Chapter 139: Losing Cai Yan
Chapter 139: Losing Cai Yan
was only shaken by the spring breeze, and the color withered early. -------Northern song dynasty. Zhu Dunru's "Fortune Operator. Burning a Peach"
It is said that Chen Long was worried about the war in Chang'an, and was ready to find a way to steal the jade seal with Lu Chang in exchange for the support of Yuan Shu's Nanyang soldiers, so as to further weaken Dong Zhuo's peripheral garrison troops.
Chen Long hid Diao Chan in the golden house, chatting with the beautiful woman when he had nothing to do, and gradually became acquainted. Because he didn't dare to hire a foreign servant, Lu Chang often helped Xiaochan supply her daily necessities, and she frowned with Xiaochan, and the two gradually had a good feeling.
On this day, when Chen Long heard that Cai Yan was visiting, he was unexpected, and hurriedly said goodbye from Diao Chan. Diao Chan saw that Chen Long hurriedly got up to greet Cai Yan, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and asked Miss Cai Wenji, who is in the world, Chen Long nodded and left. Diao Chan glanced at Xiaochan, Xiaochan understood, came over with her ears, listened to Diao Chan's command, and her big eyes flickered and blinked.
Cai Yan was dressed in an otherworldly, elegant and fresh manner, and discussed with Chen Long in the Xuan Hall how to save the people. Chen Long finally supported the past, and before Cai Yan left, he suddenly asked, "General White Tiger, should my father stay away from the court?" Rapids retreating? ”
Chen Longxin said that it should be too much, Dong Zhuo is regarded by the world as a thief of the country. With such a lord, there is only perdition. Although Cai Yong is nominally a Hanchen, everyone in the world knows that he has accepted Dong Zhuo's key promotion in order to be in a high position, once Dong Zhuo has something, how can Cai Yong be alone?
But before the words came out, Chen Long was a little hesitant about what to say, after all, he was "Yan Baihu". After thinking about it, he said, "Thank you for your trust." When Miss Wen Ji asked this, she must have already had the answer in her heart. No matter what Miss thinks, my answer is the same as Miss. ”
Cai Wenji was slightly disappointed and said goodbye, and Chen Long walked out of the Xuan Hall with him. Seeing Lu Chang and the two short soldiers behind him standing guard at the door, he nodded disappreciatively and sent Cai Wenji out of the mansion. Cai Wenji looked back and said goodbye, and boarded the carriage at the entrance of the alley a little depressed.
Chen Long watched the most civilized beauty of the Three Kingdoms board the car, and sighed slightly in his heart, lamenting that although the Three Kingdoms are full of heroes, they are also a society where people eat people. Although Cai Yong is in a high position, he doesn't know which day he will be killed again.
Turning around and returning to the Xuan Hall, Lu Chang and the two soldiers behind him were still standing guard. This time, Chen Long stopped talking to Lu Chang, and suddenly heard Lu Chang sneering behind his back, and when he looked up carefully, he saw that the two boys in military uniforms turned out to be two big beauties, who were Diao Chan and her maid Xiaochan.
Chen Long was startled, and hurriedly raised his hand to slap Lu Chang's head, and shouted, "You kid is so bold!" Quick, let's all go into the hall. ”
Lu Chang covered his head a little embarrassed, Xiaochan saw that he was deflated, and hurriedly walked around to Lu Chang and said, "General, don't blame him, it's all my fault." ”
Diao Chan didn't mean to apologize, and said with a light smile: "We are here to peek at Cai Yan's sister, and it has nothing to do with you." Saying that, he led Xiaochan and the two back to the backyard, leaving Chen Long helpless behind him with his cheeks puffed out.
Lu Chang coughed and said, "Ahem...... Lord, it's really boring for them to stay......" Chen Long waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”
Lu Chang followed Chen Long into the house, bowing his head and waiting to be criticized. I only heard Chen Long's voice coming: "Tonight, I want to go into the palace with you to steal the jade seal." How can you strike at the east and west, or divert the tiger away from the mountain, and let Niu Fu's kid's troops get out of the way for a while? ”
Lu Chang is not Guo Jia or Zhou Budo, scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, he is still at a loss. Chen Long spread out on the Taishi's chair and said, "Discuss with you kid, it's better for me to think about it myself." ”
Lu Chang hurriedly said: "Yes, lord, your subordinates don't have your brains, and they are not as good as a few military advisors." However, the subordinates feel that stealing the jade seal must go through that tunnel, that is, how to leave our mansion without knowing it, which is embarrassing. ”
Chen Long sneered: "What you said is not a plan at all, that's the truth, okay......" I don't know if it is the fact that Lu Chang said that his brain is not smart, or if it is a fact that he can't secretly leave the mansion.
Lu Chang stood there with a black line, no longer speaking. However, Lu Chang's words still touched a certain nerve, and Chen Long only felt a move in his heart, and said to himself: "Beigong is estimated to be very closely guarded by Dong Zhuojun, and we are not familiar with the terrain in the dark, so it is too dangerous to directly visit Beigong at night." Tunnel...... There are several entrances and exits in the tunnel. ”
When Lu Chang heard this, he was not convinced, and said in his heart that what the lord said was also nonsense. Chen Long continued his train of thought and said: "The entrance and exit of the North Palace and the Bishan Mountain are impossible, but the entrance of the upper palace is not the entrance......
Lu Chang slandered again, and said in his heart that the point should be that he couldn't leave the mansion with a valid reason. If you can leave smoothly, Niu Fu is not suspicious, then even if it is a sea of swords and fires, I Lu Chang and the lord will go together.
Chen Long suddenly slapped his head, startled Lu Chang, who was distracted, and hurriedly asked, "The lord is really smart." Got a solution? ”
Chen Long was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, you are really good at slapping, and you are not in vain in the rich circle in Kyoto." He lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember, but there is a tunnel in the southwest of the entrance of the temple?" ”
Lu Chang was not a stupid person, and suddenly realized: "Oh~, yes, that tunnel seems to be used by the emperor to visit the kiln?" Did the lord say that we would go to the kiln tonight? ”
Chen Long smiled: "Why not? Could it be that Niu Fu also followed the kiln? Even if he sent someone to keep an eye on him, he couldn't keep an eye on the bed. Let's count tonight as a pathfinder, and even if we can't find the entrance to the tunnel, there's nothing to lose. But don't let them know, ruin my reputation. ”
Lu Chang hurriedly stood up and said: "I promise to keep it secret for the lord." Chen Long kicked him with a smile and said, "Confidentiality? I see that Xiaochan is flattering to you, and you will become a big traitor. Lu Chang had a dark face and wanted to explain, but Long Chen didn't give him a chance and continued: "I see that the tunnel is biased to the southwest, and it is indeed the direction of the Red Sleeve Garden. However, there are several large brothels concentrated in that location, but I don't know which one the emperor uses? ”
Seeing that Lu Chang didn't speak, Long Chen snorted, "It's in vain to ask you." It made Lu Chang eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Chen Long continued to analyze: "The big brothels are full of people coming and going, and if you say that you are going to open a tunnel for the emperor, it doesn't seem to be secret and safe enough. If I were the emperor......" Lu Chang suddenly took over and said, "Lord, calling yourself the emperor is a crime of killing your head." ”
Chen Long laughed angrily at Lu Chang, and his train of thought was broken, so he had to think again.
"If I were the emperor, I would definitely disguise myself and enter a brothel for entertainment. If the tunnel entrance is opened in a brothel, will the brothel elders not know? It's too unsafe to say again. ”
"Then it is better to set up a tunnel entrance in the courtyard near the brothel, or even hide under the roof tiles, so that others will not be aware of it. After the emperor went out of the tunnel, he rested and dressed up in this courtyard, and then went to the brothel to spend money, returned to the courtyard after finishing his work, and returned to the dormitory from the tunnel, which was really unaware. ”
Lu Chang listened to it and said: "Even if you let someone call a few red aunts to the courtyard for entertainment, it is enough for the emperor to be cool!" It's more secure and private. ”
Chen Long slapped Lu Chang's thigh heavily and said, "Ah! Let's check tonight to see if there are any big high rollers, and from time to time order a few girls to go out to serve together? ”
Lu Chang covered his thighs and said with a bitter face: "Lord, if you beat me again and hurt me, I will tell Xiaochan to go ......" Chen Long directly gave him a big roll of his eyes and said: "Traitor!" ”
The plan between the two has been decided, and Chen Long said again: "Zhao Da's side, don't risk frequent contact for the time being." I only have one thing, I have to go to him first. ”
Lu Chang nodded, waiting for the lord to continue. "When Wang Yun was demoted a few days ago, what was the situation of several of his friends who united against Dong? Which forces are they colluding with? At present, we know that only Yang Xun seems to be colluding with Cao Cao, and other forces behind it, such as Yang Xun, the commander of Sili, Huang Wan, Zheng Gongye, Yang Zhan, the commander of Zuo, and Sun Rui, the ruling Jinwushi, are not very clear. This requires Zhao Da to use his connections and send someone to investigate, and I will use it in the future. Lu Chang listened to it and went to arrange it.
Besides, Cai Yan, after leaving the Yan Mansion, was quite uneasy, sat in the carriage, lowered the curtain, and thought about his thoughts in the slight shaking of the carriage. His father was proficient in music and rhythm, talented, proficient in scripture and history, good at diction, and calligraphy was quite accomplished and famous. is so amazing and brilliant, he has always been a leader of the literati. But he is simple by nature, not good at politics, too emotional, and easy to be manipulated; The family concept is very strong, but he rarely asks about the people's suffering. Now that my father has deeply waded into the muddy waters of Dong Zhuo's abolition, how can I find a way to let my father get out and escape this catastrophe?
Miss Wen Ji's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and she didn't realize that the carriage was not going home at all. A moment later, the carriage drove into a large mansion by the Luoshui River, and came to an abrupt stop, the coachman got out of the carriage, threw the whip, and bowed to the middle-aged man who came out of the hall to greet him: "My lord, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
When the car stopped suddenly, Cai Wenji had just woken up from deep thought, and thought that she had arrived home, but she was strange that the maids did not greet her, when suddenly the curtain of the car door was lifted, and a deep voice came: "Please Miss Cai Yan get out of the car." ”
The red sun was falling, Chen Long and Lu Chang put on brocade clothes, brought a few guards, and rode horses to prepare to go out to visit the kiln. Seeing that Niu Fu was still guarding "loyally" at the door, Chen Long hugged his fists and said, "General Niu, hurry up and change your clothes and go with me to the man's favorite place, hahaha." ”
Niu Fu was originally very interested in visiting the kiln, but he still had to pretend to be loyal, so he had to refuse sourly. He scolded angrily in his heart: "It's the same dog under the Taishi, why is the treatment different!" ”
Long Chen smiled, and was about to set off, when suddenly a carriage came from the corner. Chen Long waited with a squeak, and the carriage squeaked to stop, and there were a few panting family members running behind him.
The curtain of the car door was lifted, and a person dressed in a homely dress came out, and when he looked closely, it was Cai Yong. Chen Long vaguely felt that something was going to happen, and exclaimed, "Why did Lord Cai come here lightly?" Is something wrong, Miss Cai? ”
Cai Yong said anxiously: "Disturb the general." Today, the little girl once said that she came to visit the general, and she returned in the afternoon, who knew that the sun was setting, and these family members who were originally accompanied came back, saying that they were knocked unconscious halfway, and they let people rob the young lady in broad daylight! The general has a clue! ”
