In order not to reveal their identities, Cheng Gongying and others did not leave directly, but disguised themselves and mixed in the Peng family's caravan.

As a businessman, the Peng family often has caravans going back and forth between Gaomi and Xuzhou, and no one will suspect Cheng Gongying and others when they are mixed in.

On the way, Cheng Gongying and Sun Qian rode side by side, chatting from time to time, while Guan Hai led the first camp dressed as a family member to scatter around, hiding the two in the middle.

The two chatted all the way, only to hear Cheng Gongying say: "Now the general is steadily rising, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, but there is one thing that has never been resolved, although it is not obvious at the moment, I am afraid that it will hinder and affect its development in the future!" ”

Sun Gan smiled after hearing this, and asked softly: "What the military advisor said, is it because of the prestige of the general?" ”

Cheng Gongying saw Sun Qian's words, and praised happily: "Gongyou is really a wonderful person, no wonder the general is so respectful!" ”

Sun Gan heard Cheng Gongying's praise, smiled slightly, and replied: "With the talent of the military division, this envoy does not need to be accompanied, but he named Qian's companion, there must be a reason, I think about it, and then think of Xuzhou, I feel that this is the only thing!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Cheng Gongying smiled heartily after listening to Sun Qian's explanation, and then said with a serious face: "Gongyou once said that the general wants to be famous, one is to show grace to the people, and the other is to win the trust of the virtuous.

Ying thinks about it, and it is not an overnight effort to show grace to the people, and it is not possible to do it for the time being, so you can only rely on the Magi.

And there are many great sages, but they are far away from the general, and there is no intersection, and there is no past!

And the person who can take this position nearby is none other than Zheng Gong, so he invited Gongyou to Xuzhou together, hoping to make some progress! ”

After hearing this, Sun Gan nodded and replied: "This matter is a matter of duty, and he has won the love of the general, and he is a confidant, and he has nothing to repay, and he is ashamed in his heart.

When he arrived in Xuzhou, he went to visit his teacher, knew it with affection, moved it with reason, and persuaded it by the general! ”

Cheng Gongying was happy after hearing this, thought for a while, and said: "Zheng Gongyi is dedicated to studying scriptures, I am afraid that he does not want to participate in the world, if he is unwilling to help him, Gongyou should not insist, so as not to backfire!" ”

Sun Qian thought of his teacher's character, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Don't worry, the military advisor has been with the teacher for a long time, and I know his temperament, even if it doesn't work, I won't let the general get in the way!" ”

Cheng Gongying nodded with satisfaction after listening!

……

Xuzhou, Chenfu.

Chen Deng stood respectfully in front of his father Chen Qi and said: "The Peng family sent someone to report, and Yan Liyi sent the military advisor Cheng Gongying to Xuzhou in person, thinking that he came to discuss the details!" ”

Chen Qi looked at Chen Deng with a smile on his face, and pointed: "Wu'er is too superficial, if it is only for details, why do you need to come to Gongying in person?" ”

Chen Deng was puzzled after hearing this, and asked: "If it weren't for that, what else would be the matter?" ”

"Haha!" Seeing that Chen Deng was unconscious, Chen Qi smiled and said: "It will be for Xuzhou to come in chaos!" ”

"Xuzhou chaos?" Chen Deng still didn't understand.

Chen Qi restrained his smile and said with a serious face: "Now that Xuzhou is leveling, the people are stable, although Tao Fujun is old, if there is no change, he will be safe within a few years, and Koji Yiyan can wait for a few years?" ”

When Chen Deng heard his father's explanation, he suddenly realized, and said with his hand: "But it's like this, it's stupid!" ”

Seeing that Chen Deng finally understood, Chen Qi nodded and said: "Since you have made a decision, you can't be half-hearted, Cheng Gongying is talented, you should be humble and cautious when talking to him!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qi paused slightly, thought for a moment, and instructed again: "As long as it does not hurt Tao Fujun's life and is beneficial to the family, you can allow it to be used, and you can call it everywhere in the dark chess!" ”

The Chen family is a high-ranking gate in Xuzhou, and has been operating for many years, and there are countless hidden backhands, some of which may not be used for a lifetime, but once they are activated, they will be able to give a fatal blow.

When Chen Deng heard that his father was so solemn and that the governor had reached a critical moment, he immediately bowed and said, "Remember! ”

……

Water moistens all things, and rain gives birth to a hundred grains.

Since the spring thunder before the fight, it has been drizzling several times.

Spring ploughing is coming, and rain is as expensive as oil, but it is definitely not a good thing for Cheng Gongying and others.

The continuous rain made the road muddy, and the march was difficult, and although there were clothes, it was difficult to withstand the continuous drizzle, and everyone's clothes were soaked and shivering.

Looking at the gloomy weather, the rain was difficult to stop for a while, Cheng Gongying called Guan Hai and instructed: "The rain is not abating, the clothes are soaked, and send someone to the front to investigate, check if there is a place to shelter from the rain, rest for one night first, and wait for the rain to be light tomorrow before it is too late!" ”

Although Cheng Gongying and others followed the Peng family's caravan, because of Peng Yu's orders, Cheng Gongying was in charge of how to act along the way.

"No!" When Guan Hai heard the order, he immediately called two soldiers who had ascended to the dead first, and ordered the two to go to investigate.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two of them returned and said to Cheng Gongying: "Mr. Bao, a few miles ahead I found a dilapidated old post, which is enough for everyone to shelter from the rain!" ”

Because of the fear of revealing his identity, the soldiers all called Cheng Gongying Mr. along the way.

Cheng Gongying was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly urged the team to speed up.

The people hurried for several miles, and saw a ruined post, which was abandoned because of the war, but although it was dilapidated, it was spacious enough to shelter from the rain.

Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly entered, there were many rooms in the old post, but most of them were leaks, Cheng Gongying ordered people to pick out a few rooms that could shelter from the rain, clean them simply, and then settle the goods and horses, and then make a fire to cook rice and bake clothes.

Because the weather was humid and it was not easy to make a fire, by the time everything was ready, it was already dark, and everyone had a simple dinner, and then took some rain to boil, and while baking clothes, they drank hot water to warm their bodies.

In the middle of the fire, the soldiers standing guard outside the temple gate came in and said, "Mr. Bao, a group of pedestrians came outside the door, wanting to borrow the old post to take shelter from the rain!" ”

Cheng Gongying listened to the sound of rain outside that had not abated at all, and asked, "What kind of person is it, and how many people are there?" ”

"About a dozen people, it seems to be a passerby, there is an ambiguous car inside, and there are female dependents!"

Cheng Gongying nodded lightly after hearing this, as if there should be no threat, and said: "Allow him to enter, there are still vacant rooms in the courtyard, let him clean up by himself!" ”

The soldier took the order and left, and after a while, he heard the sound of a request from the courtyard, and thought that he was cleaning up.

Cheng Gongying thought about it and called Guan Hai, and ordered: "The weather is humid, it is not easy to make a fire, there are still female dependents among them, you can take some fire and send it, we are all strangers in a foreign land, and we should take care of each other!" ”

After listening to this, Sun Qian smiled and praised: "When you go out, you meet fate, and it should be so!" ”

Guan Hai saw that the two gentlemen were like this, so he immediately agreed, took some open flames, and personally led people to send them.

Cheng Gongying didn't pay much attention, sat opposite Sun Qian and chatted some gossip, while the two were talking, Guan Hai entered again, and said respectfully to Cheng Gongying: "Mr. Bao, I have sent the fire as instructed, the other party is very grateful, one of them went back with me, and came to thank you in person!" ”

Cheng Gongying looked at Sun Qian and smiled after hearing this!
