There is no uniform theory about Cai Wenji's birth in history, and the older the history, the more chaotic the birth of the characters becomes. Some history books record that Cai Wenji was born around 178 AD, but some say that Cai Wenji lived after 162 AD, and is not a historian and cannot be verified.

But since I'm writing this novel, of course, I chose the record that best matches this work.

So I hung on the fact that Cai Wenji was born after 162 AD, which is about two to three years older than Dong Li, that is, between 166-168 AD.

That's the answer below, and if you're not satisfied, there's nothing you can do about it.

There is another sentence, if you have questions or suggestions, I would be happy to listen to them. But if it is unreasonable in the book review area, there is only one attitude below, and that is to ignore it. Whether the following works are good or bad, whether there can be today's results, is not one or two of you who have the final say, but everyone has the final say. It's still the same sentence, I don't like to read it, you leave, and I don't cry and beg you to watch and read. It's as simple as that, and I won't comment on it again.

——————————————————

On the third day after Gu Yong left, that is, the seventh day when Dong Li came to Yucheng.

According to the agreement between Dong Li and Liu Wang earlier, he will bring Dian Wei to Yucheng to meet him in the next two days.

Speaking from the heart, Dong Li misses Liu Wang a little!

On the one hand, he longed to see Dian Wei as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he really couldn't stand the boring life in this city.

Cai Yong is busy entertaining those celebrities, going out early and returning late every day, and rarely has time at home.

Not to mention mentioning Dong Li's knowledge, sometimes at the end of the day, he may not be able to say a few words. And that "Historical Records", Dong Li was about to vomit blood when he read it. In the past, when he studied, he always asked others to read to him. It seems that the Fubo Art of War is first read by Cheng Fang, and then recited by Lu Yi. Wait until you have understood an outline before you look at it yourself.

This helped him to remember and understand, and Dong Yan later understood why Su Qin was able to read a Guiguzi for many years. The Chinese language is broad and profound, and the characters contained in the book are only a few thousand words. How to use the least language to contain the most meanings, the ancients would repeatedly scrutinize when they wrote books, and even a single word would take many years.

This also forms the unique meaning of ancient Chinese.

One word has multiple meanings. If you don't listen, memorize, read, and understand repeatedly, you won't be able to figure it out.

Fubo's art of war is better, mainly to describe Ma Yuan's life with soldiers.

But the "Historical Records" ......

Dong Li felt that it was obviously too far to understand the breadth and profundity of "Historical Records" with his little ink. Huang Shao would sometimes explain to him, but his energy was mainly on the "Book of Shang", and he didn't have much time. Dong Li ran over to ask for advice once or twice, although Huang Shao was not annoyed, but Dong Li felt very embarrassed.

In the future, Huang Shao will become his main mastermind.

Now that he has the opportunity to learn more things, it is of great benefit to Dong Li, how can he always bother?

That's how the days are, spent in boredom.

Every day, in addition to practicing martial arts, it is to gnaw on the jerky "Historical Records", a day or two is fine, but after a long time, Dong Li is a little impatient.

It is precisely for this reason that Dong Li misses Liu Wang even more.

It was a person who could talk to him, at least in many ways, Dong Li felt that Liu Wang could understand what he meant.

Therefore, taking advantage of the convenience in his hands, Dong Yu asked the Cai family to clean the room and wait for Liu Wang's arrival.

******

Standing on the edge of the pond in Caifu, Dong Li unexpectedly found that he seemed to have grown again. Called Dong Tie, who was practicing ape play, over, Dong Li asked with a smile: "Xiao Tie, have you felt any changes in me?" ”

Dong Tie stared up and down, "Master, it's still the same!" ”

"The same old way?"

"Well, there's a little bit of a change...... Master, the pimples on your face seem to be a little more than the previous two days. ”

The pimple, the pimple that Dong Li said. This was not the answer he wanted, and his slender eyes narrowed, "Don't you think, I seem to have grown taller again?" ”

In his previous life, Dong Yan only grew to 170 cm when he was twenty years old. But now, eight feet tall, it's almost close to 180 centimeters. Now that he has grown again, his heart is happy and sad.

This is less than fourteen, and when you become an adult, what will you look like?

Dong Tie exclaimed and said happily: "Master, if you don't say it, Xiao Tie really didn't pay attention." You've grown taller again. Xiao Tie remembers that when he left home, Xiao Tie reached your chin, and now it is a head taller than Xiao Tie. ”

It's definitely over 180!

Dong Yan straightened his waist and said in his heart: This is almost nine feet...... God, isn't this playing with me again?

"Xiao Tie, what day is today?"

"The eighth day of October!"

"Then Ma Song should have arrived in Hedong."

Dong Tie pinched his fingers and calculated, "Almost, according to Ma Song's footsteps, that is, he arrived in Hedong in these two days." Maybe I've met the old master now. By the way, master, you asked Ma Song to see General Hua, is there anything wrong? ”

Don't look at Dong Yan and Dong Tie on weekdays, but when it comes to business, there is no ambiguity at all.

The ugly face is boarded, and it looks particularly scary. He said gloomily: "Xiao Tie, what you should know will naturally let you know, and what you shouldn't know, you'd better not ask." Sometimes, knowing too many things is not good. ”

Since following Dong Li, Dong Tie had never seen Dong Li speak in such a tone.

Trembling, a cold sweat broke out on Dong Tie's head, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Master, it's Xiao Tie who is wrong, Xiao Tie shouldn't ask." ”

Dong Li didn't pursue further, patted Dong Tie's shoulder, and walked towards the empty courtyard.

It was his temporary martial arts arena, turning over and getting on his horse, and his hammers flew up and down. The thirty-six road chief hated the hammer in one go, and his spirit was extraordinarily strong.

Dong Tie stood next to the martial arts arena, looking at Dong Yan who was practicing martial arts, with a look of envy on his face.

If I can have the strength of the master, I will definitely be able to help the master do more things in the future...... Alas, it's a pity!

And so the days passed.

On the fifteenth day, Dong Li couldn't sit still.

Liu Wang should have come to Yucheng to meet him a long time ago, why is there no news at all? No matter how bad it is, should you send someone to say it? Looking at Liu Wang's actions, he is not a person who does not know the number of etiquette. No matter how busy you are at home, you shouldn't even have no news. Could it be that something happened to Liu Wang's family? But what can happen?

There seemed to be a fire in his heart, and Dong Li was restless for three or four days.

By the twentieth day, Liu Wang still had no news. Dong Li couldn't help it, and one night, he waited for Cai Yong.

"Ugly, haven't rested yet?"

Cai Yong walked into the study with a slightly drunken meaning, and when he saw Dong Li, he couldn't help but be stunned. has been with Ugly for a long time, and Cai Yong also admires this child. At least sometimes Dong Li will say some wonderful words, which are worth remembering for a long time. Moreover, he has a good understanding, which is much more than that of his peers.

originally had a plan, and when these entertainments in front of me were over, I would teach Dong Yan well.

It is also a great thing in life to be given good talents. Cai Yong had already made up his mind and was going to talk to Dong Li about it in two days. didn't expect that Dong Li would take the initiative to come to him, which made Cai Yong feel a little strange.

Dong Li pondered for a moment and said softly: "Sir, do you remember Brother Liu Wang?" ”

"Liu Wang? Do you mean that Liu Wang, who has been my person? How could I not remember him. If you don't mention it, I'm about to ask you, didn't your eldest brother Liu Wang say that he was coming to Yucheng? Why hasn't there been any news yet? Alas, pawn peddlers, all the same. ”

Between the words, he still has some contempt for Liu Wang's profession.

Dong Li's mouth opened, wanting to justify. But I didn't know what to say, so I was silent for a while.

When Cai Yong saw it, he couldn't help laughing, "Ugly, when I say this, I don't look down on him." Liu Wangxian's nephew and I haven't been together for a long time, and the conversation has won my heart. It's just that he doesn't devote himself to learning, but he does the profit-seeking thing of the peddler's pawn...... I hope that one day he will be able to devote himself to his studies, and if he succeeds, he will be able to achieve the same thing. ”

In fact, it's not just Cai Yong, in this era, people have contempt for businessmen.

Even the Dong family was engaged in businessmen back then. But later, I still have to do my best to erase the traces of the businessman.

Therefore, although the merchant has money, he has no status.

When I ask for your money, I will naturally help you. If I don't want anything from you, I'll kill you at any time.

Dong Yan has the memory of his previous life, and his feelings about businessmen are neither good nor bad. After all, the mountain village is closed, and the people in the village have relied on the mountains for generations, and the contact with the merchants is not too much. That is, when he was in junior high school in the county seat, he had contact with some businessmen. Of course, this contact is only limited to him buying things.

"Sir, I also feel strange these two days. Brother Liu Wang is not a person who does not believe in his words, but he has not heard from him for a long time. I'm worried about if something has happened to him, so I want to ask you to take your leave and go to me to see if he needs help. ”

"You're leaving?"

Cai Yong's wine was completely dissipated, with a little reluctance.

After all, there are no children under his knees, and his beloved daughter has been married, and the Cai Mansion of Nuoda is often deserted. For Cai Yong, who is already old, the more people in the family, can also relieve a lot of loneliness.

As for the communication with those celebrities and gentlemen, it is also a helpless move.

Cai Yong doesn't like the wind and snow all day long, so he can't help but feel very uncomfortable when he hears Dong Li say this.

Dong Li observed his words, although he didn't know why, but he could also see that Cai Yong was a little reluctant to leave.

Hurriedly said: "Sir, don't worry, I'm gone, if Brother Liu Wang is fine, I will come back and listen to Mr.'s teachings." Perhaps, I will come to visit Mr. with Brother Liu Wang at that time, and I hope that Mr. will accept him at that time. ”

Cai Yong smiled, shook his head and said, "Old, old...... Anyway, you can go to Jiwu for a trip, which can be regarded as a complete brother's affection. If Liu Wang is willing to come, bring him with him; If he doesn't want to, don't be too reluctant. ”

Dong Li intervened and said, "Please keep in mind Mr.'s words!" ”

******

Early the next morning, Dong Li left Yucheng with Dong Tie and twenty personal guards.

Huang Shao and the remaining thirty retinues stayed in Cai's Mansion, on the one hand, because Huang Shao wanted to study, and on the other hand, the thirty entourages could also protect the safety of Cai's Mansion. Although Yucheng is Cai Yong's territory, Dong Cheng is still not at ease.

Who knows, will those Yellow Turban thieves make a comeback?

The distance between Yucheng and Jiwu is not too far, and it is only two or three days away.

Dong Li and his entourage did not stop, leaving Yuancheng before the sun came out, and saw the town of Jiwu at night.

Under the rule of Suiyang County, the population is not large, only two or three thousand people in total.

The town was not very well defended, with low earthen walls...... Dong Li thought that he could jump over the wall with one jump.

At the gate of the town, there were several townsmen guarding it.

When Dong Li and the others arrived in Jiwu Town, it was the middle of the night.

Xiang Yong was awakened by Dong Li in a daze, and was naturally very unhappy. However, seeing that Dong Li and his party were all tall horses, with bright armor and excellent weapons, the trace of dissatisfaction disappeared immediately, and they were very sloppy and inspected, and let Dong Li and others enter the town.

Dong Li suddenly reined in his horse and asked, "Excuse me, is there a person named Liu Wang in this town?" ”

Na Xiang Yong was stunned, looked at Dong Yan vigilantly, and his expression looked very hesitant. Seeing that there were no others around, a leader-like Xiang Yong stepped forward and asked softly, "Do you dare to ask who Your Excellency is Liu Wang?" ”

"Oh, Liu Wang and I met on the road, and I passed by me and wanted to visit him."

The leader said: "Liu Wangjia, after entering the town, walk along the street, and turn left at the third gate at the end." There is a big tree at the door...... However, I still advise you that if you don't have a lifelong friendship with Liu Wang, it's better not to go. ”

Dong Li's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I ...... See for yourself! ”

The leader refused to say that Dong Yan was not good at using force here. He thanked him at the moment, and took Dong Tie and others to urge the horse into the town. There was silence in the middle of the night, and the horses' hooves rattled on the gravel streets.

The town was quiet and there was not a single person in sight.

Dong Li motioned for Dong Tie to lead the horse over, took off the sledgehammer from the other horse, and hung it on the horse's back.

The group walked along the street to the end, turned left and stopped at the third gate. In front of the door, there was a towering ancient tree, like an umbrella cover, covering the sky above the house, shrouding most of the house in shadow.

Dong Yan hesitated, jumped off the horse and strode up the steps, grabbed the knocker on the door, and knocked Bang Bang Bang three times.

There was no sound behind the door, and Dong Li had a hint of ominous omen.

The probe pushed the door, but it turned out to be a void. A bloody breath came out of the door, causing Dong Li's hairs to stand on end immediately.

As soon as one foot stepped into the threshold, he suddenly heard a childish voice: "Bad guy, take your life!" ”

A halberd flew out from the branches above the courtyard, very fast, with a whining sound. Dong Li stepped sideways and flashed, and the halberd bell hit the ground with a bang, splashing first-class sparks. Immediately after, a person jumped down from the tree, with a bright and sparkling big knife in both hands, seeing that the weight was about a dozen catties, and slashed towards Dong Lihu's knife.

Dong Li couldn't help but be stunned!
