Cai Yong is a famous Confucian in the world, and he is a celebrity in Luoyang City, although he has just moved to Luoyang, but his residence is not difficult to find.

It's just that Dongcheng is too complicated, even if the two have already asked the way, they still forced themselves to go around it several times before they came to Cai Yong's door.

At this time, a carriage was parked in front of Cai's mansion, and the old servant who was driving was preparing to introduce the car into the mansion.

"Liu Langjun, I don't want to see each other again so soon." The old servant saw Liu Bei and the others from a distance, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet them.

This person is the person who was rescued by Liu Bei today.

Liu Bei and the others turned over and dismounted, and came to the door of Cai's mansion, he smiled and said: "Uncle is polite, it seems that we are indeed destined, we can meet on the road, and we can meet here."

"Liu Langjun is righteous and heroic, and he will definitely fall in love with the head of my family." The old servant pointed to Cai's house, "The head of my family is Cai Gong." ”

Liu Bei was stunned, the world was really a coincidence, and he never thought that this person turned out to be the Cai family.

He looked at the carriage, which was empty.

I don't know who was sitting in the car at that time, could it be Cai Yong?

It's just that if you think about it carefully, Cai Yong is famous, if Cai Yong is sitting in the car, as long as he gets out of the car to show his identity, even if Cao Poshi is bold, he will definitely not dare to do it.

Cao Poshi was notorious in the city, and he was most famous for snatching the wife of his commander.

He remembered that Cai Yong had two daughters.

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled, it seems that there is only one truth, and now Cai Zhaoji is still a few years old.

"Why is my brother laughing for no reason?" Guan Yu said curiously.

Liu Bei came to his senses and saw Guan Yu and the old servant driving the car looking at him with strange expressions.

He touched his nose, "It's okay, I just think of Cao Poshi's appearance today, and I feel a little happy in my heart." At the end of the day, I was still light. ”

The old servant who was driving also smiled when he heard this, "This is called evil retribution, and this person is also his retribution for meeting Lang Jun today." I'll go and pass a message to the two Lang Juntong, it just so happens that the head of my family is resting today, and he should be in the house now. ”

"Then there's Uncle Lao." Liu Bei hurriedly thanked him.

The old servant led the carriage into the house.

Liu Bei glanced at the plaque on the house, and the font was healthy and fluttering.

At a glance, it can be seen that it is Cai Yong's flying white body.

With today's kindness, it should not be too much to ask him for more than a dozen pairs of calligraphy in flying white font.

"Liu Jun come in with me, the head of my family is already in the main hall."

After a while, the old servant walked out of the mansion quickly, leading Liu Bei and the others into the mansion.

…………

Although Cai Yong is a great Confucian, he is not a rich family, and most of the money is used by him to collect books, so the house is actually quite poor.

Even so, the house is still very elegantly arranged, along the way there is no common pavilion and pavilion of the rich and rich, rockery and pavilions, only the lush forest and bamboo, the sky is straight.

"These are all planted by the head of my family." The old servant smiled and said, "The head of my family often says that to be a man, you must have solar terms, like this bamboo." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Cai Gong is noble, I have already heard what Gong Lu said."

"When the head of my family came back from Dongguan a few days ago, he often talked about Liu Jun. Today, Liu Jun is finally here. ”

There are not many servants in Cai's house, so in addition to raising horses on weekdays, this old servant also has to occasionally do some work to bring tea and water to his master.

In the past few days, he heard that the head of the family was always talking about Liu Bei at home.

Liu Bei didn't take it to heart when he heard this, thinking that Lu Zhi had mentioned his affairs in the southeast to Cai Yong in the Eastern View.

The old servant led the two into the atrium, and there were several screens at the entrance, on which the rhetoric was also written in flying white font, which was Cai Yong's proud work.

The middle-aged man who was standing in the hall and flipped through the book in his hand turned his head when he heard footsteps.

Today is different from that day in the East View, hearing that Liu Bei is coming, Cai Yong also deliberately freshened up.

Originally, he didn't need to be like this, Liu Bei was just a junior visit, it was not worth his trouble, even if Lu Zhi visited, it might not be able to let him freshen up.

It's just that he has already heard his two girls talk about today's events, and naturally he hates Cao Poshi's arrogance. But the more this is the case, the deeper the gratitude to Liu Bei in his heart.

"Xuande is here, come over quickly." Cai Yong said with a smile.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu into the hall and hurriedly saluted, "Gong Cai, Bei should have come to visit a long time ago, but there are indeed some things delayed on the mountain these days, and I ask Gong Cai not to blame." ”

"How can you blame?" Cai Yong said with a smile, "If it weren't for Xuande today, I'm afraid that my daughter would be in danger, so I still have to thank Xuande." ”

Cai Yong smiled bitterly, "Although Cao Poshi is nothing, that Cao Jie is a cold character. Xuande is afraid that his life in Luoyang will not be good in the future. Today, I owe Xuande a big favor. ”

"Cai Gongyan is serious, and he is preparing to do what he should do. Don't say that it is Cai Gong's family volume, even if the ordinary head of Qiantou encounters this matter, Bei is going to take action. Therefore, today's events are actually inevitable. ”

Cai Yong glanced at Liu Bei, and after a moment, he smiled: "Sure enough, it's Lu Zhi's disciple."

"Okay, let's not talk about that, I'll take you to see my collection."

He took the two of them around to the study at the back, Cai Yong collected thousands of books, which has always been something he is proud of.

In the study, the bamboo slips are divided into categories and piled up.

Liu Bei, a person who has a headache when he sees bamboo and is simple, is naturally dizzy and shaken when he sees such a scene, and even Guan Yu, who has always been quite good at reading, also widened his eyes.

Cai Yong saw the expressions of the two of them, and said with a smile: "These books are actually not much, even if you read one book a day, you will finish reading them in a few years." It's the little girl who has been reading since she was a child, and now she can already memorize it backwards. ”

Liu Bei retracted his thoughts and exclaimed, "No wonder Cai Gong is famous in the world, it makes sense." ”

Cai Yong smiled, "Reading more should be the most natural thing." ”

"It's naturally good for Cai Gong to think so, but not all scholars who are studying today think so."

Liu Bei thought of what he saw on the long street today, and his heart was murderous again.

"Yong is just like this, how can he expect everyone to be like this." Cai Yong smiled bitterly, "Even those students who are too learning today, there are naturally people who like to read, but more people don't want to take advantage of this to step into the clouds?" Not only do I know this, but you also know it, but what can you do? ”

"Nowadays, Taixue is just a way to enter the officialdom, and scholars are already so eager to do so. If one day it becomes the only way to enter officialdom, what will happen to those who study? Liu Bei said softly.

"What does Xuande mean?" Cai Yong was puzzled.

"Bei is just a casual remark, Cai Gong doesn't have to take it to heart."

Liu Bei looked around the room and saw a guqin placed on a wooden bench with some burn marks on it.

Cai Yong saw him looking at the qin, and said with a smile: "In the past, I met the Wu people who burned the tung to plan, I heard the sound of fire, and knew that it was a good wood, so the remaining wood was cut for the piano, and there was a beautiful sound, but unfortunately there was not much wood left, and its tail was still scorched."

"Cai Gong is interesting." Liu Bei exclaimed.

He was a person who didn't understand music, and he lost his mind for a moment, and it was also because he suddenly saw this Jiaowei piano and thought of the Bingzhou Tiger who liked to play the piano.

Thinking of Lu Bu, he thought of another thing.

"When I was in Dongguan that day, I should go to Lu Gong to give you a scroll. Now that you are here, I will choose one for you. I don't know what Xuande wants?" Speaking of this, Cai Yong seems to be a little heartbroken.

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Guan Yu, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Cai Gong has a spring and autumn period?"

"Spring and autumn are naturally there." Cai Yong smiled proudly when he heard this, "Xuande will go outside first and wait for a while." ”

Cai Yong went inside to look for books, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu walked out of the school and came to the courtyard.

The pines and cypresses are vigorous, and they are hidden in the middle.

"What does Yun Chang think of Gong Cai?" At this time, there were only the two of them in the courtyard, Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Cai Gong is indeed an elegant person." Guan Yu looked at the bamboo forest in the courtyard.

The two of them didn't say much, and each thought about his own thoughts.

"Cai Gong, teach me that tune today." Someone laughed and came from outside the door.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he was an acquaintance, but it was not unusual for this person to come here.

After all, it was he who ransomed Cai Yan from the Xiongnu in the future.

Cao Cao laughed and walked in from outside the door, followed by Le Jin.

"It turns out that Xuande and Yun Chang are also there." Cao Cao was not very surprised when he saw the two, and let Le Jin behind him in front of him, "This is Le Jin Le Wenqian, and he is also a rare warrior, if you talk about bravery, I am afraid that it is not under Yun Chang." ”

Liu Bei glanced at the short Le Jin, he naturally would not look down on this five-son general who was known for his courage in history because of Le Jin's short stature, just like he would not look down on Cao Mengde beside this person because of his short stature.

Cao Cao glanced around, and saw that Cai Yong was not here, so he smiled and said: "When Xuande beat Cao Poshi today, Cao was also watching from the sidelines, and I just wanted to clap my hands for Xuande."

Liu Bei nodded and glanced at the long sword at his waist, "It turns out that Meng De is also there." ”

"It's just that after the pleasure, Cao is also worried about Xuande. That Cao Poshi is naturally a straw bag, but Cao Jie has always been ruthless, and he loves this younger brother very much, otherwise Cao Poshi would not be so domineering in the city. Now that Xuande has slapped his Cao family in the face, I don't know what this person will do next. Xuande has to think about it more. ”

"Bei is also worried about this, although today is a moment of righteous indignation, but now I don't know what to do." Liu Bei glanced at Cao Cao deeply, "Does Meng De have a good plan?"

Cao Cao lowered his voice and said with a smile: "After Cao is a eunuch, his status is low, even if he has a heart, he is powerless. However, Xuande came to Luoyang late, and he may not know anything. This contention was also done at the beginning. Interestingly, one of them is still Cao Poshi, while the other is Yuan Highway. ”

"What kind of people are the highways? has always refused to be subservient, but at that time, Cao Jie was in the palace when he was in power, and even his Yuan family had to temporarily avoid the edge. ”

So the highway had to swallow its anger and make way for the man. I remember getting drunk on the highway that night, saying that sooner or later I was going to take this man's life. Cao Cao said with a smile.

"I think it's just a drunken joke on the road, and it shouldn't be true." Liu Bei also said with a smile.

Cao Cao smiled, "Xuande just thinks it's a story and listens to it, after the famous highway family, naturally he won't do such a thing." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Liu Bei sighed in his heart, Cao Mengde is Cao Mengde after all, and he doesn't want to kill people without a knife.

At this time, Cai Yong had already returned from looking for books, and when he came to the courtyard, he saw that Cao Cao was also there.

"Mengde is here too." Cai Yong was not surprised to see Cao Cao, although Cao Cao was a eunuch, he often came to ask him for advice, and Cai Yong also had no reservations and taught him.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's not that I listened to Cai Gong's new song the day before yesterday and couldn't sleep all night, so I couldn't help but want to come and ask Cai Gong for advice."

"It's a good thing for Meng De to learn. I'm sure I'll teach you this tune today. Cai Yong is naturally happy to have someone who is eager to learn.

Liu Bei had nothing to do, raised his eyes and looked around, but saw two figures disappearing behind the screen in the room.

…………

Outside the gate of Cai's mansion, Liu Bei and Guan Yu led their horses.

Liu Bei, a person who doesn't like to read, actually didn't have anything to say to Cai Yong, so he just exchanged a few words with Cai Yong, begged Cai Yong for a word, and then said goodbye to Guan Yu and left.

Out of Cai's mansion, Liu Bei had been a little absent-minded, and he couldn't help touching his nose.

Guan Yu knew that this was his brother who was in trouble again.

Every time he encountered something difficult and difficult to make a decision, he would do this.

"Yun Chang, what do you say" Liu Bei opened his mouth, wanting to ask Guan Yu about it, but he remembered that the person in front ......of him was Guan Yu, but he smiled dumbly.

"Let's not rush back first, I'm going to meet Jia Xu." Liu Bei said with a smile.

He hoped that Jia Xu would give him an answer.

The two turned their horses' heads and headed towards the north of the city.

…………

North of the city, in Jia Xu's house, quiet room.

Jia Xu sat with his sleeves folded, and a pair of chess pieces were placed in front of him, and the chess pieces were already placed.

Opposite Jia Xu, there was Liu Bei, who came in a hurry.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I want to thank Jia Jun for not turning me away."

Jia Xu smiled, "Seeing Liu Jun coming in a hurry, I think I came to inquire about something." Just say it. Xu is also a little curious, what can make it difficult for the Liu family who makes chess. ”

Liu Bei was recognized by Emperor Ling, and he naturally knew about the identity of the Han family.

Although he is obscure here, it is nothing more than to observe the many heroes of Luoyang nearby, and take the opportunity to find a good master.

Just like Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, smart people can always recognize their own talents.

If it is not the power of the master, then find someone and leave it, so that you can seek stability when you make contributions.

"Jia Jun is well-informed." Liu Bei smiled, "But from Shi A?" Then Shi Ah is your man?"

Jia Xu stretched out his hand and twisted a chess piece, "I don't know who is who is between me and Shi A, it's just that each takes what he needs." Shi Ah wants to use my intelligence, I want Shi A's men to help me gather information, that's all. ”

"In this way, Jia Jun already knows about the east of the city today?" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Liu Jun is heroic and heroic, not afraid of the powerful, how can he not hear of such a big event." Jia Xu smiled and landed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard.

However, since Liu Jun already has the courage to provoke this person, he should also have countermeasures after offending this person. So Liu Jun didn't come here to ask how to deal with this person, but to have something else. Jia Xu saw through Liu Bei's mind at a glance.

Liu Bei nodded, what Jia Xu said was not bad, it was not difficult to deal with Cao Poshi, a straw bag who relied on his brother's power to do evil.

It's just that his method is to seek skin with the tiger, so now he still can't make up his mind.

The most important thing is that the person he wants to join forces with is indeed a hungry and cannibalistic tiger.

He did not deceive Jia Xu and told the truth about his plans.

Jia Xu was silent for a moment, and tapped the chessboard in front of him with the chess pieces in his hand, "Liu Jun is afraid that acting like this will fuel this person's momentum, and it will become a big trouble in the future?"

"Although this man is brave, he is not afraid at all. There is still Yun Chang Yide by my side, which is enough to offset it. Liu Bei shook his head, "I'm just afraid that if this person gains power, he will cause trouble in the world in the future." ”

"What is today is uncertain, so what is the future? Liu Jun, you are a little worried. Moreover, hunt for righteousness with small righteousness, and the benevolent will not do it. Jia Xu said with a smile, "Liu Jun prides himself on benevolence and righteousness, but don't be framed by benevolence." ”

Liu Bei was silent for a moment and nodded, "What Jia Jun said is reasonable. I already have a plan in my heart. ”

"I don't know if it's possible to ask Jia Jun to go out of the mountain now?" Liu Bei said with a smile: "The last time I came, Jia Junyan was not good enough. I wonder what happens now? ”

Jia Xu smiled when he heard this, "Now Liu Jun is floating like duckweed, there is no foundation, is there a difference between what he can say and what he doesn't come out?" ”

Liu Bei twisted up a son, "Jia Jun, how about the next plate?" ”

"Although Liu Jun is a chess maker, he may not be weaker than Liu Jun in this chess." Jia Xu twisted up a sunspot, "Liu Jun goes first." ”

…………

Luoyang, Yuan Shu's private residence.

Yuan Shu looked at Liu Bei, who was suddenly found, with a strange look on his face.

"Xuande, although we drank together a few times that day, and you also gave me a pair of chess, but I don't know what happened when you suddenly visited today?" After a moment, Yuan Shu finally couldn't help but speak.

"I really don't know what I'm looking for you about?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

Yuan Shu smiled, he had already heard about Liu Bei's presence in the east of the city today. After all, such a big event, even if he didn't deliberately inquire, someone would send the news to the door.

"If Xuande came to the door because he wanted me to deal with Cao Poshi with you, then Xuande was really looking for the wrong person. Although my Yuan family is not afraid of him Cao Jie, but now my uncle is in charge of the family, and he has always been very cautious.

Yuan Shu was the origin of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and he guessed Liu Bei's intention after a little thought.

Liu Bei smiled, "I thought that the highway was a heroic character, but I didn't want it to come to an end, but I was also a person who shy away." ”

"Hey, Xuan Demo wants to provoke me. It's not that I don't want to make a move, although Cao Poshi is a straw bag, Cao Jie is indeed a powerful person. I'm not afraid, but if I am involved in the future, I am only afraid that the Yuan family will be implicated. Yuan Shu sighed.

He Yuan Highway has always been a little enmity, and he has never forgotten it. was humiliated by Cao Poshi that day, he was naturally unwilling, but he also knew that this revenge was urgent.

Liu Bei glanced at his expression and said with a smile: "If I have a way to let the highway take revenge, and the Yuan family is not involved, I just need some money to support, I don't know if the highway is willing to make a move?"

Yuan Shu was stunned, he was also a smart person, "Could it be that Xuande has a private soldier?"

Liu Bei shook his head, "If the highway agrees, I have an old man who can do this." ”

"For the sake of wealth, no matter how big the risk is, this person dares to take a risk."
