At the end of August, it was the end of summer, the temperature was still very high, but from time to time there was a wind blowing, and the carriage did not look stuffy, and the team from east to west was only about 300 people.

"When you get to Yanmen County, the road is relatively gentle, and if Gu Hou is uncomfortable on the way, he immediately calls Hua Tuo to take care of it."

In such years, if you don't know how to ride a horse, or if you don't have a horse at home, it is very troublesome to go out in a car, especially if there is a serious patient in the team, and you can only endure to slow down the speed at the moment, there is really no other way to think of it.

Shanggu County goes west to Yanmen County for about 500 miles.

A group of 300 vehicles, horse teams are dressed lightly, occasionally heavy rain washes away the heat, stop and go, wait until the boundary of Yanmen County, it is nearly October into autumn, the warm wind of autumn slightly rolls up the curtain, blows in, mottled on the pale and thin face, the scholar's body is getting weaker and weaker.

Sometimes it's good to eat less, usually at this time, he will drive away Gongsun Zhi and not let him in, in fact, he doesn't want the other party to see that he will choke even when he eats porridge, as Hua Tuo said before, the internal organs have failed.

When they arrived at the city of Yinguan, the welcoming team also went out of the city gate, and from a distance, in addition to Xu Rong and Guo Yan beside him, there was a familiar figure, with a bare head, a big beard, and a crooked nose and slanted eyes.

"Chief...... I haven't seen you in over a year. The pace of running was slow, stopped, staggered a few steps, saw the figure coming down from the horse, the Adam's apple rolled, slowly raised his hand, said in a choked voice, suddenly knelt down, hugged Gongsun Zhi's legs, and cried out loudly: "...... Chieftain! Lao Gao dreamed of going back to Uetani County...... I want to continue to eat meat and drink with everyone, so let me come back-"

"It's because you're my brother." Gongsun Zhi lifted him up with force, his eyes were serious, and he said word by word: "It's good!" ”

He patted the shoulder of the crying bald man, looked at the carriage over there, and took a deep breath, "I already have a brother who is about to die, and I don't want you to leave me again, so ...... Lao Gao, if you want to live well, just sit in Dingyang and enjoy your happiness, and you can do nothing...... It is a task for me to give you a full house of children and grandchildren, and it is the only one and only one that I have given you. ”

"That's a fucking animal......"

Gao Sheng wiped his wet red eyes, "...... I'm going to see the sour guys. ”

Looking at the figure going over there, Gongsun Zhi also stepped forward towards Xu Rong and the others, and the latter hurriedly stepped over and bowed: "The last general has seen the governor." ”

"No need to be polite, I won't enter the city today, go directly to Yanmen Pass, remember not to make a noise, wait for me to come back, and then talk to you guys."

Xu Rong and Guo Yan glanced at each other, bowed their heads, and said in unison: "Yes!" ”

Soon after, the team set off again, and there was no sense of letting the army escort, but a few caravans came over to cover, mixed out of Yanmen County, and after staying in Juzhu Mountain for half a day, they finally passed Guangwu, and went all the way south and passed through Yuanping County for three days before entering the boundary of Yangqu.

The scholar's hometown is located in a Zhuangzi twenty miles outside the county seat, surrounded by two villages next to each other, and farmers who are busy in the fields can often be seen on the road. The wheels were undulating, the carriage swayed, Dongfang Sheng stood up weakly, and looked around.

“.…… The ancestor is Dongfang Shuo, and the clan is also prosperous, and when he arrived at Emperor Huan, he divided a lot of side expenses, some of them fell halfway, and some of them were like my family...... There are still assets left...... What about me...... Another nerd, when my father was still alive, my brother often hooked up with my father's concubine, and then my father died, and I didn't think much about it...... I didn't wake up until I was swept out of the house...... Maybe...... They already had this plan. ”

The team walked through the fields, whispering to Gongsun Zhi and Gao Sheng all the way, and the sun gradually rose. Li Ke took the token of the imperial court and galloped out of the team with several horses, rushed into the Zhuangzi over there, and after asking the villagers, he found Kuili's home, and pulled the other party out of the stove, "The valley marquis rewarded by the imperial court has returned to his hometown, and you immediately recruit someone to greet him, this is a seal." ”

Dragged in a daze, Kui Li, who was thrown outside the door, looked at it with a small boxy seal ribbon, and didn't know if it was true or false, and then looked at the other party's tall heads and horses, wearing armor and carrying knives, trembling in his heart for no reason, and asked in a low voice: "No one in the surrounding villages is filial piety, and no one is an official...... Which one is it? ”

"Is there a family in your village with the surname Dongfang?"

"Yes, it's in the Zhuangzi in front." The stout Kui Li pointed in the direction of that side and picked his scalp, "But I haven't heard that anyone in their family is an official, are you mistaken?" ”

Syllable!

The palm of his hand suddenly slapped to the back of the head of the man, and directly fanned the person and staggered forward a few steps, Li Ke held the mace and glared angrily: "Anyway, it's from your village, hurry up and notify someone to come to greet you, there is one less person, next time this mallet will knock on your head." ”

Na Kui Li touched the back of his head, looked at the mace that was about to be beaten, quickly closed his mouth, immediately spread his feet and ran out, knocking on the door door to call people out, Li Ke turned over and watched the man: "This person is very fast when his feet arrive, and I will ask him later if he wants to be a scout in the army......

At the back of the village, the house is not very big, but compared to the closed village, it is already a high-ranking family, a chubby man dressed in silk is half-lying on the couch and teasing a rather young maid next to him, and on the side room, a rich and bloated woman looks in the bronze mirror, tilts her head to admire a newly bought hosta on the bun, and her thick lips curl up: "Xianggong, do you see if the concubine is beautiful......

"Beauty...... Beautiful ......" Through the curtain, the man's voice was a little perfunctory.

The jade bead shook, the disc-like face was smeared with rouge, the eyes that were narrowed into a slit glanced side, the nose snorted coldly, and whispered: "...... I don't know what to do, I'll give that maid away tomorrow. ”

At this time, the man who was holding the maid's small hand seemed to hear footsteps, and when he turned his head, a servant came running hurriedly outside the door, "Master, Kui Li seems to have something looking for you outside the gate." ”

The fat body twisted and waved his hand: "Let him come in, it's all his own people." ”

The servant nodded again and again, and soon after turning back, the village Kui came in with a roar, and he didn't say much politely, he took a bowl of water and drank it, thinking that he was forced to run many homes with a mace, and he was tired enough, he sat down: "Who in your family is a big official, and he has been sealed as a marquis, and he didn't notify me in advance, and now he is coming back to visit relatives, and he is in a hurry, how bad!" ”

"Yes, yes, Kui Liduo...... Wait......" The man on the couch hurriedly sat up, waved his hand to let the maid go down, and stared at the figure drinking water with wide eyes: "My family? There are only two people in my family, and I don't have any children, where do I come to be an official......"

The words paused abruptly, as if remembering something, and jumped down, tore open his throat, and shouted into the side room: "Woe to you, Madame, come out, woe is coming-"

"I was screaming about something, and I was so scared that I almost broke the newly bought hairpin."

The chubby man stamped his feet anxiously and pointed outside: "My nerdy second brother somehow seals ...... Sealed marquis...... It's not a disaster to come back now, hurry up and pack up and leave! ”

Smack.

The hosta fell from her hand and shattered, and the moment the fragments splashed out, the fat woman rushed up and slapped the man with a cry: "Tell you not to come with that fox spirit at the beginning, causing my father-in-law to die of a sudden illness, what can I say about how can I give a fool a fool, what should I do now?!" You useless thing! ”

Kui Li opened his mouth slightly, looked at the two people in amazement, and raised his fingers tremblingly, "It turns out that the old lady of the East is ....... is angry to death......"

Facing it, something smashed over, bang, the original stunned figure, fell down, blood on the head, in a moment, the whole yard was chaotic and noisy, the back door quietly opened, two figures mixed with several servants and maids sneaked out, before they got out of the alley, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

The horse's nose snorted, Li Ke turned his head to look at the pedestrian, raised his mace and pointed over: "Go back, sweep the couch to greet you, otherwise this mallet won't have long eyes." ”

The couple in the crowd turned pale with fright, and sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down their cheeks, and wanted to plead, but they were driven back to the courtyard by the combination of rough fists and kicks.

Soon after, many villagers gathered at the head of the village, men, women and children stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the road ahead, and I don't know who said: "There are many people in front, and there are really big officials in our village." ”

In their field of vision, a team of more than 300 people spread the road at the entrance of the village.
