Chapter 95: Secret Infiltration
Ren Yi could not successfully recruit Xu Shu, so he was no longer entangled. After resting for a few hours in Guo Jia's broken grass house, a group of six people cleaned up a little and headed towards Luoyang.
To Ren Yi's surprise, Guo Jia could also ride a horse. With Ren Yi's prejudice against Guo Jia, with his small body, it is strange that he does not fall off the horse.
People wrapped in yellow scarves along the road, and people robbed along the road in groups of three or five. But Dian Wei, Ren Yi, Wei Yan, and Xu Shu are tall and powerful, and they don't look like people with any wealth, so the bandits naturally don't bother to provoke, so as not to provoke a commotion. Most people are not Pei Yuanshao's kind of people who want horses and don't want to die.
In Luoyang in October, the autumn wind slaughtered every corner of Luoyang. The trees were bare and did not look lifeless; The flowers are also gone, and they are no longer showy; And the plum blossoms that bloom in winter have not yet arrived; The pines and cypresses standing proudly are sparsely pulled.
In the suburbs of Luoyang, the originally bustling market is now only a few stalls and a few people wandering around the market. The sons in fancy clothes who were originally powerful and reckless in the market now don't know where to cat.
The Luoyang City Gate, which was still a fierce armor guard two months ago, was replaced by two or three thin old men wearing only a few layers of cloth, with extremely inferior iron weapons in their waists and a big broom in their hands, and they were not regular soldiers at first glance.
Walking into the main city, just like the suburbs, the streets are deserted, and there are few pedestrians. The only difference is that at the boundary between the rich and poor areas of Luoyang, a high wall was built, and only a small door was left in the middle of the wall, perhaps for domestic slaves to buy goods. In front of the door, on the left and on the right, stood guards in fine armor and armed with sharp blades.
Everyone understood in an instant. It turns out that these big families have completely separated themselves from the common people with a wall.
"Brother Zijian, why do you say Ling'er and I are so miserable?" Lu Lingju complained, "Brother Zijian depicted the spectacular and lively scene, not only did I not see it, but I also saw such a disappointing picture. ”
Guo Jia said with a hippie smile: "Mastermother, now you know how wise it is for Jia to secretly go to Cai's mansion for a visit." ”
Lu Lingju chirped: "Okay, you Guo prodigal, count your blind cat and dead mouse." My aunt and grandmother are very annoyed, and the one you said has become the only fun thing. ”
Although Lu Lingju didn't like what he said, he obviously agreed to Guo Jia's proposal, and he no longer disliked Guo Jia as a person.
Lu Lingju suddenly gossiped: "Hey, Guo Langzi, you won't be the little lady of the Cai family." ”
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said with a solemn expression: "Cai Zhaoji's literary name is not inferior to that of men in the literary world. ”
"It's how many high-ranking sons and sons also dream of sleeping at night, and regard Cai Zhaoji as the goddess of their dreams."
"Cai Zhaoji, no, Cai everyone, not only is it rumored that the beauty is better than summer flowers, the body is like condensation, and the fragrance is overflowing, but more importantly, Cai is comparable to his father Cai Bokai in calligraphy, poetry, music and strategy, and Cai everyone is better than Cai Bokai in music and strategy."
"Lord, from this you know, how this Cai Zhaoji is unique."
"Although I, Guo Fengxiao, have also read a few broken books, I am just an ordinary man, and I have my own seven emotions and six desires. Don't look at my usual prodigal and disorderly behavior, I really admire everyone Cai, and I dare not have the slightest blasphemy against everyone Cai. ”
"It's just that Jia Fangcai misspoke in the wine shop, and please don't blame it."
"Jia is a sincere admirer of Cai's family. Even if Jia was lucky enough to see the faces of everyone Cai, he would die without regrets. ”
Dian Wei joked: "I said that Guo Langzi, my old man is a rough man." What Cai everyone's I am not interested, if you are looking for a woman, you have to find a woman with big breasts and big butts, and she can give birth. ”
As soon as Dian Wei's voice fell, everyone's disgusted eyes were projected, but Dian Wei didn't feel the slightest shame.
Ren Yi said: "Awei, you just don't understand the amorous feelings." ”
Guo Jia echoed: "That's it." The lord is right. ”
Wei Yan said: "In my opinion, finding a woman who makes people have the desire to conquer is what suits my Wei Yan's taste." I'm not interested in those delicate little ladies, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it. ”
Lu Lingju said slightly angrily: "Shut up!" Are you ashamed to talk about such vulgar things in front of girls? ”
The mistress spoke, and everyone obediently shut their mouths.
Ren Yi said: "Guo Langzi, you have also seen it, this Luoyang is empty, there is nothing." As far as the Cai Fu poetry meeting you said, it's quite fun. ”
"Now the question is, Cai Mansion will definitely not invite us poor sours, how can we get in?"
Guo Jia said: "My lord, although the Cai Mansion Poetry Conference will be held recently, we need to determine what day the Cai Mansion will be held, and then we will observe the terrain of the rich area to see where it is convenient for the six of us to hide." ”
Ren Yi said: "Fengxiao, look at this rich area, it is blocked, how can you survey the terrain?" ”
Guo Jia said: "Don't worry, lord. These high-ranking officials also need seven emotions and six desires, firewood, rice, oil and salt. If they don't come out, their little guy will always come out. ”
"And when the time comes, there must be a lot of traffic and horses. We can still do it even if we sneak in. ”
"What we have to do now is to find out what roads there are in Luoyang."
Ren Yi said: "The high wall here is obviously not for entertainment, but just to separate it from the people." ”
"When I was donating officials, I went to the Zhongchang Servant's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and I knew that there was an official road that could lead to the inner city, maybe it was not blocked, after all, noble princes don't like rough paths."
Guo Jia stroked his palms and said, "Lord, it's really wonderful." When I was a child, I heard my brother say that there are two ways to get to the inner city of Luoyang. ”
"A road is where we are. The second road is a secret route that only those who have donated to officials know. ”
"Presumably, this special channel for donating officials should not be closed."
Ren Yi said: "In this case, I will take everyone there, find an inn to settle down first, and wait for the beginning of the poetry meeting." ”
After everyone readily agreed, under Ren Yi's guidance, they walked for more than an hour, and finally found a small inn on that road.
As Guo Jiahe speculated, the donation road was not closed, and it was spacious enough, and it was not a problem for the two carriages to move side by side.
Everyone found an excellent observation position in the inn, and the situation in the vicinity of two or three miles could be fully seen. Next, everyone was thinking about how to infiltrate Cai's mansion.
