Chen Liu, Xiangyi.

Located in a grange outside the city, Cao Cao stood in a gazebo with a lot of heart, looking at the snowflakes fluttering outside.

The night is getting darker and the temperature is low.

It is about to enter the wax moon, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

The cold wind howled, rolling snowflakes and rushing into the pavilion, Cao Cao couldn't help but shiver, and then let out a breath of turbidity.

Behind him, footsteps were heard.

Cao Cao turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking along the path.

"Zixu, why are you here?"

Seeing the handsome man, Cao Cao smiled, walked a few steps, and came to the edge of the pavilion.

The handsome man's name is Weizi Weizi Xu, a native of Xiangyi.

The Wei family has a lot of money and food in Xiangyi, although it is not a family fortune, but it is also a well-known local hero. Weizi was once promoted to filial piety and was also an official, but later because he offended Shangfeng, he was imprisoned. Fortunately, Cao Cao came forward to say that Wei Zi was spared death. But after this incident, Weiz also got tired of his career and went home to become a rich man.

However, for Cao Cao and even the Cao family, Wei Zi was grateful.

This time, Cao Cao suddenly came to Chenliu, which also made Wei Zi overjoyed, and he left Cao Cao without hesitation. As for the government's arrest of Cao Cao? He wouldn't care. Wei Zi only knew that if it weren't for Cao Cao, he would have been killed long ago.

This is also a characteristic of this era, and many people in the world are chivalrous and proud of it.

Wei Zi walked a few steps quickly and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, it's so cold, why don't you wear more clothes when you are here alone?" ”

As he spoke, he handed Cao Cao a robe that was placed in the crook of his arm.

Cao Cao was not polite, took it and draped it on his body.

"The letters, they've all been sent?"

"Don't worry, it's already been sent...... It is expected that in these three or two days, the prince will receive the letter.

Mengde, although I don't know why you did this, I believe that you must have a reason. Whatever the reason, if you need my help, just ask. Although Weiz has no other skills, he still has tens of millions of money and food for you to use. ”

Cao Cao was moved!

He shook Wei Zi's hand, "Zixu, Zixu...... You will never forget your affection. ”

With that, he looked around to the left and right.

The pavilion was empty all around, and there was not a single figure in sight.

Cao Cao lowered his voice and said: "Don't hide it, I always feel that something will happen in the future, so I prepared in advance."

This time I escaped from Luoyang, which was really dangerous.

If it weren't for luck, I was afraid that I would die at the hands of traitors...... The reason why I came to you is also because I am worried that something will happen. After a while, Zilian and they will bring people over, and I can really rest assured. ”

When Weiz heard this, he was not angry.

Instead, he asked suspiciously, "Is Meng De worried about Dong Thief?" ”

Who knows, Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It's not because of Dong Zhuo." ”

"If it weren't for Dong Zhuo, who would want to harm you?"

Cao Cao hesitated and sighed, his eyes showing a bit of confusion.

"Zixu, do you think the Queen Mother, is it really Dong Zhuo's killing?"

Wei Zi was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "It's not him, is there anyone else?" It is rumored outside that the death of the Queen Mother is related to Dong Thief. ”

"Rumors may not be credible."

"Then why did you assassinate Dong Thief?"

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, he put his hand to his mouth and took a breath of hot air before he said softly: "If I don't do it, I'm afraid that it will be affected." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Dong Zhuo treats me well, and he values me a lot.

If I don't do anything, if I don't leave Luoyang, or for his minions, or being framed, in short, I will not escape persecution. In the court, there is another force that is fighting against Dong Zhuo. I was caught in the middle, and it was really uncomfortable. If you don't kill Dong Zhuo, your reputation will be damaged; But...... I know very well that it is not easy to kill Dong! That Dong Zhuo started from the grass, fought for half his life, and was suspicious by nature, how could it be so easy to assassinate? But if this is not the case, I will abandon my official position, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to save my reputation.

Zixu, I am not the original after all.

Ben Chu did not hesitate to draw a knife with Dong Zhuo, and then fled from Luoyang, which was praised by the world. He was born in the family of the fourth and third princes, and what about me? So, I had no choice but to take a risk, and at the same time take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for myself. ”

Wei Zi looked confused, shook his head after a while, and said with a wry smile: "I don't understand!" ”

"You'll understand."

When Cao Cao said this, he suddenly changed his words and said, "By the way, I asked you to go to Luoyang to inquire about my wife and children, but there is any news?" ”

Weiz slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to get down to business."

The guy I sent just came back and did get some news. Mengde, you are also reckless, why did you act suddenly, but left your wife and children in that dangerous situation? ”

"Clumsy, are you okay?"

"Okay...... According to the report of the person I sent, after you fled from Luoyang that day, Dong Zhuo sent someone to your house.

Fortunately, Shiro stopped the Xiliang soldiers alone.

However, his sister-in-law and nephew were later caught, and Shiro had to surrender as a last resort, which could be regarded as saving the lives of his sister-in-law's mother and son. After that, Shiro was imprisoned in Luoyang Imperial Prison...... But now it has been released, but the specific situation is not available for the time being. I have ordered someone to continue to investigate, and try to contact Shiro and wait for an opportunity to leave Luoyang. ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and his spirit was much more uplifted.

He let out a long breath and said softly: "God bless them with peace, otherwise I will not be able to have peace in my life."

However, you don't have to send someone to contact Juro...... Although he was released, it didn't mean that Dong Zhuo would relax his surveillance. Moreover, the situation in Luoyang is complicated, if you venture to contact them, it will not hurt them, and you need to be cautious.

I think that with Juro's intelligence, he will be able to figure out the mystery. ”

Weys is a little confused!

Listening to the meaning of Cao Cao's words, it seems that he left a back move.

But why is that? Why do you want your wife and children to stay in that dangerous place? Weeds shook his head, really puzzled.

Cao Cao glanced at him and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Let's go, let's go back to the house and talk."

Outside the gazebo, the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier.

But Cao Cao's heart was hot, and the things that he had been most worried about and worried about for many days seemed to have been suddenly resolved......

He knew Wez didn't understand!

But he believed that Ding Chen could understand.

He will definitely be able to settle and deal with the matter properly, and I believe that it will not be long before we meet again!

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

"Ahh

The sky was overcast, and dark clouds obscured the moon.

Ding Chen stood under the palace gate, glanced at the majestic Pavilion, and suddenly sneezed.

"What, are you sick?"

Zhang Xiu walked up to him and asked softly.

More than ten days have passed since that day.

Ding Chen gradually got used to the position of Nangong Guardian Ling, and at the same time had some friendship with Zhang Xiu.

The two can be said to be unfamiliar with each other, Zhang Xiuxin is arrogant, but he is extremely straightforward. Just like the bold character of the Northwest people, instead of hating Ding Chen, he did not make things difficult in daily affairs, but tried his best to cooperate with Ding Chen.

Ding Chen, I also like Zhang Xiu's character, not pretentious, real!

I like you, I like you, I don't like you, I don't like you...... For example, Dong Cheng and Zhang Xiu also started from the Xiliang Army, and he is also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Zhonglang General Niu Fu's henchman, but Zhang Xiu is not interested in him.

"That guy is too slippery!"

Zhang Xiu later said to Ding Chen: "You are very eye-catching, and you also know how to welcome him, and you have some courage, so you are valued by Niu Zhonglang." But I don't like this person, he was born with a rough appearance, and he was born with a nine-curved heart. When I see him, I think of Han Sui...... is the Jincheng Taishou, known as the Jiuqu River, Han Sui, whose mind is too complicated. ”

Han Sui?

Ding Chen had heard Cao Cao say it.

However, Cao Cao's evaluation of this person is not low, saying that he can be a hero.

Of course, Ding Chen would not argue with Zhang Xiu because of this, but found a reason to transfer Dong Cheng away a few days later.

When he heard Zhang Xiu's inquiry, he waved his hand and smiled: "I'm not so weak yet."

But looking at this day, I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm...... You'd better pay attention to the fact that the wind and snow in this sun can be cold and tight. ”

"No matter how cold it is, is it too cold to be in Liangzhou?"

Zhang Xiu looked disdainful, and then looked at Ah Ge, who was a little dimly lit, and looked not very happy.

"What's wrong? Why the sudden sigh? ”

"Ziyang, what do you mean by Xiangguo, it's really a bit boring to let us stay here every day.

I heard that two days ago, someone tried to assassinate Xiang Guo and was killed by Lu Bu. This great credit has all been occupied by the tiger, but we, the old department of Liangzhou, are guarding a waste king...... Isn't it inappropriate, you say? ”

"But if this abolished king is very important to Xiangguo?"

"What do you mean?"

Ding Chen lowered his voice and said, "Although I don't understand what Xiangguo means, I feel that Xiangguo seems to be waiting for something." Perhaps, Xiangguo wants to use him to lure out the murderer of the Queen Mother, so that he can wash away his grievances.

This matter was handed over to you by Xiangguo, doesn't it show that Xiangguo actually doesn't believe in Wenhou, so why should you complain? ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, showed a thoughtful expression, and bowed his head slightly.

"There is some truth to what you say."

"It's not a bit of a truth, it's very reasonable."

"But it's still boring!"

Zhang Xiu said, waving his fist a few times, "Guarding this palace gate all day long, my body seems to be rusty." ”

Looking at him with a look of chagrin, Ding Chen smiled.

"Two days ago, Gao Shun said that our Nangong guards are too loose and not like people in the army.

He proposed that he hoped to strengthen the training and train the 800 guards into an elite army...... If you find it boring, why not give it a try? ”

"Gao Shun?"

Zhang Xiu's mouth pursed, and he said with a look of disdain: "He can't do it." ”

"Okay, he was the tooth keeper of the West Park Forbidden Army before. Not to mention anything else, the soldiers and horses under the captain Jian Shuo of the military academy are among the eight captains in the West Garden, which can be described as the best. If it weren't for Jian Shuo's belief in Zhang Rang and those people, the general wanted to move him, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy. He said that although the Flying Bear Army of Xiangguo is a sharp soldier, if the soldiers and horses belonging to the captain of the military academy are not dispersed, the Flying Bear Army is vulnerable...... Why, aren't you going to weigh him up? ”
