The carriage was still stable.

There was no violent shaking.

It's about late at night.

Cao Ang finally got off the carriage.

It's just that he was originally neatly dressed and dressed tightly, but at this moment, he is already a little erratic.

The hair that was tied before getting on the bus was messy when I got out of the car, even the crown of the hair was crooked, and a few strands of long hair were flying wantonly with the evening breeze.

The clothes on his body can be clearly seen, they were hurriedly put on before getting off the carriage, and even the inner middle coat showed a corner.

And the most obvious.

Or on the right side of Cao Ang's neck, there is a dark red mark, I don't know how to get it.

After tidying up his clothes a little, seeing that there was no one around, Cao Ang immediately made it look like he had just returned from a walk, and walked towards his tent with his head held high.

At this moment, Cao Cao was still sitting in the tent, holding another bamboo slip in his hand.

It's not that he loves to read.

There's really nothing to do.

He was not as energetic as his son, and he still had the strength to go out after a tiring day, so he could only shrink into the tent and find two books to read.

Seeing that several rolls of bamboo slips had been replaced, but his son still hadn't come back, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, and his psychology was a little worried.

Where did this stinky boy go in the middle of the night?

If it is in the city, it is just a matter of not returning home that night, but only going to someone's house to drink.

But this is a wilderness, and if you don't come back in the middle of the night, you shouldn't be running away, this level of danger is not a joke.

Far away from the camp and lacking the deterrence of open fire, there is a high probability that you will encounter an attack by wild beasts.

You must know that an adult man, when facing a tiger, is no different from a child, and three or two strokes will become the tiger's belly.

Even a well-trained young soldier, or a military general with a certain amount of force, may not be able to win a tiger alone.

If the son encounters such danger, it is really difficult to say what the outcome will be.

Cao Cao was worried.

I can't read the book in my hand anymore.

Just as he was packing up the bamboo slips and preparing to get up and go out of the camp tent to find Cao Ang.

"Huh!"

The curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside.

A cold wind also poured in along the gap raised by the curtain, blowing Cao Cao's body cold.

Then he saw Cao Ang's tall and handsome figure, and strode in from outside the tent.

Cao Cao was about to say something, but suddenly noticed that something was not right.

couldn't help frowning, his nose sucked hard, and suddenly in the cold wind that had just poured in, the smell of fat powder mixed with it was smelled by Cao Cao.

The flavor is extremely strong, and it is not caused by a little bit of it.

And as Cao Ang's pace continues to get closer, the fragrance of this fat powder is getting stronger and stronger, and it is self-evident who the source of the taste is.

Well?

This made Cao Cao confused.

Where did this kid get the smell of?

The barracks are heavy, and there are few women at all.

Or in other words, except for the family members of the Cao family and the maids who saw the carriages serving them before, all the others were men.

And the son obviously won't get involved with these maids and maids, after all, he has grown so big, and he hasn't seen which maid he has thoughts, so he wants to start early.

But his son's concubine Diao Chan is sleeping in a tent with his wife Ding at the moment.

Cao Ang couldn't and didn't dare to rebel after his mother was asleep, and he also touched the tent and Diao Chan Qingqing and me.

So here's the problem.

Where does the fat powder taste come from?

…………

"Father, you haven't slept yet?"

I heard Cao Ang's inquiry.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and then said in an intriguing tone: "If you don't wait for you to come back, how can you sleep peacefully as a father." ”

"Didn't you talk about walking around outside the tent, why did you go for so long?"

Cao Ang immediately had an apologetic smile on his face and sat down beside Cao Cao.

"Father, you're worried, but there's really nothing to do in this camp, so I'm just going a little farther along the wilderness."

"You don't have to worry about the safety of the child, I carry the seven-star treasure sword with me, and I have a little martial arts, and ordinary mountain beasts are not a problem."

It's okay not to sit.

As soon as he sat down, the dark red mark on his neck suddenly appeared in front of Cao Cao's eyes.

Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly.

He was a playful man when he was younger.

What don't you understand?

How this mark was formed, Cao Cao's heart was clear, and it was definitely produced after having an intimate interaction with the woman.

All right!

This stinky boy has learned to lie!

This place where there is no village in front and no store in the back, let alone a little farther, even if you walk dozens of miles, you can't meet a woman.

How so?

Could it be that I ran into a vixen?

Just when Cao Cao was about to ask the end.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

A thought passed through his mind like a lightning strike, and it suddenly lit up Cao Cao's train of thought.

Who said that there were only the Cao family's daughters in the camp?

The question of who was sitting in those carriages was never a result of my own.

Now that I think about it, it is very likely that one of the carriages was occupied by a woman, and this woman had a very special relationship with her son.

Cao Ang used the excuse of going out to wander around, but in fact, he got into this carriage and had an intimate interaction with this woman, so he was contaminated with the aroma of fat powder all over his body, and only then did a mark appear on his neck.

No wonder he asked Cao Ang who was sitting in the carriage along the way, and this kid was squirming and refused to tell the truth, because he felt shy.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh for a while.

The son has grown up after all.

It's all starting to play tricks.

It's not enough to have a sable cicada at home, you have to secretly raise one outside.

When he left Luoyang this time, he even picked up the family with a carriage, and the rest of the cars on the side were probably the girl's relatives and the like.

This silly boy.

Playing tricks is playing tricks.

What dare you not say to me, my old father?

Can I still use a sword to slash you?

After arriving in Dingtao County.

I want to see what kind of girl my son is secretly raising outside, and she can make him even ignore the sable cicada at home and run out to steal fish.

After the train of thought is here.

Cao Cao naturally would not pursue the matter anymore.

Very decisively put the topic aside.

And Cao Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that his father didn't get to the bottom of it.

If he is questioned again, he may be exposed.

But if Cao Ang knew what Cao Cao was thinking at the moment, I don't know if he would regret that he shouldn't have run to the Queen Mother's carriage tonight.

At the very least, before entering the camp, the marks and fat smell on the body should be cleaned up.

…………

A few days after that.

Cao Ang didn't run to the Queen Mother's car at night, and he was quite honest.

The large army after a long march.

Finally arrived at Zhongmu County, which is located on the border between Sili and Yanzhou.

Zhongmu County is located at the junction of Sili and Yanzhou, which is a relatively large county seat.

After crossing Zhongmu County, it takes less than a day to enter the boundary of Chenliu County in Yanzhou.

Here it is.

The entire army was completely safe.

No matter how much Dong Zhuo has his hands and eyes in the sky, it is impossible for him to reach here.

Looking at Zhongmu County not far away.

Almost everyone in the team breathed a sigh of relief.

It's been a long journey!

And after passing through Jingxian County, all the way east to Zhongmu County, there is no decent county seat, which is a few Juheyi.

I couldn't even find a place to resupply.

Along the way, eating and sleeping in the open, exposed to the sun and rain, it really tortured people.

Especially Mrs. Ding and Diao Chan and other female dependents, they can't stand the hard work of this long journey, and Mrs. Ding also fell ill halfway, and she is still not completely healed to this day.

Cao Cao's father and son are similar.

It's just that as a man, you have to have rough skin and thick flesh, and you can bear it, but you can't wait to find a county seat and go to the city to rest.

"Father, let's go to Zhongmu County for the night today, and then go into the city to find an inn, have a good meal, take a bath and change clothes, and get a good night's sleep."

Cao Cao also had this intention.

Just as he was about to say something.

"Crunch...... Rumble! ”

There was a sudden noise at the gate not far away, and then I saw the drawbridge over the moat slowly rising, and the gate was gradually closing.

For a moment, the father and son couldn't help but look at each other, and they were a little dumbfounded.

I just said that I would go into the city to take a rest, but the door was closed, and it was closed at an abnormal time.

Well......

When Cao Cao saw Zhongmu County on his face, he showed a little relaxation and pleasure, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Instead, a wry smile on his face.

"Son, it seems that we still have to rest outside the city tonight, because they don't welcome us and don't want us to go into the city."

Hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't help frowning.

But soon it stretched out again.

The original intention of this move is understandable.

After all, for a county, a regular army of thousands of people is already quite a large force.

How many county soldiers are there who live there?

In front of his own neatly dressed and well-organized 2,000 people, it is definitely not enough to see.

Not to mention these troubled times.

Anything kind of mess can happen, and it's normal for people to be afraid.

If I changed myself to Zhongmu County, I am afraid that I will make the same move, and no one will open the door.

Just if Cao Ang is not mistaken.

The county order of Zhongmu County is Chen Gong?

If it was really him, then even if the door was closed and customers were refused, Cao Ang would have to deal with it.

Although he now has a talent like Xun Yu under his command, no one will think that there are many Wenchen strategists, and Chen Gong is also capable, if he can be abducted and taken away, it will be regarded as a big profit.

Of course, after abduction, you must make sure that you use it and precautions, otherwise it may become a double-edged sword and stab yourself.

…………

"Let's go, father, let's go and negotiate with the people in the county to see if we can be accommodating, just let the family members in our house go to the city to rest."

Cao Cao nodded.

Immediately marched forward with Cao Ang, and the two soon came to the city of Zhongmu County.

Since the army was still waiting in the rear, only the father and son were alone, there was no nervous move in the city.

On the contrary, it was after Cao Ang Lema.

A middle-aged man soon leaned out of the castle tower.

This person was dressed in a county official uniform, wearing a scarf on his head, his face was slightly white, and a few pinches of mustache on his chin added a bit of elegance, and he was like a scribe.

His eyes swept left and right at the father and son who were staying in the city, and after a little muttering, the county commander gave his hands to his fists.

"In Xia Chen Palace, Xi is the commander of Zhongmu County, I don't know who the two are?"

Cao Ang did not speak.

Instead, Cao manipulated the horse to take a step forward, first bowed in return, and then took out the appointment letter of the imperial court from his bosom and showed it to the top of his head.

"Cao Cao Mengde, under the order of the imperial court, went to Jiyin County to take over the post of Taishou, passing through your land, there was a lot of disturbance, and I looked at Haihan!"

After hearing a few words from the county Taishou.

Chen Gong was obviously a little surprised.

"It turned out that Shangguan was coming, and he couldn't entertain him thoroughly, so please accept the lower officials again!"

said another bow.

The etiquette is thorough.

But there was no mention of opening the door.

Obviously, even if Cao Cao took out the documents of the imperial court to show his identity as a taishou, it would not be enough for Chen Gong to invite the two of them into the city.

Cao Cao and Cao Ang looked at each other again.

Increasing difficulty in communicating.

There is little hope.

But Cao Cao still stubbornly said: "Passing through here in the next trilogy, the carriage and horses are tired, and the mind is tired, and if it is late today, it may be difficult to hurry." ”

"So I hope that your county can open the door of convenience, let the family members and others stay in the county seat for one night, and leave Zhongmu early tomorrow morning."

Cao Cao's words were sincere and sincere, and he did not make excessive demands.

But Chen Gong was silent.

Up and down the city wall, there was no word for each other for a while, and the atmosphere on the field was a little quiet.

……

Chen Gong lay on the battlement.

looked down at the two men in the city, one long and one young, one fierce and heroic, the other handsome and chic.

I couldn't help frowning.

Looking at the neatly dressed regular troops in the dense forest not far away, a look of jealousy flashed in Chen Gong's eyes.

First of all, he didn't know this guy named Cao Cao, and he didn't know if the self-proclaimed Taishou of Jiyin County was true or false, anyway, it was several zhang away, and he couldn't read the documents of the imperial court clearly.

Secondly, even if it is true, Chen Gong does not dare to give trust, because it means extreme danger.

The county is too shou to stop killing?

If you don't covet money, if you don't grab food or people, you won't make up your mind about Zhongmu County?

At present, the world is very chaotic!

The imperial court's control over the local area is getting weaker and weaker, and it was originally able to manage down to the county level, but now no one listens to it at all.

People with military power everywhere have long been lawless, and as long as it is profitable, they dare to do anything.

It seems that this man named Cao Cao is suave and polite, and what he carries behind him is more like a group of regular troops, well-trained, not like some bandits.

But what you see with the naked eye is hard to believe.

Some regular soldiers and bandits can be converted into each other, usually honest and big-headed soldiers, once there is wealth in front of them, they will instantly turn into fierce and brutal bandits.

And the former is more ferocious than the latter.

After all, most of the bandits and thieves want money and food, and they can rob some people to increase the bandit team.

And the regular army launched a ruthless attack, that is, it wanted money and life, money in the pocket, the head was cut off and the merit was rewarded, and there was no place to shout if you wanted to shout injustice.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao's words were sincere.

Chen Gong didn't dare to put the Cao family into the city.

There is a city wall outside the city, and in case of sudden changes, you can still organize resistance.

But if some of them went into the city.

pretended to rest for a night, but in fact, at night, when everyone was unprepared, they should open the city gates.

Won't the whole county fall?

The lives and safety of the people of the entire county are pinned on him, the county honor, how can it be child's play?

It is better to believe in it than to believe in it!

So after thinking about it again.

Chen Gong still leaned out of the city wall and bowed his hand to Cao Cao's father and son with an apologetic expression.

"Cao Fujun, I'm afraid this matter won't work!"
