Chapter 3 Desolate Stranger, spending the rest of his life coldly
Chapter 3: A stranger in a foreign land, spending the rest of his life in coldness
The eyebrows above the moon.
The wine shop was closed, and after taking stock of the income, it was just enough to maintain the wine shop's operations.
There is still a long way to go before Yi Xiaotian's dream of becoming a rich man.
"Oh, it's hard for a rich man to be a man without money!"
Yi Xiaotian let out a sigh.
Traveling back to the troubled times, he didn't have many ideas. Fighting and killing was so boring. It was a waste of time and energy. If he wasn't careful, his head might move at any time...
How good it is to be a rich man, have some property, and marry a woman who is as bright as spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon. You will be a winner in life.
Of course, it is best to help a more reliable "boss" and end this troubled world as soon as possible... Peace and development are the mainstream of the era!
Yi Xiaotian was seen sighing.
Cai Zhaoji on the side stroked the black hair on her head. "Sir, are you sentimental again?"
When she asked such a question, her eyes turned, as if she had something on her mind.
"You are the one who is sentimental, right?" Yi Xiaotian asked back.
"Sir." Cai Zhaoji's tone became more solemn. "There are several businessmen from Luoyang today, and I asked about it out of curiosity..."
"What did you find out?" Yi Xiaotian raised his head and asked curiously.
"Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang to ashes with a fire. King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns took advantage of the situation and went to Luoyang to plunder."
Cai Zhaoji spoke slowly, "I heard that King Zuo Xian kidnapped many women from Luoyang City to the territory of the Xiongnu. That's outside the Great Wall, playing the harp and lute? I'm afraid these women will never be able to return to the Central Plains in their lifetime, right?"
Speaking of this, Cai Zhaoji's eyes were full of tears, a little regretful, but more of a kind of fear...
She was thinking that if she had not followed her husband to Yanzhou and this wine shop, she would have been kidnapped by the Huns like these women and wandered outside the Great Wall for the rest of her life, right?
Yi Xiaotian can naturally understand her mood...
Wasn't Cai Zhaoji in history just like the one who was robbed by the Huns, played the harp and pipa, suffered humiliation, and spent the rest of her life in a cold and miserable state as a stranger in a foreign land?
Fortunately, she was abducted here in advance.
Every time he thinks about this, Yi Xiaotian feels that he has done a good deed and his realm has been elevated again!
"Alas..." Cai Zhaoji sighed again.
"Don't think about this!" Yi Xiaotian shook his head. "Sir, I have told you before that everything is God's will, everything is fate, and it is destined in the end. It is not easy to survive in this world, but you don't have the time to do it.
Help others feel sad."
"That's not it." Cai Zhaoji wiped away her tears with her sleeves. "I was thinking of my father. Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang showed how vicious his thoughts were. My father was by his side, and I was just worried... worried that something might happen to him!"
"Cai Yong?" Yi Xiaotian read out the name of Cai Zhaoji's father and thought Weiwei. "There are not many celebrities like your father in the civil and military dynasties. What's more, he is loyal to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo will not touch him. On the contrary,
yes…"
When the first half of the sentence came out, Cai Zhaoji felt relieved, but the second half... made her frown tightly.
"What's the opposite?"
"What if Dong Zhuo is killed? I'm afraid your father Cai Yong will be implicated...and in danger." Yi Xiaotian said. "After all, this is a disaster that he cannot avoid!"
In fact, he had already recalled Cai Yong's ending in his heart.
Because of Dong Zhuo's involvement, he was ruthlessly killed by Wang Yun, and even got the dirty reputation of "a traitor to Dong Zhuo", but it was Cao Cao who helped him clean it up decades later.
"Then..." Cai Zhaoji hurriedly walked up to Yi Xiaotian. "Sir, didn't you say that Dong Zhuo was about to die tragically? Then my father... didn't... didn't he..."
By the end of the story, Cai Zhaoji's beauty had turned pale, and her tears could not stop flowing down her face.
Woo woo woo…
嘤嘤嘤…
Yi Xiaotian hates seeing women cry the most.
Suddenly, it piqued his mood... as if he had been stung by a bee.
After calculating the time, Yi Xiaotian thought of something and quickly reminded, "Zhaoji, don't cry yet, there is still a chance of improvement now!"
"Ah... turning point?" Cai Zhaoji hurriedly wiped away her tears and looked at Yi Xiaotian with great longing.
"You can send a letter to your father right now, just say..."
Yi Xiaotian thought for a moment. "Just say that Dong Zhuo is about to be killed by his adopted son. If he sees that the situation is wrong, he must not hesitate and run away. Find a place that is inaccessible and live in seclusion to get through this difficulty first!"
"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian seemed to think of something again. "By the way, you must tell him...tell him not to think about those ancient books...life is far more important than books! And remind him that if he can't run, not only
He and the entire Cai family will be stigmatized as traitors!"
Literary men all have backbone.
However, he also cares about face and reputation. If he doesn't point out these advantages and disadvantages to him, I am afraid that the old man Cai Yong will not be able to stand up and will follow Dong Xiangguo. By then, Cai Zhaoji will have to complain again and cannot stand it.
ah!
"Okay, sir, I'm going to write right now, I'm going to write right now..."
Cai Zhaoji did not dare to hesitate and hurried back to the study... quickly wrote a dense seal script on the brocade.
Yi Xiaotian looked at the sky through the window.
As the saying goes, do your best and obey fate, whether old man Cai Yong can escape this disaster... He himself doesn't know for sure.
I wish the horse delivering the message could run faster!
…
…
A full month.
The letter from Yanzhou has just been transported to Chang'an by fast horse...
At noon, Cai Yong received a letter from his daughter Cai Zhaoji. He couldn't help but feel a little sad when he recalled his daughter's life.
"It's all my fault that charlatan... cheated my daughter away! I'm so angry!"
"What do you mean by talent? In my opinion, he is just a liar, a complete liar."
"What kind of predictions are like gods? In this world? How can there be any predictions that things are like gods? It's just nonsense!"
When Cai Yong thought of Yi Xiaotian, he felt angry and filled with anger.
A good daughter got married smoothly and her daughter Zhao Ji was about to live a happy life.
However, my daughter didn’t know what kind of ecstasy drug she was given, but she was frightened by Yi Xiaotian, a charlatan... and even... she was abducted to Yanzhou!
If it weren't for the remnants of the Yellow Turbans spreading all over the country and the unrest in all states and counties, Cai Yong would have brought a watermelon knife and killed him in front of Yi Xiaotian!
Now, Chang'an and Yanzhou are more than a thousand miles apart... I am afraid I will never see my daughter again in this life!
Cai Yong's beard almost became angry when he thought of this!
Quickly unfold the brocade cotton...
It was his daughter's handwriting, with small seal characters, quite similar to the artistic conception of his "Fei Bai Shu". Cai Yong was comforted for a while...
But after just a moment of comfort, Cai Yong's eyes suddenly widened and his brows stood up.
"nonsense!"
The hand holding the brocade could not help but tremble... It took a long time to say the words "nonsense".
"It's nonsense. Dong Guoxiang is General Lu's adoptive father? How could General Lu kill Dong Guoxiang because of a woman? This is obviously nonsense!"
"You want your father to run away? Find a place to live in seclusion? From this look, it's all nonsense from the charlatan Yi Xiaotian..."
"My anger is killing me, my anger is killing me!"
Cai Yong covered his chest and felt a feeling of "My daughter has grown up and is disobedient." Why did Yi Xiaotian send all the nonsense here? It was... so disappointing!
"well…"
With a long sigh, Cai Yong felt very complicated, "Zhaoji...blame me, blame me for not teaching you well, otherwise, how could you believe this charlatan's nonsense!"
After chanting this sentence, Cai Yong's eyes narrowed, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
But at this moment.
"Master Cai, Master Cai..."
A confidant quickly broke into Cai Yong's mansion. "It's not good, it's not good..." His tone was urgent and his expression was extremely panicked. Something big must have happened!
"What's going on? Tell me slowly!" Cai Yong put away the brocade and asked in detail.
The confidant dared not stop and spoke hurriedly.
"Dong Xiangguo...Dong Xiangguo was...killed by General Lu! Just now, at the Rain Stopping Platform. I heard, I heard it was because of a woman named...Diao Chan..."
As soon as this statement came out.
Cai Yong was completely stunned, and he burst into tears!
