Chapter 24: Heading to Julu County
Du Ji took the clothes in his hand, and suddenly made a difficulty, it was raining heavily outside, how could he change his clothes if there was no hidden place?
Wang Lei said: "If you are in a hurry, Brother Bohou will take a moment." ”
Du Yi is a humble gentleman and an elegant scholar. In front of Wang Lei, he felt panicked on his face, and the set of clothes in his hand felt hot and very difficult. Wang Lei understood that the scholar was thin-skinned, his eyes rolled, and he thought of a way, "Since Brother Bohou is embarrassed, he simply turned around and faced the carriage door curtain, so that he just turned his back to us." ”
Du Ji's face was overjoyed, and he thought that this idea was good.
Although there is a suspicion of covering his ears and stealing the bell, he is covered in front of him. He turned his back, staggered and took off his soaked clothes, and changed into the old man's clothes.
The old man and Du Yi are about the same size, just right.
Du Yi breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Gongzi reached out to help, Du Yi still doesn't know Gongzi's name, dare to ask your surname?" ”
"Under Wang Lei!"
Wang Lei changed his words and asked, "Brother Bohou is traveling in the rain, where are you going?" ”
Du Yi said: "The Central Plains is full of war, and I went to Liaodong for refuge. ”
Wang Lei 'oh', did not comment, paused and said: "From Jizhou to Liaodong, the road is long, especially now in the south of Julu County, all the way to the north, next to Zhongshan, and then into Youzhou Fanyang County, then Zhuo County, Ji County, and then east to reach Liaodong Right Beiping, this is not a journey, quite a long time!" ”
Du Ji was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Wang Lei to be so familiar with the route to Liaodong, he smiled slightly, and said with emotion: "Brother Xian is reasonable, it is indeed a long way to go to Liaodong. ”
Wang Lei changed the topic again and said with a smile: "I went north to Zhongshan Kingdom, and I can go another distance with Brother Bohou." Anyway, I have two carriages, which can accommodate Brother Bohou and the old lady, so let's go north together. ”
Du Ji hurriedly excused himself and said, "How embarrassing is this! ”
Wang Lei said: "Seeing each other is fate, Brother Bohou don't shirk anymore, this matter is decided." ”
Du Yi said gratefully: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you brother Xian." ”
"Brother Bohou is polite!"
Wang Lei chuckled in his heart, he could leave Du Ji, this was his chance. The old man sat next to Wang Lei, opened his eyes and seemed to be smiling, and the look in his eyes seemed to have seen through Wang Lei's thoughts. Wang Lei turned a blind eye, the old man can't figure him out now, but why can't he understand the old man? This old man is quite mysterious.
Du Ji asked, "Brother Xian went north to Zhongshan Kingdom, is there anything going on?" ”
Wang Lei replied casually: "Jizhou Mu Hanfu appointed me as the county commander of Wuji County, and this time I went north to Zhongshan Country to go to Wuji County to take up my post. ”
"Ahh
Du Yi exclaimed, his face full of astonishment.
The person in front of him turned out to be a county magistrate.
When he saw Wang Lei's burly and sturdy body, he subconsciously classified Wang Lei as a hero, and did not regard Wang Lei as a person with status. Du Ji noticed his gaffe and immediately said: "The age of the virtuous brother should be less than twenty years old, but he is the head of a county, which is really admirable. Du Ji thought that he was already proud to be the county magistrate of Zheng County at the age of twenty, but compared with his virtuous brother, he was really ashamed. ”
's words made Wang Lei's heart feel comfortable.
Wang Lei said humbly: "Brother Bohou has won the award, this is the weight of the state pastor, otherwise it will be difficult for Wang Lei to serve as the head of a county." ”
Old Man Du muttered in his heart, this kid is cunning!
Where is Han Fu's weight, it is clear that he is borrowing a knife to kill people, but in Wang Lei's mouth, it has become a weight.
This kid, cunning cunning drip!
The old man's eyes clearly showed appreciation. Being a man does not necessarily mean telling the truth of the facts, and understanding it from another angle is undoubtedly better for yourself.
Summer thunderstorms come and go as fast as they come, and the heavy rain stops after an hour.
The sun is outcropping, and the golden sunlight is shining down, shining everywhere.
The two carriages continued to drive straight to the county seat of Nanhe County. Wang Lei and his entourage entered the territory of Nanhe County, but they have not replenished food, and the dried meat, flour cakes, etc. stored in the carriage have been almost consumed, and they need to replenish food. In the evening, Wang Lei and his party of eight people arrived in Nanhe County, Xiao Hao went to the city to purchase food, and Fu Bo found a dilapidated Taoist temple outside the city to spend the night.
As the night draws to a close, Xiao Hao returns with a full load of food.
"Crackle!!"
The bonfire burns, and the fire is bright in the Taoist temple.
Wang Lei, Du Ji and the old man sat by the fire, and Du Ji's mother, Guo Yu, Queen Guo, Xiao Hao and Fu Bo sat not far away. After dinner, the old man looked at Wang Lei and said in a serious tone: "Hutou, we arrived in Nanhe County, and Julu County is in the east of Nanhe County, not far from here, I have an old friend in Julu County, I have to go and see him." ”
Wang Lei said without hesitation: "The old man is going, we will turn around and go to Julu County tomorrow, and then go north." The journey to Julu County is not far, and the journey will be delayed for a day or two at most. ”
After a pause, Wang Lei looked at Du Ji with an apologetic expression, "Brother Bohou, the old man is going to Julu County, I have to let Brother Bohou waste an extra day or two, please bear with me." ”
Du Ji shook his head and said, "It's okay, my mother and I are not in a hurry." ”
He followed Wang Lei to the north and ate Wang Lei's, as the saying goes, eating people with a short mouth, so it is naturally difficult to refuse.
The old man stared at the burning bonfire, and said quietly: "Back then, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao gathered a crowd in Julu to cause the war in Julu County, I haven't been there for many years, I don't know what it was like in the past?" ”
Wang Lei's eyes narrowed, and he instantly regained his calm.
Du Ji threw a branch into the fire and said with emotion: "Zhang Jiao gathered people to make trouble, disputes continued in various places, and the world was not peaceful. It was precisely because of the constant war that I took my mother to Liaodong to escape the war. ”
Wang Lei shook his head lightly, and did not agree with Du Ji's statement, "Brother Bohou, wars are everywhere, and there is no pure land in the world. You think Liaodong is good, but you don't know that Liaodong is not a pure land, and it is often harassed by the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and it is not a quiet place. ”
"Even so, it's better than staying in the Central Plains. ”
Wang Lei's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Blindly avoiding is not a way, what if Brother Bohou takes the old lady to Liaodong and meets the Huns?" What should I do then, to resist? Or leave Liaodong and go into exile in the rest of the country. At any time, dodging is not the best way, it is the way that only cowards choose. ”
In a word, it is like thunder on the ground.
Du Yi then changed color, and his eyes looking at Wang Lei became unfriendly. Du Ji was very grateful for Wang Lei's help, but it did not mean that Du Ji acquiesced to Wang Lei's opinion, he said lightly: "Wang County's statement is not in agreement. ”
The corners of Wang Lei's mouth rose, with disdain, "Brother Bohou, please!" ”
In a word, a polemic has been launched against Du Ji.
If the two can't reach a common opinion, they naturally have to talk about it. Du Ji is not an ordinary person, he stood up, lifted his robe and sat down on his knees, raised his head and chest, and looked serious, already ready for battle.
Wang Lei was the same, and the two sat opposite each other.
