Three Kingdoms' Great Agent

  Young man with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, eyes like bright stars, walking with his head held high and chest out, exuding strong confidence and extraordinary demeanor. Under the decoration of morning sun and mist, the young man is like an immortal among mortals. Behind the young man, there is also a horse-drawn carriage, on which sits a middle-aged coachman wearing a short-sleeved shirt, who has stopped the carriage at a distance without following up.

  Wang Lei sheathed his spear and stood up straight, and when he saw the approaching person, he couldn't help but praise in his heart.

  Compared with the newcomer, he is a wooden club, while the newcomer is an unpolished jade, which is simply a difference between heaven and earth.

  People are compared with people, and they are suffocated by comparison!

  Wang Lei knew that the newcomer was not simple, and he didn't dare to be slow. He hastily cupped his fists and said: "Sir, you're overpraising me. Just now I was practicing martial arts and got excited, so I couldn't help but sing a loud song. I'm afraid I've made a fool of myself in front of you."

  The young man's sleeves fluttered as he waved his hand, and with both hands clasped behind his back, he said slowly: "Your Honor's long poem has a majestic momentum, with a heroic and forceful tone that makes one's blood boil. It is indeed an excellent poem. However, I don't know who wrote this poem?"

  Wang Lei replied: "In the midst of practicing martial arts, I was moved by emotions and spoke out."

  The young man in front of him had an extraordinary air, Wang Lei thought that he would make a name for himself with this poem, and only by making it his own.

  As expected, a look of surprise appeared in the young man's eyes.

  In the eyes of young people, the person in front of them is robust and majestic, without a hint of elegance or bookishness, definitely not a scholar. However, such a person has produced poetic lines with a perfect atmosphere, truly "don't judge a person by appearance". Upon careful consideration, the person in front of them exudes a fierce aura when practicing martial arts, with an extraordinary presence, indeed a fierce individual, and the poetic atmosphere matches their identity.

  The young man's face turned red with shame, and he clasped his fists, saying: "Just now I judged you by your appearance and suspected that it wasn't you who did it. I'm extremely ashamed. Your martial arts skills are outstanding, and your ambitions are lofty. In the future, you will surely be enfeoffed as a marquis and appointed as a general."

  Wang Lei felt even more pleased after hearing this.

  He is a modest gentleman!

  A true gentleman!

  Whatever is in his heart, he can tell it as it is, and his magnanimity is admirable.

  Wang Lei hastily shook his head and said, "Sir is a humble gentleman, admirable. I'm just a martial artist, not well-versed in literature, without any elegant bones, sir has overpraised me."

  The young man smiled, and for a moment, Wang Lei couldn't help but praise the person in front of him.

  Cool!

  He's really too handsome!

  This man has a face that makes men jealous and women scream, with a refined temperament and elegant demeanor, an absolute male model. The young man changed his tone and said slowly: "I am Xun Yan from Yingchuan, may I ask your honorable name?"

  Wang Lei was surprised in his heart and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Xun Yourou, I am Wang Lei from Xiaoye County."

  "Oh, you know me?"

  Xun You's smile on his face became even more radiant, after all, he was a young man who liked to hear nice words.

  Wang Lei's face showed a look of admiration, and he said sincerely: "Xun Shenjun's reputation is known throughout the world, and his eight sons are all talented, known as the 'Eight Dragons of Xun'. Who doesn't know the name of the 'Eight Dragons of Xun'? And Xun Shenjun's grandsons Xun Yan, Xun Tan, Xun Yan, and Xun Yue are even more outstanding, their reputation is renowned in the world. This is a well-known fact. As the saying goes, 'hearing is not as good as seeing', Mr. Xun's demeanor is extraordinary, today I am lucky to see you in person, it's a great fortune for me."

  Xun Shenjun's name was Xun Shu, and his courtesy name was Jihe. He was from Yingyin in Yingchuan (now Xuchang, Henan).

  During the reign of Emperor Huan of Han, Xun Shu was renowned for his noble character.

  At that time, the famous Confucian scholars Li Gu and Li Ying respected Xun Shu as their teacher. When Empress Dowager Liang was in power, there were solar eclipses and earthquakes, and she issued an edict asking the officials to recommend virtuous and talented people to discuss countermeasures. Du Qiao, a Guanglu Xun, and Fang Zhi, a Shaofu, recommended Xun Shu. Empress Dowager Liang met with Xun Shu and asked him about solutions to solar eclipses and earthquakes. Xun Shu criticized the imperial relatives, which made General-in-Chief Liang Ji jealous, and he was transferred to be the Marquis of Langling.

  Xun Shou was known as "Divine Lord" during his tenure for being upright and wise in governance.

  Wang Lei praised Xun's family, and Xun Chen's good impression of Wang Lei greatly increased.

  Originally, Xun Yan was surprised by Wang Lei's poem, but only found it curious and didn't have much in common with this rough man. But after hearing Wang Lei's words, Xun Yan felt elated.

  All people from great families and clans take their family as their honor.

  Xun Can is just like that!

  Wang Lei's words happened to hit Xun Yan's 'weakness', making Xun Yan feel delighted. Even a rough person knows the Xun family, and he also knows Xun You, what an exciting thing! Xun Yan's expression became more intimate, his tone gentle, and he smiled as he said: "Where is your honor going?"

  "Wang Lei said: 'Not hiding from you, sir, I have been appointed by the prefect as the county magistrate of Wuji County and am on my way north to take up office.'"

  Xun Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised and said: "You are young, yet you have been appointed as the head of a county. You must have some extraordinary abilities. I was sent by the Prefect to make a trip to Wuji County in Zhongshan State, but when I returned, there was already a new Magistrate of Wuji County."

  Wang Lei was shocked in his heart, Xun Yan actually being under Han Fu's command.

  His face was calm and unruffled as he said, "Ke will go north to take up his post, sir will return to Ye County, it's Ke's fate."

  Xun Can said: "The situation in Wuji County is complicated, and County Magistrate Wang should be cautious in his actions."

  Xun Chen paused, then bowed his fist and said: "I still have to hurry back to Ye County, it's not convenient for me to chat with the county magistrate Wang, I'll take my leave." Xun Chen was unwilling to linger, and Wang Piao couldn't possibly detain him. Even if Wang Piao wanted to ask about Wuji County, he had no power to do so. He was just a small county magistrate, while Xun Chen was a renowned young master of the Yingchuan Xun family. Wang Piao didn't have the qualifications to detain Xun Chen, and could only smile and bid him farewell.

  Watching Xun Chen leave, seeing the horse carriage disappear from view, Wang Lei let out a light sigh.

  How nice it would be if I could make use of it!

  What a pity...

  Wang Lei could only think about it in his heart, reality is always bony.

  Wang Lei took a deep breath, put away the emotions in his heart, and placed the long spear under the carriage. He returned to the carriage and sat down. Xiao Hao looked at him with admiration, not knowing about Xun's Eight Dragons or who Xun Shen Jun was, but seeing someone extraordinary talking to the master made Xiao Hao feel proud. Wang Lei sat back in the carriage, and the old man stared at him blankly, as if it was the first time he had seen him.

  "Tiger Head, when did you become so clever?"

  Old Du stroked his sparse beard under his chin, with a glint in his eyes, as if he was thinking of something. He had been with Wang Lei for five years and knew him like the back of his hand, but had never found out that Wang Lei could write poetry.

  Wang Lei's performance today surprised the old man.

  If it weren't for him being familiar with the person in front of him, he would really think that Wang Lei had become a different person.

  Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Does the old man still not understand me? I haven't even read many books, how could I possibly compose poetry? This is something I occasionally heard on the street, thinking of saving face, so I took it as my own." He chuckled to himself, a sly look appearing on his face.

  This smile was just what was needed to dispel Old Master's astonishment.

  That's more like it, if a young whippersnapper can write poetry, then pigs can climb trees.
