Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265 Dragon Shepherd Picture, You Wait!

On the mountain road, more than a hundred cavalrymen were in a mighty momentum. Surrounded by them, wearing a white Confucian robe, the gentle and jade-like son Wei Zhongdao appeared even more graceful and outstanding.

"Zhao Ji..."

Wei Zhongdao stepped forward immediately, his eyes vivid, passing through the figures of soldiers in the army formation, and finally saw the girl in the blue skirt, the woman he liked, it was a happy event here, but when he saw the girl standing The young man beside Cai Yan's face suddenly turned black as coal.

"Picture of Shepherd Dragon?"

He couldn't help gnashing his teeth: "Why is he here?"

Wei Zhongdao is no stranger to Mujing. Once upon a time, he regarded Mujing as a serious threat to his confidant. When he was a student at the Imperial Academy, he targeted him all the time, inciting countless students from aristocratic families to reject Mujing. His pen.

But after leaving his official career, he became much calmer and more clever in his methods, but he was more afraid of Mu Jing. Today, Mu Jing, as the son of the current Taifu, is even more of a minority in Luoyang. Among them was a boy he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Wei Zhongdao, a hero is here to save the beauty, you really have a good plan!"

Standing in the army formation, Mu Jing squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the gentle and jade-clothed young man, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and his heart twitched: "If this is placed in future generations, you will definitely be a worthy man." A master of love with tricks!"

In the later generations, the hero saving the beauty is just a rotten stalk, but in this era, the folk customs are simple and there are not so many ways to pick up girls. Wei Zhongdao is self-taught.

"Master Mu, Senior Brother Wei should have come to pick me up!"

Cai Yan raised his head, glanced at the tense confrontation between the two armies with bright eyes, quickly bowed to Mu Jing beside him, and explained: "He has no malicious intentions, please be merciful, Mr. Mu!"

"Miss Cai, I want to ask, where did you return to the capital?" Mu Jing came back to his senses, squinted at the young girl Cai Yan, and asked.

Cai Yan, let’s not talk about her historical status, just say one thing, he is the only daughter of Cai Yong, who is now the only daughter of Taixue Jijiu. force.

"The little girl went home to worship her ancestors, and she just returned from Chenliu!"

When Cai Yan heard this, although she was a little puzzled why Mu Jing asked such a question, she still answered in a serious manner in order not to lose her manners.

Some time ago, foreign soldiers and horses kept entering the capital, and the situation in the capital became more and more turbulent. His father, Cai Yong, was in a vortex and couldn't leave at all. However, he was always worried about her daughter, so he asked her to worship her ancestors. In the name of Chen Liu, he went back to his hometown to avoid it.

In order not to worry her father, she followed his father's suggestion, but after she returned to Chenliu, she was always at ease with her father, and when she heard that the situation in the court was not so tense, she did not want her father's edict, so she made her own proposal and never Chen Liu returned in a hurry, so he didn't mobilize Cai's soldiers to escort him. There were only five or six servants around him, so he encountered such a situation.

"Then, besides the girl, who else knows the itinerary of the girl's return from Chenliu?" Mu Jing asked again.

"this?"

Cai Yan's heart moved slightly, and he said: "The little girl is good at making claims. She returned from Chenliu without her father's permission, and only one or two family elders knew about her movements, and no one knows the way!"

"Even Master Jijiu didn't know, but Brother Wei came so timely. Could it be that Miss Cai sent someone to report to Brother Wei by herself?"

"How is it possible!" Cai Yan quickly shook her head, although Wei Zhongdao was born under Cai Yong's family, and they have a good relationship, but this matter is related to the life of her daughter's family, she can't be sloppy at all: "Please be careful, Mr. Mu!"

"That's weird!"

Mu Jing said meaningfully: "Miss Cai, do you know that Luoyang City is the capital of the empire, with a radius of hundreds of miles, but there are robbers, they will be wiped out by strong soldiers, and no one is spared, but the girl ran into them on the way home. There are a few dead men, and the girl should know that dead men are not owned by ordinary robbers!"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence!" Cai Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she frowned slightly as she scanned the bodies of the robbers on the ground.

"What a coincidence!"

"Young Master Mu must be thinking too much. The brother of the Wei family has loved and loved the little girl for many years. He is definitely not a villain!"

Cai Yan herself is an intelligent and talented woman. The robbers she encountered before were still in shock, so she couldn't change her mind. Now that she heard what Mu Jing said, her face under the veil suddenly became a little suspicious, but she is kind in nature. Willing to think of people worse, said with some reluctance.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

Mu Jing smiled, there are some things that don't need to be pointed out, Cai Yan is not stupid, she will always think of it, and talking too much will make it unbeautiful.

He waved his hand: "Huo Shao, get out of the way, let Brother Wei come in!"

"promise!"

Huo Shao waved his hand and ordered the generals to get out of the way, but to maintain the state of the army.

Wei Zhongdao rode in from the outside, jumped off the horse, and walked straight up, looked at Cai Yan with concern, and said worriedly: "Zhaoji, are you all right?"

"Thank you, brother, for your concern. Fortunately, Young Master Mu came to the rescue, and Yan is fine!"

Cai Yan's delicate body bowed to salute, but looking at Wei Zhongdao's face, she couldn't help but think of Mu Jing saying: "How did senior brother know that Yan was in danger here?"

"Chen Liu's elder wrote a letter, saying that Zhaoji has returned to Luoyang, and the teacher can't sleep or eat, so he sent me to welcome her!"

Wei Zhongdao panicked, and hurriedly said: "I heard at the ferry ahead that bandits appeared on the mountain roads around Luoyang recently, so I came along the road with my family's guards!"

His analysis is full of mistakes and omissions, and Cai Yan cannot be convinced, but Cai Yan is a smart person, and he will not ask more questions in front of Mu Jing.

"Brother Mu, thank you for saving Zhao Ji!" Wei Zhongdao heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and handed over to Mu Jing, as sincere as he wanted, but the resentment in the corner of his eyes was not hidden at all. Live in Mujing.

"The Guardian Commander is in charge of the imperial court. He is not on duty at the Printing Supervisor. He has traveled all the way here. He really cares about Miss Cai!"

Mujing said with a smile.

"Brother Mu is joking, Zhongdao has been resting at home for the past two days, so he was ordered by the teacher to welcome his junior sister!"

Wei Zhongdao clenched his fists, his teeth itching with hatred.

These days, as the heir of the Wei family, a talented scholar with a reputation in the capital, and still in control of the official office of the Yinjian Supervisor, Wei Zhongdao can be said to be proud of his spring breeze.

At the beginning, He Jinbing rebelled into the palace, controlled the palace, and imprisoned the emperor, but Mu Jing was dismissed from all his official positions during this turmoil, including his official position of making seals and supervising orders, so Xi Zhicai was recommended as the founder Yinjianling, replacing Mujing's position.

As the target of the division of power, the Yinjianjian was not only Xi Zhicai's new supervision order, but the officials below also cleaned it up. Wei Zhongdao also represented the strength of a wealthy family and was recommended out of his official career to serve as the Chancellor of Yinzai. Location.

The yamen of Zaoyinjian is a new yamen, and the supervisor is only an official position with a rank and salary of [-] shi, while the adjutant of Zaoyinjian Cheng is only an official position of [-] shi.

But the printing house represents the emergence of movable type printing.

This is the painstaking effort of the establishment of Mujing, and it is an iconic government office that promotes the advancement of the culture of the times.

Maybe the Yinjian is insignificant in the recent series of turmoil in the imperial court, but its status among scholars has become more and more noble. The paper produced by the Yinjian and the books printed by the Yinjian are all popular among scholars. exist.

After Xi Zhicai found out about Mujing's Tibetan soldiers in Beimang, he was trapped by Mujing in the Marquis Mansion, and he was automatically dismissed, while Wei Zhongdao was promoted to make seals and Jianling in a logical manner. .

Luoyang was in great chaos, but the chaos did not reach the various government offices. The outside attacked the outside and the inside did the inside. Except for the panic for a while when Mu Shan led the army into the capital, these government offices soon operated as usual.

As the supervisor of the Yinjian, backed by the No. [-] family in Hedong, Wei Zhongdao's life has not been affected by the overall situation of the court, and his official position has not changed, and he has become famous among scholars.

But in front of Mujing, he still didn't have the ability to be tough. After he left his official career, he was much more stable, without too many emotional disputes, and his attitude was very low.

"When Zhao Ji met, Brother Duolao rescued her. In the future, when Zhongdao will host a banquet, the teacher is anxious for Zhao Ji, so I will escort Zhao Ji back to Luoyang first, and leave here!" Wei Zhongdao wanted to pull Cai Yan away.

"Brother Wei's words are different!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and the soldiers on the left and right stepped forward, blocking the way: "I saved Miss Cai, and I will be responsible to the end, so I won't bother Brother Wei, otherwise, one day, I will have no face to offer wine to Cai, Brother Wei." Please go back!"

"Brother Mu, don't go too far!"

"Brother Wei, if I were you, I would stay and deal with these bandits, otherwise if I overheard their whispers, everyone would lose face!" Mu Jing turned to the few people on the ground. The dead men and some bandits said calmly.

"You..." Wei Zhongdao's pupils changed color slightly, he naturally knew the identities of those dead men, if they were exposed, it would be over.

"Miss Cai, please get in the carriage, I will personally escort you back to Luoyang, and make sure the journey is unimpeded!" Mu Jing bowed and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"Senior brother, since the prince of the Marquis of Ming is escorting you, Yan will be fine, and Yan will return to Luoyang first!"

Cai Yan judged the situation, she knew that this kind of confrontation could not be allowed to continue, Wei Zhongdao's more than [-] cavalry faced Mu Jing's personal guards, she could not see the chance of winning, so she stepped into the carriage and complied with Mu Jing's request.

"Huo Shao leads the way, anyone who stands in my way will be killed!"

"promise!"

The personal guard battalion opened the way, full of murderous intent, the soldiers of Wei's family did not dare to stop them at all, they could only watch the two carriages drive away.

"Mulongtu, you dare to ruin my event, just wait, I will make you pay the price!"

Wei Zhongdao stood where he was, his eyes were as gloomy as ice water, he watched their leaving backs coldly, but he didn't dare to move, his fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were uneven.

When he took over as the supervisor of making seals, he was so proud that he sent the elders of the family to the Cai family to propose marriage, but Cai Yong at that time estimated that the situation in the dynasty delayed it, so today's big drama came about.

He has a good plan.

Arranging bandits to intercept the road halfway, to save the beauty by himself, and then take her chastity in the chaos. When this happens, it is related to the reputation of his daughter's family, so naturally he will not publicize it. At that time, Cai Yong can only marry his daughter to him, so that he can be rewarded As he wished, he could still win the heart of a beauty, killing two birds with one stone.

But who would have thought that a Mujing would come out.

"My lord, all the dead men in our family are dead, so it shouldn't have been leaked!" A confidant cavalry stepped forward to report, and then asked, "How to deal with these bandits!"

"Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

Wei Zhongdao gave the order coldly, then got on his horse and chased in the direction of Mujing.
