Of course, acid to acid.

Lu Bu still didn't have any ideas at the moment.

After all, being a lieutenant general under Dong Zhuo's hands, although there is no taste at all, compared to the original master book under Ding Yuan's hands, it is much more comfortable, at least you can make money.

Supporting a wife and daughter is not a problem.

You can go out every once in a while.

As for whether this kind of life will change in the future, or whether Lu Bu will get tired of it, it is unknown.

"Brother Xian, the things entrusted to me by Xiangguo have been done, my brother will not stay here for long, I have to rush to Luoyang next to find the eldest lady who is missing."

When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately raised his head.

After glancing at Lu Bu.

After all, he said softly: "Brother doesn't have to go to Luoyang anymore, you can go back to Chang'an directly and tell Gong Dong that I have found the eldest lady." ”

"Stay by my side now, when I leave Luoyang, I will return with her, and in the future, when I turn the coalition upside down and merge with Dong Gong again, he will naturally be able to see the eldest lady."

Lu Bu: "......"

Well???

Lu Fengxian was taken aback.

The whole person couldn't help but widen his eyes.

As if he had seen some amazing person, he stared at Cao Ang deadly, and his heart was shocked.

Half an hour later.

Lu Bu's mouth was even more stupefied.

"Brother Xian, it's worthy of you!"

"Quietly, I kidnapped Xiangguo's granddaughter, no wonder the girl didn't say hello, she secretly stayed in Luoyang City, it turns out that you are still involved in this matter."

Then Lu Bu shook his head again, and said with a little emotion: "I don't know how Dong Gong will react when he hears the news." ”

"I can't accept it if I change to a brother, my granddaughter who has been raised for so many years didn't say a word and ran away with another kid."

"If it were me, I would have to break that kid's leg!"

Lu Bu was also joking.

Therefore, Cao Ang did not take it to heart.

Just a slight laugh.

"I don't know if Dong Gong will break my leg, but my brother should be happy."

"When you meet me here, you have done both things, and you don't have to take any more risks to go to Luoyang City, but if you turn around and return now, wouldn't it be enough to ensure your own safety?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately nodded again and again.

That's what he's happy about.

Even with Lu Bu's skills, once he is besieged by the army, he may not be able to get out safely.

At the moment when the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the coalition army are stationed in Luoyang City, it is a huge risk to run to the city to find people, and if you are not careful, it will attract a group of sieges.

Therefore, Cao Ang helped him avoid the danger, and Lu Bu was naturally happy in his heart.

……

After clenching his fist to Cao Ang.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "The love of a virtuous brother is a promise for a brother." ”

"It's not too early now, it's time for me to set off and return to Xiangguo."

"There is no good opportunity today, but when the great cause can be accomplished in the future, you and my brother will sit down again, drink wine, and enjoy delicious food!"

Cao Ang also parted.

It's just that just as he was about to send Lu Bu on his horse and leave, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

This made him hurriedly stop Lu Bu.

"Brother and slow!"

Lu Bu, who was about to turn over and get on the horse, stopped, looked back at Cao Ang with some confusion, and did not speak, just quietly waited for the following.

Cao Ang took a few steps forward.

Then he whispered in Lu Bu's ear: "Don't hide it from my brother, my younger brother left Luoyang City on this trip and went all the way to the west, in order to find his father who led his troops out of the city, I wonder if my brother has ever seen his old man?" ”

Hearing is such a question.

Lu Bu immediately laughed.

"Ling Zun should be leading a force of tens of thousands of people, and there are generals with surnames such as Xiahou and Bao in the team, right?"

Cao Ang hurriedly nodded.

"Exactly!"

"Listening to my brother's description, could it be that he has already seen it before?"

Lu Bu took out a map from the backpack hanging on the back of the war horse, and then spread it out on the horse's back.

Then he pointed to Hangu Pass on the map.

"When Xiangguo withdrew before, he was worried that the coalition forces might send people to pursue him, so he adopted Xu Rong's suggestion, and General Xu led a force of several thousand people to ambush here."

"At that time, I happened to be in Xu Rongjun's army, and I hadn't parted ways with him yet, so I saw Ling Zun lead a large army towards Hangu Pass."

"Xu Rong originally wanted to attack, but I recognized Cao Ziqi and guessed that this army might have something to do with you, so I asked Xu Rong to continue to ambush and hide for the time being, and let this army go west."

……

There are still a lot of good people in the world!

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was also a loyal person.

If it weren't for him to get involved, his father would probably be beaten with a full head, even if he has tens of thousands of troops at the moment, but under Xu Rong's mental calculation, he is likely to suffer heavy losses.

And after Lu Bu came forward to remind.

The army led by Cao Cao did not have to break his muscles and bones, and his troops would be lost.

Cao Ang can finally put his mind at ease about this.

He is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that his father Cao Cao himself will be damaged, and it will be a big trouble.

"Thank you brother for your help, otherwise I would almost make Dong Gong's subordinates and my Cao family kill each other."

Lu Bu waved his hand.

He didn't think it was a big deal.

But to be able to sell face here in Cao Ang, it can be regarded as quite a bargain.

"It's all my own brothers, what are you doing with these words, it's just that the virtuous brother should chase Ling Zun back as soon as possible, otherwise if he really lets him chase all the way like this, he will really collide with Dong Gong's main force."

Cao Ang nodded, indicating that he knew what he knew.

But he didn't really take it to heart.

How could Cao Cao catch up with Dong Zhuo?

That black fat man is very ghostly.

The Son of Heaven, who was unable to move and was extremely slow, as well as the ministers and officials, as well as those ordinary people, he had already ordered to take the first step a few days earlier.

The rest are Dong Zhuo's descendants.

The motorization is extremely high, at least faster than the troops led by Cao Cao, and it is so much earlier to go, if Cao Cao can catch up.

Then he is not Cao Mengde.

He is Xiahou Yuan!

……

After saying goodbye to Lu Bu.

Cao Ang took Dian Wei and continued to set off towards Hangu Pass.

Although he is no longer worried.

But it is naturally best to be bumped into on the road, which can also show his sincerity as a son.

It's just that Cao Ang has already made a decision in his heart.

At most, it will only be chased to Hangu Pass.

If I don't meet my father on the way back there.

He went straight back to Luoyang City and waited.

After moving at such a high speed for most of the day, the troops had approached Hangu Pass, but the sky had become drowsy.

Obviously, there was no way to reach the castle before nightfall, so everyone had to spend the night in the wilderness.

After all, it is very dangerous to travel at night.

Especially at the moment, everyone is not familiar with this place, of course Cao Ang and Dian Wei are not afraid of anything, but the soldiers under his command may not be able to protect themselves when they encounter some dangers.

"Little Wu, you take a few brothers around and look for any suitable places to set up camp, preferably flat and dry!"

Xiao Wu is one of Cao Ang's personal soldiers.

After receiving the order, he immediately ordered a few brothers and galloped forward.

After waiting quietly in place for about a stick of incense, I faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

"Phew!"

The soldier rolled over and dismounted.

Xiao Wu walked quickly to Cao Ang, bowed down, and reported calmly and solemnly.

"General Hui, my subordinates found a deserted and dilapidated inn not far ahead, it seems that the place is not small, enough for our Bailai brothers to rest in it."

"It's just that when my subordinates found this abandoned inn, there were already a small group of people resting in it, about dozens of people, both men and women, and they didn't look like soldiers from the army, they should be from the village."

……

When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Are you sure it's all dealers?"

Hear the emphatic questioning of his own general.

The soldiers did not dare to slack off.

After carefully recalling it, he finally nodded in affirmation.

"My subordinates didn't see the whole picture of these people, but as far as I could see, none of them were wearing armor, and the weapons they carried in their hands were also uneven."

"And in addition to men and women, there are even elderly people, and some of them don't look like poor people."

Cao Ang bowed slightly.

"In that case, then we don't have to be polite, let the brothers get on their horses and sleep peacefully in the old inn tonight!"

Men, women, and children all lived.

This really doesn't look like the configuration of a regular army.

As long as he was not a potential enemy, then Cao Ang did not have to worry, no matter what these people planned to do, it would not threaten his safety.

Actually, if there were other options.

Cao Ang must have preferred to take his brothers and set up camp alone in a certain place.

It's just that the weather isn't good today.

It rained all the time in the afternoon.

It's hard to find a dry place.

If you can sleep under a covered building for a night, it is much more comfortable than in the wilderness.

……

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the inn.

The hundred or so people who turned over from the horseback suddenly made everyone who was originally resting in the inn feel like they were facing a great enemy, except for a few women sitting in the middle, the rest of the people stood up one after another.

Quite a few people clenched their weapons in their hands.

It's just in Cao Ang's opinion.

The weapons of these people can only be regarded as lethal at best, better than the equipment of bandits and bandits, but they are far from the regular weapons they carry.

It should be a big family in the surrounding area.

Cao Ang made his own judgment.

Ignore these people for now.

Instead, he ordered the soldiers to tie up the horses and leave a few people to guard them in turn, and then Cao Ang led the crowd in.

With Dian Wei and a horse, he entered the hotel first.

The young and strong man who was originally holding a weapon and faintly facing each other suddenly turned pale.

General Dian's deterrent power is too strong!

You don't need to show any expressions, do any actions, just walk in with a straight face, it's enough to make people tremble.

Many people couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat on their foreheads, and some were frightened by Dian Wei.

And after Cao Ang led nearly a hundred neatly dressed elite soldiers inside, these people trembled even more.

This clear-eyed person looks like a regular army!

They are just some young and strong men, and once they clash with the regular army, they really don't know how to die.

What the hell is this luck?

I finally found a clean place to rest, but I ran into such a group of evil stars.

Before everyone could react.

Suddenly, he saw the young general at the head, and asked loudly.

"Who are you in charge of?"

……

As Cao Ang's words fell.

Everyone shuddered at first.

But soon an old man squeezed through the crowd, and the trotter came to Cao Ang.

Bow respectfully.

"If you go back to the general, the old man is the steward, and these men are the guards of the master's house."

"Because it's getting late, and it's still raining lightly outside, I just stayed here for the time being, if it makes the general more inconvenient, the old man can take people out now!"

Cao Ang looked this person up and down.

Although he was wearing a linen dress, it was obvious that there was a little bearing in his speech, and he should be similar to the identity of a housekeeper in a large family.

Once again, after making sure that this group of people was not threatening.

Cao Ang shook his head.

"It's hard to find a place to camp outside, you still have a female dependent, rest here tonight."

"It's just that all of you will live upstairs later, and you won't be able to come down if you don't have anything important, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Then let these brothers, put down what you have at hand, General Ben is a reasonable person, and he is not a robber."

Letting outsiders live upstairs is naturally for safety reasons, after all, in the event of any disaster, the first floor is the easiest to run out.

And after listening to Cao Ang's words.

The butler nodded repeatedly.

Then he turned around and waved to the crowd.

"Hurry up and put things down!"

"Such a faux pas, let the general see the joke!"

……

"There are still a few dilapidated desks here, the old man ordered someone to cook tea soup before, the general might as well come and drink a few bowls to warm up."

Cao Ang nodded happily.

Take a seat at another table.

It's just when the butler brings the tea.

He looked to the side with some confusion.

From the time he came to the dilapidated inn, to the time he led the crowd in, until he sat down at this moment.

None of the people on the table next to them moved.

There is always a circle of people around the perimeter.

Firmly protect the people inside.

This piqued his curiosity.

In the layers of protection of this group of people, what is a particularly important person?

You must know that even the female dependents are staying on the side at the moment and have not been able to enjoy the treatment of sitting down.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Fingers tapped lightly on the desk.

After thinking for a few seconds, Cao Ang pointed to the table next to him and asked in a somewhat confused, but unquestioning tone.

"Old butler, dare to ask who is sitting there, could it be your master's house?"

I suddenly heard Cao Ang ask.

The old man was taken aback.

The expression on his face was clearly visible, revealing a bit of panic.

It seems that Cao Ang asked some fatal question.

This caused Cao Ang to frown.

This old guy's reaction is very suspicious, even if it is his master's family, he will not be so flustered, at least since he came in, he has not shown how fierce and vicious, is it necessary to be so flustered?

Cao Ang did not wait for the butler to answer the question.

stood up straight and walked towards the table on the side, and Dian Wei and the others also heard the wind.

The pressure on the other side was huge for a while.

Anyone who faces such a tower-like figure will tremble.

"Please get out of the way, General Ben wants to see who is among them, as long as I am sure that it is not a dangerous person, I will apologize!"

Although it seems a bit rude.

But in such a chaotic era, it is the wilderness of this unfamiliar place.

Be cautious, there is no fault in it.

And under such tremendous pressure.

Just when the group of maids was about to be overwhelmed, a voice like a yellow oriole suddenly sounded in Cao Ang's ears.

"The concubine likes to read, and she was fascinated just now, but she didn't know that the general was here, it's really rude!"

As the sound fell.

The left and right maids also gave up their positions.

Then Cao Ang saw the woman who was blocked in the middle, protected by layers.

Hiss!

Just a glance.

Cao Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

……

It was hard for him to describe what kind of woman she was.

Although the candle flame is faint and the light is dim.

But he could clearly see that the woman was tall and slender in a long emerald green dress with a jasper belt tied around her waist.

The skirt reaches the ankle.

But as the woman's lotus steps moved slightly, she could still vaguely see the white slender calves that were not wrapped in socks, which looked very thin.

And as Cao Ang's gaze moved up.

You can see the woman's slender neck like a swan, even in the dim light, it reflects the white greasy brilliance, and the deeply sunken collarbone is still telling Cao Ang about the characteristic of "thinness".

And when Cao Ang's gaze moved to the woman's face, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

The pointed chin and slightly rounded forehead constitute an extremely well-proportioned and classic melon seed face.

And on this fair-skinned and delicate little face, the watery eyes that are as gentle as Ruifeng and full of charm, the eyebrows that are just like willow leaves, and the dignified and delicate nose like a drop of water, can be said to be staggered.

The outline is clear, and the atmospheric lip shape in the shape of a letter adds a bit of indescribable charm.

Such three-dimensional and dignified facial features, under the direct face, give people an extremely strong impact.

What made Cao Ang even more amazed was that.

Just standing there, the woman gave people a strong sense of bookish atmosphere, as if her delicate and dignified spirit was exuding from the inside out.

It's like a verdant bamboo!

If you sit down, I am afraid that it will become quiet and tranquil in an instant, and Cao Ang is even a little reverie, if this woman is equipped with a pair of glasses.

It should be able to become a literary young woman who is obsessed with books in an instant, right?

……

Look up and down.

It seems like a long time has passed.

In fact, for Cao Ang, it was just a matter of a moment, and he had already sobered up.

Salute to the woman.

Cao Ang immediately replied apologetically.

"When you go out, you are more cautious, and if you are rude, you hope that the girl will not be strange!"

Then he didn't say much.

Turned back to his place.

Even if this woman is very beautiful and has a very special temperament, Cao Ang will not have any bad thoughts, he is really not such a person.

Everything happens for a reason.

It's impossible to snatch it home if you see a beautiful one, right?

Seeing Cao Ang, he didn't ask much.

The housekeeper and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I also realized that the general in front of me seemed to be different from those bandits disguised as soldiers, but a decent and polite person, as long as he obeyed his rules, he would spend the night safely.

After watching the woman return to the table to read, Cao Ang asked as if unintentionally while drinking tea.

"In the current chaotic world, a group of you are still running around with your daughters, but it is extremely dangerous, and it is inevitable that you will be killed or injured if you run into a bandit!"

The steward is not as defensive as he used to be.

Facing Cao Ang's words.

He also took the initiative to speak: "What the general said is, but I can't wait, my young lady's husband's family is in Anyi County, Hedong County, and this trip has to be sent there no matter what, there are many hardships and dangers on the road, and I can only hold on." ”

Cao Ang recalled.

Anyi County is the county seat of Hedong County.

There is a well-known family there.

Hedong Weishi.

is Wei Zhongdao's Wei, the poor woman who has a bumpy fate in her life, full of misery and desolation, and Cai Zhaoji's first husband.

I just thought of this.

A spiritual light exploded in Cao Ang's mind like lightning and thunder, instantly lighting up his thoughts.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the quiet and tranquil woman, feeling the bookish aura that no longer emanated from her body all the time.

I was a little stunned.

it!

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

That's what I bumped into?!

……

Suppress the horror in your heart.

Cao Ang continued to pretend to be casual clichés.

"Where are you from, why are you still married by a woman, shouldn't your husband's family send someone to pick you up?"

"Besides, it's all from the woman's family, and the husband's family didn't show up, so it's a little inappropriate, right?"

The butler smiled wryly.

He pointed in the direction of Luoyang City.

"My lord lived in Luoyang City before, and there is no custom of giving marriage in the house, but he is in a hurry to obey the power, and he really can't take care of so much now."

"Actually, there is still a period of time before the wedding day of my eldest lady, so my husband's family did not send someone to pick up my relatives."

"The reason why I want to send the eldest lady to Hedong so much earlier is that Luoyang City has become a mess, so Dong Zhuo and Dong Xiangguo forcibly let all the local families in Luoyang City move to the west."

"In order to avoid getting involved in the chaos, my lord made a decision to send the eldest lady to Anyi County first."

"First, to avoid the disaster of Luoyang, and second, to wait until the time of marriage, it will also avoid the return of several counties."

With the constant narration of the housekeeper.

Many clues are also becoming more and more invented.

It further corroborates Cao Ang's conjecture.

He looked at the woman again.

After hesitating for a few seconds.

Quietly asked: "Your young lady's surname is Cai, and the husband's family is not the Hedong Wei family?" ”

As soon as this statement came out.

The butler was shocked.

"Dare to ask how did the general know?"
