I already hate that the green mountains are blocking each other, and the green mountains are still covered by dusk clouds. -------"Homesickness" by Li Gou of the Song Dynasty
It is said that Chen Long and Zhang Ning were strolling around the Xishi Horse Market and took a look at Lianna. Unexpectedly, Lahan's asking price was too high, so the two had to explore outside Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum first. After some exploration, I discovered a unique treasure - the Tuanxi Gong Silk Book - in the upper arm of the broken pottery figurine of the guard.
Chen Longru encountered a long period of drought. Although he had memorized the first level of Tuanxi Kung Fu before traveling through time and felt the tremendous changes it had on his body, there was no progress after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now that my long-cherished wish has come true, my physical fitness will continue to improve significantly in the foreseeable future.
Back in Chang'an City, Chen Long saw Zhang Ning reluctantly looking in the direction of the West Market. He knew that Zhang Ning liked Lian Na, but he was too embarrassed to spend a lot of money on it. Chen Long knew that it was rare to get a bloody horse. Although Lian Na was not as good as Lu Bu's Red Rabbit, it was still one of a thousand, and it would be a pity to miss it. So they persuaded Zhang Ning. They didn't find Lian Na in Xicheng and searched all the way to the village outside Xicheng.
Searching all the way, there was no clue. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning yelled, and Lina seemed to hear Zhang Ning's call. She rushed out of the fork in the road and followed Zhang Ning. Lahan was left with a black line on his head. Chase behind.
Chen Long talked with Lahan, trying to persuade Lahan to sell his horses directly to Lingling, but Lahan seemed not interested and was noncommittal. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Zhong Yu's inn, La Jian saw Zhang Ning's peerless appearance and actually offered to follow Chen Long to Lingling to collect silver and inspect the horse trading route. That night, Chen Long hosted a banquet for everyone, and they all left happily. Only Zhong Yao cried and said goodbye to his wife, children, and children. Chen Long encouraged him and Zhong Yao was at peace.
Early the next morning, according to the plan scheduled by Chen Long and Guo Jia, the five accompanying carriages and horses drove out from the east, west, north and south gates, one every hour, and then converged in Shangluo County outside the south gate to avoid attracting attention. . Zhang Ning rode Lian Na, and Chen Long rode a horse. The carriage protecting the south gate was the last to leave the city. In the carriage was Zhong Yao's family.
Chen Long thought that this operation was carried out unnoticed, but unexpectedly, not far from Tongwen Inn, in the dark living room of a mansion, there was a person standing with his hands behind his back, listening to a report from a person who looked like a domestic servant. This man is about forty years old, with a thin body, as long as a bamboo pole, his eyebrows are very close together, and his eyes are triangular, but he is full of energy. He has a long beard and three locks of beard, covering the corners of his thin mouth. He is wearing a bureaucratic robe that is slightly loose, with a flowing gray silk ribbon tied around his waist, and a turban on his head that rises high, making his figure even more slender.
After the servant finished reporting, he took out a portrait from his arms and said, "Jia Zhizhi, this is the portrait made by Master Zuo based on this person." The man named Jia Zhizhi took the portrait and squinted to take a closer look. , seems to have been seen before somewhere, but is indeed a stranger.
This person is none other than Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, one of the famous super think tanks of the Three Kingdoms. Jia Xu is not a fool like Li Jue, especially after Li Jue suddenly ordered Zhong Yao to be released. Jia Xu had secretly set up a surveillance post on Zhong Yao and discovered several carriages loaded with people and property starting from Tongwen Inn this morning. , the fact that they dispersed.
Jia Xu hesitated, wondering why Zhong Yao didn't leave and just asked his family to evacuate. This means that Zhong Yao may be loyal to a certain force, and that force promised to protect Zhong Yao's family on the condition that Zhong Yao continues to serve as an official in Chang'an to facilitate the provision of internal intelligence.
I have to say that Jia Xu's IQ is indeed too high, and this guess is almost accurate. It's just that Jia Xu didn't recognize Chen Long's appearance, so he couldn't guess where the carriages were going.
Jia Xu ordered the servants beside him: "Get ready immediately, follow a carriage, find out their destination and come to see me. Don't show your body. If you are exposed, you know what to do." A ray of light was released from the corner of his eye. Cold light.
The servant trembled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I understand," and then turned away.
Jia Xu opened Chen Long's portrait again, stared at Chen Long's face, and murmured: "This person can actually make Zhong Yao serve. I'm afraid there is something fishy about Zhong Yao's sudden release from prison. But I don't know who this person is?" To have such energy.”
Jia Xu was extremely curious about the people in the portrait. He is a resourceful man, and like Hebei Jushou, he is looking for his own position so that he can raise his worth and wait for the price to be sold. Just because he has chosen Dong Zhuo now does not mean that he will be loyal to Dong Zhuo for the rest of his life. What will be the background of the person in the portrait in front of him?
Zhang Ning rode Lina, galloping across the endless wilderness. Dressed in yellow and a maroon horse, it became the most beautiful scenery on the horizon. Chen Long smiled and looked at his beloved wife running back and forth. While happy, he wondered if this was consumption of public funds and lining his own pockets? Fortunately, there were no audits at that time. Lingling's finances are not well-off, so it would be better to save money in the future.
The second level of Tuanxi Gong, which I started to practice last night, is already running in different meridians from the first level, but the feeling is still extremely subtle. It seems to complement the operation route of the first level of Tuanxiong, and the direction of the breath seems to be very mysterious. , gradually the body enters a wonderful state of harmony.
Everything in the world seems to be mysterious and clear before our eyes; the sun, moon and stars seem to be orbiting the unknown territory at the same time. Chen Long's senses were infinitely enhanced, and he suddenly felt something. In his spiritual sense, he seemed to feel that someone was following him far behind.
Chen Long was shocked, his senses fell out of the extremely mysterious state, and he could no longer feel anyone following him. Chen Long looked back strangely. The official road was curved, and there was no figure behind him.
The carriages and horses continued to move forward, Shangluo County was not far away, and vast mountains appeared on the right, which were Shangluo Mountains where Li Zicheng, the later king of Chuang, hid. The official road followed the mountain and made a sharp bend to the left. After Chen Long rode his horse through the bend, he lightly jumped off the horse and gave the horse a slap on the buttocks. The horse continued to chase the carriage and horses.
Chen Long quickly concealed himself in a big tree by the roadside and began to wait and see if there was anyone following him behind him. If there is really a pursuer, then Zhong Yao will be in danger.
After a long time, no one was seen behind him. Chen Long thought he was delusional and was about to jump down from the tree when he suddenly caught the sound of thin hoofbeats. In a moment, a man in gray clothes rode a bad horse and walked slowly along the official road. . The man in gray clothes was alone and had no luggage. He looked back and forth from time to time and seemed to be very alert.
Chen Long waited for him to pass by, and silently chased the horse from behind. Just when the man turned around, Chen Long jumped up and pulled him off the horse, and clamped his left hand on his throat like a vise. Asked: "Who are you? Who sent you?"
The man was about to struggle, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat, and immediately stopped moving. He immediately recognized that the person who attacked him was the person in the portrait. Chen Long tightened his left hand. The man felt that his throat was about to break. He was speechless and made a surrender gesture.
Chen Long loosened his left hand slightly, and the man took a deep breath and said, "Hero, spare your life! I'm just a passerby, and I'll give you all the money I have." Chen Long sneered and said, "Don't you think you can die quickly enough?" He curled his fingers and tapped his brow bone lightly.
The brow bone burst open instantly, and blood slid down the face like a waterfall, with the broken brow bone in the blood. Chen Longyun said calmly: "Every time you tell a lie, I will break one of your bones. Do you know how many bones there are in the human body?" It was like a biology teacher asking students about human body science.
The man knew that if he didn't speak today, he would be doomed, so he quickly said: "I said it, I said it! I mean no harm. I am Mr. Jia Xu's attendant. Mr. Jia Xu accidentally saw you outside the Tongwen Inn and said that you look extraordinary. , I am very curious about you and asked me to follow you to see where the strong man is from."
A huge wave surged in Chen Long's heart. The person following him turned out to be Jia Xu's entourage. Jia Xu must have been eyeing the release of Zhong Yao and discovered his traces. He was indeed a world-famous poisoner. Chen Long asked again: "Mr. Jia, can you report this matter to Li Jue?" The man shook his head and said: "Mr. Jia is really just curious. I think he wants to make friends with you. General Li doesn't know about it. "
Chen Long loosened his left hand, took out the medicine from his arms, applied pressure to stop the bleeding, and said with a straight face: "If you want to survive, you can calculate the time and report back. I only said that I traced it to the Han River and lost it. I think there is The receiving vessel. Let’s go.”
Seeing that he was let go so easily, the man wanted to turn around, but after thinking about it, he knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you so much for not killing me, the righteous man. I owe you my life, Wang Fang." After saying that, he stood up and hurriedly went to find him. A bad horse that runs far away.
Chen Long spread out his body and caught up with the chariot and horse. He remembered that Jia Xu was the best strategist in the world. If he were an enemy, he would be a big worry; but if he became his helper, he would be a great strategist. Now it is not clear whether Jia Xu is an enemy or a friend, and he cannot kill his people at will. As for Zhong Yao, Chen Long believes that since Jia Xu has not yet figured out his background and has not notified Li Jue of his discovery, he may have deep intentions behind it and will not easily offend Zhong Yao.
To put it bluntly, a resourceful man like Jia Xu would never kill a buckle so that he could survive when times were unfavorable or sell it to the future overlord for a price. In fact, Ju Shou, Chen Shi and others followed them because they thought highly of themselves. After figuring this out, Chen Long felt a little at ease.
The carriages and horses arrived in Shangluo County. Several carriages and horses arrived one after another. They were all safe and enjoyed each other. Everyone spent the night at dawn, passed through the canyon passage between Shangluo Mountain and Funiu Mountain, passed Wuguan, and headed straight for Yunyang, a large town on the Han River.
Chen Long ordered Zhou Buyi and Lu Chang to bring more silver, and first went to Yunyang Ferry to hire a large ship that could carry all the carriages, so that the trip could be seamless. After the two left, the carriage and horses slowly entered the boundary of Nanyang County and drove all the way south. The scenery along the road was endless, with green mountains and green waters, but the population was not dense. Everyone was homesick and didn't even bother to stay overnight.
As for Jia Xu, after he followed Wang Fang to track the person in the portrait, he sat on the master's chair in the study, closed his eyes and rested, and was undecided about his plans. Suddenly his two triangular eyes opened, and he stood up from his seat and ordered the men at the door: "Prepare the carriage! Go to General Li Jue's Mansion!"
