The horses were long gone, and the carts were scattered, so the two had to clean up, pick up the books scattered on the ground, and then rush towards the plain county, which was heavy and numerous, and stopped and stopped, until noon, and then entered the plain county.

Liu Lan wanted to do his best to be a landlord, but Cui Yan was homesick and refused again and again, and he was not forced to stay in the house, so he hired a carriage for him to carry the books and then forced him to go to a tavern, and it was not too late to leave after a full meal. There are countless people in the storefront, although it is past the morning meal time, but there are also many diners who come to the tavern, Liu Lan and Cui Yan entered a tavern and casually found a banquet facing the street, asked for some food, and then ate and talked.

It's just that the latter was born in a famous family since he was a child, and later studied scriptures with his master Zheng Xuan, talking about 'eating without speaking, sleeping without speaking'. The two of them each ate a little, but they were also full of tea and food, thinking about how much food a literati could have, and Liu Lan was all about Cui Yan, so he naturally just ate some hastily and talked to him, in a few words, when he learned that Liu Lan, who was Xiangping Ling, appeared here to help Gongsun Zan deal with Yuan Shao, Cui Yan put the chopsticks aside and frowned slightly.

Liu Lan asked, "I wonder what Mr. thinks about this battle?" But after asking several times in a row, Cui Yan was always silent, and his appearance aroused many concerns hidden in his heart, eager to know his opinion on this matter, and said in a tone of asking for advice: "I hope Mr. will give advice!" ”

Under repeated questioning, Cui Yan was not in a hurry, and said: "Don't you think that the two of them are blinding!" ”

"Why did you say that, sir?" Liu Lan's expression changed, and then he returned to his true colors. asked without a trace.

"In my opinion, the great plan of the country. Dong thief led the emperor to the west, and he originally held heavy troops with Bo Jue and did not know how to eliminate the national harm. On the contrary, for their own selfish interests, they attack each other; Cannibalism, if you gather strength, how can it increase dozens of times, how many days can a mere thief live? If the two of them work together to the Han, the national revenge can be avenged, and the Han family can prosper! What a thing, what a thing! Cui Yan said a few words in a row and sighed. Said: "Deran, you said that these two people are not blind, what are they?" ”

Liu Lan stared at Cui Yan for a long time, and after making sure that he was not open-mouthed for a while, but the true thoughts in his heart, he said seriously: "I think these two people are not blind, but ......."

Cui Yan knew that Liu Lan had understood what he meant, and waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't say, don't say!" Deran eats, eats. He looked around warily.

This kid is too similar. Only then did Liu Lan know that this kid was pretending to be confused, not such a corrupt Confucian, and thought in his heart that what he said was roundabout. But it is really to the point, at this time, who in the world can raise his arms and call again to gather all the princes to discuss Dong? So he wants to say that it's not a rat's eye, but a traitor! But at this time, there was no Qiao Mao of the day, and there was no Cao Cao at that time, so Cui Yan said this with the old problem of Confucian students.

Although the two of them have a tacit understanding. And Cui Yan is more like saying something righteous, but Liu Lan really admires his eyes in his heart, if it is really as he said, someone can raise his arms and reunite the princes. The chances of Dong Zhuo's death are definitely greater, but now he is not concerned about these vain things. It's about the war in Jizhou, and the old things are recalled. "I don't know if I should go or not?" ”

Cui Yan stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "Presumably Deran already has an idea, so why ask me?" It's just that I'm staying in Deran in the plains, so why don't I really go? When the two of them talked about these words, they had gathered together and talked quietly, and the noise around them was so that no one heard them, only Cui Yan continued: "If I were Deran, I would not go to Jizhou in this battle!" ”

His cold remark made Liu Lan begin to mumble in his heart, could it be that this battle is in crisis? He said, "Why is that?" ”

"Can't Xuande see it?" Cui Yan didn't say it, as the so-called hero sees the same, if he can't even see this, then this person has nothing to hand over.

Liu Lan thought for a moment in his heart and said: "I think the two of them are at most five or five, and they can't tell the winner from the loser, but Ji Qi thinks so?" ”

"If Gongsun Zan wins and returns, if it is only five or five according to Xuande's words, then why do you have to go to Jizhou?"

Liu Lan also knew that he was telling the truth, since the two couldn't tell the winner, why did he bother to offend Yuan Benchu, who was in charge of Jizhou? It's just that the situation has already changed at this time, and I can't go either, after all, there is no more Zhao Zilong who can save Gongsun Zhan's life.

The two talked very happily until they finished lunch, seeing that they were about to separate, Liu Lan found a carriage for him in the market before sending it out for several miles, and the two did not mention the words of solicitation before parting with each other, not to mention that at this moment, he just said something so that he could not forget his friend, and if he had leisure in the future, he could come to Liaodong to find him.

Later, Liu Lan, who returned to the county mansion, fell asleep and didn't get up until noon on the second day, washed up, and headed for the living room. After resting for a night, he was no longer as depressed as yesterday, and came to the hall with a smile, only to see Jian Yong chatting with the generals, waiting for him to come.

Zhang Fei and Xu Chu were red-faced and didn't know what they were arguing about, and their voices were very loud, as if they were too small to lose to each other. Suddenly, the two who saw Liu Lan coming in immediately stopped, while Guan Yu and Jian Yong watched the two arguing, smiling silently, while Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao chatted on the side, as if nothing had happened just now.

Zhou Pei and the others knew that it was best to leave the two quarrels alone, and in front of these two, they couldn't offset the casserole-like fists. The red-faced appearance of the two was seen by Liu Lan, and they looked like peacemakers and said with a smile: "What are Yide and Zhongkang fighting for?" Tell me about it? I'll give you a rating! ”

"It's not that the eldest brother went to Zhending to find Zilong, and the plain has to leave people to garrison, so the people who go to Zhending with the lord can only choose from the two."

Guan Yu explained Liu Lan's confusion and said: "Yi Deyan has never left since he joined the lord, so naturally he went." However, Zhong Kang said that the eldest brother said that he would be the leader of the guards in the future (Zhang Fei, who was about to master the dragoon army, Guan Yu would master the infantry from the Yellow Turbans, and Yan Zhi and Yongsheng would lead the Liaodong cavalry) would be the leader of the guards, so of course he would go to Jizhou. Yide also said that his martial arts were stronger than Zhong Kang. Of course, what guards do not guard must be able first. Zhong Kang was not convinced, saying that he just watched the two of them last time and couldn't tell the winner. The hero cherishes each other, so he no longer fights with him. I never lost to Zhang Fei, and when I saw that the two were about to compete in martial arts, I stopped them, and then it was the scene that the lord saw. ”

Knowing the antecedents, Liu Lan looked like he was not afraid of the situation and wanted to see the lively performance, and said, "I see? Then you two will compete, and the winner will go with me! ”

Xu Wu fought before the two, but because he was unconscious, he couldn't see the battle between the two. Seeing that this was an opportunity to feast his eyes, he immediately asked the two to compete in martial arts.

But the two didn't know what he really thought in his heart, and thought they were talking back, so they were ashamed of their faces, and immediately humbly pushed each other to come, Xu Chu said here: "Since Yide is going, I won't fight, I have tried with Yide, and the three generals who believe in it will definitely be able to protect the lord's security." No need to compare, no need to compare. He was convinced in his heart that the lord said this because the two were arguing and it was not good to blame them face-to-face, but he said something counter-to beat them, and hurriedly pushed them aside.

Zhang Fei saw this, which was also a blessing to his soul. Han smiled and said: "No need to compare, no need to compare, I don't know Zhongkang's martial arts?" Naturally amazing. How could the village chief of Xuwu not be able to protect the main public security. With Zhongkang going, I can rest assured. Zhang Fei's thoughts were obviously the same as Xu Chu's. hurriedly complimented each other.

The two of them were like good babies at this time, and they couldn't help but be called Jian Yong. smiled: "You two said you were strong, you said he was fierce?" So who is better than the two of you? Could it be that the two of you are evenly matched? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the two of them speak at the same time, and the tacit understanding seemed to be that of conjoined brothers: "Yes, yes, equal shares, equal shares." ”

Even Guan Yu, who had always been solemn, was amused by the two of them, and said with a smile: "Xianhe, you are a layman." Martial arts are about each having its own merits, and the strength of Yide lies in a fierce word; After completing his work and a battle, he recruited bravely but exquisitely. But Zhong Kang is a force to ten meetings, which seems strange and ruthless, but it is wide open and closed, strong and heavy. ”

The three of them got along with each other day by day, and Guan Yu naturally knew the martial arts moves of the two very well, and said: "If the two of them fight on foot, the third brother's spear technique will have the advantage and break through the thousands of jun with skill." If it's a two-person battle, I can't tell if it's going to win or lose. ”

Zhang Fei thought to himself that although Yun Chang's analysis was the Tao, it would never be him Xu Chu who really wanted to ride the victor, but at this time, he didn't dare to say this, but only expressed his agreement with Guan Yu, and said: "What Yun Chang said is that Zhong Kang's sword skills are fluctuating, if it wasn't a foot battle last time, if it was a cavalry battle, it would be unknown." ”

How could Xu Chu not know that Zhang Fei was in vain and wrongdoing, but even he could praise his exquisite knife skills on the surface, if he said something foolish, wouldn't he fall behind, squeeze out a trace of an ugly smile, and said with a clear conscience: "Yide's moves are exquisite, even on the horse, at most it is a tie, if you want to win, it is also very difficult!" ”

Don't they all say that there is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts? Why are they so humble? Liu Lan on the side looked left and right, and said to the two of them: "Both of them are masters, why don't you have a discussion, let me wait and see?" ”

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Liu Lan means, although both of them are hot-tempered, but at this time, I can't touch his mind, how dare I agree.

Looking at the two who were clamoring to have a competition before, but at this time they were like brothers, Liu Lan couldn't make the two fight, sighed in his heart, and had to give up. After a short time, there were already guards who sent the delicious food and drink that had been prepared, discussed before the banquet, and left Guan Yu, Yongsheng, Jian Yong, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao in the plain, and then Liu Lan took Zhang Fei and Xu Chu to Zhending.

A group of people packed up properly, out of the residence will pass through the market, the market road is lined with shops, people come and go, the trade is prosperous, especially in the tavern, there are all kinds of people from the three religions and nine streams, so it is not prosperous, the street is full of fruit and vegetable sellers, fortune tellers, carts, delivery people...... Hawking along the street, it's not lively.

At this time, it has been a long time since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Pingyuan County is no longer prosperous after many years of recuperation, but some thriving appearance, Liu Lan traveled far away, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang and others came to see them off, a few people are walking, I don't want a fortune teller on the street to block the way, only to see this person fairy wind bones, crane hair and childish face, holding the dust, stepping on straw sandals, walking in front of everyone, and not paying attention to others, but only Liu Lan, who was riding on the back of a pony, stopped him, and said: "Mr. can you count a lesson?" Look at the bad luck! ”

Liu Lan was disgusted with these fortune-telling warlocks in the rivers and lakes, and asked what even Beiji and others couldn't measure, and what they could measure. Even if it was detected, it was gibberish, and he asked, "Unexpected"

Lao Dao smiled: "Zhong Ni said that "Yi" has the four ways of a gentleman. It is said that "the diviner is still occupied". Those who occupy it will be the first king, so they will be good and bad. Decide the suspicion, praise the gods, and then know the things that come. Ruofu's yin and yang step-by-step study is often seen in the grave records. However, the nerves and the golden rope of Yuce are closed in the mansion of the Ming Soul and sealed on the altar of Yao, and they can be peeped at.

It is the text of "River" and "Luo", the picture of the turtle and dragon, the art of the basket, and the book of the teacher. The part of the weft and the talisman of the decision, all of which are so probing and inspecting the human area, there are those who can hear it from time to time. Its flow has the wind horn, Dunjia, seven politics, vitality, six days and seven minutes, Feng Zhan, the day, quite specialized, for a while, the art of solitude, is to look at the clouds and save gas, push the auspicious demon, and sometimes there is also to work in things. ”

Liu Lan, who was about to leave, stopped his horse, turned around, and said, "It's enough to bluff people." But if you ask about the birthday, then you don't have to! ”

The old Taoist saw that Liu Lan's heart was moved, and immediately laughed and said: "It's okay if you don't count your birthday, sir, but write a word." Looking at Liu Lan's side, most of the people showed disdain, but only the man in Tsing Yi and Confucian clothes had some expectations. The fortuneteller then smiled unnoticed.

Liu Lan was not counted as a birthday, and Jian Yong found that Liu Lan also had no intention of measuring words, so he persuaded loudly: "Lord." Just let him push the blame, so that you can see if he is accurate. If you are not able to spy on the bad luck of this trip? ”

Since the old way wants to blame, I also heard that Jian Yong also had the intention of letting this person count for a moment. Liu Lan looked at his appearance like an immortal again, so he believed it a little, nodded and said: "If it is to blame, then push it!" It's just that he was riding on a horse, and he didn't want to bother getting on and off the horse, so he said the words casually: "The word I pushed is the word 'west' in the south, east, and west!" ”

"This word is good, the so-called gold, wood, water and fire, southeast, northwest and northwest. It is the gold, wood, water, fire, southeast, northwest, north, south, north, west, north, north, west, water, water, The five elements to the south are Yan, the south belongs to the fire, the fire is the sun, and the west plus day is the sun, although the south has the air of righteousness, but only the sun can be seen, but it can not be touched, but it is better not to go. And the five elements to the east is green, the east belongs to the wood, the wood is the west is the habitat, look at this glyph, to the east for the shelter, but you insist on the west, and the five elements to the west is Ji, the west is gold, and now Jizhou disputes, so look at this trip as a matter of soldiers, and then take Jizhou as a point, the west plus a unitary, and the plain is in the unitary, Jizhou is gold, unitary metal yin, the main internal and external enemies are strong, or possible, then avoid but not fight, if Mr. has a lucky star, but can also keep safe and worry-free. ”

"I don't know if this lucky star is the master? What is the solution? Liu Lan was stunned by this old way, and he didn't dare to be contemptuous anymore, so he asked in an humble tone.

"The sage set up this way to repudiate the blame, but how can he really solve the problem?"

The mysterious old Taoist stroked his beard and said: "Be 'careful' in case of trouble, don't be careless, don't be careless." As he spoke, he laughed out loud and said: "These things are just nonsense on the whim of the old man, and the vast book of heaven is still difficult to argue with non-sages, how can it be that the old man is vulgar?" This refusal must not be taken too seriously about this reckoning. As he spoke, he took out the sticker and said, "Why don't you draw one?" ”

The old man said a word to break the Jizhou soldiers, Liu Lan's heart was full of surprise, but he couldn't help but suspect that he knew in advance, but at this time, when he said that he would draw a lot, he didn't dare to underestimate it, so he took one from the lottery holder casually, looked at it fixedly, and saw that it was written: "The stagecoach moves, smooth sailing, the fire is pressing, and the west is benefited." ”

This old man really has some doorways, and he is about to reward money, but he sees that the old road has already gone far away, and his heart is uncertain......

But at this time, the old man's voice came not long after he walked out: "Everything is up to the sky, don't force it, you must know that the water is deep and the fog is charming, and you should be cautious in case of trouble." ”

said loudly and laughed: "Look at the flowers in the fog, and look at the moon in the water." Don't force it, don't force it, haha......" (To be continued......

PS: PS: The old way will appear later, you can guess who he is, historical figures, and there will be a prize for guessing correctly!! As for Yu Ji Zuoci, could it be that there are no more old immortals recorded in the Three Kingdoms except for the two?!! By the way, it seems that this person did not appear in the romance.
