This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is Lumen Mountain, a famous mountain in Jingzhou.
In the past, when Pang Degong and Sima Hui lived in Lumen Mountain, there were no white people coming and going in the mountain. They were all Confucian scholars. It was very lively and very famous. It was a veritable holy place in Xiangyang.
But Sima Hui and Pang Degong moved to Chengdu, and many great scholars also left with them.
At the same time, the two of them were also labeled as surrendering to the enemy by Liu Biao.
Many people were afraid of Liu Biao's power and drew a clear line with Sima Hui and Pang Degong, and no longer went to Lumen Mountain. As a result, Lumen Mountain became deserted and no one cared about it. Not only that, in the past, Pang Degong and Sima Hui
The thatched cottage where I lived was overgrown with weeds and in a messy state, without any of the charm of the past.
Shi A sent people to investigate the situation in Lumen Mountain, and Wang Can settled in Lumen Mountain.
However, Wang Can did not choose the thatched cottage where Pang Degong and Sima Hui lived in the past, and built a thatched cottage in the mountains and forests.
Only in this way can we ensure that we are not traced by others and ensure our own safety.
After Wang Can settled in the mountains, he methodically prepared a list of people he would contact. The first person on the list was Huang Chengyan. Because this person is not an official in the officialdom, he seems to be idle and wild, but he has a certain amount of energy in Xiangyang. And Huang Yueying
Being in Chengdu, with this connection, Wang Can set his target on Huang Chengyan and wanted to start with Huang Chengyan.
"rustle!"
Outside the thatched house, there was a rustling sound.
Shi A hurriedly walked in, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the people lurking at the foot of the mountain to inquire about the news have sent back the news that Huang Chengyan has entered Lumen Mountain and is wandering around in the mountain."
Wang Can immediately asked: "Is there anyone else around Huang Chengyan?"
Shi A replied: "There is only one person."
Wang Can said: "Bring him up and let me see him."
Shi A had already thought of this matter in his mind and said hurriedly: "My lord, why don't you let me see him for you? We are hiding in Lumen Mountain. Although our whereabouts are hidden and no one knows, it is relatively safe. But Huang Chengyan knows that you are personally
When we come to Jingzhou, we have an insider. If Huang Chengyan leaks the information, it will be detrimental to us."
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I have already prepared."
As he spoke, Wang Can picked up a ghost mask from under the desk and put it on his face. Only his eyes were exposed, and the rest was covered, making it impossible to distinguish. At the same time, what Wang Can was wearing was not made in Yizhou.
The brocade clothes are the coarse linen robes worn by ordinary people in Jingzhou, making them look like they live in Jingzhou.
It's hard to tell the difference in such a dress.
Shi A scratched his head and said with a smile: "If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to worry so much even if you are a humble official."
Wang Can smiled and waved his hand for Shi A to invite someone.
Shi A turned around and left the thatched cottage, quickly disappearing into the forest.
Huang Chengyan was wandering alone in the mountains and forests, leisurely and leisurely. Although he received a message asking him to come to Lumen Mountain to meet someone, Huang Chengyan didn't know how to contact him specifically. If he was really from Yizhou, he would definitely
Huang Chengyan took the initiative to come to him, so Huang Chengyan was not in a hurry and relaxed his mind to admire the grass and trees sprouting in the mountains and forests.
As winter turns to spring, Lumen Mountain has begun to bloom with vitality.
Every plant and tree appears lively and lively.
This is a good time to go sightseeing with friends.
After entering the mountain, he walked for more than half an hour and had already penetrated deep into Lumen Mountain. Suddenly, Huang Chengyan's ears moved and he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him. He knew that the person who was supposed to come had finally arrived.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the man approaching.
"ah!!!"
Even though Huang Chengyan was already prepared, he was also shocked.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Huang Chengyan took a few long breaths to calm down his restless mood.
Shi A cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Huang, you are polite!"
Huang Chengyan directly asked: "Are you from Chengdu? What do you want from me?" Although Huang Chengyan was briefly surprised, he quickly regained his composure without any panic.
Shi A shook his head and said, "I'm just a messenger, I don't know the situation."
While speaking, Shi A took out a black piece of cloth from his sleeve. It was very thick and he couldn't see clearly after covering his eyes.
Seeing this, Huang Chengyan raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "It's really complicated. Although Lumen Mountain is very big, it is not impossible to search. If the army is approaching, do you really think that covering your eyes will be useful?"
Shi A said calmly: "Mr. Huang, I only believe in what I do."
While speaking, Shi A covered Huang Chengyan's eyes with a black cloth and led Huang Chengyan to the mountains.
There were footprints where the two passed by, but after walking for who knows how long, someone appeared from behind and erased the footprints left by the two without leaving a trace. As Huang Chengyan said, Lumen Mountain
It's only so big, so if a big army comes, it won't be easy to hide its traces.
It's just that Lumen Mountain and Hyeon Mountain stand opposite each other across the Han River. With Hyeon Mountain next to it, the difficulty immediately increases. You can hide in Lumen Mountain or in Hyeon Mountain, making it difficult to search.
The two of them kept turning around and around, and finally stopped after a long time.
Shi A took Huang Chengyan outside the thatched cottage and took off the cloth covering Huang Chengyan's eyes.
"Sir, Mr. Huang is here."
After finishing speaking, Shi A waved his hand for Huang Chengyan to enter the room. Wang Can heard Shi A's name and secretly praised Shi A for being smart. At this time, it was obvious that he had to change his title, otherwise his identity would be easily exposed.
Wang Can was wearing a ghost mask and a coarse linen robe, so he was completely unrecognizable.
"sit!"
Wang Can waved his hand and motioned for Huang Chengyan to sit down.
He deliberately changed his speaking voice to appear deeper and different from his original voice.
Huang Chengyan casually lifted up his robe and sat down, staring at Wang Can with his eyes like knives, as if he wanted to see through Wang Can's identity through the mask. But Wang Can sat cross-legged, motionless, as if he was a piece of stone that had experienced the wind and frost.
It has become a stubborn stone and has not changed at all. Huang Chengyan tried to inquire about the situation but found nothing.
After a long time, Huang Chengyan sighed slightly and asked, "How is Yueying?"
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and almost blurted out that it was very good.
But when he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He was just a person staying in Xiangyang to inquire about the situation. He did not go to Chengdu, and he did not know Huang Yueying's recent situation.
If he answered, wouldn't it reveal a bit of information?
Wang Can's mind was spinning, and he quickly thought about how to deal with it. He lowered his voice and said slowly, "Miss Huang's family letter was delivered to Mr. Huang yesterday. You should know the situation!"
Huang Chengyan dusted off his robe and said with a smile: "The letter from home is only one page. The situation is too little. Please tell me in detail."
Seeing that Huang Chengyan was still probing, Wang Can said: "Mr. Huang, if you want to know about Miss Huang's situation, I can make arrangements for you to take your family to Chengdu. What do you think? As for me, I am just a small person in charge of Xiangyang affairs.
Boss, if you ask me, I know nothing."
Huang Chengyan smiled and asked: "Tell me, why are you here with me?"
At this time, Huang Chengyan no longer mentioned Huang Yueying's matter.
Wang Can secretly thought that although Huang Chengyan was aloof from worldly affairs, he was not ignorant of the world. On the contrary, Huang Chengyan had a shrewd mind and was very deep in the city. He was definitely a very cunning old fox.
Wang Can said: "Mr. Huang, I said that I am the person in charge of Xiangyang affairs. You should understand the meaning, right?"
Huang Chengyan looked confused and shook his head: "I don't understand! I don't understand!"
Wang Can secretly scolded Huang Chengyan, an old thief, and said: "Mr. Huang, I will speak frankly. Now our Lord has raised an army to attack Chu, and the army is coming to kill. The Chu country is in danger. I wonder what Mr. Huang thinks?"
Huang Chengyan flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "The Chu army will win, and the Shu army will definitely lose!"
"Hahaha……"
Wang Can suddenly laughed loudly. The laughter was weird, shrill, and very unpleasant.
Immediately, Wang Can kept shaking his head and said: "This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. It's really hilarious. Mr. Huang is a famous scholar in Jingxiang and has great intelligence, but he said against his will that the Chu army will win and Shu will win."
Isn't it fun that the army will be defeated? Do you want me to send people to capture a few people and ask them whether they think the Shu army or the Chu army will win?"
When Huang Chengyan heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he became calm in an instant.
Of course he knew the situation of the Chu and Shu armies.
However, Huang Chengyan knew that others had requests for others, so of course he could speak as he pleased.
Seeing that Huang Chengyan had not let go, Wang Can said straight to the point: "Mr. Huang is a famous scholar in Jingzhou. He can definitely judge the current situation. The Shu army will win and the Chu army will lose. In this case, why doesn't Mr. Huang plan something in advance for the Huang family?"
Fan? As long as the Shu army enters Xiangyang, the Huang family can also get a share of the pie!"
Huang Chengyan shook his head and said, "It is true that the Chu army was defeated by the Shu army, and I admit it. However, this time, the Shu army cannot win and cannot capture Jingzhou."
Wang Can opened his eyes wide, and his heart suddenly jumped.
Huang Chengyan's tone was completely different from before. He was thinking from the bottom of his heart.
