Chapter 41: The stunned Cai Yan
Bang bang... The thick palm slapped on several tables, the lamppost vibrated, the fire swayed, and the bamboo slips flew out to the ground.
"Yuan Shao's son... dares to do this. I just thought that he didn't know the general, but even asked him to be the prefect of Bohai. He actually asked Dongjun Qiaomao to post a message to me. He is really an ungrateful..."
In the main hall of Dong Zhuo’s mansion, the atmosphere seemed to be solidified. Several people kneeling on both sides below held their breath and dared not speak at this time. On October 11, not long after Cai Yong’s wedding banquet, all prefectures and counties received a notice from Qiao Mao to criticize Dong Zhuo for all the crimes after entering Beijing. They immediately elected Yuan Shao as a call, and voices from all over the country responded one after another.
"Why is the Grand Master anxious? In fact, it should be Yuan Shao and others who should be anxious." A man knelt down on the side mat and spoke, put down the wine cup and stood up. He had a medium figure, white face and short beard, hook and sickle, and his eyes were slanted. He glanced at the bamboo slips on the ground. After a long time, he turned his beard and smiled and walked out of the seat. "The Grand Master held Emperor Xian in his hand, and Yuan Shao and others had an unknown name. If he wanted to be famous, he would definitely support the new emperor..."
In the candle, the broad and fat body pinched the cup and was silent for a while. He opened his eyes and looked at the man, grinning with thick lips, revealing a ferocious look: "What a virtuous son-in-law wants to kill King Hongnong Liu Bian?"
The person who stood up was Li Ru. When he heard the words, he kept silent and bowed and replied.
"The Grand Master cannot——"
A figure on the right side quickly walked out, which was Cai Yong. He looked at the vicious figure bent beside him, turned to Dong Zhuo, and bowed: "Since King Hongnong is already an abolished emperor and is imprisoned in the palace, how can he recur? It's just that he was using his name by Yuan Shao and others. Besides, King Hongnong is also a royal relative. Wouldn't he really killing Yuan Shao and others to confirm the cruelty and incompetence of the Grand Master?"
Dong Zhuo frowned and nodded, "The words of the minister are also reasonable, how can I choose?"
The house was silent, and at this moment, footsteps came from under the eaves outside, and the servant whispered outside: "Tai Shizhong, someone from Cai Shizhong's house called him back."
When the old man turned around in confusion, the figure of the superior spoke: "What can be compared with state affairs? Let him come in and talk about it."
Not long after, a servant from Cai's mansion was taken here and shivered. When Dong Zhuo saw that he had a strange face, he slapped the table and said, "If you have any important matters, please tell me quickly."
"Yes..." The man shook even harder, bowed down and said, "...It was news from the Wei family that said... the lady was robbed by a group of thieves."
"Zhao Ji..." The old man standing muttered to his name, his vision shaking, and he was about to fall down. Li Ru next to him hurriedly supported him and shouted, but the old man just looked at the roof of the room with his lips shaking slightly.
"What's wrong with you, Shizhong Cai... Shizhong..."
The sound was like a distant ear, confused, buzzing noise, Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up and strode down, turned the old man, shook his arm, and his black beard shook and said, "Shi Jung-in, please be content, I'll save Ling Yan now."
Immediately, he waved to the door: "Go outside the city and send orders Xu Rong immediately, and lead troops to chase and suppress the bandits."
After the sound of the guards outside the door sounded, Cai Yong bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo tremblingly: "Thank you for your kindness to the Grand Master."
"I'll be here today. The Shizhong will go back and have a good rest. I will wait for my Xiliang Jianer to bring Ling Yuan back." Then, I asked someone to see the old man who was in a daze and sat down again. I thought for a while, took the wine and drank it on the ground, and looked at Li Ru with fierce eyes, "The affairs in the palace will be left to Wenyou. I don't want to see Liu Bian's son again."
The calls from all over the world have been raised by Yuan Shao, but the thunder brewing in Luoyang cannot be covered. The ones who were really roasted on the fire were the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, Grand Pu Yuan Ji and others. They have been officials for decades, but why don’t they know the tricks inside? But because they understand, they cannot escape from Luoyang at this time.
At this time, the candles swayed on several tables. Yuan Wei looked at his nephew Yuan Ji's fists tightly, and his teeth clattered, "This is an outsider who pretended to be a three-official document and harmed the Yuan family in Luoyang. It is definitely not the heart of the road."
"I have sent someone to explain to Dong Zhuo that even if you have the intention to eliminate the thief, you cannot kill the whole family." Yuan Wei was silent for a moment, stared at the candlelight before he said something.
Open the window... It was dawn, and the cavalry outside the city with the Xu flag rushed out of the barracks.
************************************************
In the quiet mountains, birds flew over the branches, chirping and chirping. A stream flowed quietly from the uphill. A grass was covered with morning dew between the cracks of the stones. After a moment, the horse's lips stretched over and chewed slowly. Around them, hundreds of war horses swayed their tails and ate the yellowing grass on the hillside. They sat by the stream, under the trees, drinking water and eating dry food on the stones. Then someone set up a bonfire and roasted a hard lamb leg on it. After applying a layer of oil, the fragrance was scented.
This is at the foot of Beimang Mountain, dozens of miles away from Yanshi. Gongsun Zhi bit a piece of bacon, looked at the red shadow by the stream, and the corners of his mouth were angled, and then walked over.
The stream flowed slowly, and a pair of white and slender hands held the clear water, gently poured it onto the face. The water surface reflected the tired and tired look. After a moment, the footsteps sounded, and he turned over alertly. He took a step back and looked at the thieves approaching.
"What do you want to do... don't do anything randomly... I... I am Cai... I am a married woman..." The girl's voice was gentle and a little hoarse, without any sadness.
Gongsun Zhi sat down on the stone opposite her, stretched out a piece of jerky meat in his hand with a smile, "It's been a day, I'll eat something, otherwise you won't have the energy to escape."
On the other side, her thin body did not move, and her eyes stopped on the black bacon in her wide palm and swallowed it. She had only drunk a bowl of porridge on the day of the wedding. Now almost two days have passed, and she naturally felt hungry. However, due to the other party's viciousness, she was always afraid. When she saw the dried meat, her stomach became fussy.
The girl kept on alert and stared at the bacon, blinked her eyes, and glanced over the man opposite with some complexity. While hesitating, the other party suddenly stood up and walked towards her, and quickly took a step back to avoid it, but he did not dodge it.
The hand was lifted for no reason, the fingers were broken open, the warm jerky was placed in the palm of the hand, and a bag of clear water. Then the man's voice came to his ears: "I know you women are complicated, so I'd better take the initiative, otherwise I'd starve to death, and I'd lose my wife."
"Vulgar..." The girl glared at her and shrank back, "I'm not your mother, either... mother."
"Hahaha... I snatched you from me, and I ate my things again, and I am my person." Gongsun Zhi sat down in front of her with a big golden sword, but the tone suddenly changed and his tone slowed down: "I have a question, have you ever liked the person you married?"
Perhaps seeing the other person sitting down, the girl relaxed a little, moved her mouth away from the bacon, and asked, "Don't we contact each other after becoming a couple? How could we know the man first? I...I... can't do such things."
"That's great. Since you don't have feelings for that person, just follow me."
"Hmm?" The girl raised her head, and the shadow in her eyes covered her eyes. She screamed in panic: "What are you doing!!"
On the other side, Gongsun Zhi took two steps, reached out to grab the slender waist of the girl who wanted to run away, stretched out the other party's leg bend with his other hand, and hugged her up. The struggling figure clenched his small fist and beat him in his arms, screaming: "You...you can't...can't do this...wow...ah..."
Then, I was so anxious that I burst into tears.
"...Don't worry, I won't touch you." Gongsun Zhi held her and sat on the stone. The girl in his arms was still scared. At this time, his voice said again: "You will fall in love with me in the future."
Then, he suddenly kissed her on the mouth.
In an era when etiquette and rules were emphasized, the girl's crying came to an abrupt end, with tears still hanging on the corners of her eyes... and then she was stunned.
