Chapter 19: Lost Soul
When Kou Feng woke up, it was already half a month later. Opening his eyes in a daze, Kou Feng lifted the cotton quilt on his body and slowly made it. When he was really about to shout, a small guy walked in outside, and Kou Feng looked a little familiar.
Without waiting for Kou Feng to ask, the little guy laughed happily and said, "Kou Gongzi, you finally woke up!" ”
'Kou Gongzi? He was stunned, and then asked suspiciously, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Also What is this place? ”
Seeing this, the little guy hurriedly explained: "Gongzi Kou, this is Xiapi Elk Mansion, I am a domestic slave of the Elk family, and I am fortunate to follow you to the battlefield!" After speaking, he looked at Kou Feng with adoring eyes.
Kou Feng also understood in his heart, nodded and then asked, "I don't know why I'm here?" ”
When the little guy heard this, he seemed to recall: "After you successfully subdued the Yellow Turban Thieves that day, you suddenly fainted and fell unconscious. After a pause, he said: "Immediately afterwards, Cao Dudu led the reinforcements over, and after a brief understanding of what happened. I'm afraid that you will have any accidents, so I ordered me to send you back to Xiapi for treatment first!" ”
Hearing this, Kou Feng also knew in his heart, it should be that in the fight with Guan Cheng that day, he was injured and lost his strength, which finally caused him to pass out. After thinking about it, he asked, "I don't know how many days I fell asleep?" And has Cao Dudu's army returned? ”
The little guy thought for a while and said, "It should have been half a month, and Governor Cao had already come back three days ago. Lord Thorn Shi even went to greet him outside the castle in person! But the scenery is gone! After speaking, he seemed to recall the grand scene of that day, and he still smashed his mouth.
When Kou Feng was about to ask some other questions, at this time, a little steward of the Elk Mansion walked in at the door and said to Kou Feng: "Congratulations to Kou Gongzi on being safe and sound!" Then he straightened up, looked at the little guy on the side and said, "You go down first." Hearing this, the little servant bowed and retreated.
After only him and Kou Feng were left in the room, the previous steward slowly took out a package from the back and put it on the table. Seeing this, Kou Feng asked suspiciously, "What does Your Excellency mean by this?" ”
The man didn't sell anything to Kou Feng, and arched his hand and said: "Jiazhu said, this is to thank Gongzi Kou for his contribution to the Elk family these days!" ”
Kou Feng's heart was condensed at this moment, he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "These entanglements are indeed enough. "Kou Feng is not stupid, how can he not know the meaning of the person in front of him, as a man in the new century, the stubborn character of a man in the new century makes him not make that kind of groveling posture no matter what. He never thought that the elk family, which he desperately wanted to maintain, would simply abandon himself!
Time goes back to half a month ago, when Kou Feng fell into a coma on the spot, everyone present, including Cao Hong, was also stunned. But at this moment, there was a noisy sound of horses in the distance, and everyone looked back to see that it was Cao Bao, the governor of Xuzhou, who had arrived with the army.
Seeing Cao Bao's arrival, Cao Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although it was the eldest son of the family, this kind of scene was the first time he had encountered it. After a brief understanding of the situation, Cao Bao immediately took over the matter. He ordered Kou Feng to be sent back to the camp first, and then asked the soldiers to tie up their weapons and prepare to transport them back.
After listening to Cao Hong's narration, Cao Bao nodded and sighed: "This Kou Jingping is a talent, but unfortunately this time he made a meritorious service, it seems that the Cao family will not be able to get the big head this time." ”
Cao Hong, who was standing on the side, had a gleam in his eyes, and said in a dark voice: "Father, that's not necessarily!" ”
Hearing this, Cao Bao turned his head to look at Cao Hong and said, "En? What do you mean? ”
I saw Cao Hong arch his hand and said: "Father, think about it, how many of the main characters this time can speak, and what is said in the battle report still depends on how my father writes?" Then he cleared his throat and said: "He Kou Feng was originally a bandit, but this time he won by luck, my father asked people to tell the Elk family directly that he Kou Feng colluded with the bandits, and after being recognized, he was attacked by the thieves and was seriously injured and unconscious, and then promised to give the Elk family some benefits, and the Elk family will not have any complaints." ”
looked at Cao Bao, who didn't speak, and smiled in his heart, he still grasped Cao Bao's weakness, that is, the interests of the family come first. Then he said: "In this way, the expansion of the Elk family can be inhibited, and secondly, a needle can be inserted between the Elk family and Kou Feng, or even a separation." In the future, this Xuzhou will still have the final say. ”
Cao Bao didn't answer when he heard this, so he frowned and asked, "What about Zang Ba and the house slaves of the Elk family?" ”
Hearing this, Cao Hong grinned and said: "This is easier to do, my father asked Tao Tingshi for his life, and Zang Ba was stationed in Kaixian County as the cavalry captain, and then Cao Fang was the captain of the Elk family for this battle, and everyone will naturally settle down if they get the benefits." ”
Cao Bao's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he said noncommittally: "I want my father to think about this matter, you go out first." ”
"No" Cao Hong surrendered his promise and withdrew from the big tent, at this time he was already sure that the matter had been successful. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled, if Cao Bao wrote this battle report according to his opinion, then he Cao Hong would also be the beneficiary of this time.
After a while, I saw a group of people being summoned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and then I saw that these people were under the leadership of Cao Bao's own soldiers, escorting Kou Feng back to Xiapi.
At this moment, Kou Feng looked at the package in front of him and smiled bitterly, this time he almost fought for his life but got this little yellow and white thing, thinking about it, he was indeed a little aggrieved in his heart. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he wouldn't go away directly like the angry youth, walked to the table and picked up the package and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the elk master." Then he stepped out of the door with the package on his back.
Walking down the aisle of the elk's house with his head down, near the hall, he suddenly heard a quarrel from inside.
At this moment, in the hall of the Elk family, Elk Zhenzhen looked at the first Elk Zhu with an angry face. I only heard Elk Zhen say angrily: "Brother, you can't do this!" I've inquired, the reason why I was able to win this time is all due to Kou Jingping, you can't do that thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey! ”
The first Elk Zhu said calmly: "This matter is not as simple as you think, the general of the Cao family who came back with him last time has already said that this matter can only be arranged by the head of the Cao family to let the Elk family enter the ranks of the family, which is also the goal that my Elk family has pursued for generations." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, he was born as a bandit, it is rare for my Elk family to give him this opportunity, and did I let him contribute in vain, I also gave him many benefits, and he accepted it, didn't he?" ”
Hearing this, Elk Zhen was even more anxious, and turned to Elfang on the side and yelled, "Second brother, do you have something to say?" ”
Elfang, who had been protecting his sister, was also speechless at this time, because the eldest brother told him that this time he would be recommended by the Cao family to the barracks to take the position of captain.
The first Elk Zhu looked at his sister who was still stubborn, his face sank, and he shouted: "Enough, he has lost his value as a pawn of my Elk family, and there is no need to mention this matter again." After a pause, he said, "And you are not allowed to step out of the boudoir for half a step in the future!" Next year, I will find a family business for my brother for you, and I will marry out as soon as possible to explain to my late parents in the future! ”
Hearing this, not only Elk Zhen in the hall, but also Elk Fang was also stunned, and looked at his brother in shock.
At this moment, Kou Feng outside the door had already walked slowly to the gate. I didn't expect that no matter how hard I worked, I didn't let these families change their opinion of themselves even in the slightest. Hehe, this high-flying elk family is really powerful! Terrible!
At this moment, Elk Zhen in the hall also walked out of the hall angrily, and just stepped out of the door and happened to see Kou Feng's back, so he immediately shouted: "Kou Feng, Kou Jingping, you stop!" Seeing that Kou Feng's footsteps did not slow down in the slightest, he immediately chased after him.
Seeing this scene, Elfang in the hall was about to shout loudly, but was stopped by Elk Zhu. Lu Zhu said slowly: "She needs an explanation." ”
Coming to Kou Feng's front, Elk Zhen panted and said, "Kou Jingping, where are you going?" Then he stared at Kou Feng like this.
Kou Feng raised his eyelids, saw Lu Zhen staring at him like this, paused, and then slowly put down the package behind him, and said calmly: "Oh, I forgot, I still owe Miss Elk an apology, I'm really sorry, it was Kou who was ignorant and injured Miss by mistake before." This package is also exchanged for Kou's life, so use it to compensate! After saying that, Kou Feng didn't look at Mi Zhen, so he walked around her like this.
How could Mi Zhen agree, turned around and caught up with Kou Feng in front, grabbed his hand, and said, "Kou Jingping, what do you mean by this?" ”
Kou Feng slowly turned his head, looked at Elk Zhen and said, "Miss Elk, please let go, I have nothing to do with your Elk family anymore." Looking at the indifference in Kou Feng's eyes, Elk Zhen was completely stunned, this was a look she had never seen before, it seemed that she had lost her mind, but it also made people no longer see the usual cunning.
In this way, Elk Zhen stayed where she was, watching Kou Feng walk out of her sight step by step.
