Through the attendants in the house, Wang Can learned that Cai Yong could move freely, and he felt much more at ease.
Entering the backyard, Wang Can asked Cheng Yu and Dian Wei to stay, and he and Gu Yong walked in one after the other.
Gu Yong was a little nervous, with a look of anticipation in his eyes, but there was also a feeling of hometown timidity on his face. Gu Yong was already a middle-aged man in his early thirties. He used to worship Cai Yong as his teacher, but he was just a young and ignorant child.
, now that I have a family, a career, and a child, I never thought I would have the opportunity to meet my teacher, and I have mixed emotions in my heart.
Looking at Cai Yong's residence, Gu Yong stared for a long time.
Wang Can took a deep breath, strode forward, and gently knocked on the door.
"Who!"
An old and hoarse voice came from the house. Who could it be if it wasn't Cai Yong's voice?
"Teacher, the disciple is back."
Wang Can was excited, but a little sour, and his eyes were moist. Standing outside the door, his calmness and composure disappeared, leaving only an excited mood, and he was excited thinking about seeing Cai Yong immediately.
The two people outside the door straightened their chests and waited for the door to open.
"I'm back first, okay, okay!"
Cai Yong's excited voice came from the room.
Footsteps sounded and the door opened. What came into view was a frail old man. Cai Yong was wearing a black robe. His face was slightly pale. There were countless age spots on his cheeks, and ravines were all over Cai Yong's face.
, symbolizing the journey Cai Yong has gone through, only those deep eyes are bright and sparkling with the light of wisdom.
Cai Yong reached out and grabbed Wang Can's arm, which kept shaking.
At this moment, Cai Yong was also extremely excited.
When a person reaches a certain age, there is nothing more he thinks about than his children. Although Cai Yong is accompanied by his grandson and daughter, Wang Can is away from home all year round, which makes Cai Yong miss him very much.
Wang Can is not Cai Yong's son, but he is better than his son.
"Teacher, the disciple is late."
One sentence expresses the guilt in Wang Can's heart.
The old man who had cared for him selflessly was now in his final years, with protruding cheekbones. The hands holding his arms were like dead trees in winter, skinny and bones, and seemed so weak.
Cai Yong said excitedly: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back."
He pulled Wang Can and was about to walk into the house, but found that the person next to him looked familiar. Cai Yong thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out who the person in front of him was, so he asked: "First of all, who is this person?"
?”
When Gu Yong heard this, he felt sad.
Guilty!
Extremely guilty!
Gu Yong's face turned red with embarrassment, and he felt extremely sad. Because he did not visit Cai Yong after many years, Cai Yong could not even remember his face. This was his fault!
"thump!"
Gu Yong knelt on the ground with a bang and cried: "Teacher, my disciple is Gu Yong. I am your disciple Gu Yong."
As he spoke, Gu Yong kowtowed three times.
Cai Yong suddenly realized it, and a look of joy appeared on his face. His old face smiled like flowers blooming in spring, extremely bright. He said happily: "I didn't expect that the old man can see you in his later years, good, good, good!"
"Cai Yong bent down slightly, ready to reach out to help Gu Yong, but when his body moved, the wound on his chest was immediately involved.
The old man is old, in poor health, and injured, and his body cannot stand still.
Wang Can, with quick eyes and quick hands, hurriedly supported Cai Yong and said: "Brother, get up, let's go into the room to talk."
Gu Yong hummed twice, then stretched out his hand to support Cai Yong and walked into the house.
The two of them carefully helped Cai Yong sit down, and then sat down next to Cai Yong. Cai Yong looked at Gu Yong and said with emotion: "Yuantan, when the teacher accepted you as his disciple, you were less than ten years old.
You are still a young boy. In the blink of an eye, the teacher no longer recognizes your appearance. The world has gone through vicissitudes, things have changed and people have changed!"
Gu Yong sat next to Cai Yong, listening to Cai Yong's chatter, and felt excited.
"Clang!"
Just as Cai Yong, Wang Can and Gu Yong were talking, there was a crisp sound outside the door.
A porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and countless water splashes came from the porcelain bowl. Wang Can was listening to Cai Yong's words when he suddenly heard a crisp sound and was unhappy that the visitor had interrupted Cai Yong's words.
He was about to yell and scold, but when he looked up, he choked on his words again, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.
The visitor was none other than Cai Yan, Wang Can's wife.
When Cai Yong was injured, Cai Yan moved out of the palace and lived in Cai Yong's house to take care of Cai Yong.
Just now, Cai Yan went to make some medicine for Cai Yong, so he was not in the room.
Unexpectedly, less than a quarter of an hour later, Wang Can appeared in the house.
In fact, this is also because Wang Can is a disciple of Cai Yong. When he entered the Cai Mansion, the attendants did not report it, so Cai Yong and Cai Yan did not know. Wang Can looked at Cai Yan with pity in his eyes. Although Cai Yan
Yan was still graceful and graceful, but she looked much more haggard, with a tired look in her eyes and a touch of sadness on her face, which made Wang Can feel heartbroken.
His throat rolled twice, but Wang Can found it difficult to speak.
Cai Ya stared at Wang Can, her eyes turned red, sparkling with crystal tears, and she shed two lines of tears. Seeing this, Cai Yong said: "First of all, I want to talk to Yuan Tan, and you and Zhao Ji (Wen Ji is
To avoid Sima Zhao's taboo) go out first."
Cai Ya looked at Wang Can affectionately, her eyes fell on Gu Yong, and asked: "Dad, is this Brother Gu?"
He heard Gu Yong's name and recognized Gu Yong.
Gu Yong hurriedly greeted Cai Yan, but Cai Yong wanted to create an opportunity for Wang Can and Cai Ya, and said, "Okay, you two leave first, and Yuan Tan and I will have a chat alone."
Wang Can understood Cai Yong's thoughts and stood up and walked towards Cai Yan.
He reached out and took Cai Ya's jade hand, and clearly felt Cai Ya's body tremble.
The two left, leaving Cai Yong and Gu Yong in the house. At this time, Gu Yong opened the chat bag and talked about the past with Cai Yong. He listened to Cai Yong talking about leaving Jiangdong and was filled with sadness.
On the other side, in Cai Yan's bedroom.
Wang Can hugged Cai Yan and listened to Cai Yan talking non-stop.
In the end, Cai Yan burst into tears. After crying, Cai Yan fell asleep in Wang Can's arms. Wang Can looked at Cai Yan's tired face and felt guilty in his heart, but his anger also burned brightly.
The assassin attacked Cai Yong and Wang Zhen. Cai Yong was seriously injured and Wang Zhen was also injured. However, Cai Yan was the saddest because his old father was willing to be injured in order to protect Wang Zhen, which made Cai Yan feel guilty. Fortunately, Cai Yong was killed
After being rescued, if Cai Yong died to save Wang Zhen, it would definitely be a knot in Cai Yan's heart that would be difficult to untie.
Wang Can reached out and stroked Cai Yan's hair, with tenderness in his eyes.
Cai Yan fell asleep and didn't wake up until the afternoon.
When she opened her eyes, Cai Yan found that she was still in Wang Can's arms, and a blush rose on her face. By this time, Wang Can's arms were already numb, but they were still motionless.
Cai Yan whispered: "Husband, you are finally back."
There was emotion and a huge stone in my heart fell to the ground.
Wang Can smiled and said softly: "Everything will be fine when I come back. Eat something first to fill your stomach. After eating, you go back to the palace to see Pingping (Wang Zhen's nickname) and take good care of him.
"I still have something to do, so I won't go back to the palace for the time being." Wang Can ordered his servants to bring a bowl of porridge for Cai Yan to eat, and then personally put Cai Yan into the carriage and asked the soldiers to escort him back to the palace.
Wang Can turned back and came to Cai Yong's house again.
Cai Yong and Gu Yong were chatting and laughing happily.
Wang Can walked into the room, saluted Cai Yong, turned to Gu Yong, and said: "Brother, I have asked Cheng Yu to arrange your affairs. If you come this time, you will stay in Chengdu and work with Li Ru, the Minister of Household Affairs.
, managing the affairs of the household department. Cheng Yu and Dian Wei are both at the teacher's house, you can go to him directly."
Cai Yong immediately said: "Yuan Tan, go!"
"Yes, disciple, resign."
Gu Yong knew that Wang Can and Cai Yong had something to talk about, so he simply left. Furthermore, Wang Can arranged things for him, and Gu Yong had to talk to Cheng Yu and find out what was going on.
"Cough! Cough!"
Cai Yong sat for a long time and felt a little tired. He said, "First of all, let's go for a walk outside and talk while walking."
"yes!"
Wang Can supported Cai Yong, walked out of the house slowly, and spread out in the yard.
Cai Yong asked: "First of all, you stay here because you want to ask me about Ping Ping's assassination, right?"
"Teacher Mingjian!" Wang Can said in a deep voice.
Cai Yong asked again: "You want to ask if this matter has anything to do with Dong Hui, right?"
Wang Can nodded truthfully and did not deny it.
Because the assassins chose to assassinate Cai Yong and Wang Zhen, but did not assassinate Wang You, which is very strange. Once Wang Zhen and Cai Yong were killed, Wang Can only had Wang You as his son. With one dead, there was no successor.
It was Wang You who was out of town. Wang Can was suspicious of Dong Hui, which was normal. As long as the murderer was not found, Dong Hui was suspected.
Cai Yong asked again: "So what if it's Dong Hui first? So what if it's not?"
Before Wang Can could speak, Cai Yong continued: "At first, I also thought it might be Dong Hui, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't do it. Furthermore, the method was too obvious, and you could tell at a glance that it was aimed at us.
. If you analyze it carefully, if the assassin kills me and Ping Ping, you will feel great grief in your heart. In anger, you may harm innocent people and lose your mind. If the assassin fails to kill me, Dong Hui will be suspected again, so I guess there is someone
To stir up trouble."
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Teacher, you mean that Cao Cao sent someone to do it."
Cai Yong said: "It can only be said that Cao Cao is the most suspicious. After all, you are still fighting. However, you have offended many people over the years, and there may be other people dealing with you. Investigate this matter carefully, and by the way, the situation in Chengdu can be smoothed out.
.”
Wang Can said: "Teacher, don't worry, I will give you an explanation."
Cai Yong waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go back and comfort Zhao Ji. She has worked hard during this period. It is not easy to take care of an old man like me and hold back the grief."
Wang Can helped Cai Yong back to the room, then turned and left.
