Chapter 219 Those who know me say I am worried

At daybreak, Cheng Li as the general and Chunyu Dao as the deputy, led two hundred giant magicians to protect Mother Xu, Pu and Ma on the road.

Dong Bi took them to the entrance of the village.

When parting, there was naturally another reminder...Mother Xu took Xu Shu and Shi Tao's hands, repeating the words she had said countless times the night before.The content is nothing more than asking them to study hard, study hard, and don't worry about her life.

Xu Shu and Shi Tao assured again and again that they would not disappoint Mother Xu.

Xu's mother just got into the car, and before leaving, she said to Dong Pi: "Xiping, I entrust these two children to you."

Dong Bi also reassured again and again: "Don't worry, Auntie, my nephew will definitely find a good future for them."

Only then did Xu's mother feel relieved and boarded the car.

Watching the car drive away, Dong Bi suddenly felt homesick.Four years have passed in a blink of an eye, although grandma always said that she was in good health every time she sent someone to deliver a letter.But every time he thinks about it, Dong Bi always feels an inexplicable sense of guilt.

If you have a chance, you must go home and have a look.

Dong Bi secretly made a decision, turned around and prepared to go back.

Xu Shu didn't want to leave, and stood at the entrance of the village, staring blankly at the direction the car was leaving, and suddenly burst into tears.

Thinking about it, Xu Shu has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. In the past 18 years, even during the difficult years of the Taiping Dao riots, he has not parted from his mother.But I didn't expect... I went to study here, Jingzhou and Zhangye are thousands of miles apart, I don't know how long it will take to see my mother again.Thinking of these, Xu Shu felt colic in his heart.

Shi Tao comforted him softly, but Xu Shu still stood where he was.

Dong Bi went over and patted Xu Shu on the shoulder, "The thread in the loving mother's hand, and the clothes on the wanderer's body. Before leaving, the seams are tightly packed, and I am afraid that I will return later. Whoever says that the heart of an inch of grass will be rewarded with three springs... Yuan Zhi, my aunt treats you You have high hopes, you can only live up to your aunt's wishes if you study hard and achieve something in the future. Now that you are sad, it is better to think about how to work hard in the future."

Xu Shu's heart trembled, and he looked up at Dong Pi.

"Brother's words today, Yuan Zhi will keep in mind."

Just as he was about to go back to gather his men and horses and prepare to set off, there was a rush of hoofbeats in the distance.

Pu Yuan hurriedly urged his horse to gallop, and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord..."

Dong Bi was stunned, and when Pu Yuan's horse approached, he stepped forward and grabbed the horse's rein, "Pu Yuan, why are you back?"

"Almost forgot a big thing!"

Dong Bi said, "What's the matter?"

"My lord is going to Danyang, I must pass through Jiangxia."

"It should be so."

"Yuan just remembered on the road that there is a strange person in Jiangxia. You might as well visit him when the main road passes by."

Jiang Xia?Odd person?
Dong Bi was surprised: "Who is it? What's so strange?"

Pu Yuan scratched his head, "The man's name is Fei Wo. He is strong and weak. He is a son of a large family in Jiangxia City. He is quite talented. He is good at organ learning. He once studied under Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Miannan. He has studied art for five years. Known as the current Xiao He."

Dong Bi was surprised when he heard this, "There is such a person in Jiang Xia, why haven't I heard of it?"

Pu Yuan said: "This person doesn't like publicity very much, so his reputation is not obvious. Yuan Nai heard the name of this person at Zheng Shi's office, so he kept a thought and asked Zheng Shi about his residence. I saw him before. The lord was so excited that he almost forgot about it. If the lord passes by Jiangxia, you can meet this person...here is his address in Jiangxia."

Dong Bi said happily: "Pu Yuan, you have a heart!"

"That Yuan will leave now...Brother Chengli and the others are still waiting for me on the road, my lord has a smooth journey, and I hope to return to Zhangye as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Pu Yuan bowed, turned around, mounted his horse, and drove away with his whip.

The fat boy walked very chicly, but this made Xu Shu feel much better.

So he summoned people and horses, and Dong Bi led three hundred giant magicians to set off again, marching towards Xiangyang mightily all the way.

******
Gossip less, Dong Yu and others stopped for two days when they passed through Wan County, passed through Yiyang, and passed through Xinye.

This is not the first time to come to Xinye, but the last time I passed by in a hurry without any stop at all.Dong Bi still has a lot of feelings about this place.According to the storytelling, when Liu Bei suffered consecutive defeats in the north and was desperate, he recuperated here.After getting acquainted with Xu Shu and being introduced by Xu Shu, he visited the thatched cottage three times and invited Zhuge Liang.

But now, the famous Renyi Mingjun in history has now become a traitor.

As for Taoyuan Sanying, one of the three went away. I don’t know if those familiar stories can happen again?

Therefore, when staying in Xinye, Dong Bi was quite touched.

Suddenly remembered that Longzhong was not too far from Xinye.Zhugegui's family lived in Longzhong, so they inquired about the route to Longzhong, and took Pang De and Wu Anguo to Longzhong to visit Zhugegui's family.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Wollongong and found Zhuge Gui's residence, Zhuge Gui was not there.

Zhuge Jin was at home, but he was sick.

Zhuge Jin, who is now 14 years old, has shown a steady spirit.Hearing that Dong Bi came to visit, Zhuge Jin was very happy.Supporting the sick body, he went out to greet him, and invited Dong Pi into his home.

"The eldest sister got married, and my father took the second sister and two younger brothers to Jingzhou to watch the ceremony. I was not in good health, so I didn't go together. But I didn't expect... If my father knew that Anning Tinghou came to visit, he would definitely regret it very much. "

Zhuge Jin spoke cheerfully, pouring a cup of wine for Dong Pi.

"Oh, Miss Zhuge got married? I wonder which family is so lucky?"

Zhuge Jin laughed and said, "Speaking of which, the Marquis of Anning Ting must know that person. He is Kuai Qi, the son of Kuai Liang, a well-known scholar in Jingzhou."

"Kuai Liang, I know him, but Kuai Qi doesn't. Didn't Kuai Liang stay in Yangzhou with the governor of Qin? How is it now?"

Zhuge Jin said: "Mr. Kuai is now serving as the deputy driver under the governor of Qin, which is not bad. After we moved here, my father and Kuai's family made this marriage. Kuai Qi is also quite talented. She is a student of Mr. Shui Jing. Father is very satisfied with him. Brother Dong, if you could come 30 days earlier, you might be able to meet my father, and he often misses you."

Dong Bi laughed, "It's my honor to let Mr. Zhuge talk about it."

Zhuge Jin seemed quite open in front of Dong Pi.From the time I came here to settle down, to what happened later, I talked a lot about it.Before I knew it, it was getting late.Dong Bi simply stayed overnight and talked with Zhuge Jin about his experiences after parting, which made Zhuge Jin feel even more excited.

"Brother Xiping is only four years older than me, but now he is the Marquis of Ting, and he has made a lot of contributions. I really wish I could grow up earlier, and go to war with my brother to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds." Zhuge Jin yearned infinitely. Said.

To be honest, Dong Bi's interest in Zhuge Jin, an honest man, was not as strong as that of the future Mr. Kong Ming.

But after this night, his understanding of Zhuge Jin changed a lot.

Zhuge Jin's speech is quite methodical, but she looks very stable at such a young age.Although his knowledge is not extensive, he can hit the nail on the head.

Zhuge Jin said: "Brother Xiping, where are you going this time?"

"Oh, I have two virtuous younger brothers who I want to send to study with Lord Pang De on Lumen Mountain."

"what?"

Zhuge Jin was surprised and said: "That's really a coincidence. My father told me a few days ago that he planned to send me to Panggong to study when I turned 15 years old. Alas, it's a pity that at that time, Brother Xiping might It is no longer in Lumen Mountain."

Dong Bi rubbed Zhuge Jin's hair, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? When you finish your studies, come and help me."

"Can I really help Brother Xiping?"

"Of course!"

Zhuge Jin laughed, and Dong Bi also laughed...

Early the next morning, Dong Bi took Pang De and Wu Anguo to leave.At the time of parting, Zhuge Jin reluctantly sent Dong Bi away for ten miles, and then, under Dong Bi's urging, returned home every three steps.

After chatting with Zhuge Jin all night, Dong Bi was in a good mood.

After returning to Xinye, I went to Bowangpo for another day.The terrain here is dangerous, with overgrown vegetation on both sides.

Xu Shu frowned and said suddenly: "Brother Dong, if one day you confront the enemy here, how will you defeat the enemy?"

Almost without thinking, he said, "Of course it's attacking with fire!"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Brother Dong thinks the same as me. This place is indeed an excellent place to attack."

Nonsense, it's not an excellent place, so the Zhuge Grand Assembly almost burned to death Cao Cao's fierce general Xia Houdun in a fire here?
After everyone turned around Bowangpo again, they returned to Xinye contentedly.

Nothing happened that night, and we continued our journey after dawn.

Along the way, Dong Bi, Xu Shu, and Shi Tao kept arguing.Or describe in detail the terrain of a certain place, or how to fight according to the terrain.Speaking of later, Dong Bi and others even asked people to make a sand table, and whenever they encountered a dangerous terrain, they would stop and conduct deduction.At first, there were only three people, but later, Pound also joined in the discussion.

In this way, the speed will of course be slowed down.

Most of Dong Bi's theoretical tactics come from Ma Yuan's account of military tactics.You know, Ma Yuan once fought in Jingxiang, and there are corresponding records.But Xu Shu and Shi Tao have a keen intuition about this.Often when he is at a disadvantage, he suddenly comes up with a whimsical idea, a small idea, but Dong Bi's various arrangements are in vain.

Especially when passing through Fancheng, Dong Bi remembered the story of the flooding of the Seventh Army.

So he pulled Pang De to join in, and asked Xu Shu and Shi Tao to play the role of Guan Gong.As a result, Xu Shu adopted a strategy of avoiding war from the very beginning, and dragged the time until the rainy season, recreating the tragedy of the flooding of the Seventh Army.

Dong Bi began to believe that if there was such a battle in history...

Guan Gong should not be underestimated.

This way of deduction, whether it is Dong Yu Pang De or Xu Shu and Shi Tao, can be said to have gained a lot.

Leaving Deng County, crossing Mount Atou, we enter Xiangyang.

Dong Bi calculated the time, but unexpectedly found that it took them nearly 30 days to travel all the way from Xinye.Counting the days, it has been fifty days since I left Luoyang.

Not daring to delay any longer, after asking about the location of Lumen Mountain, Dong Bi and the others hurried all the way.

At the end of July, the group entered Lumen Mountain.

Outside the mountain, the autumn tiger was raging, but in the mountain, it was cool and cool.

Along the way, you can only see strange peaks and rocks protruding, and you can see lush greenery everywhere you look.The brook is murmuring and the birds are singing.

Dong Bi felt that his mood suddenly became better.

Mr. Pang De was quite famous in the local area. He happened to meet a woodcutter on the mountain road and found out where Mr. Pang De lived.

In Lumen Mountain, Mr. Pang De called himself Lumen Mountain Layman.

Living in Qingshiping of Lumen Mountain, the surrounding scenery is even more elegant.

Dong Bi asked the trolls to wait outside Qingshiping, and brought Xu Shu and Shi Tao with him to the front of the hut.

Knock on the firewood door, and after a while, I heard a childish voice, "Who is it?"

"If you dare to inform Duke Pang, Dong Xiping, a native of Longxi, came to see Duke Pang..."

There was a moment of silence behind the chaifei, and a moment later came the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by the opening of the chaifei, and Mr. Pang De stood behind the door.

I haven't seen him for several years, but Mr. Pound hasn't changed much.

On the contrary, when I first saw him, his hair was slightly gray, but now it has turned into pure black, with a hale and hearty complexion.Standing at the door, Pang Degong had to raise his head and said with a smile: "You Dong Achou, why are you in this state now?"

For some unknown reason, Dong Bi's growth in the past six months has been astonishing.

Not to mention his height, his physique became more and more burly and sturdy.Standing there is like a hill with a strong back and waist.

His appearance hasn't changed much, but he has a short beard.

The beard is very hard, like a steel needle.Indistinctly, Dong Bi also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason.

Dong Pi laughed and said, "Mr. Pang, don't take the liberty of disturbing me."

"What's wrong? How come... Come in quickly, I happen to have a friend here, let me introduce you."

While talking, Mr. Pang De pulled Dong Bi and walked inside.

Xu Shu and Shi Tao looked at each other, followed Dong Bi in, and went straight to the hall.

The hall of the hut is extraordinarily elegantly decorated.

Facing the hall door is an Eight Immortals table, with a Taishi chair on each side.

A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in the house, and behind him stood two young men holding a little girl in their arms.

He looks about five or six years old, with dark skin and slightly yellow hair, perhaps due to calcium deficiency.

"Old Huang, come here, I just want to introduce you... Hehe, I really said Ah Chou, Ah Chou is here. I was talking about you just now, but unexpectedly you came here... This is my friend, Miannan Mingshi Huang Yu, styled Chengyan. Old Huang, this is Anning Tinghou, Dong Xiping."

The middle-aged man also stood up and smiled slightly.

Dong Yu couldn't help being surprised.Huang Chengyan... This gentleman is the father-in-law of Mr. Kong Ming.In the storytelling, Liu Bei's Baidi City suffered a disastrous defeat, and Mr. Kong Ming set up an eight formation map to trap Lu Xun's hundreds of thousands of troops inside.It was Mr. Huang who came forward and broke the eight formations, saving Lu Xun's hundreds of thousands of troops from death... This is a hidden genius.

Dong Bi had also heard of Huang Chengyan's name before, but he didn't think much of it.

But when he saw himself face to face, he couldn't help feeling awed.He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I met Mr. Huang."

"The Marquis of Anning Ting, don't be so polite, I'll kill this old man... Hehe, I've heard of the name of Marquis of Anning Ting, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly. Old Pang is telling me What about your Eight Immortals table, hehe, it’s a pity that Luoyang is too far away from here, and the things in your furniture shop are too expensive, so you can only buy some fakes to use.”

Mr. Pang De blushed, glared at Huang Chengyan, and asked everyone to sit down.

"Ah Chou... Ah, now I should call you the Marquis of Anning Ting..."

Dong Pi smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Pang, are you planning to keep me? If you call me that again, I'll leave. It's better to call me A Chou... If not, you can call me Biaozi. Anyway Let’s talk about the four characters Anning Tinghou.”

"Then I'll call you Xiping."

"Where's the little ugly?" Dong Bi glanced at the living room and asked doubtfully.

Mr. Pang De sighed, "Isn't it because your reputation as a big ugly is getting louder and louder, which stimulated that little guy... He is already eleven this year, and he has emptied my old bottom. A few days ago , I sent him to Mr. Shui Jing to learn art... Hehe, if he knew you were coming, that ugly boy would definitely run back and make a lot of trouble."

Dong Bi couldn't help laughing, "Little Ah Chou knows that making progress is a good thing, but it has nothing to do with me."

"How can you say it doesn't matter? If you didn't instigate him to help you in the future, how could he calm down and study hard?"

After speaking, everyone who said it laughed.

Dong Bi suddenly felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him.Looking down, he found that the little girl who was still in Huang Chengyan's arms just now slipped down at some point and stood beside his big chair, waiting for her big watery eyes to look at him blinking.Seeing that Dong Bi lowered her head, the little girl ran away immediately.Hiding behind Huang Chengyan, sticking out his small head, biting his fingers, his black eyes kept staring at Dong Pi.

"This is……"

"Oh, this is Lao Huang's girl, she is only five years old... her name is Huang Shuo, and because she was born on a full moon night, her baby name was Yue Ying."

"Oh!"

Dong Bi smiled first, but suddenly froze again.

Huang Yueying?Isn't that Mr. Kong Ming's...

While thinking about it, Pang Degong introduced the two people behind Huang Chengyan to Dong Bi.

"These two are Lao Huang's favorite students, both from Runan. One is called Meng Jian, whose name is Gongwei; the thin one is the son of Cui Lie, the younger brother of Cui Jun, the prefect of Xihe. His name is You, and his name is Zhouping... Hehe, Lao Huang loves them."

Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping...

Dong Bi suddenly subconsciously turned his head to look at Shi Tao behind him.Shi Guangyuan, Xu Yuanzhi...

Finally remembered, who exactly is this Shi Tao!It seems to have been mentioned in the commentary.It is said that Mr. Kong Ming has the best relationship with these four people.It's just that apart from Xu Shu's deep impression, the other three Dong Bi are a little fuzzy.

If Mr. Pound hadn't mentioned the names of these four people, he wouldn't even be able to remember them.

Pang Degong asked: "Xiping, you are here this time to see me, a bad old man, right?"

Dong Yu hurriedly replied: "Mr. Pang, I came here today to ask for something. Look at the two people behind me, they want to visit famous teachers to study. Luoyang is too chaotic now, and it is really not suitable for learning in a place where you are chasing profit. , so I think of you."

Pang Degong was startled, and looked at Huang Yu.

But Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "Old Pang, it seems that you are very leisurely. It just so happened that I brought Zhou Pinghe and Gongwei here for this purpose. You simply accept the four of them as your closure." Disciple, what do you think?"

Mr. Pound smiled wryly and said: "One is an old friend for many years, and the other is my acquaintance who has forgotten the years... You two will really challenge me. I just sent away a troublemaker, and I thought I could be free for two days... Forget it, since the two of you open your mouth, I can't refuse. The four of you can study with me, as for how much you can learn, it depends on you."

Xu Shu and Shi Tao hurried forward, and at the same time, Cui Zhouping and Meng Gongwei performed the ceremony of apprenticeship.

Seeing that the matter had come to fruition, Dong Bi finally let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone was chatting in the hall, but Dong Bi always felt that Huang Yueying was staring at him.But when he looked over, he hid behind Huang Chengyan again.

"Why is my little sister always staring at me?"

"Brother Zhouping said, you are a bad guy, a big bad guy who kills without blinking an eye!"

Dong Bi couldn't help asking.After Huang Yueying finished speaking, she hid in Huang Chengyan's arms again, as if she didn't dare to look at Dong Pi.

When Xu Shu and Shi Tao heard this, they couldn't help glaring at Cui Zhouping.

As for Cui Zhouping, his face was flushed... He is also a child of an aristocratic family, so naturally he would not have a good impression of Dong Pi.When I was studying under Huang Chengyan, I also talked about Dong Pi with Meng Jian in private, and there were many slanders in these words.

But after all, that was what she said in private. I didn't expect Huang Yueying to say it out. It's really a shame...

Huang Chengyan glanced at Cui Zhouping, feeling a little unhappy.

On the other hand, Xu Shu wanted to stand up and speak, but was held back by Dong Bi.

"Dong Xiping's hands were indeed bloody, and he killed countless people. He fought in the Northwest at the age of 13, and moved to the Central Plains at the age of 14, killing rebels...Yongqiu rescued him, and the number of people he killed was more than a thousand? But Dong himself I have a clear conscience, let others say what they want to say... I had my heart for the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch... Why should I stand up and defend? Yuanzhi, Guangyuan, you are here to study, Don't miss your studies because of me."

After finishing speaking, Dong Bi got up and cupped his hands with a smile: "Mr. Pang, I have the emperor's order, and I have to go to Danyang to recruit soldiers. I won't bother you. When the little ugly comes back next time, please send my greetings to him... Huang Gong, I will bid farewell here, and see you again if you are destined."

Turning around and striding away, the people in the room were stupefied.

It took a long time for Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong to wake up, but Dong Bi had already left the house.

"Brother Dong..."

Xu Shu and Shi Tao chased them out first.Pang Degong glanced at Cui Zhouping, sighed, and chased after him.

Huang Chengyan didn't chase after him, but hugged Huang Shuo.

Little Huang Shuo's eyes widened, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Daddy, what do you mean by the big villain's words?"

"Which sentence?"

"It's that sentence that I would like to turn my heart to the bright moon."

Huang Chengyan looked at little Huang Shuo, then at Cui Zhouping and Meng Gongwei who were blushing, and suddenly sighed: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say that I am asking. Who is this? Hehe, really A fun guy."

Cui Zhouping and Meng Gongwei couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.

I have to ask for leave again today, only one chapter.
