"Hey." Cai Yong first sighed, and then said: "The situation on the front line is not good, Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital to Chang'an, after all, it is where his power lies." Then he asked us to follow suit. ”

"What? To Chang'an? Why? We're not going. Liu said with a temperament.

"No, is it up to us?" Cai Yong shook his head as he spoke. Helpless, in the face of the imperial master who holds the power of the army, what do you want him to do?

No one wants to leave their homeland, but when things do get to that point, they don't want to.

Cai Yong had just finished talking about Mrs. Liu, and Cai Yan, who had been silent in the corner, stood up, "No, I won't go to Chang'an with you, I'm going to Chen Liu, I'm going to find Zhang Lang." ”

"Daughter, how far away Chen Liu is from Luoyang, and now it is the autumn of troubled times, how can you get to a girl's family."

As soon as Liu's words of advice were finished, Cai Yong also said: "Yes, now that the world outside is in chaos, how can you go to Chen Liu without anyone to protect you?" ”

"No, who said that there is no one to protect, isn't there a Yuelaiju? That's the eyeliner arranged by Zhang Lang, and he told me that he would go there if there was something urgent. Cai Yan said very firmly. became Zhang Chao's fiancée, that is, he would die by the man's side, instead of going to Chang'an, and he would never see each other.

Cai Yong, who knew his daughter's personality well, hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, that's the case, you can go, but it won't work during the day, and I will arrange for a kung fu family to escort you over at night when there are fewer people." ”

Cai Yong compromised, he is so old, he can be regarded as living enough. But her daughter is still young and has a great future, so she really can't just follow herself to a foreign land with no future.

...... ......

At this time, Zhang Lang in Cai Yan's mouth had already arrived in Luoyang City.

What is different from the past is that this time Zhang Chao did not enter the city in white, after all, the outfit was too conspicuous, and he entered here disguised as a businessman. After entering the city, he didn't even go directly to Yuelaiju, but went straight to the bungalow area in the north of the city under the guidance of Wang De, the owner of Yuelaiju.

Most of the people living in the bungalows in the north of the city were businessmen, and some of the smaller officials had their families here, and the security here was relatively good compared to other areas where dragons and snakes were chaotic.

Among them, there is such an inconspicuous and not very large courtyard, in which a young man is resting on a wooden chair.

It was the first month of the year, and the weather was still very cold, but seeing that this person was indeed wearing a thin layer of clothing, this would make the snoring sound of the sky.

Pushing the door in, Zhang Chao took Zhao Yun and Wang De into the courtyard. It's just that Zhang Chao's feet made a little footsteps, and he saw that the young man who was asleep stood up suddenly. As he got up, he reached out and fished it out, and the open sky axe placed in front of him was held in his hands.

"Don't worry, it's me." When Wang De saw the big axe, he was shocked, and at the same time, his footsteps moved forward and appeared in front of the young man.

I saw that the young man was about the same age as Zhao Yun, but he did feel very burly.

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide face, this is the initial impression that this person gave Zhang Chao.

"Brother Wang De, how did you get here?" After recognizing that the person in front of him was the boss of Yuelaiju, who often drank and chatted with him and talked about things in the world, the young man gently put down the axe.

"Gongming, haven't you always wanted to see the second son of our family? I've brought you today, why don't you see you soon? Wang De said as he stepped back, exposing Zhang Chao behind him to the young man's sight.

The two looked at each other, and the young man said: "You are the second son of Chen Liu, who brewed a hero drunk, killed He Yi in the first battle of Changshe, and defeated Zhang Chao, a general of more than 50,000 Bocai troops, with a thousand people?" ”

"It's like a fake. You're Gongming, hehe, you're really a tiger general. Zhang Chao looked at the person in front of him with full appreciation.

To say that although this is the first time the two have met, they have actually been friends for a long time. At least for this person, Wang De did a lot of work in the early stage. First find a way to become friends, and then become good friends and confidants. After everything was completed, he began to talk about Zhang Chao's advantages and advantages by his side every day, and simply called him a saint, which made this young man full of favor and admiration for Zhang Chao. And then there was this meeting today.

In the final analysis, the person who can make Zhang Chaofei so painstakingly recruited will naturally not be unknown, he is one of the five good generals of the Cao Cao Group in history, Xu Huang, who ranks second.

At this time, Xu Huang had not yet made a career, let alone met Cao Cao, but he was just a cavalry lieutenant in the Jingshi moat, an official position that was not big or small.

It's just that unlike other generals, Xu Huang is very knowledgeable and far-sighted. He was in the capital division, so he naturally knew what was happening around him, and he had a premonition of the turmoil in the imperial court in his heart, and he also had a feeling that the world would be chaotic.

It was at this time that Wang De appeared, and with his continuous efforts, he finally formed an infinite good impression of Zhang Chao.

The two sides also said that one day Wang De would introduce Xu Huang to Zhang Chao. It's just that I never thought that it wasn't him who went to visit, but someone else who came to find him.

After knowing that the person in front of him was Zhang Chao, whom he respected for a while, the young man immediately put down the Kaitian axe on the side, and then clasped his hands into fists and said: "A native of Yang County, Hedong, surnamed Xu, named Huang, and known as Gongming." I've seen General Zhang. ”

"Haha, Komeito doesn't have to be so polite. Wang De has already told me about your affairs, I know that you have always been ambitious, and I also have the ambition to help the world, but I lack the assistance of good ministers and fierce generals, I wonder if you are willing to achieve great things with you? Zhang Chao reached out and grabbed Xu Huang's arm, with a very excited expression.

"Akira willing." Xu Huang, who had already been successfully brained, agreed to it.

There is another good general, which makes Zhang Chao excited. At the same time, he also had a hint of understanding, that is, it is easier to collect generals than to find military advisors. As long as these men are sincere, they will be open, not dealing with ministers, but also using a lot of tricks.

Xu Huang accepted Zhang Chao's greeting, and then the two monarchs sat together and talked about the situation in the imperial court.

Xu Huang admired some of Zhang Chao's foresight after listening to it, and felt that this time he had really found a master who could do great things.

Zhang Chao also learned some secrets from Xu Huang's mouth that happened in Beijing, and also inquired about the fact that the imperial court might move the capital to Chang'an under Dong Zhuo's control, and of course, there were some secrets that were not well known, such as Dong Zhuo's order to loot the royal mausoleum and the tomb of the princess and collect all the treasures.

The conversation between the two lasted from afternoon to evening, and there was a feeling of hating each other.

...... ......

Joy Residence.

Under the protection of the family, Cai Yan abandoned the sedan chair and came to Yuelaiju.

It's just a pity that I didn't find Wang De, and I heard the guys in the store say that the shopkeeper went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet.

didn't see Wang De, Cai Yan didn't give up, and she decided to wait here in a long skirt. She is a strong-willed person, and she has the intention of not seeing anyone and swearing not to return.

Several of the people in the store are members of Tianyan, and they know that the beautiful woman in front of them is the future wife of the second son, and they dare not slack off at the moment, in addition to serving hot tea, they also strengthen protection.

At night, when the moon hung high in the sky, Wang De rushed back. Of course, he was accompanied by Zhang Chao and Zhao Yun and several Jinyi guards.

As soon as he returned to the store, a subordinate immediately came to report Cai Yan's incident in the backyard.

When Wang De heard that Cai Yan was coming, he was also panicked, and hurriedly reported to Zhang Chao behind him, "Second son, Mrs. is here, but I don't know what happened to her." ”

"Oh, Yan'er is here, I wonder if she has been here before?" Zhang Chao couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard that Cai Yan was also here, and he missed this talented woman when he was still there.

"No, this is the first time Madame has come, so there must be something important." Wang De shook his head. In the past, he hadn't even seen what Cai Yan looked like. just sent people to stare outside Cai's mansion to secretly protect himself.

"Well, even if you haven't seen her, you should go and see what is going on with her. I just changed my clothes first. Looking at the ordinary gray robe on his body, Zhang Chao smiled.

"No." After Wang De agreed, he led Zhang Chao to change his clothes, and he walked towards the backyard under the guidance of his subordinates.

When the moon was in the sky, Cai Yan, who was wearing a long skirt, stood in the courtyard, looking at the moon with her head held high, thinking of Zhang Chao in her heart. He said that he would be there when he was in danger, so where is he now?

Wang De came to the courtyard and saw this scene. At first, I was attracted by the slender background.

Fortunately, he quickly figured out that this was the future wife of the second son, so he quickly stabilized his mind, and then coughed lightly.

As soon as there was a voice from Wang De's side, Cai Yan hurriedly turned around, and when he turned around and saw the man in his thirties in front of him, he immediately asked, "Who are you?" ”

"If Mrs. Hui is the one, the younger one is Wang De." replied respectfully, not even daring to look at Cai Yan more.

"You are Wang De, the steward of this Yuelaiju? Do you know who I am? "Cai Yan doesn't trust people so easily, if the person in front of him is really Zhang Lang's subordinate, then he should definitely know his identity.
