After passing the Lishan Heights, the carriage went all the way down the road, Ji Ping controlled the speed of the car, looked at Chang'an, which was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but ask Cai Yan: "Cai, aren't you curious why I was chased and killed?" ”

This question has been pressed in his heart for a long time, and it is said that Cai Yan should have asked it a long time ago in several life and death crises, but she has never asked.

Hearing Ji Ping's question, Cai Yan obviously hesitated before he said softly: "In the first year of Chuping, Cai Yan saw Liu Gongzi in Anyi. ”

Lu Qi in the carriage exclaimed: "Huh? Sister, when have you met Liu Gongzi? ”

Ga?! Ji Ping's hand shook, and the carriage almost turned off the cliff, so frightened that Lu Qi in the car exclaimed again.

Ji Ping hurriedly controlled the carriage, looked at the two strong guards not far in front, and said in a low voice: "Cai, everyone, is my appearance so outstanding?" Supposedly, a lot has changed in the past two years...... Why is it still recognized? ”

You know, in the past two years, he has been from fifteen to seventeen years old, it is the development period, and he has been tempered in two years, not only has his body grown a lot, but his temperament has become stronger.

He believed that even if he was standing in front of Dong Zhuo now, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to recognize him, so he dared to come to Chang'an boldly, but he didn't expect to be recognized by Cai Yan, who had only met once, first, which made him quite shocked.

Therefore, he was curious about how Cai Yan recognized him.

"Liu Gongzi's appearance is good, but it is not so prominent." Hearing Ji Ping's inquiry, Cai Yan couldn't help but chuckle. Then his face turned slightly red: "However, Liu Gongzi's eyes are very unique." ”

Although Ji Ping was indeed radiant and magnificent. But after all, it was a woman who remembered the eyes of a strange man, and even Cai Yan, who was naturally atmospheric, was a little shy. Hurriedly added: "And Liu Gongzi came from the east of the river, and was chased and killed, surnamed Liu Mingzhi, Cai Yan naturally thought of a lot." ”

Ji Ping nodded and sighed, his spirit in Hedong was somewhat similar to what it is now, but it was completely different from the Luoyang Palace, presumably Dong Zhuo and they should not recognize it, but with Cai Yan's experience. Ji Ping felt that he should be more cautious, but said with a smile: "Fortunately, it is everyone Cai, if it is recognized by Dong Zhuo's old friends in Chang'an City, I am afraid that this head will already be remembered." ”

Cai Yan laughed softly: "I can't think of a famous one... It's so funny, Cai Yan really can't imagine it. ”

"Famous?" Ji Ping touched his nose: "I'm not famous in Hedong, right?" ”

Cai Yan said with a smile: "For ordinary people, Liu Gongzi is a benefactor and is extremely respectful, but for Haoqiang, Liu Gongzi can stop children from crying at night." ”

Ji Ping smiled: "That's right." The world is the world of tens of millions of people, not the world of hundreds of families, they have done too much, and they are much greedy. made the people's grievances boil, and led public opinion to the Son of Heaven and the eunuchs, and so on. Naturally, someone should clean it up. ”

Cai Yan said seriously: "The king of Hedong has the qualifications of the Ming lord, and now there is a saying in Hedong. The new out of the world is out of the east of the river, and the new out of the palace in the east of the river. Hedong has changed a lot in the past two years, and most of them are changes in clothing, food, housing and transportation, which have benefited the people immensely. This anger originated from the king of Hedong. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Yan paused and said, "Guanzhong is so restless, Liu Gongzi has a special identity, why do you want to go to the dangerous place of Chang'an?" ”

Ji Ping smiled: "In the troubled times, how can there be peace, Hedong is a small area, you can start, but it is difficult to lay a foundation, sitting in Hedong, not thinking about the long term, sooner or later you will die." ”

looked at Chang'an City not far away, and sighed: "It's a pity that the country of Tianfu in Guanzhong, the Qin people pacified the six countries because of it, and Gaozu determined the world because of it, but now in the hands of Dong Zhuo, it has fattened itself and withered the people's livelihood." ”

Cai Yan's face showed a look of relatives: "Since entering the customs, I have been devastated and everything I have seen makes people cry, and I just need the son to sweep away the traitors and reorganize the Guanzhong." ”

Lu Qi in the carriage was curious: "What are you talking about, why can't the little maid understand?" ”

Both smiled, but neither answered.

Talking all the way, Cai Yan's erudition amazed Ji Ping, and he couldn't help but praise: "Everyone Cai is really knowledgeable, and he is ashamed of countless recommended Maocai." ”

Cai Yan said quietly: "As a woman, even if you have learned, in this troubled world, you are just a leaf of duckweed, it is difficult to protect yourself, and it is difficult to be displaced, and it is rare to have a peaceful place." ”

Ji Ping touched his nose again, it seems that the troubled times have a lot to do with the Son of Heaven, but in the troubled times, fate is difficult to control, and the sense of powerlessness that is precarious and can't see the future really keeps many people awake at night.

"Guanzhong is in chaos, Hedong is quite peaceful, why do you want to come to Guanzhong?" As soon as Ji Ping spoke, he felt that he had asked a stupid question.

Sure enough, a trace of helplessness and tenderness flashed in Cai Yan's eyes: "Although Hedong is peaceful, there is no concern, and although Guanzhong is chaotic, there is Ah Weng." ”

"That's a lot of truth." Ji Ping said with deep feelings: "Cai Zhonglang is also close to the age of sixteen now, and there is only one daughter of the Cai family, so someone should really take care of it." ”

Cai Yan glanced at Ji Ping: "Who said that Ah Weng only has Cai Yan's daughter?" ”

Ji Ping was stunned, who said that? It seems that later generations said that Cai Yan was an only daughter, so Cao Cao ransomed Cai Yan from the Southern Xiongnu.

A trace of sadness flashed in Cai Yan's eyes: "Cai Yan's mother was unbearable, and died of illness on the way to Wuhui, and later Ah Weng accepted his concubine mother, and gave birth to his female brother Cai Wan and younger brother Cai Jin in Wudi. ”

Ji Ping hurriedly closed his mouth, Cai Yan's mother died in exile? His cheap father and Cai Yong's family really have a blood feud.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately Cai Yan was gentle and reasonable, otherwise on the Huayin Ancient Road that night, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu would have broken off the unconscious self with one shot.

After passing Lishan, the carriage entered the territory of Baling County. Baling County is Zhiyang County in the Qin period, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty built the Baling Tomb here in the ninth year, and changed the name of the county.

After entering Baling, Cai Yan suddenly asked again: "Liu Gongzi is going to Chang'an, is there a place to settle?" ”

Ji Ping shook his head: "There are a lot of old friends in Chang'an, but I'm afraid I can't see any of them." ”

The old friends he said were naturally Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Wang Yun, Dong Huang, who had seen him in Luoyang, and even Cai Yong knew him, and he also gave himself a lesson when he was eight years old.

As for Zhu Ao's affairs in Chang'an, he was naturally inconvenient to explain to Cai Yan, not to mention that he really didn't know where Zhu Ao's Shadow Division's stronghold was, and it would take time to leave a secret note to contact.

Thinking of this, Ji Ping was also a little worried, this time he arrived in Chang'an, and there was really no place to stay for a while. Moreover, since Dong Zhuo ordered all the bronze figures, bronze bells and bronze horses to be broken and cast into small coins, it has led to serious inflation, and now it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy a stone valley in Guanzhong.

Xinyue Fox gave himself a little money when he left, but that money, I am afraid that he can only drink the northwest wind in Guanzhong.

At this time, Lu Qi in the carriage said: "Son-in-law, Liu Gongzi can go to Cai's Mansion for a while first." (To be continued.) )
