In the sixth year of Zhongping, in September, this season has entered autumn, but the temperature has not yet dropped, and the white wolf has re-stabilized after a short period of chaos for half a month.

The sun has not yet risen, the air in the early morning is a little cool, the little horse thief Li Ke followed the leader with a torch and walked up the hills, on the grassland pasture outside the hills, the roaring sound of the horses' hooves came from afar, this is a fixed training hour every day, rain or shine.

Li Ke looked at the leader's back, thinking about the fusion of the horse thief and the white horse Yicong half a month ago, at first he never adapted, after all kinds of brawls, to later adaptation and unity, although he couldn't figure out why the two people gradually combined together, becoming well-behaved and murderous.

He couldn't figure it out in his head, he always felt that the leader of Gongsun could do it easily, as a guard, he couldn't help but stand up straight, looking at the hundreds of figures below who had already run several laps.

Between the hills, the smoke rises, the sun has shone down at some point, Gongsun Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the gap between the white clouds and the blue sky, and occasionally a bird flew through his field of vision.

The news of Luoyang in the south was learned from the passing caravans, the only one who could threaten Dong Zhuo's Bingzhou assassin Shi Ding Yuan, after being killed by Lu Bu, he collected the Bingzhou army to his command, and now the entire imperial court is in his hands, according to the trajectory of history, slowly rolling, soon, the alliance of princes will begin.

The sound of the mountain has become noisy, the people running on the hills have returned, shouting loudly about the opening of the meal, some people directly took off the stripes and jumped into the pool, the surrounding daughters-in-law laughed and scolded, picked up the stone next to it and threw it into the water.

After the discussion of Dong, the princes fought, and the court existed in name only, this world was a field of struggle for power and profit for all princes, but it was an indescribable pain for the people in the north and south. Put it small, Gongsun Zhi here is Xianbei in the east and north, there are Xiongnu in the northwest, and the Han in the south, he is just in the crack, if one day, there are more and more people here, there will be a lot of eyes looking at the White Wolf Plain.

After subduing the white horse ride that night, he had actually indirectly established contact with the Gongsun family, and if this place really couldn't develop anymore, he had to consider going elsewhere to find a bigger way out.

Not long after he walked down the hills, a team of horses from outside the hills came back, and Gao Sheng jumped down from his horse, handed the big knife to the others, and strode over.

"Chief, I've inquired a few lines with those past merchants, and seven or eight hundred of us are really not suitable for taking the avenue."

"Walking the cow and drinking the mountain?"

"That's right, it is there to insert Hebei, and Erzhou, down the mountain south to Taihang Mountain, across the Yellow River is Luoyang, this road, there are few towns, and the government is not strict, so many of us can really pass smoothly."

Gongsun Zhi frowned and looked at him: "Is it reliable?" ”

"Guaranteed to be reliable." Gao Sheng patted his chest, "It's all smuggling salt and iron, last time a guy was stopped by us, and then he was released, but he didn't want to meet him again in Yanmen County, so he asked." ”

The surrounding sounds were noisy and noisy, the man who was snoring and drinking while walking with a pottery bowl shouted for another bowl, and the woman who took care of the pot and stove scolded each other with a big belly, and a little farther away, on the edge of the waterhole, the figures under the trees were chatting while eating, turning the originally cold and empty hills into lively.

"Let's get ready...... We set off shortly. ”

He whispered in the specks of light shining through the gaps in the trees, and then, as the hour drew to the afternoon, the forest outside the cave was surprisingly quiet.

Under the dense shade, the bustling family gathered there, wiping some red and swollen eyes, their husbands had already led the war horses to gather in the open area, and the faces of these people were fierce, but at this time someone waved at the women, and even a voice shouted: "Take good care of my son, and wait for me to come back and have a few more." ”

The sobs became louder in the women's pile.

At this time, Gao Sheng also walked away from a mother-in-law, and when he saw Gongsun Zhi coming out of the wolf's den, he threw the big knife to the ground, and shouted in his voice: "Shut up!" ”

The buzzing voice suddenly quieted down, Gongsun Zhi came over and didn't say anything, he raised his head, directly turned on the horse, and ordered: "Everyone get on the horse." ”

At this time, in the light spot in the shade of the trees, 800 people turned over and mounted their horses together, and there was a muffled bang in the entire hills.

The sky is getting dark.

Gongsun stopped pulling the reins and drew his sword.

"Let's go—"

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

Far away from Tiannan, the clouds were a little blue, and the night slowly fell.

Drops of rain are falling.

In Luoyang City, the lights are still lit, and from time to time there will be women's screams and cries around the city, and then there are several Xiliang soldiers who walked out of the room with their pants and rushed into the rain. The mud rolled into a turbid stream between the streets and alleys, the horse's hooves trampled down, splashed again, and dozens of pairs of footsteps trotted past, and there was a soldier in a robe, and the figure on horseback shouted: "The Taishi has an order, no one is allowed to walk at night on the street, and the violator will be executed on the spot." ”

The rain fell down the eaves, and a man with a figure of more than seven feet, thin eyes and long hair, sat cross-legged under the eaves, staring at the bamboo slip in his hand, and when he heard the night order faintly coming from outside, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became serious.

"Meng De, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the hall tonight, there is still a spare room in the old man's house, so you might as well sit down." The source of the voice came from inside the house, an old man of nearly sixty sorted out the scrolls, and slowly spoke: "The Xiliang tiger wolf is raging outside, it's better to be careful." ”

Under the eaves, Cao Cao closed his eyes and put down the bamboo slips: "Then it's also interesting to stay in Cai Shizhong's mansion and read books, but Cao's heart can't be quiet." ”

Over there, the old man put a roll of bamboo slips into the bookshelf, looked back at him, and sighed slightly: "In the final analysis, it is still Yuan Shaozhi who is very talented, made a wedding dress for others, and put the entire court and Luoyang into it. ”

The candle flame warmly illuminated the room, and the figure outside walked in and knelt down across from him.

"Then how should Cai Shizhong deal with himself?"

"Me?" Cai Yong laughed and continued to sort out the bamboo slips: "Dong Zhuo recruited the old man, and the old man naturally followed it, one is to protect my collection of ten thousand books, and the other is to persuade Dong Zhuo to kill less." ”

Over there, the candle flame shone on Cao Cao's face, and in his eyes, a complicated look flashed, his fist slammed, he stood up for a moment, and then sat down again, staring at the fire in silence.

Soon after, he stood up abruptly and walked out. Behind him, Cai Yong said: "Dong Zhuo has collected all the soldiers and horses in the hands of the general He Jin, the general He Miao and even Lu Bu, the general trend has been achieved, Meng Deche must not be in danger, and he should be slowly plotted." ”

"...... in the Wait"

Cao Cao walked to the door, turned sideways and bowed to him, "...... The rise and fall of the family and the country is anxious in my Cao Mengde's heart, how can I get rid of the thief without taking risks? ”

"Mengde... Cao Mengde...... Where are you going..... wait? ”

The old man chased out the door, and the figure in the darkness had already opened the courtyard door, and paused, "Cao went to Wang Situ, borrowed something, and said goodbye-"

The sound is unequivocal.

……

Cai Yong sighed, asked his subordinates to close the door, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and was not in the mood, so he walked to the backyard, walked under the eaves, the slight wind mixed with the faint sound of the piano, the old man stayed at the door with the candlelight lit for a while, and waited until the string sound stopped, and then pushed the door in.

A girl in a white dress sat behind the piano table, her tender fingers gently stroked the strings, looking simple and clean, hearing the sound of pushing the door, she raised her head, her long hair slipped down from the thin shoulders in a slight movement, and the leisurely lightness of the book was revealed between her eyebrows. ”

"Gone... "I just came to see you, and now that I've seen it, my father won't disturb you to rest." ”

As he spoke, he withdrew under the woman's puzzled gaze, closed the door, stood under the eaves and exhaled softly, in fact, in addition to the two that he said to Cao Cao before, there was one more that he didn't say, that is, to protect the two daughters under his knees.

"Perhaps... It is good to let Zhao Ji leave the chaotic Luoyang, she still has in-laws with the Wei family, so it's okay......"

Rain splashes on the face.
