The sun sets in the west.
The moon rises tomorrow.
Smoke curled up from the camp.
The soldiers were making a fire to cook.
The Cao family and his son have been away from Luoyang City for two days and one night. At this time, they are located in the southeast of Gong County, which is considered to be outside the city circle with Luoyang as the core.
Considering that it is not safe to walk at night, whether it is directing the march of the army or the terrain, one needs to take certain risks.
Therefore, at Zhang Liao's suggestion, Cao Ang simply ordered to set up camp on the spot, and because it was far enough away from Luoyang, he let go of his worries and made a fire to cook instead of eating dry food like last night.
Looking at the lively scene in the camp.
Cao Cao nodded from time to time.
His face was full of satisfaction and satisfaction.
But whenever his eyes turned to the northwest corner of the camp, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown slightly, and then he fell into long thoughts.
In the northwest corner are several spacious carriages, guarding each other diagonally. The windows and the curtains at the rear of the carriages are all tightly drawn. There is no way to peek into the carriages from the outside.
Moreover, these carriages were separated from the main force of the Cao family. Cao Ang dispatched a group of soldiers to protect them in the middle and did not allow anyone to get close.
Recalling the situation when these carriages joined the team, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown deeper.
It was probably around the time that the troops joined the main force during the day, and the location was between Gong County and Yanshi County.
Integrate quietly.
If Cao Cao hadn't been paying attention to his team along the way, it would be difficult to notice that there were so many more carriages.
No one was seen getting out of the carriage along the way.
Whether you are traveling or resting.
If Cao Cao hadn't seen several maids waiting around, bringing food in during meals and providing utensils when using the toilet, he might have thought that there were no people on these carriages at all.
Cao Cao once asked Cao Ang who the people in these carriages were.
But Cao Ang refused to answer.
It was said that in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, the identities of the people in the carriage must be revealed after the family arrived at their final destination.
Cao Cao was quite depressed about this.
There is something that you can't even tell your old father. Are you still worried that your father will leak the news?
I was very angry, but I had to accept it.
In addition, there was another person who caught Cao Cao's attention, and that was Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who followed these four carriages and joined the large army.
Cao Cao didn't know this man very well.
After being introduced by Cao Ang, I found out that he was a direct descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan. He had previously served as a palace guard in Luoyang, but now he has given up his official position.
Cao Cao of the Xun family in Yingchuan knew it.
A world-famous gentry.
A descendant of Xunzi, the famous divine monarch Xun Shu was born at that time. Not to mention the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, the collection of books at home was terrifying.
The direct descendants of such a top-notch family definitely don't need to worry about their future. When they reach a certain age, the elders in the family will arrange everything properly.
Although we are living in troubled times now.
The path arranged by the family may not be that easy, but it is better and better than ordinary people.
But now this man named Xun Yu actually hangs out with Cao Ang all day long.
He seemed to regard Cao Ang as his elder brother and his son as his life mentor.
This made Cao Cao even more puzzled.
My son is quite good. Anyway, I, as a father, can't keep up with him, but it won't make you, a boy from a family, so sought after, right?
I always feel that as soon as I leave Luoyang City, things will change drastically.
…
It's extremely unsafe to drive in the wild these days.
Wild beasts appear from time to time.
It would be better if it was close to the city. After all, local officials would often lead soldiers to eliminate wild beasts, which greatly weakened the density of the beast herd.
But in the wilderness far from the city.
No one really cares about large carnivorous beasts such as tigers and wolves. There are endless incidents of attacking passers-by in the middle of the night.
So after dinner.
Fires were lit everywhere in the military camp, using dazzling firelight to dispel the darkness and at the same time deter any wild beasts that might appear.
"Uh-huh!"
Cao Ang opened the curtain, bringing up a gust of cold summer night wind, causing the bright lights in the tent to flicker.
At this moment, under the light, his father Cao Cao was holding a bamboo slip and reading it with gusto, not knowing what he was reading.
"Is your mother asleep?"
Seeing his son walking in, Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips and pointed to the tent next to him.
Cao Ang nodded.
"After a day's journey, mother and the others are already exhausted. When I came here just now, they asked me to put out a few candles. They are probably asleep now."
When away from home or in a military camp, it is very inconvenient for men and women to live in the same tent.
Therefore, mother Ding and Diao Chan lived together, while Cao Ang lived in a tent with his father.
After getting a response.
Cao Cao held up his bamboo slips again and shook his head, looking like he was crazily absorbing knowledge.
After Cao Ang sat cross-legged for a quarter of an hour, he couldn't sit still and even felt sleepy.
It’s so boring!
In this wilderness, there is no village in front, no store in the back, no entertainment activities at all, and there is only a big man like my father nearby.
It's really sleepy.
The key is that he couldn't read the books that Cao Cao brought. He knew the characters on the bamboo slips individually, but he didn't recognize them when they were put together. He suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated.
After looking around in the tent for a while with some boredom, Cao Ang felt that there was no need to go to bed so early, so he simply stood up and said hello to Cao Cao.
"Father, I'm going out for a walk!"
Then he opened the curtain and walked out.
…
The summer evening breeze blows.
Cao Ang's sleepiness was immediately reduced by more than half.
He looked at the somewhat quiet camp.
He nodded to the few guards guarding the camp, and then wandered around.
Don't know why.
Somehow, he wandered to the four-horse carriage in the northwest corner of the camp.
There is no doubt that this is where the Empress Dowager He and others have settled down.
Speaking of which, according to Xun Yu's plan, only three carriages were planned. After all, there were only three people.
The result was before leaving.
Queen Mother He suddenly expressed that she would take away her brother's daughter-in-law, Yin Shi, and leave Luoyang.
After all, her brothers He Jin and He Miao were dead, and He Jin's son was also dead. The one-year-old child in the arms of his daughter-in-law was the only male in the He family.
Queen Mother He didn't want her family to be cut off.
Therefore, he made a request to Xun Yu.
In the absence of Cao Ang, the Queen Mother's will was of course particularly important, so Xun Yu agreed to this request.
And during the day, he had quietly reported the matter to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang didn't care about this.
We have to leave after all, it doesn’t matter if there are more or less people, there is no need to make the Queen Mother unhappy.
What's more, although he has never seen this Yin family, he must be good-looking, even if he keeps it for eye candy.
Without disturbing other people's carriages, Cao Ang walked straight to the Queen Mother's carriage.
"Bang bang!"
Knuckles rapped lightly on the car window.
"Yingying?"
As the unique endearment between the two people was shouted out, there was a sudden noise in the carriage.
Then the curtain opened.
Revealing a charming face with a smile like a flower.
"You heartless thing, come up here!"
Cao Ang looked around with some scruples and saw that none of the soldiers on guard at night were there. After making sure that no one had seen him, he decisively stepped onto the carriage.
…
to be honest.
There's nothing you can do in the car.
After all, this is a march, the conditions are not so convenient, and cleaning work is definitely not easy.
If you were all sticky and dirty, but had no place to wash yourself, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing Queen Mother He.
Therefore, the two of them did not do anything out of the ordinary, they just looked at each other and crowded around each other in the slightly narrow carriage.
Maybe it was because of the hot weather, and the carriage curtains were tight and airtight.
So the Queen Mother changed her attire.
Wear the regular, dignified palace dress that you usually wear, with the hemline reaching to your feet.
It was replaced by a short red gauze skirt made of light and thin material, and the white and tender skin under the skirt could be faintly seen.
At the same time, the socks on the feet have also been taken off, and they are just stuffed into the embroidered shoes casually. The white-like insteps and the slightly rosy heels contrast with each other, giving people a strong color impact.
Cao Ang's right hand passed through the Queen Mother's back and hugged the other side of her waist. He pulled the Queen Mother towards him and locked her tightly in his arms.
Warm fragrance and warm jade, like moisturizing in one's arms.
The warmth from the Queen Mother's delicate body and the jade-like touch made Cao Ang couldn't help but hug her tighter.
The alluring fragrance of the beautiful woman beside him made Cao Ang feel that the air was sweet and had an indescribable ambiguity.
Cao Ang held it in place with one hand, and placed the other hand lightly on the Queen Mother's thigh. There was something special about the short gauze skirt.
Of course, Cao Ang is not an honest person.
After Zhuang Ruo accidentally flicked it twice, the hem of her skirt, which was only an inch or two below her knees, was brushed up.
Cao Ang moved his big hand silently.
The hot palm immediately covered the thigh that was not covered by the dress.
The plump and tender flesh instantly rippled across his fingertips, making Cao Ang mistakenly think that he was touching a piece of juicy and tender tofu.
Interesting!
…
The Queen Mother originally allowed Cao Ang to do whatever he wanted.
Lying quietly and lazily in Cao Ang's arms.
I plan to enjoy this moment of peace.
As a result, the more I lay down, the more I felt something was wrong. My skirt seemed to be lifted up higher and higher, and more and more of my snow-white thighs were exposed. If I lifted it up any more, I would have to take it off.
This made the Queen Mother couldn't help but pat Cao Ang's mischievous left hand gently on the back.
He cursed somewhat coquettishly.
"Don't move your hands!"
"I'm going to get angry later. Let's see how you can calm it down for me. There's no bathing place in this wilderness. I don't want to be sticky and uncomfortable."
The Queen Mother said it seriously.
Cao Ang also stopped moving his hands with a smile.
Then lay it quietly on your lap.
The two hugged each other for a while.
Queen Mother He suddenly thought of something, and moved around in Cao Ang's arms, then lay on her side, so that she could see Cao Ang's face when she raised her head.
Stared for a moment.
The Queen Mother smiled sweetly and asked jokingly: "Are we going to your hometown on this trip?"
Cao Ang shook his head.
"Originally, I planned to go to my hometown, but now that my father has been appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Jiyin County, as a son, I naturally followed him to Dingtao County."
Cao Ang explained seriously.
However, what she received in exchange was some joking words from the Queen Mother. The beautiful woman gently tapped her right hand on her fresh red lips twice, and then the smile on her face became more and more blooming.
"That's really a pity!"
"When your grandfather was a Taiwei, I met him once or twice. I originally thought that I would return home with you this time to see what kind of person the old Taiwei would be when he met his grandson-in-law who is the Queen Mother. What’s the reaction?”
As soon as this statement came out.
Cao Ang immediately smiled.
I had never thought that the Queen Mother had such a girlish heart for teasing and joking. It was really an eye-opener.
But in the final analysis, when Cao Ang heard the Queen Mother's words, his first reaction was to feel happy.
Since the Queen Mother was rescued from the palace and the relationship between the two has undergone a substantial change, her words and deeds have undergone great changes.
She no longer acted like she was condescending in front of Cao Ang, and she was gradually turning into a little woman.
Now she can even call herself granddaughter-in-law, which shows how far she has changed.
Looking at the Queen Mother, she still looked like she was snickering.
Cao Ang couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her nose, and then said dotingly.
"My grandfather bought the lieutenant back then and held it for a short period of time. It was like having fun and raising his worth."
"I have never met you a few times, not to mention that I am old now and my memory is not very good. It is hard to say whether I remember you, the noble Queen Mother."
"On the contrary, my father used to serve as a captain in the Dian Army. He has been following orders in the West Garden. He has met you several times."
Listen to what Cao Ang said.
Queen Mother He couldn't help but think for a moment.
Then he said with interest.
"It's impossible for Huang'er and I to hide tightly all the time. At least when we get to Dingtao County, your father will definitely know about this. He should come to see Huang'er and me by then, right?"
Cao Ang nodded.
This is what it should be.
The reason why Cao Cao was not informed on the road was because he was afraid that there would be too many people talking. The more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be.
And after arriving in Dingtao County, turning the entire Jiyin County into his own territory, as long as the news is not spread to the world, there will be no problem.
As Cao Ang gave an affirmative answer.
The smile on the Queen Mother's face completely blossomed.
She looked like a little girl who got her favorite candy, smiling happily.
"Your father is a minister, and my son is a king. When he comes to see me and the emperor, he must be respectful and courteous, and he will not dare to go beyond the rules."
"But he would never have thought that the Queen Mother, who was sitting at the top with a dignified and serious face, was actually his daughter-in-law, and would be mercilessly educated by his son with a stick at night."
"I really want to see what your father's reaction will be when he knows the truth one day!"
That's what I said.
Cao Ang couldn't help but think about it.
A picture couldn't help but come up in my mind.
Cao Cao is my father, I am the husband of Queen Mother He, and Liu Bian is the son of Queen Mother He, and Cao Cao is Liu Bian's minister.
Just the question of who should salute whom first would probably take a long time to figure out.
Think of this.
Cao Ang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He said with some helplessness: "My father is a brave and loyal man. If he knew that I dared to do such a sin, he would definitely pull out the big sword from his waist and chop me in pieces!"
Listen to Cao Ang's words.
The Queen Mother laughed even louder.
But after the laughter stopped, he still moved up, and then lightly scratched Cao Ang's face with his fingertips.
"Don't be afraid!"
"If he dares to hit you with his sword, I will stand in front of you. He won't dare to hit me, right?"
"We, husband and wife, are one body, we work together as one, and even your father can't do anything to you!"
This moment of true emotion comes out.
Cao Ang couldn't help but feel a little moved in his eyes.
Feeling the nails still scratching lightly on her face, she lowered her head and looked at the Queen Mother's charming eyes and her fresh and tender red lips.
Couldn't help but lean down.
"Well……"
