261, the night of Chang'an
PS: Ask for subscriptions and tips.
Chang'an, which was at night, was not calm.
Gaomen Mansion, through the thick night, you can see the word Cai Mansion clearly.
"Are they gone?" A middle-aged man with a handsome face and a fine crown spoke.
"Gone." Cai, the chief butler of the Cai Mansion, shook his head and said, "An hour ago, I was out of the city. ”
The middle-aged man with a handsome appearance was Cai Yong, the owner of the Cai Mansion, and when he heard what Cai said, he shook his head and said, "I have a hunch that they should not have left Chang'an yet." ”
Cai's waist lowered a little, and said, "Why don't you go over and take a look in person?" ”
"No need" Cai Yong shook his head: "If you get close to Shizhang with your skills, you will definitely be discovered, don't go, the province will be misunderstood that you and I have evil intentions." ”
Hearing this, Cai nodded slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said again: "According to the subordinates, that group of people not only visited our Cai Mansion, but also Situ Huang Mansion and Sikong Yang Mansion also went on a trip. ”
When Cai Yong heard this, his brows frowned slightly: "It seems that what they are trying to do is not small, so they will immediately order to go down and open the middle door, and the master is ready to entertain guests in the living room." ”
When Cai heard this, he was stunned in his heart, it's so late, and he still has to entertain guests?
"If you're stunned, go and do it right away, your guest should be coming soon." Cai Yong urged.
Cai ordered to hear this, so he nodded and bowed his head and left.
Soon, the two carriages stopped in front of Cai's mansion at night.
One before and one after the other, the difference is only five or six minutes.
A man with good manners came down from the front and back.
The beautiful beard hangs down the chest, and the brocade robe is dressed. With the support of their cronies, their feet fell to the ground.
Outside Cai's mansion, Cai's life was already waiting with the crowd.
Four or five clever little servants of Caifu, I heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar, this time I looked closely, and I was shocked, this is not a small person, not to mention the Sikong Yang Biao who is equivalent to Liuqing, and Huang Wan, who got off the car a little slower, is not simple, this is a figure who ranks among the three princes. Compare it to. The master of his own family is just a scholar, and the difference in status is a little distance.
Situ Huangwan and Sikong Yang Biao have always had a good relationship with Cai Yong, and they visit the house from time to time. And late at night visits. It's the first time.
The two Lords came. But when he saw Cai Liming greet him, he said, "I've seen two adults." ”
"It's the housekeeper." Yang Biao's eyes were better than Huang Wan's, with a hazy lantern light. At a glance, he recognized Cai Liming who came up.
Cai Liming has an outstanding status in Cai's Mansion, although he is a housekeeper, but he is far better than ordinary henchmen, Yang Biao Huang Wan has a close relationship with Cai Yong, and naturally knows Cai's status in Cai's Mansion.
Huang Wan also nodded at Cai Liming, but stroked his beautiful beard a little reservedly, smiling without saying a word.
"My master is already waiting in the hall, two adults, please." Cai Liming smiled heartily, made a gesture of guidance, and welcomed Yang Biao and Huang Wan in.
Cai Yong was indeed already waiting in the hall, dressed neatly, with a solemn demeanor, the table had been listed, and the little girl had already been retired.
Yang Biao and Huang Wan stepped into the living room under Cai's fateful guidance.
Cai Yong hurriedly got up to greet him.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Cai Yong walked up with a smile.
"You're welcome." Huang Wan said with a smile.
Cai ordered to turn around and leave, and he was not suitable to appear there for the conversation of several adults.
Cai Yong welcomes guests with the main guest, and naturally sits in the first place.
Huang Wan was the first guest, followed by Yang Biao.
Don't underestimate this ranking order, but it's a university question.
How to arrange it clearly and satisfy the guests, there are really a lot of ways.
After the two of them were seated, it was late at night, and none of them had much interest in drinking.
But Cai Yong said knowingly: "Huang Situ and Yang Sikong came to visit late at night, what happened?" ”
Huang Wan and Yang Biao glanced at each other, their faces a little solemn.
"Uncle, let's open the skylight and say something, this morning, has Chen Gongtai visited Cai's mansion?" Yang Biao was more anxious, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately said quickly.
Although Huang Wan didn't speak, his eyes looked straight at Cai Yong, looking determined.
Cai Yong didn't mean to hide it, nodded, nodded slightly, and said, "I've been here." ”
"Okay." This time, it was Huang Wan who spoke: "Since Chen Gongtai has the ability to sneak into Chang'an without hiding Dong Zhuo's minions, there will also be a way to leave Chang'an silently, right?" ”
When Cai Yong and Yang Biao heard this, their hearts shook slightly.
"You mean..."Cai Yong's face changed.
"That's right," Huang Wan's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Now that the forces of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry have been invested in the state, it is the best moment for us to rescue His Majesty from Dong Zhuo's clutches. ”
The atmosphere in the hall stagnated slightly, leaving only the three of them slowly breathing heavily.
"Is Yuan Shang credible?" Although Yang Biao is more anxious, he is not without brains, so he exhaled a breath of turbid air and said.
"Haven't you heard of what this man is doing in the state?"
When Huang Wan and Cai Yong heard this, they were a little silent.
"It's you and I who decide, and that side won't let us do that." seemed to think of something, but saw Cai Yong's face on the first seat slightly pale.
Hearing that Cai Yong said 'that side', Huang Wan and Yang Biao were both in their hearts.
"Is there only a missed opportunity?" Huang Wan said helplessly.
"Or, we can ask Your Majesty's opinion." Cai Yong said.
"What's the use of asking Your Majesty? How old is he? How to make decisions for yourself. ”
Yang Biao said a little anxiously, patted the table with his palm, and then said with some hatred: "I only know how to immerse myself in calligraphy and painting and flirt with monkeys and dogs all day long, and I don't worry that this country will be taken by foreign thieves, which is really annoying to me." ”
Hearing this, Cai Yong shook his head, glanced at Huang Wan, and his eyes flashed a hint of discoloration, but he didn't say anything.
seemed to think of something, but saw Huang Wan asking, "Do you think Chen Gongtai is really gone?" ”
Cai Yong and Yang Biao shook their heads, and Cai Yong responded: "It should still be in the city." ”
"What is he going to do?" Huang Wan frowned slightly.
"Wait for someone." Yang Biao and Cai Yong spoke tacitly.
"She?" Huang Wan said with some uncertainty.
"That's right." Cai Yong's tone was slightly deep.
"The reason why Chen Gongtai was able to get out of Wang Yun's matter was because that person helped him, and now that he has entered the state as Yuan Shang's staff, he will naturally talk to her, after all, there is a trace of affection."
Yang Biao continued: "Chen Gongtai, don't say anything else, there is a reward for gratitude, this time, in addition to coming to meet you and me on behalf of Yuan Shang, it is also to repay the cause and effect of that time, and it can be regarded as drawing a clear line with you and me." ”
When Huang Wan heard this, he sighed lightly: "Chen Gongtai has great talents, and when he left Chang'an, he was looking for that glimmer of vitality for the Han family, could it be that the vitality he worked so hard to find was Yuan Shang?" ”
Cai Yong and Yang Biao shook their heads, their expressions a little gloomy.
"No matter what, the safety of His Majesty is the top priority, although Dong Zhuo has relaxed his vigilance against you and me recently, he has in turn strengthened the monitoring of His Majesty, there must be a way to rescue His Majesty first." Yang Biao said in a deep voice.
"That side hasn't moved for so many years, is that person really hard-hearted?" Cai Yong said angrily with his eyes.
"Uncle, be cautious." Huang Wan glanced around with some trepidation and said in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of?" Yang Biao was also a little dissatisfied: "There is a strong force in the air, but it is hidden and does not move, if it weren't for you and I who are defenseless in our hands, we would have already protected Your Majesty and left Chang'an, how could we still give Dong Zhuo a chance to take advantage of." ”
When Huang Wan heard this, he suddenly sighed, and said a little depressed: "Now that Your Majesty is in danger, you and I can't tolerate the slightest mistake, especially Wen Xian, Dong Zhuo has already had murderous intent towards you, the reason why he couldn't hold back and didn't do anything at the beginning was because His Majesty pretended to faint and then gave up. ”
When Yang Biao heard this, his face was not angry, but he never refuted, two months ago he refuted Dong Zhuo's mansion in court and built it in violation of regulations, and was almost cut by Dong Zhuo's order, if it weren't for the little emperor Liu Xie pretending to faint and attracting Dong Zhuo's attention, thinking about it, Yang Biao would have been splashed with blood on the spot.
Cai Yong was silent for a moment and said, "Since Chen Gongtai and his party haven't left yet, why don't you cooperate with them?" ”
"Cooperation?" Huang Wan's face moved: "This is a good choice." ”
"But, what qualifications do we have to cooperate with Yuan Shang?" Yang Biao pointed out an unusually realistic problem.
"Yes." Huang Wan exhaled and said in a deep voice.
When Cai Yong and Yang Biao heard this, they both looked at Huang Wan with some doubts.
But Huang Wan didn't mean anything he wanted to say.
He didn't want to say it, even if he broke the casserole and asked in the end, he couldn't get a result.
This is what Cai Yong and Yang Biao, who have been friends with for many years, know about Huang Wan.
So, they didn't ask much.
Huang Wan wants to say it, and he will say it one day.
The two carriages came quickly, but they were also fast.
The darker the night, the huge Chang'an City, there was some commotion. (To be continued......)
