Chapter 10: Saving the Great Confucian Cai Yong (Part II)
Lu Lingqi's words made Cai Yan's delicate and slender neck turn into a blood-red face like the same face.
Qin Xu's face was also slightly red. The two lives before and after have lived a happy life for forty years combined, and it is the first time that an eleven-year-old girl has questioned the character of Master Qin with contempt. What's even more infuriating is that he can't think of any reason to explain it, Qin Xu feels a little internally hurt.
"I'll go and see the soldiers assigned to me by General Lu first." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, Lu Lingqi was like a little hen protecting her cubs, full of fighting spirit to "protect" Cai Yan behind her, which made Qin Xu deeply understand this girl's combat effectiveness, can't we hide if we can't be provoked?
I don't know how Cai Yan will train Lu Lingqi, who has a strong mind, Qin Xu found the warehouse between the front and back yards according to the memory of when he came.
A few hours ago, outside the "old place" wine room, there were a bunch of old people.
The ten trapped camp soldiers who Lu Bu transferred to Qin Xu's command temporarily waited in line like javelins. Qin Xu couldn't help but smile dumbly when he saw it, Lao Xu and Sima Mao were in the list, and their feelings were all acquaintances.
Six of the ten people were seen by Qin Xu when he first came to this era, and at that time, except for Lao Xu, they were all bold, and they were scurrying around with the ignorant but delusional Qin master who was delusional to enter the camp and steal wine and drink, which led to Qin Xu's crossing. Later, Sima Mao patted his chest in front of his brothers and said that he would help Qin Xu say a few good words in front of Gao Shun because Qin Xu blocked the disaster for him, but he didn't expect that Feng Shui took turns, and Qin Xu became their top boss in the blink of an eye.
However, Qin Xu really wanted to thank Sima Mao. To be able to find these familiar soldiers in the trap camp, Sima Mao must have thought about it. Otherwise, with the self-esteem of the soldiers in the camp, the battlefield is their paradise, and there is no need to follow a half-grown child to fool around.
"Ahem!" Qin Xu was a little uncomfortable by the strange eyes of these ten veterans of a hundred battles, coughed lightly, and said, "All of you big brothers are also acquaintances. I won't say much. There are a lot of troops in Xiliang in Chang'an City, and General Lu handed over his family to us, and I don't say much about the meaning, Lao Xu Sima stayed, and the others performed their duties. ”
"Lao Xu, dead cat, can you do me a favor!" The eight of them left, and Qin Xu said to Lao Xu and Sima Mao straight to the point. If it is Ping, Qin Xu will definitely not open his mouth without figuring out the relationship between Qin Xu and Lao Xu before. In particular, there is a Sima Mao who can't figure out the details.
The reason why Qin Xu asked these two people for help was that there was really no one available, and secondly, because Qin Xu knew very well that Lu Bu was gone, and when he returned to Chang'an City, even if one of the two reported to Lu Bu, it was estimated that Lu Bu would have no time to care about these things at that time. Besides, Lu Bu can leave Cai Yan in the mansion, which also indirectly shows that Lu Bu is very likely to remain neutral.
As for Wang Yun, it was not in Qin Xu's consideration at all, when Li Dao and Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, it was not known whether Wang Yun could live, even if he did.
"Whoa!" Lao Xu and Sima Mao glanced at each other, and there was no objection, and they all replied in a low voice, without even asking Qin Xu what was the matter, which shows the strictness of the military discipline in the camp.
At this time, it was already late at night, and the news of Li Dao Guo Yan's invasion of Chang'an had not yet spread on a large scale, but the slaughter of the night wind in Chang'an City had already brought a bit of slaughter to this ancient city.
For Lu Lingqi accompanying Qin Xu and Cai Yan and his party, Lao Xu was not abnormal, but Sima Mao's eyes were a little more fiery when he looked at Qin Xu. However, Qin Xu's mind was completely on Cai Yong, who he was about to meet, and he didn't notice Sima Mao's strange appearance at all.
Lao Xu was very familiar with the terrain in Chang'an City, and after a while, he took Qin Xu and Sima Mao together with Cai Yan and Lu Lingqi to the Xiyuan Longxiang Guard military camp where the edict prison was located.
"The barracks are heavy, come and stop!"
Long Xiangwei of Chang'an City was also a strong team under Dong Zhuo. It's a pity that with Dong Zhuo being killed, the dragons were leaderless and were absorbed by the imperial court. was handed over by Wang Yun to the commander of Sili Huang Wan, and was reduced from the original royal forbidden army to a jailer.
Wang Yun's original intention was to let Huang Wan use these nearly 30,000 troops to achieve the goal of balancing Lu Bu, but unfortunately Huang Wan was born in a wealthy family, and he may be able to shoot arrows, but he really can't compare with Lu Bu when he picks up his prestige in the army. But Long Xiangwei is fortunate that he still has some use in Wang Yun's eyes, so there is no shortage of grain, grass, military horses, and he is also well-trained.
Today, when the soldiers on duty saw that Qin Xu and others were here late at night, they quickly informed the other generals to arrange a defensive formation and block Qin Xu and the others from the gate.
"On the orders of General Fenwu Lu Wenhou, I came here on business, and all the idle people and others avoided it!" Qin Xu often participated in business negotiations in his previous life, and knew that the way to win people was the only way to occupy a favorable form in negotiations. Although Qin Xu had never led soldiers, he could not weaken his aura at this time, and shouted at the moment.
The sergeant on duty at night was just an ordinary soldier in the Long Xiang guard, and he couldn't see Qin Xu's lust and inwardness, seeing that Qin Xu was quite powerful, he didn't dare to specialize, but he didn't dare to let people enter at will, so he had to bow down and salute, ask Qin Xu and the others to wait, and order someone to invite the general on duty at night.
"I don't know which general under the command of Marquis Lu Wen was demoted, and the lowly Longxiang Wei Zhonglang General Mo Zhi (recommended by Brother Ximen), General Lao has been waiting for a long time." A strong man dressed as a short and fat general in iron armor, led seven or eight personal soldiers out of the gate of the Xiyuan camp, and saw Qin Xu's slightly immature face under the firelight, Mo Zhi said with some hesitation.
"I am a subordinate officer, and I have been ordered to come to see a key criminal. Please lead the way, the general. Qin Xu knew that his age was the biggest flaw, but there was no other good way for a while, so he said lightly with a straight face.
"This ...... Does the general have a warrant from General Lu? Or Wang Situ's Wenza? Mo Zhi looked at the few people behind Qin Xu out of the corner of his eyes, and said with a look of embarrassment: "General, don't misunderstand, this is since Mrs. Dong ...... No, no, after Dong Zhuo was executed, Wang Situ ordered that all prisoners here who wanted to be interrogated needed Wang Situ's Wenzha. Lord Lu is Wang Situ's beloved son-in-law, and it is naturally okay to have his warrant, this ......"
"You person, why are you so grinding and chirping, do you still suspect that I can't wait for the fake military order?" Lu Lingqi was arranged by Cai Yan behind Qin Xu, and she was not seen by Mo Zhi just now, but at this time, she heard Mo Zhi's prevarication, and seemed to be hindering the rescue of Cai Yan, and said impatiently at the moment.
"Miss Lu!? The last general didn't know that it was Miss Lu who was there, and the crime deserved death! Sin deserves death! With Miss Lu here, she can naturally represent General Lu, and the last general will be rude, quickly, open the camp gate! A few please. "Lu Bu was Dong Zhuoyi's son before, plus he was brave and unparalleled, and he had a very high prestige in the Xiliang Army. When Lu Lingqi wanted to come with the two of them before, Qin Xu didn't stop him, but he didn't want Lu Lingqi to become the key to everyone's entry into the camp at this moment, and even brought Mo Zhi to Qin Xu and the others a lot warmer.
Although Chang'an City is not as good as Luoyang, it is also one of the capitals of the Han Dynasty, the edict prison is extremely solid, the thick bluestone wall is more than one meter thick, and the inexplicable strange sound that comes from time to time makes this place look very gloomy. Long Xiangwei also deliberately curryed favor with Wang Yun after Dong Zhuo's death, and even guarded the sky like an iron pass, and Cai Yan was stunned for a while.
After all, Cai Yong is a well-known Confucian in China, and Wang Yun did not dare to let Cai Yong lose his surname easily. The cell where Cai Yong was held was also deliberately cleaned.
When Qin Xu and the others came to Cai Yong's cell, they saw an old man with a bright head and a gray hair writing something on the low stone desk, except for a simple bed, a dim oil lamp, and a thick stack of manuscripts.
Mo Zhi flatteringly took the jailer's key, blasted the jailer aside, and personally bent down to open the heavy wooden door of the cell.
Cai Yan saw the old man through the stone window, and he was a little out of shape at that time. His pale face twitched slightly, his lips were bitten by the white teeth without a trace of blood, and his smart eyes were full of mist. Qin Xu didn't care about the defense of men and women at this time, and in Lu Lingqi's murderous gaze, he grabbed Cai Yan's jade hand and glanced at Mo Zhi's back who was opening the door.
After all, Cai Yan has experienced a lot of things, and he held back his emotions at the moment, but he didn't pull his hand out, but held Qin Xu's hands tightly, and his knuckles were a little white.
"A few generals, this is Lord Cai's enclosure." Mo Zhi noticed that Qin Xu seemed to be the leader of this group, and even Lu Lingqi was standing behind Qin Xu, although he didn't know Qin Xu's identity, he was also careful everywhere.
"Thank you General Mo, we will definitely tell Lord Lu the truth about Lord Mo's help, you see......" Qin Xu nodded disapprovingly, signaling that Mo Zhi could leave.
"This ......" Mo Zhi is the chief official here after all, and who doesn't know the contradiction between Cai Yong and Wang Yun in the entire Chang'an City? Although Lu Lingqi was also there, after all, he didn't see Lu Bu's warrant, and Mo Zhi didn't dare to let Cai Yong out of sight easily.
"General Mo! Self-respecting future! Si Lao Xu, who had not spoken since Qin Xu's order, suddenly stood in front of Mo Zhi, blocked Mo Zhi's sight, reached out and took out a token from his arms, and shook it in front of Mo Zhi's eyes.
"Trapped?" Mo Zhi smashed his lips, and saw that Sima Mao on the side also took out the same iron card, and immediately understood that it seemed that his plan here would not work. As the trump card in Lu Bu's army, the trapping camp often represents Lu Bu's army on many occasions, and their prestige is built with countless white bones. It was already synonymous with taboo in the Xiliang Army before, and Mo Zhi didn't dare to guarantee that if he really annoyed these two, he would lose his head.
"General, please! The last will be at the door. Seeing that these two evil gods were just standing behind this young man with a young face with a young face, Mo Zhi became more and more unable to understand Qin Xu's identity, but now that Grandma Long Xiangwei didn't love her uncle or uncle, Mo Zhi still wisely chose not to touch his head.
"Daddy!"
"Yan'er?"
Cai Yan's heart-wrenching whisper made the old man who had not been disturbed when Mo Zhi opened the door just now raise his head suddenly, and looked at Cai Yan in disbelief.
"But Lord Cai?" Seeing the speechless appearance of Cai's father and daughter, Qin Xu didn't want to disturb them, but he also had to interrupt the warmth of their meeting.
"These must be Yan'er's friends? Old man Cai Yong, Cai Bojiao! Cai Yong deserves to be a well-known Confucian at home, and he groaned a little and reported his identity.
"Daddy, don't say more, let's go now, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it in a safe place." Seeing that Cai Yong was still personable at this time, he was practicing Confucian etiquette and introducing himself...... Cai Yan's face was anxious. Tugging Cai Yong's sleeve and said.
"But Wang Situ ordered you to come and pick up the old man out?" Cai Yong asked with a happy face.
"Daddy, don't ask, we're ......"
"Don't you ....... No, no, no, I, Cai Bojiao, look up to heaven and earth, and never act with a bad heart, how can I do such a thing. ”
"What a stubborn old man!" Qin Xu shook his head and said secretly in his heart. Seeing that Cai Yan, who had always been calm and wise, was about to cry, Cai Yong still refused to get out of prison.
"Wang Situ won't let you out." Qin Xu was helpless, there was Jia Xu in the Xiliang Army outside Chang'an City, and Lu Bu couldn't get cheap on this trip, so he had to use a killer weapon.
"Kid is ignorant!" Although Cai Yong was imprisoned by Wang Yun, he didn't seem to have recognized the true face of the old king, and he couldn't allow Qin Xu to "slander" Wang Yun.
"Not necessarily!" Qin Xu sneered.
