Seventy or eighty elite riders were galloping around a carriage on the official road at high speed. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, the leader was none other than Yan Liang.
"Sir, the journey is bumpy, so you need to take a rest~"
Yan Liang rode his horse to the side of the carriage and rushed into the carriage to ask questions. Tian Feng was astonished by his learning, so he respectfully addressed him as sir.
"No need. In ancient times, Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon. Now I, Tian Feng, use the bright moon as a lamp to visit great talents as a prefect. Isn't it beautiful~"
Ancient horse-drawn carriages did not have shock-absorbing measures, and the road was bumpy, so sitting in a horse-drawn carriage was not much more comfortable than riding on a horse. This is why there is an old saying that the journey is tiring, but Tian Feng did not take it seriously.
"Well thank you, Mr. Kuang. Judging from this speed, we should be able to reach Guangping in the evening."
Tian Feng didn't care, and Yan Liang, who was born in the military, didn't care even more. He whipped his horse whip and rushed to the front of the team again.
They were galloping all the way, even the food was dealt with briefly, and then they started on their way again under Tian Feng's urging.
Stepping out on the stars and arriving with the moon, it took them a whole day and night to see the boundary of Guangping County.
Since the city wouldn't open in the middle of the night, they could only deal with it in the wild for one night before entering the city at dawn.
The group of people didn't make too many moves. Twenty horsemen rode out directly to guard the outside. The remaining knights took the blankets off their horses and lay down next to their horses.
"Marquis Yan, please get in the car and talk~"
As soon as Yan Liang came to the carriage, he heard Tian Feng's invitation.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Yan Liang opened the curtain and got directly into the carriage.
"Marquis Yan, Jushou is a man of astonishing talent. His wisdom is astonishing and he knows the smallest details. The slightest disturbance will cause unnecessary trouble, so this time we have to prepare for the worst."
Looking at the Guangping City in front of him, Tian Feng's eyes were full of solemnity. As the saying goes, heroes recognize heroes and heroes cherish heroes. He knew very well how powerful Ju Shou was.
"Everything depends on Mr.'s arrangement~"
Feeling Tian Feng's heaviness, Yan Liang also condensed.
"Eighty close riders, leaving ten people outside the city to support them.
Of the remaining seventy people, ten were deployed near the city gate. If anything happened, they would immediately rush to open the city gate.
Ten people went to buy twenty carts and were ready to tie people into the carts at any time.
The remaining fifty people dispersed and divided into four groups, staying in the four directions of Jushou's mansion. If they needed to attack the mansion as quickly as possible,
Marquis Yan, please take ten people with me to visit Jushou. If anything goes wrong, please look at my eyes and act.
I must control my mother as soon as possible, do you understand?"
Tian Feng explained everything carefully, from the reception outside the city to the control of the city gate and the arrangements for Jushou's residence. He even explained the priorities of the worst-case scenario.
"Sir, shouldn't we capture Jushou first and then control his family?"
Yan Liang scratched his head for a while?
"Marquis, do you want the prefect to get news of a living Jushu, or news of his death?"
Tian Feng raised his head and glanced at Yan Liang.
"Of course you are alive and well~"
"Jushi is a talented person with a strong personality. If he is unwilling to serve, no matter how the general threatens him, it will be useless, and the worst results may even occur. However, this person values filial piety most. If the general can control his mother, then this person will definitely be obedient.
Wait with me back to Changshan~"
At this moment, Tian Feng is a complete bastard, a complete bad guy.
"No~"
Yan Liang nodded heavily, and at the same time looked at Tian Feng with a hint of fear in his eyes.
It is right to know people and know their hearts, but these literati know their hearts and then dig out their hearts and use them for their own use. It is terrible.
There was no talk all night, and except for the change of duty among the close riders, there was no movement at all.
As soon as it got dark, the group of people changed their clothes and entered the city. Once they entered the city, they rushed to their respective directions according to Tian Feng's arrangement like swimming fish.
Day and night rotated, and after a day's rest, Tian Feng had recovered his strength. After washing himself carefully, he took Yan Liang, Zheng Bin and ten guards to Ju Mansion.
Jushou's mansion was quite nice. It was brightly lit in the middle of the night and there were two servants standing guard at the door.
"who?"
Seeing Tian Feng's carriage parked at the door, accompanied by a dozen well-dressed men guarding it, they listened to the inquiry with vigilance.
"Julu Tianfeng, came here to pay homage to Jushou~"
As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, Zheng Bin ran forward obediently and handed over the greeting card.
"Tian Feng? Please wait a moment, I will inform the master right away~"
A servant took the invitation, exchanged glances with his companion, then opened the door and stepped in.
After a while, the door creaked open, and a tall, middle-aged man walked out with a big smile.
"Yuan Hao is here to visit, why didn't you tell him earlier so that I could go out of the city to greet him~"
Jushou went out to greet Tian Feng in person, which showed that he attached great importance to Tian Feng, but he inadvertently caught sight of Yan Liang and Zheng Bin, and his brows couldn't help but raise.
"Note, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay~"
Tian Feng also stepped forward and held Ju Shou's hands tightly.
"Who are these two?"
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Jushou turned his attention to the two of them, and finally settled on Yan Liang. Without him, this guy was too majestic.
"This is from Changshan~"
Tian Feng didn't say much, he just introduced that the two of them were from Changshan County.
"Chang Shan? I don't know that this distinguished guest is here, so I'm so indifferent~ Please~"
Although Tian Feng just downplayed it, Ju Shou's wisdom had already figured out what Tian Feng wanted to say, and he quickly welcomed the three people in.
"Ju Bing, put out the lanterns, close the door and thank the guests."
"No~"
"Juhe, take these military masters down to have a rest and make arrangements~"
"No~"
Although Jushou was only giving instructions to his servants, the words inside said everything, especially the fact that he was bringing several military masters down, which made Yan Liang feel palpitations in his heart.
After receiving the signal from Ju Shou, Ju Bin put out the lantern directly, while Ju Or arranged for the horsemen brought by Yan Liang to go into the mansion to rest.
Jushuo's family fortune is not small. After all, he has served as county magistrate twice and he is also a prominent local family. He passed through the pavilions and finally came to the hall.
"Yuan Hao, I don't know why you came to Guangping this time?"
Jushou's expression remained normal and he looked at Tian Feng beside him.
"Note, I think you should also know our purpose of coming. I will not tell secrets. I have decided to serve as an official to assist Yuan Shu, the governor of Changshan. Now I am here to invite you to come~"
"It turns out that Brother Yuan Hao has decided to serve as an official, so I would like to congratulate you first, but I want to know whether it is your intention or Prefect Yuan's intention to invite me to accompany you?"
Tian Feng became an official and Jushou had guessed that otherwise he would not have come here from Julu. After receiving various news from Changshan County, he was also yearning for it, but he had his own worries.
"I'm Yan Liang, and Tian is the military commander of the Polu Army. I'm here to invite Mr. Tian Feng and Jushu to serve on my lord's order."
At this moment, everything Tian Feng said was wrong, but at his signal Yan Liang took a step forward and explained to Jushu.
"Ju is not talented and has bothered the prefect to worry about him. However, he has an old mother and a wife and children at home, so he really can't go as far as Changshan County."
Jushou's words made the atmosphere freeze instantly, and the air became terrifyingly quiet for a moment.
"Note, now that chaos has arisen in the world, the Yellow Turbans have not been pacified in various places, and bandits are being raised from all directions to train their troops.
A storm is approaching in Luoyang. The ten constant servants and the general are incompatible with each other. Sooner or later there will be a battle. At that time, it will definitely be a situation that is difficult for you and me to predict.
If you can't meet the Ming Lord now and surrender to him, then even if you are extremely intelligent, you will not be able to protect the Ju family's safety~"
"Troubled times have their destiny. I think Yuan Shu has the qualities to be a hero. This is the destiny of these troubled times. That's why I came here with Yan Liang. I hope you don't miss it~ Please think twice."
In fact, Ju Shou didn't know what Tian Feng said, but he really didn't want his mother to go to Changshan County because of his hard work and his wife and children.
"Yuan Hao, how could I not know what you said, but~"
"Give me a son~"
Before Jushu finished speaking, he saw an old woman walking in with the support of a young woman.
"Mother~"
Jushu ran down quickly and found out that this person was his mother.
"My son, my mother knows that you have great talents. Yuan Shu and Yuan Taishou are the nobles of the Yuan family, the legitimate son of the fourth generation and the three princes. Such a prestigious person invites you to serve as an official. If you have to give up just because of the old woman, how can you feel at ease as a mother?"
, how can I be worthy of your dead father."
Jusue's mother was also a person who understood justice well, and she would leave Jusue speechless after a casual sentence.
"But~"
"There's nothing to worry about. If you don't agree, my mother will die in front of you now, which will save you from future troubles."
Looking at my mother's face, Jushu knew that he was not joking, so he could only smile bitterly.
"Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao, you've really made me miserable~"
