Chapter 23, Night Talk
"Don't you still understand what kind of person Yuan Benzhu is?"
"Zhicai, I..."
Under the dim moonlight, in a courtyard built with stones in Dongcheng District, Luoyang, the shadows of three people were stretched by the moonlight in the middle of the night. The positions of the three people are also quite interesting. Two of them are slightly thin.
Scholar-like young people sat across from each other on the floor, with only a table in between, with wine glasses and dishes placed on them.
, the two people were drinking and having fun; while the other was a big man more than eight feet long. He straightened up and his body looked even more powerful. When the moonlight reflected the shadow on the ground, it looked like a dormant giant bear.
, but this giant bear was willing to stay behind one of the young scribes...
This big man is naturally Xu Chu, and the scribe sitting in front of him is Xi Lue. Xu Chu has been silent next to him. Only Xi Lue and the young scribe opposite are communicating and chatting. Both of them look thin, Xi Lue
Not bad
, but the face of the person opposite was slightly haggard, and from time to time there was a flush that seemed to be sick. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but advise: "Since you are physically weak, you should rest and cultivate your mind. You spend all day drinking, drinking and seducing women.
It may become a serious problem..."
Although the play's words were not pleasant to the ears, the scribes did not mind. It was a close friend who spoke about himself. This was for his own good and for his consideration. Wouldn't it be a good intention if he was still annoyed?
Xi Lue himself also knew that he could not persuade the other party. In fact, he was not the first person to say such things to this person, and he would not be the last one, so he immediately changed the topic and continued what he said before: "Now Meng Degong wants to recover."
We are in need of talented people to help us. Meng Degong’s reputation certainly doesn’t need me to say anything. If you haven’t always said that you want to find a master, then Yuan Benchu is definitely not worthy..."
"Then Cao Mengde is worthy of it?" the other party's rhetorical question suddenly stopped all Xiluo's words. However, he was also very human and smiled without even the slightest embarrassment. Anyway, if he talked for a long time, the other party would not be at all embarrassed.
The worst thing is if there is no response. As long as there is a response, there is a chance.
He straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "You should also know that you and I were born in a poor family, and we are not the same as those of the fourth generation and the third generation. However, Meng Degong has been admiring you for a long time, and he doesn't care about the difference in family background. Now it is even more straightforward."
I was ordered to come to find you, if not after the battle in Hulao
The loss is too heavy. In order to recuperate and recuperate, he must stay in Chenliu. I am afraid that the person who appears in front of you today is not me but him. In this case, can't you still see the good and bad of each other's hearts? What choice should I make? I miss you.
I can even think of it in my own mind..."
The man cried and laughed and said: "I'm not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. Naturally, I also know that Yuan Benchu is not a wise master. I just think that it was just a delusion before. But how can Cao Mengde know what he will do in the future? If he just follows his will,
I went there without paying attention, how could I escape? What’s more, the matter is not over yet, how can I escape with peace of mind..."
Xi Lue knew his good friend's temperament well, and knew that he could not be restrained but was very affectionate. It was not unreasonable to consider that it was good for both of them at this time. As for what he said, through understanding and some speculation, he could also understand it.
Second, if it were him, there would be no reason to suddenly give up and leave at this point. It's just that the authorities are confused. He can
He could see some things clearly, but the other party might not be able to see them clearly, so he had to persuade him and said with a smile: "Then you should also know that the national thieves may have noticed you, and Li Ru will not let it go easily. Although you and Wang
Situ and the others are only in secret contact, do you think that Wang Zishi is really a loyal minister for the country and the people like those outside?"
Xi Lue's words revealed his disdain for the current Situ, and he didn't know where his confidence came from. However, the man opposite him didn't think it strange at all, and even nodded and said with a smile: "Zhi Cai and I have the same view.
I just don’t want to just be wise and protect myself. What I am doing now is no longer that of Yuan Benzhu and his ilk..."
Xiluo sighed and laughed at himself: "It sounds a little tacky, but I'm here to help you." After saying that, he faced the other person directly and said in a deep voice: "You don't know, I went there a few days ago.
Where is it?"
"Besides Luoyang City, where else can I go?"
"Then do you know what I'm going to do?"
"I'm not a god who can figure things out..."
"There is an undercurrent surging in Luoyang City. Those people in the Prince's Division are all old foxes. They hide deep and hold high positions. They have extraordinary prestige and should not be touched lightly. You are the only one who wants to stir up the situation in Yuzhou with your own power. I predict
they must
Let me do the surgery on you first. You are hiding in the wild. You seem to be safe here, but I am afraid that you have been noticed by others. Before I came to see you today, I was still in the city and saw that the city gates were frequently deployed, which may not be good for you. The plan now is,
You have to go first, no need to say more!"
Xi Luo spoke quickly and urgently, but the other party completely understood what he was thinking. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I see, I wonder why you were nowhere to be seen except for the first day..." As he said this, he suddenly grew taller.
He stood up, pointed at the three horses tied to a short tree outside the courtyard, and said, "No wonder you brought an extra horse today. Which one is mine?"
Xi Lue, a person who knows him well, can't bear this sudden change to this guy, let alone Xu Chu. He just said so righteously that he wants to stay for whatever reason. Is it all fake?
Well, I can't care about that much now. Xi Lue also stood up and said to him: "You follow Zhong Kang first, let's run separately..."
The scribe was originally very calm, but when he heard this, he couldn't help being surprised. He looked at the play and said calmly: "How can this happen? If so, what will you do, Zhicai?"
Although Xu Chu didn't speak, he looked at Xi Lue with clear eyes and didn't want to walk away casually. Although he had known Xi Lue's plan for a long time, it wasn't that he didn't want to protect that person, but the safety of Xi Lue in his heart was undoubtedly higher than the one in front of him.
Youth is much more important.
Xi Lue flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "You and I have known each other for more than a day, and you still don't know my methods? If they can catch me casually, then my life as Xi Zhicai will really be in vain.
It happened once."
Xu Chu seemed to be a little reluctant, but the scribe smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I believe you on this; although your academic performance has never been better than mine..."
Xi Lue was a bit dumbfounded: "When did this happen..."
After all, it was not the time to relax. The three of them all came outside the courtyard, and then the scribe and Xu Chu walked to the horse beside the tree one after another. Xu Chu also pointed out the horse given to the scribe in particular. Although it was not good at horse racing, he
But also
It can be seen that this horse is extraordinary, at least it is the most outstanding among these three horses. Then they only said hello, and both of them got on the horse. With two "drive", they started galloping, and their figures were further away in a short time.
The farther away you go, the smaller it becomes.
Watching them go away, Xi Luo untied the reins of the other horse from the tree, and then slapped the horse's butt. The horse almost kicked him in pain, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have actually kicked him.
It's hard to say, but then the horse galloped away in the other direction just as he wanted. Xiluo smiled slightly when he saw this, suddenly lowered his head and looked at himself, then looked around, grinned, and suddenly squatted down
, right hand on the ground
He casually grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it on his face. The clothes on his body were also stained. In the end, he simply tore off a few strips. Then he stood up and looked at the people walking around, most of whom were with him.
His appearance seemed to be that he started walking. Not long after walking, his footsteps became brisk. In this way, Xilue changed from being incompatible with the surroundings to becoming an inconspicuous member who completely integrated into them...
