Chapter 6: The Shrewd Chen Gui Father and Son
The driver hurriedly got up from the ground, got up and ran towards the car. Tao Ying grabbed the whip beside him angrily and jumped off the carriage, Tao Ying hated this kind of bullying and afraid of hard dogs the most in his life, not to mention that the coachman was still an old man, these family members were such beasts, how could Tao Ying endure it?
A gust of wind seemed to rush over, and as soon as he ran to the side of a few people, the coachman saw the menacing Tao Ying and knelt on the ground with a frightened puff and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life!" ”
The coachman kowtowed a few times in a row, but he didn't want to scream in pain like a pig after the whip sounded!
Maybe he was in a hurry, Tao Ying kept interrupting the horse whip in his hand before stopping, thinking about what he had crossed over to do with this group of people, Tao Ying was angry.
Throwing the broken horsewhip in his hand on a family member, Tao Ying pointed to a group of family members and shouted: "You group of ** who have lost their conscience, there will be no slaves like you in my Tao family in the future, you all give me as far away as possible, if you dare to do such a thing in Xuzhou again, don't blame me Tao Ying will not allow you!" ”
Seeing that Tao Ying suddenly changed into a person, the family was a little afraid, Tao Ying didn't care about them, got up and helped the coachman up and walked towards the carriage.
The carriage galloped down the deserted street, the brick-paved ground was a little uneven, and the bumpy carriage swayed in all directions. I don't know if I was blinded by the splashed dust or why, the coachman wiped his eyes that seemed to be a little moist and whispered into the carriage: "Master, this carriage is too fast, it will break the body, let's slow down!" ”
The carriage also had no shock absorption measures, and it was true that Tao Ying's stomach was churning. But Tao Ying wants to see Chen Deng soon, if his guess is right, now it is Chen Deng who can help him talk to his father Tao Qian, and now what he has to do is to quickly ask Chen Deng to persuade his father Tao Qian to stick to Xiapi and not fight the defense of Tan County.
Tao Qian didn't seem to believe it, but I have to say that Cao Cao was very strong, and there was only defeat in this battle, and there was absolutely no reason for victory. Even if the three brothers of Liu Bei have the courage of the three armies, how can Cao Ren, Yu Ban and the Xiahou brothers be easy to bully?
The carriage passed through a narrow alley, and soon stopped next to an inn, the coachman got off the car and Xiao Er had already come over to pull the carriage to the backyard, Tao Ying looked at the inn in front of him, there was a four-story small building in front of the inn, but there were few guests, and the whole street was cold and gentle.
There was a willow tree in front of the inn, but only the delicate branches of the willow tree were still swaying in the wind.
I heard that Cao Cao sent a lot of spies to Xiapi City, Tao Qian had closed the city gates, and the entire Xiapi City was curfew. Seeing Tao Ying coming at the door, Xiao Er hurriedly came over and said, "Tao Gongzi comes with me, my son-in-law has been waiting in the private room on the second floor for a long time!" ”
After Xiao Er finished speaking, the little guy next to Tao Ying slapped him over and shouted: "Blind your dog eyes, what is the identity of my son-in-law, quickly ask Chen Deng to come out to greet him in person!" ”
The little second took a slap, covered his mouth with one hand for a long time, and the little guy wanted to beat him, Tao Ying stretched out his hand to stop the little guy. The little guy next to him said unwillingly: "Childe, what kind of identity do we have, he is a small official as big as a sesame seed, and he has put up a shelf." It must be that he is afraid that his friendship with his son will be seen by the master, which will affect him as an official, and this kind of person is not worthy of befriending our son! ”
Tao Ying gritted his teeth and said for a while: "Trouble the little brother to lead the way!" After speaking, Xiao Er hurriedly shouted and walked inside, Tao Ying raised his head and looked at the somewhat magnificent inn, which said Laifu Inn, the name was a little old-fashioned, but he knew that this inn was the property of the Chen family, and it was one of the few big inns in Xiapi City.
Walking into the inn, there are a lot of people in the inn, it seems that it is noon, although it is forbidden to walk around on the street, but there are obviously many people living here, the table on the first floor is already full, everyone is just eating quietly, no one dares to speak loudly.
There were still two soldiers standing at the door of the inn, and a person who looked like a butler came over to salute Tao Ying, as if Tao Ying was a frequent visitor here.
Xiao Er led Tao Ying all the way up to the second floor, and in the innermost room on the second floor, there was a bamboo character written on the door number of the room. The bamboo character symbolizes a gentleman, but Chen Deng sat in the room and waited for him, timid, and seemed to be quite ungentlemanly, which slightly made Tao Yingxin uncomfortable.
Pushing open the carved wooden door, Chen Deng had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he walked into the house, Tao Ying was a little puzzled that there was still a person in the room, a little old, but he seemed to be quite energetic.
The man was dressed as a gentleman, presumably from a family, and sure enough, when Tao Ying walked in, the man was not busy giving gifts, but raised his head and looked away.
Chen Deng hurriedly began to introduce: "Master Tao, let me introduce you, this is my father!" As soon as he heard that the person in front of him turned out to be Chen Deng's father, a name suddenly popped up in Tao Ying's mind - Chen Gui!
Sure enough, the two people in Xuzhou gathered together!
The representative of the Chen family, a family that has always influenced Xuzhou, is this Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son!
I don't know anything else, Tao Ying knows the power of the two of them in Xuzhou, when Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, the two of them were able to work together to drive Liu Bei out, it can be seen that their resourcefulness is still outstanding, sometimes it is not enough to have resourcefulness alone, and you must have money and power, but these two Xuzhou natives just took advantage of the right time, place and people!
After Chen Deng's introduction, Tao Ying hurriedly stepped forward to give Chen Gui a salute, which really surprised Chen Gui. People say that Tao Ying, the son of the Tao family, is dissolute and very stubborn, and the person in front of him seems to be a person, which is unbelievable.
After all, Chen Gui is a person who has seen the market, and he hurriedly returned the courtesy. They are natives of Xuzhou, and Tao Qian is just an outsider to Xuzhou. However, Tao Qian is a wise assassin, under his governance, the common people are living very well, and there is a Yellow Turban Rebellion everywhere, except for Xuzhou.
Therefore, the grain depots of the people of Xuzhou are full, so this also attracted the concern of Cao Cao.
The three of them sat down around the table, Xiao Er was busy serving the food, and Chen Deng first raised a glass to punish himself, because he didn't go downstairs to pick up Tao Ying. Tao Ying just laughed, seeing that Tao Ying suddenly had so many changes, after a few glasses of wine, Chen Deng couldn't help but ask: "Tao Gongzi's temperament has changed greatly today, which is impressive, I don't know what happened to Tao Gongzi, can I say it and listen to it?" ”
After Chen Deng finished speaking, Tao Ying took a sip of wine from his wine glass, and thought for a while, if he directly told them that he was from a time crossing, would he be regarded as a psychopath by Chen Deng?
