Chapter 97 The Queen Mother you respect is your daughter-in-law! [Please order first]

The sun sets in the west.

The moon rises tomorrow.

Smoke curled up from the camp.

The soldiers were making a fire to cook.

The Cao family and his son have been away from Luoyang City for two days and one night. At this time, they are located in the southeast of Gong County, which is considered to be outside the city circle with Luoyang as the core.

Considering that it is not safe to walk at night, whether it is directing the march of the army or the terrain, you need to take certain risks.

Therefore, at Zhang Liao's suggestion, Cao Ang simply ordered to set up camp on the spot, and because it was far enough away from Luoyang, he let go of his worries and made a fire to cook instead of eating dry food like last night.

Looking at the lively scene in the camp.

Cao Cao nodded from time to time.

His face was full of satisfaction and satisfaction.

But every time his eyes turned to the northwest corner of the camp, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown slightly, and then he fell into deep thinking for a long time.

In the northwest corner are several spacious carriages, guarding each other diagonally. The windows and the curtains at the rear of the carriages are all tightly drawn. There is no way to peek into the carriages from the outside.

Moreover, these carriages were separated from the main force of the Cao family. Cao Ang dispatched a separate group of soldiers to protect them in the middle and did not allow anyone to get close.

Recalling the situation when these carriages joined the team, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown deeper.

It was probably during the day that we merged into the main force, located between Gong County and Yanshi County.

Integrate quietly.

If Cao Cao hadn't been paying attention to his team along the way, it would have been difficult to notice that there were so many more carriages.

No one was seen getting out of the carriage along the way.

Whether you are on the road or resting.

If Cao Cao hadn't seen several maids waiting around, bringing food in during meals and providing utensils when using the toilet, he might have thought that there were no people on these carriages at all.

Cao Cao once asked Cao Ang who the people in these carriages were.

But Cao Ang refused to answer.

It was said that in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, the identities of the people in the carriage must be revealed after the family arrived at the final destination.

Cao Cao was quite depressed about this.

Is there something that you can't even tell your old father? Are you still worried that your father will leak it?

I'm very angry, but I can only accept it.

In addition, there was another person who caught Cao Cao's attention, and that was Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who followed these four carriages and joined the large army.

Cao Cao didn't know this man very well.

After being introduced by Cao Ang, I found out that he was a direct descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan. He had previously served as a palace guard in Luoyang, but now he has given up his official position.

Cao Cao of the Xun family in Yingchuan knew this.

A world-famous noble family.

Xunzi's descendants gave birth to the famous divine monarch Xun Shu, not to mention the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, and the collection of books in his family was terrifying.

The direct descendants of such a top-notch family definitely don't need to worry about their future. When they reach a certain age, the elders in the family will arrange everything properly.

Although we are living in troubled times now.

The path arranged by the family may not be that easy, but it is better and better than the average person.

But now this man named Xun Yu actually hangs out with Cao Ang all day long.

He seemed to regard Cao Ang as his elder brother and his son as his life mentor.

This made Cao Cao even more puzzled.

My son is quite good. Anyway, as a father, I can't keep up with him, but it won't make you, a boy from a family, so sought after, right?

I always feel that as soon as I leave Luoyang City, things will change drastically.

…

It's extremely unsafe to travel outdoors these days.

Wild beasts appear from time to time.

It would be better if it was close to the city. After all, there would often be local chiefs leading soldiers to eliminate wild beasts, which greatly weakened the density of the beast herds.

But in the wilderness far from the city.

No one really cares about large carnivorous beasts such as tigers and wolves. There are endless incidents of attacking passers-by in the middle of the night.

So after dinner.

Fires were lit everywhere in the military camp, using dazzling firelight to dispel the darkness and at the same time deter any wild beasts that might appear.

"Whoa!"

Cao Ang opened the curtain, bringing up a gust of cold wind in the summer night, causing the bright lights in the tent to flicker.

At this moment, under the light, his father, Cao Cao, was holding a bamboo slip and reading it with gusto, not knowing what he was reading.

"Is your mother asleep?"

Seeing his son walking in, Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips and pointed to the tent next to him.

Cao Ang nodded.

"After a day's journey, mother and the others are already exhausted. When I came here just now, they asked me to put out a few candles. They are probably asleep now."

When away from home or in a military camp, it is very inconvenient for men and women to live in the same tent.

Therefore, mother Ding and Diao Chan lived together, while Cao Ang lived in a tent with his father.

After getting a response.

Cao Cao held up his bamboo slips again and shook his head, looking like he was crazily absorbing knowledge.

After Cao Ang sat cross-legged for a quarter of an hour, he couldn't sit still and even felt sleepy.

It’s so boring!

In this wilderness, there is no village in front, no store in back, no entertainment activities at all, and there is only a big man like my father nearby.

It's really sleepy.

The key point was that he couldn't read the books that Cao Cao brought with him. He knew the characters on the bamboo slips individually, but he didn't recognize them when they were put together. He suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated.

After looking around in the tent for a while with some boredom, Cao Ang felt that there was no need to go to bed so early, so he simply stood up and said hello to Cao Cao.

"Father, I'm going out for a walk!"

Then he opened the curtain and walked out.

…

The evening breeze blows in the summer.

Cao Ang's sleepiness was immediately reduced by more than half.

He looked at the somewhat quiet camp.

He nodded to the few guards guarding the camp, and then wandered around.

Don't know why.

By some strange coincidence, he wandered to the four-horse carriage in the northwest corner of the camp.

There is no doubt that this is where the Empress Dowager He and others settled on the road.

Speaking of which, according to Xun Yu's plan, only three carriages were planned. After all, there were only three people.

The result was before leaving.

Queen Mother He suddenly expressed that she would take away her brother's daughter-in-law, Yin Shi, and leave Luoyang.

After all, her brothers He Jin and He Miao were both dead, and He Jin's son was also dead. The one-year-old child in the arms of the daughter-in-law was the only male in the entire He family.

The Queen Mother He didn't want her family to be cut off.

Therefore, he made a request to Xun Yu.

In the absence of Cao Ang, the Queen Mother's will was of course particularly important, so Xun Yu agreed to this request.

And during the day, he had quietly reported the matter to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang didn't care about this.

We have to leave after all, it doesn't matter if there are more or less people, there is no need to make the Queen Mother unhappy.
