"May I know who this brother is?" Liu Bei really did not know this youth. He bowed and said,""I am Liu Bei from Zhuo County."
"Yingchuan Xun You." The young man smiled and returned the greeting." You are a genius, Mister Zigan. You are a dream of the gods. Now that I have seen you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation. Brother Xuande is a peerless genius."”
With a few of Lu Zhi's best friends promoting it, Liu Bei was now more or less a small celebrity. The title of a genius bestowed by a god in his dreams was not bad.
"Yingchuan Xun You?" Liu Bei's heart trembled and he said calmly,""I've been out for a long time, and I occasionally felt something.”
"Xuande also knows you?" Xun You asked in surprise.
It was normal for Xun You to know Liu Bei. Cai Yong was in Luoyang, and Xun You and Cai Yong were friends. He had heard Cai Yong mention Liu Bei by chance.
However, Liu Bei knew Xun You and knew that Xun You was the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate. This was puzzling. At least, Xun You could not understand.
Xun You naturally did not know how excited Liu Bei was.
Who was Xun You?
He was one of Boss Cao's five strategists, a top strategist who was only slightly higher than Tian Feng. He could be said to be a king's assistant, and was not inferior to his uncle Xun Yu.
"I heard teacher and Mister Bo Qiong mention that Assistant Minister Xun is a famous talent in Yingchuan. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary.”Liu Bei explained naturally.
He didn't know if Xun You believed it or not, but Liu Bei believed it himself. Liu Bei couldn't say that he had admired them for a thousand years, so he naturally brought up Lu Zhi and Cai Yong.
"So it's the love of the two gentlemen. I don't deserve it.”Xun You was convinced and said,"Brother Xuande has traveled all over the world to the capital, right?" I wonder if there's a place to stay?"
Liu Bei nodded." Thank you for your concern, Assistant Minister Xun. I would like to go to the Cai Mansion to ask for your help for a few days."”
Liu Bei's main purpose in entering the capital was to take a look at the ten thousand books in the Cai Residence and see if there was any way to avoid being burned by Dong Zhuo in the future.
There were many unique books in the Cai Mansion's collection of ten thousand volumes. After the Luoyang Rebellion, many books disappeared and were lost. This was undoubtedly a great loss or a catastrophe for the Chinese civilization.
"That's good! I'll come to visit Mr. Bo and Brother Xuande in the future.”Xun You seemed very happy.
"I can pay a visit to Mister Bo Tong, but I don't deserve it. However, I welcome Vice Minister Xun's visit at any time.”Liu Bei was in a good mood.
"Of course, Brother Xuande's homesick poem just now made me admire it very much.”"If you don't mind, Brother Xuande," said Xun You enthusiastically,"you can just call me Gongda.”
Xun You had a good impression of Liu Bei the moment he saw him. He really had the impulse to invite Liu Bei to stay at his house for a few days. As for why this was the case, perhaps it was because of Liu Bei, or perhaps it was because of Liu Bei's poem. In any case, Xun You himself did not quite understand.
"Brother Gongda, I didn't dare to invite you!”Liu Bei was in an even better mood, and he said warmly,""The poem just now is called 'Autumn Thoughts'.”
If someone who did not know what was going on saw this scene, they would think that Liu Bei and Xun You were best friends who had not seen each other for many years. They would never believe that this was the first time they had met.
As for Dian Wei, who had been present all along, he didn't find it strange at all. Even the great teacher Zhang Jiao was convinced by his big brother, so what?
"Autumn Thoughts." Xun You shook his head as he chanted,"Seeing the autumn wind in Luoyang, I want to write a book. I'm afraid I can't finish it in a hurry, so I'll open it again before leaving. The meaning was profound, and the aftertaste was long. Good, good, good. What a wonderful poem!”
"Brother Gongda, you praise me too much. How can I compare to Brother Gongda's great talent in helping the world and bringing peace to the world?”
……
Liu Bei and Xun You stood facing each other, their interaction heated up. After an unknown amount of time, Xun You left contentedly after they agreed to meet again.
Of course, Xun You did not forget to point out the general location of the Cai Residence for Liu Bei.
Luoyang City was very large, and the layout of the city was even more complicated. If not for Cai Yong's previous address and Xun You's guidance, Liu Bei and Dian Wei would not have been able to find Cai's residence.
At the end of a remote and quiet alley, there was a red-stained red door, a floating tile wall, a red bark manor door, and the bold words Cai Manor. All of this showed the knowledge and temperament of the owner of the manor.
This was the home of Cai Yong, a great scholar at the end of the Han Dynasty.
"Bang bang bang!"
Liu Bei stood in front of the door and knocked on the door three times with the iron ring in the monster's mouth.
At this time, Liu Bei definitely did not dare to let Dian Wei call the door. If he was not careful, the door would be destroyed. It was not a big deal to pay for the door, but it would be inappropriate to offend Cai Yong.
"Creak!" A sound rang out.
The door of the Cai Residence opened a crack, and an elderly man poked his head out. He looked at Liu Bei and the other two and asked,""What are you two doing?"
"Greetings, uncle. I am Liu Bei from Zhuo County of Youzhou. I have come to visit Mister Bo Meng.”Liu Bei saluted and replied.
Liu Bei treated Cai Yong with the courtesy of a disciple. This was also the intention of his teacher, Lu Zhi. Cai Yong was Liu Bei's teacher.
"You're welcome. Please wait a moment, Young Master Liu.”The old man smiled and gently closed the door.
Not long after, Cai Yong personally opened the door and greeted him warmly,"Xuande is here. Good, good. Come in quickly.”
"Thank you, sir. This disciple has disturbed you. This is this disciple's brother, Chen Liu and Dian Wei.”Liu Bei bowed and introduced Dian Wei.
"I won't disturb you, I won't disturb you." Cai Yong laughed and said,"My fellow countrymen, you're so majestic. Come in quickly."”
Cai Yong was in a good mood as he led the way. Liu Bei and Dian Wei followed behind.
The Cai Residence was quite big. The courtyard in front of the main house was more than a mu. In the middle of the courtyard was a road paved with stones. Both sides of the road were planted with flowers and grass, and a few autumn chrysanthemums were swaying in the wind.
The door of the main house was two wooden doors carved with different patterns. The door was open. The room was very simple. There was only a large wooden table and a few cushions for kneeling. In front of the cushions was a small square table.
"Xuande, the last time I saw you at brother Zigan's house was before the new year.”Cai Yong sighed,"Time flies."”
"Yes, sir." Liu Bei retracted his gaze and said respectfully,""Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon are like shuttles. Time always passes inadvertently.”
"Yes!" Cai Yong nodded his head in relief and said,"Xuande, Brother Zigan went to Jiujiang, but I haven't heard any news from him until today. I'm very worried!"”
When Liu Bei heard this, he thought to himself that it couldn't be. Could it be that he remembered wrongly? Liu Bei remembered that Lu Zhi's trip to Jiujiang to quell the rebellion was very successful. He settled everything in Jiujiang in about 100 days.
Liu Bei immediately realized that it was not because he had remembered wrongly, but because of the poor traffic and slow communication in this era. It was unlike the modern world where there were phones and the internet. Once something happened, the whole world would know in minutes.
"Teacher, don't worry. I have faith in you.”Liu Bei said with certainty,"It is very likely that the news of victory is on the way."”
"I also have confidence in Brother Zigan." Cai Yong was still a little worried." But the battlefield is merciless, and the war is extraordinary. It always makes people worry."”
Liu Bei bowed again,"I thank you for your concern."”
"There's no need to be so polite, Xuande." Cai Yong waved his hand and said,"Brother Zigan and I are best friends. Brother Zigan's disciple is my disciple." I'm very happy that you came to Luoyang to look for me. That's right. Otherwise, you'd be treating me as an outsider.”
When Liu Bei came to Luoyang, he didn't go to the tavern. Instead, he went straight to the Cai Residence. Other than the relationship between Cai Yong and Lu Zhi, the main reason was that Cai Yong appreciated Liu Bei very much.
As for the 10,000-volume collection and the legendary talented woman, it was not important.
What? Cai Yan, the talented lady of the ages, was still very important.
