The so-called sleepy someone sent a pillow, just as Cai Ji was thinking about how to quickly familiarize himself with the customs and habits of the Han Dynasty, Duan County Ling sent a teenage girl to Cai Ji as a personal maid in time. Not only that, but he also provided Cai Ji and others with a number of coils and two ox carts, so that Zhang Qing and others could escort Cai Xiang's coffin to Zhihuang County, Donglai County.

"What's your name? How old are you this year? ”

On the ox cart, Cai Ji was dressed in a green robe, with a bun on his head, and he was dressed as a young man. Beside her sat a girl of about eleven or twelve years of age. In ancient times, when a woman reached the age of fifteen, she was considered to have reached the age of marriage. Therefore, although the girl in front of her is still childish, she has already looked quite mature in her gestures. I saw her leaning over and kowtowing and replying back to the little lady, the slave and maid Lily of the Valley, who is twelve years old this year. ”

Cai Ji listened to the girl's reply, and saw that her demeanor was respectful and moderate, so she couldn't help but nod secretly. I thought that having such a well-trained maid to serve was undoubtedly a blessing for those who had just begun to adapt to the life of the Eastern Han Dynasty. But even so, the other party's details still have to be explored. So Cai Ji followed and asked, "Is the name Lily of the Valley?" But you don't know if you have relatives at home? ”

"Back to the little lady. The slave and maid are the children of the family, and their parents are long dead. Lily of the valley replied, still with her forehead pressed against the back of her hand.

"Yes. Hold your head up. Cai Ji raised his hand and gestured. The lily of the valley straightened up when she heard this, but she still lowered her head and did not look directly at Cai Ji. said, "I think about my situation, and the county magistrate has also told you." Dressing up as a man is just a stopgap measure. However, I have been living in the house with my mother before, and I am not very good at dealing with people in the outside world, and if there are deficiencies in the future, you should not have any scruples to point it out directly. ”

"Yes." Lily of the valley replied respectfully.

Seeing this, Cai Ji couldn't help but smile, then relaxed his body and sat cross-legged and said Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm not a person of etiquette. In the absence of anyone else, we can be best friends. ”

Who knew that Lily of the Valley was not grateful for Cai Ji's words. On the contrary, she stared at Cai Ji's legs and said, Little lady, it is indecent to sit indecently, please sit upright. ”

It's no wonder that lily of the valley has such a look. The so-called Hu sitting refers to sitting cross-legged. In this era, this sitting posture was considered to be the sitting posture of the Hu people, and it was an absolute faux pas. Ordinary men are considered disrespectful, let alone women. Although sitting upright is very tiring for Cai Ji, the thought of having to sit upright when he meets people in the future is not a shame if he is not used to sitting upright. What's more, I just said that I wanted Lily of the Valley to correct the mistake, how could I turn around and go back on my word. Therefore, Cai Ji couldn't help but blush when Lily of the Valley said this, and quickly straightened his sitting posture and nodded humbly, Ah, did you say it. This bad habit really needs to be changed. ”

This time, Lily of the Valley's big eyes moved from Cai Ji's legs to her face, as if they were looking at some novel creature. After seeing Cai Ji's serious face, this somewhat old-fashioned girl couldn't help but whisper in embarrassment...... Actually, it's quite tiring to sit like this all the time. ”

"yes." Cai Ji bowed his head and honestly admitted. Then the two girls raised their heads at the same time and smiled knowingly at each other.

After such a small episode, Cai Ji and Lily of the Valley finally got rid of their initial life and began to become acquainted. While encouraging Lily of the Valley, Cai Ji told some small stories about the daily life of Duanfu, so as to corroborate them with the remaining memories in his mind and help him become familiar with the living habits of large families in this era. On the other side, Cai Ji also interspersed with some interesting allusions to history from time to time. After all, Lily of the Valley is just a twelve-year-old girl, seeing that Cai Ji is right, the master she thinks is a genuine talented girl, although she is not formal. The little doubt at the beginning was immediately thrown out of the clouds by her, and the place was replaced by the admiration of the five bodies.

So the two girls nested on the ox cart and talked all the way, and soon entered the territory of Zhihuang County, the county of Donglai County. According to Cai Ji, Huangxian County has a long history, and as early as the end of the Shang Dynasty, Laiguo was built here. Later Qin set up Qi County, and Huang County was founded. It is said that the famous Fang Shi Xu Fu set sail from Huangxian County back then, and took 500 boys and girls to find immortal medicine for Qin Shi Huang. However, at this moment, Huang County in Cai Ji's eyes has nothing to do with the fairy wind bones. It was early spring, and along the official road, there were no farmers working in the fields, and even the sound of chickens and dogs could not be heard in the villages. However, the trampled fields on both sides of the official road show that this place is not a wasteland, and not only that, but there should have been a large group of people walking here recently. Looking at all these signs, Cai Ji has never experienced war, and at this moment, the four big words "strong wall and clear field" can't help but appear in his mind.

Zhang Qing looked at the two uneasy girls in the ox cart, although he knew that Cao Jun might be nearby, but he still comforted him and said that the county seat of Huangxian County was ahead. As long as you enter the city, you will not be afraid of thieves. ”

"It's really a thief's doing, don't you skip words. Cai Ji looked around at the deserted official road and asked softly. And the lily of the valley beside her was even tighter in the ox cart, with a pair of big bright eyes full of fear of the outside world. It's no wonder that lily of the valley has such a look. In these troubled times, there are two worlds inside and outside the city.

Zhang Qing couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Cai Ji's question, thinking that the girl in front of him who was ignorant of the world also knew about Cao Jun's attack on Donglai. But before he could answer. Not far away, there was a sudden rise of dust, and it was obvious that someone was galloping towards them. Although Zhang Qing had already seen that the other party was not numerous, after the previous tragedy, he still cautiously raised his spear and shouted at his subordinates to protect his family! ”

It turned out that Zhang Qing's nervousness this time was superfluous. I saw that the three galloping knights immediately grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted as soon as they saw Zhang Qing and the others. Zhang Qing fixed his eyes again and saw that the knight led by him was the servant sent by Duan County Commander to report the news to Huang County before. The other two knights who followed him were both dressed in filial piety clothes. Such a situation made Zhang Qing, who had just put his mind at ease, feel nervous. Immediately after him, he heard the Duan family servant kneeling on the ground crying and saying Zhang Zhuangshi, it's not good! Cai Fujun ...... He's gone! ”

"You say! The lord ......, "Zhang Qing, who was riding on a horse, stumbled when he heard the bad news and almost fell off the horse. But before he could interrogate him in detail, a scream from Lily of the Valley suddenly came from behind him. Zhang Qingmeng turned around, only to see that Cai Ji on the ox cart had already fainted.

Just as Zhang Qing and the others rushed to Huang County with the fainting Cai Ji, there was a group of people kneeling in the mourning hall of the Taishou Mansion in the county seat, each pregnant with a ghost. They are the county governor of Donglai County, Gong Cao Huang Zhen, Du Wei Chen Cheng, and the third elder Duan Kui.

"Woo woo, Cai Fujun, how can you leave me and wait for the crane to go west." The loudest cry in the mourning hall was none other than Gong Cao Huang Zhen. Gong Cao is in charge of the county's personnel, so Huang Zhen can be said to be Cai Taishou's confidant. He seems to cry the saddest in both public and private.

"Yes, in this eventful season, Huang County suddenly has no leader. That's a good thing. The old man who whispered on the side was Duan Kui, the third elder of the county. The so-called three elders refer to the township officials who were in charge of education in ancient times. "Hanshu Gao Di Ji I" Yun Jumin is more than 50 years old, has practice, can be handsome and good, and thinks that he is three elders and one township; One of the three elders of the township is the three elders of the county. But in fact, in addition to verifying and mediating civil disputes, the third elder is responsible for education, but his main responsibility is to collect taxes. Therefore, Duan Kui's power in Huang County was not much worse than that of Taishou's subordinate officials. And at this moment, judging from the few words he said, this Duan Lao is most concerned about the safety of this acre and three points of land in Huang County. No, as soon as the old man turned around, he turned his conversation to a military general sitting opposite, "Duwei Chen, how many people are there in the city now?" ”

"There are about a thousand soldiers inside and outside the city." Commander Chen Cheng replied with a slight humility. If it was in front of the people outside, he could pat his chest and brag about how strong his horses were. However, at this moment, Chen Cheng is facing a cadre of real power figures in Donglai County, and everyone knows a little bit about his family background. It should be noted that according to the configuration of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the commanders of each county generally have jurisdiction over 1,000 to 5,000 people. When there is more than one governor, the governor is divided into districts under the county. Six years after the establishment of the military, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the Eastern Han Dynasty began to establish only the post of permanent governor in the border counties, and most of the inland areas did not set up. It was not until the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thieves in the reign of Emperor Ling that the counties of the Central Plains successively re-established the post of captain. This is also one of the reasons why the Western Liang warlords led by Dong Zhuo were able to rely on the army to control the government in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. Cai Boqi, the Shou of Donglai County, was originally a Confucian student, neither as willing to divide one side as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, nor as ambitious as Cao Cao and Liu Bei to save the world. In addition, Donglai County is relatively remote, so Cai Taishou, who does not dare to have the heart of a second minister, has never been concerned about the development of the military. But it also created the situation that Donglai is still being slaughtered today.

No, Duan Kui still shook his head after hearing Chen Cheng's answer and said, Ah, yes, how can this man stop Cao Jun's tiger and wolf army. Last time, with Cai Fujun's thin face, Cao Jun promised to relax the deadline and come back to Huangxian six days later. It's been four days now, and Cai Taishou has also passed away, so according to the old man, let's open the door to welcome Cao Jun into the city. ”

However, as soon as Duan Kui's voice fell, the county ruler sitting diagonally vetoed righteously, saying that this is not possible! Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou because of a personal grudge, which was an unkind battle. Now Cao Jun is harassing my Donglai Township and blackmailing my Donglai property, which is an unrighteous teacher. Letting such an unkind and unrighteous teacher into Huang County would not lead a wolf into the house! ”

"Hmph, Guan Juncheng's words are quite high-sounding. But I don't know what way Juncheng has to retreat from the enemy? It is said that the main general of the Cao army this time is Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Ren. Although his name is benevolent, he is not a benevolent person. The old man heard that this Cao Ren was pointed out by Cao Cao as a vanguard in the defeat of Tao Qian's army, not only that, but also slaughtered several cities, killing Xuzhou corpses all over the field. In other words, how can such a fierce person be blocked by a mantis arm? Duan Kui asked Guan Tong angrily. In fact, it is no wonder that Duan Kui has such a reaction. It is said that the position of the county is different from that of other subordinate officials of the Taishou, and it is directly appointed by the imperial court. Therefore, the stewardship is neither a confidant of Taishou nor a local family. It can be said that he is a real airborne officer. At this time, Cai Taishou passed away, and the new Taishou had not yet been appointed and dismissed, so Guan Tong became the nominal supreme governor of Donglai County. Not only that, the management is only in his thirties, but he has always been rigid, not only to regard himself as a celebrity, but also not to take a rich man like Duan Kui in his eyes. Seeing that the young man who was two rounds younger was putting on a high-minded appearance in front of himself, Duan Kui couldn't help but get bored when he saw it.

Seeing that Duan Kui and Guan Tong had a needle-to-needle confrontation with Mai Mang, Huang Zhen, who was still crying before, hurriedly said that the two of them should not be impatient. In the following opinion, the Cao army will not necessarily come to disturb the county again. After all, these days, Cao Jun has swept all over the territory of Huang County, and he has taken what he should have taken, and he has also collected what he should have collected. ”

When Duan Kui saw Huang Zhen come forward, he no longer raised the bar with Guan Tong, but rode directly down the ramp on a donkey It would be best if Cao Jun could come. But we have to have a preparation, a charter, don't we? Don't wait for Cao Jun to really come to the city, then it's good to be in a hurry. ”

However, the management still seems quite stubborn. But seeing him put his hands in his sleeves, he said proudly what to prepare. If Cao Jun came, he would naturally turn him away. Elder Duan, don't be frightened by those boring rumors. thought that Cao Jun was really a divine soldier descending from heaven. Thinking that he Cao Ren led thousands of men and horses all the way to fight the war, there was no logistics supply, and there was no siege weapon. And I, the high walls of Huangxian County, are so thick that I am afraid that he will not be able to ride thousands of miles. Chen Duwei, what do you say? ”

It is undeniable that although the attitude of the ruler is arrogant, it is undoubtedly higher than Duan Kui and others in terms of military quality. He hit the nail on the head to point out Cao Jun's current weaknesses. Therefore, after listening to Guan Tong's analysis, Huang Zhen, Chen Cheng and others all showed expressions of understanding. Chen Cheng patted his chest and assured that the county was at ease. There are many sons and daughters who stick to Huangxian, and they will let the Cao army take advantage of the prosperity and return with defeat! ”

Huang Zhen hurriedly gave up his hand and flattered him in a timely manner, saying that Chen Duwei was so courageous. Huang thanked the soldiers on behalf of the people of Huang County. ”

Duan Kui saw that Chen Cheng and Huang Zhen successively expressed their support for Guan Tong, although he didn't think much of Guan Tong's words, he reluctantly followed Chen Cheng and said that the safety of Huang County would depend on Chen Dutong. ”

Chen Cheng was praised by Huang Zhen and Duan Kui continuously, and immediately became a little fluttering. It's just that before he could say a few humble words, a small servant came to the hall to report that Huang Gongcao and Cai Fujun's family had entered the city. ”

"Ah, look I'm so busy that I forgot about it. A few of you will come with me to greet the family of Taishou. When Huang Zhen heard the news, he hurriedly got up and was about to go out to greet him.

However, the other three people present were not as enthusiastic as Huang Zhen. Guan Tong even glanced at Huang Zhen and instructed Huang Gongcao, since Taishou's family has arrived. The herald ordered all the soldiers to strictly check the entry and exit from now on, and beware of the Cao army from sneaking into the city! ”
