Chapter 40 The Concubine

Liu Dai's additional request is simple, and Zhang Meng needs to protect the whole journey to Yanzhou. This shows that this senior official from the court, who was born in Confucian scholar, did have a great psychological shadow on the pursuit of the bandits.

Since Zhang Meng wanted to live and develop around Liu Dai, he had to ensure that his "lord" could take office smoothly and agreed without any further advice.

Wan Qianren is more kind and does not forget to remind him: "Zhang Langjun, it has been heard that Hedong is not peaceful recently, and bandits are rising. The thieves who came this time have excellent weapons and are almost the same as the official army. Perhaps they are involved with Baibo and Heishan, so don't be careless."

Zhang Meng heard about this incident during his time in Luoyang. The cause of the incident was roughly civil strife in the Southern Xiongnu. Some troops joined forces with the Baibo rebels to rage Hedong and other places. The area north of the Dahe River was already in chaos. The territory of the Heishan Army was not far from the Southern Xiongnu and Baibo Army. They also took advantage of the chaos to plunder everywhere. There were rumors that several Qu generals had led their troops across the Dahe River and penetrated into the capital and even the surrounding Dong, Chenliu and other counties.

Wang Yu shook his head and said, "What kind of tricks are Zhang Langjun? This is a steady journey."

Zhang Meng didn't care, but smiled: "Borrowing Wang Junji's words."

Liu Dai said at this time: "Langjun Zhang, you are also a descendant of a famous family. I was not good to be on duty safely in the capital? I had to go with me to suffer and suffer. I wonder what you think?" He seemed a little confused, after all, Zhang Meng appeared very suddenly.

Zhang Meng thought about it and answered briefly: "Isn't it the same for Gong Ming?"

Liu Dai was speechless immediately after saying this sentence.

Zhang Meng asked Liu Dai and others to wait on the spot, and rode a horse toward the direction Liu Dai indicated.

The rain fell and the road was muddy. Zhang Meng thought to himself: "The rain is very heavy and the road is difficult to move. I am riding a horse like this, let alone the full car used by women. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Fortunately, the car is not moving fast, so I can catch it as soon as possible. The bad thing is that if there are bandits pressing each other, Chun Ji's situation will inevitably be even more dangerous."

Not long after, obvious ruts appeared on the dirt road. Zhang Meng was overjoyed and urged his horse to become more anxious. He ran for a while. From a distance, a carriage was parked by the woods in front of him. Judging from its shape, it was undoubtedly full of cars.

Zhang Meng did not go forward immediately, but slowed down the horse speed. While advancing slowly, he carefully observed the situation around him. After confirming that no enemy was lurking in the dark, he jumped off his horse and walked closer with Jianluan.

Compared to Liu Dai's broken car, the carriage looked almost unscathed, quiet and steady in the rain.

There were green painted cloth in front and back of the carriage. Zhang Meng was alert and turned sideways to the side of the carriage, pulled out his sword, and gently lifted the painted cloth behind the carriage with the sword. In an instant, someone inside screamed.

Zhang Meng suddenly lifted up the painted cloth and saw a woman with a half-wool cloud, curled up tightly in a corner of the carriage, looking out with her eyes wide open, her face full of horror, as if it was Liu Dai's beloved concubine Chun Ji.

"Great, king, spare me, spare me! I'm lucky to have a bad life!" The woman trembled and begged repeatedly.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng hurriedly took his sword and saluted: "Madam, don't worry, Zhang Meng is not a bad person. He will come to pick up his wife back at the order of Mr. Liu."

"No, it's not a bad guy..." The woman was frightened and gasped for a few times, "It turned out that it was Liu Gong who sent you..." Then she gradually calmed down, put her fingers together and stroked her tall chest, and her complexion quickly recovered. Although she was still pale, her jade cheeks and cherry lips were indeed outstanding.

"What's your name?"

"I'm the next surname Zhang and Meng, and my courtesy name is Chengying."

Chun Ji asked, "Why haven't you seen you before?"

Zhang Meng said truthfully: "I just joined Mr. Liu today, so I was born in front of my wife."

Chun Ji seemed to have thought, and her beautiful eyes flowed, and she looked at Zhang Meng up and down. The voice had long disappeared. She suddenly became soft and soft: "I said that Liu Gong was surrounded by old guys, how could he suddenly give birth to a young man like you?" As she spoke, she sat upright and her close-fitting brocade outlined her plump and delicate figure.

Zhang Meng felt something was wrong and thought to himself: "This woman is charming by nature. No wonder Liu Dai was fascinated by her. How many of these beauties can be controlled by ordinary men? It is better not to have too much contact." So he turned his head slightly and saw that the car was empty in front of the car, and asked, "Where has the manhunt been?"

Chun Ji sighed and said, "Run away."

Zhang Meng said: "Run away?"

Chun Ji shook her head: "I originally wanted the husband to turn back to look for Mr. Liu, but the husband was as timid as a mouse. When he arrived here, he didn't care that the concubine had abandoned the car and ran away. The poor concubine didn't know how to drive and didn't dare to get out of the car. He could only wait here. Fortunately, the husband came in time, otherwise the concubine wouldn't know how to deal with it."

Zhang Mengying said: "From this situation, the bandits should not have chased you. This is a blessing in disgrace. Mrs. Liu is not far away, I will drive you back."

Chun Ji replied sweetly: "Thank you, my husband."

Zhang Meng didn't say much, tied the reins of the Red Rabbit to the side of the car, took a seat and drove back the same way.

On the way, Chun Ji asked Zhang Meng about Liu Dai's situation through the lacquer cloth. When she heard that Zhang Meng had used his own strength to eliminate two bandits and save Liu Dai in times of crisis, she couldn't help but praise: "The husband is really a hero. Liu Gong will definitely be very surprised to get the husband."

Zhang Meng sneered in his heart: "I'm afraid it's not enough surprise, but more than enough shock." Then he thought, "Since this woman is favored by Liu Dai, if I have her help to talk, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to deal with Liu Dai." At this point, he couldn't help but change his views on Chun Ji.

When Zhang Meng drove back to the spot, Liu Dai, Wan Qian and Wang Yu were sheltering from the rain under a big locust tree.

The car stopped, and Liu Dai only cared about Chunji and hurried into the car with his sleeves. Outsiders didn't know what was going on inside, but only heard the sound of laughter and fighting from time to time, which trembled the entire car.

Zhang Meng looked at Wan Qian and Wang Yu and felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Yu coughed lightly, looked at his face and said, "Liu Gong is arrogant and unruly, and he is indeed a celebrity."

Wan Qian looked at the carriage that was leaning in the mud for more than ten steps away, and sighed: "The carriage was damaged by the bandits and could not be taken. Do you want Liu Gong to take the position in a woman's car? This will definitely lead to ridicule."

Zhang Meng said: "I asked Mr. Liu to take a car for the time being. Zhongzhou and the counties are densely populated. There must be a Pavilion and Post Office not far away. Then change the car and the car."

Wang Yu said, "This is natural. What a man Liu Gong, how could he be punished by Xiao Xiao?" He said, "But there is still some luggage under the car. You have to lift the car to take it out..." As he said that, his eyes turned to Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng thought to himself: "You can just say some scenes, but in the end you don't even want to take the car down the mud and help the master to carry the car. You are not diligent in your four bodies, and you don't know how to distinguish between grains. You will talk big, referring to people like you who are false benevolent and righteous." However, for his own plan, he pretended to be calm and said, "Don't panic, I'll go find a helper."

"helper?"

Wan Qian and Wang Yu became obviously nervous.

Zhang Meng said: "All the disciples who are here are here, they are quite brave. With them, the bandits will not dare to invade the way."

The two of them felt relieved after hearing this.
