Chapter 262 The Hate of Taking My Wife, Swear to Take My Wife!Kill Cao Bandit
Although it was dark night, the torches were still brightly lit in the administrative offices of Cangwu County and Guangxin City.
The envoy of Jiaozhou was named Liu Xi, a native of Beihai County, and a famous Confucian scholar of the Han Dynasty. Speaking of which, he was also born in Xiaolian, and started a family official. During the Jian'an period, the world was in chaos, so he avoided disaster in Jiaozhou.
He wrote a book and said that to impart knowledge, among his disciples is the one who was also crushed into meat paste by a boulder after rescuing Lu Ji——Cheng Bing!
At this moment, he was waiting alone in the side room of the government office, looking at the moon through the window, feeling emotional from time to time.
"The sun is real, bright and full; the moon is queer, and when it is full, it is queer; winter is the end, and things are finally completed; comet, the light tip is like a comet; the body is stretched out, and it can be bent; the ridge is accumulated. Also, the accumulated joints will eventually go up and down!"
This is the text in his book "Shiming", which is a work that explores the relationship between "words, sounds and meanings" from the perspective of sound.
At this moment, Lu Meng rushed in.
He said coldly first: "Now that Jiaozhou is fighting with Soochow, you people from Jiaozhou? How dare you come to see this general?"
Liu Xi replied neither humble nor overbearing: "My Seventh Commander asked me to pay homage to General Lu. How did Jiaozhou and Soochow fight? It was just a dispute between the Shi family and the Lu family. The governor of the seven counties was forced to resist because of his inability to do so. It was an act of justice to fight back against the evil army. Now, whether this evil army can be wiped out depends entirely on the hands of General Lu! My seven county governors only hope that General Lu will help justice!"
The guards around Lu Meng said angrily: "You must have come to deceive General Lu, don't let him disturb the morale of the army, come and take it down!"
Liu Xi took out the letter written by Lu Cong and Lu Ba from his bosom, and placed it on the case table together with another jade pendant engraved with the word 'Ba'. He glared and shouted: "Who dares to take me?"
Seeing these two things, Lu Meng's eyes flickered, and his tone softened a lot.
"Wait a minute! You wait to step back first."
Hearing this, the bodyguards quickly withdrew, and for a while, only Lu Meng and Liu Xi were left in the side room.
Lu Meng sighed with an "ah", "Is my son all right?"
Seeing that Lu Meng was shaken, Liu Xi regained his former composure, "Don't worry, General Lu, Jiaozhou hates you so much that it's never Soochow, nor General Lu, so I won't embarrass the two sons, but Lu Xun is extremely despicable. His hands were stained with the blood of my soldiers from Jiaozhou, and then he used Jiaozhou to eliminate dissidents, if the governor of the seven counties of his family hadn't planned to... severely injure the Lu family army, all the truth will be buried in dust."
Lu Meng seemed to have come close to the truth of the whole thing all at once.
"You mean, Bu Zhi and Lu Ji? They were all killed by Lu Xun?"
"What else?" Liu Xi mused, "It was Cheng Bing who rescued Lu Ji, and Cheng Bing was my disciple. This is well known in Jiaozhou! General Lu will know it as soon as he checks, not to mention... General Lu thinks How was Lu Ji rescued? And why did he stay with Bu Zhi and was smashed to pieces by that rock! Hehe... General Lu never really thought that there was some kind of arrow from heaven, did he?"
Anyway, Cheng Bing was also crushed to death.
As for the truth of the whole story, Liu Xi can say whatever he wants.
On the other hand, Lu Meng's eyes suddenly brightened, and he seemed to have figured out the whole story, "That is to say, did the Shi family know that Lu Ji was kidnapped and that he was about to encounter a catastrophe? Just plan to capture him." Lu Xun?"
As soon as this sentence was asked, Lu Meng quickly shook his head.
"No, if that's the case, why did the Shi family release Lu Xun after they captured him? Let the tiger go back to the mountain, wouldn't there be endless troubles!"
"Hahahaha..." Hearing Lu Meng's words, Liu Xi laughed out loud. "General Lu, General Lu, people say that you'll look at you with admiration for three days, but why can't you understand the simple truth?"
Liu Xi's face became serious, and his tone became meticulous, "What Jiaozhou wanted was never the death of Lu Xun alone, but the death of the entire Lu family army, the entire Lu family in Wu County!"
"How many people in Jiaozhou died at the hands of the Lu family army? Does this mean that you can forget it?"
For a moment, Liu Xi's pupils widened, and he stared straight at Lu Meng with his eyes that were tearing apart.
understood…
Now Lu Meng understood everything, he realized that he underestimated this trace of hatred, and also underestimated the power of this hatred.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Meng finally asked, "Then... can you tell me? How did my two sons fall into your hands?"
"This..." Liu Xi paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "People say that parrots are greedy for money. The two Mr. Lus look for 'parrots' to do business. We also find parrots to do things in Jiaozhou. The Jiangdong accents of the two Mrs. Lu are authentic. What’s the matter, and the person we Jiaozhou wants to kill is Lu Boyan from Jiangdong, what a coincidence, the most important thing is... our Jiaozhou offered Parrot a reward that he couldn’t refuse.”
call--
Hearing this, Lu Meng let out a long breath.
He realized that this is life...
Is this the destiny of "the Lu family will perish"?
At this moment, Liu Xi's words came out again, "What on earth is General Lu thinking? Good and evil will be rewarded! The crimes committed should always be redeemed, not to mention that General Lu did not wrong Lu Boyan... that step stallion After Lu Ji's death, did Lu Boyan lose blood in his hands?"
——Click!
Lu Meng only felt a "thump" in his heart.
He realized that now...he had to make this difficult choice!
But before that...
Lu Meng's eyes opened.
—— "Whatever you say, now, I need to see my son with my own eyes!"
In one sentence, the loving father's concern for his son cannot be hidden at all!
...
Jiaozhou, Yulin County, Bushan City.
Lu Meng's two sons, Lu Cong and Lu Ba, were escorted here by the "parrot" killer.
After going through the pain of "burning the eagle", even if they were not bound, the two were still full of fear. They looked at Shi Xie, the "Governor of the Seven Counties of Jiaozhou" in front of them.
Finally, Lu Cong was the first one who couldn't stand it any longer, and cried, "Let us go, let us go, it's the Lu family that has enmity with you in Jiaozhou, not our Lu family!"
Shi Hui walked in, and whispered in front of his father, Shi Xie, "Mr. Liu Xi has already seen Lu Meng, and Lu Meng wants to see that his son is safe!"
Hearing these words, Shi Xie just looked at Lu Cong and Lu Ba, and said politely: "You two gentlemen, don't panic, my family has always been kind, and I will definitely not easily offend you two young masters."
Lu Ba raised his head, "Then let the two of us go to see my father..."
Shi Xie said seriously: "That's not good, your father hasn't done anything for us yet!"
Lu Cong cried and shook his head: "If you want to arrest... you should arrest the Lu family. Why make things difficult for the two of us?"
While stroking his beard, Shi Xie said calmly, "If your father can help me get rid of the Lu family in Wu County, you can naturally reunite as a family, otherwise..."
This…
Lu Cong and Lu Ba looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that their lives now depended on their father's thoughts.
Shi Xie said with emotion: "The root of all this is traced back to the provocation of the Lu family. So many people died in Jiaozhou. As the Governor of the Seven Counties, I have to give an account to these people, but I assure you , as long as your father does what I say, you will not be in any danger."
Lu Cong cried, obviously showing the intention of giving in.
Lu Ba also frowned heavily.
In the end, the two nodded, "You have to keep your word!"
Not long after, at the foot of Bushan City, Lu Meng led hundreds of horses, and they rode on horses and looked at the city tower.
finally…
Lu Cong and Lu Ba were led to the top of the tower. Although their faces were a bit haggard, they didn't seem to have too many injuries, and their hands and feet were not even tied up. This also made Lu Meng heave a sigh of relief.
Speaking of...
This time to see his son, Lu Meng is not the only one who wants to see his son...
It's even for his old mother!
Lu Meng is a dutiful son. Mother Lu has always loved his first son and his two sons the most. Mother Lu's health is not very good. If she knows that her grandson has made a mistake, I'm afraid...
"call--"
A long exhalation came from Lu Meng's mouth.
left?
Or right?
It seemed that just because he saw his two sons, he had already made his final decision!
...
...
In Jiangling City, Cao Cao's "Order of Widowhood Recruitment" has been transmitted, and there is a lot of discussion among the people.
Da Qiao went shopping in the city today. She carried the vegetable box on her back and carried the chicken. When she heard someone talking about it, she also leaned into the crowd to take a look.
But I heard a literati condemning loudly, "Is there still the law of heaven? Is there still the law of the king? Cao Cao's move is simply insane..."
Another literati was sadly reading the content of the "Order to Recruit Widows" from the north.
"——The world is in chaos today and the population is sparse. In order to allow the population to multiply and enrich the military households, the imperial court ordered the localities to recruit widows from all over the country, cut off their previous relationships, and distribute them to concubines of meritorious generals, or single soldiers as wives. , collect the number, and evaluate important achievements for officials, I hope all counties will do their best!"
Following this sentence, a commoner yelled: "From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of someone forcing a widow to marry! They are still assigned to military households? What exactly is Cao Cao going to do?"
Someone next to him answered, "Cut off the past relationship? That is to say, cut off the relationship with children, parents, and in-laws? This...this...is it against human relations? It violates Confucianism! Those Confucian scholars in the Central Plains will not stop me." Son?"
An old man who had fled from the north interjected: "Hehe, Cha Xiaolian, his father lives away from him, he is a scholar, but he doesn't know books, but only virtue. For so many years, I haven't seen Cao Cao elect a few good officials. Before that, he issued a request Xian, said, "He is not benevolent or filial, but he has the art of governing the country and using soldiers. Let the county guards recommend it without doubt!" At that time, he was using unkind and unfilial people, and now he has become a court under the control of Cao Cao who forced widows to remarry. ...What will it look like? Han... Han is not a Han!"
"At least, we don't have to carry out such absurd decrees here—"
There were footsteps in the distance, and it was Guan Xing who came quickly with a group of officers and soldiers. He personally directed the small officials to hang a newly promulgated decree of Jingzhou on the city wall.
This is "Stand Ding into Mu"...
A large group of people quickly watched, and Da Qiao joined in again.
However, I heard another scribe read: "... If the shepherds of the people can love the good and take less of it, the people will gradually become prosperous. In the past, the two emperors Huanling were demanding and useless, and they exhausted all the masterpieces they had worked all year round. , How does that little man make a living?"
"From now on, all the lands of Jingzhou and Bashu will abolish oral tax and calculated tax, abolish all taxes related to head count, collect small silver into land tax, lift the control of household registration, farmers and handicraftsmen can move freely and sell their labor power Order the county government to re-check the number of acres of land in each place, and distribute the tax equally according to the acres. Those who have more people assigned to them must have more land, and those who have fewer people assigned to them must also have land."
"Under Liu Bei's rule, regardless of the existing cities or counties, or lands that have been expanded, from now on--breeding people, and never increasing the tax!"
With this decree of "Allotment into Mu"...
All the people are stunned...
They may not be able to understand that series of complicated regulations for a while, but there is one - from now on, all taxes related to polls will be abolished!
— poll tax?Don't you have to pay?
This alone is enough for the people to cheer.
Sure enough, after a brief silence, an explosion broke out here.
"Long live, long live..."
I don't know where such a voice came from, and then the people shouted "Long live...Long live..."
Da Qiao couldn't help but stare wide-eyed as he watched...
First, Cao Wei's "Order of Widowhood Recruitment", and then Jingzhou's "Square Ding into Mu", especially the sentence "Breeding people, never adding money", this... This is so shocking.
Da Qiao couldn't help thinking about it, if she... If she was in Cao Wei, she still didn't know which soldier would be assigned as wife and concubine, there was no choice at all.
But now that she is in Jingzhou, unexpectedly...doesn't she even need to pay the original oral and calculated taxes?
This... In Da Qiao's eyes, this is like heaven and earth.
Da Qiao was thinking about it, when she patted her shoulder lightly with one hand, and then a voice came, "Why are you here? Has the pain in the lower abdomen healed?"
Da Qiao was so frightened that her hands trembled, she turned her head and looked against the sunlight, only to see a beautiful woman of her age, holding a medical kit in her hand, looking at her with a smile.
Da Qiao said pleasantly: "Miss Ren? I didn't expect to meet you here..."
It was Diao Chan who came.
She smiled slightly, but then her eyes were also attracted by the decree of "Spending Ding into the Mother", and she looked at the notice leisurely, "How lucky we are to live in Jingzhou, not... not the Central Plains."
Da Qiao knew what Diao Chan's words were referring to.
They are both widows!
"Yes..." Da Qiao nodded, "How fortunate!"
How could she, Da Qiao, let go of her relationship with Lang Jun Sun Ce?
How could it be possible to let go of Sun Shao, let go of Sun Ru... let go of these children?
...
This compartment.
The discrepancy between a "Decree of Recruiting Widows" and a letter of "Square Ding into Mu" caused a huge shock in the entire Jingzhou and among the people of Jiangling.
Over there, it's the same... These two government orders, especially the "Requisition of Widows", caused even greater waves among the more than [-] captives.
——There was an uproar.
At the same time, there were letters from these captives and the wives of these men in the Central Plains.
No, to be precise, now... these women are no longer their wives, they have become other people's wives, other people's concubines!
And these women tried every means to transport the "letter paper" to Jiangling via merchants.
Perhaps, as their wives, this is the last "Jin Shu"!
A letter after letter unfolded vividly.
——"It has been more than a year since my husband left home. I remember that in August of this year, I sent a letter to my family in Yecheng. I don't know if my husband received it? Did you hear back? It's a pity that the concubine can't wait to accept it. The imperial court's "Order to Recruit Widows" not only recruits widows, but also us "living wives". When my husband receives the letter, I am afraid that I have left this place to marry a military household, but I don't know who I will marry? And it is for him A wife? A concubine for someone else?"
——"I don't know if my husband is in good health recently? I heard that my husband was captured in Jiangling. I don't know how life in Jiangling is. Can I be looked down upon? Can I be bullied? I don't know how the local situation is. My husband is away, and I miss him very much."
——"Although the children are young, they are in good health and have a good life. Now they are stronger and taller than before. If the husband can come back, don't forget the children and help the parents-in-law. As for the concubine... Don't worry about the husband, in troubled times Ups and downs, I can't help myself...Although I am someone else's wife, I will never forget the love I have with my husband!"
——"Whether the next stop will be safe or not, I don't know about the concubine, one difference and two lenient... I just hate that when the husband leaves home, the concubine is a wife and mother, but when the husband returns home, the concubine can only be another wife and mother!"
——"I hope that one day, when the wind and waves calm down, the husband will return, and the whole family will be reunited, but don't look for a concubine, and don't do stupid things to hurt your family... Now because of the short time, I can't talk about it again, and you will never read it!"
With this letter jumping...
"what--"
"what--"
This captive, this young man, his face suddenly became extremely ferocious, like a devil, and his eyes, like a rakshasa ghost, looked at the sky in humiliation.
"what--"
He was hoarse, he screamed hysterically.
"Never read..."
"Never read—ah..."
He went crazy and overthrew the utensils on the desk one after another. Gradually, a huge sense of powerlessness spread all over his body, and countless tears began to roll on his ferocious cheeks...
Gradually, his gray lips were completely bloodless, trembling slightly like two willow leaves and flying knives, as if he was too anxious to say anything, and it seemed that he knew that even if he said something, what could be changed?
Hate!
He only hates that Cao Cao's hatefulness!Hate that Cao Wei, let his wife disappear forever!What does he hate-
People say—revenge for killing your father, hatred for taking your wife!
This is Chi Guoguo's hatred for taking his wife!
In the past, these Jiangxia captives would still tease Cao Wei's general Qin Yilu, tease Cao Cao for bullying his wife, the color on his head was much brighter, he didn't even dare to fart!
But this time...
It's not Qin Yilu, but themselves, each of them, the color of the top of their heads is green enough to make them panic.
And this touch of green was forcibly given to them by the thief Cao.
Cao thief...
Do you want "Cao thieves" all over the Central Plains and the north?
"The "Order of Widowhood Recruitment"...I despise your "Order of Widowhood Recruitment"..."
"Cao Aman, I... I will honor your ancestors! I will honor you... I will honor your ancestors!"
Finally, in the silence... the man broke out, and he let out a terrifying roar.
However, next... where the nine thousand captives were, just like this man, roars resounded again and again.
Desperation, sorrow, whining, hysteria...
Like an instant, this touch of emotion flooded into them, many people's hearts.
In the earth-shattering roar of bullying and misery, it seemed that four large characters were gathered together:
——Hate for taking his wife!
Soon, under these four big characters, four more big scarlet characters were added - we can't live together!
...
...
Hao Zhao, the son-in-law of Pang and Xi's family, temporarily lives in Xi's residence.
Because he was entrusted with the important task of building the city, early this morning...he was about to go to the new city to oversee the work, but his wife Pang Rong sent him to the door.
But as the maid pushed open the door, whether it was Pang Rong or Hao Zhao...
They are all stupid.
This is the dawn of the sky, but thousands of people have already surrounded the street in front of Xi's mansion, and they are all Jiang Xia's captives.
They didn't shout or make a fuss, with tears in every eye socket. They held the "Brocade Books of Last Parting" in their hands and let Hao Zhao and Pang Rong take them down to read.
And with the unfolding of the "Jin Shu"...
Hao Zhao couldn't help crying, and the tears were already rolling in his eyes.
It was only then that Hao Zhao realized that he was married to a daughter-in-law, and his mother was safe and well, and lived a happy life without shame...but...but these brothers, their wives, children, young and old, just because of Cao Wei's "Widowed Widow Order" And in dire straits.
Hao Zhao felt this feeling of "hate for taking his wife".
After Pang Rong read the letters, she was also a little shocked... She looked at the words on the letters in disbelief.
Her eyes froze on the word "San Lie".
"—husband."
"——waiting for the day you return."
"—The concubine is probably someone else's wife!"
With a thud... Pang Rong turned to look at Hao Zhao, her eyes couldn't be more urgent.
—“Help them, help them! 』
Hao Zhao took a deep breath and asked everyone, "What are you going to do?"
There was a silence at first.
Then a hoarse voice came from it.
——"Take my wife! Kill the Cao thief!"
Immediately after…
"Take my wife! Kill Cao thief!"
"Take my wife! Kill Cao thief!"
"Take my wife! Kill Cao thief!"
All of a sudden, the sound waves were overwhelming, and the shouts were like thunder rolling, and all the anger gathered together into thunder and lightning.
It was as if, just waiting for "Thunder Lord" to give orders, and then they could blast towards Cao Cao and Cao Wei's heart in unison!
Everyone's eyes are like two words - "Mie Shen!"
"Gudong" sound.
Hao Zhao swallowed deeply, and he shouted: "Follow me, I will take you to meet Mr. Yunqi—to seize your wife! Kill Cao thief!"
...
...
Ps:
(I really have to ask for leave. I’m sorry that I only have one chapter today. The reason is 520. You know...)
(End of this chapter)

Following this sentence, a commoner yelled: "From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of someone forcing a widow to marry! They are still assigned to military households? What exactly is Cao Cao going to do?"
Someone next to him answered, "Cut off the past relationship? That is to say, cut off the relationship with children, parents, and in-laws? This...this...is it against human relations? It violates Confucianism! Those Confucian scholars in the Central Plains will not stop me." Son?"
An old man who had fled from the north interjected: "Hehe, Cha Xiaolian, his father lives away from him, he is a scholar, but he doesn't know books, but only virtue. For so many years, I haven't seen Cao Cao elect a few good officials. Before that, he issued a request Xian, said, "He is not benevolent or filial, but he has the art of governing the country and using soldiers. Let the county guards recommend it without doubt!" At that time, he was using unkind and unfilial people, and now he has become a court under the control of Cao Cao who forced widows to remarry. ...What will it look like? Han... Han is not a Han!"
"At least, we don't have to carry out such absurd decrees here—"
There were footsteps in the distance, and it was Guan Xing who came quickly with a group of officers and soldiers. He personally directed the small officials to hang a newly promulgated decree of Jingzhou on the city wall.
This is "Stand Ding into Mu"...
A large group of people quickly watched, and Da Qiao joined in again.
However, I heard another scribe read: "... If the shepherds of the people can love the good and take less of it, the people will gradually become prosperous. In the past, the two emperors Huanling were demanding and useless, and they exhausted all the masterpieces they had worked all year round. , How does that little man make a living?"
"From now on, all the lands of Jingzhou and Bashu will abolish oral tax and calculated tax, abolish all taxes related to head count, collect small silver into land tax, lift the control of household registration, farmers and handicraftsmen can move freely and sell their labor power Order the county government to re-check the number of acres of land in each place, and distribute the tax equally according to the acres. Those who have more people assigned to them must have more land, and those who have fewer people assigned to them must also have land."
"Under Liu Bei's rule, regardless of the existing cities or counties, or lands that have been expanded, from now on--breeding people, and never increasing the tax!"
With this decree of "Allotment into Mu"...
All the people are stunned...
They may not be able to understand that series of complicated regulations for a while, but there is one - from now on, all taxes related to polls will be abolished!
— poll tax?Don't you have to pay?
This alone is enough for the people to cheer.
Sure enough, after a brief silence, an explosion broke out here.
"Long live, long live..."
I don't know where such a voice came from, and then the people shouted "Long live...Long live..."
Da Qiao couldn't help but stare wide-eyed as he watched...
First, Cao Wei's "Order of Widowhood Recruitment", and then Jingzhou's "Square Ding into Mu", especially the sentence "Breeding people, never adding money", this... This is so shocking.
Da Qiao couldn't help thinking about it, if she... If she was in Cao Wei, she still didn't know which soldier would be assigned as wife and concubine, there was no choice at all.
But now that she is in Jingzhou, unexpectedly...doesn't she even need to pay the original oral and calculated taxes?
This... In Da Qiao's eyes, this is like heaven and earth.
Da Qiao was thinking about it, when she patted her shoulder lightly with one hand, and then a voice came, "Why are you here? Has the pain in the lower abdomen healed?"
Da Qiao was so frightened that her hands trembled, she turned her head and looked against the sunlight, only to see a beautiful woman of her age, holding a medical kit in her hand, looking at her with a smile.
Da Qiao said pleasantly: "Miss Ren? I didn't expect to meet you here..."
It was Diao Chan who came.
She smiled slightly, but then her eyes were also attracted by the decree of "Spending Ding into the Mother", and she looked at the notice leisurely, "How lucky we are to live in Jingzhou, not... not the Central Plains."
Da Qiao knew what Diao Chan's words were referring to.
They are both widows!
"Yes..." Da Qiao nodded, "How fortunate!"
How could she, Da Qiao, let go of her relationship with Lang Jun Sun Ce?
How could it be possible to let go of Sun Shao, let go of Sun Ru... let go of these children?
...
This compartment.
The discrepancy between a "Decree of Recruiting Widows" and a letter of "Square Ding into Mu" caused a huge shock in the entire Jingzhou and among the people of Jiangling.
Over there, it's the same... These two government orders, especially the "Requisition of Widows", caused even greater waves among the more than [-] captives.
——There was an uproar.
At the same time, there were letters from these captives and the wives of these men in the Central Plains.
No, to be precise, now... these women are no longer their wives, they have become other people's wives, other people's concubines!
And these women tried every means to transport the "letter paper" to Jiangling via merchants.
Perhaps, as their wives, this is the last "Jin Shu"!
A letter after letter unfolded vividly.
——"It has been more than a year since my husband left home. I remember that in August of this year, I sent a letter to my family in Yecheng. I don't know if my husband received it? Did you hear back? It's a pity that the concubine can't wait to accept it. The imperial court's "Order to Recruit Widows" not only recruits widows, but also us "living wives". When my husband receives the letter, I am afraid that I have left this place to marry a military household, but I don't know who I will marry? And it is for him A wife? A concubine for someone else?"
——"I don't know if my husband is in good health recently? I heard that my husband was captured in Jiangling. I don't know how life in Jiangling is. Can I be looked down upon? Can I be bullied? I don't know how the local situation is. My husband is away, and I miss him very much."
——"Although the children are young, they are in good health and have a good life. Now they are stronger and taller than before. If the husband can come back, don't forget the children and help the parents-in-law. As for the concubine... Don't worry about the husband, in troubled times Ups and downs, I can't help myself...Although I am someone else's wife, I will never forget the love I have with my husband!"
——"Whether the next stop will be safe or not, I don't know about the concubine, one difference and two lenient... I just hate that when the husband leaves home, the concubine is a wife and mother, but when the husband returns home, the concubine can only be another wife and mother!"
——"I hope that one day, when the wind and waves calm down, the husband will return, and the whole family will be reunited, but don't look for a concubine, and don't do stupid things to hurt your family... Now because of the short time, I can't talk about it again, and you will never read it!"
With this letter jumping...
"what--"
"what--"
This captive, this young man, his face suddenly became extremely ferocious, like a devil, and his eyes, like a rakshasa ghost, looked at the sky in humiliation.
"what--"
He was hoarse, he screamed hysterically.
"Never read..."
"Never read—ah..."
He went crazy and overthrew the utensils on the desk one after another. Gradually, a huge sense of powerlessness spread all over his body, and countless tears began to roll on his ferocious cheeks...
Gradually, his gray lips were completely bloodless, trembling slightly like two willow leaves and flying knives, as if he was too anxious to say anything, and it seemed that he knew that even if he said something, what could be changed?
Hate!
He only hates that Cao Cao's hatefulness!Hate that Cao Wei, let his wife disappear forever!What does he hate-
People say—revenge for killing your father, hatred for taking your wife!
This is Chi Guoguo's hatred for taking his wife!
In the past, these Jiangxia captives would still tease Cao Wei's general Qin Yilu, tease Cao Cao for bullying his wife, the color on his head was much brighter, he didn't even dare to fart!
But this time...
It's not Qin Yilu, but themselves, each of them, the color of the top of their heads is green enough to make them panic.
And this touch of green was forcibly given to them by the thief Cao.
Cao thief...
Do you want "Cao thieves" all over the Central Plains and the north?
"The "Order of Widowhood Recruitment"...I despise your "Order of Widowhood Recruitment"..."
"Cao Aman, I... I will honor your ancestors! I will honor you... I will honor your ancestors!"
Finally, in the silence... the man broke out, and he let out a terrifying roar.
However, next... where the nine thousand captives were, just like this man, roars resounded again and again.
Desperation, sorrow, whining, hysteria...
Like an instant, this touch of emotion flooded into them, many people's hearts.
In the earth-shattering roar of bullying and misery, it seemed that four large characters were gathered together:
——Hate for taking his wife!
Soon, under these four big characters, four more big scarlet characters were added - we can't live together!
...
...
Hao Zhao, the son-in-law of Pang and Xi's family, temporarily lives in Xi's residence.
Because he was entrusted with the important task of building the city, early this morning...he was about to go to the new city to oversee the work, but his wife Pang Rong sent him to the door.
But as the maid pushed open the door, whether it was Pang Rong or Hao Zhao...
They are all stupid.
This is the dawn of the sky, but thousands of people have already surrounded the street in front of Xi's mansion, and they are all Jiang Xia's captives.
They didn't shout or make a fuss, with tears in every eye socket. They held the "Brocade Books of Last Parting" in their hands and let Hao Zhao and Pang Rong take them down to read.
And with the unfolding of the "Jin Shu"...
Hao Zhao couldn't help crying, and the tears were already rolling in his eyes.
It was only then that Hao Zhao realized that he was married to a daughter-in-law, and his mother was safe and well, and lived a happy life without shame...but...but these brothers, their wives, children, young and old, just because of Cao Wei's "Widowed Widow Order" And in dire straits.
Hao Zhao felt this feeling of "hate for taking his wife".
After Pang Rong read the letters, she was also a little shocked... She looked at the words on the letters in disbelief.
Her eyes froze on the word "San Lie".
"—husband."
"——waiting for the day you return."
"—The concubine is probably someone else's wife!"
With a thud... Pang Rong turned to look at Hao Zhao, her eyes couldn't be more urgent.
—“Help them, help them! 』
Hao Zhao took a deep breath and asked everyone, "What are you going to do?"
There was a silence at first.
Then a hoarse voice came from it.
——"Take my wife! Kill the Cao thief!"
Immediately after…
"Take my wife! Kill Cao thief!"
"Take my wife! Kill Cao thief!"
"Take my wife! Kill Cao thief!"
All of a sudden, the sound waves were overwhelming, and the shouts were like thunder rolling, and all the anger gathered together into thunder and lightning.
It was as if, just waiting for "Thunder Lord" to give orders, and then they could blast towards Cao Cao and Cao Wei's heart in unison!
Everyone's eyes are like two words - "Mie Shen!"
"Gudong" sound.
Hao Zhao swallowed deeply, and he shouted: "Follow me, I will take you to meet Mr. Yunqi—to seize your wife! Kill Cao thief!"
...
...
