Chapter 50 Ignition
When the group of soldiers slowly approached, the outline became clearer and clearer, and when they could finally distinguish their faces, Cao Ang instantly became ecstatic: "It's really Brother Liu Pingxian, my God, he actually caught Lu Bu." β
At this time, I saw Liu Ping waving his hand under the city and laughing loudly: "Big brother, open the city gate quickly, I have attacked Puyang." β
Sneak attack on Puyang?
Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Bu, who was tied up with a few women and five flowers, and instantly understood, could it be that Lu Bu's family was in Puyang?
Therefore, it can be explained why the rebels attacked the city and retreated, it should be because this guy took Lu Bu's family to threaten him.
Cao Ang was overjoyed after figuring out this layer, and said to himself: "Haha, I just said that this guy will not leave us and escape, he is stationed in Jiyin County, and he happened to copy Lu Bu's lair." β
When Liu Ping proposed to garrison Jiyin County, it was under the pretext of defending Hanoi and guarding Zhangyang, but Cao Ang didn't believe this nonsense, you said that you defended Zhangyang, why didn't you just garrison troops to Baima or Yan County, which was closer to the border?
Jiyin County is still a few hundred miles away from the border.
It's just that he didn't stop him out of trust in Liu Ping, until the rebels besieged the city later, he was still glad that Liu Ping had already left, otherwise he would have died here together.
Now that I think about it, although Jiyin County is far from the border, isn't it very close to Puyang?
This guy is really a lucky general, he can make great contributions wherever he goes, and this time the credit is even greater, saving Yanzhou City is equivalent to saving the entire Cao family's territory.
At this time, Cao Chun lowered his head embarrassedly beside him, feeling that his face was a little hot.
When Liu Ping proposed to go to Jiyin County, it was he who suspected that Liu Ping had escaped, and he ridiculed him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Pingfei did not escape, but also made such a great contribution to relieve the siege of Yanzhou City.
I think I'm too villainous.
Cao Ang suddenly remembered an urgent matter, and hurriedly called a herald and said: "Quickly return to the mansion to report the news, Young Master Ping succeeded in the sneak attack on Puyang, and captured Lu Bu alive under Yanzhou City, and the rebels retreated." β
He remembered that his mother had placed firewood around the hall, and when the news of the destruction of the city had passed, his mother would light a fire, and the whole family would die.
Now that the crisis is over, it is natural to tell my mother as soon as possible, so that she can quickly withdraw the firewood, and the province is in danger.
Cao Ang led Cao Chunle into the city wall for the two, and after seeing Liu Ping at the city gate, he gave Liu Ping a deep salute in his whole armor, and all his gratitude was in plain sight.
When brothers meet, it's like a world away.
"Big brother, hurry up and straighten out the military horses, let's go and kill the rebels," Liu Ping said.
β¦β¦
The Assassin's Mansion is quiet and fearful.
In the main hall, Mrs. Ding led the women and children to sit like this all night.
They knew that this was the last night of their lives, and none of them were willing to sleep.
Just now, I heard the sound of shouting and killing outside the city, but at this time, it suddenly stopped, and Mrs. Ding said expressionlessly: "The war is over, prepare to light the fire." β
The young concubines sobbed again.
Maybe knowing that she was going to die, and she was bold, a concubine suddenly knelt down in front of Mrs. Ding and cried: "Madam, I don't want to die yet, you let me out, I will take advantage of the chaos to go out, mixed with the homeless people, I will definitely not be caught by the rebels, and when the master comes back, I will still serve the master." β
The rest of the concubines also knelt down and pleaded bitterly.
Mrs. Ding's face sank like water, and she was indifferent.
Although she forced Cao Ang to escape when the city was broken, she knew that with Cao Ang's temper, she would definitely not leave her family and flee alone, and when the city was broken, it was her son's death.
Without Cao Ang, she is just a walking dead in the world, so she is not afraid of death at all, but has a trace of expectation.
She didn't speak, but Mrs. Bian stood up first and shouted at the young concubines: "Death is death, what is there to cry about?" Over the years, you have enjoyed the fine clothes and food of the Cao family, but now the Cao family is in crisis, but you want to escape?
Even if you can escape, in the future, when the master comes back with troops, can he let you go?
It is better to die generously here, and future generations will be sacrificed in the future, and you will have to be a part of it. β
The reason why Mrs. Bian said this was because she had confidence, Mrs. Ding just confined all the women here, and did not force the men.
Among Mrs. Bian's three sons, Cao Zhang's strength is outstanding, even if the city is broken, it should be easy to escape, Cao Pi's bow and horse are a lot weaker, but he may be able to kill them while he is in chaos, only Cao Zhi is a scholar, and his life is worried.
However, the three brothers have all changed into civilian clothes at this time, and if the brothers take care of each other, there is also a chance for the three to escape at the same time.
Even if he could escape to his father's side, after Cao Ang's death, his father had no choice.
As for Mrs. Bian herself, she didn't think about causing trouble for her son at all, as long as her son could be made the son, she would smile even if she died.
After her scolding, the little concubines didn't dare to speak out anymore, and one of the concubines suddenly remembered Liu Ping, and said hatefully: "Ping'er's little slippery head, since he knew that Yanzhou would be in danger, he secretly escaped by himself, and he didn't tell me to wait." β
"That is, if he had told us a long time ago, we could have escaped from the city in advance, so why die today?"
As soon as they thought of this layer, all the concubines began to curse that Liu Ping was not a thing.
As a junior, Liu Ping often goes in and out of the Assassin's Mansion and is usually polite to others, so the concubines feel that this child is not bad, but they didn't expect to reveal his true nature at the critical moment.
Knowing that there was danger, he secretly escaped without even revealing the news, which is simply too selfish.
At this time, Cao Jie suddenly blinked his eyes and defended: "I think Brother Liu Ping is not that kind of person, he must have a last resort." β
"Oh, Jie'er is kind-hearted, when has this been, do you still think so?" A concubine said regretfully: "It's just that this guy Ping'er didn't inform us, shouldn't you leave Jie'er behind, don't you understand his thoughts?" β
"If you want me to say, Jie'er shouldn't fall in love with this kind of person, and this kind of selfish person should choke to death by drinking cold water."
Previously, Cao Jie's fake military order for Liu Ping had already spread, and Cao Jie was grounded because of this, and almost died in the quiet room, I heard that she was calling Liu Ping's name when she was dying.
Later, although a turmoil passed, Cao Jie's careful thinking could no longer keep it secret, and it became a well-known thing in the entire Assassin's Mansion.
However, everyone thinks that in addition to Liu Ping's previous humble status, this family affair does not seem to be bad.
The key is that the old lady has acquiesced, and others dare to say more, not to mention that Liu Ping has made more and more meritorious contributions, and his status in front of the lord is getting higher and higher, and the lord also hopes to find a capable son-in-law.
Therefore, the entire inner house of the Assassin's Mansion has already regarded Liu Ping as an uncle, but the layer of window paper has not been pierced.
But now Liu Ping's performance disappointed everyone, and he only cared about his own life, and didn't take Cao Jie to heart at all.
At this time, even Mrs. Ding shook her head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Jie'er, you should be more accurate in your next life, don't look at this kind of person again." β
Cao Jie's eyes were still wide, and he repeated with great firmness on his face: "Brother Liu Ping is not that kind of person, he must have a last resort. β
At this time, a herald suddenly shouted: "Report-"
Mrs. Ding's face changed suddenly, knowing that the city was finally broken, she ordered sadly: "Light the fire!" β
