After returning to the camp, Cao Cao lowered his face: "Go check, who spread the news that I want to go back to Luoyang? The spies of Gongsun's family have all entered the house, we don't know yet. Woolen cloth!"

    His gloomy face made Cao Ang a little scared. The little boy ran into the tent with his father holding a small bow, his knuckles were turning blue, if it wasn't for Ding Shi's greetings, the little boy wouldn't be able to slow down.

    "What's the matter? Why are you looking so scary?"

    Cao Cao kept silent, so Ding coaxed Cao Ang to speak. After all, Cao Ang was raised as an heir. After drinking a bowl of hot tea, he suppressed his panic. He recounted what had just happened.

    Cao Cao snorted: "Aang has a good memory."

    Cao Ang blinked.

    So Cao Cao continued: "Gongsun Du is a ruthless and cruel man who will retaliate. It is no wonder that he did not serve as the prefect of Jizhou for a long time."

    "Then why did father recommend him?" The boy's voice was clear and crisp.

    "I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain." Cao Cao said.

    "If you want to offend the villain, you have to kill with one blow." Cao Sheng said.

    "And I only said help him introduce General He, whether he can get an official or not depends on his own ability." Cao Cao continued.

      Cao Sheng continued.

    Cao Ang: absorbing black ink, black ink.

    Although Gongsun Du wants to leave Liaodong is not necessarily a bad thing for the Cao family, but the inner ghost that should be investigated still needs to be investigated. This time the leak was inconsequential, but what about next time?

      Don't say that the accompanying nurse in the hospital has been notified long ago, and even the maid next to Mrs. Ding knows it. There are too many places where information may be leaked. "

    A Sheng leaned on the soft cushion to warm his hands: "You can't say that. The county where Gongsun's house is located is two days away from Wenxian Shaoshuo. If you want to spread the news across this distance, there is no certainty. It's impossible to go on the road. This excludes a large number of people. In addition, Gongsun Du's heart will not believe hearsay news. If I make a mistake, won't it be shameful in front of my brother? That means the messenger It has enough weight to convince Gongsun Du, and at the same time, it shows that there are not many people who handle the news. But the difficulty is... I just can't find such a person. "

    "It's not that it's hard to find, it's just that the owner doesn't want to believe it."

    A Sheng raised his head sharply, squinting at him.

    "Xu is that An Lang heard from a few young gentlemen, and accidentally left it to the two Da clan. He only met his two aunts in Zhaojiazhuang not long before the winter hunting. , and the time is just right.”

    "Impossible! Ashi stared at him the whole time. If such a thing happened, it is impossible not to report back."

    "A Shi can't stop the aunt and nephew from saying two intimate words."

    Asheng didn't speak for a long time, and then he smiled, the kind of laugh that was extremely angry: "Qin Yuanbee, don't be lazy. Whether it leaked from An Lang or not, you Don't think it's his. Check it out. Plug the other loopholes first."

    Qin Liu bowed his head and saluted: "This is natural."

    Asheng combed all the population up and down twice, but didn't find out why. As for Cao Cao, who is relatively more leaky - Boss Cao didn't think about checking it carefully. He has his pranks.

    Since the winter hunting, the plastic brotherhood between Cao Cao and Gongsun Du has become more warm. Today I'll come to you for a drink, tomorrow you'll come to me to practice martial arts, and the day after tomorrow, everyone will lead people to hunt outside the fortress. When the New Year was approaching, Cao Cao even went to Gongsundu with his family to pay New Year's greetings, just like a good family.

    At the banquet, both of them blushed. Cao Cao put his arms around Gongsun Du's neck and asked, "Shengji, hiccup, I've always wondered, where did you come from, that, hiccup, I heard that I'm going back to Luoyang?"

    Gongsun Du pointed at Cao Cao with drunken eyes and laughed: "Meng De, as smart as you are, there are things you don't understand." He hooked his fingers and motioned Cao Cao to put his ears close come up. "It's the woman from the Ta family. I have long thought that she has a ghost and wants to provoke an infighting between our two families to avenge her family. But Meng De is magnanimous, how can it be guessed by a lowly servant."

     

    Gongsun Du was worthy of Cao Cao's "ruthless" evaluation, and the next day, a **** head was sent to Cao's house.

    "It seems that it is really news from the Ta Clan." The **** wooden box on Cao Cao's box, "Asheng's news network is all over Liaodong, and Gongsun Du does not know how much we have found here. , he didn't dare to make a scapegoat to fool us."

    A Sheng's face turned blue: "It's impossible for Ta Biniang to have eyeliner in our house. The servants of the old house of the Ta family are all gone, and even those who have a little relationship are farming in Dalian. Woolen cloth."

    "You." Cao Cao didn't know what to say, "I can't care about a child. It's just that he has a feud with us to destroy the family, so be careful."

    Cao Cao also suspects Ta'an.

    No, almost sure.

    Asheng had no choice but to move Ta'an to Maotun Village, the northernmost part of Wenxian County, before Cao Cao started. In addition to young and middle-aged immigrants, Maotun Village also has mixed-race people who have defected from various places. Cao Cao didn't care about Ah Sheng's little actions, he packed up his bags and prepared to go on the road with Gongsun Du.

    The Cao family was very indifferent to Ta'an's departure. Maybe some sympathy, but also subdued under the common interests of the Cao family. Ding was worried about Ah Sheng's condition, and specially invited her to drink tea, which was made of the extremely precious longan sugar in the north.

    "This time it was Meng De who was not being kind." Ding said, "Erlang loves Ta'an, so he has to save some face for the child. And Anlang didn't mean it."

    A Sheng held the cup and said nothing.

    The north wind is still blowing outside, blowing snowflakes from the ground, leaving a vast expanse of white.

     Mrs Ding leaned over and patted Ah Sheng's hand lightly: "Would you like to go to the orphanage to adopt a child?"

    "No." Ah Sheng drank the sugar water in the cup, "Children are all debts."

    Unexpected and reasonable, only Cao Cao's three children came to plead for Ta'an. Even Cao Zhen was concerned and panicked. The one who was most anxious was Cao Shuo. The usual little transparent face turned red and rushed straight into Ah Sheng's arms: "Second uncle, please bring An Lang back. He is not such a person."

    Cao Shuo, who originally died, was taken care of, and the eight-year-old child was too heavy to hold. Ah Sheng took his little nephew in his arms and said softly, "I don't believe An Lang can be so stupid either."

    "That...that..." Cao Shuo blinked his red eyes and looked at Ah Sheng expectantly.

    "Silly boy. Look at your brother, he is not so anxious."

    Cao Ang is worthy of being the eldest son, and he is more stable when things happen. The little boy bowed respectfully: "Ang knows that the second uncle has a plan, and asks the second uncle to teach me."

    A Sheng put the quiet Cao Shuo back on the mat: "Although Ba Niang is dead, the person who spread the news to Ba Niang is still there, so is Jiu Niang. When bad news gets out, they will always move."

    She can always prove her innocence for Ta An, but this may not be a happy result.

    The night is as dark as ink, there is no moonlight, and even the snow is black. The mud wall of Maotun Village, which was crushed by heavy snow, was only half repaired, revealing a huge gap. Naturally, there are villagers in the village who are on duty at night, but after all, it is impossible for them to stare at this gap without moving. Tonight is New Year's Eve, a bonfire is lit in the center of the village, and the aroma of wine and meat can't stop piercing people's noses.

    Therefore, the shift is very frequent.

    The villagers are simple, they help each other, and always make sure that everyone can eat a hot meal.

      In less than ten minutes, he got out again, and there was already a big bulging burden in his arms. The black shadow walked quickly in the snow, as if the night had no effect on his vision, and soon came to the woods outside the village where he was cutting wood. A tall horse was tied to the tree, and a woman in a cape was waiting beside the horse.

    "The child...the child?" The woman asked in a trembling voice.

    The shadow shoved the burden into the woman's arms. At this time, it can be seen that the shadow is a head taller than the woman, and he is a strong man. And in the bag he was holding easily was a sleeping child!

    "Come on!" The man lowered his voice and urged, "The caravan will set off in an hour. If the hour is missed, I will see what you will do." He helped the woman onto the horse, holding the reins before leaving In two steps, a row of torches lit up in the surrounding woods.

    What is even more shocking is a clear voice: "Is it appropriate to let my Cao family's horses carry traitors from my Cao family?"

    "Rush."

    A battle-hardened person can hear the sound of a bow and arrow pulling a string. The strong man let go of the reins and knelt down slowly: "Second Young Master."

    Juniang hugged Ta An even tighter, she wouldn't dismount, she could only stay on the horse.

    Qin Liu walked up personally, dislocated the man's arms twice with a click, and then lifted his chin to expose the man's face to the firelight. He was still very young, but in his twenties. He was not someone Ah Sheng could name, but he was a little familiar.

    "Wei Bing, from Western Liaoning, 26 years old, joined Juvenile Riding seven years ago."

    "It turned out to be a teenager riding, no wonder he is so good. It is not easy to steal a weak woman from the deep house compound." Ah Sheng didn't know whether to be happy or sad, "Seven years of Old man, brother should be sad."

    Wei Bing knelt in the snow, the pain of dislocation did not make him frown. "I labored the Second Young Master and General Manager Qin. Are they subordinates?"

    A Sheng frowned slightly: "How did you get involved with the people of the Ta family? Or do you have an unknown grudge with my family?"

    Wei Bing looked away and lowered his head again. "I have leaked the secret of the master's family, and I planned to apologize with death. Second Young Master, don't ask."

    What is this? Ah Sheng didn't know what to do with this hard bone. The scene suddenly froze.

      Please also ask Er Gong Ziwang to open up." Then he slammed into the dead tree.

    Qin Liu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him, but Wei Bing's limp arms couldn't provide effective traction at all. Just a little bit, the sharp broken branch slashed Wei Bing's neck, and the blood sprayed on the snow, making a sizzling sound.

    He did. Battle-hardened men know what angle and what hardness can kill.

    This is really beyond Qin Liu's expectations. He confirmed Wei Bing's wound, then got up, shook his head, and pleaded with Ah Sheng: "I was arrogant, so I should have locked him up."

    A Sheng raised his head and locked his eyes on Ta Jiuniang who was trembling on the horse's back: "It seems that only you can tell me the truth."

    The truth is unexpectedly simple: Wei Bing likes Biniang.

    It was just that Wei Bing was also a participant in the massacre of the Ta Clan, so this love was doomed to fail from the very beginning. After Biniang married into Gongsun's family, Wei Bing often helped Cao's family with boxing gifts. During the period, there may be various crises in the inner house, and finally the two sides became acquainted with each other. This time, Cao Cao was going to bring someone back to the Central Plains, and Wei Bing was also on the list.

    Jiniang's confession was sent to Cao Cao's desk, and the twins remained silent for a long time.

    "Wei Bing is a pity. Bold and careful talents are not inferior to the spy department."

    Cao Cao's eyes were already red: "If he told me back then, I would give him the Ta clan..."

    "It seems to be in Eight Mother's suicide note, asking him to protect An Lang."

    Cao Cao wiped his eyes and stood up. The team returning to the Central Plains had been waiting in front of the mansion for a quarter of an hour. He is the leader of the team and cannot show his cowardice in front of his subordinates and Gongsun Du. "Wei Bing, you will be compensated for your death in battle. Ta'an and Ta Jiuniang, you can figure it out."

    A Sheng nodded: "Jiniang said that Gongsun Du is a bit cruel, and Brother A should be more careful."

    What Ah Sheng did not say was that Jiu Niang had already hanged herself. With multiple whiplashes and burns all over her body, Jiuniang, who has a strong self-esteem, can't bear the sympathetic eyes of the Cao family, and she can see clearly Ah Sheng's good intentions to save An Lang, so she walks without any scruples. When these sinners are gone, Ta An can live innocently.

    She didn't say that Wei Bing's parents and brothers were separated, and there was no way to talk about pensions.

    Two small graves without tombstones were erected outside Maotun Village. One has Ta Jiuniang buried in it; the other has the heads of Wei Bing and Baniang buried in it.

    Ta'an was assigned a hut in Maotun Village, where A Shi and a couple from the spy department will be stationed here. When the primary school in Maotun Village is built, Ta'an will be given a place to enroll.

     

    "Will you wait for me there?"

    "I'm there waiting for all beings, including you."

    The child who was abandoned by Guta County did not keep his mother after all. The road back home is covered with snow, and there is no end to it. He knelt at the beginning of the road and cried bitterly. For the first time, venting, crazy, destroyed his beautiful face.
