After Liu Cong withdrew, Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Biao's voice worriedly: "Husband, Cong'er is still young, young and ignorant, he is dissolute, and he talks arrogantly. Please don't take it to heart, husband."
Liu Biao turned to stare at Mrs. Cai for a long time, which made Mrs. Cai's eyes dodge a little, and then he said, "If you were asked to choose between the Cai family and the Prefecture Mufu, how would you choose?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Cai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Husband, you are joking, how could such a situation happen?"
Liu Biao opened his hand, waited for Mrs. Cai to lean on his shoulder, stroked Mrs. Cai's hair and said, "Madam, I owe you a husband. I can't have children with you."
"Xuan'er doesn't care." Mrs. Cai's voice came from Liu Biao's chest. (In history, she was only called Mrs. Cai. She was named Cai Xuan without permission. If you don't like it, don't criticize her.)
Liu Biao hugged Mrs. Cai tightly and said, "Madam, I, Liu Jingsheng, have a son like Cong'er, which is a great comfort in my life."
Mrs. Cai broke away from Liu Biao's arms, looked at Liu Biao and asked, "Husband, you won't punish Cong'er anymore?"
Liu Biao smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for bringing him up and treating him as your own. You didn't realize that Cong'er had such ambitions, right? Not to mention you, even I would not have thought of the 16-year-old Lang Zangzhuo.
It’s been more than ten years, so realistic!”
Looking at Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao suddenly said seriously: "Madam, as a husband, I will never be able to accomplish anything in this life. But no one can stop Cong'er. If you raise him, for the sake of mother-son affection, even if Mr. Cai and him
As an enemy, for your sake, Mrs. Cai will be fine. But you must remember that you cannot ask Cong'er for your mother's fate."
Seeing Liu Biao being so solemn, Mrs. Cai nodded and said, "Xuan'er knows that your husband plans to make Cong'er his heir?"
Liu Biao once again opened his arms and put his arms around Mrs. Cai's delicate body. Looking at the sun gradually setting outside the hall, he squinted and said, "I want to pave the way for my husband!"
Looking at the burning clouds in the sky, Liu Biao thought to himself: Son, since you dare to be honest with your father, my father will help you. You must get rid of the control of the family, continue the glory of the Han Dynasty, and make the world
People live a good life!
After leaving the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Cong looked at the setting sun, waved his hand a little anxiously, summoned the primary school at the door, and asked, "Where is Pang Tong?"
The captain replied: "They are going to Zhuangzi outside the city."
Liu Cong asked: "Do you know where it is?"
The captain replied: "The general will know."
With a 'pop' sound, Liu Cong clapped his hands: "Great, you, call a few more people, bring the horses, and follow me to find them."
The captain was unmoved. Liu Cong urged: "Why don't you go quickly?"
The captain had no choice but to reply: "Sir, my lord has given me special instructions that you are not allowed to ride a horse again."
…
Horse riding is just like swimming or driving. Sometimes accidents happen. The previous person was good at riding but was unlucky and tripped. This allowed Liu Cong to take advantage.
Liu Cong has been anxious for a long time. He doesn't have to think about those three old guys. But if Feng Chu and Pang Tong run away this time, they may never have another chance in the future.
Then he shouted angrily: "Go and fetch the horse. If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility. If the matter is done today, I will report it to my father. I will give you a heavy reward. If it is not done well, I will never let you have an easy time!"
The captain thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said to Liu Cong: "I can let the young master go out, but if Mr. Zhou Mu has any punishment after returning, please talk to Mr. Zhou Mu and tell him, just punish me, don't embarrass the brothers."
Liu Cong didn't expect that a small gatekeeper school could be so loyal, but he was worried about Pang Tong, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If something happens, I agree to your request."
The captain held up his hands to Liu Cong and thanked him: "Thank you, second master." Then he turned around and shouted, "You guys go get the horses. Order fifty and follow me."
Liu Cong saw that this small school was somewhat powerful, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"
The captain handed over his hand again: "The last general's surname is Huo Mingjun, and his courtesy name is Zhongmiao."
Liu Cong put his hand on his chin, thinking about how to persuade Pang Tong to surrender if he caught up with him, and he muttered casually: "Oh, Huo Jun, Huo Zhongmiao."
Huo Jun responded: "Yes."
"What? Your name is Huo Jun? Huo Zhongmiao?" Liu Cong suddenly took back his hand and asked in surprise.
Huo Jun looked at Liu Cong's change from carelessness to shock, and thought to himself: Could it be that the second young master fell off his horse and went crazy? But he responded by saying: "The general will not change his name when he is in office, and he will not change his surname when he is sitting down. It is Huo Jun.
Huo Zhongmiao."
Huo Jun, Liu Biao's subordinate, later surrendered to Liu Bei. At Jiameng Pass, he held off Liu Zhang's 10,000-strong army for a year with a few hundred men, and finally found an opportunity to defeat the enemy. This is also a great man.
Liu Cong looked at Huo Jun, his eyes shining: "From today on, you are mine!"
Huo Jun looked at Liu Cong in horror: "The last general is not a good man."
Liu Cong "..."
About sixty miles outside the city, three old men in Confucian robes and a mature scribe gathered around a lit bonfire. Not far away, there was a donkey tied to a tree stump, and it was spinning back and forth around the tree stump. It was Sima Hui.
Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong and Pang Tong.
Huang Chengyan wrapped his coat tightly and sat in front of the fire, stretching out his hands to warm the fire: "Sima Laoer, the Prefecture Mufu sent someone to send me off, why did you refuse? Zhuangzi outside the city is eighty miles away from Xiangyang City. Damn it.
, you actually want to walk back. Just forget it if you want to leave, but you are not allowed to take a step forward on my donkey."
Pang Degong looked at the dissolute Huang Chengyan and smiled bitterly: "Huang Laoer, God is healthy, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Walking is also the way of a gentleman."
Sima Hui also stroked his beard and said: "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. Mr. Chengyan, you must know that walking is also the way of a gentleman's cultivation."
Huang Chengyan rubbed his slightly cold hands: "I don't want to be a gentleman, nor do I want to practice cultivation. You two force me to go together, which goes against the sage's saying, 'Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.' I think you two
People are hypocrites too!”
Sima Hui and Pang Degong laughed loudly when they heard this.
Pang Tong was also laughing at the side, but Huang Chengyan happened to see him: "Little Pangzi, you are so ridiculous, why don't you add more firewood?"
These three people are all elders, so Pang Tong is the only one present to do the work. Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "Students will be added soon." All three of them can be counted as Pang Tong's teachers, and they all have this qualification!
Pang Degong suddenly said: "What do you think of the second young master of Nazhou Mufu today?"
Huang Chengyan put away his cynicism and said seriously: "This guy has profound knowledge and he hits the nail on the head!"
Sima Hui also said: "This son has a lot of power over Liu Jingsheng. I heard that he was very stubborn in the past. Could it be that he had an epiphany?"
After listening to what the two said, Mr. Pang Degong said: "What if this son deliberately hides his clumsiness?"
Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui were shocked after hearing this. If so, Liu Cong would be a bit unfathomable.
Huang Chengyan kicked Pang Tong who was adding firewood next to him and asked: "Little Pangzi, what do you think?"
Pang Tong recalled what Liu Cong said today, thought for a moment and said, "Master Liu, it's a pity that he is not the eldest son."
Huang Chengyan kicked Pang Yi again: "You want to leave home, right?"
Pang Degong shook his head and said: "Kong Ming still has Xuande, but where is the Ming leader of Shi Yuan?"
Hearing this, Pang Tong also looked a little helpless. Liu Bei had already learned about Kong Ming from Xu Shu. Although he hasn't visited yet, he will go there sooner or later. And what about Pang Tong? Can he only go to Jiangdong?
Huang Chengyan patted the fly ash on his hand: "Pang boy, why are you thinking so much? You should eat and sleep, why are you so miserable? Add more firewood."
Sima Hui looked helpless at this scene. Huang Chengyan was just an old naughty boy: "Have a rest for a while and continue on your way. We'll be there in twenty miles."
Huang Chengyan glared at him and said: "The road is long, are your old arms and legs okay?"
Just as Sima Hui was about to reply, the sounds of war horses neighing and galloping were heard in the distance.
"Herod!"
"Deng, Deng, Deng."
Then came the sound of knights scolding and the sound of horses' hooves hammering the ground.
"shelf!"
"Frame, frame."
"Rack, rack, rack."
Pang Tong was a little flustered and said: "Horse thief?"
Huang Chengyan said: "Although Liu Jingsheng is the lord of the city, the public security in Jingzhou is good."
Pang Degong nodded and said, "Yes, they should be from the Prefectural Mufu Mansion."
After a while, dozens of riders galloped to where they could see, everyone holding a torch, lighting up the night sky as bright as day.
"Hey!" The first person reined in his horse. It was Liu Cong who was leading the chase from Xiangyang.
"Herod!"
After a while of noise, all the knights stopped their horses. Under Huo Jun's instructions, they dismounted and held up torches to form a circle around them facing all directions.
Huo Jun led ten people to follow Liu Cong. Liu Cong waved his hand so that they did not have to follow: "How can the famous scholars in Jingzhou harm me? There is no need to follow, just disperse."
"No." Huo Jun led the people back.
Walking to the fire, before Liu Cong could speak, Sima Hui asked: "Master Liu, why are you pursuing me here late at night?"
