Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24 Heading to Julu County

Du Ji was holding the clothes in his hands, and suddenly encountered a problem. It was raining heavily outside, and how could he change clothes without a place to hide?

Wang Lei said: "Follow the power urgently, Brother Bohou will take care of it."

Du Ji is a modest gentleman and a refined scholar.In front of Wang Lei, he felt panicked with embarrassment on his face, and the suit of clothes he held in his hand felt hot, which made him very uncomfortable.Wang Lei understood that scholars are thin-skinned, so he rolled his eyes and thought of a way, "Since Brother Bohou is embarrassed, just turn around and face the curtain of the carriage door, so that your back is facing us."

Du Ji's face brightened, thinking that this idea is good.

Although there is suspicion of deception, but at least the front is covered.He turned his back, took off his soaked clothes, and put on the old man's clothes.

The old man and Du Ji are about the same size, just right.

Du Ji breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "My lord extended his hand to help. Du Ji still doesn't know your name, how dare you ask your surname?"

"I'm Wang Lei!"

Wang Lei changed the subject and asked, "Brother Bohou is going on the road in the rain, where are you going?"

Du Ji said: "The Central Plains is raging with flames, and I will seek refuge in Liaodong."

Wang Lei said "Oh" without commenting. After a pause, he continued: "It's a long way from Jizhou to Liaodong, especially now in the south of Julu County, driving all the way north, and then going to Zhongshan Country, and then entering You Fanyang County, Zhuo County, Ji County, and then east to Youbeiping in Liaodong, this is not a long journey, it is quite a long way!"

Du Ji was surprised. He didn't expect Wang Lei to be so familiar with the route to Liaodong. He smiled slightly and said with emotion: "Your brother is right. It is indeed a long way to Liaodong."

Wang Lei changed the subject again, and said with a smile: "I went north to Zhongshan, and I can go a little longer with Brother Bohou. Anyway, I have two carriages, which can accommodate Brother Bohou and the old lady. Let's go north together."

Du Ji quickly declined and said, "How embarrassing this is!"

Wang Lei said: "We are destined to meet each other, Brother Bohou, don't refuse any more, this matter is settled."

Du Ji said gratefully: "Being obedient is worse than being respectful, thank you dear brother."

"Brother Bohou, you are too polite!"

Wang Lei chuckled in his heart, it was his chance to keep Du Ji.The old man sat next to Wang Lei, opened his eyes with a half-smile, the expression in his eyes seemed to have seen through Wang Lei's thoughts.Wang Lei turned a blind eye, the old man couldn't understand him now, but why didn't he not understand the old man?This old man is quite mysterious.

Du Ji asked: "Your brother, what's the matter when you go north to Zhongshan?"

Wang Lei replied casually: "Jizhou Mu Hanfu appointed me as the county magistrate of Wuji County. This time I went north to Zhongshan Country to go to Wuji County to take up the post."

"what!!"

Du Ji exclaimed, his face full of astonishment.

The person in front of him was actually a county magistrate.

Seeing Wang Lei's burly and strong body, he subconsciously classified Wang Lei as a hero, and did not regard Wang Lei as a person of status.Du Ji noticed his gaffe, and immediately said: "Your younger brother should be under 20 years old, but he is the magistrate of a county. It is really admirable. Du Ji thought that he was proud to be the magistrate of Zheng County at the age of 20, but he and Compared with my virtuous brother, I am really ashamed."

These words made Wang Lei feel quite comfortable in his heart.

Wang Lei humbly said: "Brother Bohou is over-rewarded, this is highly valued by the state shepherd, otherwise it would be difficult for Wang Lei to be the head of a county."

Mr. Du muttered in his heart, this kid is cunning!

Where is Han Fu's high regard, he clearly killed someone with a borrowed knife, but in Wang Lei's mouth, it has become a high priority.

This kid is cunning and cunning!

In the eyes of the old man, there was a clear expression of appreciation.It is not necessary to tell the truth to be a human being. It is undoubtedly better for yourself to understand it from another angle.

Summer thunderstorms come and go quickly, and the heavy rain stops after an hour.

The bright sun is out, and the golden sun is shining down, shining everywhere.

The two carriages continued on their way, going straight to the county seat of Nanhe County.Wang Lei and his party entered Nanhe County without supplementing food. The dried meat, bread, etc. stored in the carriage had been almost consumed, and they needed to supplement food.In the evening, Wang Lei and his party of eight arrived in Nanhe County, Xiao Hao went to the city alone to buy food, and Uncle Fu found a dilapidated Taoist temple outside the city for the night.

As the night was coming to an end, Xiao Hao returned with a load of food on his back.

"Crackling!!"

The bonfire is burning, and the fire in the Taoist temple is bright.

Wang Lei, Du Ji and the old man sat beside the fire, while Du Ji's mother, Guo Yu, Queen Guo, Xiao Hao and Fu Bo sat not far away.After dinner, the old man looked at Wang Lei and said in a serious tone: "Hutou, we have arrived in Nanhe County, and Julu County is to the east of Nanhe County, not far from here. I have an old friend in Julu County. Luxian, I have to go see him."

Wang Lei said without hesitation: "The old man is going. We will turn around and go to Julu County tomorrow, and then go north. The journey to Julu County is not far, and it will take a day or two at most."

After a pause, Wang Lei looked at Du Ji with an apologetic look on his face, "Brother Bohou, the old man is going to Julu County, so he has to waste a day or two of his time, please forgive me."

Du Ji shook his head and said, "It's okay, my mother and I are not in a hurry."

He followed Wang Lei to the north and ate Wang Lei's food. As the saying goes, eating people has short mouths, so it's not easy to refuse.

The old man stared at the burning bonfire, and said quietly: "Back then, Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher, gathered a crowd in Julu and caused a war in Julu County. I haven't been there for many years. I don't know what it is like now?"

Wang Lei narrowed his eyes and regained his composure in an instant.

Du Ji threw a twig into the fire, and said with emotion: "Zhang Jiao gathered a crowd to riot, and there are constant disputes in various places, and the world is not peaceful. It is because of the constant wars that I took my mother to Liaodong to escape the wars."

Wang Lei shook his head lightly, and did not agree with Du Ji's statement, "Brother Bohou, there is no pure land in the world when there are wars everywhere. You think Liaodong is good, but you don't know that Liaodong is not a pure land. It is often harassed by the Huns and Wuhuan. Not a place of tranquility."

Du Ji said: "Even so, it is better than staying in the Central Plains."

Wang Lei's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Blindly avoiding is not the answer. What if Brother Bohou took the old lady to Liaodong and met the Huns? What should we do at that time? Should we stand up and resist? Or leave Liaodong and go into exile for the rest of us?" place. At any time, evasion is not the best way, that is the way only cowards choose."

In a word, it was like thunder on the ground.

Du Ji's color changed accordingly, and his eyes towards Wang Lei became unfriendly.Du Ji was very grateful for Wang Lei's help, but it didn't mean that Du Ji acquiesced to Wang Lei's opinion. He said lightly: "I don't agree with Wang Lei's statement."

The corner of Wang Lei's mouth turned up, with disdain, "Brother Bohou, please!"

In a word, a debate has already been launched against Du Ji.

If the two cannot reach a common opinion, it is natural to have a discussion.Du Ji is not an ordinary person either, he stood up tall, lifted his robe and sat down on his knees, raised his head and chest, with a serious expression, already ready for battle.

The same is true for Wang Lei, the two sat opposite each other.
