"Father, you might as well come with me!"
After saying that, Cao Ang stuffed Yuan Shao's letter into his arms, then opened the door of the study and walked out.
And Cao Cao saw this situation.
No time to think.
All he could do was straighten his clothes, smooth out his slightly gloomy face, and then hurriedly followed.
After leaving the prefect's mansion, Cao Ang went straight to his home.
Dian Weichui accompanied him at the end to protect him.
Cao Cao walked leisurely in the middle, following Cao Ang while thinking deeply in his mind.
Countless thoughts burst out in my mind.
Cao Cao felt that he had to think carefully about what his son said just now, what kind of meaning it represented, and where it was leading him now.
And among these issues, the most important point is.
That is whether the emperor and the queen mother are dead or alive?
Cao Cao was originally determined.
After all, Yuan Shaoxin had sent it, and the article swore that he had sent people to investigate, but found nothing, and finally came to a conclusion.
The analysis is reasonable.
If the person is gone, where can he be?
It can’t possibly disappear out of thin air, right?
Either they are hidden or they are dead, but now the entire city of Luoyang is in Dong Zhuo's hands, and is under his tight control.
If you want to save a few living people from under his nose, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
And Dong Zhuo himself would not have anything to do when he was full, so he hid Liu Bian and the others. After all, there was no need, he had already taken control of the situation.
So based on this analysis.
The fate of the deposed emperor and the deposed empress dowager is probably self-evident.
But when I think of Cao Ang's attitude just now.
And those meaningful words.
Cao Cao intuitively felt that he could not make a conclusion.
Maybe things will take a turn for the better?
After all, Cao Ang could always surprise him in unexpected places, and he had long been accustomed to his son's magic.
…
With this thought in mind.
Cao Cao followed Cao Ang through most of the streets.
Came to Cao Ang's residence.
Looking at the plaque above his head, Cao Cao had doubts in his eyes.
Isn't this Ang'er's home?
Could it be that there are some secrets in his family?
Just when Cao Cao was confused.
However, Cao Ang went straight to the small courtyard next to his house and stopped a maid who was busy in the front yard.
He waved and signaled her to come over.
Cao Ang ordered seriously.
"Go to the backyard and tell some nobles that Cao Ang, the captain of Huben School, and Cao Cao, the prefect of Jiyin County, have come to see you!"
These maids are all old acquaintances.
All of them were brought out from Xun Yu's house, and they had been waiting for the Queen Mother and others all the way, so they knew everything about them.
So after hearing Cao Ang's instructions.
The maid bowed, then put down her work and ran towards the backyard quickly.
Only Cao Ang, who was waiting quietly in front of the door, and Cao Cao, who was confused, were left.
Look left, look right.
Looked up and down.
Look at the son's calm expression and the back of the maid running quickly.
Cao Cao suddenly noticed something.
An idea flashed across his mind.
Noble...
You still need to state your official name so solemnly.
hiss!
Cao Cao took a deep breath.
No way……
Could it be that he really guessed it right?
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more his scalp became numb, and he intuitively felt that he might have guessed the truth of the matter.
Of course, everything still needs to wait for a while, and the truth will be revealed when the two parties meet.
…
Didn't have to wait long.
The maid ran back quickly and saluted the two of them panting.
"Gentlemen, please come in!"
Cao Ang didn't say much, and just followed the maid quietly towards the backyard.
Cao Cao naturally followed him obediently.
Just keep moving forward.
He became more and more uneasy.
Looking at the deep and secluded environment around it, it seems that few people live there.
For some reason, Cao Cao had the illusion that his heart was going to jump out of his chest.
After passing through the gate between the two courtyards, the maid walking at the front had already opened the door of the room on the right.
Cao Cao swallowed.
He pursed his dry lips.
Then he took a solid step.
The next scene shocked Cao Cao instantly, and he will never forget it for a long time.
I saw two people sitting upright in the room.
A thin young man wore a large red and black robe and a small crown on his head.
Next to him is a woman, wearing a bright yellow dark coat and a big coat, with her bun filled with various expensive pearls and jade hairpins.
It was the former emperor Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He!
Cao Cao stared straight ahead in stunned silence.
Some couldn't believe their eyes.
Isn't this what Yuan Shao said in his letter, suspecting that the two sages had been killed by Dong Zhuo and their bones were buried in the mass graves of Luoyang City?
This...this is alive!
Cao Cao was stunned for a while.
It wasn't until Liu Bian, at his mother's signal, took the initiative to say, "Cao Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Only then did Lao Cao wake up from a dream.
Push the golden mountain and knock down the jade pillar.
In front of the mother and son, he knelt down on one knee.
His voice was full of excitement and he said: "I am here to help Cao Cao, the governor of Yin County, to see your Majesty and to see the Queen Mother!"
A simple greeting.
It actually made Cao Cao's voice tremble.
It can be seen that his sincerity is sincere.
…
"Cao Qing, please get up quickly!"
"Between you and me, we are not ordinary monarchs and ministers, and we don't need to pay such a grand gift to others!"
With the support of Liu Bian's hands, Cao Cao stood up. Feeling the sense of reality when the emperor lifted him up, Cao Cao was sure that he was not in a dream.
Today has been full of twists and turns.
Ever since he received Yuan Shao's letter, his mood had been ups and downs, sometimes sad and sometimes happy, which really tormented him.
But it doesn't matter.
Now the emperor and the queen mother appeared in front of him intact. The two sages were not killed by Dong Zhuo. This result is good.
That's enough!
At the very least, this proves that Cao Cao is not a loyal minister in vain, and he no longer has to suffer in his heart and live in sorrow and shame all day long.
"call!"
Let out a breath.
Cao Cao wiped his face.
Then a smile appeared on his face and he said in a sincere tone: "When I saw Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, I couldn't calm down. I lost my composure for a while and laughed!"
Queen Mother He waved her hand.
After speaking to comfort him.
Ask Liu Bian to invite Cao Cao to the side and sit down.
Cao Ang stood behind his father to show the superiority of the elder to the younger.
Queen Mother He saw this situation.
There was a faint smile on his face.
But it quickly disappeared again.
After dealing with Cao Cao for a few words, the Queen Mother gave the initiative of the conversation to her son.
Instead, he carefully observed Cao Ang.
…
My husband is so handsome!
Especially standing with his father Cao Cao, forming a sharp contrast.
How could such a reckless man give birth to such a handsome and handsome man?
Empress Dowager He couldn't help but laugh a little when she thought of the questions she raised when she first met Cao Ang in the palace.
Then he turned his attention back to Cao Cao.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but click her tongue secretly.
Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, did you know that the Queen Mother who just knelt down on one knee to salute has now become your daughter-in-law?
When I think of Cao Cao's precious son, I often run into my room in the dark these days, and fight to the limit with the equipment that increases the attack speed.
But Cao Cao, the father, had to bow respectfully and shout honorifics when he saw her.
Such a contrast.
Just thinking about it, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh out loud. If she were the only one here, I'm afraid this beautiful woman would be laughing so hard.
I don't know that on the day when the matter was revealed and all the truth was revealed, Cao Cao learned about it.
How would he react?
Just imagining the picture in her mind, Queen Mother He couldn't help but marvel.
According to Lang Jun, his father Cao Cao was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and was loyal to the emperor's people.
I don’t know how such a loyal person could raise such a rebellious son.
At such a young age, he actually charged at the Queen Mother!
If the discipline is corrupted, then you are not a loyal minister!
Think about this.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but cast a flirtatious look at Cao Ang, and blinked twice quickly with one eye, as if she was being discharged.
Such provocative behavior.
Even though Cao Ang was sure, he didn't dare to make any changes.
This made him angry!
Hey little lady, don’t beg for mercy tonight, you’ll be in good hands then.
I have to teach you a lesson with five thousand military sticks on the spot!
…
After the monarch and his ministers chatted for a while.
Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore.
As soon as the topic changed, he asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I have something unclear in my mind. I wonder if you can help me clear up my confusion?"
Liu Bian nodded and signaled Cao Cao to continue.
After bowing to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Cao Cao poured out all the doubts in his heart.
"Early this morning, I received a letter from Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai County. Yuan Shao sent people to search the two palaces in the north and south, but the two venerables were nowhere to be seen, so he thought something bad had happened."
"But I never thought that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother would appear here, so I apologize for the offence. May I ask how the two venerables left Luoyang City?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Before Liu Bian could speak, his mother, Queen Mother He, lightly covered her lips with her right hand and laughed softly, full of grace and dignity.
"Cao Qing might as well think carefully about what you encountered on the road when you left Luoyang City, and what changes happened in the team, then you will know the truth."
Cao Cao was stunned.
Then he narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.
Encounters on the road...
carriage!
Cao Cao woke up suddenly, his eyes that had been narrowed just now suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He raised his head to look at the emperor and the queen mother, and then turned to look at his son standing behind him, as tall and tall as a pine tree.
After all this.
Cao Cao just realized it and said with slightly trembling lips: "Could it be the four carriages that merged into the team when passing between Yanshi County and Gong County?"
The Queen Mother nodded happily.
There was still a kind smile on his face, and he said in a gentle voice: "I am not afraid of General Cao's jokes. At that time, I, the emperor, the princess, and my niece-in-law were in the carriage."
"It was by following the large army of the Cao family that we were able to arrive at Dingtao County from Luoyang without incident and live in seclusion here."
Speaking of which.
Queen Mother He paused for a moment.
Then he glanced at Cao Ang, who was still honest, and a meaningful look flashed in his beautiful eyes.
Then he continued: "Speaking of which, I have to thank General Cao. If it weren't for your son's helping hand at the critical moment, he would rescue my mother, son and others from the deep palace in Luoyang and place them in the carriage leaving Beijing."
"I'm afraid everything will go as Yuan Shao deduced. I and the emperor died in Dong Zhuo's hands and turned into a few ghosts in the mass graves outside the city."
"Your father and son are indeed loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty!"
…
Although when thinking about the carriage.
Cao Cao realized that his son's handiwork must be involved.
But when they heard the Queen Mother admit with her own ears that it was Cao Ang who rescued them from Luoyang City.
He still couldn't help but be stunned by it!
He looked back again at Cao Ang, who was standing behind him with his hands behind his back, a plain smile on his face.
Cao Cao was amazed in his heart!
Under Dong Zhuo's heavy control, he took huge risks and sent several living people out without being noticed by Dong Zhuo afterwards.
This matter is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Just thinking about it, Cao Cao felt a little numb and his whole body was horrified.
At least let him do it. He really couldn't think of any way to achieve this result.
It is true that Cao Ang had contacts with Dong Zhuo.
According to his son's previous statement, the soldiers, horses, red rabbits, and even the official position of Colonel Huben were all deceived from Dong Zhuo.
This at least shows that the two have a certain degree of friendship.
But this superficial friendship was not enough to be able to save the lives of several venerables.
Dong Zhuo must be on tight guard!
Therefore, Cao Ang could only take the route of secretly rescuing and secretly sending Luoyang City out of Luoyang City, which was feasible.
"well!"
Thinking about this.
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.
He simply couldn't imagine it.
How much preparation, effort and thought went into this rescue operation for my precious son.
I am afraid that I have been thinking and conceiving day and night. I am afraid that when I am lying in bed at night, I am thinking about how to formulate a proper plan to rescue several venerables.
When he thought of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little sad. His son had done too many things for the Han Dynasty and for the common people in the world.
What about yourself?
Just leisurely all day long.
He knows nothing, has no political sensitivity at all, and has completely lost his vigilance against danger.
Ashamed, ashamed!
Who am I, Cao Cao, a loyal member of the Han Dynasty?
My son Cao Ang is the backbone of the Han Dynasty!
…
After a while of thoughts swirling in my mind.
Cao Cao finally calmed down.
He forced a smile on his face.
Then he raised his hands to the Queen Mother and the Emperor and said, "When your Majesty is in danger, you will risk your life to save him at all costs. This is our duty as ministers."
"Actually, I am very lucky at this moment. If Quanzi hadn't intervened and rescued you from Luoyang and brought you here, I'm afraid I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!"
After some heartfelt words.
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is obviously even better.
Stayed here for quite some time.
It wasn't until Cao Cao saw the Emperor Liu Bian that his eyes were a little tired at this moment that he wisely said goodbye.
Wait until you get out of the small courtyard.
Cao Cao grabbed Cao Ang and asked abruptly.
"Ang'er, how many things did you do in Luoyang City without telling your father?"
