Chapter 723: Jumping into the Yellow River can't be washed away
Cao Liang couldn't help but be speechless, it is true that Wang Yuanji never said that he was Sima Yan from beginning to end, but as soon as Cao Liang saw her with the child, he made up his brain into Sima Yan by himself.
However, Wang Yuanji's argument is clearly false, obviously, at a critical moment, Wang Yuanji asked the house slave to leave with Sima Yan, and she deliberately found a child to pretend to be Sima Yan, because Wang Yuanji knew that Cao Liang knew her, and if they went together, the hope of escaping was very slim, but if they escaped separately, especially after she attracted Cao Liang's attention with a child here, Sima Yan and they were easy to escape.
What a smart woman! Cao Liang couldn't help but re-examine Wang Yuanji, she was really a talented woman from a famous family, at such a critical moment, she could be so calm, brainy, scheming, and had the courage to sacrifice herself to save her son, to be honest, Cao Liang was annoyed, but he still really admired Wang Yuanji, and it was not an exaggeration to steal the beam and change the pillar, and call her Zhuge among women.
The capture of Wang Yuanji and the capture of Sima Yan, the value of this hostage is very different, although Wang Yuanji is Sima Zhao's wife, but in this era, brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes, women have no status after all, and the Sima family will definitely not pay any too much price for Wang Yuanji.
And Sima Yan is different, he is the only male in the third generation of the Sima family, and his rarity is comparable to a national treasure, Cao Liang takes him as a hostage, and may be able to ask the Sima family for a greater price, but now Cao Liang's plan is completely ruined.
Cao Liang retracted his long sword stupidly, smiled, and said, "Mrs. Wang has good plans and good means, but Ling Lang escaped, why didn't Mrs. Wang plan for herself?" ”
Wang Yuanji said proudly: "I have long put life and death aside, as long as Yan'er can be safe, even if I die, what's the matter?" ”
Cao Liang summoned Ren Chaonan in, instructed him to take the boy down, and then said to Wang Yuanji: "Madame's love for her son is certainly commendable, but Madame's move may be afraid of falling into Ling Lang and danger, but I am afraid that life and death are unknown at this moment." ”
Wang Yuanji frowned slightly, and said in disbelief: "Alarmist." ”
Cao Liang laughed and said: "Don't believe it, today's Hanoi County has long been a certain world, even if Ling Lang is escorted by family soldiers, but how difficult it is to escape from this net, and a certain has already ordered that if you encounter armed resistance, you will be killed, these family soldiers fled with Ling Lang, I am afraid that they will be injured by mistake, and Mrs. Cleverness is likely to be mistaken by cleverness!" ”
Wang Yuanji's face changed slightly, what Cao Liang said was true, in the chaos of the army, indeed anything could happen, but now where Sima Yan fled, Wang Yuanji couldn't know, he could only worry about him secretly, praying that he could return to Luoyang safely.
Cao Liang took a few steps closer to her, and said with a slight smile: "Madam, in fact, we still have room to discuss this matter-"
Wang Yuanji was concerned about Sima Yan's safety, a little messy, then suddenly found that Cao Liang had come, and she was even more flustered, she took a step back, only to find that she had reached the edge of the tent, there was no way to retreat, in a hurry, she suddenly took out a small dagger for self-defense from her sleeve, pointed at Cao Liang, and screamed: "Don't come here!" ”
However, she seemed to feel that even if she took the dagger, she might not be Cao Liang's opponent, not to mention that the other party still had a sword in her hand, so she simply pointed the dagger at her heart and said, "If you take another step forward, I will die for you!" ”
Cao Liang didn't expect that she would hide a dagger and threaten her with death, so she could only smile bitterly, she didn't expect Wang Yuanji's reaction to be so big, she didn't have any ill intentions towards her at all, but she had suicidal thoughts, a woman who looked so weak was so strong in her bones.
But of course Cao Liang won't let her have any surprises, she has already lost such an important hostage as Sima Yan, if Wang Yuanji is killed, how can she blackmail the Sima family.
Cao Liang took a step back, spread his hands and said, "Mrs. Wang, don't be impulsive, I don't have any malicious intent-" He turned his head to the door of the tent and said, "Hey, you caught Sima Yan back so quickly?" ”
Cao Liang's words naturally attracted Wang Yuanji's attention, and when she looked towards the door, Cao Liang took advantage of her distraction and rushed forward with an arrow step, grabbing her wrist holding the dagger with his left hand.
Cao Liang's strength was naturally much greater than hers, but with a slight force, Wang Yuanji's wrist hurt, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Wang Yuanji screamed in surprise, his right hand was restrained, and his left fist hit Cao Liang's face in the struggle.
Cao Liang reacted very quickly, grabbed her left wrist with her right hand, Wang Yuanji wanted to struggle again, but how could her strength be compared to Cao Liang, and she couldn't resist.
At this moment, Huan Fan hurriedly bumped in from outside the tent, Zhang shouted "General Cao-", looked up and saw such a powerful picture, and suddenly had a grotesque expression, brushed his face with the sleeves of his robe, stepped back, and said in a loud voice: "Excuse me, excuse me!" ”
Cao Liang suddenly had a black line on his face, Huan Fan didn't come early or late, but he came in at this time, and from his point of view, Cao Liang's movements were clearly to be strong.
This time, Cao Liang really had a feeling that he couldn't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River, in fact, he was just trying to stop her irrational actions, and he didn't mean to insult her at all.
Cao Liang let go of Wang Yuanji, summoned Ren Chaonan in, and instructed him to take Wang Yuanji down, and send someone to keep an eye on it to prevent Wang Yuanji from having any accidents.
Wang Yuanji cried and left, Cao Liang was depressed, looking at this whole thing, people thought that she really dripped, no, he couldn't carry this pot, he had to explain to Huan Fan.
Cao Liang ordered someone to invite Huan Fan in, and opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Yuan Ze, there may be some misunderstanding what you saw just now, but in fact, there is nothing between me and her. ”
Huan Fan smiled ambiguously: "Understand and understand, General Cao, don't worry, a certain person is tight-lipped, and it will not reach Mrs. Zun's ears." ”
Cao Liang said angrily: "You are mistaken, I don't have any intentions for her, the woman of the Sima family, I haven't had time to hide." ”
Huan Fan glanced at him obliquely, as if to say, the woman of the Sima family, are you still moving less? However, he still said with a smile on his lips: "A captive woman, the general naturally disposed of it at will, and it is her blessing to let her serve the general." ”
Cao Liang was really speechless, it seemed that no matter how he explained, it was in vain, but the more he described it, the darker it became, so he simply couldn't do it, and asked about Huan Fan's intentions.
