++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"My lord, General Zhao Yun has been waiting for orders thirty miles outside the city!"

On a sunny day, the sun is not as sinister as before.A heavy rain brought endless coolness to Hehuang.Although it is still in June, it has already smelled the breath of autumn.The Hehuang Grassland is rich in wormwood, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep.The Diqiang Rebellion did not seem to have had much impact on Longqi City.The tragic massacre yesterday did not make people feel panic, but there was an inexplicable tranquility.

King Cao Yan who swept across Liangzhou in the past sacrificed the butcher knife in his hand.

Within ten days, the head of Dou Mao was not seen, and 20 people in Hehuang were bleeding into rivers!
How much impact will this order have on the Diqiang rebels?So far, haven't seen it.But for the people of Longqi City, when King Cao Yan sacrificed the butcher knife, it was the day when Longqi City turned from danger to safety.At least, they will no longer have to worry about the Qiangdi Rebellion.

Cao Peng sat in the hall, slightly closed his eyes.

Pang Tong's announcement did not cause him any disturbance, as before, he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

In the hall, Cai Di, Deng Ai, Du Shu and Sun Shao were listed behind Cao Peng.

Under the hall, apart from Pang Tong and Jia Xing, there was also a young man standing.

To be precise, it was a teenager, about seventeen or eighteen.Slender and handsome.

In the immature, but revealed a trace of calm and capable.

He is Ma Di.

In the battle of Xiajun, Ma Su was captured.

After being persuaded by Fazheng, Ma Su surrendered to Cao Peng.

Not to mention the five permanent members of the Ma family, the five brothers are not one.Everyone has their own ideas and ideas.At the beginning, Ma's Wuchang surrendered to Liu Bei because Ma Liang made the decision.Ma's Wuchang, Baimei is the best, although Ma Liang is not the eldest brother, but among the five brothers, he occupies a dominant position.

After the five brothers of the Ma family surrendered, their fates were different.

Ma Liang was the most trusted and was able to occupy a high position.The rest of the brothers were either counselors or were released.The worst mess is none other than Ma Su, who followed Guan Yu to be the master in the army.He is young and Guan Yu is arrogant, so naturally he should not take it seriously.If there is no resentment, it is absolutely impossible.And with Liu Bei's defeat, Ma Su felt that his future was bleak.At this time, Cao Peng was willing to accept him, which was also a choice.

Of course, it is impossible to take on important tasks at first!

Ma Di acted as a Dubo in the army. In the battle of the day and night before, he led his troops to block the retreat of Po Qiang and beheaded ten soldiers, so he was recorded in the roster and presented to Pang Tong.Speaking of which, Pang Tong also knew Ma Di, and knew that this guy was smart, but lacked experience.So he offered to ask Ma Su to come over and be his assistant.It is naturally impossible for Cao Peng to refuse Pang Tong's suggestion.Besides, he is also a famous historical figure.Even if it's not a good reputation, at least it has left a name, and it's not good to wrong the other party too much.

In this way, Ma Di became Pang Tong's deputy and took up a position in the general's mansion.

But Tang Fang and other Longqi City officials were frightened and cautious, not even daring to vent their anger.

There is absolutely no escape from their involvement in such a big dispute.

What's more, Cao Peng was invited to Longqi City by Tang Fang, so this happened.Although Cao Peng didn't scold him later, when he saw with his own eyes the scene of thousands of heads falling to the ground outside Longqi city and beside the Huangshui yesterday, he was too scared to sleep all night.The Huangshui was almost dyed red.The appearance of human heads falling into the Huangshui River, rising and falling with the surging river water, is enough to make all the people watching the ceremony jump with fear.Tang Fang didn't sleep well all night, and always dreamed that his own head was among the pile of heads, rising and falling with the river... By noon, the circles under his eyes were still dark.

After a while, Cao Peng opened his eyes.

"Let him camp where he is and enter the city alone."

"Here!"

"Wait a minute..."

Cao Peng thought about it again, and continued Ma Di, "Youchang, go and meet him."

Ma Di was taken aback when he heard this, but immediately understood Cao Peng's intentions.

This is because Ma Di and Zhao Yun knew each other.Both of them have worked under Liu Bei's account, which can also make Zhao Yun feel more friendly.Of course, Cao Peng asked Ma Di to welcome Zhao Yun, and I'm afraid there were more, so he asked him to reveal some news to Zhao Yun.This former general, Lieutenant of Sili, thinks highly of Zhao Yun!
Ma Di took the order and left immediately, while Cao Peng closed his eyes again.

He believed that Zhao Yun did not betray him.

But some things, if not tested, will be a thorn in the heart after all.He can't be as open-minded as Liu Bei, and he doesn't have much scheming.If I believe in you, I will use you. If I don’t believe in you, I will not use you...

This is Cao Peng's principle!

The problem is that Cao Peng believes in Zhao Yun in his heart.

But when such a thing happened, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have a lump in his heart.

So after much deliberation, I decided to test it out.If Zhao Yun dares to come alone, it means that he has no guilt in his heart; but if he dare not come... Even if Cao Peng likes Zhao Yun, he will not be soft-hearted.

Just look at what choice Zilong will make in the end.

The hall was so silent that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

Time passed very slowly at this time, and there was a feeling of torment.Not only Cao Peng, but also Tang Fang and others... They don't know what's going on.In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun's wife conspired to assassinate Cao Peng.This is a big deal, and if not done well, it will affect everyone.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, they suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall.

"Criminal Zhao Yun, pay homage to the young master."

With a loud voice, Cao Peng suddenly opened his eyes.

Zhao Yun tied the rope and walked into the hall, then knelt down on his knees in front of Cao Peng.

Cao Peng was taken aback!
"This general came here by himself, not by Su."

Ma Su quickly explained, revealing a wry smile.

When he told Zhao Yun what had happened, Zhao Yun was also taken aback.

He is honest, but not a fool.

I immediately understood why the troops were dispatched this time, and I always felt a little weird along the way.Food and grass are not escorted at one time, but rationed on a daily basis.If Zhao Yun made any changes at that time, the food and grass would be cut off immediately.And the thousands of soldiers and horses in Zhao Yun's hands will be scattered immediately... As soon as he arrived at the destination, he was immediately notified to return to Longqi City.Zhao Yun was still wondering, the enemy had not been seen yet, why did he withdraw his troops?Moreover, why are there always traces of Cao Jun along the way?

Now that I figured it out, they were soldiers monitoring him!
Zhao Yun was also at a loss in his heart, and he didn't know what to do...

His wife suddenly became an assassin, how should he choose?After he rescued Ma Yunlu, he didn't have too many thoughts.But with subsequent contact, Zhao Yun fell in love with Ma Yunlu and married him.

He is a dull man!
In other words, he is a very dull person emotionally...

It's not easy to fall in love with a woman, but once you fall in love, it's from the bottom of your heart.

But now, the woman she truly loves comes here with a certain purpose... Is she pretending to be affectionate, or does she really like herself?Zhao Yun didn't know!But he knew that he really loved Ma Yunlu.

Kneeling in the hall, Zhao Yun's mind was still complicated.

At this time, Cao Peng has untied his knot...

He pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly, walked to Zhao Yun's side, and took Zhao Yun's startling sword from Ma Su.Hearing the clang of the spring, Cao Peng drew out his sharp sword, the cold light was overwhelming, and the air was very cold.

"Son!"

Ma Su was taken aback, and instinctively knelt down too.

"General Zilong is definitely not the kind of person who is unpredictable. He doesn't understand this matter, otherwise he would not enter the city alone. Please forgive me, my son, and spare General Zilong's life! Su is willing to guarantee with his life that he and this matter, Absolutely no connection."

"General, think twice!"

Jia Xing also stepped forward to persuade.

Only Pang Tong stood aside with his hands in his hands and watched coldly.

Cao Peng held out his sword and stabbed at Zhao Yun.On the other hand, Zhao Yun closed his eyes and was about to tie his hands... But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.He opened his eyes and looked down, only to see that the rope on his body had been cut by Cao Peng.

"Zilong, come with me."

Cao Peng put his sword back into its sheath, turned around and walked to the back hall.

Zhao Yun was stunned for a while, then got up and followed Cao Peng, and left the hall together.

Just as Ma Di was about to follow, he was stopped by Pang Tong, "Young Changxiu, you have to worry, the young master has no intention of repaying General Zilong's life, but there are some things that Zilong must make a choice. None of us can help."

After speaking, he sat down and glanced at Tang Fang and the others.

"Master Tang County."

"The subordinate is here!"

Tang Fang got up quickly and replied respectfully.

"Longqi City will inevitably experience some turmoil after this disaster.

I also ask the county lord and all the adults to take great care to restore the original appearance of Longqi City as soon as possible.The young master didn't intend to target Qiang Di, but those people who didn't know what to do, angered the young master, so they issued the order to kill Hu.

As long as you are doing your duty for the people, behave honestly, and obey the laws, the young master will still be very friendly...

This meaning, please trouble the county to convey it.

I know that the county lord has lived in Longqi City for a long time, and he can be regarded as a person who has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is trusted by the people and Hehuang Qiangdi.When he was in Lintao, Captain Wang also praised the county lord, so he asked the county lord not to worry, just do things with all his heart.The young master is a sensible person, and he will never blame others, please rest assured. "

How much does Cao Peng trust Pang Tong?
Even if it is not obedient, it is extremely important.

When Pang Tong said these words, he presumably represented Cao Peng's meaning.

In Tang Fang's heart, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, and secretly let out a sigh of relief...

However, Jia Xing on the side said sadly: "Master Tang, you had nothing to do with Longqi City, but it doesn't mean that you were not at fault. Not to mention Dou Mao's chaos, you didn't get any news, it was a crime of negligence. Simply put, so many spies have infiltrated Longqi City, don't you have any precautions in Longqi City?"

"This one……"

Tang Fang's face turned pale immediately.

What is Jia Xing's history?
That is the adopted son of the new Liangzhou Mu Jiaxu, in other words, he is a yamen.Not to mention, he himself holds a high position. He has been in Liangzhou for many years, guarding Wuwei County and monitoring Xiqiang, which can be said to be quite famous.

His words also represented Cao Peng's meaning.

This made Tang Fang's heart that had just been put down suddenly lifted again.

Of course Tang Fang knew that Jia Xing guarded the Western Qiang and served as the general of the Qiang Guard.

"This official is dereliction of duty..."

"Okay, General Cao is a kind man, easy to talk to...but that doesn't mean you can neglect your duties below.

The general issued an order to kill Hu, and he must let Hehuang Diqiang know.

Let them know that the majesty of my celestial dynasty is inviolable.If you want to make a living in Longqi City, just obey the rules.If not, my army will start, and you will not be able to escape the responsibility at that time. "

"The lower official understands, the lower official understands!"

Tang Fang was drenched in cold sweat, and his back was soaked unconsciously...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Outside a woodshed in the backyard, Cao Peng stopped.

He looked at Zhao Yun, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "Your Madam is inside, I didn't make things difficult for her...

This matter is your family matter, and it is not good for me to interfere. "

While speaking, Cao Peng handed the Jinghong Sword to Zhao Yun, "You can solve it yourself."

Then he turned around and stood with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Yun held the Jinghong Sword in his hand, but felt that this treasured sword in the past weighed a thousand catties now.Zhao Yun's cheeks twitched, and he strode suddenly towards the woodshed.Wang Shuang had already been notified and withdrew the guards.Zhao Yun pushed open the door of the woodshed and walked into the woodshed, but he froze there for a while.

Ma Yunlu sat quietly on the haystack in the woodshed.

The sun shone through the window and shone on her, looking so beautiful.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun saw the helpless little Qiang girl who was rescued by him back then.

"My parents are gone, I am the only one left at home...

My surname will be Zhao from now on, okay?
Zilong, from now on I will only have you as a relative..."

The words of the past echoed in my ears.

Zhao Yun tightly held Jinghongjian's big hand, and slowly let go.

The corners of his eyes were moist. He stood at the door and looked at Ma Yunlu slowly, unable to say a word.

Ma Yunlu raised his head and saw Zhao Yun.

Her smile is still so gentle and beautiful, and her voice is still so sweet.

"Husband, you are back!"

"why?"

"My concubine has been waiting for you to come back..." Ma Yunlu's eyes were full of tears, but his face was still smiling, "There are some things that must be known to my husband. Instead of letting others say it, it is better for me to tell it myself.

The concubine is half a Qiang!

My father's name is Ma Teng, who was originally a former general and prefect of Wuwei.

A few years ago, he died at the hands of Cao Peng, and drove my elder brother Ma Chao to Wudu... The concubine came to join my elder brother, and wanted to avenge my father.So, under the pseudonym Ma Rufeng, he led people to be horse thieves in Hehuang, sowing discord between Hehuang Diqiang and the imperial court, and at the same time causing trouble for Cao Jun in Longqi City.

When the husband rescued the concubine, the concubine was ambushed by Wang Duwei.

In desperation, it is worthy to restore her daughter's body, under the guise of a general, to avoid the pursuit of Wang Duwei... Originally, the concubine had no intention of staying in Longqi City, and did not want to go home, but learned that Dou Mao had asked my brother for marriage, so Then he fled Wudu and returned to Hehuang.But the river is thousands of miles away, but there is no place for a concubine.

At that time, the concubine thought of her husband, so she came to Longqi City...

Wang Duwei was ambushed by a concubine.

It's a pity that the concubine's successful plan fell short because of the sudden appearance of her husband. "

"you……"

Zhao Yun didn't listen to a word of Ma Yunlu's explanation.

He gritted his teeth, and asked after a while: "You...you want to use me from the beginning to the end, right?"

The voice trembled a little, showing that Zhao Yun was not at peace in his heart at the moment.

Ma Yunlu raised his head and looked straight at Zhao Yun.

Suddenly, she laughed!
"Yes, my concubine has been using the general all along."

"Then you married me to take advantage of me?"

"Of course... the general is a little thief, and the little thief is me who killed my father and my enemy. How can I be sincere with you."

"you!"

Zhao Yun's heart suddenly twitched.

The sword in his hand came out of its sheath with a clang, and he stepped forward, holding the sword high, his eyes full of anger.

But Ma Yunlu still looked very calm, and slowly closed his eyes.

I'm sorry, sir!

In fact, as a concubine, I really want to marry you... But, being a concubine cannot implicate you!In this world, the person who makes this concubine feel guilty the most is you.It is also my wish to die in your hands.I hope that from now on, you will be able to flourish, and don't be implicated by the concubine.In this way, the concubine is content to die.

However, how could Zhao Yun do it.

The Jinghong Sword was raised high in his hand, but it was still unable to fall down.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun roared and rushed out of the firewood room like the wind, holding the sword in his hand.

He came in front of Cao Peng, knelt on the ground with a plop, holding the sword in both hands above his head.

"My lord, Yun You has disappointed my lord's high hopes.

But she is Yun Jiefa's wife, and Yun really can't do anything.Yun Shen knew that her crime was unforgivable, but...

Yun would like to die on her behalf, but please forgive her.

She is just a woman, how could she kill the young master, please forgive him, Yun is willing to work for the young master in the next life. "

While speaking, Zhao Yun burst into tears.

Cao Peng looked at him with complicated eyes, and took the Jinghong Sword from Zhao Yun for a long time.

"Zilong, you let me down!"

He suddenly shouted: "Why is it that a man has no wife? You have a bright future. Why did you die for such a woman who deceived you? Do you know that when you set out to fight, I have already written a memorial and I am going to report it to the king. , let you be the captain of the western region. I never expected...you, how could you be so disappointing."

While speaking, Cao Peng raised his foot and kicked Zhao Yun to the ground.

This kick was a bit ruthless, and Zhao Yun's forehead was bleeding...

Zhao Yun got up and knelt down in front of Cao Peng again.

He didn't speak, just kowtowed and pleaded for Ma Yunlu.

Standing at the door of the firewood house, Ma Yunlu also burst into tears.After being together with Zhao Yun for nearly a year, how could she not know what a proud man her husband is?At the beginning, he was forced to surrender to Cao Peng.But when he came to Longqi City, he was full of hope.Now, he begged Cao Peng hard for a woman like himself.Ma Yunlu's lip was bitten, but he didn't notice it at all.

Cao Peng showed a ruthless look, and slowly raised the Jinghong Sword.

"Zilong, do you know how much I expect from you?

I know that you have always been unrewarded for your ambitions, so when you came to Longqi City, I wrote a special letter to Hutou, asking him to take good care of you.But you, let me down... let me down very much!

Look at your current appearance, how can I hand over Longqi City and Hehuang to you. "

Zhao Yun raised his head, "Yun also knows, the young master loves you very much.

However, Yun's parents died early, and his brother and sister-in-law died at the hands of the black mountain bandits, leaving him wandering all his life. In 36 years, he finally met a woman he loves, which made Yun Zhong feel the warmth of home again.Jin Yun also knew that she was a capital offender.But Yun is still willing to die in exchange for her life... because, because..." Zhao Yun choked up and said, "She is my wife. "

"Husband!"

Hearing this, Ma Yunlu finally couldn't help it, and rushed forward with a sad cry.

"I, Ma Yunlu, did this alone, and it has nothing to do with my husband.

Cao Peng, if you want to kill me, just do it, don't implicate your husband... He is a good man, and he is loyal to you, and has never had any objections.You can't kill him... If you want to kill him, I, Ma Yunlu, will take it! "

Cao Peng stared at the two of them with gloomy eyes.

"I'm afraid, you can't bear it!"

His voice was suddenly cold, "Zilong, since you are willing to give up your future and your life for this woman...

I have only one sentence: You really don't regret it! "

"Yun, never regret it!"

The anger on Cao Peng's face increased sharply, and he suddenly raised his Jinghong sword high.

"Stop, stop!"

When Wang Shuang came forward with several undercover soldiers and dragged Ma Yunlu away, Ma Yunlu struggled and shouted loudly.

"The concubine knows who is the internal response in Guanzhong!"

"Ok?"

"Wei Cong, it's Wei Cong...and Hongnong Yang Fan."

Ma Yunlu was really anxious, "Wei Cong and Yang Fan colluded with my elder brother to plot Guanzhong... Cao Peng, don't kill my husband, I won't take revenge, I don't hate you anymore... Don't kill him .”

Cao Peng slowly put down the sword in his hand.

He looked at Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu with complicated eyes, sighed slightly after a while, and waved his hand to signal that Wang Shuang let go of Ma Yunlu.

"Husband, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Ma Yunlu threw himself into Zhao Yun's arms, crying loudly.

"The concubine lied to you just now... You are the husband of the concubine, and you have been for the rest of your life. The concubine just doesn't want to involve you."

"Yunlu!"

Zhao Yun hugged Ma Yunlu tightly.

Cao Peng looked at the two with a faint smile on his face.

"Although I'm not a good person, I don't want a bad marriage.

There is a saying in my hometown in Zhongyangshan, it is better to break ten cities than to break a marriage.Zilong, cherish her well... Miss Ma, I hope you will never lie to Zilong again.He's not a guy who gets emotional easily.But once you fall in love, it's like a madman... You guys, let's go! "

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he threw Jinghong Sword on the ground and turned to leave.

Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu sat there blankly, and after a while, Zhao Yun said softly: "Yunlu, I will not leave my son.

Changbanpo, I once swore to be loyal to the young master.

now……"

Ma Yunlu gently wiped away the blood on his forehead, and said softly: "The husband's choice is also the concubine's choice."

"Then your brother..."

A flash of anger flashed in Ma Yunlu's eyes, "For his great cause, he has betrothed his concubine to Dou Mao. This is the last time I will help him... Now that Ma Yunlu is dead, only Lady Zhao remains."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, but was overjoyed immediately.

He picked up the Jinghong Sword, took Ma Yunlu's hand, and strode after Cao Peng.

"Young master, Zhao Yun still hopes to work with you."

Cao Peng turned around with a smile on his face, "Zilong can stay if he wants to, but this future..."

"The cloud is not for the future, I am willing to lead the horse and stirrup for the young master."

Cao Peng didn't speak, he pondered for a long time, then turned and left.

"Son!"

"Report to Flying Camel tomorrow... As for your future, it's up to you to fight for it!"

Cao Peng didn't stop, he just raised his hand and waved.

Zhao Yun fell to his knees with a plop, and Ma Yunlu also prostrated on the ground with him.

"The cloud is so heartbroken that I will definitely live up to my son's kindness!"
