In the middle of winter, snowflakes float over Luoyang.

This is the first time it has snowed since the beginning of winter, and it has put on a silver dress for the majestic Luoyang City.

Ding Chen and Gao Shun walked out of the gate of Luoyang Prison, raised their heads, looked at the snowflakes flying in the air, and took a hard breath of cold air.

This air is really comfortable!

Calculating the time, Ding Chen stayed in the prison for half a month.

And Gao Shun was even more miserable, living in that cold, damp, rancid cell for almost half the year.

He even closed his eyes, revealing a look of intoxication.

However, Ding Chen could see it clearly, and a flash of water flashed in the corner of Gao Shun's eyes.

"Let's go!"

"Where to go?"

Ding Chen looked at Gao Shun suspiciously, and said, "Come home with me." ”

"Coming home with you?"

"Nonsense, didn't you hear, Li Ru said just now, you have been conquered Nangong Weicheng, and if you want to work under me in the future, you naturally have to follow me. Besides, I remember you saying that you don't have a home in Luoyang anymore. ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Gao Shun's eyes, and he glanced at Ding Chen, but did not refute.

During his more than ten days in prison, Ding Chen knew a lot about Gao Shun's life experience.

This is a poor boy whose parents have died.

Later, he was appreciated by Jian Shuo, married a wife, started a family, and had a son, named Gao Xing. It's just that after Jian Shuo was killed and Gao Shun was arrested, his wife was worried that she would be involved, so she fled Luoyang with her son, and now her whereabouts are unknown.

This is a mess......

There are some things that I dare not think about, and thinking about them will make people even more sad!

Therefore, after Gao Shun was released from prison, he was also homeless.

Ding Chen saw that he was a little depressed, so he stretched out his hand and patted his arm, "Don't think nonsense, and go back with me to settle down first, he will make great achievements and become famous all over the world, and his sister-in-law will definitely come to you, and then you will be able to reunite with your family." ”

Meritorious service and fame all over the world?

These eight words do sound very beautiful, but for Gao Shun, they are actually not very useful.

He is also a man who has been brilliant! I think that at the beginning, when he was under Jian Shuomen, although he was only a tooth goalkeeper, he was infinitely beautiful.

Now that I have experienced half a year of prisoner life, I can see many things.

Therefore, after a short period of depression, he adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Accept your auspicious words, and I will go to your house first." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.

The snow is starting to get bigger.

The wind swept the snowflakes, flying all over the sky, shrouding the majestic Luoyang City in the wind and snow......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cao Mansion, located on the bank of Luoshui, although not big, but the scenery is good.

The Cao family is not a famous family, but it is also the home of the eunuchs.

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was even more of a wealthy man. Therefore, after Cao Cao came to Luoyang for the second time, he bought a mansion on the bank of Luoshui.

Ding Chen and Gao Shun braved the wind and snow to come to the gate of Caofu, and were about to go up and knock on the door, but were stopped by the soldiers.

"Who are you waiting for?"

The young general who was the leader didn't look very old, and his face was still a little immature.

He shouted and asked, which also made Ding Chen stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's just my family, I should ask you." ”

"Your home?"

The young general immediately showed a look of vigilance, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist with one hand, and staring at Ding Chen even more.

The wind and snow were very strong, but the young general didn't blink his eyes.

He snapped, "Who are you?" ”

Gao Shun couldn't help but say: "Ziyang, why did you get to the door of the house, but you couldn't enter the house, could it be that you found the wrong person?" ”

There was a hint of ridicule in his words.

Ding Chen glared at him and said in a deep voice: "My name is Ding Chen, and I was locked up in Luoyang Prison before.

Today, Li Ru, the court lieutenant, ordered me to be released, let me go home to rest, and then go to report to Wenhou...... But you, why are you at my door, and what is your purpose? ”

"You're Ding Chen?"

The young general looked at Ding Chen twice, and his eyes fell on Gao Shun again.

"My name is Gao Shun, and I met Ziyang in Luoyang Prison. Li Zhonglang appointed Ziyang as the Nangong Guard Order, so he came back to rest. ”

The look of vigilance in the eyes of the young general eased slightly.

He took a step back, beckoned the soldiers behind him to come over, whispered a few words in the soldiers' ears, and saw the soldiers turn around, came to the gate of Cao's Mansion, grabbed the knocker, and knocked on the door. At the same time, the young general still did not relax, staring at Ding Chen and the others.

"Did you send it from General Wenyuan?"

"Exactly."

When the young general heard Ding Chen mention Zhang Liao, his vigilance weakened by two points, "General Zhang ordered the general to guard here at the end to prevent anyone from coming to make trouble." ”

"What's your name?"

"Me?" The young general hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Jia Qu." ”

"Good work!"

Ding Chen thanked him, which also made Jia Qu's attitude much friendlier.

And at this time, from the gate of Cao's mansion, a person stumbled out. She stepped out of the door, and the moment she saw Ding Chen, she couldn't help but scream, rushed down the steps, and came to Ding Chen's face in the blink of an eye.

"Juro, you're back!"

Ding Chen's eyes showed warmth.

He stepped forward, hugged the visitor, and said softly, "Sister, I'm back." ”

The person who came was Ding Chen's sister, Cao Cao's wife, and Mrs. Ding.

And behind the gate, there was still a young man standing, and when he saw Ding Chen, he also grinned and showed a bright smile.

Seeing this, Jia Qu also confirmed Ding Chen's identity.

He waited for Mrs. Ding's emotions to calm down before he stepped forward and said, "Madam, since Ding Jun is back, my task is complete."

Madame should hurry back to the house, I will wait outside to guard, if there is anything, I can send someone to tell me. ”

"Jia Jun, how can this be?

With such a heavy snowstorm, you might as well go to Fuzhong. Before Shilang was not there, the slave and the woman couldn't be the master. Now that he has returned, you will not have so many taboos when you come to live in the house. Otherwise, how can the slaves be at ease when you are outside? ”

Mrs. Ding quickly stabilized her mood and invited again and again.

The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and when Jia Qu saw this, he no longer insisted, led his soldiers into Cao's mansion, and lived in the wing room of the vestibule.

Mrs. Ding took Ding Chen's hand and walked into the mansion.

Seeing the young man, Ding Chen patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Ang, these days, thanks to you protecting your aunt at home." ”

Cao Ang's chest straightened, revealing a look of pride.

"Uncle, this is Ang's duty."

Looking at the appearance of a forced little adult, Mrs. Ding and Ding Chen both laughed!

In fact, the change in Cao Mansion is not big, but the slave has become a stranger.

In the wing room of the back house, Ding Chen and Gao Shun sat down, and Mrs. Ding ordered someone to boil water and prepare meals at the same time.

"After you left, thanks to that General Zhang.

At the beginning, there were Xiliang soldiers who came to make trouble, but they were all driven away by General Zhang. Later, General Zhang sent these slaves and maids, so that my mother and son would not be too afraid. It's just that there are many women in this family, and Ang is young, so that Jia Jun refused to live in and took people to guard outside. Thanks to his hard work, my mother and son are safe. ”

Mrs. Ding told Ding Chen about the changes in her family simply and clearly.

This also made Ding Chen's good impression of Zhang Liao increase a lot in his heart.

He introduced Gao Shun to Mrs. Ding, and made it clear that Gao Shun would temporarily live in the mansion.

Of course, Mrs. Ding would not object to this, she readily agreed, so she changed her words and said softly: "Shilang, are you okay in prison?"

I wanted to visit you, but I couldn't get out.

If General Zhang hadn't told me that you were all right in prison, Ang and I would have been at home, and I would have been worried about dying......"

Ding Chen said: "General Zhang is a benevolent gentleman, and sooner or later he will repay this kindness." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Shun.

Mrs. Ding immediately understood, and said to Gao Shun: "Uncle Gao, the water outside has been boiled, why don't you go and wash up first, and then have a good meal." ”

And Gao Shun is also a smart person, how can he not see that Ding Chen has something to discuss with Mrs. Ding in private?

So, he got up and said, "Then I'll go wash first, I'll be in prison for half a load, and I'm full of bad luck, so I really need to wash it alive." ”

With that, he walked out of the room.

Mrs. Ding arranged for the maidservant to lead Gao Shun to wash, and then instructed Cao Ang to go out.

"Shiro, do you want to ask that cool man?"

Ding Chen pursed his lips and nodded, "Brother-in-law, do you have any news?" ”

Don't talk about Cao Cao, as soon as Cao Cao is mentioned, Mrs. Ding's face is full of anger.

"I heard General Zhang mention that he had killed someone earlier, and his whereabouts were unknown later.

I couldn't inquire too much in the house, except for General Zhang, when others mentioned him, their words were vague, so they didn't know very well. ”

It can be seen that Mrs. Ding has a lot of resentment towards Cao Cao.

But she immediately changed her words and said softly: "But Shilang, you don't complain too much about him."

Presumably he had no choice but to do this...... You also know that he finally gained a firm foothold because he returned to Luoyang this time......"

"Sister, I don't resent my brother-in-law."

Ding Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just that I'm a little strange, my brother-in-law's action this time is very sudden."

Outsiders say that my brother-in-law did such a thing in anger because the Queen Mother was killed, but I feel strange.

The brother-in-law acts in a disciplined manner, and he is good at planning and acting.

But this time he ...... I always felt that he did it for a reason, but I couldn't figure it out. ”

Mrs. Ding's face also showed a look of confusion.

She closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "I also think it's strange when you say that.

I remember...... The day before the accident, he had said one thing to me, well, about you. ”

"Me?"

Ding Chen was stunned and opened his mouth wide.

Mrs. Ding said: "The night before the accident, he mentioned you to me.

He said that the situation in Luoyang is now chaotic and confusing, and he cannot see many things clearly. But there is no one around him who can be trusted to solve his problems, so he is very bored...... I said to him right then, how could I not help him? Can't Juro be trusted?

But he said, you are strong in martial arts and very smart, but you are too lazy!

Later, I argued with him a few more words, and he seemed a little upset and went out...... I still don't understand what he is angry about! ”

After speaking, Mrs. Ding shook her head, looking very confused.

Not only was Mrs. Ding confused, but Ding Chen couldn't figure it out.

Speaking of which, he and Cao Cao have an excellent relationship! Since his sister married into the Cao family, he has followed Cao Cao and experienced many ups and downs. Cao Cao was proud of the spring breeze, and it was good to serve as the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang; Later, he offended Jian Shuo and Zhang Rang, and had to leave Luoyang...... He never gave up and always accompanied Cao Cao. Later, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao served as a cavalry lieutenant and led his troops to fight. Ding Chen also followed Cao Cao's side, and saved Cao Cao's life several times in the chaos.

In Cao Cao's words: Ziyang is my sibling!

And all along, Cao Cao has treated Ding Chen very well.

But now, Cao Cao suddenly abandoned his siblings and threw him in the chaotic Luoyang City, which made him very sad.

Perhaps, as Sister Ah said, my brother-in-law has a last resort to do this!

"By the way, Juro, what should we do next?"

Ding Chen sobered up from his contemplation, thought for a while and replied: "Today, Taiwei's son-in-law, Zhonglang sent Li Ru to prison and released me, and said that Taiwei has appointed me as the Nangong Guardian Order, and I will stay in the guard Age in the future and obey the dispatch of the guard."

So I think we're safe for the time being, so don't act rashly for the time being.

I'll finish washing up later, go to Lu Bu to report, and then go to Nangong to take up a post. Let's take a two-pronged approach and inquire about my brother-in-law's whereabouts. After the news of my brother-in-law, it's not too late for us to make a decision, what does Sister think? ”

Mrs. Ding said: "Your brother-in-law is not here now, and Sister Ah is a woman, and she is young and young."

It's up to you to decide what happens at home...... What you said is very good, let's wait for the time being, and see what kind of plan that cool man has in the end. I don't believe it, he is willing to give up you and me, even his own flesh and blood? ”

There was still a deep resentment in those words.

It's just that Ding Chen's attention at this time has been turned elsewhere.

What exactly is Cao Cao's plan? What is the purpose of leaving us in Luoyang? Is he really suffering from other things?
