66, Zhicai returns
Facts have proved that it is up to people to plan things and to achieve things. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the dung, Xi Zhicai used a set of clothes prepared for him by Mrs. Wu in advance, changed his appearance, and after changing his outfit, he slipped out of the secret door, blended into the flow of people in the market, and went out of the township to ensure that no one followed him behind him, and then set off to the small bamboo forest in the east of the city as agreed with his wife.
As a result, after the sweaty Xi Zhi arrived at the small bamboo forest, he found that the drama wife was not waiting for him at the agreed place, he carefully observed the surrounding ground, and found that there was no other person who had come here recently.
Obviously, the drama wife either had an accident at a friend's house or had an accident on the road.
Xi Zhicai couldn't help patting his forehead in annoyance, he was in a hurry to get out of this Yangcheng land after all, and he didn't leave more time for that Yan Junxu and the snake, so he let his wife take such a risk, and now the army is in chaos, but don't have an accident on the road.
Of course, it is also possible that there was an accident at a friend's house outside the city, and the drama wife was not going to the employer's house to return the clothes, but to a friend's house outside the city to avoid the eyeliner that Yan Xing laid near the Xi Zhicai's house.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai turned around and came to Lilu, where his friends were outside the city.
In the neighborhood of a friend, Xi Zhicai was worried that the eyeliner sent by Yan Xing would be waiting here, so after repeatedly confirming the surrounding situation, he used the adjacent leaves to tear out the shape of the word "play", and then used two yuan, half coaxed and half hired, to let a naughty boy playing in a wheat field inside and outside help him deliver this leaf to his friend's home.
This friend once received the favor of Xi Zhicai, although because his family lives outside the city, he does not often meet with Xi Zhicai, but Xi Zhicai sees people very accurately, and knows that this friend is trustworthy and promised, and he will definitely not betray himself.
He looked at the leaf torn into the word "play", and knew that he had arrived, and this leaf, his friend lived here, and he must have known which place in the forest had the most such leaves, and he had a gap, and after he was sure that it was safe, he would come out to look for him, and he would wait for him here first.
Originally, Xi Zhi thought that his friend would at least wait until after sunset before he would come to see him again, but he didn't expect that not long after, the sun was setting in the west, and the friend who was in a hurry came to the forest to look for him.
As soon as the friend saw Xi Zhicai, his hurried face suddenly turned confused, and when Xi Zhicai saw his expression, he knew that his wife had changed in the link of his friend.
didn't wait for Xi Zhi to ask, the friend had already explained the ins and outs of the matter to Xi Zhicai.
It turned out that after the drama wife and Yan Xing, Xi Zhicai and others separated, they went to the house of a friend outside the city, after meeting, the drama wife knew that Xi Zhicai had been kind to his friend, and did not hide it, and directly said that the couple wanted to avoid trouble, this friend, after listening, also knew that the situation was urgent and serious, so he hurriedly asked the drama wife to dress up, and then led the donkey at home, carried the drama wife, led the way by herself, temporarily dressed as a peasant couple, and went to the agreed small bamboo forest in the east of the city, and at the same time let his wife also take the child, Pack up your belongings and get ready to leave the house first, and also go out for a few days.
But halfway through, they were caught up by a group of cavalry coming from behind, fortunately, although the cavalry who came was a little annoyed, they seemed to have scruples, and did not draw their swords, but said that there was a joke that they wanted to take the drama wife to the city, so they forcibly took the drama wife away, and let go of this drama Zhicai's friend.
Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai's friend's face was even more ashamed, it turned out that he was depressed and went to the meeting place agreed with his wife and children, but he couldn't see anyone. After returning home worried, he found that his wife and children had not left at all, and only then did he realize that his wife had told the chasing cavalry about it.
Originally, the friend's wife disagreed with this kind of behavior of disregarding the family for the sake of commitment, but because of the presence of the drama wife, she did not quarrel with her friend on the spot, so she let the friend escort the drama wife away. But she herself misses everything in this house, and she didn't make up her mind to leave after packing up for a long time, and she is ready to wait for her friends to come back and make another plan, and then look at the limelight first.
As a result, the time dragged on, lurking near the house of Xi Zhicai, this time Yan Xing, who also followed the wife of the play, took people to wait outside the friend's house for a long time, and before the wife returned the clothes and came out, he knew that something had changed, so he led someone to break into the house, and after questioning the friend's house where the wife went, he took people to rush into the friend's house.
When my friend's wife saw these fierce gods and evil spirits suddenly rushing into her home, she was immediately frightened and couldn't help but regret that she didn't leave with her children and belongings earlier, so she secretly scolded her husband in her heart for not being able to do anything and taking such a big disaster, and on the other hand, she couldn't say why.
Yan Xing saw his friend's wife behaving like this, he had a plan in his heart, he let people catch his friend's child, and threatened to arrest someone and seal the house if he didn't tell the truth again, on the other hand, he took out another pile of money, Xu Yan himself looked for Xi Zhicai and his wife, just to let them and his wife go to the city to reunite, and there was no other malicious intent, if the friend's wife told the whereabouts of the drama wife, it was a meritorious person, and this money would be rewarded to her, and the previous things would not be investigated.
Under the coercion, her friend's wife was already frightened, and it was profitable, so as soon as she gritted her teeth, she simply told her friend about escorting the wife who changed her costume to the east of the city with a donkey.
After Yan Xing learned of the situation, he laughed, put away the money, and grabbed the chest of his friend's wife, so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and after constantly begging for mercy, he led people to laugh, hurriedly went out to leave, and rode a horse to chase after his wife.
That's why I caught up with my drama wife.
After listening to the fact that it was his friend's wife who broke his plan to get out, he couldn't help but sigh secretly that this time he was really a woman who became a woman and a woman who was defeated.
Heaven not only allowed himself to meet a woman like Mrs. Wu who was ill-fated but still worked hard to make a living, and she had the courage to let go and help herself escape, and earned another fortune for herself. But at the same time, he let his friend catch up with such a timid, greedy and short-sighted wife, which indirectly made his plan fall short.
Xi Zhi knew that with the demeanor that Yan Xing had seen in the past two days, even if he really abandoned his wife, Yan Xing would probably not spill his sullenness on a woman, but would treat his wife well, leaving a little friendship between him and Xi Zhicai in the future.
But how can Xi Zhicai be Wu Qi's utilitarian first, he has been depressed all these years, and even his wife has suffered a lot, and now how can he be willing to let his wife stay alone in the barracks, afraid all day long.
Although I don't know how my luck is, whether he can find a corner in this troubled world, and expand his power and position, but since God has gone through several twists and turns, and finally gave himself such an arrangement, then he simply entered his Yan camp, and without saying a word, first see if he is the master of the Ming Dynasty and whether he can succeed, and then decide to stay.
"Zhicai, after the cavalry took away your wife, the knight led by the team left a message and spared my life, not only so as not to hurt your friendship, but also to ask me to bring you a message if I meet you, and return to my home in the city as soon as possible, so that the husband and wife can be reunited!"
After saying that, the friend was ashamed and worried, so he could only bow his head and dare not say anything more. At this time, Xi Zhicai knew that his wife was safe and sound, and he had already made a decision to stay in his heart, so he was not as anxious as he had not seen his wife before.
He reached out and patted his friend's shoulder to comfort him, although his friend recommitted to friendship, but after all, he was also an ordinary citizen, and this incident found him by himself, which also made his family inexplicably frightened and worried.
Xi Zhicai looked at the young leaves and sprouts newly pulled out of the branches above his head, and said earnestly:
"I'm too anxious about this matter, after all, there is something wrong with it, you don't have to feel guilty about it, since my wife is fine, it's good, I'm going to rush back to the city." Well, now that the war is about to rise, Yangcheng is a place of war and disaster after all, if possible, orβ"
Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai's words paused, he thought of his friend's wife at a critical juncture, and still cared about his family, hesitating, letting his friend move to escape the upcoming war, just afraid that when he returned home, there would be another quarrel, and if he said anything to persuade his friend to divorce his unvirtuous wife, but his wife had already given birth to children for him, how could he meddle in other people's family affairs again and let his wife break up.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sigh again, the drunkard was crazy, before he met the master of the Ming Dynasty, although he knew the world, what he could master was only the thing in the cup in his hand after all.
After the two said goodbye to each other, Xi Zhicai came out of the woods and strode to his home in the city.
γ»γ»γ»
As soon as Xi Zhicai got home, he saw your wife sitting at home, and the two of them met and smiled, the smile was a little bitter, but also a little confining.
Not long after the husband and wife talked, this time Yan Xing directly sent someone to invite Xi Zhicai and his wife to his camp, determined to let them stay in his camp, and although it was already night, Yan Xing personally met Xi Zhicai.
When they met again, Yan Xing did not speak ill of Xi Zhicai who fled and came back, but said with a wry smile with a bit of banter:
"Xi Jun has promised to live in my camp for a while in the mountains before, but he has withdrawn from the city, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zun is still at home, I'm afraid that Xi Jun will already be like an arrow shot in this battle array, once he leaves the string, he will never return, Yan treats each other sincerely, but Xi Jun acts like this, which can be described as a big loss!"
Xi Zhicai will not be soft when he receives the money that Liu Qiao deliberately loses, and his face is not pale, because he knew that Liu Qiao was impressed by his talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was to learn from his own mouth the extraordinary insight of only a few words. When he asked Yan Xing to help him pay off his wine debts, he was not embarrassed, because Yan Xing wanted to forcibly keep him, and before leaving, he also gave Yan Xing three stories.
With a complaining tone towards Yan Xing at the moment, Xi Zhicai smiled faintly, also without shame, and said fluently:
"Yan Jun is hospitable, treat me politely, and forcibly keep guests, although the cloud guest is with the host, but the host should also obey the guest's feelings, so that the guest has a home at home, Yan Jun previously sent someone to lurk near my home, and later sent someone to follow my wife out of the city, so act, although respectful, but sincere. Haha, since I am a drunkard in Yangcheng, it is natural that after drinking, I get drunk and talk nonsense and lose my way! β
Xi Zhicai was clever at arguing, and Yan Xing couldn't find fault for a while, so he turned to a smile and asked:
"Then now that the drama king has re-entered my camp, what are you going to do?"
Yan Xing wanted to know if Xi Zhicai had changed his mind and was willing to give advice to himself after he returned.
Xi Zhicai's face was also condensed when he heard this, and he gave a solemn salute, and then said:
"Yan Jun has lofty ambitions, and has a mind like Qi Huan Gong who does not remember old grievances, although he is shallow in his learning, and he is useless, but he is also willing to follow the sage Guo Kui of Yan State, although he has no great talent to plan for Jun's career, but he can also be attached to Jiwei, as a golden horse bone, to help Yan Jun attract real talents. It's just that if you stay in the camp, you don't need to treat him with a gift of gold, you just need to eat every day, and you can have half a bucket of thin wine on the table, and you will be content with a smile! β
"Haha, okay, since the opera king wants to follow the example of the countryman, if he is not a sycamore, he will not live, and if he is not a master, then he will live in my camp for a while, and wait for this sycamore to draw branches, so that Yan Shi can please benefit from time to time, and drink and talk together!"
Although Xi Zhicai has not returned to his heart for the time being, Yan Xing can leave him as a drunkard, and the goal can be regarded as achieved, whether it is Duke Qi Huan, King Yan Zhao, Guan Zhong, Guo Kui, these can be talked about later. Thinking of this, Yan Xing smiled again and began to say:
"Xijun, your previous story of 'Tian Rao goes to Lu' can be described as thought-provoking, after Yan returned to the camp, he did three things in one go, do you want to hear it!"
Xi Zhicai didn't answer, but Yan Xing didn't mind, and began to say:
"The first thing to do is to check the book again to ensure that the soldiers who have contributed to the capture of the city have all received their due rewards, and that the soldiers who have been killed and injured can be cared for and compensated. The second thing is to let the military officials in the battalion treat the families of those medical craftsmen and craftsmen who have been recruited kindly, so as to reassure them, and let the military officials try them to do things, and assign them according to their actual talents, so as to prevent those useless people or cunning people who have vain names but no real talents from mixing in among them. The third thing is to let those conscripted scholars take turns to be my secretary in batches, and I will personally inspect these people to see if they can be used by me, and if they can be used! β
At the end of his speech, Yan Xing added:
"Xijun, how do you see me behaving like this?"
After listening to Xi Zhicai, he still didn't say a word, and Yan Xing didn't urge him, the two were silent for a while, and finally Xi Zhicai had no choice but to say a word.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. If one corner can be reversed in three corners, Yan Jun can be a teacher. β
Yan Xing listened to Xi Zhicai's words, laughed, he also knew what Xi Zhicai meant, so he asked people to send the gift of Xi Zhicai, who had been running for a day, back to the tent specially arranged for him to rest.
After Xi Zhicai left, Yan Xing also put away his smile, the matter of Yangcheng was over, and Xi Zhicai also stayed in the camp for the time being, so next, he had to focus on the things in Luoyang City.
