The sun sets, and the remnant sun is red like fire.

Li Li returned to the house exhausted, looking tired.

All day today, he didn't rest for a moment.

Rushing to Cai's mansion in the morning, Cai Yong's words made Li Li both happy and disappointed, and his heart was heavy.

In the afternoon, he went to the Taishi Mansion to thank Dong Zhuo in person, and listened to Dong Zhuo's nagging for most of the day, and his legs were numb when he stood up, and Zuihou had to be complimented with a thousand thanks before he could get out.

After leaving the Taishi Mansion, Li Li went to Chang'an Daying again and visited Xu Rong's headquarters stationed in Gyeonggi.

It's just that he didn't see Xu Rong himself, it's not that Xu Rong Zhonglang will deliberately put up a show, but that Xu Rong is not in the barracks.

Then Li Li talked to Fan Chou and Fan Yong's uncle and nephew for an hour, and the ultimate goal was to take Fan Yong away and go to Wuwei County with him.

Fan Chou immediately hesitated, as if he didn't want his nephew Fan Yong to follow Li Li to stir up the troubled waters of Liangzhou.

However, Fan Yong agreed with all his mouths, and was eager to go to Liangzhou with Li Li, and was willing to demote himself to his official position and be Li Li's deputy.

Seeing that his nephew had already agreed to Li Li, Fan Chou was helpless about it.

Because he deeply knows that his nephew Fan Yong is very good in all aspects, with extraordinary talent and outstanding strength, and he may be able to become a top fighter like Lu Bu in a few years.

However, in Fan Chou's eyes, his nephew Fan Yong has a fatal flaw. That is, he obeyed Li Li when he was a child, and he also worshiped Li Li as a brother, and his respect for Li Li was better than that of his uncle; Maybe one day, Li Li sold him, and he still counted the money for others.

Fortunately, Fan Chou also knows that Li Li's character is not bad, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is definitely the best among his nephew's generation.

In addition, Li Li was brave and good at fighting when he first entered the battlefield, defeated Zhu Jun's tens of thousands of troops in a battle, and captured the veteran Zhu Jun alive. Such achievements have long been spread throughout the entire Xiliang Army, and it can be said that the reputation has risen, and the future is terrifying.

Now Li Li is even more amazing, he is too high at a young age, and he also holds the title of Captain of Huqiang, and he has climbed to the head of himself and other veteran generals in the blink of an eye.

However, when Fan Chou and other generals knew that Li Li was going to Wuwei County, Liangzhou to take office, their hearts suddenly calmed down, and they were secretly worried about Li Li. After all, Li Li is also a child who grew up by himself and others, and it would be a pity if it was folded in the hands of Han Sui, Ma Teng and a bunch of miscellaneous people.

The most important thing is that in the past two months, Li Li has often corresponded with the generals in the army, with humble words, courtesy and thoughtfulness, and his own ability is also very strong; Therefore, it has won the favor of many veteran generals such as Fan Chou and Guo Yan.

Fan Chou had no choice but to agree that Fan Yong would follow Li Litong to Wuwei County, but he needed to make some preparations, and he couldn't bring too many soldiers and horses. Otherwise, when Xu Rong returned to the camp, he found that there were thousands of soldiers and horses missing, and I am afraid that he would not be able to explain to Dong Taishi.

Fan Chou was not afraid of offending Xu Rong, but considering that the border of Liangzhou has always been dominated by war horses, the city is short, and it is useless to go on foot; Coincidentally, Fan Chou's account had many foot soldiers and few war horses, so the war horses that could be provided to Fan Yong were very limited.

Fan Chou's performance was expected by Li Li as early as possible, and it was not surprising.

Because, almost all the Xiliang generals of the same generation as Fan Chou have a common problem, that is, they are extremely suspicious, attach great importance to the military power in their hands, and always retain three points of caution against others.

This is true of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others, as are Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and Niu Fu, and even more so Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Western Liang Army.

When things really gather like and people are grouped, what kind of commander there is, what kind of general there will be.

However, Fan Chou and other generals have another very good temperament, that is, they are convinced of the strong. Others respect him for three points, he respects others for one zhang, grievances and grievances are clear, happy and hateful, they are all bloody men with the most affection and sex.

After finalizing Fan Yong's affairs, Li Li's one-day trip finally came to an end, and he dragged his tired footsteps back to the mansion.

It's hard to get started. Li Li is just starting out now, but fortunately, he has a group of veteran generals to help him, and Li Dao's face to open the way in front. Therefore, he is lucky, at least there are a few thousand elite soldiers, and the issue of soldiers and horses does not need to be considered for the time being.

As for strategic materials such as food, ordnance, and war horses, as long as the male soldiers are in hand, they can always occupy a place on the border of Liangzhou; Once you have a place to stay, everything will be there.

··················

In the dead of night, Li Li had no intention of sleeping, and sat alone by the lotus pond with a jar of fine wine, looking at the starry sky, and drinking the old wine from Caifu.

There is no moon tonight, and towards the end of the month, the reserved moon will hide until the second half of the night.

Haoyue is like a beauty, when she first appears, she is pure and elegant, and before the sun sets, she can't wait to show her face, showing off her not plump figure.

When people gradually got used to her presence, she became reserved, and at the end of the month, she waited until the second half of the night to come out again, no one appreciated her, she showed her figure alone, and enjoyed herself.

This morning, when Cai Yong Yanming handed over Cai Yan to Li Li, Cai Yan hid and did not show up until Li Li left Cai's mansion, and she did not come out to see him off.

Cai Yan's move made Li Li go up and down all day, and he was quite entangled in his heart.

It is said that a girl's feelings are always poetry, and who knows how sentimental a man's feelings are.

In the moonless night sky, the stars are more and more dazzling and twinkling, blinking, as if instigating some people to do things that they dare not do during the day.

Li Li paced back and forth in the gazebo, thinking about Cai Yan's thoughts repeatedly.

If Cai Yan is unwilling to follow him, I'm afraid Cai Yong will not say it in front of him.

But if she wanted to, then why would she hide and refuse to show up.

are all women who have been married once, so why be so reserved and hypocritical?

Li Li doesn't have a virgin complex, but it would be great if he could find the original woman he liked.

He originally didn't care about Cai Yan's widowhood, he just liked it purely and had no other thoughts.

But Cai Yan's dodging during the day made him think wildly, remembering her widowhood, and he couldn't help but feel irritable.

Widow, it is obviously not appropriate to marry back and be the main house, if you are in a high position in the future, it will not make people laugh if you have a widow and a wife.

Headache, damn feudal etiquette, good haode normal people can be driven crazy by you!

Unable to think of a clue, Li Li poured more than a dozen sips of wine on his face, and drank half of the jar of wine in one go.

"Smack!"

Casually smashed the wine jar, Li Li went straight into the backyard stable, took out his yellow horse, went out of the mansion, and galloped away.

"Evil, you don't have to come along, I'll go out for a trip, I'll be back later, you go back and rest!"

While galloping, Li Li didn't need to look back to know that Dian Wei was following him, so he shouted loudly, and galloped straight to Cai's mansion.

"Don't let me go? A certain is the captain of the pro-soldiers, and he should always be around the lord, how can he not follow? ”

Dian Wei, who was slowly riding his horse, heard Li Li's shout, and thought slightly in his heart, or rode his horse to follow Li Li.

It's just that he is far away from Li Li, but he always keeps Li Li in his sight.

Rushing to the gate of Cai's mansion, Li Li found that Cai's mansion had already closed its doors, and there was silence in the compound.

"Why do you sleep so early on a hot day?"

Li Li was discouraged in his heart, and couldn't help but complain.

It's just that when he looked up at the wall of Cai's courtyard, he suddenly found that the moon had come out, and he knew that it was already the third watch in the middle of the night.

"Hey, hey, hey! If the main door is not opened, then I will enter over the wall and knock on the widow's door in the middle of the night for you, which must be very interesting! ”

Seeing that the surrounding night is silent, the lonely sound of insects chirping is clearly audible under the moonlit night. Li Li couldn't help but have a bad idea, preparing to give Cai Yan an unexpected surprise; Uh, no, it's supposed to be a fright!

During the day, she put a position and avoided it, so that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and now she should scare her. Let her not live in peace, always thinking about herself, and unable to sleep all night.

Acacia, acacia, how can a person be called acacia if he is cranky, and he has to think about both men and women together, and he is lovesick in pairs.

The courtyard wall, which is more than a zhang high, does not pose an obstacle to Li Li at all, and he jumps lightly from the horse's back, and can jump over the wall with one turn.

In the silent night, the sound of insects chirping is the main theme in the compound.

"Bang, Bang, Bang!"

A low knock on the door shattered the silence around the east wing of the Cai Mansion.

The sound of the thick wooden door was very dull, not loud, and the sound was confined to a range of more than a dozen paces.

"Who's out there?"

Just knocked lightly on the door, and the people in the house immediately asked in surprise.

Suddenly, Li Li immediately regretted the impulsive action he made in his brain. It turns out that Cai Yan didn't fall asleep tonight!
