The order was given to the three thousand Great Qin captives to pull out the camp, and as the generals left the city, the mighty crowd walked out of the craftsman camp, and these exiled strangers looked at the early morning light and embarked on a farther journey, while at the same time, two hundred miles from Shanggu County, the caravan from Juyong Pass sailed onto the post road.

The Aquila soared under the clouds, overlooking the long winding road, and a smaller convoy moved slowly between several caravans, none of the three wagons of this convoy were under the banner of any merchant or gentry, and the guards who escorted the chariots were all dressed in different clothes, but the weapons at their waists were much more sophisticated, and their attention was not on the goods, but on the carriage in the middle.

In the past, the north, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Han people were mixed, the material population was lacking, and the bandits who blocked the road and looted could be seen everywhere, although now the northland is no longer the same, since entering the Juyong Pass, it is indeed the case, but everyone dares to relax their vigilance.

There was a sudden commotion ahead, and when someone rode over to investigate, the coachman in the middle carriage waved to stop, and in the carriage behind, a woman lifted the curtain at half a corner, "Uncle Wu, why did you stop?" ”

"Miss, there were a few spring rains a few days ago, and the roads were muddy, most of which were sunken in the wheels." The coachman said a word, and soon the galloping horses that had gone to investigate also turned back, and said through the vehicle: "Madame, there is a caravan in front of you that has sunk into a pothole, so the road is blocked. ”

The coachman turned his head and leaned out half of her face behind her, and said with a smile: "Look, look, isn't it the same as what Lao Wu said?" ”

The woman nodded, glanced at the noisy front, retracted into the car, she was wearing a light cyan robe, her legs together, and sat back quietly, there was a woman's figure on the soft collapse in the middle, wearing a light blue cut leaf color dress, her hair was pulled back to her head, and she was saying to the guards outside the curtain: "Inform everyone to rest on the spot for a while." After that, he sent the other party away.

Then, she looked at the woman next to her, reached out and patted the back of the other party's hand, "It's hard for you to go with your mother this time." ”

“…… The daughter didn't understand why her mother wanted to come to Ueya-gun. The woman sitting on the side of the limp shook her head and whispered.

"Jiang'er, don't you understand?!" Zhang kept a smile on his face and looked at the daughter in front of him, "Mother is not here for this cargo, but to come to see Gongsun Dudu." ”

Over there, a hint of fear crossed the woman's bright eyes, and her hand suddenly grasped her mother's cuff, "...... This is not good, my sister has only been married to Xi Gongzi not long ago, but my mother has come here, if it is known to outsiders and reaches the ears of Yuan Jizhou, tomorrow maybe the knife will fall on our heads again....... not to mention, that person is a heinous person, and the matter of the Wei family is now rumored everywhere that he did it......"

"Are you afraid of his viciousness?" The woman hugged her child and gently rubbed her cheek, "Your sister married into the Yuan family, but you have a new husband, so I brought it to the north to relax, but it is reasonable for you to be afraid of Gongsun Zhi, but your mother is not afraid......"

"Mother is not afraid?"

Zhen Jiang raised her head and looked at her mother suspiciously, the woman showed a confident smile, the steps on her bun swayed gently, and she said softly: "....... It is rumored that he is fierce and vicious outside, but how many have actually seen him? Mother has dealt with this wolf king a lot, and he is also Mi'er's father-in-law. ”

"But what is my mother here for?"

"Of course, it's for self-preservation...... It's not easy for a mother to support the Zhen family, you have to prepare with both hands, you have to watch hard and study hard in the future, you know?! Zhang's eyes turned to the curtain of the car with light coming in, his teeth bulged slightly, and finally sighed, "Mother saw from the accounts of the transaction that Jizhou was going to fight, Gongsun stopped hoarding grain, and Cao Cao, who was good friends with him, was attacking Yuan Shu again, this is already preparing, if Yuan Jizhou wins, my Zhen family is naturally fine, if it is defeated, it will inevitably be affected by relatives, Yanzhou we can't get by, but Shanggu County can still come, no matter what, if you want the Zhen family to endure, you must have a choice on both sides." ”

Zhen Jiang opened his mouth, his expression was a little complicated, and he comforted the somewhat melancholy woman, "Mother, maybe it's not what you think, Yuan Jizhou sits on the land of four states, has many generals, and there are so many strategists around him, maybe before the war starts, he will defeat Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhi in one fell swoop......"

The woman didn't wait for her to finish, smiled and waved her hand to interrupt: "You and I are both women, we don't understand military affairs, but fighting a war is by no means as simple as you say, but daughter, you have to think that once the soldiers come to the city, it will be a real disaster to destroy the family, and then it will be too late to save it, and when the family has been in the family for so many years, the mother naturally has to think about the Zhen family." ”

The woman pondered, but the content of the conversation was unexpectedly heavy.

The words on the car were intermittent for a while, and finally the road in front was opened, Zhang took out a note and handed out the car curtain, handed it to a guard, and after a few words, the other party hurriedly rode in the direction of the city in front of him, and took the lead in galloping, and the convoy continued to move forward slowly, and it was already afternoon when it was already afternoon in Shanggu County.

Soon, when they entered the city, it was Li Ru who received them.

Also in the afternoon of this day, the sky was slanting to the west, and the yellow clouds shone among the flowerbeds of the mansion, and occasionally one or two bees could be seen buzzing through the trail. Gao Shun, who had a serious face and couldn't even see any expression, walked behind the tall back, and after walking for a while, a voice came from the figure in front of him.

“.…… What Wen You talked to you about over there doesn't matter to me personally, but as the ruler of this side, I naturally want to make the best use of everything and make the best use of people, your original trap camp, I see it in my eyes, if it weren't for the large number of people, it would be really difficult to take it, now that you have taken the initiative to come, it's not impossible to rebuild the trap camp, even if other people have opinions, I will still promote you up. ”

Gao Shun, who was walking in the rear, still had no expression, did not bow his head, and said in a flat tone: "Come by, if you don't want to ask for an official seat under the Governor, Li Ru should have told the Governor, I don't want to say it for the second time." ”

Walking to a cluster of budding flower bones and stopped, Gongsun Zhi frowned on his face, but turned around with a smile and waved his hand: "Your Gao Shun temperament, if someone else listens to these words here, maybe they have dragged you out and slaughtered you." Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the courtyard door, "...... I know it's because of Lu Bu....... in fact, I don't want him to bury his martial arts, today's Han world has become a world of great contention, and it would be a pity to bury it...... You say, don't you? ”

"Today's Fengxian is also a gift from the governor."

Gongsun Zhi showed a slight smile, and the next second suddenly converged, and it became cold, his fingers clicked in front of Gao Shun's nose in the air, turned around and continued to walk, "....... Do you think that without me, Lu Bu will be able to go further? What kind of character does he have, you are all old brothers, you all know very well, it is okay to be a prince, once you go further is the abyss, you are not stupid, you think about it in your heart, if the world is handed over to him, what will be the situation? ”

No words came from behind him, as if he fell into silent thought.

Gongsun Zhi glanced back at him, walked onto an arched covered bridge in front of him, and the purpose of talking to him had been achieved, so he didn't continue to persecute him, "I said so much today, go back and think about it, but your camp, eight hundred people are too few, I will give you three thousand, when the time comes, fight Youzhou and Jizhou, I will let you bear the brunt, can you do it-"

Over there, Gao Shun stared at Gongsun for a while, and said lightly: "No problem!" Then he said goodbye and left the house, all the way out, a public servant who passed by him came to the door to pass a message in, Jian Shuo looked at the news, and waved his hand: "Let her continue to wait, the master has been busy for a day, and she has to rest, when to see you, it depends on the master's mood, and you go back and convey these words to Li Juncheng." ”

Sent away the public in the palace, snorted in his nose, and then turned around and returned to the courtyard where Gongsun Zhi was, he saw the plain silk handed by the eunuch, threw it aside, picked it up and returned to the room.

"Eat first, let's see after eating, since she came first, then I won't be in a hurry."
