In April, most of the ice and snow have melted, and the water along the river has begun to become rapid, and the river is mighty from the upper reaches of the river, and when it reaches the area of Deyanzhou, the sound is gradually rising, but this feeling is not the same as what I saw in Donglai in the past.

The mighty convoy marched on the riverside, the convoy was gathered by the wealthy businessmen in the Qingzhou area, and they were divided and merged along the way, some continued to go west, and some had already left along the way.

"It's not a peaceful year, if it was a few years ago, there was no need for such a large number of people to go together, and it was good to say in the wilderness, when we were going to enter the city, the soldiers who defended the city looked at us like thieves." A big man with a beard looked at the river and complained: "But in the wild, if there are fewer people, it is easy to be targeted by those bandits." ”

"This caravan is all from the major wealthy merchants in Qingzhou, and some people dare to rob it?" The young man who sat on the wheel of the carriage and admired the scenery along the way answered with a smile.

"Chen Gongzi doesn't know." The bearded man shook his head and sighed: "Not before, but in the past two years, there have been traitors everywhere, although the yellow turban thief was defeated, but its momentum is huge, the son must have heard of it, right?" ”

This Chen Gongzi obviously has a background, and he walks south and north with a beard, and his eyes are still very bright, but this son seems to be different from the family he has seen before, and he does not have that kind of lofty arrogance, they speak to make people feel like a spring breeze, this son is also connected, and he is very knowledgeable, it seems that there is nothing he doesn't know.

In the past few days, I have been walking together, and I have been mingling with them, and I don't have the sense of alienation that I used to be cautious in front of the sons of the wealthy families, and I can let go, although the other party's temperament is incompatible with a rough person like them, but it is strangely very harmonious, which makes the new retail investors quite surprised.

"Naturally, I was personally involved in it back then, and I almost lost my life." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this.

"Chen Gongzi said crazy things again, when the yellow turban thieves were rampant, how old were you? I'm afraid I'm still a child, right? A group of men who were familiar with Chen Mo coaxed.

"It has nothing to do with age, does it?" The young boy stroked the long sword, shook his head and smiled, and didn't care about everyone's coaxing.

"Childe, drink water!" The delicate maid poked her head out of the carriage and handed the kettle to her son.

"Aunt Juan'er, I'm also thirsty, why don't you bring me some water?" The bearded man laughed.

Juan'erqiao's face was slightly red, obviously not used to the rough words of these people, and closed up with them, there are many of those three-minded and nine-rate people in Dangli County.

"My maidservant brings water, do you think too much?" The young man laughed, half jokingly.

The young man holding the knife sitting at the other end of the car glanced at them lightly, and the bearded man didn't continue to joke, it's okay to joke, but if you really treat people as mud, it's really stupid.

Not to mention the young man with the knife, just the twelve men accompanying the rear of Chen Gongzi's convoy, although they were dressed as ordinary guards, but the momentum that occasionally revealed during the walk, those with some eyesight knew that this pedestrian was not easy to provoke.

It's just a meeting in Pingshui, looking at each other and making fun of each other, but people have already shown rejection and have to go on, such people generally don't live too long when they come out to run business.

"It's been a bit chaotic lately, but generally larger caravans also have a hundred and ten people, right? Ordinary bandits don't have the guts to commit it, right? "Chen Gongzi is naturally Chen Mo, since saying goodbye to his teacher and embarking on the road to Luoyang, Chen Mo took the people to join a caravan, this year is indeed not peaceful, there are many people and the road is better, and Chen Mo also likes to make friends, the three sects and the nine streams, also have their wisdom, mixing with these people and mixing with scholars, it is a different feeling, as if two worlds.

"In the past, it wouldn't, but now, the thieves on this road don't know how to go, and in the past, there were rules for thieves to rob the road, which is like now, everyone comes to rob the road, and they don't pay attention to the rules, the money has to be robbed, and people have to be killed, and I wait for these traders to run with their heads now." The bearded man sighed: "But Chen Gongzi doesn't have to worry, this gang of thieves is not looting indiscriminately, if it is really those big wealthy businessmen, they dare to move, unite a few to fight, but when they meet us like this, they don't have much value in themselves, if they really want to do it, they won't feel good, generally see me and so on, but it is the safest, the most robbed, everyone pooled some money to give them, and it passed." ”

Chen Mo groped his chin and nodded, but the truth was also true, the thieves robbed the Tao, and it was also for money.

However, the current situation is not a good thing for the Han Dynasty, and thieves are everywhere and blocking the main roads, which is undoubtedly worse for the Han Dynasty.

"It's a tough day." In the end, Chen Mo shook his head and smiled, this kind of thing, it was not his turn to worry about it.

"But I heard that the imperial court issued an edict again, and the state assassination history was changed to state pastor, it seems that it is to make it more convenient for various places to suppress bandits." In the crowd, a man on horseback laughed.

"Is that so?" When Chen Mo heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the man, although he was riding a horse, he should not be tall, about six feet, about thirty years old, with a beard under his chin, and his appearance was ...... Chen Mo generally doesn't like to evaluate the appearance of others, so he will seem to be a little show-off, he can only say that he doesn't want to see more, although so, but this person is obviously very ugly, but he is arrogant and self-generated, which makes people can't help but feel close, he remembers that this person was just added yesterday, and like him, he was in a hurry rather than a businessman, and said with a slight fist: "Where did you know about it, brother?" ”

"Don't say." The man rode his horse to Chen Mo's car, looked at Chen Mo curiously, and said, "Guan Gongzi's expression, it seems that he thinks this matter is inappropriate?" ”

"If you just deal with these four thieves, this move will add to the duties of the states, and it can indeed quell the thieves, but it's just ......" Chen Mo shook his head and diverted the topic: "I don't know what this big brother is called?" ”

"Under the surname Cao, the word Mengde."

Mengde ...... Mr. Chen Mo originally wanted to call Brother Meng De, but the other party was much older than his teacher, so he couldn't say it, and at the same time, he looked at Cao Cao with a strange gaze, and he didn't understand why this person was here?

"Mr. doesn't dare to be, how old is the eldest son, just like a brother."

Mengde ...... Elder brother? Chen Mo felt a little strange, it was strange to call a brother to a person who was old enough to be his father.

"Chen Gongzi doesn't seem to approve of the imperial court's move?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and asked with a smile.

"It's a little inappropriate, but the imperial court has its own reasons, such a major event of the family and the country, how can we speculate arbitrarily?" Chen Mo shook his head, commenting on this kind of thing, isn't it a long life? I still want to go to Luoyang to develop, and then divert the topic and say: "Brother Meng De doesn't want to call me a son, I am from a poor family, I can't be called a son, my surname is Chen, my single name is Mo, there is no table word yet, Brother Meng De calls my name." ”

"Could it be that Zang Ziyuan's proud disciple? In the past two years, Chen Gongzi has been quite famous! Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and smiled, obviously knowing Chen Mo's name.

"What Meng De did during his tenure as prime minister of Jinan also made Mo very admired."

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, then glanced at Chen Mo and laughed at the same time.

The merchants who were close to each other couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this, and there was a Jinan minister in their caravan, and all of a sudden, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became restrained, and the previous atmosphere was gone.

Chen Mo and Cao Cao were suddenly a little helpless.
