Cao Ang was really stunned now.
The whole person stared intently at Dong Bai, who was looking up at him. As their eyes met, Cao Ang's thoughts were racing.
He didn't know what Dong Bai was thinking along the way, and what thoughts came to his mind when he was riding on horseback and leaning in his arms.
She didn't know what she was thinking when she stood in front of the horse's head just now, hesitated for a long time, and then leaned down to kiss herself.
And what kind of consideration was it to run into the house as if escaping in a hurry, only to run out more than ten seconds later and ask this question in front of him.
He only knows one thing.
That means it takes a lot of courage to do so!
Even in the Han Dynasty, when women had a higher status, there were very few examples of women taking the initiative to confess their love to a man and asking him if he would marry her.
Not to mention Dong Bai's character.
Being tough-tongued is definitely his biggest characteristic.
Even if that's what you think in your heart, you must say something sarcastic to show your arrogance and disdain.
Therefore, if you want Dong Bai to express his thoughts honestly and ask Cao Ang this question, I am afraid it will take more courage and determination than an ordinary woman.
It’s not easy!
It can also be seen that the favorability of him in his heart may have exceeded a certain upper limit, and he suppressed the idea of shrinking back.
That's why I make actions that go against my character and habits and follow my heart.
Looking at Dong Bai who was standing next to Chi Tuma, still looking up at his little face, anxiously waiting for his answer.
Cao Ang suddenly felt infinite pity in his heart.
At this moment.
Many worries and thoughts were all thrown away by Cao Ang.
For example, the confrontation between him and Dong Bai, and the separation between the two due to his upcoming departure from Luoyang, or that he might personally end Dong Zhuo's life in the future.
These things don't seem so important at the moment. At least they are not as important as making the right choice and saying the right thing.
Get off the horse.
Cao Ang stood in front of Dong Bai.
First, he hugged Dong Bai from the front, and then solemnly spoke in her ear.
"The next time you and I meet, no matter where or when, I will marry you!"
"This is my promise to you!"
Waiting for the answer I wanted.
Dong Bai, who was originally very courageous and determined, was instantly discouraged at this moment.
The tough shell collapsed instantly.
God knows how he could say such words and act like this.
Who can understand how much pressure she was under.
Once Cao Ang gives the answer of rejection, she, Dong Bai, will never want to be a human again in her life and will become a laughing stock forever.
Taking such a huge risk.
Finally got the response I wanted.
The little girl's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears for a while, and her eyelashes were covered with mist.
"Bah!"
Kissed Cao Ang again on the right side of his face.
Then he pushed away his arms.
"You gave a good answer just now. This is a reward from this girl."
After that, he ran home again in a hurry.
Just before entering the door, he held the door, turned around, and said solemnly to Cao Ang.
"Await your return!"
Cao Ang touched the symmetrical lip marks on both sides of his face and couldn't help but smile.
More!
…………
Late at night.
The streets and alleys in Luoyang City are already quiet. Except for watchmen and some special professions, there is no one walking around in the city.
Most of the buildings on both sides of the street were shrouded in darkness.
In the Sangong Mansion located in the southeast corner of the inner city, compared to other remote areas, as a gathering place for the upper class, many lanterns were brightly lit.
Cao Ang, who was standing next to the outer wall of Situ Mansion in a remote corner, raised his head and looked at the wall that had obviously been recently heightened and reinforced, and couldn't help feeling a little headache.
What's going on with Wang Situ?
It stands to reason that the Sangong Mansion should have the same building regulations, but why does your house have a higher wall? This makes the entire climb more difficult.
hiss!
Cao Ang suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that it was used to guard against me?
Tsk tsk tsk!
You said this Wang Situ is really good at judging people!
With the experience of sneaking into Ding Yuan's army camp by taking advantage of the chaos last time, Cao Ang was even more familiar with it this time.
Masked, head wrapped, and wearing a black short coat.
This way of dressing up is enough for him to blend into the night without being noticed.
Look at the high walls.
Cao Ang took a deep breath.
He took a few steps back, then squatted slightly, his feet suddenly exerted force, and he stepped directly on the wall with a run-up and sprint, and then his right hand narrowly caught the upper edge of the wall.
This is because after Cao Ang successively strengthened his body and transformed his arms, his physical fitness and the functions of his limbs and trunk have been greatly enhanced.
Otherwise, today there is absolutely no way to grab the edge of the wall with bare hands without using tools.
After climbing to the top.
The other hand also came up, and as he exerted his arms, his muscles expanded rapidly, and the body hanging by the wall was immediately pulled up.
With one turn, the rabbit rises and the falcon falls.
"clatter!"
The soft sound of landing did not disturb anyone, and Cao Ang just appeared at Wang Situ's house.
In a grand and arrogant way.
After landing, Cao Ang first observed the environment where he was, and visually determined that it was a courtyard in the middle.
The entire courtyard was pitch dark, with no lanterns hung and no night watchers. It was probably an uninhabited courtyard.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Ang identified a direction and headed for his destination.
Naturally, he had a purpose when he came to Wang Situ's house in the middle of the night. Of course, it was not to do anything illegal, but to deliver a letter to Wang Situ.
He and his father are leaving Luoyang City.
The assassination of Dong Zhuo that Wang Yun entrusted to Cao Cao must be brought to an end before leaving.
If Wang Yun doesn't take care of the problem, if Wang Yun thinks that Cao Cao didn't do anything and one day reveals this matter like a convulsion, his father's reputation will be ruined.
Therefore, Wang Situ must keep his mouth shut.
Of course it doesn't mean killing him.
But to shock through words.
…
With Cao Ang's eyesight now far beyond that of ordinary people, even in the dark, he could still walk on flat ground.
So the search is extremely fast.
It didn't take long to find his destination, Wang Yun's study room located in the Erjin courtyard.
Although there were lanterns hung around, there were people keeping vigil at the gate between the two courtyards.
But none of this is a problem to Cao Ang.
He easily pushed open the study door, then placed a small piece of cloth on the desk and pressed it down with a bamboo slip.
After doing all this.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong, Cao Ang returned along the original route, then climbed the wall and left Situ's Mansion.
Before leaving.
Cao Ang looked back at the high courtyard wall and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Fall in love during the day and be a snitch at night.
What an outrageous development!
…………
The next morning.
Everyone in the Cao family got up early.
Under the command of the father and son, the servants in the mansion began to get busy, loading the luggage that had been gathered in one place onto the cart.
Although there are a lot of people, there are also a lot of things.
By the time we finished packing and were ready to set off, it was already a red sun and the hour had passed.
Mrs. Ding, Diao Chan and other female relatives also boarded the carriage.
"Ang'er, get ready to go!"
Cao Cao jumped onto his horse and at the same time greeted Cao Ang, signaling his son to choose a horse as well.
However, after finishing speaking, there was no response for a long time.
Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his head and look aside.
I saw that Cao Ang was no longer by his side, but he was leading a tall horse out of the backyard.
In an instant.
Cao Cao's eyes widened.
All attention was drawn to the horse.
The whole person stared straight at him.
His eyes revealed incomparable obsession, as if a money-lover saw mountains of gold and silver in front of him.
As a military attaché between the DPRK and China, Cao Cao had a lot of exposure to war horses and knew both the good and bad ones.
Whether it is a horse that pulls goods or carts, a war horse that comes and goes like the wind in the army, or a high-quality horse specially provided for riding by senior generals, Cao Cao personally tried it all.
Therefore, he could tell the quality of a horse just by looking at it without touching it with his hands.
The horse in front of him was covered in smooth, smooth maroon red hair, with well-defined sections and extremely strong muscles.
The slender and vigorous limbs, the tall and mighty body, the well-proportioned and coordinated figure, and the faint spirituality revealed in the big copper bell eyes.
Cao Cao knew it.
This horse is extraordinary!
Especially when compared with the well-bred horses under his seat, he is completely crushed.
The horse I was riding was already a carefully selected and excellent war horse, but in front of this maroon horse, I was like a little kid.
The muscles that were originally quite strong were unbearable to look at when compared horizontally.
Although I haven't seen what this horse looks like when running, I can probably guess it just by looking at its appearance.
Cao Cao admired in his heart.
When Cao Ang arrived, he couldn't help but ask: "My son, where did you get such a beautiful horse?"
"Oh, it was a gift from a friend!"
Cao Ang patted the horse's back and answered quite casually.
However, Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with this answer. He felt that he had been fooled.
"Zixiu, it's okay if you lie to others, but you also lie to me, your father?"
"This kind of rare horse is absolutely priceless. For horse lovers, it is worth a thousand pieces of money. Most people can use it as a family heirloom."
"Which friend of yours is so wealthy, so generous, and gives away such valuable treasures at will?"
In fact, the red rabbit and horse were brought out today.
One was naturally because he was leaving and there were some things that he couldn't hide. The other was that Cao Ang himself felt that it was time to show off his cards to his father and reveal some things to him.
Of course, this occasion is not appropriate now.
So faced with his father's doubts.
Cao Ang just smiled mysteriously, got on the red rabbit horse, and then pointed to the east.
"Father, please leave the city first. I will tell you later which friend is so generous."
Cao Cao was doubtful.
But he could only nod his head in agreement.
…
Exited the upper east gate.
Cross the moat.
The whole family first repaired in the open space outside the city, while Cao Cao looked back at the majestic Luoyang City.
His eyes were full of emotion.
For the capital of the Han Dynasty, he was just a short-term passer-by. When he entered the capital from the local area, he arrived quickly, and now he left the capital just as quickly.
I hope that this time I will leave Luoyang City and go to the local area to recruit troops, so that I can be successful in the future crusade against Dong Zhuo. As long as I can restore peace to the Han Dynasty, I will have no regrets in this life.
Just after sighing for a while.
Cao Cao suddenly realized something was not right.
He carefully observed the location of the city gate, then turned back and said to Cao Ang.
"Ang'er, it's weird. On weekdays, these city gates are filled with pedestrians and traffic, but why are they empty today?"
"Since I walked out of the east gate, apart from our family and the soldiers guarding the city gate, my father has never seen anyone else."
Cao Cao was very confused.
However, Cao Ang patted him on the shoulder.
"Father, don't worry. This is a city gate specially set aside to facilitate the entry and exit of the army later and to avoid being rushed by the common people."
"I see!"
"Um?"
Cao Cao nodded first, then suddenly turned around and looked at Cao Ang with an expression of surprise on his face.
"How did you know there was an army coming in and out?"
Before Cao Ang could explain.
There was a noise at the city gate not far away, and then soldiers, led by dozens of horsemen, lined up and marched out of the city.
I dare not say that the movements are uniform, but under the leadership of the general, they are also in strict order and orderly.
Not long after, an organized army of at least a thousand people gathered in a square formation in front of the city gate.
As the summer wind blows, the military flags hunt.
A black flag fluttered in the wind. The word "Cao" embroidered with silk thread on the flag was particularly eye-catching at this moment.
Cao Cao stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Whose army is this?
The coach's surname is Cao.
Is there any big boss named Cao in the city who can lead thousands of troops out of the city at this time?
And from Cao Cao's perspective, although this army is not an elite force, it can be considered a relatively mature force.
At least the armor-wearing rate in the army is not low.
The worst ones also wore a layer of leather armor.
Moreover, when they left the city just now, under the command of the general, there was no chaos, which shows that there is a certain degree of discipline.
It's pretty good to have such an army.
Cao Cao couldn't help but show a hint of envy in his eyes.
How great it would be if this army was in my own name!
Then no matter what he does next, he will be able to do it with ease. Wherever the army goes, the local counties and counties will definitely be polite to him.
There is no need to worry about bandits running rampant along the way. When recruits are recruited for training in the future, veterans can be with them.
It's a pity that it's just a thought.
He is now a polished right-center man.
…
Just as Cao Cao was making various guesses and feeling random emotions in his heart, there was another movement in the military formation.
From among the dozen or so riders who had previously been at the head of the team, a general rode out.
Arriving at a position three feet away from the father and son, he quickly dismounted from his horse and quickly rushed to Cao Ang.
Then in Cao Cao's shocked eyes.
The general knelt down on one knee.
He shouted with a serious tone and a loud voice.
"General, all 2,000 people in Huben's camp have arrived. General, please give me your instructions!"
Cao Cao was confused!
