Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 191 Intercepting the Messenger
Chapter 192 Intercepting the Messenger
Diao Chan, Zhen Ji, and Wen Jiao are chatting together in the back office of the Luoyang County Yamen.

"Wen Jiao, is it true that the county government has no news of your husband?"

"You have asked countless times! If I have it, can I not tell you?"

"However, it has been three days since General Ling Tong came back, and there is no news at all!" Diao Chan worried.

"Didn't Ling Tong say that the young master is going to drive the bandits to Yichuan, go through the deep mountains and dense forests to Yichuan, how can it be so fast, I guess it will take two days to hear the news." Wen Jiao said.

"Diao Chan, don't worry, my brother brought more than 1000 people there, the thieves were only four to five hundred, and Zhao Yun and Xia Houba were also there. I heard that Zhao Yun was once a fierce general in the prime minister's army." Zhen Ji I am also persuading.

"Hey! Obviously there is a strong general like Zhao Yun, so it's fine to leave it to him to fight the war. Why do you have to go to your husband!" Diao Chan sighed.

"Hmph! Some people have angered him this time, and if he doesn't vent his anger, he will definitely not give up."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about it. He will come back when he walks around the deep mountains and old forests. I'll go back and rest. I knew I shouldn't be such a minister. I'm exhausted!"

At the same time, in the most luxurious inn in Luolong District, a young man in white was looking at the direction of the county government through the window sill, holding a wine glass in his hand, slowly tasting wine.

A servant in gray came up behind the young man in white, and said respectfully, "Master Yada!"

"Have you heard clearly?"

"Yes! Cao Chong led his troops into the mountain three days ago and has not returned yet. Zhao Yun and Xia Houba entered the mountain with him. At the same time, Cao Tai also led his troops out of Yique three days ago to Yichuan; Cao Yan also I left Luoyang yesterday for Yichuan. Now the county government is in charge of Pang Tong, and about [-] troops remain in Luoyang, led by Lu Xun and Ling Tong."

"Cao Chong is so talented! Much better than his two older brothers." Mr. Yada put down his wine glass and sighed.

"Have you found out when Cao Chong visited Jingzhou and Yizhou?"

"No! No one has ever heard that Cao Chong has been to Jingzhou or Yizhou."

"Young master, Cao Chong is only 14 years old this year. I heard that he stayed in Xudu almost all the time before he came to Luoyang." The gray-clothed servant continued.

"Pang Tong, Fazheng, Zhao Yun, Lu Xun... How did Cao Chong gather people from all over the world?" Mr. Yada said to himself.

After a while, the servant in gray asked cautiously, "Master Yada, what about Yichuan?"

"Yichuan? What's the matter with Yichuan?" Mr. Yada asked back.

"But son, you said that Cao Chong will definitely drive the bandits to Yichuan County, where there are slaves from the Chen family and the Cui family."

The servant in gray continued: "Cao Yan went to Yichuan to investigate this matter, when the time comes..."

"Then what's the matter, Mr. Yada?" Mr. Yada said indifferently.

"My son is just passing by Yichuan, drinking and singing poetry with a few friends, at most it's just betting and losing some property after drinking too much." After finishing speaking, Mr. Yada went straight to the table and sat down.

"Even if something goes wrong, it's the Chen family's and the Cui's' affairs. If Chen Bing and Cui Tiao can't handle even such a trivial matter, it can only show that the younger generations of the two families are incompetent!" Mr. Yada said, He tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers.

The servant in gray hurriedly took out the Four Treasures of the Study, and started grinding ink for Mr. Yada.

"I heard that Cao Chong bought a lot of properties, and he has the ability to make money?"

"Yes, most of the shops sell novelty items, and there are many shops that are making a lot of money every day!" The gray-clothed servant replied while rubbing ink.

Mr. Yada picked up the pen and put it down again.

"Simaping and his son are really stupid and greedy. Look at the stupid things they did in Luoyang! They deserve death!" Mr. Yada suddenly said angrily.

The servant in gray bowed his head, not daring to answer!
"Hmph! No matter how wrong Sima Ping and his son are, they can't be insulted by the untouchables! Cao Chong, you actually trampled on the face of the gentry for your own fame. It's really unreasonable!"

After finishing his anger, Young Master Yada sighed again: "Hey! After eunuchs, they are indeed so humble that it is difficult to melt into the air of luxury. Poor! That's all!"

After sighing, I started to write a letter.

After a while, Mr. Yada put down the brush, dried the ink on the paper, handed it to the servant in gray and said, "Send the letter to Second Brother, we will leave tomorrow."

"My lord isn't staying in Luoyang anymore?"

"No, let's go to Guanzhong as soon as possible."

"Hey! The chaos in Guanzhong is not much better than that in Luoyang! In this chaotic world, the children of our gentry should be running for the world! My father served as Jing Zhaoyin and Luoyang Ling successively. He worked hard for many years. I didn't expect the two places to be reduced to such a situation now. No wonder my father stays behind closed doors, he is devastated!"

Young Master Yada left Luoyang, passed through Hangu Pass, and headed for Guanzhong all the way, Cao Yan was worried in Yichuan.

"I haven't figured out who Master Yada is?"

"The subordinate is incompetent! The two young masters, Chen Bing and Cui Tao, were receiving Mr. Yada that day, and no one else was present, so I don't know who this Mr. Yada is?"

"That's all!" Cao Yan waved his hand.

"How's the situation in the northern forest?"

"General, my subordinates have sent people into the mountains to investigate the whereabouts of the bandits. There are about three to four hundred people. They should be the group that was driven away by the young master."

"Very good! This number must be enough. There are not so many other bandits in that forest. When will they come out?" Cao Yan asked happily.

"It will come out this afternoon. General Cao Tai is already ambushing at the exit. Shall we go too, General?"

"We're not going there. Cao Tai led 600 people to ambush there. If you can't even catch a group of exhausted bandits, just wipe your own neck."

"Gather everyone! Let's go to other exits. There must be those tricky people who will break through from other places, and those are the big fish!" Cao Yan ordered.

"Yes, this subordinate is going!"

The pockets were already tied outside, but Cao Chong was looking at the bandits in the distance with a puzzled expression.

"It's time to walk out of the forest. Why did these bandits stop? Do they want to stay in the jungle for another day?"

"They were eating the last dry food and drinking water, and after drinking the water, they threw away the water bag, as if they were going to do their best!" Zhao Yun analyzed through the telescope while observing.

"Did they know there was an ambush outside?" Xia Houba asked.

"I don't rule out this possibility. Cao Tai's people can't hide it in Yichuan. If someone comes in from Yichuan, it's also possible to deliver a letter to them."

They thought too much, someone outside wanted to send a letter in, Cao Yan led the people from the school office to intercept and kill the messenger at every intersection into the mountain!

"We can't let them waste any longer! The area outside the forest is open, if we let them run away in the dark, then our hard work will be in vain for many days! Zhao Yun, prepare to attack!" Cao Chong said.

"As ordered!"
