Chapter 41 Donglai Taishi Ci
"Hehe, second brother, guess what happened to General Huwei write this letter to someone?" Gongsun Zan sat on the main seat of the prefect of Liaoxi Prefecture and asked his brother Gongsun Yue with a smile.
Gongsun Yue shook his head blankly and said, "I can't guess it."
Gongsun Zan put the letter sent by Ao Lie on the table, looked up and smiled, "Ao Huwei is going to know the hero again, and wrote a letter to ask someone to help him find a native of Donglai, Qingzhou, named Taishici."
"Ao Huwei's vision is also really poisonous. Anyone who is attracted by him is a hero at the moment." Gongsun Yue sighed.
"Yes, I believe this Taishi Ci, who we have never heard of before, must have had a special point, otherwise we would not have fallen into Ao Huwei's wise eyes. Well, let's do a favor once. Second brother, you will immediately go and ask about this person named Taishi Ci. As soon as there is news, you can send someone to tell General Huwei." Gongsun Zan ordered.
"Yes, I'll take someone to inquire about the news." Gongsun Yue replied.
Just when the Gongsun Zan and his brothers sent people to search for Taishi Ci according to Ao Lie's entrustment, Ao Lie was not idle either. He sent a few wise soldiers, riding fast horses contributed by the Wuhuan people, to Donglai, Qingzhou day and night, and told these soldiers to invite Taishi Ci's mother, that is, the old lady of Taishi, to Youbeiping safely. Ao Lie knew that Taishi Ci was a famous filial son in history. As long as he could invite the old lady to live a stable and comfortable life, then he would not be far from Taishi Ci's return.
After finishing what he had done, Ao Lie became empty again and felt that he had nothing to do. Inadvertently, a beautiful figure emerged from his mind. He was dressed in plain clothes, not wearing any makeup, but was fascinating. Ao Lie murmured to himself in a low voice: "Yan'er, I miss you so much, you wait for me, and I will go to Luoyang to marry you in a few years."
It seemed that he heard Ao Lie's voice, and seemed to have a heart-to-heart relationship. Cai Yan, who was playing the piano in Cai Mansion in Luoyang, stopped playing in a daze and looked up at the sky. His pair of autumn-like eyes slowly filled with lovesickness. "Husband, are you calling Yan'er? Yan'er heard that Yan'er was waiting for you to marry me."
Sighing, Cai Yan's eyes were filled with crystal-like tears, and it has been three years since we met. Although we often received letters from Ao Lie, Cai Yan was still full of lovesickness. Because the two were far apart, they could only rely on Hongyan to pass on letters to convey their longing for each other.
Two days later, Gongsun Yue rushed into the room of his elder brother Gongsun Zan: "Brother, the man named Taishi Ci has found it, but something happened. This man was arrogant and arrogant, and he did not want to come with me. He also said that if the little bully wanted to recruit him, he must be better than the guns and halberds in his hand."
"Oh? It seems that Ao Huwei's vision has been accurate again. I believe that such a proud person must have some tricks. Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter. I replied to Ao Huwei with a letter. As for whether or not it is his own business." Gongsun Zan shook his head and said.
In the hall of the Youbei Prefectural Office, Ao Lie looked at the letters sent by Gongsun Zan and couldn't help but smile and said, "This Taishi Ziyi is really proud."
Zhang Xiu, who was sitting beside him, had just returned from training the sergeant. When he heard Ao Lie's words, he asked curiously: "Taishi Ziyi? Is it the Donglai Taishi Ci the senior brother entrusted General Gongsun to look for?"
Ao Lie nodded and said, "Yes, it's him. Taishi Ci actually told General Gongsun that only by letting someone out of the gun and halberd in his hand can he truly accept someone."
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "What? Taishi Ci is too arrogant. Haven't you heard of the reputation of his senior brother Xiao Ba Wang? If you go and meet him now, you will definitely capture this person and present it to your senior brother's tent!" As he said that, Zhang Xiu stood up and wanted to walk out.
"Wait," Ao Lie quickly called Zhang Xiu, "Junior Brother Youwei, don't worry. I think this Taishi Ci is a man of high martial arts skills and wants to compete with someone. Well, someone will go to meet him in person. If everything goes well, there will be another tiger general under his command!"
Hearing that Ao Lie was about to go in person, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, you are also the famous general of Tiger Power, and Marquis of Baishengting. Why are you still serious with an unknown person?"
Ao Lie shook his head and said, "Youwei, you have to remember that there are many heroes among the wild grass. If the reputation is not obvious today, it does not mean that it will not be able to be influential in the world in the future. Five years ago, how many people in the world knew about it?"
After scratching his head, Zhang Xiu said a little embarrassedly: "Senior brother said that, hehe, I'm reckless again."
Ao Lie seriously persuaded: "Youwei, I have repeatedly emphasized to you that sooner or later you must lead the army alone. Remember not to act rashly in the future, and you must think twice before doing everything."
Zhang Xiu blushed and said, "Yes, my junior brother has written it down. I will definitely do it according to my senior brother's words in the future."
"Okay, go and prepare quickly. You and someone will meet Donglai Taishici later." Seeing that Zhang Xiu had some insights, Ao Lie stopped exploring and instead asked Zhang Xiu to prepare first.
Afterwards, Ao Lie and Zhang Xiu led a dozen blood-killing camp Ying Rui and rode their horses towards western Liaoning.
After more than three days of trekking, at noon, Ao Lie and his group arrived at the gate of the Liaoxi Prefect's Mansion. It happened that Gongsun Yue was going out to do business. When he saw Ao Lie coming in person, he hurriedly came over and said, "Gongsun Yue greeted General Huwei."
Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, pulled Gongsun Yue's arm and smiled, "All of you are old acquaintances, so the second general doesn't have to be polite. I would like to thank your brothers for helping to find Taishi Ci."
Gongsun Yue waved his hand and said, "General Huwei is so serious. Our brothers admire the general's bravery and wisdom. If you can help the general, we will never refuse. Please come in and ask." While speaking, he led Ao Lie and others into the mansion.
A servant had already jogged in and reported to Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan immediately came out. After seeing Ao Lie and others, Gongsun Zan's face was filled with sincere smiles: "General Tiger Power is here, and Zan is missing the welcome."
Ao Lie looked at this man with true temperament and felt a little more conflicted. Historically, Gongsun Zan rebelled against Liu Yu because of his different political views in the future, and set up an ambush to kill Liu Yu. He was his father-killing enemy. However, Gongsun Zan was full of enthusiasm for him and had no conflict with Liu Yu. He also admired Gongsun Zan's character very much. Could this be the butterfly effect brought by his time travel? No matter what, he could never allow anyone to hurt his father, but he was reluctant to kill Gongsun Zan, a honest and straightforward man. Perhaps it would be a good choice to take Gongsun Zan under his command?
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Ao Lie bowed and said, "What did General Gongsun say? You and I are both old acquaintances. They only talk about personal relationships, regardless of official positions. If General Gongsun does not abandon him, he will just call Mo Han."
Gongsun Zan was a cheerful person. When he heard Ao Lie's words, he laughed and said, "Okay, that's all, I'll be so proud. Brother Mo Han, please come in there!"
The group came to the hall and took a seat. After sitting down, Gongsun Zan asked with a smile: "I guess Brother Mo Han came for the sake of the matter of Donglai Taishici?"
Ao Lie responded with a smile: "That's right, I came here for this matter. It's thanks to General Gongsun's brothers, who found out about Taishici's whereabouts so quickly."
Gongsun Zan said straightforwardly: "Brother Mo Han, don't always come General Gongsun. General Gongsun has gone. From now on, I will call you Mo Han, and you will call me brother, okay?"
Ao Lie bowed and said, "Since Brother Gongsun's orders are given, Lie obeys the order."
Gongsun Zan smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's right. As for Taishi Ci you mentioned, he lives in a wooden house not far from the city."
Ao Lie stood up and said, "Since that's the case, it's not appropriate to go. Please send someone to lead the way. Lie will go and meet him now."
"My brother Mo Han is really talking quickly. Well, the two brothers will accompany my brother to meet Donglai Taishici!"
After leaving Liaoxi County City, the group rode their horses eastward. Halfway through, Gongsun Zan looked at Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse where Ao Lie sat down on his divine horse and said enviously: "My brother's mount is really a once-in-a-lifetime BMW. This horse is snow-white all over, with only a three-inch crescent-shaped golden mane left in the middle of his forehead, and a long mane under his neck looks like a lion. If you read it correctly, this BMW should be a descendant of the Western Regions King Horse, right?"
Ao Lie smiled and said, "Brother Gongsun is indeed very eye-catching! This shiny dragon horse is a descendant of the King of the Western Regions. It was a gift from Lie when he was eight years old. What? Brother Gongsun also likes this horse?"
Gongsun Zan sighed and said, "As a general, I naturally hope to have a good horse. Many times, the loyalty of war horses is much more reliable than that of people."
After nodding with deep emotion, he stretched out his hand to touch the long mane of Yexue Dragon Horse. Ao Lie said, "This horse is given by his grandfather. Lie dare not give it to Brother Gongsun privately. Let's do this. Among the 10,000 war horses sent by the Wuhuan people a few days ago, there were a few good horses. Turning back, Lie asked someone to pick out the best one and send it to Brother Gongsun."
Zhang Xiu interrupted and said, "It's not bad. A few days ago, I saw a horse, no worse than the white crane that was sitting down. I gave it to General Gongsun, but BMW gave it to heroes."
After hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Gongsun Zan's face was full of joy. Along the way, Gongsun Zan had long seen the white crane sitting down on Zhang Xiu. Although it was not as good as Ao Lie's Zhaoye Xue Dragon Horse, it was also a good horse for thousands of miles.
Ao Lie saw the joy on Gongsun Zan's face and felt that this was an opportunity to resolve the rebellion between Gongsun Zan and his father Liu Yu in the future. So he said, "When someone returns to Youbeiping, I will ask Junior Brother Youwei to select the good horse and select five other good horses to send to Brother Gongsun, so that Brother Gongsun will also choose one."
Gongsun Yue, who was standing beside him, heard this and quickly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for your kind gift from General Huwei!"
Just as everyone was joking, a wooden house made of thick wooden boards appeared in everyone's sight. Pointing to the wooden house, Gongsun Yue said, "Please look at General Huwei, it is Taishici's residence."
Upon hearing this, Ao Lie strangled Zhao Yexue's dragon horse, sat on the horse and looked at the wooden house for a while, then turned over and dismounted, took the reins, and walked towards the wooden house.
Seeing Ao Lie's actions, the group was surprised. What methods does this Donglai Taishi Ci have? The famous general of Tiger Power, Ao Lie, who is worthy of the famous today, walks on foot to show respect?
The door of the wooden house was pushed open with a creaking sound, and a young man with a tiger-backed and bear-beared waist and an eight-foot-long body emerged from the wooden house. He was about twenty years old, and he was about the same age as Zhang Xiu.
The young man was carrying a long spear in his hand, a pair of short halberds behind his back, and a large bow on his waist. Since he walked out of the wooden house, the young man has been standing there and staring at Ao Lie.
Under his gaze, Ao Lie led the horse to his front step by step and asked loudly: "Are you Donglai Taishici?" The young man replied loudly: "Yes, it's Donglai Taishici, who are you?"
Gongsun Yue, not far behind Ao Lie, angrily scolded: "Bold! How dare you be rude to General Huwei and Marquis of Baishengting!"
Hearing Gongsun Yue's angrily rebuked, a hint of astonishment appeared on Taishici's face, then a look of disdain appeared, and said proudly: "I thought that General Huwei was famous in Youzhou and must be an amazing person. When I saw him today, I was disappointed. Is there no one in my great man? He actually made a yellow-haired boy gain such a great reputation! He was so arrogant that he called himself a little bully, but he laughed to death."
Ao Lie said lightly: "Ambition is not about being old. When you invited someone to come, you once said that as long as you defeat the gun and halberd in your hand, you will throw it under someone's command. Is this true?"
Taishici curled his lips disdainfully and said, "A real man can't catch him if he says anything! As long as you can defeat a certain gun and a certain life, it will be yours in the future! I'm afraid that you, a yellow-haired child, will not even be able to catch a certain gun!"
Ao Lie stopped talking, turned over the horse and waved towards Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu understood and took off the spear hanging on the horse's back and threw it towards Ao Lie. Ao Lie reached out to catch the spear, pointed the tip of the spear diagonally on the ground, stretched out his empty left hand, and waved to Taishi Ci.
