Don't look at Cai Yong, who was picked up by Dong Zhuo, but because of his character and literary talent, the Chinese military officials still respect him very much. At this moment, seeing him suffering, they all pleaded for him.

Taifu Ma Riyan even got up and said to Wang Yun: "Lord Situ, Uncle is a great talent, if it continues to become a history of the Han Dynasty, it will be a grand event." And his filial piety is well-known, if he kills it, he is afraid of losing people's hope. ”

Unexpectedly, after Wang Yun heard this, he snorted coldly and said: "Xi Xiaowu did not kill Sima Qian, and later made history, so he slandered the book and circulated it to future generations. Fang Jin's national fortunes are declining, and the government is chaotic, so we can't let the ministers write around the young master, so that we will be discouraged. ”

Wang Yun didn't listen to his advice at all, Ma Riyan shook his head with a wry smile, and retreated to his place and sat down.

Frustrated Zhu remembered the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly got up and said to Wang Yun Shili: "Wang Situ, give courage and want to intercede for Cai Shizhong......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Yun raising his hand. Wang Yun said impatiently: "Gonghe, although you and I have a personal relationship, but this is a public matter, the old man definitely does not dare to abolish the public because of personal interests." Speaking of this, he immediately ordered the two warriors standing behind Cai Yong, "Put Cai Yong in prison and deal with it in the future." ”

As Cai Yong was taken away by the samurai, the banquet also broke up. Fu Zhu followed the civil and military ministers who left the table, came out of the palace together, and hurried to the post station, ready to study with Xiahoulan and others how to rescue Cai Yong.

Since Xia Houlan escorted him to Chang'an, he either rode horses with the soldiers every day, or drank and had fun in the post station. Early this morning, Wang Yun invited Fu Zhi into the palace for a banquet, and Xiahou Lan thought that there was nothing to do, so he summoned a few Dubo and team leaders to drink in the house.

was on the rise, and suddenly heard a frustrated voice outside: "Where is Captain Xiahou, Captain Xiahou, where are you?" ”

Xia Houlan was full of panic when she heard the frustrated voice, and hurriedly put down the wine bottle in her hand, walked out quickly, and said loudly: "Mr. Gonghe, so-and-so is here!" ”

Frustrated Xue threw himself in front of Xiahou Lan, grabbed his arm, and said excitedly: "Captain Xiahou, disaster is coming, and it is really too late to regret the trust of Tinghou." ”

Xia Houlan was confused by these incoherent words, and he asked puzzledly: "Mr. Gonghe, didn't you go into the palace with Wang Situ to drink?" ”

"This is not the place to speak," Fu Zhu suddenly realized that it was quite inappropriate to discuss important matters with Xiahou Lan in the courtyard, so he walked around him and walked towards the house, saying, "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a group of people sitting in the house. When those Dubs and team leaders saw Fu Zhi coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted, and said in unison: "See Mr. Fu! ”

Fu Zhu didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Xia Houlan, who was following up. Xia Houlan immediately understood, and waved his hand at those Dubo team leaders: "I have something important to discuss with Mr. Gonghe, so let's retreat first." ”

When only he and Xiahou Lan were left in the room, he said anxiously: "Captain Xiahou, disaster is coming, disaster is coming." Wang Yun put Cai Shizhong in prison. ”

Hearing Fu Zhu say this, Xia Houlan couldn't help but be stunned. After a long while, he asked, "I don't know why Wang Situ put Cai Shizhong in prison?" ”

"Today we were drinking and feasting, and suddenly someone came to report that someone was in the market, holding the body of Dong Thief and crying bitterly." Fu Zhu said to Xiahou Lan: "Wang Situ was furious and ordered the warrior to go and arrest that man. Who knew that when the samurai brought that person, he found out that it was Cai Shizhong. Wang Situ was furious, and despite the pleas of the hundred officials, he ordered the warriors to put Cai Shizhong in prison. ”

Xia Houlan couldn't understand why Cai Yong would cry for Dong Zhuo, so he looked at Fu Zhu and asked his own question: "Why did Cai Shizhong hold Dong Thief's corpse and cry bitterly?" ”

According to Cai Shizhong's own words, Dong Thief knew his kindness again. Seeing the corpse of Dong thief on the street, I couldn't bear it, so I hugged the corpse and cried bitterly. When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Cai Shizhong is really confused, even if Dong Thief is kind to you, you can secretly pay tribute to him at home, why do you want to go outside and cry on the street." It's good now, I've got myself in. ”

After Xia Houlan finished speaking, she continued to ask: "Mr. Gonghe, you don't have a good personal relationship with Wang Situ, why don't you intercede with him and let Cai Shizhong go?" ”

Hearing Xiahou Lan's question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Xiahou, do you think that there is no intercession?" When he heard Wang Situ say that he wanted to put Cai Shizhong in prison, he once pleaded with him, but he was refused. I really didn't expect that Wang Situ had just been in power, and he would become so domineering. ”

In order to complete the task assigned to him by Han Zhan and send Cai Yong back to Jizhou safe and sound, he decided to take a risk: "Gather people immediately, we will go to the prison and rescue Cai Shizhong." ”

Frustrated by this risky decision, Xia Houlan was frightened, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Gonghe, we only have two hundred people, even if we can rob the prison and rescue Cai Shizhong in the Jingshi, but once the defenders in the city get the information and close the city gate, none of us will want to escape from the city." ”

After listening to Xiahou Lan's words, Fu Zhi calmed down a little, but he still did not give up the idea of forcibly robbing the prison in his heart, so he ordered Xia Houlan again: "Captain Xiahou, immediately send a few clever people to the vicinity of the prison to find out the news." Grant to go to Situ's mansion again tomorrow and plead with Wang Situ, if he still refuses to allow it, maybe he can only take the road of robbing the prison. ”

"Okay. So-and-so arranged for people to go to the prison. Xia Houlan knew very well the reasons for being frustrated with the Beijing Division, one was to give gifts to the powerful in the DPRK, and the other was to persuade Cai Yong to leave the Beijing Division and go to Jizhou. Hearing Fu Zhi's order, he immediately agreed, and prepared to send his capable men to the vicinity of the prison to inquire about Cai Yong's whereabouts.

Who knew that the men sent by Xiahoulan had just walked to the door of the post station, and they saw that there were soldiers standing densely outside, so they hurriedly came back to report to Xiahoulan.

Xia Houlan was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly rushed to the door of the post station with Fu Zhu. Seeing the phalanx of pikemen of hundreds of people standing in the square in front of the post station, Xiahou Lan sighed and said to Fu Zhu: "Mr. Gonghe, it seems that Wang Situ has long been prepared for our robbery, so he sent so many men and horses to take care of us. ”

Seeing the posture outside, he knew that his plan had failed. He sighed, nodded slightly, and continued: "It seems that he can only go to Situ's Mansion one more time, and he has the cheekiness to plead with Wang Situ." I hope he can be extrajudicial and let Cai Shizhong go. ”

After Fu Zhu finished speaking, he prepared to go to Situ Mansion alone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the post station, more than a dozen soldiers blocked his way, and a man who looked like a military marquis came over and said to him politely: "Lord Fu, it is said that there are still many remnants of Dong thieves in the city, and Wang Situ is worried that they will not be good for the lord, so he sent a small one to protect the post station." Please turn to the station quickly to avoid accidents. ”

When he heard what the military marquis said, his heart couldn't help but sink suddenly, he knew that Wang Yun was afraid that he would intercede with Cai Yong again, so he sent troops to put him under house arrest. He wanted to force his way through, but when he saw the soldier's hand on the hilt of the sword, if he made any moves, the other party could have slashed at him.

In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, he could only return to the post station in a gloomy manner. said to Xiahou Lan who was standing at the door: "Captain Xiahou, let's go in and talk." ”

The two returned to the house, and Xia Houlan asked bluntly: "Mr. Gong and He, it seems that the old thief Wang Yun wants to trap us here, what should we do?" ”

When he heard that Xiahou Lan had turned Wang Yun into an old thief, he didn't get angry, but pondered for a while and said, "We have to report the situation of Jingshi to Tinghou as soon as possible to see what he has in mind." ”

"After Dong Thief was awarded the head yesterday, Mr. Mo Quan and others had already rushed back to Jizhou with a whip, ready to report the matter to the lord." Xiahou Lan was embarrassed and said: "Although I have two hundred people under my command, but I don't have a real confidant, I can send him back to deliver a letter to the lord." ”

Fu Zhu thought for a while, and said to Xiahou Lan: "Captain Xiahou, I will write a letter to the lord immediately. You immediately send someone out of the post station to catch up with Moquan, who set out yesterday, and ask him to report this matter to the lord. ”

After Xia Houlan waited for Fu to write the letter, she found a team leader with a good relationship, handed him the letter, and told him: "Mr. Fu has a letter that needs to be sent back to Jizhou immediately." You find a way to get out of the station, hurry up and chase Moquan, give him this letter, and let him bring it to the lord with him. ”

After the team leader was killed, he came to the place where the post official lived, threw an official uniform, and put it on himself, wanting to get out of the post station, and then go to chase Moquan who left yesterday. Who would have thought that he walked out of the post station not far away, but was also stopped by the officers and soldiers, and the officer who led the team said viciously: "Go back to the post station immediately, otherwise you will be killed." ”

Frustrated by this risky decision, Xia Houlan was frightened, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Gonghe, we only have two hundred people, even if we can rob the prison and rescue Cai Shizhong in the Jingshi, but once the defenders in the city get the information and close the city gate, none of us will want to escape from the city." ”
