subvert the late Tang Dynasty

When Huang Chao saw Cao Ruhua coming in, his heart was shocked. Of course, it was not a stunning shock, but almost frightened.Even Huang Chao's high self-cultivation was almost frightened, but Cao Ruhua's appearance is not generally scary.Huang Chao frowned slightly and was about to speak.

But I saw Cao Ruhua at the door grinning at the people in the big tent, as a greeting, then stood aside, opened the curtain of the big tent, and said in a loud voice: "Auntie, Huang Wang is sentimental, come in quickly ah!"

Only then did everyone in the big tent realize that the yaksha-like woman just now was not Cao Shixiong's sister, but his daughter. It may be some petite figure.Some people even wondered, are you, Cao Shixiong, looking for a wife for Huang Wang or a general?As far as the daughters of your Cao family are concerned, marching and fighting are almost the same. If you want to be a wife, you should avoid it, and be careful to scare people!

Zhu Wen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly prayed in his heart, don't let another "heavyweight" person like Cao Ruhua come in, his heart may not be able to bear it, and Huang Chao, who is the party involved, may not be able to bear it even more.

In the wild guesses of the crowd, a woman came in at the door. She was tall and slender, with steady steps. She was wearing a close-fitting military uniform and a large purple cloak, which looked capable and majestic.

An oval face, with sword-shaped eyebrows drawn into the temples, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a tightly pursed mouth with slightly upturned corners, although it can't be called the world's most beautiful, but it is also a rare beauty.But the trace of heroism in his brow makes people think more of a heroine who is a hero, rather than a widow who has lived in a boudoir for a long time.

Seeing her enter the big tent, she clasped her fists like Huang Chao and said loudly: "Cao Shihong has seen Huang Wang!"

Huang Chao stared fixedly at Cao Shixiong's sister, Cao Shihong, and sighed after a long time: "I really didn't expect it to be you. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years since Mount Tai was parted, right?"

The generals around Huang Chao suddenly realized that the two were old acquaintances, no wonder Cao Shixiong dared to propose marriage to Huang Wang, it turned out that he had already planned it!They couldn't help but admire Cao Shixiong who seemed rough.

Seeing Huang Chao's reaction, Cao Shixiong also had a slightly naive smile on his face.The sister had some emotional entanglements with Huang Chao many years ago. Of course, he, the older brother, had heard about it. It was just that Huang Chao had married and had a pair of children back then, so his sister had no choice but to marry someone else.But now that both parties are widowed, isn't this a great opportunity?That's why he brazenly brought the girl here, just to fulfill the wish in his heart for her.

In the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was open, and it was common for women to remarry. The feudal ethics and ethics were not as stubborn as those in the Song Dynasty.Free love was also commonplace in the Tang Dynasty, so Huang Chao didn't have any other ideas about Cao Shixiong's matchmaking for his sister.

A flash of excitement flashed in Cao Shihong's eyes, but it immediately dimmed, and he said: "It has been 11 years and seven months since Taishan left, and I was less than [-] years old, and now I am half-old But Huang Wang seems to have not changed at all in the past ten years, and he is still as handsome as before."

Huang Chao laughed at himself, and said: "It doesn't matter how young you look, but it's just deceiving outsiders. My brother is already 60 years old. How can you not know?"

Cao Shihong smiled slightly, and said: "Now you have lost your wife for many years, and I have been widowed for several years. As long as Huang Wang doesn't dislike my little sister's willow appearance, how can my little sister think about it?" After finishing speaking, he stared straight at Huang Chao , waiting for Huang Chao's reply.

After hearing her words, everyone had to admire her boldness. Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, few women dared to say such words in full view.Zhu Wen first coughed dryly and said: "I still have some things to deal with, so I'm leaving." After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for Huang Chao's consent.

Only then did the others come to their senses, and they all left one after another, even Cao Shixiong and his daughter withdrew with the crowd.For a while, only Huang Chao and Cao Shihong were left in the room, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Huang Chao smiled wryly and said, "It's been so many years, why are you still the same temper as before? You're not afraid of being laughed at!"

Cao Shihong raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether people like to laugh or not? We are not young people anymore, why do we have so many worries? Say something straightforward, will it make a word?"

It seems that Cao Shihong's straightforward and pungent temperament is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. Although he is no longer young, he still has the character of when he was a girl.

Huang Chao smiled and said: "I am very honored to be favored by the 'Purple Clothed Woman' who was famous all over the world back then, but I, Huang, are doing a beheading business. Once the army is defeated, it will be a matter of killing the nine clans." , it’s not comparable to the joyful kindness and hatred in the rivers and lakes back then.”

Cao Shihong said with a smile: "You are doing a beheading business. Could it be that what I did with my elder brother in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas is not a beheading business? It is not a light to kill the nine clans." She looked into Huang Chao's eyes and said: " For more than ten years, I have been thinking about your elegant demeanor, Big Brother Huang, and honestly, if you hadn't already had a wife and children back then, would you have married me?"

Huang Chao pondered for a long time, and said: "Where are there so many ifs in this world? Facts are facts, there are no assumptions. At that time, Zhuo Jing was ill. How could I accept your feelings? If I had accepted you at that time, I would have been with me for many years Wouldn’t you be chilled by the humble Jing? You would also look down on me. Who would have thought that many years later, when I inquired about your whereabouts, I heard that you had retired from the arena and married a long time ago.”

Cao Shihong smiled and said, "I don't know if we can still meet today, is it fate?"

"Fate..." Huang Chao repeated the word several times in a murmur, and sighed, "I haven't heard this word for many years." Huafa, how can we still love each other like those teenagers?

Cao Shihong frowned and said: "In this way, you Huang Wang dislikes my willow appearance? It's okay, you and I haven't seen each other for many years. I don't know if your Lingyun swordsmanship has improved. We are in the same pain as we were more than ten years ago. How about a happy match?"

Huang Chao said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You are still such a child, and your innocence has not diminished. I have rarely shot in the past ten years. There are not many people in the world who can be called opponents. The only thing I yearn for The battle was Gao Pian, the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, but we never had a chance to fight him fairly. After all, our identities did not allow us to use our long swords to determine victory or defeat like heroes in the rivers and lakes. Now we are fighting with wisdom and military strength, and Not martial arts."

Although Huang Chao didn't say clearly that Cao Shihong was not his opponent, Cao Shihong could still hear the meaning from his words, and couldn't help being a little discouraged.Back then, Cao Shihong was young, beautiful, and extraordinary in martial arts. Because he liked purple clothes, he won the title of "Lady in Purple Clothes" as soon as he stepped into the rivers and lakes.And Huang Chao was already well-known all over the world at that time, and he was one of the few master-level figures recognized in the world.

Cao Shihong challenged Huang Chao many times, but was rejected by Huang Chao, and finally caught Huang Chao on the top of Mount Tai, but the result of the battle between the two is self-evident, Cao Shihong must end in failure.Unexpectedly, Cao Shihong was deeply impressed by Huang Chao's demeanor in this battle.

The two spent ten days together on the top of Mount Tai, talking about martial arts and swordsmanship all day long. Cao Shihong also got a lot of advice from Huang Chao, but they always met as friends.When Huang Chao was leaving, Cao Shihong unexpectedly expressed his love to Huang Chao, but Huang Chao refused because he already had a wife and children.

But the ten days of getting along left a deep impression on both of them. Until today, more than ten years later, when they think about the events of that year, they are clearly visible in their hearts as if they were just yesterday.

Sometimes, some feelings will not be gradually forgotten due to the passage of time, on the contrary, they may become clearer as time passes, such feelings are called unforgettable!
