"Master, the city gate is blocked. We probably have to wait a while before we can enter the city."
Pei Yuanshao was sitting on the carriage and saw pedestrians queuing up outside the city gate. Especially at the city gate, an old man was arguing with the officers and soldiers, which blocked all the people who wanted to enter the city gate.
"Well, what happened?"
Wang Can heard this and got out of the carriage.
His eyes fell on the city gate, and he saw an old man wearing a dark brown robe standing at the city gate. The old man pointed at the general standing at the city gate and angrily said: "Luoyang City is the emperor's important place, you guards
The city gate is our duty, why should we set up private checkpoints at the city gate to block the people coming in and out? How unbecoming is this?"
The old man's voice was old and deep, full of confidence.
When he spoke, he was so upright that the people standing outside the city looked at him sideways.
The general who set up a private checkpoint was livid, looked at the old man, and said angrily: "Old man, go back if you don't pay the money. Don't complain in front of me. If you anger me, you won't be able to bear the consequences. It's up to you.
You are old enough, so pay the money quickly, otherwise you will go back and don't block the pedestrians behind you."
The old man hummed: "I'm standing right here, what do you do with me?"
With a clang, the sword on the defender's waist was unsheathed. The bright sword flashed with cold murderous intent. The sword was placed in front of the old man's neck. As long as the sword was moved forward an inch, the blade could cut the old man's throat.
Wang Can was thinking about how to meet Dong Zhuo. After seeing the old man, his heart moved.
Now Dong Zhuo controls Luoyang, and the people who defend the city are all Xiliang soldiers, and they are Dong Zhuo's confidant generals. However, the old man dared to scold these soldiers even though he knew that Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang. It is obvious that this old man is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not
He would not stand at the city gate and scold the generals who set up private checkpoints.
Wang Can pushed aside the pedestrians who were crowding in front of him, walked up to the old man, took out a couple of silver coins from his waist, handed it to the general who was guarding the city, and said: "General, Taishi Dong sent a general to lead soldiers to guard the gate of Luoyang City.
You check people with evil intentions on behalf of Grand Master Dong, instead of letting the general exploit the people. If the general sets up a private checkpoint and exploits the people, Grand Master Dong knows about it and affects Grand Master Dong's reputation, I am afraid that Grand Master Dong's anger will not be as simple as killing one or two people.
How about this, I gave this old gentleman his toll money, you let him pass, and my carriage is also behind, you let us pass too!"
Wang Can smiled and handed the money in his hand to the general's hand, smiling coldly.
The general was stunned by what Wang Can said. When he thought of Dong Zhuo's power, his face suddenly became embarrassed. He reached out to take Wang Can's money and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go, don't block the people behind you."
Pedestrians crossing.”
"Old sir, hurry up and leave. The people behind you have to hurry."
Wang Can smiled at the old man and pointed at the pedestrians who were waiting in line to enter the city.
"Oh, yes, yes, I'll leave right away!" The old man smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I have something to say to you after we enter the city."
Wang Can waved to Pei Yuanshao, who was sitting on the carriage outside the city gate, and Pei Yuanshao immediately drove the carriage into Luoyang City. Two carriages, one behind the other, slowly entered the city.
The old man and Wang Can entered the city one after the other.
When the carriage stopped at the corner of the city wall, the old man's amiable expression became embarrassed and said: "Young man, although I thank you for your kindness, your actions have only made the generals guarding the city more arrogant, and it is really not worth encouraging.
Luoyang City is at the feet of the Emperor, but a general who defends the city is so arrogant, this trend cannot last long!"
Wang Can shook his head and said, "Mr. Do you know Grand Master Dong?"
The old man nodded and replied: "Of course I know Master Dong. This time I returned to Luoyang City with my family and it was Master Dong who invited me. However, I didn't expect that Master Dong actually let his soldiers get stuck at the city gate and squeezed the hard-earned money of passers-by. I didn't expect this
We must report to Master Dong, otherwise if things go on like this, all the people who enter Luoyang City will be oppressed by the officers and soldiers."
Wang Can was shocked, but his face didn't show the slightest surprise.
On the contrary, Wang Can still showed a look of disdain on his face and whispered: "Old sir, you actually work for Grand Master Dong?"
The old man saw Wang Can's expression and sighed. He naturally knew the meaning of Wang Can's words. Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and abolished and established things. Now Dong Zhuo has been despised by everyone. The old man actually took refuge in Dong Zhuo at this time. Wouldn't he be helping Zhou?
For evil?
Shaking his head, the old man said helplessly: "You think I think that my family and relatives are all in the hands of Grand Master Dong, so there is really nothing I can do about it." At this point, the old man's eyes showed anger, but he said again: "
It is said that in one's position one is in charge of one's own affairs. I was summoned back to Luoyang by Taishi Dong to take up an important position in the imperial court. Naturally, it was a matter of depriving the emperor of his salary and being loyal to him. The soldiers under Dong Taishi were arrogant and disturbed the people, so I should give advice to Taishi Dong. This is
The duties of husband and elder are unavoidable."
Wang Can looked stunned, not realizing that the old man had such an idea.
He is really a responsible old man.
Wang Can showed admiration on his face, bowed his hands and said: "The old gentleman is so righteous, the younger generation admires him!"
The old man shook his head, and a look of loneliness flashed across his face. He was just trying to make ends meet, and there was no such thing as being righteous.
"Dad, haven't we already passed the city gate, why haven't we gone home yet?"
A clear and sweet sound like orioles coming out of the valley sounded from the carriage. The curtains of the carriage window were opened, and the head of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl stuck out of the window. Her eyes fell on the old man, with a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.
The girl's eyes glanced at Wang Can, then fell on the old man again, urging the old man to get up quickly.
The girl is extremely beautiful and has a temperament like a fairy descending into the mortal world without causing any dust.
The girl's eyebrows are like distant daisy, her eyes are like autumn water, her tall and small nose is white and round, her pretty rosy face shows a hint of blush, and her pair of black eyes are like a pool of spring water, extremely clear. The girl raised her sandalwood lips lightly, and her voice was like
The jade beads fell on the jade plate, crisp and sweet, so beautiful.
Wang Can's expression was stunned, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
There are such stunning girls in the world. If you can have such a girl, you will have no regrets in this life!
But a trace of embarrassment flashed through Wang Can's heart. The girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he felt so dirty. Could it be that he was a lolicon? Such a thought flashed through Wang Can's mind, but was suppressed by Wang Can in an instant.
He was just appreciating it, just appreciating it, hehe...
"Zhao Ji, what are you doing out here? Go back quickly."
The old man scolded, took out an extremely beautifully made post from his arms, handed it to Wang Can, and said: "I have something important to do today, so I can't talk to you in detail. After you settle down, you can hold the post."
Come to my house, I have something important to tell you, well, my surname is Cai, my first name is Yong, my given name is Bo Zhe, don’t forget it.”
After finishing speaking, Cai Yong returned to the carriage. The driver whipped his whip and the carriage rumbled forward.
In the carriage, the girl looked unhappy and said: "Dad, that man is just a passerby, why did you waste so much time? Besides, when you are at the city gate, you can just give some money to the generals guarding the city. With those
What does a general do with general knowledge?"
Cai Yong smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Zhaoji is not angry anymore. My vision is not wrong. The young man has a majestic appearance and a compassionate heart. At the same time, he was soft-spoken when he spoke at the city gate."
He was able to forcefully force the defending general to let us enter the city without daring to pursue him. He is a very good man. He is such a young and talented man, so naturally I want to see him."
"Humph, you are just nosy!" the girl muttered angrily.
"Hahaha...you are really petty." The old man smiled and gently rubbed the girl's head.
Wang Can took Cai Yong's invitation and was stunned. He had long known that this old man was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he was actually Cai Yong. He was very good and powerful, and Cai Yong's daughter was so beautiful.
Now that I have met Cai Yong, doesn’t it mean that those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first?
Wang Can chuckled, took back the invitation, returned to the carriage, and asked Pei Yuanshao to drive towards the city.
