Wang Can and Pang Tong parted ways in Maicheng, and then both went to Jingzhou.
Although Wang Can's whereabouts were known to Pang Tong, Wang Can believed that Pang Tong would not leak the news.
A lonely and arrogant person would not do such a thing.
Moreover, Wang Can hid his traces all the way and was not discovered by anyone. The group of people drove non-stop, and after several days, they finally entered the boundaries of Xiangyang City.
As the carriage approached Xiangyang, the soldiers accompanying it cheered up and were extremely vigilant.
The closer you get, the more dangerous it is.
Xiangyang City is already Liu Biao's hinterland. If Xiangyang is discovered by Liu Biao's soldiers, they will definitely be endlessly chased and intercepted. It will definitely be difficult to escape by then, so we must be careful.
Dian Wei did not sit on the shaft of the carriage to drive, but sat in the carriage.
This way, it would not be conspicuous. After all, Dian Wei and Wang Can had come to Xiangyang. If Dian Wei had been sitting on the shaft of the car, it would have been too eye-catching. Moreover, Dian Wei's appearance was different from ordinary people, so it would be easy for anyone to notice him.
In the carriage, Dian Wei couldn't help but ask: "Lord, in one more day, we can arrive at Xiangyang City. The city is full of Liu Biao's soldiers and confidants, and you have been in and out of the city gate before, so it is easy to check.
You have been discovered. Amon has also led troops to attack Jingzhou. The situation between the two sides is tense. If you are discovered, will it be difficult?"
Although Dian Wei was brave, he was worried about Wang Can's safety.
Entering Xiangyang City is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Wang Can said calmly: "Tiger, don't worry, I know the severity. Xiangyang City is heavily guarded, which is not conducive to our activities. I will not enter the city, and I will not show my face."
After Dian Wei heard this, he felt a little relieved.
As long as you don't go into the city, no matter what happens, you can have a place to hide and escape.
After a pause, Wang Can shouted: "Stop the car and ask Shi A to come over!"
The two carriages stopped immediately, Shi A hurriedly came to Wang Can's carriage, and then the two carriages continued on their way. Although Dian Wei, Wang Can and Shi A were sitting in the carriage, it seemed a bit crowded, but they could still barely sit down.
.
Shi'a looked humble, clasped his fists and asked, "My lord, I have summoned you from a humble position. What do you want me to do?"
Wang Can said solemnly: "First thing, you immediately send someone to find out who else lives in Lumen Mountain outside Xiangyang City. Lumen Mountain was originally lived by Pang De, but later Pang De and Sima Hui left. No.
I don’t know if it’s abandoned or not. If no one lives up there, we’ll stay in Lumen Mountain for the time being and not go to Xiangyang City.”
"promise!"
Shi A nodded in agreement and waited for Wang Can's next words.
Wang Can continued: "The second thing is to arrange for someone to send home letters from Cai Ya and Huang Yueying. One letter is sent to Cai Mao's house, and the other is sent to Huang Chengyan's house. Wu Huang has been in charge of Jingzhou's Hero Building for several years.
Although it is difficult to develop and grow due to the pressure from the Jingzhou family, you should have this ability, right?"
Shi Axiao said: "My lord, the situation in Jingzhou Hero Tower has improved greatly. Because of the alliance between Chu and Shu, he has had the opportunity to develop. Now it has penetrated into various places, and it will definitely be completed."
Wang Can nodded and said: "This is the best!"
Immediately, Shi A asked: "Lord, what are we doing in Jingzhou?"
At this time, Shi A had an idea about the purpose of the trip.
Wang Can said seriously: "The first is to instigate the civil servants and generals under Liu Biao, which is the most important thing; the second is to find talented people. Pang Tong is one of them, and Zhuge Liang is also one of them. As for the rest, it depends on the situation.
.”
"Yes, I'll make arrangements now!"
Shi A immediately got out of the carriage and went to arrange things.
…
In Xiangyang City, Cai Mansion.
Although Cai Mao coordinated the affairs of Zhuyang County and Baokang County, allowing Wenpin and Zhang Yun to cooperate with each other to block the Shu army, Cai Mao still stayed in Xiangyang and did not lead his troops to leave. In other words, as long as Zhuyang County and Baokang County
If the county can block the Shu army, Cai Mao will not have to lead the troops to fight and can only stay in Xiangyang.
It's called reuse, but in fact he has been deprived of military power and will no longer go to war.
On this day, the old housekeeper hurried to the study.
He held a letter in his hand, and the handwriting on the envelope was Cai Ya's.
In the study, Cai Hao took the envelope from Cai Ya, confirmed that the letter was indeed written by Cai Ya, and then asked: "Who sent the letter? Have you checked the situation?"
The old housekeeper shook his head and said: "Master, the messenger left after delivering the missive's letter. The old slave also got the letter from the concierge and did not take it personally."
Cai Mao's face darkened and he whispered: "Xiaoya's letter must be kept secret and must not be leaked. If anyone leaks the news, I will skin him!"
The cold tone made the old housekeeper feel cold.
"Yes Yes!!"
The old housekeeper nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely inform the person who just knew the news.
The old housekeeper also knew that the situation between Chu and Shu was very tense, especially the fierce attack of the Shu army, which made Liu Biao's nerves very sensitive. If Liu Biao knew that Cai Ya had written a letter home at this time, he would definitely be furious and say
Maybe Cai Mao was directly thought to be having an affair with a foreign enemy, and the situation would be dire, so the old housekeeper was very careful.
Cai Hao waved his hand and asked the old housekeeper to retreat.
The door closed, Cai Mao opened the envelope and took out Cai Ya's letter.
After he read it quickly, a bitter smile appeared on his face. The reason was for no other reason, because Cai Ya directly said in the letter that she would not marry Liu Biao, but that she fell in love with Wang Can and wanted to marry Wang Can. Such a thing,
It's true what Huang Chengyan said: misfortune depends on blessing and misfortune lies on it. It's hard to predict clearly.
However, Cai Mao was worried.
In the current situation, it is not as easy as Cai Ya said. Is it possible to marry if you want? Obviously impossible! Later, Cai Mao burned Cai Ya's letter, ensuring that there would be no verification.
This kind of thing must be done with caution.
…
At the same time, Huang Mansion.
Huang Chengyan personally received the letter home from Huang Yueying, because the letter was not delivered through the servants at home, but was placed directly on the desk in Huang Chengyan's study. Putting the letter on the desk in such a careless manner, it must be ensured that it can only be
Huang Chengyan saw it and could not be seen by others. From this, we can see the power of the Hero Building.
Huang Chengyan didn't think too much about it. After reading Huang Yueying's letter, he immediately smiled.
Things turned out exactly as he expected.
Instead of marrying Liu Biao, Cai Ya might marry Wang Can.
At the same time, Huang Yueying also talked about her own situation. Now Huang Yueying is obsessed with the strange arts of the Academy of Sciences all day long, very happy, and there are many remnants of pre-Qin Mohist paintings, which makes Huang Yueying like a treasure house. In the end, Huang Yueying
Yueying also expressed her attitude that she was determined not to marry Zhuge Liang and asked Huang Chengyan to leave the matter alone.
After Huang Chengyan read it, he was both happy and forced to smile.
He was happy because he was also a little moved. Although Huang Chengyan was a famous scholar in Jingxiang and had profound knowledge, he also liked these strange things very much. Otherwise, Huang Yueying would not have the opportunity to come into contact with these things. Huang Chengyan felt itchy in his heart, and he had something to do.
The idea of visiting the Chengdu Academy of Sciences is unfortunately not possible at the moment.
As for the matter between Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, Huang Chengyan gave up.
It's impossible not to give up.
Zhuge Liang was very talented and obviously a talented person. Huang Chengyan liked him very much, but he would not force his daughter to marry Zhuge Liang. Huang Chengyan would not do such a thing.
Like Cai Mao, Huang Chengyan burned the letter after reading it.
At this time, the door opened with a creak.
Huang Chengyan's wife Pingpingtingting walked in and said softly: "Husband, someone just sent a message outside the house, saying that an old friend of yours invited you to go to Lumen Mountain at noon tomorrow."
Huang Chengyan frowned when he heard this.
Old friend?
Sima Hui and Pang Degong both went to Chengdu. Does he have any real old friends in Xiangyang?
Could it be that they are from Chengdu, or have the two of them returned?
For a moment, Huang Chengyan had some wild thoughts in his mind. After all, he had just received Huang Yueying's letter, and now someone took the initiative to send a letter, which made him instinctively connect. After thinking about it, Huang Chengyan said cautiously: "Don't tell anyone about this matter.
, if someone comes to see me tomorrow, you say I went sightseeing, do you understand?"
Huang Chengyan's wife nodded solemnly, did not object, and did not ask any questions.
