Chapter 391: Chen Gong returns to his heart, Cao Cao's back
From the time Liu Bei left until dark, the Chen Palace did not move. Even after the city was closed, the door of the Chen family was also tightly closed.
"Chen Qing."
"Master of the house."
"Inform the servants at the door to pack their personal clothes and gold and silver items."
"promise."
Chen Gong's family is not big, so it was easy to clean up. In a short time, Chen Gong's family, young and old, had all gathered in the hall.
"Let's go."
Chen Gong is good at planning, how could such a person not leave a way out for himself? It turns out that he has already dug a secret passage leading outside the city, and the secret passage leads to a remote farm. Anyone can
I didn’t know that this place was his property, Chen Gongtai’s, many years ago.
After arriving at the farm, Chen Gong and his family members boarded the carriage that had been prepared and walked towards Yufeng Pavilion.
"Master, didn't you already say that you would go north to Jizhou to join Yuan Shu? Why are you going east now?"
Chen Gong's wife looked at the direction of the carriage and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Madam, Yuan Shu of Jizhou is indeed a powerful man, but he already has Tian Feng, Jushou and Er Xun under his command. If I go, I may not be able to be reused. Today, Yangping Governor Liu Xuande came to secretly serve me as an official. I want to observe his people.
He has the same goals as me, so I want to help him."
Chen Gong naturally knew everything about his daughter-in-law and told her everything.
"Master, since you have made your decision, I will be fine."
"But if he doesn't have the patience to wait for me, he will have to go north to Jizhou to compete for Yuan Shu's position as the mastermind."
Chen Gong didn't say this sentence, he just thought it over in his heart.
The distance of thirty miles was not close at all. Chen Gong's carriage ran wildly for nearly an hour before arriving near Yufeng Pavilion.
"Master, there is no one."
Looking at the dark Yufeng Pavilion, Chen Qing couldn't help but talk to Chen Gong.
"You can't even wait this little time. It seems that I, Chen Gong, think highly of you and myself."
Chen Gong also shook his head. Since Liu Bei is no longer here, he has nothing to hesitate about. Going to Jizhou is the most important thing.
"Brother Gongtai, you have to say hello before you leave."
As soon as Chen Gong ordered his servants to turn the horses' heads, a familiar voice came from the Yufeng Pavilion, and then a series of torches were lit instantly, illuminating the Yufeng Pavilion.
Chen Gong came to Yufeng Pavilion alone. There was no one else on the table but a cup of herbal tea.
"Chen Gong, you are a bitch. My eldest brother has been waiting in this rotten pavilion all day since he came out of your house. Not to mention that you just turned around and left. How can you be so safe?"
When Chen Gong arrived, before Liu Bei could say anything, Zhang Fei fired at him.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense."
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and signaled him to stop talking.
"Mr. Xuande, have you been waiting here all day?"
After hearing Zhang Fei's words, Chen Gong suddenly realized that he never expected that Liu Bei would wait for him here all day.
"Well, Liu Bei was afraid of missing Brother Gongtai, so he didn't dare to leave the city even once. But seeing what you did just now, Liu Bei knew what you were thinking, so he offered tea instead of wine and wished Brother Gongtai a safe journey."
After Liu Bei said this, he held back the tears in his eyes, picked up the already cold tea and drank it in one gulp.
"If I don't give up, Chen Gong is willing to follow my lord in front of and behind him until death."
Only at this moment did Chen Gong realize how important he was in Liu Bei's heart, and he also understood that Liu Bei was indeed a lord who could be entrusted to him, so he no longer hesitated to kneel down on one knee and recognize Liu Bei as his master.
"Gongtai, please get up quickly. I, Liu Bei, am so virtuous that I can win your favor. With you by my side, the great man will surely be glorious again in our hands."
Liu Bei helped Chen Gong up, tears welling up in his eyes, but after the tears, there were some inexplicable lights flashing, which of course Chen Gong couldn't see at all.
"Lord, it is not advisable to delay things. If things are too late, things will change. We won't rest at night. Let's rush to Dongping Country as soon as possible."
After the recognition of the master was over, Chen Gong immediately suggested that Liu Bei rush to Dongping Kingdom. After all, staying in Dongjun for one minute longer would be more dangerous.
"Okay, third brother will hold the position in front to open the way, and you will block the way from behind."
"promise."
Now that Chen Gong had spoken, Liu Bei had no objection and personally led ten personal guards to take the lead, while Zhang Fei led ten personal guards to the rear, with Chen Gong and his family in between, and rushed to Dongping Kingdom.
"County magistrate, Chen Gong has escaped."
Early the next morning, the government officials came to the county magistrate's office and reported to them the disappearance of Chen Gong's family.
"What? Are you sure?"
The county magistrate was almost stunned after hearing the news from the Yamen servant. Chen Gong ran away? Why did he run away?
"Today, my little patrol went to the Chen house and found that the door was not opened. You must know that the Chen family has strict rules. Every morning, they open the door much earlier than our patrol time.
Then I asked about the surrounding streets and found out that someone had visited yesterday, so I sent someone to sneak into the Chen Mansion and found that it was already empty."
The Yamen servant directly told the county magistrate how he discovered that Chen Gong had run away.
"Hurry up and follow me to inform General Xiahou Qin."
At this point, the county magistrate knew that he could not delay any longer and immediately set off towards a secret place.
Although Cao Cao did not come to conquer Chen Gong, it did not mean that he could rest assured about this person. Therefore, when he was in charge of Dongjun, he secretly sent Xia Houqin to lead a hundred elite cavalry to station here. The task was to guard Chen Gong.
If you have no choice, you can kill them on the spot.
If you can't be used by me, then you are the enemy. Lao Cao never shows mercy to his enemies.
"General, Chen Gong has escaped."
The magistrate of Dongwuyang County looked at the majestic Xia Houqin with sweat on his head.
"What did you say? Chen Gong ran away? When did it happen?"
Xiahou Qin's voice was as dull as a scalper's.
"I don't know. Today, the government officials went on patrol and saw that the gate of Chen's mansion was closed. After entering, they found that Chen Gong's family had disappeared. Why don't we come and report to the general immediately?"
"Asshole, that means I don't know where Chen Gong is going. Assemble."
The county magistrate didn't know what to do, so Xia Houqin immediately whistled and rallied his troops.
"Du Yu, you take fifty cavalry and go north to search. The remaining fifty cavalry follow me towards Dongping Country. These are the only two directions he can go."
"No, brothers, follow me."
A cavalry general agreed, and then led his fifty cavalrymen towards the north, while Xiahou Qin led the remaining fifty cavalrymen towards the east.
As soon as he left the city gate and walked for a while, Xia Houqin discovered the clue, because there were ruts outside the east city gate, and there were quite a few ruts.
There are few people in Dongwuyang, and there are few caravans. With so many and dense ruts, there is only one possibility, and that is the fleeing Chen family's convoy. They must have gathered here and headed east together.
"Look for the ruts along the way. You will be able to find Chen Gong by following these tracks."
