Chapter 70

Winter comes quietly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth year of Zhongping.

Everyone in the world has their own busy affairs, and Cheng Yuanzhi is planning for a rainy day.

On the third day of the first lunar month (188), Cai Yan once again met Wei Zhongdao who came to visit his father.

Different from when he left a few months ago, Wei Zhongdao at this time is haggard, with sunken eye sockets, wearing thick fur, and walking staggeringly, if there is no book boy beside him to help him, it would be difficult for him to take a step.

The whole person looks like a candle in the wind, as if it will go out when the wind blows.

If you only look at the face and not the clothes, no one will think that this is just a 20-year-old young man.

Cai Yan opened his mouth, too shocked to speak.

Wei Zhongdao saluted Cai Yong tremblingly, stayed for a while, and with the support of the book boy, took his leave and left.

Cai Yong stood at the entrance of the middle hall, looked at his disciple's back with hazy old eyes, and sighed long.

What a pity.

Cai Yan was suddenly very glad that the other party gave up on her.

She felt that the "bad brother" next door was better, with a great body, which could bring her endless fun and a sense of security.

The only bad thing is that it is a bit bad, and she always eats her tofu.

After seeing off Wei Zhongdao, Cai Yan walked through the small gate to the next door.

She hasn't seen her senior brother for several days.

Now, all the servants of the Yuan family have acquiesced that Cai Yan is half the mistress, and no one will stop her from going anywhere in the entire mansion. Besides, she can order them anytime and anywhere.

As for why it is half of the heroine instead of the whole, it is because the two are not married yet.

But it must be sooner or later.

Cai Yan also thought so, so she came here very calmly, as calmly as if she was at her own home.

In the isolated backyard, Cheng Yuanzhi emerged from a small dark room with closed doors and windows, disheveled and smelling of earth.

Seeing Cai Yan standing in front of her, she widened her girlish eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

Cheng Yuanzhi grabbed her little hand and dragged her into the small dark room...

It was very dark inside, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Cai Yan screamed, hugged Cheng Yuanzhi's arms tightly, and shrank into a ball.

She wasn't afraid that her senior brother would do something shameful to her in the dark...

The relationship between the two has been affirmed by his father Cai Yong. Since they will become husband and wife sooner or later, Cai Yan is naturally not afraid of what will happen next. Not only is he not afraid, but he also has a hint of reserved expectation.

She screamed because she was afraid of the dark.

Thanks to Cheng Yuanzhi always tricking her when he had nothing to do, she is much more courageous than when she just returned to Luoyang, and ordinary situations can no longer scare her.

It's just that the weakness of being afraid of the dark has never been improved.

In the darkness, unable to distinguish east from west, north from south, Cai Yan huddled in a warm and strong embrace, like a wombat, hugged tightly by a pair of strong and powerful arms, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. with.

a long time.

When the fresh and cold air blew past my ears again, it was already half an hour later.

Cai Yan opened his eyes cautiously, and found that he was in a pavilion on Beiman Mountain.

The cold wind howled, and the sky and the earth were vast.

Surrounded by remnant snow, the frozen Yellow River is like a giant yellow dragon, wandering quietly at the foot of the mountain without making any noise, and there is no more turbulence in spring, summer and autumn.

So, all her attention was put on the senior brother who was holding her, regardless of whether the man and the woman would kiss or not, she raised her head from his arms and asked softly:
"Brother, aren't we in the backyard, how did we get here?"

"It's so cold here."

"Don't stay here, okay..."

15-year-old Cai Yan was able to say such a thing, which surprised Cheng Yuanzhi.

She seems a little too precocious.


But this can't blame her, it is estimated that this is the result of his frequent flirting with her.

Cheng Yuanzhi put Cai Yan down, put his fox fur cloak on her, and hugged her to the back of the gazebo, where he hid beside a hole in the wooden house.


"True?" Cai Yan asked in surprise.

"Ah."

"To the East City Mansion?"

"Yes."

"It's more than a mile."

"It's not that far away."

"Brother, when did you dig it?"

"half year ago."

Cai Yan twitched her nostrils, bent her waist, and tried her best to look into the tunnel, but the black hole could not see the end.

It opened its mouth like a man-eating monster.

She couldn't imagine that she came out of here just now.

She quickly retracted her body and snuggled up to her senior brother, only then did she feel a little bit safe.

At this time, Sugai, wearing a straw hat, carrying a bow and arrow, holding a steel fork, and holding a pheasant in his hand, with a black knife pinned to his waist, turned out from behind the wooden house.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Yuanzhi was very relieved, because before the tunnel was dug, he let Su Gai stay here, and no one was allowed to approach the wooden house except him.

Kill those who get close!

Depending on the situation, the speed should be executed well.

Cai Yan was still puzzled, she still didn't know why her senior brother built this tunnel.

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't explain anymore.

People in this era have limited vision and cannot see the future trend.

And he was different.

He came from a later age and knew too many things. He just needs to push the boat lightly when the general trend is coming, and he can easily get everything he wants in the tide of history.


The tunnel was dug half a year ago, and it was only dug through a few days ago.

It wasn't until the moment the tunnel was dug through that Cheng Yuanzhi completely lost his worries.

However, the tunnel still needs to be widened, leveled, and reinforced.Before that, it was not possible to surpass others for the time being.

Otherwise, if the tunnel collapses when passing through, it will be buried alive.

So when he went back, he didn't take the tunnel anymore, he had to walk.

Because the whim when he came here has faded away without a trace, Cheng Yuanzhi already felt a little bit of fear at this time.

Fortunately, the tunnel did not collapse when we came.

In the backyard of the mansion, the working servants were changing shifts—the tunnel was dug by sixty servants divided into three shifts day and night.

After all, with a length of more than one mile, there is no way to complete the project quickly without working day and night.To be able to dig through within half a year is already the limit of these 60 people.

The tunnel is not wide, no amount of people can hold it.

Cheng Yuanzhi asked them to widen the passage, level the ground, and erect a "door"-shaped arch every one meter. Between the two door-shaped arches, put a piece of wood to support the soil layer on the top and both sides, so as to Anti-collapse.

Of course, the most important thing is confidentiality.

Fortunately, these servants are all domestic servants of the Yuan family, so they are reliable enough.


There are more than 500 people in the house, and there are two hundred servants, half of whom are men and half of whom are women.

The other 300 were strong soldiers selected by Sugai. They trained on weekdays and were responsible for protecting the safety of Fuchu.

At this time, Yuan Shu's voice sounded from outside:
"My dear brother? My dear brother! Where are you?"

"My dear brother, I know you are inside, if you don't come out, then I will come in!"

Cheng Yuanzhi frowned for no reason, why did Yuan Shu come at this time?It's evening now, he's not playing with his wife at home, what is he doing here?
While thinking, Yuan Shu had already walked in, followed by the black and hard Ji Ling.

Cheng Yuanzhi took a step forward, blocked his inquiring sight, grabbed his shoulder and pushed away.

Yuan Shu twisted his waist, slipped his shoulders, and slipped under Cheng Yuanzhi's armpit, making a gesture to enter the small dark room.

Cheng Yuanzhi stretched out half of his hand, paused for a moment, then quickly retracted, trying to suppress the urge to throw Yuan Shu out of the yard.

After a while, Yuan Shu came out without saying a word, waved his hand to retreat to Ji Ling, pulled Cheng Yuanzhi to the corner, and said solemnly:
"What are you doing, brother?"

"Be prepared."

"Brother, do you think there is a problem?"

"Have!"

"Where is the problem?"

"He Jin."

"He Jin?"

"Well, God knows this matter, you know it, I know it, I didn't even tell it at the beginning, Gonglu, you have to keep it a secret."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu was somewhat confused.

In his cognition, even if Liu Hong's health deteriorated day by day, how could He Jin, the great general who controls the world's troops, die?

Who else can kill He Jin?
Even if Liu Hong died, as long as He Jin lived, the Liu family could at least survive for a while.

This is a fact recognized by everyone.

What's more, although the world is chaotic, it has not reached the point of being out of control.

Yuan Shu shook his head, frowned and thought for a long time, but he still didn't think any accident would happen to He Jin.

But after seeing the attitude of authenticity and Cheng Yuanzhi, his mind wavered.
