Lu's relatives

Chapter 160 Father Cao escapes bad luck, Zhang Kai escapes at night

"Master Qin, the old man has already woken up! To say that at his age, with such a serious injury, and after staying in this freezing place for an indeterminate amount of time, he can still wake up, really. Fate!" Qin Xu rode a horse for a day, was extremely exhausted, and was about to take a rest when the lead suddenly came to report.

"Are you awake? Let's go and have a look!" For this seriously injured old man who was discovered by Tan Ma, Qin Xu urgently needed to know whether the injuries on his body were caused by Kanxuan's rebels, so as not to dare to gather thousands of people. The lunatic who claimed to be the Son of Heaven did something unexpected.Although the Yellow Turban thieves entrenched in Xuzhou regarded Langya County near Qingzhou as a forbidden area because of Lu Bu's defeat and surrender of Qingzhou's million Yellow Turbans, for fear of causing trouble, this does not mean that those people learned that Lu Bu helped Xiapi. , can still remain calm; besides, the world of lunatics is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and the uncertain factors of these two sides make Qin Xu have to be cautious.Therefore, I specially instructed Qianzhao that if this person wakes up, no matter what, he must tell himself as soon as possible.

"Master Qin, this old man seems to have suffered from a cold, his forehead is hot and tight. He just woke up for a while, and now he started talking nonsense again, always shouting about concealment, virtue, and Taoism. Whose name are you calling?" Seeing Qin Xu and Qianzhao approaching, the military doctors quickly got up, pointed to the seriously injured old man lying sideways on the camp bed with a wet cloth on his head, and said: "It's no wonder, the vest is so big. Gunshot wound, it is not easy to survive under the treatment of a certain person."

"In his current state, can he hear us?" Qin Xu asked directly, ignoring the doctor's explanation.These days, these doctors in Lu Bu's army are nothing more than veterans who have a few words and can read a few fragments of medical skills. If they can help brothers who have been seriously injured on the battlefield, they can already He was called a miracle doctor by the army.

"If it's just a question, maybe it's okay?" Seeing that Qin Xu didn't listen to the words of the implied meritorious service, the doctor looked a little disappointed, but he also knew that although Qin Xu was only a member of General Zuo's mansion He is the master of the marching army, but he has a very high prestige in Lu Bu's army. When he saw Qin Xu's question, he didn't dare to say anything else, and explained: "Although this old man was seriously injured and caught a cold, it can be seen that his body was in extremely bad shape before. Alright, and the Year of Survival is extremely strong, if you can survive tonight, and then give gold creation, it will be fine, although now and then I talk nonsense, but simple questions and answers can still be done."

"Since that's the case, this person will bother you. Later, I will definitely show you my merits at General Hao, so you can get back and rest!" Qin Xu was relieved when he heard that the old man was fine, thinking of this person With the disappointed expression just now, he said to the doctor in a gentle tone.

"Old man, could you have heard something?" The doctor, who assured in every possible way that he would try his best to make the old man better, stepped back with a happy face. Qin Xu took a look at the old man's luxurious clothes and accessories, and patted him lightly. He patted the old man's arm and asked in a low voice.

"Well, ah... but you?" The old man slowly opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, and after a long time of dazedness he concentrated his gaze, looked around, took a deep breath, and frowned deeply, as if Enduring the pain, he said slowly to Qin Xu: "This little brother, where is this old man? But brother Meng, can you help me?"

"Don't worry, old man, it's very safe here!" Qin Xu just heard the old man's unconscious murmur, combined with what the military doctor said before, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and said with a smile: "It seems that the old man is seriously injured. , and no family members accompanying him, did he encounter a military disaster this time?"

"Alas..." After hearing Qin Xu's question, the old man's face was flushed, and he took a few breaths, as if thinking of something that made him very angry, his lips were cowardly, but finally sighed : "What my little brother said is true, Xuzhou has suffered the disaster of the Yellow Turban this time, the old man and his family wanted to go to Langya to escape the disaster, but unexpectedly encountered a rebel army on the way, not to mention all the property lost, and the family was also murdered. Only the old man is blessed by God, and he is lucky enough not to die! Pity my family... my grandson who is only five years old..."

"The old man's condolences are changing, and it's important to take care of your health!" Seeing that the old man was very emotional, and the cloth strips tightly stretched behind his back seemed to ooze blood, Qin Xu hurriedly comforted him: "I have been listening to the old man yelling "A Man just now!" ? Could it be that this is the grandson of the old man who was in trouble? Wait until dawn, please ask a craftsman to make a coffin for him as a memorial for the old man!"

"The old man shouting for you?" The old man seemed a little sleepy. After hearing Qin Xu's words, he closed his eyes for a long time before saying, "I must have misheard, and the old man doesn't recognize this person. Cough, it's the old man who makes you believe me." Save me, I am already grateful, how dare I bother my little brother to spend more money? It’s better not to use it..."

"Perhaps someone got it wrong!" Seeing that the old man's words seemed to be very defensive, and he didn't know whether he was seriously ill or lacked strength or intentional, Qin Xu didn't care, stood up with a smile and said: "No matter what , the deceased is already dead, the old gentleman should not be too sad, and heal his wounds with peace of mind, and I will come to visit you tomorrow."

"Is there anything on this old man that can prove his identity?" Qin Xu saw that the old man was sometimes emotional, sometimes dull and silent. He only said that he was in trouble when he met the rebel army, and he couldn't ask for a while. This is why, and the old man was seriously injured and contracted a cold, and his body was so weak that it was not easy to continue to ask, so he gave up.It's just that the person's unconscious shout before was a bit interesting. Qin Xu walked out of the doctor's military tent and asked Qian Zhao, who was standing beside him.

"Someone was there when the old man was rescued. He didn't have anything but this clothes? Could it be that he was a refugee who suffered from a military disaster? Well, why don't we ask again?" What is very interesting, Qianzhao hurriedly said.

"No need!" Qin Xu glanced at the tent behind him, shook his head with a smile, and said to Qianzhao: "Refugees? Have you ever seen a refugee who can wear a silk jacket worth tens of thousands of dollars? And other The jade bi at the waist with only stumps left is probably worth a thousand gold! And those hands, and the fat all over the body, if this can be considered a refugee, what am I waiting for?"

"Master Qin has a clear understanding of the details, and I will admire him in the end!" Qianzhao scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Then what should I do with this person? Could it be that he is going to take him to Xuzhou? But the identity of this person is unknown..."

"It's okay, I think, this person will tell me to wait soon!" Qin Xu said with a pointed smile.It seems strange to see the move.

……

"Lieutenant Zhang! This time out of the city, I got so much wealth. It's rare to receive a lot of compliments for giving a batch of treasures to my father. This is all thanks to you. Please drink this cup to the full as a token of gratitude !” In Xiapi City, Xuzhou’s prefecture, because of the Yellow Turban attack on the city, the city was under martial law as soon as it got dark, and no lighting was allowed to prevent people from communicating with thieves and sending news outside the city.But this military order is ineffective for the potter, the eldest son of Xuzhou. At this moment, the potter is just as usual, entertaining Zhang Kai, a general under his command, who is going out of the city to "look for food" in his mansion.It's just that the pottery merchant seemed to have something on his mind this time, and his behavior was not as excited as the previous few times, and his face also looked a little pale.

"The eldest son can be praised by the lord, it is like a personal experience for me, I am very happy!" Zhang Kai sat cross-legged behind the desk, and when he heard the pottery say this, his ugly face was full of complacency, and he held it up high. Said from the wine cup.

"Hey……"

Zhang Kai was about to drink it, but unexpectedly, the potter seemed to be frightened, and suddenly called out. Zhang Kai shook his hand, and he couldn't hold the wine bottle firmly. He asked with a sneer, "What is it? Have something to say?"

"This... yes!" Seeing that Zhang Kai didn't realize it, the pottery merchant paused for a while, as if he had made up his mind, forced a smile on his face, and said, "It's not that you don't know, a certain I have always fallen in love with Miss Mi's family, and I even planned to tie up with Qin Jinzhi before, but Qin Xu suddenly came out and interfered with a certain good thing. This is what I think. , probably won’t bring many people, but it’s a very good opportunity, can you ask Captain Zhang to say something to your yellow turban brothers, how about helping someone get out of this before the battle?”

"This..." Zhang Kai put down the wine cup, smashed his mouth, and said with embarrassment, "It's not that the eldest son doesn't know that because of the destruction of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, everyone in Xuzhou is in danger. And that Kanxuan intends to join them one after another to seek wealth and honor together. I am afraid that he will not look down on the price offered by the eldest son! Besides, the Yellow Turban is attacking the city and the offensive is fierce. If I contact them at this time, if the master finds out If so..."

"Ha, I didn't think of this. It's really inconvenient for the Yellow Turban to fight me in Xuzhou, but it's embarrassing for Captain Zhang! It's okay! It's okay!" A trace of coldness flashed in the potter's eyes. He opened his mouth with yellow teeth and laughed loudly: "Just pretend that XX didn't say it! But Zhang Duwei can rest assured, my father's [-] Danyang soldiers are not vegetarians, and with Lu Bu's reinforcements, some people will fight this battle." , this is a great opportunity for me to take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits. As for the matter of Qin Xu, we will discuss it later! Come, a respectful Zhang Duwei!"

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master!" Zhang Kai raised the wine cup and drank it down, and said boldly, "In the future, I will always pay attention to Qin Xu's movements, and wait for the opportunity to help Eldest Young Master realize his wish! Please!"

"I should settle this wish by myself. I won't bother Zhang Duwei and you, and please go at ease!" Seeing that Zhang Kai drank the wine without any suspicion, the pottery merchant's face suddenly changed. It became a little distorted, and said with a ferocious tone.

"Eldest son, what are you talking about...Pfft..." Before Zhang Kai finished speaking, a look of extreme pain suddenly appeared on his face. He stood up and rushed towards the potter, but as if his strength had been drained from his body, he swayed a few times and fell heavily on the table.

"Zhang Duwei, don't blame me for being cruel and disregarding friendship! It's just that the people you provoked this time are too powerful, and even my father can't take care of himself this time. I don't want to be buried with you, and I don't want Xuzhou to be buried with you!" The potter took a long sword from the wall, drew it out slowly, approached Zhang Kai, sighed and said, "For the sake of your best friend, I wanted to leave you with a dead body, but father If you have to look at your head to feel at ease, you can only offend someone!"

"Elder... Eldest son, let XX... be a sensible ghost, who is that person..." Zhang Kai's limbs were twitching, his mouth was slanting, and his eyes were slanting, forcing himself to force out these words.

"I really want to tell you, but unfortunately I don't know. If you had opened the old man's letter, you might have known." The potter approached Zhang Kai step by step, as if suddenly remembering something, he stopped and held his hand high. Jian Ren said: "However, my father has repeated a name. It seems that the surname is Meng. Yes, Meng De or something? Probably this old man's son. When you are under the Nine Springs, don't forget to apologize to them!"

"Eldest son! Something is wrong! My lord has fainted!" Just as the potter's sword missed and landed on Zhang Kai's shoulder, and when he was about to make another sword to take his head, a burst of noise came from outside the door. Anxious knocking on the door and uneasy shouting!
"What?" Hearing the news, the potter felt as if he had been struck by thunder. He didn't even notice that the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't care about Zhang Kai who was lying on the ground as if he had lost his breath. , commanded the family general to pass an order that no one could enter, and took the door away.

"Meng De...huh! Pottery merchant! Tao Qian! Xuzhou! Use me like a dog when you are in trouble, and abandon me like a bag when you are in danger. Just wait, I, Zhang Kai, will definitely come back!" While rushing forward, Zhang Kai, who was just lying on the ground with a poisoned look, suddenly moved, jumped up, spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and watched the potter leave with hatred in his eyes. direction, followed out with his hands on his shoulders, and disappeared into the night.
