Chapter 264: Shepherd Dragon Diagram, You Wait!
On the mountain road, more than 100 cavalry were mighty, and under the cluster, a white Confucian robe, the gentle and jade son Wei Zhongdao seemed to be even more outstanding.
"Akihime ......"
Wei Zhong Daoce stepped forward immediately, his eyes were lifelike, and he passed through the figures of the soldiers in the military formation, and finally saw the girl wearing a cyan skirt, the woman he liked, it was a happy event here, but when he saw the young man standing next to Cai Yan, his face suddenly turned black.
"Shepherd Dragon Diagram?"
He couldn't help but grit his teeth a little: "Why is he here?" ”
For Mu Jing, Wei Zhongdao is naturally no stranger at all, once upon a time, he regarded Mu Jing as a big trouble, and when he was a classmate in Taixue, he was always targeted, inciting countless students from the family to reject Mu Jing, all of which were his handiwork.
But after his career, he became a lot calmer, and his means were a lot smarter, but his fear of Mu Jing was three points stronger, and now Mu Jing, as the son of today's Taifu, is a teenager he can't afford to provoke among the few people in Luoyang.
"Wei Zhongdao, you actually came to save the beauty with a hero, you really have a good plan!"
Mu Jing stood in the middle of the military formation, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the gentleman in white who was as gentle as jade, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heart twitched: "If this is placed in the future life, you are definitely a master of love with means!" ”
Heroes save beauty in the future generations, it is just a stalk that is so rotten that it has lost its teeth, but in this era, the folk customs are simple, but there are not so many means 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, his bright eyes glanced at the tense confrontation between the two armies, and hurriedly bowed to Mu Jing beside him, and analyzed: "He has no malicious intentions, and he asks Mu Gongzi's subordinates to show mercy!" ”
"Miss Cai, I want to ask, where did you return to Jingshi?" Mu Jing came back to his senses, glanced at the girl Cai Yan, and asked.
Cai Yan, not to mention her historical status, let's just say that he is the only daughter of Cai Yong, the current Taixue sacrificial wine, and the weight of this identity is not light, if anyone marries her, it is equivalent to getting Cai Yong's influence.
"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 this, in order not to be rude, she still answered seriously.
Some time ago, the soldiers and horses of the foreign domain continued to enter Beijing, and the situation in the capital became more and more turbulent, and his father Cai Yong himself was in the whirlpool, and he couldn't leave at all, but he was always a little uneasy about her daughter, so she asked her to go back to her hometown Chen to avoid it in the name of worshipping her ancestors.
In order not to worry her father, she complied with her father's proposal, but after she returned to Chenliu, she always reassured her father, and after hearing that the situation above the court was not so tense, she did not have her father's edict, so she took the initiative and hurriedly returned from Chenliu, so she did not mobilize the Cai family soldiers to escort her, and there were only five or six servants around her, so she encountered such a situation.
"Then I don't know who else knows the girl's journey from Chen's stay besides the girl?" Mu Jing asked again.
"This?"
Cai Yan's heart moved slightly, and said: "The little woman is good at making claims, and she returned from Chenliu without her father's permission, and only one or two family elders got the move, and no one knows the way!" ”
"Even the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice didn't know, but Brother Wei came in such a timely manner, could it be that Miss Cai sent someone to report to Brother Wei alone?"
"How is that possible!" Cai Yan hurriedly shook her head, although Wei Zhongdao was born under Cai Yong, and their relationship was quite good, but this was a matter related to the life of her daughter's family, she couldn't be sloppy at all: "Please also ask the shepherd to be cautious!" ”
"That's weird!"
Mu Jing said meaningfully: "Miss Cai knows that Luoyang City is the imperial capital, with a radius of 100 miles, but there are robbers, they will be swept away by strong soldiers, and none of them will be spared, but the girl will meet on the way back, and there are still a few dead soldiers, and the girl should also know that the dead soldiers are not owned by ordinary robbers!" ”
"Maybe it's just a coincidence!" Cai Yan's beautiful eyes flashed, swept over the corpses of the robbers on the ground, and frowned slightly.
"That's a coincidence!"
"Mu Gongzi must have thought too much, the elder brother of the Wei family has loved and cared for the little woman for many years, and he is definitely not a villain!"
Cai Yan herself is a smart and talented woman, the robbers she encountered before, she was shocked, and she couldn't turn her mind a little, but now when she heard Mu Jing say this, her face under the light veil suddenly became a little suspicious, but she was kind by nature, and she didn't want to think of people worse, so she said reluctantly.
"Maybe it's really me thinking too much!"
Mu Jing smiled, there are some things that don't need to be clarified, Cai Yan is not stupid, he will always think of it, and it is not beautiful to say too much.
He waved his hand: "Huo Shao, get out of the way, let Brother Wei come in!" ”
"No!"
Huo Shao waved his hand and ordered the generals to get out of the way, but to maintain the state of the military formation.
Wei Zhongdao rode in from outside, jumped off the horse, walked straight up, looked at Cai Yan with a concerned gaze, and said worriedly: "Zhaoji, are you okay?" ”
"Thank you senior brother for your concern, fortunately rescued by the shepherd, Yan is fine!"
Cai Yan curled her delicate body and bowed down, but looking at Wei Zhongdao's face, Mu Jing, who couldn't help but think of it, said: "How did Senior Brother know that Yan was in danger here? ”
"Chen Liu's elders sent a letter, saying that Zhao Ji had returned to Luoyang, and the teacher couldn't sleep well, so he sent me to greet him!"
Wei Zhongdao panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I heard at the ferry in front of me that there have been bandits on the mountain roads around Luoyang recently, so I came along the road with my family guards!" ”
His analysis is full of errors and omissions, and Cai Yan can't be convinced, but Cai Yan is a smart person and won't ask anything in front of Mu Jing's face.
"Brother Mu, thank you for saving Zhao Ji!" Wei Zhongdao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed his hand to Mu Jing, how sincere he wanted to be, but the light of resentment in the corner of his eyes was not a little hidden from Mu Jing.
"The guard supervisor is leading the official position of the imperial court, and he is not on an errand in the seal prison, and he has come all the way to come, but he really cares about Miss Cai!"
Mu Jing said with a smile.
"Brother Mu said with a smile, Zhongdao has been at home for the past two days, so he has to be ordered by the teacher to greet the junior sister!"
Wei Zhongdao's fists clenched, his teeth itching with hatred.
These days, as the son-in-law of the Wei family, the talented son of the honorary Beijing master, and the official office of the Seal Supervision Office, Wei Zhongdao can be described as a proud spring breeze.
At the beginning, He Jin mutinied into the palace, controlled the palace, and imprisoned the Son of Heaven, and Mu Jing was removed from all official positions in this turmoil, including his official position as the seal supervisor, and Xi Zhicai was therefore recommended as the seal supervisor to replace Mu Jing's position.
As the object of the divided forces, in addition to the new prison order of Xi Zhicai, the officials below have also been cleaned up, and Wei Zhongdao also represents the strength of the wealthy family, and was recommended to take up the position of the seal supervisor.
The Seal Supervisor Yamen is a new Yamen, and the Supervisor is no more than an official position of 600 stones, while the Seal Supervisor is an adjutant with a smaller official position, but only an official position of 400 stones.
But the printing supervisor represents the emergence of movable type printing.
This is the painstaking effort of the establishment of Mujing, and it is a landmark official office that promotes the progress of the culture of the times.
Perhaps the printing supervisor was insignificant in the recent series of turmoil in the imperial court, but it became more and more noble among the scholars, and the paper produced by the printing supervisor and the books printed by the printing supervisor were all popular in Shilin.
After Xi Zhicai saw through the matter of Mu Jing's Tibetan soldiers in the north, he was trapped in the Hou Mansion by Mu Jing and automatically resigned, and Wei Zhongdao was naturally promoted to the seal construction order.
Luoyang was in turmoil, but the chaos did not affect the various official offices, the outside fought the outside, and the inside did the things inside, except for the panic when Mushan led the army into Beijing for a while, and soon operated as usual.
As the supervisor of the seal superintendent, backed by the first family in Hedong, the overall situation of the court did not affect Wei Zhongdao's life, and his official position did not change, and he became even more famous among the scholars.
But in front of Mu Jing, he still doesn't have the ability to be tough, and after his career, he is much more stable, there is not much competition of will, and his posture is very low.
"Zhao Ji this encounter, Brother Duo Lao rescued, in the future, Zhongdao should set up a banquet to arrive, the teacher is anxious Zhao Ji, so he will escort Zhao Ji back to Luoyang first, and say goodbye!" 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 to block the way: "Miss Cai was saved by me, I should be responsible for it to the end, and I won't work Brother Wei, otherwise I will have no shame to sacrifice wine to Cai in the future, Brother Wei, please go back!" ”
"Brother Shepherd, don't go too far!"
"Brother Wei, if I were you, I would stay and deal with these bandits, otherwise if they whispered a few words for me to hear, everyone would not be able to live on face!" Mu Jing said indifferently to a few dead soldiers and some bandits on the ground.
"You ......" Wei Zhongdao's pupils changed color slightly, he naturally knew the identities of those dead soldiers, if they were exposed, it would be over.
"Miss Cai, please get in the carriage, and I will personally escort you back to Luoyang, and ensure that there will be no obstacles along the way!" Mu Jing bowed down and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.
"Senior brother, since there is an escort from the prince of Minghou, Yan should be fine, and Yan will return to Luoyang first!"
Cai Yan judged the situation for a moment, she knew that she couldn't let this kind of confrontation continue, Wei Zhongdao's more than 100 cavalry against Mu Jing's personal guards, she couldn't see the chance of winning, so she got into the carriage and complied with Mu Jing's request.
"Huo Shao opens the way, those who stand in my way will be killed!"
"No!"
The guard camp opened the way, and the murderous atmosphere was so strong that the soldiers of the Wei family did not dare to stop it at all, so they could only watch the two carriages go away.
"Mu Longtu, you dare to hurt me in a big way, you wait, I will make you pay!"
Wei Zhongdao stood in place, his eyes were gloomy as ice water, looking coldly at their departing backs, but he didn't dare to move, his fists were dead, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were uneven.
When he succeeded to the seal superintendent, he was proud and asked the elders of the family to go to the Cai family to propose marriage, but Cai Yong estimated that the situation in the current dynasty was delayed, so there was today's big drama.
His plan was good.
Arrange for thieves to intercept the road halfway, save the beauty heroically, and then take her chastity in the chaos, this incident is related to the reputation of her daughter's family, and naturally it will not be publicized, and Cai Yong can only marry his daughter to him, let him get what he wants, and he can also win the heart of a beauty, killing two birds with one stone.
But who would have thought of killing a Mujing.
"Childe, all the dead soldiers of our family are dead, and they shouldn't have leaked out!" A henchman stepped forward to report and asked, "What about these bandits!" ”
"Kill them all, not one left!"
Wei Zhongdao ordered coldly, then turned over and got on his horse and chased in the direction of Mu Jing.
