Leaving Daliang, within a few days, Liu Yuan and others entered Hanoi County. Unlike Dang County, Hanoi County has a wide and flat dirt road, which is a wide and flat dirt road that is compacted with soil. In autumn, the cool breeze has risen, and the drizzling autumn rain makes people feel a little chilly. Fortunately, the hats and robes were prepared in advance, and the officials and strong men did not get wet. However, the prisoners who were serving in the conscription were not so lucky, the rain was not heavy, but it did not stop, and the prisoners were thinly dressed, and after the rain, they could not help but shiver.

Walking on the gallop road, due to the wind and rain, the whole team was much slower, but fortunately, the gallop was smooth and not as rugged as the mountain road. "Brother Cao, let's take a rest first." Liu Yuan looked up at the sky, and saw that it had been gloomy, and he didn't know when the rain would stop, so he said to Cao Shen, "The conscripts are inconvenient in the rain, so let's avoid it first." ”

"It's fine." Cao saw that the prisoners were like chickens in soup, and they also nodded in response. Then the whole team took shelter from the rain in the woods by the roadside, and with the branches and foliage to cover them, the prisoners were much more comfortable. "Little Brother Liu, come and drink rice wine to warm up." Cao Shen handed over a wine jug made of bamboo tubes and grinned.

This rice wine was bought through the county seat, and Cao Shen is also a wine lover. Liu Yuan took the bamboo tube, raised his head and poured a sip, there was also some warmth on his body, and he said: "Brother Cao, don't blame Yuan for drinking it." ”

"You're making fun of your Brother Cao again, so it's all sent to Little Brother Liu." Cao Shen waved his hand and smiled very heartily, over time, the relationship between him and Liu Yuan became closer, and the two also joked with each other from time to time.

"You're welcome." Liu Yuan smiled, he found the big cow again, and said, "You also take a sip to warm your body, and give the rest to Brother Xiahou." ”

Da Niu smiled, he took a sip carefully with his mouth gluttonous, for fear of revealing a drop, such an honest appearance also made Liu Yuan and Cao Shen smile. "Alright, let's go. If you want to drink, the next time you pass by the county, Brother Yuan will help you buy a pot. Seeing that the big cow turned to leave, he remembered something again, so he said again: "In addition, light some more bonfires to warm up the conscripts, and don't get sick on this rainy day." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, I'll leave it to me." Da Niu nodded and stopped, and then he handed over the rice wine to Xiahou Ying, and he took a few people to chop some firewood. The rain was not heavy, and the woods were shading, and although the firewood was a little damp, the ox still took some effort to light the campfire. With the baking of the wood fire, the prisoners also sat together, and their bodies gradually warmed up.

Taking advantage of this, Liu Yuan asked people to boil some hot water, and then distributed the dry food, and the prisoners were also satisfied. After the meal, the rain was still raining, Cao Shen's face was a little solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Don't stay for a long time, I think it's better to go on the road." ”

Liu Yuan also agreed, escorting the conscription is a big matter, and it should not be delayed for a long time because of the rain, he said in a deep voice: "According to what Brother Cao said, after a little rest, the prisoners' faces are much better, and they are in a hurry at this time." ”

Hearing that they were on their way, the prisoners naturally complained, but at the urging of the officials, they could only get up and brave the rain to move forward again. The road was also a little muddy under the impact of the rain, the road was slippery, and from time to time prisoners fell to the ground. Liu Yuan walked last, such weather was worrying, but fortunately, Liu Ji and the others did not take the opportunity to make trouble. In the evening, the sky was getting dark, the rain was falling, and the officials and men were tired. Liu Yuan and Cao Shen both had sad faces, and where to stay at night has not yet been settled.

In the middle of worry, a woman came with an umbrella in front of her, the woman had no pink decoration, she was extremely simple, but her face was calm. Seeing the woman stop in front of him, Liu Yuan arched his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what happened to the girl?" ”

The woman stared at Liu Yuan and nodded quietly, then looked at Liu Ji and sighed in a low voice. After the woman returned the salute, she said: "Everyone came from a long way, afraid that they would be tired from the rain and cold, and the little woman has ordered someone to build a grass hut in front of them for everyone to rest." ”

Liu Yuan and Cao Shen glanced at each other, and they both secretly said who this woman was, and how could they know about them? Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the girl, but I don't know who the girl is?" ”

"Wen County Xu Negative." It turned out that this woman was the one who watched the sky day and night, she looked at Liu Yuan, and spoke with some respect.

Who is Xu Luo? Liu Yuan thought about it carefully, and he was also shocked in his heart, isn't this Xu Cheng the person who decided that Bo Ji should be born as the Son of Heaven in later generations? Liu Yuan's eyes flickered, this Xu Cheng's Xiangren technique was learned from Huangshi Gong, at this moment, Xu Cheng came here to have already divined the hexagram? Liu Yuan shook his head, this Huang Lao's technique was mysterious and mysterious, and he naturally dealt with it carefully and said, "It turned out to be Miss Xu." ”

"If you are free, please go to Wen County for a while." Xu Cheng said with a little meaning.

Liu Yuan nodded, and said again in a deep voice: "In the future, Yuan will go to bother." ”

Xu Cheng also bowed her head, and before leaving, she turned around and glanced at Liu Ji again, I don't know why, she was also sorry.

"Wen County Xu Negative?" Cao Shen stepped forward at this time and whispered, "This woman is so steady, it's really rare." ”

This Xu Cheng was praised and given by the first emperor, and he was educated by Huangshi Gong, don't look at his young age, but he has also read countless people, and he is naturally calm and generous. Liu Yuan's heart was a little dignified, and he couldn't guess what he meant today, especially the look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Ji before leaving, which made him even more worried. However, Liu Yuan never noticed Xu Cheng's respect for him. "Brother Cao, let's go, let's go to the grass hut in front of you to shelter from the rain and spend the night."

"Well, it's okay, thanks to this loss, otherwise I wouldn't have had a place to rest tonight." Cao Shen smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

After entering the grass shed, although he couldn't shelter from the wind, he didn't have to get drenched in the rain, and Liu Yuan also found that this Xu Cheng had actually left a warm meal in the shed, which was really well prepared. However, no matter what Xu Cheng's intention was, Liu Yuan was not afraid, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he asked himself to know more than Xu Cheng.

After dinner, all the prisoners also rested, Da Niu insisted on keeping vigil, and Liu Yuan was able to sleep well. And in this night, Zhou Bo finally arrived in Qian County, the Xiahou family is a big family, after he entered the city, he ate a little, and then inquired about the place of Xiahou's family. The courtyard of Xiahou's house is very large, it is in the north of Qiaoxian County, Zhou Bo knocked on the door gently, and it was a servant who opened the door.

When I arrived in the hall, before I sat down, I heard a cold snort, "This unfilial son dares to write a letter home, it's really a shame for my Xiahou family." ”

Zhou Bo heard the sound and looked, and a pale old man walked in with an unkind face.
