Probably because they have been fighting recently, Zhang Heng was suddenly attracted by the youthful atmosphere of the two girls and couldn't help but take a second look.
Unexpectedly, his gaze was quickly noticed by the two girls. The girl in the green dress was fine, but the girl in red frowned slightly, as if she had gouged out Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng saw the girl in red glaring at him and smiled back habitually.
He thought this was an expression of goodwill, but unexpectedly, the girl in red became angry and said fiercely to Zhang Heng: "Young disciple, what are you looking at!"
Zhang Heng couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Why, is it illegal to look at people?
But when he turned around, Zhang Heng found that all the people around him had their heads lowered.
Facing the heavily armed guards, even after looking at them, he didn't have the courage to raise his head.
Only then did Zhang Heng understand the problem.
The common people are all miserable people who have been humbled to the dust. Naturally, they do not have the courage to look at the girl, a so-called noble person. Zhang Heng, the only one who dared to look at her, was naturally regarded as having evil intentions.
The world is like this. What everyone does may not be right, but if you dare to be different from everyone else, then you should die.
In desperation, Zhang Heng had no choice but to bow his hands to the girl in red, expressing his apology for the abruptness just now.
But the girl in red had a tendency to be reluctant. She pointed at Zhang Heng, as if she wanted the guards to take Zhang Heng down.
At this time, Zhang Heng couldn't help but frown, and he was really angry.
I just glanced at you, why make such a fuss?
If these guards really rush forward, he will inevitably be in some trouble.
What makes Zhang Heng most angry is that if ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, they will lose at least a layer of skin, or even die.
Just because I looked at you, others have to pay such a big price?
You are too arrogant!
Taishi Ci, who was on the side, saw that the situation was not right, so he put the baggage on the ground and was ready to fight.
But at this moment, the girl in the green dress who had been silent spoke up and said: "Miss, why do you have to be so familiar with this degenerate and lose your identity for nothing?"
Hearing this, the girl in red showed a smile again on her face, waved her hand and said: "Sister Cai's sister said, if that's the case, let him be spared this time."
The guards who were about to rush forward also retreated.
The two girls continued to lead the team through the busy city, but when they passed by Zhang Heng, the girl in the green skirt shook her head slightly at Zhang Heng, with a hint of warning in her eyes, as if she was blaming Zhang Heng for not being so rash just now. .
After a while, the two girls' team disappeared at the end of the street, and the people around them dared to resume their activities.
But Zhang Heng still stared at the direction where the team disappeared, his eyes solemn.
"Master's book..."
Taishi Ci called softly.
Only then did Zhang Heng come to his senses, waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go back."
What the girl in red did just now completely ruined Zhang Heng's good mood for the day.
Those guards really rushed up just now. Did you resist or not?
If you resist, things will get bigger and your identity will inevitably be exposed.
If you don't resist, you won't be able to escape from a severe beating. Maybe your uncle Zhang Wen will have to fish for you in the end. It will only be embarrassing, but your identity will also be exposed.
Who would have thought that a arrogant little girl would almost put herself in a dilemma!
It seems that we need to speed up the progress. There are too many uncontrollable risks in Luoyang City.
Taishi Ci probably also noticed that Zhang Heng was in a bad mood, so he didn't speak during the whole journey.
After returning home, the two happened to bump into Zhang Wen who had returned from a banquet.
"Ziyi, where did you go this morning? I wanted to take you to a banquet at Cai Shizhong's house."
Zhang Heng held his hand to Zhang Wen and said with a faint smile: "My nephew doesn't like these social events, but he has let down his uncle's kindness."
"Nothing, nothing, let's go and talk about it after we go in!" Zhang Wen waved his hand and said.
When they entered the courtyard, Zhang Wen pulled Zhang Heng into the study.
"Ziyi, I don't care what your plans are, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid I can't stay in Luoyang City any longer." Zhang Wen said with a serious face.
"Oh, why did uncle say this?"
Seeing Zhang Wen's cautious face, Zhang Heng understood what news he had learned at Cai Yong's house, and immediately asked.
"Dong Min also went to Cai Mansion's banquet today, but his face was not good-looking. After getting drunk, I heard that his conversation with the generals of the Xiliang Army were full of talk about raising troops to attack Xingyang.
I guessed from this that the battle on the front line must be unfavorable. Thief Dong may have to return to the court soon. Ziyi, if you have any plans, you'd better act quickly. "
Zhang Wen is worthy of being a veteran who has commanded troops for more than ten years. From just a few words from Dong Min, he guessed the news that Dong Zhuo was about to leave the army, which greatly impressed Zhang Heng.
"It is inevitable that the Dong thief will be the master, uncle, don't worry." Zhang Heng shook his head and said with a smile, "As for my nephew's plan, we will see the results soon."
Seeing that Zhang Heng refused to say anything, Zhang Wen did not go into details, but continued to tell Zhang Heng to act carefully and put his own safety first in everything.
After the uncle and nephew chatted for a while, Zhang Wen, who was drunk, felt a little sleepy. Upon seeing this, Zhang Heng quickly left.
In fact, Zhang Heng didn't have a sense of urgency in his heart, but Xu Rong couldn't push too hard.
Forget it, just wait for two more days. After two days, Xu Rongruo still didn't reply, so he stopped thinking about making trouble and took his uncle away from the place of right and wrong first.
Even though I'm a little reluctant, that's all I can do.
…
Cai Mansion.
In the evening, Cai Yan returned home accompanied by Dong Bai.
If Zhang Heng were here, he would find that these two people are the two girls he met on the street today.
In front of the door, Cai Yan said to Dong Bai, "Thank you very much, Miss, for accompanying me. Please tell me at home."
Dong Bai waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, it's getting late, I should go back. My sister has been swimming with me for a day, and she should be tired. It's better to rest early."
"In that case, Yan respectfully sends you off." Cai Yan bowed to Dong Bai again.
"Farewell."
Dong Bai also blessed Cai Yan, then turned and left.
It wasn't until Dong Bai was gone that Cai Yan stood up, with a hint of complexity in his beautiful eyes, and turned back home.
Cai Yong was just waking up from his hangover and was drinking tea in the house. When he saw his daughter coming back, he smiled and said, "Zhao Ji is back!"
Cai Yan nodded calmly, walked to his father and sat down.
"Why, didn't you have fun with that Miss Dong family?" Cai Yong said with a smile.
"No." Cai Yan shook her head and said, "Miss Dong is innocent and straightforward. Although she doesn't know any etiquette, she treats her daughter very well."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing Cai Yan's words, Cai Yong couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing.
Being able to describe being unruly and rude so nicely shows that Cai Yan is also a person with high emotional intelligence.
"Zhaoji, you are good at talking. It's no wonder that Miss Dong likes to be your friend. If that's the case, why are you still looking so sad?"
In this era, young lady was the same as young master. It was still a very noble title that could not be accepted by the children of princes and princes. It was not the lousy title of later generations.
"My daughter is just worried..." Cai Yan hesitated before speaking.
"worry about what?"
Cai Yan told her about her encounter with Zhang Heng in the afternoon, and finally a wry smile appeared on her pretty face.
"If my daughter hadn't advised her, I'm afraid that person would have died unexpectedly. Miss Dong is so domineering and unstable, and it's really difficult to get along with her... Moreover, the world is in chaos, and Prime Minister Dong is still fighting with the princes of Guandong. Once Prime Minister Dong is defeated, my daughter will Worry……"
"What are you worried about?" Cai Yong asked with a smile, "Are you worried that your father will be liquidated by the princes if he relies on the Dong thief?"
Cai Yan did not answer, but said in a sad tone: "My daughter suddenly missed the days when she left Wuhui with her father. Although she was a little poorer, she lived a peaceful life."
Hearing this, the smile on Cai Yong's face disappeared and he let out a helpless sigh.
Since entering Luo and being trusted by Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong's reputation has plummeted. In the hearts of many loyal officials of the Han Dynasty, he had become a thorn in their flesh and they wanted to get rid of him quickly.
It can be said that once Dong Zhuo falls, Cai Yong will inevitably be liquidated, and Cai Yan is worried about this.
After a long time, Cai Yong continued to speak: "Zhaoji, it's not because my father is willing to be used by Prime Minister Dong, but the world is fickle, and a father can't help himself. But don't worry, you will get married soon, and your father will be married soon." All the grudges I have have have nothing to do with you."
"Why did my father say this? Do you think that my daughter is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Cai Yan said anxiously and indignantly.
"No, this has nothing to do with greed for life and fear of death. It's always good to live in peace and stability." Cai Yong shook his head and sighed, "otherwise, why do you think my father wants to help you arrange a marriage now? He just doesn't want to implicate you."
"Father……"
"The wedding date has been set, it will be in half a month. When you get married, take Zhenji with you. Leave Luoyang, a place of right and wrong, and go as far away as possible."
"What should you do, father?"
"As a father..." Cai Yong said with a bitter smile, "As a father, if you can't leave, it's useless even if you leave. In this world, grudges always go with you. Apart from death, what's the way to end it?"
Cai Yong's voice was full of desolation, as if he had foreseen his own fate.
