When Cao Zhen saw her two younger brothers dragging her grandfather and aunt to find her, she felt bad.

She was following the last group of wounded soldiers on their way back to Dalian from Goguryeo. More precisely, they were in Xiangping County, Liaodong County.Although it is a relatively prosperous Han territory, it is ruled by powerful families such as the Gongsun family and the Tian family, which is far less safe than the Cao family's own Dalian.

Fortunately, since these wounded soldiers are the queens, most of them have been raised in Goguryeo.Now each of the strong young men is riding or walking, if it is not for the traces of bandages exposed in the gaps in the armor, it is almost indistinguishable from the ordinary troops.

"Sister." A young man's clear voice sounded from the wilderness.Cao Ang was wearing light armor and rode first.Although the white horse "Floating Cloud" he was riding was not yet fully grown, it was superior in breed and could sniff each other's noses when encountering military horses, and the soldiers deliberately gave way, so they rushed to the doctor's hospital one by one. Next to the carriage in which the girls and orphans were riding.

Cao Ang tightened the reins vigorously, and "Floating Cloud" stopped beside the wheel smoothly. "Sister." The young man shouted, the eyes of one person and one horse were moist.

Cao Zhen was still holding the orphan in her arms, patting him repeatedly: "Shhh, be gentle. This little evil star finally fell asleep." Miss Cao's bun was clothed in a bun, and the outermost skin was fat and flaxen. The uniform completely concealed the girl's slender figure, only those big eyes similar to Cao Cao's were bright and bright, revealing the sharpness of a commoner.

Cao Ang quickly shut up, and at the same time patted the "Floating Cloud" horse, signaling his friends to shut up too. "Floating Cloud" snorted back at him contemptuously.

The team coming from Dalian to meet the wind merged with the wounded team and headed towards Xiangping City without stopping for a moment.

The leader of this wounded team was only a small commander Qu, and the three generals below were flattered to see the White Rabbit Banner greet them personally.When Ah Sheng questioned him, this simple and simple man was still stuttering.

"My lord... my lord. I...we are wounded soldiers from the third battalion of Flying Eagle Cavalry and the first battalion of Yong in Liaonan Township, a total of 670 people. We are ordered to escort the great doctors back to Dalian Port."

A Sheng is dressed as a scholar today, wearing a green dress and a crown, because he doesn't wear a fake beard and looks extraordinarily young.She first exchanged letters with the leading soldiers, and then condolences to more than a dozen soldiers who have done meritorious service, and finally went to her family.

The first person she caught was Cao Ang, who rarely showed a childish look.

"Second Uncle, Elder Sister sewed pencil cases for both of us." He triumphantly showed A Sheng a checkered linen pencil case with a bird embroidered on it, whether it was a duck or a wild goose. The school uses a mixture of hard and soft pens, and all the students have pencil cases made by their sisters at home, which are convenient and clean. My sister said that we can’t lack what others have!”

Cao Zhen's ability to draw pictures seemed to be transmitted to her embroidery, and Ah Sheng couldn't help but curl his lips: "That's right. Ah Zhen is very skilled, she can be an embroiderer."

Cao Ang: ...The second uncle's niece filter is as thick as the city wall of Dalian.

"Since I have accepted sister's pencil case and mother's schoolbag, study hard." Ah Sheng brought the topic back.

Cao Ang cupped his hands: "Okay. Brother and I must not let the elders worry."

"Masters in middle schools, no matter they are new to Confucianism, regardless of men, women, young or old, they must have basic respect. If a classmate has a difficult family situation, he or she can help out in private, but people with bad temper and flatterers should not talk to you. They're close."

Cao's eldest son realized something was wrong, and frowned: "Second uncle has ordered a lot, why does it seem like he is going to travel far away again?"

Ah Sheng smiled and glanced at his eldest nephew: "You might as well guess again."

Cao Ang thought hard for a while: "Could it be that something happened to my father?"

A Sheng nodded: "The heroes of the Kanto are going to fight Dong Zhuo. The heroes of the Kanto, including your father."

"Then I too—"

"What age do you want to do? Go to school first; when you are old, I will let you be a pawn. Don't complain when the time comes."

Cao Ang grinned: "No."

The eldest nephew, Wenwu Shuangquan, has a decent mind and has always made people worry-free. A Sheng touched his head with a simple ponytail: "When the camp is set up and the fire is made later, help me divide the meat for the soldiers."

Flying Eagle Cavalry is Cao Sheng's private property. Allowing Cao Ang to distribute condolences to the soldiers means that in a sense he is considered the heir of this army.However, at Cao Ang's age, he still can't understand the political hints. He just thought he was doing something for the elders, so he readily agreed.

Another 30 meters forward, Cao Zhen had entrusted the baby to his colleagues and was supporting Cao Song to walk.The spring is sunny and the muddy roads in the rainy season are hard and gray. Even an old man like Cao Song is willing to get out of the car and take a few steps.What's more, beside her is the eldest granddaughter whom she hasn't seen for a long time.

"In the blink of an eye, Ah Zhen became so tall." Cao Song didn't mention Cao Zhen's attire, nor did he say that it was inappropriate for a 13-year-old girl to mix in the army. Not to mention granddaughter.

Cao Zhen's face was blushing: "How can Ah Zhen, let my grandfather come to find me? It must be A Ang and A Shuo who encouraged me."

"Hahahaha," Cao Song laughed happily, "You two have a good relationship."

Cao Shuo is underdeveloped, a head shorter than her elder sister, and looks like a child squeezed next to adults. "Sister, sister, you have suffered in Goguryeo, I brought you this year's new candy from South Island." He took out a crumpled cloth bag from his sleeve as if offering a treasure, and opened the bag to reveal a Brown sugar wrapped in glutinous rice paper.

Cao Zhen smiled and tapped his younger brother on the forehead, and she accepted the bribe.But she is no longer the same as she was two years ago. She didn't dare to hide her secrets, and went to share a circle with her colleagues and wounded people. There were only a dozen pitiful candies left in two catties of candy.

Cao Song watched his eldest granddaughter talking and laughing happily with dozens of people like a little butterfly, and couldn't help sighing with Ah Sheng: "You take her so well, don't you know if it's a blessing or a curse?"

"The daughter of the Cao family has no worries about food and clothing or marriage, and the rest of the blessings and misfortunes are up to her."

Cao Song patted the back of the eldest granddaughter's hand, but turned his face towards A Sheng: "I heard from Da Lang and Ding that Ah Zhen has engaged the son of Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha. Their home is in Jiangdong, is it too far away? We have always been with each other. Marriages of rich families in Yuzhou..."

Ah Sheng pursed his lips, his almond eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of danger from the perspective of light and shadow.

Cao Song hurriedly turned the corner: "Of course, it's my parents' order. I can't say anything about their engagement. I just want to ask, what do you think?"

A Sheng pulled the confused Cao Zhen to his side: "Nowadays the world is in chaos and people are fleeing everywhere, so why cling to Yuzhou. Although the Sun family is not famous, both father and son are heroes, brothers and sisters think it is worth getting married, I'll take Ah Zhen to meet her."

"The heroes outside... that's all, but the children of Xiahou's family, the Ding family's children, and the big families in Qingzhou..."

"There are so many concubine sisters and concubine brothers in the family, brother will have children in the future. Besides, there are so many ways to make friends in the world, and it doesn't have to be exchanged with children's marriages. I always feel that the children are the only way to get along with each other. the best."

This sentence caught Cao Pei's attention.The mute widow who had been following behind raised her eyes: "Is it okay if you agree with each other but don't have the right background?"

Ah Sheng seemed to have just discovered her, staring at the rounded face from overeating, and said in a word: "There is nothing wrong with it. You are 22 years old, you are an adult."

Cao Pei showed no expression: "Then I'm going to study trauma medicine. If there are military men who don't dislike me, I will marry."

"You...you're mad at me..." Cao Song almost didn't come up in one breath, but it made him even more unexpected that Ah Sheng responded. "Go ahead, don't force my soldiers to do it."

Cao Song vomited blood, took a few steps, and got into the car. "Children are debts. You can play by yourself. I can't control it." However, when it was time for lunch, he couldn't worry about Cao Pei following Cao Zhen in the army camp, and secretly went to pull Ah Sheng's sleeve: "Look at Ah Sheng." Wear some, Captain... No, I will not agree to it below the head of the village."

He was really starting to age, and it wasn't obvious when he was a civil servant in Luoyang. Once he was out in the army, he couldn't help him in anything.Watching the children and grandchildren light the fire, share the porridge with the porridge, and change the bandages of the soldiers, he is both proud and disappointed.

Cao Jun was stationed next to a deserted farmland.It is now April, and the stalks of last autumn are still on the dark brown ground.Cao Song sighed even more, and said to the servants on the left and right: "There is also desertion in Liaodong. I don't know if the farmers who plowed this field have suffered from military disasters, or..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the guard in front of him rushing towards him shouting "enemy attack".

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Line up! The old and the weak are in the middle!"

Cao Song panicked, but fortunately, his own soldiers immediately surrounded him with shields and sent him to the center of the camp.Women, old and young were surrounded by vehicles, forming a temporary barrier.Outside the car was a circle of cavalry.

"Asheng, Asheng! Where's Ruyi?" Cao Song looked around and saw that the children were all there, but Asheng was missing.He trembled from his lips to his thighs, standing there dazed.

Cao Ang hurriedly pulled his grandfather to squat down, only to narrowly avoid a cold arrow.Cao Pei, Cao Zhen, and Cao Ang squatted together to form a human wall to block Cao Song's vital points.Cao Shuo also wanted to join the luxurious human wall package, but Cao Song grabbed him and hugged him into his arms.

"Grandfather, don't worry." Cao Zhen said, "The arrow rain is too small, and the opponent will not exceed 100 people. We can handle it."

Cao Song waited for a while, but no more arrows flew over, and there was a sound of hacking and killing in front of him. "Ah Sheng, she..."

"Grandfather, the second uncle is the lord. The lord can't hide with women and children." Cao Ang whispered.

The waiting time was the most tormenting. I don't know how long it took, but Cao Song heard the voice of the soldiers: "My lord, my lord, my lady, all the incoming enemies have been wiped out. Please come out."

Cao Song hesitated for a while, and then Ah Sheng's voice came over: "Father, it's okay."

Cao Song breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with the support of his daughter and granddaughter, and saw A Sheng riding on the horse, and the quiver was empty.Blood dripped from her long sword little by little, seeping into the soil.

"Ah... Ah Sheng." Cao Song walked over tremblingly, and touched his daughter's hand that was not holding the sword. The palm was callused, but it was still warm.

The clothes on her left shoulder were completely torn apart by the arrow, revealing the soft armor inside.A few strands of hair leaked from the crown and hung around the cheeks, making the cheeks paler and the lips redder.

Rhododendrons cry blood, red all over the mountain flowers.What a compelling beauty, so beautiful that even his biological father was timid.

"Where did the bandits come from?" Cao Song's lips trembled for a long time, and finally he asked such a business-like sentence.

"Wuhuan is rebellious and colluded with Xianbei to plunder Liaodong. It was defeated by the Han army under Xiangping City [1]. This is a defeated army."

Cao Song was about to die of worry: "There are routs on the road, what should we do?"

A Sheng didn't hesitate at all: "Instead of going on the road, it's better to go to Xiangping City and wait for the road to be cleared."

Her thin figure blows in the wind, like an unshakable coordinate.Cao Song suddenly wanted to cry. That little girl who used to sit on his lap shaking her wit had gone through many lives and deaths before she grew into what she is today.

The author has something to say: Note [1]: The county seat of Liaodong County is Xiangping, which is near today's Liaoyang City.Xiangping was the political and economic center of Liaodong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were many big families.It was mentioned earlier that a Gongsun X dared to humiliate Gongsun Du's son, and this Gongsun X was the county magistrate of Xiangping.
