"My lord, this is the imperial decree. Please read it over, lord!" Jia Xu then took out the imperial decree and handed it into Gao Fei's hands.
Gao Fei took the imperial edict and hurriedly browsed it. He saw a lot of nonsense written in the imperial edict. He first praised him and finally wrote the main topic. However, the official position he was given was just the governor of Liaodong and general Fenwei. But there was one thing.
Very beneficial to him
, that is, he was allowed to take two thousand Yulin Lang to take office as his troops stationed in Liaodong. However, even so, he still felt a sense of being deceived, and said angrily: "He Jin doesn't believe his words, goes back on his words, and actually
Dare to trick me?"
Jia Xu said: "Lord, please calm down. That guy He Jin has no brains. He listens to Yuan Shao in everything. It's probably because Yuan Shao had some trouble with my lord."
"Impossible, I have nothing against Yuan Shao, how could it be..." When Gao Fei said this, he suddenly remembered the incident of rescuing Diao Chan today. At that time, he saw soldiers killing people, so he punched Chun Yuqiong and paused.
After a moment, he continued, "Is it... could it be because of Chunyu Qiong?"
"No matter who it is because of, Yuan Shao is not willing to see his lord become a state shepherd. Yuan Shao is strict with outsiders and taboos at home. The eradication of the ten constant servants is the lord's greatest achievement. However, Yuan Shao's strategy was dismissed just because of the lord's words.
Negated, if the lord moves closer to him, maybe he won’t
Suppressing the lord in this way. He Jin obeyed Yuan Shao's words. The power of the government was not so much in the hands of He Jin as it was in the hands of the Yuan family. The top priority now is to leave the capital as soon as possible. If it is too late, the lord may even be killed.
You can't even become the governor of Liaodong." Jia Xu analyzed.
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Sir, your analysis is good, but Liaodong is the place I really want to go. This time it was self-defeating, but it is also in line with my wishes. Sir, let's set off now."
Jia Xu said: "Well, my subordinates have sent someone to notify Mr. Xun. My lord, please prepare as soon as possible. I have asked Lu Heng to prepare all the money and food, which is enough for us to travel from Gyeonggi to Liaodong."
Gao Fei said "hmm" and immediately turned around to go back to his room and said to Diao Chan: "Diao Chan, hurry up and pack your bags. Let's leave Gyeonggi Province today."
Diao Chan responded and hurriedly packed her luggage without asking. Gao Fei also helped Diao Chan pack the items.
Today, Gao Fei is eager to return home. He has been in Gyeonggi for less than a month, and he has spent almost all of it with a high degree of vigilance, fearing that something will go wrong, or that he will get angry. Now he has got Diao Chan, and he has been allowed to get it.
He had won the coveted position of Liaodong Governor. He didn't care how old he was, he only cared about having his own territory. Now that he had a woman, a beautiful woman, and a territory, he was naturally very happy with the double happiness.
While cleaning up the room, Gao Fei heard someone knocking on the door, and he asked loudly: "Who is it?"
"Brother Ziyu, it's me, Cao Mengde!"
"Cao Cao?" Gao Fei hasn't seen Cao Cao since the palace incident last night, and he doesn't know where Cao Cao went. But now he came to the door. He was about to open the door, but then he thought, Diao Chan was still in the house.
He must not be seen by this lecherous person, so he opened the door, walked out, and then closed the room.
Cao Cao was wearing a broad robe and carrying a baggage on his shoulder. As soon as he saw Gao Fei coming out, he hurriedly said: "Brother Ziyu, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Gao Fei took a look at Cao Cao's dress and heard what he said, so he asked curiously: "Brother Meng De, where are you going?"
"Haha, I have resigned from my official position and am going back to my hometown in Qiao County. I came here to say goodbye to my dear brother."
"Resign? Brother Meng De, isn't Guang Luxun doing a good job? Why are you resigning?" Gao Fei said in surprise.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "My dear brother, I don't know. From yesterday to today, things have changed. My Guanglu Xun was given by the late emperor. The late emperor passed away before he officially took office, so it doesn't count."
Now His Majesty has appointed someone else to serve as Guang Luxun and asked me to be the chief minister. I don't want to do it, so I have to resign."
"Isn't this unlike your Cao Mengde character?"
"My dear brother, to be honest, I have been advocating retreat in order to advance. Nowadays, the DPRK is in turmoil and the situation is unstable. I am helpless in the DPRK and can easily be implicated. I can only temporarily return to my hometown to avoid hiding until I wait.
Let’s go to Gyeonggi again in the future.”
"Strange, isn't Yuan Benchu a child of Brother Meng De? Now that Yuan Benchu is a confidant of the general, why doesn't Brother Meng De go find him?"
"I was originally intended to enter the General's Mansion, but I just refused. He Jin had humiliated me before. I will never enter the General's Mansion again. I can only go back to my hometown and wait for the opportunity. Brother Ziyu, I
I heard that you have been appointed as the governor of Liaodong. We two brothers have to say goodbye today. I don’t know when we will see each other again. Let’s take care of each other from now on!”
When Gao Fei heard that Cao Cao was so embarrassed now, he couldn't help but feel a little gloating in his heart, but there was a trace of sadness on his face, and he immediately handed over his hands and said: "Well, brother, have a good trip. If there is a chance in the future, let's drink again."
Ichiban.”
Cao Cao smiled, only lightly fisted his fist, and said, "My dear brother, I'll take my leave now."
After Gao Fei watched Cao Cao leave, he returned to the room again and saw Diao Chan holding large and small bags in her hands. It was the first time that he realized that he had so many things. Looking at Diao Chan who was a little thin, he hurriedly said: "
Put it down quickly, put it down quickly, how can you be allowed to carry so many things? What should you do if you are exhausted?"
Diao Chan smiled slightly and said: "The general is very kind to me, but I'm used to doing these rough jobs, so it's not too strenuous."
"You wait here, I'll ask someone to get a carriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei walked out of the room and asked Lu Heng to buy a carriage. Then he asked a few soldiers to move his things to the carriage, and then asked Diao Chan to sit in the carriage. The other soldiers' things were also packed.
It had been installed on the vehicle. After doing this, Xun You and Jia Xu came to Gao Fei together.
"See you, my lord!" Jia Xu and Xun You bowed together.
"Excuse me, Mr. Xun, Mr. Jia, now that everyone is here, let's set off and leave Luoyang City first." Gao Fei said.
Later, two thousand Yu Linlang followed Gao Fei to take office in Liaodong, and the army marched out of Luoyang City in a mighty manner.
As soon as he left Luoyang City, Gao Fei felt like a trapped bird coming out of its cage. He walked at the end of the team and took one last look at the majestic Luoyang City. He vowed that the next time he came back, he would turn this city into a
His territory.
Gao Fei was in a happy mood, and so were the other entourages. During these days in the capital, everyone felt a sense of depression. The depressive atmosphere made them a little breathless. Everyone left the capital.
My mood became much happier.
The army followed the route suggested by Xun You, first crossing the Yellow River at Mengjin, and then heading east after reaching Hanoi County. Mengjin is northwest of Luoyang, which is a large crossing of the Yellow River. There are usually many ships coming and going, and
There are also official ships that can transport large armies to the north bank of the Yellow River in one go.
Mengjin is not too far from Luoyang, but because it was already noon when Gao Fei led the army out, the sky had already dimmed when he arrived at Mengjin. Lu Heng and others went to Mengjin Post House first, and after making arrangements,
So he brought his people to welcome Gao Fei and take him to the post house to rest. However, two thousand Yu Lin Lang were stationed on the plain outside Mengjin City. Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong were in charge of the military camp and commanded it.
Mengjin is a small town. Although it is an important ferry port, it has not developed. There are not many merchants in the city and the posthouse is relatively empty.
Gao Fei rode at the front of the team, followed by Jia Xu and Xun You on the left and right, while Lu Heng led 20 Yulin Lang to guard the carriage Diao Chan was riding in. The group entered at night.
After arriving at Mengjin City, we slowly arrived at the post house.
When they arrived at the inn, the manager of the inn spared no effort to arrange for Gao Fei and others to move in, and also had people raise lanterns.
Gao Fei got off his horse, came to the carriage where Diao Chan was riding, and personally helped Diao Chan out of the carriage. When Diao Chan got off the carriage, everyone present exclaimed and looked at her with astonished eyes.
Diao Chan. After a brief freeze, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at her anymore.
Gao Fei took Diao Chan's hand and walked slowly into the post house. Under the guidance of the owner, he came to a room. Although the decoration in the room was not too luxurious, it also complemented each other, with green Roman tents, incense and red candles.
, looks very warm.
"Sir, Mengjin is a small place, and this is already the best room in the hotel. If there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me." The owner of the hotel said to Gao Fei very politely.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "This is already very good. The host is too polite. It's better than the place I lived before. Thank you to the host."
The host bowed slightly and said: "Your Excellency, please rest here for a while. I have already ordered people to cook. The banquet will be ready soon, so I will send someone to invite you. I will take my leave first!"
After seeing off the owner of the post house, Gao Fei closed the door. Reflecting the candlelight, he saw Diao Chan standing there quietly and asked, "Diao Chan, why don't you sit down?"
Diao Chan said: "If the general doesn't sit down, how can I dare to sit down?"
Gao Fei shook his head, walked to Diao Chan, took Diao Chan's slender hand, and said slowly: "Silly girl, if I don't sit down, you will never sit down again for the rest of your life? There are no outsiders here. After we get to Liaodong, we will hold the meeting
For the wedding, let’s officially marry you, okay?”
Diao Chan nodded gently, and suddenly there were some tears in her eyes.
Gao Fei looked at it with great pity and said hurriedly: "Diao Chan, why are you crying? Did I do something bad to you?"
"No, no, the general has been very kind to me along the way. I am very contented. It's just that I never thought that someone would be so kind to me. When I think of the life in the palace in the past, I can't bear it.
I just want to cry."
"Stop crying, you will be my legal wife from now on, and I will treat you well for the rest of my life, so you are not allowed to cry, and you are not allowed to think about the past anymore."
Gao Fei wiped away the tears on Diao Chan's face and gently held Diao Chan in his arms. He smelled a light body fragrance and felt very comfortable. Diao Chan rested her head on Gao Fei's shoulder and for the first time
She felt very warm when she was hugged for the first time. Thinking that in the future she would be a woman who would be cared for and loved by others, she smiled happily.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Who is it?" Gao Fei heard the knock on the door and asked.
"Lord, it's me, Jia Xu!"
Gao Fei let go of Diao Chan, walked to the door to open it, and asked, "Mr. Jia, what's going on?"
Jia Xu said: "My lord, do you still remember that my subordinate once said that I would give you three gifts? Now that the third gift is already in Mengjin, I would like to ask my lord to take a look."
"Mr. Jia, you are so polite, I really have nothing to repay you for."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "My lord, I will never break my promise to my lord, so please come with me to see this gift. I promise that your lord will like it very much."
"Oh? Then I want to see what kind of gift it is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei left Diao Chan waiting in the room and followed Jia Xu to see the third gift Jia Xu mentioned.
