Chapter 163: Cao's father escaped from bad luck, and Zhang Min fled at night
"Master Qin, that old man has woken up! To say that at his age, he was so seriously injured, and he didn't know how long he stayed in this cold ghost place, and he could still wake up, it was really fateful! Qin Xu rode a horse for a day, extremely tired, and was about to rest, when he suddenly came to report.
"Awake? Let's go, let's see! For this seriously injured old man who was discovered by Tanma, Qin Xu urgently needed to know whether the injuries on his body were caused by Kan Xuan's rebels, so as not to do unexpected things for this madman who dared to call himself the Son of Heaven after gathering thousands of people. Although because of Lu Bu's defeat and surrender of one million Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban thieves entrenched in Xuzhou regarded Langya County, which is close to Qingzhou, as a forbidden place, for fear of getting into trouble, this does not mean that those people can remain calm after learning about Lu Bu's aid to Pi; Besides, the world of madmen is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and these two uncertain factors make Qin Xu have to be cautious. Therefore, I specially instructed the trick, if this person wakes up, he must tell himself as soon as possible.
"Master Qin, this old man seems to have suffered from the wind and cold, his forehead is hot, he has just been sober for a moment, and this time he has started to talk nonsense again, always shouting about what to hide and de, whose name is it like to shout?" Seeing Qin Xu and Zhao coming, the doctor in the army hurriedly got up, pointed to the seriously injured old man who was lying sideways with a wet cloth on his head and said: "It's no wonder, the vest has such a big gunshot wound, and it is not easy to survive under the treatment of a certain person." ”
"Can he hear us in his current state?" Qin Xu ignored the doctor's explanation and asked directly. In these years, these doctors in Lu Bu's army are just veterans who are a little older, can read a few words and read a few fragments of medical skills, and can help the brothers who were seriously injured on the battlefield to survive, so they can already be called miracle doctors in the army.
"If it's just a question, it's probably okay, right?" Seeing that Qin Xu's implied words were not listened to by Qin Xu at all, the doctor's face was slightly disappointed, but he also knew that although Qin Xu was only the marching master of the Zuo General's Mansion, he had a very high prestige in the Lu Bu army, and when he saw Qin Xu asking, he didn't dare to say anything else, and explained: "Although this old man is seriously injured and has a cold, he can see that his body has played very well before, and his survival year is extremely strong. But the simple question and answer can still be done. ”
"Since this is the case, this person will bother you more, and when you turn around, you will definitely give you credit at General Hao, so you can step back and rest!" When Qin Xu heard that this old man was fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the disappointed expression of this person just now, and said to the doctor with a gentle expression.
"Sir, could you have heard so-and-so?" The healer, who promised in every way that he would definitely try his best to make the old man better, stepped back and went out with a happy face, Qin Xu took a look at the old man's luxurious clothes and accessories, leaned in and patted the old man's arm gently, and asked in a low voice.
"Well, Ahu...... But you? The old man slowly opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, was stunned for a long time before concentrating his gaze, looked around, took a deep breath, frowned deeply, and seemed to be enduring the pain and said slowly to Qin Xu: "This little brother, where is this old man?" But Brother Meng, you rescue? ”
"Don't worry, old man, it's very safe here!" Qin Xu just heard the old man's unconscious muttering, combined with what the previous military medicine practitioner said, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a smile: "I see that the old man is seriously injured and has no family to accompany him, but this time he has suffered a military disaster?" ”
"Alas......" The old man listened to Qin Xu's question, his face was flushed, he gasped a few times, and seemed to think of something that made him very angry, his lips were cowardly, but finally sighed: "What the little brother said is true, Xuzhou suffered the disaster of the Yellow Turban this time, and the old man and his family wanted to go to Langya to avoid trouble, but unexpectedly encountered a chaotic army on the way, not to mention the loss of all the goods, and the family members were also poisoned, but the old man was favored by God, and he was lucky not to die!" Have pity on my child's family...... My five-year-old grandson ......"
"The old gentleman's day is good, and it is important to take care of your body!" Seeing that the old man was very excited, and the strip of cloth that was tight behind his back seemed to be oozing blood, Qin Xu hurriedly comforted: "I have been listening to the old gentleman shouting Ah Lie just now? Could it be that this is the old gentleman's troubled grandson? When the morning dawns, a craftsman will make a spiritual position for him and send it to the old gentleman to remember! ”
"The old man shouted Ah Gou?" The old man seemed a little sleepy, and after listening to Qin Xu's words, he closed his eyes for a long time before saying, "Presumably the little brother heard it, and the old man didn't recognize this person." cough, it's the old brother who saved you, and I'm already grateful, how dare you bother the little brother to break the bank? I still don't need to......"
"Maybe I misheard!" Seeing that the old man seemed to be very defensive in his words, and he didn't know if he was seriously ill and lacked strength or did it intentionally, Qin Xu didn't care, got up with a smile and said: "No matter what, the deceased is gone, the old gentleman should not be too sad, and recuperate with peace of mind, and come to visit again tomorrow." ”
"Is there anything in this old man that can prove his identity?" Qin Xu saw that the old man was sometimes emotional, sometimes dull, and only said that he had encountered a chaotic army, and he suffered a catastrophe, and he couldn't ask the reason for a while, and the old man was seriously injured and contracted the wind and cold, and his body was weak and tight, so it was not good to continue to ask, so he gave up. It's just that this person's unconscious shouting before was a bit interesting, Qin Xu walked out of the doctor's tent and asked the attendant who was standing aside.
"This old man was there when he was rescued, and there was nothing but this shirt? Could it be that he is a homeless person who has been plagued by war? Hmm, why don't you ask again? Seeing that Qin Xu seemed to be very interested in this old man's something, he hurriedly said.
"No need!" Qin Xu glanced at the tent behind him, shook his head with a smile, and said to the leader: "Wanderers? Have you ever seen a homeless person wearing a silk shirt worth tens of thousands of dollars? and the jade bi with only stumps left on his waist, I'm afraid it's worth a thousand gold! And those hands, and the fat of the whole body, if this is also considered an outcast, what am I waiting for? ”
"Master Qin's book is clear-sighted, and the general will admire it at the end!" Qian Zhao scratched his head, smiled and said, "Then what should I do with this person?" Don't you want to take it to Xuzhou? But this man is unknown......"
"It's okay, I think, this guy will tell me to wait soon!" Qin Xu said with a pointful smile. It's inexplicable.
……
"Captain Zhang! This time out of the city to get so much goods, a certain offering and my father a batch of treasures, rare to receive a lot of praise, this is all your credit, and please drink this cup, to watch the merchant's gratitude! "In the city of Picheng, where Xuzhou is governed, because of the yellow turban attack on the city, the sky has just been darkened and the city has been under martial law, and it is forbidden to light the lights to prevent people from collaborating with thieves and transmitting news outside the city. But this military order is ineffective for the potter, the prince of Xuzhou, and the potter is as usual, in his own mansion banquet and out of the city to "find food" under the command of Zhang Min. It's just that this time the potter seemed to have something on his mind, and his actions were not as excited as the previous ones, and his face was a little pale.
"The eldest prince can be praised by the lord, and for so-and-so, it is like being experienced, and he is very happy!" Zhang Minpan sat behind the desk, listening to what the potter said, his ugly face was full of pride, and he raised the wine cup high and said.
"Hey......"
Zhang Min was about to drink, but unexpectedly, the potter seemed to be frightened, and suddenly screamed, Zhang Min's hand shook, the wine bottle in his hand was not held steadily, and he asked with a smile: "What?" Does the eldest prince have anything to say? ”
"This ...... Oh, yes! Seeing Zhang Min's unconscious appearance, the pottery merchant paused slightly, as if he had made up his mind, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said: "You don't know, a certain Miss Mi has always been in love with the Mi family, and he had a good plan to tie the knot before, how could he suddenly kill a Qin Xu and stir up a certain good thing." A certain thinks so, this time the Yellow Turban besieged the city Lu Bu came to rescue, it is estimated that there will not be many people, but it is a good opportunity, can you ask Zhang Duwei to say a word to your Yellow Turban brothers, is it good to help someone out of this breath before the battle? ”
"This ......" Zhang Min put down the wine cup, smashed his mouth by himself, his face was embarrassed, and said: "The eldest prince is not unaware, this time because of the destruction of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, these brothers in Xuzhou are all in danger, and there is that Kan Xuan intends to work with them one after another to seek wealth and prosperity, I am afraid that I can't look down on the price that the eldest prince paid before!" Besides, now that the Yellow Turbans are attacking the city, the attack is very fierce, so I will contact them at this time, if the lord knows about it......"
"Ha, I didn't think of this, this time the Yellow Turban fought with me in Xuzhou, it was really inconvenient, but it made Zhang Duwei embarrassed! Anyway! Anyway! A trace of coldness flashed in the potter's eyes, and he grinned with yellow teeth and laughed: "Let's just assume that so-and-so didn't say it!" However, Zhang Duwei also reassured, my father's 20,000 Danyang soldiers are not vegetarians, plus Lu Bu's reinforcements, some of this battle will be fought, this is a good time for us to take the opportunity to reap the benefits, as for the matter of Qin Xu, we will talk about it later! Come, a certain respects to Zhang Duwei! ”
"Thank you, eldest son!" Zhang Min raised the wine cup and drank it all, and said with a bold face: "Hou Mou must always pay attention to Qin Xu's movements, and wait for the opportunity to help the eldest prince fulfill his wish!" Please! ”
"This wish, or so-and-so, you don't have to worry about it, and please go with peace of mind!" Seeing that Zhang Min drank the wine without any doubt, the potter's face suddenly became a little distorted, and he said with a hideous tone.
"What do you mean by the eldest prince...... Poof......" Zhang Min's voice did not fall, his face suddenly showed an extremely painful look, holding his lower abdomen and looking at the sneering potter in disbelief, he suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood mist, and wanted to stand up and pounce on the potter, but as if he had been drained of all his strength, his body shook a few times, and he fell heavily on the desk.
"Zhang Duwei, don't blame a certain heart for ignoring friendship! It's just that the people you provoked this time are too huge, and even my father is too busy to take care of himself this time, and I don't want to give you a funeral, and I don't want Xuzhou to give you a funeral! The potter took off a long sword from the wall, slowly pulled it out and approached Zhang Min, sighed and said: "Originally, for the sake of you and me, I wanted to leave you a whole corpse, but my father had to take a look at your head to rest assured, and I could only offend!" ”
"Big ...... The eldest prince and let a certain ...... Be a clear ghost, who is that person......" Zhang Min's limbs were twitching, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and he forced himself to squeeze out these words.
"I really want to tell you, but unfortunately I really don't know, if you opened the old man's letter, maybe you would know." The pottery merchant approached Zhang Min step by step, as if he suddenly remembered something, paused and raised his sword blade and said: "But my father has repeated a name, it seems to be surnamed Meng, yes, called Meng De or what?" It's probably this old man's son, when you get to the Nine Springs, don't forget to apologize to others! ”
"The eldest son! Big things are wrong! The lord fainted! Just as the potter's sword was off and fell on Zhang Min's shoulder, and when he was about to make up another sword to take his head, there was suddenly an anxious knock on the door and an uneasy shout outside the door!
"What?" When the potter heard the news, he was like a thunderbolt, and he didn't realize that the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't care about Zhang Min, who fell to the ground as if he was out of breath, and hurriedly pushed people to the case a few times, and ordered the family general to order that no one could enter and take the door.
Mengde ...... Hum! Potter! Tao Qian! Xuzhou! Use me like a dog when you call me, and when you are in danger, you will abandon a certain like a piece of, wait, I Zhang Min will definitely come back! Just as the potter was rushing, Zhang Min, who had just been lying on the ground with a poisoned look, suddenly moved, jumped up violently, spit out the blood and flesh in his mouth, looked at the direction of the potter's departure with great resentment in his eyes, covered his shoulders and followed, and disappeared into the night.
