It is undeniable that Zhang Huang can't travel much faster by riding in a carriage, and the only benefit is probably to save his body.

"Little brother, put this on, the wind is blowing fiercely today."

Uncle Mafu, who was about thirty or forty years old, took out a cloak from the wooden box under the seat to block the wind and threw it in Zhang Huang's arms.

Originally, Zhang Huang had a rigid body to protect himself and was not afraid of the cold at all, but looking at Uncle Mafu's kind eyes, he was embarrassed to refuse. Of course, he was naturally more embarrassed to rob other people's horses pulling carts and hurrying away.

Zhang Huang could only secretly rejoice in his heart that this failed robbery had not been seen, otherwise it would definitely make people laugh off their big teeth.

However, as he walked, Zhang Huang faintly felt that something was not right, because he found that the winter sun in the sky was always behind the left of his group.

What does this mean? Zhang Huang no longer knew the way, which meant that they had been walking in the northwest direction.

"Uncle, it doesn't seem like you're going northwest to Julu, right?" Zhang Huang asked in amazement.

Uncle Mafu smiled when he heard this, blinked and teased, "When did Uncle say that he was going to Julu?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Huang was stunned, and said in his heart, since you don't go to Julu, you still tell me to get into the carriage? Aren't you playing tricks on me?

As if noticing the look of shock and anxiety on Zhang Huang's face, Uncle Mafu whipped a whip out of thin air, drove the carriage and continued to drive forward, and said with a smile, "Little brother, don't worry, we have to go to Pingyin County first." ”

"What are you going to do in Pingyin County?" Zhang Huang asked puzzled.

Seeing Zhang Huang's puzzled expression, Uncle Mafu explained with a smile, "Of course, I crossed the river by boat." …… There is a ferry in Pingyin County, cross the Yellow River by boat, opposite is Heyang County, Hanoi County, when the time comes, you can go to Julu County in the northeast direction, passing through Wei County. ”

"Uh-oh." Zhang Huang nodded suddenly in realization.

Because there is nothing to do on the road. Uncle Mafu talked to Zhang Huang, and Zhang Huang also learned that Uncle Mafu's surname was Cai Mingbo, and he was probably an old man from a certain family. (i.e., old servants, old housekeepers, etc.) ）

"Cai Bo? Uncle, your name is not kind. Because he got along with each other a little, Zhang Huang was no longer restrained in his speech, and joked about Uncle Mafu's name with a smile.

"Hahaha." Cai Bo also smiled when he heard this, and said, "This is the name of the old father and mother, and it can't be blamed on the uncle." …… Yes, what's your name, little brother? ”

Zhang Huang pondered for a moment. Because he was once again 'honored' on the wanted list of the imperial court, it was not easy to reveal his real name, so as not to scare the other party, so he thought about it and said, "My name is Zhang Huo." ”

"Zhang Huo? It's a simple name...... However, how can it be called that? Cai Bo asked curiously.

Zhang Huang had already thought of the words, and replied when he heard the words, "It's not that there is a fortune teller who said that I am short of fire. That's why I took this name, it's concise and easy to understand, isn't it? ”

"Oh, that's ......" Cai Bo nodded suddenly, obviously believing Zhang Huang's words.

For this. Zhang Huang was a little reluctant, coughed and diverted the topic and asked, "Uncle, where are you going?" ”

"Go to Hedong County."

"Hedong?"

"Yes, yes. It is Anyi County, Hedong County. ”

"Hedong, ah......" Zhang Huang muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but roughly fantasize about a long-haired and bare-faced hero in his mind.

[Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang...... It is said that this person is also from Xie Liang County, Hedong......]

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Huang was shouldering Ma Yuanyi's entrustment at this time. Zhang Huang wanted to try his luck in Xie Liang County, Hedong, to see if he could have the luck to recruit Guan Yu, a heroic hero in history, to his righteous army Black Feather Crow. But then I thought about it carefully, according to the time, Guan Yu should have probably killed someone and was fleeing at this time, and then when the Taiping Road incident occurred, this heroic man met the famous 'Uncle Liu Huang' in Zhuo County, Youzhou, and the descendants of the Yan people who were born as butchers who slaughtered pigs like the general He Jin, the heroes Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, the three staged a scene of Taoyuan rebellion.

I have to say that whether it is for Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, Zhang Huang is very eager in his heart to hope to pull these two into his black feather crow, but he also knows that even if Guan Yu is embarrassed to sell dates to make a living at this time, even if Zhang Fei is mixed in the market to sell pork to make a living, those two are not necessarily willing to join his black feather crow. To be honest, Zhang Huang is really a little curious about this, if Liu Bei is not a down-and-out child of the royal family, or if he does not always claim to be the king of Zhongshan, whether he can recruit Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two rare fierce generals in the world.

[Just debuted, he recruited two fierce generals with 99 armed forces, this luck is simply against the sky!] ]

With a bit of envy and jealousy, Zhang Huang pouted. Think about how much work it took him to recruit Chen Dao, Li Tong, Xu Fu, Zang Ba, Tai Shici and others along the way? But that Liu Bei is good, he sighed after reading a notice and led to Zhang Fei, and then met Guan Yu again while eating in the wine shop, this luck was so good.

As the saying goes, people are more popular than people, no, the more Zhang Huang thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.

Next to him, Cai Bo seemed to notice Zhang Huang's abnormality, and asked in wonder, "What's wrong, Xiaohuo?" ”

"Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Zhang Huang reacted at this time, and in order to alleviate the embarrassment of wandering, he diverted the topic and asked, "Uncle, who is sitting in this carriage?" Your son-in-law? ”

"Yes, Miss." Cai Bo replied with a chuckle.

Of course, Zhang Huang knew that the young lady at this time was referring to the daughter of the house, and asked in surprise when he heard this, "What's it called?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Cai Bo knocked on Zhang Huang's head with his hand, and blamed, "How can you ask your daughter's name?" ”

"It's okay to ask?" Zhang Huang rubbed his head a little depressed.

"Of course not!" Cai Bo glanced at Zhang Huang, and Zhengse explained, "The name of the daughter's family, it stands to reason that only the parents and husband know. ”

"Husband?" Zhang Huang was stunned and muttered, "Have a husband?" ”

As soon as he heard that the lady in the car had been married, Zhang Huang suddenly had no thoughts at all, and he wanted to secretly see what the lady in the car looked like, whether it looked good or not.

chatting all the way, almost for half a day, the carriage finally arrived in Pingyin County.

When he saw the strict guards outside the gate of Pingyin County, Zhang Huang's expression was slightly unnatural, and he subconsciously pressed the brim of the cloak. And no wonder. God knows if his Zhang Huang's wanted reward has been sent to this Pingyin County, Zhang Huang doesn't want to be recognized, he is chased by a group of county soldiers, and swims across the Yellow River in the winter.

"Stop!" The guards of Pingyin County greeted them, and when they saw that the carriage driven by Cai Bo was good-looking, they were a little polite in their words: "Where do you want to go?" ”

"I want to cross the river to Hedong Anyi." Cai Bo replied kindly.

"Is there a way?"

When Cai Bo heard this, he took out the road guide from his arms and handed it to the county soldier.

"Hmm." Confirming that the road guide was distributed by the government, the county soldier nodded, returned the road guide to Cai Bo, and immediately glanced at the carriage. "What's in the car?" ”

"My young lady."

"......" The county soldier hesitated when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to pick up the curtain of the carriage, but was stopped by Cai Bo reaching out. Cai Bo said apologetically, "It is inconvenient for the female relatives in the car to show up, I hope this soldier brother will bear with me." As he spoke, he grabbed a large handful of copper coins from his money bag, including a few silver beans, and stuffed them all into the hands of the county soldier.

The county soldiers benefited. With a smile on his face, he naturally would no longer embarrass Cai Bo and his party, and they didn't even have Zhang Huang next to Cai Bo to check his body. On the contrary, Cai Bo was surprised to see so many county soldiers on duty, and asked suspiciously. "Pingyin County is under martial law?"

"Orders from above." The county soldier shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I heard that there is a group of thieves who are making trouble in Luoyang, although the head of the thieves has been executed." However, a few remnants escaped, and they were not searching. …… I heard that in addition to my Pingyin County, the downstream ferry port Mengjin, as well as Bishui Pass and so on. Several passes and ferries are all under martial law. No, the thieves didn't come, but they hurt us errands. ”

Listening to the county soldier pouring bitter water, Zhang Huang, who was sitting beside Cai Bo, was secretly startled, knowing that he originally planned to take the road of Bishui Pass.

"It's all about contributing to the country." Cai Bo said a polite word, then drove the carriage into the city slowly, muttering to himself, "I don't know what kind of thief's remnant party, so powerful, actually made Henan Yin all pass martial law ......"

Listening to Cai Bo's muttering, Zhang Huang couldn't help but sweat faintly in his head, thinking about it, he also knew that the rest of the party in the mouth of those county soldiers was referring to him Zhang Huang. After all, the imperial court has now learned about the Taiping Dao's preparation for rebellion because of Tang Zhou's report, but the Taiping Dao is still in the dark, since this is the case, the imperial court naturally wants to block the news and give the Taiping Dao a head-on blow, which is obvious.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang was secretly glad that he had met Cai Bo before, otherwise, he would have to work hard to escape from Henan Yin. As for crossing the Yellow River to Hanoi County, it is not difficult to guess that the intensity of the search must have been greatly weakened, simply put, the eagle flies high in the sky, the fish swims in the sea, and Zhang Huang, the little crow, can escape and rise into the air.

After a short time, Cai Bo drove the carriage to the inner ferry port on the north side of the city, and he negotiated the price with a ferry boss, who sent the group to the other side of the Yellow River.

This didn't seem like much of a deal, but when Zhang Huang actually set foot on the land of Hanoi County on the other side of the Yellow River, he realized that the sky was getting thin and approaching dusk.

[It's not much faster than I walked by myself, it's really not much faster......]

Zhang Huang sighed helplessly, and then clasped his fists and said to Cai Bo, "The so-called banquet that is inseparable in the world, I will be separated from my uncle here." Thank you uncle for giving me a ride, this kindness will be remembered in my heart. ”

Where did Cai Bo know that he had inadvertently helped a wanted criminal by the imperial court escape from Henan Yin, and waved his hand with a smile, "It's just a gesture, why bother?" …… But now that the sky is dark, why don't you rest tonight at the inn where you and I are looking for a home to rest, and then set off tomorrow? ”

Zhang Huang was about to speak, when suddenly a crisp female voice came from the carriage.

"Uncle Bo, have you arrived in Heyang?"

Before Cai Bo could speak, he saw a head emerge from the car curtain. It was a very young woman, about the same age as Zhang Huang, with tender skin like fat, red lips and white teeth, although she looked a little green because of her age, but she was a beauty.

This woman looked at Zhang Huang with a pair of eyes. Immediately, both of them showed surprise in their eyes.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The young woman stared at Zhang Huang carefully, and Cai Bo next to her saw that she was unhappy and said, "Second Miss, you haven't arrived at the inn yet, what are you doing here?" ”

"I've been sitting in the carriage all day, suffocating!" The 'second miss' in Cai Bo's mouth said coquettishly, and then looked at Zhang Huang and asked Cai Bodao. "Uncle Bo, who is this kid?"

"It's just a little guy who hitchhikes by the way." Cai Bo said perfunctorily, then waved his hand and asked the second lady to go back to the carriage.

Who knew that the second young lady didn't obey, looking Zhang Huang up and down, the fox asked, "Hey, what's your name?" Why does Miss Ben look at you a little familiar? ”

Zhang Huang swallowed his saliva secretly, he had already recognized this woman as the good-looking woman who winked and smiled at him in front of the Weiwei Temple Mansion that day. At the same time, it was also the woman who made his heart pound at that time.

[Could it be that this woman is the daughter of Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao in Cao Cao's mouth, Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji?] An extremely famous talented woman in history? How to speak like this? ]

Zhang Huang was really a little puzzled. He couldn't imagine that Cai Yan, a famous talented woman in history, would call others 'boy' and 'boy', which undoubtedly destroyed Zhang Huang's beautiful fantasy of Cai Yan.

Just when Zhang Huang was puzzled, he suddenly heard a very similar female voice in the carriage, except for the relatively flat tone, the rest were no different from before.

"Sister, how can my daughter's family talk so vulgarly? Don't apologize to that son? ”

[Sister?] ]

Zhang Huang was stunned, and then slapped his head and suddenly realized.

[Yes, this woman is 'Second Miss', since there is 'Second Miss'.] Then there is naturally a 'big lady'! ]

Zhang Huang involuntarily glanced at the carriage, he had a hunch that the people sitting in the carriage at the moment were probably the real Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji. It was the gentle woman who pleaded with the second ancestor Yuan Shu for him Zhang Huang, Zang Ba, Li Tong and others at that time, and it was the one who made his heart move.

[Wait for a while...... So, Cai Yong actually has two daughters? ]

Stunned, Zhang Huang captured the key to the matter. (Historically, Cai Yong did have two daughters.) The eldest daughter Cai Yan doesn't need to say much, the second daughter married Yang Wei, that is, Sima Shi's mother-in-law and Yang Hu's mother. In addition, Cai Yong seems to have a son. However, the author could not find the information, so he gave up. ）

[This world is so small......]

Zhang Huang secretly sighed in his heart, and couldn't help it, he was faintly reluctant to leave like this, although he also knew that Cai Yan at this time was probably married to a guy named Wei Zhongdao in Hedong, and no matter how bad it was, he had a marriage contract with that guy. Moreover, this matter has been confirmed from the mouth of Cai Bo.

In the end, Zhang Huang was still invited by Cai Bo to go with them to the inn where they were ready to settle down and rest.

"Xiaohuo, take some salutes for the uncle."

"Okay!"

took some gifts for Cai Bo and sent them to the inn room where the Cai sisters stayed, during which Zhang Huang finally met Cai Yan, a talented woman who went down in history.

In fact, Cai Yan and her sister look very similar, as if they were carved out of a mold, and even their voices are the same, the only difference is probably only the temperament of the two sisters. As the eldest sister, Cai Yan knew at a glance that she was a model of everyone's beautiful lady, good wife and mother, quiet and knowledgeable, as for her younger sister......

"......" Zhang Huang glanced at Cai's sister who was following him in front and back, staring at him as if she had seen something rare.

"What's your name?" Cai's sister looked at Zhang Huang with a smile and asked.

"Zhang Huo." Zhang Huang lowered his head and replied.

"Where's the man?"

"Julu."

"What are you doing in Julu this time?"

"Go home."

After dozens of questions, Zhang Huang's head sweated, and he muttered in his heart where did such a question come from.

However, Cai Yan seemed to see Zhang Huang's embarrassment, and blamed his sister with some displeasure, "Sister, why do you want to ask this son like this?" ”

"Just ask." The younger sister of the Cai family replied wistfully.

Seeing this, Cai Yan shook his head helplessly, smiled at Zhang Huang and said with a formal smile, "The family education is not strict, so it's a joke for the son." ”

"Wherever I am, I am ...... It's a hitchhiker...... Speaking of which, I would like to thank the two young ladies below. ”

Zhang Huang said curtly, muttering secretly in his heart that he had almost robbed Cai Yan's carriage.

Cai Yan smiled, and then said, "Where, when you go out, giving convenience to others is giving convenience to yourself." A little thing, the son doesn't have to take it to heart. …… Speaking of which, the little woman is also rude. Saying that, she gave a salute and introduced gently, "My sisters are surnamed Cai from their father, and the little woman is the elder, the name Yan and the word Zhaoji, and the little sister is named Wan and the word Ji ......."

"Good name, good name." Zhang Huang nodded and said.

Before the words fell, I saw the second lady Cai Wan smile and said funny, "Tell me, where is this name?" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Huang didn't know this, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.

Cai Yan glanced at her sister Cai Wan helplessly, but saw this little girl looking at Zhang Huang proudly and said, "I don't look like you are a scholar, and you have to pretend to be knowledgeable." Sue sù you too, Yan and Wan, both beautiful jade; Zhao and Zhao, both glorious and gorgeous. …… Remember? ”

"Uh, I wrote it down......" Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after all, it was the first time he was bluntly said by a woman of a similar age that he was uneducated.

"Well, the children can be taught!" Cai Wan looked like a teacher, with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhang Huang and nodding with satisfaction, as if Zhang Huang was her unsuccessful student.

thought that this matter was over, but what Zhang Huang didn't expect was that Cai Wan didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he was so energetic that he surrounded him to find trouble, which made Zhang Huang a little puzzled.

[What's going on with this Miss Cai Er?] Why do you keep targeting me? ]

Zhang Huang muttered in his heart and went back to his room.

It seems that Cai Yan is also a little overwhelmed, and after Zhang Huang left, he blamed his sister and said, "Sister, why do you want to target that Zhang Gongzi like that?" ”

To Cai Yan's surprise, Cai Wan blinked his eyes and said mysteriously, "Sister, don't you think that kid is a little familiar?" As she spoke, she grinned and hummed a tune to tidy up the bed.

Rao is as smart as Cai Yan, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw his sister who was a little abnormal. (To be continued......)
