Chapter 322: Opportunity Waits

Cui Chengru's carriage had not yet stopped, the people had already come down, and they hurriedly ran into the Su Mansion, the old man was sweating profusely, and since his legs and feet were very neat, several servants were left far behind. Shi Bao was talking to a few guards at the door, and when he saw Cui Chengru's appearance, he said with a smile: "Old man, are you in such a hurry?" ”

Cui Chengru ran inside and greeted Shi Bao: "Big event, big thing!" ”

Sima Xiangru was reading a book in the courtyard, shaking his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what he was happy about. Cui Chengru rushed in with a smile on his face: "Mr. Sima? Where is Mr. Su? ”

Sima Xiangru saw Cui Chengru's appearance and said with a smile: "It seems that there is a good thing?" There are always good things in our family these days, Wen Taishou was successfully released from prison, I don't know what good news Mr. Cui brought today? ”

Cui Chengru was very excited: "It's indeed a good thing, a good opportunity!" ”

While the two were talking, Su Ren and Wen Dang came out of the backyard. These days, Su Ren has been by the teacher's side, although Wen Dang is an old master, other things can't teach Su Ren a lot, all kinds of ancient texts and Han Dynasty grammar and writing have given Su Ren a lot of help. Since coming to the Han Dynasty, Su Ren has been studying all the time. The writing of the Han Dynasty, the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and even the clothing were all the goals of Su Ren's study. The more I learned, the more I felt that there was a very profound truth in this.

When Wen Dang saw Cui Chengru, he knew that he must have come to find Su Ren. nodded to Cui Chengru from afar, stopped and didn't move forward. Su Renshi gave a salute: "Teacher, forgive me, it is estimated that there is any major matter, and the student will deal with it." ”

Wen Dang nodded: "You are doing great things, it is really difficult for you to accompany the old man these days." ”

Su Ren smiled: "Being able to be by the teacher's side these days, the students have learned a lot, and I hope to stay with the teacher more in the future." ”

Wen Dang nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the backyard. A few people sat down in the lobby, and some people served tea. Cui Chengru wiped the sweat from his head and drank the tea in one go: "Sir, what a chance, what a chance!" ”

Su Ren and Sima Xiangru both looked at Cui Chengru. Cui Chengru smiled: "In the next few days, I have been running around for Miss Dong to see Mr. Dong, but I still haven't done it, and I have not dared to come to see each other because of Mr. Yin's entrustment, and I have to come today, this is a great opportunity." ”

Sima Xiangru said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Cui still sell Guanzi, and he didn't talk about business for a long time." ”

"Blame me, blame me!" Cui Chengru laughed at himself twice: "Look at me, I'm confused, although I haven't been able to finish Mr. Dong's affairs, but I heard one thing in Xia, Your Majesty is going to Pingyang these days!" ”

"Pingyang?"

"Yes, Binh Duong! His Majesty's sister Princess Pingyang, married to Pingyang Hou Cao Shou, so named Princess Pingyang, His Majesty and Princess Pingyang are a mother and compatriots, the relationship between sister and brother is very good, the Empress Dowager because of Confucianism will encircle Her Majesty in the palace, every day can only take people to wander in Shanglin Yuan, these days I don't know why, Your Majesty suddenly proposed to visit Princess Pingyang in Pingyang, the Empress Dowager actually agreed. ”

"When are you leaving?" Su Ren hurriedly asked.

Cui Chengru thought for a while: "It's just these two days!" ”

Sima Xiangru said: "Sure enough, it's a good opportunity, it's not easy for Your Majesty to leave the palace, Pingyang is not far from Chang'an, we can seize this opportunity, if we can see Your Majesty, Mr. Dong may be able to get out of prison!" ”

The news brought by Cui Chengru made Su Ren and Sima Xiangru a little excited. Su Ren didn't think about this possibility, in history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also went to Princess Pingyang's Mansion to take refuge because of the struggle between the Empress Dowager Dou. It's just that Su Ren doesn't know the time, and another reason is that Su Ren's arrival has changed many things in Dahan, and he is not sure whether Liu Che will go to Pingyang according to the original trajectory.

Princess Pingyang was named Princess Pingyang because she married Cao Shou, Marquis of Pingyang. Cao Shou, Marquis of Pingyang, is a descendant of Cao Shen, the founder of the Han Dynasty. In that year, Liu Bang founded the country, and Cao Shen was listed as the second with his military achievements, second only to Xiao He of Xiangguo, and was named the Marquis of Pingyang and built the Marquis of Pingyang. According to the current place, it is about near Linfen, Shanxi, less than 500 miles away from the capital Chang'an.

Su Ren let out a sigh: "Sure enough, it's a good opportunity, it's not in vain that we waited for this scene, it seems that Your Majesty's pretense of the communication between Cao Shou and the courtiers was discovered by the Empress Dowager, so I had no choice but to go to Princess Pingyang's Mansion to discuss major matters, and also gave us a chance!" Mr. Cui, I would like to ask you to find out more about Your Majesty's trip this time, including the soldiers and horses honor guard, and the clearer who will accompany you, the better. ”

"No!" Cui Chengru hurriedly clenched his fists: "Sir, don't worry, this time even if you lose your life, you must figure it out." ”

After a few more gossips, Cui Chengru quit and went to do his own business. Su Ren and Sima Xiangru discussed their plan, since Liu Che was going to Pingyang, then they had to meet anyway. How to meet this is also particular, and if you suddenly appear, you will be treated as an assassin by the emperor's guards, and if you kill it, you will die in vain. What's more, with such a big movement, Princess Guantao will not pay attention to it, even if they meet, if Princess Guantao knows, the lives of Su Ren and others will not be guaranteed.

The best way is to enter Princess Pingyang's Mansion without letting people find out, and then find a suitable opportunity to meet Liu Che. But this is not a simple matter, the princess's mansion is comparable to the prince's minister, there are private soldiers and guards, if there are spies, they will be discovered immediately. After thinking about it for a long time and nothing came of it, the two of them not only became melancholy, but also felt pity in their hearts as they watched the good opportunity slip away.

Huo Jin rushed in, carrying a halberd in his hand, the whole body was jet black, and even the halberd body was black without any light. This halberd is all made of iron, and the halberd shaft and the halberd body are connected as one, which is a lump of iron. Hawking waved it twice, with the sound of the wind, and it hurt a little on his face.

Su Ren frowned: "What are you doing with this thing?" This is where you practice your halberd? ”

Hawking smiled: "The second brother just gave it to me, saying that it will really belong to me in the future, big brother, do you remember the bag that the second brother took out in the Three Immortals Temple outside Zitong?" That's what it contains! ”

Su Ren immediately remembered that at that time, he felt that this thing was not simple, and now it seems that his guess is true, this halberd is very likely to be the weapon of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, but he didn't expect Leng Jun to really give it to Hawking.

Hawking danced twice: "Yes, good things, it's not light or heavy, it's just right, and it's definitely good to go into battle in the future!" ”

Hawking was about to walk out after the show, but Su Ren stopped him: "Wait, I remember that your hometown doesn't seem to be in Shu County, where did your father say it was?" ”

"Hedong Pingyang, what's wrong?"

Su Ren and Sima Xiangru's eyes lit up at the same time, and Su Ren couldn't help but be excited: "Do you know any relatives in your family in Hedong, or people your father knows?" ”

Hawking thought hard, thought for a long time, and scratched his head: "I really don't know this, I have to ask my father, when he left Pingyang, maybe there was no me!" ”

"It's too late, think about it!"

Hawking thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head: "I really don't know, why does the eldest brother want to go to Pingyang?" Maybe someone will know my father's name when I go and say it. ”

Sima Xiangru nodded: "It's also a way, Xiao Jinzi can't remember anything when he is young, if he arrives in Pingyang and talks about the name of the fourth brother, maybe someone really knows him." ”

Su Ren sighed: "That's it, go, pack up your things, and follow me to Pingyang tomorrow!" ”

Hawking was overjoyed, rushed out of the door, and Zhang Luo went to his luggage. Both smiled as they watched Hawking disappear outside the door. Children like to run around, Hawking looks strong like a calf, in fact, he is only sixteen years old, he has been used to following Su Ren to the north and south over the years, and it is unlikely that he will be confined at home.

Sima Xiangru retracted his gaze: "Sir, I'll go to Pingyang tomorrow, ...... this family?" ”

"I'm going to take my second brother and Xiao Jinzi, and the family will be handed over to you, Brother Sima, in order to avoid letting Princess Guantao's Mansion grab the handle, don't do anything until I have no news! Also, if Mr. Cui can open up the joints, let Dong Qian go to meet Mr. Dong, and I don't know how Mr. Dong has spent the past few months. ”

Sima Xiangru nodded: "I understand, I wish Mr. a successful start this time!" ”

Su Ren smiled and asked Huang Shisan to pick someone and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning. Since the emperor is going to leave in the next two days, they must go to Pingyang before the emperor, so that they can sneak into the Pingyang Princess Mansion. As soon as the emperor's car arrives, not to mention people, not even flies, don't want to fly in, the emperor's safety must be greater than everything.

After everyone learned about Su Ren's plan, the people who went were very happy, such as Hawking. Those who stayed behind were depressed, like stone treasures. Su Ren looked at Shi Bao, who was wilting, and smiled: "You are now the leader of the escort team, not a child, such a big pomp in our family is handed over to you, you have to do your best!" ”

Shi Bao lowered his head: "I also want to go to Pingyang!" ”

Su Ren touched Shi Bao's head: "Are you from our escort team?" ”

"Yes!"

"Then let me ask you, what is the first rule of discipline in the convoy?"

"All actions are under command!"

"Then I now order you, stay at home, take care of your sister and Miss Dong, eldest sister, and Mr. Sima, and more importantly, my teacher Wen Taishou is also there, such an important matter, Xiao Jinzi's rough and rough personality can't do it, you know?"

Shi Bao glanced up at Su Ren. Su Ren squeezed his eyes at Shi Bao: "Also, take advantage of this time to learn from Mr. Wen, when I come back, you will be my junior brother, and you will be better than Xiao Jinzi when I come back!" ”

Shi Bao rolled his eyes and thought about it, and nodded: "It's too!" I'm safer than Hawking, don't worry, sir, I'll take care of all of us! ”

Su Ren nodded and smiled knowingly.

After comforting Shi Bao, he said a few more words to the others, came to Dong Qian and smiled: "It's okay, you will definitely succeed, I have asked Mr. Cui to find someone to let you meet your father, if it goes well, in these few days, don't cry when you meet, don't let him worry about the old man!" ”

Dong Qian nodded vigorously, and took the initiative to reach out and grab Su Ren's hand: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back!" The two of them had no superfluous words, everything was silent.
