Chapter 285: The Fish and the Bear's Paw
It's just that he doesn't know that Liu Ze knows everything about the history and characters of the Three Kingdoms, and a top strategist like him can't ask for it, so he won't let Liu Ze die happily if he is automatically sent to the door, and it will not be a problem to be reused in the future.
At that moment, Liu Ze led Xu Shu to meet Cai Yong and others, and everyone talked happily and talked with each other. During the banquet, Liu Ze affirmed Xu Shu's strategy to hide from the world and prepare to implement it, and finally decided that Xiao Wolf, the commander of the Jinying Guard Action Department, would command the hundred-man team to go south to Jingzhou, especially from among the hundreds of people, select a personal guard who looks and has a little bit of Xiao like Liu Ze, put on Liu Ze's clothes, and pretended to be Liu Ze's appearance, while the carriage in which Cai Yong's family rode was strictly covered and mixed in the team. The whole team was neither ostentatious nor hidden, maintaining the original speed of travel, and after crossing the river from Xiaopingjin, it advanced in the direction of Nanyang through Luoyang.
Liu Ze instructed Xiao Wolf not to march in a hurry every day, and the time to reach the border of Jingzhou must be after ten days, remember not to enter Jingzhou, and after arriving at the border of Jingzhou, immediately break into pieces, disband the team, and return to the plain in batches. Liu Ze estimated that Xiao Wolf had almost returned to the plain on his side when he arrived at the border of Jingzhou, and as for how the personnel of the Jinying Guard would get out of trouble, he didn't have to worry about this, these well-trained team members did it like a piece of cake.
After Xiao Wolf left, only Liu Ze, Zhao Yun, Pan Feng, Xu Shu and Cai Yong's family were hidden at the Xiaopingjin Ferry, and after three or four days, it is estimated that the news that "Liu Ze" went south to Jingzhou has reached Yuan Shao's ears, and a group of more than ten people left Xiaopingjin by boat and sailed east along the Yellow River.
As Xu Shu expected, when the boat entered the Jizhou River section. There was no blockade on the Yellow River, or the blockade had been withdrawn, except for a few official ships passing by, there was hardly any figure of Jizhou soldiers along the way, and no one came out to investigate.
It was already three watches when he arrived in Pingyuan City, and Liu Ze ordered not to alarm anyone, so Pan Feng personally went to open the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city naturally recognized Pan Feng. But I was speechless in surprise. Pan Feng ordered them to be silent, and Liu Ze and his party of more than ten people quietly entered the city and returned to the Taishou Mansion.
After arranging the accommodation of Cai Yong's family, the fourth watch is about to be handed over. Liu Ze squinted for a while. It's still five watches to get up. After practicing the sword, the sky was already bright.
The news of Liu Ze's return to the city still spread far and wide, early in the morning. Lu Zhi, Jia Xu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others all came over, and they didn't bother to pass the communication, so they directly broke into Liu Ze's back hall in a noisy manner.
"Big brother, what kind of fame are you doing, as soon as you leave us, you will become a moon, but you want to mess with me."
Liu Ze had just finished washing, and he was happy when he heard this familiar loud voice, don't you say, he has been out for more than a month, and his ears are clean, but his heart is a little deserted.
"Third brother, second brother, Wen He, Xianhe, you are all here, please come in, please come in. Teacher Lu, you are also here, it should be the disciple who went over to ask for peace. Liu Ze greeted the people who rushed in one by one.
Zhang Fei still kept shouting: "Big brother, you have been gone for a month, why did you make such a big move, the court rewarded you with a wanted warrant that was actually posted at the gate of Pingyuan City, and I beat the short-sighted official in a fit of anger." You said that you didn't say a word when you left, we are still not brothers, brothers have blessings and hardships, big brother, have you forgotten our oath. β
"That's okay, it's just that this time I'm going to Chang'an to save people, not to rush into battle, with your third brother, you can't do this with your personality and temper." Liu Ze said to him with a smile.
Guan Yu, Jia Xu, and Jian Yong stepped forward to greet each other, and their concern was overflowing, and Liu Ze returned the salute one by one.
Seeing Lu Zhi, Liu Zecai suddenly remembered something and said in a low voice: "Teacher, has the matter of giving a dowry to the Zhen family not yet taken place?" β
Lu Zhi mistakenly thought that Liu Ze was urging this matter, and said with a slight smile: "You can rest assured, this matter will be completed a few days earlier, Runde, you can wait to be the groom's official with peace of mind." β
Liu Ze had a black line on his head, secretly screaming badly, he had already made a lifelong agreement with Cai Yan when he was at the mouth of the pot, and Liu Ze, who was immersed in pleasure and happiness, had already thrown the matter of a fiancΓ©e who had never met in the plain to the country of Claw, and only remembered this when he saw Lu Zhi when he came back. There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, and Lu Zhi hadn't gone to the dowry yet, but Lu Zhi's answer made his heart suddenly cold in half. Thinking that Lu Zhi was extremely concerned about this matter, after the dowry was fully prepared, he chose an auspicious day of the zodiac and personally went to Qinghe Zhen's house to give this family affair, and the marriage was completed when Liu Ze came back.
Liu Ze was complaining in his heart, he didn't know how to explain to Cai Yan, he knew that he could eventually become a family member with Cai Yan, why did he bother to mention anything to the Zhen family? Liu Ze's intestines are repentant at the moment, to be honest, Liu Ze has never even seen Zhen Mi's face, what kind of feelings do you talk about, Cai Yan is different, she has always been the object of Liu Ze's affection, for many years, Liu Ze has always been in love with her, this time he went to Chang'an in danger, isn't it just to save the beauty of the hero?
But the Zhen family's side is the dowry of the three media and six certificates, and they are about to repent of their marriage just after they have decided on their marriage, so with Liu Ze's current status, he should not be spurned by thousands of people. What to do? What to do? What to do? Liu Ze was completely messy.
"The lord's face is not very good, presumably because of the fatigue of the boat, I will wait for the right and step down, please rest the lord, and then set up a banquet in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust for the lord." Jian Yong saw Liu Ze's face pale and thought it was caused by the hard work of running all the way.
The crowd did not bother and retired one after another.
Liu Ze called out to Lu Zhi and said, "Teacher, slow down, the disciple still has something to ask." β
"What's the matter with Runde?"
Liu Ze took a deep breath and decided to no longer be indecisive, emotional matters are often cut and unorganized, and what he can do now is to cut through the mess quickly. The promise made by Liu Ze by the Yellow River is still in his ears, how can he betray this relationship, even if he bears more infamy!
"Teacher, can the Zhen family get rid of the marriage contract?"
Lu Zhi was dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out what Liu Ze was singing, he didn't promise it before leaving, or he wouldn't dare to propose to the Zhen family on his own, so he changed his hexagram as soon as he came back, do you think this is a game of family?
"Runde, how can marriage be child's play, you are ......"
Liu Ze no longer concealed it, and explained to Lu Zhi the purpose of going west to Chang'an this time and proposing to Cai Yan by the Yellow River.
Lu Zhi listened quietly, his frowning brows stretched slightly, and he sighed: "I have seen Yan's niece, she is talented and unparalleled, but she only sighs that she is ill-fated and unsuitable." However, with her current widowhood, she is not suitable to be Runde's wife. β
Liu Ze said with a firm gaze: "Although Miss Zhen is beautiful and virtuous, I have made up my mind, in this life and this life, I will not marry Yan'er, so I can only say sorry to the Zhen family." β
Lu Zhi frowned, sighed and said: "The matter of divorce is not trivial, Runde, you have to think about it carefully, once you withdraw from the marriage, your reputation will definitely be greatly affected." Moreover, the Zhen family is a prominent family in Hebei, if the marriage can be successful, it will definitely be able to get the full support of the Zhen family, which will be beneficial to the future. β
"Teacher, whether it is fame or status, these things are not what the disciples want. Three thousand weak water, only take one scoop to drink, can get Yan'er as a wife, it is already the luck of my three lives, what more can my husband ask for, I will no longer consider the rest. β
"Is there really no room for manoeuvre in this matter?"
Liu Ze nodded and said: "Teacher, I have made up my mind, I can't live up to Yan'er in this life no matter what, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, fortunately, I am only engaged to Miss Zhen and have not yet married, even if I withdraw from the marriage, it will not affect too much." β
"Where's the uncle? Looks like I'll have to talk to him about it. Lu Zhi asked.
"Master Cai has been traveling all the way, and he only rested in the middle of the night yesterday, and he has not yet gotten up at this time, if the teacher wants to meet, he will definitely be able to meet at the dinner. However, I don't think it's appropriate to discuss this matter with Master Cai, and I'll make up my own mind. Come on, pass Jian Yong over. Liu Ze ordered someone to summon Jian Yong.
Jian Yong soon came and arched his hand: "What does the lord command?" β
"Xianhe, you go to the Zhen family and return the marriage contract between me and Miss Zhen, and try to be as tactful as possible, after all, this matter is our fault, no matter what compensation conditions the Zhen family proposes, you should come down." Liu Ze commanded.
Although it was Lu Zhi and Jian Yong who went when they proposed marriage, Liu Ze couldn't trouble Lu Zhi anymore no matter how he divorced, and with Lu Zhi's status and status, he couldn't hold it on his face.
Jian Yong was also stunned, divorced? Isn't it just a few days since the dowry was made, what is the lord doing?
Liu Ze briefly said that he had already made a marriage with Cai Yan, so the family affairs on the Zhen family's side must be withdrawn, Jian Yong suddenly realized and took the order.

"Miss, I heard that my uncle has returned to the plains." Yahuan Qing'er trotted all the way to Zhen Mi's boudoir, and said up and down.
Zhen Mi was sitting on the couch in a trance, her curved willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and as soon as she heard Qing'er's words, she stood up and said in surprise: "Really? β
"Of course it can't be faked, Zhen Fu saw it with his own eyes in Plains City, and he came back to report the letter. If my uncle can come back safely this time, Miss will no longer have to worry about it every day. β
"Phew, what kind of aunt and uncle, the mouth is not covered, besides, who worries every day? Don't talk about it. A hint of blush appeared on Zhen Mi's fair face, and she gently reprimanded.
Qing'er smiled and said, "Miss is about to pass through the door, are you still so shy?" You said that you don't worry, you don't think about tea and food every day, you always look out the window and look out, aren't you thinking about who else can your uncle think? β
"I ...... I'm afraid of eating fat! (To be continued......)
