Section 18: Guan Yan is an official
According to Chen Deng's plan, Guan Yan and his entourage set off to Linzi, the Qingzhou Governance Office. According to the information inquired, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai is recruiting Xiang Yong to fight against the Yellow Turban, and this is the most likely court official to fight with Du Yuan. Along the way, everyone moved forward cautiously, because now the Yellow Turban Army and the official army in Qingzhou are likely to kill Guan Yan's team, at this time, Guan Yan is like a mouse crossing the street, paying attention to the wind and grass around him at any time. It wasn't until he saw the city wall of Linzi that Guan Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Guan Yan vaguely saw the patrol soldiers walking back and forth on the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall naturally saw Guan Yan's men and horses.
After a while, the gate of Linzi City was opened, and more than 100 cavalry poured out of the city, rushing towards Guan Yan and others. The black-faced general shouted, "Who is here?" Guan Yan raised his hand to stop the people behind him, lifted the horse whip, hugged his fists and said: "I am Qingzhou Guan Yan, today the Yellow Turban thieves are committing chaos, Yan Wen assassinated Lord Shi to recruit Xiang Yong, and specially led fifty generals to serve the country!" The general nodded slightly when he heard this, and said: "A certain is Ji Ling, the general of Qingzhou, if you have the intention of serving the country, come with me." As he spoke, he waved his hand to let the officers and soldiers step aside, signaling Guan Yan's team to go ahead first. Ji Ling's move was obviously guarding against Guan Yan, letting Guan Yan be in front and his team was watching behind.
But Guan Yan didn't care, because he was now shocked by the name "Ji Ling", Ji Ling is still well-known in the Three Kingdoms, and there are few people in the Three Kingdoms who can fight with Guan Gong for thirty rounds. Guan Yan originally thought that there were many people with the same name and surname in this world, but when he saw the three-pointed two-edged knife in Ji Ling's hand and the powerful body, Guan Yan was convinced that this should be Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu. Guan Yan was in a daze, but it made Ji Lingzhang and the second monk confused, Ji Ling shouted a few times, and Guan Yan was awakened from his daydream. Guan Yan smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and ordered: "Enter the city!" ”
Guan Yan's team slowly entered Linzi City, and more than 100 cavalry led by Ji Ling followed vigilantly, after all, Guan Yan's fifty horsemen were strong horses, so it was better to be careful. Guan Yan and the others worked day and night for more than half a month, and at this time, the tense nerves relaxed, and the mood was also very good. As soon as everyone's stiff bodies relaxed, their bodies swayed from side to side with the horses' steps, and the buildings on both sides of the street also attracted everyone to look left and right. From the back, it looks like a rich kid traveling. This made Ji Ling's vigilance relax a little.
Walked along the street for about a stick of incense and came to Linzi's Thorn History Mansion, there were more than 20 young men queuing up in front of a table next to the door of the mansion, and an old man of about fifty was sitting behind the table and was busy recording with a pen. Ji Ling tapped the horse's belly with his feet, slowly walked to Guan Yan's side and said: "This is my Qingzhou recruitment office, Lord Thorn Shi heard that Gongzi led the crowd to help, and specially invited Gongzi to enter the mansion for a while." "Oh?!" Hearing this news, Guan Yan was not too surprised, because he understood the value of his fifty cavalry in this era. Guan Yan bowed his hand to Xie Ji Ling and said, "Na Yan will enter the mansion first to meet Lord Thorn Shi, and these fifty brothers will trouble General Ji to settle down." Ji Ling replied: "Son, don't worry." Guan Yan turned around and walked in front of Chen Deng and Zhou Cang and said, "General Zhou, everything is arranged by Yuan Long, don't make a mistake!" Although Zhou Cang was still not satisfied with Chen Deng, he still listened to Guan Yan's words, and hurriedly replied: "Oh! Guan Yan nodded, and said to Chen Deng again: "Everything is in trouble with Yuanlong." Chen Deng nodded and replied at any time. Guan Yan walked into the Thorn History Mansion with peace of mind.
Before Guan Yan entered the main hall, a person in an official uniform came out, only to see that this person had a wide forehead and short beard, a white and thin face, and a pair of thin eyes that made this person quite capable. This person laughed and said, "The one who came is the prince in charge?" Guan Yan saw that this person must be the Qingzhou assassin Tian Kai, and hurriedly said: "Lord Tian greeted him personally, and Yan was very frightened. As soon as the words fell, Tian Kai had already walked in front of Guan Yan, supported Guan Yan and said, "Come on, come on, follow me into the house." ”
Guan Yan followed Tian Kai into the main hall, and after the host and guest sat separately, Tian Kai instructed his subordinates to serve tea. The two took a sip of tea, and Tian Kai said: "Gongzi led the crowd to help me, Linzi is very lucky, Qingzhou is very lucky, and Dahan is very lucky!" Guan Yan said in panic: "Lord Tian is serious, only fifty horses, just a little meager effort." Tian Kai shook his head and said: "The difference between Gongzi's words is that the ancients said: 'Water drops wear stones, and sand gathers into a tower.'" 'If all the prominent families in the world contribute to quelling the rebellion like a son, the world will be sure to be around the corner! Guan Yan now understood that Tian Kai was so polite, not only because of the strength of the fifty cavalry, but also because he hoped to use himself as an example to call on the world's famous families to contribute. Guan Yan nodded and said, "What Lord Tian said is very true! Tian Kai touched his beard and continued: "Now I am still vacant in Qingzhou for the post of Governor of the Sect, and the prince will be appointed for the time being, and he will make meritorious contributions in the future, and then report to the court and your promotion." Guan Yan didn't know what this "subordinate governor" was doing, but he still stood up and said, "Lord Xie, if there is nothing else to do, the subordinates will retire first." Tian Kai was still quite satisfied with Guan Yan's attitude, and picked up the teacup and signaled Guan Yan to retreat.
After Guan Yan walked out of the Assassin's Mansion and came to the residence of Chen Deng and others according to the guidance of the soldiers, Guan Yan walked directly into Chen Deng's house and told Chen Deng about the conversation with Tian Kai, Chen Deng thought for a moment and said: "According to what Gongzi said, Tian Qingzhou is a kind person, and he has never had any suspicions about Gongzi, but he does not respect Gongzi as much as he seems in his heart. Guan Yan nodded seriously, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Yuanlong, where is the subordinate governor?" Chen Deng laughed when he heard this: "The people in the city who wear official uniforms are all officials above you." Only then did Guan Yan understand that this "subordinate governor" was a sesame official. Chen Deng asked suspiciously: "Gongzi Wanghailou's poetry is very good, why don't you know my Han official system?" Guan Yan could only reply embarrassedly: "Yan is from a low background and has little contact with political affairs. When Chen Deng heard this, he naturally didn't ask any more questions, and the two talked in detail until late at night before going back to their rooms to sleep. ------------ support more collections, please leave more valuable comments.
