Chapter 21: The Heroes of Dong (1)
Maybe it was the jade plaque taken in Han Lie's hand, and for the rest of the journey, they never encountered an enemy attack again, and by the time the carriage arrived at Keiguan, ten years had passed.
Although Jiguan is connected to the border of Hedong, this will seem to be calm, the reason is naturally that the Hedong rebels will have no time to go south, because Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu's 30,000 Xiliang army has occupied Hedong Port at this time, in order to deal with Niu Fu's conquest, Hedong's 100,000 Baibo army is also now deploying troops, and there is a great posture of life and death with Niu Fu.
In this way, there will naturally be no danger of war in Jiguan, and the defenders and people in the pass will live how or how they live.
This way buried his head in the road, Han Lie really ignored the time, and when he entered Jiguan, he found that the New Year was approaching, and in this Jiguan market, every household was preparing New Year's goods, cleaning up filth, and welcoming the upcoming New Year.
At this moment, Xu Huang's body has been half better, and he is sitting on the same wheel, looking at the scene of the year in the market, and his slightly ruddy face can't help but show a smile: "It's the New Year." ”
Han Lie, who was driving the carriage, looked at the lively street market with some novelty, for him, this was the first New Year in ancient times, and he felt a little melancholy when he remembered the New Year in his previous life.
"The guest officer is from out of town, right? It's not easy to come out of this big New Year. When he stopped at the door of an inn in the west of the city, Xiao Er in the store greeted him with a smile.
"Take care of our horses and arrange for us three more upper rooms." Li Yang got off the horse and kicked the reins to Xiao Erdao.
"Don't worry, our inn has stables and forage to ensure that the horses of the guest officers will not be hungry." Then Li Yang handed over a string of five-baht coins, and Xiao Er's face suddenly bloomed.
Han Lie beckoned Cai Yan and Xu Huang into the inn, and several maids in the carriage also got out of the carriage one after another.
"Sit down and eat, for you have been suffering all these days." After Han Lie sat down on the ground, he saw a few little maids standing aside, so he beckoned them to sit down and eat together, as a modern person, he didn't have the habit of calling people, and more importantly, these girls followed him all the way, and they also suffered a lot, and now that they were about to separate, he didn't need to treat others as slaves.
"Brother Han asked you to sit down." These four maids are the maids brought out by Cai Yan from Luoyang, because they were temporarily purchased when they were married, so Cai Yan is not very familiar with the relationship between these maids, but these girls are still very respectful.
"Thank you, miss." Several maids got Cai Yan's orders, so they knelt down on the table next to them.
After the New Year in Keiguan, it was until the seventh day of the new year. With Cai Yan's consent, Han Lie sold some of the dowry cloth and silk silk carried on the carriage for 3,000 yuan, plus Cai Yan carried the dowry money, a total of 5,000 yuan, and each of the maids divided 1,000 yuan, and then dismissed them.
It's not that Han Lie thinks it's a burden to take them, of course, the fact is also a burden, the main thing is that he doesn't feel safe to follow him, give them a sum of money, they can go home or settle down in the local area, a thousand yuan is not much, but if one person spends it, it is enough to use it for more than half a year.
got such a lot of money, and several girls expressed their gratitude and left.
"Master, a few girls and slaves, the master is willing to stay, and if he is not willing to stay, he will be sent away, and it will cost thousands of dollars." Li Yang looked at the backs of the girls leaving, and muttered with some envy and distress about the money.
"After all, if we share weal and woe, why should we value a little money so much? If you are willing to go now, I will give you a thousand dollars, and the horse you are riding will be taken with you. Although Han Lie knew the importance of money, he also cherished life more, if it was not necessary, he would never kill a person in vain, nor would he despise any life, then the other party was just a maid and servant who could be slaughtered by others.
"Master, the little one knows that he is wrong, please don't drive the little one away." Han Lie's words were understated, and the frightened Li Yang lowered his head with a blank face.
"Okay, now I know it's not too late to be afraid." Xu Huang glared at Li Yang with a smile, and said with a straight face: "Ziyang and Huang are fated to be able to trust each other in life and death, and today they can give thousands of dollars to the lowly maids, such a demeanor is really the work of a benevolent." ”
"What Brother Xu said is mile, Confucius said: the wise are not worried, and the benevolent are not confused. Yan'er sees that Brother Han is not only a benevolent man, but also a wise man. Cai Yan thought of the benevolent and courageous behavior shown by Han Lie along the way, and he already admired him in his heart.
In the past few days in Jiguan, she also learned that her father was not convicted in Luoyang, and now he has served in the imperial court. After some careful consideration in the past two days, she resolutely made a decision, expressing to Han Lie that she did not want to marry Hedong for the time being, and hoped that Han Lie could escort her back to Luoyang after a while, for Cai Yan had this thought, Han Lie did not feel the slightest surprise, as early as when the woman in black was buried in the forest, when he saw her take off her wedding dress, Han Lie had already seen that Cai Yan, who looked weak on the surface, had a strength in his bones that ordinary women did not have.
For marrying Wei Zhongdao, a child of the Hedong Wei family, she had never had the idea of resisting before, in her opinion, this is the fate of a woman, but this all the way down with Han Lie, she not only experienced life and death, but also learned a lot of strange ideas from Han Lie's mouth, so she gradually repelled Wei Zhongdao who wanted to marry.
Especially now that the Baibo Army in Hedong is rebelling and the road is blocked, she just wants to marry in the past, and she can't go for a while, and it is precisely because she found such an excuse that she has the idea of refusing to marry and going home, but in fact she doesn't know that these excuses are just the reason for her to escape the seed that sprouted in her heart.
"Brother Gongming, Sister Wen Ji, don't flatter me, what kind of benevolent and wise man, I can't afford it, it's the so-called big husband who acts, but I want to be worthy of my heart, I can do this, I Han Lie is enough." Han Lie waved his hand, interrupting their praise.
Because they promised Cai Yan to send her back to Luoyang, after spending the New Year in Jiguan, they set off again, preparing to go to Mengjin, and then return to Luoyang from Mengjin.
Xu Huang did not object to going to Luoyang, his parents died early, and he did not marry a wife and have children, and now his hometown has been captured by the thief army, and he has nowhere to go for a while, and he also swore to repay Han Lie for saving his life, so he readily agreed to Han Lie's invitation to Luoyang.
Li Yang is now Han Lie's servant, and he naturally has no doubts.
On the contrary, Cai Yan, who was the first to shout that he wanted to go back to Luoyang, looked a little depressed when he stepped on the road, Han Lie couldn't guess the girl's thoughts, and Xu Huang and Li Yang couldn't guess it, so they could only let it go.
However, just when Han Lie and his entourage arrived in Yewang County on the north bank of the Yellow River and were about to cross the river to Mengjin for Luoyang, a sudden news had to make them stop their trip.
This news is actually an edict, to the effect that the Kwantung scholars led by Liu Dai, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao, who went to return to his hometown, issued a document to discuss Dong Wei, and the heroes responded for a while, and the soldiers and horses all over the world moved.
Han Lie, who is a man of two lifetimes, suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a battle in history in which the world's heroes fought against Dong Zhuo.
