Chapter 52 In front of the Prefect’s Mansion

Liu Cang went straight from Ji County to Beidi County, taking the official road, and entered Bingzhou in two days.

But since entering Bingzhou, mountain roads appeared frequently, and some ravines and waterways were intertwined. Liu Cang got lost several times, and it took him two more days to find a section of the Great Wall.

Find this section of the city gate buildings in Bingzhou and follow the Great Wall all the way south.

This Great Wall separated Bingzhou from Jizhou and Sili. It started from Wuyuan in the border area, crossed from the north to the south, and finally turned west and extended to Anding and Longxi, forming a defense line for the Han Dynasty against the barbarians who crossed the border.

Liu Cang's destination, Beidi County, was in the south of this defense line, which belonged to Liangzhou and was close to Sili.

No wonder the ancients said that a journey of thousands of miles was a journey of thousands of miles. Liu Cang originally thought that it was just diagonally crossing from Hebei to Shaanxi, but it turned out that the journey was far more difficult and demanding than he imagined.

He didn't dare to leave the Great Wall and run around. When he approached Beidi County, Liu Cang felt that if he followed the official road of Zhuo County, he would have gone directly to Luoyang. It was really in vain to go to Huangfu Song to hand over the book.

Well, Liu Cang couldn't say clearly what Cai Yong's intention was to hand over the book to Huangfu Song, but the reason why he gritted his teeth and persisted all the way was definitely what Cai Yong said - a meeting gift from Huangfu's uncle.

As a result, after running for half a month, the horse lost a lot of weight, and Liu Cang's body also became stinky with urine and sweat.

Well, it's so delicious. The golden eagle can already stand on Liu Cang's shoulders and fly with the horse from time to time. This golden eagle has been turned into a loyal spiritual beast by Liu Cang, but the two paparazzi in Liu Cang's arms are more troublesome.

The paparazzi were too small to run around with the horses. They were furry and cute at first. When taking a break to let the horses go, Liu Cang also chewed some minced meat for them and fed them well.

As a result, after a few days, the two paparazzi became closer to Liu Cang, but Liu Cang almost couldn't help but want to roast them on the road when they peed into his arms from time to time.

Beidi County is governed by Gaoling, which belongs to Liangzhou and is located in Feng Yi. When he first entered Beidi County, thinking about the embarrassing journey, Liu Cang inexplicably had the illusion that he had reached his own land.

The original plan to cross Bingzhou was almost equivalent to crossing vertically. He learned a lot along the way and saw some nomads who had integrated into the Han Dynasty. Seeing Gaoling again, Liu Cang found a ditch and jumped into it to wash himself off without taking off his clothes.

.

The odor of urine and sweat was gone, but the smell of soil and sweat was still hard to cover up. There was really no other way, so Liu Cang could only bite the bullet and go into the city to find Huangfu Song's mansion.

It is said that Gaoling is the governor of Beidi County, which is not far from Chang'an. Huangfu Song is stationed here to intimidate the Qiang people in the north. Liu Cang went to the city to inquire about it and found out that Huangfu Song directly arranged his residence in the prefect's mansion.

The Prefect's Mansion is easy to find, but many passers-by on the road look at Liu Cang sideways.

Liu Cang was now in a miserable state, with disheveled hair, an animal skin on his shoulders, and a large eagle eagle standing on his shoulders. Even though he looked like a Han teenager, he still attracted questioning from the patrolling city guards.

After two rounds of cross-examination and two passes to prove his identity, Liu Cang suppressed his anger and finally found himself in front of the prefect's mansion under the questioning eyes of the Han army.

There is a solid wall outside, a group of houses inside, a large pillared porch, and a large open door. There is a bluestone staircase below, and there are four gatekeepers standing under the staircase.

"Zhibu!" He yelled in a low voice.

In front of the prefect's mansion, the armored sergeant stopped Liu Cang as he approached.

Turning over and dismounting, the golden eagle on his shoulder suddenly flapped its wings twice and stood upright. Liu Cang walked ten steps away from the guarding sergeant and stopped getting closer. Because the other side had already prepared a gun, Liu Cang stood far away.

"Thank you, Cai Yong, the son of Cai Bojie. As ordered by his father, he came to pay a visit to General Huangfu." Liu Cang said to the sergeant, clasping his fists.

"..." After a moment of silence, the four sergeants looked Liu Cang up and down. The questioning looks on their faces made Liu Cang's brows jump.

"Go and report, I will be waiting here. If important matters are delayed, you will be responsible!"

"Chirp~~!" Following Liu Cang's rough voice, the golden eagle on Liu Cang's shoulder pressed down and let out a whistle-like cry.

The eagle's cry made the sergeant's eyes freeze. A sergeant who was familiar with the eagle had already touched the saber on his waist. Liu Cang reached out and touched the paw of the golden eagle. The golden eagle relaxed its figure again, and then several sergeants relaxed and looked at each other.

There was no communication. Several sergeants nodded tacitly. One sergeant turned around and walked towards the house. The remaining three sergeants looked at Liu Cang, still wary in their eyes.

Cai Yong, he should be a great Confucian, right? Is the son of a great Confucian so virtuous? He is not as handsome as the rough guys in our frontier army. But this eagle seems to have been well trained, so we should be more cautious. The guard sergeant thought to himself.

"Sir, wait a moment." A sergeant said to Liu Cang.

"Yeah." Liu Cang nodded. He also knew that his image was not good. After all, it was his first time traveling far away. He was in a hurry and lacked some experience.

"Who is pretending to be here? When did Mr. Cai have a son?" Not long after the sergeant entered the palace disappeared, a young male voice filled with dissatisfaction and doubt came from the direction of the gate.

Wearing a brocade robe, martial arts boots, a Han sword on his waist, and elegantly tied hair, a young man in his early twenties walked out of the prefect's house. His eyes were patrolling and he focused on Liu Cang, looking up and down.

.

The young man's eyes were unkind, and Liu Cang frowned. The paparazzi in his arms happened to poke his head out, and licked Liu Cang's neck with his little tongue. When Liu Cang stopped him, the young man had already walked down the steps.

"Huh? Wolf-bear beast? Xianbei people?!" Seeing the paparazzi in Liu Cang's arms, the young man frowned in thought and questioned for a moment.

"You're a fucking Xianbei!" The young Xianbei's pronunciation was very strong, and Liu Cang's suppressed anger suddenly rose up, and he retorted.

"Hey~! Master, please retreat!" Following the young man's question, the three guarding sergeants around him drew their sabers at the same time, stepped forward, blocked in front of the young man, and pointed their sabers at Liu Cang.

Xianbei people, if there are many Huns who have surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Xianbei can be said to be the biggest enemy of the Han border forces today.

Xianbei also has several factions, but all of them are villains who have been harassing the Han Dynasty all year round. These sergeants heard the young people calling Liu Cang Xianbei, but they subconsciously regarded Liu Cang as an enemy.

"You kid, you actually hurt people with your words!" Liu Cang scolded his mother. The young man was also angry, but he still stretched out his hand to stop the sergeant.

The north is located between Liang and Bin, the south is the Chang'an Central Plains, the north belongs to the Qiang and Hu forces, and further north is the grassland occupied by the Xianbei.

It was considered a slip of the tongue for the young man before. Normally, it would be impossible for a Xianbei child to seek death in front of the Beidi Governor's Mansion.

Huangfu Heng, whose courtesy name is Jianshou, has a physique of 58/241 and a karma of 230.

An attribute probe was conducted on the young man, and it turned out that he was Huangfu Song's son, a genuine young man, but his attributes were a bit second-generation, his physical limit was quite high, and he didn't know what good things he had eaten.

Huangfu Heng glared at Liu Cang, who also glared at him, and then looked at the sergeant who was still protecting Huangfu Heng with his sword, as if he wanted to capture him.

"If you don't want to ruin your lives, don't come forward!" Ignoring Huangfu Heng, Liu Cang frowned and said to several Han soldiers.

Several Han troops were not weak, but their physical condition was generally around sixty, which was much worse than Liu Cang. If the Han troops in the Central Plains fought, they would fight, but Liu Cang did not want to fight with the border troops.

These border soldiers had seen blood on the battlefield, and they had sharp blades. In a normal fight, Liu Cang was afraid that he would not be able to defeat them. If he wanted to fight, he would have no choice but to kill them with a dead hand.

Liu Cang didn't want to be humiliated, let alone get hurt. He was really not bluffing. Even though he had some respect for the border troops in his heart, if they dared to take action, Liu Cang would really kill them directly.

"Ha, you are quite arrogant?" Seeing Liu Cang's momentum, Huangfu Heng was happy.

"Let's go! I have something to do with your father." Liu Cang waved his hand in annoyance and didn't want to talk to him.
