After eating and drinking, Yuan Shao and his party of six said goodbye to Mi Zhu.
"The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever. Brother Zizhong, we'll meet again." Yuan Shao cupped his fists and bid farewell.
"Brother Benchu, I wanted to keep you for one more night, but since you're in a hurry to return to Luoyang, I won't send you off.”Mi Zhu bowed to Yuan Shao.
"Brother Zizhong, please help me tell Miss Mi that Shao…is very poetic. Her charming eyes closed shyly, and her red lips opened in a smile. The wind swept the grape belt, and the sun shone on the pomegranate skirt.”Yuan Shao's face was filled with righteousness as he expressed his emotions.
"Good! I will definitely pass on this poem to my little sister without missing a single word. Please rest assured, brother Benchu." Mei Zhu finally understood something. It was the love between a man and a woman.
Yuan Shao mounted his horse and shouted into the room,""Miss Mi, I'm leaving. I hope you can take care of yourself! Go!"
Waving his whip, he lashed out at the horse's thigh, and his legs clamped down on the horse's belly, causing the horse to gallop forward at full speed.
"My lord! Wait for me!" Dian Wei was afraid of danger, so he quickly rode his Snow Green Horse and chased after them.
"Let's go, big brother." Xu Chu also turned around and rode on the white stone to chase after her.
Xu Ding commanded Li Guo and Fan Yong to pull three carriages filled with gold.
At the city gate, over 500 personal guards were already dressed neatly and were waiting there. When they saw Yuan Shao's figure, they shouted,"My lord!"
"Good! Brothers, get ready to set off.”Yuan Shao nodded.
After slowly passing through the city gate, Yuan Shao and his group began to gallop rapidly on the official road.
Xuzhou, Mi Mansion.
Night fell, and the blue sky was dotted with countless stars. The cold moon hung high above the branches, and the cold wind blew the bare branches.
Zi Xun took out a fire sickle from her sleeve and used it to cut a few times. She lit up the bronze oil lamp in the room, making it livelier.
"Miss, what are you thinking about? Young Master Yuan has left?" He walked over to the bed and slowly sat down. He hugged Mei Zhen's arm and asked.
"Xiaoxun, you said that Young Master Yuan is a high-ranking official with two thousand dan at such a young age. Today, look at the few generals around him. They all have fierce expressions on their faces and are here to read the two poems he wrote. What kind of person do you think Young Master Yuan is?”Mei Zhen recalled everything that had happened today and could not help but ask.
"I'm not sure either, but maybe they're from a prestigious family and have a way of nurturing their children.”Zi Xun pouted.
"Don't talk nonsense. I've heard rumors in the marketplace that the most outstanding people in the Yuan Family of Ruyang are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu's reputation is extremely bad and he often steals women. If he wasn't born in the Yuan Family, he would have died countless times. Although Young Master Yuan was born of a concubine, he was a filial son. He had been filial to his parents for six years, and he was generous and frugal. I see a hero!" Mei Zhen started studying at the age of five and was familiar with the scriptures since she was young. When she was thirteen, she took over the family business, so she was not like other women who were uneducated and illiterate. And the one who had made all this happen was her big brother, Mei Zhu.
Speaking of which, he felt helpless because his second brother, Mi Fang, was not cut out for business. He was a profligate son. Mi Zhu did not want the huge family business to be destroyed in the hands of Mi Fang, so he could only hand the business over to his sister.
"Little sister! Little sister! Are you asleep? It's me!" A figure appeared outside the door and knocked on it.
"Miss, it's Master!" Zi Xun immediately recognized the owner of the voice.
"Brother, I'm not asleep yet. Come in.”Mei Zhen stood up and said.
Mi Zhu pushed the door open and entered." You may leave first. I have something to say to your young miss."”
"Yes, Master."
Mei Zhu walked to Mei Zhen's side and stood there. After a moment of silence, he said,""Little sister…what do you think of this Young Master Yuan?”
"What…how?" Mei Zhen's voice was as soft as a mosquito's as she tugged at the hem of her dress.
"Little sister! You…have you fallen in love with him?”Mei Zhu took a look and immediately understood everything.
"Brother! What are you talking about? Annoying!" When Mei Zhen heard this, she became anxious and lowered her head shyly.
"Little sister, you have to know that he…has a wife. You have to understand!”Mei Zhu sat beside Mei Zhen and stared at him.
" This…of course I know, but…" Mei Zhen's voice became softer and softer, so soft that Mei Zhu could not hear it.
"Little sister, I…I know what you mean, forget it! A grown woman can't be kept!" Mei Zhu let out a long sigh and left.
"Brother! "I…" Mei Zhen looked at Mei Zhu's departing figure. Her cherry lips opened slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she could not say it.
——
At dawn, a cool breeze blew.
Yuan Shao and his group traveled through the night and finally arrived at Suiyang, the capital of the Country of Liang, before daybreak.
"Everyone, work hard. Find a place outside the city to set up camp. Fan Yong, stay behind. Zhongkang and Dian Wei, follow me into the city.”Yuan Shao wiped the sand off his face with his hand.
"Yes! Brothers, set up camp!" Xu Ding urged his horse to quickly make a circle as he shouted.
"Let's go into the city!" Yuan Shao really did not have any strength left and could only rely on the horse to move forward.
After entering the city, they found a good inn.
"Use the best fodder to feed my horse and get three rooms connected together. Here, this is the money.”As soon as Yuan Shao entered, he threw a piece of silver to the waiter.
"Alright! Sir."
After a quiet night, Yuan Shao and the others began their journey again. They departed from the Country of Liang and followed the official road. Passing through Dingtao, they finally arrived at the east gate of Chenliu City at a quarter to nine.
"Dian Wei, we'll part ways here first. Go to Jiwu and fetch your sister-in-law and your son. Also, buy some old hen and beef to nourish their bodies. Remember, we'll meet at the east gate of Chenliu City at 6:30 PM. We don't have much time, so don't let it pass, understand?”When they arrived at Chen Liu, they remembered Dian Wei's family in Jiwu, so they instructed Dian Wei to set a time.
"Xu Zhongkang, once I leave, the lord's safety will be in your hands. Be careful!”Dian Wei ignored Yuan Shao and turned to Xu Chu.
"Dong! Dong!" After two sounds, Xu Chu patted his chest with a solemn expression."If you want to hurt my lord, you have to climb over my dead body.”
" Zhongkang…you…" Yuan Shao was very touched when he heard that. The corners of his eyes seemed to moisten a lot.
"My lord, I'm leaving. You have to take care of yourself.”Even though Dian Wei was a one-track minded person, Yuan Shao's kindness to him was something he remembered in his heart.
"Alright, don't make it sound like we're parting in life and death. Remember not to miss the time." Yuan Shao also felt a little emotional. Although he had only been in the late Han Dynasty for a short time, he had communicated with Dian Wei and the others. Laughing and laughing. In the midst of their banter, they felt the decisiveness and honesty of the martial artists of this era. He loved to fight. Yuan Shao had always believed that respect was the foundation of honesty. He was also using his own way to integrate into this era. With a modern soul, he had always believed that he had to give something, regardless of whether there was a return or even more.
"My lord, I thank you on behalf of my wife and Man-er! Go!" After saying that, Dian Wei rode his Snow Green Horse towards Jiwu County.
"... Alright, Zhongkang, tell the brothers to set up camp. Xu Ding will arrange the brothers in charge of patrolling, plus the open and hidden sentries. They were split into two shifts. He also needed to arrange manpower for the gold.”Yuan Shao was most worried about the three carriages of gold. Without money, he could not afford an army, let alone cavalry.
"Yes!" Xu Ding rode his horse and left.
"Hah! Oh, right, Zhongkang, after setting up the camp, you should go and have a good sleep. I'm afraid your body can't take it if you travel overnight.”Tiredness came, Yuan Shao really could not hold on any longer.
"…Alright, my lord should rest early too.”
