Wancheng, too guarded mansion.

In the main hall, Cai Mao sat on the top, sipping a little wine, listening to the delicate girl, chattering and complaining in front of him.

"Uncle, you've heard about it, that Liu Qi didn't choose me, but wanted to choose Yueying, it's really annoying, I'm worse than Sister Yueying, why doesn't he look down on me, is he blind......"

The girl talked endlessly, her angry little face turned red, and she even threw the cup in front of Cai Mao on the ground.

Cai Mao didn't blame her, she only had a calm expression and let her lose her temper in front of her.

After a while, the girl complained that she had no strength, so she stopped and scolded the maidservant next to her: "Are you blind too, don't you see that my mouth is dry, and you want to die of thirst!" ”

The maidservant was startled and hurriedly served her a new glass.

The girl also forgot her manners, grabbed the cup, raised her head and poured the water clean, a few traces of water ran down the corners of her mouth, and slid to her snow-white neck.

At this time, Cai Mao asked: "Shu'er, you said that the eldest prince chose Huang Yueying, but not you, did he say what the reason was?" ”

The girl's name is Cai Shu, and she is Cai Mao's niece.

"He didn't say it directly." Cai Shu's mouth flattened, "But I can hear that he is Sister Kua Yueying, who is beating around the bush, has a gentle temperament and is extraordinary." ”

Cai Mao nodded, and said with a smile: "The eldest son's vision is indeed good, this Huang family girl is indeed a rare talented girl, as for this temperament, it's not that the uncle said you, Shu'er, you should also change your pungent temper, otherwise whoever runs into you, you can't be afraid." ”

"Uncle, what do you mean! Why are you even counting me down, you are still not my uncle! Cai Shu pursed her lips and complained angrily.

"Uncle is wrong, can't you do it, Shu'er, don't be angry." Cai Mao hurriedly smiled and didn't pay for it.

Cai Shu's expression is a little better.

Cai Mao's thoughts returned to the topic, and she looked puzzled: "But this thing is also quite strange, although the Huang family is as famous as my Cai family, but the Huang Yueying family is only a partial branch of the Huang family, in terms of identity and status, that Huang Yueying is far inferior to Shu'er, the lady of the Cai family, although the eldest son is not smart, but he is by no means a stupid person, he should know that the marriage of the two families, the identity and family of the female family is the first choice, as for what talent and temperament, but secondly, why did he not choose you?" ”

Moving out of his family background, Cai Shu's pretty face rekindled pride, and hummed: "Uncle is right, I don't understand, how can this Liu Gongzi be so stupid!" ”

Cai Mao stood up, paced in the hall, and muttered: "The eldest prince is the eldest son, and sooner or later he will inherit the inheritance of the lord, if he can't become the son-in-law of our Cai family, it will not be a good thing for our Cai family's status in Jingzhou in the future." ”

"Uncle, you must think of a way, I must be the future state pastor's wife." Cai Shu looked resolute.

Cai Mao pondered for a moment and sneered: "Shu'er, don't worry, marriage matters, after all, it is the parents who make the decision, Liu Qi wants to marry who he can't help him, the uncle will exert influence on the lord's side, as long as the lord nods, the position of the future state pastor will still be yours after all." ”

Cai Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and her little face turned cloudy to sunny.

At this moment, the pro-army outside the hall hurriedly entered, presented a silk book, and said: "Yu Taishou, Biyang County ordered Su Zhe to send an urgent report, saying that the Yellow Turban Thief led 3,000 thieves to attack in a big way, and asked Taishou to send reinforcements to Biyang to rescue." ”

Cai Mao's eyes moved, but he took the silk book unhurriedly, glanced at it hastily, and sneered: "This kid surnamed Su was arrogant at the recruitment meeting, and he wanted to covet my position as the Taishou of Nanyang, and it was only a few days later, and he came to me for help. ”

"I heard that the previous county commanders of Biyang were all killed by the yellow turban thief, if the uncle didn't send troops to save him, I'm afraid that Su Zhe would also have to die, will the uncle save or not?" Cai Shu was curious, and also asked.

"An arrogant poor boy, is it worth my money?" Cai Mao asked rhetorically, with a hint of contempt in her tone.

Cai Shu realized, nodded and agreed: "Cai Mao's words are reasonable, Su Zhe's kid can't see his background, he always can't put himself in the right position, when he was in Lumen Academy, he always likes to be in the limelight, and always wants to suppress our big clan children, since he is so capable, let him deal with the yellow turban thief by himself." ”

Her voice fell, but Cai Mao shouted: "Come on, quickly pass my warrant to Jianyang County to order Huang Jie, and order him to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters nearby and rush to Biyang to reinforce Su Zhe." ”

Cai Shu was stunned for a moment, and said with a blank face: "Uncle, don't you want to save the person surnamed Su?" Why did you call Huang Gongzi to save it? Shu'er can't understand it. ”

"Shu'er, you're still too young."

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Cai Mao's mouth, and he said slowly: "Su Zhe is the county commander under my rule, he sent someone to ask for help, if I, who should be too guarded, do not save me, I will be slandered, saying that I am pretending to be a public servant and trying to kill people with a knife to get rid of him, a poor boy who threatens my position too much." ”

"That'...... Why didn't the uncle send troops himself, but asked Huang Gongzi to save him? Cai Shu still didn't react.

Cai Mao sneered: "At the recruitment meeting, how did Su Zhe make Huang Zhe ugly, Shu'er, you also saw it, do you think, Huang Zhu will honestly save Su Zhe?" ”

Cai Shu was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, and couldn't help but give Cai Mao a thumbs up, and sighed in admiration: "Uncle is really powerful, this can not save Su Zhe, and there is no need to be talked about fake public and private interests, even if someone gossips, it will only target Huang Gongzi, Uncle really let Shu'er Chang see." ”

Cai Mao smiled and drank all the wine.

……

East of Wancheng, Jianyang County.

At dusk that day, a messenger from Wancheng galloped into Jianyang and sent Cai Mao's warrant to the Yellow Shooting case.

Huang Zhu opened it and couldn't help laughing: "I said earlier, Su Zhe, this kid can't do what he can't do, going to Biyang is to send him to death, I thought he could last a few months, but I didn't expect his death to come so quickly, haha~~"

The sound of smug laughter echoed in the hall.

Chen Zhi, who came to hear the news, rushed over with his injured buttocks, and when he knew the news that the army of Biyang Yellow Turban thieves was pressing the border and Su Zhe was in danger, he couldn't help but laugh gloatingly.

After laughing for a while, Chen suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Childe, are we celebrating too early, this Cai Taishou ordered us to lead the army to save Biyang, and we have to listen to his orders, but if we lead the army to Biyang, if we don't save it, is it equivalent to saving the kid surnamed Su?" ”

Huang Jie's laughter stopped abruptly, frowned, and complained: "Uncle Cai is really, he knows that I have a holiday with Su Zhe, but why did he let me save the surname Su, isn't it difficult for me to be strong." ”

"So what should we do, should we save it or not?" Chen looked confused.

Huang Jie paced in the hall, the corners of his mouth swept up a strange color, and sneered: "It's not to save or not to save, but to save and not to save." ”

"To save or not to save?" Chen's expression became more and more confused.

……

On the sixth day, Biyang City.

On the wall of the east gate, Su Zhe was supervising the soldiers and people to strengthen the city defenses.

Since the people in the city heard that he broke the Yellow Turban Thief and beheaded Yang Luo, a traitorous official, they all applauded, and his prestige in the hearts of Biyang people increased rapidly.

As a result, these people, who have been suffering from the scourge of yellow turbans for a long time, have consciously and voluntarily come to the city wall and help the officials and soldiers to build the city wall.

The Yellow Turban army poured out, and the news of revenge had spread throughout the city, and both the people and the soldiers in the city were nervous.

Only Su Zhe was the only one who was munching broad beans and looking at the scenery of the slanting sun from afar, looking calm and calm.

The sound of footsteps sounded, Su Xiaoxiao climbed to the top of the city, approached the front, and said in a low voice: "Childe, the second uncle has sent back the news, and the Yellow Turban army is only one day's journey away from our Biyang." ”

"Oh."

Su Zhe just said an understatement "oh", nodded approvingly: "Second Uncle really still has some ability, I let you hold Zhou Cang for seven days, it seems that he has completed the task." ”

"However, it has been three days since the Yellow Turban reinforcements left Thorn Yang, and they have only walked fifty miles, and now they are still thirty miles away from our Biyang, but I am afraid that the Yellow Turban thieves have been killed, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived." Su Xiaoxiao had the word worry written on her face.

"Do you think Huang Jie is really so generous and wants to help us?"

Su Zhe sneered, "He was afraid that he would be told that he would not save him when he saw death, and he pretended to be a public servant, so he had to send troops, but he deliberately delayed the march, and when he was delayed, he waited until we were destroyed by Zhou Cang, which is the true intention of our Huang Dagongzi." ”

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, her brows twisted into a rope, and she said hurriedly: "Then what should we do?" ”

"There is no other way, this battle can only rely on ourselves." At the entrance of the last broad bean, Su Zhe looked at Dongfang Avenue from afar, and there was a hint of deep meaning in his tone.
