The sky outside was very cloudy, as if there was rain falling, the muddy light shone into the room, the girl sat quietly in front of the lamp and candle looking through the bamboo slips, which Gongsun Zhi had scavenged for her, and some classics were quite precious, and footsteps sounded outside the door. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

There was a soft creak, the door was pushed open, she glanced sideways, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was about to put down the bamboo slip and get up, when the figure who came in pressed her palm: "Don't get up, you sit." Then he knelt down across from the desks.

When Cai Yan looked at it suspiciously, Gongsun Zhi touched his swollen forehead, he didn't know how to talk about it, after all, her father Cai Yong died, died in Tingwei Prison, worried that the girl would not be able to accept such a fact.

"Gongsun, what's wrong with you?" Cai Yan stretched out his hand and pulled down the hand that was rubbing his forehead, propped his elbows on top of several cases, and leaned forward a little: "Is it something in the army that confuses you?" ”

"It's not."

Here, Gongsun Zhi held the girl's hand, took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally had to say it, "You came out early this morning, and there was news from outside, which was about your father." ”

can be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and classics, what a smart woman Cai Yan is, seeing the seriousness of the face of the figure opposite, her body stiffened for a moment, her thin eyebrows were slightly bent, and her eyes were faintly watery, probably guessing something bad, and her hand suddenly clenched in the other party's hand.

"Did something happen to my father?"

"Don't get excited, calm down"

However, his eyes were stubborn, he grabbed Gongsun Zhi's hand, his nails sank into the flesh, his lips trembled slightly, and he repeated the same words: "Did you tell me if something happened to my father?"

A tear fell.

Gongsun Zhi sighed, still grabbed Yin Hong by the girl's nails, was silent for a while, and raised his tear-stained face, "Tell me, is my father no longer there?!" ”

The man nodded: "Because of crying Dong Zhuo, he was imprisoned by Wang Yun, and he died in prison soon after." ”

The lamppost fell to the ground with a snap, the flames went out and green smoke rose, and the girl slowly got up, her fingers and lips trembled under her wide sleeves, and she stumbled out a few steps.

"Father has always been kind to people, and occasionally he will say crazy words, but it will not be killed" In the choked tone, Cai Yan had already cried, the whole person was trembling, pursed his lips, and tears slid down, "Why did Wang Zishi kill him, he is a sixty-year-old man, why kill him." ”

Gongsun Zhi got up and walked over, holding the trembling girl in his arms, "You need to be calm, I will avenge my father-in-law's revenge." ”

"Can't report"

She pressed her nose against her chest, couldn't contain her emotions, and began to cry. Since the death of her mother, she was raised by her father with her sister, and she did not feel depressed about the great Confucianism of the world, but listened to her eyes and ears, and revered her father very much, but when the bad news came, the past came to her heart, and such sad emotions could not be suppressed.

"I just want to go back to my father to be buried, and my sister" Cai Yan shed tears, and her lips moved: "I just don't know what happened to her now"

took two steps back and shouted in a depressed voice: "Gongsun, I have almost no relatives in the world." ”

"And me!"

Gongsun Zhi went over again and hugged her, "I am your husband, and I am the closest person, whether in the past or in the future, it is!" He carried the girl back to the bed, "If you want to cry, just cry enough in the futon, and when the sadness is over, you will become strong." ”

After speaking, the figure left the room, probably wanting to leave space for the girl. The sound of the door closing, Cai Yan on the bed was lying flat, her eyes were looking straight at the dome, there was a thunder outside the house, she opened her mouth slightly, and gritted her teeth.

"Father, we are kind to others, I think we are doing something wrong, this world turns out that good people should not live long, Zhao Ji doesn't want to learn from you"

His lips trembled, and a tear came out of the corner of his eye.

********************************************

Heavy rain fell from the sky.

The brazier burned in the hall of Juyi, the heat distorted the air, and the rows of kneeling figures on both sides did not have their usual arrogant temperament at this time, and they all closed their breath and looked at the superior Gongsun Zhi, in the quiet hall, swords, guns, axes and halberds hung on the pillars, setting off a solemn picture, and then someone stood up.

"The leader Dong Gong is dead, Xiong wants to go to Chang'an, if it is possible to collect the bones and bury them, he and I are also gracious." Hua Xiong's face was not good-looking, and when he said this at this time, his tone was sad, "There are also some brothers in the army, the prince does not forgive, and it will not be easy in the future, so he simply pulled over and pulled the banner together." ”

After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun united with the state army Lu Bu and Huangfu Song to control Chang'an, and his character was as strong as him, and he would never accept the surrender of the Xiliang army that had harmed Luoyang.

Hua Xiong used to have an average status in the Xiliang Army, most of them were used as fierce generals to charge into battle, and his popularity was naturally there, so he paused, "Guo Yan and Li Wei won't talk about it, they can't climb, but Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and others have an old relationship with me, maybe they can say it." ”

"I'm waiting for bandits, they may not be willing to come over and be small." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand: "But since you have the heart to worship Dong Zhuo, then go, as for those people, there is no need to solicit them, but if you go, there is one more thing."

Hua Xiong straightened his chest and arched his hand: "Leader, please speak." ”

"I want the head of the prince's division."

The hall was quiet, and Gongsun Zhi above sat behind the long case, beckoned, walked out of the side seat, and came to the middle to give up. One of them is Li Heizi, and the other is quite young, it is the Black Mountain thief named Han Long who killed Lei Gong Cao Shi and brought the group of women out to mediate that day. Originally, I thought that this person was ordinary, but when he was recruited into Yan Rou's cavalry, he found that he was quite skilled, good at short-handed soldiers and hidden, and he had fled from the north to this place and stole everywhere to practice his skills.

One is good at shooting, the other is good at assassination.

The two stepped forward and arched their hands: "Swear to take off Wang Yun's head and sacrifice it to the leader." ”

Hua Xiong looked at the two of them left and right, and also arched his hand: "The leader gave me a thousand horses, so that I could welcome them and ensure that the two of them came back." ”

The discussion has been decided, the three of them are going down to prepare, and the hall talked about the passage of the Youzhou cavalry, Dongfang Sheng said: "Within half a month, the Youzhou cavalry has arrived in Yangcheng, Jizhou, and it is only a few dozen miles away from Zhongshan. ”

"There are four thousand of them, and today the leader of Hua took away one thousand, and we have two thousand horsemen left, counting some of the Montenegrin foot soldiers who can fight, and we can only make up three thousand if we are full." Cao Chun's hand slapped on a few cases, "But it's enough to eat this cavalry that hasn't fought for a long time." ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded, starting from a hundred horse thieves, after all kinds of fighting, now it is no longer reckless at the beginning, but it can also distinguish between the virtual and the real on both sides, "In this case, brothers, go down and prepare." When this 4,000-strong cavalry arrives at our land, it is time to dismount, and in five days, stop them."

The figure stood up.

"Crush—"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up and clenched their fists, and the hall shook.
