"Xingba is new here, how can he not have a place to stay?"
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
Gan Ning was a little moved when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ling had already considered the issue of his own residence in advance.
"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, I'd still like to thank Mr. Zixiu for his generous donation."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
I was obviously forced by you, teacher!
Cao Ang was slandering in his heart, but on the surface he was pretending to be generous, waving his hands and saying,
"General Xingba, don't worry, it's just a house. Your skills are so great, my father will definitely put them to great use when the time comes!"
"Young Master is overly praised."
Gan Ning smiled modestly and then talked about Huang Zhong who had just left.
"That old general Huang's skills are not inferior to mine."
"I didn't expect that Liu Biao would have such an outstanding general, but why haven't I heard of him before?"
Liu Biao was ignorant of people, so although Huang Zhong was brave, he had to be controlled by Liu Pan.
This led to the fact that he had never been famous, and even Gan Ning, who worked under Liu Biao, had never heard of his name.
"It would be great if we could recruit him too."
Cao Ang sighed.
Yang Ling chuckled.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zixiu, we will meet him again soon."
"There may be hope then, so we can recruit him."
Cao Ang was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Then the student will just wait for the good news!"
…
Let’s talk about Huang Zhong.
He failed to defeat Gan Ning and could only return to Xiangyang with his troops.
Huang Mansion.
Huang Chengyan, Cai Yu's sister and Cai Yu were chatting in the lobby.
Suddenly seeing Huang Zhong striding in, the three of them were stunned.
"Brother Han Sheng, where is Yueying?"
Huang Chengyan stood up and said eagerly.
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said,
"My brother is incompetent and failed to bring Yueying's niece back."
As he spoke, he told the three people the whole story.
After hearing the whole process, Huang Chengyan and his wife were both stunned.
Cai Yu on the side, her red lips slightly raised, felt happy in her heart.
"What should we do? Brother-in-law, sister, how about I go find Zhou Mu for help?"
Cai Yu said hypocritically.
"forget it."
Huang Chengyan sighed dejectedly,
"It's not worth asking Zhou Mu for help with such a trivial matter. Besides, I'm afraid it's too late now."
"Forget it, since Yueying insists on doing this, no matter good or bad, it is her destiny."
Even Mrs. Cai, who felt sorry for her daughter, shed tears and shook her head.
After Cai Yu and Huang Zhong comforted Huang Chengyan and his wife, Huang Chengyan reluctantly cheered up and said,
"The matter has come to an end. Thank you both for your help. I have to get up and go to Zhuge Kongming to cancel the engagement between the two families."
"That's fine, brother-in-law and sister, please help yourself."
Cai Yu stretched, stood up and walked away.
After Huang Chengyan said goodbye to Huang Zhong, he took several servants and headed towards Zhuge Xuan's mansion without stopping.
After Yang Ling burned down the thatched cottage a few days ago, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to return to his uncle's place to live temporarily.
When he heard the news that Huang Chengyan was visiting, he happily came out to meet him.
"I met my father-in-law!"
He smiled and saluted.
But Huang Chengyan looked strange, hesitated for a moment and said,
"Kong Ming, from today on, don't call me father-in-law anymore."
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
"What does father-in-law mean by this?"
"Let's break the engagement between our two families!"
Huang Chengyan sighed,
"I will send someone tomorrow to return your family's betrothal gift in full."
These words were no less than a bolt from the blue, and Zhuge Liang was instantly stunned!
"This...why is this? Could it be that Liang did something wrong?"
The Zhuge family was originally considered a prominent family in Langya County.
It's a pity that both of Zhuge Liang's parents died when he was young, and his eldest brother Zhuge Jin went to Jiangdong to study again.
In the end, he had no choice but to follow his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Jingzhou.
He is not a young man and has little property, so getting married is not an easy task.
Just at this time, Huang Chengyan took the initiative to propose marriage.
He was a famous scholar in Jingzhou and was quite prestigious in the local area. He was also brother-in-law to Liu Biao.
Zhuge Liang naturally had no reason to refuse.
But he never expected that Huang Chengyan would come to his door today and want to cancel the engagement again!
"It's actually not your fault, it's all our Huang family's fault."
Huang Chengyan felt quite guilty.
He is still very optimistic about this diligent, studious and talented young man.
But I didn't expect this to happen.
Zhuge Liang is not an ordinary person after all.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said sincerely,
"My uncle has something he can't tell you, but you can just tell him."
"Forget it, I can't blame you for this."
Huang Chengyan sighed again and told Zhuge Liang that Huang Yueying left a letter and went to Xudu with Cao Cao's envoy.
"What?"
Zhuge Liang's expression changed and he asked,
"Uncle, that Cao Cao's envoy...is named Chen Jinnan?!"
"You know him too?"
Huang Chengyan gave him a strange look.
"It's indeed him!"
Zhuge Liang felt that his head was suddenly green!
"Kong Ming has seen this person?"
"Of course! He went to visit me not long ago. When I didn't see him, he set fire to my thatched cottage and almost burned me alive!"
"Ah? This is happening!"
Huang Chengyan was shocked.
Zhuge Liang's lips were tightly closed, and his eyes almost burst into flames.
Forgiveness, he was always calm, but he was also livid with anger.
From this point of view, this guy named Chen Jinnan must have heard that he and Huang Yueying were engaged, so he took Huang Yueying away by force, right?
This guy is too vindictive!
I just don’t want to see him, so he just burns down the thatched cottage and snatches away his fiancée!
From today on, you and I will be inseparable!
Seeing Zhuge Liang's silence, Huang Chengyan had no choice but to say,
"Kong Ming, it's uncle who is sorry for you!"
He cupped his hands and turned to leave.
…
Now Zhang Xiu has to rely on Liu Biao to survive in Nanyang.
Therefore, Yang Ling and his party, holding Liu Biao's official documents, successfully passed the Nanyang boundary and returned to Ye County.
As soon as Yang Ling entered the county government office, he heard an excited voice,
"Brother!"
He took a closer look and saw Xu Chu, who was as strong as a mountain, strode over and picked him up directly!
"While you were gone, I was almost suffocated!"
"Easy, gentle! Zhongkang, put me down quickly!"
Yang Ling was almost knocked apart by him and quickly called him to stop.
"Zhongkang, don't be rude to eldest brother!"
Zhao Yun, who was following Xu Chu, also quickly spoke to dissuade him.
Xu Chu grinned and then let go of his hand.
The three brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Ling began to introduce Gan Ning and Huang Yueying.
"This is General Gan Ning and Gan Xingba. His bravery is not inferior to the two of you."
"oh?"
Xu Chu looked Gan Ning up and down and said with a smile,
"If there is a chance, Xingba, let's have a good discussion!"
