In the following period, the wind and waves in Chang'an City were calm.

Except for the occasional few jumping clowns who are instigating the Son of Heaven as demons, there is nothing big about it. If you have to talk about one or two things, it is estimated that it is the fall of Sikong Huangwan and the beheading of the market three days later.

Following the last Li Ao incident, Li Ao was sent to the Tingwei Mansion for trial.

During this period, Li Ao couldn't stand the punishment, so he could only follow the confession prepared by Qiu Lian and confess that the mastermind behind the scenes was Huang Wan, the official of the dynasty.

As soon as the matter was reported, the government and the opposition were shaken.

Huang Wan, who said that he was sick at home, could not escape this catastrophe after all, and was finally dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner. The only thing to be thankful for is that the lives of the old and young families were recovered.

As for the vacant position, at the suggestion of Lu Bu, it was topped by Ding Palace.

Since joining Lu Bu, Ding Gong can be said to have made a lot of efforts. Whether it is to help Lu Bu ascend to the position of the Great Sima, or to play the marriage, all aspects are indispensable to the credit of Ding Palace.

There should be rewards for merit, and punishments for demerits.

Generally, the means of winning people's hearts are all empty for an old fox like Ding Gong, so it is better to give him sweetness directly.

Lu Bu, who understands this, doesn't expect Ding Gong to be loyal, after all, this kind of utilitarian figure, as long as there are interests, he will not easily change his banner.

As for the position of Da Si Nong, it naturally fell to Yan Li's head.

As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields.

Yan Li is also Lu Bu's eldest brother, and he doesn't have a decent official position, not to mention that Yan Li has been in the court for many years, and there must still be business methods.

When he came back from the morning court, Lu Bu's carriage had just stopped at the door of the mansion, and the sky began to rain lightly.

When Lu Bu entered the house, he wanted to discuss something with Xi Ce, but he found that Xi Ce had gone out and had not yet returned.

"Did you bring an umbrella, sir?" Lu Bu looked up at the sky like a beaded curtain and asked the steward of the house.

The steward shook his head very clearly, because he happened to see it when he went out.

Lu Bu held up an umbrella and went out of the house.

Xice went to meet Cui Xu today, and there is no need to expose this dark chess yet, so the two sides should naturally be cautious when they meet.

On the way back, it rained without warning, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

I didn't want to be a soup chicken, so I had to find an eaves to hide from the rain, and by the way, I dusted off the mud and dust that splashed on my body.

"Drama boy, it's you!"

Under the eaves, a girl's voice with surprise sounded.

Xi Ce was stunned when he heard this, and he was stunned in place, with waves in the depths of his eyes, and even his body trembled slightly. This voice has haunted him countless times, and it has also pierced his heart with blood countless times.

Forced to settle down, he seemed to look back in disbelief, the girl standing behind him, wearing a plain white Luo skirt, as slim as when he first met, quiet and elegant. The only difference from the beginning is that the color in his eyes has been replaced by joy that cannot be hidden.

Even though he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he wore his hair in a bun peculiar to women.

It's her.

It's her!

I had fantasized about goodbye countless times, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

There are thousands of emotions in my heart, as if I have a thousand words to say, but I don't seem to be able to say a word, all of them are stuck in my throat.

At that moment, it was as if a particularly long century had passed.

"Hello, Mrs. Wei."

After all, the joke opened his mouth, and his slightly thin face tried to smile as much as possible. Although this smile seems to outsiders to be so blunt.

Cai Yan was stunned, and stopped his steps to step forward, full of joy, and suddenly fell short, and his excited expression gradually dimmed, and then returned to the same as before.

The words of the joke were like a basin of cold water, pouring her heart cold, from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.

She blessed her body and returned the salute to Xi Ce.

Speechless.

After being silent for a long time, Xice interrupted the silence in the air and asked calmly: "How long have you been in Chang'an?" ”

"It's been almost two or three months."

Cai Yan replied softly, knowing that her father was in prison, as a daughter, she wanted to come to the rescue. However, in the past few months, Fujun Weining (Zhongdao) has been working everywhere, accommodating everywhere, but to no avail.

The officials who had been bribed shook their heads when they learned that they were trying to save Cai Yong. Cai Yong cried bitterly for the national thief Dong Zhuo, even though the old man was extremely famous, they were also helpless.

They told Wei Ning that if they wanted to save Cai Yong, maybe only one person could do it.

That is today's Great Sima, Lu Bu.

As long as Lu Buken nods, this matter is not too difficult to do.

Cai Yan didn't want to go over to ask Lu Bu, but the number of people who went to visit Lu Mansion every day was countless, and even if they waited every day, they might not be able to see each other.

Moreover, the father's matter is imminent.

She has less than three days left.

"Where's your brother?" Xi Ce asked, if it weren't for the stumbling of this mean and bitter brother at the beginning, maybe he and Cai Yan would have tied the knot together.

Hearing this, Cai Yan shook his head slightly with a sigh.

After his father was killed, his brother fled to Jianghuai with his family for fear of being affected, and has not been heard from since.

Poor Cai Yong I was famous, and he actually raised such a thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog.

Xi Ce couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Okay, let's not talk about the concubine."

As the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, Cai Yan sorted out his mood and asked Xiang Xice in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "What about you, have you already entered the office?" ”

"Reluctantly, mixed with a military priest's sacrificial wine." The joke was a little indifferent.

When Cai Yan heard the joke, he thought he wanted to give up on himself, so he comforted him intimately: "Don't be discouraged, the military priest's sacrificial wine is a little worse, but with the knowledge of the king, there will always be a day to come out." ”

Cai Yan has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and after marrying to Hedong, she is not out of the door, so she naturally does not know what kind of huge power the thin young man standing in front of her has.

Tusely just smiled, then turned his head to look at the dark, foggy sky.

The rain in the sky, which seemed to have no intention of stopping, sprinkled on the bluestone slabs under the eaves, splashing countless tiny droplets, popping, clicking.

"By the way, you...... Are you married? After hesitating for a while, Cai Yan asked out loud. Somehow, when she asked this sentence, there was a very strong apprehension in her heart.

"It's coming, the eighteenth of next month." The joke didn't look back.

Cai Yan had a hint of gloom in his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Bride, it must be very beautiful!" ”

Laughing at Cai Yan's joke with his back, if he can't marry someone he likes, what is the difference between beauty and ugliness?

The rain gradually subsided.

"So you're here, sir!"

Lu Bu, who came with an umbrella, saw the trick of hiding from the rain under the eaves and walked over quickly.

Without waiting for the drama to reply, Cai Yan asked curiously first: "Who is this ......?"

Lu Bu glanced at Cai Yan sideways, there was no impression in his memory, and he had a naughty heart in his heart, and said with a smile: "I, I'm Mr.'s guard!" ”

Xi Ce was about to explain, but Lu Bu grabbed his hand, said goodbye to Cai Yan briefly, and then whispered to Xi Ce: "Sir, I encountered a tricky matter, and I wanted to discuss it with you." ”

When Xi Ce heard this, he just glanced back at Cai Yan, then stopped lingering and left with Lu Bu.

At this time, an elegant young man in a brocade suit came with an umbrella.

Whether it is his appearance or dress, he has the temperament of a beautiful son, and has attracted the admiration of many girls along the way.

However, in his eyes, there was only the woman in front of him.

"Zhao Ji, just now, Ding Sikong has already promised me, saying that he is willing to help. With his help to speak, I think my father-in-law will be released from prison soon......"

Wei Ning said vigorously, in the past, his wife would definitely say diligent words such as her husband's hard work, but today, his wife's eyes seemed to be in a trance.

He looked in the direction Cai Yan was looking at, and in the drizzle, two figures with distinct heights came into view.

Wei Ning couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, how could that tall guy be so similar to the Wen Hou who was passed down in the mouths of the people!

Could it be that this person is Lu Bu?

Impossible.

When the dynasty is a great Sima, how can he hold an umbrella for people?

Although he rejected the idea in his heart, Wei Ning was still a little curious, and asked his wife next to him: "Who is he?" ”

Cai Yan's eyes lingered, and now he said goodbye, and he was afraid that there would be no day to meet.

She thought that Wei Ning was asking about a joke, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her tone, so she only said: An old man.
