Chapter 336: Wife Stealing?
Ailang and his group rested for a night at the Xiangyang Wharf, and crossed the Han River early the next morning to the dock on the other side of the shore to dock. Then Ailang and his group took a boat to the shore and rode straight to Xuchang along the official road, while the merchant ship stayed on the dock and waited for them to come back. This situation is very common. Many merchants have ships or hired ships. When they landed on the shore and headed for their destination, the ships would stay on the dock and wait for them to come back, but this would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
The group walked day and stayed overnight on the road, and it took five or six days to arrive in Xuchang. This was the first time Ai Lang came to Xuchang. Suddenly, he saw a majestic city between the mountains and rivers, like a giant standing tall. He felt shocked and couldn't help but sigh: "Cao Cao is such a big deal!" Xu Shu on the side couldn't help but sigh: "A such a majestic city shows Cao Cao's ambition! I have also been to Luoyang, and this Xuchang city is probably no less than Luoyang!"
Ailang smiled and said, "Old Xu, don't sigh! Break the door and hurry up! Otherwise, you won't be able to enter Xuchang before dark!" Xu Shu smiled. The group speeded up and finally entered Xuchang before sunset. As soon as they entered the city, a kind of innovation and innovation immediately came to their faces, and the tall bronze croaker platform in the distance looked so magnificent under the sunset. Ailang sighed, "My bastard is really good at enjoying it!"
The group found an inn, rented a courtyard and lived there.
Ailang walked into the hall, walked to a desk in front of the desk and sat down on the desk. Xu Shu and Wen Chou stood in front of Ailang. At this time, the shopkeeper had already lit the oil lamp in the hall, and the dim light drove out some darkness. The shopkeeper walked to Ailang and asked with a smile on his face, "Do you have any instructions?" Ailang waved his hand, "Just prepare some wine and food for me to deliver!" The shopkeeper responded and went down immediately.
When the shopkeeper left, Xu Shu said, "Young Master, since we are here to do business, I will take people to go around the city tomorrow morning to contact the buyer!" Ai Lang knew what Xu Shu meant. He was worried that if he didn't do some business, it would arouse suspicion from others. Others would say, "Look at those people, they said they were here to do business, why didn't they come out?" If it attracted the attention of those interested, it would be a big trouble. Ai Lang nodded, "Okay, you go to the business, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look." Xu Shu couldn't help but frown and clasped his fists and said, "I know Mr.
I have a deep affection for the wife! But the safety of the young master is of great importance. You must not act recklessly!" Ai Lang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know. I will not let Yan's Diao Chan and the others become widows because of impulse!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly. In fact, according to Xu Shu's meaning, he would never want to take this trip. In his opinion, it was unwise to take such risks for a woman; but on the other hand, Xu Shu was very impressed by Ai Lang's behavior, and felt that only people with the most affectionate nature would do such things.
The next morning, after Xu Shu carefully reminded Ai Lang and Wen Chou, he took a few people away from the inn to contact the buyers in the city. Ai Lang and Wen Chou left the inn and came to the street. Ai Lang casually found a passerby and asked where the Prime Minister's Mansion was, so the two of them came straight outside Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion. Ai Lang couldn't help but be excited when he saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion was right in front of him, so he wanted to rush in and find his Cao Ying immediately. However, Ai Lang finally restrained this impulse and led Wen Chou to a restaurant not far from the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and sat down.
After ordering a few wine and dishes, the waiter brought the wine and dishes, and said a slow voice, and then prepared to leave. Ailang quickly called the clerk, took out a ingot of broken silver and stuffed it into the waiter's hand. The waiter's eyes lit up, and quickly put away the silver and smiled and said, "If you have any objective instructions, you can do it! As long as it is something a villain can do, the villain will definitely work hard!"
Ailang said: "My little brother, I came from a very far place. I heard that the Prime Minister is eager to seek talent, so I want to serve the Prime Minister! But I have no way and don't know what to do. Please give me a clear way!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Isn't it easy for a guest to play for our Prime Minister? We will open a civil and military arena in the square in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion every fifteenth month. Guest officials can participate in the competition. Needless to say, if they can win, even if they can't win, they will be appointed as long as they have excellent performance!"
Ailang said oh, and asked again, "Will the Prime Minister and his young ladies come to watch the battle?" The waiter said, "This is not necessarily true! Sometimes the Prime Minister will bring his family to watch, but sometimes no one will come, it depends on luck!" Then he said, teasingly, "Does the guest officer want to perform in front of the ladies and win the beauty's return?" Ailang laughed and said, "Is there a bit of that idea?" The waiter couldn't help but look at Ailang and said, "Look at the guest."
The official has a very good physique, but this is his appearance, haha... I advise the guest officials not to think about it. The Prime Minister's lady is to be matched with the general and the emperor. How could he fall in love with others? As long as I can win a birth, it would be great." Then I remembered something and said jokingly: "But if the guest officials are particularly confident in their literary talent, there is a good opportunity now. Not only can they win a birth, but they can also meet Miss Cao Ying."
Ailang's purpose of saying goodbye was for Cao Ying. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He grabbed the waiter's arm and said anxiously: "What opportunity? Tell me quickly!" The waiter felt that his arm seemed to be tightly clamped by iron clamps, and felt very painful. He couldn't help but feel surprised and shouted urgently: "Give up objectively! It hurts so much!" Ailang realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly let go of the other party's arm and urged: "What opportunity is it? Tell me quickly!"
The waiter moved his arms and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a great power!" Then he said, "Miss Cao Ying and Miss Cai Yan held a poetry and prose conference before, and many young talents participated, and the outstanding ones were later awarded official positions by the Prime Minister. I heard that the two ladies were preparing for poetry and prose conferences recently, and the scale was larger than the last time. If the guest attends the poetry and prose conference, they will definitely be able to meet Miss Cao Ying. Haha, just to win the favor of Miss Cao Ying, you have to see whether the guest has the ability!"
After hearing what the waiter said, Ailang felt that Xiaoying seemed to be living a happy life. She couldn't help feeling a little relieved, but at the same time she was a little annoyed. She only felt that I miss you so much every day, but you live so colorfully, which is simply outrageous! She came to her senses and asked the waiter: "Brother, where is this poetry and prose conference held?" The waiter said: "It was held at the residence of Grand Secretary Cai, not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the guest officials are interested, they can sign up now." Ailang nodded, thinking about this matter, and felt that if Xiaoying had no one around him, he would immediately take her to escape from Xuchang.
"Huh? Look, it's Miss Dong Ying's carriage! Huh? Mr. Cui is here too!"
When Ailang heard the waiter's words, he immediately looked outside and saw a simple carriage sailing to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion surrounded by several servants and maids and several officers and soldiers. Next to the carriage, a young man in white clothes and luster was following him. When Ailang saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Then Dong Ying's close maid Wan'er came out of the carriage and lifted the curtain. Dong Ying, wearing a narrow waist, long skirt and beautiful hair, came out of the carriage. Seeing this, Ailang couldn't help but widen his eyes and was extremely excited. However, at this moment, the elegant young man had already got off the horse and stood up to the side of the carriage. He smiled and looked at Dong Ying, and his right hand reached forward as if he wanted to support Dong Ying. Dong Ying actually looked at him with a smile and held his arm off the carriage. Seeing this scene, Ailang was shocked and stood up suddenly! They both walked into the door side by side! Ailang was so angry that he grabbed the waiter's clothes and pulled him over. The waiter was like a doll, and was at his mercy without any room for resistance. He couldn't help but feel shocked and shouted: "Your guest..."
Ailang pointed outside and shouted, "What's the matter with that sissy little white face in white?"
Seeing Ai Lang's temperament angry and fierce, the waiter suddenly felt a sudden blow, swallowed, and hurriedly said, "He, he is Mr. Cui..."
"What a shitty Mr. Cui! Where did he come from?"
"He, he is the son of Lord Cui Yan."
Ailang only felt full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. With a push with his right hand, the waiter immediately rolled seven or eight times and turned to the ground, and could not get up for a moment. The guests around him looked sideways, but no one dared to say a word when he saw Ailang's fierce appearance. The shopkeeper had already noticed the movement here and had already rushed over. Seeing that Ailang pushed the waiter who was still strong and could not get up with just one push, he couldn't help but feel shocked and hurried forward and clasped his fists and said, "Customer, please calm down! I wonder where my fellow man offended the guest?"
Ai Lang snorted and walked out loud. Seeing this, Wen Chou quickly took out a small piece of silver and threw it on the table, chasing him out.
As soon as Ailang left the restaurant, he felt anger and had nowhere to vent. He raised his hand and punched the tree trunk in front of him. He heard a loud bang. The willow tree as big as an arm actually broke into two pieces, and the upper half flew out and hit the corner of the wall hard! Seeing this, the people around him were shocked and did not dare to let out!
"The hero is so good at martial arts!" A cheer suddenly rang behind Ailang. Ailang couldn't help but turn his head and saw a young man with a handsome face like a handsome man standing not far away surrounded by a group of followers. Ailang was angry and shouted angrily: "Who are you?" His attitude and tone was very rude! One of the men's followers immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Bold! How dare you talk to the young master like this!" The young master smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, he doesn't know who I am, so it's not rude!" Then he turned over and dismounted and walked to Ailang.
