Jiang ordered the two private soldiers of Sujiabao who stayed in Chang'an to hear that the rumors of Gaocheng had spread to the cave world, and they quietly arranged them at the east and west gates of Chang'an City, which was nothing more than writing sixteen big characters with honey water, which only took a moment of effort, and did not stop after writing. Walked out of Xuanping Gate, all the way through Huayin, Huangguan, to Luoyang, these two Su private soldiers stayed in Chang'an for more than two months, have long been impatient, return to the heart like an arrow, get up early in the dark and hurry, rushed to Luoyang on the tenth day of August, just met Ran Sheng, Shen Chiqian led the sergeant to prepare to go south, the two were overjoyed, and they returned to Pingyu Sujiabao on the same road.

Ran Sheng and Shen Chiqian rushed to Luoyang yesterday, and Shen Chiqian originally wanted to stay with his father Shen Jin. But Shen Jin ordered him to follow Chen Caozhi back to Jiangdong. Shen Jin thinks that his son Shen Chiqian will be very promising if he stays by Chen Caozhi's side, and he will be able to get more experience, Wuxing Shen will be revived, and Chen Caozhi will give great help, although Chen Caozhi is now just a seven-rank prince washing horses, but Shen Jin firmly believes that Chen Caozhi will become a character like Tao Kan and Huan Wen

Ran Sheng led 300 soldiers, 600 war horses and Shen Chiqian and others to travel more than 100 miles a day all the way to the south, and visited Yingchuan Taishou Gao Rou in Yingchuan. It was also known that the Yan State sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Jin. Couldn't help but be surprised, Shen Chiqian told Gao Taishou about Chen Caozhi's strategy and analyzed the situation in Yan and Qin. Gao Rou was amazed, if Chen Caozhi's prediction came true, then next year would be the period of the Northern Expedition to Yanguo, although Gao Rou was not convinced of this, she was also excited, and immediately strengthened the line report to pay attention to the changes in the situation between Chang'an and Gaocheng"

Ran Sheng, Shen Chiqian and his entourage were lightly armed and fast. On August 21, they rushed to Pingyu Sujiabao. Coincidentally, Chen Caozhi and Su Zhu took more than ten people from Huang Xiaotong to arrive on this day, but the envoy of Yan State, Huangfu Zhen and his entourage, were nowhere to be seen, but it turned out that Chen Caozhi did not want Yan to make Huangfu really come to Sujiabao, so when he was in Wanqiu, he asked Yuan Hong to accompany Huangfu Zhen to the southeast through Ruyang and Hefei to Jiankang, and he went south to Pingyu.

Su Daozhi, the lord of Sujiabao, got the news a month and a half ago that Chen Caozhi was taken captive to Gaocheng by the Xianbei people. Su Xiang also became a captive, Su Daozhi was shocked, he originally wanted his eldest son Su Kai to follow Chen Caozhi to experience, and by the way to see if this Chen Caozhi was worthy of entrusting the clan, but he didn't expect to be taken captive to Yan State, and his old wife Gao Shi cried all day long, complaining about Su Daozhi and complaining about Chen Caozhi. Su Daozhi was distressed, and secretly regretted that he didn't know anyone, and Yuan Ran was Chen Caozhi's talent in the world, but he was a boastful and talkative person. Jiangzuo celebrities, misleading the country and the people, Su Daozhi sent Li Zhuang to Luoyang to visit Su Cao's whereabouts, and the news brought back more than half a month ago was that Chen Caozhi was not taken captive by the Yan people, but specially went to see Murong Ke, and Su Zhu also followed him to Gaodu

Su Dao was shocked. But it can't be imagined, only waiting for the news, ten days ago, two sergeants under Ran Sheng came to Sujiabao, these two sergeants were sent by Chen Caozhi to the Leopard Temple at the West Gate of Gaocheng to arrange oracles, and after completing the task, they left Gaocheng, and came to Sujiabao to wait for Chen Caozhi according to the prior agreement, and Duan Zhao, who left Gaocheng the day before, had already gone down to Jiangdong and went to Guxiao Xifu to return to Huan Wen. Su Dao questioned and knew that Chen Caozhi, Su Qi and others were quite courteous in Gaocheng, so they were a little relieved, but they didn't know their return date, and they still couldn't help but worry, and today they saw the eldest son Su Qi and Chen Caozhi, Ran Sheng and others coming back in a mighty way, Su Dao was overjoyed, and he was anxious to kill pigs and sheep in Wubao Zhuangke. A grand banquet was held to welcome Chen Cao's return from his mission.

This day's Sujiabao is very lively, compared to the New Year, it is still festive, the last time Su Daozhi still had doubts about Chen Caozhi, did not let Ran Sheng's three hundred soldiers enter the dock fort, this time it is naturally a big dock door, and the laughter in the dock fort is endless.

That night, Su drove to his father to report the experience of going west to Chang'an and going north to Handcheng in the past few months, Su Qi was full of praise for Chen Caozhi, and said: "Daddy also saw it, Chen Zhijun's strategy and wisdom are unpredictable, and two nursery rhymes solve the siege of Luoyang." A piece of prophecy makes Fu Jian anxious, next year's Northern Expedition, Chen Yuanjun's future is unlimited, I Shiping Su followed it and Han Wei, in the future my clan will benefit greatly, in the past, my father once said that the trip to Qin can sharpen Chen Yuanjun's edge, to see if it is worthy of my Su family's daughter Gan as a concubine, today Chen Zhijun has returned, what should Dad say? ”

Su Daozhi muttered: "This also has to be agreed by Ruolan, if she marries Chen Yuanjun as his wife, then I don't care if she agrees or not, it will be decided, just to be a concubine, I have to convince her." ”

Su Xiao said: "It is impossible for Ruolan to marry Chen Zhijun as his wife, Chen Yuanjun has a deep love for the Lu girl, and when he heard that the Lu girl was forced into the palace, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fly back to Jiankang, Chen Yuanjun will leave tomorrow, and his father will make a decision early." ”

Su Daozhi shook his head and said: "This is not in a hurry, I haven't discussed this matter with your mother, you know, your mother regards Ruolan as a treasure, I heard that she is a concubine, she will definitely turn her face, even if it is Wang and Xie Zidi, you will not be able to do it, this must be persuaded slowly." First persuade your mother, and then persuade Ruolan, anyway, being a concubine is not a wife, don't be in a hurry, Ruolan is only fourteen years old

Su Xiang was quite ashamed when he heard this, and nodded and said, "What Daddy said is that this matter will make you worry about the Lu girl in the long run!" Affair. At this time, I must have no intention of taking a concubine. Next year, Hu Gui Chi Wei said again: "Daddy, this time I want to go to Jiangdong with Chen Yuanjun, and next year's Northern Expedition, when there is a chance for my son to make contributions." ”

Su Daozhi has three sons, the second son helps him take care of the Wubao family business, the youngest son is only twelve years old this year, the burden of revitalizing the family naturally has to be borne by the eldest son Su Qi, Su Xiao is married, and has a son, can leave home to win fame.

Su Daozhi sighed with emotion: "Okay, chess, you can go out with peace of mind, and I should get ahead of the Su clan."

After Su Xiang withdrew from his father's study, he saw that the moon was clear, so he turned to his sister Su Hui's boudoir, but saw Su Hui and the little maid Qinghu standing under the corridor, as if listening to something, so he smiled and asked, "What is Sister Lan listening to?"

Su Hui smiled at her brother and said, "Big brother, listen, what kind of music is this, is it a recorder?" "Delicate finger dotted the night sky in the east, and the music came from the east.

Su Xiang listened intently for a moment, but did not hear any sound. But he said: "By the way, it is the recorder." Chen Zhijun's recorder is famous, and you have heard the story of Huainan Taishou Huan Yi Zengdi, right? ”

The girl Su Hui nodded shyly, thinking: "It turns out that Chen Yuanjun is really playing the flute, but unfortunately it is far away, and I can't really hear it, because I asked: "Can the eldest brother often hear Chen Yuanjun playing the flute?"

Su Qi said: "I have heard it a few times, Chen Yuanjun rarely plays, after all, the trip to Chang'an and Yecheng is not an elegant trip. ”

Su Hui begged his brother to talk about what he had seen and heard on his journey to the north, and Su Kai talked about the past all the way, mainly about how Chen Caozhi was, such as learning to fight Confucianism in Chang'an, and playing against Murong Chui outside Luoyang City.

Whenever Chen Caozhi's name was mentioned, the girl Su Hui's bright eyes were extraordinarily bright, and she was fascinated by it

When Su Qi saw his sister like this, he wanted to tell him about the matter that he had just discussed with his father, but he still held back and said about Chen Caozhi and Princess Qingle, of course, Su Cheng didn't know Chen Caozhi's secret in Jinfengtai. Therefore, on the last day, Princess Qinghe's sister and brother blocked the road and talked to Chen Caozhi in detail

The girl Su Hui was extremely curious, and she didn't know what Chen Caozhi said to the Xianbei princess, so she let that. The fierce Xianbei princess obediently gave way?

For Su Hui, who is smart and quiet. Princess Qinghe Murong Qinchen dared to block the road and ask Chen Caozhi why he didn't marry her, which was really shocking, and it was not an exaggeration to call it fierce.

Su Xiang smiled: "I don't know, why don't you go and ask Chen Yuanjun in person?" ”

Su Zhu blushed with shame, and said angrily: "What kind of foolish words did Brother say." He also said: "Brother has traveled hard, let's rest early, and I went back to the embroidery pavilion with the little maid Qinghu."

Early the next morning, Chen Caozhi wanted to say goodbye to Su Daozhi and return to Jiangdong, Su Daozhi struggled to stay, and it was difficult to be warm, Chen Caozhi had to live in Sujiabao for another day, and the weather was good, accompanied by Su Zhu, Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng, Shen Chiqian played on horseback in the Pingchou wilderness of Pingyu, and Huang Xiaotong also took the two male and female white falcons to Wubao to fly one

These two underage white falcons were gifts from Murong Ke to Chen Caozhi, and they traveled all the way. They are all fed by Huang Xiaotong, and Huang Xiaotong likes these two white falcons very much. Now it's ready to fly and whistle to retract.

This pair of male and female falcons are nearly two feet long and about 50 centimeters long, with a wingspan of more than five feet. With a sharp beak and sharp claws, Chen Caozhi is suspicious that this is the sea holly produced in Liaodong in later generations.

Sea holly is known as the "God of Ten Thousand Eagles." "It is the best of the falcon class, and it is extremely brave, even if the giant eagle is several times larger than it, it can only flee when it sees the sea holly. For hunting, invincible. Sea holly has become extinct in later generations, Chen Caozhi has never seen this kind of bird of prey, only knows that sea holly has pure coat color and white is the best quality. And the pair of white falcons sent by Murong Ke are snow-white, the sharp claws are like fine silver, and the hunters in Sujiabao also have a few falcons, when they see this pair of white falcons, they all fight like sisters, and they don't dare to fly away.

Sea holly is extremely difficult to catch, extremely domesticated, but Huang Xiaotong has mastered the habits of this pair of male and female white falcons, Huang Tong likes to play with birds when he was in Qiantang Chenjiawu, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today. He didn't dare to release the two falcons at the same time. Worried that they will not come back when their wings fly, he only puts one, and the other is locked with a trip, so take turns to fly Chen Caozhi watched the snow-white winged falcon turn and fly in the air, the degree is extremely fast, and it is extremely flexible, I can't help but think of a famous martial arts in later generations, where there is a pair of white eagles that can fly people, if this pair of white falcons is several times larger. Then he can also fly back to Jiankang in one day by the white falcon. landed on the bank of Hengtang, which surprised Wei Rui

Chen Caozhi smiled, shook his head, got rid of the nonsensical whimsy, but said in his heart: "Wei Rui." I am back. ”
