The sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, accompanied by a series of extremely peculiar whistles, and Zhou Cang let out a long breath.

"Old Zhou, you're back!"

Outside the mountain gate, a loud voice came, followed by a burly man walking into the Taoist temple. The rain was heavy, and the scene in the Taoist temple was clear at a glance. Seeing the presence of a stranger at first glance, Wang Meng immediately stopped, subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and stepped back.

"Daddy!"

A figure rushed down the steps and pounced on Wang Meng.

That shout made Wang Meng Lingling shudder, and the spear bell in his hand suddenly fell out of his hand, and fell into the muddy water, splashing.

"Tiger Head!"

Wang Meng took two steps and hugged Wang Mai, who pounced on him.

In front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Cao Ji, Cao Peng and Deng Ji stood quietly, looking at the scene of the reunion of father and son in front of them, and they all smiled......

Calculate the day, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Father and son were separated for fifteen years! But how many things have happened in these fifteen days?

The concern in my heart is not enough for outsiders. Wang Mai has never expressed his thoughts, but at this moment, the feelings hidden in Wang Mai's heart suddenly exploded. Cao Peng, who had always thought he knew Wang Mai, couldn't help but be slightly moved. He sighed in his heart, and unconsciously, the appearance of a white-haired old man appeared in his mind. In this life, father and son may never be reunited.

A big hand was on his shoulder!

Cao Peng turned his head to look, but saw Cao Ji with a kind smile on his face.

With a warm heart, he held Cao Ji's arm tightly: In my last life, I failed to take care of my father, but in this life, there will never be any more mistakes.

After Wang Meng's father and son were excited, Wang Meng also saw Cao Ji.

The two old brothers hugged each other at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and they said a thousand words, but they didn't know where to start.

Under Deng Ji's reminder, Cao Ji let everyone into the hall. The Daxiong Treasure Hall, which was originally quite empty, poured in more than 20 people, and it suddenly seemed a little crowded.

Zhou Cang settled his people down first, and Deng Juye brought the boiled mixed noodles and cake soup.

This group of heroes who usually eat a lot of meat and drink in a big bowl are all hungry after running around all day. I don't care about the simplicity of this bread soup, and I eat it with relish one by one. Wang Meng and Zhou Cang also drank a bowl of noodle cake soup, and then they opened the conversation.

"Qu Shuai ......" Zhou Cang asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Wang Meng smiled and said, "A bunch of fools, what can you do to me?" I took them around the area around the thorn sun and then withdrew. At this time, it is estimated that those idiots are still spinning in the ditch, and I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up for a while. What's going on on your side? ”

"It's the same as Qu Shuai's situation, those idiots can't catch up with us at all."

After saying that, the two couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle, this Zhou Yingying ......" Cao Peng couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Cang waved his hand again and again, "Little brother, I can't deserve the word hero, I can't deserve it...... If it weren't for Qu Shuai to save my life, Zhou Cang would have become a dry bone in the grave. It's a pity that Qu Shuai later went incognito, otherwise what would I have done in Tufu Mountain that round? ”

It can be heard that Zhou Cang is very respectful to Wang Meng this week.

Wang Meng was on the side, showing a look of surprise.

"Lao Wang, what are you going to do next?"

"Next ......"

Without waiting for Wang Meng to answer, he heard Zhou Cang say, "Plans?" Of course, it's to go back to the mountains and live our happy life. Brother Cao, according to me, you all go over, these brothers, at first glance, are all capable people, we are also happy to have a good time on Tufu Mountain. ”

Wang Meng said: "We can't stay in Jianyang, and now we can only go to Tufu Mountain, and settle down for the time being...... Lao Cao, otherwise you can go with me, your surname will be bullied everywhere. The situation on Lao Zhou's side is not bad, and there are two or three hundred brothers under him, and the surrounding officials and soldiers can't help them. Let's settle down now, and then make plans when the situation is better in the future, how about it? ”

Wang Meng and Zhou Cang's words annoyed a person!

Dian Wei said angrily: "The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should serve the country. You are all capable people, why do you want to be the one who steals chickens and dogs? ”

Wang Meng and Zhou Cang were suddenly furious!

"Who are you?"

"The eldest husband doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, Chen Liudianwei is a certain family."

There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the words on both sides.

Cao Ji hurriedly wanted to persuade him, but Cao Peng grabbed his arm, shook his head slightly, and signaled him not to speak.

Who knows, after Dian Wei signed up, Wang Meng and Zhou Cang were stunned.

"You, it's Dian Wei?"

"Exactly!"

"But Captain Wu Meng under the account of Gong Cao, Dian Wei Dian Junming?"

Dian Wei stood still and bowed his head proudly.

Just looking at that style was enough to make Cao Peng nod secretly. I'm afraid that only Dian Wei dares to report his name without fear in this situation.

"I've heard the name of Dianjun for a long time, but I never thought that I would be able to meet today, Zhou Cang took the liberty of it!"

Zhou Cang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Wang Meng also bowed his hand and bowed slightly. At the same time, he looked at Cao Peng and the others with a puzzled gaze, but got an affirmative nod from Cao Peng and the others.

"I've heard that Dianjun is ...... in Wancheng"

Dian Wei's face flushed, but he replied cheerfully: "That's right, Dian was ambushed in Wancheng and almost lost his surname. If it weren't for Ah Fu and Wen Chang to save each other, they would have already become dead people by now. You two, don't be happy! I still say the same thing, the eldest husband has practiced a skill, and when he relies on a three-foot sword, he will not be able to make meritorious deeds. But how can you two just think about being a bandit and have no ambition? ”

Wang Meng and Zhou Cang glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

Zhou Cang said: "Dian Jun, it's not that I have no ambitions, it's really ...... As you know, we were originally working for the Yellow Turban. After the death of General Zhang Mancheng, we were scattered by the officers and soldiers and wandered around. In the early years, we also had the idea of clinging to the imperial court...... But then ......"

Wang Meng is simpler, "We are thieves, once we are thieves, we are thieves all our lives." No matter what we do, the court always lets us go.

Lao Zhou and the others also wanted to belong at the beginning, but they were almost killed by the official army...... What's that guy's name? Old Zhou, you told me. ”

Zhou Cang said bitterly: "Nanjun Sima Wenpin." ”

Wei Yan seemed to suddenly remember something, and blurted out: "I remembered, are you the green forest mountain thieves?" ”

Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"In the beginning, we were begging for a living in the green forest mountains. After Liu Biao became the master of Jingxiang, he began to purge heroes from all walks of life. At that time, it was the guy named Wen Ping who presided over and tricked us down the mountain first, and then ...... In that battle, we suffered heavy losses, and finally had to flee to Tufu Mountain. ”

"I see......"

Wei Yan suddenly realized.

Dian Wei frowned, "Liu Jingsheng is a self-defended thief, and it shouldn't be a big deal." He doesn't want you, why don't you go to Cao Gong? ”

Zhou Cang said: "It's not that we don't want to, there is really no one to recommend." Besides, Cao Gong had not captured Yuzhou at that time, and even if we had the heart to defect, we were afraid that even Yuzhou would not be able to pass through. It's not that you don't know that the Yingchuan clan in Runan hates us to the core. ”

I think that at the beginning, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yingchuan Runan was indeed the hardest hit area.

In particular, the local wealthy families are deeply affected by the Yellow Turban. So much so that after the Battle of Changshe, the Yellow Turban declined, and the blow of the Yuzhou Gate Valve to the remnants of the Yellow Turban can be described as ferocious. In addition, Liu Chong, the king of Chen at that time, also suppressed the yellow turban thieves, so that the local yellow turban thieves had to stay away. Zhou Cang seems to be reckless, but he is also a person who knows the severity. When he said this, Dian Wei understood.

"In that case, why don't you come with me? A certain family is not talented, but in front of Cao Gong to introduce you, he said that he can also fight for fame, it is better than being a thief for a lifetime, and even the babies will be implicated by you and laughed at by others. Dian Wei said with wide eyes.

Zhou Cang's eyes lit up, but after hesitating for a moment, he looked at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng looked at Cao Peng......

"Lao Wang, let's go to Xudu!" Cao Ji saw Wang Meng's concern, "Since Brother Dian has spoken, it is also a way out." In our life, it is estimated that this is the case, and it doesn't matter where we go. But we have to think about the children, you can't be a bandit for the rest of your life, don't you think that's the truth? In the past, we didn't have anyone in Xu, and we were afraid of being bullied. But now, with his brothers, he can be regarded as having something to rely on...... Hutou is not young anymore, and when he arrives in Xudu, he is training, and he can't say that he will be able to be a general in the future. ”

Cao Ji's words hit Wang Meng's heart.

Why did he leave the Yellow Turban Army in the first place? On the one hand, it is because it can be seen that the Yellow Turban Army is no longer a climate; On the other hand, it is also a future consideration for the king to buy.

"In this case, I have to ask the Dianjun!"

Dian Wei grinned and laughed, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

He patted his chest to pack the ticket, which also made Wang Meng and the others more relieved.

"Qu Shuai ......"

"Lao Zhou, since we are determined to defect to Cao Gong, the word Qu Shuai, don't mention it again in the future. Call me big brother, that's enough! ”

Zhou Cang nodded hurriedly and said, "Big brother, there are still some brothers in my mountain......

"Come along, come along." Dian Wei said with a smile: "Cao Gonggong is recovering the Han Dynasty, and now he needs help. When I get back, I'll introduce you. ”

Zhou Cang said: "There are still some trivial matters in my village, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go over at once." Moreover, although I want to defect to Cao Gong, the brothers in the village may not all be willing...... It's better to go like this, the eldest brother will go with Dianjun first, and Zuoqiu and I will go back to the village and deal with the matter. After the arrangements were made, I took my brothers to join Cao Gong...... Dianjun, what do you think is the case? ”

Dian Wei didn't care, and bowed his head slightly.

It was Cao Peng who reminded: "Uncle, Zhou Cang and they will go to Runan when the time comes, and they will always need a token to prove their identity." It's better for you to leave one thing, and they will save trouble at that time, and after you go back, you can also let the people in the village settle down. ”

"So...... Take my halberd and go back. ”

Dian Wei thought about it, took out one of the double iron halberds, and handed it to Zhou Cang.

Everyone sat around and discussed the details in detail...... The rain outside is getting lighter!

Wang Meng said: "The rain has stopped, let's go on the road as soon as possible!" It's a secluded place, but it's not very safe after all...... Lao Zhou, you leave me ten people, and you and Zuoqiu take the others back to Tufu Mountain. When the time comes, our brothers will see you in Xudu and do a great career together. ”

Zhou Cang agreed, ordered ten people to stay, and then took the others with him, and then said goodbye and left.

And Cao Peng and the others cleaned up and let Deng Juye catch the car, Zhang's Hong Lady and Cao Nan sat in the carriage, and the rest of the people rode horses, stepping on the slanting sun after the rain, and left Laojunguan!

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the camp of the Nine Women's City, Huang Jie sat in the center with some blankness.

Chen knelt in front of the case and said: "Young General, the last general is incompetent, and he was run away by those thieves!" ”

Huang Jie glanced at Chen Yi, waved his hand and said, "Run, run...... Anyway, those untouchables can't toss any storms. ”

"Major General......

"It's time for us to go home!" Huang shot up and said softly: "Old man Pang sued us!" I didn't expect that old thing to be a pariah...... My father sent someone to say that Jiangxia was a little unpeaceful, so let's go back immediately. Early tomorrow morning, Deng Ji will come back to hand over. ”

As he spoke, he bypassed the long case and walked out of the military tent.

The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh. Huang Zhu took a deep breath, suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, and said to himself: "Cao Peng, count yourself lucky!" ”
