Chapter 59: Departure to Luoyang
"Grandpa, you must take care of yourself, I will be back in the first month of next year at the latest, and you must take care of grandpa when Yingying is not at home." Tang Zheng first said to Grandpa Cheng, and then turned to Cheng Ying, who was standing beside Grandpa Cheng. Today is the day when Tang Zheng got up and went to Luoyang, and Grandpa Cheng and Cheng Ying got up early in the morning to see Tang Zheng off.
"Brother Zheng, don't worry, I will take care of my grandfather."
"Well, Yingying has grown up, and she has to share some things for the family, so the burden of taking care of her grandfather will be handed over to Yingying. Don't worry, the eldest brother will be back tomorrow. ”
"Well, Brother Zheng, you should also take care of your body outside, and remember to eat and sleep on time."
"I know, everything at home is up to Yingying." Tang Zheng touched Yingying's head with a smile, then turned to Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, the defense of Rinshan and Tuyan will be handed over to you, and the training of the cavalry cannot be stopped, what can you discuss with your grandfather and eldest brother during my absence." ”
"Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely train you a strong cavalry. As long as I'm around, I promise I won't let Rinkan and the mounds go wrong. When the Commander returns, I will definitely hand over Mt. Rin and the mound to the Captain. ”
"Well, I'm relieved to have Zilong's words. Zilong, the matter of cavalry does not have to be rushed, everything must be done step by step. After speaking, Tang Zheng said to the people who saw them off: "Everyone, please leave everything to everyone, I will come back in the first month of next year at the latest." ”
"Don't worry, we will not disappoint the expectations of Duwei (Childe), take care of yourself all the way." Everyone said in unison. Tang Zheng turned over and signaled to Zhang Chao, and everyone rode away.
In the evening, Tang Zheng sat under a tree and took the water bag handed by Zhang Chao and asked, "Zhang Chao, how many miles have we walked today?" "Childe, we have walked about sixty or seventy miles today."
"Well, it's almost the end of the day, let's find a suitable camp and set up a tent. Looks like we won't be able to catch up with the next town today. ”
"Okay son, I'll arrange it." After Zhang Chao finished speaking, he turned around and went down. At this time, Tang Zheng was more nostalgic for the means of transportation in later generations, unlike now, which is more than 1,000 kilometers from Tuyuan to Luoyang. Even if you walk 60 miles a day on horseback, it will take nearly 20 days, and in the future life, if you take an airplane, it will only take more than an hour.
After a while, the tent was set up, and everyone began to bury the pot and cook. During this time, Tang Zheng was busy with government affairs and lacked exercise, and today he only rode a horse for sixty or seventy miles, and he felt a little unbearable, so Tang Zheng went to rest early after dinner.
After a night's rest the next day, Tang Zheng felt that the soreness on his body had decreased a lot, especially the sides of his thighs no longer hurt as much as yesterday. Tang Zheng stepped out of the tent, Zhang Chao had already prepared toiletries, and Tang Zheng finished washing and hastily finished breakfast. The crowd began to pack up and salute, and the day's journey began again.
Fifteen days later, "Childe is Chen Liu, and when we arrive at Chenliu, we are not far from Luoyang, but my subordinates don't understand why we want to detour to Chenliu, Childe?" ”
"Brother Wu has an old man in Chenliu, and he asked me to visit the old man." After half a month of traveling, Tang Zheng and his party have long lost their former looks.
"Zhang Chao, you will ask someone to inquire where a strong man named Dian Wei lives, and then report after inquiring clearly." Tang Zheng instructed Zhang Chao beside him.
"No, Childe's subordinates will let people inquire." After speaking, Zhang Chao turned around and instructed the people around him. Tang Zheng rode his horse towards the city.
"Guest officer, do you live in a hotel or do you want to be sharpened?" The shopkeeper warmly greeted Tang Zheng and his party who stepped into the door. Although Tang Zheng and his entourage looked dusty, the whole feeling was like a spear standing proudly. The shopkeeper is also well-informed, and has seen many people who have traveled from south to north. But no one has ever felt so depressed and dull as Tang Zheng and his party, as if they were facing a wild beast.
"Bring me your signature dish first, and then go and open me a few rooms." Tang Zheng said to the shopkeeper. "Okay, wait, guest officer, please take a seat." The shopkeeper beckoned Tang Zheng and his party to take a seat, and hurriedly served tea and poured water.
"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you if someone doesn't know if the store knows?" Zhang Chao got Tang Zheng's eyes and asked the shopkeeper.
"Guest officer, please ask, it's not me who brags, there is no one more well-informed than me in Chenliu." The shopkeeper said to Zhang Chao flatteringly.
"I don't know, does the store know about a person named Dian Wei?" Hearing Zhang Chao's question, the shopkeeper's body trembled obviously, and his face was a little ugly.
"Why, the store doesn't know, or is there something unspeakable in it?" At this time, Tang Zheng asked.
"Objective, you are from other places, so let's mix up Dian Wei's affairs. It's not that the little ones don't know, it's the small ones who don't dare to say it. ”
"Oh, is there really something unsightly in this?"
The shopkeeper looked left and right, leaned his head close to Tang Zheng's ear, and whispered: "Guest officer, don't you know, Dian Wei killed someone and is now wanted by the government." As long as it is a person related to Dian Wei, the current government is to see one and arrest another. Guest, I advise you to inquire less so as not to get into trouble. ”
"How so? Is it a crime to inquire about a person? Zhang Chao said.
"This guest officer, don't you know that Dian Wei killed Li Yong, and Li Yong is the magistrate of Fuchun County because he has a grudge against the Liu family in Xiangyi. In order to help the Liu family avenge their grievances, Dian Wei killed Li Yong's family in the downtown area and left. Now the government has gone down to the sea to arrest Dian Wei, and anyone who does not report it is regarded as the same party to arrest him. I don't know what a few people have to do with Dian Wei, if there is a relationship, please get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
"Well, we know, thank you for your kindness." After speaking, Tang Zheng glanced at Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it to the shopkeeper, who said happily: "Thank you for the reward." Tang Zheng waved his hand and motioned for him to go down first.
"Childe, what now? It seems that the Dian Wei is no longer there. ”
"Well, in that case, let's rest for the night today and leave for Luoyang tomorrow."
After the group had eaten and drunk enough, they walked upstairs under the leadership of the shopkeeper. Dian Wei is one of Tang Zheng's goals in Luoyang this time, last time I heard Wu Yifan say that he had an old relationship with Dian Wei, the reason why he detoured to stay Tang Zheng this time was to come for Dian Wei, who knew that Dian Wei was no longer Chen Liu. Dian Wei is a tiger general in the Three Kingdoms, although he died in Wancheng in the end, he still succeeded in dragging the enemy and letting Cao Cao break through, which can be regarded as loyalty.
