Chapter 4: Departure
Before the sun set, on the ancient official road, a strong horse pulled a carriage. The driver of the car wore a round straw hat on his head, a plain shirt, and a long sword pinned to his waist. There were two teenagers sleeping in the carriage, and it was Wang Ye who was sitting in the middle.
At this time, Wang Ye had already taken Ji Ling and Ji Ming to Luoyang according to Ji Lao's instructions. But Ji Lao was still not at ease, and called Xun Zheng to help Wang Ye again. In the evening, when the housekeeper returned to Ji's house, the 50,000 plants he earned from selling clothes and the 100,000 plants that Ji Lao pawned before were all handed over to Wang Ye, and then called Xun Zheng to join him, and there was also a response on the road. As for why Ji Lao believed in Wang Ye so much, of course, Wang Ye made up a relative of Wang Yun who was the Situ Wang Yun of the dynasty and fooled him, that guy, Ji Lao believed that he couldn't wait to give birth to a daughter and marry Wang Ye immediately.
Seriously, Wang Ye has a lot of impressions of Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's first general, and he is also brave in battle, if it weren't for Yuan Shu's unbearable use, if he took refuge in others earlier, Ji Ling would have been able to mix up a piece of the world. But now Ji Ling is still a little tender, after all, he hasn't experienced too much of the world. According to common sense, Ji Ling should also go to find Yuan Shu at this time, didn't he change the course of history by himself? Wang Ye looked at the outside of the carriage all the way and thought all the way
"Childe, the front is in Pyeongchang, let's go in and rest, how about leaving south for the East China Sea tomorrow?" Xun Zheng pulled the curtain and asked sideways. Because Wang Ye was the eldest of the three and was a relative of Wang Yun, who boasted about it, Ji Lao sent a message to ask the two brothers of the Ji family to listen to Wang Ye's arrangement on the way. With Ji Lao's instructions, the two brothers of the Ji family can listen to it, Xun Zheng is Ji Ling's helper, and his own sons have to listen to Wang Ye, so Xun Zheng naturally has to obey Wang Ye's arrangement.
Tomorrow Ji Lao will go east, and he will leave at the end of the day, and we will go to Luoyang for ten days and half a month, and now the Yellow Turban has just revolted, so we have to hurry as soon as possible.
"Xun Zheng, can you rush to Yangdu before you fall off the mountain?" Wang Ye felt that it was better to hurry up as soon as possible, after all, there were only four people, except for the fact that he didn't know martial arts and had only practiced archery in the archery club in the school, he didn't know any weapons. Although the martial arts of these three people are relatively good, they are afraid that it will be difficult to walk away when they encounter a large wave of yellow turban thieves.
"I can go to Yangdu before the city, but this horse has not rested, it is estimated that tomorrow will be the earliest at the end of the day, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave" Xun Zheng returned
"It's okay, we'll rest a lot, just take turns looking at the cash box at night."
"No" Xun Zheng responded.
Wang Ye opened the three money boxes under his clothes, this is the money to buy an official, if he loses it, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back. The three boxes, one twenty centimeters long and wide, and ten centimeters high, were full of Old Man Ji's hopes for Ji Ling. Thinking of Old Man Ji, Wang Ye seemed to have not gone back to see his grandfather for a long time. When Wang Ye was a child, his parents were in other places, and it was rare to come back, and he usually stayed at his grandfather's house. "Hey! If you can go back, go and see him," Wang Ye muttered in a low voice.

Inside an unknown underground laboratory
"Professor, there was some malfunction in the operation of the machine, and the two of them were not sent together. Do you want to interfere? "This person is the masked man from before.
"It's not something we can manage, let them go, and see what they can do," the man in black said in a deep voice, obviously dissatisfied with the failure of the experiment.
"Okay, Professor" the masked man was very respectful of the man he called the professor.

Inside the Yangdu Tavern
"In this wine shop, the food is too uncomfortable to eat, my cousin and I have never eaten these things at home, and it is hard to swallow. I said Brother Ye, can you serve something delicious, this is too saving! After Ji Ming finished speaking, he complained and looked at some coarse tea and light rice on the table.
To be honest, Wang Ye can't get used to eating these, and some of the delicacies of the mountains and seas in later generations can't be compared at all, and the first bite feels indescribably strange. But for children who have been living in the countryside since childhood, it is not unacceptable. After listening to Ji Ming's complaints, Wang Ye galloped by 10,000 horses in his heart.
"It's just this wine and food plus 300 yuan for a night's stay, isn't this a money grab! Ji Lao only gave me a total of 5,000 yuan to entangle, and he only walked for a day. Tomorrow night, we'll look outside for a broken temple or something, and we can sleep," Wang Ye scolded
"Childe is right, we are going to buy officials, there is still a long way to go to Luoyang, when the time comes, you have to do a little up and down, the accommodation is too expensive, the entanglement is indeed very compact, tomorrow look at the villages outside the city There are people who spend the night, and then give some money. It's cheaper than this wine shop," Xun Zheng said as he pushed open the window of the room and looked outside.
"What Xun Zheng said is feasible, I'm afraid it won't be so simple to Luoyang, the court is so chaotic, and then those people in the palace will have the final say. I still have to save a little," Wang Ye nodded approvingly. "Then Xun Zheng, you rest first, I'm calling you in the second half of the night"
"No" Xun Zheng took the quilt and slept on the ground behind the door, Wang Ye took the oil lamp in Xun Zheng's hand and put it on the table, because a room was too expensive, so he let the two brothers of the Ji family sleep on the bunk, Wang Ye and Xun Zheng took turns on duty. Tomorrow, the Ji brothers will be on duty, so that the four of them have time to rest, and after the three of them fell asleep, Wang Ye picked up a relatively detailed map of the Eastern Han Dynasty given by Ji Lao during the day.
"From Yangdu to the south, to Pengcheng, even if you are in a hurry, you have to go to Luoyang in a small month, and don't encounter any accidents on the way" Wang Ye muttered quietly, frowning. "In the past, there were a lot of displaced people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, most of whom were exiles in order to beg for food, but now in this situation, I am afraid that whoever gives them a bite of food will give their lives."
Wang Ye held up and thought for a long time, and the corners of his mouth raised and whispered: "Eastern Han Dynasty, watch me take your army!" ”
