Chapter Fifty-Nine: Troubled Times
This day to Jing County, after here, only more than two hundred miles away from Luoyang, I want to come in two more days to arrive, Liu Yi naturally will not delay, but when the line arrived at the intersection of the official road, but saw that there have been hundreds of businessmen and footmen who have stayed there, they do not move forward, as if waiting for something, Liu Yi and his party passed but a middle-aged man spoke up.
"This brother, why are you stopping me?" Liu Yi was in casual clothes this trip, and when he saw that this man was about forty years old and loyal, he wanted to stop him from being innocent, so he asked politely at the moment.
"Childe doesn't know, there is no danger to Luoyang here, but a month ago a group of bandits suddenly came to the Qingniu Mountain, it is said that the Yellow Turban Yu Party, they robbed the past merchants here, and there is a fear of life if they don't agree, the official army has repeatedly cleared them and always relied on the mountain to hide, and now I heard that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is rising again, and the imperial army is transferred to quell the chaos, and no one pays attention to this place for a while, but the county order will send the official army to escort those adults every day, and we are waiting here to walk with it, Childe, you have little with you, Let's stay here and wait. The man saw that although Liu Yi was in small clothes, the momentum around him was different from ordinary people, and the companions around him were also extremely strong, and his heart might be the son of a great family, so his words were even more detailed and polite.
"Oh, I see, Yellow Turban Yu, thank you for your kind words, but I have something important to do, so I can't wait, so don't pass it over." Liu Yi clenched his fists and smiled slightly, thinking that he would win all battles against the Yellow Turban, how could he look at these bandits in his eyes?
"Childe, I think Childe is also like a brave person, but those thieves are powerful, and many businesses with many families have been slaughtered, so Childe still needs to be cautious." The man persuaded again.
"Dare to ask my brother Taigao's surname, where do you want to go, and what do you do for a living?" was repeatedly blocked by this man, Liu Yi was not only not angry but grateful, this person was indeed sincere, and then looked at the crowd and did not stop his thoughts, this pure goodness is very admirable, and he hugged his fists at the moment.
"I don't dare to ask Gongzi Lao, in Xia Chen * Liang, do some leather business, this time I went to Luoyang, but unfortunately I was blocked here, it took a lot of time." The man returned the salute and sighed.
"Okay, Brother Chen has a good intention, Liu has received it, this is a little money, Brother Tai can be used on the road, after arriving in Luoyang, you can go to the party Liu family firm on Qingyun Lane in Xicheng to sell goods, with this bamboo slice they will receive your leather goods at twice the price, okay, some thieves are not enough, what is Liu afraid of is that he does not dare to come." Liu Yifei dismounted and came to Chen *liang, gave him a silver tael and a bamboo card, and after speaking, he got on the horse again without waiting for him to reply, and beckoned everyone to go.
"This..." In fact, silver was not the currency circulating in the market at that time, and ordinary people could not afford to use it, this ingot of silver weighed five taels, and all his goods were not worth this money, but he saw Liu Yi's eyes but did not dare to refuse, at this time Liu Yi had already passed by him.
"Hahaha, that's a good point, what are some thieves in front of Lang Sheng!" At this time, a hearty laugh sounded behind Liu Yi, and the words were full of anger, it turned out that there was another team of knights coming, about twenty or thirty people, the leader was dressed in black, short and strong, his face was not angry and arrogant, his chin was slightly bearded, and his eyes were bright, and he seemed to know Liu Yi.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Meng De, I couldn't talk to my brother in detail about it back then, it's a pity, I don't want to see you here today, Brother Meng De said this, but you have the grace to walk with your younger brother?" Liu Yi looked back and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, the person who came was not someone else, it was Cao and Cao Mengde! Originally, the two had only met once in the Huangfu Song Army, and it had been two years ago, but how could Liu Yi forget about this person's face, and saw that he was dressed in civilian clothes with himself, so he called him brother.
"I don't dare to ask for ears!" Cao Cao smiled slightly, and immediately stepped forward to go parallel with Liu Yi, he has always liked to make friends with the heroes and heroes of the world, and Liu Yi felt that this person was extraordinary when he saw him, and later proved that his vision was not bad, Liu Yi did not lose a hundred battles and made great contributions, he heard the voice in the back, and he was already a little suspicious, and then he could confirm what this person said.
"It's strange that Brother Meng De knows that there are thieves in the Dao and can still walk with the younger brother, those knights of yours are the elite of a hundred battles at a glance, it can be seen that my brother is well-trained, and the younger brother admires it!" The twenty or thirty knights around Cao Cao are all shrewd and capable, and their equestrian skills are extraordinary, Liu Yi knows at a glance.
"Lang Sheng praised, aren't you the same, this is a flat road to Luoyang, even if you encounter those rabble, what's the matter with our strength, say that the drill is well-trained, and the soldiers under Lang Sheng can be called tigers and wolves." Cao Cao said with a smile, he had seen the combat power of Liu Yi's men with his own eyes.
Looking at Cao Cao's smile in front of him, a thought suddenly rose in Liu Yi's heart, right now, this person is only a few feet away from him, with his martial arts, if he suddenly starts to think that this person will be difficult to escape, wouldn't it be a big enemy in the future? Although it's a little despicable, but who cares about this in the world, this person can really be called eloquent, and he will definitely be a fierce rival in the future.
"Lang Sheng is young and promising, bravely crowning the three armies, and now he has been summoned by the Son of Heaven personally, and he wants to come to the day of ascension at hand, but why does it seem to have something on his mind, can you say it." Liu Yi was thoughtful, and there was inevitably some manifestation on his face, Cao Cao was very puzzled, and when he saw him bowing his head and not saying anything, he asked.
"Well, Brother Meng De doesn't know, the younger brother is not as family as his brother, he has a lot of ups and downs when he was young, he just wants to be happy between the rivers and lakes, and he is at ease, but his grandfather is hard working, and he doesn't dare to disobey, so he serves the country in the army, and the battle array is hearty, but there must be some officialdom entanglements in Luoyang, and the younger brother doesn't like it, Brother Meng De don't blame me for being shallow and deep." Liu Yi came to his senses when he heard this, if he killed Cao Cao in this way, he would not be able to pass this hurdle alone, and besides, there would be no variables, if Cao Cao was there, the general direction of history would continue, and he would have enough advantages to accumulate strength, and he would be shorter and longer than this troubled traitor, if he was not there, wouldn't it disrupt the normal process, and then I didn't know that there would be many more branches, and it might not be beneficial to myself.
Lang Sheng's words were surprised, at this time, the male husband should have made meritorious contributions, how could he give what he has learned to the rivers and lakes, and although you and I only have one side, but Cao has a deep relationship with Lang Sheng? This is not Langsheng's true colors. Cao Cao said unhappily.
"Brother Meng De's lesson is that the younger brother lost his words, so he drove the duck to the shelves according to his brother's words, but the younger brother only has this brute force, but it can't be compared with Brother Meng De, a powerful minister in troubled times." Liu Yi quipped, just a few words, but you can feel the unique charm of this person, when he wants to pick up with you, it is really difficult to refuse, Xu Zijiang's words are not exaggerated.
"Haha, it turns out that Lang Sheng also knows about this, but the seniors joked, so you don't have to take it seriously." Cao Cao saw that Liu Yi said it funny, and mentioned Xu Zijiang's words again, and couldn't help it. He didn't know that in just a few words, he had already walked through the ghost gate.
"Jokes? I think what Xu Shao said is not bad, with Brother Meng De's talent, can't he be a capable minister in the world? Or does my brother care about the words of the traitor in the troubled times? It's just that I don't know if it will be a troubled era or a ruling world in the future, and the coming days will be long, and I will know if it is a joke or not! Liu Yi has regained his composure.
"Oh, listening to what Lang Sheng said, it seems that he has a lot of insights into the general trend of the world, why not speak freely, let Cao also listen to the lessons!" Cao Cao was still smiling when he heard this, but his eyes were full of light.
"Hehe, the younger brother has just made it clear to his brother that his ancestors want to be Jackie Chan, and they have to move around many times to get their birth. Yi is not as talented as his brother, only a martial artist, and I am afraid that only in troubled times can he show his strengths and fulfill the wishes of his ancestors. My brother is different, who was disrespectful in Luoyang City back then, and the brother is both civil and military, if you want to say the general trend of the world, it should be the younger brother who asks Brother Meng De for advice! Liu Yi said in his heart that others have no opinion on the general trend of the world, I believe it, you Cao Cao must have a deep insight, but you want to see the vision of this generation of heroes, which is why he deliberately provoked the conversation to see what Cao Cao said.
"Today, since the Yellow Turban, chaos has appeared, the eunuchs and relatives of the DPRK and China are in power, the monarchy is difficult to extend, and the local people's livelihood is unspeakably miserable. In the DPRK, as expected, there will be a fight between the ministers and relatives, General He and Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others have long been in trouble, and it is difficult to coexist! The general's power in Beijing is difficult to reach the eunuchs, and the eunuchs must borrow someone's hand, and then you will definitely live or die! In the opposition, the people from all over the world are also interested in the world, and it is difficult to comment for a while! How can Lang Sheng be a brave man, otherwise how would he see you in his eyes? Cao Cao did not hide it because he talked to Liu Yi for the first time, but said everything he thought in his heart, which was extremely generous, and his vision was also extremely accurate, even higher than Zhang Hu.
