Chapter Ninety-Eight: Entering Cai Yong's Mansion at Night
A teenage girl, with her long hair hanging down at the head of the bed, looked very nervous, Zhang Bin sighed and whispered:
"I'm sorry, I'm here to find someone, as long as you don't make a sound, I won't cover your mouth, okay?"
The little girl thought she had met that wolf just now, but she was finally a lot more relaxed when she heard Zhang Bin's gentle words, she hurriedly nodded, and Zhang Bin let go of his hand and asked in a low voice:
"This is Lord Cai Yongcai's mansion, right?"
The girl nodded, and Zhang Bin breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Can you take me to see Master Cai? I have something important to look for him. ”
When she heard that she was actually looking for Cai Yong, the girl looked at Zhang Bin's looming face after the moonlight penetrated outside the window, thought about it, and then nodded and said:
"What are you looking for my father?"
"Your father, are you Cai Yan?" Zhang Bin said in a low voice.
"What's strange, I'm Cai Yan." The little girl smiled when she saw Zhang Bin's surprise and said.
Zhang Bin shook his head, he didn't know Cai Yan, let alone how old she was, and when he saw a teenage girl, he didn't expect that he actually got into Cai Yan's room.
Cai Yan suddenly fixed her eyes on Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin didn't react after looking at it for a while, and then the little girl said shyly:
"Childe, please turn around and avoid it."
Zhang Bin's old face turned red, it turned out that this little girl was going to wear clothes, he hurriedly turned around, and after a sound of Suosuo, Cai Yan lowered his head and snickered and said:
"Father's room is next door, I'll take you to meet him, don't alarm the people in the front yard."
Zhang Bin followed Cai Yan to the door next door, Cai Yan knocked on the door, and heard a deep voice inside say:
"Who?"
"Father, it's Yan'er, there are guests looking for you." Cai Yan said softly.
After the fire flickered in the room, an oil lamp was lit, and then a faint light came from inside, and when the door opened, an old man frowned and looked at Zhang Bin, who was holding the Lingyun Sword in his hand, and asked with a little dissatisfaction:
"Who are you? What is the matter with entering Cai's mansion in the middle of the night to find the old man? ”
Zhang Bin hugged his fists and saluted, and after Cai Yong dodged away and let him and Cai Yan enter the house, he said lightly:
"In Xia Zhang Bin Zhang Changkong, Tian is the general of Zhenbei, and this time I came to look for Lord Cai, it was just because I learned a bad news;
Yesterday, I defeated Lu Bu at the Tiger Prison Pass, and I learned from the general that Dong Zhuo had ordered that tomorrow he would take the emperor and the civil and military officials hostage, plus the entire people around Luoyang to Chang'an, and planned to burn Luoyang City to cut off everyone's back road.
Zhang Bin heard that Lord Cai collected thousands of ancient books, and he was still a contemporary Confucian, so he didn't want to be held hostage by Dong Zhuo, and he didn't want so many ancient books to be burned, so he came to report, if the adults have a heart, please bury the ancient scrolls quickly, and then set off when our army arrives.
Of course, my lord and Miss Cai Yan will definitely send you out of Luoyang, so that you will not be affected by the chaos of war, I don't know what Lord Cai thinks? ”
Zhang Bin's real purpose is the thousands of ancient scrolls, since Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, there are fewer and fewer classics of the hundred schools of thought, and when the Han Dynasty in turn respected Confucianism and suppressed the hundred schools, many classics were destroyed;
Cai Yong's study involves a wide range of studies, whether it is Legalism, soldiers, Mohists or Zongheng and so on, there are many academic studies, and there are not a few unique fragments and rare classics in the collection, Zhang Bin plans to get these things in his hands, and then in his own territory, hundreds of schools of thought will contend, and Confucianism will never be allowed to dominate the people's thoughts.
If Cai Yong is unwilling, maybe Zhang Bin will be rude or wait for the arson to rob him, anyway, he doesn't care so much whether this old man is dead or alive.
Cai Yong was stunned when he heard this, the person in front of him was actually Zhang Bin, who was rumored to have almost killed Lu Bu during the day and fought with the immortals, he looked at Zhang Bin carefully, he suddenly nodded and said:
"It's actually General Zhenbei, the old man is rude, if what you said is true, how can the old man be so alone, those classics can't be burned by the war, and the little girl can't be implicated because of the war;
The old man will rush to Yang Ci's mansion and inform the ministers and the emperor of Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, and he must not be allowed to act so recklessly. ”
Zhang Bin smiled, he stopped Cai Yong, who wanted to leave as he spoke, and said:
"Lord Cai, Dong Zhuo has a large army, what do the emperor's ministers have with you? He is no longer afraid of the charge of holding the emperor hostage, if you stand in the way, there will be only one result, that is, you will be cut off and thrown into the fire, and you will have nothing but a good name;
Zhang Bin is a vulgar general, but I know what it means to advance and retreat, take a step back and open the sky, Dong Zhuo has our own responsible contributions, Cai Dawen is the world's best, or cultivating more talents is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the world, and dying in vain is just a waste of what you have learned. ”
Cai Yong's face changed, he sighed and nodded and said:
"In that case, I have the books hidden in the cellar."
Cai Yong knows what power is, but unfortunately his personality is straightforward and simple, if he continues, he still has to accompany Dong Zhuo to the funeral, Zhang Bin said this, with his knowledge, he instantly understood what to do.
Watching several family members send a package of bamboo slips packed in cloth bags to the cellar, Zhang Bin touched his chin and looked around, and after half an hour, the family members were dismissed, and Cai Yong and Cai Yan began to pack up their simple bags.
Zhang Bin walked around the cellar and left, no one knew that he had gotten all those ancient scrolls into the dimensional warehouse, after Cai Yong and Cai Yan came out, after thinking about it, Zhang Bin squatted down and said to Cai Yan:
"Miss Yan, I want to take you away with my own ability, Lord Cai, I can help you, I'll leave with you on my back."
Cai Yan's face turned red, but Zhang Bin didn't think that Cai Yan was twelve or thirteen years old, and he could already marry someone in this era, just like many emperors who just turned thirteen and would find a twelve-year-old queen, the psychology of ancient people was more precocious than that of future generations.
"In a hurry, Yan'er doesn't need to scruple about it, let's talk about it after leaving Luoyang." Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan, who was cowering and didn't dare to lie on Zhang Bin's back, and said.
Cai Yan shyly lay on Zhang Bin's vest, Zhang Bin grabbed Cai Yong in his hand, jumped on the roof and swept towards the city wall as soon as his body turned over, Cai Yong and Cai Yan are ordinary people, Zhang Bin swept out of Luoyang in a hurry, although he slowed down a lot along the way, and when he got out of the Tiger Prison, the two of them retched as soon as they stopped.
"Airsickness"
Zhang Bin secretly laughed and arranged for the two to live in the camp, he was going to send someone to send them to Zhongshan in two days, and when they arrived at his territory, these people would have their own way out, at least this Cai Yong didn't have to die in vain, and Cai Yan didn't need to be displaced all his life to make a beard eighteen shots.
Cai Yong's arrival in Zhang Bin's army was top secret, and it wasn't until a few months after the two officially appeared that everyone knew that Zhang Bin actually got Cai's family to Jizhou, because of Cai Yong's name, many learned people began to take refuge in Zhang Bin, which was something he never thought of.
