Cai Yan was in the Wei family and stayed very unsatisfactorily.

She is only seventeen years old, but her identity is already a widow who has lost her husband, and the whole person is like a flower bone, before it opens, she has been in the ice and snow, and there is a withered jiashi.

The Hedong Wei family is a famous local family, of course, they will not do anything that violates etiquette, and they will not expel Cai Yan from the house, but in the huge Wei Mansion, wherever Cai Yan goes, she can feel the eyes of the maids and maids who secretly bet on her, with curiosity and suspicion, but it is an intriguing inquiry, which makes her very hurt, zuihou In order to avoid suspicion, she stays in the small courtyard where she lives all day long, and rarely goes out, isolating herself, thinking that she can avoid those unnecessary troubles.

However, to her surprise, the gossip continued, and even worse, it was rumored that there was some inconsistency between her and her deceased husband's brother.

God is pitiful, since she married into the Wei family, she has been serving her husband Wei Zhongdao, during which her brother Wei Kai has visited from time to time, this is human nature, how can it be passed on like this?

At this time, Cai Yan had to admit that as the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and if she stays in the Wei family, it is not only her reputation and integrity, but also the reputation of the Wei family in Hedong, I am afraid that she will be implicated.

Whether the rumors came from outside the house or inside the house is actually impossible to test, Cai Yan only knows that in Anyi, Hedong, he wants to see the jokes of the Wei family, but there are many people, and now there is finally such a good thing that can slander the Wei family, how can it not be played well.

"Miss, are we really going back to Luoyang?"

The personal maid Cai Qian, who has followed Cai Yan since she was a child, is only two years younger than her, she has never treated Cai Qian as a maid, hearing Cai Qian ask like this, although she just asked, but there was a joy in her tone.

Cai Yan retracted his reverie, nodded at Cai Qian, "um", and said in a low voice: "I have given Mrs. and Mrs. Tai today, they have all agreed, hurry up and prepare, and leave tomorrow." ”

"Ah, in such a hurry?"

Cai Qian was taken aback and exclaimed in a low voice, she only knew that her young lady had always mentioned to her wife and Mrs. Tai about returning to Luoyang, but she had never done so, so why should she be in such a hurry now.

Cai Yan turned her head to look out the window, the sun on the winter afternoon shone on the empty branches in the courtyard, casting a piece of warmth, reminding her of her father, I wonder if he could see such warm sunshine in Luoyang Prison.

Seeing that the young lady didn't answer, just sat there, staring out the window in a daze, Cai Qian didn't ask any more, quietly went out, and hurriedly greeted the maid and maid, ready to go.

Cai Yan is wearing plain dark clothes, her face is not powdered, her hair is full of long hair, and she is just tied casually with a silk scarf, which makes her even more elegant and elegant, quiet and virtuous, but she is talented no matter what, how to know how to be knowledgeable, after all, she is only a seventeen-year-old girl, her figure is not fully opened, and she is still green, just like a flower bone that has not yet opened.

Especially after hearing that her father was imprisoned, her worries were always showing on her delicate and beautiful face, and at this moment, her eyes were slightly red, and she was full of tears, eager to have wings on her back, and flew to Luoyang and her father at once.

Early the next morning, Cai Yan got up early, freshened up, and went to say goodbye to Mrs. Tai and Mrs., that is, boarded the carriage that prepared Haode, and waited for the car to go with tears under their reluctance.

When the carriage started, the tears in Cai Yan's eyes finally came out, she didn't dare to lift the curtain and look back, but was in the car, crying so silently.

She didn't notice that at the same time as the carriage started, two people galloped to the corner, stepped on the horses that had been prepared for a long time, and galloped away.

After a while, the news that Cai Yan had left the Wei Mansion and went to Luoyang had already reached the ears of Lu Bu, who was also the commander of the Guannei Hou Zhenbei and the state pastor, making his eyes suddenly glow with a strange look, and he whispered: "Okay, it's finally out." ”

Cai Yan's heart was like an arrow, and five carriages slipped away, and under her urging, they quickly whipped their horses, and at dusk, they had already rushed to the salt prison fifty miles away from Anyi.

The salt supervisor is the name of the imperial court official, and is a small official who is specially stationed here to supervise the drying of salt, and the place is named after the salt pond.

Cai Yan sat in the carriage for a day, and when he just got off the carriage, his feet were numb, and he almost stumbled and fell.

"Miss, be careful!"

Cai Qian also had soreness in her feet, and after getting off the ground, she still felt that the earth was shaking from side to side, and she had the heart to take a step forward to support Miss Cai Yan, which made her feet soft, ouch, half fell to the ground, her big eyes were full of tears, and her small mouth was pouted, and she almost cried.

Fortunately, there are several servant women in the line, all of whom are doing rough work, compared to Cai Yan and Cai Qian, their physique is much stronger, and they are busy stepping forward to help Cai Qian, and joked with a smile: "Miss, you should be careful, your skin is delicate and tender, not as thick as us, you have been in a carriage for a day, and your blood is not smooth, but you have to rest well and soak your feet in hot water." ”

Cai Qian didn't know this, endured the pain, with tears in her eyes, "oh", held the servant's arm, followed Miss Cai Yan, and went to the inn.

Rest, soak your feet, rest, and say nothing for the night.

It's just that the sky is just dawning, and the tranquility of the morning is broken by a burst of thunder, Cai Yan and his party have had breakfast and are about to set off, when they see this, they look at each other, not knowing what happened.

After a while, even the ground seemed to be trembling slightly, and outside the town, screams came and went, causing everyone to stand on tiptoe and desperately look out of the town.

At this moment, many of the merchants who had left the town earlier turned back, panicked, and shouted: "The thieves are coming, the thieves are coming!" ”

"Thieves?"

Cai Yan and his entourage were mostly female dependents, and their faces were pale when they heard the words, and several male servants who accompanied them reacted quickly, they were all born to the Cai family who came to marry, and they were busy urging everyone to get into the car, and then turned the horse's head and drove the carriage towards the road.

This is dozens of miles away from Anyi, no matter how arrogant the thieves are, they won't dare to chase after Anyi, they thought.

In just a moment, the people who had the same idea as them gathered into a stream of people, screaming all the way, and fled in the direction of Anyi.

It was not any thief soldiers who came, but the newly promoted Shan Yufuluo of the Southern Huns, and the 1,500 elite horsemen under his command. He was originally mixed with the white wave thief Guo Tai, but this time he joined forces with the Xiliang army, broke through Luoyang, and got the reward of the imperial court for his merits, and hurriedly bid farewell to Li Dao Guo Tai, wanting to lead the army back to Meiji and recapture the tribe that belonged to him.

Yu Fuluo's control of the Southern Xiongnu is also a good thing for Li Dao and Guo Tai who have entered Luoyang, and it is also a good thing to have one more foreign aid, so although they all know in their hearts that at this time, it is inevitable to let Yu Fuluo lead the elite to leave Luoyang and plunder and harass the prefectures and counties along the way, but after all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so they still let it go generously.

Yu Fuluo was still very discerning, and it was not until he entered Hedong County that he began to reveal his true nature, and the soldiers plundered all the way. His command was full of elite cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and the soldiers of the counties often had not had time to gather, and he had already led the army to flee like a gust of wind.

This time I came to the salt pond, just to fancy the lake salt here, this thing, at a glance, is inconspicuous, but in fact, it has always been a sought-after commodity, even if you have money in your hand, there is no price.

Looking at the panicked town in front of him, and the smoke and dust rolling up behind the town, Yu Fuluo held the horse whip, proudly hahadaxiao, pointed the horse whip in his hand, and ordered without looking back: "Leopard, these people who escaped, I will leave it to you, pay attention, you must catch it alive, here are all business travelers, bring it back, redeem the money, but it is indispensable." ”

Liu Bao is Yu Fuluo's eldest son, only fifteen years old, but he is already tall and brave, and what is even more strange is that his face is full of thick beards, no different from adult men.

Got the order of his father, Liu Bao's face was full of excitement, roared, galloped out, and behind him, hundreds of horses galloped to follow, all of them shouted excitedly, and they were full of joy.

"Brother Wang, it's only fifty miles away from Anyi here, and I don't know if Lu Bu has left, let's still"

Yu Fuluo waved his hand to interrupt his brother's words to call Chuquan, waved his hand disapplaudedly, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, Lu Bu is the pastor of Bingzhou, and he should have left Hedong a long time ago, and even if he is here, he is doing the same work as me, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, and I am afraid that he will do something." Hurry up, try to catch those alive, and those who dare to resist will be killed with one knife! ”

He was eager to try it after him, and now he got the order, and immediately rushed his horses into the town.

At this time, Liu Bao had already led the elite cavalry to catch up with the fleeing people, and a group of elite horsemen galloped around the panicked and chaotic people, shouting loudly, which made the people who had already been frightened at a loss, like headless flies, wandering around.

Liu Bao didn't move, his eyes fell on the several carriages inside through the flying dust. His eyes were vicious, and he could see at a glance that these carriages were different from other carriages, and even at this time, the people in the carriages still did not show up, so there was only one reason, it was a woman sitting in the carriage, or a woman with an unusual status.

His eyes were cold, and with a wave of his hand, all the elite horsemen immediately stopped galloping, but they were still firmly surrounded by horses, carrying swords, and their faces were fierce.

The people who were surrounded were tightly huddled, Liu Bao drove forward, everywhere, the people hurriedly avoided, just a moment later, he came to the locked carriage, handed out the spear in his hand, lifted the curtain, immediately breathed tightly, the whole body stiffened.

At the same time as he looked over, the person in the car looked over with a panic, but even so, beautiful and elegant, quiet and virtuous, it was still visible at a glance, especially the panic at this time, which showed that this woman was very moving, and I felt pity.
