Chapter 58 Asking for money is not dying
"The horses are stepping on the snow and the flowers are blooming, and the fairy spirit is still sublimated. The cold wind is as sharp as the blade, and the hoarfrost hangs on the wall than the strong wall. ”
Cao Ming looked at the scene outside the carriage, and suddenly felt in her heart that even if she was in a southerly place, she could feel the cold of winter.
Bian, who was in the same car, said with a smile: "Niangniang is really literate, unlike the concubine who only knows how to dance, and now she can only hope that Pi'er will come out, and she will fulfill the wish of the concubine." ”
When Bian was a concubine for Cao Cao, she was a kabuki performer, so she was very envious of talented people.
Cao Ming shook his head and said, "I only slightly sigh that the climate is cold, which is much worse than the true literati and artists, so it's good if you don't laugh at me." ”
"The mother is too modest!" Bian thought to himself that it was not easy for Cao Ming, he went through hardships along the way to become a queen, and if he was afraid that he would die several times.
After the carriage had been driving for a while, the speed gradually slowed down, as if there was a danger ahead.
Cao Ming said worriedly: "I don't think these armor soldiers are like good people, and now my grandfather is drunk like mud, if there is anything wrong later, you take Cao Pi to take the first step." ”
Bian looked at Cao Pi who was sleeping in his arms, and said hesitantly: "If something really happens, please take Pi'er and escape on horseback, the concubine should protect her mother." ”
"Don't panic, maybe I'm too careful!" Cao Ming hoped that the other party would not have a thief's heart, after all, the number of soldiers was beyond his expectations, and once more than 300 people rebelled, it would be over.
Cao Ming lifted the curtain of the car to observe the situation, thinking that the road was not too difficult to walk, and there must be a reason why they slowed down.
The carriage stopped again, and then Cao Ming heard a noise, as if something was happening in front of her.
Cao Ming got out of the carriage with her sword, she already felt the aura of danger, and the armor soldiers around her were all stiff-faced, as if they were very hostile to her.
Cao Ming walked to the front of the team only to find that it was Cao Song who was drunk there, no wonder the convoy suddenly stopped.
Cao Song's wine seemed to be half awake: "Why are you walking so slowly, it really delays my trip, I'll let Cao Cao clean you up!" ”
Zhang Min's face was a little ugly and said: "Of course, the march is slow in this cold weather, the old man's words are too much, the brothers escort you all the way, there is no merit and hard work, right?" ”
Cao Ming stepped forward and persuaded: "My grandfather drank too much, if there is anything offensive to the general, please take more care of the general." ”
Cao Ming thought to himself that Cao Song was a person who had been a lieutenant, and ordinary people rarely dared to disobey him, while Zhang Min was a small leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and he was usually the lord of the emperor.
Now let Zhang Min serve Cao Song, who is not related to him, he will definitely have a lot of dissatisfaction, two people with tempers meet together, and the final outcome is to fight to the death.
Zhang Min arched his hand and said: "Niangniang is too polite, this is what a villain should do, let him if the old man has a bad temper." ”
Cao Ming nodded and said, "You won't run this trip in vain, and after you escort you to the state border, I will distribute silver taels to you." ”
"Thank you for the reward!" Zhang Min's mood improved instantly, since the other party promised to give him money, all the difficult things were much easier.
Cao Song said angrily: "How can I give them the assets of my Cao family, this guy clearly wants to blackmail our Cao family, from now on, I don't need them to escort me, I will go back where I came from!" ”
Cao Ming's heart suddenly felt half cold, and he finally managed to control the situation, and this old man messed up the situation again.
"Humph! You old thing is looking for death! Zhang Min stabbed Cao Song in the abdomen with a sword, and smashed it hard a few times, and the person basically couldn't be saved.
Pity Cao Song, who asked for money and didn't want his life, just threw his life on the road, of course, his death was only the beginning of the tragedy.
The thieves rushed over like crazy, the fighting ability of the family was far inferior to the thief soldiers, and the number of people was much smaller than that of the other party, so they were quickly cleaned up by the thieves, and even the women and children were not spared.
Cao Ming took the opportunity to kill back to the side of the carriage, but the handlebar style had already been killed, so it was possible that the people inside were gone.
Cao Ming lifted the curtain of the carriage, and it was empty inside, but there was movement under the carriage.
It turned out that Bian and Cao Pi were hiding under the car, and Cao Ming hurriedly shouted for the two to climb out, not looking for death under the car.
"Stop!" Seeing that the fire was almost over, Zhang Min immediately ordered his men to stop killing, and there was a pungent smell of blood everywhere, and a carriage of gold fell to the ground, and the gold shone brightly in the sun.
"Have you killed enough?" Cao Ming suppressed her emotions, things had already reached this point, and she could only negotiate terms with the other party.
Zhang Min wiped the blood on the sword and said: "Niangniang also saw it just now, that old thing insulted us and didn't say anything, and wanted to cut off Lao Tzu's wealth, and anyone would not be able to bear it." ”
Bian's eyes moistened and said: "You have already killed everyone, you can take all this money, I hope you can let us go." ”
"Impossible!" Zhang Min rejected Bian's request, if he let Cao Cao's wife and son run away, wouldn't he kill so many people in vain.
Bian begged: "Then please spare Niangniang, do you really want to kill her?" ”
"This" Zhang Min's heart was in trouble for a while, and now he just offended Cao Cao, if Cao Ming is killed together, this is equivalent to cutting off all the back roads, because who dares to leave a person who even the queen dares to kill, this influence is second only to killing the current saint.
At this time, a thief ran over and shouted, "Something is wrong! There is a large number of cavalry coming ahead, let's run away! ”
"How many people came?" Zhang Min thought to himself that this has not yet reached the state border, how can there be people and horses who will come over, in case they can't beat the other party, they will all be planted inside.
The thief panicked and said: "All of them are armored elite horsemen, I'm afraid there must be thousands of people, or we will run now!" ”
The cavalry faced the infantry on flat ground like a father to a son, and Zhang Min's subordinates were all lightly armed, and they were not equipped with spears and high shields for defense at all, which means that they did not even have the ability to resist.
"Get them into the carriage and get out of the way!"
Zhang Min thought to himself that he had to have some chips in his hand, in case he was caught up by the other party, he could still be threatened, they should care about the lives of the three people.
"No!" The thieves tied up the three men with ropes, and then they all got into the same carriage, and by this time a lot of smoke and dust had drifted in the distance, and it seemed that the other party was about to catch up.
"Drive!" Zhang Min personally drove the carriage and fled, and the rest of the thieves realized that it was over, and the leader ran away alone regardless of his feelings, didn't he let them stay and die.
Yang Heng led more than 1,000 elite horsemen to rush over quickly, and the tragic situation in front of him let him know that something was wrong, and immediately ordered to hunt down all the fleeing thieves.
After all, people can't run on four legs, and it doesn't take long for most of the thieves to die, and the rest of the thieves who want to resist are even worse, and once they stop, they may be knocked to death.
"Don't kill me! I can tell you the direction they are taking! A thief was so frightened that he trembled, but fortunately he was lucky enough to meet Yang Heng, and the other party did not choose to kill him.
"Hurry up!" Yang Heng's heart was very anxious, he was still late, it was likely that Cao Ming had already had an accident now.
The thief pointed to the direction where Zhang Min left, Yang Heng took the knife in his hand and killed him, and then took three hundred horsemen to find him, and let the rest of the people continue to chase and kill the thief.
Zhang Min heard a scream not far away, and accelerated the speed of the carriage in a hurry, but suddenly overturned the carriage because the speed was too fast, and the three people in the carriage were also dizzy and dizzy.
"Mother, I'm afraid!" Where did Cao Pi experience this, he was a little overwhelmed with fright, but fortunately, Bian hurriedly comforted him and finally controlled Cao Pi's emotions.
Zhang Min glanced at the broken carriage and thought that this carriage could no longer be used, but now that he had run a long way, those people should not chase after him again.
"Which of you have something to eat?" Zhang Min felt the ** in his abdomen, so he asked the three of them for dry food.
Cao Ming glanced at Zhang Min: "You tied us up yourself, and there was nothing to eat in the carriage at that time, and the food and water were all on top of other carriages." ”
Zhang Min rolled his eyes, pointed his sword at Cao Ming and said, "I can only offend you now, you should have milk at such a young age, hurry up and squeeze out a little for me to drink!" ”
"What?" Cao Ming's face turned green in an instant, this guy actually wanted to drink human milk, and he didn't have this kind of thing for him.
Bian blushed and said: "A woman will only have milk when she gives birth, and the queen has never been pregnant, and besides, you are disrespectful to the mother." ”
Cao Ming thought to herself, eldest sister, I have served you, it is so clear that there is no need to explain, and now it is not to discuss nursing.
Zhang Min didn't give up and said: "Even if she doesn't have milk, then you should always have it, hurry up and let me drink a few sips!" ”
Bian shook his head and said: "Pi'er has already been weaned, so the concubine has no milk, so the general should find food by himself." ”
Cao Ming was a little angry and said: "You are such an adult, you still want to drink children's things, and you don't feel ashamed to say it!" ”
Zhang Min is indeed unbearable, and now he can only choose to eat human flesh, but it is difficult to decide for a while.
Zhang Min took out a dagger and said: "There is no food in the cold and snow here, so now we can only eat human flesh, there is too little meat for children to eat, and Mrs. Cao is a little old." ”
Cao Ming was left with herself when she heard it: "Big brother, don't get excited, my meat is actually very unpalatable, and I haven't taken a bath for a long time." ”
Zhang Min licked his tongue and said: "How can the phoenix meat be unpalatable, no matter how many people want to eat it, they don't have a chance, I won't eat too much, and it will definitely not hurt your life." ”
"Don't come here, help!" Cao Ming stared at the dagger with a frightened face, this Zhang Min is really going to be eaten, who hurried over to save my life.
"I've got pastries in my bag!" Bian suddenly remembered that there were also pastries, which he was afraid that Cao Pi would be hungry halfway through, so he specially asked the kitchen to prepare them.
