After traveling east for more than ten miles, it was getting dark, and the group arrived at Hucheng Pavilion west of Juan County.

This place was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Now hundreds of years have passed. Although the ancient city has long been incomplete, the pavilion was built on the basis of the ruins, so it is named after it.

According to the pavilion style of this dynasty, the pavilion house is built on a platform opposite to each hundred steps in all directions. There are wooden pillars on the house, about meter high, and there are also large boards running out of the columns, which are symbolized by the solemn and solemn Huan Biao, which is also the most prominent sign of the pavilion. There is also a wooden pole in the open space in front of the pavilion courtyard, but it is far lower than the pavilion. The long board connected to the bottom but parallel to the ground is collectively called "Gui Biao", which is used as a tool to roughly record time during the day.

Zhang Meng led his horse to the edge of Guibiao, reached out to block the drizzle on his forehead, looked at the wooden plaque on the courtyard gate, turned his head and smiled, "Ming Gong, finally arrived at the pavilion and spread it."

Liu Dai, who was riding a horse behind, humming, his face full of unhappiness.

Just half a day ago, Zhang Meng successfully found his beloved concubine Chun Ji, and called Shi A and Shan Zhong as helpers, lifted the car that had fallen to the ground for him, and took out all the luggage that was pressed under the car. He originally wanted to ride a car with Chun Ji for the time being, but he did not expect that there was a female relative who followed Zhang Meng. In order to show his magnanimity, he could only give up the car and ride a horse, blowing wind and rain all the way, which was a pain he had never suffered in most of his life.

The new official took office, but he had not left Henan but was in trouble. Of course, his mood would not be much better.

When the pavilion leader heard about Liu Dai's identity, he quickly went out to greet him. He was walking alone, carrying a sword and a sword. Most of the pavilion soldiers accompanied him were wearing armor, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Unlike administrative units such as townships and villages, pavilions, which are both grassroots organizations, do not have the functions of managing production, educating the people, collecting taxes, etc., and are mainly responsible for catching thieves and catching thieves, maintaining basic public security within ten miles of the jurisdiction, and also undertake the task of receiving some posts. Therefore, it is not surprising that martial arts are set up in the pavilions.

The head of the pavilion was named Song Huai, and was in his early thirties. Wang Yu stepped forward and handed Liu Dai's seal and ribbon to Song Huai for inspection. Song Huai repeatedly confirmed that it was correct before waved his hand and signaled the pavilion soldiers to put down their weapons.

Wan Qian half-jokingly said, "I heard that Hucheng Pavilion is a big pavilion. It is better to see it at first sight than to hear it. It turns out to be extraordinary."

Song Huai bowed to Liu Dai and said, "The bandits have been rampant recently, and the roads are unstable. The situation is prohibited. Please ask the envoy to take care of you."

Liu Dai snorted coldly and beat the horse.

Zhang Meng said, "I'll also ask you to prepare clothes, meals, and wing rooms. I'll stay in the pavilion tonight."

Song Huai nodded in agreement, but when he saw Zhang Meng's appearance, he was stunned.

Zhang Meng asked, "Do you know me?"

Song Huai came to his senses and hurriedly said, "I was in a daze and was rude." As he said that, he called the pavilions to do things.

Zhang Meng helped Cai Yan get out of the car. Cai Yan's face was as usual, but her eyebrows were a little tired. Chun Ji poked her head out, frowned, and said coquettishly: "The car is too high." While holding the car shaft, she looked at Zhang Meng with a helpless expression, she aimed her eyes at Zhang Meng.

At this time, Shan Zhong, who was responsible for driving the car, turned around and smiled and said to Chun Ji: "The villain helped the wife get out of the car!"

When Chun Ji heard this, she couldn't deliberately refuse. Her hope was disappointed, so she could only bear it and give Shan Zhong a blank look.

The pavilion house of Hucheng Pavilion is a three-entrance courtyard with a gate open in the front of the front yard, with a hanging mountain top on top and a stable on both sides. The atrium consists of a main hall, a side school, a gatehouse and a van, and a van, which is a toilet. The van also has a van connecting pig circles and chicken basins, a van for cooking, a jail and a dungeon for temporarily detaining prisoners, a warehouse for storing utensils, a jail for storing utensils, a jail for storing cereals, etc.

There are clothes for those who come and go to change. Even though the style is simple, it is better than wet all over. Under Song Huai's arrangement, except for Cai Yan and Chun Ji, two female members who had been sitting in the car, the rest of the people first changed their clothes and put their luggage in the wing room, and then waited for dinner in the main hall together.

The four walls of the main hall are flat with white gray surfaces, smooth and hard. It is rainy and dull on the evenings, but there are many lights in the main hall, which reflect each other, so the bright hall is as bright as day.

Liu Dai was in a bad mood and sat on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. Wang Yu and Wan Qian sat on his side, far away from Zhang Meng, Shi A and Shan Zhong.

"Zhang Langjun, will Lingmei need to deliver meals later?"

The person who spoke was Lao Gui, the old man who Zhang Meng saved from the bandits earlier. As Liu Dai's servant, he was grateful for Zhang Meng's righteous act of saving himself and his lord, but he did not know the conflict between Zhang Meng and Liu Dai.

Zhang Meng smiled and said, "No need, the sister said she had no appetite just now, so she would have a rest tonight." He claimed to the public that Cai Yan was his cousin, and Liu Dai and others had few relationships with Zhang from Dunhuang, so they did not know the details and believed it.

Since Cai Yan left Luoyang, she has always been very depressed. Even though she did not show any regrets, it is natural for human beings to feel at a sudden change. Especially at the critical moment when Cai Yong was about to return home, she suddenly lost the opportunity to reunite with her father. The sadness and melancholy in her heart can be imagined.

Zhang Meng can understand Cai Yan's state of mind very well. For him, it is already difficult for Cai Yan to let go of everything without hesitation and escape with him resolutely, so he naturally won't ask for more.

The road ahead is vast, and what will happen in the future? The answer can only be delivered to time.

When Song Huai was still here, Zhang Meng walked slowly in the main hall and found that there were many portraits painted on the Ba Bridge paper on the wall facing south. The pavilion was usually located at a key traffic jam, so that while providing post trips, it was also combined with the function of maintaining public order, responsible for identifying pedestrians and arresting criminals who were fleeing.

These portraits are all sea capture list texts, which depict the appearance of wanted criminals and remember the characteristics of wanted criminals. If the prisoner has been arrested or died, it will not be torn off, and it will only cover the new ones. Therefore, the walls of the main hall are covered with portraits, which are numerous and thick, and even emit the smell of moldy paper.

Zhang Meng looked up a little and looked at a few posts. The descriptions were mostly about murder, robbery and other crimes. They were similar. After reading for a while, he felt bored and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Shi A and Shan Zhong suddenly waved to him secretly, with an intriguing look on their faces.

When I walked to the two of them, I looked up and saw two separate sea captains hanging here. On the left, I looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. Even if he simply outlined a few outlines, he still looked familiar. When I looked at the name of the wanted criminal, I was shocked. It turned out that the words "Cao Cao of Pei Kingdom" were written. Looking closely at the narrative of the list, it turned out that just a few days ago, Cao Cao refused the position of the cavalry captain appointed by the court and fled from Luoyang alone. The charges on the list were vague, and only wrote "indiscretion", which basically means that there is no need to worry about the crime you want to add.

Zhang Meng thought to himself: "Bao Xin, Yuan Shao fled one after another, and the power of the General's Mansion was destroyed. It was a matter of time before Cao Cao escaped. Unexpectedly, he actually had the same time as me." Still surprised, he glanced at the Bangwen on the right, and immediately shook his whole body, and instantly understood the reason why Shi A and Shan Zhong called him.

But I saw that the essay had a more familiar face painted on it, and the side was written with a red pen on it.
