Chapter 115 Lu Zhi's Question "Chengshou, what exactly do you want to do?" On the way back to Liaodong, when Lu Zhi saw Tian Ze, he finally couldn't help but ask, his tone was extremely complicated, his eyes were full of heaviness and reluctance. Tian Ze knelt down in front of Lu Zhi, silent. He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but he didn't know what to say. When Lu Zhi was sent here, he did not show up, but left early for Yingchuan, for fear of being questioned by Lu Zhi. He hoped to have some time for Lu Zhi to calm down a little and give both sides some buffer time. But now, having to face Lu Zhi, Tian Ze still felt a little ashamed. Cai Yong, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this scene, with complex emotions revealed in his eyes. Tian Ze's performance speaks for itself. Although he is now the leader of a region, Tian Ze always maintains full respect and gratitude for Lu Zhi. He really doesn't want to deceive this mentor who has repeatedly helped him selflessly, so he can only remain silent, as if silence is his only choice at this time. If there is anyone in this world who can make Tian Ze feel awe, besides his deceased parents, it is the mentor in front of him and the clan leader who is far away in Jiangdong.
"Forget it, forget it." Seeing Tian Ze like this, Lu Zhi couldn't bear it and sighed. The sighs sound like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, carrying with them endless depression and loneliness. "Just do whatever you want to do. Just stick to your original intention and think about the people of the world. As your teacher, I am a Han official and I am afraid I cannot help you." Lu Zhi's words were full of helplessness, he knew that he could no longer change Tian Ze's choice. When Tian Ze heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed, as if a huge rock pressing on his heart had been removed. He respectfully kowtowed to Lu Zhi and thanked him: "Master Lu, rest assured, I will remember what you said and will never forget it." "Ze knows that you and Duke Bojie are of high moral character and do not want to get involved in disputes. Ze has set up a school in Liaodong. You and Duke Bojie can teach there or live in seclusion. Ze will never force you." Tian Ze's words were full of sincerity and respect. He hoped to provide Lu Zhi and Cai Yong with a quiet place away from disputes. Tian Ze had no motive for personal gain in rescuing Lu Zhi and Cai Yong; it was purely out of the relationship between master and disciple. Although he jokingly called Cai Yong his "future father-in-law" in his heart, Tian Ze actually saved Cai Yong. On the one hand, it was because he admired Cai Yan and could not bear to see her future tragedy, but more importantly, it was because Cai Yong was a close friend of Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi was famous all over the world, but there were only two people who could have a true friendship with him and gain his recognition. One was Huangfu Song, who was now leading troops outside, and the other was Cai Yong. Huangfu Song was fine, he was too pedantic, had too many thoughts, and didn't need Tian Ze's rescue at all. But Cai Yong could be rescued easily. After the conversation was over, the relationship between the master and the disciple immediately eased a little, and the tension was resolved. However, at this moment, a drunken figure staggered in, like a reed in the wind, ready to fall at any moment. Seeing this scene in the tent, his originally vague eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He burped, closed his eyes, collapsed to the ground, and snored. "Burp! Whoosh!" Looking at Guo Jia, who was known as a "genius" in later generations but was actually a playboy with three major hobbies: sleepiness, alcoholism and lust, Tian Ze's mouth twitched slightly. He slowly stood up and bowed respectfully to Master Lu and Cai Yong. "Master Lu, Lord Bo Ji, you can rest first. Ze has important matters to deal with. I will come to visit you later." Then he dragged Guo Jia, who seemed to be asleep, and walked straight out of the tent. "Elai, where did this guy steal the wine from?"
Hearing the roar coming from outside the tent, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong inside the tent couldn't help but shook their heads in amusement, with a hint of doting in their eyes. "Zi Gan, your disciple is really kind-hearted." Cai Yong said meaningfully, revealing a hint of admiration and envy. "His heart is pure and kind, which is rare. Even the other two disciples I admire the most are inferior to him. It's a pity that such a talented person... Alas!" Lu Zhi's words were full of regret and emotion. "What can we do given the current situation?" Cai Yong said calmly. He was very open-minded. After being exiled for many years, he was already extremely disappointed with the court and had seen through everything. "Compared to some ambitious and violent people, your disciple is already quite good. He still wants to save you in this situation. Otherwise, you and I would be in great danger." The two looked in the direction of Luoyang with complicated expressions. How could they possibly hide what happened in Luoyang City from their eyes? They were not aware of Yuan's preparations and mistakes at first, but after knowing the results, they immediately understood them by working backwards. They even had a vague idea of the future direction. What should they do then? No matter what they do, it will be wrong and there will be no good ending. Being able to escape unscathed now is already the best outcome. This world no longer belongs to them. …… Looking at Guo Jia who seemed to be sleeping soundly in front of him, Tian Ze felt a mixture of love and hate in his heart. In the end, he sent him back to his tent to let him rest. Looking at Tian Ze's back as he left reluctantly, and the rather thick quilt on his body, Guo Jia turned over and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After a tour around Yingchuan, Tian Ze originally wanted to kidnap Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun and others. After all, the chaotic world is just around the corner, so there is no need to worry too much. Take the person away first. If you can't subdue him, you can just keep him. As a result, the group of people did not find anyone and only captured Guo Jia who was having fun among the musicians. Tian Ze admired Guo Jia very much. Although he was nicknamed "Ten Sages of the Net Temple" by later generations, which was a bit exaggerated, Guo Jia's ability was undoubtedly outstanding, especially his accurate prediction and decision-making ability, which could be said to be at the top of the entire late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, his personality is very distinct, sensible, gentle, clear and pure. His unruly behavior and three hobbies do not disgust people, but add a different kind of charm. Tian Ze was naturally happy to accept Guo Jia, but he was troubled by the fact that he could not cure Guo Jia's addiction to alcohol and lust. To be on the safe side, Tian Ze always has doctors accompanying him, all of whom are good doctors who have received personal instruction from Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo. As early as after "inviting" Guo Jia, Tian Ze arranged for doctors to conduct a comprehensive diagnosis on him. They found that his body was quite weak and the disease had already entered his body. In order to eradicate it, he must exercise properly and abstain from alcohol and sex for a certain period of time. Because Guo Jia has not yet returned to his original intention, Tian Ze is unable to input spiritual energy into him, so he can only let Dian Wei look after this guy and take good care of him. In order to take care of this sickly person, Tian Ze specially arranged a special shock-absorbing carriage, and asked Dian Wei to watch over him and forbade him to drink. However, Dian Wei, who was honest and straightforward in character, was no match for Guo Jia when it came to scheming, and was always fooled by him. This guy is weak, and Tian Ze can't touch him for the time being for fear of hurting his body. Every time he gets so angry that he can only treat him like a big boss. The army marched northward for nearly half a month and finally arrived in Youzhou.
