Chapter 3: Surrender
"Ding Chen, Cao Cao had a bad plot and failed to assassinate the Taiwei, although he escaped today, he would inevitably die sooner or later. A certain Xi'er is strong in martial arts, and he must have been kept in the dark. If you are wise, throw up your sword and surrender at once, and you will be spared. ”
Lu Bu straddled the red rabbit horse and looked down at Ding Chen condescendingly.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he heard Hao Meng say in a loud voice: "Wenhou, don't ...... This person killed Hao Jian just now. ”
"Shut up!"
Lu Bu said sharply: "When a certain family speaks, how can there be any interjection."
Besides, if the husband fights, death and injury are inevitable. A certain family has joined the army since Wuyuan, and tens of millions of people died under the halberd of Fang Tianhua of a certain family. If every man wants to take revenge as you do, won't the enemies of a certain house be all over the world...... As for Hao Jian, he died when he died, and he was buried thickly. In the final analysis, he is also not good at learning, so who is to blame? ”
Hao Meng was Lu Bu's general, and he followed Lu Bu as early as when Lu Bu was still the chief secretary of the state.
He was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, but he had no choice but to accumulate a lot of power. Lu Bu spoke like this, which also made Hao Meng dare not speak nonsense again.
Because he knows very well that Lu Bu is moody, and if he is angered, even the king of heaven will dare to do it.
Therefore, Hao Meng could only look at Ding Chen viciously, and at the same time hoped in his heart that Ding Chen would never agree to Lu Bu.
There was a faint blood mark on Ding Chen's handsome face, which was left by Fang Cai's fight with Lu Bu.
He listened to Lu Bu's words, but his face was expressionless, and the ring knife in his hand slowly crossed in front of him.
It's just that there is a trace of resentment in my heart!
Since you, Cao Apu, have decided to assassinate Dong Zhuo, why don't you say hello in advance, so that I can be prepared?
Now it's good that you failed the assassination attempt and walked away.
And Sister Ah and Ang are trapped in Luoyang, how can you be ruthless?
Originally, he didn't think too much about it, and only thought about protecting Sister A and Cao Ang from leaving.
But now, Ding Chen had hatred in his heart...... It's just that although he has resentment in his heart, he has never shown it on his face.
"Ding Chen, you can give up the knife and live, otherwise don't blame someone for being ruthless."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, a scribe walked up to him.
"Ding Ziyang, I know that you have a deep relationship with Cao Cao.
When he was the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, you followed him and regarded him as a hero.
Can ...... now There are constant disputes in the world, first there are peace thieves for trouble, and then there are eunuchs who make rebellion, so that the court is sluggish, and the people are suffering. Taiwei started in the west, made outstanding military achievements, and was more loyal to the imperial court. He was ordered to enter Beijing this time, sweep away the eunuchs, make the court clear, and support the Son of Heaven, intending to revive the court. There is a way to know the current affairs for the junjie, today the intention is the captain, if you are a Hanchen, you should be loyal to the Son of Heaven and the court, why should you be a thief and ruin your own future?
There is a way that good birds choose trees to perch on, and good ministers choose their masters.
Wen Hou cherishes your martial arts and can't bear to harm your life...... If you are obsessed with it, hehe, look over there. ”
When the scribe finished speaking, he pointed to the side with his hand.
Ding Chen looked in the direction of his finger, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of Xiliang soldiers came to the gate of Caofu.
Led by Xiliang Bing, he is a black-armored general.
And next to him, several Xiliang soldiers escorted a pair of men and women.
Seeing those two people clearly, Ding Chen's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he couldn't help but shout: "Sister......"
The men and women in that team are sisters and Cao Ang. But at this moment, my sister looks very embarrassed, with her hair in a fluffy bun and her clothes disheveled. She firmly protected Cao Ang and held him in her arms. When Ding Chen looked over, she also saw Ding Chen.
"Juro, are you okay?"
Seeing Ding Chen's miserable appearance covered in blood, my sister couldn't help but cry out.
In those bright eyes, a trace of distress flashed.
Ding Chen grinned, shook his head lightly at his sister and said, "Sister, I'm fine...... Are you okay with Ang Ke? ”
"Cao Xin, dead!"
My sister's eyes flashed with a touch of water.
Lu Bu was a little impatient, and said sharply: "Ding Chen, down, or not?" ”
Ding Chen took a deep breath and slowly straightened up.
"Down, you can, but you can't hurt my sister and nephew in the slightest."
"Juro, leave us alone!"
When my sister heard Ding Chen's answer, she couldn't help but shout loudly.
She wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Xiliang soldiers. And the black-armored military general straddled the horse and looked at Ding Chen with interest, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
In spite of? How can you not care!
From childhood to adulthood, it was my sister who took care of me. Although my parents gave birth to me, but my sister raised me, how can I ignore you?
Ding Chen looked at Lu Bu and waited for Lu Bu's answer.
And Lu Bu glanced at his sister and Cao Ang, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing arrogance and said: "Although a certain person has killed countless people, he has never killed women and children who are powerless to resist...... Okay, I promise you, if you surrender, I will keep her mother and son safe. ”
Clang!
As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, the ring-headed knife in Ding Chen's hand was thrown to the ground.
"Juro!"
Seeing this, my sister couldn't help but struggle to pounce.
It's just that she is a woman, how can she break free from the wolf-like Xiliang soldiers?
Hao Meng had been watching from the side, and when he saw Ding Chen abandon the knife, he didn't wait for Lu Bu to speak, so he rushed up the steps and came to Ding Chen.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, he raised his foot and kicked Ding Chen's body hard.
Ding Chen took two steps back, but he didn't fall, he still stood upright, and glanced at Hao Meng with disdain.
This also made Hao Meng suddenly annoyed and angry, and he pulled out his sword from the sheath and was about to step forward to kill Ding Chen. Ding Chen stood in place, motionless and looked at Hao Meng, seeing the sword in Hao Meng's hand, he was not afraid, and still had a mocking face.
Clang!
At the moment when the sword in Hao Meng's hand was about to stab Ding Chen, a Fang Tian painting halberd suddenly crossed between the two of them, holding Hao Meng's sword.
Hao Meng was stunned, and his heart suddenly stirred.
Lu Bu's cold voice came from his ears, "I said that if he surrenders, I will keep him safe." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that Fang Tian's painting halberd swept horizontally, and slapped on Hao Meng's body, knocking him to the ground all at once.
"Hao Meng, if you dare to disobey my order next time, you will take the head of Erxiang."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he took back Fang Tian's painting halberd.
He glanced at Ding Chen, but saw that Ding Chen was still holding his head high, without fear.
"Sure enough, it's a good man!"
He couldn't help but praise, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face, and he nodded towards Ding Chen and said, "Don't worry, I said that you are fine, and you will be fine." But before that, I have to temporarily wronged you. Your sister and nephew, continue to live here, I will order someone to protect here, and no one will dare to hurt her mother and son in the slightest. ”
As he spoke, Lu Bu turned his horse's head and left.
The red rabbit horse stepped gracefully and slowly descended from the steps.
At this time, my sister took Cao Ang to Ding Chen's front and hugged him.
"Shiro, why are you bothered?"
"Brother-in-law can't protect my sister, I'll protect it...... Sister, don't worry, I will definitely send you back to my brother-in-law safely. ”
"Juro, you ......"
At this time, the black-armored general also got off his horse and led the people to the gate.
"Ding Jun, come with us."
Ding Chen heard this, pushed his sister away, and walked down the steps.
The black armor general said: "Wen Hou has already instructed me to be responsible for protecting your sister, mother and son...... Don't worry, as long as Taiwei doesn't speak, no one can hurt her mother and son in the slightest, I Zhang Liao can say it, I can do it, you just have to rest assured. ”
"You're Zhang Liao?"
Ding Chen shuddered and looked at the Black Armor General.
It is said that when he and Lu Bu worked under Ding Yuan's account, he and Lu Bu had the name of 'Shuangbi'.
When it comes to commanding troops to fight and strategizing, Zhang Liao is even more prosperous than Lu Bu. It's a pity that when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Zhang Liao was recruiting soldiers in other places. By the time he returned, Ding Yuan was dead, but Lu Bu had become Dong Zhuo's favorite general......
"Thank you, General Wenyuan."
Ding Chen bowed slightly, thanking Zhang Liao.
Several Xiliang soldiers rushed over and tied him with ropes.
Ding Chen didn't resist, but looked at his sister with a smile and said, "Sister don't worry, I'm okay to go, my sister will wait for me to come back."
If there is any need, he will inform General Zhang, and he will never refuse. ”
After speaking, Ding Chen glanced at Zhang Liao again, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Uncle, you have to take care, Ang is waiting for you to come back and talk about the book."
Cao Ang shouted loudly at the door, but Ding Chen glanced back at him and said loudly, "Ang, take good care of your mother." ”
"I will."
"Let's go!"
Xiliang pushed Ding Chen and urged him to leave.
However, when Ding Chen passed past the scribe, he stopped again.
He looked the scribe up and down, and after a moment suddenly said, "I haven't asked the gentleman for advice yet." ”
The scribe smiled: "Ding Jun can guess." ”
"It turned out to be Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who had heard the name of Mr. Jiu and wanted to visit for a long time, but met under such circumstances...... If Ding Chen does not die, he will definitely seek advice from Mr. ”
After Ding Chen finished speaking, he left with his head held high.
The scribe was stunned, he looked at Ding Chen's back, but there was a look of doubt in his eyes.
You must know that in his early years, he had the experience of being filial and honest, and he stayed in Luoyang for a while, but he was not outstanding.
Later, when he returned to Guzang's hometown due to illness, he kept a low profile and kept a low profile.
Even if he later joined Dong Zhuo, it was because he was friends with Niu Fu and was recommended by Niu Fu that he came to Dong Zhuo's account.
But Dong Zhuo has his son-in-law Li Ru as a strategist, and Jia Xu is even more cautious and rarely shows his talents.
But this Ding Chen, how can he know my name?
Listening to his tone, it seems to be familiar to me, but I have never met him!
Jia Xu has always been cautious, but Ding Chen's words stirred his mood, and he became a little panicked for a while......
"Wenhe, why are you standing here?"
Ding Chen had already been escorted away, and Zhang Liao sent Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang into Cao's Mansion, and ordered someone to be on duty outside Cao's Mansion, so he was ready to leave. But when he walked out of the gate of Cao's Mansion, he found Jia Xu standing at the foot of the steps, seemingly in a trance.
He knew Jia Xu, although Jia Xu was not outstanding, but because of his close relationship with Niu Fu, he was also valued by Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Liao stepped forward and asked softly.
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.
He waved his hand and asked with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something, so I stayed here." ”
"In that case, then I'll take my leave."
Jia Xu smiled lightly and said goodbye to Zhang Liao.
With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards the Taiwei Mansion, thinking as he walked: This Ding Ziyang is interesting!
