Cangwu County is 1,500 kilometers away from the imperial capital Luoyang. According to the fastest 60 miles per day, it will take at least fifty days, which does not include crossing the river and staying on rainy days. Therefore, it will be smooth to arrive in Luoyang in May.

However, the convoy needs to stay in Yingchuan, and Liu Wen's father Liu Tao settled in Yingchuan.

Since Liu Wen has only visited Shi Xie twice in the years since she married Shi Xie. The last time was seven years ago, when Shi Xie returned to her hometown to visit her relatives, she stayed in Yingchuan and had a few days together.

Liu Tao has no son, so he cares a lot about Liu Wen. Fortunately, Shi Xie is only thirty years old and has a certain reputation in the literary world and officials. Otherwise, according to Liu Tao's hot temper, he would definitely come to the door to educate Shi Xie, how could his daughter follow an unknown person?

Over the years, Liu Wen and Liu Tao have communicated with each other. Liu Tao knew that his youngest grandson was very fast in his studies. Sometimes he could hear the traveling merchants talking about the Qilin son of the Jiaozhou scholar, who was only six or seven years old, was familiar with Confucian classics, able to write poems and essays, and could be called "Ganluo descending to the earth."

At first, Liu Tao didn't believe it very much, but after listening to it for a long time, he naturally became concerned, and finally reached the point of obsession.

Even if he wanted to give the right to teach the Jiaozhou Heshi to rob the Zhinu, if it were not for his inconvenience in legs and feet and was not suitable for traveling far, he would have been very likely to succeed.

You should know that Liu Tao could make a famous Confucian celebrity all over the world. During the reign of Emperor Heng of Han, he repeatedly refused Liu Zhi's recruitment, and he was devoted to studying and was not interested in the intrigues and deceptions in the officialdom.

Therefore, the "Zuo Family Spring and Autumn" is the best "Spring and Autumn" in the world. Every year, there are countless scholars who want to worship under Liu Tao's disciples. If they were accepted as a closed disciple by Liu Tao since childhood, they would be fine when they became officials.

This is how literati are. You brag me, I brag you, and to the end, there is only the ability to brag.

The group walked all the way, with the first five carriages sitting in, and the back was filled with goods.

The two carriages given to Liu Tao were all very attentive and elegant small items, such as small screens, sandalwood pen holders, etc. The carriage behind was the home of the brothers Shi Qian and Shi Kun, and the last carriage was brought to Luoyang to Shi Xie.

More than a hundred civilian guards and family generals were carefully trained by the scholars. When the barbarians resisted, they went to the battlefield and had human blood on their bodies.

Such a group of people is very intimidating. It is still very easy to save the group from the predicament if they are robbed all over the mountains and the robbers.

The guards who guard Zhinu and his group this time were named Deng Bo and Uncle Wen. They were very unfamiliar with their names, but don't underestimate them.

Deng Bo is now twenty-six, with the name Weixian. His son is the famous Deng Zhi, an important and loyal minister in the late Shu Han Dynasty. He was a general for more than 20 years. He was honest and had never managed his private property. His wife often went hungry. He was the descendant of Deng Yu, a famous official in the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, Deng Zhi has not been born yet and has been developing towards uncertain factors.

Manjushri is twenty-seven, with his name as Yuntao, and he has no reputation. His younger brother is Hou Wenpin, a later generation Cao Jun, who was born at this time, four years older than Zhinu.

As for why it appeared in the convoy of Zhinu and his group, we have to start with Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong’s success since he came to Jiaozhou is more exciting than a storytelling, and he is definitely the protagonist.

Moreover, Wei Lang originally went to persuade him, but he didn't expect to directly get a military Sima, who was in charge of a thousand people.

These things were not what Huang Zhong said. Wei Lang wrote a letter home and spread in the Nanyang area.

When my friends who were a ranger with Huang Zhong and Wei Lang heard that it was amazing. Everyone used to be the same and worked hard to become an official.

And you, Huang Zhong and Wei Lang, were silent and became the captain and Sima in less than half a year.

Therefore, the band of rangers thought that it would be impossible to survive like this, and it would be better to go to Jiaozhou to join Huang Zhong and the others. Judging from their past relationship, they might be able to recommend it.

The group of people came here, but they thought that they would become benevolent without success, and their money was only enough for Jiaozhou.

When Huang Zhong saw them, the group was in a down-and-out life and had a few days to be hungry.

After all, Huang Zhong and Wei Lang are military representatives of the Shi family, and they are not something that ordinary people can see.

Huang Zhong didn't care at all. After hugging several people, he invited them to have a good meal.

The next day, he introduced his group to Shiyi and others.

Since it was brought by Huang Zhong, Shi Yi was very proud of his face. After seeing each other, he would just follow Huang Zhong in the future. Anyway, the gold would shine everywhere.

Anyway, Huang Zhong and Shiyi are now in Cangwu County, so it’s better to follow the normal promotion process.

So the group joined Huang Zhong's command and started as the sergeant. After two years of development, they basically reached the position of the squad leader, which was very fast.

In addition to Deng Bo and Manjushri, there is also a relatively outstanding person named Deng Ping, whose courtesy name is Yunshan, and who is 27 years old. Now he has been promoted to the position of Military Sima.

Originally, when Zhinu went on a long trip, Huang Zhong said that he would follow him and act as a guard because he had vowed under his mother before that he would go wherever Zhinu went.

However, now he is in an important position and it is impossible for him to abandon all the people who follow Zhinu to travel far away. Even if Zhinu agrees, Shici also disagrees, so he doesn't agree to bet on a lieutenant, leaving as he says, and is not convinced of the interests of the Shi family.

Zhinu was persuaded and finally convinced Huang Zhong. If it were Wenshu and Deng Bo to follow him, Huang Zhong promised that as long as they could return safely with Zhinu, they would be promoted to military Sima.

The two happily accepted the order, directly retained their military status, and actually followed Zhinu as an escort.

The group set out from Cangwu, entered Lingling County on the shortest route, passed Changsha County, Xiangyang County, Nanxiang County, and Yiyang County, and arrived at the first stop of this trip, Yingchuan County.

Cross Jingzhou and enter Yuzhou.

The group walked directly from February 18th to April 28th, and arrived in Yingchuan. Liu Tao's residence was in Liujia Village, ten miles away from Yingyin County.

The people in this village are basically from the Liu family. According to their bloodline, they are really descendants of the Han Dynasty.

Because Liu Tao counted upwards, he was the second son of Liu Bo, King Zhen of Jibei, King Liu Chang, Huainan, Western Han Dynasty.

The convoy and the group stopped directly on the bluestone slab outside the door of Liu's mansion. Liu Wen sorted out her wrinkled clothes, and got off the car with the help of her maid.

Zhinu had long been replaced by Cuiyun in a blue and green regular dress, and had two buns with big bowls on his head. Perhaps he was trained by a large family and was born with a sense of confidence.

The arrival of Zhinu and his group of people also attracted the attention of a group of people. After all, in the Central Plains, there is such a big show that he thought the county magistrate or governor was about the same.

However, the women and children who got out of the car made people imagine the identity of Zi Nu and his group.

In addition to the people on the roadside, there are a group of poems and essays at the door of the Liu Mansion all year round. If you want to ask Liu Tao to comment, they often hand over the famous thorns from the side door, and then wait for it. In a year, only a few people can successfully enter the Liu Mansion and get Liu Tao's personal comments. That's enough for them to brag.

Many young students or poor families want to take shortcuts, so they want to gain Liu Tao's favor and recommendation through this method.

You should know that more than ten years ago, a scholar from Jiaozhou successfully entered the Liu Mansion in this way, was accepted as a disciple by Liu Tao, and married his only daughter.

Liu Wen was about to take Zhinu to call the door, but she hadn't seen him for many years, so she must call the door herself.

However, Shi Qian and Shi Kun bowed:

"Auntie, let Qian and Kun do it for you."

Liu Wen nodded. Shi Qian and Shi Kun were about to step forward, but were stopped by the scholars waiting on both sides.

"Little brother, you have to come first and then come. You are not in line with the rules."
