Yang Huai's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble.
He and Gao Pei were both young generals promoted by Liu Yan and won Liu Yan's trust. Originally, Liu Yan had promised their family members to accompany the army to garrison Jiameng Pass, but the conditions at Jiameng Pass were far inferior to those in Shu County.
, so both of them unanimously left their families in Chengdu. After Chengdu was captured by Liu Xin, they dedicated Jiameng Pass to Zhang Lu with almost no hesitation. As Liu Yan's cronies, they naturally knew about Liu Yan's relationship with ghosts.
In their eyes, Zhang Lu was Liu Yan's stepson due to the relationship between his mother and Mrs. Zhang. After the fall of Chengdu, Zhang Lu became the young master in their minds. It was only natural that he took Jiameng Pass and defected to Zhang Lu.
But in this way, their family members left in Chengdu fell into the hands of Liu Xin. Liu Xin once used their family members as bargaining chips and sent people to negotiate with them, hoping that they would surrender, but they were rejected three consecutive times.
, the last time they even cut off the envoy’s head and returned it to Liu Xin. From that point on, they never heard from their family members again.
This old man has been with him for many years and has seen his wife and children. Since he said that his wife and children are back, there can be no mistake. Yang Huai couldn't help but stand up. He didn't care too much about his wife. After all, he had
With his current status, why worry about not having a woman? The day after he and Gao Pei surrendered to Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu ordered four beauties to be sent to him. However, those two children were his own flesh and blood.
He already had no hope for their lives, and now that they suddenly appeared in front of him, how could Yang Huai remain unmoved?
Yang Huai ran out staggeringly, and sure enough he saw a young woman with two children standing outside the hall. Yang Huai recognized at a glance that it was his married wife, nodded to her, and couldn't wait to put the two of them together.
He took the child into his arms. It took him a long time before he asked with tears in his eyes: "Madam, how did you come back?"
Yang Huai's wife's surname was Tian, and she also came from a wealthy family in Chengdu. Because of Yang Huai's involvement, the whole family has been confiscated by Liu Xin.
Tian lamented and talked about her tragic experience. When she was first escorted to Xiangyang, she was fine. In addition to not having personal freedom, she had no shortage of food and clothing, and her two children were always with her. However, the good times
Not long after, three months later, several people suddenly came and dragged her out without any explanation and sent her to a place called Jiaofangsi.
She didn't know what Jiaofangsi was at first, but she understood the next day that it was an official place to train prostitutes. Also sent to Jiaofangsi with her were Gao Pei's wife and sister, as well as two families
Some young women among them. Later, she learned that all this was because her husband refused Liu Xin's recruitment. After Liu Xin became furious, he sent them all to the Jiaofang Division to make them suffer humiliation.
In fact, they were also unlucky. If it had been a year or two in the morning, Liu Xin would not have done such a thing no matter how angry she was. However, in this era, it has been a long time, she has become more powerful, and she is affected by the things around her.
Some dark things gradually emerged from the depths of Xin's thoughts, and he came up with such a way to vent his anger. However, Ma Yun didn't know about his establishment of the Jiaofang Division, otherwise she would not have agreed to this in any case.
made.
Tian was trained in the Jiaofang Division for three months. The humiliation she suffered during this period was so humiliating that she could hardly talk about it. Even now, she is often awakened from her sleep. In the first month of last year, she was arranged to receive guests, until she met her husband half a year ago.
It was Shopkeeper Song that her fate changed. After a night of romance, Shopkeeper Song seemed to be particularly satisfied with her, so he spent a lot of money to redeem her. Mrs. Tian lived in Shopkeeper Song's house, and she was well clothed and well-fed.
She often missed her two children, so she had no choice but to use some gentle methods on Shopkeeper Song to make him happy. She also used connections and found ways to redeem the two children. Of course, she had this experience.
I won't tell Yang Huai.
According to Tian, the day after she was assigned to the Jiaofang Division, she met Shopkeeper Song. When Shopkeeper Song heard that she was Yang Huai's wife, he used his brains to redeem her and give her
The two children also came out and wanted to exchange a large amount of money with Yang Huai, so they went through all the troubles to bring her here.
Gao Pei had already followed him out and couldn't help but ask: "Madam, I wonder if you know the whereabouts of my wife and sister."
Mr. Tian shook his head and said, "We met once when we first entered the church. Later I heard that they were all bought by a brothel and there has been no news about them since."
In fact, Tian knew very well that Gao Pei's wife and sister were also ransomed by a businessman, but Tian could not tell them their whereabouts, because Tian not only received the embarrassing training with them in Jiaofangsi,
He also served the same guest as Gao Pei's wife. If his whereabouts were revealed, if Gao Pei also managed to bring them back, all the lies he had just told would be exposed. For the sake of his future, he had no choice but to apologize.
They are.
In fact, it was such a coincidence that two people were redeemed by merchants at the same time. All this was arranged by Liu Xin. In order to reduce the casualties caused by attacking Jiameng Pass, Liu Xin started operating as early as a year ago.
Let the soldiers of the special forces disguise themselves, take a detour into Hanzhong in batches, and then slowly come to Jiameng Pass to lurk. Some of these people do small business, some do odd jobs for others, and some open shops. Of course, they are indispensable.
There are several craftsmen, and they all have different trades in Jiameng Pass. They are lurking, but how to inform them of the specific launch time has become a problem.
At this moment, Liu Xin thought of the families of Yang Huai and Gao Pei. He asked three phantom spies who had never been on a mission to pretend to be businessmen and ransom them into their homes. He found an opportunity to deliberately reveal that he already knew
Their identities were used to test their reactions. As a result, Gao Pei's wife and sister saw that they now had no worries about food and clothing, which was much better than the days of giving birth to ripe plums every day in Jiaofangsi, so they were content with the status quo. Only Tian,
First, she missed her children. After Shopkeeper Song helped her get them back, she missed her husband again and wanted to send her children back to her husband. This was exactly what Shopkeeper Song wanted, and after going through "difficulties and twists" along the way
", and finally escorted their mother and son safely to Jiameng Pass. Today Ergouzi announced on the road that everyone in the city knew that Mr. Yang's family members had come to Jiameng Pass, and that these were Liu Xin and the lurking special forces soldiers.
A signal to set the time for action.
After listening to Tian's cry, Yang Huai had calmed down from the initial surprise and excitement. Although his wife was not a beautiful woman, she was quite pretty. How could Shopkeeper Song be so kind and not greedy?
Her beauty was nothing more than that, and he was willing to risk beheading her to return her to him. How could anything be so cheap in the world?
Yang Huai had a calm expression on his face, and gently let go of the children in his arms, and said: "Come here, take Madam and the others down to rest, and then invite Shopkeeper Song here. I want to thank you in person!"
As soon as Gao Pei saw Shopkeeper Song come in, he took the initiative to greet him, raised his hands and said: "Shopkeeper Song, I believe you are also a well-known figure in Xiangyang. It is a great achievement to help rescue Mrs. Sister-in-law this time, haha, haha,
We will get closer and closer soon."
Yang Huai understood his intention of trying to get close to Shopkeeper Song. He wanted to find his family through Shopkeeper Song. Yang Huai sneered secretly and had already made murderous intentions! It was good that Shopkeeper Song had rescued his wife and children, but his
His wife has been in his hands for such a long time, who knows what will happen. If he spreads the word and tells him how to meet someone, this person's life will not be spared no matter what. So shopkeeper Song didn't wait for Gao Pei's words, but he took the initiative to greet him and said:
"Shopkeeper Song, thank you so much for helping me so much. I will never treat you badly. If you have any requests, just ask!"
Although shopkeeper Song is a phantom secret agent, he has always been a businessman. He still has the ability to smile when he meets others. He has already said cheerfully: "My lord, there is no need to thank Xiaomin. Xiaomin is just a businessman. Businessmen pursue profits, and there is no profit."
Anyone can do the things in the picture. This time I escorted your wife, son, and young lady to Jiameng Pass. I suffered a lot and suffered a lot of fear. Several times, I almost couldn't save the guy who was eating from my neck.
, the amount of money spent alone is no less than five hundred taels, sir, you see..."
Yang Huai secretly thought to himself that the guy you are eating is really not safe this time, but he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Song, how can I let you suffer a loss? In this way, you can stay in the post house and have a night's rest."
, I will host a banquet for you tomorrow, and our family will also thank you in person. As for the money you spent, it will all be covered by me, and you will not be short of a tael or a penny."
At this point, Yang Huai paused deliberately, and seeing shopkeeper Song's face looking a little displeased, he continued: "Not only will I not miss you, I will also express my gratitude and guarantee your satisfaction!"
At this time, a soldier walked in and whispered a few words into Yang Huai's ear. Yang Huai's face suddenly changed, he pointed at Shopkeeper Song and said in a deep voice: "Come here, capture this spy!"
Shopkeeper Song didn't expect that his face would turn pale faster than a child's, and he kept shouting: "Mr. Yang, I sent your family here with good intentions. It's okay if you don't want to pay me. Why do you still accuse me of being a spy?"
Yang Huai sneered and said: "Xiangyang is thousands of miles away. You are only six or seven people in your group. You are also burdened by women and children, but you don't carry a single weapon of self-defense. If you are not a spy, how can you get here safely?"
Shopkeeper Song repeatedly stamped his feet and said: "What an injustice! I have been doing business in Jingzhou for many years, and I never need a sharp knife to defend myself when I go out. There are neither bandits nor bandits in Jingzhou, and even local ruffians rarely encounter one, so you must bring a self-defense weapon."
What to do? If you don't do it well, you will get into trouble. I hope you will learn from it!"
Yang Huai pondered for a moment, still not believing what Shopkeeper Song said.
Gao Pei stepped forward and advised: "I have also heard that Jingzhou is very peaceful. I guess he would not dare to lie."
Only then did Yang Huai wink. Two soldiers had already come over and dragged Shopkeeper Song to the post house.
The joy fell from the sky, so Yang Huai inevitably pulled Gao Pei back to the table and continued drinking. He was happy, but Gao Pei was full of thoughts. The two of them were happy and worried, and before they knew it, they were both drunk.
After seeing Gao Pei off, Yang Huai wandered to the backyard. The children were exhausted from the bumpy journey and had fallen asleep. Tian was sitting under the oil lamp waiting for Yang Huai's arrival.
It is said that a goodbye is better than a wedding. Just now in the front hall, Yang Huai was still a little suspicious of Tian, but when he saw her again, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. With the help of wine, he took her into his arms and kissed her.
When he started talking, he didn't ask if the two children were asleep.
Just when he untied Tian's belt and was about to put his hand in, Tian suddenly pushed him away and muttered: "Master, we can't do it today, the slave family's monthly routine is here."
