Chapter 245: Looking West at Chang'an
Huang An and Huang Shi have both heard of Feng Ji's name, and they also know that the horse they are riding is a gift from Feng Ji. Therefore, I heard that the middle-aged man on the opposite side hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knelt down to salute: "Nephew Huang An, Huang Shi, see uncle." ”
"Two virtuous nephews are exempt!" Feng Ji, who was sitting on horseback, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "I want to go to the village to visit the old man, but I don't know if Ling Zun can be in the village?" ”
"My father is in the village, please ask my uncle to come with my little nephew," Huang An hurriedly replied: "My little nephew will lead the way for my uncle." ”
After the Huang brothers re-mounted, Huang An and Feng Ji went side by side, while Huang Shi hurried back to Zhuangzi and reported to his father Huang Hu about Feng Ji's visit.
There was still a stone's throw away from Zhuangzi, and Feng Ji saw a group of people standing at the gate of Zhuangzi, led by a fat man with a short figure. He recognized at a glance that the other party was his friend Huang Hu.
When Huang Hu saw that Feng Ji was coming, he hurriedly greeted him, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "I don't know that Brother Yuantu is coming, the younger brother has never been far away, and I ask my brother to forgive me." ”
"What did Brother Ziyong Xian say," Feng Ji stepped forward to hold Huang Hu's hand, called out the other party's words, and said with a smile: "It's because my brother came abruptly and caused trouble to my brother." ”
"Brother Yuantu, outside the village is not the place to speak, please go into the village to rest." Huang Hu said politely: "The junior brother has already instructed his subordinates to prepare wine and food to catch the wind for Brother Yuantu." ”
Feng Ji, who was already hungry, was overjoyed when he heard Huanghu say that there was wine and food to greet him, but he still tried to control his emotions, and said with his expression as usual: "Since it is a kind of hospitality from a virtuous brother, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate for a brother." ”
The two came to the living room arm in arm, sat down with the host and the Huang brothers, and accompanied the prime minister.
Huang Hu picked up the wine bottle and said to Feng Ji: "Brother Yuantu, please!" ”
Feng Ji also hurriedly picked up the wine bottle in front of him and said, "Brother Ziyongxian, please!" ”
After the two of them drank all the wine in the bottle, Huang Hu asked curiously: "Brother Yuantu, you are the long history of the Marquis of Yixiang, you don't help the Marquis of Yixiang in Jizhou City to run government affairs, what are you doing in the poor countryside of the younger brother?" ”
Feng Ji just picked up the chopsticks and was about to feast, when he heard this question from Huanghu, he could only put the chopsticks down, sighed and said, "It's hard to say!" ”
"Brother Yuantu, what's wrong?" Huang Hu asked with concern: "But it's okay to say, the little brother listens." ”
"You're friends, and I'm not going to hide it from you. Now Jizhou has already fallen into the hands of Han Zhan, the son of Han Fu, and I retreated to Yecheng with my lord, I thought that this son could be restrained, but I didn't expect him to gain an inch, and led a large army to besiege Yecheng. Feng Ji said pitifully: "Pity me Yecheng is isolated, the siege is not long, the city was broken by Jizhou soldiers and horses, I and the lord when the city was broken, luckily escaped with my life." ”
When Huang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yuantu, I don't know where the Marquis of Yi is now?" ”
Feng Ji picked up his chopsticks, pointed to the south, and said, "Go south." ”
When Huang An heard this, he couldn't help but interject and asked, "Uncle Feng, the little nephew has something unclear, and I ask my uncle to make it clear." ”
"What?" Feng Ji asked.
After Huang An glanced at his younger brother Huang Shi, he said with some hesitation: "When my second brother and I went out of Zhuangzi to ride a horse, we saw a team of cavalry passing in front of Zhuang, I don't know if my uncle was among them at that time?" ”
Regarding Huang An's question, Feng Ji did not hide it, but replied truthfully: "The virtuous nephew is right, I am indeed among them." ”
Feng Ji's words made Huang Hu a little puzzled: "Brother Yuantu, since you have passed through the younger brother's Zhuangzi, why did you pass through the village and not enter?" Could it be that he is worried that the little brother will be slow to stay with the Marquis of Yixiang? ”
"No, no." Feng Ji hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My lord is now a frightened bird, and he is afraid that the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will catch up at any time, so he desperately fled south. ”
"Heading south?" Huang Hu frowned and thought about it, and asked Feng Ji tentatively: "Brother Yuantu, is it possible for a certain non-Yi Xianghou to go to Yuan Highway?" ”
"Although my father-in-law and Yuan Highway are brothers, they have always been at odds." Feng Ji replied: "Now that I go to the end of the road, I will definitely be snubbed by Yuan Highway." Therefore, my father-in-law planned to go to Xuzhou to join Tao Gongzu. ”
"Tao Gongzu is upright and friendly, and he must be kind to the Marquis of Yi." After Huang Hu said this, his brows furrowed even tighter: "Since the Marquis of Yi Xianghou went to Xuzhou, why did Brother Yuantu appear here?" ”
Feng Ji naturally couldn't tell Huanghu that he planned to abandon Yuan Shao, if he really told the truth, maybe the other party would cut off his robe and break his righteousness. hurriedly said perfunctorily: "Although the foundation of Jizhou has been lost, in Bohai County, there are still young sons Yuan Shang and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. I was ordered by the lord to go to Bo to be safe. ”
Huang Hu didn't expect that Feng Ji was deceiving him, but he believed it and asked a little curiously: "Brother Yuantu, for such a trivial matter, just send a messenger, why do you have to ask Brother Yuantu to go on a trip in person?" ”
"Brother Ziyong Xian doesn't know." Feng Ji decided to continue to fool Huanghu: "It's a long way to the Bohai Sea, if it's an ordinary messenger, I'm afraid something will happen on the road." Moreover, even if Shang Gongzi saw the messenger, he would have doubts about the authenticity of the letter, so the lord specially arranged for me to go to Bohai. ”
After the banquet was dispersed, Huanghu arranged for a rest. Feng Ji lay on the couch and began to think in his mind: this place is not suitable for a long time, but after leaving this place, where should he go? It is obviously impossible to go north to the Bohai Sea. Not to mention whether he can reach the Bohai Sea smoothly, even if he can reach the Bohai Sea, it is not a matter for him to follow Yuan Shang, who is weak. Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou and Han Zhan of Jizhou, both of them hate themselves to the core, and they can't wait to eat themselves. Going to the Bohai Sea is equivalent to going to death.
If you don't go to Bohai, where should you go? Or rather, which prince should I go to? Zhang Miao and Zhang Yang, this kind of person who only looks forward to Yuan Shao's ability is mediocre, and sooner or later he will be swallowed up by others; Cao Cao is a good choice, but it's a pity that he is now friendly with the Han family's children, and he may give his head to the Han family's children in exchange for more benefits.
After thinking about it, Feng Ji finally made a decision that he couldn't believe: to the west, go to Beijing, and defect to Li Dao, Guo Yan and others. It is said that not long ago, they had a big battle by the Yellow River because the Han family sent someone to kidnap the Son of Heaven, and the two sides are now incompatible, if they go to them, it may be the best choice at present. If it is possible, I will instigate Li Guo and the others again, and let them Xingbing and the Han family children fight to the death.
After making up his mind, Feng Ji's heart was finally no longer entangled, so he closed his eyes and lay down on the couch and fell asleep soundly.
slept until the next morning, under the waiter sent by Huanghu, Feng Ji took a hot bath and ate a hearty breakfast before putting on the new clothes prepared for him by Huanghu and going to Huanghu to talk to him.
Huang Hu was sitting in the living room, talking to the housekeeper in the village, when he was ploughing, he saw Feng Ji coming in from outside, and hurriedly sent the housekeeper away in a few words, and then got up and said hello to Feng Ji: "Brother Yuantu, did you sleep well last night?" ”
"It's good, it's good!" Feng Ji said with a haha: "Thank you Ziyongxian for your kindness, let Brother Wei sleep here." ”
"Brother Yuantu," Huang Hu asked politely, "I wonder when you will leave for Bohai?" ”
Hearing Huang Hu say this, Feng Ji immediately turned his face and said unhappily: "What, Brother Ziyongxian, do you think that my brother is causing trouble for you here?" ”
"Brother Yuantu misunderstood." Huang Hu originally asked casually, but when he saw Feng Ji, he had a straight face, like someone who borrowed his millet to repay his chaff, and hurriedly explained: "The younger brother and the elder brother have not seen each other for a long time, and I want to keep the elder brother in the village for a few more days." ”
"So that's the case, it seems that my brother misunderstood." Feng Jigan laughed a few times and said to Huanghu: "Since Brother Ziyong is gracious, then Brother Wei will stay in the village for a few more days." ”
Feng Ji picked up his chopsticks, pointed to the south, and said, "Go south." ”
When Huang An heard this, he couldn't help but interject and asked, "Uncle Feng, the little nephew has something unclear, and I ask my uncle to make it clear." ”
"What?" Feng Ji asked.
