"Master, you go to the temple to take shelter from the rain first, and I'll put the horses away first."
After the coachman finished speaking, he led the carriage to the half-collapsed side house next to the temple.
It was raining heavily outside. It was mid-June now, and the rain dissipated a lot of the heat.
It was getting dark and it was raining, making it difficult to travel, so they might have to spend the night here.
The coachman lifted the dry food from the carriage, and Qin Sen and Yuanyuan were gathering discarded wood and straw from the temple.
The four of them had a simple dinner, boiled some hot water, and slept on the floor.
…………
In the middle of the night, several people were awakened by the sound of many horse hooves running, accompanied by the sound of swords clashing.
Yunfei was shocked, and quickly woke everyone up in a low voice, "Don't make any noise, let's find a place to hide! The person who comes here is not malicious."
Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, and the shouts of death outside were scary.
Yuanyuan held her father's broad, slightly rough hand tightly, her heart pounding.
When everyone came to the corner, there were three large incense burners, which were empty in the middle and had a spire-like top.
Yunfei picked up Yuanyuan and put her inside, then asked Qin Sen and the groom to enter the remaining incense burner...
"Lie down, just be a little dirty. You stay here and don't make any noise. I'll go out and take a look."
"Brother-in-law!" Qin Sen didn't agree, "You come here to hide, I'll go..."
"You're stupid! Let's not talk about your brother-in-law. I am older and more experienced than you. I can also kung fu. What can you do?"
Qin Sen was speechless and could only lie silently at the bottom of the incense burner, curling up his hands and feet.
Yunfei took advantage of the cover of the night and the sound of rain to sneak around the corner of the temple.
I saw a group of men in black attacking four people in the rain.
Among the four people, there were two men, one woman, and a boy about seven or eight years old.
"Zhao Qian! Take the little master and leave quickly!!"
The woman dressed as a female guard clenched her teeth, hugged the child to her chest, jumped on a horse and galloped away.
"Grandpa Butler!!"
The two men left behind resisted the five people with their own strength. They were still unprepared, and two men in black chased them.
…………
Zhao Qian? This name sounds so familiar.
Suddenly Yunfei remembered that it was Cao Guanjia and others he met in the cave before, so the child who was taken away was Cao Jiayun?
I don’t know where they are from...why are they so miserable every time they meet?
We can only hope that they can save the day, although it is unlikely.
As the two groups fought, the winner was quickly determined.
The young man is dead!
Butler Cao put his sword on the ground and knelt half down, with the bodies of the five men in black beside him.
Yunfei walked out, keeping a certain distance, and threw the two bottles of medicine.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother... It's just that my heart and lungs were shattered and I'm hopeless!"
"farewell."
"Your voice is so familiar..." Butler Cao managed to open his eyes and look at the blurry figure in front of him.
It happened that a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and that moment of light allowed him to see clearly the appearance of the person in front of him.
"Is it...Brother Yao? I never thought that we would have the fate to meet each other in this life! Haha...it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive..."
Butler Cao was really happy. After he returned home, he asked people to inquire about the family, but all he got was that no such person could be found.
Now that I see that they are still fine and have not been washed away by the flood, I feel less guilty.
"Steward Cao, hold on! I have a carriage and I will take you to the doctor." Seeing his old friend acting like this, Yun Fei lowered his guard a little.
He walked over and tried to help Butler Cao up who was all wet.
Butler Cao shook his head, his breath a little weak, "Brother Yao, don't bother."
Looking at his hand that had been covering his waist, Yunfei was speechless for a moment.
"My young lady is the only child of the General's Mansion! Brother Yao, I beg you! If you meet them, help them!"
Poor my general and his wife, they have died in the cold north! A group of us escorted the young lady back to Kyoto with difficulty.
All the guards along the way have died. Now I have to go down to the underworld to see my general! Please…”
Before he finished speaking, Butler Cao suddenly fell to the ground in pain, his lips trembling, but he could no longer speak.
In less than a moment, he died with eyes wide open and breathless...
Yunfei sighed, stretched out his hand to close his eyes, searched for things on his body, and then went back to the ruined temple to call out the three of them.
"Let's go! It's not safe here."
"Okay, I will go and lead the carriage now."
Afraid that the two men in black could not catch up to Zhao Qian, she chose to turn back. Or they have companions.
So they drove the carriage very fast.
Yunfei thought about what Butler Cao said before he died, and was secretly in a trance.
………
There was only one general named Cao in Donglin's court.
That is General Cao Ding, who has been a veteran of three dynasties. He has been a soldier all his life, stationed in the north all year round, and has fought countless victorious battles.
It can be said that Donglin's stability is at least largely due to the Cao family.
General Cao Ding had five sons and one daughter in his life.
The daughter died young, and the four previous sons died in battle before they were married! By the time of my fifth child, I finally got married and had a child.
The father and son took their respective wives and stayed in that bitter cold place all year round. They were not allowed to return to the capital without an edict.
And the only Miaomiao in the whole family, the daughter of the Cao family, is said to be in poor health and has never appeared in front of others.
No one knows where the fifth master of the Cao family sent his child.
Some people say that in the palace, he was used as a hostage to control the Cao family. After all, the Cao family has great military power. And win the hearts of the people.
Some people also say that in order to protect her, she hid in the farmhouse.
Others speculated that he might be in poor health and stay in a villa to recuperate.
All in all, no one has ever seen the daughter of the Cao family, and Fifth Master Cao protected her very well.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that Cao Jiayun is that daughter.
I lived in Tianqi Kingdom when I was a child. I don’t know where I have been these past few years.
They all hid their children in enemy countries. No wonder no one found them.
I heard that the wife of Mr. Cao Wu was an orphan. She only rose to power because she saved Mr. Cao Wu.
It is estimated that this is just an external statement to protect Mrs. Cao Wu.
…………
Yes, yes, yes~~
"drive!"
The horses trampled on the mud and water splashed everywhere, and suddenly the carriage gave a huge bump, almost knocking them out.
"What happened?"
"Sir, the carriage got stuck in the mud. I'm afraid we have to get down and move it together."
Yunfei and Qin Sen got off the carriage to help push it, while Yuanyuan was still in the carriage.
"One, two, three! Push..."
"My lord! My lord, your strength is too great!" the coachman said with admiration.
I thought that even the three of them couldn't push it out together, but I didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Haha, my brother-in-law is born with great strength." Qin Sen expressed his pride.
I need to go out for a while, so I’ll update tomorrow –_– Good night.
