Gai Jun and Gai Yin had traveled thousands of miles and would not be able to return in a short time. It was quite inconvenient for Abai to live alone in Taixue. The two discussed it and decided that she would go to Cai Mansion to stay temporarily for some time before setting off.
On the day of his departure, Gai Jun was dressed in a red suit, carrying two bows, and a sword hanging from his waist. He was seven feet and five inches tall, with a face as sharp as a knife and eyes as bright as stars, making him majestic.
Gai Yin and A Bai were saying goodbye in the hall, and the carriage from Cai Mansion to pick her up was waiting in the courtyard early in the morning.
Ah Bai has been worried lately, and his face sometimes looks hesitant. Gai Yin asked Yin several times during this period, but he couldn't get an answer. He just thought she was worried about him and didn't think about him. Today, Ah Bai was even more anxious and turned around suddenly before leaving.
, she wanted to speak out what was in her heart, but looking at her husband's firm and gentle eyes, she burst into tears and became speechless, and finally got into the carriage.
Gai Jun and Gai Yin watched Ah Bai leave and said, "A Bai must have something on his mind. Maybe I shouldn't involve you."
Gai Yin suppressed the irritation in his heart and said with a serious face: "What are you talking about? Even if there is a big thing, it can't compare to the safety of the uncle of the small clan. In my opinion, she is probably worried about the dangerous road."
I'm afraid even he himself didn't believe this last sentence, let alone Gai Jun. He patted Gai Yin on the shoulder, and they picked up their luggage and led their horses out of the hospital. After walking not far, Zang Hong and Chen Ni came on foot.
Everyone said in unison: "Why doesn't Ziying want us to see him off?" "Others are afraid of Cheng Huang and Yang Qiu, so why should we be afraid? At worst, we can imitate Feng Yuan Tu and enter the Yuan Mansion."
Gai Jun said: "Ziyuan, if you want to see me off, just go to the gate of Taixue. Otherwise, please come back."
"you……"
Gai Jun turned a blind eye to the two men and took a detour.
Zang Hong and Chen Ni looked at each other and smiled bitterly, then chased after him.
Along the way, everyone looked at him sideways, obviously they had already heard the news that he would escort Cai Yong to Shuofang. Some of them admired him, some admired him, some were jealous, some were disdainful, and they gave mixed reviews. Gai Jun
How can I care about other people's opinions? Those who respect me will respect me in return, and those who hate me will ignore them.
When he arrived at the gate of Taixue, there were dozens of people behind him. Among them were people from Xuzhou, people from Guangzhou, people from Liangzhou, and people from the same country. Finally, his eyes fell on Fu Xun. Gai Jun was very happy and thought Fu Xun was cautious.
It was beyond his expectation that Zhao Feng came to see us off. He cupped his fists and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have to say goodbye after a long journey, so we'll stop here."
Brother Ercong took the lead in getting out of the crowd, walked up to him, was speechless for a long time, and finally patted him on the shoulder.
There was a ripple in Gai Jun's heart. With the second brother's limited talent, it may not be of much help to him in the future, but in terms of love, who can match it?
Feng Ji said: "Ziying, don't be surprised if your eldest brother can't come to see you off."
Gai Jun nodded and said, "Eldest brother has helped me a lot, how can I be surprised? When this is an emergency, it would be unfair for me to step forward."
Feng Ji said: "It's good that you know."
Chen Ni smiled and said, "When Ziying comes back, I will drink a thousand cups. Take care of it."
Gai Jun laughed loudly and said, "It's a deal."
Zang Hongdao: "Cherish it."
Suo Zhan took out a wine bag and handed it over, saying: "Brother Yu brought a jar of wine from his hometown, and now only this last bag is left."
"I knew that my eldest brother had the wine from my hometown, but I heard that my eldest brother would not drink it to relieve his homesickness, so I couldn't bear to ask for it." Gai Jun said as he pulled out the stopper and took a deep sip, and said with a smile: "As far as I am concerned,
Although the wine from my hometown is not the most delicious, it is what I want to drink the most." After saying this, starting from Fu Xun and other students from Liangzhou on the left, they waved and saluted the classmates who came to see them off, then turned around, put on their saddles, and rode away.
Luoyang, north of the city.
It was not a day of rest, so Cai Yong and his friends could not come in person, so they had to send their servants to see him off. Also, they were afraid of Cheng Huang, Yang Qiu and others who held grudges, so there were only dozens of people seeing him off, making the scene quite desolate.
The so-called Kunqi, that is, shaving off the hair and tying the neck with an iron ring. As a great Confucian in Guandong, Cai Yong was humiliated by the imperial court, which really failed the world.
In this situation, Cai's mother and Cai Wan did not bring Cai Gui here, as if they were afraid that she would be young and ignorant, which would leave a shadow in her heart.
"Gai Lang..." Cai Wan called to Gai Jun.
Cai Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Ziying, why are you doing this?"
Gai Jun jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Not to mention Wan'er, since we have been friends for many years, we have to complete our friendship."
"We forget our friendship..." Cai Yong said with a trace of warmth in his chest and abdomen: "Do you think I didn't know that you went to ask Yuan Benchu when I was in prison? The grace of saving my life has fulfilled our friendship. Go back, otherwise I will use Yang.
The big heart of the ball will definitely make things difficult for you."
Gai Jun was surprised after hearing this. Of course he wasn't doing it for Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu was nothing. At most, he found an excuse to kick him out of the Imperial College and accept the title of boy boy. He wasn't bragging. With his current reputation and social skills, once he got out,
It won't take long for the Imperial Academy to have a minister recruit him as an official, and he will be promoted as a filial and honest person. There is no need to worry about becoming an official. What he is curious about is why Cai Yong knew that he was seeking Yuan Shao.
Cai Yong shook his head and said sadly: "It's true that I have a good relationship with the Yuan family, but they really treat me as a monument maker. Since ancient times, it is easy to add flowers to the cake, but it is difficult to provide help when the time is right. What's more, if there is a danger that will affect your own family, how can you seek stability with two gentlemen?
I think it was Yuan Benchu who persuaded the Second Duke to stand up for me. Yuan Benchu and I have always been on good terms with each other, and no one but you can persuade him."
"Stelemaker..." Gai Jun looked stunned. Cai Yong was talented and brilliant in literature. He was responsible for the epitaphs of many ministers after their death, and he was responsible for all the tombstones for the Yuan family. Then he suddenly became enlightened and thought:
"No wonder Cai Yong didn't say anything when Dong Zhuo massacred the Yuan family in the capital. He was frozen three feet in a day." He recovered his thoughts and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade me.
Cai Yong sighed heavily.
Duke Cao's servant came to the two of them with a gloomy look and said respectfully: "Cai Yilang, it's time to set off." If he were an ordinary person, he would have driven them away with a whip, but Cai Yong was a well-known scholar in the world after all.
According to the Han system, when an officer escorts a prisoner, there should be a chariot and a horse to lead the chariot. However, the road conditions in Henan and Hanoi are not bad. Once you cross Hanoi, you will see the towering Taihang Mountains. They are really one hill after another, one ridge after another.
Next to a ridge, how could the carriage run across this endless chasm? This was the source of all the unhappiness in his heart. He would rather go to the barren land in the south to join the state than to merge with the state. Unfortunately, the superior officer had an order and could not violate it.
"Husband..."
"Father……"
Cai Wan, mother and daughter threw themselves on Cai Yong. Cai Yong burst into tears and hugged his wife tightly, holding her on her shoulders, as if they were parting forever.
The servant endured his impatience and urged: "Cai Yilang, let's go quickly. If we miss the time, I can't afford to delay you."
"Take good care of my son."
Cai Yong gritted his teeth, pushed his wife and daughter away, turned and left.
"Father……"
Cai Wan cried and wanted to catch up, but Gai Jun grabbed her and said softly: "Wan'er, don't cry, I will keep Cai Yilang safe."
"Gailang, please don't let my father get hurt."
Gai Jun nodded, led his horse and followed Cai Yong, leaving behind a decisive word.
