In the end, it was Hou Ying who rescued Chen Si and said: "Sir, I was going to Huafang Nulu to take Chen Si with me. Because of his young age, no one can guard him. The fourth brother is a gentleman, he will not see or listen to incest. .”
Chen Si calmed down and everyone stopped making fun of him. They calmed down and waited for Hou Ying to continue. Hou Ying continued: "Although Qifeng is a commercial port, it is spread in all directions. In fact, the rice from Daliang is used to exchange treasures from all directions: crowns from Qi, materials from Chu, silk from Shu, and jade from Qin. Food is not its wealth. As soon as the Qin people arrived, they used Wealth is exchanged for grain, and the price is twice as high as the market price. Therefore, people from the four villages compete to sell grains in order to get a higher price. These four brothers saw that grain carts from the four villages gathered together."
Chen Sidao: "Yes, yes. I saw that Huayang of Han also sold grain to Qifeng, and he was captured by Wei Wei."
Hou Ying said to Chen Si: "You said you left Qifeng with the convoy, but the convoy was captured by the Wei army. This team is from Han Huayang, is that true?"
Chen Sidao: "Of course."
Hou Ying said: "You didn't say it in detail, Mr. Bao, so now I'll tell you in detail."
When Chen Si saw that Hou Ying was serious, he became serious. After carefully recalling it, he said again: "I followed Mr. back to Huafang. At the entrance of the square, I saw Mr. Zhu coming to talk with the old man of Huafang. Mr. then led me to hide under the eaves. When everyone dispersed, he ordered me to greet him. Entering the distinguished guest. Suddenly I saw a motorcade pouring out, with Mr. and me on both sides. However, Mr. Lu first said to follow Lu Bo, who is also a disciple of Mr. Xinling. I saw Lu Bo and signaled to accompany him. I invited the distinguished guest to follow Lu Bo. On the way It was all right. The front team was there to take care of us all when we passed through the pass. My distinguished guests and I followed Lu Bo. Nothing happened all the way, and Lu Bo did not talk to me. - Until the wilderness, the team was sleeping in the wild. At midnight, suddenly something happened in all directions. When the fire started, more than a hundred people gathered around. Some people in the team screamed "there are thieves" and fled in all directions. Most of them were surprised, but the carriages and animals could not sit still. The distinguished guests were also shocked and doubtful. When they arrived, Lu Bo came out. When I saw him, I knew that he was a soldier of the Wei Dynasty. The distinguished guest looked at ease. At that time, someone introduced him to Mr. Zhang and said, "This is a Korean." It turned out that he was a person from the chief minister. After the two greetings were completed, he and Mr. Zhang went to the camp first. . I followed the guard under the car, so I heard his appearance. I know the appearance of his Huayang Lieutenant, and his name is not given. "
Hou Ying asked: "Who knows Han Bushen?...Who knows Han Bushen?...Can you hear it?"
One person said: "I heard from an elder that Han Gui's son is a member of the Han family. His family is poor and he doesn't like to learn. He often travels with the young masters and others. He likes to travel in the city and is a lowly person."
Hou Ying said: "Who is the elder? How do you know about your family?"
The man said: "The elder is the father of the clan. He has a shop in the market. He is not a frequent visitor, so he knows about it."
Hou Ying said: "When you are traveling with the princes, why do you know that you don't name them, and you don't mention the names of the princes?"
The man said: "I don't know this. I only heard it through the ears of the elders."
Hou Ying said: "If you don't apply for the prime minister, Huayang Wei, Huayang Wei must be the prince of Han. Judging from this, if you don't apply, you must be an extraordinary person, but he is also a wise and brave man."
Chen Sidao: "He is lean and lean, so he must not be a brave person; his eyes are narrow, and he seems to be good at arithmetic; he is not powerful, so he is not above others."
Others coaxed: "How good are the four brothers? You can give us a divination!"
Hou Ying nodded with satisfaction and said: "Although it is an exaggeration, it makes sense." After receiving Hou Ying's praise, Chen Si looked around proudly, and the people around him also cast admiring glances.
Hou Ying said: "You are talking about your distinguished guest. Who is this distinguished guest?"
Chen Sidao: "Sir, you just mentioned that you are a distinguished guest, but I didn't know about it at first. When I met Lord Xinling, I found out that he was the title of Kaifen Ling and Wei. - It's not my father's question, so I really don't dare to say anything."
Hou Ying said: "That's what you said. When sir left the city, he asked me to explore where the two of them were. I told them that they were in the flower shop, and sir led you there."
Chen Sidao: "My father knew about it a long time ago. How did he know that the two of them were in Huafang before he came to open the seal?"
Hou Ying still replied incomprehensibly: "If you don't know, you have to do nothing. But if you do something, you will know." Before anyone could say more, Hou Ying asked first: "Why did Lord Xinling talk to these two people? "
Chen Si recalled it carefully and replied: "Mr. You have violated military discipline. Please join me in the camp to help me, and you will be able to redeem your merits." Mr. Che came to see me again, and Mr. Zhang said: "Mr. Che went into Qifeng alone to rescue the two princes." Therefore, I know that the distinguished guest is actually the second prince in Qifeng. He has lost his territory and is now entering the camp. Pay off the crime and make meritorious service."
Hou Ying said: "Are you also going to meet Lord Xinling?"
Chen Si blushed and said, "Mr. Zhang also recommended me, so I have to pay homage to Jin."
Hou Ying said: "Why do you recommend Mr. Zhang?"
Chen Sidao: "Mr. Zhang said: 'Following the guard Chen Si, he advanced and retreated well, and his actions were effective. It was only thanks to the strength of the two men that the two men got out of the tiger's den.' Your Majesty said: 'Where is the fourth brother Chen?' I will pay my respects immediately." Mr. Ling. Your Majesty said: "Where is Brother Chen's hometown?" I replied: "A humble family lives in the countryside and casts a beam to make a living. Fortunately, Mr. Che paid no attention to it and followed him around."
Hou Ying asked: "What do you ask, Your Majesty?"
Chen Sidao: "Your Majesty will not speak to me anymore. Instead, I ordered the distinguished guests to enter the camp first, followed by Mr. Che and Han Bushen, and Mr. Guo to protect them. Only Mr. Zhang is left to protect the rear team."
Hou Ying said: "The two princes entered the camp to pay for their crimes and performed meritorious service. Did they come from the mouth of Lord Xinling?"
Chen Sidao: "Of course." He recalled it again, stood up, and learned while gesticulating: "Jun Xinling said: 'You are a minister of the king, how can I sin against you? I am a lonely young man in charge of the army, I hope that the two ministers will assist you. .' The two said: 'How dare you, the guilty minister. I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse.'"
One person asked: "Mr. Xinling asked the two of them to help, why did the two of them reply, 'How dare I, the guilty minister'? Are they unwilling to help?"
Hou Ying explained: "What kind of person is Lord Xinling? If two people can help each other, wouldn't they be complementary to each other? Therefore, it is said, 'How dare you, the guilty minister.' But despite the hard work of the ministers' dogs and horses, they dare not claim to be assistants. They are still willing to join the camp and perform meritorious services. , but not as an assistant."
The man said: "What you say doesn't mean what you mean, it's really unpleasant." These innocent words naturally aroused laughter from the people around him.
Hou Ying said: "Brother, speak frankly, it's really refreshing. But it's not in the way of a king."
Everyone discussed the etiquette of common people and the etiquette of gentlemen for a while in the laughter, and then stopped. Hou Yingcai asked: "Mr. Che also went into the camp first to help Lord Xinling?"
Chen Si replied: "Of course."
Hou Ying said: "Who is Mr. Ruzhi?"
Chen Si replied: "Everyone knows that Mr. Che is the think tank of General Mang's mansion."
Hou Ying said: "Is Mr. Che planning for Lord Xinling?"
Chen Si replied: "Of course. Why not plan?"
Hou Ying said: "Don't be in a hurry, think carefully before speaking. Is Mr. Che planning for Lord Xinling?"
As soon as Chen Silue thought about it, he replied affirmatively: "It's a plan for him. After ordering the troops, Lord Xinling immediately visited Mr. Che in the tent of the side camp. I had to stand beside him so that he could hear clearly."
Hou Ying said: "You can tell me in detail."
Chen Sidao: "After ordering the troops, your Majesty went to the camp to visit you. Your Majesty came to greet you personally outside the tent, and I waited behind you. Your Majesty first bowed to your Majesty, and then met me again. My companions were Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhong. , Mr. Xiao, there are two leaders, and Mr. Lian enters the tent with seven people. I stand sideways at the tent to wait. Everyone gave up their seats for a while, and it was agreed to use military salutes, with the emperor in the middle, and the civil and military ranks. The civil column was headed by Mr. Che, Mr. Xiao is at the bottom of Wu Lie."
Seeing that Chen Si spoke clearly and logically, Hou Ying nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to continue. Chen Sidao: "Your Majesty said: 'Sir, if you go deep into Qifeng, you will surely be able to teach me.'"
One person suddenly asked: "Why does Qifeng Ling not dare to use the word 'assistant', but Mr. Che should use the word 'teacher'?"
Hou Ying explained: "The person who opened the order is a minister of Wei. He has lived in Wei for a long time, so he should work like a dog and horse. Mr. Che is a guest. He will teach you when he is invited. He will not speak if he is not invited. If he does not get along, he will leave. There is no king or minister. In particular, Mr. Che is a guest of Mang Mansion. It is not Wei who eats millet in Mang Mansion. Therefore, you should ask him for advice." Seeing everyone's look of surprise, Hou Ying motioned to continue.
Chen Sidao: "Mr. Che said: 'An old friend came to know that the two masters were in Huafang, and a certain one was ordered by the master to go into Qifeng and pull it out. Both the two masters were willing to share the national crisis, so they went out with a certain one. Fortunately, they met the master, so they came out." Your Majesty praised: "Sir, he went into the tiger's den alone and rescued the two princes, which has benefited the country. He has done a great job." The master said: "It is not the fault of anyone, but it really depends on the efforts of Brother Chen and Mr. Chen."
Everyone said: "Mr. Che also expressed his gratitude to Brother Chen. There is a time when Brother Chen will rise to great heights!"
Chen Si laughed it off and continued: "Mr. Xiao asked: 'How is the military situation in Qifeng?'"
Hou Ying interrupted: "When it comes to the old gentleman, Lord Xinling has never said a word to you?"
Chen Si thought for a while and said: "It seems that I would like to invite you to be promoted. The gentleman replied that the old gentleman does not want to be a scholar, so he cannot invite you."
Hou Ying thought for a moment and signaled Chen Si to continue. Chen Si was a little surprised and said: "Mr. Xiao asked about the military situation, and he gave a very detailed answer, but it was beyond my ability and I couldn't express it. Later, Mr. Xiao said that most of them were in the workshop, and foreign affairs could not be detailed, so he ordered me to tell him. Zhong Mr. Guo brought me to Mr. Guo's place. Mr. Guo prepared a pen and silk and asked me to draw it. I drew in detail the situation of unsealing and the various passes where camps were set up."
Hou Ying said in surprise: "Can you draw a map of the mountains and rivers?"
Chen Sidao: "It's a rough picture, but you can get a rough idea."
Hou Ying said: "I'll take a look at it when I have free time."
Chen Sidao: "What's the difficulty!"
Hou Ying said: "Let's talk about the unsealing! You have painted the situation of the unsealing pass elsewhere. Do you know what happened in the account?"
Chen Sidao: "The subsequent discussion is unknown."
Hou Ying said: "Why return?"
Chen Sidao: "I have finished the drawing, and Mr. Guo led me back to the tent. Mr. Xinling and others have returned, leaving Mr. Xiao Er and Mr. Jin and Mr. Cao Er at the general door. Later, Major General Mang arrived, and then Lead us to leave the camp and return to the city. We go to the Great Wall first. Mr. Jin ordered six vehicles to be prepared, and we each have one. When we get to the center of the border, we can see the guards and lieutenants of the border and Mr. Liang Wei."
Hou Ying said: "Have you seen Mr. Liang Wei? How do you know him?"
Chen Sidao: "We are facing each other at the table, so we know him. His disciples call him Mr. Wei."
Hou Ying asked: "What are we talking about during the dinner?"
Chen Sidao: "They are all major military affairs."
Hou Ying interrupted: "Who is there at the table and how is the table?"
One of the people sitting in the middle said: "If we don't talk about the important military and national affairs, what are we going to do at the table?"
Hou Ying scolded: "How could you know, little boy! Only if you know the banquet, you will know what will happen. Are you discussing matters? Are you welcoming guests? Are you planning big things?..."
