Chapter 77: Pretending to be guilty and causing disaster
"Captain Dian, can you do something for me?" Lu Yu's eyes were fixed and he immediately ordered...
"What's the matter?" Dian Wei asked, cupping his fists.
In fact, despite Dian Wei Chang's ferocious demeanor... he is a very thin-skinned person, and he is not happy in his heart. He received two thousand gold from Master Lu Yu and became the captain of Longxiaoying, but in his opinion, he has nothing.
To do it, let alone submit a certificate of merit, even if it is a merit, it is not considered a piece of work!
I feel a little uncomfortable, but now...when I heard Lu Yu's dispatch, I was eager to try it.
"I will send you more than ten knights. You lead them to secretly sneak into Langya County, Xuzhou, and escort Mr. Cao's motorcade along the way..."
Lu Yu's words came out one after another.
This matter for Cao Song is difficult to handle. It is impossible for a large number of soldiers to pour into Xuzhou to protect him along the way. A small number of elite escorts may not be able to protect him.
Based on this calculation, Dian Wei is a perfect candidate. As long as his weapons are not stolen, it won't be a big problem to defeat one or two hundred people.
As for what Zhang Kai said, Dian Wei can probably fight ten of them!
"Don't worry, young master, Dian Wei will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Dian Wei agreed, and Cao Xiu went to fetch good horses for him. After a while, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. Under the leadership of Dian Wei, more than ten horses roared away and disappeared into the official road.
the end of.
call…
Lu Yu took a long breath and murmured in his heart. "Cao Song, Cao Song, your life is related to the changing situation. I hope...Dian Wei can catch up."
Worrying, Lu Yu still felt a little bit worried.
As the saying goes - people decide what to do and what to do depends on God!
…
…
Xuzhou, Langya County.
Cao Song's motorcade has been traveling for a day, and there are more than a hundred carriages filled with gold, silver and jewelry. It's so majestic!
Along the way, General Zhang Kai and his troops were escorted by Tao Qian. It seemed that the journey was very comfortable, and they were about to leave the boundary of Langya County.
Now the whole cavalry team is resting at the foot of the mountain, planning to set off again in an hour. General Zhang Kai seems to be quite enthusiastic along the way, always asking questions about Cao Song, and he seems to be quite trustworthy.
But just at the rest stall...Cao Ren led five or six knights to come over panting and dusty...
On this trip, they traveled 700 miles in a hurry, and each of them lost two horses to death before they arrived. They looked very tired!
Seeing hundreds of carts of gold, silver, jade and silk ready to go, Cao Ren swallowed subconsciously and realized more and more the four words "It's a crime to have a treasure" mentioned in Lu Yu's mouth... This "bi" is really rich and can rival the country.
!
…
"Old Master, listen to me...if you don't show your nakedness when you go out, you will lose money if you do so. Now, the old master has more than a hundred carts of gold, silver and jade, and he will be coveted by villains..."
This is the countless time Cao Ren has tried hard to dissuade him. "Besides, my eldest brother has given me countless warnings. It's a crime to have a jade in your hands. It's a crime to have a jade in your hands..."
Hmm…it’s a crime to possess a jade?
Cao Song paused for a moment, thinking for a moment, but soon he shook his head. "Meng De is still too careful. Isn't that... Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian sent a general to escort him along the way? Who dares to rob me of this property? This
Wouldn't he go against Tao Xuzhou?"
"Besides, Tao Qian and I used to be officials in the same court, so we were colleagues... Now, he wants to be on good terms with my son, how dare he send someone to kidnap me?"
The words came out of my mouth...
"That's right, that's right." Cao De on the side nodded repeatedly. He is Cao Song's second son and Cao Cao's younger brother. He has guarded thousands of wealth since he was a child. If it is true as Cao Ren said, he would not be willing to give up this wealth.
Besides, it’s a crime to think ahead and look back just because someone is pregnant with a treasure... This is not the Cao family’s style of doing things. All in all, Cao De feels that his eldest brother is making a mountain out of a molehill this time...
"Old Master, Mr. De, now is not the time to be impulsive. My eldest brother gave up on gold and silver and went to Yanzhou alone. Of course he has his reasons!" Cao Ren was still trying to persuade...
Cao Song rolled his eyes. As an old man, he always hesitates.
However, Cao De's tone was particularly firm. "Zixiao... do you know? How much gold and silver do we have in our fleet? How much jewelry? How much food can be replaced by selling these?"
Cao De said seriously. "You must not know that our more than one hundred carts of gold and silver are enough to exchange for hundreds of thousands of stones of grain. How can we just give up? Besides... I am the only one who proposed this plan to my elder brother.
He's a young master? How can he have any knowledge if he's not a 'Yinlin'? How can he take what he says seriously? This statement of 'It's a crime to have a treasure' is nothing more than wishful thinking and delusion!"
What Cao De said was so reasonable that Cao Ren didn't know how to refute it for a while...
Cao Ren felt a little embarrassed...
It seems...it doesn’t make sense!
Talking about this, I guess the old man Cao Song and Mr. Cao De were determined to sail to Yanzhou according to the original plan!
But…
Cao Ren frowned and muttered secretly in his heart, military orders cannot be violated, let alone brother's orders. Cao Ren immediately dragged the old man Cao Song onto his horse...
"Zixiao, you...what are you doing?" Cao Song was shocked...
"Zixiao, let Aweng down quickly. Why do you and your eldest brother believe the words of a ten-year-old boy but not me?"
Cao De stopped in front of Cao Ren's horse.
"I don't care what anyone says!" Cao Ren's tone became serious. "But what my eldest brother has ordered, even if it offends the old man, I, Cao Ren, will do the same! Mr. Cao can't go with the convoy!"
The words are certain and beyond doubt...
Cao Ren is like this, as long as he is the eldest brother, he will obey it unconditionally...
"De'er, that's all, let's listen to your son Xiao." Cao Song could not compromise, "Zixiao and I will ride ahead and leave these convoys to you. You don't need to worry. Miao Cai has already led the troops.
We will meet you at the Yanzhou border, and General Tao Qian will escort our convoy along the way!"
At this point, Cao Song turned to Cao Ren and asked, "Zixiao, I will accompany you to Yanzhou first. How about we wait for my De'er's motorcade at the border?"
"It couldn't be better!" Cao Ren agreed and prepared to take Cao Song away...
But at this moment...
Wow, next to the big tent at the foot of the mountain, fire suddenly broke out on all sides...Countless fire arrows burst out from all directions, and in an instant...more than a dozen servants of the Cao Mansion were hit by arrows and died...
"There are assassins..."
Xuzhou General Zhang Kai roared loudly, then drew his sword and pierced the belly of the housekeeper of Cao Mansion!
The eyes of the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion were round and huge, and he could not close his eyes even before death...
It was clear that General Zhang Kai was shouting that there were assassins, so why did he strike at him with a knife? They were brothers chatting freely one moment, but he pulled out a sharp saber the next!
Thump…thump…
Countless servants and family members of the Cao Mansion fell in a pool of blood. The whole scene was eerie and terrifying... It was like a soul-burial song leading to hell was playing in this valley.
At this moment, Cao Song, Cao De... and even Cao Ren, they all looked stupid!
Especially Cao De, looking at the fire around him and listening to the desperate wail, he...his legs went weak, and a ray of unknown liquid instantly wet his crotch!
Immediately afterwards, there was a "snap" and he fell to the ground. Only then... did he realize that... the prediction of the ten-year-old boy and the instructions of his eldest brother Cao Cao were not groundless.
The story of "catastrophic disaster" caused by "the crime of holding a jade" is now unfolding.
