Chapter Seventy-Three: Chen Qun's Father and Son

"Master, the front is the Chen Mansion, but now that the war is raging, after the young general returns home and uses the military to rule the mansion, the idlers dare not approach easily, so the villain can only be brought here." The young man leading the way pointed to a tall gatehouse and layers of samurai in front of him, and smiled innocently.

"So, thank you, little brother." Shi Tao smiled, rewarded a few copper coins, and then walked in with Jiang Wei.

Ahead is the home of the late Cao Wei Shangshu Ling Chen Qun. Chen Qun has been living at home since he resigned and returned to his hometown, and later his son Chen Tai had a bad relationship with Sima Yi, and he also left Sima Yi in a fit of anger and led the army back to his hometown. Shi Tao came here to persuade Chen Qun and Chen Tai.

Ordered someone to come forward and call the door, and said that the old man was visiting, but after a short time, he saw Chen Tai come out.

Chen Tai knew Shi Tao and the two, and he was stunned when they met, and subconsciously held the sword in his waist. Jiang Wei slid slightly and stood in front of Shi Tao. The two people who have clashed countless times on the battlefield are like two swords staring at each other, exuding dazzling brilliance.

"Very good, you still dare to come to my house, today, Chen Tai will send the two of you back to heaven!"

"Very good," Jiang Wei also looked at Chen Tai with awe, "On the battlefield, you have not been able to defeat me once, I look at you, whether the sword in your hand can beat me!" ”

"Biryo, why are you so breathless?" Shi Tao shouted, and then called Chen Tai with a smile, "Bo Xuan, the two of us are here to visit old friends, the general is like this, is it a gift of hospitality?" ”

Chen Tai sneered: "My family has been loyal and good for many generations, how can there be a guest like you!" ”

Jiang Weiyi sneered: "Loyal and good? A loyal man who works for traitors! ”

Chen Tai was furious. The sword was half a foot out of its sheath, and the cold light flickered. Jiang Wei sneered: "To fight with you, I will let you make thirty moves." ”

Chen Tai couldn't stand such a mockery anymore, and the long sword came out of its sheath, like an angry dragon like the sea, rolling cold light, and rushed towards Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was not in a hurry, and his ape arm was relaxed. Ten fingers flicked continuously, when the sound was endless, the sword was hit by him again and again on the spine of the sword, and it couldn't enter the circle at all.

Chen Tai is also regarded as a fierce general in the world, whether it is conquest and killing or martial arts, he can be regarded as an outstanding man in the world, and at this time, he can't take dozens of moves against a bare-handed Jiang Wei. couldn't help but be shocked and angry and it was difficult to ride a tiger, and when he used a stunt, the long sword suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning, as if flying from the sky, hitting Jiang Wei's throat. The sword qi broke through the air. The hissing sound, the strength is strong, and it is really the power of cutting stones and breaking water.

Jiang Wei saw that it was not good, and his body retreated. The essence in his hand flashed, and with a bang, only the hilt of the long sword in Chen Tai's hand remained, and Leng Sensen's blade had already fallen to the ground.

Chen Tai was stunned for a moment, he looked at the long sword in Jiang Wei's hand, only to see that the sword was green and misty flickering, and the cold light flowed, like a glacial river. The ice and water are fierce, and the gods are taken away. As soon as it was unsheathed, the sword trembled like life, as if it was about to leap and try, flying empty people, drinking blood and taking souls.

"Qingyu?" For some reason, seeing this world-famous long sword, Chen Tai's voice, which had always been fearless, became a little trembling.

"Not bad. It's the green rays. Jiang Wei's expression was solemn. This is the long sword equipped by the ancestor Zhao Zilong, killing the enemy and drinking blood. Fame moves the world. ”

Chen Tai suddenly shook his spirits, he waved back the soldiers who rushed up beside him, and shouted: "Bring my sword, although I have never fought with Zhao Zilong, it is enough to meet Zhao Changlong's long sword!" ”

The soldiers agreed and were about to pick it up, but they heard a light cough. Everyone retreated one after another to make way out, and Chen Tai also bowed down to salute, but it was Chen Qun who left the house in person.

Seeing Chen Qun leaving the house, Shi Tao smiled, stepped forward and said, "Shi Tao has seen the prince." ”

Chen Qun gave him a leg and said indifferently: "Chen Qun Zhishi is at home, the mountain and village man, he deserves this gift, but Chen Qun should congratulate Master Shi on transferring to Ji Han and getting promoted to make a fortune!" ”

What kind of person Shi Tao is, how could he care about Chen Qun's words and jokes, and laughed: "It doesn't matter if you are promoted or not, but the taste of being a Hanchen is excellent." In the next year into the late Prime Minister Cao Cheng under the command, in order to revive the Han Dynasty, how did he ever want the Han Dynasty to be destroyed by it, fortunately the heavens are endless Liu Han, now the Ji Han is revived, the world's loyal ministers and righteous people, all happily returned. I wonder when the prince will return? ”

Chen Qunqi is not good at words, not to mention that he was by Liu Bei's side back then, and later he had no choice but to return to Cao for the sake of his family, and he never thought of Cao Wei's move to replace the Han. Now seeing Ji Han's revival, but he was squeezed out by Cao Wei, and ended up returning home, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and he was speechless for a while.

On the side, Chen Tai saw that his father was embarrassed, and said: "The minister who betrays the lord, how can he take advantage of his tongue!" ”

Shi Tao turned his eyes to look at Chen Tai, but he didn't speak, but the mockery in his eyes made Chen Tai more and more embarrassed. At this time, Chen Tai didn't dare to talk more, he knew that he might have lost his words, and while scolding Shi Tao, it seemed that his father who had a similar experience was also involved.

After a long time, Chen Qun sighed: "Lord Shi, my situation, you know the land, first from Zhaolie (Liu Bei), then from Wei Wu (Cao Cao), first for Han Chen, and then for Wei Chen, the world is changing so fast, it is really beyond personal imagination, and now I am disheartened and have no intention of doing anything in the world." From now on, neither Wei nor Han has anything to do with Chen Qun. From then on, Chen Qun was just a living dead. ”

Shi Tao looked at Chen Qun, surprised at his sensitivity, and actually guessed his intention, and sealed the words of his persuasion in advance, unable to say it. But how could I not say it? Shi Tao smiled: "Junhou, how do you know that I am here to persuade you to surrender?" Today, how about you and I talking about old feelings and not talking about state affairs? I've come all the way with Boyo, and the prince won't even give me tea. ”

Chen Qun smiled: "How dare you, old friends come to see, you can't ask for it, please." ”

Chen Tai hurriedly said: "Father, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." This will make Cao Wei criticize the court. ”

Chen Qun glanced at Chen Tai and said slowly: "Cao Wei is in the middle of the court...... I'm afraid I've forgotten that there is Chen Qunqi for a long time. ”

Entering Chen's house, the two sides sat down in the living room. didn't say a few words, and sure enough, Shi Tao only mentioned the old days, and Jiang Wei only recalled some things back then as a disciple of Zhao Yun. Chen Qun was relieved, and the conversation between the two sides turned out to be very speculative.

In between conversations. Suddenly, outsiders shouted and neighed, and there was a mess. The family came to report that a detachment of men and horses had come from afar, surrounded Zhuangzi, and said that everyone would be captured.

Chen Tai jumped up: "Who dares to come here to make trouble!" ”

Chen Qun glanced at Chen Tai with his eyes, and Chen Tai immediately stood aside honestly. Chen Qun asked calmly, "Don't disturb the guests. Tyre, go check it out. ”

Chen Tai was ordered to go, and Shi Tao laughed: "The guests can't be disturbed." But he apologized for disturbing the owner. ”

Chen Tai was stunned: "Could it be the people you brought?" If you can't do it, you can't take my father and son? ”

Shi Tao shook his head: "It's not that kind of villain, General Boxuan, you can't help but think that it's too small." The person outside the village is Cao Shuang. ”

"Cao Shuang? What is he doing here? ”

Shi Tao put down the water glass in his hand and stood up: "It seems that it will not be possible to talk about national affairs." Your father and son live in seclusion at home, and I am afraid that I don't know much about the front. A month earlier, Eastern Wu had fought with Cao Wei at Pengcheng in Xuzhou. In a big battle, Cao Wei was seriously injured, and the main general Cao Xiu was seriously injured. At present, after the two major battles of Jizhou and Pengcheng, Cao Wei has few soldiers and horses left. ”

"What? I don't believe it! Chen Tai was shocked and angry, "I have thousands of troops in Wei." How could he be defeated by the little Dongwu? ”

"You are still too young, yes, once Cao Wei, the earth is indeed a giant who is proud of the world. But over the years, under the leadership of your wise king, he has succeeded in becoming a dwarf that anyone can defeat. In this battle of Pengcheng, Sun Quan personally commanded the army, the famous generals of Eastern Wu gathered, the governor Xu Sheng, and the brave generals Ding Feng, Sun Shao, Zhu Ran, Zhu Huan, and Quan Zong fought in person, forcing General Cao Xiu to be unable to leave the city. And your former commander-in-chief, Sima Yi, led the army to attack Xuchang and cut off General Cao's grain route. ”

"What? Sima Yi, I'm going to kill you! Chen Tai shouted.

Shi Tao was unmoved, and continued: "General Cao had no choice but to retreat north with his army - pitiful, in the north of Pengcheng, 100,000 troops were killed by Eastern Wu, and blood flowed like a river. General Cao was furious. Spit blood from the mouth. My Majesty took pity on Cao Rui and was bullied by Soochow. He was willing to contain the Lord of Wei and expel Soochow on his behalf. ”

"Your Majesty is robbing by fire."

"Say whatever you want. My Majesty just took Cao Wei from the Han Dynasty and got it back. ”

"You mean, Your Majesty agreed to Ji Han's request?"

"He had no other choice. Between Ji Han and Dongwu, he always has to choose one, and now Dongwu wants his life, and His Majesty of my family does not miss the old evils and is willing to give him a way out. Being a carefree king is not more ridiculous than being a nephew emperor, not to mention being a nephew emperor and being taken away by his uncle. ”

"Great Wei Kingdom, has it really come to this step? Da Wei, Da Wei! ”

"What a stupid boy, I don't know what benefits Cao Wei gave you to make you miss him like this. However, reality is reality, and at present, the world can only be fought between Ji Han and Dongwu, and there is no chance for Cao Wei. Moreover, you and your father are no longer Cao Weidi? ”

"You want to use strong again?"

"No, it's just the opposite, this is one of the conditions, one of the conditions for us to help Cao Wei. In a few moments, you will see the messenger who has come to announce the decree. ”

"This is impossible, Cao Shuang is attacking us outside, but you said that Your Majesty wants to send us to Ji Han!"

"There are always a few fools in the world who can't see the world clearly. Cao Shuang felt that his father died in the Battle of Jizhou, and he wanted to avenge Ji Han for his father, but he couldn't beat Ji Han, and he couldn't stop Cao Rui from handing you over to us, so he planned to get rid of you. ”

Chen Tai suddenly became angry: "Our father and son can't send goods to and from at will!" ”

"I know not. So we came early, please, and nothing else. Shi Tao was not impatient as usual.

"Our father and son are tired and don't want to help either side." This time it was Chen Qun who spoke, "Whether it is Ji Han or Cao Wei, our father and son do not help each other." In this world, there should be no Chen family. ”

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang outside the front door, and the dust was flying, but the door of the house was smashed open.
