yellow river ferry

Tai Shici pointed to the distant ship and made a suggestion to Liu Zhang.

"Young Master, we can go directly to Mengjin Ferry in Sizhou by boat. It will save a lot of time than going by land!"

"Now the world is not peaceful, it's better to be careful."

Hearing Tai Shici's words, Liu Zhang's heart moved.

I don't know what happened to Yan'er...

Thinking of Cai Yan, Liu Zhang couldn't help smiling, and the extremely gentle girl flashed in his mind.

"No, let's go overland, first go to Taishan County, I'm going to meet a great talent."

Liu Zhang was not dazzled by the longing. Troubled times are coming, and he has more important things to do.

"Okay, I will escort the young master there."

Seeing Liu Zhang's insistence, Tai Shici didn't persuade him any more.

Liu Zhang's expression lightened, and he couldn't help laughing:

"Ziyi, don't underestimate me, I am no longer a man without a hand!"

Tai Shici looked at Liu Zhang's strong body and felt a little nervous.

"My lord is humble, now my lord's martial arts are beyond comparison!"

"Ziyi! Don't make fun of me. I'm a bit brute. There's no such thing as martial arts!"

Liu Zhang laughed at himself, took out a bamboo slip from his pocket and handed it to the guard.

"You escort the old lady back to Luoyang first, and hand over this letter to my father. Ziyi and I can go to Taishan County!"

The guards were also worried about Liu Zhang's safety, but they couldn't hold back their master, so they had to obey orders.

"You must serve carefully, and you must ensure the safety of the old lady!"

Liu Zhang asked again that Tai Shici is a filial person, and his mother Liu Zhang must make proper arrangements.

The mother who was too irritated came out and looked at Tai Shici with a serious face.

"Ziyi, even if your body is broken to pieces, you must protect your son well!"

"Mother, please rest assured."

Tai Shi kindly assured his mother.

The ship was drifting away, and Liu Zhang didn't delay.

"Let's go, Ziyi."

The two horses galloped towards Taishan County, Tai Shici couldn't help being curious.

Who is it that makes the young master pay so much attention to him.

Fenggao County, Taishan Military Administration

"My lord, it took more than ten days, and it's finally here."

Looking at Tai Shici, who is busy in the world, Liu Zhang can think that he is not very elegant.

"Yeah, I hope we won't come here in vain!"

"Passing through several counties along the way, can Ziyi see any differences?"

Tai Shici thought for a while, then whispered:

"There are indeed many suspicious things."

"No hurry, it's noon now, I'll have some food first."

Liu Zhang felt a little hungry, so the two found a tavern. After sitting down, I ordered a few small dishes.

Liu Zhang looked around, and the three people next to him caught his attention.

"Brother Ma, you must be careful when you go to Luoyang."

Liu Zhang couldn't help looking at them, and heard Brother Ma say to his companions.

"The same goes for the two brothers. It's already June, so remember not to delay the big event."

"We will work separately. He will go to Yangzhou and I will go to Jingzhou. There will be no delay. Brother Yuanyi, don't worry!"

The slightly fat man swears by it. After that, the three of them left the tavern together.

Ma Yuanyi! Liu Zhang was secretly surprised. It turned out that Zhang Jiao had already started to act.

Thinking of the eye contact with Zhang Jiao twelve years ago, Liu Zhang couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Young master?"

Seeing Liu Zhang's nervous expression, Tai Shici was a little puzzled.

Liu Zhang turned his head and took a sip of the water in his hand.

"What's suspicious along the way?"

Tai Shici thought for a moment.

"There are a lot of people in Taiping Dao, and there is no shortage of well-trained people."

"It's much more than that!"

Liu Zhang said in a heavy tone:

"They have good relations with the government, and many of them have hidden weapons!"

Tai Shici nodded.

"Exactly. If you follow what Young Master Bei Hai said, disaster may not be far away!"

"It's already June, and we need to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and visit Zhuge Gui, the prefect of the county, as soon as possible after the meal."

Liu Zhang already felt that time was running out, and it would take a lot of time from Mount Tai to Luoyang.

"Young master is referring to Zhuge Gui as a great talent?"

"Do not."

Liu Zhang smiled lightly.

"It's his son."

While chatting, the food was brought up, and the two of them were not polite, and they ate separately.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the tavern contentedly.

After some inquiries, they finally found Zhuge Gui's house.

The Zhuge clan in Langya can also be regarded as a family, but it cannot be compared with the Xun clan in Yingchuan and the Sima clan in Hanoi.

Not as good as the top aristocratic families Yuan and Yang, now they can only be regarded as famous families.

Zhuge Liang's grandfather, Zhugefeng, had been a lieutenant of Sili, and his father, Zhugegui, and uncle, Zhugexuan, were also officials, but they were all local officials, and their rank was not very high.

The two stood at the door of Zhuge's house, only to see white cloth hanging everywhere, and faint crying came from inside.

Liu Zhang felt cold, could it be that Zhuge Gui died?

But he clearly remembered that Zhuge Gui would be the magistrate for a few more years.

Just as Liu Zhang was thinking about it, a middle-aged man walked out. He was neatly dressed and well-groomed.

Liu Zhang hurried forward to ask.

"May I ask who died inside?"

The middle-aged man frowned, a little displeased

"Who are you?"
