It was already in the afternoon. Two young people, one came in a carriage, and the other came by alone, and met unexpectedly at the gate of the prefecture.
As soon as the car stopped, he quickly opened the curtain and put the pedals down. A young man walked out of the car slowly. This young man was very handsome, with a smooth and white face, dark and deep eyes, all showing nobility and elegance, but he coughed slightly from time to time, and seemed to have suffered some cold.
Just as the young man got out of the car, a bay red horse turned at the intersection and went straight to the gate of the prefecture, where a young man was immediately seated. The young man on the horse is not just handsome, it can be described as pretty. He was born with red lips and white teeth, and his bright black eyes are as clear as crystal, but his handsome face has a trace of indifference, only a mouthful hanging from his waist. The sword showed great heroism.
The two young men looked at each other and stepped up at the same time. The guards guarding the gate of the mansion had already stopped up and asked about their origins. It turns out that these two people didn't go all the way. They came to the prefecture, but they didn't look for the same person.
The young man who came by the car was Wei Zhongdao. Needless to say, Cai Yong was naturally the one he was looking for.
The Wei family is not only the leading gentry family in Hedong, but also famous throughout the Han Dynasty, because they are descendants of the general Wei Qing, and they have also produced queens like Wei Zifu. In addition to Luoyang, there are Wei family properties in all areas of Sili, while Chenliu, Jiyi and even Panyu have Wei family branches.
Wei Zhongdao had already married Cai Yan and planned to marry her in February. Unexpectedly, when Wei Zhongdao came to Luoyang again, he learned that Cai Yong's family had gone to Jingzhou with Liu Xin. Later, there was a Yellow Turban riot and the road was blocked, and the matter was delayed.
The Wei family had a lot of eyes and ears in Luoyang, and Liu Xin sent someone to escort the tax to the capital. Wei Zhongdao came to Xiangyang this time, on the one hand to help his family develop business in Jingzhou, and on the other hand, for his relationship with Cai Yan. Wei Zhongdao once coveted Bian Yu's beauty, and for this reason he had a festival with Liu Xin. Although he has been in and out of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion as usual for the past six months, he never encountered a woman who could really fascinate him, because The looks and talents of these people are not as good as Bian Yu and Cai Yan.
Wei Zhongdao already knew that Cai Yong was the principal of Xiangyang Academy. Once he arrived in Xiangyang, he asked the way and went straight to the Academy. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin regarded the academies and research institutes as the top defense of the two places, and no one could get in. No matter how rich Wei Zhongdao is, it is not easy to use here. The guards of these places are the Flying Tigers' personal guards. Without the orders of their superiors, they would not let anyone go. Wei Zhongdao had no choice but to find out that Cai Yong lived in Zhoumufu, so he came here. However, the guards at the gate heard that he had come to see Cai Yong, and still refused to let him in, because Cai Yong had gone out, and they would let him go only when Cai Yong came back.
The other young man came to Liu Xin, but he refused to say his name all the time. He had to see Liu Xin. Liu Xin was in the house, and after the guards notified him, he let him in.
Liu Xin looked up and down at the young man in front of him. He was too beautiful, and a little too beautiful. If he were a woman, he would definitely fascinate many men.
The young man suddenly removed the scarf from his head, revealing a long black hair. Liu Xin looked at him carefully. He seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The young man's Zhu lips lightly opened, and said, "Don't the adults know the folk girls?"
Liu Xin only realized that this was a woman, wearing a man's clothes. I really didn't see it just now. No wonder she thought she was so beautiful. Liu Xin thought hard, but still couldn't remember who this woman was, so she said, "Forgive Liu Mou's eyesight, is the girl?"
The woman was not annoyed, and said blankly: "The adult is a noble and forgets things. The girl is called Zhang Ning."
"Zhang Ning!" Liu Xin was shocked. It turned out to be Zhang Jiao's daughter. She was dressed in Taoist costume at the time. No wonder she didn't recognize it and couldn't help but shout, "You are so courageous, do you know what this is? Place, how dare you come here!"
Zhang Ning was not afraid, and said, "My lord, you can still remember that my father used to betroth me to an adult last year."
Liu Xin also remembered what Zhang Bao had said about the matchmaker, nodded, and said: "There is such a thing, so what. Zhang, I don't make it difficult for you, you should go quickly, and I will assume that you have never been here."
Zhang Ning still said blankly: "Does your lord dislike me for being ugly?"
Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "That's not true, it's just that you and I have never been ignorant, so I really can't talk about it."
Zhang Ning calmly said, "As long as the adult does one thing for me, I will be yours from now on. Whether you are a concubine or a maid, it all depends on the words of the adult."
Liu Xin became vigilant and said: "Miss Zhang, I have something you may not like to hear. Your father is no longer alive. The dead are dead, and the living are like this. Although I will not report you to the court, but It's impossible to go against the court for you, I can't help you with your affairs. Please also ask the girl to go early, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Zhang Ning looked at Liu Xin coldly, and said, "I can't think that Jingzhou Mu is a timid person! Don't worry, I don't want you to rebel. As long as you help me kill someone, you can do it. Don't do it?"
Liu Xin became curious and asked, "Who do you want me to kill?"
Zhang Ning did not suddenly show a fierce look, and gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Zhou!"
Liu Xin suddenly realized that he now knew that Zhang Ning’s two senior brothers were the closest to her. She died at the hands of Xu Huang in the hands of her senior brother Zhu Qing, but the second brother Tang Zhou betrayed Taipingdao. It seems that this girl has already Zhang Jiao's rote was on Tang Zhou's head. Liu Xin suddenly saw the sword hanging from Zhang Ning's waist. He was very familiar with this sword. In Hejian, Liu Xin asked master craftsmen to cast ten identical swords and distributed them to his cronies. There was one such sword in his mansion. Liu Xin knew about Xu Huang's gift of the sword to Zhang Ning. He didn't expect that after so long, Zhang Ning would still tie the sword around his waist. What does that mean? Liu Xin couldn't help laughing.
Seeing a smile on Liu Xin's face, Zhang Ning became nervous, and tremblingly said, "You promised?"
Liu Xin put aside her smile, shook her head, and said, "Miss Zhang, this matter is of great importance. Please sit down and wait for a while, let me think about it."
Liu Xin can't be careful about who Zhang Ning is, she is Zhang Jiao's daughter, and if she helps her, it will be no different from an anti-thief. Although the Yellow Turban was destroyed, there were still many more parties, such as the later Gong Du, Liu Pi, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua. Zhang Ning was Zhang Jiao's daughter. If she came forward, these people would definitely come and surrender. As for the life and death of Tang Zhou, Liu Xin didn't care about it.
After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Xin couldn't make up his mind for a while, and asked: "Who else knows when you are here?"
Zhang Ning did not conceal the slightest bit of concealment. He put together all his experiences during the time and said: "Father and the army confronted the army in Guangzong, and he was already seriously ill. He had expected that things would not be far off. My father left me alone. I went to the south to get a magical medicine, saying that it could cure his illness. After many twists and turns, I found the place my father said, where is the medicine, only a letter and a batch of jewelry, the letter was left to me by my father, and told me I stay incognito and stay away from home. I still don’t give up. I want to go back to Jizhou. I learned of my father’s death halfway through the road. I was distraught and angry. I went northward and went to Luoyang to go to Luoyang, the traitor Tang Zhou. , But this guy is very cautious. I can't do it alone. The Yellow Turban army has been defeated everywhere. After many thoughts, you are the only one who can help me get revenge."
Liu Xin was silent for a long time and said, "In this way, no one else knows that you have come to me?"
Zhang Ning suddenly showed a look of horror on his face, and asked: "Yes. My lord, what do you mean? Could it be that you are going to kill someone!"
Liu Xin was taken aback, and said: "Where did I start with this? I am also a hero who stands upright, how can I do such abusive things."
Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So the lord did you agree to me?"
Liu Xin nodded and said, "I can promise to avenge you, but there is a condition-get married first, then kill!"
The expression on Zhang Ning's face changed, and he bit his lip lightly, as if it was difficult to make this decision. Liu Xin looked at her with a smile, the air in the hall seemed to freeze. Zhang Ning hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth, and finally came to his heart, and said: "Okay, I promise you. However, you have to swear that you must kill Tang Zhou!"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "I won't take this oath, because I never believed that the oath can be fulfilled, so if I did it, I didn't make it. However, I, Liu Xin, said that and promised to kill Tang Zhou for you, so I will definitely do it. Yes, but you have to give me some time."
Zhang Ning has already given up his mind, holding down the sword in his hand and said: "As long as you help me do this, I will promise you what you do. But if you don't believe it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Liu Xin laughed loudly: "Okay, then we'll make a decision and we will get married in three days. From now on, you will live in my house temporarily. Don't disclose your history to anyone except Madam."
Wei Zhongdao sat back in the car again, looked out through the curtains of the car, and the young man he met in front of the mansion entered the state animal husbandry mansion, but has not come out until now, even the bay red horse was led by someone. Go in, and he has to wait outside. Today he has to see Cai Yong no matter what, he has already lost Bian Yu, Cai Yan is determined to win, not to mention that she was originally his fiancée, thinking of this, Wei Zhongdao couldn't help but cough violently.
It wasn't until dusk that a team of cavalry appeared at the entrance of the alley, slowly approaching the gate of the prefecture, guarding a carriage. The car stopped steadily, the door curtain was lightly raised, and an elder man with a fascinating look slowly walked off.
Wei Zhongdao fixed his eyes, and it was Cai Yong. Cai Yong's complexion was many times better than when he was in Luoyang, and he obviously had a good life in Jingzhou. Wei Zhongdao rushed forward quickly, bowed to Cai Yongshen, and said, "Late born Wei Zhongdao pays respects to Mr.". These steps thought that he was walking in a hurry, and he couldn't help but cough again.
