Chapter 9 Confusion(1/2)
In the middle of winter, snowflakes were floating above Luoyang.
This is the first time it has snowed since winter, and it has been covered with silver for the majestic Luoyang City.
Ding Chen and Gao Shun walked out of the gate of Luoyang Prison, raised their heads, looked at the snowflakes flying in the air, and took a strong breath of the cold air.
This air is really comfortable!
Calculate the time, Ding Chen stayed in prison for half a month.
Gao Shun was even more miserable. He lived in the cold, humid and rotten cell for almost half a year.
He even closed his eyes and showed an intoxication.
However, Ding Chen could see clearly that a light of water flashed across Gao Shun's eyes.
"Let's go!"
“Where to go?”
Ding Chen looked at Gao Shun in confusion and said, "Go home with me."
"Go home with you?"
"Nonsense, have you not heard it? Li Ru said just now that you have been enlisted as Nangong Weicheng. If you want to do things under my hands in the future, you will naturally have to follow me. Besides, I remember you said that you no longer have a home in Luoyang."
A trace of gloom flashed in Gao Shun's eyes, and he glanced at Ding Chen, but did not refute.
After more than ten days of prison life, Ding Chen knew a lot about Gao Shun's life experience.
This is a poor child, and both parents died.
Later, he was appreciated by Jian Shuo, married his wife and started a family, and had a son named Gao Xing. However, after Jian Shuo was killed and Gao Shun was arrested, his wife was worried about being implicated, so she fled to Luoyang with her son, and now she is missing.
This war is in chaos...
I dare not think about some things, and thinking about them will make people even more sad!
Therefore, after Gao Shun was released from prison, he was also homeless.
Seeing that he was a little depressed, Ding Chen reached out and patted his arm, "Don't think about it all, let's go back and settle down first. To make achievements in the future, it will be famous all over the world. My sister-in-law will definitely come to you and will be reunited with the family."
Make achievements and become famous all over the world?
These eight words do sound beautiful, but they are actually not very useful to Gao Shun.
He has been a brilliant person! Thinking back to the time when he was under Jian Shuo's sect, although he was just a goalkeeper, he was incredible.
Now that I have experienced half a year of life in a prisoner, I can see many things.
So, after a brief depression, he adjusted his mood and smiled and said, "I'll go to your house first."
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
The snow began to get bigger.
The wind swept and snowflakes, flying all over the sky, shrouding the majestic Luoyang City in the wind and snow...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cao Mansion is located on the banks of Luoshui. Although it is not big, the scenery is good.
The Cao family is not a prominent family, but also a family of officials.
Cao Cao's father Cao Song was even more a wealthy person. So after Cao Cao came to Luoyang for the second time, he bought a house on the banks of Luoshui.
Ding Chen and Gao Shun braved the wind and snow to the outside of the Cao Mansion. They were about to go up and knock on the door, but were stopped by soldiers.
"Who are you waiting for?"
The young player in the lead looked not very old last year and his face was a little tender.
He shouted loudly, which made Ding Chen stunned, and said, "It's just that I should ask you in my house."
"Your home?"
The young player immediately showed a look of vigilance, held the handle of the knife around his waist with one hand, and stared at Ding Chen even more.
The wind and snow were very strong, but the young general didn't blink.
He sternly said, "Who are you?"
Gao Shun couldn't help but say, "Ziyang, why did you get to the door of your house but can't enter? Could it be that you found the wrong person?"
His words were ridiculous.
Ding Chen glared at him and said in a deep voice: "My name is Ding Chen, I was imprisoned in Luoyang Prison before.
Today, the court guard Li Ru ordered me to be released and let me go home to rest, and then go to report to Marquis Wen... But why are you guarding my doorstep? What is the purpose of it?"
"You are Ding Chen?"
The young general looked at Ding Chen's eyes and his eyes fell on Gao Shun again.
"My name is Gao Shun, and I met Ziyang in Luoyang Prison. Li Zhonglang appointed Ziyang as the Nangong Guardian Order, so he came back to rest."
The vigilance in the young general's eyes slowed down a little.
He took a step back, waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to come over, and whispered a few words in the soldiers' ears. He saw the soldiers turn around, come outside the gate of Cao Mansion, grab the door knocker, and knock on the door. At the same time, the young general did not relax and stared at Ding Chen and the others.
"Are you sent by General Wen Yuan?"
“That’s right.”
When the young general heard Ding Chen mention Zhang Liao, his vigilance weakened by two points. "General Zhang ordered the last general to guard here to prevent anyone from coming to cause trouble."
"What's your name?"
"Me?" the young general hesitated and said, "My name is Jia Qu."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Ding Chen bowed to him, which also made Jia Qu's attitude much more friendly.
At this time, someone stumbled out of the gate of Cao Mansion. She walked out of the gate and saw Ding Chen, she couldn't help but scream, rushed down the steps, and in the blink of an eye, she came to Ding Chen.
"Juro, you're back!"
Warmth was revealed in Ding Chen's eyes.
He stepped forward, hugged the person coming, and whispered: "Sister, I'm back."
The person who came was Ding Chen's sister, Cao Cao's wife, and Mrs. Ding.
And behind the gate, there was a boy standing. When he saw Ding Chen, he also grinned and showed a bright smile.
Seeing this, Jia Qu confirmed Ding Chen's identity.
He waited for Mrs. Ding to calm down before he stepped forward and said, "Madam, since Mr. Ding is back, my mission will be completed.
Madam, please go back to the house quickly. I will be waiting outside to protect me. If you have any questions, please send someone to inform me."
"Jun Jia, how can this be done?
It’s so strong that you should go to the mansion. Before, Juro was not here, and Nu Yifu was unable to take charge. Now that he is back, you will not be able to live in the mansion, so there will be no such taboos. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease when you are outside?"
Mrs. Ding quickly stabilized her mood and invited her again and again.
The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier. Seeing this, Jia Qu stopped insisting and led his soldiers into Cao's mansion and settled in the wing room of the front yard.
Mrs. Ding took Ding Chen's hand and walked into the mansion.
Seeing the boy, Ding Chen patted his shoulders for fear of him and said softly: "And, thanks to you who are protecting your mother at home these days."
Cao Ang thrust his chest, showing a look of pride.
"Uncle, this is the duty of Ang."
Seeing that look like he was a little adult, Mrs. Ding and Ding Chen both laughed!
The Cao Mansion has not changed much, but the slave has become a stranger.
In the wing room of the back house, Ding Chen and Gao Shun sat down, while Mrs. Ding ordered people to boil water and prepare meals at the same time.
"After you leave, thanks to General Zhang.
At first, Xiliang soldiers came to cause trouble, but they were all driven away by General Zhang. Later, General Zhang sent these slaves and my mother was not too scared. It was just because there were many female relatives in this family and Ang was young, so that Jia Jun refused to live in and took people outside to protect him. Thanks to his care, my mother and son were considered safe."
Mrs. Ding told Ding Chen briefly and clearly about the changes in the family.
This also increased Ding Chen's inner liking for Zhang Liao a lot.
He introduced Gao Shun to Mrs. Ding and said clearly that Gao Shun would temporarily live in the mansion.
Of course, Mrs. Ding would not object to this. She agreed happily, then changed her mind and said softly: "Juror, are you okay in prison?
I wanted to visit you, but I couldn't go out.
If General Zhang hadn't told me that everything was fine in prison, Ang and I were at home, I would have been worried about death..."
Ding Chen said: "General Zhang is a kind gentleman, and he will repay this kindness sooner or later."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Shun.
Mrs. Ding immediately understood and said to Gao Shun: "Uncle Gao, the water outside has been boiled. Uncle might as well go to wash first, and it will be time to have enough food later."
