Chen Liu, Yu County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Bu and the three of them rode horses in this small county town.

Lu Bu wore a clean red robe, riding a handsome red rabbit horse under his crotch, Gao Shun wore a black brocade robe, Zhang Liao dressed most like a scholar, and tied a blue cloth belt to his bun, like a scholar.

The three of them strolled forward as if they were on an outing, and the people around them sat and bought and sold in the market dressed in coarse cloth, and from time to time they whispered to the passing customers about the price, and for some reason everyone had a calm and quiet on their faces, and even the clamor of the street did not make people feel noisy.

"Tsk, this place where cultural people live is really different." Gao Shun said admirably to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao gently lifted the reins, controlled the horses that were a little deviated, and wanted to endorse the mouth: "Cai Yong, the word Bo Jiao, Chen Liuyu is also a person." Eastern Han Dynasty writer and calligrapher. Erudite ......"

Lu Bu hurriedly interrupted Zhang Liao and talked about the purpose of their trip: "Dong Zhuo asked us to come just to persuade Cai Yong to become an official? ”

Zhang Liao nodded.

Lu Bu asked, "What are the chances of success?" ”

Zhang Liao rolled his eyes: "Anyway, in the history books, Dong Zhuo threatened him with the lives of Cai Yong's family. ”

Lu Bu: "......"

Gao Shun: "......"

Lu Bu was worried: "Isn't that very disagreeable!" ”

"Oops, it's fine!" Gao Shun said nonchalantly, "It's a big deal to learn from Dong Zhuo when the time comes, if he doesn't agree, we will kill his whole family." ”

"Knock Knock"

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao punched Gao Shun in the face.

In the distance, a house stood at the end of the path, and the river that had been brought in from the moat was passing through this house, and the other courtyards around it were not as well located in the city as this one, but this house was not as dazzling as the others, with no elaborate painted walls or expensive green tiles, probably because the owner of the house felt that he did not need those things to prove his extraordinary.

Lu Bu and the three stopped in front of the house, jumped off their horses, and tied their horses to the horse post in front of the gate, and at this time the greeter in front of the door happened to greet them.

"How many, but came to visit Cai's family?" The greeting guest is obviously also a person who knows how to be polite, and when he says it, his demeanor and tone make it impossible to find fault.

Zhang Liao stepped forward and rushed in front of the other two to greet the guest and replied: "Exactly, I am tired of reporting, and Zhang Wenyuan asks to see him." ”

When the greeter heard the name, his face hesitated, then he nodded and said, "Please wait a moment." ”

Waiting for the welcome guest to enter, Gao Shun clapped his hands: "It's broken!" That person must have heard our names and knew that we were Dong Zhuo's people, so he would definitely not let us in! ”

"Not necessarily," Lu Bu said, "Cai Yong resigned and returned to his hometown in order to protect his life, and at this time, he would not let people go in and anger Dong Zhuo." ”

Zhang Liao also nodded: "There should be no problem in going in, but you still have to be careful when you go in after a while, this is a big cultural person, don't let people drive us out, it will be embarrassing." ”

"What's wrong with the cultural people?" Gao Shun said, "I am proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry!" ”

Zhang Liao ridiculed: "You are knowledge, not culture." ”

When Gao Shun was about to reason with Zhang Liao, the previous guest came out.

"A few generals, my lord is invited."

Gao Shun shook his forehead: "My identity is exposed." ”

Lu Bu said calmly: "Let's go and have a look first." ”

The three of them followed the guests into Cai Yong's mansion, and the corridors, flowers, and trees along the way reflected the ingenuity of the owner of the courtyard.

Walking to the door of the hall, you can roughly see that the hall is full of calligraphy and paintings, and most of the decorations are musical instruments. At this time, not to mention Zhang Liao, who was originally cautious and respectful, even Gao Shun, who was giggling on weekdays, walked here with a quiet and steady face.

It may be that the reputation of the owner of the courtyard has too much influence on people, or it may be that the arrangement of this courtyard does have a magical power.

"Please enter by yourself, the lord is waiting for you in the hall."

The greeter brought the three to the door and stopped, motioning for them to enter.

Lu Bu thanked the guests and walked into the hall first, but when he saw a person in the hall, he was stunned in place.

"Fengxian, I didn't expect you to come too!" A voice said to Lu Bu in surprise.

At this time, Zhang Liao Gaoshun outside the door also walked in, and he was also shocked when he saw the person who spoke.

"Mengde? Why are you here? ”

Cao Cao looked at the three people who came in in surprise, and said with a smile: "Why can't I be here, now the official position of the commander of the army has become an idle position, and there is nothing to do in the city, how boring it is to stay in Luoyang all the time, of course I am visiting relatives and friends everywhere!" ”

Lu Bu asked hesitantly: "Visiting relatives and friends?" You and Cai ......"

At this time, Cai Yong was still sitting on the seat, listening to the conversation of several people, and smiled slightly: "It's a friend or a relative, Meng De is a friend of mine." ”

The three of them looked at Cai Yong at this time, and saw that Cai Yong was sitting on the seat, his white hair was simply combed into a bun, and the rest were allowed to be draped over his shoulders, and he was wearing an unusually loose robe.

"I've seen everyone Cai." Lu Bu and the three of them officially saluted Cai Yong.

Cai Yong waved his hand to signal that the three of them did not need to be polite.

Cao Cao smiled on the side: "Everyone Cai is a real merry person, don't care about these false courtesies, otherwise they wouldn't have a relationship with my kid." ”

Cai Yong smiled: "Three of you, please take a seat." ”

"Hey! Say it earlier! When Gao Shun heard this, he was immediately relieved, and sat down on the vacated seat with a big grin, returning to his usual appearance, "Since everyone Cai is so familiar with Meng De, why don't you go to Luoyang with us to take up a post, and everyone can meet often in the future, how about it?" Mengde, you also advise. ”

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were full of black lines, and they both regretted coming out with Gao Shun at this time.

Cai Yong smiled and said nothing.

Cao Cao also hurriedly opened his mouth to excuse himself, so as not to involve himself: "The so-called gentleman is harmonious but different, and the villain is the same but not harmonious, no matter how deep my friendship with Cai's family is, I can't force him to do anything, let alone be a scholar." ”

"Oh?" Lu Bu seemed to have grasped some point, "So, Cai, if you want to, then it's no problem?" ”

Cai Yong shook his head: "The old man is old, and a pair of veterans only have the strength to play the piano and pluck the strings, so they can still work for the officials, and then I am afraid that they will miss the major affairs of the family and the country, wouldn't it be a sin?" ”

The meaning of refusal in his words is already obvious, which makes Lu Buyi difficult, it is definitely not possible to force it, and it is impossible to make sense, Cao Cao can't help there, it is impossible to really lead the troops to come and tie people back, right?

Just when Lu Bu was in trouble, Zhang Liao suddenly stood up.

Everyone present looked at Zhang Liao who suddenly got up strangely, not knowing what he wanted to do.

I saw Zhang Liao walk to a wall, point to a painting hanging on the wall, and say to Cai Yong: "Cai, everyone clearly has the intention of being a leader, why bother to deceive me?" ”

Cai Yong saw that Zhang Liao was referring to a landscape map, and said with a smile: "What is this general called?" ”

Zhang Liao replied: "Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan." ”

Cai Yong smiled: "This painting is obviously just a picture of the scenery made by Xiao Lao'er on a whim a few days ago, and he sent the landscape to his heart. ”

Zhang Liao also smiled and said: "There are secluded mountains, rivers, and idle farmers in this painting, how can it be a picture of a far-reaching landscape painting, which makes people think that everyone is indulging in the meaning of the landscape, but in Liao's eyes, this full volume of brushstrokes, all the true feelings fall in the painting scroll in that place of the family, which is about the cut, there is also pity, it can be seen that everyone is still concerned about the livelihood of the people in the world, is it not the meaning of the office?" ”

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, but smiled, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a bright voice from the back hall.

"The general misunderstood, this painting is a clumsy work of a little woman, not a father's handiwork."
