Cao Thief

Chapter 78

Cough cough, Lao Xin is now very serious to discuss something with everyone.

Two more [-] words, please ask for a recommendation ticket!

The rain is getting heavier.

There were twenty or thirty dead bodies scattered all over the avenue, which looked particularly sad in the heavy rain.The pouring rain hit the ground, making a crackling sound.The splashing rain stars radiated, mixed with the blood on the ground, making the blood-soaked ground even more muddy.

A team of cavalry came galloping against the heavy rain.

On the first horse sat a big man, wearing a black jacket with a slanted skirt and a red lacquer armor.Everyone was wearing an awning, covering most of their faces.The big man jumped off the horse, walked quickly to the side of the corpse, pulled off the awning, and squinted his eyes to look around.He saw a human head!Not far away, alone and soaked in rain.The big man stepped forward, picked up the human head, and wiped off the muddy water on it, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.The corners of the tightly pursed lips were slightly raised, revealing a smile.

"Ah Fu, you're back!"

He murmured, with a wider smile on his face.

"Qu Shuai, which hero did this?" A big man with a curly beard stepped forward and asked in a low voice.He looked at the corpses on the battlefield curiously. From the few complete corpses that were bleeding from the seven orifices, he saw a clue, "This group of people is not simple!"

"Yeah, it's not easy!"

There was also a look of doubt in the big man's eyes.

Because he also saw that among these people who robbed people, I am afraid that none of them are idlers.

Ah Fu, where did you find so many masters?

"Shuai Qu, a corpse was found in the forest ahead, it seems to be an officer."

"Take me to see."

The big man strode over immediately, and after a while, he saw a war horse standing quietly by the roadside.Behind the horse is a corpse with a rope around its neck and the other end tied around the horse's neck.The corpse was obviously strangled to death, but before it died, it was dragged wildly by the horses, so that it was beyond recognition at this moment.In many parts of the corpse, dense white bones were exposed, and there were obvious signs of fractures.

The big man didn't recognize this person, but the big bearded man beside him recognized the origin of the corpse.

"This guy seems to be the one who made trouble outside the cell in the county seat yesterday... Qu Shuai, the helper your friend hired is really ruthless! Although this guy was strangled to death, he also suffered a lot. If Without deep hatred, I am afraid most people would not do this."

The big man nodded.

Ah Fu is definitely a ruthless person!

Back then in Zhongyang Town, he could kill Cheng Ji without anyone noticing, and then pretended to be nonchalant.If he hadn't caught an appearance by himself, it is estimated that the child would not have revealed the slightest flaw.

He had seen Ma Yu before, but he only had a hasty glance. How could he see Ma Yu's face clearly?
Not to mention that Ma Yu was dragged beyond recognition, even if he stood in front of the big man intact, the big man might not know him.

At this moment, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes in the distance.

"Shuai Qu, there are officers and soldiers coming!"

The big bearded man ran forward and whispered in the big man's ear.

"withdraw!"

Without saying a word, the big man immediately ran over and got on his horse.However, astride his horse, he hesitated for a moment, then turned 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 officers and troops around and give them some It's time to escape. In this way, Zuoqiu and I take a few people to the north, and you take a few people to the east. Let's disperse the officers and soldiers... After getting rid of the officers and soldiers, we will gather in Laojun Temple. If If I don’t come back when it’s dark, you rush back to the sun.”

"He's handsome..."

"Stop talking too much, let's work separately."

After the big man finished speaking, he led a dozen people and galloped 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 split into two groups in the heavy rain, and soon disappeared into the vast rain... After about a cup of tea, a cavalry army appeared outside the battlefield.

The leader is Chen Jiu.

When he got the news in the camp of Nine Girls City, he immediately gathered his men and horses and rushed over.

A cavalry army of more than 500 people was drawn from the camp.Logically speaking, there should be around [-] people in a song, but the nature of the cavalry army is different from that of the infantry army.Not to mention that there was a shortage of horses under Jingzhou's rule, even if there was no shortage, the Nine Girls City camp would not be able to withstand too many cavalry.After all, the cost of this cavalry army is too astonishing. To make up [-] cavalry troops, it is considered the limit for the Nine Girls City battalion.

Chen Jiu's face was gloomy, looking at the corpses on the battlefield, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

"We must not let these thieves go, they are so insolent... If it spreads out, won't it make others laugh that I have no one in Jingxiang?"

To be honest, Chen didn't want to bother chasing after him.But he knew that the Cao Ji family was the ones Huang She was sure to win.Although up to now, he still doesn't know why Huang She has deep hatred for this family.But to take over other people's jobs, he must work for them.There seems to be nothing unusual about Cao Ji's family.I only heard that Cao Peng was valued by Duke Pang De of Lumen Mountain, and he intended to accept him as his disciple.But so what?Is it possible that Lumenshan will turn against Jiangxia Huang's for such a little Cao Peng?

Chen said that there is no pressure!
The current situation is that Huang She must get rid of the Cao family and Deng Ji and then quickly.

If Chen can't even do this, he won't be able to gain a foothold in Jiangxia in the future... So, he personally led the team and vowed to kill the Cao family.

"Catch me, if you don't kill these thieves, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Chen gritted his teeth and roared sharply in the heavy rain.In the sky, there was a muffled thunder, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier, and thunder and lightning were brewing in the thick clouds.

————————————————————————————

The Taoist temple under Fenghuang Ridge is 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 road, and the vision is very clear.

But the incense in the Taoist temple is not good.

Especially during the Yellow Turban Uprising, because Laojunguan was once a foothold of the Yellow Turban Army, it was raided by the official army.Today, the Taoist temple has long been dilapidated, the gables have collapsed, and it has almost become a ruin.However, although dilapidated, shelter from wind and rain can still be done.

Cao Peng's family joined Mrs. Deng Juye and Mrs. Hong in Laojun Temple.

Lady Hong held the hands of Mrs. Zhang and Cao Nan, and couldn't help crying for a while.

"His aunt, it's hard for you!"

Mrs. Hong and Deng Juye cleaned the Daxiong Palace of Laojun Temple very clean, and found thick withered grass as a bed.

There is a saying that three women play a play.

Mrs. Hong, Mrs. Zhang and Cao Nan were sitting together. Once they started talking, they couldn't stop it anymore.Especially Mrs. Zhang and Cao Nan, these days have been frightened and frightened, and their spirits have reached a limit.Don't look at them looking very strong on the surface, but in fact, they are almost unable to bear it.Especially after witnessing a massacre that was not too grand, but extremely tragic, the nerves of the two women were about to collapse.Now sitting on the dry haystack, hearing the familiar voice, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Cry for a while, laugh for a while...

It lasted for half an hour before it gradually stabilized.

Deng Ji sat beside Cao Nan, hugging his wife tightly.After crying and laughing, Cao Nan fell into Deng Ji's arms and fell asleep...

On the other side, Cao Peng took out Jinchuang Medicine and Zhixue Powder to heal Cao Ji.

The injuries on Cao Ji's body were all skin traumas, not too serious.He didn't care about it himself, but he couldn't bear to reject Cao Peng's filial piety, so he sat down obediently and let Cao Peng handle it for him.

"Brother, you are really lucky!"

Dian Wei couldn't help sighing with emotion, which made Cao Ji feel proud.

"Ah Fu, how have you been doing these days? Uncle's arm..."

Cao Peng lowered his voice and told Cao Ji exactly what happened after the sunset gathering.

He said with some shame: "It's all caused by the child. If Miss Huang and I hadn't gotten close, our family wouldn't have suffered this disaster."

Cao Ji frowned slightly, and sighed softly after a long time: "It's no wonder you. It's just such a toss, we can be said to be poor now, and we have nothing. Even with your Uncle Juye and your Aunt Hong's family The three of us will also drift away with us. Friends, have you thought about what we should do in the future? And you Uncle Meng, there is no news until now, and I don’t know how the situation happened.”

Dian Wei listened and laughed out loud.

"Brother, what do you have to worry about? You follow me to Xudu. Although a certain family is not a person, it can protect your food and clothing. Besides, your family is capable people ... The uncle and grandson are calm when things happen, and the little Ah Fu is not something in the pool. My master is eager to seek talents, and he has told me many times in private that he only regrets that there is no one around him. When the time comes, a certain family is willing to be the referral I want to find a future for my brother and your family. We can’t say how rich you are, but it’s a hundred times better than staying in this small place like Jiyang.”

Although Xudu is not as old as Luoyang and Chang'an, it has a long history, but after all, it is the place where the Han emperor moved his capital, and it is far from Jiyang.Moreover, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang County was also considered the hardest hit area, with endless disasters.As for the Yuzhou area where Xu Du was located, due to the strong resistance of King Chen Liu Chong at that time, the Yellow Turban Army in the Runan area finally failed to go north to join Bocai and other troops.

Therefore, the hardest-hit areas in Yuzhou are limited to the southern part of Runan and Yingchuan County.

Relatively speaking, Xu Du has not been affected too deeply, so it is still well preserved.In this regard, Xu Du is not much worse than Luoyang and Chang'an, which have suffered repeated wars.

Cao Ji has not figured out Dian Wei's true identity until now.

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help asking: "Brother Dian, what are you doing in Xudu?"

He is a humble man, of course it is impossible to know Dian Wei's name.

Cao Peng replied softly: "Brother Dian worships Captain Wu Meng, he is Cao Sikong's guard, and he is very favored by Duke Cao..."

"what?"

Cao Ji was taken aback this time.

Captain Wu Meng?What kind of official position is that?
"Ah Fu, Brother Dian, what kind of captain is this, how is he better than Kuai County Magistrate?"

Cao Ji's words made everyone around him burst into laughter.Deng Fan and Cao Ji are in the same situation, and it is not known how high-ranking Captain Wu Meng is.But seeing others laugh, he also laughed.Anyway, there is no harm in following the herd.

At this time, Deng Ji put Cao Nan in Zhang's arms and walked over slowly.

"Father, Captain Wumeng and Jiyang County Magistrate are not the same at all, the difference is too great!" He sat down with a smile and explained: "Brother Dian, Captain Wumeng, is actually not a real job, but A title. He is Duke Cao, the old guard, and is responsible for protecting Duke Cao. In times of war, he can be considered a general and lead an army by himself with this title. Jiyang is a lower county, and the magistrate of Kuai county is only [-] shi. Brother Dian’s rank is really two thousand shi. The nature of the two is different, and it is not easy to compare. But in terms of salary alone, Brother Dian, the captain of Wu Meng, has a higher salary than the prefect of Nanyang County. Nanyang County The prefect, rank is two thousand stones."

Rank ratio and rank true, although there is a difference of one word, the difference is not small.

"Greater than the prefect?"

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Hong, who were listening attentively, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

My god, it's bigger than the prefect, so what kind of official is that?As for what Deng Ji explained earlier, the two of them didn't listen to a word.

"I just said, Ah Fu Hong Fu Qi Tian, ​​look at his friends, they are all capable people...His aunt, you are really lucky!"

As for Mrs. Zhang, her mind has gone blank!
A month ago, she was bullied by a local tyrant in Zhongyang Town, and she had to leave her hometown in the end.

But now, she was actually in the same room with a big man who was older than the prefect?This sounds, why does it feel like a dream...

The two women are a little silly!

Cao Ji, Deng Juye and his son were also a little dazed.

Fortunately, they finally did not lose their composure, but obviously, they looked a little uncomfortable!

"Father, don't be nervous, Brother Dian..."

Before Cao Peng finished speaking, Cao Ji covered his mouth.

"You child, how can you be so unruly. Brother Dian... Oh, no, what kind of character is Captain Dian, how can you call him big brother?"

Dian Wei didn't care, and scratched his head, "Brother, why do you do this? Ah Fu is also my savior..."

"No, no!" Cao Ji shook his head like a rattle, and said solemnly: "This kid is not sensible, and he doesn't know the severity. Not to mention anything else, in terms of seniority, he must at least call you uncle." , how can the big brother grow up and the short brother make people laugh."

uncle?

Cao Peng and Deng Ji coughed at the same time.

That's right, Dian Wei calls Brother Cao Ji, Cao Ji calls Brother Dian Wei, and Cao Peng calls Brother Dian Wei... It sounds a bit confusing.

However, the well-behaved name is Dianwei'uncle'?
Cao Peng and Deng Ji really couldn't react at once.

"Father, no need."

Cao Peng took a sneak peek at Dian Wei, only to see that Dian Wei grinned and stared at him after being taken aback for a moment.

Fuck, not so!

"Why don't you use it? Don't tell me you still want to be the same generation as Lao Tzu."

Wei Yan was squatting beside him, drinking Zamian Pancake Soup with relish.Hearing this, he couldn't help being choked up and took a mouthful of pancake soup, spraying it on Xia Houlan's face next to him.The mouthful of mixed noodles hung on Xiahoulan's handsome face, Xiahoulan's face was flushed, and she stared at Wei Yan, muttering in her heart: It's not that I can't beat you, today I will beat you into a pig's head!
"Old Wei, we are friends of the same generation. In the future, you should also show more respect to your Uncle Dian."

Deng Ji and Wei Yan had been working together for a while at least, and knew him a little bit.Seeing that Wei Yan put down the bowl and wanted to speak, he immediately opened his mouth, ruining Wei Yan's little plan.At this time, if you can pull a padded back, pull a padded back.Dian Wei's rise in seniority seemed unstoppable.Deng Ji would definitely not allow another 'Uncle Wei' to pop up, otherwise it would be a tragedy.

Dian Wei, couldn't help laughing out loud...
