There was no change in Wang Mai, except that he looked a little haggard.
Compared with before, his eyebrows are less childish and more mature and stable. He is wearing a black turban and an open robe. He holds an iron halberd and snake spear in his hand, standing proudly across his chest.
People can't help but be deterred by it...
"Afu!"
When Wang Mai saw Cao Peng clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed, and his face suddenly showed an expression of ecstasy.
"Uncle Mao, Uncle Mao...this is one of our own, one of our own!"
No one noticed that the moment Dian Wei barged in, the old man Haosou slid forward slightly and bowed his body slightly. Maybe it was because he was already a little rickety, so Dian Wei, including Dian Wei, did not notice.
They noticed something strange about him. It wasn't until Wang Mai shouted that everyone noticed the old man. But by this time, the old man had returned to his previous half-dead appearance.
Cao Peng's heart surged with ecstasy.
He jumped down from the doorstep and walked a few steps quickly, but saw Wang Mai suddenly turned his head and ran towards the hall.
"Brother Hutou..."
Before Cao Peng could finish speaking, Wang Mai shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... Ah Fu is back! I knew he would definitely come back!"
Another chill!
Cao Peng was stunned on the spot.
Brother-in-law?
Wang Mai is an only son! If he has a sister, it is Cao Nan.
Brother-in-law, could it be Deng Ji... isn't he also dead?
But after thinking about it again, Cao Peng felt that it was normal. Wang Mai would definitely protect Deng Ji Zhouquan if he was still alive, and with his stubborn temperament.
While he was thinking about it, he saw Wang Mai supporting a pale young man walking out of the hall.
He looked very weak, and his clothes were a little thin. He was wearing a green shirt, which made him look quite elegant, but there was no blood on his face, which was a bit frighteningly white.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Deng Jiecong!"
Cao Peng and Wei Yan shouted at the same time.
Wei Yan had a look of shock on his face, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Deng Ji is not dead, his old brothers, Yiyang military soldiers...
Cao Peng took three steps at a time, rushed in front of Deng Ji, stretched out his hands, and grabbed Deng Ji's arm. But with this grab, he immediately realized that something was wrong. One of Deng Ji's sleeves was actually
Empty, one arm, but missing.
"Brother-in-law, your arm!"
Deng Ji did not answer Cao Peng's question. He stretched out his other hand and gently rubbed Cao Peng's head. "Ah Fu, since you escaped, why did you come back?"
"I……"
The warmth surging in his heart made Cao Peng's nose sore and he almost shed tears.
"Brother-in-law, this happened because of me. If I don't come back, how will I be different from an animal?"
"But you are back, and..."
Before Deng Ji finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Yan suddenly stepping forward.
He looked hopeful and asked nervously: "Deng Jiecong..."
"General Wei Tun, are you okay?"
"I'm fine... I just want to ask, how are Old Tang, Tang Ji and the others doing now?"
Deng Ji's expression darkened, and Wei Yan's heart suddenly sank.
"That night, there was chaos at Sunset. I had one of my arms chopped off and fell into a coma. Fortunately, Hu Tou rescued me with all his strength, and then I... I heard from Hu Tou that the entire camp was in chaos, and there were even many Yiyangs.
The military soldiers were also involved. Tang Dubo insisted on guarding the military soldiers and asked Hu Tou to take me away. He was covering behind...According to the situation at that time, Tang Dubo, he...is more likely to be in trouble than in danger!"
The saddest thing in the world is that when you have given up hope, hope suddenly comes to you.
However, before that hope could become a reality, it was shattered without a trace... When Wei Yan heard this, he immediately stood still, as if he was stupid.
Regarding the military soldiers in Yiyang, Dian Wei and Xia Houlan also heard about it on the road.
Seeing this, Dian Wei took a step forward, put his arm around Wei Yan's shoulders, and tightened his arms, "Chang Wen, don't imitate that little son and daughter. Sooner or later, you and I will avenge the soldiers of Yiyang. When we go back
After that, regroup. One day, I will send that treacherous boy in front of you and let you be cut into pieces... Cheer up, don't let others look down on you and make fun of us!"
Wei Yan gritted his teeth, looked up to the sky and took a deep breath.
"Brother Dian, I'm fine!"
"A real man can lift it up and let it go. No matter how much hatred we have buried in our hearts, one day we can repay it."
"Um!"
Wei Yan nodded vigorously.
At this time, Deng Ji also noticed the existence of Dian Wei and Xia Houlan.
He quickly said: "Ah Fu, please come into the room to talk... Uncle Mao, please help me drive the carriage and horse into the stable."
The old man Haoshou smiled, his skinny face twitching, giving people a strange feeling.
But when he saw him, he was trembling and walking slowly out of the gate. With the support of Cao Peng, Deng Ji invited everyone to enter the hall.
The furnishings of this Taoyuan living room are very simple, with a few couches and a half-height bed in the center. Deng Jisu held his hands and invited everyone to take a seat.
"Afu, these good friends are..."
Before Cao Peng could speak, Dian Wei stood up in a loud voice, cupped his hands and said, "Deng Jiecong, I have long admired your name. My name is Dian Wei, and Ah Fu is my savior."
"My lord, Xia Houlan!"
Deng Ji was startled, "Dian Wei?"
The evil from ancient times has become famous all over the world.
Maybe many ordinary people don't know who Dian Wei is, but Deng Ji has been a subordinate official for a long time, and most of the official documents in the past have to be processed by his hands. It is not unusual to know Dian Wei's name. Who made Dian Wei famous, and Puyang fought all over the world
Dian Wei was famous and served as Cao Cao's bodyguard. It was normal for him to be mentioned in official documents. However, Deng Ji failed to connect Dian Wei and Evil at once.
After all, Dian Wei is Cao Cao's favorite general, and Cao Peng...
However, when Cao Peng saw that Dian Wei had declared his family status, he understood that it was not easy to hide it.
"That's Colonel Wu Meng who serves under Duke Cao!"
"ah?"
Deng Ji's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Dian Wei for a long time. A smile appeared on his face as pale as paper, "It turns out it's Dian Xiaowei in person. My Ah Fu must be in a lot of trouble these days... I'm sorry.
Deng Ji is not feeling well, so I can’t express my gratitude so much. I’m sorry!”
Dian Wei said: "Why should Deng Shusun be so polite? Ah Fu is indeed my savior. I have to drag him to take care of me these days, so that Dian can avoid death. I often hear Wen Chang and Ah Fu mention you, and when we meet today, it is really extraordinary. We
Please stop being polite to your own people."
Deng Ji turned to look at Cao Peng and saw Cao Peng nodded.
"Brother-in-law, why are you here? Did that bastard chop your arm off?"
"That bastard has become a dead soul after being shot with a tiger's head."
Deng Ji said and coughed twice.
Then he raised his head and said to Wei Yan: "I failed to rescue Uncle Tang Du, and I still hurt him... Deng Shusun is really unworthy of Wei Tun General."
Wei Yan smiled bitterly, "Uncle, how long has it been before you are still so polite? I am no longer a Wei general, and the Yiyang soldiers no longer exist. If you think highly of me, just call me Wen Chang."
You are older than me, so you can call me by my first name, but please don't mention the word "tunnel general" again. Speaking of which, I also want to thank your brother. If it weren't for Ah Fu that day, I would have died long ago..."
Both parties explained in detail what happened that day, and both couldn't help but sigh.
"If I hadn't been soft-hearted and let Ma Yu and the others join in, maybe this thing wouldn't have happened. At that time, Ah Fu blamed me for being soft-hearted, but I thought he was a bit too harsh. But now it seems that Ah Fu was right. I
What a stupid farmer!"
After saying that, Deng Ji shook his head gently.
"Uncle Sun, I don't blame you for this. Even if you didn't plead for mercy at that time, if Ma Yu hadn't sneaked in, there would have been Zhang Yu, Li Yu, Wang Yu... I also believed in Wei Ping too much.
Outsiders colluded to murder my brother. It was not Brother Afu who killed him. If he falls into my hands, he will be cut into pieces, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." Wei Yan said, gritting his teeth.
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"
"It's a long story..." Deng Ji glanced at Cao Peng, patted his shoulder with his only remaining hand, "Thanks to Hu Tou, if it weren't for him, I would be dead now.
live."
"Brother Hutou..."
Wang Mai stopped Cao Peng and said, "Ah Fu, don't talk about those biological differences. Didn't you say that there are two brothers in the same generation? We are brothers. I am just doing my duty. That day I took my brother-in-law from the camp.
After fighting and running wildly all night, Dahei also died on the roadside from exhaustion. Fortunately, he met Mr. Zhongjing and saved his brother-in-law's life. Otherwise, I would never have the shame to see you again in my life..."
"Mr. Zhongjing?"
"That's Prefect Zhang Ji!" Wang Mai said softly: "This Taoyuan is Mr. Zhang's residence. After he learned about the identities of my brother-in-law and me, he arranged for us to live here."
"So, you didn't go home?"
Wang Mai looked gloomy, shook his head and said nothing.
Cao Peng's heart suddenly felt an ominous sign.
He grabbed Wang Mai's arm and said, "Brother Hutou, did something happen at home?"
"Afu!"
Deng Ji spoke at the side and waved his hand to signal Cao Peng to calm down. At this time, Cao Peng's thoughts were all confused, and his head was so chaotic that it was about to turn into a pot of porridge. He took a deep breath, sat down next to Deng Ji, and tried to calm his mind.
, want to calm down.
"After we settled here, Hutou tried to cross the river to contact his parents and your sister. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Deng Fan on the way, saying that there were many strangers wandering around our house. Deng Cai came back again, and also
He took over my position as assistant historian and monitored the home."
"ah!"
"The day before yesterday, news came from Deng Fan, saying that the magistrate of Kuai County had taken away my parents and your sister. They are now being held in Jiyang Prison."
Cao Peng's thin body was shaking violently.
His teeth bit his lip, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he seemed completely unaware of it.
"Afu, I was discussing with my brother-in-law before, to break into Jiyang Prison to meet my uncle, aunt, and sister..."
In an instant, Cao Peng understood the meaning of Deng Ji's previous words.
His parents and wife were arrested, and Deng Ji did not want to live alone. He had decided to go to jail, and even if he died, he would die with his family. However, if Cao Peng did not come back, he could still keep a line of the Cao family. But now he is back... and
What difference does it make if you die?
No wonder, my brother-in-law said I shouldn’t come back!
A burst of hot blood rushed straight to the top of his head.
The energy and blood in the internal organs oscillated, and the whole body seemed to be burned by flames.
Cao Peng suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and raised his head to the sky with a roar.
