"General Dong, you and the sergeant go to the wing to rest first. I want to say a few words to my wife."
Cai Yongchong spoke to the accompanying school captain Dong Fu.
"Lord Cai, just leave."
As early as when he left Chang'an, Dong Zhuo told Dong Fu not to provoke Cai Yong. As long as he didn't try to escape, everything would be up to him.
"OK."
Cai Yong strode into the Cai Mansion.
"Master, you are back."
The servant of the Cai family who was sweeping the floor saw Cai Yong coming back and immediately threw down the broom to greet him.
"Well, where's Madam?"
Cai Yong nodded to the servant.
"Madam is in the inner hall, I will go and report it right away."
The servant said that he was going to report it, but Cai Yong stopped him.
"I can just go by myself. There are Fei Xiong troops who are coming with me outside. You inform Chief Cai and arrange for them to rest in the wing."
"promise."
After the servant said this, he went over to greet him.
"Remember, tell Chief Cai not to neglect them."
"I understand, little one."
After finishing the arrangement, Cai Yong continued to walk into the inner hall.
"Madam, my husband is back."
Cai Yong stopped the servants who wanted to speak out along the way. When he saw Mrs. Zhao in the inner hall, he couldn't help but shout.
"Ah, sir, you are back."
Mrs. Zhao was startled, but after seeing Cai Yong clearly, she immediately ran towards him.
"How did these servants behave? I don't even know when I come back. They really deserve to be beaten."
Mrs. Zhao, who threw herself into Cai Yong's arms, then remembered, are all the servants in the courtyard working on dry food? The master didn't even notice when he entered the house.
"Haha, I didn't want them to announce it, just to give you a surprise."
Cai Yong stroked Mrs. Zhao's hair, his eyes full of doting.
"You are really bad."
Mrs. Zhao lightly punched Cai Yong to vent her shyness.
"Sir, those military masters have made arrangements."
Just as the two of them were chatting with each other, the voice of the butler Cai Chang sounded from behind them.
"I understand, go down."
"ah."
After hearing Chang Cai's words, Mrs. Zhao exclaimed again.
"Madam, what's going on?"
The lady exclaimed, which startled Cai Yong.
"Master, are you bringing a sergeant with you this time?"
Mrs. Zhao looked at Cai Yong with a hint of panic in her eyes.
"Hey, Dong Zhuo insisted on arranging fifty flying bear troops to protect my safety. I think he was just afraid that I would run away. Besides Wenji's matter when he came back this time, we also had to raise our family.
When we move to Chang'an, these soldiers will be responsible for escorting us."
Speaking of the Fei Xiong Army, Cai Yong couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, something is very wrong."
After hearing Cai Yong's words, Mrs. Zhao exclaimed again.
"what happened again?"
Looking at the strange lady, Cai Yong couldn't help but be stunned.
"Sir, do you know who Wen Ji's husband is this time?"
Mrs. Zhao pulled Cai Yong toward the back room and spoke to him in a low voice.
"Isn't it Wei Zhongdao, the second son of the Wei family in Hedong?"
There was a trace of doubt on Cai Yong's face.
"The Wei family has left, and Wenji has been betrothed to Jizhou Mu Yuan Shu Yuan Gongdao by me."
"ah."
Mrs. Zhao's words were like a thunder, which fried Cai Yong.
Not only did he know about the grudge between the Yuan family in Runan, especially Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo, but no one in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty knew it. Now his wife actually betrothed Cai Wenji to Yuan Shu. Doesn't this cost her own life?
"Madam, why don't you tell me about such a big matter?"
Feeling Cai Yong's reproachful eyes, Mrs. Zhao also felt aggrieved.
"Sir, Jizhou Mu's brother Yuan Ji and Yuan Taipu came to propose marriage in person. How should I refuse? How dare I refuse? Moreover, there was a group of strongmen who wanted to kidnap Wen Ji that night. If the Yuan family's guards hadn't fought to the death,
I may not even be able to wait for you."
Mrs. Zhao started to cry as she spoke, and her tears were sputtering.
"Okay, my husband wrongly blamed you, what should I do now? If General Dong finds out that Yuan Ji is here, he will inevitably go on a killing spree."
He quickly comforted his wife, but now Cai Yong's mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to do.
"Master, do you want to continue to be with Dong Zhuo or do you want to take the opportunity to break away?"
Mrs. Zhao also knew that now was not the time to show off her temper, so she quickly stopped crying.
"It goes without saying that you don't know what kind of person my husband is. If Dong Zhuo hadn't threatened me with you, do you think I would have committed the crime?"
There was a trace of anger in Cai Yong's eyes, and at the same time, there was also a sense of grievance that could not be vented.
"That's easy to say. Let's invite the servant Yuan to come over for discussion. If Yuan Jiujiu wants to marry Yan'er, he can't push his own Mount Tai and Taishui to death."
Mrs. Zhao looked at her master with a ray of wisdom unique to a young woman in her eyes.
"My lady's words are very kind. Chief Cai, hurry up and call the servant Yuan over. Remember, don't make any noise, let alone disturb the sergeants."
Mrs. Zhao's words were exactly what Cai Yong wanted. If his daughter's husband's family was pushed to death because of marrying off his daughter, Yuan Shu, who was his uncle, would not be able to do such a thing.
"Everyone Cai, there is no need to fight, Shiji is already here."
There was no need for Cai Chang to invite him, Yuan Ji had already appeared outside the inner hall.
"Prince Yuan, please come quickly."
Seeing Yuan Ji coming uninvited, Cai Yong knew that there must be a solution to the matter.
Yuan Ji gave a junior salute and then stepped into the hall.
"Uncle Cai, I know that you have long wanted to break away from Dong's thieves, so I asked my aunt to keep quiet this time in order to trick you into returning to Chenliu, and then take you away from the land of right and wrong and go north to Jizhou."
Yuan Ji spoke directly and told Cai Yong all his thoughts.
"But Dong Zhuo sent fifty flying bear troops to follow him during this trip. What should we do?"
Yuan Ji said it very lightly, but Cai Yong found it very difficult. After all, he had experienced the strength of the Flying Bear Army firsthand. Along the way, they had encountered a group of five hundred bandits to intercept them.
The five hundred bandits were defeated by the Flying Bear Army with a single charge, and then scattered in pursuit. Three hundred people were killed on the spot, but the Flying Bear Army was unscathed.
"It's just a flying bear army, it doesn't matter. You only need to pack up your belongings and take away the most important things. The rest of your belongings will be sent to Jizhou, and you can have as much as you want."
Yuan Ji didn't pay any attention to the flying bear army Cai Yong mentioned. If you came with 500 people, he might have to think of some strategies, but the 50 flying bear army would be a real gift to him.
"Prince Yuan, you'd better tell me exactly what you're going to do, otherwise I won't worry."
Although Yuan Ji said it lightly, Cai Yong's heart was still in a state of confusion and he couldn't let it go.
"What else can I do? Just kill them all."
Yuan Ji's understatement was like a bolt from the blue to Cai Yong.
"I wonder how many soldiers and horses Yuan Taipu has here to call upon, one thousand or two thousand?"
