry and said, "What are you kidding? I just spread it for you, and the county lord also agreed to you. The person you brought suddenly left. How can I explain to the county lord? Let's go in and say to the county lord!"

Forced to the point of being helpless, Feng Zhong had to follow the door to the official temple obediently, and gritted the bullet and went into the back hall to greet the Zhou County Magistrate who was having lunch break. When Zhou County Magistrate saw that Feng Zhong was only here, he was extremely surprised and asked, "Feng Zhong, didn't you say you would bring that Young Master Xiang Kang to pay homage to me? Where are others?"

"The county master forgives the crime. He suddenly has an urgent matter and leaves first." Feng Zhong's voice was filled with crying. He first told Xiang Kang's friend that something happened to him and asked for help. He then told Xiang Kang's situation that Xiang Kang chose to help his friend first, and then bowed and said, "The county master forgives the crime. It is all the villain's fault. The villain doesn't know that things will be so coincidental. Mr. Xiang Kang just arrived at the gate of the official temple. This happened to County Master, which made County Master wait for him in vain. The villain is guilty and the villain is guilty."

When saying these words, Feng Zhong was not only pale, but also felt a little sad. He was already prepared to be dismissed on the spot. However, what surprised Feng Zhong was that after listening carefully to his explanation, County Magistrate Zhou not only did not get angry, but also said in surprise: "For the sake of his friend, would rather give up the opportunity to meet with me? This Young Master Xiang Kang..."

He was surprised to say to himself and arrived here. County Magistrate Zhou suddenly raised his voice and said, "I am a knight!"

"County Master, aren't you angry?" Feng Zhong asked cautiously.

"Why should I be angry?" Zhou County Magistrate asked back and said, "If Mr. Xiang Kang chose to die for his friend in order to meet him, I would look down on him! Mr. Xiang is a hero and righteous person. I am proud of being able to have such a chivalrous man under his rule!"

Feng Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which was tightly raised to his throat, immediately put it back into his stomach, and he said to himself: "Brother Xiang, you are such a lucky star. In such a thing, the county priest can not only not be angry, but also look down on you more! It seems that being loyal is really good."

"Okay, it's okay, Feng Zhong, go back." County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand and said, "When the young master Xiang Kang finishes his friend's business, you will invite him to see me again. At that time, I will go out to greet him in person."

Feng Zhong said loudly, and he didn't know how to evaluate what he encountered today. County Magistrate Zhou thought for a moment and ordered: "By the way, you are the head of the pavilion. Shilingting and Yan Jiting are not far away. Find a way to find out what happened to Mr. Xiang Kang's friend's family. If you can help, try to help Mr. Xiang. If you need any help from me, you can also ask Mr. Xiang Kang to come and tell me that I like a knight like him."
