Chapter 258: The Night of the Royal House

From Wenxian all the way to the west, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and the population is getting less and less, and white bone stumps frequently appear in the forests beside the road. Cao Cao www.biquge.info who said with a wry smile: "Since Ding Jianyang entered the state, the Shanxi bandits have been cornered and can only flee to the south, but they dare not cross the river to bully Luoyang, and can only make a living in this narrow square inch of land, which is not shallow to harm the people." ”

Cai Wenji was in a bad mood, and said emotionally: "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked outside the carriage, "This is Wen Ji's new Yuefu?" Cai Wenji sighed leisurely: "No, it's just that I usually hear my husband often read it, so I remember a few words." ”

Cao Cao said with a strange face: "It turned out to be made by Ze Cheng, at first glance, I thought I wrote it myself, haha." I only hope that Zecheng can be auspicious and make another good work. "It's been two or three days since Tyumen fell into the water and disappeared, and even the most optimistic people don't think that there will be a miracle, and everyone can only shake their heads secretly after listening to Cao Cao's words.

On this mountain road, Liao Hua was like a fish in water, running around on horseback and forth, and after a while, he ran back and said: "There are a few horsemen and horses under the cliff in front, it seems that they are from the Sima family." ”

When I came to a closer look, I saw the boy I had seen on the edge of the riverside village, but at this time everyone was injured, and the horse's legs were also discounted, and he looked embarrassed. When the young man saw someone passing by, he bowed down to the ground and said: "I am Sima Lang of Wen County, and my father is now Jing Zhaoyin." Now that my younger brother has been captured by traitors, I ask you for help and rescue, and the Sima family will definitely repay me in the future. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Sima Lang rode on the mount left by Qiu Ming, happy and frightened, happy that someone was finally willing to help them in their plight, and terrified that the two fierce generals drove away all their subordinates, saying that they would get in the way, I don't know what the intention was? But at this point, I can't think about it, so I can only choose to believe them.

Cao Cao saw Sima Lang's uneasiness, and specially chatted with him about his elders, and when he talked about Sima Zhi, the young man cried and said: "Uncle Jia is upright, and he has no intention of being an official, but the Son of Heaven forcibly levies it, and makes people secretly ask for money to buy officials." My family has been poetically and ceremoniously for generations, how can I get all this spare money, my uncle can only die and admonish each other, and at the same time be determined to the world. ”

Cao Cao sighed and asked again, "Then what's the matter with your brother?" How can you offend someone you can't afford to provoke at such a young age? It seems that he was taken away so far from being taken captive, and he was not lightly offended. ”

Although Sima Lang was also a little dissatisfied with Sima Yi's reckless behavior, he was very protective of his younger brother in front of outsiders: "My brother Zhong Da is bright and clear, just broken, although he is young, he is very good at fighting. The Zhou family, a big family in the county, is a distant branch of the township marquis of Anyang, harboring bandits and befriending rangers on weekdays, and only relying on sitting on the ground to share the spoils to make the family business bigger and bigger. My brother despised his family and repeatedly designed to tease the son of the Zhou family. ”

"A few days ago, Zhou Gongzi fell in love with the daughter of the hermit Hu Zhao's family, and wanted to come to the door to marry him, but he was embarrassed and retreated by my brother's words. His family was originally a tyrannical man, and he was even more lawless, so he forcibly abducted Zhongda, and went all the way west without knowing what he wanted. I asked his family to theorize, but the adults in his family only said that they were children and that they didn't need to ask. Alas, now Zhongda doesn't know where he is? Is it full or hungry? ”

Cao Cao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your father is away from home, but you are responsible for the brothers at home on weekdays?" Sima Lang nodded hurriedly. Cao Cao said: "That's it, it must be that Zhou Gongzi blamed you for being unfair and couldn't discipline your brother, so he took your brother to Guanzhong to find your father to complain." ”

"Guanzhong?" Sima Lang exclaimed: "This is far away from the mountains and rivers, and the bandits are swarming, how can I get there?" ”

Bao came over and said: "You don't have to worry too much, as the so-called snake has a snake road, and a rat has a rat hole, since his family is friendly with bandit rangers, he must have his own way." ”

Huang Zhong said: "Even so, but the ranger's actions are all based on his own likes and dislikes, and there is not much reason to talk about. If the child does not know the severity of the incident and provokes him again, it is hard to guarantee that he will do something. It's better to get people out as soon as possible. ”

Sima Lang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly begged for help. Huang Zhong and the others just promised that if they saw it, they would save people easily, but they didn't make any other promises, Sima Lang had no choice but to cry secretly.

Wangwu Shandong is Taihang, west of Zhongtiao, north of Taiyue, south of the Yellow River, lush forests and many ditches, and is famous all over the world because of the story of Yugong moving mountains recorded by Liezi. The group entered along the foothills, and bumped into a few groups of bandits on the way, but they were killed by Yan Liangwen and fled as soon as they saw their faces, which made Liao Hua cry out.

After walking in the mountain road for a while, Cao Cao drove his horse to the carriage and said: "According to the legend of the mountain, there is a hole in this mountain, which is inaccessible, and the hole is like the palace of the king, so it is called the king's house." In my opinion, this cave is the lair of the old turtle. But it's getting late today, so let's wait until tomorrow to look for it. ”

Cai Wenji's voice came from the carriage: "Now that my husband is gone, we are all women's opinions, and everything is subject to General Cao's orders." ”

Cao Cao didn't dare to be careless, everything was arranged according to the military drills, but he surrounded the carriage in the middle. When the bonfire died down, everyone who had been on the road for a day also fell asleep.

Liao Hua volunteered to be on duty on the first shift, he had never been to Dengzhou, he had no sense of belonging to Dengzhou, and surrendering Tyumen was only an expedient measure. However, after following him for a while, he felt that Qiu Ming was not bad, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yanbao were all strong in martial arts, and he usually had nothing to ask them for advice, and it seemed that his marksmanship had improved again. I only hate that Yan Liangwen and the ugly two guys shot too fast today, so that they have no chance to perform, so they can only look up to the sky and sigh that heroes are useless.

However, there are so many bandits on this mountain, and there is no guarantee that there will be a sneak attack at night, and then it will be your turn to play. Liao Hua himself is also used to being a bandit, and quickly judged several directions that may be attacked, he dragged his spear to find a hidden place to hide, if someone wants to rush into the camp, first secretly give him a shot.

The moon was slowly obscured by the clouds, and a strong wind began to blow on the hills, and Liao Hua faintly smelled a slight fishy smell in the wind, but he couldn't smell what kind of beast it was. It's not a tiger, it's probably not a black bear, the fox stinks so much, but can the fox bring such a strong wind? Liao Hua was thinking, and suddenly saw a figure swaying out of the forest, and his heart was overjoyed, and he didn't want to stab him with a shot.

Although the spear stabbed the man, it was like a defeat, and there was no blood spilled from the wound. At this time, the moon peeked out of the clouds again, and Liao Hua looked through the moonlight, only to see that this person was in tatters, and the rags and rotten flesh were mixed together and could not be distinguished. Feeling the power of Liao Hua, this person turned his face, his face was blurred with flesh and blood, and he couldn't see a piece of good meat, only a hole was left in one eye socket, and the other eye dragged the flesh tendon to the side of his mouth, but he still turned to look at Liao Hua.
