Chapter 18 Hungry people, conscience, great sword intent.(1/2)
Cao Cao was a little angry and said, "Damn Lu Bu, Damn Dong Zhuo. If you can't kill Dong Zhuo, what should you do?"
Wang Xiyao said: "As long as I am not surrounded by the army, only Lu Fengxian can be afraid of me. Brother Meng De, if you have a way to get Lu Bu to leave Dong Zhuo, even if it takes half an incense stick, I can kill Dong Zhuo."
Lu Bu protected Dong Zhuo in close proximity and was inseparable. Wang Xiyao assassinated Li Ru, making Dong Zhuo a frightened bird. It would be even more impossible to let Lu Bu leave Dong Zhuo's side.
Even if you only have half a stick of incense, it is difficult to reach the sky.
Cao Cao stood up and paced back and forth in the study. No matter how smart Cao Cao was, he would never think of a good plan for a while.
"There will be a solution, there will be a solution..." Cao Cao murmured to himself.
Wang Xiyao said: "Brother Meng De, why don't you go back first? When did you think of a solution? Come and find me again."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay. Brother Xi Yao, don't worry, Brother Yu will definitely think of a way to let Lu Bu leave Dong Zhuo for half an incense stick."
...
Cai Yan was extremely frightened.
His father Cai Yong was arrested and he was executed tomorrow. When he learned the bad news, Cai Yan suddenly felt that the sky was about to collapse.
When the close maid saw that Cai Yan was in vain, she reminded him: "Miss, let's send a message to Mr. Wei. The Wei family is very powerful. As long as Mr. Wei comes forward, I believe that the master can be rescued."
The maid mentioned Mr. Wei is Wei Zhongdao.
Wei Zhongdao was not only Cai Yong's student, but also Cai Yan's fiancé.
The Wei family is a great clan in Hedong, and the ancestors are Wei Qing.
Cai Yong was very satisfied with betrothing his daughter to Wei Zhongdao.
Cai Yong felt that marrying Wei Zhongdao was considered a high-spirited person. The only drawback was that Wei Zhongdao was weak and took medicine all year round.
Cai Yan shook his head and said, "Young Master Wei is far away in Hedong. Even if the Wei family has a way to save his father, there is no time left."
The maid said, "Miss, don't you know Princess Wannian? Let's go and see Your Highness and let her save the master."
Cai Yan's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, there is also a princess. Your Highness can definitely save her father."
………
Hongying came to Jiange again and asked Wang Xiyao to enter the palace. She has now become the microphone between Princess Wannian and Wang Xiyao.
Come to Princess Wannian's yard.
Wang Xiyao saw a girl sitting next to the princess, who was about the same age as Princess Wannian. Her appearance was very delicate, and her appearance was still above Princess Wannian.
There is no beauty in thousands. She is the most beautiful girl Wang Xiyao has ever seen.
Princess Wannian introduced: "Xiyao, the one beside me is Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Jijiu. She is a famous talented woman in Luoyang City. Cai Yan's sister, this one is Wang Xiyao. You should have heard of his name. Wang Xiyao is not good at swordsmanship and is also a magistrate. "
Of course, Cai Yan has heard of Wang Xiyao's name.
When Cai Yong returned to the mansion, he often mentioned Wang Xiyao, and felt that it was a pity that Wang Xiyao defected to Dong Zhuo and was willing to be a hawk.
In fact, Cai Yong also works under Dong Zhuo.
Cai Yong's current official position is to sacrificial wine, which was arranged by Dong Zhuo. However, Cai Yong did not surrender to Dong Zhuo, he was forced to do so.
Despite this, Situ Wang Yun was also very dissatisfied with Cai Yong, and Wang Yun even held a grudge against Cai Yong.
Cai Yan stood up, saluted Wang Xiyao, and said in a sweet voice: "Little woman Cai Yan, I have met the Grand Tutor Wang."
Wang Xiyao said: "Miss Cai Yan doesn't have to be too polite."
After Wang Xiyao sat down, Hongying gave him a cup of tea.
Princess Wannian said Cai Yan’s purpose.
Only then did Wang Xiyao realize that the several ministers Dong Zhuo arrested at will today were Cai Yong.
Princess Wannian said: "The ministers who were arrested by Dong Zhe will be executed tomorrow morning. Sister Cai Yan came to ask me for help, and I have no choice. Xiyao, is there any way to rescue Cai Jijiu?"
Wang Xiyao thought for a while and said, "Your Highness Princess, I will do my best. I am not sure whether I can succeed."
Cai Yan was about to kneel on the ground and thank Wang Xiyao.
Wang Xiyao pulled her up and said, "Miss Cai Yan, you don't have to do this."
If Wang Xiyao hadn't killed Li Ru, Cai Yong would not have been imprisoned.
Strictly speaking, Cai Yong was implicated by Wang Xiyao. It was just that Cai Yong and Cai Yan didn’t know about it.
Princess Wannian said, "Xiyao, can you rescue the other ministers?"
Wang Xiyao said with a serious look: "I'm afraid it's very difficult. It can be said that there is no possibility. Even if I go to rob the prison, there is only 50% hope. What's more, none of us knows whether Cai Jijiu and the others are bait. Maybe Dong Zhuo arrests them just to lure me out. If Dong Zhuo sets up heavy troops around the dungeon, once I get in, I will fall into the trap and will definitely die."
Princess Wannian sighed and said, "Then do your best to save Cai Jijiu. If you can save one, you will be the other."
Wang Xiyao said: "I will say goodbye first. Time is tight, so I will go to see Dong Zhuo now."
Wang Xiyao left. Princess Wannian said to Cai Yan: "Sister Cai Yan, don't worry, your father will come back. Xiyao is steady in doing things, and he can definitely save your father."
………
Wang Xiyao came to see Dong Zhuo empty-handedly, but in order not to cause psychological threats to Dong Zhuo, he didn't even bring a wooden sword.
Dong Zhuo asked Wang Xiyao: "Xiyao, come to see our house, have you found that damn assassin?"
Wang Xiyao said: "It's not that fast. I have always kept it in my mind about finding the assassin and dare not neglect it at all. Prime Minister, I see you for the sake of a person."
Dong Zhuo said: "Who?"
Wang Xiyao said: "Cai Yong, Cai Shengjiu."
Dong Zhuo's eyes became sharp: "Xiyao, what is your relationship with Cai Yong?"
Wang Xiyao said embarrassedly: "Prime Minister, I have a crush on Cai Yong's daughter... A beautiful lady, a gentleman. Look, can you release Cai Yong?"
Dong Zhuo was stunned and burst into laughter. Wang Xiyao also likes women and is a fellow member of our family.
...
Wang Xiyao, led by two prisoners, came to the dungeon.
The dungeon is really not a place for people to stay. There is a stench everywhere, which makes people do evil.
The more you go inside, the stronger the stench becomes.
Wang Xiyao frowned and said, "Is Lord Cai Yong imprisoned here?"
A jailer glanced at Wang Xiyao, who was wearing a white snow, and said, "As death row prisoner, where else can he be locked up? It must be here. This lord, you are a noble man, it must be the first time you are here. Those who are sent here will be executed. We did not regard them as human beings."
Wang Xiyao said: "Speak less nonsense and lead the way quickly."
In a dark and damp dungeon, Wang Xiyao met Cai Yong.
Cai Yong originally thought he was dead.
Cai Yong was not very afraid of death. Since ancient times, everyone would die. But he was afraid that after his death, his daughter Cai Yan would have no support. Cai Yan and Wei Zhongdao were not married yet. If he died, it was different whether Wei Zhongdao could marry his daughter.
The Wei family was able to agree to the marriage between Wei Zhongdao and his daughter, and Cai Yong knew that it was because he was a great scholar who was famous all over the world. Cai Yong fell in love with the Wei family's family background, while the Wei family fell in love with Cai Yong's reputation.
The prison guard opened the door of the prison and laughed at Cai Yong and said, "Mr. Cai, there is a noble man here to pick you up."
Cai Yong looked up at Wang Xiyao and said in surprise: "Young Master Xiyao!"
Wang Xiyao said calmly with fear, "Cai Jijiu, please come with me."
Get out of the dungeon.
The sun shines on Cai Yong.
Breathing fresh air, Cai Yong was finally sure that he was not dreaming that he really came out and didn't have to be executed.
Cai Yong said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Xiyao for saving his life. Cai is engraved in his heart and will never forget it."
Wang Xiyao said: "Cai Jijiu, in order to save you, I told the Prime Minister that I fell in love with Miss Cai Yan. I have nothing to do with Cai Jijiu. To save you, I must find a reasonable excuse. Although it was a helpless act, it still ruined Miss Cai Yan's reputation. I hope Cai Jijiu will not be surprised."
Cai Yong was stunned.
Wang Xiyao fell in love with his daughter, is it true? But his daughter has an engagement with Wei Zhongdao. But what should I do?
Wang Xiyao said: "Cai Jijiu, you can go home now. Wang will send you here and say goodbye."
...
Outside Luoyang City, many refugees and hungry people rushed over.
Wang Xiyao, Princess Wannian, and Ji Yun, stood on the city wall, looking at the refugees outside the city.
These refugees were all the people of the Han Dynasty and the emperor, but they were froze and hungry.
This is the first time that Wang Xiyao has seen so many refugees, and he is deeply touched in his heart.
In theory, people have conscience.
However, when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government, he turned a blind eye to tens of thousands of hungry people outside.
Wang Xiyao's determination to kill Dong Zhuo was even stronger. The power of the world should not be controlled by a cruel person like Dong Zhuo.
Wang Xiyao said: "Princess, let's take out the food from Jiange to help the people."
Princess Wannian's eyes flashed, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
