Chapter 38: The Unpredictable Heart (1)
Zhang Wei heard Cai Mao's words, and his brain was confused: "Didn't Liu Biao marry Cai Mao's sister in history, if I killed Liu Biao at this time, then he would naturally not be able to form a family with Cai Mao, and Sun Jian would not be killed by Liu Biao, so wouldn't the whole history be completely messed up?" ”
Cai Mao saw that Zhang Wei was silent, and when he was worried, he hurriedly said: "The problem of the aftermath Brother Xian doesn't have to worry at all, as long as Brother Xian succeeds, I will lead my cronies to pretend to escort you, and naturally I will deliberately let you go, and no one knows that you did it!" Then I sent my nephew Zhang Yun to lead troops into the city, and said that it was Liu Biao who was assassinated by the Kuai family, and if no one supported him at this time, I could annihilate him in one fell swoop. At that time, you will be the city guard, and then marry Miss Qin'er to you, which will not only fulfill the alliance between Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, but also let the heroes and beauties have ** eventually become dependents, isn't it happy? Besides, Liu Biao's popularity is very small, at the banquet yesterday, I proposed you to be the city guard, but he was right, and afterwards he will definitely set a poison plan with the Kuai clan to harm you, and then we can take the opportunity to promote his henchmen to become the city guard, and then our situation will be even more unfavorable. ”
Cai Mao saw the mention of Qin'er, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If you don't like to be famous, I will allocate a thousand taels of gold to the virtuous brother, you and Qin'er will live together, have no worries about food and clothing, and have a few more pairs of children, isn't it also beautiful?" ”
Zhang Wei hesitated: "This matter is very important, how about Brother Rong think about it a little and then reply?" ”
Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Qin'er will get married in five days, and the virtuous brother must be decided quickly!" ”
Zhang Wei said: "Big brother don't worry, the foolish brother will have a choice the day after tomorrow, I drank too much yesterday, and now I have a splitting headache, I will go back to the inn to rest first!" ”
Cai Mao said with concern: "Brother Xian's body is important, go back and have a good rest!" After a pause, he instructed: "Don't tell others about this matter!" Remember! ”
Zhang Wei knew that the person in Cai Mao's mouth was Zhao Yudan, and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Wei left Cai's Mansion and walked on the very lively street, looking at everyone smiling, as if he was an outsider, watching the world from the sidelines, and suddenly a kind of inexplicable loneliness was born in his heart: "I don't belong here, but fate put me in this strange place, I wanted to live my life in peace, but there was always something that made me have no time to deal with it, and pushed me into the long river of history, and now I have a joke: change history or give up my lover's life happiness." The former is something I don't dare to do, and who knows if history had changed, would I still be who I am today? The latter is something I can't bear to do! ”
Zhang Wei was in a state of confusion, walking on the street blankly, letting the flow of people pass by, but he didn't realize it, just like a walking corpse, wandering aimlessly.
Suddenly, a dry hand grabbed Zhang Wei's arm and scared Zhang Wei away.
I saw that the person who grabbed him was a Taoist priest-like person, wearing a shabby Taoist robe, and said with a mysterious face: "My Guan Gongzi will have a bloody disaster recently!" ”
Zhang Wei was in the mood to talk nonsense with this Jianghu warlock, and with a slight wave of his hand, he shook off the Taoist priest and continued to move forward. Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest followed two steps, grabbed Zhang Wei's left arm, and said: "This hexagram is a coincidence, the poor Taoist only said a few words to the son, and never took money!" ”
Zhang Wei shook his left hand, and continued to move forward, who knew that the scholar didn't know what method he used, but he suddenly ran in front of Zhang Wei, blocked the way, and said with a serious face: "This hexagram involves heavenly machines, I must say to you, although I also think it is very strange, but the hexagram shows that this matter is related to the fortune of the Han Dynasty!" ”
Zhang Wei was tormented by this Taoist priest's persistence, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, if you want to tell fortunes, come and calculate what I should do now?" You're a master, you don't need me to say it, you know what I'm talking about, right? ”
The Taoist priest pretended to pinch his fingers and calculated, and said, "You naturally have an extremely difficult thing to choose in your heart, no matter how you choose, you can't have the best of both worlds, am I right?" ”
Zhang Wei's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "The master is really a master, so you continue to talk about it, how should I decide on this matter?" ”
Seeing Zhang Wei's serious face, the Taoist priest straightened his chest and said: "The hexagram is shown as a trapped hexagram, and the so-called trapped hexagram is redeemed, and the exchange is Ze; The lower hexagram is the kan, the kan is the water, the water seeps into the bottom of the river, and the middle of the river dries up, which is the hexagram of the sleepy hexagram. The gentleman looks at this hexagram, self-encouragement in a difficult situation, poverty and strength, and sacrifices his life to carry out his long-cherished ambition. ”
Zhang Wei was confused when he heard this, and said, "Can the master pick a simple one?" ”
The Taoist priest said: "This hexagram means that you are now in a predicament, and it is difficult to display your talents, only by adhering to the right path, can you succeed and get out of the predicament!" ”
Zhang Wei asked, "What is the right way?" ”
The Taoist priest smiled and said: "Good question, the Tao exists in everyone's heart, everyone has different opinions about the Tao in their hearts, the poor Taoist son is upright, not like crooked and evil, so he will be enlightened, as long as you follow your inner thoughts, you will definitely be able to find a way out!" ”
Zhang Wei repeated the words of the Taoist priest several times, and suddenly said: "Thank you for the enlightenment of the master, and the other is suddenly opened in Xiamao, what history and what world, what does this have to do with me?" I don't know how long I can survive in this troubled world, instead of worrying about the sky, it is better to do what is in front of you! What the Taoist chief said is really good, there are some silver taels here, and I hope the Taoist will accept it! ”
The Taoist priest smiled and said: "The son can be taught, I will accept your wishes, I hope the son will do it himself!" With that, he walked away and disappeared into the crowded streets.
Zhang Wei muttered: "The small is hidden in the wilderness, the big is hidden in the city, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" After thinking about it, it seems that he is already an ancient, and he can't help but wonder.
Zhang Wei figured out the knot in his heart, and the aura of the whole person changed, and he went to see Qin'er excitedly. The guard at the gate of the post station was Cai Mao's subordinate, who had seen Zhang Wei, so he didn't dare to stop him and let him go easily.
As soon as Zhang Wei entered the post house, he was bumping into Lan Xiang coming out of it, and the former said with a smile: "Sister Lan Xiang, today is good, is Miss Qin'er there?" ”
Lan Xiang changed her enthusiasm and said coldly: "What are you looking for my young lady?" Miss will get married in five days, and now the son is just afraid of inconvenience when he comes to visit! ”
Zhang Wei said: "Sister Lanxiang, don't worry, I came here to tell Miss Qin'er that I will definitely try to stop this family business, and I will definitely not let Miss Qin'er marry that person who is not as good as **!" He saw that Lan Xiang's face was not good, so he directly changed his name to sister.
Lan Xiang's face softened slightly, and she said suspiciously: "I heard that you went to Cai's mansion for a banquet the day before yesterday, who doesn't know that Cai's and Kuai's are Liu Biao's right-hand men, and Cai Mao escorted them on this trip, it can be seen that this person also wants to try his best to promote this marriage, what good plan can you have if you go to mix with that guy?" Men love fame and fortune, but who will take our daughter's family to heart! ”
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "It turns out that Miss Lanxiang misunderstood, this is not the place to talk, why don't you take me to see Miss Qin'er, I will definitely explain it to you in person!" Then he made up his mind and said to himself: "Even if I disappear here, I must rescue Qin'er!" ”
Lan Xiang saw Zhang Wei's firm tone, and said movingly: "Okay, I'll trust you once, come with me!" ”
The two turned a few corners and came to a room, Lan Xiang said: "This is it, you can go in by yourself!" ”
Zhang Wei was just about to take a step, but he heard the laughter of children in the room, and said in amazement: "Sister Lanxiang, why are there children in this room?" Is it Qin'er's younger brother? ”
Lan Xiang's little face sank and said: "My young lady only has an elder brother, where is the younger brother, and it is your son inside!" ”
Zhang Wei's face changed and said, "Nani? I... Son?"
