My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..."

"Brothers, work harder, and it will be easy after this corner."

"Big head, take a few people to the back to support the wormwood pole, push the boat out a little, and don't run aground."

"it is good……"

On the long river and dangerous shoal, on the muddy gravel beach, a group of shirtless rough men are pulling the rope with thick hemp ropes on their arms.

At this time, the beginning of autumn has passed, and the weather is getting colder.

The river water is chilly to the bone, especially this early in the morning, even if you wash your face with clean water, you can't help shivering.

On the bow, Wei Cheng looked at the backs of hundreds of trackers in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The men's shoulders are covered with thick calluses. I don't know how many days and nights of blood and sweat they have gone through. For the wages of two copper coins, they use human power to pull a large boat weighing dozens of tons, day after day, year after year.

Under the dark skin is their resolute face, in the cloudy eyes is the unyielding will, the rope left burning and painful scars on the palms and shoulders, and the bare feet that have been soaked and deformed seem to lose consciousness, step by step on the sharp stones .

Scenes like this can be seen everywhere on the long river. They hold the lowest salary and are engaged in the most tortured work.

Wei Cheng sighed deeply. There are too many things that need to be changed in this era, so much that he is a little confused.

Behind him, Xu Chu, who was always protecting Wei Cheng, seemed to be accustomed to this scene.

Looking at the sky, Xu Chu said: "My lord, after crossing the shoal ahead, we will arrive at the ferry in half a day. We drove all night, and you should be tired. You'd better go into the cabin and rest for a while."

Wei Cheng shook his head slightly, looked at Yubai in the distance, and said, "I'm not tired, go to sleep for a while, I want to be alone."

Xu Chujian couldn't persuade him, and stood aside calmly, showing no intention of leaving.

Not far away, several carefully selected attendants glanced at each other, and could only sit helplessly on the deck and fall asleep.

Near noon, the big ship docked at a ferry.

This place is called Wangzhuang Beach, and there were a lot of supply ships in the past. Because of the chaos caused by the Baibo army, officers and soldiers were checking at the ferry.

Wei Cheng and the others got off the boat and didn't attract much attention. They just thought it was a son of a certain family who was traveling. After a routine questioning, he asked for a little favor fee in a different way, and then let them go.

Just as Wei Cheng and the others got on their horses, there was a commotion behind them.

"Why do they just ask a few words, we are going to inspect the goods, do you know who my father is? Ah!"

Is the bloody plot coming?

Wei Cheng looked back curiously, and his brows could not help but tighten.

Because the young man who spoke was pointing his finger at him, so he was obviously suspected of misfortune.

Seeing this, Xu Chu said to Wei Cheng: "My lord, let's go first, there are people like this everywhere, relying on the family's power and not paying attention to others, things that can be solved with a few copper coins are just for the sake of face." If you don’t give it, someone will treat him later.”

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, a rough-looking military man came out of the wooden house beside him.

There was a woman in the soldier's arms, um, woman... The two looked at the troublemaker youth while talking and laughing.

Seeing the soldier, several soldiers who were in charge of the investigation rushed over, pointed at the young man and said something with a displeased face.

While speaking, the soldier glanced at Wei Cheng and the others.

The soldier was stunned, and looked curiously at Wei Cheng and his party. When he saw the Dragon Slaying Saber on Xu Chu's back, he couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Wei Cheng and the others looked at each other, not wanting to cause trouble, so they rushed towards the official road with a whip.

The army man looked at Wei Cheng and others who were leaving, his expression changed, and he said to the soldiers beside him: "Quickly, go and inform Master Li, and say that I have something important to discuss."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his hands in response, pointing at the young man making trouble, he said, "What about that man?"

The military man frowned slightly, and said disdainfully: "It's just a little censor, so what if his father is the Taifu? Follow the rules, if you don't obey, just break your leg and let his family take it Money to redeem people."

The soldiers looked at each other and smiled, and all looked at the young man who made trouble with ill intentions.

at the same time.

Wei Cheng and others have already reached the official road.

"Young master, our whereabouts must have been exposed." Xu Chu said with a smile.

Wei Cheng let out a 'huh', he deliberately asked Xu Chu to reveal the Dragon Slaying Saber, in order to let Dong Zhuo know the news of his going south.

"I believe it won't be long before someone will deliver the news to Dong Zhuo, but this is just the first step, Wei Ping!"

"exist."

Wei Cheng loudly summoned a resolute-looking man. This man was originally a guard of the Wei family. Now he joined the city guard army with Wei Cheng as an instructor. crack rock.

"Go to Luoyang first and send my invitation to Wang Yun." Wei Cheng said.

Wei Ping nodded slightly, took the greeting card from Xu Chu, gave a salute to Wei Cheng, waved his whip, and went first.

After Wei Ping left, Wei Cheng said to Xu Chu again: "Let's find a post station to rest for half a day, and wait for someone to come to invite us."

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chu said, "What if Dong Zhuo remains unmoved?"

Wei Cheng chuckled: "No, the dragon-slaying knife was exposed just now to tell him that I am here, and Wei Ping was sent to send the greeting card. This is the second reminder that he is in dire straits now, and it is impossible to push me away." When it comes to Wang Yun, he will try every means to win me over."

It's not that Wei Cheng is arrogant, but that Wei Cheng has already shown a certain value after repelling the Baibo army. In addition, the two had met in private before, and Dong Zhuo's admiration for Wei Cheng was hardly concealed.

Taking everything into consideration, Wei Cheng felt that once Dong Zhuo knew that he had arrived in Luoyang, he would definitely contact him immediately and try his best to win him over.

And it is.

Just when Wei Cheng and his party were resting at a station outside Luoyang City.

Luoyang City, Taishi Mansion.

"What, Wei Zhongdao went south?"

Dong Zhuo was surprised at first, then he was overjoyed, he said: "Okay, okay, I just won a good general like Lu Bu, and now there is a military advisor coming to the door on his own initiative, this wave is in my hands."

However, the next moment he learned that Wei Cheng had actually sent a greeting card to that old man Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo was stunned.

Li Jue, who was standing by the side, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, Wei Zhongdao was born in the Wei clan of Hedong. I would like to personally invite Wei Zhongdao."

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "It's so good, it's not too late, Zhiran (in the word Li Jue) will definitely bring him back, don't let that old man Wang Yun rob him."

Li Jue quickly handed over his hands and said yes, he was going to invite Wei Cheng sincerely, Dong Zhuo was able to gain his current power without any effort, he always believed that it was due to Wei Cheng's clever calculations that day, first he predicted that He Jin would die, and then let Dong Zhuo Learn from Lu Buwei's control of the government, with great power in his hands, with one person under ten thousand.

Although Li Jue thought he was eloquent and a bit talented, compared with Wei Cheng, he felt that he was nothing at all.
