Chapter 083: Cai Yong's Death
Chen Yan kept Zhang Liao to guard the city tower, and he was worried about Cai Wenji in his heart, so he hurried to Cai Yong's house.
At this time, it was almost late at night, and there were still subtle lights on Cai Yong's mansion, Chen Yan pushed the door in, and suddenly heard a melodious piano sound.
This seems to be Cai Wenji stroking the qin.
The sound of the piano was very pleasant, Chen Yan unconsciously fell into a deep piano realm, he only felt light and fluttering, and he didn't think about anything in his mind, slowly, slowly, just mechanically moving forward.
After a long time, suddenly the sound of the piano broke, and a woman's exclamation came: "Who?" ”
Chen Yan turned around and saw that he was already standing outside Cai Wenji's window, and Cai Wenji could naturally hear her footsteps, and the exclamation just now should have come from her.
Chen Yan hurriedly said, "It's me, Chen Yan." ”
Cai Wenji pushed open the window suddenly, showing a pleased smile, and her pretty face was as bright and moving as the lake that had just melted in spring, only to hear her say happily: "My lord, are you back?" ”
Chen Yan nodded hurriedly, although she didn't say much at this time, the joy of meeting unharmed was already fully revealed. Chen Yan looked at Cai Wenji, and his emotion was self-evident, it was really better to be silent than sound at this time.
Cai Wenji hurriedly invited Chen Yan in, and the two sat together by the candlelight, and Chen Yan told Cai Wenji in detail about the battle situation in the past few days.
Although Cai Wenji was not interested in these marching and fighting things, Chen Yan said, for some reason, these boring things became interesting. Before they knew it, the two had already talked late at night.
The two agreed to visit Cai Yong together tomorrow morning, and immediately went back to their rooms to sleep peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yan and Cai Yan packed up early and went to the prison. The distance to the prison is not far, and the two of them have arrived in a short time.
Before he entered, Chen Yan suddenly saw a person walking out of the prison, this person was facing him sideways, but he was very familiar, it was Gao Shun.
"Gao Shun?" Chen Yan exclaimed in his heart, and suddenly had some bad premonitions.
Cai Yan saw the change in Chen Yan's expression, guessed something, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Yan knew that Cai Yong knew a lot of secrets about destroying the dragon vein, and now that Gao Shun had come over, it was very likely that he had come to kill people and kill people. When Chen Yan thought of this, his heart was cold, and without saying a word, he grabbed Cai Yan and shouted, "Hurry up!" Go see Cai Zhonglang! ”
Although Cai Yan didn't know Chen Yan's thoughts, he also realized that something was wrong, so he didn't say much immediately, frowned, and followed Chen Yan into the prison.
Chen Yan beckoned to the guards of the heavenly prison as he ran: "Go quickly, go quickly!" Cai Zhonglang is in danger! ”
Those guards naturally didn't know what was going on, but when they heard Chen Yan greeting them, they all ran towards Cai Yong's cell.
At this time, the corridor of the prison seemed to suddenly become very long, and it was impossible to run it all......
Finally, Chen Yan and Cai Yan led a group of guards to the end of the prison, and Cai Yong should be imprisoned here.
And the scene in front of him made everyone exclaim in surprise.
Cai Yong clung to the wall, his head shattered, and the wall and the ground were splashed with Cai Yong's blood and **.
How did Cai Yan think that his father would die suddenly, looking at the tragic scene in front of him, the girl screamed miserably and fainted.
Chen Yan's heart was like a knife, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Gao Shun! Immediately hugged Cai Yan tightly, beckoned the guard, and said, "Go and tell Lord Situ!" ”
The guards were also panicked and ran away. It didn't take long for Wang Yun and Lu Bu to go to the prison together.
Chen Yan was still holding Cai Yan, who had not yet recovered, and when Wang Yun saw Chen Yan, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Junlang, why did you come to the prison to visit Cai Yong?" ”
Chen Yan suddenly realized that he was sent by Diao Chan, Wang Yun didn't know, but it was hard to say, so he had to say: "I also pass by occasionally......"
Naturally, this kind of lie couldn't deceive Wang Yun, but Wang Yun nodded slightly, obviously not careless.
Lu Bu naturally saw the scene in front of him, and he was also very puzzled, and asked with a frown: "It seems that Cai Yong committed suicide, is it because he is afraid of sin?" ”
Chen Yangang wanted to tell Gao Shun about killing people, but after thinking about it, Gao Shun was Lu Bu's cronies, and although he was also Lu Bu's brother who fought side by side, after all, he was quite distant compared to Gao Shun, so he had to reluctantly hold back and didn't say much.
Wang Yun has long hated Cai Yong, but now that he sees it, he naturally doesn't want to care about it, and immediately said: "What General Lu Bu said is good, it seems that this Cai Yong is committing suicide." ”
Chen Yan couldn't say how bitter he was, and he hated it so much, but he could only look at the scene of Cai Yong's tragic death and sighed silently.
Sometimes, the truth is clearly in front of you, but it can't be announced to the world.
Wang Yun then learned about the matter hastily, and Cai Yong was only buried plainly. Although Cai Yan woke up, he still couldn't accept the inference that his father committed suicide in fear of sin.
Although Chen Yan knew that it must be Gao Shun who killed people, but there was no evidence, and there was no excellent opportunity, he would never say anything about this matter, if he said it rashly, it would not only be useless, but it would also startle the snake.
This secret was held in his heart, and he almost suffocated Chen Yan to death.
Cai Yong's funeral was held the next day, and he didn't even wait for the first seven. Cai Yan still couldn't accept the bad news at this time, and his spirits were low, so the funeral was only presided over by Chen Yan.
The burial site was not far from the outskirts of the city, because Li Wei's army was still outside the city, and Chen Yan did not leave the city.
It was gloomy that day, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, whether Cai Yong's old friends or relatives, did not come, perhaps because they were afraid of Wang Yun's troubles.
Cai Yong was hastily buried, and Chen Yan took Cai Yan back to the house. Cai Yan didn't close his eyes all night last night, and he was still very weak at this time.
Chen Yan hugged this gentle and pitiful talented woman in his arms, but he didn't know how to comfort her. After all, he knew the truth of this matter, but he couldn't tell the truth.
Chen Yan's only hope is that one day he can seize the opportunity to avenge Cai Zhonglang.
Gradually it was getting late, Cai Yan seemed to be tired of crying, and gradually fell asleep. Chen Yan looked at Cai Yan who was sleeping in his arms, and felt sorry for her in his heart. Who would have thought that the beauty who was smiling like a flower a few days ago would become such a field at this time.
Chen Yan thought about it, and suddenly heard the sound of a horn in the distance.
"Li Wei won't come to attack the city at this time, right?" Chen Yan thought in his heart, and immediately hugged Cai Yan to the bed, covered the quilt, and got up to go out.
Sure enough, the streets of Chang'an were brightly lit, and many soldiers rode their horses and galloped past.
Chen Yan knew that the battle was about to break out, so he immediately turned over his horse and ran towards the Yue Cavalry Battalion.
didn't run a few steps, only to see Song Zhong riding a horse in front of him, and as soon as the two looked at each other, Song Zhong shouted: "Leader, the big thing is not good, Li Dao is attacking the city!" ”
Chen Yan gritted his teeth violently and said loudly: "It's a good time, Old Song, the day has come to avenge your brothers!" ”
Song Zhong nodded heavily, followed Chen Yan, led all the men and horses, and headed towards the city wall.
