Sun Chuanting held his beard and smiled and said: "Counsellor Liao came all the way north from Taiyuan Fucheng. When he entered Daizhou City, he did not see Cai Zhizhou. It can be seen that the purpose of this trip is not Daizhou, and further north from Daizhou is Yanmen Pass. Thinking of where Senator Liao went last time, it is not difficult to guess where Senator Liao went."
"Brother Boya guessed it right. I am going to Datong Town this time." Seeing that the other party had guessed it, Liao Wenguang admitted frankly and then said, "Since Brother Boya knows the purpose of my trip, he still wants to go with me. Aren’t you afraid?”
Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Consultant Liao ignored life and death and rushed to Datong twice. What do I, an ordinary citizen, have to fear?"
"The only reason I have to go is that even if I am scared, I have to go bravely. Brother Boya is now unemployed and light-hearted, so there is no need to put himself in danger." Liao Wenguang advised.
Sun Chuanting waved his hand gently and said: "There is no need to persuade Counselor Liao. I really want to go to Datong to see what Datong is like in the hands of the rebels."
"What would it be like to fall into the hands of the rebel bandits? Brother Boya should have seen it with his own eyes when the Wenxiang Sect rebelled?" Counselor Liao looked at Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting was promoted from a local position to the capital because of his meritorious service in preventing Xu Hongru's rebellion. He then entered the capital and became a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel.
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "It's different. Thief Liu and Thief Xu in Datong are completely different. Otherwise, the various armies would not have suffered losses from Thief Liu several times. It can be seen that Thief Liu still has some real abilities."
"I think they are all the same, there is no difference." Liao Wenguang shook his head.
Sun Chuanting glanced at Liao Wenguang in front of him and said: "I still want to see the situation in Datong with my own eyes, and I also ask Councilor Liao to help."
"Brother Boya is free at home, why don't you take advantage of this time to spend time with your family. With Brother Boya's great talent, I think it won't be long before he is used by the court. Why risk going to the bandit territory." Liao Wenguang wholeheartedly persuaded Sun Chuanting to stay. , unwilling to take him to Datong with him.
At this time, Liao Wenguang's long entourage came back and whispered in Liao Wenguang's ear: "Master, the account has been settled."
"You go outside and wait for me first." Liao Wenguang ordered expressionlessly.
Chang Sui carried something in his hand and walked out of the inn door.
Liao Wenguang said to Sun Chuanting again: "Brother Boya, I have to go on my way, so I'll excuse myself now. I will definitely apologize when we meet in Taiyuan Fucheng next time."
He cupped his hands, turned around and walked out.
"Let's go together. My carriage is also parked outside, so we can all go together." Sun Chuanting said, and followed him slowly.
Liao Wenguang, who had not taken two steps, had to stop, looked at Sun Chuanting helplessly and said, "Brother Boya, why are you doing this?"
"No matter what, I must go to Datong. If Counselor Liao is not willing to take me with him, then I will let the carriage follow." Sun Chuanting looked determined to go to Datong with Liao Wenguang.
Liao Wenguang saw that Sun Chuanting was entangled with him, so he had no choice but to say: "Forget it, since Brother Boya has said so, I can't stop him anymore, let's go together!"
After saying that, he ignored Sun Chuanting and walked out of the inn on his own.
Sun Chuanting smiled while holding his beard, and followed closely behind him, leaving the inn one after another.
Arriving on the street outside the inn, Liao Wenguang found that in addition to his own carriage, there was indeed a carriage not far away. He knew in his heart that Sun Chuanting was determined to go with him.
Sure enough, Sun Chuanting, who left the inn behind him, walked towards the carriage not far away.
"Brother Boya." Liao Wenguang called Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting stopped.
Liao Wenguang continued: "Brother Boya, why don't you ride with me and ask the servant to take another car."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Sun Chuanting inquired with a smile, said a few words to the servants around him, and then got on Liao Wenguang's carriage.
Liao Wenguang's chief attendant and the servants brought by Sun Chuanting got on another carriage.
"Let's get on the road!" Liao Wenguang told the boss outside the car, then turned to look at Sun Chuanting who was riding in the same car, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Boya, why are you doing this!"
Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Senior Liao, don't complain. Now that I'm in the car, don't even try to get me out of the car."
"Okay, okay, okay, don't worry, just sit back and relax, no one will kick you out of the car." Liao Wenguang looked helpless.
The carriage started to move.
The procession moved along the street toward the city gate.
Soon, the team arrived on North Street, and there were already vendors selling their own goods on the roadside.
"Brother Boya, are you really not afraid?" Liao Wenguang asked, looking at Sun Chuanting's face.
Sun Chuanting looked serious and said solemnly: "Daizhou is adjacent to Shanyin County. Any movement in Shanyin County cannot be hidden from Daizhou, so I want to see with my own eyes what Datong is like in the hands of Liu Thief."
"After watching it, Brother Boya will probably be disappointed." Liao Wenguang said.
Sun Chuanting said: "It's not terrible to be disappointed. What I'm most afraid of is that I won't be disappointed after watching it."
The meaning of disappointment in the two people's words is different, but everyone knows what the other person's words mean.
The carriage fell silent for a moment.
Neither of the two spoke again, and neither one knew what the other was thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Sir, Cai Zhizhou is here." The general manager rode to the outside of Liao Wenguang's carriage to report.
Sun Chuanting said: "Since everyone has come here, let's meet him!"
"Brother Boya, will you come with me to meet Cai Zhizhou?" Liao Wenguang invited Sun Chuanting to come with him.
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "I'm at home, I'm just an ordinary citizen, so I won't go to see him, so as not to embarrass each other."
"Okay, let me go and see you." Liao Wenguang walked out of the carriage alone.
Cai Zhizhou, who was coming from the front, saw Liao Wenguang, ran forward quickly, raised his hands and said hello: "I'm here to see Councilor Liao."
"Okay, no need to be polite." Liao Wenguang made a gesture of support and said at the same time, "I didn't want to disturb you at first, so I arranged for the people below to go on the road after breakfast, but I didn't expect that you would catch up with me. ”
Cai Zhizhou in front of him smiled and said: "Since Senator Liao has arrived in Daizhou, I should fulfill my duty as a landlord and ask Senator Liao to move. I have already prepared a table of food and wine in the back office to see off Senator Liao."
"You can guess where I'm going. We won't be delayed on the way. When Cai Zhizhou comes to Taiyuan Fucheng, I will personally prepare a banquet for Cai Zhizhou." Liao Wenguang shook his head and rejected the other party.
Cai Zhizhou saw that the other party had no time to attend the banquet, so he did not force him.
The two people talked for a few more words beside the carriage before they separated. Cai Zhizhou stood on the roadside and watched Liao Wenguang and his party walking along North Street towards the city gate.
