Chapter 143: One hundred secrets and one sparse (thanks to [Desolate Wind])
"Come here! Capture these two spies for me!"
As the soldier who stopped Fazheng Mengda shouted, a group of soldiers rushed from behind the city gate and surrounded the two of them.
Facing the bright swords and guns, Fazheng and Meng Da were immediately stunned.
Meng Da held his head in his hands and faced the wall. While being searched by Sergeant Cao's soldiers, Meng Da asked the soldier who searched him, "We came all the way from Guanzhong, how did we become spies?"
The soldier replied: "If it weren't for spies, you two would have been stopped when you first entered the rule of Prime Minister Cao. How could you have reached Chenliu?"
At this time, Fazheng also said with an incomprehensible tone: "But we just walked all the way! No one came to stop or question us at all."
"Impossible!" the soldier denied in a very firm tone, "Although Yingchuan is not as strict as Chen Liu's interrogation, there will definitely be someone interrogating every checkpoint and important stronghold."
Fazheng wanted to defend himself, but unexpectedly, the guards gave them no chance to speak.
The captain of the city gate guard said: "No suspicious items were found. Let's take them to the Yamen for background checks first."
"Here!"
"Eh? Wait..."
"Don't push me, I will leave on my own..."
...
Ask, answer, record...
Ask again, answer again, record again...
This process was carried out three times, and they were all questioned separately.
Fortunately, Fazheng and Mengda were not spies, but this series took a long time to complete.
Fazheng and Mengda had not eaten anything since they were arrested. Now after the interrogation, they were exhausted from hunger, with cracked lips and dizziness.
Just when they were about to ask someone from the county government to ask what was going on, a man wearing a blue scribe's gown, Shi Shiran, walked in.
Fazheng and Meng Da looked intently, and saw that the man had a handsome face, a complexion as gentle as jade, and a head of thick black hair tied casually behind his back. His aura was so pure that it made people feel a sense of closeness coming from deep within their hearts.
The man came to them, his eyes flashed with curiosity and exploration, and he asked: "Fa Zheng? Meng Da?"
Fazheng and Meng Da judged from Lu Yan's faint aura and temperament that was completely different from ordinary people that the identity of the person in front of them must be extraordinary.
So they stood up respectfully, raised their hands and replied, "It is Fa Zheng (Meng Da). May I ask what Shangguan's name is?"
"My name is Lu Yan."
"It turns out it's Lu..." Fazheng was halfway through his words when he suddenly raised his head and his eyes widened!
Before Meng Da could react, he saw Fazheng suddenly raised his head and asked in a surprised and incomprehensible tone: "General Hussars, Lu Yan and Lu Changsheng?!"
There was no one under Cao Cao named Lu Yan, and the man in front of him was about the same age as the rumors, so Fazheng immediately thought of that strange man whose reputation had spread all over the world, Lu Yan.
The man nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, it is Mr. Lu."
Meng Da finally came to his senses. And the first thing he said after he came to his senses was: "Mother! Are you going to have to go out in person to check your identity?"
"This is too much emphasis!!!" Even Fazheng felt a little cracked, and thought to himself: "Is it possible that they really regard us as spies?!"
Thinking of this, Fazheng could no longer sit still, "Lu Qiaoqi, wait a minute, let the student explain..."
But just when Fazheng was about to defend himself, Lu Yan said abruptly: "Don't worry, I have already prepared some food. Let's talk while we eat."
Fazheng: "?"
Meng Da: "—.—?"
Judging from Lu Yan's attitude and the meaning of his words, "He doesn't seem to regard us as spies?"
So what is going on? Fazheng and Mengda were confused again.
"Did the turn of events in life come too fast? It's so fast that people are not used to it!" When Fazheng and Meng Da were sitting behind the desk in the spacious hall, they felt that the scene in front of them seemed a little strange.
reality.
As the clerks served plates of delicious food with a tangy aroma, Fazheng and Mengda were finally brought back to the present world. At this moment, their five internal organs temples were seduced by the rich aroma of the food, and began to move crazily in their bodies.
Rebelled.
Listening to the abdominal rumblings of the two people in the hall, Lu Yan suppressed his laughter and said warmly: "Hurry up and eat something first, and we will talk after eating."
Lu Yan's appearance and voice were just like the spring breeze blowing against the willows in March, making people feel extremely comfortable and comfortable. No matter what, they couldn't make it out of the rumors that a single person could defeat thousands of cavalry, and that force could withstand
Lu Bu and Lu Yan were linked together.
After Fazheng and Mengda shook their hands, they finally immersed themselves in dealing with these bastards who seduced their younger brothers into rebellion.
Meng Da stuffed half of the roast chicken into his mouth, glanced at Lu Yan, and muttered in his heart: "No matter how you look at it, he is just a scribe who has no power to restrain a chicken... It seems that the rumors are just
Rumors must be seen to be believed..."
Fazheng's eating phase seems to be more gentle, but his speed of attack is just as fast as Mengda's.
When the two of them were full of wine and food, patting their bellies until they were groaning, Lu Yan finally asked: "Aren't you and your family in Fufeng? Why did you end up here in Chenliu?"
After hearing this, Fazheng reluctantly raised his upper body, with a wry smile on his face and said with his hands, "We, the people like us, are really miserable due to natural and man-made disasters in Guanzhong... In order to find a way to survive and a future, I discussed it with Meng Da.
, and finally decided to come to Xudu to seek refuge with Prime Minister Cao."
Although Fa Zheng is quite polite now, he is actually a proud and arrogant guy at heart.
Just listen to him continue to say: "Earlier, I heard that Prime Minister Cao issued an order to recruit talents based on talents. We felt that we had some talents and wanted to apply for the recruitment. However, after we came to Yingchuan, we heard that the Imperial Academy was reopened, and as long as we passed the exam, we would be eligible.
You can enter Taiyuan University.
Therefore, we finally decided not to go to the Qiuxian Hall, but to take the examination at Taiyuan University. We will use our true talents and practical knowledge to enter Taiyuan University."
At this point, Fazheng changed the subject and said: "But as soon as we reached Chenliucheng, we were caught by the soldiers guarding the city. He said that he had to show him some identity card, and also said that we were spies... No
Do you know whether what he said is true or false, or is he just trying to make things difficult for us?"
Fa Zheng then began to act strangely on the defenders. It seemed that he was indeed not very minded.
Lu Yan was also a little curious as to how they arrived in Xuchang. Could it be that the execution ability at the grassroots level has dropped to such an extent?
"I have already understood that what the guard said is the truth and not exaggerated in the slightest. Therefore, I am also very curious about how you got to Chenliu City..."
Lu Yan's words made Fa Zheng feel shocked, "Is there really such a strict identity check?"
