"I really don't remember. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's okay if you don't remember, but it's better if you don't remember."
Cheng Yu peeled a melon seed, and discussed with Yang Yun about the people who saved Dian Wei at that time, and then the topic changed, and he said, "By the way, Qiming, what are your plans in the future?" ”
"What are your plans for the future?" Yang Yun was a little stunned.
Cheng Yu smiled, threw the melon seed shell in his hand on the table, and looked directly into Yang Yun's eyes: "Qiming, just like you said, now that the situation of the division of the heroes has been decided, and the emperor is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, don't you want to do something to support the Han family?" ”
It was the first time to hear Cheng Yu talk about this topic, and Yang Yun's eyes lit up: "I don't have any ideas for the time being, what about Mr.?" Are you ready to go out? ”
"Yes, I have had this idea recently, especially when I talk to Qiming about national affairs these days, people are old, and they should indeed do something for the Han family before they die."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu suddenly figured it out, Yang Yun was immediately overjoyed, he had been in contact with him for so many days, and he had long wanted to pull him into his small circle, but every time he knocked on the side, he was light-hearted, and it seemed that he only wanted to teach in Xue Mansion.
However, just when he wanted to put Peng Jiazhai on the table, Cheng Yu's next words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing his passion: "Yuan Benchu, 'the fourth world and three dukes', is now elected as the leader of the anti-Dong Alliance, I think this person will definitely be able to support the Han family." ”
"Sir, are there any other candidates?" Yang Yun's eyes were a little gloomy.
"Well, how about the North Sea Prime Minister Kong Wenju? There are few talents, and they have been praised by the celebrity Li Ying. Cheng Yu thought about it seriously, and then said the other candidates, "Changsha guards Sun Wentai, and Sun Wu is a descendant of Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period." ”
"Sir, can only be assisted by princes and generals?"
"This matter is natural, otherwise how to convince the public?"
"Then if I say, what if I want to ask my husband to assist me?"
"Assist you?" Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Qiming, now is not the time to laugh, we read the sage books for a lifetime, we can't learn from Peng Ziliang, go up the mountain and fall into the grass." ”
Listening to Cheng Yu's natural answer, Yang Yun was instantly disheartened, and he didn't want to mention the matter of Pengjiazhai again, but seeing his still hopeful gaze, he had to fight his spirit: "Sir, it's better to assist Cao Mengde." ”
"Cao Mengde? Captain of the West Garden? ”
Yang Yun nodded: "Not bad." ”
He also figured it out, after Liu Bei started the incident and claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, at least he had the conditions to recruit talented people. He is not surnamed Liu, nor does he have a reputation, let alone a prominent background, a celebrity like Cheng Yu who is full of wealth will naturally not choose him.
In this case, we simply let history return to the right path.
"After Cao Mengde is the Han Prime Minister Cao Shen, his father is Cao Song, and the official is the Tai Lieutenant, which should meet the requirements of Mr."
"But he doesn't seem to ......"
"Isn't it capable?" Yang Yun smiled, took a sip of cold tea, and continued, "Anyway, Mr. has been waiting for so many years, it is better to wait a little longer, and I will see that Cao Mengde will soon show his talents." ”
"Hehe, Qiming, have you long liked that Cao Mengde? Okay, I'll take a look again, if Cao Mengde is really as good as you say, I will go with Qiming. ”
Long after Cheng Yu left, Yang Yun was still sitting in front of the window, looking at the crowded streets, his thoughts were flying, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but in the end, all of them converged into a sigh.
The tea room is different from their previous thatched house, it is a three-story wooden structure building, the ground floor serves tea, the second floor is where Yang Yun and the Li family sisters and brothers live, and the more secret third floor has become a place for Yang Yun and Pengjiazhai to contact people, and also gave them a temporary foothold after coming to Dong'e.
At this moment, Yang Yun had just shown his head on the third floor, and Yan An came up to greet him, seeing that he was not interested, he asked with concern: "My lord, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Yang Yun waved his hand, found a chair and sat down, and sighed, "It's just that I was ruthlessly rejected." ”
"Is that the old man who had tea with the adults before?"
"What old man, people are only forty or fifty years old, and I don't see you call Zhao Yuanxi old man." Yang Yun glanced at him, "Mr. Zhongde will have great achievements in the future, unlike us, who is tinkering around, at most he is a copycat king." ”
"Hmph, this gentleman will definitely regret it in the future." Yan An slammed the table, "My lord, there have been more and more homeless people recently, the population in the village has reached nearly a thousand households, and the wolf guard has also expanded to nearly three hundred, is it temporarily stopping absorbing homeless people?" ”
"Well, large-scale absorption can be stopped for a while, and if there is a skill among the displaced people, they can still continue to absorb."
"Also, my lord, Lao Zhao asked me to bring you a message, he said that the equipment of the wolf guard consumes more iron than expected, and I am afraid that the supply of iron ore will not be available for a while."
"What's wrong with iron ore, didn't you say last time that there was a mine near Pengjiazhai?" Yang Yun rubbed his temples, if the supply of iron ore was insufficient, it would be a big trouble.
"Yes, the distance is quite close, but ......" Yan An gritted his teeth and told the truth, "The mine is on the other side of Dongping Lake, and every time the brothers dig the mine, they have to transport it back by boat, sometimes they encounter turbulent currents, and they also wait for half a day." ”
"Oh, that's simple, if the iron ore production over there is enough, you can build a mine over there, and then let Zhao Yuanxi make a cable car out...... It doesn't have to be that complicated, just be able to transport the goods back and forth by manpower. ”
Yang Yun touched his chin and thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, I know, I don't rush to do these things." The guy who was caught last time, did you say it? ”
"Ken said so." Yan An nodded and gave Yang Yun a thumbs up, "My lord, you are really amazing, that person was tortured by Yan Ping and Brother Guo for several days and refused to speak, but I didn't expect you to let Lao Zhao sit on a chair, that person said it all in less than half a day, and I couldn't wait to even peek at the sister-in-law next door taking a bath when I was a child." ”
"Don't mess around, who taught you this habit?" Yang Yun turned around and gave Yan An a chestnut on his head, he didn't make any effort, but it also hurt, "Believe it or not, I'll let you try the taste of the tiger chair?" ”
"No, sir...... It was taught by Yan Ping, and I will treat him well when I go back. ”
Yang Yun didn't believe his words, flattened his mouth, and went back to the topic: "Yellow turban thief? ”
"Yes, sir." Yan An nodded, "They belong to the Yu Poison Department of the Black Mountain Army. ”
"Black Mountain Army?" Yang Yun recalled for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Isn't the leader Zhang Feiyan?" ”
"According to that person, Yu Poison is the deputy commander of the Black Mountain Army, in charge of the branch of Chaoge, and there are more than 100,000 people, but most of them are farmers who have never held weapons, and the elite is about 3,000 people."
"These people who came this time, only the three people who were killed by the adults in the cell can be regarded as Yu Poison's henchmen, among them, the one who made the sword and the pig-killing knife is Yu Poison's disciple, the name is a little rough, I forgot, the others, including the person we captured, are just some people in the green forest who are attached to the poison."
Yang Yun didn't care who was who's disciple, anyway, for him, it was just a one-shot thing: "Who planned this matter?" ”
"The man didn't know, he said that the whole thing was a one-way connection between the man who made the sword, and no one else had seen it."
"What is their purpose?"
"I don't know, just let them stay outside the door, and no one will be killed."
"It's a nuisance." Yang Yun smoothed his brows and continued, "On the side of the homeless, have you arranged for someone to mix in?" ”
"Someone has been arranged." Yan An nodded, "Sure enough, as the adults expected, almost every day someone instigated the homeless people to make trouble, if it weren't for the porridge being given to the big families these days, it is estimated that there would have been a lot of trouble." ”
"It's not hard to guess...... Since they are going to do it in the near future, using the displaced people is the most effective means, and I am afraid that more and more displaced people have been secretly driven by them recently. The corners of Yang Yun's mouth curled up in an arc, "You ask the people inside to pay attention to safety, and try to find out how many people have blended into the homeless people." ”
"Yes, sir. That's right......"
Yan An suddenly thought of something, and said with a strange expression: "Recently, someone has inquired about your news in the village. ”
"Inquire about me?" Yang Yun blinked a little strangely, "I don't seem to have done anything, right?" ”
"I've checked, that person was sent by the Xue family, and it is said that the one who wants to check on you is the second young master, Xue Yi."
"It's him again!" Yang Yun frowned, and then said helplessly, "Don't pay attention to him, anyway, I don't go up the mountain these days, but I'm not afraid of being recognized by them." ”
At this time, Yang Yun was a little fortunate to be in this era when news was not circulating.
"You bring people and things in as soon as possible, I also bought the courtyard opposite the tea room, and the people and equipment that come there are stored there, and I will give you the key later."
"By the way, the scholar I said last time, I tied up both his husband and wife."
"Oh, how?"
"It's not bad, the man was full of words at first, and then after a full meal, he began to teach the children seriously."
"Oh...... It would be nice to have something to contribute. ”
After a few more words of advice to Yan An, Yang Yun paced back to the second floor, approached Li Manying's room, and heard Guo Yuan and Li Manying's discussion of female celebrity from inside, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.
