"Time flies, but I didn't think that Mr. would become so old that he couldn't recognize it......"

Dong Sheng said as he helped Mr. Dou to sit in the room. "I wonder what you're doing here?"

Mr. Dou sighed, bowed his head and wiped his tears, and said for a long time: "I can't hide it, everything has not gone well in recent years, the family business has been ruined, and my son has committed another crime and is in a lawsuit, locked in prison, and has no money to bail." Therefore, there is no way to do it. When I saw you on the street that day, I heard your name and remembered the friendship of the past, so I cheekily came to ask you for a sum of money to help you in times of need. ”

Dong Sheng hurriedly said: "Thanks to Mr. Chen's teaching, there is a field for students today, how can students not be saved when they see death?" It's just that this time I went out, and I only brought a few taels of silver with me to prepare food and clothing, and I can't divert public money for your old use. You wait for two days and wait for the student to pick it up, so you don't have to worry. ”

Mr. Dou's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Then, you must not leave." ”

Dong Sheng smiled and nodded: "I will wait with you until the silver is sent and put it in your hand personally." Anyway, the sergeants were still tired and didn't want to hurry up, so it didn't hurt to rest for a day. ”

Mr. Dou immediately got up to thank him and turned his head to leave.

"Alas," Dong Sheng suddenly stopped him, "Has Mr. Dou eaten?" ”

Hearing this, Dou Da frowned, suddenly thought about it, and stopped and replied: "In order to save the store's entanglement, the old man has not eaten for three days. ”

Dong Sheng's face was worried: "I said that Mr. has a very bad complexion, so that's the case...... Let's call the post station to prepare breakfast, and you can eat with us! ”

Mr. Dou lived up to Cunzhao's expectations, and really got acquainted with Dong Sheng, chatting with him and discussing world affairs, gradually disintegrating his guardedness.

That night, Mr. Dou specially took a pot of wine from the fire room and invited Dong Sheng to drink it together. Dong Sheng saw his courteous attitude, where did he dare to fold his face, he immediately served food with wine and drank until he was slightly drunk.

Mr. Dou was originally massive, and he drank it slowly, but at this time he had no strength to drink, and he was very sober. Seeing that he was already half drunk, he put the wine glass on the table, hugged his knees and sighed: "I hate that the old man did not take care of his name when he was young, so that he ended up miserable in his old age. It's not like I've been a jinshi since tomorrow morning, and I'm still following an adult who is willing to carry you, it's really a smooth journey. ”

Dong Sheng looked at it and asked, "Isn't it true that the people also know...... Am I trusted by Lord Ye? ”

Mr. Dou smiled: "It seems that there are rumors in the market, and there is one truth out of ten." ”

Dong Sheng sneered slightly: "They only know one thing, but they don't know the other." Now the situation in the DPRK and China is dangerous, this time out of the town is tantamount to a desperate fight, if you are not careful, you will be killed and destroyed, how can you have a smooth journey? ”

Mr. Dou was startled, shook his hands, and slowly took a sip of wine: "Then Ye Yongjia can destroy Liu Zhennian, how shrewd, is there nothing to do?" ”

Dong Sheng rubbed his flushed face and exhaled his wine: "Ye Bingbu gave me a letter and asked me to open it again at the border gate." ”

Dou Da thought to himself: 'That's what I'm talking about!' These words must not be heard by the sergeants! After looking around, he lowered his voice and cautiously asked, "What is written in it?" ”

"I didn't say it, I don't know."

"Can you open it up and let Dou also take a look and see the world?" Dou Da turned sideways, and his heart suddenly rang out.

"Yes!" Dong Sheng waved his hand and happily agreed, "But Mr. must not tell outsiders, otherwise he will be killed." ”

Mr. Dou coughed twice as he pretended to be calm, watched him put his meal aside and pull out a piece of letter from his sleeve and spread it out on the table. Mr. Dou stretched out his head to look, read the small words quickly, and then looked up at his face, unable to feel at ease.

"Let me bring this thing to ......" Under the double pressure of fear and anxiety, every string in Dou Da's heart was tensed, but it was precisely because of this excessive tension that he blurted out this sentence as if he was out of his body; When he came back to his senses, he was already covered with water and couldn't recover, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

"What did you say?" Dong Sheng lifted his shirt lightly, sweating all over.

Seeing that his gaze changed, Mr. Dou panicked: "No, I didn't say anything...... Speaking of drinking, yes, drinking! ”

A cold wind blew by the window, burrowing into Dong Sheng's head, making his drunkenness retreat by five points, and he no longer dizzy in front of him. He felt that his thoughts had also been opened up, and when he remembered Fang Cai's words, he felt remorseful. So he said, 'It's broken, it's broken!' I'm afraid Mr. Dou didn't have good intentions here, or he was bribed by Cunzhao to be a spy! But I've read him all the paperwork, what should I do in the future? Is the New Deal going to be ruined by me? ’

He was tempted to wander outside the house a few times and think about it, but the time given to him was so tight that there was no room for hesitation—as long as Mr. Dou was allowed to step out of the door, all his efforts would be in vain.

"The wine is finished, the food is eaten, Dou will not bother," Dou Dasheng was afraid that he would miss the horse's feet, and there was only one word left in his mind 'run', so he planned to get out eagerly, "Farewell!" ”

"Wait!" Although Dong Sheng still didn't have an idea in his chest, but now, he had to shout first, and then take one step at a time.

"What?" Mr. Dou was stunned, motionless, as if his feet were filled with lead.

"Where are you going? This is an official post, and there is no place for Mr. to live, so let's rest here. Dong Sheng kept it, and on the other hand, he swept the house frequently with his afterglow, and he didn't know what kind of divine object could save his life.

Suddenly, his gaze settled on a scroll, and his mood calmed down in an instant.

"By the way, I still have something to show you." Dong Sheng grabbed Mr. Dou's arm, walked to the cabinet, stretched out his hand and pulled out the scroll, pulled the rope away, and a map of the border pass slowly fell - this was the one he had shown Ye Yongjia, because he felt that it was useful at the border pass, so he took it from the military department when he left.

Mr. Dou pointed to the veins on the map and said in surprise: "Isn't this a map of the border pass?" ”

"Yes, this thing is very precious," Dong Sheng smiled slyly, "I went to the border but I had it, and this pair is useless." For Mr. as a gift for reunion. ”

"Don't hurt me, Congming!" Mr. Dou was so frightened that his legs went limp, "This is a strictly forbidden thing in the imperial court, how can I take it myself!" ”

"As a Confucian, how can you not know the geographical trend of mountains and rivers? If you feel inconvenient, you can send a henchman to send you to your home quietly, that is, there is nothing to do. ”

Mr. Dou clasped his hand and said, "I don't need it anymore!" No more! ”

"Oh, why not hang this thing in the house as a family heirloom, so that the children and grandchildren can see it for great benefit? I'll send it to you tomorrow! ”
