Chapter 12: Sisters Meet
Because when she was naked, she was suddenly bumped into by someone, Cao Yun'e was ashamed, and when she hurriedly covered her body with her clothes, she even covered her face together. When she heard the sound, with a probe effort, Zhong Wuregret was gone.
As long as the person who came was not Chen Ming's person, Cao Yun'e would be relieved, she was still very weak and didn't want to pay too much attention to what was in front of her. However, when she heard the girl's left sentence of lewd thief, right sentence of lewd thief, and even Lingxiang was swayed by what she said, this aroused her resentment.
Cao Yun'e is a strange woman who dares to love and hate, she really can't help but be insulted by her husband in front of her, so she desperately came forward to defend Zhong Wuregret.
"Oh, sister, you don't know, those young ladies used to talk like this, and the result was ......" The girl suddenly stopped when she said this, looked at Cao Yun'e fixedly, and exclaimed in surprise: "Sister E, why are you?" ”
"You are?" Because the light in the cave was too dim and the other party was backlit, Cao Yun'e didn't see the other party's appearance clearly.
"I'm Qu Rong! You don't remember me? You gave me a bracelet, you see! Qu Rong raised her left hand, she was wearing an emerald green and transparent bracelet on her wrist, and connoisseurs knew at a glance that this bracelet was not ordinary.
"Oops! Are you the little daughter of the county princess, Rong'er? ”
"My sister remembered me!" Qu Rong happily came to Cao Yun'e's bedside, she looked at Cao Yun'e's delicate and weak appearance, and asked with concern: "Sister, is she being bullied by that lewd thief?" ”
"Don't let you talk about my husband like that, if he hadn't sacrificed his life to save me, not only would my family hate me unfillable, but there would be no Cao Yun'e in the world." After that, Cao Yun'e held back her tears and didn't let it fall.
Looking at Cao Yun'e's heartbroken appearance, Qu Rong asked with concern: "Good sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you ...... How did you hide here? She said this, but in fact, she thought to herself, "Didn't that thief snatch you here?" ”
Seeing that the young lady was in tears, Ling Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and handed a handkerchief to Cao Yun'e to wipe her tears. Unexpectedly, Cao Yun'e didn't take the handkerchief, and said coldly: "I can't afford your service, from now on, find someone else by yourself, and follow Miss Qu." ”
Lingxiang was so frightened that she knelt down, she didn't know Cao Yun'e's blame for her: "Miss, it's the slave's fault, the slave shouldn't suspect my uncle, I'm just afraid of Miss...... Just said that, the slave and maid knew that they were wrong, so spare the slave and maid, and then the slave and maid kowtowed to their uncle and admitted their mistakes, begging you not to drive me away. ”
Lingxiang said, constantly kowtowing to admit her mistakes, blood was already pouring out of her forehead, but Cao Yun'e was still unmoved.
This was unexpected by Qu Rong, she knew that Lingxiang had been with Cao Yun'e for a long time, although she was the main maid, but the two of them were inseparable in life and life, and they were like sisters, but she didn't expect Cao Yun'e to drive away the maid who had lived with her for many years in order to maintain Zhong Wuregret, not to be angry, Cao Yun'e would never do this.
Qu Rong has also seen some famous ladies who have been abused by real lewd thieves in the city, but they show either a look of self-pity and self-pity, or the shame of being trapped in a corrupt family style, and no one has ever dared to justify that person.
Cao Yun'e not only has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, but also believes that her intelligence is not inferior to that of a man, in the past, she did not care about those powerful and famous people at all, but now she has no regrets about Zhong Wuregret's affection and temperament.
"Is Sister E too deeply trapped, or is she sick and confused?" Qu Rong was a little incomprehensible. But she also understands that Cao Yun'e is also warning herself not to slander Zhong Wuregret casually, for Zhong Wuregret, Cao Yun'e can give up everything, and even deny her as a sister.
Qu Rong was also a little unhappy in her heart, and secretly thought, "Is it worth doing this for the sake of a lewd thief?" However, at this time, there are more curious elements in her heart, Cao Yun'e is not the kind of person who has no opinions and no city!
However, in the face of Cao Yun'e's master and maid, she was embarrassed to ask.
Qu Rong rolled her eyes, and hurriedly said to Cao Yun'e: "Sister E, let Lingxiang get up, there are a few sisters who came with me, they are a few steps behind me, now they are outside, there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, in the dark night, they are also worried and afraid, I will find them, let Lingxiang make the fire prosperous, let everyone squeeze, rest for one night, and we will go back tomorrow, okay?" ”
She also apologized to Cao Yun'e in disguise, the purpose of their coming was to hunt down the so-called lewd thieves, and now when she said that she was going back, she would show Cao Yun'e that she would no longer pursue Zhong Wuregret's matter.
Cao Yun'e's face was a little better, she nodded, and said to Lingxiang: "Go get some firewood and make the fire stronger." ”
Lingxiang got up like an amnesty, came to the corner of the cave, and brought the firewood that Zhong Wuregret had prepared to add it.
When Qu Rong brought a few "female heroes", Cao Yun'e asked Lingxiang to bring the chicken and fish soup that Zhong Wuregret had burned, although it was not much, but everyone could share a few bites, and it was very good to have dry food.
Everyone praised the deliciousness of the pheasant and fish soup, and they all said that Cao Yun'e was blessed. A "heroine", who doesn't know the times, asked Lingxiang how she made such a delicious meal. As soon as the words came out, they found that their leader looked wrong, and he actually reversed his usual straightforward boldness, humming and pulling to hide his embarrassment.
Looking at Cao Yun'e's restless appearance, Qu Rong knew that she was hanging on to Zhong and had no regrets, so she got up and said to the "chivalrous": "Everyone knows the sister E I told you before, right?" ”
"Yes!" "The heroine of the women!" "House of Wealth!" "Fairy Chen!" ……
The "female heroes" are all gossiping about the best things to say.
"Do you know that Sister E is already married?" Qu Rong said.
It's going to fry.
"Sister Fairy is married? How did we not know? "Someone came back from Chen Guo last month and said that my sister doesn't want to be rich and noble, and I don't know where she went, how can she say that she will marry?" "I heard that Chen Ming's lewd thief wanted to rob his sister, but my sister didn't know where she fled to, should she be arrested again and get married?" ……
"Nonsense!" Qu Rong scolded angrily, and then said: "Lying on the bed is the sister E I told you." ”
"Wow!" These "heroes" were suddenly shocked, and they rushed to the bedside.
"Sister E is not feeling well, everyone stand away." The next words made these "heroes" even more shocking: "Sister E's husband is the lewd thief we used to hunt down." ”
I was shocked and speechless.
"Maybe we made a mistake, but the person Sister E likes will never be wrong! As soon as the day dawns. We'll go back to the city. After that, Qu Rong pointed to the two little sisters with knives and said, "You should guard the entrance of the cave first, and don't let wild beasts and enemies come in." Then he said softly to Lingxiang: "You go and get Sister E's husband back, just say that we will not kill Sister E for the sake of Sister E, okay?" ”
Lingxiang looked back at Cao Yun'e, and Cao Yun'e said, "Do what Sister Rong says." ”
Lingxiang immediately walked outside the cave, but looking at the swarthy patch, where did she look for it? Lingxiang couldn't help but be worried, it was not to go out, it was not to go out, she had to stand at the entrance of the cave in a daze.
After arranging for everyone to perform their own duties, Qu Rong came to Cao Yun'e's bedside and asked quietly: "We are looking for that prostitute ......, no, when that person was looking for, I heard that there were robbers attacking the village, and it was said that there was a lot of noise, and when we rushed over, someone told us that Cao Zhuang was attacked, is it your home?" ”
Sighing, Cao Yun'e said, "Yes." ”
"My father wants to keep the party safe, who dares to kill people, set fires, plunder money and goods in the place under my father's jurisdiction?" Qu Rong asked angrily.
"Who else but Chen Ming? This time, he used the soldiers of the tribesmen who were quarrying. Cao Yun'e said.
"What?" Qu Rong was furious: "Is he trying to start a war with the State of Chu?" ”
"They didn't bring chariots, they just came with some armor soldiers, and those armor soldiers are disguised as thieves, and you can't catch them." Cao Yun'e said calmly.
"I heard the county Sima say that he had fought with Chen Ming's clan soldiers, and those clan soldiers were very powerful, especially Ma Zheng Chen Ming, who led the army, was an outstanding general, and it was not easy for you to escape under him." Qu Rong said admiringly.
"If it weren't for my husband, I would definitely not have escaped."
"What is your husband doing in Caozhuang?"
"Nursing home."
"Ahh Qu Rong was taken aback: "Nursing, nursing hospitals? "I didn't expect that the beauty of Chen Guo not only found a big thief, but also their Caozhuang's nursing home.
"Yes," mentioning Zhong Wuregret, Cao Yun'e not only did not feel inferior because of his low status, but was very proud. "The clan soldiers led by Chen Ming suffered a big loss under him, if it wasn't for him leading the courtyard to fight, Cao Zhuang would definitely not be able to escape the disaster of destroying the village. Moreover, it was he who rescued our master and maid alone under the layers of defense of Chen Ming's soldiers. ”
Then, Cao Yun'e told Qu Rong from the beginning of the attack on the village to the rescue of their master and maid, from beginning to end.
Not to mention Qu Rong, even the other female "heroes" she brought were dumbfounded, feeling that Cao Yun'e was telling them about ghosts and gods, and Qu Rong even thought that Cao Yun'e was deliberately praising her husband by taking advantage of this matter.
Cao Yun'e patiently told Qu Rong about these things, which was indeed selfish.
A few years ago, because Cao Yun'e's reputation in the Chen State spread far and wide, even many people in the Chu State knew about it.
Qu Rong's father is the county commander of Chu State, usually in order to curry favor, everyone is not to praise Qu Rong's talent and wisdom to the sky, but in the market, there is no shortage of good people, when I heard someone say that Qu Rong is not as good as Cao Yun'e, Qu Rong was a little unconvinced, and quietly mixed in the caravan to go to Chen Guo, found Cao Yun'e and wanted to compete with her, and humiliated Cao Yun'e out of anger.
Unexpectedly, the result of the contest was finally succumbed to Cao Yun'e's talent, and the two also worshiped their sisters, and the jasper bracelet worn by Qu Rong was a gift from Cao Yun'e to her at that time.
Cao Yun'e has already seen that Zhong Wuregret is definitely not a thing in the pool, before Cao Zhuang was changed, Cao Yun'e also wanted to rely on financial resources to help Zhong Wuregret, now that Cao Zhuang was destroyed, she happened to meet Qu Rong, Cao Yun'e wanted to use Qu Rong's father's relationship to seek a position for Zhong Wuregret, so that he could come out as soon as possible. Therefore, she took the trouble to tell Qu Rong in detail about the changes in Cao Zhuang.
But the more she told the truth, the more Qu Rong and her "female heroes" thought she was exaggerating.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Son of Heaven lost power, Wang Gang untied the bonds, and in the annexation wars in which the princes were strong and weak, and the big swallowed the small, many countries suffered the doom of destruction, so the admiration of force reached the peak of perfection.
The Zhou Dynasty implemented the state and field system. The characteristic of this system is that the territory of the state is divided from the inside to the outside into several different groups of regions, such as yi, suburban, herding, wild, forest, and fang. The Chinese people are made up of members of the Zhou people and their supporters, who are colonizers who naturally live on the outskirts of the country. Savages are the vanquished, and they dwell in the wilderness.
At that time, the system of "Chinese people should be soldiers, and savages should not be soldiers" was implemented. In other words, Chen Ming's clan soldiers were well-trained ace regular troops, while Cao Zhuang's Huyuan was nothing more than a guerrilla force composed of people from the mountains and wilderness.
However, according to Cao Yun'e's account, it is equivalent to a rabble of extremely low quality, and the well-trained trump card regular army was defeated.
Thinking about it like this, Qu Rong gradually felt bored, Cao Yun'e saw this, knew that it was useless to say more, and everyone began to feel sleepy in the silence, and after a while, everyone fell asleep.
Qu Rong was asleep, and suddenly felt a little cold on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that her "heroic" sisters were all tied up with vines and a mouthful of thatch in their mouths. Zhong Wuregret was smiling and slapping her face with the blade of his sword.
