Chapter 75 Invitation
Early autumn, Chang'an, the air is clear and refreshing.
The Ding Mansion in Jieshuipi still looks very lively from a distance.
However, the back house was deserted, and there seemed to be less of the noise and laughter of the past.
Ding Chen and Guo Jia were talking outside the house, with black and white chess pieces, and stars spread on the chessboard, intertwined and scattered, and it was difficult to solve the problem.
In terms of chess power, Ding Chen is not very clever.
Fortunately, Guo Jia's chess skills can only be described as ordinary, so two bad chess players get together, so naturally they meet the opponent.
"Fengxiao, your chess is indeed ordinary."
"Huchengting Hou, what he said is like how clever your chess is."
"It's always better than you!"
After Ding Chen said that, he was proud.
Getting along with Guo Jia and getting along with Jia Xu are completely different feelings.
In contrast, Jia Xu is a little colder and gives people an inexplicable sense of awe; while Guo Jia seems much easier-going, can be played no matter what jokes, can talk about any topic, and even a little unspoken and even more accompanying.
Ding Chen likes to chat with Guo Jia, he is very casual and does not feel too much pressure.
"Fengxiao, this time Ma Teng and Han Sui suddenly raised an army. What do you think?"
Guo Jia took advantage of Ding Chen's distracted speech and secretly took a piece from the chessboard, then pretended to be nothing and hid it in his palm.
"How can I read it, but two words: strange."
"oh?"
"I don't know much about Ma Teng, so I don't have a good review.
But Han Sui...haha, this person is sinister and very scheming.
Has Huchengting Hou heard that Han Sui was heartbroken and elusive. This man cannot get up early without profit. This sudden rebellion must be strange. I don’t believe it. If there is no benefit, he will never be like this."
"Why do you feel like you are talking about Wang Yun?"
"Wang Yun?"
Guo Jia smiled, looked up at Ding Chen, and said, "Ziyang, you have no way out for this chess."
“Huh?”
Only then did Ding Chen notice that the white chess pieces on the chessboard were indeed in bad shape.
No, I just now...
Ding Chen suddenly woke up and pointed at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, you are cheating again."
"Haha, in fact, you and I know that Han Sui's uprising will definitely have something to do with Wang Yun.
Han Sui was also from a poor family and wanted to be recognized by Qingliu, but because of his poor background and no background, although he had outstanding abilities, he was still unable to accept Qingliu and could only be favored by Liangzhou... However, this person was able to go from a county official to a county prefect, and his methods of pursuing his camp were evident. Therefore, it is not surprising that he colluded with Wang Yun."
As Guo Jia spoke, he reached out and pulled the chessboard and broke up the game.
Naturally, Ding Chen would not really care about these things with Guo Jia.
He was attracted by Guo Jia's words and nodded deeply: "In this way, will the prince's actions be faster?"
"I believe that there will be no situation in these few days."
"In this case, we need to be prepared."
"Don't worry about Huchengting Hou's resignation, the camp is ready.
I ordered Zi Lian to lead a cavalry. Yesterday, I left Chang'an and headed to Fengling Ferry... When we escape from Chang'an, we will inevitably advance eastward. But there are three passes to Mianchi, Xin'an and Hangu, and passing through is not easy. So we first cross the river from Fengling Ferry, enter Hanoi, and then cross the river from Xiaopingjin. At that time, the lord will send people to Xiaopingjin to respond. As long as we can cross Xiaopingjin, the task will be completed. At that time, even if there are pursuers, there is no need to worry."
After hearing this, Ding Chen couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
Previously, he also thought about how to meet with Cao Cao.
That damn Hangu Pass was like a natural chasm, which made him feel very troubled.
Although Zhang Xiu guarded Hangu Pass, it was not easy for Ding Chen to pass. After all, the one who made the decision was Zhang Xiu's father Zhang Ji. He was a person who was not easy to deal with. Even Ding Chen was not sure that he could pass Hangu successfully.
Now, the problem is solved!
Crossing the river is an excellent choice, and it can be said that it is bypassing the most dangerous pass.
It seems that Guo Jia and Cao Cao have been prepared for a long time.
This is also good, and it will be less trouble and Ding Chen is happy.
“Tonight, I will go to the trap camp.
After that, Huchengting Hou was needed to stay here alone to attract attention.
Please be careful. Once there is turmoil in Chang'an, you must not hesitate and go directly to Baqiao to meet us!"
"Well, don't worry, Fengxiao, I will be careful."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In this way, Guo Jia quietly left Ding's mansion that night and headed for the trap camp.
Ding Chen was alone in the mansion. Fortunately, he was accompanied by Hu Cheer, otherwise he would inevitably feel lonely.
There was nothing wrong all night. The next day, Ding Chen got up early in the morning, punched a fist in the courtyard, and then practiced a set of swordsmanship. He gained a lot when fighting with Wang Yue. At least, he understood the mystery of what it means to lift weights easily. Although he was exploring it himself, he had more clues than before. I believe that there will be a breakthrough soon.
At this time, Ding Chen's injuries had basically recovered.
However, to the outside world, he still seems to be inconvenient to move. When he goes out occasionally, he is also supported by Hu Cheer, giving people a feeling of weakness.
This also made him quite quiet these days, and Dong Zhuo even seemed to have forgotten him.
After practicing the sword, Ding Chen changed his clothes and returned to the room.
He was about to lie down to read a book, but suddenly he saw Hu Cheer coming hurriedly.
"Lord, there are people from the Prime Minister's Mansion outside who come to deliver the letter, saying that the Prime Minister asked you to come and talk to him."
Ding Chen was lying lazily. He heard Hu Cheer's words and sat up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.
"The Prime Minister is looking for me?"
"yes!"
"Have you ever explained why I was looking for me?"
"The man didn't say much, but only sent Zhang Mingla over and Prime Minister Yan summoned him."
Ding Chen felt a little nervous when he was panicked.
Since his injury, Dong Zhuo has been significantly alienated from him.
Not only did he expel the camp, but he even had no contact during the dozens of days of resting, except for sending people to visit him at the beginning. Ding Chen naturally understood the reason. But to be honest, he did not resent Dong Zhuo. Anyone would be afraid of such a thing, let alone King Hongnong, which was a thorn in Dong Zhuo's heart.
But today, Dong Zhuo suddenly sent someone to invite him, which caught Ding Chen off guard.
Could it be that Dong Zhuo noticed something?
In Ding Chen's heart, it seemed like fifteen buckets of water were fed, up and down.
But he also knew that he could not refuse this matter.
After all, he is still under Dong Zhuo's nose, and Dong Zhuo is just sending someone to invite him and has no other means. Even if he is suspicious in his heart, he will at most just suspicion. If he doesn't go, it will make Dong Zhuo's suspicion worse and more dangerous.
"Master, why don't you make an excuse to refuse?"
Hu Cheer, as a close friend, was naturally clear about Ding Chen's plan.
So he made his own suggestions.
Ding Chen shook his head, "If you refuse, it might be more troublesome.
Well, since the Prime Minister invites you, you will go on a journey. If there is any danger, you will have to fight for a bloody path."
"Don't worry, lord, Hu Cheer is here, if you dare to harm lord, Hu Cheer will kill him."
Hu Cheer's words made Ding Chen laugh.
"So, then I'll ask you for my safety...hahaha."
Chapter completed!
