Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

After leaving Bingzhou, it suddenly began to rain in the sky.

There is not much rain, but it is hazy, and the whole sky has become gray. This kind of weather is very inconvenient for traveling.

They left Bingzhou and kept a low profile along the way. Even if Yuan Shao sent people to hunt them down again, they couldn't find anyone in a short time.

What's more, the news of Bingzhou may not have reached Yuan Shao yet.

Even Jizhou and other places next to him didn't know what happened. In this way, Chen Yang was provided with a lot of convenience.

This afternoon, Chen Yang ordered people to camp and rest on the spot, and not to rush on the rainy day.

"General, we can eat meat again tonight!"

Dian Wei took several people out to hunt again, and finally dragged several wild boars back, and said excitedly.

Chen Yang just smiled, made sure that there was no other danger around, and let them eat to their heart's content, so that they would have the strength to go on their way tomorrow.

Because Bingzhou was attacked by Chen Yang, Yuan Shao and the others will definitely focus on the north, and Yecheng may not be able to take care of it, so they have to rush back as soon as possible.

Soon, it will be evening.

The soldiers had enough to eat and drink, and they put aside their worries some time ago.

Chen Yang practiced sword with Wang Yue for a while, and was about to go back to rest in the tent, when suddenly he saw one or two wet footprints at the entrance of the tent.

The sky is still raining, although it is not heavy, but it can also wet the ground and the grass. It is easy to get water droplets on the shoes. It is normal to have such obvious footprints.

What's abnormal is that after the tent was set up, Chen Yang never went in, nor did he let anyone in. How could there be an extra footprint?

"Wang Yue, come here first!"

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he looked into the tent.

There were no lights in the tent, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see if anyone was there.

Chen Yang pointed to the footprints, and gave Wang Yue a gesture, and the latter knew how to open the curtain first to go in.

The moment the curtain was lifted, a dazzling knife light rushed out from inside, Wang Yue immediately drew his sword out of its sheath, and swung it down towards the knife light.

When the swords collided, there was a crisp sound.

Then, a figure appeared from the tent, it was the old man on Taiping Road.

At the same time, Li Yuan also reacted, swung the long halberd past, Wang Yue's sword followed the long halberd, and stabbed the old man vigorously.

"Old thief, leave!"

With a roar, Dian Wei also swung his halberd to attack.

At this moment, the three of them fought with the old man.

Although the old man's strength is very strong, but he is one against three, he soon fell to the disadvantage, and had to retreat in embarrassment.

When the soldiers in other camps saw this, they all surrounded him, with their bows and crossbows ready, ready to shoot and kill the old man at any time.

"General Chen, can you tell them to stop first? This time I am not here to oppose you!" the old man said loudly.

"When I take down you old thief, I will stop!"

The halberd in Dian Wei's hands was spinning like the wind, and he tried his best to beat down the old man, Wang Yue and Li Yuan didn't intend to stop.

Although the old man was at a disadvantage, his strength was really strong, even so, he could still handle it.

"Mr. Shui Jing told you to go west, saying that there was a chance, but he didn't tell you all the reasons."

The old man glanced over Li Yuan, and said, "Do you think you have already obtained this opportunity?"

After speaking, the old man drew back and dodged the attacks of the three of them.

"What do you mean?" Chen Yang asked with a frown.

"Tell them to stop, and I'll tell you what it means!" The old man said while slashing out with his knife.

The knife in his hand seemed to be divided into three parts, hitting Wang Yue and the others separately.

A large piece of dazzling knife light flashed, and Wang Yue and the three had to retreat.

"Wang Yue, stop first!" Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

"Shopkeeper Chen, don't let him go!" Dian Wei said loudly.

Chen Yang shook his head and said: "With you guys here, he can't escape anywhere, stop first, I want to see what else he can say."

There is no doubt that what the old man said just now has aroused Chen Yang's curiosity.

"You're lucky this time!"

Dian Wei glared at the old man, he retreated first, and Wang Yue and Li Yuan also stopped.

"Can you speak now?" Chen Yang asked.

"Your greatest opportunity is actually me!"

The old man squinted his eyes and said: "At the beginning, I guessed that you might be the person I needed to find, but I wasn't sure whether it was or not, so I wanted to take you back for verification, until you went to Mr. Shui Jing .”

Chen Yang asked puzzledly, "Why?"

The old man said: "Because Mr. Shui Jing has been waiting for you to appear, that is his fate, and your appearance is this variable."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you're just trying to tell me this, it's useless, keep doing it!"

After hearing this, Dian Wei raised his halberd and rushed forward again.

The old man quickly waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, whether you believe it or not, I cannot deny that I am your chance, and I can prove it to you."

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of worn sheepskin from his arms and threw it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang opened it and took a close look. Suddenly, his whole body trembled, his eyes widened, and he couldn't describe what he saw for a moment.

"Now, can you believe it?"

The old man said with a smile: "The things have been given to you, I will come to you again in the future, I hope you can figure it out."

After all, he turned to leave.

"Hugh has to escape!"

Dian Wei raised his halberd and wanted to chase after him again.

"Lao Dian, let him go!" Chen Yang stopped him.

"Shopkeeper Chen, why did you let him go?" Dian Wei said a little sullenly.

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "There are some things that I can't explain to you for the time being, I have my own arrangements."

He put away the sheepskin, returned to his tent, and told Wang Yue not to allow anyone to come in.

Going back to the tent, unfolding the sheepskin again, Chen Yang looked at the writing on it.

The first thing he saw were the three large characters at the beginning of the scroll——Taiping Jing.

Next, it is all the content of the "Taiping Jing".

If it was just ordinary content, Chen Yang wouldn't be so shocked.

The reason why he was shocked was that those glyphs were all simplified characters, that is, the characters used in modern society in later generations.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, how could simplified characters appear in modern society?

For a moment, Chen Yang didn't know how to explain the contents of this parchment. Several ideas appeared in his mind to explain, but he couldn't convince himself that these ideas were true.

"Simplified characters, this is really simplified characters!"

"However, in this era, how can there be simplified characters?"

Chen Yang muttered to himself: "Who is that old man? Also, why did Sima Hui let me go west?"

A series of questions kept popping up in his mind.

What happened today is too incredible to explain.
