The two horses quickly chased the cart that had overturned on its side, and one of them jumped off his horse, cut the silk of the carriage with a steel knife, and looked inside.

The carport was empty.

"This guy, dare he be thrown far away?"

The two men began to focus on the car, slowly expanding the search area in all directions.

The road was flanked by dense weeds and a stinking ditch, and occasionally a small snake or two would crawl through the grass.

In the middle of the night, the two men returned to the car.

"Could it be that this guy was thrown to death, and the body was dragged away by some monster?" One of the guards muttered quietly.

"Ignore him, let's go and reply to the Marquis of Jiling City, and say that this kid fell into a deep stream." The other person looked at the pitch-black sky and said.

The two horses quickly disappeared into the night.

The two of them walked not far away, and in the grass about ten meters away from the carriage, a head poked out of the dirt.

Sima Banru escaped by falling into a collapsed tunnel.

It's an old tunnel. Sima Banru was knocked unconscious when he first fell in, and he lay on the ground gasping for breath, until he heard the footsteps of the two of them passing overhead, and he realized that the danger still existed.

Hurriedly got up and took a few steps forward along the cramped underground road.

A pungent musty smell enters the nostrils.

The tunnel was terrifyingly dark, and Sima Banru fumbled his hands against the bluestone wall on one side, listening intently to the sound above. Then, for fear that the two of them would discover the hole, they planned to take a few steps inside.

However, this time, he only walked less than two meters away, and with his outstretched hands in front of him, he touched something round and cold as iron.

Sima Banru felt like he had touched fire, and his hands suddenly retracted.

If it was in the past, Sima Banru would have escaped from the cave with a lot of urine, but today he didn't dare, the two people outside hadn't left yet, and going out by himself was tantamount to giving his head to the two of them for nothing.

After squatting there for a long time with his chest covered, Sima Banru didn't hear any movement, so he stood up and tentatively touched forward again.

This time, he felt like he had touched the baby.

The round thing was actually a bag with rough skin, and along the body of the bag, he touched the mouth of a bag tied with hemp rope, opened it, and the sound of the bang instantly made Sima Banru's eyes light up in shock.

It was wheat that hadn't been hulled yet. And, continuing along the bag, he found that the tunnel was staggeringly long, and the wheat in it was uncountable.

At that time, whether as a party overlord or a local county guard, as long as there were soldiers and horses around, food had always been the most precious thing.

As early as the era of the hegemony of the heroes, the princes of all walks of life fought from time to time because of the competition for food, and many princes had mountains of gold and silver in their homes, but because they could not buy food, they could only continue to reduce their troops, and eventually they were wiped out by other princes.

Now, although that era has passed, the Three Kingdoms are still in dispute, and if the local officials simply rely on the supply of the imperial court to raise soldiers, it is estimated that they will not even be able to support their own personal guards. In a year of disaster, arsonists and food grabbing have become the first choice of officials.

With such a big gift to Che Wei, Sima Banru felt that he had already achieved half of the battle.

Slowly retreating to the entrance of the cave, I heard the conversation between the two guards as they returned to the carriage.

Sima Banru waited until the sound of the two horses' hooves was far away, and then he came out of the tunnel.

He couldn't guess which of the grains had been buried here, but he could imagine the Che Lieutenant's expression when he saw them.

Lao Tzu's life is big, and he will not die after several disasters, so Sima Yan doesn't want to sit firmly in the position of the king of Jin.

After camouflaging the entrance of the cave again, Sima Banru returned to the carriage.

The cart had been broken, the wooden wheel had fallen to the side, and the horse had already broken free and grazing on the side with a long torn rein.

Sima Banru smiled in the direction of Luoyang and climbed on horseback.

Half a month later:

Sima Banru was like a leper dog that had been starved into dried fish, and came to the ancient city of Xuzhou.

Half a month later:

The lieutenant himself led a thousand soldiers and horses here.

At this time, Sima Zhao had died of illness, Sima Yan officially took over his father's title, and the road was full of local officials who came to congratulate, and the black Wei army colonel filled the entire road.

Faced with this scene, Che Wei had to temporarily give up his plan to dig up grain, and first took people to Luoyang to congratulate.

Sima Yan accepted congratulations at the Jin Palace, and also took the opportunity to inquire about the local situation, and turned himself into a high-speed spinning top.

Not long after returning to the capital, Hao Yi, who was in charge of receiving these officials, was so busy that he couldn't even take care of eating every day.

Che Wei, as the pastor of Xuzhou, was arranged to enter the Jin Palace's mansion three days later.

Che Wei is not in a hurry, every day with two relatives to wander around the streets of Luoyang, from time to time will linger everywhere for a long time, Luoyang's prosperity is naturally a hundred times stronger than Xuzhou Sheng.

"No wonder Sima Banru encouraged this general to enter Luoyang, this place is indeed not comparable to other places." The lieutenant exclaimed.

"Sima Yan is not comparable to Sima Ban Confucianism, General Che must not believe Sima Ban Confucian's words, he is an enemy of the imperial court, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to end in the future." A personal attendant said.

"General Ben knows what to do." Captain said.

"The general came to Luoyang, but he left Sima Banru alone to lead people to guard the grain and grass, and he should be careful not to take his own grain and lead the troops away."

The lieutenant laughed.

"I know very well that Sima Ban Confucianism is a person, although this person is ambitious, but he has no guts, and is extremely colorful, this time the generals are all cronies, if Sima Ban Confucianism has any changes, he will be beheaded immediately. However......" Che Wei's face turned grim, "General Ben really thinks that he has the courage to bring people into Beijing to assassinate Sima Yan, and give me Cao Wei Jiangshan a clean place." ”

The soldier's face turned pale with fright, and he covered the captain's mouth.

Finally, it was the turn of Che Wei to enter the Jin Palace, and Che Wei and three other local officials were waiting early in the courtyard of the first floor of the palace.

Sima Yan didn't have the shelf of a monarch, and soon called the other three people into the living room.

The captain was the only one left in the yard.

Probably Sima Yan did this intentionally, and after waiting for two hours, Che Wei saw three people come out, and then Hao Yi also walked out.

"If the general is not in a hurry, he can dine in the mansion first, and the lower official will personally take the lamp for the general, and the king will also come to sit with him after a while, and the right is to apologize for the general."

As a military general, Che Wei was really calm, and he was already very impatient in his heart, but when he heard that Sima Yan would accompany him personally, the anger in his stomach instantly dissipated.

"The king is so polite to the lower officials, and the lower officials are flattered, how can there be any reason for disobedience?" As he spoke, he handed the gift slip in his sleeve to Hao Yi, but he didn't want to be rejected by Hao Yi.

"Wang Junzhi, General Che has been guarding Xuzhou for many years, and he is a model of dedication to his duties, and he cannot accept gifts, but only need to discuss some major matters with the general."

Che Wei was slightly stunned, and couldn't guess what Sima Yan's intentions were.
