Chapter 064(1/2)
Laojun talks about the future
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Twenty or thirty dead bodies were lying on the road, which seemed particularly sad in the heavy rain. The pouring rain hit the ground, making endless crackling sounds. The splashing rain stars were scattered, mixed with the blood on the ground, making the ground soaked in blood even more muddy.
A team of cavalry rushed towards the heavy rain.
First, a big man sat upright, wearing a black robe with a slanted collar and a red painted armor. Everyone was wearing a canopy, covering most of his face. The big man jumped off the horse, walked quickly to the corpse, lifted the canopy, and looked around with his eyes. He saw a head! Not far away, soaked in the rain alone. The big man stepped forward, picked up the head, wiped off the mud and water on it, and a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes. The corner of his mouth was tightly pursed, slightly upturned, revealing a smile.
"Afu, I'm back!"
He murmured, and the smile on his face became stronger.
"Ship Qu, which hero did this?" A bearded man walked forward and asked in a low voice. He looked at the corpses on the battlefield curiously. From the complete corpses, but bleeding from the seven orifices, he saw a hint of clues, "This group of people is not simple!"
"Yes, it's not simple!"
A hint of doubt also appeared in the eyes of the big man.
Because he also saw that among the people who took action to rob people, they were probably not idle people.
Where did Ah Fu find so many good people?
"Sir Qu, a corpse was found in the forest ahead, as if it was an official army."
"Take me to see."
The man immediately strode over, and soon he saw a war horse standing quietly beside the road. There was a corpse behind the horse, with a rope around its neck and the other end tied to the horse's neck. The corpse was obviously strangled to death, but before death, it was dragged and ran wildly by the war horse, so that it was beyond recognition at this moment. Many parts of the corpse were exposed with white bones and obvious signs of fracture.
The big man did not recognize this person, but the bearded man beside him recognized the origin of the body.
"This guy seems to be the one who made trouble outside the county cell yesterday... Qu Shuai, the helper you, your friend, is so cruel! Although this guy was strangled to death, he suffered a lot. If it weren't for the deep hatred, I'm afraid that ordinary people wouldn't do this."
The big man nodded.
Ah Fu is definitely a cruel person!
In Zhongyang Town, he could have killed Cheng Ji without knowing it, and then pretended to be nothing. If he hadn't caught someone, the child would probably not have any flaws.
He had seen Ma Yu, but just took a quick glance. How could he see Ma Yu clearly?
Not to mention that Ma Yu was dragged unrecognizable, even if he stood in front of the big man intact, the big man might not know him.
Just then, a sound of horse hooves like thunder came from a distance.
"Master Qu, an official army is here!"
The bearded man ran forward and whispered to the man's ear.
"withdraw!"
The big man ran over without saying a word and turned over the horse. However, when he was sitting on the horse, he hesitated for a moment, turned his head to the bearded man and said, "Lao Zhou, looking at the situation on the battlefield, Lao Cao and the others should not have gone too far. Let's find a way to lead the official army around and give them some time to escape. In this way, Zuoqiu and I will take a few people north, you will take a few people east, and we will disperse the official army... After getting rid of the official army, we will gather in Laojun Temple. If I don't come back when it's dark, you will hurry back to Yang."
"Ship Qu..."
"Don't say much, let's act separately."
After the big man finished speaking, he led a dozen people to gallop in the direction of Jiyang.
The bearded man hesitated for a moment, turned his horse's head and said, "Brothers, let's go!"
A group of people was in heavy rain, and their troops were divided into two groups, and soon disappeared into the vast rain curtain... About a cup of tea, a team of cavalry appeared outside the battlefield.
The person in charge was Chen Ju.
He received news from the camp of Nine Girls City, so he immediately ordered all his troops and rushed over.
A song of cavalry was drawn from the camp, with more than 300 people. Logically speaking, a song should be about 500 people, but the nature of the cavalry is different from that of the infantry. Not to mention that there are no horses under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, even if there is no shortage, the Jiunucheng Camp cannot bear too many cavalry. After all, the cost of this cavalry is too amazing. It is already the limit for the Jiunucheng Camp.
Chen Ji's face was gloomy, and when he looked at the corpses on the battlefield, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
"You must not let these thieves go, they are too arrogant... If they spread it out, wouldn't they let others laugh at me as there is no one in Jingxiang?"
To be honest, Chen didn't want to chase and kill him. But he knew that Cao Ji's family was a must-have person. Although he still didn't know why Huang She had a deep hatred for this family. But when he took the job, he had to serve the other family. The Cao Ji's family seemed to be nothing strange. I only heard that Cao Peng was valued by Mr. Pang De of Lumen Mountain and was interested in accepting him as a disciple. But what could it be? Could he still turn against the Jiangxia Huang family for such a small Cao Peng?
Chen said there was no pressure!
The current situation is that Huang She must be eliminated from the Cao family and Deng Ji quickly.
If Chen could not even do this, he would not have the opportunity to gain a foothold in Jiangxia in the future... So, he led the team to kill the Cao family.
"Chasing me, and not killing these thieves will not relieve my hatred!"
Chen gritted his teeth and roared loudly in the heavy rain. A muffled thunder sounded from the sky, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the heavy clouds were brewing with thunder and lightning.
The Taoist temple under Phoenix Ridge, also known as Laojun Temple.
It is located on the edge of a remote valley with a relatively high terrain. Standing in the Taoist temple, you can have a bird's eye view of the main road and the view is very clear.
But the incense in Taoist temple is not good.
Especially during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Laojun Temple was swept by the government army because it was once a foothold of the Yellow Turban Army. Now, the Taoist Temple has long been destroyed, and its gables have collapsed, almost becoming a ruin. However, although it is dilapidated, it can be barely able to shelter from wind and rain.
Cao Peng's family met with Deng Juye and Hong's wife in Laojun Temple.
Madam Hong held Zhang and Cao Nan's hands and couldn't help crying for a while.
"His aunt, it's so hard for you!"
Madam Hong and Deng Juye cleaned the Main Hall of Laojun Temple very cleaned, and found thick dry grass as a bed.
It is said that three women play in one play.
Mrs. Hong, Zhang and Cao Nan sat in the same place. As soon as the chatter was opened, they could no longer hold back. Especially Zhang and Cao Nan, who have been worried these days, and their spirits are at a limit. Although they look strong on the surface, they are almost unable to bear it. Especially after witnessing a killing that is not very loud but extremely tragic, the two women's nerves are almost collapsed. Now sitting on the dry haystack, hearing the familiar voices, I couldn't help crying loudly.
I cried and laughed...
It lasted for half an hour before it gradually stabilized.
Deng Ji sat next to Cao Nan and hugged his wife tightly. Cao Nan cried and laughed, and fell into Deng Ji's arms and fell asleep...
On the other side, Cao Peng took out Jinchuang Medicine and Jixue Powder to heal Cao Ji's injuries.
Cao Ji's injuries were all skin injuries, not too serious. He didn't care, but he couldn't bear to refuse Cao Peng's filial piety, so he sat honestly and let Cao Peng deal with him.
"Brother, you are so lucky!"
Dian Wei couldn't help but sigh, which made Cao Ji's heart suddenly feel proud.
"Afu, how have you lived these days? Shusun's arm..."
Cao Peng lowered his voice and told Cao Ji everything about what happened after the sunset gathered.
He said with some shame: "It was all the trouble caused by the child. If I had not been close to Miss Huang, my family would not have suffered such disaster."
Cao Ji frowned slightly, and after a long time, he sighed softly and said, "It's no wonder you. Just by doing this, we are now poor and have nothing left. Even your uncle Juye and your Aunt Hong's family of three will be rippled away with us. My friend, have you ever thought about what we should do in the future? And you, Uncle Meng, have no news yet, and I don't know what to do."
Dian Wei heard this and laughed loudly.
"Brother, what are you going to worry about here? You follow me to Xudu. Although a certain family is not a person, they can also protect you from food and clothing. Besides, your family is capable... My uncle is calm when dealing with things, and Xiao Afu is not a thing in the pool. My lord is eager to seek talent. He has told me many times in private that he only regrets that no one is available around him. At that time, a certain family is willing to be the person who recommends you and your family and make a future. We can't say that great wealth is great, but it is a hundred times better than staying in a small place in Jiyang."
Although Xu Du cannot compare with Luoyang and Chang'an's old imperial capital, it has a long history, but after all, it is the place where Emperor Han moved the capital, far from being comparable to Jiyang. Moreover, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang County was also a severely affected area and the bandits were incessant. In the Yuzhou area where Xu Du is located, due to the strong resistance of King Chen Liu Chong of King Chen at that time, the Yellow Turban Army in Runan area was ultimately unable to go north to join Bo Cai and other troops.
Therefore, the hardest hit areas in Yuzhou are only in the southern part of Runan and Yingchuan County.
Xu Du was relatively not affected too much, so it was still well preserved. In this regard, Xu Du was not much worse than Luoyang and Chang'an, which were repeatedly war-torn.
Cao Ji has not yet figured out Dian Wei's true identity.
Hearing what he said, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Dian, why are you doing in Xudu?"
He, a promoted little civilian, certainly could not know Dian Wei's name.
Cao Peng replied softly: "Brother Dian is appointed as the Captain Wu Meng. He is Cao Sikong's guard, and he is very favored by Cao Gong..."
"ah?"
Cao Ji was shocked this time.
Captain Wu Meng? What kind of official position is that?
"Afu, brother Dian, what kind of school lieutenant is this? How about the magistrate of Kuai County?"
Cao Ji's words made everyone around him laugh. Deng Fan and Cao Ji's situation were similar, and I didn't know how old the lieutenant Wu Meng was. But when he saw others laughing, he laughed. Anyway, it would be no harm to follow the crowd.
At this time, Deng Ji put Cao Nan in Zhang's arms and walked over slowly.
"Dad, the magistrate Wu Meng and the magistrate of Jiyang County are not the same as each other. The difference is too big!" He sat down with a smile and explained: "Brother Dian, the magistrate Wu Meng, is actually not considered a real position, but a title. He is Cao Gong, the magistrate of Suwei, responsible for protecting Cao Gong's safety. In the war, he could be a general and could lead an army alone. Jiyang is a Xia County, and the magistrate of Kuai County is only 300 stones, while the magistrate of Dian, the rank of the rank of the rank of two thousand stones. The two are of different natures and are not easy to compare. However, in terms of salary alone, the magistrate of Wu Meng, the magistrate of Nanyang County, is more than the rank of the magistrate of Nanyang County. The magistrate of Nanyang County is 2 thousand stones."
Although the difference between rank ratio and rank truth is one word, the difference is still quite large.
"Greater than the prefect?"
Zhang and Mrs. Hong, who were listening to each other, couldn't help but exclaim.
My god, older than the prefect, what kind of official is that? As for what Deng Ji explained earlier, she didn't listen to a single word.
"I just say, Ah Fu Hong Fu Qi Tian, look at his friends, all of them are capable people... His aunt, you are so lucky!"
As for Zhang, his mind is blank!
A month ago, she was bullied by a rich man from Zhongyang Town and finally had to leave her hometown.
But now, she actually lives in the same room with a big man who is bigger than the prefect? Why does it sound like she is dreaming...
