Zhang Pengzu felt that they were recognized wherever they went, and said with a smile: "Actually, we are also from ordinary families, not from a family of eunuchs. ”

The shopkeeper didn't bother with where they came from, and continued: "You want to find Cai Jinran, tell you, get up early tomorrow morning, continue to walk east, there is a bamboo forest there, there is a river in the middle of the bamboo forest, called Quanjiu Stream, the stream water flows down from the mountain in the north, you wait for him by the stream; Cai Jinran was a burly man, he often wore a hat on his head and a long sword at his waist, and every morning he would go up the mountain in the bamboo forest of the spring and dove stream to guard the tomb of Prince Wei. ”

"Is it like that every day?"

Zhang Pengzu asked, and the shopkeeper also nodded and said, "Yes, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, he does it every day." ”

So the three teenagers thanked the store and went back to their rooms to rest. Early the next morning, Liu Ying got up early, hurriedly woke up Zhang Pengzu and Du Tuo, and immediately rushed to Quanjiu Stream.

The morning is very quiet, the sun has just risen, the air is very fresh, the fog has not yet completely dispersed, and a small crystal clear stream can be seen flowing down from the mountain.

There is a bird's call in the bamboo forest, which is crisp and pleasant, and the breeze blows, which is refreshing.

Looking at the crystal clear water, and then looking up at the green bamboo on the hillside, Liu Ying couldn't help but wonder if his grandfather was like this more than ten years ago, resting here, and then meeting the mat weaver. Since Feng Lingjin heard the old man talk about his grandfather, and then to the detailed introduction of the store yesterday, Liu Aiji's mind is now busy talking about his grandfather's memory, although he has never met him, but there is already a clear imprint.

By this time, the sun had risen very high and the fog had gradually dissipated, but there was still no one to be seen.

"Why don't you come yet, can't he come today?"

Zhang Pengzu seemed a little anxious, but Du Tuo was very stable, only to see him comforted: "The store said that he would come every day, so I should be patient and wait." ”

After a few moments, a burly figure appeared in the distance, wearing a hat and a long sword at his waist, which was really the same as the description of the shopkeeper. The three teenagers were overjoyed when they saw it, and hurriedly ran forward, only to see Liu Ying have politely asked, "This uncle, may I ask if you are the tomb keeper of the prince's tomb." ”

The people who came looked the three teenagers up and down, especially Liu Aiji, he looked and looked, and after a while, he said, "Are you from Chang'an?" ”

Du Tuo hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Yes, we are from Chang'an, passing by here, I heard that there is a prince's tomb here, I want to come and have a look, may I ask the uncle if your surname is Cai." ”

The man was very surprised, thinking, how do they know that my surname is Cai, of course he will not think that the three teenagers are robbers, because in terms of martial arts, don't talk about the three teenagers, he is not afraid of ten of them, and then look at them, they are all scholars, not like ordinary rangers, so he said: "Yes, my name is Cai Jinran, how do you know." ”

At this time, Liu Yi had already stepped forward and said: "We heard that there is a chivalrous man named Cai Jinran, who wears a long sword at his waist and a hat on his head every morning, and goes up the mountain from here to the prince's tomb to guard the tomb; We had admired him for a long time, and we were asked to send him a letter, so we came here to meet him. ”

"Someone asked you to send me a letter, who is it?"

Cai Jinran also felt strange, at this time, Liu Yi had already taken out Zhang He's letter from the burden and handed it to Cai Jinran. After Cai Jinran received the letter, he took a closer look and was startled, and hurriedly pointed to Liu Aiji and said excitedly: "You are the great-emperor's grandson, your name is Liu Aiji..."

Liu Yiji nodded and smiled: "Exactly!" ”

Cai Jinran carefully looked at Liu Ai from head to toe, and after a while, I saw him say to himself: "Like, it's so similar, it's almost so high, and the smile is exactly the same, Your Highness, you are blessing your descendants in the spirit of heaven, and he is now watching you." ”

The more Cai Jinran spoke, the more excited he became, and he burst into tears, so excited that he pulled Liu Aiji's hand. Zhang Pengzu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, who do you mean you are sick?" ”

"Like Your Highness..."

Cai Jinran was still excited, and he didn't even say half of his words.

"Who is Your Highness, and who is Your Highness?"

Zhang Pengzu was also a second monk, and he was puzzled, and hurriedly asked.

At this time, Cai Jinran relieved himself and said with a smile: "Like his grandfather, Prince Wei." ”

Liu Ai hurriedly asked, "Where is my grandfather's grave?" ”

Cai Jinran hurriedly said: "It's on the mountain, quick, I'll take you with me to worship your grandfather." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly led the three teenagers up the mountain along the spring dove stream. Along the way, Cai Jinran was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, Zhang Pengzu and Du Tuo also introduced themselves, Cai Jinran was also overjoyed when he saw the descendants of the deceased, so he kept talking along the way: "Back then, it was Jiang Chong, the villain, and Su Wen, a half-male and half-female dog, the first emperor suffered from headaches, and they insisted that it was caused by His Highness's curse of burying Gu, hey, it made His Highness difficult to argue, and he was forced to rebel; After I was defeated, I fled to my hometown, where I hid in Dongguan Village, and later when the prince was betrayed, I learned that he was also hiding in the spring dove of Hu Jian in Dongguan Village, which is behind the place where we just met; Hey, providence is so, if I had known that His Highness was hiding there, what did those officers and soldiers count; Helplessly, when I knew that I was coming, His Royal Highness had already committed suicide, and the two little emperors and grandsons were not killed by Li Shou's dog mongrel, as well as Chen Shan's family of three. ”

Liu Yi was already busy asking: "Who is Chen Shan?" ”

"Chen Shan is the family that took in His Royal Highness, he is honest, the family makes a living by weaving mats, and is very poor; His Highness could not bear to hide in his house all the time, which had increased the burden on his family, so he sent his letter to Wang Bin, and hey, the hateful butler in Wang Bin's mansion was the one he betrayed His Highness and ran to sue the official to receive the reward; If His Highness knew that I was here at that time, if he could let Chen Shan come to me, then he would not know what happened later. ”

Hearing this, Du Tuo also asked: "If I could find you first, what will happen later?" ”

Cai Jinran thought for a moment and said: "At least I will protect His Highness, hide him, or send him a letter to Guguan to make a comeback; I heard that the emperor was only hallucinating due to headaches at that time, and he was provoked by adulterers, thinking that His Royal Highness was cursing him, so he asked people to investigate; Later, his head stopped hurting, and his mind cleared, only to know that His Highness did not curse him, so he would definitely find His Highness again and welcome him to Chang'an. ”

"What if you get it back, after all, you've already raised troops."

It seems that Du Tuo still sees the problem very deeply, and Cai Jinran can't answer it for a while.
