Chapter 94 - Set fire to the house.
Immediately, Xu Maogong and others, under the leadership of Zhongling's soldiers, came to the front of the three thatched huts. Outside the hut, there was nothing but a large tank filled with water. At this time, next to the water tank, there was also a child playing, and he didn't notice the arrival of Zhao Yun and the others at all.
When Xu Maogong and Zhao Yun saw this, they both looked at each other. After all, no matter how you say it, this Meng Heng is also a general, even if the family is not a mansion, there is no need to be so miserable, right?
At this time, the little boy who was squatting on the ground and playing finally noticed the comer. hurriedly ran into the house and shouted, "Mother, grandma, someone is outside." Come out and see. ”
I saw the door of the thatched hut, and soon a woman appeared at the door with an old man in her arms. I saw that the old man looked full of white hair, but his eyes were bright. And the woman next to her is also quite charming.
"Old lady, madam, under Xu Maogong, this is polite." Xu Maogong immediately stepped forward and saluted the two.
"Hahaha, Lord Xu doesn't have to be polite. By the way, what is the matter with Lord Xu coming this time? Also, how is Puyu doing now? The old man asked with a kind smile on his face.
"Alas, old woman, I don't hide it. We came this time to bring the old woman, the general's wife, and the little boy back to restore their lives, and we also asked the old lady and the young lady to take a step to speak. Xu Maogong also said with difficulty at this time.
When Meng Hui's old mother heard this, she hurriedly invited Xu Maogong into the thatched house, and Xu Maogong also symbolically said to Zhao Yun behind him: "Everyone else is waiting outside for me, and no one is allowed to come in!" You come in with me! After Zhao Yun replied, he hurriedly followed Xu Maogong into the house.
And the leader was also suspicious of Xu Maogong's approach, but due to the military order, he could only sit down and rest in the courtyard outside the thatched house. After a while, several people walked out of the thatched hut under the leadership of Xu Maogong.
Immediately, I only heard Mrs. Meng say: "Okay! The old body will accompany you for a while! The old body believes that the king will definitely see everything and return my Meng family to an innocence! ”
"Good! Then please ask the old lady to be wronged first! Come on, help the old lady get in the car! Seeing this, Xu Maogong also hurriedly asked his subordinates to escort the three ancestors and grandchildren into the prisoner car, and then set off.
Before leaving, Xu Maogong also kept an eye on it and ordered people to burn down the Meng family's thatched hut.
..................
The convoy marched all the way to the gate of the city, and the previous captain also came to bid farewell to the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Meng family in person. also deliberately pulled Xu Maogong aside, stuffed Xu Maogong with twenty taels of silver, and asked Xu Maogong to take good care of the three grandchildren on the highway. When Xu Maogong saw this, he couldn't cry or laugh, but he still accepted it. After all, if he didn't want to, maybe the captain wouldn't let him go.
Subsequently, the lieutenant ordered the city gate to be opened and the troops to pass through. And the Chu army also swaggered out of the city with the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Meng family. The group, since they left the city, Zhao Yun gave the order to speed up their march. After all, this is the place of the Great Peace Army, and if one accidentally discovers a flaw by the other party, it will be bad. And Zhao Yun was also afraid that Mrs. Meng would not be able to withstand the toss, so he personally broke off.
ran all the way and finally returned to the Chu camp.
And Zhao Yun and Xu Maogong also personally took Meng Hui's family members from the car, personally asked people to prepare food for the three grandchildren, and entertained the three grandchildren. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not at ease at all, and as soon as they got out of the car, they asked Xu Maogong about Meng Heng's situation. Seeing this, Zhao Yun had no choice but to invite the three of them into the account and tell them one by one.
"Alas! O iniquity! O iniquity! Ahem! Meng Mu had just listened to Xu Maogong's words, and immediately said angrily.
"Mother, don't worry!" Meng Hui's wife saw that her mother was coughing, and hurriedly patted Meng's mother on the back.
"Alas! O Puyu! How can you be so stupid? The pearl is secretly cast! The pearl is secretly cast! Meng Mu immediately said with tears in her eyes.
"Please don't get excited, old lady! General Zhao had already sent someone to write to Qin Xianxian, and it would not be long before he could get news of General Puyu. Seeing this, Xu Maogong also stepped forward to persuade.
"Yes! The old lady will live in my military camp with peace of mind, as soon as there is news of the general, Zilong will tell the old lady as soon as possible! When Zhao Yun saw Meng Mu like this, he also said sincerely.
"Alas! The news of Puyu will be more tiring and annoying for the two adults! ”
"Hmmm! The two of us will go all out to rescue Master Meng. The old lady can stay in my camp with peace of mind. Zhao Yun spoke again.
Immediately, Zhao Yun asked people to arrange a place for Meng Heng's family to stay, and they also entertained people and did not neglect them.
…………
"Brother Xu, this Meng Hui's family has been saved, what should I do next?" After Meng Hui's family left, Zhao Yun couldn't wait to ask Xu Mao for justice.
After all, the Chu army has been delaying in Yuzhang for too long, and if it is not solved quickly, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers will drop.
"Next, we'll just have to wait and see what happens!" Xu Maogong said with a smile.
…………
Under Zhongling City, I saw a group of people and horses standing under the city and negotiating with the defenders on the city tower.
"Brother upstairs, I am General Meng Hui's lieutenant - Zhang Xi. Please open the gates and let us in. Zhang Xi shouted loudly downstairs at this time.
"What? It's Lord Zhang, open the city gates! As soon as the captain on the city tower heard this, he heard Zhang Xi's voice, and hurriedly asked his men to open the city gate and personally went out of the city to greet him.
"Master Zhang, I don't know why you came this time? I'm going to inform the county magistrate. The lieutenant hurriedly said with a smile.
"No need, I'm here to pick up Mrs. Meng this time. I won't stop there!" Zhang Xi faced the captain's proposal and hurriedly stopped it.
"Huh? Pick up Mrs. Meng? When the captain heard this, he was a little confused for a moment.
"There are so many people who pick up Mrs. Meng today."
"What did you say?!" Zhang Xi listened to the captain's self-talk
"Well, my subordinates said that General Meng Hui's family had already been picked up by someone sent by the DPRK. By the way, it seems that General Meng's house has been set on fire by them! How is General Meng? My subordinates heard that he killed Prime Minister Zuo! The lieutenant listened to Zhang Xi's question and hurriedly asked.
"! It's really the Jiang family's group of dogs! Pass my military order, let the brothers speed up their return, and be sure to return to Xinwu before dawn tomorrow! Zhang Xi immediately ordered.
The people below were all miserable when they heard Zhang Xi's military order, after all, they had been running all night, and now they had to rush back, and they had to do it before dawn. But complaining is complaining, and the soldiers below also continued to hurry immediately. And Zhang Xi also turned over and caught up with the team.
The captain looked at Zhang Xi, who was riding away from the horse, and said secretly in his heart: "What's the matter?" ”
