In November of the first year of Chuping, it ravaged Dongjun in Du, Bailuo, and Wugu.

Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, led his troops to quell the rebellion, but faced the fierce attack of the Black Mountain Army, he was defeated and fled, and Wang Gong died in battle.

Once Wang Gong died, the entire Dongjun fell into turmoil.

At this time, Liu Dai remembered Cao Cao who lived in Dongjun.

In the past few months, Cao Cao has been very low-key, as if he has disappeared, and he has almost no news about him.

But what about it?

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren recruited five thousand Danyang soldiers from Yangzhou and quietly returned to Dongjun.

For several months, he lived in Dongwuyang City, Dongjun, to prepare for his troops and horses and accumulate strength. At the same time, he recruited the hero Li Dian and the counselor Chen Gong in Dongjun. With the help of the two, he gradually took root in Dongjun and was quite solid.

Liu Dai remembered Cao Cao and immediately sent someone to recruit Cao Cao to Puyang and entrusted him with important tasks.

"If Mengde can quell the rebellion, I hope the prefect of Dongjun will give it to each other."

Cao Cao said politely: "The envoy does not dislike Cao Cao, and he took Cao in Dongwuyang City and gave him troops and weapons. Cao was very grateful. Now there are rebels who are in trouble with Dongjun. It is the time when Cao repays the envoy's great kindness, how can he say that the prefect of Dongjun is the prefect?

If the envoy agrees, he wishes to start all the headquarters, cause trouble with the rebels, and return the East County to ease peace."

Liu Dai was overjoyed when he heard this. What are the objections there?

At that moment, he entrusted Cao Cao to pacify the bandits of the Black Mountains and presented Cao Cao with 3,000 troops and countless food and supplies.

"Meng De, a true righteous man!"

After Cao Cao left, Liu Dai couldn't help but sigh at the people around him.

At this time, it was snowing heavily in Guanzhong.

What happened in Yanzhou is thousands of miles away from Mianchi.

Ding Chen would not know that Cao Cao had already begun his path to rise again at this time.

In fact, he has been living a very comfortable life in recent times.

He trains troops every day. When he goes out, he drinks a pot of fine wine prepared by Cai Yan himself at his home. He lives a leisurely life.

His relationship with Cai Yan has gradually improved from the beginning.

Cai Yong saw this but did not say anything.

What exactly did he think?

No one knows.

Anyway, he did not stop Ding Chen and Cai Yan from dating.

Dong Zhuo from Chang'an never summoned Ding Chen, nor urged Cai Yong to go.

He just granted Cai Yong the position of a bachelor of Dongguan and allowed him to stay in Mianchi. In fact, Dong Zhuo did not value Cai Yong's willingness to serve. What he valued was Cai Yong's reputation. It doesn't matter whether he is in Chang'an or not, as long as he waited for the order. The bachelor of Dongguan is actually a false position, and he has no actual rights.

Both parties do not have to meet each other, they get along with each other.

In Dong Zhuo's opinion, it is undoubtedly the best choice...

On that day, Ding Chen ate some wine at Cai Yong's house, and then returned to the camp in the snow.

The residence from Daying to Cai Yong is not too far, and riding a horse only takes half a stick of incense. This will not only allow Cai Yong to be quiet, but also give Cai Yong enough protection. Whether it is Ding Chen or Cai Yong, they are very satisfied with this arrangement.

It is covered with snow and boundless.

In the vast snowy field, you can see the flags of the military camp fluttering in the distance.

The heavy snow falls, falling from the goose feathers, and falls silently, making people feel quiet.

Ding Chen was slightly drunk and rode his horse slowly along the path.

After almost halfway through the journey, Ding Chen suddenly stopped the horse and suddenly became energetic.

He held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his back hand and looked around.

At this moment, the sound of the bowstring sounded, and a sharp arrow roared towards Ding Chen.

Ding Chen immediately turned sideways, raised his hand and grabbed the sharp arrow.

"Where to go!"

He saw that in the sparse forest not far away, someone flashed by, so he dismounted and chased after him.

The snow was very deep, and if you really rode a horse to chase him, you might not be able to catch up with the other party. Ding Chen raised his dantian energy and flew past the snow like a swallow. However, the figure in front of him was not slow at all, even faster than Ding Chen.

In addition, the figure started first and soon ran to the main road.

A maroon-red Dayuan horse was waiting there, and a few figures rushed up and arrived next to the red horse and turned over the horse.

"General Ding, the journey is long, and it is not a long time to send it away.

However, please don’t forget the promises made by the general.”

The voice is charming, with a hint of coquettishness.

Is it a woman?

Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, his feet sank, and his feet sank into the snow.

But the woman let out a silver bell laugh and urged the horse to leave.

The horse flew with four hooves, stepping on the snow on the avenue, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ding Chen pulled out his legs and watched the red horse get farther and farther away until he disappeared into the vast snowy field, and then he stomped his feet hard.

What's the situation?

Just now, the woman shot him with a bow and arrow, and he realized that the other party had no intention of murder.

Moreover, the power of the bow and arrow is not very strong. Otherwise, his reaction after drinking would inevitably be slow and he might not be able to catch the arrow.

It was obvious that this woman came for him.

However, what did she mean when she made a promise?

Ding Chen couldn't react for a moment. He stood in the snow for a while and felt his feet were cold. Then he turned around and walked back.

Before I walked far, I saw the claws flying over.

He turned over the horse and subconsciously glanced at the arrow in his hand, but found that the arrow had no arrows and there was a piece of cold fragrant paper wrapped around the arrow shaft.

Arrow book?

He immediately took off the cold incense paper on it and threw the arrow shaft on the snow, then urged the horse to return to the camp.

Back in the camp, it was already very late.

Pang De and his personal soldiers were still guarding around the tent. When he saw Ding Chen, he hurriedly bowed and bowed.

"Master, why did you come back so late?"

"Oh, I encountered some minor trouble on the way."

"ah?"

"Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious.

However, I was told that the patrol was strengthened in the camp tonight.

In addition, I sent a few people to Mr. Cai to strengthen the guards... The New Year is coming soon, and another year has passed!"

Only then last year did he come out of Luoyang Prison and then take over as the Nangong Guardian Order.

Slowly, Nangong Guardian Ling?

Ding Chen's eyes turned, as if he had remembered something, and he didn't care about talking to Pang De, so he hurried into the big tent.

Under the candlelight, he took out the cold incense paper.

The paper is smooth, with a slightly yellowish color, but it exudes a faint fragrance.

This is a cold-scented paper that only works in the homes of high-ranking officials. The paper is not large and is mainly used to transmit information.

Ding Chen opened the paper and saw beautiful small characters written on it.

Last year, Nangong Age.

The Lord entrusts you, please do not forget.

Sixteen words clearly express the meaning.

Ding Chen closed his eyes, and the pale-faced thin boy appeared in his mind.

"Mr. Ding, if one day, I will encounter an unexpected accident, can you please take care of Tang Ji?"

"After leaving alone, she was a weak woman and was inevitably bullied.

I also asked Ding Jun to try to send her to Kuaiji and to her father... If this is true, I will definitely have a surprise with you."

hiss--

Ding Chen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
