Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 254 Appease Lord Yin's Anger

Chapter 255 Appease Lord Yin's Anger

"Calm down Lord Yin's anger, none of these thieves can escape."

When Cao Chong said this, he turned around and asked Xia Houba beside him, "Is there any news from Lu Xun? How is Liu Ji?"

"Lu Xun sent news the night before yesterday that Liu Ji had been blocked several times from returning to the village and had given up. Just as the young master expected, he fled northward." Xia Houba replied.

Cao Chong nodded and said, "That's good. I guess I think the cottage is safe, and I want to cross the Yellow River from the north and escape to Hanoi County."

Guo He snorted coldly and said, "Don't think about it! After receiving the young master's plan, the old man sent people to the south bank of the Yellow River. The old man guaranteed that he would not be able to find a boat from Luohekou to Wushejin. With 2000 people going directly to the north of Mang Mountain, it is estimated that Liu Ji would have difficulty walking to the bank of the Yellow River!"

When Cao Chong heard this, he didn't have anything to worry about.

Lao Guo is getting ruthless!

"Report! The criminals are here!" A soldier outside came in to report to Cao Chong.

"Just right! Master Ling Yin, the women and children I caught in the back mountain have been escorted. Don't you have many servants and maidservants? Just ask them to identify them and see if there are any fish that slipped through the net."

Guo He saw a large number of women wearing gold, silver, and jewels come in, his face twitched, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and wanted to draw it again!

It's no wonder Guo He's reaction. It's difficult for ordinary county towns to gather so many gorgeously dressed women in a short time. This den of thieves is fine!

It is not surprising that the king of the mountain has a wife under him, but there are dozens of bandit leaders in his den who marry wives and have children, and these bandit wives live more comfortably than noble ladies, which is rare.

Although they ran around all day, their gorgeous clothes were stained with dirt and leaves, their bodies were full of pearls and emeralds, and their jewelry was also a little skewed. These women looked a bit embarrassed, but the material of the clothes and jewelry could be seen at a glance.

Another point that Cao Chong didn't pay much attention to was that the clothes and jewelry styles of these women were made directly according to the clothes and jewelry styles of Mrs. Gaoming or even the royal family and harem women!

After Guo He saw the clothes and jewelry styles of these thieves, he immediately had the urge to kill people!Feudal etiquette did not attach great importance to these.

These thieves and women are already captives, but Yu Wei is still there!
Just as a maid was about to step forward to identify her, she was so frightened by a woman's stare that she didn't dare to step forward!
This completely angered Guo He, and he pulled out the knife with a bang!He waved his head at the thief woman!
Lao Guo didn't chop off the thief woman with a single knife, but slapped the thief woman's face with the blade of the knife!
"Pfft!" The teeth were covered with blood and spewed out far away. The thief woman was pulled so that she twisted half a circle, and fell to the ground with half of her face bloody and bloody. She didn't know if she was alive or dead!

Cao Chongxin said: Lao Guo is ruthless enough!If you hit your face with a knife, even if you don’t die, your face will be ruined. Even if you survived by luck, it will be difficult to eat in the future! !
It's better to chop her with a knife and give her a good time!
With Lao Guo's savage intimidation, the subsequent identification went smoothly, but the result was a headache!
Many family members of the bandit leader are there, but the two most important ones are missing, the bandit leader Liu Ji's wife and his son are not there!
Liu Ji, the king of the mountain, lived a really good life. Not only did he have a regular wife as Mrs. Yazhai, but he also had several beautiful concubines.

Moreover, according to the bandit's confession, this Liu Ji's wife was the daughter of a wealthy family in Luoyang, and she gave birth to three sons for Liu Ji. The two eldest sons were definitely dead, but his wife disappeared with the five-year-old youngest son.

"Young master, I have searched this valley several times, but if I can't find it, will I die among the rebellious army?" Xia Houba asked.

"So many thieves are alive, but the wife of the thief leader died in the rebellion. Do you believe it? And what if he died in the rebellion? His wife and son are both alive and dead. It's amazing. Strange."

"Since he didn't die, he escaped."

"With so many troops under siege, if a woman ran away with a five-year-old child, it would be a death blow!" Cao Chong said angrily.

"Have the people in the back mountain gone out? Go to the back mountain and have a look."

"Soldiers are clearing the road. The fire was extinguished yesterday, but the dead branches and leaves on the ground are still smoking."

Cao Chong took Xiahouba through the embers of the fire with great difficulty and came to the top of the mountain behind the valley. The bandits also built steps on the back mountain, making it easy to reach the top of the mountain.

No wonder they wanted to set fire to block the way back. Otherwise, the bandits would have no possibility of escaping with their women and children.

The area of ​​the top of the mountain is not small. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the real valley, and of course the gentle slope behind the mountain and the small mountain stream below.

Cao Chong's soldiers who stayed in the mountain stream had already noticed that there were people on the top of the mountain, and they were looking up with a thousand-mile barrel. Xia Houba danced like a fool, and shouted loudly at the soldiers in the mountain stream below.

"This is not the highest point, the north is." Cao Chong said while standing on the top of the hill, looking at the higher peak to the north.

"This valley is originally located between two mountain ridges in the north and south. The north ridge is higher than the south ridge. The two ridges meet behind the valley. We seem to be standing on the south ridge." Xiahouba looked at the surrounding terrain. explain.

"You can go from here, let's go, go to the north to have a look."

"Young master, let the two bandits lead the way."

"Hmph! Those who know the way don't want to tell you. Those who are willing to lead the way must have never been to the back mountain. Let's go and have a look."

Cao Chong took Xiahouba and a group of guards to climb the mountain in the north, but they retreated quickly.

At the intersection of the two mountain ridges, there are cluttered rocks everywhere, and the broken wall has no way at all. Although the broken wall is not high, most of it is only a few meters high, but if you are not careful, you will fall to your death.

After the two returned, let the soldiers continue to climb with the rope.

"Young master, you don't think that Liu Ji's thieves escaped to the northern peak, do you? It's impossible. You've seen it. Without ropes and tools, even Orion, who is very good at climbing, can't climb up, let alone her alone. A weak woman with a five-year-old child."

After returning to the cottage, Xia Houba questioned Cao Chong.

"It's very possible that the bandits have been operating here for 20 years, and they definitely won't leave that mountain alone. It's not that they can't climb up there." After Cao Chong finished speaking, he asked another question.

"These bandits have been looting around Luoyang for more than [-] years. Where are the wealth they looted? We found a lot of food and cloth, but how come there is not much gold and silver?"

"Young master, don't you think there are too few gold, silver and jewels here?" It was Guo He who asked Cao Chong.

"Lord Ling Yin, most of the gold and silver jewelry we have seen so far are accessories, utensils and other finished objects. There are not many real gold and silver ingots."
