Chapter 061 Longtan(1/2)
That night, Deng Juye drove a carriage and quietly drove into Taoyuan.
Deng Ji and Cao Peng met each other in the courtyard. Looking at Mrs. Hong who was coming out of the car, they both stepped forward and bowed to each other!
This bow was for nothing else but to help Deng Juye and his wife when Cao Ji's family was in danger.
People often say a friend in need is a friend indeed!
When you are proud of the spring breeze, others on the pole will come over to praise you and praise you! To be honest, at that time, Lady Hong begged Cao Ji to let Deng Fan practice martial arts with Cao Peng and the others. Cao Peng still looked down upon Lady Hong. But now,
His family was in trouble, and no one paid any attention to it. But Mrs. Hong's family still helped him... From Deng Juye to Mrs. Hong, who came to visit, to Deng Fan to work undercover in Jiyang.
Cao Peng didn't know how to repay this family's kindness.
I think at the beginning, he was just dealing with Deng Fan. But now, seeing the behavior of his family, Cao Peng felt a little embarrassed.
"Ah Fu, don't worry. There are ups and downs in this life. Auntie believes that you are a person who does great things, and nothing will happen to you. Brother Cao and his family are all blessed with good fortune, and they will definitely get through it.
Today's tribulations will surely come to an end by then."
Madam Hong held Cao Peng's arm with one hand and grabbed Deng Ji's arm with the other.
"Accept Auntie's good words!"
After Cao Peng and Deng Ji looked at each other, they bowed again and bowed deeply.
"Just now Da Xiong got someone to tell him that Ma Yu would escort the three Cao brothers on the road early tomorrow morning. The county government also wanted to send someone to accompany them, so Da Xiong signed up and would stay in the city tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. He said yes
If he is here, he can also protect your parents."
"Big Bear is accompanying you for escort?"
Cao Peng and Deng Ji looked at each other and really didn't know how to thank each other.
This family is all honest people!
Deng Juye said in a loud voice: "Uncle-sun, I brought you the things your father-in-law left at my place."
"thing?"
Deng Ji was stunned, and he and Cao Peng stepped forward, opened the car curtain and looked inside, and saw a bellows quietly placed on the car. In addition, there were several packages, which looked like Hong
The luggage of the lady’s family.
"Auntie, what are you..."
Madam Hong showed a hint of shyness and said softly: "Ah Fu, I heard Da Xiong say that after you rescue your parents, you don't plan to stay in Jiyang anymore?"
Cao Peng nodded.
Regardless of whether Cao Ji and the others can be saved or not, it is impossible for them to stay in Jiyang.
Mrs. Hong said: "This kid, Da Xiong, needs someone to take care of him. I heard him say that you have a noble person here, so I thought... can you take my Da Xiong with you? It will be difficult for him to stay here.
Instead of coming forward, I might as well follow you and try my luck."
In ancient times, there was a mother of Mencius who moved her residence three times in the hope that her son would become a dragon.
Parents all over the world have the same thoughts. Madam Hong and his wife’s intention is very clear, they hope to follow Cao Peng and leave Jiyang.
Jiyang County is too small!
Although I don't quite understand why Mrs. Hong trusts me so much.
But this heavy trust was enough for Cao Peng to refuse. He glanced at Deng Ji and saw Deng Ji looking at him.
That means clearly that Cao Peng needs to make his own decision.
"Auntie, you think highly of my brother and are willing to live with my family. Cao Peng is very grateful. I won't talk nonsense. No matter what happens in the future, as long as Cao Peng is here, I will not treat Daxiong badly." He said seriously and said to him.
Mrs. Hong bowed her head and made a promise.
Madam Hong's face was suddenly filled with smiles.
Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, Madam Hong is a very philistine woman, and she is also very strong. Just by looking at how obedient Deng Juye is to be dealt with by her, you can see her methods. But in fact, Madam Hong is very smart! She has
A vision that many women do not have. When Mrs. Hong married into Deng Juye's family, Deng Juye's family was in ruins. Now, although Deng Juye's family fortune is not very good, at least in Deng Village, it can be considered a middle-class family. Such changes have occurred.
, precisely because of Mrs. Hong’s cleverness.
Madam Hong understands Deng Ji!
This is a capable person...
It's just that I was unlucky and didn't have the chance to display my talent.
Then, the arrival of Cao Ji's family gave Lady Hong more hope. Cao Peng, a boy with a bun in a bun, could actually win the favor of the Pang family in Lumen Mountain. How scary is the Pang family in Lumen Mountain? Lady Hong didn't know. But
But she saw how polite County Magistrate Kuai was to Cao Peng's family.
From that time on, Mrs. Hong knew that Cao Ji's family would have great potential in the future.
She is a woman who will never change her mind once she is sure. Even though the Cao family was in trouble a while ago, and many people in Dengcun wanted to add insult to injury, Madam Hong always remained silent. Unless Deng Ji dies, and until Cao Peng dies... the Cao family will not
Decline, those who add insult to injury...
Madam Hong is not too old, but she has seen a lot of ups and downs.
In this regard, although she is not a man, she has a keener intuition than many men.
Today, Deng Ji is still alive!
Cao Peng is also back...
Not only did she come back, but she also brought a few companions with her. The first thing Madam Hong saw after getting off the car was Dian Wei. Although Dian Wei was dressed like a slave, his aloof aura was not something ordinary people could possess. After all, Dian Wei was dressed like a servant.
, that is Colonel Wu Meng who can fight with Lu Bu, has experienced hundreds of battles, killed countless people, and is a guard of Cao Cao. If you think about it, he is also a high official of the imperial court with a rank of two thousand stones.
Even if Dian Wei himself didn't notice it, his magnanimity was extraordinary after all.
This is a big shot!
The old Cao family is about to become prosperous...
Madam Hong strengthened her decision, and hearing Cao Peng's promise made her feel very comfortable.
"Okay, let's get ready, have a good rest, and set off at midnight."
Dian Wei's loud voice sounded, and everyone nodded.
Cao Peng said: "Aunt, uncle, we are going to do a big thing now, and I'm afraid you can't interfere. Why don't you rest first and set off with us after midnight. After crossing the river, you keep walking east for about four days.
More than ten miles away, there is Phoenix Ridge. You are waiting for us there. When we finish our work, we will join you and then go to seek great wealth."
In one sentence, Madam Hong felt more at ease.
Phoenix Ridge, also known as Zhantai Temple in later generations.
It was dark at night, and in a dilapidated Taoist temple at the foot of Fenghuang Ridge, Wang Meng was sitting by a campfire, quietly listening to a report by a dark-faced man with a curly beard.
"...Shuai Qu, according to Zuoqiu, tomorrow morning, the army will escort Brother Cao and his family to Jiunu City. Starting from Jiyang County, we must pass through Longtan. The terrain there is open and suitable for our cavalry to charge. Then we will
From two ambushes, it’s just a beating.”
The big man with a curly beard speaks in a Chinese accent, but his speech is clear.
Wang Meng said: "Old Zhou, we have never been afraid of killing. But the problem is, I have to save the lives of my brother and his family. Although an ambush is possible, the risk is a bit high... I have a
The idea is, since they are being escorted by the army, why don't we pretend to be the army? Then pretend to join them, blend into the team, and then take action suddenly. This will not only reduce the casualties of my brothers, but also make it easier for me to protect the lives of my brother and his family.
.Lao Zhou, Zuoqiu, what do you think of my idea?"
When the big man with beard heard this, he couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"What a great idea!" He looked at Wang Meng with admiration, "Shuai Qu is really powerful. This way he can catch those officers and soldiers off guard."
"Commander Qu, the armor of these officers and soldiers..."
"Let's set off now and take a trip to Yuyang County. There are many patrolling horse teams there at night. We'll just steal their clothes and armor."
"Then I'll go down and make arrangements."
Zuoqiu is a muscular man in his early thirties.
There was something resolute in his words and deeds. He gathered a group of people outside the Taoist temple, mounted their horses, and left under the cover of night.
Wang Meng stood up and slowly walked out of the Main Hall.
The big man with the beard followed closely behind him and said softly: "Qushuai, don't worry. In the county town, I think the dog officer is quite considerate to Brother Tang's family. We will rescue them tomorrow and then go back to the mountain. By then day will come.
If you let the bird fly high, what does it matter if you have trouble with the Huang family?"
Wang Meng smiled but said nothing.
Ah Fu, you said you would come back...but why, there is no news yet?
Ma Yu and Deng Cai drank wine all night and waited at the gate of Jiyang City the next day.
At nine o'clock, the gate of Jiyang City opened, and the old housekeeper took Cao Ji's family of three out of the city. Cao Ji and his wife seemed to be in good spirits; but Cao Nan was obviously a little depressed, and his pretty face was a little defeated, a bit...
Haggard. The three of them were all dressed in brown prison clothes and walked out of the city gate under the guard of five local warriors.
"Deng Cai, you should go with us." The old housekeeper said calmly: "The county magistrate said that it is the time for the Nine Girls City camp to employ people. You are very talented, so go and work there."
Deng Cai quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Deng Cai respects your order."
