Chapter 283: The Way Home Is Slim

Xiaopingjin is a Yellow River ferry in the north of Luoyang, go to Xiaopingjin, it will be late, Liu Ze saw a small post house in front of him, and said to Cai Yong: "It's late, and the right to rest in this post house for a night, it's not too late to cross the river tomorrow." ”

Cai Yong nodded in response, it was the practice of ferries not to cross the river at night, and they could only wait until dawn to cross the river.

The pavilion is not big, and it can't accommodate Liu Ze's one hundred and ten people, so Liu Ze ordered Pan Feng to camp by the Yellow River, and he and Zhao Yun accompanied Cai Yong's family into the pavilion. Sleeping all the way, Cai Yong, who is over half a hundred years old, and the delicate Cai sisters can be regarded as having suffered enough, although they have not complained for half a sentence, but Liu Ze is very guilty in his heart, not to mention that the next trip will be even longer, going to Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, almost to go around a big circle, and the hardships are self-evident. When the road met the pavilion, Liu Ze immediately arranged the best accommodation for them, had a good meal, and slept comfortably, so that they could relieve their fatigue.

As soon as he entered the door, the guy at the pavilion greeted him with a smile: "Please come inside the guest officer!" Dare to ask the guest officer whether he wants to be sharpened or stay in the hotel? ”

Zhao Yun directly threw him a piece of gold and said, "First go and arrange a table of banquets, and then prepare a few upper rooms, the banquets should be sumptuous, and the guest rooms should be clean!" ”

"Okay!" The guy smiled and agreed, in troubled times, the business of this small inn was bleak, it was rare to have guests come to the door today, and he was generous, how to be unhappy, he welcomed Liu Ze and others into the lobby at the moment, and immediately arranged a banquet.

Everyone sat down, and Liu Ze knelt down next to Cai Yan, looking at Cai Yan's powder and dust, describing him as haggard. I felt very sorry in my heart, and held her soft hand and said, "Yan'er, this journey has hurt you." ”

Cai Yan said with a smile: "Senior Brother Runde, this hard work is nothing. ”

Next to her was Cai Qin, and when she heard this, she shouted: "Sister, you are still called Senior Brother Runde, it's time to change your name to Fujun." Isn't it, brother-in-law? ”

Cai Yan's face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "Dead Nizi." See if I don't tear your mouth! He gestured and twisted her.

Cai Qin chuckled. jumped up and hid behind Liu Ze and shouted, "Brother-in-law save me!" ”

Liu Ze stopped Cai Yan with a smile and said, "Yan'er, don't blame Sister Qin, she is naughty at this age." ”

"It's still my brother-in-law who loves me the most-" Cai Qinjiao smiled. "What does it taste like?" It smells so good! ”

The guy at the inn was coming up with a few dishes. He said with a smile: "The guest officer said." This is our restaurant's signature dish - the Yellow River carp, which was only caught from the Yellow River this morning, and it is very fresh. Taste it, everybody. ”

Cai Qin was hungry for a long time, and when she smelled the fragrance, she moved her index finger, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the fish and meat.

Cai Yong's face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Qin'er, don't be rude!" "For this naughty daughter, Cai Yong has always had a headache, as a Confucian family, etiquette and rules are naturally exquisite, Cai Yan's noble and reserved temperament comes from Cai Yong's true biography, but this second girl is the most naughty and naughty, Cai Yong is not easy to teach, it is still my own way, Cai Yong had to go with her. But today, in front of the public, Cai Qin rushed to stretch out his chopsticks without waiting for the elders to move, and Cai Yong, who had always been serious, couldn't hold back his face and reprimanded.

Cai Qin was reprimanded, and when she saw Cai Yong's angry expression, she had no choice but to sit back, pouting, and looking unhappy.

Liu Zehan said with a smile: "It's all my own family, why be polite, Qin Mei is when she grows up, she must be hungry, come!" Liu Ze took a large piece of fish and put it in her bowl.

Cai Qin smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”

Cai Yong sighed helplessly and said, "Qin'er, you are not young, you have reached the age of leaving the cabinet, you are so willful and foolish, see how you can get married?" ”

Cai Qin glared and said, "Who said I was going to get married?" ”

Cai Yong frowned and said: "You have been married to the sheep family since you were a child, if it weren't for this separation, I'm afraid you would have married into the sheep family a long time ago, how can you rest assured as a father like this." ”

Cai Qin pouted and said, "I don't want to get married, didn't you ruin her life by marrying your sister to the Wei family?" ”

Cai Yan's face turned pale in an instant when he heard this, his body trembled, his pale lips were pursed, and he didn't say a word. Cai Yong's expression was also gloomy, and he sighed silently. Cai Qin said a word, and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Liu Ze personally poured a glass of wine for Cai Yong, raised his glass and said: "Since I left Chang'an, I have been sleeping all the way, and today I have the right to borrow this glass of water and wine to suppress the teacher's shock." ”

Cai Yong sighed: "If it weren't for Runde sacrificing his life to save him this time, he would have been a human being for the second time, and he would not dare to thank him, and he would definitely repay him one day." ”

"The teacher is serious, one day is a teacher, a lifetime is a father, the teacher is in trouble, how can the disciple not be saved? Even if it is a disciple who goes to the soup and fire, he will not hesitate! Liu Ze said with a straight face.

Cai Yong's eyes showed a look of approval, and he said: "I have been a good disciple in my life, and I have no regrets even if I die." I only sigh that the world is in turmoil, and the society is in chaos, but Yong is powerless, sad and sighing! ”

Liu Ze was about to speak, but he heard someone singing at the window: "The heavens and the earth are repeatedly on fire, and the building will collapse and it will be difficult to support it." There are virtuous people in the valley who want to vote for the Lord, but the Lord seeks the Virtuous but does not know me. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look back, Liao Liao, a guest in this inn, only one person kneeling at the table at the window, Ge scarf cloth robe, soap silk black shoes, obviously a Confucian costume, but with a long sword on his back, he looked at the Yellow River from the window, and the song of Fang Cai did come from his mouth.

Most of the swords worn by scholars are vassals and elegant, and the swords generally worn are short swords, inlaid with gold and jade, hanging from the waist, but this person's sword is both long and wide, and it is a sword used by the samurai at a glance, which is a sharp weapon for killing, and he sits alone in front of the window, singing to the river, which itself reveals an evil nature.

Liu Ze was assassinated, and the subsequent security work was very strict, at this time Zhao Yun glanced at the Confucian scholar vigilantly, stood up, slowly took two steps forward, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and said in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

The Confucian man looked back, and looked like he was only in his early twenties, very young, with a heroic and calm expression between his eyebrows. He glanced at Zhao Yun, didn't speak, got up and saluted Liu Ze for a long time.

"Dare to ask, is the Zunjia the Plains Taishou Liu Ze Liu Runde?"

He directly shouted out Liu Ze's name, Zhao Yun changed color when he heard this, and with a "bang", the sword was pulled out a foot, although it was not unsheathed, but the cold mangs were blazing.

"Who are you? How do I know my father-in-law? What are your plans here? ”

The Confucian scholar said calmly: "Your Excellency must be General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who has been famous for a long time, and I saw it today, and he is indeed a hero of the world!" ”

Zhao Yun was not moved by his flattering words, his eyes were like torches, and he stared at him. "It seems that you know it clearly, you must have other plans, hmph, I can't spare you today!"

Now that his whereabouts have been leaked, Zhao Yun doesn't mind killing people, Liu Ze's safety is more important than anything else, murderous intent looms in his eyes, as long as the other party dares to step on a step, it must be five steps of blood spattered.

Liu Ze looked at Zhao Yun's murderous intent, gave Zhao Yun a look, and asked him to step back. Although this young Confucian looked weird, his smile was very sincere, and he didn't look like an assassin, and Liu Ze was not ready to make a move until he found out the true identity and intentions of the other party.

"We have never met, how did Your Excellency know Liu?" Liu Ze bowed slightly.

The Confucian scholar smiled and said: "Now that the court has posted a reward for Liu Taishou, there are probably not many people in the world who don't know Liu Taishou's appearance." ”

Liu Ze smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this has to be given by Wang Yun Situ." Looking at Your Excellency, it seems that you intend to wait for Liu here, but you don't know what to teach? ”

Liu Taishou was not afraid of the danger of thousands of miles and saved the master in prison, this matter has been rumored to be a good story in the world, and he should be a model for scholars. It's just that Liu Taishou has a lot of enemies, hatred and resentment all over the world, and wants to return to the plain, but there are villains who are in the way, but I am afraid that the future is bleak. I don't know what way Liu Taishou wants to go before he can return to Pingyuan County safely? ”

"This ......" Liu Ze hesitated, he still couldn't figure out the identity of the other party, and how could he show his own route lightly.

The Confucian scholar obviously didn't wait for Liu Ze's answer, and quickly said: "If it is not bad as expected, Liu Taishou will definitely want to go to Jingzhou on this trip, and turn to Jiangdong, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou and return to the plains." ”

Liu Ze was shocked, this route was decided after careful consideration, this young Confucian said, it was exactly the same, how not to surprise him, but Liu Ze's face was Gujing Wubo, and said indifferently: "How can Your Excellency conclude that you will take such a seemingly distant road in the future?" ”

The Confucian man said with a smile: "Liu Taishou's enemies are the Yuan brothers of the fourth world and the three famous princes, they regard Liu Taishou as a thorn in the nail in the flesh, and they can't wait to get rid of it quickly, Yuan Shaoxiong dominates Hebei, Yuan Shuhu is far away from Huainan, these two places Liu Taishou is probably not able to go no matter what." Zhou Ang, the assassin of Yuzhou, is also Yuan Shao's protΓ©gΓ©, and he obeys his orders, and at this time, I am afraid that he has been ordered by Yuan Shao to spread the net in Yuzhou, so it will not work in Yuzhou. Liu Taishou wanted to return to the plain eastward, so he could only make a detour to Jingzhou Jiangdong and travel to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, although the road was far away, but he could avoid the Yuan forces, and there was no other way. Liu Taishou, is it true or not? ”

Liu Ze pondered for a moment, he really didn't figure out his true intentions, since he clearly and accurately judged his itinerary, if it was an enemy or a friend, he only needed to reveal it to Yuan Shao, and he didn't need to show up here at all, it seemed that this person was a friend and not an enemy, but what was the purpose of his coming here? Liu Ze really couldn't see through this young Confucian scholar, but he still nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right, you really have this plan in the future?" (To be continued......)
