Cai Yong, who was in his early fifties, looked energetic at first glance, but on a closer look, one could see a trace of haggardness and worry between his brows.
"I'm Cai Yong. I still don't know who the general is.”
Dong Song cupped his fists at Cai Yong and sat down opposite him. Not long after, Cai Zhaoji came to Cai Yong's side with her zither.
"This junior is Dong Song. He came from Longxi, Liangzhou. His father was Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong.”
Hearing Dong Song's words, Cai Yong's face flashed with surprise.
"I didn't expect you to be the young master of the Dong family. I met your father once in the east of the river.”
Dong Song smiled and pushed the gift he had prepared in advance to Cai Yong.
"Junior came in a hurry, so I hastily prepared a small profit.”
Cai Yong smiled as he looked at Dong Song. He gently pushed the gift to the side and stood up to pour a cup of tea for Dong Song.
"The reason I disturbed General today is actually because Cai Yong has a request.”
"Honorable Cai, you are too kind. If you have any instructions, please feel free to speak.”
"Perhaps Barkley has already explained the reason why I'm staying in New City.”
Seeing Dong Song nod, Cai Yong continued,"I hope General can send a team of soldiers to escort me to the east of the river.”
Hearing Cai Yong's words, Dong Song frowned.
Sending a team of soldiers to protect Cai Yong was naturally not a problem, but what did Cai Yong want to do with Cai Yan?
"May I ask what Mistress Cai is planning to do in the east of the river?”
"My daughter was engaged to Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family in the east of the river. This time, I brought my daughter to the Wei family to help them get married.”
Cai Yong's words made Dong Song somewhat unhappy.
Firstly, when Dong Song saw Cai Yan's beauty, his heart was somewhat moved.
Secondly, Dong Song knew that Wei Zhongdao had a short life in history. Cai Yan's marriage to Wei Zhongdao had indirectly triggered her miserable luck.
Dong Song had been reborn as a human, and he was fated to meet Cai Yan. Dong Song naturally did not want to see the tragedy of history repeat itself.
"Right now, the Yellow Turban Yan Zheng has led nearly twenty thousand troops to occupy Upper Quyang. Even if I were to allocate a troop to escort Lady Cai, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for her to leave Jizhou.”
As soon as Dong Song finished speaking, a look of disappointment flashed across Cai Yong's face. In contrast, a trace of joy flashed across Cai Yan's face.
Cai Yong and Cai Yan's expressions were easily captured by Dong Song.
Hence, Dong Song came to a conclusion. Perhaps Cai Yan did not approve of this marriage.
Thinking of this, Dong Song couldn't help but say,""Mistress Cai, I have something I don't know if I should say.”
"General Dong, please speak your mind.”
"My father is the prefect of Hedong, so I have a certain understanding of the Hedong Wei family. As far as I know, Wei Zhongdao is a talented person. However, I still think that Wei Zhongdao is not worthy of Lady Zhao Ji.”
"Not worthy?"
Cai Yong's face flashed with a trace of astonishment," General Dong, isn't it too abrupt for you to say this?"”
"Everything I said is true.”
"General Dong, since you're my guest, I won't argue with you. I still have some things to deal with, so please leave immediately.”
Dong Song looked at Cai Yong and didn't have any intention of leaving.
"I feel that in this world, only I, Dong Song, am worthy of Cai Zhaoji. Therefore, I hope that Mistress Cai can bring Miss Zhaoji and stay here in peace. After the Xi Liang Army has taken over Upper Quyang and New City, I will ask my father to come and propose marriage.”
Dong Song's words were not only out of Cai Yong's expectations, but also out of Cai Yan's expectations. When Dong Song finished speaking, Cai Yong and Cai Yan couldn't help but open their mouths wide, unable to recover from their shock.
"You said that Wei Zhongdao isn't worthy of Zhao Ji, and that you're the only one worthy of Zhao Ji?”
Seeing Dong Song nod his head, Cai Yong couldn't help but sneer: "General Dong, you're too proud of Zhao Ji. At the same time, you're too self-righteous.”
Dong Song raised his head and glanced at Cai Yan. Their gazes met and Cai Yan hurriedly lowered his head.
"I'm not being arrogant. In terms of martial arts, I can lift a cauldron and have the courage to fight a hundred men. In terms of talent and learning, I am only stronger than Wei Zhongdao. I'm skilled in both martial arts and I think I'm worthy of Zhao Ji. "The reason why I suddenly proposed to Zhao Ji was firstly because I didn't want the pearl to be covered in dust. Secondly, it was because I fell deeply in love with Zhao Ji at first sight.”
After Dong Song finished speaking, he stood up and took three steps forward to stand in front of Cai Yan.
"What do you want?"
Cai Yan took a step back, his face filled with horror.
"Lend me Lady Zhao Ji's zither.”
Cai Yan passed the zither to Dong Song with a red face.
Dong Song took the zither and sat cross-legged in front of Cai Yong.
Taking a deep breath, Dong Song began to pluck the strings of the zither. Soon, the melody of the zither sounded.
"There's a beauty. I can't see you for a day, and I miss you like crazy. The phoenix flies and soars, and the four seas look for the phoenix. But the beautiful woman is not in the east wall, the zither is used to speak, and the heart is expressed. When will I see you, oh, comfort me when I'm lost. I wish I could say that I am worthy of your kindness, and I will lead you hand in hand. If I can't fly, I will perish.”
"Dong Song gave the song of the Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix to Lady Zhao Ji.”
