villain

Chapter 75

Just after dawn, Cai Yong's chariot and horses drove out of Yingchuan slowly.

When Xun Shuang and others heard the news, Cai Yong had already left Yingchuan, which made Xun Shuang and He Yong beat their chests.

The sun rose above the horizon, and the sky was cloudless.

The chariots and horses traveled along the Yingshui official road, and at about noon, they left the boundary of Yingchuan and turned into the territory of Henan Yin.From this point, if you go southeast, you can reach Guancheng in about a day's journey, and then continue to move forward, and you can reach Chen State in three to five days, which can be regarded as entering the boundary of Chenliu.

Cai Yong did not stay in Henan Yin, let alone visit Henan Yin Wangyun, but directly crossed Yingshui by boat.

When the burly boy passed by Henan Yin, he couldn't help asking: "Teacher, why don't we visit Mr. Wang?"

Cai Yong was resting his eyes in the car, when he heard the young man's words, he thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Zi Shi is indeed talented, but he is narrow-minded and often uses intrigue. Moreover, he is a member of the Qingliu Party. We had better not get too close to him. Yuan Tan, it's not because the teacher is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, Shi Changshi is now in the limelight Zhengsheng, and he has lost all ties with the general. Wang Zishi's intention to follow the general is good, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a big event, and he will end up making wedding dresses for others. We are taking refuge now, and we should not get involved in right and wrong. It is better to return to Chenliu's hometown as soon as possible. .”

"Students understand!"

The burly boy nodded, and immediately urged the chariots and horses to hurry up.

After crossing Yingshui, the group took a rest at the station, and after having lunch, they immediately set off to Chenliu.There was nothing wrong with the road. In the evening, the chariots and horses came to a place called Fuxi Mountain, which was a branch of Songshan Mountain.

To get to Guancheng, you must pass through the canyon of Fuxi Mountain.

It was getting late at this time, and the burly boy asked Cai Yong again: "Teacher, it's getting dark now, why don't we rest outside the mountain tonight, and go on the road tomorrow morning?"

Cai Yong stepped out of the car and looked up at the sky.

"It's midsummer now, and it's getting dark late. I think we should catch another ride... After Fuxi Mountain, there will be Guancheng Station. If we stay here tonight, we will have to sleep in the wilderness." Yuan Tan , let's catch another ride."

The burly boy thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, and urged the chariot and horses to speed up.

Fuxi Mountain is not big, and the mountain road is not particularly rugged.If you follow the normal speed, you can pass within an hour.

Unexpectedly, while on the road, the shaft of the car suddenly broke.

Although it was not the car that Cai Yong was riding in, in Cai Yong's view, the items in that car were more precious than his life.

All the letters on the car were the letters that Cai Yongqiong had collected throughout his life.

The shaft of the chariot broke, causing the ox cart to fall on the road, and the letters were scattered all over the place.Cai Yong was so distressed that he immediately jumped out of the car and shouted loudly: "Everyone stop, stop... Yuan Tan, hurry up and find someone to pick up the slips."

The burly young man was very aware of his teacher's preferences. Seeing this situation, he knew that if he didn't pack up the slips, Cai Yong might not leave.He ordered someone to clean it up, walked up to Cai Yong and said, "Teacher, where do you put this letter? This car is clearly unusable."

"In my car, in my car!"

Cai Yong squatted on the ground, picked up the letter and wiped the dust off it with his sleeve, with a distressed look on his face.The burly boy nodded and asked someone to carry the letter on the car to Cai Yong's car.Instead of picking up the letter, he walked to the side of the broken ox cart, squatted down, and checked the fracture of the shaft.Seeing this, I was surprised.

At least two-thirds of the shaft of the arm-thick shaft is flat, apparently hacked by someone secretly.

The part that breaks naturally is only one-third.

It is caused when the car is moving, especially when passing through the bumps of the mountain road.

The burly boy clearly remembered that he had carefully checked the vehicle before setting off from Yingchuan.At that time, the shaft was intact and there was no scar.If so, the shaft could only have been tampered with on the way.

Along the way, the car battle almost never stopped.

The burly young man recalled carefully that when he crossed Yingshui, he left the chariot battle; and when he was eating at the post station, he left the chariot battle.If someone has tampered with it, it is only possible that something went wrong in these two places.

The post station, which was opened by the government, is unlikely.

The only remaining possibility is...

A bad premonition arose in the burly boy's heart.He quickly walked to Cai Yong's side, and whispered in Cai Yong's ear the problems he found.Cai Yong's expression also changed, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Yuan Tan, what should we do?"

"Teacher, we have two roads now. One is to abandon these chariots and go on the road lightly, passing through the Fuxi Mountain Canyon. When we arrive at the station, we will be safe; Get out and find a safe place to rest. After dawn, we will find some more people and pass through the canyon together."

The burly boy hesitated for a moment, "But the second method is not safe. If we exit the valley, we can only sleep in the wilderness. God knows what will happen... After all, there are no villages or shops here, so accidents are easy."

Cai Yong hesitated for a moment, looking at the letters all over the floor, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

It is undeniable that the first road mentioned by the burly boy is the safest.As long as you arrive at the post station, you can be guaranteed.But these letters are all treasures he has collected through hard work.It would be a pity to abandon it in the wilderness like this.

Seeing that Cai Yong hadn't spoken, the burly young man said softly, "Teacher, although the slips are precious, they are dead things after all. The green hills left behind are not afraid of running out of firewood. As long as you are alive, teacher, you can collect them again. But if you are not around Now, who cares about these letters? Besides, don’t all the junior sisters still have copies of her seal carvings?”

Cai Yong thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Tan is right, throw away the chariot and let's quickly pass through the canyon."

As soon as the order was given, the followers immediately started to act.The burly boy observed secretly, but did not find any strange behaviors from these followers.Feeling a little uneasy, the burly young man and others surrounded Cai Yong and marched towards the mountain. The group of people did not stop, and finally passed through the canyon before dark, and found a post not far away.

This post station is not far from Fuxi Mountain Pass, besides one post official, there are [-] handymen.

Although Cai Yong was dismissed from office, he was a generation of emperor's teacher after all, and he carried a gold medal bestowed by the emperor with him.What's more, he is a world-renowned celebrity, so the post officer didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and immediately ordered someone to clean the room, so that Cai Yong and others could settle down.

This place is about 180 miles away from Guancheng.

Safety is safety, but Cai Yong still feels distressed for those letters he discarded.

During the meal, he even begged the post officer to pack up the letters after dawn.It's better to pack as much as you can, than to throw it all away.For Cai Yong's request, the post officer repeatedly agreed and asked Cai Yong to rest assured.

After eating, Cai Yong lay on the couch and still sighed.

For a while, he blamed himself for being cowardly and afraid of death, and for a while, he was worried that those letters would be destroyed, and he didn't rest until late at night.

Cai Yong fell asleep, but the burly boy who was a student did not fall asleep.

Although he arrived at the station, he still felt uneasy.There was an intuition that he always felt that something was abnormal.

But what is abnormal?
The burly boy couldn't speak.He couldn't sleep until midnight.When Diao Dou at the inn heard the sound of being tied up, it indicated that it was already the next day.The burly boy sat up suddenly and listened with his ears sideways.He seemed to hear the sound of rustling.Some people walked back and forth, and from time to time, some people lowered their voices and talked softly.

"Hurry up, hurry up...get all the firewood here."

"Mr. Huang, don't rush, don't worry. We have drugged the wine, and everyone should be asleep right now, and there will be no problems. Once the fire is lit, our task will be completed ,Do not worry."

"Don't worry, how can I worry?"

The voice was very small, but the burly boy understood it.

Drinks were indeed prepared for dinner, but because he was not at ease, it was useless.And Cai Yong didn't even drink a drop of wine because he felt sorry for those letters.But the entourage seemed to have drunk a lot and had a rest early.

The burly boy hurriedly got up and went to bed, walked to the window, and looked out from the gap in the window edge.

I saw dozens of people in the yard outside the window.The leader was the post officer, but this time he was wearing a scholar's attire and a high crown, which was very different from the previous appearance.Dozens of handymen also changed their clothes, wearing yellow scarves, and looked like they belonged to a certain organization.Outside the yard, there were torches shaking, obviously there were still many people.

No, it's really dangerous.

The boy turned around and pushed Cai Yong awake.

"Teacher, it's not good, someone wants to kill us!"

Cai Yong was sleepy at first, but when he heard the young man say this, his drowsiness disappeared immediately, "Who, who wants to kill us?"

"I don't know yet!"

Cai Yong was fully awake, walked to the window and glanced out through the gap.Outside the house, there are a lot of firewood.Seeing that they were all ready, the post officer nodded and signaled his subordinates to throw the torch on the firewood, preparing to burn Cai Yong and others to death.

Bang, the door suddenly opened.

Cai Yong stood at the door of the room, surrounded by young guards with swords.

The people in the yard were obviously taken aback.But they quickly calmed down, and the post officer dressed as a scribe stepped forward.

"Mr. Bo Jie, student Huang Shao, I'm here to say hello to you."

This is a name that has never been heard before, Cai Yong is very strange.

However, he remained calm, stretched out his hand to let the burly boy stand behind him, and took a step forward.

"Huang Shao, who wants to kill me?"

Huang Shao seemed to respect Cai Yong very much, and bowed slightly, "Mr. Bo Jie is a great Confucian in the world, and is respected by the world. Although Shao is not talented, he respects him very much. If not... Shao really does not want to hurt him. Since Mr. Ask, Shao will tell the truth. The people who want to kill Mr. Zhongchang are Feng Xuan and Xu Feng, and Shao is just following orders."

Cai Yong's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled wryly.

I thought that I would be safe if I left Luoyang.Who knew that those eunuchs didn't want to let him go, so they rushed to kill them all.

Looking back at the burly young man, Cai Yong said: "Huang Shao, Yong Guan, you are also a scholar. Since Shi Changshi wants my life, Yong has nothing to say. It's just that Yong has something to ask... Yuan Tan just follows me As a student, I have no grievances with Shi Changshi, but I was burdened by Yong. If you are still a scholar, please let me go as a student."

"Teacher..." The burly young man was startled and furious, "Gu Yong is not talented, but he also knows the five constants of the world, the king, the master, and the five constants of the world. How can he abandon the teacher and live alone? If Gu Yong escapes, how will he face the people of the world? To younger brothers and younger sisters? Teacher, if you still regard Gu Yong as a student, don’t say that again. Huang Shao, with Gu Yong around, don’t even think about hurting my teacher.”

Pointing at Huang Shao with the long sword, Gu Yong shouted loudly.

Huang Shao showed shame, and bowed his hands to Cai Yong, "Sir, it's not because Shao refuses to agree, it's really impossible!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shouted, "Light it up!"

Dozens of torches were thrown out and landed on the pyre, immediately igniting a raging flame.Gu Yong took Cai Yong with one hand, and rushed out of the room, "The thieves don't want to kill my teacher, Gu Yong is here!"

The handymen drew out their swords loudly, ready to stop Gu Yong.At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, someone asked loudly: "The station in front, why is there water? What are you all doing standing there? Why don't you go in to put out the fire?"

The sound was like a thunderclap, echoing in the night sky.

Cai Yong shook his body and grabbed Gu Yong, "Yuan Tan, don't worry, we are saved, we are saved!"

I also saw some inexplicable people, and some people insisted on comparing "The Villain" with other books. Do you find it interesting?Do you think it's interesting to stir up my anger and scold other authors while you watch the fun from the sidelines?

Since I wrote the book, I have never wanted to argue or quarrel with others.You can't stand it and scold you there, I can bear it, and I don't bother to talk to you.But you have ulterior motives to compare me with others, what do you mean?If you don't like to watch it, just get out of the way, what are you guys thinking about provocative provocations?
